You put me in charge of the prison and turned all the female prisoners into female military goddesse

Inside the side hall, the flickering oil lamp illuminated the words revealed on the scroll.

Chang Qingzhou covered her mouth with her hand: "A concubine?"

Mu Jiangli echoed the same sentiment: "One night?"

"What's wrong?"

Lu Jing had just finished reeling in the film when he asked the two of them with interest, "What's up? You two want to try it out? Come on, take off your clothes and lie down on the bed."

"Who wants to try it with you!" Mu Jiangli said coquettishly.

"I won't try, I don't want to, I can't lose my virginity!" Chang Qingzhou grabbed her collar with one hand and nervously backed away.

Oh.

With a cold laugh, Lu Jing put away the scroll.

"Get out."

He pointed to the pear tree: "Let Qi Xiaomei in."

Mu Jiangli shrugged: "You're just letting me leave?"

"Or do you want to try coming with me before you go?"

"screw you."

Mu Jiangli lightly spat at Lu Jing and stretched out her right hand: "We agreed before, you'd roast a pheasant for me."

"What's the rush!" Lu Jing slapped her hand away. "You'll get your share. Get out of here first."

Rubbing her reddened hand, Mu Jiangli muttered "How annoying!" before opening the door and leaving.

A short while later, Qi Xiaomei walked in.

"Lord Lu."

She first bowed to Lu Jing, then immediately urged Chang Qingzhou to lie down.

"You're injured and can't get out of bed, so you're already recovering slowly; this will only make it slower."

As he spoke, he helped Chang Qingzhou lie down on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and even tucked the corner of the blanket in.

Watching from the side, Lu Jing sighed, "Doctors have the hearts of parents."

Qi Xiaomei lowered her head shyly: "Sir, you flatter me."

After all that had just happened, Chang Qingzhou was exhausted and her eyelids were drooping. She fell asleep soon after.

Taking the scroll and closing the door, Lu Jing led Qi Xiaomei out of the side hall.

The two went to another room, lit an oil lamp, and Lu Jing took out a scroll and handed it to Qi Xiaomei.

Taking it, Qi Xiaomei leaned closer to the oil lamp and unfolded the scroll to examine it carefully.

As she watched, her expression turned to astonishment, just like Lu Jing's earlier.

"Sir, what's up here..."

Qi Xiaomei's eyes widened: "Why is there so much medical knowledge recorded here?"

This scroll doesn't contain any boring county history, personal experiences, or travelogues.

It is a book of single-herb remedies.

It records many prescriptions, folk remedies, massage techniques...

It can treat injuries from falls and blows, spleen and stomach disorders, headaches from stroke, and even menstrual irregularities.

What caught Lu Jing's eye was a prescription called "Vitality Pill".

According to the description, taking it can promote bone and muscle growth, accelerate blood flow, improve cardiopulmonary function, and allow the body to better absorb nutrients.

"This is a treasure I obtained by chance. I'll tell you the details later. For now, take a look at this..."

Lu Jing pointed at the Vitality Pill and asked Qi Xiaomei, "Take a look at the prescription and see if there's any way to make it."

"it is good."

Qi Xiaomei lowered her head and carefully examined the prescription.

After finishing her pipe, she looked up at Lu Jing and said, "Sir, the medicinal herbs listed on it are easy to find. The Baixi Mountains are majestic and continuous, with abundant wild animals and flowers, so it won't take much effort. The troublesome part is the alchemy furnace..."

She scratched her temple and pointed to the scroll: "It says that the process of refining this pill requires extremely precise control of the heat. The stove in the temple is drafty on both sides, making it difficult to control."

"Um……"

Lu Jing stroked his chin: "If I can solve the problem with the alchemy furnace, can you guarantee you can refine this pill?"

"Yes," Qi Xiaomei nodded without hesitation. "I've been helping Grandpa refine medicine since I was little. I can do all of these things: tend the furnace, sprinkle water, blow on the fire, and start the fire."

