On the next day, Jinrong, who received a message from Jiang Yifan, brought Hu Jing and went directly to the place where Jiang Yifan worked at the Ministry of Works.
He waved off the officials who came to greet him, sat down on the chair at the head, with Hu Jing and Jiang Yifan accompanying him on both sides.
After the department clerk served tea and retreated, Jiang Yifan said, "I only mentioned that there was something to discuss, not that it was urgent. Yet, Your Highness has come right over."
Jinrong had just come from the court not long ago. He took a sip of tea, breathed out, and said, "Did Qi Younian bring back any news when he returned from Yuanzhou the other day? As you know, my Imperial Father wishes to promote new-style agricultural tools from the Mechanical Workshop. I'm just wondering if Qi Younian's news might be related to these tools?"
