Sun Cheng followed Ying Zheng back in a daze.
Although he was puzzled, this trip was not completely without gain.
The king seemed to be much calmer, and the atmosphere in the palace was finally less depressing.
In any case, as long as the king is happy, his life will be much better.
After returning from King Zhao, Ying Zheng felt much better.
He attributed this to the fact that with capable ministers like Zhao Jun, conquering the world was just around the corner. How could he not be happy?
After dealing with him, Zhao Jun also breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be better if she wasn't blamed, otherwise it would be difficult for her to explain.
After that, Zhao Jun rarely stayed in Zhiyang Palace. She spent the past few days studying textile machines with Mo Jia and Ju Zi.
The structure of that old-fashioned textile machine is not complicated.
Because they are all made of wood and are purely handmade, they are certainly not as convenient to operate as today's machines, and the procedures are slightly complicated.
However, this is already the simplest method, and weaving cotton should not be a problem.
It took Juzi several days to make it according to the blueprint.
"Sir, you see it's done. It's not complicated, but it's a little big."
Juzi was still dark-skinned and his eyes were shining as he spoke.
Zhao Jun looked at the wooden shelf in front of him and nodded.
When she saw the blueprint, she knew that this thing was not small.
Because it requires the cooperation of several people, and the cotton needs to be spun into thread first, and then manually woven into cloth one by one.
She thought about the weaving operation of the loom and realized that she probably couldn't be so careful anyway.
In short, the thing has been made, and we will go to the north to train on how to use it.
"It's done. Thank you for your hard work, Juzi."
She had dealt with Ju Zi many times, and her tone was already very familiar to him.
"It's nothing, it's what I should do." He smiled innocently and scratched his head.
"But there's one thing. I'm going to take this stuff to the north and make it in large quantities. I definitely can't make it in Xianyang and then send it over. I have to go to the north and find craftsmen there to make it."
"Can an ordinary craftsman make something like this based on a blueprint like this?"
Such large and numerous textile machines definitely cannot be shipped out from Xianyang.
She had never hired a carpenter outside, so she didn't know if this thing was difficult to make.
Juzi replied quickly.
"No problem, this thing is not difficult. I will make some instructions on your drawings later. Any ordinary carpenter can do it."
"That's fine. Thank you for your help then."
The problem of the textile machine has been solved, but I'm afraid I won't know when I can actually use it until I go to the north.
It's already mid-July, and I estimate I have to leave in early September.
She first wrote a letter to the north, asking them to build the house there first, and then sent the blueprints over to start the construction.
Otherwise, it might be too late to do these things when she passes away.
Zhao Jun came out of the workshop, counting on his fingers as he thought about each thing carefully.
Just as she was about to leave the palace and return to the road leading to the palaces of the six kingdoms, she saw several people passing by in the distance.
Zhao Jun stopped and squinted his eyes. The man standing in the middle seemed to be an acquaintance.
Humph, isn’t that Changping Jun?
The man not far away seemed to have seen her as well, but he didn't show any intention of coming over to say hello.
Zhao Jun stayed for a moment and then left.
How come Changping Jun appeared in the palace at this time, and was still there?
That location was not close to Ying Zheng's front hall, but rather close to the harem.
Did Ying Zheng agree to let him visit Madam Chu?
Changping Jun did come to see Madam Chu.
He had just arrived when Zhao Jun saw him.
Xiong Qi didn't care about what happened just now when he met Zhao Jun.
At this time, he was talking in Madam Chu's palace.
"Sister, this is a specialty of Chu State sent by my family. It tastes like home, so I thought of sending some to you in the palace."
Xiong Qi took a box and handed it to Mrs. Chu.
But his fingers tapped lightly on the box.
He came here on the pretext of delivering something, and he couldn't stay for long. Besides, some things were hard to say in the palace, and who knew if there were ears on the walls.
He gave a slight signal with his eyes, and Mrs. Chu nodded in understanding and put the things away.
Afterwards, the two chatted about some irrelevant family matters, and then Changping Jun left.
Chu Rong watched Changping Jun's departing figure until he could no longer see him.
Only when she saw Changping Jun could she feel that she was a Chu person.
Late at night, Chu Rong dismissed all the servants, hid in the house, and opened the things in the box under the dim candlelight.
That was a letter.
Qiaoqiao, my dear, it’s been a long time since we last met. I wonder if everything is going well for you in Qin.
It was a letter from his mother. Changping Jun actually brought a letter from his mother.
Chu Rong almost cried when he saw the familiar font.
It has been a long time since anyone called her by her nickname.
The situation is tense now. The King of Qin continues to conquer the world. The future of Chu depends on you alone.
Now the Qin army is at the border of Wei and will probably destroy Wei soon. Your father is worried that Chu will be next.
Qiaoqiao, my son, although you are in a dangerous situation now, you may be able to do something earth-shattering.
Fusu was the eldest son of the King of Qin and had a good reputation. If Ying Zheng died, Fusu would succeed him.
Fusu was kind-hearted and had the Chu State as his foreign relative. If he succeeded to the throne, the world would be peaceful and the wars would stop.
As a mother, I know that this is a difficult matter, but for the future of the State of Chu, I must do my best, and Lord Changping will also help you.
Kill Ying Zheng, Fusu will succeed to the throne, you will be the queen mother, Chu will be a royal relative, the world will be at peace, and you will submit to me.
