Chapter 475: Entering the Palace Demonstration
"No, I have to enter the palace immediately. I will talk to the emperor about this matter first," Princess Shangde said.
Zhao Ruxi's textile machine can spin yarn without manpower. Hundreds of shuttles rotate, which is completely different from the existing spinning machines in Jin Dynasty. Princess Shang De intuitively felt that this thing was extraordinary and would definitely be of great help to Da Jin Dynasty.
Jin had a profound impact.
If you don't help Zhao Ruxi in front of the emperor at this time, when will you wait?
When the time comes, she won't have to say anything in front of the emperor. The emperor will find a way to seek justice for Zhao Ruxi and give her a reward.
"Zhiwei, can I take your machine into the palace?" Princess Shangde asked.
It was definitely inconvenient for the emperor to leave the palace. But since she couldn't see the machine, it would be in vain for her to talk about it. Without seeing it with her own eyes, she couldn't imagine the benefits of this thing just by relying on her imagination.
"Of course you can." Zhao Ruxi said, "But you have to dismantle the machine and transport it there, and then assemble it again when you get there."
This machine is not only big, but also quite complicated. It cannot be operated like this.
Now Princess Shangde was in trouble.
"How about you come with me to the palace?" Princess Shangde asked.
Zhao Ruxi suddenly shook her head like a rattle: "This is inconvenient. I'll ask two carpenters to follow you into the palace. They built this machine."
Just kidding, she, a woman who is neither a relative of the emperor nor an official, ran to see the emperor. If the emperor fell in love with her, or if something unexpected happened and she had to marry the emperor, wouldn't her life be doomed?
The palace should be as far away as possible.
Fortunately, although she has been busy with her own affairs in the past six months, her control over the workshop has not been small at all.
The three stewards and the head of the workshop not only had to report to her regularly about everyone in the workshop, but she also asked Xiao Lingyan to send a secret guard to visit the workshop from time to time and secretly observe and supervise the craftsmen in the workshop.
When she hired the craftsmen, she asked someone to screen them. She sent someone to inquire and found out that they were not of good character and did not hire them at all. After entering the workshop, she paid a high salary, and with proper management, the workshop was full of people.
All the craftsmen stayed at ease, and there was no trouble or resignation.
When she wanted to start a textile industry, she asked the secret guards to select two carpenters for her. After the textile machine was improved, she asked them to assemble and test it. Therefore, these two craftsmen were still very familiar with the machine.
These two people had innocent family backgrounds, and their identity and character had passed the review of the secret guards. There would be no problems. She was not worried that these two people would suddenly transform into assassins and assassinate the emperor.
"If you are worried about letting strangers enter the palace and get close to the emperor, you can also ask the Ministry of Industry to send two people. I will teach them to disassemble, assemble and operate this machine. They can learn it in a few days."
Mrs. Cui could understand Zhao Ruxi's concerns very well, and quickly said: "I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for Zhiwei to enter the palace. Why don't we ask the Ministry of Industry to send someone."
Princess Shang De was too excited just now to think of this, but she also realized it at this time.
Although her brother, the emperor, was not a lecherous person, Zhao Ruxi was beautiful and talented, and her paintings were highly praised by the emperor. She entered the palace and was seen by the emperor, so maybe her brother would not let him out of the palace.
, and left her directly in the palace.
She couldn't harm Zhao Ruxi.
A place like the harem is not for people to stay. Even if she is a princess, she will not want to go back when she comes out, let alone those who are concubines.
What's more, the emperor is older than Zhao Ruxi's father.
"There's no need to invite people from the Ministry of Works. Just let your carpenter come into the palace with me," she said.
This textile machine was developed by Zhao Ruxi. Officials from the Ministry of Industry are here, who knows if they have any evil intentions? They dare not take the credit in front of her, but it is still possible to get a share of the pie.
When the time comes, not only will the emperor take a stake in their textile workshop, but the Ministry of Industry may also have a hand in it and share some of the profits.
Zhao Ruxi is a reliable person, so there is nothing wrong with the carpenter she recommended. When the time comes, she can let the carpenter install the loom first, let them go out, and then let the emperor visit without seeing each other, so that there will be no accidents.
Zhao Ruxi immediately called two carpenters to show Princess Shang De.
Princess Shangde looked at them for a few times, and then at her guards. Seeing the guards nodding slightly, she knew that these two people were ordinary people and did not know martial arts, so she ordered: "You guys dismantle this machine and put it in
Get into the carriage, and then go into the palace with me."
The two carpenters began to pay homage to the eldest princess, and felt a little nervous. Now that they heard that they were going to the palace, they were even more panicked. They raised their heads and called Zhao Ruxi nervously: "Miss..."
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. Just go into the palace, install the machine, and teach the eunuchs how to spin. After teaching them, you can quit. There is no need for you to demonstrate in front of the emperor." Zhao Ruxi said.
Her words were to remind Princess Shangde how to behave after entering the palace.
If something unexpected happened, she would be beheaded, so she had to keep saying this.
"Yes, that's it." Princess Shangde laughed and looked at Zhao Ruxi with admiration, "Zhiwei, you have the same idea as me."
She gave the carpenter a few words before leading them into the capital.
When she arrived at the palace gate, she left the loom and the carpenter behind and entered the palace alone.
When the eunuch went to the main hall to report, he even mentioned that the eldest princess had used two carriages to pull a large thing to the palace gate.
Xiao Ge was discussing matters with the ministers. Hearing this, he became curious and quickly sent the ministers away and announced the audience of Princess Shangde.
"I heard that you brought something big to the palace gate?" he asked as soon as he saw Princess Shangde.
Princess Shangde was currently saluting. When she heard these words, she lost her ability to salute and said with joy, "It's a machine that can automatically spin yarn without anyone having to do it."
"What?" Xiao Ge thought he heard wrongly, "Say it again."
Princess Shangde repeated her words proudly.
Xiao Ge looked at Princess Shangde suspiciously, still feeling unable to understand.
However, Princess Shangde has always been reliable and is not a playful person.
He turned around and told the housekeeper: "Go and ask someone to bring the things in."
Princess Shangde hurriedly said: "Let the 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 how to do it, come and ask the emperor to come and see it."
The housekeeper agreed and went out to make arrangements.
Naturally, people and things need to be carefully inspected by the guards to make sure there are no problems before they are allowed into the palace. They do not use horses, but are carried directly into the palace by manpower and installed according to the instructions of Princess Shangde. The eunuchs
