Little Lord

Wilde couldn't help but tell Jiang Zhuozhuo about the dark history of "The Sun Weekly". This third-rate tabloid has a long history of bad deeds. It has no stance and often maliciously distorts or fabricates facts in order to attract attention.

No journalistic ethics at all!

Their Pravda is different. They write about verified first-hand materials and strive to deliver important news to thousands of households as soon as possible.

Jiang Zhuozhuo understood: "Your family has a copy of Pravda."

She blinked and looked at Wilder beside her.

Wilder's appearance is also very outstanding, and his bird-like form has colorful screen feathers. No matter what the conditions are, he is considered to be a very outstanding male. Coupled with his extraordinary family background, he must be a hot existence in the imperial capital.

Such a person must be very proud, but he is not the eldest son at home, and outside... he is not the first among the younger generation. This situation must be very uncomfortable for such a conceited person.

No wonder Wilder sounded so sarcastic when he praised that knight whose last name was too long to remember.

Wilder met her clear eyes and actually felt that Jiang Zhuozhuo had seen through him. He said, "Our family has invested in so many businesses, so why is it so strange that we have a copy of Pravda?"

Jiang Zhuozhuo didn't poke anyone's sore spot. She nodded and said, "Your family is really powerful." She actively solicited investment for Woye Province, "Then can you invest in a publishing house for us? One that does papermaking, printing, and sales! We have a lot of grass here in Woye Province."

With grass, you can make your own paper!

Everything is ready, all that’s left is to pick up some free skills!

Wilder: ?

Is this a question of whether there is grass or not?

Wilder asked with a smile: "Why? Do you still want to start a weekly magazine called "French Fries on the Hour"? "

Jiang Zhuozhuo was surprised: "How did you know?"

Wilder: “…”

Silence, long silence.

All Wilder could say was, "I'll consider it after I've looked into it."

Jiang Zhuozhuo knew when to stop and would not slaughter a fat sheep if he failed to catch one.

As we all know, if you overcharge people, it will affect the reputation of the place! The upper circle is so small, and when the word spreads, no one will come to invest in you. Who else can you overcharge?
The truly smart ones should take the sustainable route of fattening the sheep!
Jiang Zhuozhuo secretly praised himself and went to look through the picture album recommended by Wilde.

Compared with the remote and backward fertile provinces, people in the imperial capital already have a lot of entertainment. For example, there are some famous paintings hanging in Wilde's study, and many publishers try their best to print some picture albums to sell, so that ordinary people who can't afford real works can also cultivate some aesthetic taste through these picture albums.

As for what they are trained for, it is definitely to make it easier for them to serve the nobles in the future.

With such a room full of books as company, and Wilde and the others occasionally telling him some odd stories, Jiang Zhuozhuo didn't feel bored on his return journey.

When the ship was about to arrive at the port, Jiang Zhuozhuo ran to the deck and looked at the shore. She soon saw Maine, who was usually very busy, waiting there to greet her.

Jiang Zhuozhuo was very happy. He turned into a small round bird and flew to the shore. He landed on Maine's shoulder and chirped to Maine, telling him that he had brought back a very wealthy investor.

If you find out what industries or technologies your territory lacks, just talk to him!
They have nothing at present, so what does it represent? It represents a vast space for development and a brand new market to be developed.

Investors with vision will definitely be optimistic about them!
Maine: .

It seems that Jiang Zhuozhuo and Wilder get along very well indeed. Look, they have even learned all the clichés used in the business world.

Businessmen are the second most cunning group of people in the world (politicians are the most cunning). Maine was worried that Jiang Zhuozhuo would be fooled by Wilde along the way, but now it seems that her worry was a bit unnecessary.

Jiang Zhuozhuo has the ability to drive smart people crazy.

While the man and the bird were talking, the ship came to shore.

Wilder was the first to get off the boat. He was dignified, elegant, and graceful, and at first glance, he didn't fit in with the dock full of civilians. He glanced at the slightly wet steps and realized that it had snowed two days ago and now was the time for the snow to melt.

Fortunately, in order to welcome Jiang Zhuozhuo's return and his visit, someone had swept the snow at the dock so that people wouldn't slip when walking on it.

It's just that the weather is the coldest when the snow melts, but there are many children playing on the dock. It seems that the news brought back by those captains is true. The Woye Province is really selling cold-resistant food to civilians at low prices.

It was obvious at first glance that Jiang Zhuozhuo was not cut out for business, and being soft-hearted was not something that could exist in a businessman's heart. As for the benefits Jiang Zhuozhuo provided, they were even more inconsistent with the principle of putting the interests of businessmen first.

Wilder smiled and walked forward to greet Maine, praising her generously: "Ms. Maine has become more and more radiant recently."

Maine said, "Same with Mr. Wild."

The little round bird perched on Maine's shoulder, eavesdropping on their conversation with its ears perched high.

The tone sounded like something I'd seen before.

Come to think of it, I heard from Anna and the others that Maine was the top student in the Imperial Maid Academy. When she graduated, she was offered recruitment by three princesses, but she refused none of them and instead chose to follow them to Woye Province.

