My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

After considering it for a few days, the villagers of Taoyuan Village quickly made their own decisions.

Most villagers accepted the terms of the expropriation and stayed in the village, while only a small number chose to leave and settle elsewhere.

Ji Yunshuang had people survey the unclaimed land near Taoyuan Village and arrange for the relocation of villagers.

Taoyuan Village has also entered the reconstruction process in an orderly manner.

The overall planning of Taoyuan Village was carried out by Wen Chongzhi, a famous garden design master of the time, who designed the village according to the local terrain.

However, Ji Yunshuang offered many suggestions regarding the overall planning of Taoyuan Village. In addition, she also hired some professional herb gatherers to help.

These herb gatherers were all people Gao Lan had gone to great lengths to find.

Now, following Ji Yunshuang's instructions, Gao Lan has opened two shops in Guangping County and recruited many herb gatherers.

In addition, the medicinal herb planting base in Guangping County is beginning to take shape.

Upon learning that Taoyuan Village planned to build a medicine shop and a medicinal herb base, Gao Lan was somewhat worried: "Won't that...affect our business?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "No, the market for medicine is huge."

Moreover, she has many prescriptions, and she had already thought about how to balance them when she proposed building workshops and medicinal herb bases.

From then on, the pharmacy in Taoyuan Village would mainly produce medicines for military use. The pharmacy she had Gao Lan set up would mainly produce medicines for civilian sale, as well as beauty and health pills.

Gao Lan was the person who handled things for her, and she would have to take care of many things in the future. She didn't hide the plans from her.

Gao Lan was shocked once again to learn that Ji Yunshuang had planned this all along. She knew Ji Yunshuang was formidable, but lately… in her mind, Ji Yunshuang had become almost a god.

Although Ji Yunshuang still treated her without any airs, she felt that she was unworthy of being called "sister" by Ji Yunshuang.

How virtuous and capable she is!

The best thing she ever did in her life was probably taking the initiative to greet Ji Yunshuang and befriend her!

Unexpectedly, that became the greatest stroke of luck in her life.

After arriving in Ningxingzhou, she felt as if she had seen a world she had never seen before, and that the previous decades had been wasted.

She never knew that a woman could live like this!

Gao Lan is now full of energy.

Upon learning that Ji Yunshuang needed people to gather herbs, he immediately led his men to Taoyuan Village.

In addition to the herb gatherers she recently recruited through various means, she also has the planting experience she has been seeking out from various people these days.

Currently, no one in Da Zhou has cultivated medicinal herbs on a large scale.

But she discovered that many doctors not only diagnose illnesses, but also have a deep understanding of which medicinal herbs grow in which areas and what environments they prefer. Consulting them also allows her to learn a great deal about medicinal herb cultivation.

So she often sought opportunities to learn about this subject from familiar doctors, and then compiled the knowledge into a booklet.

After some research and consideration, the medicinal herbs to be planted at Taoyuan Village's medicinal herb base were quickly decided. Construction of the medicinal herb base, villagers' residences, and herb processing workshops also began simultaneously.

While the renovation of Taoyuan Village was in full swing, King Xuan was so angry that he smashed a table full of tea sets.

He had high hopes for his son's trip to Ningxing Prefecture, but to his surprise, even his son, whom he had always admired, was unable to do anything about the Ji family.

Despite spending so much time in Ningxing Prefecture, he failed to gain control of the military forces there, and instead, the reputations of the Ji family and Prince Rui only improved.

Now, the story of Prince Rui's two sons, together with Lady Ji, helping villagers afflicted with the plague has reached Jingzhou. The people speak highly of Prince Rui.

It is said that Prince Rui was good at educating his son and loved the people like his own children. It was precisely because he loved the people like his own children and properly resettled the refugees that the Ji family was loyal to him.

Some people even compared him to Prince Rui, and eventually concluded that he was inferior to Prince Rui in every way.

If it were Prince Rui, he would have reclaimed the lost cities long ago. Unlike him, who is completely helpless against the Qi army...

Upon hearing these rumors, King Xuan was so angry that his temples throbbed.

After throwing a tantrum, he sent his trusted confidants to Ningxing Prefecture to question Fu Weiyi about how he had handled things.

Fu Weiyi never expected that things would go so badly for him after he arrived in Ningxing Prefecture.

He was now as if his hands and feet had been cut off, completely unable to function. Several of his schemes were impossible to carry out, and the men he sent out had all vanished into thin air.

All his capable and loyal bodyguards seemed to be possessed after arriving in Ningxing Prefecture.

Once they're sent out, they never come back...

Could the plague really be that severe? Have all the secret guards we sent out perished?

But now, even in the areas most severely affected by the epidemic, news is emerging that the local outbreak has been brought under control, and Ji Yunshuang is even leading a group to carry out some kind of reconstruction project...

He didn't know much about it, but he decided to see for himself.

He wanted to meet Lady Ji and see who she really was.

And so, Fu Weiyi disguised himself and led his men to Taoyuan Village.

Now that the villagers in the Taoyuan Village area have passed the infectious period, Ji Yunshuang no longer has anyone set up roadblocks.

Recently, Taoyuan Village has been making quite a stir, attracting many people who come to visit.

Fu Weiyi blended into the crowd and didn't stand out.

Construction is underway throughout Taoyuan Village, with some areas off-limits to outsiders, while others allow people to observe from the outside.

Although many places were off-limits, Fu Weiyi was still shocked.

Indeed, the way many places in Taoyuan Village were built was something he had never seen before.

He thought of Ningcheng.

Previously, the reconstruction project in Ningcheng had been significantly affected by many rumors unfavorable to Ji Yunshuang. However, after those rumors were debunked, the reconstruction project in Ningcheng continued.

He went to Ningcheng to visit.

Although it's not finished yet, the design in all aspects is ingenious. It's clear that the designer possesses great wisdom.

Now, he sees the same ingenious design in Taoyuan Village as in Ningcheng.

He couldn't help but admire the Ji family's talent. Prince Rui was indeed fortunate to have such a capable person as the Ji family under his wing.

Thinking about the purpose of his trip to Ningxing Prefecture, he felt a surge of irritation.

His plan failed, and the more he learned about Ji Yunshuang, the less he wanted to kill her.

It would be better if such talented people could be put to good use.

He was secretly thinking about a new plan.

Lost in thought, he was startled when the guard behind him, who was disguised as a fellow traveler, suddenly exclaimed.

He looked at him with displeasure, but the guard paid no attention to his mood.

His eyes widened in disbelief. "Your Highness, am I seeing things? I... I think I'm seeing a ghost."

Although he deliberately lowered his voice, every word he spoke revealed his shock and bewilderment.
