I have the best bloodline

Faced with Grand Tutor Jin's complaints, Su Yan had no intention of responding. The old dragon's words clearly implied dissatisfaction with his frequent absences, and Su Yan had no good way to respond to that. He quickly changed the subject:

"The first thing I did upon returning from the Moon Rabbit Clan's territory was to hand over my storage ring and also bring you some rare fragrant tea from the Eastern Continent."

The Xia Dynasty had a strong tea culture, as it was originally a major tea-producing country. Even a notorious bandit like Xiaoyi, who had lived in Xia Dynasty for a long time, knew how to drink tea and appreciate its flavors, and could even talk about Xia Dynasty's tea culture.

Su Yan dared not mention how precious her fragrant tea was in front of the dean; her main purpose was to offer it as a tribute.

"Oh?"

Grand Tutor Jin took the storage ring from Su Yan, then casually picked up the tea Su Yan had offered as a gift. He glanced at the name of the tea shop engraved on the can, weighed it in his hand for a moment, and said with a smile, "It's quite a nice flower tea, not bad."

The appeal of flower tea lies in its freshness and aroma; aging it diminishes its flavor. Flower tea is warm in nature and rich in fragrance, making it suitable for dispelling accumulated cold during winter and helping the body rejuvenate.

Although the tea garden wasn't high-end, it was an old tea shop in the demon realm, so the craftsmanship was guaranteed. Su Yan's choice of it as a gift for the festival showed his thoughtfulness.

"By the way, Dean, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you."

Seeing that the topic had been veered off course, Su Yan changed the subject again and said, "It's like this, we've just taken over the administration of Flower City and aren't very familiar with it yet. In the past, the Flower region mainly focused on sugarcane and fruits and vegetables, but now the Flower region has relinquished its autonomy and officially merged into the Xia Yu territory."

"Therefore, our county officials increased the amount of sugarcane planted and introduced beet seeds during the spring plowing season. They planned to reserve a portion of the land for self-production and sales, and most of the land was intended to be used to produce beet sugar and sugarcane sugar. Subsequently, they gradually transitioned to beet sugar production on a large scale."

As Su Yan recounted his story, Grand Tutor Jin narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Su Yan.

This little fox really makes the most of everything.

Sugarcane sugar and beet sugar are different. Sugarcane has a lower sugar content and is quite labor-intensive to grow, and pest control is also a hassle. But beets are different. Beet sugar has a high sugar content and is relatively easy to grow. However, after one round of beet planting, the soil fertility will decrease significantly, and the sugar content of beets planted in the second year will not be as high as that produced in the first year.

Moreover, growing sugar beets requires large-scale irrigation.

The soil in flower-growing regions does not suffer from a decline in fertility due to the added benefits of abundant water resources in the south, making large-scale sugar beet cultivation a very good idea.

It can be said that all favorable factors have been taken into account, and some jobs can also be arranged for refugees. Next year, the sugar production in the flower region will increase explosively.

"So, I was just saying, Dean, could you perhaps introduce me to Lord Chi Wang? The flower region is experiencing a sugar production boom next year and we need to find a place to sell our produce," Su Yan said, posing a question to Grand Tutor Jin.

Su Yan felt that she had phrased it rather tactfully, but she had fully expressed her thoughts.

But to Grand Tutor Jin, these words sounded like something out of Princess Wuxi; Su Yan's way of doing things really did have that Princess Wuxi vibe.

It's a feeling of wanting everything, wanting more, and wanting more flavor.

Princess Wuxi's scent was so strong that Grand Tutor Jin couldn't help but subconsciously wave his hand to dispel it, and he recalled how Princess Wuxi organized the militia and government troops to conquer Bi County when she participated in the academy's spring outing, and how she used the combined forces of the two counties and the Qingwang Army to conquer a small country.

They perfectly embodied the brutality of "borrowing," showing absolutely no gentleness or refinement, openly robbing others.

Because of Princess Wuxi, the internal affairs of the five neighboring counties were thrown into chaos, and each county organized its army to wage war against foreign powers. As a result, all the civil officials there were suppressed by the arrogant military officials.

It was precisely because of Princess Wuxi's barbaric actions that the academy's spring outing trip was reduced from a year-long trip to only about half a year.

After wreaking havoc in Qingwang Territory, Princess Wuxi simply finished her studies and went home, leaving behind a bunch of conquered lands and people that no cultivators were there to govern.

The Azure King was also quite troubled by this, never expecting that rescuing the emperor would lead to a war, and that his territory would end up with the shape of a male beast.

