Lie Fan: "I have researched details about improving the quality of copper mirror since last year so we can see our face more clearly, I have make some good quality wine that the market going to love either noble and peasants, and lastly I have found a way to make an more efficeint technique that harvest salt so Huai'An can sell salt!"

Yu Yan: "Fan'er if what you said about the copper mirror and the wine is true then thats great but have you forgotten that the only one who can sell salt is licensed merchant that granted by Imperial Court? "

Lie Fan: "Ah I forgot about that mother, maybe we can just sell the copper mirror and the wine first while the salt will be on hold until further notice. I will send the paper containing the plan for copper mirror and wine to you tomorrow"

Yu Yan: "Okay then Fan'er let mother see the plan first, if its good then mother will contact our own private workshop and distillery to produce them. "

Lie Fan: "Thats great Mother! then I'm entrusting all of this to you Mother, maybe we can even restart your merchant caravan so our clan can have more money!"

Lie Fan and Yu Yan continue discussing about the pros and cons. When Yu Yan said that its going to need a sum of money, Lie Fan said he will take care of it with plundering bandits and take all the money they have while at the same time making Huai'An more safe.

While discussing with his mother, Lie Fan realise that he needs more men as 50 guards alongside Chao Bo and Chao Bai taking on big group of bandits can lead to many of his guards injured so after discussing with his mother he will ask some men from the city army from his father.

After saying goodbye to his mother, Lie Fan walk towards his father study room to speak with him. While walking there he saw his sister is playing in the garden with Ying Yue and some maids, He stop for a while watching them play with a smile not knowing that Ying Yue already saw him but to shy to say hello thanks to Lie Fan teasing her before.

Wannian: " Sister Yue why does your face turn red? are you tired from playing with me? >_<"

Ying Yue: "Wha-What?! No no Sister will never be tired playing with Nian'er, Sister feels hot thats why sister face turn red!"

Lie Fan hearing and seeing this laugh out loud as he know the reason why Ying Yue act like that, Wannian hearing her Big Bro laugh turn around and saw him which she then run towards him to hug him while asking him to play with her.

While Lie Fan wants to play with his sister, there are urgent things he need to so he declined his sister invitation while promising her that he will play with her tomorrow. Seeing that her brother says no, Wannian throw cute little tantrum in which she run towards her play room followed by the other maids and Ying Yue who wants to follow is stopped by Lie Fan and hugged by him

Lie Fan: "Yue'er doesn't need to follow Nian'er, stay with me here for a minute"

while saying that he blow Ying Yue ear, tickling her and making her turn red like a ripe tomato

Ying Yue: "Young Mas- I Mean Husband release me first what if Madam and Master saw us!"

Lie Fan: "Its better if they saw us! then I can tell them youre going to be my wife Haha!"

While Lie Fan and Ying Yue is flirting and hugging, they doesn't realise that Lie Shang is passing by and shocked by what he saw then hurriedly proceed to his study ehile thinking its good to be young

After spending some time with Ying Yue to improve their affection, Lie Fan says goodbye to Ying Yue and proceed toward his Fathers studies not knowing that his father saw him and Ying Yue

Entering his father studies room, he saw his father sitting on his chair holding some scroll but looking outside.

Lie Fan: "Father! Are you okay? something on your mind?"

Lie Shang: "Huh! Oh no Son *Ahem* its nothing just thinking the weather outside is good today, what makes you come see me?"

Lie Fan: "I want to ask some of your soldiers father, maybe 50 to 100 Men to help me eradicate the bandits near Huai'An and the surrounding area"

Lie Shang: "Why do you need that many? 50 guards alongside Chao Bo and Chao Bai is enaough for you to handle small to middle sized bandit groups near Huai'An"

Lie Fan: "I want to eradicate the big groups to father, while eradicating this bandits can make Huai'An safer we can have more money from those bandits loots that can be used to invest in some project that Mother and I working on."

Lie Shang: "I see Hmm..., Okay I will give you 100 Men from the northern army camp take this token with you ti retrieve them, they are still some fresh soldiers so please train them for me while at it Haha!"

Lie Fan: "Will do Father! Thankyou for accepting my request!"

Lie Shang:" A Father have to always support his son doing good things Fan'er, you will understand this feeling when you become a Father" *smirk*

Sawing his Father weird smile, Lie Fan is confused but just accept it as his father reminicing some old memories. Saying goodbye to his father, Lie Fan hurriedly go to the Stable to retrieve his horse Pangu and ride it towards the Northern Army Camp.

On the way there many people of Huai'An saw him and bow to him with respect saying hello to him, this show that he is revered and respected because of eradicating the bandit group and patrolling the city to keep it safe.

Arriving at Northern Army Camp, Lie Fan enter the camp after showing the token his father gave to him and ask where is the commander of the Northern Army is in which he was taken to the main tent by the guards.

Entering the tent he saw an 40 years old Man wearing an armor is studying a map.

Lie Fan: "Hello Commander, I'm Lie Fan son of Lie Shang the Prefect of Huai'An"

Commander: "Ah Hello Young Lord! I'm Lu Xiao commander of Northern Army, what brings you to this humble tent"

Lie Fan: "I'm Here to take 100 Men that was assigned by my Father to me, here is the token in which my father gave me to show that I have the permission to do that"

Receiving the token, Lu Xiao inspect it to check if its real or a counterfeit just because Lie Fan is the son of his lord doesnt mean he will give soldiers just like that to him. After checking it and found that the token is real he escor Lie Fan towards the barracks where he can choose the 100 Men from the newbie barracks

Lu Xiao: "You can choose the 100 men personally Young Lord, outside of this barracks is prohibited to be choosen."

Lie Fan: "Of Course thank you Commander Lu"

Lie Fan began to check the soldiers one by one, checking their identities with Sun Tzu help while he can still only check name and origins as attribute is still locked until he reached certain conditions making Lie Fan angry and sad at the same time.
