Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Chapter 311: Visits from Various Countries to Take the Imperial Examination

Guoguo thought about how she had lived here for twenty years. From a small village to the capital, the road had been bumpy, with many shops opening up. The lives of the people here had only just begun to improve, but she still had to work hard.

She found a recipe for making wine and experimented with it. The key ingredient was koji. She already knew how to make wine, but it was mostly for women, so she didn't make much. Now she's researching white wine and fruit wine. After much experimentation, she's finally developed a fruit wine. Pear Blossom Wine has a low alcohol content and is quite drinkable. Guoguo has set up a small yard behind the mansion to make it. The wine—called Pear Blossom White—is being produced in Beijing. Back home, there's wine—in Taohua Village, every household makes it.

Guoguo also built a sugar factory to produce both white and brown sugar. It was all behind his mansion. The white sugar was crystal white, bringing income to the people. They harvested sugarcane and sugar beets. Guoguo taught the people how to grow sugarcane and sugar beets, planting sugarcane in the south and sugar beets in the north. He built roads that stretched far into the distance. Every prefecture, county, and city along the road saw shops and factories proliferate.

Guoguo always insisted on going to the academy for classes. The annual imperial examination was coming.

Behind Guoguo Mansion is a large dormitory building where students can live. It is cheap and affordable. It provides convenience for ordinary students. There is a restaurant behind the mansion. Guoguo does not make money, so he buys cheap food to provide food for students.

Yeheng was the busiest. He left before dawn and didn't return until dark. State affairs were important. Perhaps foreign countries were coming to pay homage at this time. Foreign envoys arrived at Yeheng to arrange for the Ministry of Rites to entertain them.

He stayed in the palace and helped his brother with his work in the imperial study.

General Wen intensified troop training at the army camp. With the arrival of the envoy, Ye Heng ordered him to lead daily patrols throughout the capital to maintain law and order and strengthen security. The capital had 20,000 troops, 5,000 of whom were naval, while the army camp had only a little over 10,000 men. This was insufficient to maintain law and order and protect the people of the capital.

Dayan is vast and sparsely populated. While the prefectures have slightly more people, there are many counties and cities, but the populations are small. For example, Taoyuan County, with its seventeen villages, is the largest. Some prefectures, states, and counties are only the size of seven or eight counties. The smallest village has only twenty or thirty households. Even in the mountainous areas, there are still a few households, but their remote locations make it impossible to provide care.

Ye Heng went to the inn to take a look before returning home without saying anything. He asked the secret guards to keep an eye on it.

Guoguo asked if they should put up some electronic eyes. Ye Heng said, "No. I have secret guards watching them." Guoguo remembered something and said, "I wonder if you know about tunnels?" Ye Heng was puzzled: "Tunnels?" Guoguo nodded: "It's a road dug deep under the ground." Ye Heng thought that if this was done on the border, it would be difficult to defend. Ye Heng went out and arranged for people to check carefully and report any movement immediately. There were patrols at the Chai Mansion day and night, and the Ye Wang Mansion as well. The housekeeper returned to the mansion at night to guard the house. Guoguo saw that Ye Heng was a little paranoid and comforted him!

Ye Heng was too busy to go to the modern world. He asked his son, Huang Bao Guo Guo, to go instead, and everything went on as normal.

Minmin went to the train station to pick up her sister Yangyang. When Yangyang got out of the car, Minmin helped her carry her suitcase to the car. Yangyang couldn't wait to say, "Sister, tell me what happened?" Minmin told her how she saw her mother had enough money to buy a car and a house. Yangyang immediately said, "Let's go to my place and check out." Minmin was speechless: "Okay."

The two talked in the car. Yang Yang almost jumped up when he learned about the situation. "Finally, I can lie down. Sister, I'll lie down for half a year first, and then I'll go back to work." Min smiled and said, "Okay, this is still you, no one else. I'll transfer money to you when I get home. Mom gave you a lot of money. The new dad is handsome and handsome, even more handsome and handsome than an actor." Yang Yang: "Really? I'll come next time and see him too." "Okay, Mom gave birth to some more brothers and sisters, quadruplets. They are so beautiful, so cute, and so adorable."

Yang Yang imagined it, feeling so happy! Finally, she didn't have to go to work.
