Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The chief contractor was so excited to see the blueprints that his hands trembled. He could not take his eyes off the blueprints, either. “Your Highness, these are… These buildings…”

He could imagine how unique and extraordinary the buildings would be. He had built many magnificent buildings but had never seen such designs. He was shocked and excited, not expecting to be involved in this project.

Su Binglan asked softly, “Is there a problem?”

The chief contractor shook his head. “No, no, the blueprints are extremely detailed. It’s just that I’ve never seen such unique structures before.”

Su Binglan’s supermarket design was highly similar to that of the modern world. However, she stuck with the ancient architectural exterior to match the era. Still, it was expansive and easy to navigate inside.

She even wrote every measurement in detail. Contractors who knew architecture would know how to build it just by looking at the blueprints. The chief contractor could also imagine the buildings appearance easily.

Moreover, the blueprints included several different-looking structures. Su Binglan nodded. “Just build it according to the drawings.”

She also gave the chief contractor the needed materials and starting capital. As for the construction team’s wages, she would pay them daily.

Su Yi had already traveled from Su Teng Village to the capital. As the project was substantial, he would monitor and oversee its progress. He would also arrange for someone to settle the financial expenses.

Additionally, Su Binglan had requested him to pay the workers. After making these arrangements, she went to handle other matters. Previously, Luo Jin’an had given her full control over his familys business.

Since the previous emperor had sealed the business, the building was empty. However, the locations of these shops were excellent as they were at the center of the bustling capital.

Su Binglan planned to use one of these shops to open a juice bar and milk tea shop.

Su Binglan brought Su Chun to one of the shops and said, “We’ll use this one as a juice bar. I’ll draw up a renovation design later and hire someone to do the work.

“I’ll use the one next door as a milk tea shop. Let’s try to complete the renovations and open these shops as soon as possible. We’ll sell cold drinks and ice creams here, too.’

Su Chun lit up when she heard Su Binglan’s words. The former knew she could eat something new soon. Su Binglan had told her about milk tea before, but Su Chun had never tasted it.

“Master, can we drink milk tea while watching the plays at the theater?” Su Chun remembered her master saying it would be great if they could have milk tea at the theater.

Of course, people snacked while watching, but they only had water to drink. It would be better if they had fruit juice and milk tea. That way, it would be even more relaxing.

Su Binglan smiled. “Sure, drinking milk tea is also a way to relax.”

Su Chun became motivated. “Should we do it now, Master?”

It was hot because it was just past noon. Su Chun thought he could drink milk tea after making it.

Su Binglan said, “We’ll need milk to make it. It’s best if someone could raise cows in batches.’

Su Chun was stunned. “I’ve never heard of anyone who specializes in raising cows. People typically use cows and bison to help with farming. Won’t the milk taste weird?”

Su Binglan smiled. “Milk is a good thing. We can use it to make many things. I even used milk to make my cakes. Still, 1 don’t know if there’s any milk here, If there’s none, we can open a milk farm that specializes in producing milk.

“Since milk has a high nutritional value, it’s also good for children. We can also use it as a facial wash because it’s good for the skin.”

Su Binglan could imagine what it would be like. Her eyes even sparkled when she thought about the cow farm. Su Chun was just as excited and could not wait to try the milk.

Su Binglan brought Su Chun to a nearby village to see if there were any cows. The living conditions of the villagers near the capital were much better than those in Dingzhou. Every village had several families with cows.

Su Binglan even paid the families double the price for their cows. Moreover, she hired the villagers to build a vast farm for the cows. She had planned to build a factory first but decided to start with the farm first.

She walked through a few villages and ultimately bought more than ten cows. After building the farm, she would put them in and hire people to care for them. Su Binglan paid the villagers well to take care of the cows.

After a busy afternoon, she prepared to return to the manor. Just before that, she got someone to give her a bucket of milk to bring back.

The villagers only snapped out of their daze after Su Binglan left. They looked at the money they had earned with trembling hands. One said, “Her Highness paid us so much just for our cows and to care for them for a few days.” “Was that really Her Highness?”

“She also said she wants us to build a farm on the surrounding wasteland. Although we don’t know what a farm is, Her Highness will hire us to work at the farm for considerable wages.”

“I’m still in disbelief.’

“You should believe it! I have a distant relative from Dingzhou, and they told me about the factories the government runs. Her Highness hired those villagers to work for her and paid them handsomely. She doesn’t do it for a profit but to help the people instead.”

“Her Highness is so good to us. Not only will we have a farm, but she also came to ask us some questions. I heard she plans to build many factories around here, which will provide countless job opportunities. The strong laborers can earn money, even the women.”

“l wonder how the farm works.’

“We’ll only be a little busy during the spring harvest. I heard the princess will give everyone a holiday to plant crops.”

“Our new emperor encourages farming to reclaim wasteland. We will have more food once we do that.”

The villagers valued their land, especially in this era. They knew they would no longer panic because they would have enough food..
