Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When night fell, the people who were busy working in town returned to the village. They tasted the strawberries that Su Binglan had given them and became excited.

“These are delicious! We’ll make a fortune if we sell these,” Wei Shan said, “Besides, Madam Binglan has already taught us how to grow more. We’ll be doing that for her starting tomorrow.”

The following morning, everyone got busy helping Su Binglan plant strawberries in the greenhouse. That way, strawberries would be available to sell and eat all year round.

After more than a month of hard work, the villagers had grown more than enough strawberries in the greenhouse. Simultaneously, the construction team had also finished building Black Mountain Village’s business district.

Soon after, Su Binglan opened the hotpot restaurant, kebab restaurant, mala hotpot restaurant, and many other shops. The once-lonely streets became lively after the appearance of these shops and cuisines.

Many merchants had already booked their shops in advance in the newly built business district. When the contractors finished building the shops, the merchants could start their businesses.

Simultaneously, Su Binglan taught the people in the surrounding villages how to grow strawberries. She even organized a team of villagers to teach others how to raise silkworms.

She then added some modern silkworm-rearing methods. She also designed new looms and gathered a group of carpenters to build them. Then, she set up a weaving factory in the area and hired people to weave silk.

Su Binglan provided a work schedule and monthly salaries and bonuses to her employees. She hired many women to work in the weaving factory. They often gathered after work to chat and spoke highly of Su Binglan.

It was only later that they realized that Su Binglan was the princess.

“I didn’t expect our boss to be the princess.”

“I know, right?! I’m still in disbelief. Princesses typically live in the royal palace and enjoy a luxurious life, but Her Highness travels and interacts with commoners like us.”

“Her Highness is wonderful and very approachable. I was stunned when she spoke to us.”

“Yeah! She even smiled and encouraged me when she visited the factory. She told me that I was doing a good job and that I weaved very quickly.”

“We work hard because Her Highness pays us well. Those who work harder will receive a higher bonus, too. People will feel motivated for getting paid that much.”

“The work environment also helps motivate us. We used to weave slowly at home and spent all day doing it.” 𝚏𝚛ee𝐰𝗲𝚋n𝐨𝘃𝗲l.𝐜𝐨m

“Yeah, now we have rest days and can rest at home. We don’t have to worry about much because we have stable jobs and income.”

“Yeah, but I have to pick up my child from school daily after work.”

“It’s too bad that your village is far away from the school. I don’t have to pick my children up because the school is just a few steps away from my home.”

“The government has just set up the school and has yet to implement other things. Apparently, they will arrange for some carriages to wait outside the school and bring our children to and from school.”

“That’s good. Everyone can rest easy if it’s safer with the carriages.”

Everyone smiled as they chatted, full of hope for life. The entire border province had gone through drastic changes over the past three months.

With Black Mountain Village as the center, people from other villages and Black Mountain Village began growing strawberries in greenhouses. Soon, strawberries became popular throughout Chu Country and even other countries.

Moreover, the government had finished building all the free schools around the country and even hired all the teachers. Even the more established schools were under the government’s management now.

Soon, every parent sent their children to school to gain knowledge and skills. They began to realize that mastering a skill and gaining cultural knowledge could benefit their children greatly.

After settling things in the border province, Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an prepared to visit Bright Moon City. The city was close to the border, but it happened to rain a day before the couple left.

Su binglan looked at the rain from under the roof and felt a little emotional. It’s already late autumn, and winter will be here soon.”

Luo Jin’an could feel the temperature dropping when a cold wind blew into the room. He closed the window and said, “Indeed, it’s getting colder now. We should try not to get caught in the rain.”

Su Binglan said smilingly, “It’s okay. After seeing Black Mountain Village develop, I can just enjoy the scenery. The rain is quite beautiful, isn’t it?”

She felt a sense of accomplishment after helping to develop the border province.

Luo Jin’an smiled. “All of Chu Country will prosper soon enough. So many foreign merchants are beginning to set up their businesses here. Some even come to purchase fabric and other goods from the textile mill.

“The merchants even come to buy looms. Although they don’t know how to use the looms you designed, they like the fabric that they can produce. Also, the new looms make weaving much quicker. It can also produce so many unique patterns.”

Su Binglan smiled. “It’s just a combination of the loom and the person using it. The structure of the looms isn’t that complicated. Still, it’ll help everyone weave fabric at a higher pace.

“Now that we’ve done what we could for the border province, we should head to Bright Moon City tomorrow.”

“All right.” Luo Jin’an nodded.

The couple fell asleep quickly that night while listening to the rain.

The following day, Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an set off for Bright Moon City. They had to head north and pass through a desert area, but Su Binglan thought the weather would be cold.

However, the closer they got to the city, the hotter it became. There also seemed to be a severe sandstorm approaching. Su Binglan’s expression turned solemn as she wondered what it would be like in Bright Moon City.

Fortunately, she could sense the city’s direction with her spiritual energy. Anyone else would have gotten lost in the desert. Still, it took the couple ten days to find Bright Moon City.

Su Binglan looked at the signboard with the city’s name on it and said, “It looks like we’re here.”

“I never expected it to be in the desert,” Luo Jin’an said solemnly, “No wonder almost no one knows about this city. It’s so full of mystery.”
