As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 814 Newborn Demon Spirit
Jiang Ran's eyes narrowed, and she saw that the snow-white dragon scales at the tip of Bai Mei's tail were covered with a layer of gold. As the blood in its body flowed and the spiritual energy surged, this gold became more and more intense, and it gradually tended to cover the body.

But as Bai Mei calmed the spiritual energy within her body into her spiritual sea, the golden hue quietly faded away. If Jiang Ran hadn't seen it several times, she would have thought it was just an illusion.

"Has the golden grass been marinated to perfection?"

Jiang Ran made a sarcastic remark, but she was actually a little puzzled.

Bai Mei's background is shrouded in mystery. How could a true dragon cub appear in the remote Suyuan Sea?

If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it for now. As long as you are strong enough, everything will fall into place.

The man and the two beasts took turns cultivating in the Golden Blood Body Refinement, and after about two hours, they finished their daily body refinement.

Bai Mei transformed into a blue-haired boy, holding a grilled spirit fish sent from the Jiang family's kitchen. He ate it one by one, not even spitting out the fish bones, and ate it with great relish.

"How is your refinement of the dragon pearl that Chi Yu gave you back then?" Jiang Ran asked.

Jiang Ran was puzzled as to why Chi Yu kidnapped Bai Mei, and even more puzzled as to why it was so kind as to give Bai Mei the precious Dragon Pearl. But the Fire Qiong Demon Whale only said that it liked the white dragon and regarded it as a good friend. It generously said that it was just a Dragon Pearl and it was given away.

Most of the magical beasts she encountered were kind. Of course, the unkind ones that came to provoke her were also dealt with by Jiang Ran. At the time, she believed Chi Yu's explanation for the time being, but she still had some doubts in her heart. However, when she found Bai Mei, the little dragon was already absorbing the power of the dragon ball, so there was nothing she could do about her doubts.

"Just a little bit more, Master. Once I fully absorb the power of the Dragon Ball, I should be able to reach the Dan Tian Realm." Bai Mei, the innocent little dragon, wasn't thinking about anything. She was happily chewing her food and, with a little attention spared, mumbled something.

In the afternoon, Jiang Ran continued to practice in the training ground. During a break, she closed her eyes to rest, and the officials of the Grand Palace carried documents to report on matters within the Grand Palace to her as usual.

Officials including Wu Yun held the memorial in their hands and waited respectfully.

Today, Wu Yun came to report on Jiazi Medical Clinic, which Jiang Ran has been paying close attention to.

The name of the clinic is derived from the Chinese sexagenary cycle, Jiazi, which also represents Jiang Ran's wish for Da Su, implying endless cycles.

Last year, the first Jiazi Medical Clinic was established in Suling County. Experienced doctors and midwives were selected from all over the county, and prescriptions and elixirs for nourishing the fetus were found from other places. Yao Nian, a highly respected doctor in the county, was appointed as the director of the clinic.

Jiazi Hospital has a Department of Infant Care to teach midwives how to deliver babies;
Children often suffer from illnesses in spring and summer, including urticaria and colds. Doctors were dispatched to rural areas to promote the Jiazi Medical Clinic and earnestly advised people not to hide their illnesses and seek medical treatment in a timely manner.

Furthermore, female doctors were dispatched to improve the menstrual belts for women, making them safer. If someone really couldn't afford a better menstrual belt, it was repeatedly emphasized that the menstrual belt should be sterilized by boiling linen in boiling water, in order to minimize the risk of women contracting gynecological diseases.

"Last year, Jiazi Medical Clinic received more than 800 pregnant women and helped more than 500 families give birth to healthy babies," Wu Yun said. "Your Highness is benevolent. Since the establishment of Jiazi Medical Clinic, the number of infant deaths has been greatly reduced."

When Jiazi Medical Center was first established, the public did not trust it much. Moreover, the cost of giving birth at Jiazi Medical Center was more expensive than hiring a midwife. Therefore, most of the women who were sent to Jiazi Medical Center were facing a birth crisis and had no choice but to be brought to the medical center for emergency treatment.

Therefore, it is a huge breakthrough that more than 500 of the 800+ women were able to give birth successfully.

Jiang Ran nodded in satisfaction, a hint of a smile in her eyes. She raised her eyes slightly and tapped her fingertips lightly. "I heard that the county's population increased by 20,000 last year. Is that true?"

Population is the foundation of a city. An increase of 10,000 people means 10,000 farmers who pay taxes, 10,000 laborers who can be conscripted, and 10,000 soldiers who can defend the country...

To advance to the Chengdu-level territory, the population must reach at least one million. Currently, the county town's population is a mere 300,000, less than half of that. Naturally, Jiang Ran has to pay close attention to the population growth situation.

Wu Yun smiled and said, "How could we dare to falsify anything? We have indeed added more than 25,000 new entrances. I think that if the Jiazi Medical Clinic can be promoted to various places, over time, the population of Dasu will definitely increase significantly, laying a solid foundation for the prosperity of Dasu."

"Of course we should build it." Since Jiazi Medical Clinic has been a success in Suling City, other counties should also build Jiazi Medical Clinics as soon as possible.

Wu Yun withdrew, and Jiang Ran took a sip of spiritual tea. Not far away, the sounds of Bai Mei and Mo Sheng fighting could be heard, but the group was not disturbed. After finishing her tea, Jiang Ran slightly raised her chin, signaling Yang Guiying to come over.

"How are the colleges established in counties like Zhuoli doing?"

"The public school and Suhong branch have been completed. We are currently recruiting instructors, hiring skilled cultivators from among the retired soldiers, as well as outstanding students who graduated from Suhong Academy last year. We have already recruited more than 100 instructors. In April of this year, the school will be able to open smoothly and cultivate talents for governing the country."

……

Since the establishment of the Demon Spirit Department at Suhong Academy, thanks to the many students and the "Universal Agricultural Book," the number of low-grade spirit fields in Dasu has increased to a thousand acres.

Among them, Suling County stands out with over 500 mu of spirit fields, including 17 mu of mid-grade spirit fields. Next is Zeyan County, whose land is originally flat and fertile, with 300 mu of low-grade spirit fields.

As the land evolved, thanks to the efforts of demon spirit masters such as Jiang Nancheng and Li Yiniu, a demon spirit year was brought forth between the 25th and 26th years of the Great Su Dynasty.

Seven new spirit insects have been born in Da Su! They are the Rock Flame Flower Spirit Insect, Wheat Spirit Insect, Potato Spirit Insect, Bean Spirit Insect, Rice Spirit Insect, Ramie Spirit Insect, and Sesame Spirit Insect.

All seven spirit insects are very useful to the territory, among which the Flame Rock Flower Spirit Insect is the most spiritual.

"Oh my, this is incredible! Just a few years ago, there was only one Wheat Spirit Worm and one Mulberry Spirit Worm in the territory. Everyone treated these two demon spirits like treasures, fearing that something might happen to the little guys. Especially the Wheat Spirit Worm, which was related to the stomachs of everyone in the territory. At that time, the Wheat Spirit Worm was very old. If it could not evolve smoothly, it would probably disappear into the world... Who would have thought that in just five or six years, more than sixty demon spirits would appear in the Great Su?"

Outside the window, the shadows of the trees are horizontal and slanted, and the branches and leaves sway gently in the breeze.

Li Fusheng was talking incessantly to a young servant from Zhuoli County, recounting the difficult times when Dasu was still a small town.

Two of the three sentences praised the lord from various angles for his outstanding talent, self-improvement, and superb abilities, making the young servant's eyes light up.
