Chapter 988

Ye Xinyan curled her lips at Shi Yin's back, this old man, who usually snarls like that, can't hold back.At this time, it is necessary to show your head seriously, why can't it work?

Really!

She turned to Wang Qiao and said, "Then Aqiao, you can go by yourself and bring an assistant there. If there is an accident or something, I can help you deal with it in time. Take the instruction manual you made with you. .”

manual?Wang Qiao was taken aback, and said, "Don't you need to bring an instruction manual? The masters in the workshop all know the method and steps of using the steam engine. That thing was only written to popularize the usage for the craftsmen in order to avoid accidents at the beginning of the trial."

Ye Xinyan shook her head and explained: "I guess, if this thing enters the palace, it will never come back, and you will never get it back. If the emperor wants to keep the model, you must remember to pay attention to the use of the model." Explain the matter to them in detail. Especially not to dry it, remember to say it several times."

Hongzhi on the side was hesitant to speak several times, and only then could he interrupt: "Grandma Jiang, my prince said..."

what happened again?Ye Xinyan frowned.

Hongzhi smiled wryly, but he could only continue: "My lord said, let you go with us and wait outside the palace gate. If His Majesty tells you, you can take it easy and don't rush to the palace."

Ye Xinyan frowned, and said displeasedly: "Didn't the emperor say that he wanted to see the model running? What's the matter with asking me to wait? I'm pregnant, do you know?"

pregnant?Listening to Ye Xinyan's series of questioning, Hongzhi broke into a sweat.Well, Grandma Jiang must be referring to a pregnant woman. This title is very concise.

"Your Majesty only said that you want to see the model.... But, the prince is thinking of grandma, so he asked you to wait outside the palace gate in advance. If His Majesty calls you for an audience, you won't be too anxious, will you?"

Hongzhi looked at Ye Xinyan pitifully.Grandma Jiang was pregnant, and Mr. Jiang was nearly [-] years old before he had the opportunity to be a father. These are all true.

With this excuse, it is indeed possible to shirk and not go to see the emperor.

However, the opportunity is rare.

The emperor summoned Grandma Jiang and asked Grandma Jiang to show her presence in front of the emperor and win the emperor's favor. It would be beneficial to the future of the machinery workshop and the development of industry into the city.

"Perhaps His Majesty won't summon her, so I don't know. Grandma, let's go out to see the street scene in early spring." Hongzhi smiled apologetically.

Ye Xinyan glanced at him again, but there was no other way, "Okay, you guys go ahead, I'll go over later."

It's not that Ye Xinyan is hypocritical, but that the emperor's position is too high.In this world, there is basically no force that can restrain him. When dealing with the emperor, Ye Xinyan can't find a place to rely on, and most of the time he suffers.

…………

She didn't wait long outside the palace when a servant came out and looked left and right to find someone.Seeing Ye Xinyan's carriage at a glance, he bumped over to inquire.

This was Ye Xinyan's second meeting with the emperor, probably because of her special situation, the servant was accompanied by a middle-aged female official.After the female officer came forward to greet Ye Xinyan, she followed her and followed the servants all the way to the imperial study.

Ye Xinyan stepped into the door and quickly glanced at the people in the room.

It seems that the steam engine model has been shown, and the effect should be very good.

In the corner of one side of the imperial study room, there is a table case, which should be temporarily placed.The iron box with the four walls spread out was placed on the table, and the steam engine model had stopped running and was cooling down.

The emperor sat on the dragon couch, his face was full of spring breeze, and he looked very happy.

Zhang Cunhai still served him respectfully.

Jin Rong was sitting on a chair on one side of the dragon couch, smiling and talking to the emperor.

Wang Qiao and the assistants he brought also had a place.In the lower position of Jin Rong's head, the two of them wiped the edge of the stool and sat on the two brocade stools tremblingly.

To Ye Xinyan's surprise, there were no other ministers in the room, only Cheng Dahui, the general supervisor she had seen before, sitting on a chair on the other side.

This Mr. Cheng was probably shocked by the operation of the steam engine, and he seemed very excited.The water tank of the steam engine has cooled down, and he still looks at Wang Qiao and the model from time to time.

Ye Xinyan's pregnancy was still short, and she didn't show her pregnancy.When she entered the door, according to the rules, she kowtowed to the emperor first.

The emperor was in a good mood, and gave her a brocade stool for the first time.It's just that she is a woman, and the position of the brocade stool is farther away from the others, where Cheng Dahui is more likely to attack.

The emperor looked at Ye Xinyan with a smile, and said: "I heard from Wang Qiao that the operating principle and basic structure of the steam engine were all proposed by you. So I specially introduced you to talk about what to do next. .”

This... Ye Xinyan glanced at Wang Qiao very melancholy.It turns out that the people who work together, if they are too good-natured and too honest, will also cause trouble for her.

Ye Xinyan bowed her body and replied: "Your Majesty, it is Mr. Wang who is too modest. The minister's wife just expressed an illusory idea, but the actual work is done by the craftsmen and masters of the machinery workshop. Women don't matter."

It was she who proposed using steam as power.But for the basic structure, she has already made many detours, and only briefly mentioned the direction.What kind of structure to use is Wang Qiao's own idea, okay?
In vain she thought that the emperor would ask questions about the promotion and patents of steam engines.Unexpectedly, she actually talked about the specific research and development affairs. Is she a woman?It's not easy for a woman to stand in front of people in this era, right?
When the emperor heard Ye Xinyan's answer, the smile on his face became more gentle, and he nodded slightly in satisfaction.

Ordinary people, when they encounter credit, they will rush forward and rush forward, wishing to give all the credit to themselves.

The people in this machinery workshop have become exceptions.Ye Xinyan, Shi Yin, and Wang Qiao were all creditors for the development of the steam engine that Jin Rong said.That Shi Yin even gave up the opportunity to display his talents in front of the palace to young people, his character is really rare.

"I know that you are worried about the old and weak of Qi's grandparents, so you want to support one or two. But the construction business is a profitable path after all, not as good as steam engines. It is related to the people's livelihood and the prosperity of the country. I think you should pay more attention to the mechanical workshop. It is serious to raise the efficiency of iron smelting as soon as possible.”

Ye Xinyan immediately rolled her eyes.

That said, it doesn't hurt your back to stand and talk, right?Co-authoring the world and national power belong to your royal family, so we should make money for you, help you strengthen your national power, and put our own business aside?
In the past, the emperor seemed reasonable, but what he said was too light, right?

Ye Xinyan was upset, she rolled her eyes very neatly.Suddenly, Ji Ran realized that the occasion was not right, and the person she cast her eyes on was even more wrong... This, this, this, she quickly lowered her eyes and closed her half-rolled eyes.

This is so difficult.

The emperor is in a good mood, and he also knows that An Guogong's granddaughter, who has been in the capital for many years, is rare and lawless.As a woman, if you are ignorant, you have to tolerate one or two things.
