I Bring a System to Flirt with the First Emperor and Build Infrastructure

Zhao Jun harbored an unknown secret: she was an online friend with His Highness the First Emperor from thousands of years ago. Every time she sent him cheap items like water cups and glass, she cou...

Chapter 155 Cotton Workshop

Wang Li spoke very sincerely, which made Zhao Jun feel a little embarrassed.

"Oh, by the way, the number of people from outside the Great Wall who have been allowed in from the north is even greater than expected. Isn't the pressure on your city gates a bit great? Has the king sent you a new county lieutenant?"

When Zhao Jun came in, he clearly noticed that there were more guards at the city gate.

"Oh, don't worry about that, sir. The king has already mobilized troops. The number of soldiers has doubled now, so there is no problem with safety."

As they spoke, they arrived in front of the official post station.

"It's getting late today, so I won't delay you. Sir, please rest. If you need anything in the future, just call me."

Zhao Jun saw Wang Li and others off and returned to the official inn.

Zhao Jun and Qing Liu are already quite familiar with this place.

After traveling all the way and shopping in the market for a long time, everyone was indeed a little tired.

Zhao Jun fell asleep with excitement and joy.

The next day, they gathered in the lobby of the official inn, feeling refreshed.

Fusu and Xiao He were already waiting here, and only Zhao Jun and Qing Liu arrived late.

"Sir, shouldn't we go and see the newly built workshop today?"

Before Zhao Jun could say anything, Xiao He couldn't help but ask.

"Why do I feel like you are more anxious than me?"

Zhao Jun asked Xiao He jokingly while eating the prepared breakfast.

"No, I just want to get started right away. I can't wait to see the cotton and the looms."

Before coming, Zhao Jun told Xiao He the purpose of his trip.

He was very interested in this cotton and the cotton workshop to be built in the future.

"Well, that's good. Keep up the enthusiasm."

"We'll set off for the County Magistrate's Mansion soon, and let Yu Zhaoyi show us around."

The King of Zhao expressed great approval of Xiao He's workaholic attitude.

Yu Zhaoyi had received a notice from Zhao Jun yesterday and had been waiting at the county magistrate's mansion early in the morning.

By the time they arrived, Yu Zhaoyi had been waiting for a long time.

"My Lord, you are here, please take your seats."

I haven't seen you for a few months, but County Magistrate Yu hasn't changed much.

When they came in, they saw another person with the same smile on his face.

He is about the same age as Yu Zhaoyi and is also extremely respectful.

Without waiting for Zhao Jun to ask, Yu Zhaoyi began to introduce.

"Sir, this is Lord Nie Qi, the newly appointed Censor of the North."

The man bowed respectfully again.

Yu Zhaoyi glanced at Zhao Jun, who was smiling, and silently criticized him.

This Lord Zhao seems to be kind, but what he did in the north before.

He didn't say anything at ordinary times, but as soon as he left, he demoted the former Supervisory Censor to some unknown place.

But there are ways to do it.

Zhao Jun didn't want to waste time talking to Yu Zhaoyi, so he said.

"We're old acquaintances, so I won't waste any more time. I sent a message back earlier saying that the cotton mill is finished, right? And the looms, how are they doing?"

She smiled faintly, but her eyes looking at Yu Zhaoyi were full of meaning.

If you dare not do your job well, you can forget about becoming the county governor.

"Your Excellency, it is all completed. I built it exactly as you instructed. I am just waiting for your inspection."

Yu Zhaoyi said hurriedly.

"Okay, let's go and review it now."

The group walked out again in a mighty procession.

The address for the construction workshop was chosen by Zhao Jun.

After all, she had traveled almost all over the North at that time and already had a suitable address in mind.

A few people walked out of the county magistrate's office and headed north. They crossed several streets and passed several ordinary houses, and finally saw the workshop.

The workshop covers a large area. Because the textile machines are quite large, the entire workshop is almost twice the size of a papermaking workshop.

There are some houses where ordinary people live nearby, but they are relatively sparse.

Even though the workshop is located here, there is still a lot of open space around it.

This is Beiluo, which is where Zhao Jun saw it when he came to see the old doctor Chen.

Xiao He looked at the huge workshop in front of him and became more and more excited.

This is much bigger than a papermaking workshop.

There were soldiers guarding the workshop, and they opened the door on their own initiative when they saw them coming.

When Zhao Jun designed it again, he designed two gates.

The workshop is very large, with two gates in the north and south for greater convenience.

At this time, they were at the North Gate.

Several people were preparing to go in.

“There’s nothing hanging on this one yet.”

Fusu suddenly spoke.

He pointed to the spot just above the gate.

"Yes, my Lord didn't tell me where to hang the plaque before, so I wanted to leave it for you to name it yourself."

I see.

Zhao Jun thought about it and decided that he could hold a plaque unveiling ceremony when the store officially opened.

Yu Zhaoyi led everyone into the workshop gate.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a slightly empty courtyard.

This was left by Zhao Jun for use in the final shipment.

Behind it is a long row of houses.

The shape of the house is a bit peculiar, and the door of each room is on the side.

Everyone was even more amazed after entering this small door.

Even Zhao Jun couldn't help but look sideways.

The length of the house was beyond their imagination, as if it were three rooms connected together.

Not only that, it is now neatly filled with wooden looms.

There is a seat in front of each textile machine, and you can tell at a glance that the people are sitting in front of the machine to work.

Several people looked around curiously.

Xiao He even sat in front of the loom for a long time without moving.
