The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

The next morning, as the dawn light began to paint the sky with a gentle blue-purple hue, Chen Mengyao rose early from her bed. She tiptoed into the washroom, meticulously completing her morning rituals, her face radiating freshness and vitality. Then, she summoned her attentive maid, Meixiang, to help her style her smooth, dark hair. Meixiang's skillful touch quickly transformed Chen Mengyao's hair into a simple yet elegant updo, a few wisps of hair gently framing her forehead, adding to her gentle and graceful charm. Chen Mengyao then carefully applied light makeup, making her already beautiful and refined face even more radiant and captivating.

After everything was tidied up, Chen Mengyao went to the table, picked up a cup of spiritual spring water that had been prepared beforehand, and took a small sip. This spiritual spring water was her treasure; not only did it taste sweet, but it also had the magical effects of nourishing the body and boosting the spirit.

After drinking the spiritual spring water, Chen Mengyao took a deep breath, concentrated her energy, and used her powerful mental strength to instantly move all the network TVs that needed cameras to be installed into the department store's warehouse. Only then did she leisurely walk towards the Jing Prince's Mansion.

On the way, Chen Mengyao took out her phone and sent a message to the Crown Prince and others in the group, arranging to meet at the Prince Jing's residence later to discuss something.

As she walked, Chen Mengyao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and a new idea popped into her head—to establish a dedicated research department! After all, she had now successfully solved the electricity problem in Beijing, and it was time to bring her advanced electrical appliances to the market and sell them to ordinary people. But before that, she needed a group of professionals to teach everyone how to properly use these novel gadgets!

This department will be specifically responsible for teaching people how to use modern high-tech products, equipping them all with mobile phones and tablets, and allowing them to download all the necessary installation materials. In the future, she also plans to install air conditioners and even lay cables, enabling people nationwide to learn these skills. Establishing this department is absolutely necessary. Furthermore, if needed in the future, she plans to open a school nationwide specifically to teach various modern skills, including not only high technology but also how to make cement and lay cement roads, how to find coal and oil, and steelmaking skills.

Thinking about all this filled her with excitement. She believed that Dongling Kingdom would soon achieve its goal of becoming an economic powerhouse, something other countries would find hard to match. As she pondered this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and accidentally bumped into someone's arms.

Chen Mengyao was startled by the sudden impact. She looked up and found Ouyang Han smiling at her. "What are you thinking about?" Ouyang Han asked softly. He noticed that Chen Mengyao's expression was a little strange, as if she was lost in her own thoughts.

Chen Mengyao was slightly taken aback, then came to her senses. She smiled slightly and told Ouyang Han about her idea. After listening, a look of appreciation flashed in Ouyang Han's eyes, and he nodded in agreement.

Ouyang Han smiled and said slowly, "Your idea is indeed brilliant! Such a far-sighted vision and thoughtful approach are truly admirable! I believe this will have a tremendous and far-reaching impact on the future development of our Dongling Kingdom, bringing many benefits." He nodded slightly in affirmation, then added firmly, "In my opinion, my elder brother, the Crown Prince, will definitely give your proposal their full support. After all, anyone can see the boundless potential and bright prospects contained within such an excellent and constructive concept."

Chen Mengyao smiled gratefully, knowing that Ouyang Han's support was extremely important to her. She was filled with anticipation, hoping her plan would be successfully implemented and that Dongling Kingdom would rapidly develop into an economic powerhouse.

The two walked together toward Prince Jing's residence, discussing Chen Mengyao's plans and the challenges they might face. They knew the road wouldn't be smooth, but they both firmly believed that with unwavering faith and relentless effort, they would surely achieve their goals.

After Ouyang Han and Chen Mengyao entered the Jing Prince's residence, they went to have breakfast. After they finished breakfast, the Crown Prince and several princes and their consorts arrived at the Jing Prince's residence one after another.

Chen Mengyao met with the Crown Prince and his entourage. She instructed the Crown Prince to send the people who had previously learned how to install cameras to learn how to install internet television that day, and to have them installed in all the residences as soon as possible. She then told them about her plan to establish a research department. The Crown Prince and his entourage were astonished by her idea, but also admired her courage and determination. They unanimously agreed to establish the new research department and arranged for personnel to learn how to install internet television.

In this plan, she envisioned dividing the department into several smaller teams, each with its own specific role, to achieve a more efficient and professional workflow.

The technology team will serve as a pioneer, dedicated to exploring and researching high-tech fields such as electricity. They will continuously track the latest technological developments, learn and apply advanced power technologies, and provide strong technical support for the department's development.

The coal mining team will shoulder the heavy responsibility of coal and oil extraction. Although the formation of the coal mining team is currently limited by technology and will require the space to be upgraded to the highest level and the team to return to modern times to purchase the necessary equipment, Chen Mengyao has made ample preparations for that day. She believes that one day in the future, the coal mining team will be able to fully utilize its capabilities and provide a solid guarantee for the department's energy supply.

The construction team will focus on learning about cement production, road repair, and building processes. They will dedicate themselves to improving construction skills and ensuring that every project meets high-quality standards. Through their efforts, the department's infrastructure will be continuously improved, providing strong support for the work of other teams.

