Chapter 127 This is a Divine Man
"No, Flowey!"
Ji Qionghua shook her head and pointed at Huahua who was squatting on the wall.
[You can't leave. There are gods here.]
[When the Bihai Chamber of Commerce brings the cotton back, we will need the gods here to process it. ]
【Hurry up, or you won’t be able to catch up. 】
Ji Qionghua shook his head and sighed.
She originally wanted to lie down and do nothing, but seeing her father and brother busy with the people's winter preparations, she couldn't just stand by and watch.
The processing technology after the mature cotton is brought back is more important.
There are several cotton seeds in a cotton flower, and it would be too slow to remove them manually.
This requires the help of tools.
However, the Ministry of Industry is currently busy with shipbuilding and cannot spare the manpower to start from scratch.
She had no choice but to go out herself and find some skilled craftsmen for the Ministry of Works.
"Well, after you go in, you can't leave my arms, okay?"
Lin Yao placed her fingers behind her back and gestured, signaling the secret guards who were following her to follow closely.
After the little guy pretended to nod in confusion, Lin Yao signaled the servants to wait outside and walked in carrying Ji Qionghua.
In winter, the stench in the alley is not very noticeable.
It’s just that those pairs of malicious eyes were too abrupt.
Ji Qionghua rested her chin on Lin Yao's shoulder and looked straight into those eyes.
The little princess's beautiful big eyes were as clear and clean as a spring.
There was no fear or disgust there.
As if to encompass everything.
Several beggars stared at Ji Qionghua, then finally retracted their gazes and calmed down.
It was quiet all the way.
Those people seemed to have sensed something, and no matter how much they coveted it, no one took action.
Until the two men left them.
"Is this the princess who protects the country?"
"She's really pretty."
"hey-hey……"
Various sounds echoed in the alley.
Finally, the tabby cat stopped at the gate of a dilapidated courtyard. Standing outside, one could hear knocking sounds coming from inside.
"Meow~"
The tabby cat barked at Ji Qionghua a few times, then squatted on the wall, wagging its tail and watching.
[Good boy, I'll give you some dried fish when I get home today. ]
"Meow!"
Ji Qionghua touched the cat's head in mid-air.
Lin Yao pretended not to see the smooth communication between the man and the cat and raised her hand to knock on the door.
After a few knocks, I clearly heard the sound inside pause, and I guess it was someone knocking on the door.
But soon, the knocking sound continued, and the person inside showed no intention of opening the door.
Lin Yao continued to knock on the door.
Very polite, neither hurried nor slow, but the noise inside continued.
"Meow~"
Huahua cried out and jumped into the yard. A sound came from behind the door, and after a creak, the door opened.
It was Huahua who opened the door.
After the door opened, Lin Yao saw the situation in the yard.
A middle-aged man with an unshaven beard was squatting in the yard, studying a broken machine.
Even if his door was opened by a cat, he would just take a casual look and then continue.
The ding-ding-dong-dong sound is quite rhythmic.
"Sir, we are here to visit."
There was no choice but for Lin Yao to speak up and say hello.
The man did not respond, and even twisted his body, with his back to the two of them, looking like he didn't mind them.
Lin Yao was helpless because of the resistance from the whole body.
[Oh my, he's still a socially anxious weirdo. 】
Ji Qionghua signaled Lin Yao to put her down.
Lin Yao did as she was told when she could hear the secret guards surrounding the small courtyard.
The little guy stuck out his butt and walked into the small yard with difficulty.
The little princess's cute appearance was too outrageous, even those with social anxiety couldn't help but take a few more glances.
At this glance, the man's originally distracted eyes stopped on the little princess and became sharp.
Lin Yao stood behind Ji Qionghua calmly.
Once the other party makes any improper move, she can react in time.
In fact, the man didn't intend to do anything. He just stared at the corner of the drawing that was exposed in the little princess's arms.
The lines on it were immature and crooked, looking like a ghost drawing.
This was the masterpiece the little princess created before she went out. I don't know when she put it in her arms.
"You like rice?"
Ji Qionghua blinked, took out the paper and handed it to the other party.
Although Dachen had the technology to make paper, the quality of the paper was not good. Even the supplies used in the royal palace had an indelible yellow tint and looked cheap.
It is also very easy to smudge, so be careful when applying.
After spreading out the paper, Lin Yao couldn't figure out what the black mess was.
But the man was shocked.
He snatched the paper away, leaned over to look at it, and muttered something.
Then, without caring about the two strangers who came into the house, he started swinging towards the pile of things in the yard.
Disassemble, reassemble, and polish some parts carefully.
The other party's hands were very fast, and it seemed that he had already memorized every step. Even if it was a brand new concept, he could get the hang of it very quickly.
Lin Yao looked at the other person, unable to tell his identity from these.
But she understood why Qiong Huaer said that she had to have him.
[This person’s ancestor was the one who invented papermaking. ]
In the era of tyrants in the previous dynasty, although people lived in misery under the high pressure, many extraordinary people were born.
Papermaking was invented at that time.
Unfortunately, the family that invented papermaking disappeared after providing the technology to the imperial court, and later people had no idea how to improve it.
When Dachen was first established, the ancestor emperor had searched for that family but to no avail.
Who could have thought that the descendants of the paper-making genius would live in such a place and lead such a hard life.
After waiting for a long time, a strangely shaped wooden product appeared in front of them.
[The first crude pedal-operated cotton gin was born.]
【Amazing. 】
Ji Qionghua walked over and took a few looks.
She was not a good painter, and in order to avoid being discovered, her paintings were very abstract.
She was amazed that the other party could recognize it and draw inspiration from it.
Beside him, the man nodded heavily.
He also thinks he is very powerful.
But after nodding, he realized belatedly that the little guy in front of him didn't say anything at all.
The little guy, whose teeth haven't even grown yet, can't stand for a while.
She climbed onto the chair and sat there, dangling her feet and babbling bubbles from her mouth.
No matter how you look at it, he looks just like an ordinary kid... what the hell.
The man's eyes suddenly turned horrified.
He pointed at Ji Qionghua, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn't.
【Why is he shaking like crazy?】
The little princess was unaware of anything and just looked at the other person obediently, grinning.
[How can we lure this person to the Ministry of Industry? Mr. Zhao must like him.]
【This is a descendant of the Mohist school. 】
Due to the different historical processes, the various schools of thought are not so famous in the history here.
However, there are also many outstanding characters. The Mo Gong in front of us is the descendant of the Mohist school.
It's just that the other person is socially anxious by nature and not good at communicating with others, so all his talents and knowledge are covered up.