Jiang Zhuozhuo thought about why Mei Yin made such a choice and roughly guessed the reasons: on the one hand, Mei Yin was a little tired of having to maintain a perfect life all the time; on the other hand, she had the idea that it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

If she had not been able to transform, the entire Woye Province would basically be ruled by Maine, and she would not have to kowtow to anyone. As for the other princesses, she was just a civilian graduate who had just started working. In terms of seniority, there would be many people ahead of her, and in terms of her background, she had no say at all.

In terms of ability? There is no place in the world where ability is the only thing to be discussed.

Looking at Wilder's attitude towards Maine now, Maine was indeed very outstanding and hardworking in the past. She relied on herself to stand in front of many people who were born with everything.

Jiang Zhuozhuo admired this kind of person very much, unlike her who wanted to lie flat like a bird all day long. If Maine had her background, she would have become a popular candidate for the throne by now!

This evil era of bloodline theory!

The group returned to the castle amid the curious gazes of many onlookers.

Maine first arranged for the guests to rest, and then watched Little Round Bird enthusiastically share with her various souvenirs brought back from the Red Leaf Province.

For example, a bag of hot sugar-roasted chestnuts.

This was freshly fried by Helana when the ship was about to dock. As soon as you opened the bag, the unique sweet aroma hit your nose.

Jiang Zhuozhuo proudly said that this bag of chestnuts was picked by her, and each of them had a very standard opening and was very easy to peel!

Maine accepted the roasted chestnuts and watched the little round bird hopping on the bags and introducing what new things he had brought back.

For the first time in my life, I felt like my family had gone out and brought back many gifts.

This was a feeling Maine had never felt from her real family before; all she had felt was indifference, alienation, and exploitation.

When she did not choose the empress dowager they had proposed as they wished, they were furious and went to her to curse at her.

But is it that she studies so hard and strives to move up just to "repay" them?

Maine was distracted for a moment, and saw the little round bird that was jumping around in the pile of gifts just now jumped into a round container that looked like a woven product.

The little round bird used its head to support the obviously breathable lid and asked Maine mysteriously: "Do you know what this is?"

These containers come in several sizes, and each size is stacked half a person's height.

Maine shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Jiang Zhuozhuo said excitedly: "This is a steamer! It can be used to steam buns! I'll ask Helana to wash it and try to steam it! If it works well, we can let people learn to weave it. Then we can sell steamed buns. This can steam a lot of them at once."

Although buns can be steamed in an ordinary pot, Jiang Zhuozhuo still stubbornly believes that those steamed in a steamer are the most delicious, so he has never put making buns on his agenda.

This time she saw materials suitable for making steamers in Hongye Province, and immediately asked local craftsmen to make a batch according to her description. Unfortunately, they did not bring yeast with them this time, so they could not try steaming on the spot.

Maine learned that the steamer was used to steam buns. He looked at the little round bird squatting in it with great joy and said, "Your Highness, are you going to steam yourself?"

Jiang Zhuozhuo flew out immediately.

Maine had the steamer sent to the kitchen.

Jiang Zhuozhuo handed over the matter of discussing investment matters with Wilde to Maine, and followed the steamer to find Helana to discuss with Helana what kind of buns to steam.

Today Maine had someone prepare honey-glazed barbecued pork for them!

What kind of fate is this?

Jiang Zhuozhuo watched Helana making dough and hummed to her: "Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp (barbecued pork buns, who loves to eat freshly baked barbecued pork buns)!"

Helana:.

What song is this?

Why does it sound so brainwashing?

If she listens a little longer, she will almost be able to sing it.

Listening to the singing of the happy little birds, she was also looking forward to the fresh noodles that would be steamed soon.

It’s hard to imagine that these ordinary ingredients can be transformed into so many unheard-of delicacies in your hands.

She didn't expect that she would encounter such a great opportunity when she came to Woye Province. I'm afraid no one will dare to laugh at her when she returns to the imperial capital in the future.

Jiang Zhuozhuo jumped up and down on the shoulders of Helana and the others, and enthusiastically sang a few lines of "Barbecued Pork Buns" to everyone, and finally succeeded in getting everyone to hum a few lines.

Seeing that everyone started talking about barbecued pork buns, lotus seed paste buns, lard buns, shark fin buns, lotus seed paste buns, pan-fried buns, and soup dumplings, Jiang Zhuozhuo flew away with satisfaction to patrol his castle.

There is a saying that goes, if you keep thinking about it, there will be a response!

As long as she persists in calling out the names of dishes to Helana and the others, one day she will be able to eat all the dishes she wants!
The little round bird hummed a little tune happily and flew around the castle. It suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since it recruited Fay, an edible fungus cultivation expert, and asked Old Lu to build a greenhouse with controllable temperature and humidity (although the method was more dependent on manual labor).

I wonder if she grew any delicious mushrooms during the time she was out playing!
Mushroom meat buns, super delicious!
The little round bird was turning to fly towards her mushroom meat bun, but after flying for a while, it heard a few very faint cries coming from below.

She was startled and landed in the direction of the wailing sound, where she saw several wounded eagles lying there, and next to them was a winged horse that had stopped breathing.

It seems that this loyal winged horse carried them here, but it couldn't hold on and fell down.

Jiang Zhuozhuo transformed into a human form and stepped forward to touch the eagle's neck. Its body temperature was still hot, indicating that it was still alive.

She knew that most of the Eagle Clan were knights guarding the empire, so she immediately called out to Jude and others who were protecting her to help.

The good people who defended their country were saved!
