The results of his research will be shown to her, and after she has seen them, she will point out the uses of these things.
Others might not know how to use it.
There are also some results that even the inventors themselves might not know what they can do.
Xiao Zhixing would then guide them in their research direction and tell them what could be done with the research results.
The sudden inspiration struck everyone at the Institute of Crafts, and they immediately began to delve deeper into their research.
For example, there was a guy named Cen Heng who tinkered with something that looked like a bronze drum, but he was completely clueless about what it could do.
Therefore, he was very uneasy before submitting the results, feeling that he had wasted Prince Yuansheng's money.
Xiao Zhixing was overjoyed when he saw the research results.
This is actually a powerful weapon that resembles a seismograph.
She immediately responded and made sure that Dugu Ren would pay close attention and fully support Cen Heng's research.
Upon receiving Xiao Zhixing's handwritten reply, Cen Heng felt as if his meridians had been instantly unlocked, and he threw himself into a frenzied effort to rectify and improve the research.
For example, a young man named Qin Qiu had a brilliant idea and created a magical artifact similar to a celestial globe, which Xiao Zhixing also guided and paid attention to.
After that, prototypes of things like compasses, anti-inflammatory medicine, conveyor belts, simple flying machines, wooden oxen and horses, soap, glass, mortise and tenon structures, and the principle of steam engines all appeared.
Xiao Zhixing couldn't help but feel excited every time he saw their research inspiration and results.
Ancient scientists were not lacking; what they lacked was the opportunity to be discovered.
She came here specifically at the invitation of the people at Baigongyuan to meet with them in person as pen pals.
As their spiritual mentor, she was regarded as their teacher, close friend, and the person who understood them best in the world.
Therefore, when Xiao Zhixing appeared, the crowd did not treat her as a prince, but as a long-time friend.
One by one, people came over, some happy, some excited, some shy, some directly bringing the latest results to ask for advice.
Xiao Zhixing admired their purity and passion, so he moved chairs and a long table on the spot and began to discuss the research progress with them one by one, offering guidance and advice.
[Red comment: So, what exactly can't Xiao Zhixing do? She's amazing! We're starting to suspect she's a time-traveling god!]
[Yellow comment: It's said that Princess Yuansheng was the first expert in this field. We guess our prince was influenced by his mother, which is why he's so skilled at these things.]
[Yellow comment: Hmph, so arrogant, just because our prince is naturally gifted doesn't mean he can't be.]
[Green barrage: Hah—] Envy, jealousy, and hatred again.
[Red comment: Seeing this, we roughly understand why the third dimension has been glorious for a thousand years. If things continue like this, as long as Xiao Zhixing lives, these policies and constructions will continue, and things will inevitably turn out well.]
[Yellow comment: Hehe, hehe, we're laughing triumphantly~~]
The green bullet comments are swearing again; no showing off allowed.
Xiao Zhixing spent the whole day at the Hundred Crafts Institute with them, and when it was time to leave, everyone was reluctant to part.
Despite her small stature, Qin Qiu was incredibly bold. With her bright, puppy-like eyes, she looked at her and said, "Your Highness, please stay a couple more days. We have many more ideas to share with you."
Xiao Zhixing smiled and said, "I apologize, but I am very busy and cannot stay any longer. However, I am always concerned about your research results, and I look forward to the changes you will make to this world!"
Elder Luo led the way, bowing respectfully, "We will certainly not fail Your Highness's kindness!"
He was considered the leader of the group.
Xiao Zhixing then instructed Dugu Ren to take good care of everyone and not let them forget to eat and sleep while they were engrossed in their research.
"Only with good health can one have a longer future. You all must listen to me. From now on, follow Dugu Ren to practice your skills. Remember to eat and rest. Research cannot be rushed."
"If you have any further needs, please let me know, and I will certainly relieve your worries."
The group expressed their deepest gratitude, thinking to themselves that the prince was a truly kind person who not only supported their research but also took good care of them in every way. He even promised to share the profits with them when the results were put to use.
They are now all quite wealthy, ensuring their families' financial security and allowing them to hold their heads high. Naturally, they are full of enthusiasm for their research.
Xiao Zhixing left with some promising results, leaving the production operations to Ning Jin and the Ghost Guard.
These things can not only change the world and benefit people, but also bring her a continuous stream of wealth.
Among them, the seismograph is nearing completion. She will continue to communicate and research this thing with Cen Heng, and it must be developed as soon as possible.
They returned to the garden behind the government office where they were temporarily staying.
Having just finished dinner, Ning Jin was made to drink a nourishing soup by Bi He's watchful eye, and then she requested an audience.
"Your Highness, the salt field by the sea has been successfully built, and the first batch of sea salt will soon be produced. As for the natural lake salt you mentioned, your subordinates have searched all over the north and found it in Beixiong County. The estimated annual output is over eight million catties."
Ning Jin's face was beaming with joy; he knew all too well what this meant.
Salt has always been associated with enormous profits; whoever controls it will inevitably become incredibly wealthy.
Of course, after this thing was nationalized, ordinary people could not produce it, and there were also regulations on its sale.
The majority of salt consumed on the Qian Yuan Continent is well salt, which is produced in small quantities and has a poor taste, yet it is still a scarce commodity.
It is a strategic material.
Apart from the imperial court, no one dared to touch them; to do so would result in execution or being targeted and having one's family destroyed.
Except for Xiao Zhixing.
She had even submitted a memorial to the emperor, stating that a new type of salt had been discovered in the northern region and that she planned to produce it, requesting the emperor's knowledge.
She wouldn't forget to pay taxes to the imperial court, and she would decide how much to pay.
The Emperor System flew into a rage again, shouting, "You bastard, you bastard, that's salt!!"
So much silver! Its heart is bleeding.
It once wanted to get into the sea salt business, but it didn't have a single person it could trust. Salt is something that has to be sold to become wealth, so it's not easy to hide.
At that time, it did not want Zhao Yunqi to know about its hidden forces.
In the end, that idea had to be shelved.
Now Xiao Zhixing has used it against it, and it's furious—it must be those materials Xiao Yan copied that Xiao Zhixing taught! Damn it!
Xiao Zhixing, who usually enjoys watching the system rage online, listened attentively to Ning Jin's report and then smiled, "Uncle Jin, you've worked hard. This matter will benefit future generations. The people will be able to buy high-quality, low-priced white salt. You can arrange how to operate it."
"Remember, control the shipment volume initially." Those salt smugglers can't be defeated all at once; they have to be let close in slowly.
Ning Jin then brought up the construction of the trading company.
"Having followed your suggestion, Your Highness, the personnel structure of the merchant guild is complete. You are the highest-ranking officer, with subordinates..."
Xiao Zhixing plans to implement corporate management for Beizhou Commercial Bank, with herself, several investors, and Beizhou officials serving as chairpersons.
Ning Jin was appointed as the executive manager, and the various departments and personnel under him performed their respective duties.
Beizhou Trading Company will become Beizhou Group in the future, becoming the first national-level commercial group.
This is her idea, but its specific implementation will definitely require continuous reform and cannot be accomplished overnight.
After seeing Ning Jin off, she wrote a letter to Feng Zhen'er, saying that Dongzhou had so much coastline that it couldn't be wasted.
I'm sure she's interested in sea salt. Dongzhou is so close, they could collaborate.
Speaking of Feng Zhen'er, one thinks of Feng Yong. As a result, people can't help but think of her, and that very night, Feng Yong's messenger arrived.
