Li Mingzhu's talents quickly shone brightly in the Ministry of Works. One day, she excitedly arrived at the Imperial Study and said, "Your Majesty, Minister's Daughter has a new invention!"
Lin Xiu Wen set down the memorial he was reading and asked with interest, "Oh? What is it?"
Li Mingzhu unfolded a blueprint. "This is the automatic loom designed by Minister's Daughter, which can greatly improve weaving efficiency."
Su Wanqing leaned in to take a look. "Wonderful! This way, the clothing issue for the common people can be resolved."
However, Liu Rumei frowned. "But what about those who rely on weaving for their livelihood?"
Li Mingzhu was well-prepared. " Minister's Daughter has considered this; they can learn to operate the new machine and become technical workers."
A glimmer of appreciation flashed in Lin Xiu Wen's eyes. "Good! I approve."
The new machine was soon put into use, bringing a revolutionary change to the textile industry. However, change always comes with growing pains.
One day, a group of weavers came to petition in front of the palace. "Your Majesty, the new machine has taken away our livelihoods!"
Lin Xiu Wen personally stepped out of the palace to reassure them. "Rest assured, I have ordered that all weavers can learn to operate the new machine for free." The weavers remained skeptical.
At that moment, Li Mingzhu stepped forward. "Everyone, I can teach you."
She demonstrated how to operate the new machine on the spot, leaving the weavers astonished.
"So simple!" an elderly weaver exclaimed. "It's much easier than hand weaving!"
The storm calmed, but greater challenges soon followed.
Liu Rumei rushed in. "Your Majesty, we have located the hiding place of the remnants from the previous dynasty!"
Lin Xiu Wen immediately summoned his trusted ministers for discussion.
"Your Majesty," an elderly official said with concern, "if we act rashly, it may cause turmoil in the court..."
Suddenly, Su Wanqing suggested, "Why not lure the snake out of its hole?"
She whispered her plan into Lin Xiu Wen's ear, who nodded repeatedly.
The next day, Lin Xiu Wen announced that a Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony would be held.
On the day of the sacrifice to heaven, the remnants from the previous dynasty could not contain themselves and launched a rebellion.
However, as soon as they rushed into the palace, they were surrounded by the Imperial Guard, who had been lying in wait.
"Put your hands up and surrender!" Liu Rumei commanded coldly.
The Rebel Leader sneered, "Do you think this is the end? The Court still has our people!"
Lin Xiu Wen, however, laughed, "Are you talking about these people?"
With a wave of his hand, a group of ministers was brought forward. It turned out that Su Wanqing had already uncovered the traitors within the Court through careful investigation.
With the Rebellion quelled, the court was cleared of dissenters.
Li Mingzhu's new spinning machine was quickly promoted throughout the nation.
One day, Lin Xiu Wen was in the imperial study reviewing memorials when Su Wanqing burst in excitedly. "Your Majesty, look at this!"
She handed him a memorial from the Ministry of Revenue regarding the development of the Textile Industry.
Lin Xiu Wen read it carefully and became increasingly astonished. "Is this... really true?"
"Indeed," Su Wanqing replied with a smile. "Since the introduction of the new spinning machine, textile production has increased tenfold, effectively solving the clothing issues for the common people."
Lin Xiu Wen's eyes lit up. "Excellent! I must reward Li Mingzhu handsomely!"
In the imperial study, Lin Xiu Wen was still reviewing memorials when Su Wanqing entered with a bowl of ginseng soup. "Your Majesty, it's time to take a break."
Lin Xiu Wen looked up and noticed Ashide and Liu Rumei following her.
"What are you all doing here?" he asked, somewhat surprised.
Ashide smiled and said, "We've agreed to take turns supervising Your Majesty's rest."
Liu Rumei added, "It's for Your Majesty's health."
Lin Xiu Wen couldn't help but chuckle. "I'm not that delicate..."
"Your Majesty," Su Wanqing said seriously, "You often say that governing a country is like managing a household. If you can't even take care of your own health, how can you govern the realm?"
With no choice but to relent, Lin Xiu Wen set down his brush. "Alright, alright, I will rest now."
