Chapter 66 Zhou Pa Pi
Jing Chengji held the book in his hands with care, thinking, if I hadn't known this earlier, I would have been fooled by Han'er.
Despite this, Jing Chengji was full of anticipation.
She flipped through it briefly, and her expression changed from feigned surprise to genuine surprise, and then to stunned amazement.
What did she see, the salt-making process?
As we all know, the salt grains in ancient times were large and yellow. Although ordinary people were not allowed to make and sell salt privately, only shops with official permission were allowed to sell it.
Salt is an indispensable substance for the human body.
However, the method of making salt was actually in the hands of the aristocratic families.
But things are different now. If what is said in the book is true, not only can the people buy cheap salt, but the aristocratic families will no longer be able to monopolize the salt-making method.
With a better and higher-yielding method for making salt, who would still be controlled by aristocratic families?
Although Jing Chengji is the emperor, the prescription is his private property and she cannot take something from someone else.
Of course, if Jing Chengji was a tyrant, that would be a different matter. He would have nothing he wanted, and if he didn't give it to him, he would just find a random excuse to confiscate his property.
It is happy, but the happy days will not last long.
In addition to salt making, there is also soap and perfume purification, if these are not enough to shock Jing Chengji.
There is also alcohol purification, and even the function is written on it.
The most feared thing in war is not getting injured, but dying from wound infection.
Jing Chengji could imagine that after the alcohol was purified, the death rate of the soldiers in her army would not be so high.
Each of the five recipes has its own method and effect written down.
Perfumes and soaps can make money, so it's easy to imagine they're very popular.
Cement, salt making, and alcohol purification are all things of great use to the country.
Jing Chengji thought shamelessly at this moment that it was fortunate that her daughter was divided into two parts in two worlds, so that she could get these precious prescriptions today.
Jing Chengji clapped his hands on the imperial desk and praised loudly.
"Okay, okay, my daughter has done a great deed. Han'er, tell me what reward you want, and I'll agree to it."
Jing Chengji was very high-spirited when he said this.
Jinghan's eyes lit up.
"Mom, I want to rest for a few days."
Jing Chengji slowly retracted his smile and said lightly.
"no."
Jing Han looked at Jing Chengji accusingly.
Jing Chengji touched the tip of his nose guiltily, "Okay then, you can take a break today and continue tomorrow!"
Jinghan estimated the time and it was almost noon, so he took a break for half a day.
She was right.
[My mother is really a Zhou Pa Pi, oh, her name is Jing Pa Pi! ]
Jing Chengji: Just skin me alive, there is no way I can rest anyway.
Jing Chengji spoke earnestly.
"Han'er, you are at the age when you should be working hard, how can you sleep?"
Jinghan pointed at himself, me?
"Mom, I'm still growing."
[Tongzi, I suspect my mother traveled through time. Otherwise, how could she have said that my age is the right time to work hard?!]
[No, your mother really thinks you should work hard at your age!]
If that's the case, then fifty is the perfect time to strive for success. I've decided to urge my mother to work hard every day!
Jing Chengji had a bad feeling in his heart.
Jinghan's heart is full of "malice".
[Just wait, mother, I will definitely supervise you! ]
Jing Chengji wanted to say, turn Tiangang around, turn Tiangang around.
Zhuge Ming and others didn't need to say anything. They just found it very entertaining to watch Jing Chengji and Jing Han, mother and daughter, quarreling.
In their hearts, the majestic emperor actually has such a childish side.
The relationship between Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess and His Majesty is like that of an ordinary mother and daughter. No wonder Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess said that in another timeline, His Majesty's health would deteriorate rapidly due to the death of the Crown Princess.
Zhuge Ming and others prayed that Jinghan would live a long life and that His Majesty would be fine too.
Jing Chengji asked the eunuch to give the book to Zhuge Ming.
Zhuge Ming glanced at it briefly, his eyes widening like marbles.
Even the wrinkles on his face seemed to be smoothed out.
She held it in for a long time and then shouted.
"Your Highness has made great contributions. Congratulations to Your Majesty on receiving this divine book."
Jing Chengji smiled broadly, "You guys take a look too."
Jing Chengji was not afraid that the recipe would leak out. If it did, apart from her and Han'er, there would only be a few people left.
These cunning people would never do such an obvious thing.
After reading it, Ge Dawa's eyebrows were jumping with excitement.
"Your Majesty, let me try the recipe. I guarantee it will be successful."
Wei Zheliang said.
"You wish. At least the soap and perfume extract will belong to me. I will make sure the national treasury is filled to the brim."
"Master Wei, this recipe requires craftsmanship, which happens to be my specialty in the Ministry of Industry. If you can't handle it, I'll do it."
The Minister of War also interjected.
"That alcohol is beneficial to my military department. I have so many people under my command. I don't believe that we can't purify it according to such a detailed recipe?!"
A few of them were arguing like elementary school chickens, talking back and forth, making it so noisy that it gave people a headache.
Jinghan was still adding fuel to the fire.
[Fight, fight! What's the point of arguing?]
Several people were speechless, but were about to take action in order to obtain the right to make a recipe.
Jing Chengji glared at Jing Han, thinking it wasn't messy enough.
"Okay, I have my own arrangements."
Everyone was quiet for a second.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Jing Chengji nodded, then sighed.
"Alas, what I am most worried about now is the livelihood of the people. Even with God's blessing, one acre of land can only yield one dan, and no more than one and a half dan at most. I really can't sleep at night."
"Your Majesty, I know that you love your people, but this is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Besides, Jingguo is already doing quite well."
Zhuge Ming and others followed Jing Chengji's words, and now the emperor and his ministers started to act.
Jinghan was originally hesitant, as she felt that it might not be appropriate to directly tell her where the potatoes were.
But seeing Jing Chengji so worried, she felt uncomfortable too.
Jing Chengji glanced at Jing Han who was ready to make a move, and she sighed again.
"Ah~ I know, but..."
"Mother, I have something to say."
"Well, go ahead."
Jing Chengji, Zhuge Ming and others deliberately suppressed their excitement.
"My daughter heard that there's a good variety in Yue County that can yield up to ten dan per mu, but the miasma is so prevalent there that it's difficult to explore!"
Jing Chengji was surprised.
"really?"
Jinghan nodded.
[System, you said there really are potatoes over there, right?!]
[Host, yes, I am sure and certain! ]
【That's good! 】
"No matter how difficult it is, as long as it can fill the stomachs of the people, I will order someone to find it. However, ten stones, is the output really that high? From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of such a thing!"
Jing Chengji was both happy and sad.
"Mother, if we can find it, we can find a place to plant it first. If the yield is very high, in a few years, the people of Jing Country will never have to go hungry again!"
Jing Chengji said excitedly.
"Han'er is absolutely right."
“Someone come…”
