Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

After hearing Zhu Yunhuan's explanation, Qin Kui showed a confused look on his face, as if he understood but not quite. It was obvious that he didn't quite understand.

I could only frown.

I tried to memorize Zhu Yunhuan's words in my mind:

"Steel, properties...content..."

"Coal..."

"Blow... blow... what are you blowing? Hiss..."

Of course, rote memorization of things you don't understand won't work, even if you are the most learned scholar in the world today. Especially since these sentences involve concepts that ordinary people in this era have no idea about.

Qin Kui naturally ended up in failure in the end.

His face was almost wrinkled with distress... He looked at Zhu Yunhuan several times with evasive eyes. He wanted to ask but was afraid that Zhu Yunhuan would think he was incompetent and useless.

Fortunately at this time.

Ma Sanbao had considerately brought over an agarwood tray with paper, pen and ink on it, which he respectfully handed to Zhu Yunhuan.

Zhu Yunhuan didn't say much.

He just casually picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote down what he had just said on the paper on the tray.

Qin Kui is a serious and capable person.

Zhu Yunhuan naturally would not be so malicious as to embarrass him.

Ma Sanbao put the tray away and carefully dried the ink on the rice paper before handing it to Qin Kui: "Master Qin, keep it."

Qin Kui took the rice paper and breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the thin piece of paper in his hand, Qin Kui was momentarily incredulous. "Although I can't understand what you're saying, but... a few words are enough to solve such a difficult problem?"

Of course, this was just a fleeting thought. He immediately realized that his thinking was still restricted by that inherent cognition.

"Ugh! You've seen so many horrific things, and yet I'm still applying common sense to Your Majesty! Even that extreme quality steel was forged under Your Majesty's guidance, so what Your Majesty says must be right!"

Qin Kui immediately put aside his doubts.

After carefully putting away the rice paper, he respectfully bowed to Zhu Yunhuan and apologized with some shame, "It is my incompetence."

Zhu Yunhuan certainly didn't care about the manifestation of the times. He waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It's okay. If you don't understand, you naturally won't remember it."

Zhu Yunhuan's casual remark did not carry any special meaning.

But when Qin Kui heard it, he felt secretly annoyed - it was all his fault that he had seen and understood too little!

"When I have some free time later, I will definitely consult with the Taoist priests of the Alchemy Department. Otherwise, I won't be able to do my job properly for His Majesty!"

Qin Kui began to reflect secretly in his heart.

At the same time, he maintained a humble attitude and replied, "If I don't understand, it's my incompetence. Your Majesty doesn't blame me, it's a sign of your kindness."

Although the other party was still frantically taking the blame for a very small mistake, Zhu Yunhuan didn't say anything more. This was the characteristic of this era - in front of the emperor, whether you were wrong or not, it was your fault.

Zhu Yunhuan simply brushed aside the topic.

Returning to the main topic, he said, "This latest generation of springs is quite good. You've done a great job. Although it's a small thing, it has a wide range of applications. In the short term, the equipment upgrades and durability of the weaving bureaus and weaving workshops under your Ministry of Industry will be greatly improved; in the long term..."

Looking further ahead, when the basic conditions are prepared and solidified, Ming Dynasty will gradually promote industrialization, and it will be of greater use.

However, Qin Kui didn't understand what he said, so Zhu Yunhuan stopped talking here and didn't continue.

He stopped talking and smiled faintly, "You've done a good job this time. You haven't delayed anything in the tasks I assigned you before. You've done them well and efficiently. Therefore... Minister of Works Qin Kui, you deserve a reward for your meritorious service!"
