Chapter 1135 - 84: Ascending to Sacred Body! Wang Shouzhe's Transformation_4

During this period, that old man, Wang Yinda, had been coming to chat with him with or without reason, and that old boy, Dede, kept calling Yong'an to go fishing with him. Wasn't it just because they were afraid that he would harm Wang Shouzhe in private?

Prince De Xin was filled with indescribable fury and unwillingness, almost wishing he could rush to Changning Fort in Longzuo County personally and kill Wang Shouzhe. But he was clear that this was something he couldn't possibly do.

Moreover, that old coot, Enlightened One Tianhe, was making money by working for the Wang family every day.

As of today, he no longer had the luxury to act rashly. Instead of keeping a death grip on Wang Shouzhe, it was better to lie low and wait for the right moment.

The power he could wield had dwindled considerably. With every bit he used, he had less remaining. Coming up next, he had to deal with Wu Mingyuan, and really couldn't afford to waste any more.

Closing his eyes, Prince De Xin gritted his teeth and gave the order, "Pass down my command, cancel the next step of the plan, withdraw all personnel, and lay low for now. Wait for my next command."

"Yes."

The old butler immediately took the order and left.

The head of household was like someone who had been granted amnesty and quickly retreated as well.

Prince De Xin didn't concern himself with them and, staring into the void, his eyes sparkled with a sinister gleam.

Although the plan against Wang Shouzhe failed, it was, after all, not crucial. The upcoming plan against Wu Mingyuan was the top priority and couldn't afford any mistakes.

This time, he would definitely consider every detail thoroughly and not give Wu Mingyuan any chance of survival!

…

Putting aside the arrangements and plans on Prince De Xin's side, Wang Shouzhe was not affected in the slightest. After that initial battle, the flying carriage proceeded smoothly, stopping here and there along the way.

Several days later.

The flying carriage arrived at the Wang family's main residence in Ping'an Town.

At nearly the same time, another flying carriage also returned to the Wang family, carrying five plump and round little wolf cubs. Also alighting were a thoroughly exhausted Old Ancestor Xiao Han and Wang Shoulian.

The mischief of the five little ones on the road had almost reduced those two to tears.

Upon arrival at the main residence, they called over Wang Shouzhe and his wife, who had not yet had a chance to reunite, without regard for their appearance.

When the little wolf cubs were first brought from the Imperial Palace to the Wang family's main residence, they clearly recognized Wang Shouzhe and behaved very well, trying to please him—no doubt Wang Shouzhe was the only one who could control them.

However, the situation turned out to be completely unexpected for the two men.

Whether Wang Shouzhe could control them was yet to be seen. It was Liu Ruolan who, as soon as the five little ones saw her, frightened them into being "as still as wooden dogs," turning extremely docile all at once. When Liu Ruolan directed them east, they strictly did not dare to go west.

Seeing through that, Xiao Han, the Old Ancestor, and Wang Shouzhe, among others, were caught between laughter and tears.

Clearly, it must have been Lici, the eldest girl, who during her training session with the wolf cubs, had taught them who in the family could be messed with and who could not, perhaps even drawing portraits for them to recognize.

Old Ancestor Xiao Han and Wang Shoulian obviously fell under those easily provoked. Wang Shouzhe was deemed as not to be provoked, belonging to the Great Demon King level, but Liu Ruolan was different. In Lici's heart, she must be considered not only someone who couldn't be provoked but also someone who must be utterly obeyed and pleased.

Thus, the little wolf cubs, which were mischievous in front of others, were as obedient as pet dogs in front of Liu Ruolan.

Following that naturally, the five little wolf cubs, along with a newly adopted giant earth bear, were taken by Liu Ruolan for a period of training, allowing them to familiarize themselves with the rules of the Wang family.

And then, unsurprisingly, they were also sent off to the Clan School.

By now, Liu Ruolan's obsession with education had developed to the extent that every member of the family had to attend Clan School to learn, regardless of whether you were a bird, a bear, a dragon, or even a rabbit…

In short, not studying was utterly out of the question.

While Liu Ruolan, as the Wang family's matriarch, was busy shaping the new family members and managing various internal affairs, Wang Shouzhe, after a few days of rest, also began gathering family members to start implementing the "Longzuo County Comprehensive Development Plan."

This plan was very complex, including the construction of major water conservancy projects in the middle and lower reaches of Peace River, the Longzuo County internal canal and flood storage project, and comprehensive promotion of the Wang family's grain varieties, as well as further development plans for foreign territories, among others.

A significant number of basic infrastructure constructions naturally required enormous investment and would take a long time to complete. However, once these projects were successful, they would greatly reduce the frequent water disasters in the middle and lower reaches of Peace River and substantially increase the transportation capacity of bulk goods.

At that time, the entire economic base of Longzuo County would leap forward significantly, and the Wang family would rise to the next level.

Family development was never something that could be achieved overnight, but required the concerted efforts of all family members, step by step, gradually making progress.

Now that the struggle for the position of Emperor's son had come to a close, the Wang family could finally remove distractions and develop steadily. In the next phase, the Wang family would once again enter a period of rapid development.

…

Time passed swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, about thirty years had flown by.

The time came to the spring of the year 3248 in the Longchang era.

During these thirty years, apart from An Commandery Prince successfully ascending to the position of Emperor's son, becoming the widely praised "Emperor Zi'an," there were no significant events.

Since Emperor Zi'an became regent, with the help of a full state treasury replenished by taxes, as well as local and fort treasuries, he vigorously developed internal affairs construction. Over these thirty years, the overall economic strength of Da Qian Land steadily increased, giving a sense of prospering as vibrantly as the rising sun.
