Everyone was working hard and earnestly working for the people.

Currently, the entire Chu Country was developing very well. Its economy, politics, culture, and so on were all developing very well.

The current Chu Country had become a large country, and its population had also increased by a lot.

Now, everyone was focused on learning.

They would let the children go to free schools.

The quality of the people had also improved, and the medical standards had also improved a lot.

Now, when other countries mentioned the Chu Country, they could not help but praise it. The current Chu Country was no longer something that the Chu Country of the past could compare to.

The other countries did not dare to have any more ideas about the Chu Country, let alone start a war.

Everyone still wanted to import some things from Chu to their country.

The main reason was that the things developed by the Chu Country were especially good.

Not to mention the delicacies, even the food and necessities were amazing.

There were also clothes to wear. There were down jackets and sweaters. The further north people went, the warmer they were.

There was also cement. The roads made of cement were especially good.

However, other countries did not know the secret recipe for cement, so they could only import cement from Chu.

Also, with the spread of paper making and printing techniques, everyone could buy cheap brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.

There were also books. There were simply too many books in Chu.

There was a huge library in Teng He County, Chu Country, and it contained many books.

There were also many books in the Xia Capital, making it convenient for many people to go to the library to read.

Even students from other countries would come to Chu to study.

The students of the Chu Country would also hold exchange meetings regularly, and they would also welcome students from other countries to discuss knowledge together.

Many people liked to come to Chu to take a look and have fun.

Every time they came to take a look, they would exclaim in admiration.

They were amazed by the changes in Chu.

The commoners loved their emperor even more.

Everyone felt that their living conditions had improved, and they were all grateful to Emperor Lan Ruozhu.

Even the border was stabilized.

Everyone no longer had to worry about a war.

In fact, the common people were afraid of war and hoped to live in a peaceful environment.

Now, everyone could live in a peaceful environment.

Even if it was farming, the grain yield was still very high.

Everyone didn’t have to worry about not having enough to eat and not having enough to wear.

Moreover, the imperial court had stored a lot of food.

Fortunately, they could distribute food to the people at the critical moment.

But now, because all the places had grown potatoes, sweet potatoes, high-yield rice, wheat, and other crops, there was a lot of food in reserve.

In addition, many places had also planted greenhouse vegetables.

Even though it was winter, everyone could still eat fresh vegetables.

Moreover, there were many types of vegetables now, not as few as before.

Now, under Su Binglan’s leadership, everyone had grown a lot of fresh vegetables.

There were also fruits.

Now, there were more fruits.

Strawberries and grapes could be eaten everywhere.

Wine also became popular.

Nowadays, the nobles were used to drinking red wine, and everyone felt that red wine was delicious.

Of course, although Chu also grew grapes, the truly delicious grapes were still the grapes of Bright Moon City.

Because the climate there was suitable for the growth of grapes, the grapes planted there were very sweet.

That was why the grapes there were delicious.

There were a lot of grapes there, and Bright Moon City had even built a grape factory that specialized in producing raisins.

Raisins had become a specialty of Bright Moon City.

They would all be transported to Chu.

The commoners of Chu could eat sweet grapes and raisins.

Now, every household could grow tomatoes. Everyone’s favorite food was still scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

It was simple but delicious.
