In the alchemy room.
Wei Yunyi sat cross-legged on the cushion.
In front of us is a three-legged, double-layered black alchemy furnace.
The alchemy furnace was extremely large, nearly ten feet in diameter, and was carved with various patterns.
At the bottom, raging flames were dancing, and because the material used for burning was high-quality silver charcoal, no smoke would drift out.
At this moment, Dangai was hanging in the air by an iron chain and was not closed.
Because Wei Yunyi still needs to estimate the time.
Put the refined medicinal materials in.
Refining pills requires several complicated steps.
For example, the selection and dosage of medicinal materials, as well as the control of heat, all need to be strictly implemented.
Fortunately, Wei Yunyi had the records left by Emperor Gaozong, and since this was the second time, nothing would go wrong.
He sat in front of the alchemy furnace, feeling the waves of heat, and from time to time ordered his eunuchs to add silver charcoal.
At the same time, some necessary medicinal materials were delivered.
The eunuchs were busy.
Strictly implement.
This is one of the advantages of being an emperor. You only need to command others in everything without having to do it yourself.
"It's just a small Huan Dan, but it's so complicated. What about the big Huan Dan later?" Wei Yunyi looked at the alchemy furnace and shook his head. He had previously looked at the process of refining the later pills, and whether it was the medicinal materials or other things, it was extremely complicated.
As for why you can tell, it’s very simple. Just look at the records of the elixir above.
The more words Emperor Gaozong wrote, the higher-level the elixir was.
Come to think of it, my grandfather is very serious and studious.
But for alchemy.
Wei Yunyi is a layman after all.
Even though it is described very clearly in "Dan Jie".
But I still feel that I must find someone to help me.
Thinking of this, he raised his head and said, "Little Li, how is Wang Jin's matter going? How long will it take to return to Beijing?"
Little Li, who was busy at work, put down his work after hearing the question, hurried over, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the evidence on Li Fang's guilt has been almost collected, and it won't take too long."
Yes, Wang Jin sent a message yesterday saying that he had obtained witnesses and evidence, and he also gave orders on what to do.
It will probably take a few days for the news to reach Longyang Prefecture, so it shouldn't be too fast.
"I understand. Tell him to do his job well."
"Yes, Your Majesty," said Little Leo.
Wei Yunyi was thinking at this moment.
There is no rush to refine the elixir anyway.
The most crucial thing is how Wang Jin deals with Li Fang.
If done well, the eunuch's act of framing a former important official of the imperial court would surely shock the officials.
So there is no need to rush to recall the other party. You must know that this is related to whether your luck will be ruined.
Speaking of Longyang Mansion, Wei Yunyi thought of his father-in-law again.
Song Gongwen had already set off a few days ago.
The capital is not too far away from the Jiangnan area. If we ride fast, we should be there soon.
Longyang Prefecture is the base camp of the Jiangnan gentry. Sometimes, even the imperial court's decrees need the help of these people to be fully implemented at the grassroots level.
Even though my father-in-law is the second-in-command of the cabinet, he has no foundation and is likely to run into many difficulties.
Of course, Wei Yunyi felt that this was something worth being happy about.
The system of distributing the tax on land to each household cannot be implemented.
besides.
I have already followed Zhang Zhengming's advice.
Wang Shouyuan, a staunch member of the aristocratic faction, was promoted to prefect.
With one positive and one negative operation, it is exactly equivalent to nothing.
Maybe Zhang Zhengming will do something behind the scenes and use some means to stop his father-in-law.
This suddenly made Wei Yunyi think of a word, that is, party strife.
Although neither of them has any party affiliation, it can be put simply.
In fact, there is no difference.
Factional strife has always been bound to cause unrest in the court, especially when it involves the gentry, the scope of the impact will be even wider. At that time, the decline of luck is inevitable.
This is what Wei Yunyi is looking forward to.
Of course, there is another point worth noting.
The struggle between my father-in-law and the Longyang gentry will definitely cause some trouble.
If it was just the gentry causing chaos, he wouldn't care, but it would be a different story if it endangered the common people.
I feel a little guilty because my action has implicated innocent people.
Wei Yunyi immediately thought for a moment and continued to say to Little Li, "By the way, have Wang Jin pay attention to the issue of the land tax and the people's reactions. If there is any situation, please inform me at any time. Go!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Little Leo received the order and retreated immediately, but he seemed to be thinking about something in his mind.
He remembered what Eunuch Wang told him before he left, when he was serving His Majesty.
Remember every word His Majesty said.
You need to think more about it.
Your Majesty is such a wise ruler.
Don't do or say meaningless things.
So, when I deliver the message later, should I mention it more?
Yes! I must. Eunuch Wang's words must not be ignored. Little Leo thought so and then withdrew directly.
As Wei Yunyi watched the young eunuch leave, his mood improved. He knew that this implementation of the land-based tax system would definitely cause a big uproar.
In addition, the matter of alchemy must have been spread out. After fermentation, the two things collided together, and the court officials and even the people must have had strong opinions. I believe that this system settlement will definitely ruin his luck.
He had learned that as long as the monthly growth of luck remained below 1,600, it could be considered as bad luck.
For example, if the next calculation of luck is 1,500, and the growth requirement is not met, there will be 100 points of bad luck.
In this way, one can exchange one hundred tyrant points at a one-to-one ratio.
The increase of fifteen hundred can also be exchanged for fifteen points at a ratio of one hundred to one.
No matter what, I am in an absolute advantage.
Wei Yunyi didn't believe it.
Even if the Great Wei's fortune is in a growth stage now, it is impossible that even a hundred points of fortune cannot be destroyed.
So at this moment, he was very happy because he felt that everything was going as planned.
Don't panic, it's very stable!
Immediately, Wei Yunyi looked up and glanced at the alchemy furnace.
Whether it's the heat or the herbs, everything has been taken care of.
In the next period of time, all you have to do is wait, but this kind of thing can be left to the people below.
Immediately, he slowly stood up and looked at the sky outside. It was already evening. After a moment of thought, he said directly, "Let's go to Kunshou Palace. Today I want to discuss poetry and songs with the Queen."
The young eunuch serving nearby nodded, and immediately ordered the dragon chariot to Kunshou Palace.
At this moment, Wei Yunyi is looking forward to the next settlement.
The Jiangnan area, thousands of miles away from the capital.
To be precise, it is Longyang Prefecture.
A great figure from the court was welcomed, that was Song Gongwen, the father-in-law of the emperor, Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and acting Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
It can be said that Song Gongwen was very excited, because he had gathered up his strength and was ready to do something drastic!
