Chapter 36: The Great Master

It was noon the next day that Zhang Jingyi went to the duty.

He is worried now, and he is always worried about the palace maid.

When Zhang Jing went to duty, Emperor Tianqi seemed to have just woken up shortly afterwards.

After washing up, after lunch, I saw Zhang Jingyi being very worried, so I said, "Why, do you have something to worry about?"

Zhang Jing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty... is humble..."

Zhang Jingyi suddenly became surprised. He had a secret in his heart and always felt that he might be seen by others at any time.

He even thought impulsively and simply reported the matter about the palace maid.

But after looking at the eunuchs around him, he still suppressed his inner desire and said quickly: "It's... he is humble to build a wooden tool, but unfortunately he drew drawings and hired many skilled craftsmen, but they had no choice."

"Is that true?" Emperor Aoki suddenly became interested: "What are you going to create? Come and show me."

"this……"

Zhang Jingyi felt a little embarrassed.

But Emperor Tianqi was very excited and insisted that Zhang Jingyi re-draw a drawing to show him.

Zhang Jing was not polite at all and drew out the things he wanted to make.

When Emperor Tianqi saw this, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but say, "Interesting, interesting, many of the manufacturing methods inside are indeed a little different. Is this a weaving machine? Why is it like this? Come, I'll take a closer look."

Emperor Tianqi picked up the drawings and looked at them very seriously. Sometimes, he couldn't understand the contents of the drawings, so he asked Zhang Jingyi, and Zhang Jingyi also answered them one by one.

Emperor Tianqi became more interested and pondered for a long time and said, "You ask those craftsmen outside, most of them are elm-headed. How can they be made? If you come to find me, you will find the right person. Why? This is your business?"

Zhang Jingyi said honestly: "Yes."

"Can you make money?"

Zhang Jing thought for a while: "Well, it's very profitable!"

"Haha..." Emperor Aoki smiled.

Zhang Jing said: "If Your Majesty can build this loom, if you make a lot of money in the future, you will definitely offer 20% of the profit..."

Emperor Tianqi was unmoved and looked dull: "No need, it's just a simple task."

20% profit?

When am I beggar?

Just you, a little bit of a fucking profit?

I don’t know how much I earn if I am any mining supervisor.

Emperor Tianqi said calmly: "Keep the drawings here, I will make them before tomorrow. Of course, some of the craftsmanship will be slightly improved. Your drawings... need to be modified in some places."

At this time, what Emperor Tianqi showed was the temperament of a sweeping monk.

It was as if this drawing that stumped countless people was not worth mentioning in his eyes.

Of course, he does have the capital to brag. Emperor Tianqi has a very high talent for this thing. People with the surname Zhu... are indeed more perverted, and they can often turn their interests and hobbies into the level of a master.

So on the second day, a loom was delivered to the Zhang family.

When Zhang Jing returned to the mansion, he realized that His Majesty specially ordered someone to send it, so he circled around the loom!

After confirming that this thing can be used, Zhang Jingyi also discovered that His Majesty sent a new drawing, but this drawing...has improved the process.

There seems to be some explanations above, which roughly explains why some places need to be changed, and what effect will be achieved after the changes.

Generally speaking, the way is simple. Zhang Jingyi's drawings were too complicated before, which greatly increased the difficulty of the process. Emperor Tianqi greatly reduced the manufacturing process of this loom without changing its functions.

In short, not only are things made, but the design and manufacturing process are greatly simplified.

"This is simply a work of art." Zhang Jing tried it and then called the two brothers: "Two brothers, now there is a big thing left to you. Whether our Zhang family can make a fortune depends on today."

"Get rich?"

"Brother, go find some women, oh, just look for the women and children in Qingpingfang, and let them try this loom to see how much cloth it can produce."

"Why don't you let me find a woman?" Deng Jian said indignantly: "Does your third brother have any rift towards me?"

"Second brother." Zhang Jing held back a sentence for a long time: "The water here is too deep, and I'm afraid that my second brother won't be able to control himself."

