Chapter 1476: Exploring the World

Baifeng is different from the other two; he also worries about Miaoyin, and he also knows just how chaotic and dangerous the world outside is. Although he has not truly entered the wilderness for many years, one must not forget how he came into this world.

The wolf skin that once tried to ambush him at night and nearly killed him is still well-preserved by him. A wolf skin with withered fur that was not processed very well is completely worthless in the Huaxia of today, and the same goes for the entire world; if such a wolf skin were taken out, no one would be willing to trade for it.

Yet it has a different meaning for Baifeng; it is a testament to his difficult survival in the wilderness and the path he once traveled. Therefore, he preserves it carefully and prepares to pass it down as a treasure for his children to inherit in the future. It has no value, he just wants them to remember what kind of life their founding ancestor lived when they see that wolf skin, so they cannot forget their roots.

The story of Baifeng fighting the wolf king alone and killing it, which the wolf skin carries, is known to almost everyone in Huaxia. A man who can kill a wolf king is also a qualified Soldier, and it is enough to embody Baifeng's bravery, so there is nothing shameful about it.

Baifeng also understands in his heart that children with his own genes and bloodline should, at their core, be restless and uneasy, not content with the status quo, and certainly thinking about going on adventures and exploring; it is impossible for them to be restricted to such a small city.

Yulong is restricted by his duties, which prevents him from appreciating the magnificent landscape of the world, but that does not mean he does not want to go. If it were not for the lack of money, how many of the working cattle and horses of later generations would not want to stand at the highest point of Mount Everest to watch the sunrise? If everyone were truly content with the status quo and lacked a spirit of adventure, they would not make Haba Snow Mountain and Yulong Snow Mountain form long queues.

Unlike those who are used to suffering and have had enough of it, they certainly want a stable and safe place to live even more; it would be best if they could live like that until they die, and never need to enter the wilderness at all.

Baifeng patted Miaoyin on the head: "Don't be in a hurry yet. You are still too young, and this world has reached its most turbulent time. Once this world settles down, you can go around and see it. Maybe there will be a chance in the future for us to go see the sea together."

Miaoyin wanted to bargain: "Father, then can I go see the surrounding cities? Those places shouldn't be dangerous, right? From the time I was small until now, I have never left Huaxia City."

"Alright," Baifeng did not refuse this time: "You are free now, I am not restricting you. You can go to Lema City whenever you want. Take your guards with you, but don't disturb Yu too much; his work is probably even busier than Yulong's right now."

Miaoyin was overjoyed, and her eyes became even brighter: "Yay! Father, then besides Lema City, can I go to the other cities!"

"The other cities, not for now. They don't look like cities yet. You can ask your second brother; the Western Development Group is actually a very desolate place, there isn't even much farmland. You can go see Weicheng today, it's just a construction site, there's nothing there yet.

Not to mention Suiren City, there are still many wild people there, and Huaxia's control over that place is not enough. There are many troubles and it's no different from a construction site. Once it is completely built, you can go see it; in another two or three years, you will be able to go.

If Lema City isn't enough, go see the surrounding towns, though there isn't anything special there either."

"No, no," Miaoyin shook her head repeatedly: "Second brother didn't tell me that. He told me that the Western Development Group is a grassland that stretches as far as the eye can see, with winding little rivers, snow-capped mountains in the distance, and cattle and sheep everywhere. When the wind blows, the clouds in the sky follow along, and on the ground, there are patches of cloud shadows; it's so beautiful."

The people from the Ministry of Works hurriedly helped Baifeng speak: "Princess, there really is nothing to see there. It's very dangerous, and they are still fighting wars right now, it's not fun at all. If you want to see grasslands and cattle and sheep, our Huaxia City Pasture has them too, it's the same."

Miaoyin ignored him and just stared at Baifeng with wide eyes. Baifeng held out for a few seconds before giving in: "Fine, fine. You can go to Lema City now. As for the Western Development Group, wait until they finish fighting. They will come back in Winter, and then we'll see what the situation is like over there. If the situation is good and stable, you can follow the army over and play there for a while.

And the Xuanyuan Tribe, you can go there too. If I go to the Xuanyuan Tribe to discuss cooperation next year, you can come with me, or I will find an opportunity to send someone to protect you. Are you satisfied now?"

"Thank you, Father! Father, you are the best!" Miaoyin smiled and hugged Baifeng, but the Zhinu and the people from the Ministry of Works were a bit shocked. How could a noble person like the Princess be allowed to go to such dangerous places! Princes need to build achievements, and those places need the wisdom of a Prince to solve troubles; there is absolutely no need for a Princess to put herself in danger.

Miaoyin is now in her rebellious phase. The so-called rebellious phase is actually when a child's self-awareness has reached a certain level, and they want to show themselves and want the world to affirm their existence. It is not just simple temper tantrums or resisting authority. If guided well, these forces can be transferred to appropriate places, allowing them to carve out a career.

Miaoyin's career is just here for now. The development of the textile industry still has no end in sight. Miaoyin has more goals to pursue throughout her life, so it is only right to let her understand this world. With sufficient protection, letting her go out and see is still acceptable.

After the father-daughter bonding, Baifeng took the opportunity to inspect the Fangzhi Chang and look at the current progress and development of the factory.

In addition to the constantly expanding area and output, the quality is also constantly improving. Because there is relatively professional ideological guidance and incentive mechanisms, every Zhinu is desperately improving her skills and thinking about innovating technology, so there are still some new things for Baifeng to see.

Textile machines are also being built. The Ministry of Works has a special team responsible for the production and innovation of machines for the Fangzhi Chang. The current textile machines are still too slow, and Miaoyin and the others are not only preparing to use Embroidery to create three-dimensional patterns on the fabric, but are also thinking about using technological innovation to create flat patterns while the fabric is being woven.

This does not require a significant difference in color; the same color can also be used to create patterns visible to the naked eye.
