It was clearly more beneficial to the Imperial Court for her to hand over the patent, but Bai Wutong was filled with consideration for her.

Zhao Lanzhi was extremely touched and couldn't help but sob. "Thank you, Great Empress... I... I'll definitely work hard to pay the tax!"

Bai Wutong was amused by her. Cui Lingyi wiped her tears. "You're right. Our goal should be to work hard to pay the taxes! If you open a workshop, I'll be the first to invest! If no one takes care of it, I'll send someone to take care of it!"

Cui Lingyi did not know much about business, but Sheng Huaixuan was an expert in this area. He was busy, but any shopkeeper under him could take charge alone.

Bai Wutong smiled and said, "If you invest, I'll also invest. How can the Great Empress not have private assets?"

Zhao Lanzhi was stunned. For a moment, the pressure on her increased greatly. She was afraid that she would implicate Bai Wutong and her teacher.

However, this was also a full affirmation of her ability. Zhao Lanzhi thanked her gratefully and swore that she would definitely run the workshop well.

.....

Lemon was good stuff. Bai Wutong directly asked the steward in charge of the Phoenix Tail Wine to buy all the lemons and arranged for them to be planted with other fruits.

As they continued forward, a stall selling buns was packed with people.

Lin Yue bought two hot buns and handed one to Qingfeng. Then, he saw Bai Wutong and Cui Lingyi.

Qingfeng handed the bun to Bai Wutong, who shook her head. "Lin Yue gave it to you. Eat it yourself. I'll get someone to buy it."

Qingfeng nodded and took a bite of the bun under Lin Yue's expectant gaze.

The skin of the bun was soft and fermented just right. Inside was pure fish meat with delicious juice. It tasted quite good.

After a while, the servants bought buns and handed them to Bai Wutong. Even the Great Empress patronized them, so the bun stall's business became even better.

Bai Wutong held the bun, filled with thoughts, and asked the accompanying official, "Who is the owner of the bun stall?"

The official hurriedly said, "The stall is registered under a female worker called Tian Fanghua."

Bai Wutong continued to ask, "How long has it been since her bun stall was opened?"

The official said, "She comes almost every day. If she can't come because she's working, she would ask her family to take turns."

Bai Wutong said, "Go and report the situation of this family and the daughter and son-in-law of this family to me."

As soon as these words were spoken, the official immediately thought of something unusual. However, he could not care less and hurriedly gave the order.

Bai Wutong and Cui Lingyi sat under a pergola and drank sour plum juice. After a long time, the official respectfully handed over the information he had found.

Bai Wutong looked at the names on the list one by one. Soon, she saw a familiar name.

Bai Wutong's expression was solemn. Since it involved political matters, Cui Lingyi could not ask further. She heard Bai Wutong sneer, "How brazen of them?"
