I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

"Well, it took two months to make it according to the drawings and models you gave me, so this winery has only just started making alcohol." Song Shiqiu covered his mouth and nose slightly, the smell of alcohol was a bit pungent.

Lin Jin looked at the liquid that was as clear as water, took out some and handed it to the system for testing to see if it met the standards. He then took out another portion and tested himself using physical and chemical methods, waiting for the results.

"Sir, I suddenly remembered something very important." Lin Jin pursed her lips. Without plastic bottles, what could be used to store alcohol? The most suitable material seemed to be glass. If glass was really used, it would be a waste of resources.

"I want to make glass." Although colored glaze is glass, the craftsmanship and materials of ancient colored glaze are different from those of modern glass. "It is used to store alcohol, so, haha, you know."

Even though the technology for firing colored glass is already very mature, this craft is still in the hands of high-ranking officials, so if you want to find someone to fire the glass, you have to ask Song Shiqiu to come.

Fortunately, the technology of blowing glass already exists in this era, otherwise she would have to learn this technology and teach it to others.

Lin Jin secretly patted his chest, feeling fortunate that the technology of this era was still relatively mature.

"Okay." What else could Song Shiqiu say? The alcohol had to be used now that it was ready.

Lin Jin went to see the production of iodine tincture. She had previously instructed that iodine tincture should be kept away from light, and the jar containing iodine tincture should be covered with a large lid.

She just took out a little iodine and found something wrong. There were crystals mixed in the liquid, which was obviously a sign of improper storage and the ineffectiveness of the iodine.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Song Shiqiu calmly poured the iodine back and said, "It can't be used."

"Well, no." Lin Jin then went to look at the iodine in other tanks, and the result was the same without exception. "Tell them not to use the iodine first, and wait for me to get the glass out first."

Lin Jin was not very disappointed with the result. It was just an experimental factory and it was normal to have failures. She just felt sorry for wasting so much iodine.

After visiting the winery, the two went to the fields. She had previously made a prototype of a vegetable greenhouse, which was now in the trial stage.

Lin Jin looked at the rows of white arched greenhouses. The workers in charge of them were clearing the snow that had fallen on the greenhouses last night. Several places were not very solid and had collapsed, and the newly grown vegetables were crushed.

"It looks okay, although it's not growing very well because the weather is still too cold. But at least it's growing. It's just a bit troublesome. I have to watch it every day to prevent it from being crushed by the snow." Lin Jin used to go to the fields every day and had a good understanding of the growth of these vegetables. She specially selected some cold-resistant and frost-resistant vegetables for comparison with other vegetables.

"There's no need to worry about these. If we can have food to eat throughout the winter, it's just a little troublesome and the people won't mind." Song Shiqiu also half-knelt beside her, looking at the crushed seedlings. The tender green seedlings looked very fresh.

Lin Jin felt that what he said was right. Nowadays, people no longer have nine-to-five jobs, and every day of life is a big deal: "Then the greenhouse matter is also handed over to the adults."

She was only responsible for tinkering with it, while the promotion was left to people like Song Shiqiu.

If Lin Jin wanted to open subjects like physics and civil engineering, Da Xia would definitely have to get involved. Fang Yuzhu happened to be working in the Ministry of Rites, so she held a banquet in Tingyu Tower and invited everyone out.

"It's rare that a busy person like you actually has time to treat me to a meal." Fang Yuzhu took off her cloak and handed it to her personal maid, then teased her with a smile, "You are back from disaster relief."

"What busy person? I'm just an idle person." Lin Jin hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand and took her to sit down. "I have something to discuss with you."

"I know. The noise in the court has made me almost deaf. You like to meddle in everything, why don't you let Song Shiqiu find you a female official?" Fang Yuzhu looked at her unhappily. The court has been arguing about this and that for a while. Everyone knows that it was Lin Jin, the prime minister's wife, who proposed this.

"Do you know what others are saying about you behind your back? They say you are a woman who brings disaster to the country. You say all these weird and strange things to attract attention and shake the foundation." Fang Yuzhu imitated the expressions of those people and spoke to Lin Jin in the same way.

Lin Jin touched his nose and said, "Really? I'm really sorry."

"There are already several factions in the court. Not everyone thinks the way you said, otherwise they wouldn't have argued for so long without coming to a conclusion." Fang Yuzhu had actually thought carefully about the things that were being argued about in the court, and indeed everyone had their own reasons.

If the so-called South-to-North Water Diversion Project can really come true, it will indeed benefit the local people. However, if this precedent is really set, the situation in the court will inevitably undergo new changes.

Lin Jin frowned slightly: "What do you think?"

"What can I think? Although I am a female official, female officials still have little power in the court. Not to mention that there is the Minister of Rites above me. How can I have a say?" Fang Yuzhu snorted. She now plays more of a symbolic role in the court. After all, the number of female officials is still too small compared to that of men.

"So you support it, right?" Lin Jin quickly understood what Fang Yuzhu meant. She brought up physics and other issues. In addition to screening out the talents she needed, the greater impact was actually on the female officials headed by Fang Yuzhu.

The creation of more positions means that there will be more women, and the number of female officials will increase. Female officials will have real say in the court, and quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes.

Otherwise, Fang Yuzhu would not have come out today.

"Yes." Fang Yuzhu nodded frankly. Now she was the only one in the entire Ministry of Rites who agreed. "But you don't have to worry. Although there is no result after arguing for so long, these people will still have to compromise in the end."

Who made Song Shiqiu support this? Not to mention that water conservancy was originally under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Rites was only really involved in the imperial examination. Even if they shouted loudly in the court, it would actually be just a lot of noise with little rain.

The Minister of Works is none other than Liu Zhengqing, who will definitely stand on Lin Jin's side 100%. I think after a few more days of arguing, there will be a result.

Lin Jin kept nodding, roughly understanding the current situation: "Then what do you think if I..."

Fang Yuzhu interrupted her quickly: "Are you crazy? What else do you want to say? You have to take it step by step and let those people accept it little by little. Even if you are so careful, Song Shiqiu can't protect you."

Lin Jin shrugged: "Okay then."

How could she not know that she was a little anxious, but she always wanted to give it a try.

"As expected, some capable people tend to be complacent. Do you really think you are a god who can solve any problem with just a breath?" Fang Yuzhu rolled her eyes at her fiercely. "You are very capable, but no matter how capable you are, you can't understand the interests of those old guys all of a sudden."

Lin Jin knew her good intentions and quickly apologized with a smile: "Sister, you are right. I was reckless."

"I'm serious. Ask Song Shiqiu to find you a female official." Fang Yuzhu really wanted Lin Jin to be a female official. "Otherwise, you will do so much, but no one will know you. In the end, all the fame will still fall on Song Shiqiu."

"Even if you and your spouse are inseparable, you are still at a loss." Fang Yuzhu would not let all the credit go to Yan Sihuai.

"You actually want to recruit people for the female official's power." Lin Jin saw through Fang Yuzhu's thoughts at a glance and said with a smile, "I don't need them to remember me in the first place. I just proposed it. I am not the one who can really do these things."
