Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Ye Heng rode to the palace for court. Afterward, he went to the imperial study and handed in his request for leave. The emperor read it and smiled. "Approved. However, the naval training cannot be stopped. You will arrange your own time."

Ye Heng: "I understand. I'll make the arrangements." Ye Heng had everyone leave, leaving only the two of them. Ye Heng said, "I've learned that there's a coal mine in Tai'an Prefecture in the southwest. Coal can be used for cooking, heating in winter, and smelting steel. It's versatile and can be used by ordinary people. Your Majesty, please decide who should be assigned to open the mine." Upon hearing this, the Emperor was certain Guo Guo had made a contribution and said, "Uncle, who do you think would be suitable?" Ye Heng thought for a moment and said, "Building roads and digging coal requires hiring workers from nearby. We can send a supervisor from the court. Of course, we have to consider local officials as well." The Emperor said, "Then we'll send someone from the court to oversee the project, and someone from the local government to lead it." Ye Heng: "Alright. The road will be built in whichever county, and the Ministry of Works will have someone draw up a map." The Emperor said, "Then send someone from the Ministry of Works." Ye Heng: "I remember there was a man named Xue Zhi in the Ministry of Works. He's reliable and capable." The Emperor said, "Yes, I've met him since he was in Taohua Village. He could be used." "Ye Heng: "Then let's choose him."

The emperor then issued an imperial decree, which arrived at Xue Zhi's home, raising the rank of Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works to the third rank and immediately sending him to Tai'an Prefecture to oversee road construction and coal mining. He was to lead a thousand soldiers. That evening, Ye Heng summoned Xue Zhi and explained the specific tasks. Xue Zhi said cautiously, "I'll remember this." This is a later story.

Ye Heng excused himself and, as soon as he left the palace, mounted his horse, full of energy and energy, feeling relaxed and happy. He rushed home, flung the reins at the gate, dismounted, and ran inside. The gatekeeper hurried to get the reins and lead the horse back. The prince was so happy that he looked like a child!

Ye Heng trotted into the house, calling out, "Guo Guo, Guo Guo, I've taken my leave." Guo Guo came out with a smile on her face. Old Lady Li had heard about Ye Heng's departure earlier, and had called in Chen Jun to take Guo Guo's pulse, confirming she was pregnant. The whole family was already in Guo Guo's room, packed with people. They all saw Ye Heng running in, and the whole family was beaming with joy.

Huangbao stopped breastfeeding when he heard his mother was pregnant. Li Ru also helped Guoguo take care of the baby. Guoguo bought formula, but the baby was still primarily formula, with a little complementary food, as she couldn't treat her son badly. The bottle was glass and she washed it after every drink. Guoguo mostly fed the baby herself, and the child was only a little over a year old.

Seeing that everyone was in his room, Ye Heng didn't go in. He said goodbye to Guoguo and rode off to find Huanhuan. Huanhuan was still studying at the academy. He hadn't taken up an official position yet and wanted to study for a few more years. Not satisfied with his ability to master both civil and military skills, he wanted to continue studying and fell in love with physics and chemistry. Guoguo was also guiding him in his research on explosives. Huanhuan was also very good at physics and mechanics. Guoguo gave Huanhuan a bicycle, which he would ride around on his free time. Many of the students at the academy who were close to Huanhuan also knew how to ride, and they often lent their bicycles to others. Huanhuan also wanted to learn how to build one himself.

Ye Heng quickly arrived at the academy and thought about how to trap Huan Huan and make Huan Huan do things for him. Ye Heng found Huan Huan and called him out. Then, when they arrived at Guo Guo's office, Ye Heng said expressionlessly, "Sit down." Ye Heng poured tea for Huan Huan and said, "Have some tea." He poured himself a cup and said, "Your sister Guo Guo is pregnant. Huang Bao is still young and needs someone to look after him. Guo Guo also needs to be taken care of. Do you think you can help?" Huan Huan looked at Ye Heng and thought about what he said. What can he do when his sister Guo Guo is pregnant? Ye Heng: "I want to take care of your sister!" Ye Heng looked at Huan Huan and said, "Chai Gui, you are in your twenties now! You are an adult. You are good at both civil and military affairs and are full of skills." Huan Huan finally thought it through and said, "Brother-in-law, you want me to do it for you!" Ye Heng thought to himself, you are being sincere. Ye Heng: "I have to take care of Guo Guo. He will vomit when he is three months old. He is in great pain and I cannot leave him alone. Your fourth aunt and the whole family will have to help then. "Huanhuan couldn't refute a word after listening to this. She could only say, "Okay, what do you want me to do?" Yeheng: "For me." Huanhuan: "What for you? Just tell me." Yeheng: "First, tell me if you agree?" Huanhuan: "I agree." Yeheng: "You don't have to go to the court unless it's closed. You can just supervise the navy and follow the navy's training and take my position temporarily. I will ask the emperor for an official position on your behalf." Huanhuan: "Now that you've said this, nothing I say will work. Let's do as you say." Yeheng almost jumped up, suppressing his joy, and said, "Come on, I'll help you pack all your things." Huanhuan quickly realized that she might not have the chance to go to school in the future. Yeheng saw what Huanhuan was thinking: "It's okay. If you don't know anything, come back and ask me or your sister. We will both help you." Huanhuan knew that she had been tricked by Yeheng, but there was nothing she could do. She had to think about her sister. "Let's go. "Quickly packing up the important things, Ye Heng asked someone to find a carriage to help load them. He left the quilt behind and only took away the books and notes he had learned in the past few years. He didn't take anything else. His own explosives were not yet ready. He went to the laboratory to pack up and said goodbye. He also took the experimental records with him. This was very important.

Huanhuan came out and boarded the carriage. "Let's go." Ye Heng had specially arranged a carriage with a driver to take them to the Chai Mansion, where Ye Heng helped unload the carriage. Ye Heng had prepared a private courtyard for Huanhuan and hired five highly skilled secret guards to look after it. Ye Heng said, "Secure this courtyard. No one is allowed to enter." Guoguo arrived and said, "Thank you, brother." Guoguo took out some books on aquatic warfare and gave them to Huanhuan, saying, "Ask me if you don't understand anything." Huanhuan: "Okay." Ye Heng said, "Learn from me for a few days. I won't be able to go anymore in a few days. Everything is up to you. You have the final say. If you don't know, come back and ask me. You can bring someone you know." Huanhuan: "Okay. I'll make up my mind." Guoguo: "Brother, my sister is out." Huanhuan: "Okay." After seeing his sister off, he cleaned up the house himself, a task he was used to doing himself. He checked everything was in order. The sofa and chairs in the study, Huanhuan looked around, satisfied.

Guoguo soon brought snacks and fruit. "Brother, I just had this bread made. Try it." Huanhuan: "Okay, brother, have some." Huanhuan picked up a piece; it was quite tasty. Yeheng poured some tea. Huanhuan looked at the couple and snorted inwardly. He sat on the sofa, eating bread and drinking tea. He held a book in one hand. He knew all the characters; after all, he had seen these half-characters often since he was little, following his sister. His sister said they were simplified characters, with the same meaning. Huanhuan ate and read. Guoguo and Yeheng exchanged a glance and quietly left. Huanhuan ignored them and continued reading. ...
