With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

"Hmm." Huo Jing nodded, looking at the city wall that was already taking shape. "There definitely needs to be a wide enough passageway above the city wall."

A walled city with a circumference of eight li (approximately 4 kilometers) needs passageways for soldiers to patrol back and forth in order to protect the inner city.

"Wuwu, this is such a huge project, and you haven't used a single stone. Do you have enough steel bars and cement?"

"If it's just the inner city, it's barely enough! But after the New Year, once we finish demolishing the old city walls, we'll have to build both the inner and outer city walls together, and then it won't be enough!"

"But I've already come up with a plan: to build a cement factory and a steel bar factory. Once our castle is completed, the factories will also benefit the people," Nangong Wu said.

Huo Jing was taken aback. "You can really produce such high-quality steel bars and cement?"

During this time, he lived in his daughter's space and saw the materials used to make steel bars and cement. From the raw materials used to the production process, it was extremely complicated. This person here simply couldn't do it. Everything had to be done by his daughter herself. It would take several months to teach the people around her.

From a process perspective, making steel bars is relatively simple; the techniques for cement firing and chemical control only exist in the timeline my daughter lived in.

Because steel bars require more complex equipment and electricity, and the rolling of steel bars is inherently difficult, such equipment is necessary.

"Wuwu, you understand formulas and chemistry. Although the cement production process is a bit complicated, it can be done without electricity, so we can make it."

"Father, we need electricity to manufacture steel bars and cement, otherwise we can't produce steel bars and cement that meet the strength standards. We can't build a power station on the spot, but we can use solar power."

Nangong Wu took out a document from her spatial storage. "Father, please take a look at this document. It's about the principles of solar power generation."

"Solar power generation?" Huo Jing asked in confusion as he took the materials.

"It's 'thermo-optical technology,' which turns light into heat and then into electricity. You can take a look when you have time," Nangong Wu explained to him.

"Alright, I'll take good care of it and help you out when the time comes." Huo Jing felt sorry for his daughter who was always busy and decided to help her.

If you have something to do, go ahead and do it.

"Okay, then I'll head back first." Nangong Wu glanced at the three children; Bei Chenyan and Li Ming were having a great time playing with them.

She turned and went back to her room, wanting to check the supplies in her spatial storage.

In the afternoon, the entire city of Runan became lively.

Because Nangong Wu issued a notice in the name of the Prince of Zhenyuan, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and a grand banquet will be held for everyone in the city. She even listed the number of dishes, which were very sumptuous.

The people were thrilled to hear this and brought out whatever they could find at home. Those who knew how to cook helped chop vegetables, while those who didn't helped wash them. Everyone was busy and bustling about, and the atmosphere of the New Year was finally there.

Everyone worked for more than two hours, and the meal was ready by 5 PM.

For ordinary people, they cook and arrange their own banquets.

On the north side of the city gate, the original staff of the Prince's Palace and the logistics personnel of the garrison were cooking.

Nangong Wu took out all the tables and chairs in the space, including folding tables, solid wood tables, coffee tables, and tables and chairs that the soldiers had made themselves.

More than 6,000 people and more than 600 tables were set up in one area.

Twelve dishes were laid out, including ten meat dishes, one cold lotus root salad, and a plate of fried peanuts to accompany drinks.

The hot pot is set out, with chopped red and white radish pieces, as well as various washed green vegetables, all placed in a large basket. They are all freshly picked from the field and are for the hot pot. There are also thinly sliced ​​raw meat and cut fish pieces. You can take as much as you want, as you want.

There are also cases of fine wine.

Some were from the space, and some were brought from the Prince's Palace.

"Princess, is it alright if everyone is seated and no one is on guard?" Li Zhan was still uneasy.

Assassins are everywhere, and if they see no one guarding them, they will seize the opportunity to cause trouble.

"Don't worry, I've made all the arrangements. You can relax, eat your meal, and have a good New Year," Nangong Wu said.

She entrusted the matter of safety to Eileen.

Apart from the north gate, which was already half demolished, the area within a five-mile radius was flat land. Apart from piles of sand, steel bars, and cement, there were no obstacles, making it difficult for assassins to get close.

Eileen stood on that half-high city wall, using her binoculars to monitor everything around her. If any strangers approached, she could scan them with her eyes and see what they were carrying.

Li Zhan was relieved to hear that everything had been arranged.

He knew that the princess would not do anything without certainty.

At the main table, Huo Jing picked up his wine glass, stood up, and said, "Everyone has worked hard last year. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. With the new year comes a new beginning. I would like to toast everyone."

Everyone stood up when they heard him speak.

"Honoring Your Highness! Happy New Year!"

The soldiers raised their glasses and cheered.

"Long live the Prince!"

After a long while, the deafening noise finally stopped.

"Sit down and eat." Huo Jing knew that if he spoke again, everyone would keep calling him "Your Majesty."

Seeing him sit down, everyone else followed suit.

At the main table, besides their family, there were also Qiao Xiangqing; Zhou Du, the former military commander of Runan City and General Huaiyuan; Duan Chengye, the general in charge of suppressing the Wude; Cao Bin, the garrison commander of Zhaoxin; Li Zhan and Su Siyan, a total of thirteen people, adults and children.

The banquet began, and everyone ate and drank to their heart's content.

Bei Chenyan held Nangong Wu's hand under the table. "Wuwu, believe that we can definitely create a peaceful and prosperous world. I will stand by your side and never leave you."

Nangong Wu glanced at him. "Don't forget, you're mine now!"

"Yes." Bei Chenyan smiled and tightened his grip on her hand.

An hour passed, and it became completely dark.

"Mother, when are we going to set off fireworks?" Nangong Xi only remembered the fireworks.

"Then let them go." Nangong Wu glanced at Li Zhan. "Go and let them go! Eat after you're done."

"Yes."

Li Zhan and Su Siyan both stood up.

The two then gathered a few more people and headed towards the fireworks display area.

A moment later, the first cluster of fireworks exploded in the sky, like a colorful shooting star, or a giant multicolored chrysanthemum.

The sudden explosion of fireworks made everyone at the table stand up and look up at the sky.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Fireworks rose into the sky, blooming in a dazzling display of colors, turning the entire night sky red.

"Daddy, look, fireworks!" Nangong Xi pointed to the sky.

"Hmm, is it pretty?" Bei Chenyan looked at his daughter's smiling face and smiled too.

"It looks great!" Nangong Xi clapped her hands with joy.

"Mother, I want to set off a skyrocket later." Nangong Jue held Nangong Wu's hand.

He remembered that last year during the New Year, his mother and father helped them set off a lot of firecrackers.
