Chapter 402 Red Land
"Your Majesty is truly amazing. The people in our house have taken so many medicines but have not gotten better. I didn't expect the cough medicine Your Majesty gave me this time to be so effective. After just one dose, no one had any coughs."
Nanny Zhang ran over excitedly to report to Ye Jintang.
As the year draws to a close, Nanny Zhang couldn't sleep well at night because she had to listen to the people in the palace coughing all day long. Now, she can finally sleep well.
"It seems that the medicine you prescribed this time is very effective. Let everyone drink another dose later to strengthen their health."
"Yes, I will make arrangements now."
Faced with such a result, Ye Jintang was so happy that he almost took off.
The efficacy of medicinal materials grown in red soil has increased by 50%. If it is used to make common medicines such as treating colds, you may not feel how shocking it is.
But what if you make a pill for longevity?
The efficacy of Changsheng Pills is already incredible. If it is increased by 50%, will people's lifespan also increase?
Thinking of this, Ye Jintang couldn't help herself. She took out the recipe for the Longevity Pill and started planting the herbs according to the names of the herbs on it. She really wanted to know to what extent the efficacy of the Longevity Pill would be.
Making elixir of life pills requires a large amount of medicinal materials. Even if the red soil can reduce the maturation time by 50%, it will take at least a month to collect all the medicinal materials.
Ye Jintang was very patient. What she had the most now was time, so she planted the crops slowly.
A few days later, there were two consecutive snowstorms in Ningchuan City. The entire Ningchuan City was almost covered with heavy snow. Even Xiao Mo was too lazy to send people out to clear the snow.
"Ningchuan City is simply a snow pit. The snow on the streets can never be cleared away. Anyway, the New Year is just a few days away. I will give the people in the refugee camp a holiday today. We will talk about it after the first month of the lunar year."
"Ah, with such heavy snow, I guess Niu Hongyun and his friends won't be returning to the city for the New Year. I don't know how they are doing in the mines."
"The Niu family brought so many supplies up the mountain, they will definitely not be short of food."
Xiao Mo is still very confident about this.
Gong Daniu brought carrier pigeons with him. As long as there was no snowstorm, Gong Daniu's carrier pigeons would run to the palace every few days.
He was not well educated and could not speak Mandarin, so his letters were extremely brief.
Your Majesty, Niu Hongyun is so amazing. Even with more than a dozen foremen surrounding her, she didn't even change her expression.
Your Majesty, Niu Hongyun may look delicate and squeamish, but she is very hard-working. I was so cold in the mountains that I couldn't help cursing, but she never said a word.
Your Highness, Niu Hongyun is really smart and she has played those foremen around in circles.
Your Majesty, it took Niu Hongyun less than a month to hand over the power of the mine. I suddenly felt that my brain was not enough.
Your Majesty, Niu Hongyun is a bit like my mother. She nags all day long and meddles in everything. She doesn't act like a leader at all.
Xiao Mo would get a headache every time he read such carrier pigeon messages, but Ye Jintang would laugh out loud because she thought Gong Daniu was so adorable.
"This year, the Niu family can have a good and peaceful New Year without having to worry about any trouble in the mines."
"Yes, ever since Gong Daniu went to the mine, every time he sent me a pigeon message, I was a little worried, afraid that his pigeon message was to ask me for help."
Xiao Mo was helpless when he mentioned Gong Daniu's pigeon letter, but Ye Jintang beside him couldn't help laughing.
She was about to speak when she heard the sound of a carrier pigeon flapping its wings outside the window.
"Could it be a pigeon message from Daniel?"
Ye Jintang smiled with her eyes curved. As soon as the snowstorm stopped today, Gong Daniu's carrier pigeon arrived.
"It's New Year's Day, I don't know what trivial things this kid has to worry about."
Luzhu quickly brought a bamboo tube sealed with lacquer into the house. Xiao Mo opened the bamboo tube and found two notes inside.
One was written by Gong Daniu: "Niu Hongyun and I will send Mr. Niu back to the city after the 15th."
One was written by Niu Hongyun, "The heavy snow flies to the end of the old year, the orioles sing and the swallows dance on the spring branches, the mines are stable and good every day, just waiting for the gold and silver to roll in, I wish the prince and the queen all the best."
After Xiao Mo read the note, he handed it to Ye Jintang.
"It seems that the power transition in the mine has been completed, otherwise Niu Hongyun would not let us sit and wait to count the silver."
"That should be it. I really didn't expect that a girl like Niu Hongyun could have such great abilities. Ever since she went to the mine, I have always prepared a team here. As long as there is any movement in the mine, they will immediately go up the mountain to support."
"It seems that they are no longer useful now."
"Mr. Niu is not an ordinary person. He is still ill and yet he went to the mine. He is risking his life."
Knowing full well that he would never return after going to the mine, Mr. Niu still resolutely followed Niu Hongyun. Not everyone has such drive.
When facing death, most people feel fear, and few people can rush forward even though they know they will die.
Ye Jintang thought that after old man Douniu returned to the city, she would give him some longevity pills to help him live a few more years.
Just two days after the weather cleared up, it started snowing again in Ningchuan City.
Finally, after a snowstorm, the new year arrived.
Ye Jintang's space gift quickly became pregnant and gave birth to a foal within a month.
According to the calculation of space and time, the two black horses are definitely not ordinary ones.
Looking at the black pony with long eyelashes in front of him, Ye Jintang was extremely surprised.
"What should I name you? How about Little Black Bean?"
The foal was not afraid of strangers and ran around Ye Jintang happily.
"Since you have no objection, I'll take it as your consent."
Ye Jintang now has a new pet, a foal. She thinks that when Hei Dou grows up, he will be a playmate of Ta Yun.
In a month, the number of horses in the space's stable has grown from the original six to the current 18. At this rate, it won't be long before the stable is full again.
Next year, when the grass is green and the birds are singing, she and Xiao Mo can open the horse farm.
After walking around the space, Ye Jintang took a deer out, and they agreed to have barbecue on New Year's Eve.
In order to welcome the New Year, the entire palace was decorated to look brand new, with big red lanterns hung everywhere, and window decorations and blessing characters pasted on the wall.
The palace was busy early in the morning. Some people were clearing the heavy snow that had fallen last night, while others were loading the porridge that had been cooked last night onto a horse-drawn carriage, preparing to take it to the city gate to distribute the porridge.
It was rare for Ye Jintang to get up early and go with Xiao Mo to distribute porridge.
She wore a thick coat and skirt, a fox fur cape, and there was a charcoal stove in the carriage, but even so she still felt very cold.
"I haven't been out for a few days. I didn't expect Ningchuan City to be so cold during the day."
"Today is pretty good. The sun rose early in the morning. If it were cloudy or the wind was blowing from the north, it would be really cold."
"It's so cold, what will happen to the homeless people?"
