Lonely King and Widow

Chapter 1072
"Is Qiao Gong in there?" Mo Jiu asked softly.

"Back to Juzi, yes. It's in his office."

"Well."

Usually, when Mo Jiu saw his disciples, he would smile and make fun of them.

Today, with a dignified expression, she nodded, indicating that they don't need to be polite, and then went straight in through the entrance of Qianlian Cave, and went to Qiao Zhanping's "Dean's Office".

That's right, there are really big words "Dean's Office" hanging there.

It is said that this strange plaque was written by Lord Jiu himself.

Qiao Zhanping's identity has always been embarrassing in the Mo family.He has secrets about him. He used to be the elder of the Mo family, and he has done things that are not good for the Mo family. Everyone is always wary of him, but although he never utters a word, Mo Jiu trusts him very much. Not only did he design such a nondescript title for him, but he also handed over the financial power of the Mo family to Shang Ya.

The status of the couple in Mohism is second only to Mo Wang.

Knowing people and making good use of them has always been Mo Jiu's forte, not to mention, she never doubted her own vision.

Shang Ya has harmed her, and so has Qiao Zhanping.

But they all have affection for the Mo family. When they do things for the Mo family and Mo Jiu wholeheartedly, they can indeed show their remaining enthusiasm, and they are really capable people.

According to Mo Jiu, Shang Ya, the right-hand deacon, has brought her ability of "caressing about every detail and small belly" to the extreme since she did not fight for power and changed to controlling finances. Come, you will definitely not suffer.

Under her strict control, the Mo family became richer and their business grew bigger and bigger, and Qiao Zhanping's research on firearms and Mohist institutions reached the Mohist art industry after Mo Jiu recruited Mo artisans for him and even participated in it himself. The pinnacle of the Mo family has already surpassed the predecessors of the Mo family...

In this way, Qiao Zhanping was also successfully transformed by Mo Jiu from a conspirator into a scientist at peace with the world, and from the original "chief engineer" to the director of the Mohist Research Institute.

Mo Jiu's ability to know people has been confirmed once again.

Qiao Zhanping likes to do this.

As long as Shangya doesn't look for him, he can stay out of the cave for a month, just lie down in his office and draw blueprints, and use the newly learned Arabic numerals to calculate——

Yes, everyone on Xinglong Mountain now has to learn Arabic numerals.

This thing, in the eyes of people nowadays, is very rare, but it is also extremely simple to learn, at least, it will not be more difficult than three-year-old children in later generations.

But in just a few months, even illiterate people in Xinglong Mountain can do simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Of course, these things that Mo Jiu did at will for convenience, she never thought that they would have such a profound impact——

When Mo Jiu entered, Qiao Zhanping was the only one.

Holding a pen in hand, frowning slightly, Qiao Zhanping was so focused that he didn't seem to hear her footsteps at all.

Mo Jiu coughed lightly, "Qiao Gong, are you still busy?"

Qiao Zhanping looked up, saw it was Mo Jiu, and said hello respectfully.

"Juzi is here, please sit down!"

Over the past year or so in Xinglong Mountain, Qiao Zhanping has undergone many changes.The man grows thicker, stronger, and more energetic.Although his complexion was still as white as ever, it was no longer as yin-yang as before.

Time changes people.

But some things can't be changed.

Now even Shang Ya would occasionally call Mo Jiu affectionately "Little Jiu", while Qiao Zhanping called her "Big Son" year round.Not too close, not too alienated, but will definitely do their job well.

Mo Jiu likes people like this.

At least an excellent partner.

She glanced at him appreciatively, nodded in return, and glanced at the intricate drawings on the table with a smile.

"Qiao Gong, have you made a new breakthrough?"

She was used to this address, and so was Qiao Zhanping.

Nodding his head, there was a rare gleam between his calm brows, "Zhan Ping lived up to his trust."

"Good! Well done!"

Mo Jiu slapped the table heavily and sat down in satisfaction.

Staring at Qiao Zhanping's obviously shocked face, she was silent for a moment, raised her chin abruptly, and changed the topic.

"Qiao Gong, it's time to open the tomb."

The location of the earthquake tomb is just below Qianlian Cave, or in other words, below the main peak of Xinglong Mountain.

A full year has passed since the discovery of the tomb.Living here for so long, Mo Jiu has never touched it. The reason is very simple. Every time the Bagua Tomb is opened, the earth shakes and the mountains shake, even causing changes in the mountains and the earth's crust.

Xinglong Mountain is not only the foundation of the Mo family, but also related to the livelihood of so many people. Qiao Zhanping thought that as long as the Mo family still resides here, Mo Jiu will not touch it easily.

Now, what prompted her to suddenly change her mind and take the risk of opening the tomb?
