Wu Qing asked Yao Da to find a bigger house to put the four large vats in.
This vat is so big that Yao Da would have to empty out a whole room in the granary. Wu Qing shook her head and said, "Find a place nearby where people can live, preferably close to Feng Shoutian's house. If it's far away, have his family make more trips."
Yao Da thought for a moment and showed Wu Qing a house. He said, "This was originally part of a stable, used for special occasions like treating horses."
This house is indeed big, bigger than most houses.
Wu Qing was very satisfied with the layout and size. It was not far from Feng Shoutian's house, making it convenient for her to look after it. "Okay, let's do this. As for the food, you must clean it up. Also, dig down and sink this large vat more than halfway into the ground so that people can dig out the contents."
Yao Da asked, "How much is left on the ground?"
Wu Qing measured it and said, "It should be right up to the waist."
Yao Da took note and then asked, "Is the lower half buried in the soil?"
Wu Qing thought about it and said, "It's cold in the ground in winter. I want to heat up this big vat a little bit. What do you think is the best way to do it?"
Yao Da knocked on the tank with his hand, "Won't this explode if it's heated?"
Wu Qing: "I'm worried it might explode if I heat it directly, so I'm asking if you have any suggestions. It doesn't need to be too hot, just warm."
Yao Da thought for a moment and said, "I'll build a hollow path around the big vat, leaving a stove opening in one place. I can light a fire in the stove opening when I need to warm it up. Master, is this a good idea?"
Wu Qing understood. It was the same principle as the earth dragon in the palace. "Okay."
After discussing this, Wu Qing thought about running a school.
She had been at the farm for the past few days, and Yao Da had thought that the new master was here to take care of the school, so he had someone clean up the place in just a few days.
He also ordered people to make sand tables. As of today, thirty sand tables have been made, and more than twenty low tables for writing on the sand tables have been made, and they have all been set up today.
When Wu Qing was invited to the place where the scholar was to be taught, she saw that everything was ready, just waiting for the teacher to teach the students.
There were twenty seats, and she saw no more than forty or fifty people in the village.
Wu Qing said to Yao Da, "If you have children under ten or over five, each one of them will be provided with two meals while they attend the school. I will pay for the teacher's monthly tuition of five taels."
Not only did she want everyone here to learn to read, she also wanted to ensure that men and women on the farm would receive equal pay for equal work. There was still a long way to go, and it was unclear when this would be achieved.
But maybe not for long, like when the soybean paste is made...
He Cui took out a five-liang silver ingot from her purse. Wu Qing took it and handed it to Yao Da, "Please give this to the master. I will be returning to the palace tomorrow. You can make the decision on the matters at the manor."
Yao Da took the silver and responded quickly.
Wu Qing continued, "Open the school as soon as possible and gather all the children. You're definitely better than me at this. There won't be any distinction between boys and girls, and it won't be for the imperial examinations. The purpose is just to make everyone literate."
After saying this, Wu Qing realized that she had said nonsense. The people in the village were all slaves, so how could they be qualified to take the imperial examination?
After returning from Shengyanju, I stayed at the farm for another day. I didn't expect that Mrs. Xu was so fast that she actually sent two carts, which was 4,000 kilograms of soybeans.
Wu Qing had the soybeans unloaded into the farm's granary, and called the wife who guarded the fields and her eldest daughter Daduo to come and see.
Wu Qing said, "These beans are for you to make sauce. Let's start now."
Shoutian's wife suddenly widened her eyes, waved her hands, and said something.
Daduo said, "Mom said it's too cold to make sauce."
Wu Qing then took the two to the place where the sauce jars were to be placed and pointed them out. "The sauce needs to be dried in the sun. If we can't do that in the winter, we can heat it. We'll make a heating duct here."
After hearing this, Daduo's eyes lit up and he explained it to Shoutian's wife.
Wu Qing looked at the expressions of the two people. Shoutian's wife looked confused and obviously didn't believe that this was possible, but Daduo's eyes showed excitement, and she believed it was possible.
Wu Qing said, "Don't make too many first. Just focus on this one tank. If it works, then make the others."
Daduo nodded after hearing this.
There wasn't much soybean paste left at the house of Morita's wife, so Wu Qing took a few small jars of kimchi with her when she left.
On the way back to the palace, he made a special stop at Shengyanju and brought some kimchi to the chef.