"it is good."

Lu Jing stood up: "You don't need to take care of her these next few days."

Pointing to the bed where the person was fast asleep, he ate a simple bowl of porridge.

"I'll go with you, and we'll bring a few more people to go into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs."

"Alright," Qi Xiaomei said curiously, "Then, sir, who do you plan to have take care of that red-haired girl?"

Fifteen minutes later.

Under the large pine tree outside the temple.

Beside the campfire.

Mu Jiangli put down the roasted chicken she was holding, not even bothering to wipe her greasy mouth, and asked in a surprised tone, "Why should I take care of Chang Qingzhou?"

"Because I think you're suitable." Lu Jing said expressionlessly, throwing a few pieces of firewood into the fire.

"I won't do it!" Mu Jiangli pouted. "Taking care of people is the most tiring job. Lord Lu, you should find someone else."

"Fine," Lu Jing stood up with a cold laugh, "Fine, you're all set."

"What do you want to do?" Mu Jiangli shuddered.

"Nothing."

Lu Jing gave a sinister smile, and Mu Jiangli immediately panicked, imagining a series of scenarios where Lu Jing would make things difficult for her.

"Lord Lu, I was wrong. I really enjoy taking care of people!"

Mu Jiangli quickly tried to smooth things over with a smile, but Lu Jing remained silent.

that's it.

The porridge is prepared by the pear tree.

Lu Jing led Qi Xiaomei and the others into the mountains to collect herbs.

The other female prisoners weren't to be idle either. Lu Jing ordered them to move all the stones from the base of the wall to outside the temple so he could inspect them when he returned, thus training their upper body strength.

Deep in the mountains and forests, Lu Jing, relying on his years of wilderness survival experience, walked upstream along the stream and found a sheltered mountain wall recess. This place was surrounded by stone walls on three sides, which could naturally retain heat.

There was a stream nearby, so the medicine furnace was built on the shallow beach by the stream, and the water flow was used to cool and control the temperature during the alchemy process.

After selecting the site, he led the female prisoners to find many blue pebbles in the stream. These pebbles were rich in silicates, resistant to high temperatures, and were most suitable for use as 'firebricks'.

After having 'bricks', you also need 'mortar'.

Lu Jing then led everyone to dig kaolin, then burned wood ash, boiled kudzu root into a paste and stirred it to make an adhesive. When the three were mixed together, its heat resistance was comparable to modern cement.

With the bricks and mud all prepared, Lu Jing began to build a gourd-shaped inverted cone-shaped stove along the stone wall.

It is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, with an air inlet at the bottom, a constricted opening at the top to gather air, and an expanded waist to hold medicinal herbs.

After a busy half-day, a simplified version of an alchemy furnace was finally completed.

But it wasn't over yet. Lu Jing then cut down thick bamboo, removed the nodes, and sealed the joints with wet mud to make a piston-like bamboo bellows.

Using this to refine elixirs is called "blowing the wind".

"Oh my God."

Standing in front of the alchemy furnace, Qi Xiaomei and the others shouted in unison.

"Ouch!"

Ye Qingqing bent down, running her index finger along the cracks in the mud and stones, and exclaimed in amazement, "Even the best bricklayers in the surrounding villages can't do this kind of work so skillfully, Lord Lu! How can you do everything?"

"Yes!" Qi Xiaomei and the others nodded in unison, "They can do everything!"

Lu Jing was carrying herbs: "Once I've taught you all how to do it, I won't have to do these chores anymore. What are you all standing there for? Come and lend a hand."

"Hey hey!"

The women quickly went over to help, and together they sorted the picked medicinal herbs and put them into the prepared bundles.

While I was busy working, a familiar rhythm suddenly rang out from the woods.

Lu Jing suddenly looked up.

It's that piper!

Putting down the herbs in his hand, Lu Jing secretly turned around to look for them.

The sound isn't far away; it must be nearby.
