This Grew Faster Than Radishes

The Great Qi took a sip and said, "Not bad, does your family have everything?"

Zhichun smiled and said, "Of course, you can buy anything as long as you can afford it."

The Great Qi looked at Zhichun and said, "Are you just bragging?"

Zhichun smiled faintly and said, "Whether it's bragging or not, we'll find out by trying."

The Great Qi asked, "Then I need a master protector. Do you have one?"

Zhichun took out a price list and said, "Here's the price list. Take a look and see what you like."

The Great Qi looked at them and said, "I want two level nine experts, the kind you can hire on a monthly basis."

A level nine master is far too expensive, costing 30,000 taels a day, but only 100,000 taels a month.

Zhichun smiled and said, "No problem, a level nine expert will definitely protect your safety throughout the entire process and will absolutely not let you get hurt in any way."

The Great Qi repeatedly asked, "Are they very powerful? Did they make it onto the Earth Ranking?"

Zhichun said, "They are all experts who could be ranked on the Earth Ranking Earth Ranking, probably around 80th, but they have never actually made it onto the Earth Ranking."

The Great Qi nodded, and Zhichun didn't ask any more questions. She took the money and left.

Zhichun reported this matter to Zhou Wanwan, Zhou Wanwan said, "It seems the Crown Prince's situation is not good!"

Zhichun looked up at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Master, what do you mean?"

Zhou Wanwan said calmly:

"I used to think he just liked ordering takeout, but now I think someone in the Imperial Kitchen poisoned him."

Or perhaps someone around him poisoned him.

"Oh? Is it that serious?"

"Of course, the infighting among these princes and crown princes is none of our concern. Our goal is to make money." She doesn't care about the Great Xia royal family, let alone the Great Qi royal family.

For her, making money is the most important thing.

She wants to build many cities, which requires a lot of money.

Her eight cities are only on the most basic level now; the people can't even be said to be able to eat their fill.

These people living on the border have suffered for so many years; things can't possibly get much better all at once.

Right now, we still rely on Zhou Wanwan to procure food from various places.

This is not a long-term solution. If we want to develop these cities, the first thing we need to do is to ensure that the people have something to do.

Relying solely on agriculture is definitely not enough, which is why Zhou Wanwan thought of the tourism industry.

A region's economy can only develop when its tourism industry flourishes.

Zhichun said, "Our escort agency's business has been getting better and better lately."

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said:

"That's for sure. Our security escort agency has a good reputation and provides excellent service."

Although the price is a bit higher, at least I won't rip them off!

The manager of the escort agency walked in, wiping the sweat from his brow, and said, "Master, our agency needs a lot of manpower right now. What do you think we should do?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at it and said:

"What we have plenty of is manpower; I'll have them come over tonight."

We have thousands of experts who are no less skilled than those on the Earth Ranking, what are we afraid of?

Since the Old Scholar Tree Old Ancestor upgraded, they have been able to improve the cultivation levels of these people. With the assistance of wild ginseng, the effect will be even more obvious.

The wild ginseng cultivated by Zhou Wanwan has amazing effects.

The manager of the Hundred Grasses Hall rushed in and said:

"Miss, our wild ginseng has been bought up in large quantities."

Today someone ordered 100 wild ginseng roots, and yesterday they ordered more than 1,000.

A few days ago, someone also placed an order for a large quantity of wild ginseng.

I'm worried that we won't have enough wild ginseng at home, since they're all over a hundred years old.

Zhou Wanwan said calmly, "I understand."

The shopkeeper said:

"They must know that our wild ginseng contains some special components."

So now that everyone's rushing to order, should we raise the price?

Zhou Wanwan waved her hand and said, "No need, just stick to the original price, I think a thousand taels per piece is about right."

The key issue is that Zhou Wanwan's family has an excessive amount of ginseng.

They're almost overflowing! It only took them a little over a year to harvest these century-old ginseng roots—who would believe it?

It grows faster than a radish.

Others find ginseng rare, but she thinks it takes up too much space and she's even considering getting rid of it.

The ginseng that was planted recently has already grown to be over ten years old.

Lingbao, standing to the side, said, "Wanwan, isn't my Xuxu more powerful?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "That's really impressive. All those He Shou Wu, Polygonatum sibiricum, and Ganoderma lucidum can be sold, and they're all quite old."

Zhou Wanwan didn't understand why the seeds of Lingbao, Grandpa He Shou Wu, Sister Huang Jing, and Brother Lingzhi were so effective.

Grandpa He Shou Wu smiled and said, "You don't understand why our seeds grow so fast, do you?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded, Grandpa He Shou Wu said, "That's because your spiritual energy is too abundant. Haven't you noticed that our grains and sweet potatoes are ripening very quickly these days?"

Zhou Wanwan said:

"I feel the same way; those rice and wheat plants really do grow incredibly fast."

It used to take several months, but now it only takes a little over two months to be able to eat it.

Grandpa He Shou Wu said:

"Actually, I've never known where your spiritual power comes from."

However, this spiritual energy is like a tonic for us plants, with extremely good effects.

Moreover, it's the kind of product that gets stronger the more you supplement it.

Zhou Wanwan suddenly realized what was going on, just as she heard Cheng Chao walk in and say:

"The people of the Great Qi Kingdom are not giving up. They have already surrounded our city and said that if they see us leaving the city, they will kill us without mercy."

What should we do now?

Zhou Wanwan said, "Just do what you need to do, why think so much? We don't lack food right now."

Cheng Chao frowned and said, "But I'm worried that the people won't have enough to eat."

Zhou Wanwan rolled her eyes and said, "Don't worry about that. We should have faith in our own abilities."

Zhou Wanwan looked at the Old Scholar Tree and asked, "How's the digging of those burrows by the saxaul trees going?"

The Old Scholar Tree said:

"It was already dug up a long time ago! Didn't I tell you?"

I might have forgotten, but a lot of friends dug together; we've been digging for almost half a month."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "That's good! Let's go take a look now!"

Zhou Wanwan followed the Old Scholar Tree to an intersection. The Old Scholar Tree said:

There are two entrances to this cave.

One is in your courtyard, and the other is in a village outside the city.

I'll go in and take a look too.

Zhou Wanwan's lips twitched as she said, "With your body, I'm afraid you can't fit in, right?"

The Old Scholar Tree chuckled and said, "I have my own way."

Zhou Wanwan walked to the back of the yard, pressed a switch on the Old Scholar Tree, and a huge hole appeared in front of her.

Then I saw a series of steps spiraling down, and these steps were all made of white marble.

Zhou Wanwan couldn't help but say, "White marble steps, isn't that too extravagant? It must have cost a lot of money!"
