She is now past the first trimester of her pregnancy. With the care of the female doctor, Wan Youyou, and Yun Niangzi, her complexion has quickly become rosy, and she is full of energy.

A merchant walked up to her, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "I am grateful for the care of the city lord's wife. I have acquired several more furs this year. I will definitely come back earlier next year!"

Song Liyun replied with a smile: "Manager Wang's pretense of buying furs this year is that he came to scout ahead."

"Come back next year, and remember to bring more farmers who can work the land. I still have a hundred acres of land that I need to rent out!"

Manager Wang laughed heartily: "Nothing can be hidden from you, Madam. The summers here are long and the climate is dry. I'm planning to plant cotton next year, and I hope you'll reserve some land for me!"

Song Liyun nodded: "Then it's a deal!"

Those grasslands were cleared, and half of the land was used to grow corn and potatoes, but in the end, it was discovered that cotton was the best product.

This is another profitable economic crop in Mida City.

The caravan snaked away like a long dragon, and the crowds at the city gate gradually quieted down.

Song Liyun sat in the city lord's mansion and opened the booklet.

Although the number of cattle and sheep slaughtered this year was less due to time constraints, there were many merchants and prices rose accordingly, resulting in an increase in herders' income.

The headmen who came to hand over the account books laughed heartily.

The taxes in the city were sufficient, and with the payments for goods from various places, there was even a surplus after paying the soldiers' wages that Zhao Tingduo had taken away.

Mida City's business is just getting on the right track, and it will only get better and better in the future.

Song Liyun had just finished flipping through a few accounts when Wan Youyou came in. She first dismissed the maids serving in the study, and then whispered mysteriously, "Young Madam, the thing you mentioned has been made. Now Old Master Yu wants to test it outside the city. Would you like to go and watch?"

At this point, she looked at Song Liyun's belly again: "The explosion was very loud, won't it frighten the baby in your belly?"
