Chapter 475: Entering the Palace for a Demonstration
"No, I have to enter the palace right now. Let's talk about this matter to the emperor first. Princess Shangde said.
Zhao Ruxi's textile machine can spin yarn without manpower, and hundreds of shuttles rotate, which is the same as the existing spinning machine in Dajin. The eldest princess of Shangde intuitively felt that this thing was extraordinary and would definitely have a profound impact on the Great Jin.
At this time, if you don't go to the emperor to help Zhao Ruxi brush up your favor, when will you wait
At that time, she doesn't need to say anything in front of the emperor, the emperor has to find a way to get justice for Zhao Ruxi, and he will reward her.
"Zhiwei, can I pull your machine into the palace," Eldest Princess Shangde asked.
It is definitely inconvenient for the emperor to leave the palace. But she can't see the machine, even if she says it in vain. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't imagine the benefits of this thing just by imagining it.
"Naturally." Zhao Ruxi said, "But we have to disassemble the machine and transport it over, and then assemble it when we get there." ”
It's not just big, it's complicated. It can't be shipped like this.
Now the eldest princess of Shangde made a difficulty.
"Why don't you come with me into the palace?" asked the eldest princess Shangde.
Zhao Ruxi suddenly shook his head like a rattle: "It's inconvenient." I'll let two carpenters enter the palace with you. They built it. ”
Just kidding, she, a woman who was neither an imperial relative nor an official position, ran to see the emperor. If the emperor takes a fancy to her, or if something happens that makes her have to marry the emperor, her life will not be over
The palace is still as far away as you can.
Fortunately, although she has been busy with her own affairs in the past six months, her control over the workshop is not small at all.
The three stewards and the head of the workshop not only had to report to her regularly about the situation of everyone in the workshop, but she also asked Xiao Lingyan to send a secret guard to go to the workshop from time to time to secretly observe and supervise the craftsmen in the workshop.
When she invited craftsmen, she asked Chinese people to screen them, and she sent people to inquire, but she didn't invite them at all because of her bad character. After entering the workshop, she paid a very high salary, coupled with proper management, the craftsmen in the workshop stayed at ease, and there was no trouble or resignation.
When she wanted to start the textile industry, she asked the Dark Guard to select two carpenters for her, and after the textile machine was improved, they would assemble and test it. So these two craftsmen are still very familiar with the machine.
These two people have an innocent family background, their identities and conduct have passed the review of the secret guards, there will be no problem, and she is not worried that these two people will suddenly turn into assassins and assassinate the emperor.
"If you don't feel at ease about letting strangers into the palace to get close to the emperor, you can also ask the Ministry of Industry to send two people, and I will teach them to disassemble, assemble and run this machine, and you can learn it in a few days."
Mrs. Cui could understand Zhao Ruxi's concerns very well, and hurriedly said: "I'm afraid it's inconvenient to enter the palace with a little knowledge." It's better to let the Ministry of Industry send someone. ”
The eldest princess of Shangde was too excited just now and didn't think of this, but at this time she also reacted.
Her emperor brother is not a womanizer. But Zhao Ruxi is beautiful and so talented, and her paintings are appreciated by the emperor. When she entered the palace and was seen by the emperor, maybe her royal brother would not let her out of the palace and left her in the palace directly.
She can't hurt Zhao Ruxi.
The kind of place in the harem is not for people, even if she is a princess, she doesn't want to go back when she comes out, let alone those who are concubines.
What's more, the emperor's age is older than Zhao Ruxi's father.
"You don't have to ask for someone from the Ministry of Works. Let the carpenter of your house follow me into the palace. She said.
This textile machine was developed by Zhao Ruxi. The officials of the Ministry of Industry came, who knows if they will have any crooked intentions in front of her, and they don't dare to take credit, but it is still possible to get a piece of the pie.
At that time, their textile workshop will not only have the emperor's shares, but maybe the Ministry of Industry will also mix it in, and they will share a part of the profits.
Zhao Ruxi is reliable, and there is no problem with the carpenter she recommends. At that time, she can first ask the carpenter to load the loom and let the emperor visit after they go out, so that there will be no accidents.
Zhao Ruxi immediately called the two carpenters and showed them to the eldest princess of Shangde.
The eldest princess of Shangde looked at them a few times, then looked at her guards, and saw that the guards nodded slightly, knowing that these two people were ordinary people and did not know martial arts, so she ordered: "You dismantle this machine, put it in the carriage, and then enter the palace with me." ”
The two carpenters began to pay a visit to the eldest princess, and their hearts were a little nervous. At this time, when I heard that I was going to enter the palace, I was even more panicked, raised my head and called Zhao Ruxi nervously: "Girl"
"Rest assured, it's okay. Just go into the palace and put this machine up, and then teach the eunuch how to spin yarn. After teaching them, you will withdraw without your demonstration in front of the emperor. Zhao Ruxi said.
She said this to remind the eldest princess of Shangde how to act after entering the palace.
If something happens, she will be beheaded, and she has to say more.
"yes, that's it." The eldest princess of Shangde laughed, and looked at Zhao Ruxi's eyes full of appreciation, "Zhiwei, you think the same as me." ”
She gave a few more words to the carpenter, and then led them into the capital.
When she arrived at the gate of the palace, she threw down the loom and the carpenter, and entered the palace by herself.
When the eunuch went to the main hall to report, he also mentioned that the eldest princess used two carriages to pull a big thing to the palace gate.
Xiao Yu was discussing with the minister, and when he heard this, he was curious, so he hurriedly sent the minister away and announced the audience of the eldest princess Shangde.
"I heard that you pulled a big thing to the palace gate," he asked as soon as he saw the eldest princess of Shangde.
The eldest princess of Shangde was saluting, and when she heard this, she couldn't salute anymore, and said with her eyebrows fluttering: "It's a mechanism that can spin automatically without anyone doing it." ”
"What" Xiao Qi thought he had misheard, "You say it again." ”
The eldest princess of Shangde repeated the words proudly.
Xiao Qi looked at the eldest princess of Shangde suspiciously, still feeling incomprehensible.
However, the eldest princess of Shangde has always been reliable, not a playful character.
He turned his head and instructed the housekeeper: "Go, get something in." ”
The eldest princess of Shangde hurriedly said: "Let those two carpenters also enter the palace, find a room and ask them to install the mechanism, and then teach you how to operate it." After you learn it, you will come back and ask the emperor to come and see it. ”
The housekeeper said yes and went out to make arrangements.
Naturally, people and things should be carefully inspected by the guards to make sure that there are no problems, and then they will be allowed to enter the palace. It was not necessary to pull a horse, but to carry it directly into the palace by manpower, and installed it according to the instructions of the eldest princess of Shangde, and after the eunuchs learned it, they came to ask the emperor to move and watch.