I heard that I wanted to do business, but the Zhang family actually didn't agree with it, especially Zhang Tianlun. The Zhang family has been hereditary Jinyiwei for generations, and they made a living by robbing and doing business. This is equivalent to crossing another field. According to his years of experience, anything that crosses the field often fails.

He called Zhang Jingyi in front of him: "Son, have you ever told you about your third uncle?"

Zhang Jingyi said in confusion: "San Uncle?"

"Yes, it's a brother of your grandfather. He is the second son, so he is not qualified to inherit his post. So he is like you, thinking about doing some business, but guess what, he lost all his money, and he was so angry because of this."

Zhang Jingyi: “…”

"I dare to ask my father, what business does this third uncle do?"

Zhang Tianlun said: "I heard that I sell fur goods in Lingnan."

Zhang Jingyi: “…”

This is not a business loss, it is a stupid thing.

Lingnan is Guangdong, fur... is used for heating.

Zhang Jingyi was still determined to act alone, and Zhang Tianlun had no choice but to do anything to him.

In the past two days, Zhang Jingyi was busy asking craftsmen to build a weaving machine according to the drawings of Emperor Tianqi.

It’s true that since Emperor Apocalypse redesigned, craftsmen have made it much more convenient for them to make.

But now the Zhang family has no money. After everyone built the weaving machine, Zhang Jingyi excitedly wrote an IOU to them.

So, a group of craftsmen looked at Zhang Jingyi wearing a kirin suit with a confused look on his face.

A thought came out in their minds like a fire of calcium carbide... Could this be a robbery?

He accepted the IOU with tears in his eyes and repeatedly told Zhang Jing that he must pay back the money in a month, so they all left in a bad mood.

Zhang Jingyi started to ask someone to clean up the shops of Qingpingfang again. This shop occupies a large area and is quite large in scale. However, in Qingpingfang, most of the Qingpingfang are poor and have no consumption capacity.

Moreover, there were many orphans of Jinyiwei. Zhang Jingyi asked his elder brother Wang Cheng to invite many women and children to come and sign agreements with them one by one to provide them with looms and cotton for them to weave them.

After a few days, after settlement, the business had not started, he owed the craftsman more than ninety taels of silver and the cotton merchant seven hundred and fifty taels. In addition, there were scattered foreign debts of more than three hundred taels.

Wang Cheng and Deng Jian were terrified for a moment.

This incident began to spread. Many people with good things watched the excitement. The Jinyiwei was doing business. This was the first time the big girl got into the sedan chair.

This day has reached the fourth day of September.

Zhang Jing had a quick time and hurried to the vicinity of Qionghua Island. Apart from the palace wall, there was a sluice gate. There were no people coming and going here, especially at night, which was very deserted.

Occasionally, some patrol guards pass by, but Zhang Jing is a general of the Han Dynasty and is wearing a royal uniform that he has given him. Of course, no one dares to interrogate.

The carriage and horse were ready, and Deng Jian didn't know what to do, but his third brother insisted on making an appointment for a rental car.

When Zhang Jing looked at the sluice connecting the palace, under the night, he didn't say a word. He was a little nervous and had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

When the agreement was made, there was still no movement.

This made Zhang Jingyi a little worried.

Once the matter is leaked, this is not fun. Even if you have gained the trust of Emperor Apocalypse, colluding with the palace servants to escape is definitely a serious crime.

But at this moment, in the river under the sluice.

Under the current of the water, something rushed out.

It's a person.

Before Zhang Jing could think too much, he plunged into the water.

In this darkness, I groped and hugged the person who had almost no breath.

The river was very cold, but with the experience of saving Emperor Tianqi, Zhang Jingyi was much more prepared this time. He quickly rescued the person to the river bank, and the man was breathing a little. Zhang Jingyi was waiting for Deng Jian's car to come while aiding first time.

After a while, in Zhang Jingyi's fear, the man finally woke up quietly, and the carriage that Deng Jian was driving had arrived.
