There was nothing he could do; even his own mother was telling him to leave. General Xiao could only pitifully work all morning without even having a meal before he had to go!
Song Yan'er watched General Xiao's retreating figure:
"Grandma, you're being a little biased!"
The old lady rolled her eyes: "When he was little, wasn't my heart and soul devoted to him enough? It's only after he got married and moved out that I've asked him less! Don't worry, he knows everything perfectly well!"
Song Yan'er: Okay, everyone has their own way of getting along, which others can't understand, but as long as there are no conflicts, that's fine!
...
Everyone seems to be very busy lately; even Song Yan'er and Xiao Yang can only see each other in the evenings!
Xiao Yang was busy with a series of events related to the new emperor's ascension to the throne, and sometimes when he returned, Song Yan'er was already asleep! And when Song Yan'er woke up the next day, Xiao Yang had already left again!
Moreover, the wheat is about to ripen! Because of Song Yan'er's improvement of grain varieties, the new emperor often takes Xiao Yang to tour the surrounding villages to inquire about the people's opinions!
In fact, these tasks could have been delegated to subordinates, but the new emperor preferred to witness them firsthand. According to him, seeing the wheat ripen and the harvest plentiful, and seeing the people, though exhausted and sweating, with joy and hope on their faces, seemed to cure all his troubles!
However, Song Yan'er was still very gratified that the new emperor thought this way, because she herself felt the same way. The reason she thought of improving the grain varieties was because there were too many people here who did not have enough to eat or wear!
Song Yan'er doesn't claim to be great, but she can't stand idly by when it comes to things she could easily do herself!
Although she approved of the new emperor's approach, Song Yan'er still complained to the Emperor Emeritus and the old lady about how busy Xiao Yang was and how he never stayed at home!
Perhaps because the two of them were somewhat in the wrong, they did not refute it. In the end, only Song Yan'er was left talking to herself. She felt it was meaningless and stopped talking!
Moreover, despite her complaints, Song Yan'er still supported Xiao Yang in her heart, after all, a man's ambition lies in all directions!
He couldn't just watch himself live off a woman! Even if Song Yan'er was willing, Xiao Yang couldn't get past his own conscience!
Recently, when General Xiao came to visit the old lady and the Emperor Emeritus, he always looked at Song Yan'er with a hesitant expression, and even Xiao Mingyu could tell that something was wrong with him!
Song Yan'er couldn't take it anymore and asked:
"You need me for something?"
As soon as General Xiao heard Song Yan'er speak, he immediately began to speak at length:
“Daughter-in-law, I really do have a favor to ask of you! It's about whether you could mass-produce those fever-reducing medicines that are so effective. Our border guards and frontline soldiers desperately need them. I think you know that injuries are common for them, but if they get a fever, it's very difficult for them to get through it! I saw you give it to our baby the other day and the fever went down shortly after. I asked Xiao Yang, and he said that's what you use at home! So, could you think of a way?”
Looking at General Xiao's expectant expression, and the fact that he used the word "beg" was indeed quite heavy for Song Yan'er!
Song Yan'er fell silent for a moment. To be honest, she had thought about whether she should make some antipyretics and antibiotics!
However, reason stopped her, because this was something that shouldn't exist in this era at all. Since Song Yan'er and the old lady could time travel, there must be others. What if they were bad people? Then she might be treated as a monster. So Song Yan'er didn't want to take that risk before!
However, seeing how General Xiao was so concerned for the soldiers, Song Yan'er felt a little soft-hearted!
Song Yan'er thought about it seriously for a moment, then decided against it. Those dangers were things that might not happen in the future, and besides, she was making a contribution!
Even if bad people want to harm me, God wouldn't allow it!
Moreover, since the old lady gave Tongrentang to me, I would be letting her down if I didn't do something sensational!
So after two minutes of consideration, Song Yan'er agreed to General Xiao's request!
It's clear that General Xiao genuinely cares about the soldiers, so he was overjoyed to hear that Song Yan'er had agreed!
Song Yan'er readily agreed, but the subsequent events gave her a real headache. Fortunately, the Emperor Emeritus spoke up, saying that he could help find a factory and that this was a good thing for the country and its people, so he could give her a piece of land for free to build a factory!
So Song Yan'er focused on how to turn the pharmaceutical manufacturing process into an assembly line so that mass production could be achieved!
On this day, the Emperor Emeritus said that the pharmaceutical factory had been built according to Song Yan'er's blueprints and asked Song Yan'er to go and inspect it!
Song Yan'er was surprised by the Emperor Emeritus's speed, because her blueprints had only been out for two days!
Moreover, the glass container that was supposed to be manufactured by humans hasn't even been successfully made yet!
Because Song Yan'er had high standards, she was not satisfied with the batch that had already been made, so she asked them to make another batch!
Fortunately, because no one knew how to make glass cabinets for the Drunken Beauty, Song Yan'er gave Xiao Yang the recipe for making glass. Unexpectedly, the glass shop was preserved and even opened in the capital!
Therefore, the glass shop is now one of Song Yan'er's more profitable businesses!
Since it was her own shop, Song Yan'er didn't need to worry about anything else; she only needed to check whether the inspection was up to standard!
However, since the factory building was completed first, Song Yan'er decided to go and take a look at it!
So I followed the old lady and the retired emperor in a carriage to the factory!
As soon as she arrived at the factory gate, Song Yan'er felt very satisfied!
The entire pharmaceutical factory was framed with camphor wood. The freshly planed camphor wood emitted a unique fragrance under the sunlight, a fragrance that Song Yan'er loved! So, when she went inside the factory, Song Yan'er looked around with great satisfaction!
The pharmaceutical factory occupies five acres of land and consists of two warehouses and two production workshops, which are interconnected! However, the warehouse section is noticeably higher than the production workshops!
It looks like a second floor has been partitioned off!
Of course, this was also Song Yan'er's request, since it would allow her to put more things in!
The custom-made medicine shelves are ready, and they're all lined up in a row!
Hmm, it's starting to look like a pharmaceutical factory!
The custom-made glass workbench for the production workshop hasn't arrived yet; it will probably be delivered along with the glass containers when it arrives!
Song Yan'er and her two companions quickly toured the pharmaceutical factory, and overall Song Yan'er was quite satisfied!
Once their production line is ready and the glass containers are manufactured, the initial pharmaceutical factory can begin operations!
"Yan'er, you're amazing! I bet everyone will be grateful to your ancestors for eight generations from now on!"
Looking at Song Yan'er in front of her, the old lady truly felt that she hadn't done anything of value since she traveled back to ancient times!
Looking at Song Yan'er, her achievement of improving grain varieties alone is enough to be remembered for thousands of years!
If Song Yan'er knew that the old lady was putting her on such a high pedestal, she definitely wouldn't be able to stand it! After all, she herself felt that these were just things she did casually!
