"Prince, this is your palace." When Zhan Lingfeng completed the handover procedures for Inside the County and handled various formalities to arrive at Eastern County, he saw a magnificent and grand palace in a place called Eastern City, the Provincial Capital.
"Did they really make it this big?" Zhan Lingfeng did not expect that the Three Sisters had built such a large palace.
Cai Xiangzhi smiled and said, "This is your palace, so it naturally needs to be made beautiful."
Upon entering, Zhan Lingfeng first noticed the arrangement of formations. Of course, with his eyesight, this formation was not as good as the ones he created himself; however, for these immortals, this formation was already quite decent.
"Well, I'll take some time to improve the formation." Zhan Lingfeng was not satisfied with such a formation.
Cai Xiangzhi did not say much; after all, the money had already been spent, and everyone was working very quickly. There were certainly many areas that still needed improvement.
As they moved further inside, there were pavilions and towers, flowing water and blooming flowers everywhere...
Zhan Lingfeng found it to be a truly pleasant living environment. Being in such an environment gave off a sense of an immortal's aura.
Since the money had already been spent, Zhan Lingfeng did not mind much. Moreover, this money was not public funds; it was all from the Three Sisters' own dividends, which was quite rare.
After looking at several courtyards where the Consorts lived, Zhan Lingfeng turned to the Three Women and said, "You've done well."
"Prince, those two haven't been with you yet. Are you planning to take them when you have some time?" Cai Xiangzhi laughed.
Looking at the two women, Zhan Lingfeng noticed a shy expression on their faces, but there was also a hint of anticipation.
"Then let's do it tonight."
Zhan Lingfeng had become bolder now; he smiled and said this casually.
After some idle chatter, Cai Xiangzhi's expression became serious. "Prince, we Three Sisters have divided our responsibilities. I am in charge of the Beverage Factory matters. The second sister has a strong background in intelligence research, so we let her handle that work. She has already set up the intelligence framework."
"What?"
Zhan Lingfeng was somewhat astonished; he did not expect that the Three Sisters were capable individuals.
"Originally, the second sister was responsible for the factory. However, we found that her intelligence skills were quite impressive, so we infused her with knowledge in this area. Now she is doing very well in this regard. As for the third sister, she is more adept at management. I plan to let her take over my work next; I will focus more on government matters to assist you."
This matter was originally what Zhan Lingfeng had in mind. As for nepotism, Zhan Lingfeng did not care at all; he believed that his own woman should not have to rely on anyone else.
"You all can handle it as you see fit. I only have one requirement: all the wealth earned must be invested in poverty alleviation efforts."
When Zhan Lingfeng arrived here, Cai Xiangzhi's face showed a strange expression as she said, "Your Highness, there is a new situation across the country. Ever since your tribulation success, many families and factions have come forward, asking to contract villages to assist with poverty alleviation."
Zhan Lingfeng was taken aback; he really did not expect there to be so many who were unafraid of death.
As if sensing Zhan Lingfeng's confusion, Cai Xiangzhi continued, "Your Highness, in fact, there are quite a few wealthy people in the country. Some of them are nearing the end of their lives. Once they reach that point, they basically have no hope for further advancement, so they have turned their attention to this matter."
"How many villages are there in Eastern County?" Zhan Lingfeng had not actually counted this.
"This information is available from the provincial office. Knowing that Your Highness needs it, I went to find it. Eastern County has ten cities, each city has ten counties, and within each county are ten townships. The number of villages in the countryside varies; there are at least seventeen and as many as thirty-nine, with some having up to two hundred thousand villages."
"There are that many?"
Zhan Lingfeng truly did not expect there to be so many villages under his jurisdiction. If there were indeed that many villages, it would be a tremendous benefit for his development. If he could manage to achieve poverty alleviation across all these villages, then accomplishing his goal of becoming a Dao Master would also become possible.
"How many poverty-stricken villages are there?" This was what Zhan Lingfeng needed to know.
Cai Xiangzhi was indeed skilled in administration and had already considered various situations. She said to Zhan Lingfeng, "Your Highness, based on the information gathered, there are over seventeen thousand villages classified as poverty-stricken. Some villages fluctuate around the standard line and do not truly qualify as poverty-stricken."
Zhan Lingfeng nodded slightly and asked, "How many from Eastern County have proposed assistance?"
"The number of applicants has already exceeded thirty thousand. Everything has been stagnant because you have not arrived yet. However, from what we understand, various places across the country have started initiatives because of your situation; everyone is engaging in such efforts, so we cannot fall behind."
Zhan Lingfeng thought that even if others were doing this kind of work, he could still gain some merit from it since it was initiated by him. Therefore, allowing those below him to take action while he waited for opportunities to reap some benefits was acceptable.
"Well, you need to carefully select candidates, especially prioritizing those among them who have sustainable development plans. Remember, poverty alleviation cannot be completed overnight; if we do not provide the common people with sustainable development projects, then such poverty alleviation will only be temporary and undesirable."
"I understand. We will make sustainability a strict criterion."
Seeing that Cai Xiangzhi understood his intentions made Zhan Lingfeng happy. When he saw the other two women leave, he pulled Cai Xiangzhi into his arms and said, "You did well."
With a shy face, Cai Xiangzhi quickly glanced outside before jumping up to close the door. Then she eagerly said before Zhan Lingfeng could respond, "Your Highness, we haven't done that for a long time."
Laughing heartily, Zhan Lingfeng began to passionately engage with this beautiful woman.
It might be because she became a princess, but Cai Xiangzhi appeared very emotional and continuously engaged in fierce battles with Zhan Lingfeng.
Zhan Lingfeng's combat power was extraordinarily strong. Even when Cai Xiangzhi exerted all her strength and felt utterly exhausted, Zhan Lingfeng still seemed incredibly powerful.
"I can't go on anymore; should I call the sisters?"
However, Zhan Lingfeng did not respond and continued to fight.
In the end, it was only through Cai Xiangzhi's combined efforts that she managed to resolve the battle with Zhan Lingfeng.
Neither of them spoke as they lay there. Cai Xiangzhi said, "My lord, it feels like a dream."
She reached out and caressed his slick skin. Zhan Lingfeng replied, "Help me get things done, and I will take care of your Tribulation matters. Trust me; you will soon face another Tribulation."
Cai Xiangzhi was curious about this. The Three Sisters had no idea what that previous Tribulation was all about. From their understanding, when such a calamity arrived, it would be very difficult for them to survive. However, when Zhan Lingfeng hid them underground, the calamity did not strike them; it was all blocked by Zhan Lingfeng himself.
While basking in the golden light, they witnessed Zhan Lingfeng's Tribulation situation and realized that even the weakest type of calamity was something they could not withstand. Yet, what kind of methods did Zhan Lingfeng employ? Not only did he help them survive, but he also faced an even more formidable calamity himself and overcame it.
Although she wanted to ask about certain matters, Cai Xiangzhi understood everything very well. She knew that everyone had their own secrets, and Zhan Lingfeng had his as well. This was something she dared not inquire about.
Feeling Zhan Lingfeng's strength and reminiscing about the passionate moments they just shared, Cai Xiangzhi felt extremely fatigued. She decided not to think too much anymore and fell asleep in Zhan Lingfeng's embrace.
