Daqin: White porridge and pickled mustard tuber, I became the national teacher

Chapter 328: Hope to develop perfume.

After Ying Zheng and Qi Pan determined the general details, they summoned the ministers in charge of building the palace.

The task of building the Imperial Master's Mansion for Qi Pan was handed over to him.

The construction of the Imperial Master's Mansion will still take some time.

Before that, Qi Pan still lived in the palace.

As usual, she was reading memorials in the main hall of Xianyang Palace.

Occasionally, he would discuss state affairs with Ying Zheng and his ministers.

After resting for a while, Fusu continued to work on printing books.

Because the pillow was cold, he delayed a lot of progress.

Now we have to hurry back.

After the previous cultivation of the rice, a large number of them have been successfully planted.

Qipan named this an experimental field.

The rice is growing very well.

You just need to wait until it matures in the first season and then save the seeds. In the second season, you can plant it on a large scale.

The people of Daqin have made a big step forward in having enough food to eat!

Daqin originally had rice varieties and cultivation, but the rice yield was extremely low.

The amount of rice produced was extremely small, and it was basically consumed exclusively by the palace, some ministers, and aristocratic families.

Soap and perfumed soap, through the efforts of merchants such as Jiangxiang, Gaoliu, and Dingning.

It was also widely used in Xianyang and even throughout the Qin Dynasty.

Even Wang Jian, Meng Tian and others who were far away at the border got the news.

Along with this, there was also news that Qi Pan was a girl.

"What? The Imperial Master is a woman?!"

"Is this true?! Don't bluff me!"

Wang Jian stared with his tiger eyes, his face was weathered.

"real!"

"Here's the news from my brother!"

Meng Tian handed the letter in his hand to Wang Jian.

This was sent to him by Meng Yi.

Wang Jian took it and looked at it, "Great! You are worthy of being the Imperial Master!"

"Although she is a woman, her mind and bearing are as broad as those of a man!"

"These people deserve it!"

The letter also wrote that Ying Zheng announced Qi Pan's identity as a woman during a court meeting.

Several ministers spoke harshly about the fact that Qi Pan was a girl.

Qi Pan responded back one by one.

Leaving those ministers speechless.

Wang Jian just thought, what a good rebuttal!

What about women?

He is a rough man and doesn't understand those things.

It doesn't matter whether the national teacher is a man or a woman.

He only knew that the national teacher would be of great use to the Qin Dynasty!

People who are of great use should be treated well. How can we look down on them just because they are women?

In Wang Jian's eyes, there are only three types of people.

Useful people, and useless people.

There are also useless people who keep talking nonsense.

If he wasn't there, he would have rolled up his sleeves and given those ministers a good beating!

It saves them from talking nonsense all the time!

"General, the letter also said that His Majesty has ordered the craftsmen to build the Imperial Master's Mansion."

"When the Imperial Master's Mansion is completed, the Imperial Master will move from the palace to live there."

"When we return to Xianyang, we will definitely visit you and give you a gift."

Meng Tian looked excited.

Wang Jian nodded and said, "That's natural."

"It's a pity that we can't go to celebrate when the Imperial Master moves."

“I can only make up for it later.”

Meng Tian also nodded with some regret.

It seems that I need to add some more gifts to the imperial teacher.

Give her some head ornaments that women like, but I don’t know what the imperial teacher likes?

Wang Jian and Meng Tian knew Ying Zheng's attitude. They were a little surprised at first that Qi Pan was a girl.

Then accept it well.

And he was already thinking about what appropriate gift he should give to Qi Pan when he returns to Xianyang to congratulate him on his move.

If you're really not sure, why don't you write a letter back and ask your wife?

The construction of the Great Wall has also begun.

Everything is proceeding in a tense and orderly manner.

The imperial merchant caravan led by Jiang Xiang and others also expanded.

The business is becoming more and more extensive.

The amount of silver sent to the palace every month became more and more.

Qi Pan also led the craftsmen to develop perfume.

The use of perfume is much more convenient and quicker than soap, incense, and dye.

And the scent lasts longer.

After giving a batch of prepared perfumes to Jiang Xiang to take away.

Qi Pan took a box of perfume and walked briskly towards the hall where Ying Zheng was.

Eleven or twelve, there were a few palace maids following her.

"elder brother!"

As soon as he entered the hall, Qi Pan started shouting.

Ying Zheng, who was looking down at the memorial, looked up when he heard the voice.

"National Master, what's wrong?"

He put down the memorial in his hand, stood up and walked towards Qi Pan.

"Is there anything that makes me happy, Imperial Master?"

"Yeah, look."

Qi Pan put the box in his hand in front of Ying Zheng with a smile on his face.

Ok?

Seeing the pile of bottles and jars in the box, Ying Zheng was puzzled.

"Master, what is this?"

"Perfume." Qi Pan said.

perfume?

Ying Zheng said: "It was the Imperial Master who said a few days ago that a small drop of perfume, applied on the body, would leave a fragrance on the body?"

"Yes."

Qi Pan nodded, "It's freshly made, and has many flavors."

"I brought it here specially. Come here and see which scent you like."

Qi Pan walked to a table and put the box on it.

Take out the bottles one by one and place them on the table.

At the same time, he called Ying Zheng over to try the fragrance.

"it is good."

With a smile in his eyes, Ying Zheng walked over and took a piece of perfume test paper handed to him by Qi Pan.

Put it on the tip of your nose and smell it gently.

The faint scent of peach blossoms lingers in the nose.

"this is not bad."

Ying Zheng nodded.

"Okay, let's put this aside for now."

Qi Pan put the lid on the bottle marked with peach blossom scent and put it aside.

He picked out another bottle of perfume, opened the lid, and used the small wooden stick on the lid to apply a little on the perfume test paper.

The perfume on the thin wooden stick fell onto the perfume test paper.

After waving gently, Qi Pan handed the perfume test paper to Ying Zheng.

"Come on, brother, try this again."

"it is good."

Ying Zheng still took it with a smile and put it to his nose and sniffed it.

Hmm......

This taste...

Ying Zheng sniffed it, blinked, and sniffed it again.

He looked up at Qi Pan in confusion.

"Master, this taste...why does it taste a bit..."

“It’s sandalwood.”

Qi Pan said, "I once bought a perfume called Peach Blossom Sandalwood."

"It has a light scent of peach blossom and sandalwood. It smells very special. What do you think?"

Peach Blossom Sandalwood?

The taste is indeed very special.

Ying Zheng: "Very special, I like it."

"Okay, I'll leave this perfume to you as well."

Qi Pan took out the peach blossom sandalwood and put it together with the peach blossom fragrance.

She took out perfumes of other scents and had Ying Zheng try them one by one.

Ying Zheng carefully sniffed and commented on each perfume.

As long as Ying Zheng liked it and thought it was good, Qi Pan would take it out and put it aside.

After trying all the perfumes, Ying Zheng felt that his nose was no longer his own.

Too many kinds of fragrance mixed together, permeating.
