Chapter 501 - 337 Catering to His Interests_3
This device, he could make it himself, but it would be time-consuming and laborious.
Although he asked the Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Industry for help, the one who owed a favor was the Chief of Staff.
Shortly after the first drop of high-concentration alcohol merged with a droplet under the microscope, the waves of cultivation within Li Nuo's body surged again.
Doctor Sun and many Medical School members present stared fixedly at him.
Twenty years old, Medical School Fourth Realm.
For these old fellows, who had struggled to climb to the fourth realm despite their age, it was a huge blow.
Though it was a blow, everyone felt convinced inwardly.
Although he's currently only in the Fourth Realm, if a Sixth Realm practitioner were to appear in the Medical School in the future, it would likely be him.
The next day, when Li Nuo went to the Ministry of Industry again, he no longer needed the company of the Sixth Princess.
The officials of the Ministry of Industry went in to report, and Li Nuo waited in the yard for a while before the Chief of Staff came out with large strides, warmly saying: "Brother, come in quickly..."
Li Nuo walked into his government office, and the Chief of Staff began to introduce some of the small mechanisms he had crafted himself.
Mohist disciples seemed to enjoy showing off their creations.
Among his collections, Li Nuo also saw several mechanized maidens.
These mechanized maidens were lifelike from three steps away, indistinguishable from real people.
However, Li Nuo had already seen such things at Li Yun's place.
Besides, although Li Yun's cultivation was not as high as the Chief of Staff of Zhao Country,
the mechanized maiden beside him seemed more lively than these ones.
After some appreciation, Li Nuo stated his purpose: "To be frank, I've come again to ask the lords of the Ministry of Industry for another favor..."
The Chief of Staff was secretly delighted upon hearing this.
Others asking him for help, he might not agree to it.
But he wished Li Nuo would seek his help every day.
Helping him twice yesterday led to a significant increase in his cultivation, almost reaching the bottleneck of the Fourth Realm.
If he helped him a few more times, wouldn't he have the hope of breaking through to the Fifth Realm?
By then, his mechanical techniques would undoubtedly become more refined, and the mechanized maidens he created would be even more lifelike...
Eagerly, he asked: "What do you need?"
Yesterday, Li Nuo discovered that the Mohists were incredibly fast and precise in grinding glass.
Since the microscope was created, eyeglasses for near-sightedness and farsightedness as well as telescopes could also be entrusted to them.
These items were not yet available in any country on the continent, and they could be presented to the court officials in the name of the Sixth Princess. The Ministry of Industry officials could increase their cultivation, and the Sixth Princess would earn goodwill. Even if the officials did not plan to vote for her now, they would remember her favor.
In this world, there were no optometry methods, so different lenses could be ground, and then officials with vision problems could come to the Princess Mansion to try them. When the Sixth Princess made an appearance, it would enhance their impression further...
The Mohists, who had been associated with glasswork their whole lives, were discovering the various uses of this ordinary glass for the first time.
In just a few days, their cultivation levels had risen repeatedly.
Li Nuo asking for help a couple more times might just push him into the Fifth Realm.
It had been two days since he last saw Li Nuo, and now he eagerly awaited Li Nuo coming to the Ministry of Industry for help every day...
Over the past two days, there had been some new occurrences in the court as well.
Many elderly officials suffered from presbyopia, making it hard to read documents up close.
This ailment was common among the elderly and couldn't be treated even by the Imperial Physicians.
Some younger officials, due to excessive studying for the Imperial Examination, also damaged their vision, making it difficult to see distant objects.
For these two conditions, the Sixth Princess found a treatment method.
Over the past two days, any official with vision problems could go to the Princess Mansion and receive a free device called "glasses."
These glasses, made from two pieces of glass, had an immediate effect when worn, allowing the wearer to see both near and far objects clearly, greatly facilitating their work in reviewing documents and reports, and were deeply loved by some elder officials.
Thus, the long-standing issue troubling elderly officials was resolved by the Sixth Princess.
The Sixth Princess, who already had a good reputation in the court, gained even more favor from the courtiers due to this incident.
While other princes banded together for political power struggles, harming each other without any royal dignity, only the Sixth Princess dedicated herself to the welfare of the people and the court...
To sow discord between the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Princess, three princes unscrupulously manipulated public opinion, claiming that the Sixth Princess's moral character and capabilities far surpassed the Fourth Prince's, attempting to drive a wedge between the siblings.
Although their motives were impure, there was no denying the truth in their words.
The Sixth Princess's character and abilities not only surpassed the Fourth Prince but also outshone the other princes.
If the Emperor allowed the Sixth Princess to vie for the throne, what chance would the four princes have?
Ministry of Industry.
The officials from the Ministry of Industry had been very busy these days, but they worked willingly.
These new items made of glass were their own handiwork.
The other courtiers reaped the convenience, while they reaped the cultivation. Every new mechanism the Mohists crafted increased their cultivation. Since these items had never appeared in the continent before, the first to create them benefited the most.
However, the one who benefitted the most was definitely the Chief of Staff.
It was said that his cultivation had reached the bottleneck, just a step away from the Fifth Realm.
Within the government office, the Chief of Staff finally awaited the person he was expecting.
As soon as Li Nuo entered the government office, he eagerly stood up, walked out from behind his desk, and put his arm around Li Nuo's shoulder, saying: "Brother Li, what help do you need from me today?"
Embarrassed, Li Nuo replied: "I feel bad always asking Brother Zhou for help..."
The Chief of Staff patted his shoulder vigorously and laughed: "Oh, why be so polite with me? Brother Zhou will definitely help you!"
Li Nuo's requests were closely tied to his breakthrough, so he certainly wouldn't refuse.
Li Nuo thought for a moment and said: "Then I'd like to say it..."
The Chief of Staff eagerly said: "Go ahead."
Li Nuo whispered: "In the election, could Brother Zhou vote for the Sixth Princess?"
The Chief of Staff was slightly stunned: "Ah?"
What do you think?
