Zhou Yimo received a notice that there was a visitor at home and immediately rushed back to Zhou's house. He and Li Qingqing introduced Li Feng to Zhou's mother.

When Zhou's mother knew that Li Qingqing had found her lost relatives, she was happy for her.

After lunch, several people sat in the outer hall for a while, and Li Feng then explained the purpose of their trip.

"I'm here this time to take you to the Southern Protectorate." Li Feng looked at Li Qingqing and said seriously.

Li Qingqing was slightly surprised, but then she heard Li Feng continue to explain:

"His Royal Highness Prince Qing wishes you to bring the raw materials for making the black fireballs to the Protectorate, where they can be made directly. He also hopes to obtain blue bricks as soon as possible to facilitate the construction of defensive walls."

Only then did Li Qingqing realize that since Li Feng and Mu Yunjing returned last time, several wars of varying scales had occurred on the southern border.

With the help of the black fireball, he was able to win every critical moment.

But in doing so, the number of black fireballs decreased dramatically.

Li Qingqing thought to herself,

Xie Xuan'an is in charge of the business and sends people to deliver the business income on time every month. The Zhou family no longer needs to worry about money.

The brick kiln and Qingfeng Pavilion in Lihua Village are both managed by dedicated people, so she doesn't need to pay too much attention to them.

The villagers' living environment has improved, and now only the planting issue is still in progress.

This is an easy matter. She just needs to leave the seeds at the county government office and tell Zhou Yimo the planting method.

In other words, there was no problem for her to leave Lihua Village.

It makes no difference whether she's here or not.

Thinking of this, Li Qingqing nodded in agreement.

She said to Xie Xuanan:

"Have Shitou take you to Qiushui Town. Arrange for personnel to purchase sufficient raw materials as soon as possible. Also, check what other supplies you need to bring. Prepare them all."

After she finished speaking, she paused, then added subtly, "There is no limit on supplies or quantity."

Xie Xuanan knew she would use her secret channels to transfer the supplies, so he left in a hurry.

Li Qingqing said to Zhou Yimo again:

"Please write a letter to Mr. Feng and Yun Ying. I need the dozen or so Shadow Guards who participated in the creation of the Black Fireball last time. Also, ask Yun Ying to send over some more Shadow Guards with better skills. I'll leave them to you and Xiao Xie to command."

Now Xie Xuan'an's swordsmanship is improving day by day, and new people are joining Qingfeng Pavilion from time to time. Yun Ying is too busy, so it is time for Bai Ye to return to Qingfeng Pavilion to be in charge of training.

After hearing this, Zhou Yimo nodded to show that he understood. He then wrote two copies of the letter, and Bai Ye immediately rushed to Qingfeng Pavilion with the letters.

Li Qingqing went to make mooncakes, and Zhou Yimo had nothing to do at the moment, so he helped with the barbecue kiln.

From time to time, the two discussed some ideas for enlightenment schools and farmers' markets.

As they chatted, they talked about the large bamboo forest on the back mountain. If the bamboo could be mined, the villagers could use it to make some handicrafts and sell them at the market.

"I remember there seem to be some books on this subject. I'll get them for you." Li Qingqing thought for a moment and then asked, "Have you finished reading those two medical books?"

Hearing that Zhou Yimo had finished reading the two medical books, Li Qingqing found two more for him from the space.

These two medical books, one specializes in treatment techniques, and the other is about the use of poisons. Both are medical classics that did not exist in the Dayuan Kingdom.

Originally, Li Qingqing wanted him to learn a book just for self-defense.

This is to avoid being unable to balance the two due to busy studies, after all, the next scientific examination is less than half a year away.

But in Zhou Yimo's opinion, there is not much difference between one book and two books, and there is no harm in reading one more book.

Li Qingqing then thought of Zhou Yimo's amazing memory, and thought that as long as he didn't fail the exam, it would be fine, so she let him do whatever he wanted.

In the evening, Xie Xuan'an tasted the mooncakes as he wished, and he immediately became interested in the baking kiln.

When he learned that the kiln could not only bake mooncakes but also other delicious foods, his interest was doubled.

After all, in Dayuan Country, the methods of making pastries are usually limited to steaming, boiling, frying and baking. Baking is a unique method that has never been seen before.

The two of them discussed it and decided to try to open a bakery.

