The two of them also looked tired. It was obvious that the recent official affairs had made them work hard. After seeing Bai Su, they greeted Bai Su politely.

As for Liu Ji, he blinked his big peach eyes and blew a kiss to Bai Su.

After seeing Baek Su roll her eyes, the smile on her face grew wider.

Bai Su handed over a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and asked Mo Xun, "How is the progress of the Ink Ware Supervisor?"

This is a special department specially set up by Bai Su for the Mohists, and the Mohists recruit a group of skilled craftsmen to research and develop some things for him that are based on people's livelihood.

For example, improving farm tools, building waterwheels to irrigate fertile fields, weaving, bows and crossbows, and so on.

Mo Xun also gradually understood Bai Su's character, knowing that he is a private person who doesn't care much about etiquette, and is easy to get along with as long as the assigned work is done well.

Therefore, he was not surprised at the bowls and chopsticks that Bai Su handed over.

She gently placed the bowls and chopsticks on the table, stretched out her slender jade hands, lifted the black hair scattered between her eyebrows, revealing a slightly sickly pretty face.

Although the look was very tired, those eyes were full of excitement: "The textile machine invented by your lord is simply too exquisite. I found that this thing has a lot of commonality in the textile industry."

"After improvement on this basis, not only can it be used to weave wool and cow hair, but it can also increase the efficiency of weaving mulberry and silk by more than ten times."

"After many rounds of experiments, it has stabilized and can be promoted to the public. Once it is popularized in the world, it will definitely bring about earth-shaking changes in the entire Central Plains..."

Seeing her excited look, Bai Su couldn't help but feel a little funny, but after thinking about it carefully, he found it was normal.

After all, for the common people, food, cloth, and firewood are all hard currencies, and they can be used as currency in many places.

People in some poor places would even take a few rolls of cloth to the city to exchange for food.

Having a textile machine that can increase its efficiency tenfold is like having a money printing machine, and anyone would be excited about it.

Bai Su poured himself a glass of wine and said with a smile: "If we want to make the textile industry more prosperous, there is still one key thing missing."

"The key thing?"

Liu Ji picked up a piece of hot-boiled meat and put it in his mouth. Hearing what Bai Su said, he couldn't help turning his head to look curiously.

Mo Xun couldn't help but wondered: "I don't know what the lord is talking about?"

Bai Su took a sip of his wine and said, "This thing is called cotton."

"What is that?"

Both girls tilted their heads, and couldn't help being stunned by this name they had never heard of before.

Bai Su explained: "To put it simply, you can imagine that the wool grown from the ground can be treated like wool after being processed by the loom, warm and light, but the price is as cheap as mulberry."

"The wool that grows from the ground, there is such a strange thing in the world!"

Mo Xun's almond eyes widened involuntarily, and immediately looked at Bai Su excitedly: "If you get this thing, wouldn't you be rich? I don't know where this thing is?"

Bai Su stroked his chin and said, "This thing is in a place called Tianzhu, no... should it be called the Maurya Dynasty now?"

"The Maurya Dynasty, what is this place, why have I never heard of it."

Mo Xun's slender black eyebrows were furrowed. After thinking for a long time, there was no impression in his mind.

Obviously, she knows all the major tribes in the grassland, the countries of the Western Regions, and Baiyue, and the Nanman in the land of Bashu, but she has never heard of this name.

Bai Su smiled and said: "That's because the Maurya Dynasty is not in the Central Plains, but in a distant foreign country."

Liu Ji asked curiously, "Is it farther than the Western Regions?"

Bai Su nodded: "It's farther than the Western Regions. If you go all the way through the end of the Western Regions, you will come across a land of ten thousand Buddhas, that is the Maurya Dynasty. Many spices were spread to the Western Regions from here. That thing called cotton comes from there."

"The country of ten thousand Buddhas, what is a Buddha?"

Liu Ji was very curious about this unfamiliar vocabulary.

Bai Su stroked his chin, and said thoughtfully, "Buddha... well, they are just a group of guys who shaved their heads, didn't work, didn't farm, didn't serve as soldiers, sat in front of the stone statues every day, ate and drank, and asked for incense money."

