Chapter 240: I will pave the way to the capital at my own expense!

"What are you still doing?"

Seeing Yunshu standing there without moving, Emperor Xuanwu urged:
"Didn't you see your spot?"

"Saw."

It was really prepared for her...

Yun Shu swallowed hard:

"But Father, why should I be here..."

"Of course, I will learn how to handle government affairs from me."

Emperor Xuanwu said as a matter of course:

"You are now the princess, and you will inherit my Tiansheng Empire in the future. You will have to deal with all the memorials on my desk in the future."

"..."

Yun Shu glanced at the three piles of memorials on Emperor Xuanwu's desk, which were piled up like a small mountain, and suddenly felt a little weak:

"Isn't it a little too early now?"

"Early what?"

Emperor Xuanwu glanced at her:
"Don't you spend more time in the upper study than others? Who knows how long it will take you to learn the things in the imperial study."

Yun Shu: “?”

How come she is not the emperor's favorite daughter now?
Why is this so offensive for no reason?
Yun Shu curled his lips:

"But I still have some things to do. I have to go to the Ministry of Works."

"What else do you want?"

Emperor Xuanwu raised his eyebrows.

She has already prepared clothes and quilts for the winter, why does she need to go to the Ministry of Industry?
"I plan to pave the main roads of the capital with cement at my own expense."

Yun Shu straightened his back and said proudly:
"The capital city is under the emperor's feet, so it should have the grandeur of an imperial city!

Nowadays, many bricks on the main road farther away from the imperial palace in the city have been broken, and the highway outside the city is even more muddy, which really undermines the majesty of the imperial city.

I know that the Ministry of Revenue cannot afford to pay any more money in the current situation, but it does not matter.

As the princess of the crown prince, I have the obligation to contribute to the construction of the Tiansheng Dynasty and seek benefits for the people! "

Emperor Xuanwu: “……?”

Although these words sounded quite nice, they even surprised him a little.

But why did he always feel like something was odd?
Although this brat is quite reliable at critical moments, she is still not serious most of the time!
After staring at her for a while with frowned eyebrows, Emperor Xuanwu suddenly narrowed his eyes:

"I remember you said before that you wanted to make money by building roads?"

"...Anyway, no matter what, I will pay for the repairs of the capital's city walls out of my own pocket!"

I can tell my father other things openly, but not this one.

So much silver!

Who knows if her father, who obviously has plenty of private money but still tries to cheat Yun Chuhuan of his meager pocket money, will turn around and rely on his status as an emperor to get the job done before her after he knows how she makes money?

Yun Shu blinked, looking innocent and harmless:

"Father, you won't even stop this, right?"

"..."

That won’t happen.

He or the national treasury doesn't have to pay for this good thing, so why stop it?
Emperor Xuanwu responded majestically:
"If you have the heart, just do it."

"My son, thank you very much, Father!"

Yun Shu raised his hand:

"Then I will go to the Ministry of Works today?"

"Hmm...wait a minute." Emperor Xuanwu nodded, and then he remembered another thing:
"I have something else I'd like to ask your opinion on.

The East Palace has been cleared out now. If you wish, you can have people start moving things today."

The place where the deposed prince lived before...

Yun Shu's expression was somewhat subtle:

"What if I don't want to?"

"If you don't like the original East Palace, you can tear it down and rebuild it."

Emperor Xuanwu was very open-minded and said:
"But you know the situation at the Ministry of Revenue, so you still have to pay for it yourself."

Yun Shu: “…”

It is not easy for her to be the Crown Princess. She has to pay for the reconstruction of the Eastern Palace out of her own pocket!

Even if we take a step back, can't the emperor build a house for his most beloved daughter with his own money?
Nowadays, most families with a little financial resources will buy houses for their daughters.

Yun Shu grumbled to himself, but agreed without hesitation:
"Then I'll have someone calculate how much it will cost."

There's nothing we can do about it. Who made her a princess?

In the future, officials from the imperial court would inevitably come to discuss matters with her. After all, Fengyang Palace was in the harem, and officials from the imperial court were not allowed to enter or leave.
The only option was to let her move to the front.

That is to say, she is still young and has just started to get involved in government affairs.
Otherwise, there won’t even be time to rebuild.

After leaving the imperial study, Yun Shu became more determined to make more money when thinking about the money he was about to spend on the new East Palace.

After she left the palace, she immediately went to find Jiang Yuanbao——

There is no way. My grandfather is still focusing on the warships at the Ministry of Industry.

After Zheng Qiaozhan was enlightened by her last time, he had been thinking about the problem of steam in his dreams for some time.

Now only Jiang Yuanbao is left, because the cement factory can operate independently and there is no need for him to keep an eye on it.

When Yun Shu arrived, Jiang Yuanbao was still holding the cotton in his hand, thinking about something.
He looked up after hearing the noise, and the moment he saw Yun Shu, his eyes lit up:

"Your humble servant greets Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess!"

"Get up, what are you thinking about?"

"Your Highness, I saw you stuff this stuff into your clothes before, making them into soft and warm winter clothes. I was thinking that if these strands of silk could be woven directly into threads and made into cloth, it would definitely be extremely comfortable."

Jiang Yuanbao said, and scratched his head a little embarrassedly:

"It's a pity that I haven't had time to try it yet, otherwise I could let Your Highness take a look at it too."

"Isn't this a coincidence?"

Yun Shu raised his eyebrows, took out a blueprint from his sleeve pocket and handed it to the other party:

"check it out."

"This is……"

Jiang Yuanbao was stunned for a moment, then he took the blueprint and studied it carefully for a moment, his eyes lit up even more:

“This is an improved textile machine!
If you look closely, the change is not that big. It just changes the original single horizontal spindle into eight vertical spindles, but the efficiency increases eightfold! "

"It's true from the blueprint, but I haven't tried it in practice.

You can make one first, and then try to spin yarn from the fruit of the weaving shell flower.

If possible, use this to spin more thread and then weave it into cloth.

But remember, it must be kept confidential during this period and not be known to outsiders."

"Yes."

Although Jiang Yuanbao didn't know why Her Royal Highness had such a request, he didn't ask anything and agreed immediately:

"But I don't know when Your Highness will need this woven fabric?"

"Just make it within a month, and besides..."

Yun Shu said, and took out another stack of banknotes:
"This is for you too. Tell the cement factory to make more cement. I want to pave the roads in the capital."
