With the popularity of paving and coal blocks in Xianyang.
Zhao Jun also went through the busiest August.
Nowadays, almost all the roads in Xianyang City are paved with cement, which is flat and smooth.
Especially after it rained two days ago, the advantages are even more obvious.
The coal blocks were quickly accepted by everyone.
The weather is still hot now, so ordinary people didn’t buy much, but slightly larger restaurants or families who need to use fire for business all bought coal.
There is no other way, because it is really useful.
As a result, the Imperial Household Department gained another large income.
Zhao Jun asked Bai Zhangling to directly contact Meng Yi to collect and organize the income from the coal mining site every month.
Zhao Jun was making preparations before departure because she was about to set off for the north.
As September approaches, the cotton harvest season is about to arrive. News has come from the north that the cotton workshop has been completed.
We have also asked craftsmen from the surrounding areas to make a lot of textile machines.
She had to finish the affairs in Xianyang and then rush to the north.
"How's it going, Qingliu? We won't be gone for too long this time. Have you dealt with the things at the workshop?"
Because of the previous experience, Qingliu paid special attention to the workers in the workshop.
"No problem, sir. In fact, if Xiao He doesn't go, he is the best candidate."
"However, you told me before that he would be going too, so Xiao He and I found a few more people in the workshop."
"It's not about having one person run the workshop alone, but rather several people managing it together. This is what Xiao He told me."
"I've also asked Guo Zhangling of the Internal Affairs Office to check on it from time to time. There's no problem."
She spoke one by one, and it was obvious that she had made a lot of preparations beforehand.
"Okay, what about Xiao He? I've already told him how his preparations are going."
Zhao Jun checked the account books of the coal mine during this period in the Internal History Office and found no problems. Meng Yi's work was still very clear.
"Oh, him, he's almost ready. He's just giving Liu Ji some instructions now."
"I heard that when Liu Ji heard that he was going on a long journey, he shouted at the top of his lungs."
Qingliu had a malicious smile on his face.
After hearing this, Zhao Jun also showed an indescribable expression.
"Tell me, could it be that Liu Ji really has some other thoughts about Xiao He?"
"However, this cannot be blamed on him. After all, Xiao He was too gentle to him."
Zhao Jun said this as if jokingly.
She really felt that Xiao He sometimes treated Liu Bang as his son.
After the matters of the Neishi Mansion and the workshop were settled, Zhao Jun also wanted to say goodbye to the person in the palace.
Not only her, but Fusu also wants to go with her, so she has to say goodbye to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng had already known about her departure, after all, she had mentioned before that she would go again.
It was not until the King of Zhao and Fusu came to him together to say goodbye that Ying Zheng suddenly realized what was going on.
The time has passed so quickly, it is time for them to set off.
"Your Majesty, we will be leaving the day after tomorrow. We have come to you today to say goodbye."
In the evening, the King of Zhao came with Fusu.
She didn't come alone, she also brought dinner for today in advance.
Just think of it as a farewell dinner before leaving.
"I haven't had a good hot pot since I came back because of the hot weather. It happened to rain today, and rainy days are perfect for hot pot."
She asked the kitchen staff to bring the food up.
Ying Zheng was already very familiar with the style of eating hot pot, and soon sat down in front of the stove.
"I think the first time I ate hot pot was with Mr. Zhao and my father."
Fusu sighed sincerely as he looked at the bubbling pot bottom.
This is also his second time eating hot pot.
"Yeah, that was also my first time eating hot pot."
Zhao Jun recalled the scene of that day. She was still angry that Ying Zheng had delayed her time to enjoy the delicious food alone.
“Today’s furnaces are a little different.”
Ying Zheng had eaten hot pot many times by himself, and he felt something was wrong as soon as he saw the stove.
"My king, you've noticed that I've replaced the original firewood with coal. This makes it easier to eat."
Originally, this kind of stove should be used with coal briquettes. It was really inconvenient to use firewood before.
After the rain in the evening, the sky was moist and hazy, and a rare refreshing feeling appeared in the hot summer atmosphere.
The boiling hot pot emitted gurgling steam, and the rising smoke gradually filled the entire hall.
She opened the window next to the house, and people standing in the corridor outside could also smell the overbearing fragrance.
The three of them sat opposite each other, eating and chatting.
"When will you be back this time?"
Ying Zheng asked while picking up a piece of beef with chopsticks.
"It won't be long this time, probably just over a month. It's already September, so he'll definitely be back before the New Year."
Zhao Jun didn't delay eating while talking.
"Well, that's good. When will the cotton-padded clothes in the north be ready? Winter is coming soon, and the soldiers at the border will need them very much."
Ying Zheng did not forget the cotton-padded clothes he missed, as winter was coming soon.
"I will go there the day after tomorrow and quickly organize people to start weaving. I will definitely be able to produce a batch before the New Year, but I can't be sure of the quantity. I will write to the king when the time comes. Please tell me which side's soldiers need it most. I will give priority to supplying them. But don't worry, there will be more in the future."
"Well, I will send someone to deliver it to you when the time comes."
Zhao Jun nodded. Of course someone had to transport it. She had no one to deliver it to them.
