I transmigrated to ancient times and became a king with a title equal to mine.

After more than four years of feeling stifled, Qin Ningtian finally got his chance to vent his frustrations.

He moved his palms, kicked and dodged, and charged forward with all his might.

"Didn't they say he'd been insane for four years?" a man in black shouted, clutching his severed arm.

"He is indeed a madman, otherwise he would not have been so reckless and focused solely on killing."

"This is a martial arts fanatic, a martial arts fanatic who doesn't defend or guard and only cares about killing."

"This kid is too good, let's run away quickly."

Qin Ningtian's overwhelming combat power and his reckless, non-defensive fighting style instilled fear in the men in black.

Many people tried to escape, but Qin Ningtian, filled with murderous intent, was not about to let them go. With a flick of his wrists, two silver needles flew out...

Within a few breaths, all the men in black were eliminated.

*Pfft...* Qin Ningtian spat out a mouthful of blood.

He steadied himself, stopped causing trouble for the man surnamed Fan, and leaped away.

Fan Yulei slowly got up, gazing at the distant place where the madman had disappeared, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"My goodness! This madman is a demon! I'll avoid him from now on."

Fan Yulei and Wang Maosheng were relieved; if Qin Ningtian hadn't been injured, he would definitely have tormented them.

Although Qin Ningtian annihilated the enemy, he was also badly wounded.

Moreover, there were several fatal internal injuries.

If a martial arts master were watching this fight, they would be absolutely stunned.

Don't even mention that the middle-aged man was a seventh-grade master; just look at the black-clad men he brought—each one was incredibly powerful, the weakest of whom was at the peak of the martial arts master realm.

To fight so many masters alone, his martial prowess is truly terrifying.

Important departments in Lishui County have been established, relevant ministers have taken up their posts one after another, and all tasks are proceeding in an orderly manner according to the plan formulated by the Prince of Nan.

Long Bin did not act rashly, but decided to stabilize the situation for a year first in order to stimulate domestic demand.

The task was delegated to his ministers, with Ma Gui and others supervising. Long Bin then began to study cultivation, alchemy, and medicine making within the transmigration system.

The second prince has been troubled by too many things lately. In the past, he was anxious when he saw his father sitting on the dragon throne. Now that it is his turn to take power and oversee the country, although he has not sat on the dragon throne, he is only halfway there.

However, after serving as regent for several months, he was overwhelmed by many important national affairs, especially the secret sabotage from his other brothers, which left him extremely stressed.

In the past, when dealing with the Southern King, the brothers worked together.

Now that his former allies have become potential enemies, he is preoccupied with his own problems and has no energy left to deal with the Southern King.

Long Bin took this opportunity to focus on his business in the area under his jurisdiction.

Lü Yong and others were dedicated to farming and preparing food supplies;

Zhengyangmen secretly operated countless commercial outlets.

These outlets included general stores, grain shops, cloth shops, pharmacies, restaurants, and post stations. They even secretly traded cannons with the states of Fujian, Yue, and Shu.

Zhengyangmen was in charge of making money, and that year he amassed a fortune for the Southern King, as money was the capital for his rule.

Princess Wang from Hainan chased after Long Bin all the way to Lishui, pestering him to give birth to several little princes for him.

In desperation, Long Bin thought of another thing that could both make money and enrich people's leisure time: newspapers.

Under Long Bin's guidance, Xiao Rong actually started a newspaper.

"Sanjiang Anecdotes" is published every three days. Wow, it started with 100 copies each time, then 5,000 copies, and now it's published every day, with more than 10,000 copies every day.

The newspaper office has grown from ten people to more than one hundred, not counting the newspaper boys.

"Sanjiang Anecdotes" conveys fresh happenings from all over the world, as well as the activities and announcements of the government and officials, to people in an unprecedented way.

This kind of thing, which was all the rage in Long Bin's previous life, greatly attracted people with a little bit of culture, as well as those with status and money.

The silver flowed into Xiao Rong's pocket with each newspaper sale, and the young lady was so happy that she forgot to warm Long Bin's bed.

Upon seeing this, Long Bin felt a surge of pride: In this life, I am surely the progenitor of the first newspaper industry.

Don't underestimate the power of newspaper printing. Based on his experience from his previous life, Long Bin managed to steal Bi Sheng's invention of movable type printing.

The entire nation of Xia was in shock.

When Empress Xiao heard the reports from the secret agents about the various new developments in Lishui County, she couldn't help but tremble: With such a prince living freely outside, how can my son ascend the throne?

The old hag gritted her teeth: "Let him and his mother go to the underworld!"

Long Bin was unaware that Empress Xiao had once again harbored murderous intent towards him, and that she was willing to do anything to kill him.

While reading the newspaper in the palace, he suddenly thought of a way to make money: "Advertise!"

Long Bin explained to Xiao Rong in detail the meaning of advertising, the methods for attracting advertisers, as well as the format and price.

The next day, Lu Zhusheng bought a block of tofu for twenty taels of silver and made a soup to treat stomach pain, which caused a sensation.

Subsequently, a queue formed in front of the newspaper office to discuss advertising business.

Long Bin skillfully applied his business acumen from his previous life to this one, greatly increasing the wealth of Lishui County within just one year.

Lishui County is now full of vitality.

The wheat and rapeseed are growing well and are ready for harvest.

Long Bin stood at the edge of the field and was very excited to see the wheat waves rolling and the rapeseed flowers fragrant.

"We must strengthen management and absolutely prevent other people's cattle and sheep from entering the fields," Long Bin repeatedly instructed Grand Minister of Agriculture Lü Yong.

"In addition, you need to summarize and compile the planting and management experience of wheat and rapeseed, and at the same time consider setting up demonstration cattle farms, sheep farms, and even chicken farms. The main purpose of doing these things is to set an example for the people, cultivate seedlings for them, and provide them with technology."

Lü Yong nodded and said, "Your subject understands, and will carry it out resolutely!"

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed since I traveled to ancient times.

Wheat and rapeseed have begun to be harvested.

Wheat yields in this world are very low, so the astonishingly high yields of wheat grown by the army aroused great interest among the surrounding farmers.

Many landlords and rich peasants used their connections to inquire about wheat seeds.

Long Bin personally taught Lü Yong and others how to extract oil.

When the fragrant cooking oil appeared at the grain store, Lü Yong sent people to cook dishes on the spot for people to taste.

In just a few days, rapeseed oil attracted the attention of everyone in Lishui.

Upon hearing Lü Yong's report, Long Bin laughed and said, "That's exactly the effect I wanted!"

“Sell all the pressed oil at thirty taels of silver per catty, have the grain stores shout it out, and have the newspapers advertise it.”

"Thirty taels of silver?" Lü Yong was startled.

Long Bin's face darkened. "What's wrong? Is it expensive? Then it's thirty-five taels per catty."

“My great Minister of Agriculture, Lord Lü, our Lishui County is dirt poor. We have so many soldiers to support and so many poor people to help. I am driven to poverty.”

"Don't hesitate, just do it."

"At the same time, you need to start preparing for the large-scale planting of wheat and rapeseed in the fall. Especially in the Yellow River floodplain and Huai River floodplain, you need to personally go and check to ensure implementation. As long as farmers plant wheat, we will have solved the problem of feeding the people."

At the same time, the hybrid rice seeds redeemed from the system store also began to be sown and cultivated.
