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

Qiu Yuan bowed to Ji Yunshuang and said, "Your Majesty, as you instructed, we have investigated the caravans that have entered the city in the past few days, and we have now identified eighty-two caravans."

Thirty of the caravans were regular customers, while the other fifty-two were visiting Jingyang City for the first time.

Before leaving Jingyang City, Ji Yunshuang wrote a proposal to regulate the management of the city's migrant population.

After reading her proposal, Lu Yinheng followed it and waived the fee for entering the city.

However, everyone entering the city must undergo detailed registration.

In addition to registering upon entering the city, guests staying at inns also need to register.

Although Lu Yinheng later went to Qi with Ji Yunshuang, Jingyang City was still managed according to the previous rules.

This time, Ji Yunshuang sent people to investigate the caravans that had recently entered the city, and her subordinates quickly figured out the caravans that had entered the city in recent days based on the records.

Ji Yunshuang said, "The main thing to investigate is the movement of those fifty-two caravans entering the city, and see what they did after entering the city."

Like Taoyuan Village, Jingyang City has many workshops. Some workshops have already been built, while others are under construction.

Many of the workshops that have been built have already begun producing products.

In the past two years, due to natural disasters and war, food has been scarce, and food processing in food workshops has become the most popular business.

The two most popular workshops in Jingyang City right now are the bamboo shoot processing workshop and the konjac processing workshop.

People in that era believed konjac was poisonous and dared not eat it. So even when affected by war and natural disasters, no one dug up konjac to eat.

The Guo family won the bid for the sweet potato processing project and built a sweet potato processing workshop in the industrial street planned outside Jingyang City.

But after the workshop was built, construction began. Due to war and natural disasters, the areas under Ji Yunshuang's jurisdiction were short of food, and there were still so many soldiers to feed.

The sweet potatoes grown on Ji Yunshuang's estate must first be used to feed everyone; there are no surplus sweet potatoes that flow to the market for processing.

However, Ji Yunshuang had already considered this point, so before leaving, she left her confidants with methods for identifying and preparing konjac.

In addition, there are methods for processing bamboo shoots.

Of course, these recipes aren't given away for free.

Like sweet potato processing workshops, these businesses had to pay a portion of their profits to the imperial court as a fund for infrastructure projects such as road construction.

After much hesitation, Guo Xiaofei finally approached the imperial court and signed an agreement with them.

At first, he didn't have much confidence in these two prescriptions.

But when his men returned with the konjac and winter bamboo shoots as he had instructed, he watched them cook them according to the recipe Ji Yunshuang had given him, and he was as if he had discovered a new continent.

Who would have thought that the konjac, which was considered poisonous and which he used to avoid even touching, would not only be non-poisonous but also delicious after being made according to Ji Yunshuang's recipe?

Besides konjac, there are also winter bamboo shoots.

In his mind, winter bamboo shoots were always used for stir-fries or stews. He never knew that winter bamboo shoots could be made into various flavored snacks. And they were so delicious when made into snacks.

Guo Xiaofei immediately gave the order to teach the people about konjac and to buy it at a price of one coin per pound.

Besides konjac, there are also winter bamboo shoots, which are also purchased at a price of one cent per kilogram.

When the people heard that digging for that stuff could bring them money, they all went up the mountain to dig it up and exchange it for cash.

Previously, everyone thought konjac was poisonous and no one had ever harvested it. In addition, konjac is a perennial herbaceous plant, and in winter, the above-ground parts of the plant wither, but the underground parts still survive.

Moreover, the longer they grow on the ground, the larger they become.

In addition, konjac is highly adaptable and has low requirements for soil and climate. Wild konjac grows on a very large scale, and the amount harvested by the locals is considerable.

There are many mountains near Jingyang City, and there are also many winter bamboo shoots.

Soon, Guo Xiaofei had acquired a considerable quantity of konjac and winter bamboo shoots. The food processing workshop began producing food in batches.

Konjac can be processed into many foods. The recipes left by Ji Yunshuang are for konjac desserts and konjac noodles.

In modern times, konjac snacks have become popular with countless people because of their crisp, chewy, and spicy taste.

Not to mention in this era that is almost a culinary desert.

Konjac Jelly has been loved by countless people since its launch.

Besides konjac snacks, there are also spicy crispy bamboo shoots and pickled pepper crispy bamboo shoots, which are also very popular.

Seeing that several products were very successful, Guo Xiaofei immediately arranged for his subordinates to use the channels that the Guo family had previously established to sell these products all over the country.

Soon, these snacks became popular all over the country, starting from Jingyang.

Although many people went hungry due to natural disasters and wars, the gap between the rich and the poor has always existed in every era.

Moreover, the wealth gap in this era is particularly severe.

Especially in the capital, many wealthy families still live incredibly extravagant lives.

After the success of snacks like konjac crackers, the Guo family attracted a lot of attention. Many powerful families and merchant caravans frequently entered Jingyang City, hoping to find opportunities.

In order to attract investment, Jingyang City has also established many new departments.

If he were a true businessman, he would definitely want to make a name for himself in Jingyang City and seize this opportunity.

Even if the other party did this intentionally, a fake is a fake, and it can definitely be found out if you investigate.

After receiving orders, Qiu Yuan personally led a team to investigate. Ji Yunshuang then temporarily returned to her spatial dimension.

She had been traveling non-stop these past few days, and after arriving in Jingyang City, she hadn't had a proper rest for quite some time because of Fu Ci and the group of guards who had been infected with snake venom.

She went back to her room to rest first.

She drank the nectar of the merit tree and smelled its fragrance; after only an hour's rest, she was full of energy.

While Ji Yunshuang was resting in her spatial dimension, news had already spread in the group that someone in Jingyang City wanted to frame her by deliberately releasing many poisonous snakes into the Fu residence to harm Fu Ci.

Yan Xin was so angry when he heard the rumors spreading like wildfire that his nose almost twisted out of shape.

They had previously spent countless manpower and resources to spread rumors that Ji Yunshuang had created a plague and kept monsters in captivity.

They put in so much effort, yet many people still remain skeptical.

But only a few hours have passed? And public opinion has already turned one-sided?

Now everyone is speculating whether Ji Yunshuang is being framed.

Many people have already suspected Emperor Gong of Zhou.

Some people even started cursing Emperor Gong of Zhou.

Not only were Emperor Gong of Zhou criticized, but almost all the court officials in the capital were also criticized as well.

Yan Xin had never seen such a scene anywhere before.

The people of Jingyang City openly discussed the current situation, criticized Emperor Zhou Gong, and lamented the incompetence and corruption of the old dynasty in teahouses, restaurants, and even on the streets.

He simply couldn't understand how anyone could be so audacious.
