The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

The next day, Jingxue prepared all the goods the delegation needed and sent them over. She also went out of the palace to put the grain seeds that had been enhanced with her special abilities into Qin Jing's warehouse in the capital, as well as the goods ordered by Wanyan Junhao.

Because the Emperor has already informed us that the Ministry of Revenue will inspect the goods in the agreement again on the fifth day of the month, and of course, the delegation will also need to send someone.

This ensures that the division will depart on time to return to Cangbei early on the sixth day of the lunar new year.

Hu Yucheng brought Liu He with him.

Upon seeing Jingxue, Liu He said regretfully, "Your Highness, what a pity! How could you not know how to start a fire? Alas! All these months of hard work!"

Jingxue smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do! We've encountered some scoundrels, and they'll definitely get their comeuppance. It's alright, we have plenty of seeds. You've become familiar with the habits of several crops over the past few months, so these can't be burned."

"That's true. I not only wrote it down on paper, but also kept it in my heart."

"That's good!"

Hearing this, Hu Yucheng was very disappointed. It seemed that they hadn't really burned their foundation. But where did Jingxue get the grain seeds?

When inspecting the grain seeds, Hu Yucheng took a closer look and exclaimed that the seeds were truly excellent! The grains were uniform and plump, and the soybeans even had a strong bean smell.

On the morning of the sixth day, all the civil and military officials gathered at the palace gate, and the emperor also arrived in his imperial carriage.

The Grand Preceptor of Wulin, along with a group of envoys, paid their respects to the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, we will depart for our homeland today. We wish Your Majesty good health and the prosperity of Beiye!"

The Emperor smiled and gestured for his envoys to rise. "Distinguished envoys, please rise. Today, as you return from your long journey, I am deeply moved. In the future, our esteemed nation and my country will enjoy prosperous trade and exchanges, a testament to our harmonious cooperation. In the years to come, I sincerely hope that your nation will uphold etiquette and abide by treaties, jointly promoting peace and prosperity. In the event of conflict, peace talks should be the priority, avoiding war and preventing the suffering of our people. My sincerity is evident to Heaven and Earth. I wish you a safe journey and return with good news."

"Furthermore, I have dispatched the King of War and his wife, along with the Crown Prince of Qin, to escort the envoys to the Ten-Mile Pavilion."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" said the Imperial Advisor.

Jingxue didn't bring the intercalary month today; she had already sent Ying Si and Ying Wu to Yue'an Palace to pick up the three children and bring them back to the mansion.

We arrived at the Ten-Mile Pavilion without any problems, and it was finally time to part ways.

Ye Muchen, seated on his horse, clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Distinguished envoys, I will see you off here. I wish you a safe journey!"

Wanyan Junhao said, "Ye Muchen, if you have the chance, bring your queen to the grasslands too!"

Ye Muchen replied, "Definitely!"

Ulintuya smiled and said, "Princess Consort Zhan, thank you for giving me Little Meng. It's made my journey less boring."

"Tuya, you're too kind!" Jingxue said.

"Second Prince, go back and do your job well. If you can become the new King of Cangbei, I will give you a big gift: turn the milk you can't drink into milk powder and transport it to every place in the world. Don't let my things fail to get out!" Jingxue said with a smile.

Wanyan Junhao was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Do you think I'm stupid? Your things are so expensive, why would you give them to me? But your goods are indeed good!"

"If you can't get the job, just say you can't!"

"Who says I can't be the King of Cangbei? I just don't like being the King of Cangbei."

The Imperial Advisor didn't want the two of them to argue anymore; Jingxue was even stirring up trouble for her son-in-law before leaving! He clasped his hands in a respectful bow, saying, "Please wait, everyone, until we meet again!"

As the long procession gradually disappeared into the distance, Ye Muchen and his two companions turned their horses around and returned to the capital.

Finally, she could return home. Without realizing it, Jingxue had come to regard this place as her home.

Jingxue cooked several dishes that evening and invited Uncle Lian and Zhang Kang from another courtyard over for a lively meal together.

The children chattered away, and the mansion returned to its usual normal state.

After dinner, Ye Muchen didn't rush back to Mingyuan Pavilion. He sat in the main hall drinking tea. Jingxue felt embarrassed to go back to her bedroom if he didn't leave.

"Xue'er, you've been tired these past few days, take a good rest for a few days!" Ye Muchen said.

Jingxue shook her head. "I'm going to the shop tomorrow. Everyone has worked hard this past month! Also, after the Lantern Festival, Jingze and An'an will start school. I also want to visit my maternal grandmother on the eighth day of the first lunar month."

"By the way, there is something I really need your help with!"

Ye Muchen put down his cup and said, "There's no need for us to talk about helping each other. Just tell me if you need anything."

"Qin Jing, Lu Zijing, and I want to start a girls' school. I want to recruit some children of martyrs. Is there a list of martyrs on the government's register? I'm mainly worried that someone might make false reports. Checking them one by one seems like too much trouble."

“Leave this to me! Construction on the military village hasn’t started yet, so most people still have time. I’m sure you’re not short of money, so I’ll lend a hand!” Ye Muchen said.

"Also, I'll go with you to the Li residence! Then tomorrow, I'll have the steward deliver a visiting card."

“That works too! We can have the housekeeper tell my uncles that Mother gave birth to a big, healthy boy.” Jingxue couldn’t help but smile after saying that.

Ye Muchen was momentarily dazzled by her smile, and the corners of his mouth also curved up.

"Xue'er, your medical skills are excellent. When you have time, could you teach the military doctors in the camp how to suture wounds? You know that external injuries are the most common during battles." Ye Muchen didn't dare to mention Doctor Baili.

"No problem, I have sewing tools and such here, but you'll have to pay for them! They're not expensive."

“Okay!” Ye Muchen nodded.

"Speaking of military doctors, I've established a girls' school, and some of these girls will be selected to study medicine in the future. However, it's impossible for me to teach them personally every day. So, I'll have your military doctors come and give these girls some lessons. It won't be for nothing; I'll pay for it. Then, I'll go to the Imperial Hospital and invite two imperial physicians to come and teach as well."

"That's a great idea!"

"Xue'er, the first batch of military dependents will be arriving in a few days. Do you have any good ideas? I've had an idea recently. You mentioned that for future military supplies, such as uniforms and shoes, I'd have the dependents make them. Since we'll be going to other places to buy them anyway, why not buy the materials and have our dependents make them, so they can earn the money?" Ye Muchen said.

Jingxue nodded, "Sure! As long as the imperial court agrees! You mentioned military villages, I remember someone saying that your military villages were built next to the official road, right?"

"Yes!"

Jingxue unconsciously leaned closer to Ye Muchen and said, “When you build Jianjun Village, you can build a row of inns along the official road. This will make it convenient for merchants to stay. You can also select some smart and capable children of the soldiers to work as helpers, which will solve some of the labor problem. Of course, you need to use good people in terms of management.”

Ye Muchen listened attentively, and Jingxue continued, "I know that the official road is the main road and sometimes it is a long detour, but the official road is safe! If it is convenient for accommodation and other things, I believe that some people would rather take the detour than choose to take the official road."

"Xue'er, I will need to ask you for more advice in the future. Thank you very much for today!"
