The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

There are now two large smelting houses in the mountain, one belongs to the imperial court and the other belongs to Wang Cong.

At the beginning, Wang Cong was very enthusiastic and took Wang Xiaojing to help the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry build the furnace, thinking that these craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry were specialized in refining silver and must have advanced silver refining methods and advanced furnace manufacturing drawings.

Who knew that when he helped, he found out that they were still using the traditional ash blowing method.

He can do this too!

He even knew the calamine method, which is recorded in Song Yingxing's "Tiangong Exploitation", right?
It is already very detailed, although most people may not be able to replicate it, after all, it depends on experience.

But is he an ordinary person?
He is a Taoist priest!
Not only him, but also Xue Hua and Zhang Weiliang from the academy quickly mastered it after failing several times.

As a Taoist priest, his other abilities may be average, but he does have the ability to refine the furnace.

Pan Yun followed to see. She picked up a piece of smelted slag and squeezed it open. Then she smelled the strong smell in the air and frowned slightly: "This won't do. Not to mention that there is so much silver left, even the pollution level is not acceptable. How can we bear to destroy such a green mountain?"

Wang Cong nodded repeatedly, "I think so too, so this furnace must be improved, and you must take over Miaozhen and Miaohe. They are the most familiar with the furnace, especially Miaozhen. When Miaohe refined cinnabar before, she added a bend and used water cooling to cut it. Not only can it make the cinnabar purer, it also greatly reduces the poison gas. In the past, every time Miaohe refined cinnabar, she had to train her body to remove poison for ten days. Later, as long as she wore a mask, she could prevent the poison gas from entering her body."

Pan Jun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go back to pick them up tonight."

She also brought Pan Xiaohei with her and asked it to search for all the knowledge related to silver refining and smelting in the spiritual realm.

Then she copied it down, and she only copied more than twenty pages until her fingers became numb.

After thinking about it, Pan Jun pulled Xue Shao, who had nothing to do, along. At night, she controlled the device in the Sanbao Ding, and at the same time, she paid attention to the spiritual realm and read out the records on it.

Xue Shao worked late into the night to record it for her.

When the two flew back to Quanzhou, Xue Shao's eyes were dark, and when he was pulled out of the Sanbao Ding by Pan Jun and landed on the ground, his whole body shook.

They set out from Japan at night and returned to Quanzhou in the evening of the next day, resting three times along the way.

Xue Shao had memorized more than eighty pieces, which together with the twenty or so pieces memorized by Pan Yun formed a book.

Pan Jun excitedly pulled him back to Quanzhou City to find Miao Zhen and others.

Miao Zhen was cultivating diligently. Tao Yanbai and Miao He were also cultivating diligently under Miao Zhen's watch. The three of them would occasionally walk around the streets carrying banners and telling fortunes and treating illnesses for people...

Moreover, the three of them went their separate ways and never got together.

Their hard work has made life difficult for Hongyan and Xiaohong.

Hongyan's fifth tail has grown out. Although it is a small one, she has made a breakthrough. Moreover, when she transforms again, her tail can be completely retracted and her ears can also change, so she will no longer be recognized.

After her initial success, she no longer wants to work hard and has been living a miserable life recently.

Xiaohong lives and eats with her, and under her influence, she has also been in a bad mood recently and hardly practices at night.

A fox and a ghost carry a fat baby and seduce people everywhere every day.

It's really seductive.

Not only were the people in the Maritime Customs obsessed with the two, but there were also many young men outside the palace who were also obsessed with them.

If they hadn't been afraid of Pan Yun, they would have taken action long ago.

Eunuch Cao was very troubled and tried to persuade them many times, both openly and secretly. Finally, he simply found an old palace maid who had left the palace early in Quanzhou to teach them, hoping that they would go out less.

However, they were very happy to learn and immediately applied what the old palace maids taught them on the men.

I don’t know why, but even though my behavior has become much more dignified, I still attract more men.

Cao Jixiang's head was buzzing with fear, fearing that if she wasn't careful, the two of them would be abducted by some bad man outside, and Pan Jun would come back to settle the score with her.