So, Li Qingqing spent a whole night improving and designing the blueprints for a slightly larger earthen kiln, and also memorized and improved some baking recipes that could be used normally.

The next morning, she excitedly handed the design and baking recipe to Xie Xuanan, but he was disgusted:

"This handwriting is so ugly!"

Li Qingqing: "..."

She didn't want to do that, but she couldn't find a suitable recipe in the space, otherwise she would have asked Zhou Yimo to copy it directly.

Zhou Yimo, who was standing by, saw this scene, came over to take a closer look, and then praised:

"My wife's handwriting has improved significantly. It is now clearer and easier to read than before."

After saying this, he added with a smile in his deep eyes:

"My lady, while you're at the Protectorate, if you have some free time, why don't you and I exchange letters? This way, you can also take this opportunity to practice your handwriting."

Li Qingqing: "..."

What do you talk about in correspondence?

How's the weather today?

"The shadow guard doesn't have the free time to deliver letters for you two!" Xie Xuan'an glanced at Zhou Yimo and said slowly.

He put away the design and baking recipe, ready to hand them over to his men for testing after returning to Qiu Shui Town.

The handwriting is a bit ugly, but as long as he can make money, he doesn't really mind it.

Now the entire Nanqingzhou is Mu Yunjing's territory. He is much safer here than in Kyoto. No one threatens him, so he no longer operates in a low-key manner as before.

In addition, Li Qingqing comes up with some new things from time to time, so he can't keep a low profile even if he wants to.

Of course, he was also quite cautious. Even if his biological father who lived in Kyoto had doubts about him, he could not be sure that he was actually the one running the business.

He is now a low-key county magistrate who can't go anywhere.

Little did he know that the low-key county magistrate had been inadvertently betrayed by Master Qiu at this time.

Master Qiu was called here by Zhou Yimo.

But he didn't know the exact location of the Zhou family, so he took a ox cart to ask for directions and was seen by the village chief.

The village chief took the initiative to step forward and greet him. Master Qiu was overjoyed to see an acquaintance. He hurriedly got off the car and waved to the driver to go back.

"Village Chief, please take me to the Zhou family. I want to see the two county magistrates."

"Two county magistrates?" The village chief was shocked. When did the Zhou family have two county magistrates?

"County Magistrate Xie and County Magistrate Zhou, you know what? They're incredibly close."

Master Qiu followed the village chief to the Zhou family with a smile on his face. Suddenly, several ox carts came and headed straight for the Zhou family. He couldn't help but ask curiously,

"Village Chief, are these ox carts going to County Magistrate Zhou's house?"

At this moment, the village chief's mind was still hesitating between the identities of County Magistrate Xie and Master Xie, but his eyes were attracted by the ox cart.

He looked carefully and saw that the person sitting in one of the cars was the village chief of Qiujia Village in Pinghua Town.

The village chief thought of Zhou Yimo’s previous lobbying. Could it be that they knew the news about the seeds in advance?

The more the village chief thought about it, the more anxious he became. He couldn't help but quicken his pace and rush to Zhou's house.

"Master Qiu, please take care. I'll go over and take a look first." The village chief said this and hurried forward.

"Hey, village chief, why are you walking so fast?"

"Don't be impatient, I told you not to walk so fast, I'm the one who registered!

"Everyone, don't worry, don't worry. If anyone needs seeds, please register with me! I'll send the seeds to you the next day after registration!"

"Yes, yes, yes, the seeds are free for the first year, no money! I say again, no money!"

"Ah? You want fifty kilograms? That's a lot, can you use it all?"

"No false reporting, no extra requests, seeds are limited, first come, first served!"

……

The idea of ​​planting grass seeds in the fields was started by Qiu Kui and his team, and spread like a gust of wind from Lihua Village to Qiujia Village, and then to other villages and towns.

All idle paddy fields were covered with a layer of crops that were free of charge in the first year and could be eaten by livestock and poultry.

Even the village chief, who had previously vowed not to plant grass in the fields, couldn't wait to plant such seeds.

Li Qingqing was very happy, the first step to increase rice production was completed!

While Zhou Yimo and Xie Xuan'an were organizing the villagers to sow seeds, she had already happily stuffed all the supplies that Xie Xuan'an had stored in the yard into the space.

Afterwards, he, Li Feng and a dozen shadow guards hurriedly set off for the Southern Protectorate.
