Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

"Now that the spring is made."

"Then the shuttle I told you about before that can travel back and forth on the chute should not be a problem, right?"

Zhu Yunhuan withdrew his thoughts and looked at the Minister of Works Qin Kui.

Qin Kui nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it has been made according to your previous description. However, it is quite large. According to the rules, it cannot be brought in without your Majesty's permission. Therefore, it is currently waiting outside the Qianqing Palace."

"Whether to have it brought in for His Majesty to see, still requires His Majesty's approval."

"Something bigger?"

Zhu Yunhuan frowned slightly, feeling puzzled. How big could a weaving shuttle be? Even with a pulley and a groove, it couldn't be that big, right?

After pondering for a moment, he immediately ordered: "Bring it in and take a look first."

"His Majesty has ordered, bring it in!" Qin Kui took two steps back and shouted sideways towards the outside of the Qianqing Palace.

Then, two officials from the Ministry of Works, dressed in green robes, came in carrying a large item...

Zhu Yunhuan took a closer look and was a little confused.

The appearance of this thing was not much different from the "flying shuttle" he had expected, but this model was several times larger than the shuttle used for weaving. This also resulted in the pulleys and chutes that supported the shuttle being larger as well. When combined together, it became a large object...

"This... is the shuttle you made for me?" Zhu Yunhuan said speechlessly.

While talking.

He also walked out from behind the Dragon Desk and adjusted the big object in front of him with great interest. As Zhu Yunhuan fiddled with it, the sound of the shuttle moving "whoosh whoosh" was heard in the Qianqing Palace.

After the initial confusion.

Zhu Yunhuan felt relieved a little - although the model was much larger, this thing was indeed made according to his requirements. There was a pulley on the shuttle, and springs on both sides allowed the shuttle to move through the slide - the functionality was basically met.

Hearing Zhu Yunhuan's ambiguous words.

Qin Kui's face suddenly showed a trace of panic: "Please... Your Majesty, give me some advice? Is it still not big enough? I have spoiled Your Majesty's interest..."

Zhu Yunhuan had only told him that he wanted a shuttle that could move by itself, but he did not specify or tell him what he wanted it for. After all, things must be done in secrecy, and he certainly could not explain such an important thing clearly to a minister at the beginning unless it was necessary. Moreover, this was the first time he had used Qin Kui.

Qin Kui didn't dare to ask more questions. He just thought about this kind of strange and clever thing... and guessed that he was just playing with it on a whim.

Anyway, this Majesty is famous for his love of play.

He was reported to the Fengtian Hall by the censors every now and then.

Besides, Zhu Yunhuan was very generous. He threw away two hundred thousand taels of silver notes and directly stated that five thousand taels of them could belong to him.

Based on the principle of doing good things when you get paid.

Qin Kui had, of course, built this thing to be incredibly large, even the shuttle on it was specially made...

"Your Majesty seems to be still dissatisfied? It seems that I was too conservative with this size?" Qin Kui secretly spied on Zhu Yunhuan's expression and muttered in his heart.

"It's a disappointment..." Zhu Yunhuan murmured.

After hearing what Qin Kui said, he finally understood what was going on.

It seems like this guy thought he built the shuttle just for fun.

Well... this big object in front of me can slide back and forth, and it can be used as a clever toy.

Seeing Qin Kui's frightened look, Zhu Yunhuan could only smile helplessly and waved his hand to let the two seventh-rank officials of the Ministry of Works retreat first.

Wait until the two Ministry of Works officials leave.

Qin Kui knelt down and pleaded, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"Get up, you are innocent."

Zhu Yunxun said lightly.

At the same time, he slowly walked back to the dragon desk and sat down.

He knew that Qin Kui could not be blamed for this. After all, what Qin Kui did was nothing more than guessing Zhu Yunhuan's intentions based on the personality he had shown before, and then trying his best to please his superiors.
