Chapter 314: Lin Yuantang became more and more excited as he spoke, with a light flashing in his eyes.

"After the late emperor passed away, the Crown Prince took the throne, and the livelihood of the people has always been a headache for him. He has sent governors here to supervise the refugees, and also to build up Wuheng. This special location, if successfully built, will surely become an excellent city to protect our Great Capital!"

Ruan Mian probably understood Lord Lin's bold words. He simply wanted to develop the town. Of course, the formal establishment of Wu Heng's government must also be the emperor's intention.

She smiled and said, "Your Excellency is right. However, I am just a commoner and I am afraid I can't help..."

"That's wrong! Madam Ruan, although you are a woman, you possess extraordinary intelligence. Food is the foundation of a country. If you can solve this problem, it is equivalent to saving hundreds of thousands of people!"

"I specifically called Madam Ruan here today because I want to ask for your guidance."

"Look, Wuheng is vast and sparsely populated. Aside from the harsh cold weather, the soil is also fertile. If we can make good use of it, it will surely become a huge granary!"

"Madam Ruan, I want to mobilize all the people in the city to reclaim wasteland and then distribute the land to the people. If Madam Ruan can guide us in growing more food, I believe our Wuheng City will be able to get rid of poverty and the people will be able to live and work in peace!"

Lin Yuantang became more and more excited as he spoke, with a light flashing in his eyes.

"Your Excellency has a plan. I will do my best to help any good cause that benefits the country and the people. However, Your Excellency wants to distribute the land among the people. Does the court agree?"

No matter what, he was just a local governor, and he probably didn't have that much power when it came to land.

However, Lin Yuantang shook his head and pulled out a handwritten note from behind his back: "Madam Ruan, don't worry about this matter. The emperor personally handed this place over to me, and I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations."

After seeing the yellow document, Ruan Mian no longer had any worries.

She bowed to Master Lin and said, "Since that's the case, I'm willing to help you, Master."

She knew very well that if they wanted to grow crops on a larger scale and achieve higher yields, it would mean that the people from just one village would not be enough.

Both human and material resources are indispensable, and government officials must be dispatched when necessary to make things go more smoothly.

Since Lin Yuantang has the idea of ​​developing this place, which coincides with Ruan Mian's expectation, it would be better to take this opportunity to cooperate with each other.

She provided seeds and technology, allowing the government to mobilize the people to reclaim the wasteland just in time for the beginning of spring.

So in the following days, Ruan Mian was very busy. He was either on the way to the prefecture or on the way to the plantation.

All the business in Guancheng can only be handed over to my aunt.

The only time he had time was for the two days when Ruan Qing got married.

All shops, whether in Guancheng or Wuhengcheng, will be closed for two days.

Even the weaving workshops were closed.

Almost the entire village came out to get Ruan Qing married, not to mention that she was marrying General Huo, even the military camp where Huo Zong was located was filled with joy.

Ruan now has a certain reputation in Wuheng. The night before the wedding, she personally prepared a dowry for Ruan Qing.

Although it didn't look like much, the contents of each small box shocked Ruan Qing.

There are several shops and a lot of land and property.

In addition, there are many heavily crafted jewellery items which, although exquisite, are priceless and are obviously rare items at first glance.

These were just the most common ones until Ruan Mian took out the dividend deed of the Kyoto Horse Gang.

Ruan Qing was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "Sister! How could this happen?"

Ruan Mian said calmly: "Take it, this is the protection that my sister prepared for you."

"Do you remember those Black Armor Army 'deserters' we rescued on the road to exile?"

"Back then, I showed them a clear path. I told them to go to Kyoto and find a man named Qi Congyang to transport goods. Now, they've become the largest freight company in Kyoto. And this profit-sharing agreement will earn them a lot of money over the course of a year. At the rate you're spending, you won't be able to spend it all in several lifetimes."

"What's more, this deed not only lists the profit share, but also the property that belongs to you. No matter where you go, as long as there is a branch in the area that runs the business, they will arrange a property for you to live in."

This was also the additional condition added when writing this contract with those people, just in case.

"Sister! You've already given me enough. I certainly can't accept such a valuable deed!!"

"You are my dear sister. We are the closest people in the world. Now that I have this ability, of course I want to give you the best."

"If you don't accept it, I'll just feel guilty. I've been married twice, and I know marriage isn't easy. Even the best marriages can never be predictable. Only when you have something to rely on can you be confident enough not to be bothered by current grievances and pursue a better life."

"So you must accept these. Marriage is a matter between two people. I hope you can understand the essence of it and manage your own marriage well. But it is not your final destination. You must remember that your destination will always be yourself. Do you understand?"

Her heartfelt words made Ruan Qing burst into tears, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Sister..."

She was grateful and heartbroken at the same time, hugging Ruan Mian tightly and crying like a child.

Thinking back to when she and her family were exiled, she was filled with fear and anxiety. She was on guard all the time and didn't even dare to sleep.

But later, seeing Ah Mei's bravery and fearlessness, she learned more and understood more.

Now their family can live a stable life in Wuheng, and their lives are getting better and better. All this is thanks to A-mei!

"Sister, Sister Ruan will definitely remember every word you say. Live a good life and love yourself."

"With your words, my sister feels relieved."

This time, Ruan Qing's wedding was decorated by Ruan Mian inside and out to make it extremely festive, and the ceremony was even grander than when she and Ah Huai got married.

The wedding dress was made by my sister-in-law, the red hairpin was given by my mother, the red velvet flowers were made by Cuizhu, and the round fan was sewn by Meixi herself.

Every stitch and every thread on her body was made by her relatives.

Ruan Qing, dressed in gorgeous clothes, looked bright and beautiful. Amidst everyone's farewell and blessings, she got on the red sedan chair heading to the military camp.

Watching her daughter get married, Zhang was sobbing and crying uncontrollably.

I can’t describe the joy and the reluctance I feel, but what’s more important is the emotion of my daughter getting married.

At the same time, she looked at Mianmian beside her, and her heartache was particularly obvious.

The second daughter has been married twice. Her ex-husband was a bad man who almost ruined her life.

She finally found happiness in her second marriage, but it was so short-lived. Her second daughter was such an outstanding woman, so why didn't God give her a good husband who matched her and could stay with her until old age?
