    Speaking of martial arts, it was all thanks to Shao Zhongxi’s cover that people mistakenly thought that he had practiced martial arts since she was young. Not to mention her family, even the people from the viges did not find it strange when they saw that he could learn how to fight.


    Ever since the cannon was invented, no country dared to provoke Da Ling. In addition, Da Ling began flourishing in those recent years. They had vigorously developed all walks of life, built rivers andnd roads, and helped with high-yield seeds. Even the wastnd had been maximized. Now, the four roads were developed everywhere, the grain warehouses were full, and the national treasury was extremely abundant. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The soldiers and the horses were stronger. Da Ling was a powerhouse.<div>


    Everyone in the vige had built brick houses. They wouldn’t starve to death just by nting crops. Every family had a surplus of food. They didn’t eat meat every meal, but it was no longer like before, where they only had it during the New Year.


    It was also because everyone had opened up a lot of wastnd — which could also produce high yield — that made it difficult for thendowners to rent out thend in their hands. Therefore, thendowners had long reduced the rent.


    Even if someone rented thend, they could still live a good life.


    In addition, Xue Yan had also vigorously promoted potatoes and sweet potatoes to rural areas. The relief silver grain had also increased. Unless there was a natural or man-made disaster, otherwise, rarely would the situation of people starving to death anymore.


    Yifu, Erfu, Sanfu, Sifu, Wufu, and Prince Shou had all been crowned Princes by Xue Yan.


    Xue Yan originally wanted to crown Jiang Yue something, but she didn’t agree.


    Xue Wufu was thest one in the family to know everything. At that time, he ran back from the military camp, but he was not angry. He even happily hugged Xue Yan and spun around a few times. Then, he returned to the military camp and showed off that he was the Emperor’s brother.


    Initially, everyone was worried that because Wufu would show off, many people in the military camp would not dare to y with him. Even if they yed with him, they would pay special attention. However, reality proved that they were all wrong. Wufu had that charm. He could attract others to y with him however they wanted.


    Now that Wufu was 28 years-old, he had yet to get married. It did not matter, because he was a Prince now. He did not have to worry about not finding a wife at all, and no one in the family was anxious.


    Not only had Sanfu been conferred the title of a Prince, but he had also relied on his own abilities to rise all the way to the rank of General of the Capital Protection Army a few years ago, managing 200,000 soldiers.


    There was no need to say anything about Sifu. That shrewd and unyielding mind had long since spread his business all over Da Ling. He had also expanded his business outside of Da Ling and had many business dealings with other countries.<div>


    As long as it was a business, no matter what business it was, he would dabble in it.


    Especially barbecue restaurants, silk shops, shipping and transportation, tea making, and so on.


    He even opened a bank franchise.


    Almost every ce in Da Ling had a Xue Ji Bank.


    Since the day Da Ling was established, there was aw stating that salt was not allowed to be sold privately. Salt tax was an important part of the court’s tax revenue, and Sifu was involved in making salt.


    It was also because of this importance that Da Ling had set up a special official to manage this salt, and Xue Yan had already arranged for a group of people who could bepletely trusted to manage this part of Da Ling’s expenses.


    Over the years, many people have died.


    For example, Xue Yan’s grandmother, who was Grand Empress Dowager Yunzi, had passed away. She left with a smile because she had seen the prosperity of Da Ling and no one dared to bully her people anymore. She felt that she could have an exnation when she saw her ancestors. Moreover, Grand Empress Dowager Yunzi had always med herself for the death of her second son. She felt that she had forced her second son to die, which led to her not being able to stand being alive anymore. Her body was getting worse and worse. Before she died, she actually felt like she was finally free.
