As a lord, I was forced to farm

"Can I see it?"

Jiang Xiaowen looked at the scripts with curiosity.

Jiang Ran nodded.

A month later, as Ah Feng's "Chasing Clouds" began filming, the other members of the Ministry of Rites also presented Jiang Ran with the remaining three initial scripts.

When Jiang Ran gave the order, she did not say that they should write it themselves. Therefore, most officials chose to find writers with good writing skills from the public and let them write these scripts.

However, a month later, Jiang Ran did not find anything interesting about the subject matter of "Official Career: The Backbone of the Great Army".

But Jiang Ran didn't feel disappointed. After all, the Great Su Dynasty had a history of less than 28 years, and she had only been in power for 7 years, so it was indeed not easy to write about.

But the remaining two plays, "Sangmo Chuiyan" and "Cuju Fengyun", were still somewhat interesting. She selected two of them and set the tone for them.

"Sangmo Chuiyan" was created by Fang Lang, a storyteller from Suling City, and several of his storytelling troupe members.

The story is set in a rural area of ​​Dasu, and mainly focuses on the daily lives and love affairs of the five siblings of Wu Kun's family from Dasu.

In Jiang Ran's view, the story is not novel, but it has a beginning and an end and is quite conventional.

However, on the other hand, in the vast continent where there are no film and television works, "Sangmo Chuiyan" is actually a refreshing existence.

Thus, Fang Lang's creation, "Sang Mo Chui Yan," was approved by Jiang Ran. It was then handed over to Dong Lanxiang, an official from the Ministry of Rites, to continue refining the script, which was then handled by the Hai Kuo Lou storytelling troupe.

The story of "The Legend of Cuju" that Jiang Ran had her eye on was actually written by Li Yunfan, an official from the Ministry of Rites.

The story is roughly about Yang Yulang, a once-promising cultivator whose meridians were damaged in an accident, rendering him unable to cultivate anymore. He then suffered a series of setbacks, including the loss of his family, the departure of his lover, and poverty. Just when he was at his lowest point, a strange man claiming to be a Cuju (ancient Chinese football) coach approached him, inviting him to join his Cuju team. This marked the beginning of a second, glorious chapter in his life…

"This story is quite interesting. When will it be adapted into a ghost story?"

Jiang Xiaowen looked at "The Legend of Cuju" with sparkling eyes.

The story of "The Legend of Cuju" is full of ups and downs and is very exciting. The protagonist has a similar experience to Jiang Xiaowen, especially the fact that he became a cultivation failure.

Before receiving guidance from Jiang Ran, she had always lived under the gaze of the world who thought, "How can the lord's daughter be a cultivation failure?" Her parents didn't love her, and her servants looked down on her. How could she not be another Li Yunfan?
Therefore, she felt very involved.

"Perhaps in a year or two, the current host has limited funds and equipment to prepare for filming 'Chasing Clouds'."

Jiang Xiaowen was somewhat disappointed when she heard that it would take one or two years to film.

But soon, her eyes shifted slightly, and her cat-like eyes narrowed. "If we had enough money, could we speed things up a bit?"

Jiang Ran looked up at Jiang Xiaowen and nodded gently, "That's right."

The saying goes, "Money makes the world go round."

“I have five million spirit crystals here. I’ll pay whatever it costs to film a spirit shadow drama.”

Jiang Xiaowen waved her hand magnanimously and said this.

Jiang Xiaowen, a formidable individual who dared to challenge Spirit Gathering Realm beasts, Spirit Gathering Realm beasts, and Spirit Refining Realm beasts, and even Profound Bone Realm beasts, had saved up some money over the years. "Sister, didn't you share 10% of the profits with Afeng? I'll also invest some spirit crystals in this 'Cuju Fengyun' game. Can you share some of the profits with me too? I want to earn some pocket money."

Jiang Xiaowen said with a grin.

Jiang Ran thought it was a good thing that someone was investing. "The Cangmiao Continent has never had a Spirit Shadow Drama before. Aren't you afraid that the money you invest will go down the drain?"

Even Jiang Ran herself couldn't guarantee that people in this world would accept the spirit shadow drama, which is why she chose "Chasing Clouds" which already had a certain number of fans in the Da Su market to start the campaign. But she never thought that it had to be profitable; she just wanted to break even.

If the "Chasing Clouds" ghost drama is well-received, we will increase investment in other ghost dramas.

Jiang Xiaowen said nonchalantly, "I just like this story and want to see it made into a spirit drama as soon as possible. It would be best if it could make a profit and earn some pocket money. If not, I'll just kill a few more magical beasts and rob—no, borrow some spirit crystals from those bandits."

She seemed to think she had said something wrong, and touched her nose sheepishly. She glanced cautiously at Jiang Ran's expression, and seeing that her sister was not angry because of her unintentional words, she returned to her unruly and unruly manner.

“Unlike ‘Chasing Clouds’, which requires showcasing too many dazzling mystical arts, ‘The Legend of Cuju’ doesn’t need to hire any cultivators, so it doesn’t require investing too many spirit crystals.” Jiang Ran thought for a moment, and since Jiang Xiaowen understood the pros and cons, she didn’t refuse her investment.

"An investment of about one million spirit crystals should be enough. As for the profits, I'll give you 30%."

Jiang Xiaowen was already very satisfied with 30%, while Afeng only received half a percent. She immediately hugged Jiang Ran's arm with a grin and rubbed her soft cheek against her, saying, "Thank you, sister."

"Then I'll join in the fun and donate one million spirit crystals to 'Sangmo Chuiyan' as well." Jiang Nancheng looked pitiful, but his eyes were full of smiles. "Sister, you won't be biased, will you?"

"will not."

……

With the support of Jiang Xiaowen and Jiang Nancheng, Da Su's several ghost dramas are obviously progressing much faster.

Putting the matter of the spirit drama aside for now, while Jiang Xiaowen was diligently cultivating, Jiang Ran herself did not slack off either.

In preparation for this power competition, in addition to Hu Lian, Tu Shi, Li Qinqing, Jian Bai, and Luo Yin were also summoned to cultivate alongside Jiang Ran.

Sometimes, heavy fog blankets the mornings in winter, with a layer of milky white mist enveloping the city, making distant houses and mountains appear and disappear in the fog.

In the cold winter, the weather in Xiaohan Prefecture became increasingly freezing. Hu Lian and the other five teenagers, dressed in thin clothes, had their faces turned blue from the cold. They carefully fended off the attacks of the five giant ice falcons of Xiaohan Prefecture amidst the swirling snow.

"It's so cold..."

The cold wind was like a blade, and the five people felt as if their skin was being cut by a thousand knives.

The speed of the Falcon Xiaohan was extremely fast. Under the cover of wind and snow, the Falcon's figure was like a ghost.

A white shadow swooped down. Hu Lian and Luo Yin were the first to notice. The former summoned a water shield, which instantly turned into ice in the extreme cold. Xiao Han's sharp claws collided with the ice shield, and shards of ice flew everywhere. In no time, it turned into powder.

"So powerful! This Frost Giant Falcon is only a peak Spirit Refining Realm magical beast, yet it can unleash such immense power under the influence of the Little Frost Mansion's environment."

Li Qinqing's eyes narrowed upon seeing this. (End of Chapter)
