I Just Won't Play by the Book - Chapter 285

285 National Artifact (1)
“Ding! Ding!”

Just as he was thinking about the future of the Sheng Kingdom, a bell suddenly rang in Jiang Beiran’s ears. This bell was extremely special, and only the bells that Jiang Beiran had personally made could ring.
In the next second, Jiang Beiran’s figure disappeared from the study and appeared outside the palace.

Under a fake mountain, Luo Wenzhou looked at his master who suddenly appeared in front of him and quickly bowed,”Greetings, Master.”

“Yes.” ” Alright.” Jiang Beiran nodded and asked,” Is everything done?””

!!
“Yes, I found the painting in Jia Country.”Luo Wenzhou said as he took out something that looked like a piece of soil from his Qian Kun Ring.

Jiang Beiran reached out to pick up the large piece of soil and broke it off forcefully. He could not help but smile.

“I didn’t expect there to be such a thing.”

The piece of soil that Jiang Beiran had injured was a potato! That’s right, it was a huge pile of potatoes! In the historical web novels that Jiang Beiran had read, potatoes were considered a national treasure that could greatly alleviate the problem of people not having enough to eat.

That was why Jiang Beiran had thought of it the moment he became the emperor.

In addition, the corn was also very good, so after Jiang Beiran drew them, he found Luo Wenzhou, who was good at gathering information, and asked him to travel around the world to find them.

He hoped that potatoes had long existed on this continent, but people had yet to discover their edible value.

Luo Wenzhou also regarded this as a good experience. He had been trying his best to find it for a few months and finally found it in a mountain village in Jia Country.

Whether it was the appearance or the taste, it was extremely similar to what his master had described.

“Well done. Also, is there any news about the corn?”

“Not for the time being…Master, you said to bring it to you immediately after finding it, so I hurried back.”

“Alright, no rush. Did you gain anything else from this experience?”

Luo Wenzhou immediately began to tell his master what he had seen and heard along the way. He also said that his alchemy skills had improved and he could now control the medicinal spiritual energy in the pill furnace as his master had said.

‘You’re really a f * cking genius…’

Jiang Beiran was stunned when he heard that Luo Wenzhou could already control the medicinal spiritual aura. This was a special skill that only a Fourth Grade Alchemist could master. Many Alchemists could never understand this level in their entire lives, but this kid had actually mastered it in just half a year.

‘As expected of the Innate Jade Scale Body, the top talent of an alchemist.’

Even though he was filled with emotions, Jiang Beiran still nodded calmly and said,””Very good. Go back and continue to consolidate it. When you can skillfully distinguish the spiritual energy of the various types of pills in the pill furnace, I will teach you the art of sealing the fire.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

“Yes, this disciple will take his leave.” Luo Wenzhou cupped his hands and quickly disappeared into the night.

Tossing the Cosmos Rings in his hand that contained potatoes, Jiang Beiran felt that he had filled up an important part of his blueprint.

He returned to the palace without anyone noticing. Just as he was about to enter the study, Jiang Beiran suddenly heard a heated discussion coming from the next room.

“You can’t be fooled by the court. Although the officials in Fengzhou are now intimidated by the Emperor’s personal expedition, we can’t rule out the possibility that they won’t openly obey in the future. After all, the Emperor can’t patrol like this every day.”

“You’ve been locked up too much. Now, not only is the emperor patrolling the provinces and counties, he has even personally gone to villages that are difficult to find on the map. With such heavenly might, how would those local officials dare to take bribes and bend the law?”

“This is because the emperor has gone deep into the villages for the first time and caught those officials off guard. In the future, he will definitely think of a countermeasure…”

“Then we’ll think of a way to deal with it.”

Muyao and Deng Xianghan, who were arguing, quickly bowed and said,””Your Majesty.”

Then, the other eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly bowed and shouted,”Your Majesty.”

Since Jiang Beiran liked to read memorials by himself, he would transfer them all to this room when he was editing memorials.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran turned around and said,””Muyao, Deng Xianghan, come with me.”

“Yes.”

The two women did not hesitate and immediately followed.

When the door closed, Kong Qianqian, who was standing in the corner with her cheeks puffed up, heaved a sigh of relief.

“Kong Qianqian, go to the Imperial Guards and get fifty beatings yourself.”

Kong Qianqian, who was just about to swallow the green bean cake, suddenly heard the Emperor’s voice outside the door. Her small face immediately fell and she shouted towards the door,””This servant will obey.”

Jiang Beiran glared at Muyao, who was trying her best not to laugh.””You still have the cheek to be happy. Zhen asked you to discipline her properly, but why can’t you change this habit of stealing her mouth?”

Muyao immediately lowered her head.””I will take good care of that girl next time…”

Putting on a look of disbelief, Jiang Beiran pushed the door open and led the two ladies into the royal study.

He took out some firewood from his Cosmos Ring and spread it on the ground. Then, he took out a small pot and placed it on top of it. He said,””Muyao, get some water.”

Although Muyao didn’t know what the Emperor wanted to do, she immediately complied and went to fetch water.

A moment later, Muyao returned with a bucket of water.

When the water boiled, Jiang Beiran took out a potato from his Cosmos Ring and put it in.

“Gulp, gulp, gulp.”

It was very quiet in the royal study, only the sound of boiling water in the pot could be heard.
