Chapter 66: Widow Ba Qing, seeking cooperation

Ying Ying Zi Ye smiled faintly.

"This is called a curved-shaft plow; you just need to manufacture it."

"And this is called a seed drill. These are the manufacturing blueprints; there are explanations on them."

"After they are made, send them to my residence. Only after confirming there are no errors can we begin mass production."

"Understood!"

Sun Wu accepted the order and went to find the artisans with the Xuan paper.

Ying Ying Zi Ye rode in his carriage and had just returned to his residence.

Not long after he sat down, the steward came to report.

"Your Highness, someone outside is requesting an audience."

Ying Ying Zi Ye set down his teacup.

He glanced at the steward.

"Who is looking for me?"

"Your Highness, she says her name is Ba Qing."

Hmm? Ba Qing?

Ying Ying Zi Ye was taken aback; he knew of this person, Ba Qing.

Ba Qing, the number one widow of Great Qin!

Having inherited the family business, Ba Qing never remarried.

At the same time, she was also the wealthiest person in Great Qin, Ba Qing!

Even Qin Shi Huang held her in high regard.

This woman ran a massive business, possessed a very agile mind, and was no simple person.

Moreover, she frequently donated grain and fodder to the Great Qin army.

Therefore, Qin Shi Huang could be said to value this Ba Qing highly.

But why would Ba Qing be looking for him?

They had never had any interaction before.

Ying Ying Zi Ye thought for a moment and said, "Bring her in."

"Understood!"

The steward accepted the order and left.

Soon, a woman dressed in luxurious clothing was brought into the main hall.

"This commoner pays respects to the Ninth Prince."

Ying Ying Zi Ye was sitting on a master's chair.

This was a chair he had had people build; after being tired for so long today, it was time to rest.

Seeing Ba Qing enter, he got down from the master's chair and sat at the eight-immortal table.

It is interesting to note that when Ying Ying Zi Ye first arrived in Great Qin, he was very unaccustomed to this style of sitting on the floor.

He had long ago arranged for people to make some tables and chairs to place in his residence.

In Great Qin, these tables and chairs did not exist.

Ying Ying Zi Ye also curiously sized up this woman.

This woman named Ba Qing was much older than Qin Shi Huang.

Perhaps because she lived a leisurely life and had never done any heavy labor, she looked even younger than Qin Shi Huang.

Ba Qing had regular features; looking at her appearance, she must have been a great beauty in her youth.

Even now, she did not look aged.

Ba Qing appearing here certainly wasn't for fun.

"I wonder what business Lady Ba Qing has with this Prince?"

This was Ba Qing's first time at the Ninth Prince's residence, and she saw the Ninth Prince sitting on a strange chair.

She was incredibly curious; it didn't look like sitting, nor did it look like lying down, yet it appeared quite comfortable.

Looking at the unfamiliar object before her, she felt it was incredibly novel.

She even forgot to answer the question.

Only after hearing Ying Ying Zi Ye's words did she withdraw her curiosity.