The agriculture group, on the other hand, focused on the research of agricultural machinery and tools. From waterwheels to harvesters, from seeders to tillers, they will delve into the mysteries of various agricultural machines in order to improve agricultural production efficiency and contribute to the department's food supply.

The water conservancy team will undertake important tasks such as constructing reservoirs and reinforcing river embankments. They will closely monitor hydrological changes and take timely and effective measures to ensure the safe operation of water conservancy facilities. Under their protection, the nation will be free from the threat of floods and usher in a more prosperous future.

The geology team will focus on studying the geological conditions of various regions, learning about earthquakes, and preparing contingency plans in advance. They will closely monitor geological changes, provide timely warnings of potential geological disasters, and offer strong protection for the department's safety.

The weather team will focus on studying weather changes, taking preventative measures against severe weather, and implementing appropriate response strategies. They will utilize advanced meteorological equipment and technologies to accurately predict weather changes, providing convenience for the department's work and daily life.

Chen Mengyao knew that implementing this plan would require time and effort, but she firmly believed that with the joint efforts of all members, the department would surely usher in a more brilliant future.

Upon hearing that Chen Mengyao had expanded her expertise beyond science and technology to encompass so many fields closely related to people's lives, the Crown Prince and his entourage held her in even higher esteem. Chen Mengyao suggested that they first recruit individuals with innovative and research-oriented mindsets to join the department; those learning camera installation could join the technology group. She also mentioned Mu Qingfeng and Chen Yufan, suggesting they join the construction group. As for other talent, they would search as extensively as possible, starting with the Ministry of Works and then seeking out capable individuals from the general public.

After some discussion, Chen Mengyao finally made a decision. She believed that the most important thing right now was to wait for the department store to open smoothly. Once everything had settled down, she could then focus on finding the relevant information. After all, being distracted at this time could potentially affect the preparations for this crucial event.

As for the subsequent work arrangements, Chen Mengyao already has a clear and specific plan. Later, she will carefully compile and submit a detailed plan to the Crown Prince and others. This plan will cover details of all aspects, including specific timelines, task allocation, and expected results, so that the Crown Prince and his team can have a clear understanding of the progress of the entire project.

In addition, Chen Mengyao planned to download all sorts of videos and a large amount of text materials and send them to the Crown Prince and his team. This way, through intuitive visual displays and detailed textual explanations, the Crown Prince and his team would have a clearer understanding of the materials needed by each department and how to operate them correctly. This would not only help improve work efficiency but also minimize errors and misunderstandings caused by poor communication.

As for the necessary materials, if suitable resources can be found locally, then of course, every effort should be made to collect them. After all, using local resources not only saves on transportation costs but also better ensures the freshness and quality of the raw materials. However, if some special materials are simply unavailable locally, Chen Mengyao won't feel anxious. The reason is that she has a considerable number of points! These points are very useful; with them, Chen Mengyao can easily exchange them for the corresponding materials in her spatial dimension.

Of course, if she didn't have enough points, Chen Mengyao had another plan in mind—to ask Xiaobai if she could directly use the local currency to buy the missing materials. Although she didn't know if this method would work, it was always good to have another option. However, given the current situation, to ensure everything went smoothly and to avoid unnecessary risks and losses, Chen Mengyao decided to conduct a small-scale pilot operation in the capital city first.

In the initial phase, after careful consideration, Chen Mengyao planned to focus on launching two main categories of typical products with considerable market demand: electrical appliances and cement. The reasons for choosing these two items were twofold: firstly, their widespread use and indispensability in modern life; and secondly, to conduct a comprehensive review of the entire business operation process by launching these two products first, identifying any oversights or areas for improvement. Simultaneously, this approach would accumulate invaluable practical experience for subsequent large-scale marketing campaigns, ensuring a more stable and smoother path for future development.

The Crown Prince and his entourage expressed that they fully understood and promised to immediately discuss the matter with their father, the Emperor, upon their return, requesting that he allocate funds to establish such a crucial department. Regarding the personnel needed, they stated that they would carefully select reliable individuals, especially for the department's management, as this concerned the long-term development of their nation and could not afford any mistakes, nor could they allow any malicious individuals to take advantage of the situation and cause trouble.

After discussing the establishment of the research department, Chen Mengyao brought up another important purpose for their meeting. She hoped that the Crown Prince and his entourage could personally visit her department store over the next three days, either disguised as ordinary customers, to assess the employees' knowledge of the products and their familiarity with the upcoming opening activities. The Crown Prince and his group readily agreed, promising to send people immediately upon their return and to provide her with timely feedback on the employees' performance. Chen Mengyao was overjoyed.

After the business was concluded, the Crown Prince and his entourage took their leave, and the Crown Prince was even more eager to go to the palace to report the matter to his father, the Emperor.

After the meeting concluded successfully, Chen Mengyao was filled with unprecedented confidence. She knew that this was just the beginning, and that many more challenges and trials lay ahead, waiting for her to overcome and face. But she also firmly believed that as long as she remained steadfast in her dream and worked tirelessly towards it, she would surely lead Dongling Kingdom to the glorious path of becoming an economic powerhouse.
