Chapter 205: Chapter 141: Six Matters
The most crucial of these operations, the Gold Panning Workshop, was still under Cheng Zongyang’s personal supervision, with Zhou Zhenyuan assisting him and learning the ropes.
When he was away, Zhou Zhenyuan would take over the supervisory duties.
The developnt of the other departnts continued as planned, with no major changes.
Every eting had to be recorded. This was to identify where problems lay and how to address them. It also made it easier to change policies based on future developnts, providing a clear record to refer back to.
After everyone had finished speaking and they had discussed solutions for issues such as housing, farming, living quarters, water sources, and animal husbandry, Cheng Zongyang finally rose to give his report.
"Tonight, I have several things to report. First, the issue of Martial Artist contracts. Second, a Body Tempering Powder Recipe. Third, a Plant Growth Liquid Formula. Fourth, a Bow and Arrow Design Map. Fifth, a White dicine Formula. And sixth, the state of the outside world and the matter of the children’s education."
Hearing Cheng Zongyang list six different matters, everyone’s expression turned solemn.
Cheng Guanghai nodded. "Tell us more."
Cheng Zongyang imdiately took out four docunts and laid them on the table in a row. "Let’s start with these four," he said.
"The Golden Sand I took with
this ti was worth about seventy-eight taels. I managed to trade it for these four items through an acquaintance."
"First is the Body Tempering Powder Recipe..."
"Second is the White dicine Formula..."
"..."
In a calm and steady voice, Cheng Zongyang explained the details of all four docunts, one by one.
When those present heard that there was a Body Tempering Powder to aid in a Martial Artist’s Cultivation and an even more effective White dicine Powder, they were all overjoyed.
In the mountains, the chances of encountering a wild beast were extrely high. mbers of the Hunting Hall often returned with injuries along with their prey, making dicine for external wounds incredibly important.
Although the dicine Hall had Hemostatic Powder, its ability to stop bleeding wasn’t particularly remarkable.
If the effects of the new dicine were truly as powerful as Cheng Zongyang claid, it would be a complete ga-changer.
However, unlike the others, Cheng Guangshan’s focus was on the Growth Liquid. He silenced the murmuring crowd and turned to Cheng Zongyang with a serious expression.
"Zongyang! Are you certain this Growth Liquid has the effect you described?"
Cheng Zongyang smiled. "I saw them use it myself. You can see the results within a few hours."
"Excellent!!" Cheng Guangshan exclaid, his voice filled with excitent. He trusted his nephew, knowing the young man was steady and wouldn’t make things up on such a crucial matter. "With this Growth Liquid, planting all kinds of seeds and cuttings will be so much faster! We won’t be short on dicinal materials! Wait, can it also accelerate the growth of the plants themselves?"
Cheng Zongyang shook his head and smiled. "I don’t think so. If it could do that, it would be worth far more than I could ever afford. Perhaps you could try to modify the formula yourself in the future, Second Uncle."
"HAHAHA, that’s not an issue. This effect alone is more than enough!" Cheng Guangshan nodded in deep satisfaction.
Only then did everyone else realize that the Growth Liquid was the most important item among the docunts.
It would save an unimaginable amount of ti spent waiting for crops to grow!
Whether it was for grain, vegetable, or fruit seeds, or even for cuttings, the ti required would be drastically reduced.
"I will personally oversee the Plant Growth Liquid Formula," Cheng Guanghai declared. "Along with the Body Tempering Powder Recipe, the White dicine Powder Recipe, the Foundation Establishnt dicine Bath recipe, the Martial Arts dicine Bath recipe, the Seven Herbs Powder Recipe, and the Clearing Fever Powder Recipe, it will be classified as a core secret of the Cheng Family!"
No one had any objections to this.
As for the final item, the Bow and Arrow Design Map, they did not plan to keep it a secret. Cheng Zongyang asked his maternal uncle to make the arrangents and have the Ministry of Works Hall attempt to produce them.
The only weapons that could be mass-produced in the mountains were Wooden Spears and Bows and Arrows.
Currently, resources like iron and copper ore had yet to be discovered. Though Cheng Zongyang was anxious about this, there was nothing he could do.
