In November, I secured my first investment.

Miss Zhang from the Prime Minister's family donated 100,000 taels, while the Princess of Huian donated 1,000,000 taels.

I had a plaque with the words "Great Benefactor of the People" carried around the capital city, reading out their names as we circled.

The next day, many prominent families contacted me, wanting to donate.

I directly erected a stone tablet in front of the Benefactor Hall, densely inscribed with the names of the donors.

With the money in hand, the most crucial task now was to find a way out for them.

The young and strong could be sent to the military camps, children, regardless of gender, would go to school, if schools wouldn't take them, we'd build our own and invite teachers to give lessons at their homes.

The elderly could just bask in the sun.

The most challenging group for me were the homeless women.

Due to prejudice, society deemed them inferior to men, and many shops didn't allow women to work.

But letting them idle away wasn't the best solution either.

Fortunately, I wasn't like everyone else.

Back at home, I pulled out a wooden box from under the bed.

It contained many strange things.

"Postpartum Care for Sows," "How to Make Mapo Tofu," "Fruit Tree Planting and Pest Control"...

"Encyclopedia of World Weapons," "Theory and Practice of Modern Warfare," hmm, these two can go to Uncle.

"Eight Treasures from One Pregnancy, CEO Husband is Too Difficult to Handle," um... I'll read this one myself.

All of these were insights gleaned from the tasks of time-traveling women, which I secretly recorded.

I took out the ones I could use, planning to teach according to their abilities tomorrow, to help those women find a way out.

"Sure enough, Yan has been lying to me all along!"

Suddenly appearing in the room, Gu Yingshao startled me!

"What are you doing here! I've already done what I promised you!"

"Yan, don't be nervous, I won't harm you. Su Jinshu is just a waste, there's hardly anything in his head, he's of no help to our grand plan."

He took the "Encyclopedia of World Weapons" from my desk and started reading it with relish: "Yan, you're not being good, keeping such good stuff hidden from me, you deserve punishment!"

His slender fingers rubbed my chin, his leisurely demeanor as if he was admiring a piece of art.

"Is your leg okay?"

He moved closer to me: "Yan, your little tricks can't fool me!"

He knew I was the one who blew up the glass factory!
