“I’ve always admired those who can serve their country and people, I’ve always dreamt of becoming a hero on the battlefield! When I was a little girl, my grandfather used to tell me about these heroic stories, at that time, I wished that I could go to war myself someday!’1

Xie Ying began to share her dreams with Wei Ruo.

Then Xie Ying pursed her lips and spoke with regret and helplessness: “Unfortunately, I am a girl. I learned as I grew older that there are many things a girl cannot do. Let alone going to war, there are a bunch of rules we have to follow even for something as simple as stepping out of the house.”

Wei Ruo couldn’t help but laugh. This young miss from the Xie family was really interesting, genuinely different from ordinary boudoir ladies!

“What are you laughing at?” Xie Ying asked.

“I’m not mocking you, I’m pleasantly surprised! I agree with you. For instance,

I want to cultivate the land south of the city, but I can only do so with the approval of my parents. Even when they agree, I need to be chaperoned by my nanny every outing.”

“But you have achieved something, my mother told me that your success can benefit the city’s people, and more people can have food. Your merit is as great as those soldiers defending our borders and safeguarding the nation!”

Xie Ying admired such people the most!

“If you are interested, you could join it too,” Wei Ruo suggested.

“Could I?” asked Xie Ying skeptically.

“Of course, there are still lots of vacant lands in the south of the city.”

“But aren’t the wastelands of the city’s south mainly given to landless farmers to cultivate?” Xie Ying asked.

“Most of the wastelands have been allocated to displaced farmers and jobless fishermen, but due to their limited farming costs, we have given them areas that are relatively good, close to official roads or water sources, or relatively flat. Places with complex terrains have not been assigned.

“Can we also grow crops in places with complex terrain?” Xie Ying asked.

■’Yes, but it’s not suitable to grow crops such as rice due to high human and maintenance costs. We can grow bamboo or mushrooms, various fruits and vegetables or even medicinal herbs.”

Wei Ruo, looking at Xie Ying who was listening attentively, already had an idea in mind.

Wei Ruo continued to say to Xie Ying, “If you’re really interested, we can

collaborate.”

“Collaborate?” Xie Ying asked curiously.

“You may not be good at farming, I can handle that. Although I’m good at it, I have a limited freedom and time back in Wei Family and also lack manpower. If we work together, we can complement each other. We can share the silver we earn according to the effort we put in. What do you think?”

“Although I am not fond of farming, I find it fascinating what you are proposing!” Xie Ying showed great interest.

Xie Ying, who was pampered by her grandparents and parents since childhood, had never been short of money. But she was intrigued by the idea of earning silver on her own.
