The doctor Xie Qing found was named Huang Shouye. His medical skills were mediocre, but he was obedient.
Following the castration procedure written by Xie Yuan, he conducted experiments on each pig in the pigpen.
If there are any failures, the dead pigs are used to make dishes.
Those that succeed are kept in separate pig pens for observation.
After one experiment, two experiments, and so on, Huang Shouye gradually went from being panicked and helpless at the beginning to being calm and composed.
He castrated all the pigs in the pigsty, and his technique became completely mastered.
Huang Shouye was extremely grateful to Xie Yuan, for the princess had taught him a valuable skill that could be passed down to future generations.
Because of this gratitude, he was extremely loyal to Xie Yuan even without a contract of servitude.
They moved their entire family to the Xie family manor, and the whole family joined the Xie family's ranks.
Xie Yuan was fair in rewarding and punishing, and Huang Shouye, who did well, was naturally given a generous bonus.
With the money and a place to settle down, Huang Shouye became even more proactive.
He constantly studied the techniques, not only becoming good at castrating pigs, but also becoming familiar with some pig-raising skills.
Seeing how reliable he was, Xie Qing entrusted him with all the affairs of the pig farm.
Huang Shouye became the first junior manager of the Xie family manor. Although he had no one under his command but a bunch of pigs, he had at least been "promoted".
Huang Shouye was greatly encouraged, and his children also enthusiastically went to the pig farm to help.
The Huang family worked diligently, and the results were gratifying.
A month later, the pigs at the pig farm were growing well and there were no diseases.
I estimate that in another two months, they will be ready for market!
The pig farm has officially entered a phase of orderly development.
Rabbit farms and sheep farms have also achieved a virtuous cycle, and gradually, they have begun to produce output.
Before the twelfth lunar month arrived, the first batch of pigs could finally be slaughtered.
These pigs were not intended for sale, but were to be supplied to the guards of the military camp.
After two or three months of continuous recruitment, the personal guards of the Yue King's mansion have expanded to three thousand without the knowledge of outsiders!
The first batch of new recruits (one thousand people) have been sent to the salt fields on the beach and the sugar workshop in Xianjia Village.
The second batch of recruits (still a thousand people) were sent to the mountains and seaside for various wilderness survival exercises.
The third batch of recruits, estimated to be the last thousand who could be recruited openly, underwent basic training in the military camp.
Xie Yuan's training methods, after three rounds of testing, have become quite mature.
Helian Chen was originally a general who led troops into battle, and after "observing" Xie Yuan for several months, he completely mastered this "body-refining technique".
He summarized a complete set of experiences, recorded them in detail, and then submitted them to Helian Jue.
Meanwhile, sugar shops in Guangcheng and Yuezhou continued to thrive.
Helian Jue received his bonus from Xie Yuan – 100,000 strings of copper coins!
That's equivalent to a full 100,000 taels of silver!
Looking at the whole box of silver ingots, and then at the "body-refining technique" that Helian Chen had sent, a burning light ignited in Helian Jue's usually indifferent eyes:
"The time is ripe—"
He thought he would have to lie low for a few more years, but unexpectedly, a substitute bride sent by the Xie family gave him such a big surprise.
"Xuan Yi!"
Helian Jue called out softly.
Suddenly, a figure appeared silently behind Helian Jue like a ghost.
"That plan can begin!"
Helian Jue pointed to the silver, "Take this. If it's not enough, there will be more!"
"yes!"
Xuan Yi, like Huang Mao and others before him, was a secret guard carefully raised by Helian Jue.
There weren't many people, only a little over two hundred.
However, each one of them is an elite selected from among thousands.
The secret guards were divided into four departments according to the principles of Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow, and each department selected twenty-four people according to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.
These people don't have their own names, only code names.
Xuan Yi is the second strongest person in the Xuan character group, so according to the order of Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding, he became "Xuan Yi".
Moreover, Xuan Yi is not the only one; there are two other "reserve" members.
If Xuan Yi dies or betrays, a new Xuan Yi will take his place.
The secret guards were Helian Jue's greatest trump card and source of confidence.
It was also the cornerstone of his rise to power.
Originally, Helian Jue thought that he only had these secret guards left.
He never expected that he would gain such a capable queen.
With the money and training methods provided by Xie, his plan could be brought forward by several years.
"Xie, as long as you never betray me in this life, I will never let you down!"
In the dimly lit study, Xuan Yi had already left with the silver. Helian Jue remained hidden in the darkness, his eyes unfathomable.
...
"Your Highness, the palace has been completed, and I have purchased all the furniture, decorations and other items from Guangcheng and other places."
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the damp and cold wind seemed to seep into one's bones. Xie Yuan, wrapped in a white fox fur cloak, walked in from outside.
Upon seeing Helian Jue, she curtsied slightly, "Your Highness, please choose an auspicious day, and we will be able to move into the Prince's residence!"
After several months of hard work, the Yue Prince's mansion was finally completed.
Xie Yuan had also prepared all the necessary decorations, including curtains and screens.
Everything is ready; we just need to choose a good day to move in.
Helian Jue raised an eyebrow. "Is everything ready?"
Xie Yuan nodded. The Prince's Mansion was also her home, so of course she would do her best and would never be perfunctory in the slightest.
"Your Highness is indeed capable! Now that you have prepared everything, the task of choosing an auspicious day and moving into the new house should naturally be entrusted to you as well!"
