Chapter 360 Careful Furong
Mr. Cai never expected that Ye Jintang was actually a person of action. Someone asked about the appointment of officials in the morning, and she had prepared the list in the evening. Not everyone has this kind of action ability.
After some discussion in the study, three appointment documents were stamped with the palace seal and would be sent out early the next morning.
It was already late at night when all this was done. Ye Jintang looked at these elderly advisers who were still busy with government affairs late at night, so he immediately asked people to prepare some easily digestible snacks, and also asked someone to bring thicker cloaks and send the advisers back.
These things may seem insignificant, but they are also a token of Ye Jintang’s thoughtfulness.
The counselors were kind-hearted people and were deeply moved by Ye Jintang's kindness.
"Lord Cai, you always said that the princess is a person of great talent. Today, I really understand."
Mr. Xu tightened his cloak and his beard seemed to be laughing so hard that it flew up to the sky.
"The princess gave you a box of snacks, and you were bribed?"
Lord Cai looked at Lord Xu with a smiling face. Both of them were capable people, but unfortunately they had been frustrated for many years.
"How could that be? I just sighed because I saw that the princess is so good at dealing with people and the ways of the world."
Mr. Cai nodded slightly and laughed softly.
"When I first met the princess, I just thought she was a young girl who knew nothing about the world. Her family had suffered a great disaster, and she had no parents to take care of her. She was treated as a pawn and married into the Qin Palace."
"At the time, I thought it was a pity that the King of Qin couldn't find a Yue family that could help him."
"Later, the princess held a banquet that caused a sensation in the capital. I realized that I underestimated the princess."
"Later, when I came all the way from the capital to Ningchuan City, I completely understood that our princess was truly extraordinary. As long as she is around, it is only a matter of time before the prince wants to become the emperor."
"Mr. Cai is right. When the prince was first injured, I was really desperate. It was the princess who gave me hope again."
"Who says it isn't?"
Anyone who can serve as a counselor in the Prince of Qin's Palace is a thousand-year-old fox. They all agree with Ye Jintang, and naturally other officials in the city will not have any opposition voices.
In just a few days, Ye Jintang was in power. Even if some people were dissatisfied with her appointment of officials, they only dared to mutter a few words in private and did not dare to say it openly.
Ye Jintang had been sending people to keep an eye on the movements of officials in the city, and she was very satisfied with the result.
She is not a gold ingot and cannot be loved by everyone, but she is already satisfied as long as those who have different opinions do not come to her and make trouble for her.
As expected, whoever has the stronger fist will live a comfortable life.
Ye Jintang is one step closer to her dream.
It was another busy morning. Ye Jintang met many people and talked a lot. He was busy like a top.
Only after lunch did she have time to come and see Master Mu.
The elixir of life pills has not been produced yet, and there are still a large number of medicinal materials that have not been purified. Ye Jintang has no time to keep an eye on them and can only rely on Master Mu for the time being.
"Jintang, you are so busy, why don't you put the matter of the longevity pill aside for now? With so many medicinal materials to be purified, I guess you will be busy for a while."
"I can't let go. I'm still waiting for the longevity pills to help the prince cure his leg disease."
"The Changsheng Pill is a pill for nourishing the body. Your Majesty is poisoned, which is why his legs are weak. This is not the right medicine, is it?"
Master Mu looked at Ye Jintang with confusion.
"There is nothing we can do for now. The poison in the prince is too strong. I have given him many medicines, but they cannot make him fully healed in a short period of time. Now I can only try the longevity pills."
"Then don't hold out too much hope. For now, just use it as medicine to heal the prince."
"Ah."
After telling Master Mu about the progress of making the elixir, Ye Jintang went to the yard that specialized in purifying medicinal materials to check.
Furong, Liuyue and other girls who were rescued from the farm last time are here to help temporarily.
Their injuries were mostly healed and they didn't want to be freeloaders anymore, so they took the initiative to find Ye Jintang and asked her to help find them a job.
Considering that they were still a little weak and could not do physical work for the time being, Ye Jintang asked them to help purify the medicinal materials.
There are many methods to purify medicinal materials. The most commonly used methods by Ye Jintang are distillation and decoction.
The decoction method is quite labor-intensive, as the herbs need to be crushed and then placed in a large clay pot and boiled continuously. During this time, someone needs to stir the medicine juice in the pot to prevent the herbs from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Generally, this job is assigned to women who are stronger in body and have the strength to stir the medicinal juice in the clay pot.
The distillation method is to put the medicinal materials in a special giant ceramic pot, fill it with water that can be boiled for at least three days, and boil it continuously for three days, collecting the medicinal juice extracted by water vapor.
The distillation method only requires watching the fire and making sure it is not too high. This job is relatively light and is usually done by young girls.
When Ye Jintang came over, June, Furong and a few little girls were adding water to a large earthenware pot. They had just boiled a pot of medicinal herbs.
Ye Jintang didn't say anything. She just watched them talking and laughing, and working skillfully. A smile also appeared on her face.
After the crushed medicinal materials are washed, they are all poured into the steamer.
"Sister, wait a minute. Why do I feel like the herbs smell wrong?"
Furong stopped June who was pouring medicinal herbs.
"Uh, why is that wrong? They all look the same to me."
June was holding a bamboo-flat nine-red ginseng in her hand. The thumb-thick nine-red ginseng was cut into small slices, each of which was bright red and obviously high-quality ginseng.
"I've been smelling the scent of Nine Red Ginseng for several days, it's definitely right."
Furong took the bamboo basket from June's hand and carefully examined the slices of nine-red ginseng inside.
She even took out some of the colors she felt were wrong to check.
"Those who cut the Nine-Red Ginseng are all veterans, how could they have made a mistake? Furong, did you smell it wrong?"
"How can it be."
Furong was worried that there might be bad herbs mixed in, so she was very persistent and determined to find out what the problem was.
After picking out several pieces of nine-red ginseng, Furong finally found the problem.
"Look, sister, this color of Nine Red Ginseng is different from what we usually use."
Furong handed a piece of nine-red ginseng that she had picked out to June, and June compared it with the ginseng and it was really...
"It doesn't look like bad Nine Red Ginseng to me. It shouldn't be a big problem if they taste different."
June only looked at the appearance. The nine-red ginseng picked out by Furong seemed to be darker in color and harder in texture. The ginseng flesh inside looked as shiny as a ruby.
Other than that, she couldn't tell any difference.
"It's definitely different. The one I picked out is much better than the one in the bamboo flat. It smells more flavorful."
When June heard Furong say this, she silently rolled her eyes at her.
"According to what you said, the two kinds of nine-red ginseng just taste different, not that one of them is bad. Then why did you pick them out? They are both good. Isn't it a waste of time to toss them around for so long?"
