Liu Residence

　　Over the next several days in the Imperial City, the Imperial Granaries where opened, but the City remained sealed. No one was allowed to enter or exit the Imperial City. This made Liu Ti醤 Q� determine that in the future, it would be best for her to become self-sufficient. She also decided that in the future, she would build a massive storage facility in Liu Residence.

　　Liu Ti醤 Q� also decided she would have an enormous storage facility built in the garrison she was having Commander Jiang design and build. Although Liu Ti醤 Q� didn`t study history in-depth. She was a bit knowledgeable about certain aspects of history. If there was one thing she knew, it was that there were always droughts or famines in history.

　　Due to the sealing of the Imperial City, there was a food shortage. So the Imperial Granaries were opened to solve that problem. Liu Ti醤 Q� also realize how far things have deviated from the memories of the new owner.

　　Over the past few days, Commander Jiang had been going out to investigate in between his duties of preparing to secure the residence. Commander Jiang would bring back all the news and information he would find out throughout the day.

　　Although Liu Ti醤 Q� knew major corruption was going on. The extent to which the corruption had grown had shocked her silly. Never in a million years would she had guessed things were so bad. Yesterday morning Liu Ti醤 Q� went over to Wang Royal Manor to speak with Wang F鑞 Y襫g. It was only then she found out from the Wang Royal Manor guard she met on her first visit just how bad things really got.

　　Because the Imperial City was sealed, and everyone forced to stay indoors on the first night. Not many people knew that the Emperor was not in the Imperial City. Not many people realize or even know just how bad the situation has gotten.

　　Liu Ti醤 Q� was still shocked over just how bold Josper was to do a stealthy invasion to steal the Tolling Lands resources. This was an operation that has been in function for years. That means that the Prince of Jing of Josper, Leandore, and God knows how many others. At will, these people have been trotting in and out of the Tolling Lands doing whatever they wanted. How bold.

　　However, Liu Ti醤 Q� had her own worries. Over that past few days, she began taking the strengthen potions and working out. Three times a day, she had to run off to the kitchen to given the chef`s pointers. Liu Ti醤 Q� also sent Butler Zhou out to hire three tutors at the Tolling Lands Imperial Academy of Scholars two days ago.

　　One tutor would come once a day. Three classes a day was held for all the servant in the residence. Once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once in the evening. This gave all the servants a chance to attend at least once class.

　　Each class held lessons on reading, writing, and sums. Then at night Liu Ti醤 Q� taught sign language classes to Zhou Y�, Butler Zhou, Housekeeper Gao, and strange enough when Commander Jiang and his wife heard about the class they came along as well. The other person was SMng H� P韓g, who was SMng Sh� sister.Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author`s consent. Report any sightings.

　　Although SMng H� P韓g was still too ill to work her brother SMng Sh� insist that she go to class and learn so she will able to communicate with her superior properly. Liu Ti醤 Q� had a lot on her plate with getting the residence, and everyone in it settled.

　　One of Liu Ti醤 Q� happiest moments during that period of time was when the peddler finally arrived to delivery her merchandise she purchase from him. Liu Ti醤 Q� had detained the peddler to see if he had any Nadelineian wine for sale. Liu Ti醤 Q� couldn`t find any for sale in the whole of the Imperial City.

　　Of course, there were private collectors and wealthy families who had some. However, it was for their own personal consumption, not for sale. So Liu Ti醤 Q� thought she would have a little luck with the peddler who sold unique items.

　　Unfortunately, the peddler was an avid drinker of Nadelineian wine. He drank all his stock before he had a chance to sell it. The silver lining in the cloud was that he was a walking talking encyclopedia regarding Nadelineian wine. Liu Ti醤 Q� treated the peddler to lunch and spent a whole afternoon picking his brains.

　　To compensate the peddler for his time. Liu Ti醤 Q� went on a shopping spree and purchased more of the peddler`s goods. However, during her shopping, spree Liu Ti醤 Q� began to realize the usefulness of most of the goods the peddler was selling.

　　Liu Ti醤 Q� also noticed that just about all of the items that the peddler was selling were rare and unique items. Some even seemed a bit priceless to Liu Ti醤 Q�. Inwardly it made Liu Ti醤 Q� question how the peddler was able to get his hands on the items he sold and how was he able to sell it at such a reasonable price.

　　However, what Liu Ti醤 Q� didn`t realize was what she considered a reasonable price, was a fortune to others. There was a vast difference in the value of the gold in the tolling lands. Compare to the 21st Century were Liu Ti醤 Q� was from.

　　Only the extremely prosperous households in the Tolling Lands possessed over three hundred thousand gold. Even the Households that had less than half that amount of gold was considered very wealthy. Of course you had the 1% class that had several million of gold. However, in the Tolling Lands the 1% class was less that 1%.

　　Liu Ti醤 Q� had yet to learn of the value of the gold that was in her possession.

　　Commoners could live off one gold for many years if they budgeted it correctly. The value of the silver and gold in the Tolling Lands was exceptionally high. The Tolling Lands was an extraordinarily rich country.

　　Liu Ti醤 Q� got serious and really began to do some shopping. She bought so many things from the peddler she used up just about all the money she had on hand. She was really hoping the Emperor would come pay her for Veiled Mountain soon, or she was going to be in trouble.

　　When Liu Ti醤 Q� realized the usefulness of the many things, the peddler was selling. Liu Ti醤 Q� couldn`t bare to allow them to escape her grasp. The good thing was Liu Ti醤 Q� had already given Butler Zhou and Housekeeper Gao a large amount of gold for the residence` daily expenditures. So Liu Ti醤 Q� didn`t have to worry about the daily expense for the residence.

　　A very happy smiling peddler left Liu Ti醤 Q� residence. Liu Ti醤 Q� made sure to tell the peddler that anytime he returned to the Tolling Lands to come see her first so she could have first pick of all the rare, unique, and practically priceless things he was selling. She also told him she would save wine for him. Liu Ti醤 Q� gave him a standing invitation to stay in her residence whenever he visited the Tolling Lands.

　　Liu Ti醤 Q� wasn`t the only one doing shopping sprees. Over the past several days, Housekeeper Gao had went on a hiring spree. The servants of Liu Ti醤 Q� residence now numbered over three hundred and eighty.
