After removing Old Madam Lin’s coat, Su Binglan began to perform acupuncture. She even used her spirit qi acupuncture method so that the older woman would quickly recover.

Su Binglan discreetly took a bottle of medicine from her pocket dimension after the acupuncture. Then, she said, “Your mother will be asleep for a while. Ensure she takes this medicine three times a day. She’ll be better in no time. “However, you must allow her to recuperate after she recovers. You must also reassure her and rejuvenate her spirit. We don’t want her to be depressed. Tell your son to spend more time with her and tell her that you need her.”

Lin Yishi listened to Su Binglan’s instructions carefully. He said, “Thank you, Your Highness.”

He would have knelt if Ji Xingye did not stop him again.

When the trio returned to the living room, Su Binglan and Ji Xingye drank some water before Su Binglan asked, “Yishi, your wife is at the mountain gathering firewood, correct?”

Lin Yishi sighed and said, ‘Yes, Your Highness. She has to do these things all because of my injury.”

He blamed himself and felt sad that his wife had to work so hard. Still, he could do nothing much to help. Lin Yishi could only help feed the chickens and cook.

Fortunately, his wife was virtuous and never complained, while his son was obedient.

Su Binglan said, “You sacrificed much for the people, Yishi. They will always remember what you did for them.”

Suddenly, she thought of giving him a medal of honor. She wanted those who had greatly contributed to the country to have this medal, which signified one’s sacrifices.

She would also build a memorial hall for the commoners to visit and learn about the soldiers’ dedication to the country. However, Su Binglan had other things to do for now and would plan a memorial hall later.

She went straight to the point, saying, “I’m building a paper mill and printing factory in Su Teng Village. I want to hire family members of the soldiers who have sacrificed their lives on the battlefield.

“My employees will have a free staff dormitory to live in and a cafeteria to eat from. I will also subsidize the food, so it’ll cost less. You will receive a monthly salary of a hundred and eighty copper and a commission bonus.

“Our paper sales will be excellent, so your bonus should be substantial. I give the employees in my other shops one to two silver a month as bonuses. Your working hours will be five days, and then you will have two rest days. You’ll work for three and a half hours daily.

“l visited you today to ask for your opinions on this matter. Don’t worry. You can speak your mind if you have doubts.”

Su Binglan’s words resembled a thunderclap to Lin Yishi. He was so shocked and excited that his hands trembled as he looked at Su Binglan.

‘Did I mishear Her Highness?! It’s too good to be true. The salary is so high, yet I only need to work for three and a half hours for five days?’

Lin Yishi would not have believed it if someone else were to tell him this. He knew people would fight to have such an excellent job opportunity.

Lin Yishi pinched himself. He could not help but stutter, “I-Is…that true, Your Highness?”

‘If we had two silver a month, it would be more than what we typically harvest in a year. My family can eat their fill by relying on my basic salary, and I can save my bonuses for them.’

Su Binglan also said that the employees could eat in a cafeteria at subsidized prices.

Su Binglan added, “Children can also attend Blue Mountain Academy for free.” Although Lan Ruobing had established the renowned school, Su Binglan and her brother ran it. Every student could attend Blue Mountain Academy for free if Lan Ruozhu deemed it so.

Lin Yishi became teary-eyed as a tear rolled down his cheek. He never expected such treatment just because he was once a soldier. Indeed, Lan Ruozhu had never forgotten about his soldiers.

Su Binglan’s generosity even moved Ji Xingye. He knew the princess possessed a benevolent and righteous heart.

If news of this spread, many more would want to join the army, even if Lan Ruozhu did not recruit more men. After all, those who served the country would receive such generous treatment, and their families would ultimately have better lives.

Su Binglan said smilingly, “It’s true, Yishi. Everything I’ve mentioned already exists in Su Teng Village. That’s where I’m from. You’ll see it for yourself once you’re there.

“If you have any thoughts, don’t hesitate to mention them to me. Your family can follow you, too. I’ll arrange a large dormitory for you and them to make it more convenient.”

Su Binglan had asked Su Xueye to build a few more residences for her employees. Therefore, she had enough accommodations for the soldiers to live in.

“You can choose to live in Su Teng Village or stay here. I’ll also be building a beverage factory and ironware factory, after all. Any other factories I build later will depend on the local conditions.”

If Su Binglan reclaimed the wastelands here, the soldiers could start planting crops for food. When there was more grain here, she could build a flour mill. The soldiers could put some into the granary and sell the rest.

Lin Yishi was so excited that he immediately wanted to agree. Still, he muttered, “I’ll wait for my wife to return and discuss it with her first.”

Su Binglan smiled, saying, “It’s only right for you to do that.”

Lin Yishi was surprised that she was so good-tempered, gentle, and easy to talk to.

Su Binglan realized he respected women and soon asked about his family’s situation. Lin Yishi told her that they only ate two meals a day. However, it was inconsistent because of the low yield of the land.

Moreover, his injury hindered the family’s well-being. After all, his wife could not do everything alone. Also, Old Madam Lin was sick, and he had to spend some money on her medical bills.

Su Binglan sighed. “We have consultation places in Su Teng Village, and the medicine there is much more affordable. It’s also convenient to buy daily necessities there.’

She told Lin Yishi about Su Teng Village’s development. The more he listened, the more excited he became. He wanted to visit the village immediately.

People from less fortunate families dared not get sick Even those with headaches and fever would refuse to visit doctors because medicine was too costly.

Lin Yishi did not expect Su Teng Village to offer free medical consultations. Even Ji Xingye was stunned and in disbelief.

‘Is Su Teng Village that advanced? I want to visit and take a look. If I weren’t a general, I’d want to live there for a while. Her Highness’s description of her village makes it sound like a beautiful place.

‘That’s right! Prince Ruozhu has visited Su Teng Village previously. No wonder he was hesitant to come back here. It seems Su Teng Village is as Her Highness says.’

It was already noon before the group realized it. Lin Yishi looked at the sky outside and said, “Your Highness, General Xingye, you can eat here if you don’t mind.’

Since it was already noon, he would feel bad if he did not offer lunch to Su Binglan and Ji Xingye. Even so, the family did not have much to cook with at home, so Lin Yishi felt embarrassed..
