During these three days, Feng Yuheng had not left the county lord's mansion and refused all visitors. She hid in the medicine room and plunged into the pharmacy space, sorting out the medicines in the space from top to bottom, and finally picked out several special medicines that could relieve drug addiction, as well as several injections.
She placed these items separately on the most conspicuous counter on the first floor so that they could be easily reached.
This time when she went to the camp, Feng Yuheng knew that in addition to continuing to train the Shenji Camp, her most important task was to make steel. Steelmaking is not like ironmaking. The people of Dashun have never been exposed to this technology, and she herself is not a professional steelmaker. She only has theoretical knowledge but lacks practice. There are no ready-made steelmakers, so she has to select suitable people from the best blacksmiths to train, and the selection of apprentices must also be cautious. The people involved in smelting must not only be smart, diligent, and willing to endure hardships, but most importantly, they must keep their mouths shut, have high ideological awareness, and be absolutely loyal to Dashun.
She sat at the desk in the lounge, spread out a pen and paper, and went over the steelmaking process from beginning to end in her mind. She then wrote it down on paper, from slag making to melting, refining, silicon addition, and steelmaking. Nearly twenty steps were written down one by one, and she also listed the methods and precautions for each step.
This is equivalent to teaching myself a new lesson. In fact, this set of knowledge was learned from a cold weapon master in the army. The master was also a weirdo. Obviously, everything was ready-made in the 21st century, but he just liked to start from the most primitive, doing everything from iron forging to steelmaking. The weapons made by him were denser and tougher than ordinary ones.
She had watched the steelmaking process out of curiosity, but had never put her own hands to work. She knew the theory by heart, but theory was just theory after all. Feng Yuheng was not completely sure that it would be successful, and everything had to be analyzed based on the specific circumstances.
She stayed in the space for a day and a night, and except for eating, she did not come out. She made the best preparations for steelmaking, sorted out some weapon drawings she had designed before, picked out some simple and practical styles for trial use, and also improved the swords currently used by the Dashun soldiers.
When she finally finished her homework and came out of the space, Qingyu was waiting for her at the door of the medicine room with a pile of account books. When she saw her coming out, she quickly said, "These are the accounts of several shops before the New Year. Miss is going to the camp soon. Take a look before you leave."
Feng Yuheng was shocked when she saw the accounts. When the pharmacy was in operation, the accounts were checked by a dedicated financial staff. She would just look at the total and sign it. Moreover, in the past, it was all done online, with smart spreadsheets. Even if she needed to check, she would use office software to automatically sum and calculate. Since arriving in Dashun, she always felt overwhelmed when Qingyu held a pile of account books for her to calculate. Even though she could use the calculator in the space, she still felt annoyed.
Seeing Feng Yuheng's impatient expression, Qingyu was at a loss: "I know that Miss doesn't like to see this, but I don't know when Miss will come back next time, so I brought all these here."
Feng Yuheng thought about it and said to her, "I have thought about this matter. Although going to the camp is important, we cannot ignore the affairs in the capital. I am not very concerned about Fenghuang Pavilion and Qibaozhai. They are just businesses that make money, but Baicaotang is the main thing. Qingyu, you will go to the camp at the end of every month in the future. I will leave two secret guards for you. When you go, I will dispatch several imperial guards from the county lord's mansion to follow you. You must ensure your safety."
Qingyu nodded, "Don't worry, Miss. Qingyu understands."
Feng Yuheng took the account book and said, "I'll take a final look at these things, and I'll give them all to you from now on. You just need to tell me the situation of Baicaotang every month, and the rest, if there is a profit, go directly to the account office of the county lord's mansion."
She spent another afternoon looking through several account books.
Feng Yuheng's mind was not on the accounts at all. She knew that with Qingyu around, the accounts would definitely not be wrong, and she didn't need to worry too much about business matters. As for the Feng Mansion, she left in a hurry, and there were many things that she might not have time to arrange and deal with, so she could only take it one step at a time.
That night, Feng Yuheng was still making preparations before leaving. She decided to keep the imperial guards dispatched by the palace to guard the county lady's mansion, leaving two secret guards to follow Qingyu, and taking all the others with her. Yao was also going with her, and Qinglan, who usually took care of her, had to go with her, as well as Huangquan Wangchuan... With this calculation, there were quite a lot of people accompanying her.
She only slept half the night, and at noon the next day, she took Huang Quan to Feng Mansion to pay her respects to the old lady.
The old lady was a little surprised and a little nervous about Feng Yuheng's arrival. She was not ready to meet Feng Yuheng face to face so soon, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Feng Yuheng took the initiative to resolve the awkward situation and told the old lady, "My granddaughter will leave Beijing tomorrow and go to the camp outside of Beijing to take charge of steelmaking. This trip will take at most a year and a half, or at least several months. I will come back occasionally, but I won't stay for long. I came here today just to tell you, grandma, and to hear if you have anything to say to your granddaughter."
Feng Yuheng's words were a surprise to everyone. Everyone knew that she would go to Dashun to make steel sooner or later, but no one expected it to be so sudden. Especially at this moment when Yao was assassinated, she had just whipped the third prince. Now everyone in the mansion was panicking, and even Feng Jinyuan was still limping because he had stayed overnight. People thought that at this time, Feng Yuheng would definitely stay in the mansion for a while longer, but she said she would leave tomorrow. This was really too fast.
