Xie Zhun listened as if it were expected.
He turned to Ning Xi'er and asked, "Xi'er, do you have any tools to detect and identify the types of minerals?"
Ning Xi'er thought about it and realized there really was one.
Several sets of instruments and equipment that were initially provided as aid to foreign countries were stored in the material storage space in case of malfunction.
It delays the construction period, increases costs, and also affects diplomacy between the two countries.
The aid recipients have harsher environments but are rich in minerals, though their mining technology is limited.
Therefore, Ning Xi'er's space is fully equipped with instruments and equipment for exploration, analysis, excavation, and mining.
"Alright! Xi'er, do you think it would be more convenient for Zheng Ye and his senior brother to go and collect the ore for you to test, or for you to go with them?"
Ning Xi'er, however, was not thinking about these things.
Minerals are usually buried deep underground. If they are dug by manpower, it is not only time-consuming and laborious, but the noise caused may also disturb other people.
"I'll go with them!"
With just one sentence, Xie Zhun had already guessed what she was considering.
Xie Zhun then asked, "If there are no bamboo or other trees used for papermaking, can existing vines or horsetail grass be used for papermaking?"
Ning Xi'er thought about it carefully and replied, "Theoretically it's possible, but the vines here are scarce, and they are currently the villagers' main source of food, so it's really not suitable to use them..."
Horsetail might work, I could give it a try, but the quantity would likely be limited. Even if successful, it wouldn't be suitable for large-scale production, and the results might not be ideal.
Their initial intention in inventing paper was to facilitate writing and to revolutionize the current production process...
At the same time, by capturing the paper market, we can earn immeasurable profits for our future business.
Products unsuitable for large-scale promotion are not worth considering.
Any idea that competes with the people for profit is not a good idea.
Ning Xi'er had a preliminary idea in mind and planned to go to the site with Qin Yuan and others to conduct an on-site investigation before making a decision.
When Xie Zhun was examined, it was the first time he had ever seen a precision instrument made of steel, or perhaps a piece of convenient paper and a writing pen...
Even though there are many other novelties in the medical space, Xie Zhun and Ning Xi'er's discussion about steel and improved manufacturing technology will bring unparalleled benefits to the Great Yan.
It may even affect Qi and Jin, bringing blessings to far-reaching regions.
Xie Zhun understood immediately, and just as he finished speaking, he saw the village chief.
He helped inquire about the situation; he had just returned from Pingyuan County.
When the village chief saw Xie Zhun and Ning Xi'er, he assumed they were genuinely unwell and had been taken away by the old Taoist priest Xingming to recuperate...
So upon meeting, he immediately inquired about their health.
After exchanging pleasantries, the village chief introduced the situation in Pingyuan.
After the two constables returned with their colleagues, the bodies of the condemned prisoners and the bandits, the magistrate of Pingyuan County flew into a rage.
He immediately tried to silence them, but was stopped by the men Yan Lang had sent with him.
If the two survivors die, the cause of Meng Yi's death may also remain unclear...
Instead, it ended up affecting Yan Lang.
The magistrate of Pingyuan County was thwarted in his attempt to silence the witnesses. Two constables, desperate to save their own lives, shouted loudly, causing an internal conflict with the magistrate...
The impact is very bad.
The officials of the prefecture naturally knew better than anyone why the immortal spirit of Pingyuan was like this.
They wanted to turn a blind eye, but public anger was rising.
It's one thing to find a reason for one or two death row inmates to escape, but twenty of them escaped!
They even mingled with bandits, and the constables and the magistrate of Pingyuan County were at odds...
The people quickly learned who was imprisoned in the desolate region.
Soon, the rumors that spread were almost entirely true.
In order to control the situation, the prefectural officials petitioned the imperial court to dismiss the magistrate of Pingyuan County and transfer him elsewhere.
The problem is that Pingyuan is located near barren lands with little economic benefit, so officials are generally unwilling to come here.
Some even imagined that the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, the Third Prince, or the forces behind them were showing goodwill and were willing to act as pawns...
Unexpectedly, Xue Lin from Yongning also submitted an application.
"Guess what happened?"
Xie Zhun smiled; the answer was self-evident.
