Chapter 235 This group of people is hindering Daxia’s progress!

Mo Ju took out the design drawings he had drawn and explained them in detail to everyone.

Shen Sida was very interested in the small black wooden stick in his hand.

"What is this? It seems very convenient to draw it."

"This is a charcoal pencil. It is more convenient to draw with than a brush." ​​Mo Ju introduced to them the new things he had learned since arriving in Daxia.

"Master Qu said that after we find graphite, we can get pencils, which are more useful than charcoal pencils."

"This paper seems to be different from the one we used back then." Shen Pingzhi touched the thick paper and was a little surprised.

When you draw on this kind of paper, the ink won't bleed.

"This was also researched by Lord Qu and his people. They have a special paper mill in Daxia. They also have movable type printing. A book does not need people to copy it slowly. It can be printed out quickly." Mo Ju mentioned Qu Fufeng with admiration on his face.

"The Lord Qu you are talking about is the young man who just brought us here?" Shen Pingzhi's mouth widened in surprise.

"That's right." Mo Ju nodded.

"Could it be that the steam carriage was also the idea of ​​that Lord Qu?" Shen Pingzhi's voice trembled with excitement.

"Yes." Mo Ju confirmed their guess again.

Now all the Mohists were shocked.

Mr. Qu is so young, yet he has so many wonderful ideas.

After Mo Ju took them to see the things invented by Qu Fufeng and his people, the Mo family was left with only deep admiration for Qu Fufeng.

"He can think of so many things at the age of just over 20. As descendants of the Mohist school, you must not admit defeat." Seeing that they seemed to be hit, Shen Pingzhi spoke to boost morale.

"This Lord Qu has a lot of ideas, but he is not as good as us in practice. Otherwise, why would he need our help?"

"You are right." The others nodded, and without caring about going to the capital for sightseeing and entertainment, they plunged into the research and development of the steam carriage.

Originally they said they would have some fun when they arrived in the capital, but they didn't expect to be provoked by Mr. Qu.

What is there to play with? Since the steam carriage has not been built yet, how can they have the mood to play with it?

Qu Fufeng didn't know that although he had not shown up many times, he had silently inspired the fighting spirit of the Mo family.

Ever since the Mo family came, Mo Che felt that he was much more efficient.

Some thoughts that were unclear suddenly became clear.

They studied the steam carriage day and night, and finally saw the light of day after half a month.

“It’s moving, it’s moving!”

The Mo family was very excited.

They didn't need to shout, as the people from the Ministry of Industry couldn't help but come over to watch when they heard the noise.

Because the steam engine is too loud.

Everyone looked at Mo Che sitting in the car, steering the front of the car straight forward.

"Is it done? Is it done?" Qu Fufeng was right at the door. Hearing the noise and cheers, he ran over as fast as he could.

"It's done, it's done!" He didn't need anyone to answer him, he was so happy when he saw it.

But the next second he was no longer happy.

"Why stop?!" Mo Lu panicked.

When they were making it, they clearly designed a way to park the car, so why is there no response when I pull the brake handle now?

As they were about to hit the wall, Shin Pingzhi chased after them and shouted, "Jump out of the car! Jump out of the car!"

With his mind in a mess, Mo Ju immediately jumped out of the car.

The car hit the wall directly, the steam box at the front of the car was smashed, and the entire body of the car collapsed.

The expressions of everyone present changed.

Oh no.

The first steam carriage of Daxia was scrapped before the emperor even saw it.

"I, I don't know why I didn't react. How could I not react?" Mo Ju got up from the ground in a panic, feeling very guilty.

"It's okay. No one expected this to happen. Failure is normal. We can improve it and the next one will be better." Shen Pingzhi hurriedly comforted him.

"That's right, don't think too much. We must have missed something in one of our steps." Other members of the Mo family also comforted him.

Seeing Qu Fufeng coming over, the Mo family members became nervous, fearing that Qu Fufeng would blame them.

"Master Qu, this is not my fault." As the elder, Shen Pingzhi was the first to stand up.

Although Shen Sida often quarreled with Mo Che, he did not want him to die because of a failure, so he stood up and pleaded for Mo Che.

"Yes, if you give us a few more days, we will be able to build a complete steam carriage."

Qu Fufeng nodded and consoled him, "It's okay. Failure is the mother of success. The next one will definitely be better."

The Mo family breathed a sigh of relief. That was great. Lord Qu didn't blame them.

Qu Fufeng asked them to continue building the car. Just as he was about to leave, he thought of something, turned back and his eyes fell on Mo Ju.

Last time this guy tried driving a wooden eagle and fell into the sea, this time he tried driving a steam carriage and crashed into a wall.

Is this kid just a bit unlucky?

"Fortunately, the car was not going very fast this time, and Mo Che's injuries were not serious. You must be careful in the future. I will ask the imperial physician to come later, and Mo Che's leg must be well taken care of. So next time you test drive, don't let Mo Che get on, let's have someone else."

"Yes." Shen Pingzhi responded quickly.

Mo Ju was very touched. Lord Qu was so kind to him that he didn't allow him to do dangerous things like test driving for fear that he might get hurt.

…

Lu Yanshi was carrying his daughter to court when he heard her screaming excitedly in her heart.

[Ahhh, the steam carriage is made. I want to go see it! ]

Lu Yanshi was overjoyed.

Great! The Mo family really has something.

[Oh, it's too early to be happy. The car is gone. ]

Lu Yanshi: ???

What’s going on? Wasn’t it built? Why is it gone now?

Lu Yanshi was so anxious to know what had happened that he was absent-minded during court attendance.

After waiting for a long time, Qu Fufeng finally came to report and told the whole story.

Lu Yanshi: ...

Fortunately, the problem was discovered in advance, otherwise if something happened to him while he was in the car, it would have been a big trouble.

"Your Majesty, this thing is too dangerous. It's better not to research it. It's a waste of money." After listening to Qu Fufeng's report, a minister hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him.

“That’s right.”

People have long been resentful of Qu Fufeng for occupying the Ministry of Works and ordering people to research all kinds of messy things all day long.

So as soon as they heard that something went wrong, they immediately stood up and opposed continuing.

"People may choke to death if they drink water, or fall to death if they walk. Are you just not going to drink water or walk?" Qu Fufeng rolled his eyes.

This group of people is hindering Daxia's progress!

Those people were choked by him and had nothing to say. They could only yell, "Master Xiaoqu, you are making excuses."

"I'm making excuses? Then you're just mad with impotence."

Qu Fufeng debated with a group of scholars.

He doesn't dare to confront the emperor, but does he dare not confront these ministers?

Anyway, he has the emperor's support, so he is not afraid!

When it comes to these perverse theories, no ten great scholars can be a match for Qu Fufeng.

In the end, they had no choice but to ask Lu Yanshi for help.

"Your Majesty, what do you think? We should not continue with such a dangerous thing."
