"How has the Tianxianglou branch been doing these days?" Xu Yuehuai had been in the Mingyue Kingdom's palace these past few days and had no way of knowing what was happening outside.
Qi Guze then said, "You don't need to worry about the Tianxianglou branch. I'll take care of everything."
"Once the King of Mingyue Kingdom is cured of the poison, we need to quickly discuss the barter arrangement with him so that we can leave this place sooner and then deal with other matters."
The Kingdom of Dark Moon was merely their first stop.
Now that the King of Mingyue Kingdom is willing to cooperate with their Great Zhou Kingdom, they will have to deal with the issues of the other two countries.
"Good! The King of Mingyue Kingdom will be well soon, and then I can quickly push forward with the barter system."
Xu Yuehuai felt incredibly excited whenever he thought about handling other matters at the Tianxianglou branch and expanding the Tianxianglou business throughout the four kingdoms.
"Yes, I'll wait for your good news."
Qi Guze had other things to do, so he didn't stay long and soon said goodbye to Xu Yuehuai.
"I must leave now. You stay here in the palace!"
Xu Yuehuai was also a little reluctant, "Yes, Your Highness, you must take good care of your health while you are out there."
Qi Guze's internal injuries have not yet fully recovered, so if he encounters any danger, he will likely have a hard time fighting back.
"Alright, you don't need to worry about me. I have Pei Xuan and the others by my side, so I'm perfectly safe."
He then hugged Xu Yuehuai before letting go and leaving.
Xu Yuehuai watched Qi Guze's figure disappear into the darkness before closing the window and going back to rest.
She got a good night's rest, and then resumed her daily routine.
The King of Mingyue Kingdom was quickly cured of the poison, and his body no longer had any other problems.
"Shouldn't Your Majesty fulfill the promises you made to me before?" Xu Yuehuai asked the King of Mingyue Kingdom.
The King of Mingyue smiled faintly, "That's natural, but Manager Xu doesn't need to rush. I'll discuss the barter with you when my important people return."
Xu Yuehuai was surprised that the King of Mingyue Kingdom wanted her to wait, and wondered what it was about.
Now that she was in the palace of the King of Mingyue, her life was in the hands of the King of Mingyue, so she couldn't argue with him and could only agree.
Many days later, Xu Yuehuai went to inquire about the progress of the Mingyue Kingdom's king.
However, the King of Mingyue Kingdom kept dragging his feet, as if he had no intention of engaging in a barter system with their Great Zhou Kingdom.
Xu Yuehuai received news from Qi Guze that the first batch of envoys from the Great Zhou Kingdom had arrived with supplies.
They were just waiting for the King of Mingyue to agree to the barter arrangement before they could take action.
Xu Yuehuai came again that day to inquire about the King of Mingyue Kingdom.
When will the person His Majesty is waiting for arrive?
Then the King of the Dark Moon Kingdom said, "The time has come."
Xu Yuehuai then waited a few more days.
Finally, the people the King of Mingyue Kingdom was waiting for arrived, and Xu Yuehuai discovered that they were the people who had visited their Tian Shang Lou branch before.
Those who were supposed to be going to reclaim wasteland are now actually the people the King of Mingyue Kingdom has been waiting for.
This surprised Xu Yuehuai somewhat; she hadn't expected the King of Mingyue Kingdom to care so much about these people.
The King of Mingyue Kingdom held a welcome banquet for those people and also invited Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze.
"They've arrived, bringing good news."
“Some things can now be grown on that wasteland to the south.”
The king of the Dark Moon Kingdom asked the people who were reclaiming the wasteland to explain the situation.
"Over the years, we have conducted many experiments on that barren land in the south, and only recently have we achieved some results and been able to grow some crops."
"It can meet everyone's needs! Everything is safe to eat!"
After hearing what they said, Xu Yuehuai felt even more confused.
Based on their ancient technology, it would have been impossible for them to grow anything on the barren land to the south.
Did they use modern technology?
Did some time traveler come and teach them, which enabled them to successfully grow things?
Xu Yuehuai immediately realized that there must be time travelers secretly helping these people.
But when she looked at those people, she couldn't figure out who the time traveler was.
The King of Mingyue was overjoyed and immediately inquired about Xu Yuehuai and the others.
"Bartering is only a temporary solution. Do you want to cooperate with me in reclaiming the wasteland in the south?"
Although their Mingyue Kingdom was the first to find a way to reclaim wasteland, they did not have much research on those crops, nor did they have many seeds, etc.
The Great Zhou Kingdom was different from their Mingyue Kingdom.
The Great Zhou Kingdom is exceptionally wealthy and has a large supply of seeds. It is certain that by cooperating with the Mingyue Kingdom, the vegetation on the wasteland will become even more abundant.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai was at a loss for words.
She then turned her attention to Qi Guze and let him make the decision.
Then Qi Guze said, "This is a good matter. I am willing to represent the Great Zhou Kingdom in cooperating with His Majesty the King."
Upon hearing this, the King of Mingyue Kingdom couldn't stop smiling.
"Truly worthy of being the Regent of the Great Zhou Kingdom! Since you are willing to cooperate with us, then we need to discuss the next steps carefully!"
The King of the Underworld Moon Kingdom discussed some things with them, which was a good thing for both of them.
Xu Yuehuai was also discussing the matter from the side, sharing her own opinions.
She would occasionally chat with those who were clearing the wasteland, trying to find out which of them was a time traveler.
However, the other party did not reveal any flaws, and Xu Yuehuai has not yet found out who the time traveler is.
She was becoming increasingly puzzled. Why were there always time travelers appearing around her, yet she was never able to find them?
Does the other person also know of her existence and are deliberately avoiding her?
Xu Yuehuai didn't dare to ask any more questions and quieted down.
Qi Guze and the King of Mingyue Kingdom discussed cooperation, and they were about to begin exchanging goods.
A few days later, the first batch of envoys sent by the Great Zhou Kingdom brought all the goods into the Mingyue Kingdom.
The King of Mingyue Kingdom also arranged for people to send his local specialties to the Great Zhou Kingdom.
The people of the Mingyue Kingdom were shocked to see such a long procession from the Great Zhou Kingdom delivering the goods.
They initially did not want to cooperate with the Great Zhou Kingdom, but when they saw that the Great Zhou Kingdom was not only rich in resources but also had particularly delicious food, they were tempted.
