Chapter 514: One of the Six Great Families

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lan Ruozhu was modest when he considered the prefecture remote, but in reality, it was desolate. The land was barren and not fertile enough to plant crops.

Even if one were to plant crops, the yield would be low, even though one worked all year. Lan Ruozhu wanted the prefecture to develop. He once wanted to visit its people in search of farming experts to teach more people to farm.

However, he was weak and could not leave. There were many things he could not do. Fortunately, he could rely on his Shadow Guards to do some tasks. The more he listened to his sister talk about Tenghe Town’s development, the more excited he became.

“Sister, can we develop the prefecture like this? We must focus on farming, even if our yield isn’t enough, right?” Lan Ruozhu knew he had to focus on crops for food.

Su Binglan could guess her brothers thoughts. She said smilingly, “Don’t worry, Brother. I have plenty of high-yield seeds here. I will distribute them to the prefecture’s people during spring. Their grain production will increase several times after growing these seeds.”

Lan Ruozhu’s body trembled when he heard that. He even suspected he had misheard. “Sister, you mean high m yield seeds exist?”

‘Did she learn about agriculture when her identity changed? Right, I received information about Binglan’s family generating high yields. Also, she told everyone in the village to plant rapeseeds, saying one acre of land would yield more than enough oil compared to peanuts.

‘So, she does know about agriculture.’ He felt his reincarnated sister was much more intelligent than before.

Su Binglan nodded. “That’s right. Those rapeseeds have high yields. Moreover, it’s much hardier than peanuts, so we can plant them in many soil types.”

She knew the prefecture’s land differed from the capital and other provinces. Some food crops were challenging to grow, too. However, the potatoes and sweet potatoes in her pocket dimension were also high-yield crops.

In addition to her pocket dimension’s improvements and transformation, the production of these things would double. When that time came, the entire prefecture would thrive. Even the wheat from her pocket dimension would have twice the yield.

Lan Ruozhu could never believe others’ words but always trusted his sister.

Su Binglan added, “People can eat rapeseeds as vegetables or use them for oil extraction. One acre of rapeseeds can produce more oil than one acre of peanuts.”

She knew what her brother was concerned about, so he told him everything he needed to know. She only wanted her family to become rich in the past. Still, after regaining her memories and learning her true identity, she also wanted to help Lan Ruozhu develop the prefecture.

When the time came, its people would have enough food, weapons, and equipment to fend for themselves. Then they would recruit and train soldiers to strengthen Lan Ruozhu!s iron cavalry. That way, the opposing forces would not dare attack him again.

Su Binglan had already begun rapidly planning many things.

Lan Ruozhu was ecstatic and was no longer interested in eating. He only listened to his sister’s explanations attentively. Then he asked, “You know about farming now, Sister?”

He had read many books on farming but could not find a seed that could suddenly increase yield. However, he guessed his sister had a unique ability and could find seeds others could not. After all, he had never heard of rapeseeds.

Su Binglan nodded. “Yeah, I know a little.”

“That’s great.” Lan Ruozhu was thrilled but soon regained his rationality. “But I can’t let you tire yourself out like this. I’ll get someone to help arrange these tasks.’

Su Binglan knew he was worried about her. She shook her head and said, “It’s okay, Brother. I can handle it.”

She was delighted to be able to help her brother now. Moreover, she relied on Lan Ruozhu for survival while living as Lan Ruobing.

Su Binglan seemed highly relaxed when facing Lan Ruozhu and was willing to talk more. Lan Ruozhu listened as she spoke. He was so engrossed in listening that he forgot to eat. However, Su Binglan reminded him to continue eating.

Doctor Shen returned as the siblings talked. Shen Mohen was busy tending to the wounded in the county during the day. Some situations were more severe than others.

He had been swamped since coming to the county. There were a few people the county’s doctors could not save, but Shen Mohen could. When he hurriedly returned to Lan Ruozhu’s side, he was surprised that the latter was okay, especially when he heard Lan Ruozhu’s laughter.

Shen Mohen had never seen His Majesty laugh like that. He even suspected he was too tired from work that he was hallucinating. He asked the Shadow Guard beside him, “I-Is Your Majesty okay?”

Blue One nodded. “Yes, he’s okay.”

Blue One answered Shen Mohen’s question because Blue Eagle usually hid in the shadows.

Shen Mohen heaved a sigh of relief since His Majesty was fine. There was no need for him to rush to check on the latter. Shen Mohen asked curiously, “Who is the king talking to?”

Blue One happily said, “It’s the princess!”

Shen Mohen furrowed his brows when he heard the word ‘princess.’

“Isn’t the princess already…” He looked into the room and saw a young lady. At that moment, the setting sun’s afterglow shone on the courtyard and into the house.

A layer of light seemed to have covered the young lady’s figure, making it near impossible to see her face. Shen Mohen vaguely felt like he was in a trance. ‘I’ve met Princess Lan and heard of her. Unfortunately, she was gone too soon.’ Shen Mohen felt heavy-hearted when he thought of this. After all, Princess Lan was a legendary figure.

Su Binglan was talking to her brother when she noticed Shen Mohen at the door. The young man wore white and exuded a scholarly aura. However, he looked a little older than Lan Ruozhu.

“Brother, who is he?”

Lan Ruozhu glanced at Shen Mohen and said softly, “That’s Shen Mohen of the Legendary Medicine Valley. He’s also the son of the Shen Clan’s leader.”

The Shen Clan was one of the six great families in the capital. As for why Shen Mohen did not obediently inherit the family’s business and become a disciple of the Legendary Medicine Valley, that was his story.

Lan Ruozhu knew Shen Mohen had a story behind his decision, but he did not ask.

“Oh, the Shen Clan.” Su Binglan knew about the Shen Clan because she had heard about them while living as Lan Ruobing. The Shen Clan was very prosperous then.

However, for some unknown reason, they became silent, and half of the clan retired. They had no contact with the outside world, and no one knew what had happened to them.

Therefore, Lan Ruobing had little contact with the Shen Clan. Still, Su Binglan thought she must thank Shen Mohen that her brother could recover from his previous state. She was genuinely grateful to the person who had helped Lan

Ruozhu.

Lan Ruozhu still could not stand for the time being, so he only greeted Shen

Mohen standing outside the door, “Doctor Shen..”
