For the past three days, Feng Yu Heng had not stepped out of the county princess's manor. She had also rejected all visitors. She hid in the medicine storage room and dived into the pharmacy's storage space. She sorted through the medicine in the storage space and finally picked out a few special drugs that could alleviate drug addiction, as well as a few syringes.
She placed these items on the most conspicuous counter on the first floor so that they could be easily accessed.
Feng Yu Heng understood that other than continuing to train the Divine Arms Battalion, her most important mission was to produce steel during this trip to the barracks. Producing steel was different from smithing. The people of Dashun had never come into contact with this technology before, and she herself was not a professional steelmaker. She only had theoretical knowledge and lacked practical experience. Without a ready-made steelmaker, she would have to select suitable blacksmiths from among the top blacksmiths to nurture. She also had to be careful when selecting her apprentices. The people who participated in the smelting process not only had to be smart, hardworking, and willing to endure hardships, but most importantly, they had to be tight-lipped, have a high level of ideological awareness, and be absolutely loyal to Dashun.
She sat in front of the desk in the lounge, spread out a pen and paper, and went through the steel-making process from beginning to end in her mind. Then, she wrote it down on paper. From the beginning of slag making, to melting, refining, increasing silicon, and then to the drawing of steel, she wrote down nearly twenty steps one by one. At the same time, she also listed the methods and things to pay attention to in each step.
This was equivalent to giving himself a new lesson. Speaking of which, this set of knowledge was learned from a cold weapons master in the army. That master was also a strange person. Clearly, everything was readily available in the 21st century, but he liked to start with the most primitive things. He took care of everything from smithing to making steel. The weapons made by his hands were denser and tougher than the usual weapons.
While he was producing steel, she had curiously followed him to watch, but she had never tried it out. She memorized this set of theories, but they were just theories. Feng Yu Heng was not completely confident that she could succeed. Everything would still have to be analyzed in detail.
She stayed in the storage space for an entire day and night. Apart from eating, she did not come out at all. She did her best to prepare for the production of steel. She also sorted out some of the weapon blueprints that she had casually designed and picked out some simple and practical designs for trial use. She also made some improvements to the swords and sabers that Dashun soldiers were currently using.
When she finally finished her homework and came out of the space, Qing Yu was holding a stack of account books and waiting for her at the door of the medicine room. Seeing her come out, Qing Yu hurriedly said, "This is the accounts of several shops after the New Year. Miss, you will go to the military camp. Take a look before you leave."
As soon as Feng Yu Heng saw the accounts, she knew she was in big trouble. She remembered that when the pharmacy was operating, the accounts were also checked by special financial personnel. After she checked the total amount, she signed it. What's more, she used to work online and use smart forms. Even if she needed to check, she would use the office software to automatically sum and calculate. Ever since she came to Dashun, every time Qing Yu held a stack of account books for her to calculate, she would have a headache. Even if she could go into the space and use the calculator, she would still feel annoyed.
Seeing Feng Yu Heng's impatient face, Qing Yu was at her wit's end, "This servant knows that Miss doesn't like to look at these. It's just that I don't know when Miss will come back next time. That's why I brought these over."
Feng Yu Heng thought for a moment and said to her, "I've also thought about this matter. Although going to the military camp is important, I can't ignore the matters in the capital. I don't care much about Phoenix Pavilion and Wonderful Treasure House. They are nothing more than businesses that make money. However, Hundred Herb Hall is the most important. Qing Yu, at the end of every month, you will go to the military camp. I will leave two shadow guards with you. When you go, I will also send a few Imperial Guards from the county princess' manor to follow you. You must ensure your safety. "
Qing Yu nodded, "Young miss, don't worry. Qing Yu understands."
Feng Yu Heng received the account books and said: "I will look over these things one last time. In the future, they will all be given to you. You just need to tell me about Hundred Herb Hall's situation each month. As for everything else, if there is a profit, just send it directly to the county princess' manor's accounts. "
She looked over the account books for the entire afternoon.
Feng Yu Heng's thoughts were not on the accounts. She knew that with Qing Yu present, these accounts definitely would not be wrong. There was no need for her to worry too much about business matters. As for the Feng manor, she was in a rush to leave. There were many things that she feared she would not be able to arrange or take care of. She could only take one step at a time.
That night, Feng Yu Heng was still making preparations for her departure. She decided to keep the Imperial Guards from the palace to protect the county princess' manor. Two of the hidden guards would be left behind to follow Qing Yu. She would take the rest with her. Yao shi would also be going with her. Qing Lan, who usually took care of her, would also be going. There was also Huang Quan and Wang Chuan … counting like this, there really were quite a few people going with her.
She only slept for half the night. At noon the next day, she brought Huang Quan to the Feng manor to pay respects to the matriarch.
In regards to Feng Yu Heng's arrival, the matriarch was a bit surprised and a bit nervous. She had not made any preparations to meet Feng Yu Heng so soon. For a while, she did not know what to say.
It was Feng Yu Heng that took the initiative to resolve the awkwardness, telling the matriarch: "Granddaughter will be leaving the capital tomorrow. I will be going to the military camp on the outskirts of the capital to focus on producing steel. This trip will take at most a year and a half, and at least a few months. During this time, I will occasionally come back, but I will not stay for long. I came today to tell grandmother if there is anything grandmother would like to say to granddaughter. "
Feng Yu Heng's words came as a surprise to everyone. Everyone knew that she would be going to produce steel for Dashun sooner or later, but they never thought that it would be so sudden. Especially when Yao shi had been assassinated, and she had just whipped the third prince. Now, everyone in the manor was panicking. Even Feng Jin Yuan was limping because he had stayed overnight. Everyone thought that at this sort of time, Feng Yu Heng would definitely remain in the manor for a bit longer. As a result, she said that she would be leaving the next day. This was truly too fast.
