Beijing is a place with an excess of highly educated intellectuals.
Pang Jidong searched around Baijiang Province and only found a few botanists interested in Legal Botany, despite the presence of botanical institutions in the area.
Yet in Beijing, Qi Changye went around for two days and gathered over 20 botanists.
The expertise of these specialists was generally of high caliber.
However, this wasn't solely due to a sizeable presence of botanists. The case investigated by Zhengguang Bureau this time was also somewhat attractive.
When Qi Changye went to recruit people, he naturally used Jiang Yuan's cases in Beijing as promotional material where he could.
For Beijing's botanists, Legal Botany wasn't some utterly unfamiliar novelty either. It had started in the United States in the 1980s, and even earlier, in the sixties and seventies, the courts worldwide frequently required various plant identifications.
