207 The Eccentric Wei Wusheng
Ming Zhiyan was looking at her bright smile, she also smiled and replied in a low voice, “You don’t have to be polite with me.”
Then, he helped her grind the ink while Jian Qingqing lowered her head and started writing quietly.
Her writing style now had its own style, and it was very smooth. It was different from the slender body of this era, and her personal style was very obvious.
It was not difficult to make thin salt on a large scale. When she watched documentaries in the past, she had seen some recipes for making salt from salt farms. However, in modern times, it was mechanized, so it could be changed to manual work. She could use a piece of paper to write out all the steps in detail.
Ming Zhiyan took a look and felt that it did not seem very difficult, but he did not know why no one had thought of it. Jian Qingqing, a girl who was only nine years old, could think of such a good idea, he originally did not care much about the recipe that she said she wanted to research into paper making. The little girl was curious, so he let her try it. Now, he felt that she might really be able to make it. After all, she was different from others.
He looked at the girl in front of him who was smiling happily and said solemnly, “Miss Jian, I thank you on behalf of the people of Great Wei.”
Jian Qingqing was shocked by his honorific. She waved her hands repeatedly and said in a flattered manner, “It’s okay, it’s okay. I am also a citizen of Great Wei. Only when Great Wei is well can we be well. Only when there is a country can there be a home.”
Ming Zhiyan had heard the saying ‘only when there is a country can we have a home’ more than once, this was a realization that many officials in the Imperial Court did not have. However, she was just a nine-year-old girl who had not studied much. Iin terms of ideology, she was far better than those who had lived for most of their lives.
He was slightly moved as he nodded and said, “Don’t worry. I will definitely handle this matter well. If you have any requests, you can tell me.”
Jian Qingqing smiled and replied, “Of course, I don’t worry about what you do! Then I’ll go and tell brother Lin First!”
Ming Zhiyan hummed in agreement. After she left, he took out the letter and wrote a page on it.
Of course, he would not take the credit for Lin Zhiqing. This credit could not only be exchanged for rewards. The most important thing was to be able to show his face in front of the Emperor and let him know that there was this person. This was more useful than any reward.
Therefore, credit should be given honestly. However, the reward could be exchanged for forgiveness of Lin Zhiqing’s crime. This request was put forward by Jian Qingqing and the Emperor would agree to it.
In the letter, she also requested for a formula to make paper.
After Jian Qingqing left, she went to take a look at Lin Zhiqing. He had not woken up yet, so she went to look for Wei Wusheng.
“Brother Wei, come with me to see Uncle Li. I want to take a look at his pulse.”
Wei Wusheng was fiddling with his medicinal herbs. He knew that the medicinal herbs Ming Zhiyan ordered people to send over were all high-grade medicinal herbs, but he did not have any of them. It was true that officials ate and used the best ones.
Hearing this, he said in a strange tone, “Oh, you still remember that I’m your Brother Wei? I thought that you would forget about everyone else after having Brother Ming. Since your Brother Ming is so good, you should ask him to teach you.”
Hearing his strange tone, black lines appeared on her forehead. It seemed that he still remembered that bowl of wonton. Why did this two-meter tall man like to be jealous like a child? Although she admitted that she had paid a lot of attention to Ming Zhiyan, she had never ignored other people.
She still had to coax him. She said coquettishly, “How could I? How about this, I’ll make you something to eat after I’m done. I guarantee that none of them have eaten it before!”
