"Secondly, you and Yuan Chengli can sue for a broken relationship. Shang'er is still young, so the case will definitely not be awarded to the Yuan family."
As Concubine Chen spoke, she turned over the place she had marked and showed it to her sister.
"It also says that all dowries can be reclaimed. We haven't asked the Yuan family for dowries for such a long time, isn't it because of this law?"
When she looked up, she saw her sister wiping her tears.
"Sister, this is a happy occasion, why are you like this?"
Yang Dingyi finally laughed, "Sister, I'm just happy, but also a little sad. I'm useless and I made everyone worry about me."
Concubine Chen looked at her sister disapprovingly, "Sister, have you forgotten our Yang family's motto?"
Yang Dingyi carefully put away the handkerchief and said, "I dare not forget to be loyal to the emperor, love Qin, and protect my family."
"Yes, if that's the case, why would you say that?" Concubine Chen smiled. "Tomorrow, you will go to the government to file a complaint against the Yuan family. They will file a case, arrest Yuan's mother, and then we can divorce and get your dowry back."
"And the reason I asked you to come to Qinhan Academy today is because I hope you can be the teacher here."
Yang Dingyi raised her head suddenly, "Sister, how can I be a teacher? A teacher should be a man!"
Concubine Chen shook her head. "The new enrollment resume has been released. When the time comes, not only men will be enrolled, but women will also be enrolled."
"Male teachers may be excellent, but female teachers may be more careful, and women may be more daring to speak to female teachers. By then, I will also be the mechanical engineer at Qinhan Academy. I hope that more children can learn this technology and develop more good things for our Great Qin."
The more Yang Dingyi listened, the more alarmed she became. "Sister, this isn't appropriate. If everyone in the Yang family were to teach at the academy, gossip would inevitably spread. It would be good if His Majesty didn't get upset, but if that ever happened, I'm afraid this would be used as a handle."
"No problem. Your loom and silkworm breeding techniques. His Majesty has already applied for a special courtyard for you. This will not only be a place for you to take classes, but also a place for you to conduct research. Do you understand?"
The Concubine Chen smiled. Of course, she couldn't let the officials have anything to say.
After such a long time, my younger sister was the only one who overcame the difficulty of raising silkworms in winter and upgraded the original textile machine.
Today's textile machines no longer require three people to work simultaneously. Instead, only one woman is needed to operate the machine, threading the needle with her hands and quickly weave a beautiful and practical piece of cloth.
It not only saves manpower and time, but is also more suitable for ordinary people.
It’s small, only takes up a small area, and is not expensive.
"I have discussed with His Majesty that your looms will be manufactured and sold by the imperial court at half the price of large looms sold outside. Furthermore, the imperial court will purchase the looms first for military use."
Yang Dingyi nodded slowly, "Sister and His Majesty have arranged everything so well. I never thought of this."
Seeing her sister nod, Concubine Chen smiled and asked, "Sister. I also want to ask, how is your progress on that down jacket?"
Yang Dingyi quickly asked the maid beside him to put the package on the table.
At the same time, he stood up as well.
"Sister, look at this. This is a small vest I made using duck feathers, chicken feathers, and goose feathers."
"I made it sleeveless so that soldiers could wear light equipment when they went into battle. Then I paired it with this long shirt, which is both light and comfortable to wear."
The Concubine Chen also stood up and touched it directly.
"This goose feather one seems to be extra light, and I can feel the warmth just by touching it."
Yang Dingyi's eyes revealed a smile, "Sister, you are amazing. This goose feather is indeed the most comfortable. I used cross stitching here to stuff the feathers in piece by piece, so you don't have to worry about the feathers running away."
The Concubine Chen looked at her sister and felt extremely proud.
"Sister, you are really amazing."
Yang Dingyi blushed immediately, "Sister, this goose down suit is made according to your size. Do you want to take it home and try it on?"
The Concubine Chen looked at the small vest embroidered with her favorite plum blossoms in her hand, and knew in her heart that it was a token of her sister's love, so she said immediately, "I'll wear it now."
The place where they were staying now was originally the Master's room. All of Concubine Chen's belongings were kept here, making it very convenient to change them.
After a while, she changed her clothes and came out.
"Sister, this dress looks like nothing on me. It's so clean. And the sleeves are perfect for fighting. Our soldiers will be ready to strike before the enemy even notices."
Yang Dingyi's eyes sparkled when he mentioned the down jacket. "Sister is right. I bought one for Daddy, as well as my older brothers. Daddy went to the military camp a few days ago to compete with the soldiers and said it was very comfortable and didn't affect his moves at all."
"Then I thought about whether it could be made into a down quilt, but it was a bit inconvenient to carry a quilt on the march, so I thought about whether I could roll it up and put it in a special bag to tighten it."
Seeing that his sister was still thinking, Yang Dingyi compressed the down jacket in his hand hard. Soon the down jacket was only one-third of its original size.
Concubine Chen looked at the thing in her sister's hand with a look of shock. If the quilt could be compressed like this, how convenient it would be for their soldiers to march and fight!
"Sister, just go ahead and do it. I'll take you to your courtyard now and we'll plan it out."
"We can do this series here. Once the first prince starts hatching goose feathers, we will have a large number of geese raised artificially. It will be easy to ask the people to collect goose feathers."
Yang Dingyi shook his head and explained to Concubine Chen's puzzled eyes, "Sister, I accept these goose feathers, but the people don't accept my silver at all. Some even think I'm not very smart."
"It would be best if the government stepped in at that time, so that the people would be happy, and if the quantity is large, there would be no need to worry about the price being raised."
When the Concubine Chen thought about it, it was indeed true. The goose feathers needed for an army of 100,000 were just more than enough.
"Okay, I'll take note of what my sister said, and we'll improve it later."
As they were talking, they arrived at the courtyard.
"Sister, this place is great. The land at the back can be used to dry goose feathers. We need to get rid of the dirt inside the goose feathers, and we also need to pick out the hard feathers."
When Concubine Chen heard this, she thought, isn’t this a coincidence?
She quickly said, "Those students will not only be your students, but also your subordinates. You must use them well. These simple tasks can be done together, and it can also be considered a form of labor."
Of course Yang Dingyi agreed, so he smiled.
Qin Zhenzhen watched the live broadcast with great interest and relayed it to Qin Yuanhao from time to time. When Qin Yuanhao learned about the magical properties of down jackets, he wanted one too.
When he returned to the palace, he asked Concubine Chen to prepare a set for him.
My aunt is amazing! She even came up with the idea of a sleeping bag. She's very creative. And this loom is perfect for everyday people.
