After settling things at the paper mill, Su Binglan arranged for a few of her subordinates to look after it. That way, she would not have to worry about the paper mill. She did the same for the printing factory.

Then, she prepared for a trip to Yang County to check out the herbal medicine factory’s construction. After dinner that night, the Su family gathered and chatted as usual. Su Binglan also told her family about her plans.

Shen Qiuhua asked, “So, you’re visiting Yang County soon? You only mentioned building an herb factory a few days ago. Have the workers already gone there to make arrangements?”

Su Binglan nodded. “Yes, Mother. Well, I’ve already set up the paper mill and printing factory. Cousin Wenxing and the others have completed the waterwheel, and Granduncle Su has distributed the potatoes.

“Since I have nothing much to handle here, I’ll take advantage of this time to visit Yang County and check on the construction there. Meanwhile, we have to build some factories at the border prefecture.”

Su Binglan wanted to arrange everything so that Dingzhou would prosper quickly. By then, the places under Lan Ruozhu’s jurisdiction would be incomparable to other places.

Shen Qiuhua knew her daughter would help a lot of people, no matter where she went or what she did. Still, the former could only hope her daughter would rest and not overexert herself.

Shen Qiuhua said, “Don’t worry. I’ll support everything you do, Binglan. Do you need me to accompany you to Yang County?”

Su Binglan shook her head. “No need, Mother. I have a group of subordinates who can follow me now.”

That was thanks to Lan Ruozhu, who had sent those people to aid her. They even helped Su Binglan train another group of people to expand her reach in other areas.

Su Fengmao sighed, saying, “No wonder those managers at the paper mill and printing factory seem different from the others. They do things with such precision and order. It’s evident they’ve undergone strict training.”

Su Binglan agreed, “Indeed, they’re trustworthy subordinates. I can relax with them managing most things. Now, I only need to focus on what I need to do instead of doing everything alone.”

She only needed to supervise, make plans, and let her subordinates do the rest, just like she did with the paper mill and printing factory.

Shen Qiuhua said, “It’s good that you have less on your plate now. Speaking of which, the villagers are pleased with the waterwheel. They’ve started planting some seeds, so they realize how convenient it is to have the waterwheel.”

Su Fengmao smiled, saying, “Yeah, Wenxing told us that the people from other villages had raised funds to get themselves a waterwheel, too. Wenxing and his brothers are busy with building and installing waterwheels in several villages.

“Although he’s not profiting, he’s delighted to help others. He says it’s meaningful to help so many people. Many people are happy to see your cousin. ”

Su Wenxing was Su Zhengde and Madam Zhou’s eldest son. Su Binglan had asked Su Wenxing and his two brothers to build, a.s.semble, and install the waterwheel.

Su Binglan nodded with a smile. “Indeed, having a waterwheel is convenient. It’s good that everyone can get use out of it.”

Fortunately, the surrounding villages also wanted waterwheels for themselves. With it, they could save much time and effort.

Su Wenzhe said, “The employees at our noodle shop expressed their grat.i.tude when they saw me and Yinyin. They knew we wouldn’t have such a thing if it weren’t for you.”

He could not help but laugh when he mentioned that. He felt proud to have such a capable sister. “Everyone envies me for having you as a sister.”

Su Binglan smiled at him and said, “You’re doing pretty well, too. You’re constantly learning and improving. Continue to study hard, and I’ll give you other things to do soon.”

Su Wenzhe perked up. “Don’t worry, Sister. Yinyin and I study hard whenever we have nothing to do in the noodle shop.”

Su Binglan nodded smilingly.

Su Wenxiu got excited. He did not expect his sister to take action so quickly after saying she wanted to open a medicinal herb factory. After all, it would benefit the villagers there.

They had worked hard to cultivate and harvest the herbs. With the factory there, they would no longer get ripped off by the merchants and medical centers.

After some thought, Su Wenxiu looked at Su Binglan and said, “Doctor Yang and I will accompany you to Yang County. She’s more familiar with the situation there since her family established the village.

“The locals are well aware of her medical skills, so her status in the village is pretty high.”

Su Binglan nodded. “Hmm, that’s perfect. Sure, you and Doctor Yang can accompany me.”

Although it was already late at night, Lin Yis.h.i.+ and his family were still wide awake. They sat at the table and counted their profits for the day. They realized they could sell hundreds of scones and even earn up to two silver daily. Even if they did not do well, they could earn one silver.

The family was ecstatic as they had never dared to imagine earning so much before. Therefore, the family barely slept for the next few days due to excitement. Still, they would be enthusiastic the following day to sell more scones.

Cai s.h.i.+ worked hard at the paper mill during the day and helped her husband after work. She would also wake up before dawn to help her husband knead the dough. That way, it would be more convenient for her husband to bake more scones if he needed them.

At that moment, the family had dinner together and then counted their earnings. One of them said, “We earned two silver and a hundred and twenty-five copper.”

Old Madam Lin had counted the money three times. The family had consistently earned a lot in the past few days, but she was still in disbelief.

“We earned what we usually make in a year within just a day.”

Her hands trembled, and her eyes brimmed with tears as she spoke.

Lin Yis.h.i.+ was just as excited, saying, “Mother, I will work hard to give you a better life.”

Old Madam Lin shook her head. “I’ll be happy as long as you guys do well. I’ve already asked the villagers about how to rent a shop. They told me about someone who specializes in real estate.

“That person should know about shops and houses. Let’s fill in our information and sign the contract. Once you get the keys, you can start selling your scones in the shop.

“We can save up and use the money to buy some tables, chairs, and even benches. You can even set up a workbench at the shop so that you don’t have to make the scones at home.’

Lin Yis.h.i.+ nodded and said, “Yeah, we can do all the work at the shop.”

Now that business was booming, he planned to rent a shop. That way, his workflow would improve..
