Genius Ninth Princess

Chapter 29

"Death penalty!" Yin Xing Tan says again. "Those officials exploited my people at will in my name. They have shamed the gods and let the people down. It is only just that they be killed. Today I shall have the official system corrected! Yun'er, what strategies do you have?" Yin Xing Tan looks at his daughter with satisfied gaze.

Yin Yun smiles at her father. "Establish the personnel evaluation system and list disaster relief results as an evaluation item for annual promotion of recruiting officials in all regions. This will force them to care about disaster victims. Your Majesty, please send out censors to punish the corrupted officials. All the people the right to report any offenses. Once the report are verified officials will be punished according to the laws. Anyone who intercepts the report will be regarded as accomplices. Among the corrupted officials some are unscrupulous corrupted, while others covet little. Your Majesty should differences and punish accordingly."

"Those who embezzled more than 100 gold taels from the relief funds should all be killed." The Emperor said in a domineering aura.

"However there are too many corrupted officials, we can't kill many of them all at once. There aren't enough officials to replace them either. As we impose sanctions, we should also recruit more new talents believe that in terms of appointing new officials Your Majesty is the best judge of that."

Everyone in the court nodded their heads whereas the Right Prime Minister and Yan Chen both had dark faces. A 14 year old girl could think up great plans and strategies at her age, how about battles? Even if she can't help assist with battles, she is able to greatly help her country, such a Crown Princess is very needed. If she can also do battle strategy then that's even better.

"My daughter is so talented. Hehe. Prime Minister Li, in regards to recruiting and appointing officials, I'll leave the task to you." The Left Prime Minister was overjoyed as he steps forward and gave his thanks.

Court was soon over. The officials their friends what happened in court. Their friends told their friends. The servants also heard them and told their friends, soon everyone in the capital knew of Yin Yun's talents. Now, she's no longer a good for nothing.

After everyone left the court, Yin Yun and the Emperor were alone after he waved his eunuchs and maids away.

"Yun'er, you bought a cauldron at the auction house. You must be trying to refine something."

Yin Yun nods at the Emperor's word.

"However, you have never learned how to refine anything before. I'll find a good teacher for you."

"..."

"You don't want to?"

Yin Yun nodded her head.

"Father, I'll be fine. Fu Ling and the rest is probably waiting for me at the manor so I'll be leaving now." Yin Yun saluted and turned around.

After a few steps, she stopped and turned back around to face her father.

"Father, can you send some clothes to my manor?"

"Of course."

After getting the clothes problem out of her mind, Yin Yun left the court.

-------
Yin Yun went to the market to buy the ingredients for the pill she's manufacturing. Picking the Basheng Hall, Yin Yun stepped inside. The medical smell filled her nostrils as she breathes. Yin Yun walked up to the clerk, who was reading his book.

"I want 50 sets of Sweet Nut and Big Colon Leaf." The items asked was very common. The clerk didn't even raise his head from his book.

"Xi'er, get 50 sets of Sweet Nut and Big Colon Leaf." Following his shout, a girl dressed in green arrived with a tray. What Yin Yun asked for are on the tray.

"This will cost you 750 silver teals." Still, he didn't even look at her as he speaks.

"I only have gold. You can keep the change." Since he didn't even care about her, then there's also no reason for her to be polite with him. Yin Yun swiped the items on the try into her storage ring and left the hall. After Yin Yun's silhouette was gone from sight, the old clerk putted down his book and went upstairs.

When Yin Yun got to her manor, she saw crowds surrounding her manor. It took Yin Yun some time to push through the people. Looking at the scene in front of her, Yin Yun's face got dark.

There was rows of carriages filled with luxurious clothes, furnitures, and gold. After this, who knows how many people will try to steal from her manor. They can see a big fat sheep on their cutting board right now. The manor was simple which indicates in their eyes someone from a simple background. And then there are the goods being delivered. Yin Yun felt the urges to go up to her father and lecture him.

Yin Yun ignores the look as she enters the manor. Fu Ling and company were recording the items as a few servants from the palace stores them. They saluted as Yin Yun came in their sights but the new palace servants hasn't know who Yin Yun was but seeing the actions from Fu Ling and the rest, they also saluted.

"I'll be in the west quarters. Don't disturb me."

"Yes."

Yin Yun picked a empty and clean room from the west quarters of the manor to refine pills. Yin Yun took out the 50 sets of Sweet Nut and Big Colon Leaf and laid them out on the table. She then proceeded to take out the Heavenly Red Lotus out. Yin Yun is refining a red ranked Refreshing Elixir. You need 1 Sweet Nut and 10 Big Colon Leaf. The average amount during each refinement is 15 Refreshing Elixir, the great success would be 18 Refreshing Elixir. Having settled up everything needed, Yin Yun begin the refinement process.

Swish!

With a flick of her finger, a fire lit atop the tip of her finger. With a gentle wave, the fire headed towards the cauldron, activating it.

When the red-hot fire light shone on Yin Yun's white face, she already had an appearance that could flip a country despite her young age.

This was the first time Yin Yun refined pills, so after a short moment, her flame dimmed, and a burnt smell filled her nose indicating that the medicinal plants within the cauldron was wasted......

"Failed? Again!" Yin Yun sneered as from her memories, the words giving up was not in her dictionary.

Swish!

A fire was lit again, violently igniting the cauldron.

Having experienced failure, her control had improved....

During the night, Yin Yun failed numerous times. There was a pile of ashes from the medicinal plants at her side. Yin Yun's forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat. Her determined and persistent look made her more charming and bewitching.