The matriarch was startled and asked her: "Why are you suddenly leaving?"
Feng Yu Heng smiled and said: "It's not too sudden. From the new year's celebration until now, if it was not for father's wedding, perhaps Heng would already be at the military camp."
The matriarch had nothing to say; however, she was thinking to herself that her leaving was also good. With her leaving, she would be able to let out a sigh of relief. There would be no need to worry about her coming to cause trouble.
In truth, many people were like this. They were afraid of being investigated, but they were unable to control their evil hearts.
Feng Yu Heng looked at the matriarch then looked at Kang Yi. She could not help but smile and say: "Since grandmother has something to say, does mother want to say a few words?"
Kang Yi had always been one to speak on the surface. Seeing that Feng Yu Heng had spoken to her, she immediately said: "I think that you should have an understanding of the small matters. Mother will only advise you to put your heart and soul into producing steel for Dashun. This is an important matter. As for the family, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of elder madam and your father. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Then that's good. As for Princess Ru Jia, I have already left all of the medicine and treatment methods with the imperial physicians. I have also already reported it to father Emperor. Every half a month, I will have mother come into the palace to visit. "
Kang Yi rejoiced and repeatedly gave her thanks. But her thanks were truly sarcastic to the ears of the people of the Feng manor. Fen Dai wanted to say, she whipped your daughter until she looked like a pig, yet you want to thank her? However, she recalled what Han shi had said to her in the morning. You absolutely must not offend your second sister. She even dares to kill a prince. What are you in her eyes? Thus the words that had reached her mouth were swallowed back down.
It had to be said that Shu Ya courtyard's morning and evening rituals were quite lively in the past. Regardless of whether it was Chen Yu or Fen Dai, even the former Shen Clan, they all fought to curry favor with the matriarch. Later on, Jin Zhen was brought in, and they all surrounded the matriarch to massage her legs and shoulders. But gradually, the matriarch could no longer enjoy this treatment. Just like today, after Feng Yu Heng finished speaking, the hall fell silent. Only the sound of a cup of tea falling on the table could be heard, as well as everyone's irregular breathing.
The matriarch began to feel irritated and simply waved her hand to chase them away: "Alright, if there is nothing else, you may all disperse."
These words were like a decree of amnesty, as everyone let out a long sigh of relief. Standing up and saluting, they turned and left.
The matriarch watched all of them leave in a hurry and suddenly felt that the world was too cold. She then looked at Kang Yi, who was the only one that remained, and her heart began to ache. She said to Kang Yi: "In any case, you were allowed into the palace to take a look. That can be considered pretty good."
Kang Yi faintly sighed and said: "It was all Ru Jia's own fault. Mother, don't worry. Kang Yi will not blame anyone."
The matriarch nodded, "That's right. If her steel is successfully produced, perhaps she will be able to do as she pleases in Dashun."
Kang Yi wanted to say that Feng Yu Heng would also be able to do as she pleased! But these words could only be hidden in her heart. How could they be said out loud. Moreover, at this very moment, she was worried about another matter that was even more important. Feng Yu Heng was going to produce steel.
Qian Zhou and Dashun had always been subservient on the surface, but there were hidden dangers. Originally, Qian Zhou had been thinking of ways to obtain Zong Sui's iron essence. Unfortunately, before they could succeed, the iron essence had already been eliminated by Feng Yu Heng's steel. She had heard that the prince of Zong Sui was on good terms with Prince Yu. Like this, Qian Zhou was in even greater danger.
She squinted her eyes slightly. She definitely could not allow Feng Yu Heng to produce steel. She definitely could not!
The small gate between Willow courtyard and the Feng manor had already been sealed off by Feng Yu Heng. She had come to the Feng manor through the main gate, so when she returned this time, she would need to return to the front yard and come out through the main gate.
Xiang Rong followed Feng Yu Heng from Shu Ya courtyard all the way out of the Feng manor's main gate. Feng Yu Heng was truly helpless. Stopping, she turned around and asked her: "If you wanted to speak with me, you could have called out to me. Just following me like this, where do you want to follow me? In a while, I will be going into the county princess' manor. Are you going in or not? "
Xiang Rong's eyes immediately turned red, "Second sister."
"Don't cry." Feng Yu Heng pointed at the Imperial Guards in front of the county princess' manor, "I already spoke with them. In the future, if you have any problems, just go and find Qing Yu. When you come over, they will not stop you. It's just that when I am not in the manor, you need to be a little more careful. Don't get eaten up by the Feng manor."
Xiang Rong's tears began to fall, "Second sister, you don't blame me?"
Feng Yu Heng faintly sighed, "I know that this matter is unrelated to you. If I blame everyone, in the future, everyone will view me as a scourge and avoid me like the plague."
While they spoke, An shi chased after them from the manor. Feng Yu Heng advised her: "If Kang Yi has any intentions of causing trouble for the Feng manor, the Cheng shi sisters will definitely help. If you run into any more trouble, just go and find Qing Yu. She will naturally contact me."
An shi did not think that Feng Yu Heng would give her and her mother such tolerance and trust. For a while, she was extremely moved.
Feng Yu Heng, however, smiled and said to them: "Let's go back. I still have a number of things to prepare. Remember, it's fine as long as you can live safely. Everything else can wait until I return."
After bidding farewell to An shi and her daughter, Feng Yu Heng brought Huang Quan back to the county princess' manor. While walking, she said to her: "Tell the gatekeeper that before tonight, there will be more people coming from the Feng manor. Have them let them pass. You should also prepare. We will be heading to the military camp tomorrow morning! "
