I traveled back to the Qin Dynasty, and the First Emperor begged me to become his empress.

Chapter 160 Abacus

Ying Wuyou nodded slightly and replied with a smile, "Of course. General Wang, the reason I came here is to present you with the army training plan and let you see if it is feasible. As for other aspects, I am indeed limited in my abilities and cannot provide more substantial assistance."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jian smiled with satisfaction and said loudly, "It is truly a blessing for our Great Qin that the princess is so thoughtful! If this training method can really help our Great Qin soldiers to further improve their combat strength, I will definitely ask Your Majesty to reward the princess."

Ying Wuyou quickly waved her hand and chuckled, replying humbly, "General Wang, you are too kind! As a princess of Qin, it is my duty to contribute to Qin and its people. This is simply my responsibility; how could I dare to hope for any credit?"

However, Wang Jian's expression turned serious, and he solemnly said, "Our Great Qin has always ruled by law, rewarding those who have made contributions and punishing those who have made mistakes. We absolutely cannot ignore your merits and fail to reward you just because of your noble status, Princess. Otherwise, it will surely cause people to question the fairness of our Great Qin's laws."

Ying Wuyou looked guilty and sincerely apologized, "Yes, General Wang is absolutely right. I didn't think things through. I hope you won't blame me."

Wang Jian waved his hand dismissively, saying, "It's alright, it's alright. The princess can simply keep it in mind in the future."

Ying Wuyou nodded repeatedly and replied, "Of course, of course, I will keep General Wang's teachings in mind."

Afterwards, Ying Wuyou and Wang Jian chatted for a while before Ying Wuyou took his leave. Wang Jian wanted to invite Ying Wuyou to stay for dinner, but Ying Wuyou declined, saying he had other things to do.

After bidding farewell to General Wang Jian, Ying Wuyou gracefully stepped into the carriage and slowly made her way towards Mo Li's residence. The exquisitely decorated carriage swayed and rattled on the stone road, its wheels creaking and groaning.

Before long, the carriage finally arrived at the gate of Mo Li's residence. Ying Wuyou gracefully alighted from the carriage, then gestured to the servant beside her to knock on the door. A moment later, the door opened, and Mo Li greeted her with a broad smile. When he saw Ying Wuyou standing before him, a look of surprise and delight appeared on his face, and he quickly bowed, saying, "I don't know what brings Your Highness to my humble abode today? I am truly flattered!"

Ying Wuyou smiled slightly and said softly, "I have come here today to discuss something." Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Mo Li's eyes, and he thought to himself: The princess must have some new and interesting things that she needs me to make.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel excited about what was to come, and hurriedly said, "Princess, please come in!"

Ying Wuyou didn't stand on ceremony. With graceful steps, she led two guards into Mo Li's residence. Passing through the artificial hills, streams, pavilions, and towers in the courtyard, the group arrived at the reception hall. As soon as they sat down, Mo Li couldn't contain his curiosity and eagerly asked, "What brings the princess to my court?"

Seeing Mo Li's impatient look, Ying Wuyou couldn't help but laugh, then said slowly, "Mr. Mo Li, I wonder if you have had any free time lately?"

Mo Li nodded hastily and replied, "Your Highness, I have been quite free lately. If Your Highness has any orders, I will do my utmost!"

Ying Wuyou stated his purpose directly: "I would like to trouble Mr. Mo to make an abacus for me."

Upon hearing this, Mo Li looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Forgive my ignorance, but I don't know what this abacus is." As he spoke, his eyes were full of inquiry.

Ying Wuyou smiled slightly, calmly took out a piece of paper from her bag, and gently handed it to Mo Li, saying slowly, "This is the design of the abacus I conceived. It is specifically for calculation."

Mo Li hurriedly took the paper and examined the drawing on it closely. After a moment, he looked up and said to Ying Wuyou, "Princess, in my opinion, the design of this abacus is quite simple and clear. If all goes well, it should be completed this afternoon."

Ying Wuyou nodded slightly in agreement, but then added, "Although the overall structure of this abacus seems simple, the beads used on it must be carefully polished to a perfect smoothness. I imagine that this task alone must have taken a lot of time and effort."

Mo Li nodded in agreement and replied, "What the princess says is absolutely right. Indeed, but I will do my utmost to ensure that a finished product is completed by this afternoon."

Ying Wuyou pondered for a moment, then spoke again: "In that case, I'll trouble you, Mr. Mo. I'll send someone to collect it this afternoon."

Mo Li quickly cupped his hands and replied, "Alright. Princess, please rest assured, I will certainly live up to your expectations."

Ying Wuyou's lips curled into a satisfied smile as she said, "Mr. Mo is always reliable and dependable, and I trust him completely. Now that everything is settled, I'll take my leave. I'll send someone to bother you again this afternoon." With that, she turned to leave.

Upon seeing this, Mo Li hurriedly bowed and respectfully said, "Your humble servant respectfully sees the princess off."

Ying Wuyou said with a smile, "No need to see me off. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. Mr. Mo Li, you should hurry up and start making the abacus."

Mo Li respectfully performed a standard bow to Ying Wuyou, and then replied, "Alright, Your Highness, please take your time."

Ying Wuyou nodded slightly to indicate that she understood, and then turned around with her bodyguards and left Mo Li's residence with light steps.

After boarding the carriage, Ying Wuyou instructed the driver to head towards the First Pavilion of the Great Qin Dynasty. Soon, the carriage came to a smooth stop in front of the pavilion. Ying Wuyou calmly alighted and went straight up to the third floor. There was a room there that belonged only to her, elegantly and comfortably furnished.

After entering the house, Ying Wuyou rested for a while, then instructed the guard beside him, "Quickly send someone to the manor to fetch Zhao Ran for me." The guard dared not delay and hurriedly went to carry out the order.

Ying Wuyou had been busy all day, and now she felt not only physically exhausted, but her stomach was also rumbling. Fortunately, the manager, Li Ran, was observant and attentive. Seeing this, he quickly brought her a delicious meal. Ying Wuyou looked up at Li Ran and asked, "The end of the year is approaching, you'd better hurry up and finish the restaurant's year-end summary."

Li Ran quickly replied, "Miss, please rest assured, I have already begun to organize the relevant matters."

Ying Wuyou nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Hmm, not bad. Also, you need to record and organize the employees' work performance in detail throughout the year, and submit it to me along with the year-end summary in a while."

Li Ran replied repeatedly, "Yes, I will do as you say, please rest assured, Miss."

Ying Wuyou said, "Yes, it's alright, you can go now."

Li Ran said, "I'll take my leave." He then left the room and closed the door behind him.