So when Pan Yun returned to Quanzhou Prefecture, Cao Jixiang was taking time out of his busy schedule to arrange a blind date for the two of them. Oh, no, it was to recruit a husband.

There were two rows in the yard, with at least ten people in each row, all of them were Jinyiwei and officials working in the Maritime Customs. The Jinyiwei had broad shoulders and narrow waists, each of them had at least eight abdominal muscles, handsome looks, kung fu, and even literary talent. The officials included those who were gentle and refined, as well as those who were steady and capable, all of them had broad shoulders and narrow waists, and were handsome.

Cao Jixiang took down their information with a serious look on his face, and occasionally turned back to ask Hongyan and Xiaohong: "What do you think?"

One of them covered half of her face with a round fan, while the other shyly lowered her head and held her handkerchief, whispering, "We all listen to the adults..."

Miaozhen and the other two sat aside holding clubs and watched with great interest.

Pan Yun and Xue Shao: …

Pan Yun coughed heavily.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Pan Yun. Those who were queuing up for the marriage proposal dispersed.

Pan Yun felt a lump in his throat and turned to ask Xue Shao, "Am I so scary?"

Xue Shao suppressed his laughter and shook his head, explaining: "Maybe he knew that you would never agree to this marriage, no matter who recruited you."

Pan Jun snorted.

Cao Jixiang dropped his pen and breathed a sigh of relief: "You guys are finally back!"

Miaozhen and others had already rushed to Pan Yun and were happily circling around her.

Pan Yun said: "I came back to take you to Japan."

Hongyan waved her round fan and asked, "What about us?"

Pan Yun: "I originally wanted you and Xiaohong to go to Ji'an, or you could stay here first..."

"No way—" Cao Jixiang's voice was split, and he pointed at Miao Zhen and the other two and said, "It's fine if the three of them stay. No matter how long they stay, our family can protect them for you, but these two can't."

Cao Jixiang didn't know that Hongyan and Xiaohong were not human. He sent people to investigate these two people, but found out that they had no place of origin and no where to come from, as if they appeared out of thin air.

Pan Yun didn't even prepare a pass for them, and had no idea how they could enter and exit so many cities.

If he and Pan Yun were not in a cooperative relationship, he would have to get to the bottom of it with Pan Yun.

These two people are like bombs to Cao Jixiang~~
He stared at Pan Yun solemnly, forcing her to change her words with his eyes.

Hongyan was not happy, and waved the round fan in her hand quickly, saying: "If you don't want us to stay, we are not willing to stay either. Do you know how many disasters we have protected you from at night in the past twenty days?"

Xiao Hong: "That's right, you don't know how to appreciate a good person!"

Pan Jun said thoughtfully: "Okay, okay, I'll take you away."

Cao Jixiang exhaled a breath, and then said privately: "I know that they fought off many assassins who came at night, but I need these assassins!
Do you understand the feeling of helplessness when I put so much effort into throwing out bait and setting up a dragnet in the Maritime Customs, just waiting for someone to fall into the net, but when I opened my eyes, the assassin was scared away or chased away a hundred meters away?"

Pan Yun opened his mouth, coughed lightly, and said guiltily, "Why didn't Lord Cao tell them?"

"How else do I need to inform them? They don't understand if I hint at them. After I give them clear instructions, they lie on the roof and wait for the assassin to come. But are our opponents fools? They fail once or twice, but they still come to our house carelessly for the third time?" Cao Jixiang said, "Often, they notice something unusual and run away before the assassin arrives."

Pan Yun silently said sorry to Cao Jixiang in his heart, then stuffed them all into the Sanbao Ding and took them away.

After a good night's sleep, Cao Jixiang felt better and decided to have a friendly chat with Pan Yun and ask about the mining situation of the Japanese silver mine. However, when he knocked on the door, he found that the place was empty.

Pan Yun only left a letter.

Cao Jixiang gnashed his teeth and said, "I hate people who leave without saying goodbye the most!"

I wanted to tell her that the Ming envoy to Japan had already set out and would arrive in Japan within ten days at the latest. (End of this chapter)