The old lady was stunned and asked her: "Why are you leaving so suddenly?"
Feng Yuheng smiled and said, "It's not that sudden. From the New Year to now, if it weren't for my father's wedding, Ah Heng would have been in the camp by now."
The old lady had nothing to say, but she was thinking in her heart that it was good that she was gone. She could finally breathe a sigh of relief after she left, and no longer had to worry all day about her coming back to cause trouble again.
In fact, many people are like this. They are afraid of being held accountable, but they cannot control their evil intentions.
Feng Yuheng looked at the old lady, then looked at Kang Yi who was standing next to her, and couldn't help but smile: "Since grandma has something to tell you, would mother like to say a few words?"
Kang Yi always spoke without hesitation in public. When she saw Feng Yuxing talking to her, she immediately said, "I'm sure you know all the trivial matters. Mother only told you to devote all your energy to making steel for Dashun. This is a big deal. As for home, don't worry, I will take good care of the old lady and your father."
Feng Yuheng nodded, "That's good. As for Princess Rujia, I have left all the medicines and treatments to the imperial physician, and I have also informed my father that I will let my mother visit the palace every half a month."
Kang Yi was delighted and thanked her repeatedly. However, her thanks sounded ironic to the people in Feng Mansion. Fen Dai wanted to say that she beat your daughter like a pig, and you still want to thank her? But she remembered what Han said to her this morning - you must not provoke your second sister, she dared to kill even the prince, what are you in her eyes? So, she swallowed the words that were on her lips.
Speaking of the morning and evening wake-up in Shuya Garden, it used to be quite lively. Whether it was Chenyu or Fendai, including the former Shen family, they all scrambled to curry favor with the old lady. Later, with Jin Zhen, they surrounded the old lady and massaged her legs and shoulders. But gradually, the old lady could no longer enjoy these treatments. Just like today, after Feng Yuheng finished speaking, the hall was silent, and only the occasional sound of tea cups falling on the table and the irregular breathing of the crowd could be heard.
The old lady began to feel annoyed and simply waved her hand to send them away: "Okay, if there's nothing else, just go away."
This sentence was like an amnesty. People breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, saluted, and turned away.
The old lady looked at the backs of these people who hurried away, and suddenly she felt the indifference of the world. Then she looked at Kang Yi, the only one left, and her heart ached. She said to Kang Yi, "At least it's good enough to let you go to the palace to have a look."
Kang Yi sighed softly and said, "It's all Rujia's own fault. Don't worry, mother. Kang Yi won't blame anyone."
The old lady nodded, "Yes, if her new steel is forged, I'm afraid she will be able to walk sideways in Dashun."
Kang Yi wanted to say, Feng Yuheng is also walking sideways now! But she could only keep this in her heart, how could she say it out loud. What's more, at this moment, she had to worry about another more important thing - Feng Yuheng was going to make steel.
Qianzhou and Dashun have always been submissive on the surface, but in reality, there are fierce waves under the surface. Qianzhou originally tried every means to get Zong Sui's iron essence technique, but unfortunately before he could succeed, the iron essence was eliminated by Feng Yuheng's new steel. It is said that the prince of Zong Sui is on good terms with the King of Yu, so Qianzhou is in even greater danger.
She narrowed her eyes slightly. She must not let Feng Yuheng be forged into new steel. She must not!
The small door connecting Liuyuan and Feng Mansion had been sealed by Feng Yuheng's orders. She came to Feng Mansion through the main gate, so this time when she went back, she had to go back to the front yard and go out through the main gate.
Xiangrong followed Feng Yuheng all the way from Shuya Garden to the gate of Feng Mansion. Feng Yuheng was really helpless. He stopped and turned around to ask her: "If you want to talk to me, you can just call me. Where do you want to follow me like this? I will go to the County Lord's Mansion in a while. Are you going in or not?"
Xiangrong's eyes suddenly turned red, "Second sister."
"Don't cry." Feng Yuheng pointed at the imperial guards at the gate of the county lady's mansion, "I have already told them that if you have any problems in the future, just tell Qingyu. They won't stop you from coming. But you have to be more careful when I'm not in the mansion, and don't let this Feng Mansion eat you up."
Xiangrong's tears fell, "Second sister, don't you blame me?"
Feng Yuheng sighed softly, "I know this matter has nothing to do with you. If I blame everyone, everyone will regard me as a scourge and avoid me."
As they were talking, An also chased over from the mansion. Feng Yuheng told her, "If Kang Yi is trying to make things difficult for Feng Mansion, the Cheng sisters will definitely help. If you encounter more difficult problems, go find Qingyu, and she will contact me."
An Shi didn't expect Feng Yuheng to be so tolerant and trustful towards her and her daughter, and she was deeply moved for a moment.
Feng Yuheng smiled and said to them, "Go back, I still have a lot of things to prepare. Remember, as long as you can stay alive and well, everything else will be discussed after I come back."
After bidding farewell to the An mother and daughter, Feng Yuheng took Huang Quan back to the County Lord's Mansion, and said to her as they walked: "Greet the gatekeeper. Someone from the Feng Mansion will come before tonight. Ask them to let us in. You should also get ready. We will go to the camp early tomorrow morning!"
