After My Inner Thoughts Were Exposed: All Officials in Court Love to Gossip

Ji Yingying transmigrated into the family of a ninth-rank sesame official in the Tianyou Dynasty. With loving parents and harmonious siblings, she originally lived a happy, carefree life of idly go...

Chapter 223: Watching Bugs

"Hehe, Your Majesty, I just want to see if the people are living well!"

"Then tell me, are the people living well?" The emperor had indeed received news that she had done a lot of good things.

"It's good. I saw that the farmer had planted a field of corn, and the compost was also very good. He also had several fields of sweet potatoes." Sorry, she didn't know how many acres they had planted, so she could only express it in electric fields.

After all, he was caught before he even asked!

"We planted too many sweet potatoes, so we kept a plot of land for the leaves to eat, and planted sweet potatoes on the rest."

"Sweet potatoes are growing well, not to mention corn. It's normal to get two bags of corn per head, and sometimes three bags."

"Also, bicycles are already being sold in the area near Haixiang Kingdom, but there are some issues with the pricing. The Ministry of Revenue should standardize the sales."

"The down jacket factory is now rushing to produce summer sportswear in red, yellow, black, and white. They've already started selling in Fengcheng. I bought a set. The quality is very good, and the price is pretty standard."

"This year, clothing and food are quite good, but drinking, housing, and health are not so good."

The emperor was very satisfied with the food and clothing, but the travel aspect still couldn't keep up and needed improvement.

"Then tell me how to deal with food, shelter, and disease? And what about the military?"

"Ah... well, I haven't thought about that yet. As for water, you have to boil it before drinking it. I've noticed that many people just drink it raw. I even met someone who died from stomach pain. This is actually preventable."

"Death from stomachache...many people die from stomachache every year. Can this really be cured?"

"Yes, boil the water. Heat it up. Do you know why?"

"Tell me!" Everyone wanted to know the reason.

"It's naturally caused by drinking water. In the summer, when the weather is hot, everyone chooses to drink raw water to cool down. But raw water happens to contain a lot of bacteria and fungi. Let me do an experiment for you."

I happen to have a set of tools in my storage space that can clearly see bacteria.

"I'll get it. It's in the bag outside."

Where can I find a bag outside? That's just an excuse, a lie.

Everyone knew the truth, but no one dared to say a word.

Not long after, Ji Yingying came back with a set of experimental equipment: "Here, give me some of the unboiled water."

After Ji Yingying finished, she asked them to observe it under a microscope. There were indeed many wriggling worms inside, which could not be seen at all without the microscope.

"How was it? Was it scary? Will you dare to drink raw water again?"

"If this water is not drinkable, what should we drink?"

"Boil it. Boil a cup now, and then you can see it." Ji Yingying arranged for someone to boil it. Soon after the hot water cooled down, no bacteria could be seen when it was placed on the surface.

"Is it cooked now?"

"Boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius will kill the bacteria. In any case, it's better to drink hot water. If it's too hot, you can boil it in the morning and let it cool before drinking. If you have a cup..."

That old kettle...

"You can leave the thermos in overnight and the water will still be hot the next morning."

"Then do you have this thermos?" the prince asked immediately, a little anxious.

"I didn't."

[I don't even need this thing anymore, where can I get it? ]

I think you should drink less mineral water and less carbonated drinks; you're still a child!

No, I'm a grown-up child.

"Yingying, since you know what a thermos looks like, why don't you draw it? Maybe the Ministry of Works can make it."

Minister Gong felt a chill run down his spine!

[This old man is really daring. I don't even know how a kettle works; I only know its shape.]

[Host, you might as well just draw one for them; you can't make one anyway.]

"Okay!" This clearly indicates agreement.

"Then I'll draw it for you guys tomorrow when I have time. Never mind, grab some paper and pen, I'll draw it now."

Eunuch Cao immediately went to get paper and pen, and Ji Yingying drew a simple one.

"Iron? Should it be? No, it should be glass. Oh, I don't know. I've never used this thing. I just saw it in a book."

[I almost let it slip. I've used it, but I haven't studied it. I don't know if it's made of glass or iron.]

Is it possible that it's made of glass and iron together? Is the glass the inner liner and the iron the outer layer?

Hehe, I really don't understand.

"Your Majesty, look, this is how it is. I don't know the specifics of how to do it."

Ji Yingying put away the microscope. This thing had to stay in her space.

"Now that we've solved the drinking problem, what about lodging?"

"Do we still need to solve the housing problem? Can't we use the house in Youzhou City? We can just copy it over there."

The houses in Youzhou City were built by her; it's not bad to just copy and paste them.

Ji Yingying yawned. She felt sleepy! She felt sleepy!

"What about the army?" The Emperor pretended not to see her yawn, wanting to get to the bottom of things once and for all, lest she give up and do nothing again.

"The army? What could possibly happen to the army?"

"Yes, there is a method left by Minister Mu. He said that Minister Mu had a way to deal with it."

"Hehe, I didn't." Ji Yingying smiled slightly: [I'm not a police officer, how would I know about military matters? I don't understand!]

"Your Majesty, I am sleepy. May I go back and take a nap?" He yawned again after saying that, showing that he was really sleepy.

The emperor was about to agree when he was stopped by the prince.

"Sister Yingying has just returned. Why don't you take a pulse for Father? Sister Yingying's medical skills are quite good."

"What the heck?"

Ji Yingying couldn't believe what he said. Please check Ping's pulse. Aren't there enough doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau for the emperor?

"Please let Sister Yingying take a look at Father Emperor."

Ji Yingying: ………

"Okay, reach out!"

Ji Yingying took the Emperor's pulse.

[It really is poisoning!]

[Yeah, yeah, guess who poisoned him? ]

It wasn't me anyway!

[Isn't that obvious? You poisoned him, do you want to seize the throne?]

What would I do with this thing? I can't eat it or play with it.

[Tell me quickly, who poisoned him, and who was it? If they don't come back, he probably won't live past the end of the year.]

Isn't there a new arrival in the harem? It's because of the newcomers. Otherwise, it's just his concubines who are always playing dirty and have no ambition at all. In the past six months, only Concubine Xiao and Concubine Huang have any interest in palace fighting. The others just play cards, eat, drink and have fun all day. She is the woman who truly relies on her husband to play dirty.

[Hehe...] Ji Yingying almost burst out laughing. It's true, the harem really knows how to slack off!

"Then who do you think it is?"

There are too many people coming in, I don't know either. I'll find out when I see them later. By the way, can you save them? If you can't, then we'll just have to wait for the feast. One feast for the Emperor's funeral, another for the Crown Prince's ascension, not bad, not bad.
