Ye Huaiting and Princess Jiade were really about to cry when they heard this.
Losing my concubine, losing my money... What if they are implicated again...
So Ye Huaiting could only try to find the Dali Temple Minister to get some information.
The Dali Temple Minister said seriously that it was impossible to prevent witchcraft, especially when someone dared to attack people from the Ministry of Commerce! His Highness Fu Yan was furious! This person must be tortured severely, and the person behind the scenes must be found out!
Ye Huaiting: "..."
At this moment, he really had no intention of staying and making a big splash. He just wanted to get away safely, return to their own little piece of land, and live a good life.
He could only try his best to give gifts to the Dali Temple Minister.
After giving away most of his family fortune, the Dali Temple Minister was finally moved and gave a firm answer: "After all, she is a weak woman. It would not be surprising if she died after being tortured."
Sure enough, I heard the next day that the woman had died without saying anything.
Then Princess Jiade and her family breathed a sigh of relief and quickly and decisively left Chang'an City.
...
...
The Dali Temple Minister, who made a lot of money, secretly used the name of a small shop and donated most of it to Deshanjin, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
By imperial order... No, it's not quite by imperial order, it's by command, and after reporting to the emperor, he got tacit approval to accept bribes. He is the first person to do so, right?
He couldn't help but sigh for Princess Jiade. Tell me, isn't it better to be content? She had to plot against the Prime Minister. This really cost her both her wife and her fortune, and she still didn't know what happened in the end.
The concubine Yue Niang did not go to the Dali Temple. In fact, the Dali Temple was only listed in name only in this whole matter.
She was sent directly to the palace after coming out of the teahouse.
As soon as she lifted the hood, Yue Niang looked around in panic, and saw the familiar porcelain vase on the table, and her mouth opened in surprise.
Then the kind-looking old man raised the bottle in his hand with a smile and said, "This, is it used together with this?"
Yueniang: "..."
Who is she, where is she, what is she doing?
Then the shadow guard came over and said coldly: "You tried to use poison to kill an official of the imperial court, and you are sentenced to immediate execution. But if you help the old doctor Su and understand the poison technique, you can be let go in the future."
Yue Niang was not a tough guy. She quickly agreed under the carrot and stick tactics.
Then she stayed and, under heavy surveillance, taught everyone she knew about witchcraft.
So, about a year later, Yan Shiyue found out that the art of controlling insects was actually similar to modern parasitic diseases. Certain drugs... either scent or oral administration could be used to calm the insects or make them go crazy, thus forcing people to obey orders.
In the early stages of taking the medicine, it can be induced by medication.
But when these worms take root in the human body or enter the brain, even the person who cast the poison cannot draw them out, so the person who is bewitched is destined to not live long. After a few years, he will most likely die or go crazy without being controlled.
And what Yan Shiyue said about making people obedient, making people like someone, and living and dying together... this kind of poison does not exist at all.
As for the famous legend, where several poisonous insects are put together to bite each other, the one that survives is the Gu King or something like that, there is such a method, but it is just a poison-making technique, not a Gu technique.
What Su Ji wants to do is to develop drugs that can attract and kill insects.
This is a later story.
At this time, because of Princess Jiade's incident, many people guessed that they must have offended Yan Shiyue, and they all behaved much more honestly.
The next day, Huo Qijing came over and asked her, "Do you want to use Yan Yunwu?"
Of Prince Xin's two sons, the eldest son was good at martial arts and was named Yunwen, while the second son was a scholar and was named Yunwu.
Yan Shiyue asked: "What do you think of him?"
Huo Qijing said: "He is not a bad person, he is knowledgeable and intelligent. He came to me and said he wanted to take part in the Ministry of Commerce exam."
She asked, "Why didn't he take the imperial examination?"
Huo Qijing smiled and said, "Uncle Eleven wants to move now, unless my father-in-law or I go there, but the emperor obviously has no intention of doing so, then Uncle Eleven should not move. Then Yan Yunwen will probably take over his father's position in the future. As a military commander, this is his future, but Yunwen is good at literature, so there is no good development there, so he will naturally come back. With the emperor's trust in Uncle Eleven, it is not difficult for him to seek a future, so why bother with the imperial examination?"
Yan Shiyue said: "Okay, ask him to come to me and I will talk to him."
When Yan Yunwu came again, he brought a large box of pearls, which were plump and round, and extremely rare.
Yan Shiyue was originally thinking of arranging him to do something else, but when she saw the pearl, she had an idea. Then she asked Yun Ping about his recent situation in detail. When she learned that the place was by the sea and rich in pearls, she had an idea.
Artificially cultured pearls.
In the Song Dynasty, the ancients had already cultivated pearls artificially. There is a record in Wenchang Miscellaneous Records: "There is a method of cultivating pearls. With the fake pearls we make now, choose the ones that are shiny and round. Take a slightly larger clam and soak it in clear water. When it opens, quickly throw a pearl in. Replace the water with clear water. Place it in the moonlight at night. The clam will come out to play with the moonlight. After two autumns, it will become a pearl."
If we incorporate some advanced modern methods, such as using clam shells to make fake pearls, it will not be difficult to cultivate pearls.
Yan Shiyue turned around and went to find Emperor Ming Yan.
After hearing what she said, Emperor Ming Yan asked, "Do you want Yunwu to do this?"
"No!" Yan Shiyue put her hands on her waist and smiled, "I want Yan Yunwu and Third Brother to do this together!"
You know, not only Prince Xin’s residence is by the sea, but Yan Shiwei’s residence is also by the sea!
Her idea was to let Yan Shitu take people to Prince Xin, and let Yan Yunwu take people to Yan Shiwei. Both of them were descendants of the Yan family, and were related. They also had the support of local tyrants, so they could compete in a healthy way, and to a certain extent avoid collusion and self-enrichment. What a good situation!
Emperor Mingyan couldn't help but nod: "Not bad. It's rare that my Yue'er can think so thoughtfully."
He said, "Then hurry up and make arrangements. Your eleventh uncle can't stay in the capital for long. He has to leave soon."
Yan Shiyue responded and quickly called Qu Sinian, asking him to prepare the personnel and so on, and then called Yan Yunwu and Yan Shitu and said this and that.
At the same time, from the Ministry of Personnel, Yan Shitu's promotion documents and Yan Yunwu's appointment documents also came down.
At the same time, the pass documents from the Ministry of Commerce and the pearl cultivation method written by Yan Shiyue were also given to them.
Since they have their own people to help, they don't need to bring many people with them, so they can travel light.
Prince Xin and the Crown Prince even came over to thank her. This was already a better situation than they had imagined. After all, it was easy to keep Yan Yunwu, but it would be difficult to make him be valued and not idle away.
At the same time, Yan Shiyue also arranged several people from the Ministry of Commerce and a group of craftsmen, as well as the Dragon Guards and Shadow Guards requested from Emperor Ming Yan, to slowly build the ship with the blueprint of the sailing warship that she had drawn a long time ago.
You know, in her second five-year plan, the most important part is overseas!
Raising pearls was just a temporary thought. Building ships and heading overseas were what she had always wanted!
Because of this, she really regretted it. She didn't expect this day to come so soon. She didn't have time to make a compass, a sextant and the like. She could only rush to make them and send them to them.