As soon as Su Yan opened her mouth, Grand Tutor Jin sensed the barbaric and rude aura of Princess Wuxi.

"An introduction isn't a problem; you can just go and talk to the Red King directly. But how can you be sure that the Red King will give you any benefits? These things originally belonged to the Red King."

"Anyway, I'll stay here for six months, and afterwards all the industries that have been established will be given to the Red King."

Su Yan answered with a completely matter-of-fact expression.

Six months is only enough time to do some basic things. Su Yan just wants those industries to do accounting so that the data looks good when he graduates. What does the rest have to do with him? You can't expect a fox that has just been weaned to build a business guild, can you?

Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Jin remained silent, discerning Su Yan's inner thoughts. He picked up the bell hammer used for striking the chime bells from the table and weighed it in his hand:

"What's next? Is there no follow-up plan at all? For example, any plans for the future development of the sugar industry?"

Su Yan was able to leave cleanly, but the mess he left behind would need to be cleaned up.

The Red King's approach was clearly to start from scratch and implement his occupation using his own business logic. But wouldn't Su Yan's previous investment of spirit stones be wasted? This was a complete mess, and since no one was going to deal with it, it naturally fell on the shoulders of Grand Tutor Jin, who organized the academy's spring outing.

Last time, it took Grand Tutor Jin and Prince Qing nearly three years to clean up the mess left by Princess Wuxi.

If Su Yanruo can't give a proper answer, the bell hammers used to strike the chime bells might hit him on the head.

………………

Just as Su Yan and Grand Tutor Jin were drinking tea, with the Grand Tutor urging Su Yan to write a report on future plans.

Sister Xi'er and Princess Wuxi also came from the Red King's territory to Princess Wuxi's fiefdom of Jingshan.

A verdant mountain rises abruptly from the ground, and Jingshan City is built on the mountain's terraces, layer upon layer, until it reaches the mountaintop that was leveled by cultivators fighting.

The more one looks at the majestic and magnificent Jingshan City, the more one feels a terrifying sense of oppression from the towering giant.

"Tsk, I stepped in mud again."

Princess Wuxi took a step, and her white shoes with green embroidery were immediately covered in mud. She looked at the Jingshan soldiers beside her who were responsible for guarding the teleportation array:

"Didn't I give the order that the city must be kept clean? How many years has this layer of mud and dust accumulated on the city's ground?"

The soldiers of Jingshan City said with embarrassed expressions:

"Reporting to Princess Wuxi, the city is currently undergoing morning, noon, and evening cleaning. This layer of mud was actually scattered half an hour ago when the mountain was being cleared. In another half an hour, it will be time for the evening cleaning."

"Now! Immediately! Arrange for someone!" Princess Wuxi shouted directly.

Although cultivators are physically strong, long-term inhalation of dust can still cause irreversible damage to the organs of non-earth-element cultivators.

Those lesions are not simple pneumoconiosis, but rather the petrification and weathering of internal organs. When these symptoms are not manifest, the person is no different from an ordinary person, but once they occur, there is no cure and the person can only eke out a living and wait for death.

Princess Wuxi had already ordered that the soldiers of Jingshan City must find water cultivators to continuously sprinkle water during the mountain-opening and earth-digging projects to suppress the dust containing spiritual energy that was scattered everywhere.

However, some mine owners found it troublesome, believing that sprinkling water from the sky would cause rainwater to flow into the mining pits, delaying the project, so they sprinkled very little water. As a result, the small amount of water mixed with dust caused mud to accumulate on the ground in the lower parts of the city, rather than being washed away by the heavy rain.

Therefore, upon arriving at her fiefdom and seeing the mud on the ground, Princess Wuxi immediately flew into a rage.

You bastards! You're just going through the motions again. I'll be issuing you all tickets and fining you to death in a minute!

Chapter 325 Third Master

Where are my two old men?

Inside the Jingshan City government office, after issuing fines to mine owners for illegal construction and ordering them to suspend operations for three days to attend safety training at the government office, Princess Wuxi looked at the county magistrate standing to the side with a fawning expression.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the Third Master is currently recuperating at the top manor, while the Young Master seems to have gone off to search for some rare and exotic plants."

The magistrate answered the princess with a fawning expression, completely ignoring the fine she issued. Jingshan District is located northwest of Yu the Great, a fertile land rich in gold, silver and jade that Emperor Wusheng personally conquered.

All the land belongs to the royal family. The mine owners in Jingshan are just guys who have obtained mining rights, not the real landowners. Even if Princess Wuxi fines them into bankruptcy, nothing will happen.

Those guys with a little bit of wealth who like to take risks to earn spirit stones won't cause any trouble.