"Tch, it turned out to be a group of standing beggars."

When Liu Ji heard this, he immediately lost interest and curled his lips in disdain.

"Almost." Bai Su didn't explain too much.

Mo Xun was particularly interested. She raised her head and looked straight at Bai Su with almond eyes: "Does your lord know the route to the Maurya Dynasty?"

Bai Su swallowed the meatball in his mouth, and asked curiously, "What, do you want to go?"

"Of course, although I have no interest in this Buddha, but this cotton and spices are indeed good things. If my Mo family can bring the treasure back to Xianyang, it must be a great achievement in front of Your Majesty."

"At that time, my Mo family will also be famous in the private school. As long as someone wears cotton clothes, they will think of my Mo family. This is simply a great opportunity for the revitalization of the Mo family."

As Mo Xun said, his sickly and pale cheeks turned rosy from excitement.

However, it is normal to think about it.

The Mohists disappeared and lived in seclusion in the mountains. The influential ones in the Great Xia court were the Legalists represented by Prime Minister Li Si, and the Confucianism represented by the queen Fusu.

There are also military strategists headed by Wang Jian and so on.

In comparison, the influence of their Mo family is really not enough.

There are only a handful of disciples that the private school puts into their Mohist sect every year.

In order to gain a foothold here, one must make a meritorious achievement.

Bai Su put down his chopsticks, and said: "I know, but it's not easy to get there. It will take at least one or two years to go back and forth. If you get lost, it's even harder to say." gone."

"What's more, there are many countries along the way, all kinds of bandits, and countless beasts. If you don't pay attention, you may die without a place to die."

Mo Xun said firmly: "It's okay, my Mo family has been wandering among the people since ancient times, measuring the world with our feet, and this mere hardship is nothing."

Bai Su smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll help you once. I'll draw the cotton and spices for you. Find some disciples who are good at surveying and mapping, and let them follow the Western Regions all the way to the Maurya Dynasty."

"While going to fetch cotton seeds, by the way, draw down the landforms, customs and customs, and map routes along the way, and present them to His Majesty when the time comes, and your Mohism will be famous all over the world, and your name will be left in history."

Mo Xun nodded: "It's nothing, it's just... why do you want a map?"

Bai Su coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "Of course it's for business. It's more convenient to transport goods and do business by inquiring about the distribution of their waters, the roads they pass through, and the location of their capital. I pay attention to convincing people with reason, so I have no bad intentions."

Mo Xun looked at Bai Su strangely: "But why do I feel that your lord seems to have other ideas?"

"Have it?"

Bai Su smiled, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a little foot wearing a sock on his leg, which was constantly teasing him.

The familiar size and provocative strength, whoever it is, is not Liu Ji.

Bai Su raised his head to look, but saw Liu Ji's face remained calm, drinking wine leisurely, and when Bai Su looked over, he pretended to be puzzled.

But under the table, her little feet gently hooked up Bai Su's robe, and gently slid on Bai Su's legs.

Bai Su couldn't help but lamented Liu Ji's courage, he dared to tease him in front of Mo Xun, but he couldn't help feeling an unspeakable excitement in his heart.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing that Bai Su remained silent for a long time, Mo Xun couldn't help being taken aback.

Bai Su shook his head slightly: "No...it's nothing, I just didn't expect you Mohist disciples to have such backbone."

He was calm on the surface, but there was a storm in his heart.

Because Liu Ji's movements became more and more excessive, her little feet kept climbing, and finally moved forward along the inner side of her thighs, but she was caught by Bai Su's legs.

This Liu Ji, is his body so flexible? He obviously made difficult movements under the table, and his legs stretched so long.

But the movement can still maintain the balance of the body, holding the drink, there is no slight difference at all, this skill is really good enough.

Fortunately, the tablecloth was low enough, and Mo Xun didn't notice what was going on under the table.

Seeing Liu Ji's provocative appearance, Bai Su's eyelids couldn't help shaking, this clay figurine is still angry, how can he bear this kind of provocation.

With a calm face, he picked up the wine cup to pour the wine, but he stretched out the bottom to fight back.

