The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

Chapter 204 Gu Yin Knows Jun Xiao’s Identity

"Who?"

"The person has left. He said someone from the capital came and asked you to come to the Jun Mansion tomorrow to discuss matters." The butler said respectfully.

tomorrow?

Gu Yin breathed a sigh of relief. It’s good that it’s not now.

The person coming from the capital should be sent by the Ministry of Works, but why did he go to Jun Lan’s mansion?

She remembered that she had not told Jun Lan about this. Could it be that the emperor had handed this matter over to Jun Lan?

The next day,

When Gu Yin went out, she saw her father waiting by the carriage and asked casually, "Dad, where are you going?"

Gu Huaiyi glared at her and said, "Let's talk about it after we get in the car!"

"You're going to Jun Mansion too?" Gu Yin was surprised.

Gu Huaiyi didn't answer her, but just snorted softly and got on the carriage first.

Who pissed off her dad?

Gu Yin was totally confused and got on the carriage with a bewildered look on his face.

"Dad, what are you doing at Jun Mansion?"

Gu Huaiyi did not answer but asked, "Then what are you doing in Jun Mansion?"

"Of course I have something to do!"

"What did you do outside without telling me again?"

Who could understand his shock when he received Jun Lan's post and learned that the emperor actually brought the Minister of Works to Ning County!

After the shock, I felt uneasy because the post also said that his daughter would go with him.

The Minister of Works was here, and the first thing Gu Huaiyi thought of was that his daughter, who was always good at making trouble, must have come up with something again.

"Dad... what you said is not right. What do you mean by going behind your back?" Gu Yin was unhappy. "I used to report everything I did to you, but you were too annoying and let me do it on my own..."

Gu Huaiyi choked and pointed at Gu Yin from a distance, "You..."

Gu Yin smiled and flattered, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely not get into trouble."

"Then why are you going this time?"

"It should be about movable type printing..." Although he didn't know why Jun Lan called his father, he couldn't let his father be blind, so Gu Yin told him everything he had done in recent days.

However, Gu Yin still underestimated the impact of movable type printing on the people of this dynasty.

When Gu Huaiyi heard that this technology could print books in large quantities and quickly, he stood up suddenly, completely forgetting that he was still in the carriage.

"Dad, calm down, calm down."

Gu Huaiyi held his head and sat back in his seat, saying unhappily, "Such a big thing, why didn't you discuss it with Dad in advance!"

"Ah? Dad, do you want to work alone?" Gu Yin asked in surprise.

"You little girl! What are you talking about? Such an important thing should of course be handed over to the court!"

Sure enough, Gu Yin was not surprised at all. Her father was devoted to the court and the people. If he wanted to make money with this technology, then the sun would rise from the west.

Gu Yin said proudly, "See, my father and I have the same idea. Look, someone from the imperial court has arrived."

Gu Huaiyi was really helpless and proud of Gu Yin. Now that things had come to this, he couldn't say much.

The father and daughter arrived at Junlan's mansion, and Lu Bo led them to the reception room.

As soon as Gu Yin entered the room, she saw Jun Xiao sitting at the top of the table and asked in surprise, "Master Jun, why are you here too?"

Because Jun Xiao had previously instructed those who knew his identity to keep it secret from Gu Yin, Gu Yin didn't know Jun Xiao's identity at this time. She only knew that he was Jun Lan's brother.

Gu Huaiyi stumbled and knelt down, even pulling Gu Yin to kneel down with him, and scolded in a low voice, "Yin'er, don't be rude!"

Then he knelt down and kowtowed to Jun Xiao, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

emperor?

Gu Yin was wondering why her father pulled her down, but what did she hear the next second?

emperor?

Gu Yin looked up in surprise, only to see Jun Xiao's narrow and long phoenix eyes looking at her with a smile.

"No need to be so polite, Lord Gu. Please stand up!"

Gu Yin's mind suddenly went blank, and she let her father pull her up.

"What? You haven't come back to life yet?"

A light laugh entered his ears, and Gu Yin suddenly came back to his senses.

Looking at the strange yet familiar face at the top, I still couldn't believe that the man who looked so unserious was actually the current emperor!

"Your Majesty, I am honored to see you. I lost my composure just now. Please forgive me..." Gu Yin finally found her voice.

Jun Xiao smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I won't eat anyone."

Ha ha……

Gu Yin put on a fake smile and walked to the left at Jun Xiao's signal. Seeing Jun Lan sitting in the upper seat on the left, she glared at him fiercely.

He actually kept it a secret from her!

Jun Xiao's smile unconsciously widened upon seeing this, and he looked at Jun Lan with an expression that showed he was enjoying a good show.

Jun Lan held his forehead helplessly, trying to divert their attention and said, "Now that everyone is here, why don't we discuss business?"

"Yes! Yes! Let's get down to business!" Shi Yunlong, who was sitting in the upper right seat, was very happy to hear this. "Could you please tell me more about the movable type printing technology you mentioned in your letter?"

"This is the Minister of Works of our dynasty, Lord Shi," Jun Lan introduced.

Gu Yin looked across and saw a man in his forties or fifties with some gray hair and a full beard. Then he looked at Shi Yuheng who was sitting on his left. It was hard to tell that they were father and son.

Gu Yin leaned forward and saluted, saying, "As the letter said, this movable type printing is mainly made of clay, wood and metal, and the process does not sound complicated."

"But to make it happen, it requires a lot of manpower and resources."

"First, the clay is washed and filtered to obtain mud, and then the mud is air-dried. After air-drying, the mud is repeatedly beaten to make a rough clay embryo. After air-drying, the rough clay embryo is ground dry, and then reverse characters are engraved and calcined... to obtain movable type."

"Finally, the prepared movable type is arranged according to the requirements and fixed on the rubbing board, then ink is applied and paper is covered to print the text."

"In this way, a rubbing board can be printed with the same content indefinitely as long as ink is continuously applied to it."

"This way, we can print as many books as we want!"

"Great!" Shi Yunlong finally put aside his worries. Although it has not been done yet, based on his half-life experience, he can be sure that this technology is feasible. "The county princess is so smart that she can come up with such a technology. It is really a blessing for the Daji Dynasty..."

"Mr. Shi, you are too kind..." Gu Yin was focused and felt no pressure when explaining the printing technique.

After being praised by Shi Yunlong, she immediately restrained her expression and sat up straight.

It is said that the heart of an emperor is as unfathomable as the sea. The emperor in front of me does not look like a tyrant, but what if I accidentally offend him?

So you’d better behave yourself, otherwise you might lose your life accidentally.

Jun Xiao noticed Gu Yin's small movements with his shrewd eyes. He turned the ring on his hand and asked with a smile, "How could the county lady be willing to hand over such important technology to the court?"

"I am not only a member of the Daji Dynasty, but also a county lord personally appointed by the emperor. Naturally, I hope that this technology can benefit the people of the Daji Dynasty..." Gu Yin looked righteous.

Jun Xiao's eyes flashed with a smile, and he said, "Oh? Really?"

"What about papermaking?"
