Racing against time to build the house he had planned, he aimed to successfully defeat his opponent in the upcoming competition with Lin Shuhong.
Liu Qingxi was fervently overseeing the construction of the first house in the capital.
Meanwhile, at the Ministry of Works, Yang Yichen's New-Style Crossbow was being manufactured on a large scale.
After all, such a powerful weapon had caught the attention of ministers who had observed it that day. Dugu Han had specifically reminded them that this information must not be disclosed; otherwise, several neighboring countries eyeing Western Moon would not allow them to grow stronger.
The consequences for Western Moon could be imagined.
As the creator of this New-Style Crossbow, Yang Yichen received praise and rewards from Dugu Han, who entrusted him with full management of the manufacturing department.
Yang Yichen had clearly become a newly ignited eagle within the Ministry of Works. While his rivals looked on with envy and jealousy, they could not help but admire his abilities.
However, his direct superior, Liang Yujing, was not pleased. As a newly appointed Fifth Rank official, he had given Yang Yichen the favor of marrying his daughter to him.
Yet, Yang Yichen had outright rejected this offer in front of the Queen and all the officials, which left Liang Yujing unable to swallow his anger.
That day, Liang Shuer felt so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear into the ground, and Liang Yujing was not in a much better position.
Nevertheless, since Yang Yichen worked under him, various bizarre incidents always seemed to occur in his workplace.
Liang Yujing looked at Yang Yichen with disdain. He thought to himself that as an official, he couldn't openly act against him due to the Emperor's orders, but creating some difficulties for him would be easy.
Yang Yichen found it absurd; after all this time, had he ever suffered losses? No!
So why did Liang Yujing persistently seek trouble?
Some people's thought processes were simply hard to understand. However, such matters posed no harm to Yang Yichen at all.
In the Weapons Manufacturing Department, Yang Yichen diligently supervised everyone: "Everyone pay attention; these are weapons meant for the battlefield. They are used by our soldiers to fight and kill enemies. We must not be careless."
"Every weapon concerns the lives of countless soldiers. The farther the range is, the greater our soldiers' chances of survival."
In the large manufacturing facility, the officials and soldiers producing weapons wore serious expressions and moved with reverence. These were weapons concerning their fellow countrymen's lives; even if Yang Yichen were not present, they would not be negligent.
Fortunately, with Yang Yichen demonstrating on-site, they quickly grasped the key points. After understanding White Out, as production increased, they became more skilled in their work.
A month later, a large batch of secret weapons was secretly transported to the border, becoming the most lethal weapon for the Western Moon Kingdom in decades and marking a qualitative leap.
A month passes quickly, especially when one is busy, making every minute and second feel precious. Liu Qingxi was no exception.
When she issued a challenge to Lin Shuhong, she decisively began construction. In just a month, she purchased land, found workers, and trained them.
Fortunately, the workers Zhou found were very capable, surpassing the villagers of Ten Li Pu.
As for the location of the house? Liu Yi ultimately chose a site not far from where they lived, away from the bustling city center, located at the back of an alley.
The closer it was to the city wall, the further it was from the center of the capital, making it quieter.
Another reason they chose this place was its low profile; maintaining a low profile had always been Liu Qingxi's principle in her work.
Additionally, being close to home allowed them to work on construction during the day. In the evenings, Liu Yi and others split into two teams: one responsible for home security and the other for the safety of the house.
Moreover, during the construction process, no one who wasn't working was allowed inside.
Liu Qingxi aimed to keep her house absolutely confidential. In her previous life, although she preferred to avoid conflict and didn't want to overthink things, she had seen plenty of cases of plagiarism.
Therefore, protecting her intellectual property was crucial.
After a month, the outline of the house began to take shape. From a distance, its structure was unclear, but only Liu Qingxi understood it fully.
Meanwhile, ever since betting against Liu Qingxi, Lin Shuhong had been regretting whether he had lost his mind by betting against a young girl. He had never lost in all these years.
He didn't want to waste his time, but were things really as he thought? In Lin Shuhong's eyes, Liu Qingxi probably didn't even know what a house was anymore.
At this time, as the weather grew colder, the emerald leaves gradually turned yellow and danced lightly in the wind. In the morning, light clothing was replaced with slightly thicker autumn wear; autumn had deepened. Soon enough, various construction works would need to come to a halt.
When it gets cold, construction becomes impossible and significantly affects the durability of houses.
Thus, Liu Qingxi knew she had to complete the house before that time came.
While busy with her own matters, she also kept an eye on Lin Shuhong.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy ensures victory in every battle; she wasn't a frog at the bottom of a well nor would she be oblivious to her surroundings. She never underestimated any opponent.
During this time, the story about a bet between the Master Designer of the architecture world and a Girl spread throughout the streets of the capital, attracting a lot of attention.
For instance, Minister of Works Lin Shurong, who is now sixty years old, rarely participates in machinery manufacturing himself and mostly coordinates arrangements for those below him.
However, upon hearing about his disappointing cousin's actions, he was left speechless: "This person is really regressing as they age!"
On the other hand, he was quite intrigued by the girl who dared to accept the challenge.
Liu Qingxi had no idea that she was already being noticed, nor did she know that she would have unexpected interactions with this high-ranking official.
"Big Kid, stop and take a break; have something to eat before continuing," a woman in her twenties dressed in blue with yellow floral embroidery approached slowly, carrying a Basket. Soon enough, her cheerful voice rang out.
"Sister Zhou, what do we have to eat today?" It turned out that the woman was Zhou, who was very familiar with the workers on the construction site.
One important reason for this familiarity was that these workers were all recruited by her.
At that time, Liu Qingxi was overjoyed; those people looked like experts. Even if they weren't professionals, they had good character and strong learning abilities.
Because of this, Zhou took charge of providing food for everyone on the site. Besides lunch and dinner, she always prepared some snacks during breaks so that big Kid could fill her stomach first.
Of course, Liu Qingxi would never let Zhou work without compensation.