As soon as Bai Su kicked back to fight back, Liu Ji immediately retracted his leg, with a smug look on his face.

As the saying goes, when the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy is tired, we harass.

After being molested for a long time, Bai Su naturally wanted to fight back. He stretched out his leg directly to where Liu Ji was sitting, and as expected, he touched a calf.

Bai Su didn't take off his boots, but slowly slid on the slender legs with the toe of the shoes.

The jade leg trembled suddenly, and immediately froze, without the slightest resistance or counterattack.

Seeing this, Bai Su intensified and turned around gently.

He raised his head playfully and looked at Liu Ji on the opposite side, but saw that her face did not change at all. Sure enough, women are born actors.

Not long after, Bai Su was not satisfied with this, and slowly turned his toes up, lifting up the hem of his skirt, but suddenly he felt something was wrong.

Liu Ji stood up and stretched, and said, "This drink is too low in strength, it's not fun, I'll go get some spirits."

After finishing speaking, she pushed away the chair, stood up, and walked towards the door.

Bai Su looked at Liu Ji who was going away, and couldn't help being stunned.

Hey, whose leg is he provoking now?

He raised his head, but saw Mo Xun beside him biting his red lips, looking at him complicatedly with almond eyes.

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

Chapter 240 Yuezhi's Envoy Arrives

"Fuck, I made... a mistake."

Facing Mo Xun's slightly complicated eyes, Bai Su immediately reacted and quickly retracted his legs.

He was taken aback, and couldn't help but panic, but Mo Xun didn't react at all. He just lowered his head, hugged the wine cup, and remained silent for a long time.

The atmosphere in the room was awkward.

At this time, Liu Ji walked in with a wine jar in his arms, with a smile on his fair cheeks: "Sure enough, you still have to drink this when drinking, and those have no taste at all. Hey, son, what's wrong with you? Why? looking at me like that?"

If it weren't for the evil you did before, would I be so embarrassed?

Bai Su glanced at Mo Xun, who had his head down, coughed lightly, "It's just that I accidentally drank too much."

Liu Ji's peachy eyes sized up the two of them with great interest: "Why did the Juzi suddenly become quiet? Could it be... what did the Young Master do to the Juzi while I was away?"

Before Bai Su could speak, Mo Xun looked up as if being electrocuted, and hurriedly said, "No...no, I just drank some wine, nothing happened."

Liu Ji smiled and said: "I was just joking, what is Juzi so nervous about?"

Mo Xun bit his vermilion lips, but did not speak.

Bai Su glared at Liu Ji: "You're talking nonsense, I don't care about helping you pay back the money."

"Don't, don't, I won't say anything..."

Liu Ji hurriedly covered his mouth, pretending to be obedient.

Seeing that the matter had been concealed, Bai Su heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time, looked a little strangely at Mo Xun.

What does she mean by taking the initiative to conceal for herself? Is it because she is worried about her reputation being damaged?

Or does she have other ideas?

As if sensing Bai Su's gaze, Mo Xun slowly raised her head, and the two looked at each other for a moment, then she blushed and hurriedly dodged away.

Bai Su was a little confused by this weird look for a moment.

Sure enough, girls are as deep as the sea.

After these few days.

Shao Fuzhong.

"what is this?"

Liu Ji looked at the things Bai Su handed over, and couldn't help being stunned. Looking down, he found that there were deserts and sand dunes drawn on it, which seemed to be a simple marching map.

Bai Su put down the ink pen in his hand, and said, "This is the route to the Maurya Dynasty through the Corridor of the Western Regions. I can only draw a rough marching route."

"Specifically, the current local customs and landforms, the mountain roads, and the conditions of the canals, I have no choice but to rely on them to try it themselves. You can pass this map to Juzi."

Liu Ji asked curiously, "Why didn't you give it to her personally, such an important thing?"

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Bai Su's face, and he coughed lightly, "I'm still involved in government affairs, and I need to prepare for the military parade, so I can't get away for a while."

Liu Ji's expression suddenly turned strange. It was obviously just an excuse to be involved in government affairs.

She glanced at the table beside the various poems that had been written.
