Zhu Xiong Ying simply remained in his post. As the Crown Prince, he didn't need to do many things personally; he only needed to control the overall direction and set the tone.
Asking him to become a craftsman was clearly impossible. At most, Zhu Xiong Ying gave some general directions, such as wanting to manufacture matchlock guns, constantly describing the ideas to some craftsmen, or brainstorming to enrich the concept.
Zhu Xiong Ying also constantly discussed cement with some craftsmen and provided them with enough manpower and resources to conduct more experiments.
The Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty was noble and dignified, which instilled fear in many foreign students. They might be powerful and influential in their homelands, but in the Ming Dynasty, they were nothing, and many ordinary people looked down on them.

Old Zhu not only wanted to read the letters Zhu Xiong Ying wrote to him, but also the letters Zhu Xiong Ying wrote to his younger siblings, which Old Zhu would read if he felt like it.
It's perfectly normal for a grandfather to read his grandson's and granddaughter's letters. Old Zhu felt at ease and took it for granted.