But the Princess Wuxi in front of us is the real master. All the land in Jingshan belongs to the princess. If we don't serve this princess well, it will be more terrible than the sky falling down.

"Row!"

Upon learning that her grandfather was inside Jingshan City, rather than inside the mines of Jingshan, the princess breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Arrange for a carriage to go to the manor."

Although the Third Prince doesn't concern himself with court affairs, the Xia Yu Dynasty involves much more than just those matters. If the Third Prince isn't at Jingshan Manor but instead goes to the mines or other places, Princess Wuxi's trip will essentially be in vain, as she has no idea when her grandfather will return to Jingshan Manor.

Therefore, Princess Wuxi was clearly relieved when she learned that the Third Prince was at home.

Although the journey to the top of Jingshan Mountain is not far, it still takes a little time due to the rugged terrain. The van travels along the mountain road and takes a wooden plant elevator to reach the manor.

Apart from the Princess's Manor, there are no other buildings on the summit of Jingshan Mountain. Inside, wisps of white mist drift through the botanical garden and forest, creating a dreamlike, hazy atmosphere.

The night view from the top of Jingshan Hill is not beautiful. However, when the sun shines directly at noon, the misty water vapor will refract colorful light and shadow, making the Wuxi Princess Manor look like a luxurious and beautiful fairyland.

Princess Wuxi glanced at the road without showing any interest, stepped down from the carriage, and walked straight into the manor. She showed no intention of stopping to admire the carefully maintained greenery along the way, and said to her servants:

"Go and inform the Third Master that I have arrived. Go to the tea room and wait for him."

"Yes!"

The servants didn't say much. After bowing to the princess and taking their leave, they went to the hot spring to find the Third Prince and inform him that Princess Wuxi had arrived.

"Okay, I understand."

Before the servants even stepped into the hot spring pool, the Third Prince, who was bathing inside, had already dressed and came to the entrance of the pool. He waved to the servants, indicating that he knew that his granddaughter had come to Jingshan to visit the elderly living alone.

The Third Prince, with a bright smile on his face as delicate as white jade, slowly straightened his sleeves and walked toward the tea room that Princess Wuxi had mentioned.

He was quite interested in Princess Wuxi's visit.

That granddaughter had an extremely awkward personality and was very strong-willed. When nothing was wrong, she would act as if she had lost her parents at a young age and never mentioned them. It seemed like more than ten years ago that Princess Wuxi last came to Jingshan to look for her.

That time it seemed to be her coming-of-age ceremony. Her parents were absent and came to complain. After that, Princess Wuxi never came to Jingshan again. She just stayed in Xia Yu's place every year to give some suggestions on the management of Jingshan.

"Little Fox"

Amidst the thin mist and thick clouds outside the teahouse, a somewhat slender figure gradually emerged. His light clothing was slightly visible due to the steam from the hot spring. Under the lamplight, the Third Prince slowly walked into the teahouse, his long hair hanging down, and smiled as he spoke to Princess Wuxi:

"Did something bother you that made you travel all this way to Grandpa's to complain?"

Although the Third Prince spoke in an old-fashioned manner, he looked no older than twenty-four, with a fair and rosy complexion that was very well-maintained. He had absolutely no resemblance to a rough man.

Simply gazing at a person's back from afar can even give the illusion that one has encountered a beautiful woman.

Your life remains so refined.

When Princess Wuxi saw the Third Prince enter, her eyes and brows twitched slightly as she offered a flattering compliment.

"Hey--"

The Third Prince raised his hand to stop Princess Wuxi from speaking, sat down at the head of the tea table, and said, "I just inherited my mother's skin type. You know how busy Grandpa's life is. He only has some rest time when he takes the pets out for walks."

Princess Wuxi's seemingly flattering words were actually a mockery of the Third Prince, who was so idle that he had time to fuss over nothing, dressing himself up so exquisitely but not wanting to return to Xia Yu City to visit his granddaughter.

The Third Prince knew that Princess Wuxi harbored resentment, but he was genuinely busy with important matters.

Now I have time to go back to Xia Yu to see Wu Xi, but Wu Xi might not like me now, right?

"Tell me, what do you want with your grandfather? You wouldn't be calling me if there wasn't something important," the Third Prince said, gently shaking his head.

"As long as it's not about rebelling against Xia Yu, I can still say a few words about other things."

"I'm getting married," Princess Wuxi said with a serious expression.

"."

The Third Prince froze as he picked up the teapot, then looked up at Princess Wuxi and slowly began to speak:

"Let's talk about why your grandfather's skin is so fair and smooth, and how he takes care of it."
