After several identifications, Yelu Aodao said:
"Your Majesty, your country has so much black iron. Can we exchange some for research?"
As he spoke, he took out a brocade box from his arms, and when he opened the lid, a burst of fragrance wafted out.
In the box, there lay a silver-white bead, emitting a faint white light under the light.
"This object is called the East Pearl, collected from the deepest part of the East China Sea. It has the power to dispel cold and illuminate. Nan Chu is willing to exchange the East Pearl for the kitchen knife. I hope Your Majesty will grant your approval."
Emperor Shunde looked embarrassed. He looked at the ministers and then at Jun Shutong. Who would have thought that the heartless boy was actually eating melon seeds.
[Hey, what is the emperor looking at me for? ]
[Could it be that he doesn't want to change? He wouldn't be that stingy, would he?]
A flock of black crows flew over the emperor's head: [Am I being stingy? I'm just considering the overall situation. Forget it, you don't understand...]
[Don't be reluctant, just exchange it. It's just a pile of junk. I have plenty of space. I'll take some out tomorrow and give them away.]
[That oriental pearl looks incredibly valuable, and it can even emit a faint light. I really want it.]
[Host, that Dongzhu is much better than the one your mother gave you. It may have other benefits.]
[Really? I don't know if the emperor will agree. If he doesn't, I'll be at a huge loss.]
[Although I don’t know what its specific function is yet, I feel that it must have other effects.]
Ministers: You can’t give the black iron away for free, absolutely not.
Internal strife is one thing, external strife is another.
"I, Dayu, don't have much black iron like this. Considering the sincerity of the Nanchu envoy, let's exchange it!"
"But this is just this once, it won't happen again."
Yelu Ao and his companions were overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to express their gratitude.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After some more pleasantries, Emperor Shunde ordered his men to escort the envoy to the post station.
After seeing off the envoys from Southern Chu, Jun Shutong, the old man, and several ministers were kept back.
Imperial study.
"Jun girl, you..."
"Next time you find that black iron, can you call us along?"
Tang Mingyuan thought about it for a long time before he uttered these words.
"Okay, next time I find it, I will definitely call you."
Jun Shutong sighed helplessly: [Even if I gave it all to you, what can you come up with?]
[Besides treating it like "black iron", what else can be done?]
[Forget it, I'll bring out some bigger ones tomorrow to broaden your horizons!]
She didn't mind giving some to them for research, but she felt helpless and backward to be born in such an era.
Several people tried to ask her indirectly, but when they saw that the girl refused to reveal anything about the "black iron", they gave up the idea of finding out.
During this period, Jun Shutong was extremely busy. In addition to attending court every day, he also had to teach Yi and others how to recognize clocks when he returned home.
"Brother, why are your hour hand and minute hand the same length?"
"I've told you so many times that the hour hand should be shorter than the minute hand. Why can't you remember?"
Jun Fengting: "Sister, you only taught us once, and it was two months ago. Have you forgotten?"
Jun Shutong said uncertainly, "I only taught you once? That's impossible, right?"
"Sister, the last time you were in class, father was there too, and you said we were the worst class of students you had ever taught."
Jun Cheng'an also echoed.
"Tongtong, you praised grandma as the smartest, but you forgot that you only taught us once."
The old lady also came out to disrupt the show.
【Puff.】
Seeing her daughter's frustrated look, Yi couldn't help laughing in her heart, "You little bitch, I'll let you show off."
[Host, your elder and second brothers are right. This is the second time you've taught them a lesson.]
[Really? I completely forgot about that.]
"Ahem."
Jun Shutong cleared his throat awkwardly, his face inexplicably red.
"Well, then I will definitely teach you today. If you still can't learn, you won't have meat to eat tonight."
Three days later.
With the whole family's hard work and willingness, Jun Cheng'an was able to draw a clock by himself by the fifth class.
Even the old lady can make flexible use of the phrase "what time direction".
There is no way, the power of the sentence "If you still can't learn it, you will have no meat tonight" is too great.
Everyone thought that Jun Shutong was just joking, and even she herself was just talking nonsense, but no one expected that Yi would carry out this statement to the end.
Those who didn't remember could only eat vegetables. As a result, Jun Cheng'an was the one who learned the fastest. He was able to apply what he had learned to other situations. He simulated it several times with Jun Fengting and the guards, and each time was accurate.
"Miss, this method is really useful."
"Who says it's not true? In the past, we could only use up, middle, down, left, right, front, and back to determine the enemy's position, but it was only an approximate location, not as precise as it is now."
"Although our young lady is often beaten by the young lady, she is also very smart and can learn things even in her dreams. If you say that there is no god blessing the Jun family, I will never believe it even if I am beaten to death."
"Yes, I think so too. My whole family believes in Buddhism, but I don't know when the gods will bless our family."
"Then go and dream, maybe you can even dream of having a wife."
Since the day Jun Shutong went to court, all the original ten secret guards "abandoned the dark and turned to the light" and became upright guards.
Therefore, the ten of them became the most idle people in the Jun Mansion.
Only then were the strong men captured to accompany the young masters and ladies to practice new skills.
…
With the visits from Japan, West Vietnam, and South Chu, other countries on the mainland also followed suit and came to Dayu Kingdom.
