To be honest, the blueprints in the documents looked remarkably similar to the machinery that the craftsman was currently building.
If he can actually do it, it would indeed be a good thing for the people.
Looking around, everyone seemed very busy, making her appear quite idle.
To be honest, I didn't see anything particularly amazing. After all, Zheng Quchi has seen all sorts of strange and wonderful things in modern society.
But there are many things that are useful to the people and their livelihoods. They are all developing their abilities and creating equipment that benefits the people and the country to the best of their ability.
What do you call this feeling?
Zheng Quchi felt as if he had stepped into the tide of history. Would their future deeds be recorded in the Records of the Grand Historian and be studied, discussed, and praised by later generations?
Analyzing feudal society in light of modern history, low productivity indicates underdeveloped technology.
However, the era she now lives in is not as anti-commercial and anti-agricultural as her world. Industrialists and businessmen can also develop, but they are still firmly controlled by the state.
This also stifled development, as wealthy merchants lacked the motivation to improve technology. When society's technology was basically stagnant, without technological progress, agriculture and construction could not possibly advance either.
When productivity remains at a low level, this is why the State of Ye is currently backward, vulnerable to attack, and criticized.
Commercial development is a major driving force for technological progress, but who would buy products from Ye Kingdom?
In everyone's mind, everything produced in Ye Kingdom is labeled as inferior, bad, unoriginal, rough, and unpresentable.
She thought that if Ye Kingdom wanted to develop, it had to innovate.
Let the people below create wealth, instead of just being content with self-sufficiency. The country should be supported by the people, not through exploitation, but through innovation and wealth creation to stimulate economic development.
Sigh, worrying about the country and its people is useless. The first priority now is to find a way to win money so that her car can be successfully launched.
On his first day at the camp, Zheng Quchi basically just familiarized himself with the surroundings before it got dark.
Some craftsmen worked tirelessly to finish their work and refused to leave, while others, who had no ideas at the moment, left early.
Everyone was immersed in their creative passion, and even if a newcomer joined them, they would just treat her like a wooden stake and not pay her any special attention.
Zheng Quchi originally planned to fight alone, and her goal was to win at the Jichun Craftsmen's Guild.
But after touring around, she realized that she could actually achieve a win-win situation with them. They had their weaknesses, and so did she. Therefore, the best way to defeat the powerful craftsmen from other countries was to work together as one.
She wants to win, and she'll stop at nothing to achieve it.
Although she didn't want to be a general's wife, she wanted to be a valuable and accomplished craftswoman.
Who doesn't want to shine in their industry and achieve great things? She's not as "unambitious" as they say; she has her own ambitions. She wants to become a master of all trades and start her own business to get rich!
After expressing his grand ideals, Zheng Quchi returned to reality.
She was penniless and would be truly broke if she lost her job. What other work could she do if she didn't become a craftswoman?
No, the city wall is repaired, but they still owe her two strings of cash. Yuwen Sheng also promised her a raise. She can back down on other things, but withholding wages from migrant workers is absolutely unacceptable. She has to get the money back.
At this moment, she remembered what Yuwen Sheng had told her before, that he would send someone to pick her up after work.
Seeing that most of the people had left, she looked around and saw a handsome young man with dark skin, dressed in military armor, waiting by the door.
This outfit clearly doesn't belong to an ordinary soldier; he must be at least a minor officer in the military.
Is it him?
She deliberately waited until most of the craftsmen had left and it was dark, and only when no one was paying attention to her did she jog over like a secret agent making a rendezvous: "Was it you who asked me to come pick me up?"
Um... does that refer to the general?
The man paused for a moment, then looked Zheng Quchi up and down before respectfully saying, "Madam, the general sent me to fetch you. My name is Runtu, Commander of the Xuanjia Cavalry."
Xuanjia Cavalry Commander?
What kind of position is this? It sounds impressive. She didn't know much about these official positions in Ye Kingdom, mainly because she wasn't well-educated and didn't understand the situation here. She decided not to ask, lest she expose her lack of knowledge.
Zheng Quchi raised a friendly smile and said, "That Commander Runqi, I'd like to go back to Hegou Village..."
Runtu nodded: "Madam, rest assured, the general has made arrangements. Tonight, I will escort you back by carriage, and tomorrow at dawn, I will take you back to camp."
"He made the arrangements?"
She was stunned; she had thought he had sent Runtu to fetch her to the main military tent.
"Yes, the general said that the lady will definitely go home tonight, so he ordered his subordinates to escort you. If you want to remove your disguise, we will take you to see Lord Fu first. If the lady feels that her current makeup is fine, she can go back directly."
"And what about him?"
"The general has something to report."
"What's up?"
"Official business."
"What business is it?"
"..."
Her relentless barrage of questions left Runtu speechless.
This soldier was truly like a block of wood, responding only once in response. While he wasn't exactly silent, he certainly wouldn't say an extra word.
Where did Yuwen Sheng find this talent? Was he specifically brought here to deal with people like her who like to make connections, chat, and pry?
Seeing that he was silent, Zheng Quchi changed the subject again: "I won't take it off, to avoid trouble. If General Yuwen is not available, then I will trouble Commander Runqi to escort me back first. However, be careful not to be seen by anyone."