During the time Wu Qing was out of the palace, Taifu Wei Shi'an searched the palace carefully, but found nothing, so he reasonably suspected that the alien soul had already left the palace.
He found Su He and asked, "Eunuch, do you know if any palace servants have left the palace recently?"
Is this even a question? Su He immediately replied, "Every year after the autumn hunt, the period before the New Year is when the older palace maids leave the palace."
Generally, young palace maids entered the palace at the age of twelve or thirteen and could leave after five years.
Those who have reached a certain level, such as the first-rank palace maids or the head aunts in each palace, can stay for another five years even if their master cannot leave them.
Those who do not want to leave the palace but have a certain position in the palace can also live out their retirement in the palace, such as the old maids.
Wei Shian thought that he must have left the palace. Since he had left the palace, it would be difficult to find him for a while. He specially returned to the Ninth Prince and went back to his own house to continue studying how to deal with the otherworldly soul.
Wu Qing didn't know all this.
After returning to the palace, she washed herself thoroughly and washed her hair. She leaned on the couch and fell asleep while He Cui was fumigating her hair.
He Cui covered Wu Qing with a quilt and sat beside her to watch over her.
Helian Han pushed the door open and saw exactly this scene.
When He Cui saw the Ninth Prince come in, she hurriedly bowed, and Helian Han waved his hand to let her leave.
When Helian Han picked up Wu Qing, Wu Qing woke up, opened her eyes and looked at the man, so handsome! She kissed Helian Han on the side of the cheek, then looked at him with a smile.
The two of them are like newlyweds after a short separation, and their one-night stand is strong...
When she woke up early in the morning, Wu Qing took a box and handed it to Helian Han.
Helian Han didn't know what it was and looked at Wu Qing questioningly.
Wu Qing smiled but did not answer, only motioned Helian Han to open it.
When Helian Han opened it, wow—a bed of various paper airplanes was scattered all over the place. The man's eyes trembled with heat.
He looked at Wu Qing with surprise.
Wu Qing narrowed her eyes, picked up one and threw it towards the opposite wall. "I said I would give you a gift every day, but I don't want to buy anything. It's inconvenient to do anything else outside. This airplane thing is foldable and can be folded and put away."
This time, the paper airplanes not only come in various shapes, but also in various colors, and they are all made of dyed paper.
Helian Han silently refolded and flattened the scattered planes and put them in the box. "You've only been out for a few days, how come there are so many?"
Wu Qing smiled and said, "Whenever I miss you, I fold one. I'll fold more and more."
Helian Han lifted Wu Qing's chin and covered her with a kiss.
What's going on? Isn't it enough to toss and turn for half the night?
Wu Qing finally managed to break free from Helian Han's arms. Could it be that this man doesn't want to be vegetarian anymore after having sex?
Maybe it's been empty for a little too long.
Wu Qing looked at Helian Han with a reproachful look, "Has your seventh sister returned to the barracks? If not, I'll go check on her. Please don't come here again." She stretched out her index finger and waved it in front of his eyes, "Your Highness, you cannot indulge in lust in broad daylight."
Helian Han smiled and shook his head. He also had things to do. "Okay, wait for me tonight. Seventh Sister has already returned to the barracks. And the model of your last drawing has been made, and it is indeed very useful. Now is the dry season, I wanted to ask your opinion, is it a good time to start construction."
Wu Qing slapped her forehead. There was such a thing. "Wait a minute." Then she went to get a thicker paper processed by He Cui.
Sit on the Arhat couch and fold it up on the low table.
Helian Han walked over, sat opposite Wu Qing, and watched her fold.
It took a while to fold it. Wu Qing held it up and showed it to Helian Han. "A weir is not just a simple wall. In fact, using a sawtooth shape will make it several times longer than a straight line. This can increase the flow capacity of water flowing through the weir. It can also withstand a larger amount of water and will not break for a longer time."
Helian Han looked at it intently for a while, then understood. "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Wu Qing smiled, her smile as bright as the sun. "I've already said that I only know some things from playing with water. I've never actually repaired a weir. I'm afraid I can't help Your Highness with the actual construction!"
Helian Han tapped Wu Qing's nose and asked, "What did you call me?"
Wu Qing stretched her neck, bit Helian Han's fingertips quickly and released them, "Helian Han."
