Compared with the glass issue, the purification of alcohol is more important at the moment.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi thought for a while and then shook his head: "We will study it later and get the alcohol first."
The war in the northwest has not stopped, and the war in the southeast may start at any time. What they need to study most now is military supplies and medicine!
When Yan Xingxuan heard this, he realized it was the same and nodded quickly.
Zhou Yuxing doesn't care about these things on a daily basis, so he doesn't quite understand them.
But he knew about the war in the northwest and the matter of Zhendong Wei.
After all, the Song family made such a big mistake in seeking peace. How could he not know about Concubine Rong’s family, who are the imperial concubine’s mortal enemies?
But...
It is not easy for him to talk nonsense in front of His Majesty the King of Wei.
Moreover, it doesn't matter if he talks nonsense, if Xiao Nianzhi is implicated again, it will be very troublesome.
Zhou Yu's jargon came to his lips, he swallowed it back, and then took a bite of chicken feet.
Don't say...
This smell is really amazing!
In the past, he didn't eat these things. He could still eat two bites of chicken, but the internal organs still had claws...
Is this really edible?
But right now, Zhou Yuxing feels that chicken feet are the most delicious!
The purification, distillation, and subsequent series of operations of alcohol took about ten days.
In the past ten days, the nearby Zhuangzi has been very lively.
Because, the entire Jin Dynasty has entered the hottest autumn harvest stage.
Staple grains such as corn almost mature in early September and enter the harvesting stage.
After harvesting, it needs to be dried, threshed, and then stored in storage.
Only when the moisture is removed can the food be better preserved and prevent it from becoming moldy or causing other problems due to long-term storage.
These things need to be done intermittently for about a month. Of course, there may be other things interspersed in between.
However, the main task is to collect grain.
The autumn harvest is here, and the court’s taxation must also be arranged.
Xiao Nianzhi occasionally looked at the busy people in the fields, but more often than not, they were still busy with alcohol.
Occasionally, I would communicate with Yan Xingxuan about glass.
Raw materials must be prepared as needed.
Yan Xingxuan hasn't been staying with Xiao Nianzhi in Zhuangzi every day recently. He has to go back to the palace to communicate with the emperor's brother about the space and raw materials needed for the glass, to greet his mother, and by the way, he has to be arrested by the Taiyuan Hospital.
Share the joy.
Because, at Taiyuan Hospital, the second phase of experiments on allicin has ended.
Although the experiment was brief and a little sloppy, the soldiers at the northwest border probably couldn't wait for this, so they verified it for two rounds to ensure that even if there was a problem, it would not be particularly serious, and then directly arranged manpower to start producing allicin in large quantities.
, and then it will be sent to Border City together with the military supplies!
After General Zhao went to Zhendongwei, he quickly cut through the mess and killed about 80% of the rebellious melon bandits, leaving the remaining 20% alive, mainly to explore the situation of the melon country itself.
In every country, there are always some weak-minded people who will tell the truth after a little torture.
General Zhao has led troops for so many years, and he has a vicious vision and ruthless attacks.
He knows which people have the weakest psychological defenses, which people are the easiest to judge, and which people are hard to crack.
When it comes to the tough guys on the melon bandit side, General Zhao has only one word: kill.
After the killing, the head must be hung at the city gate so that the people passing by can see it.
The common people had a hard time being harassed by melon bandits some time ago, and some even had their whole families wiped out.
At this time, General Zhao’s actions can be said to be a reassurance for the people.
In fact, the melon bandits are not omnipotent. As long as the court officials work hard, what can't they fight or kill?
Aren’t the heads of the previously arrogant melon bandits hanging at their city gates now?
The news about Zhendong Wei came back quickly. Because of this, the emperor's expression became much gentler during the morning court session.
As a result, after leaving the morning court and discussing matters with officials, an urgent report came from the northwest border. General Guo was stabbed by the enemy. As soon as the wound was treated, he started fighting with the enemy again.
Subsequently, due to wound infection, it was almost impossible to save her, and her life hung by a thread several times.
However, he has been rescued now and is slowly recovering.
If it weren't for the words "I have been rescued and I am slowly cultivating myself", the emperor would have even wanted to go to the battlefield himself.
There is General Guo in the north and General Zhao in the south. These are the two most powerful weapons in the emperor's hands now. If either one is gone, he will feel distressed and panic!
He is not the late emperor. He was an emperor on horseback, fighting in the north and south without any problems.
If a general was really lost, he would not be able to do it himself. When the time comes, he would have to train him again, and the war waits for no one...
Thinking of this, the emperor's face became sullen, frightening all the officials.
Yao Wan's matter is still under investigation by Dali Temple. Her identity is almost certain, but what is now doubtful is...
Is her father Yao Cheng or Master Feng?
Her mother gave Yao Cheng a lot of money back then. What was the original use of this money?
Is there anyone else alive in the Yu family?
Qinmei and other concubines have been missed. The emperor feels that there should be others in the Yu family, and Dali Temple is investigating these matters carefully.
Because of Yao Wan's relationship, coupled with the previous invasion of melon bandits, and the performance of the Song family, the emperor is now increasingly dissatisfied with the Song family and the imperial concubine.
In addition, he coveted the beauty of the imperial concubine in his early years and supported the Song family, which indeed brought a lot of trouble to the queen and the prince.
Now that there is a chance for liquidation, how could the emperor not take action?
To put it bluntly, he covets the beauty of the imperial concubine, but compared to power, beauty may actually be less important.
What the emperor wants to protect is that the mountains will remain solid forever.
The prince is the legitimate son of the royal palace, and he trained him with his own hands. It is impossible for him to kill someone just for the sake of beauty.
Moreover, the emperor is very satisfied with the prince, and the prince's abilities are good, so there is no reason to abolish him.
Therefore, this time the Song family has given a ready handle, how could the emperor not deal with it?
I was busy with the autumn harvest and taxation matters in various places, and coupled with the urgent report of the war on both sides, I was distracted for a while.
Now that I finally have my hands free, no one can escape, whether it is the imperial concubine, the third prince, or the Song family.
Among these people, the imperial concubines were the first to bear the brunt, being demoted to concubines by the emperor and moved to the secluded palace.
In fact, Yougong is not the name of any palace, but the name of a relatively remote palace in the harem.
To put it bluntly, it is the cold palace area of Jin Dynasty.
The third prince is introspecting behind closed doors and cannot leave the house without holy will.
Many officials from the Song family were demoted and transferred.
In short, in this attack, the imperial concubine faction was completely defeated.
When the emperor did not want the imperial concubine to become the second jade concubine, the imperial concubine faction had already been attacked many times.
It’s just that I was able to bear it without hurting my muscles and bones.
But this time, it was really a broken leg and broken arm, and there was no good place!
The most important thing is, how could Concubine Rong let go of such an opportunity?
The Zhou family will definitely add insult to injury at this time, and the prince's faction cannot just sit idly by and miss such a good opportunity.
