Emperor Hongzhi didn't know what to say for a while.

He immediately smiled: "It's a good day today, and when I saw this workshop today, I am very relieved, Xishan has made a lot of contributions, the prince, the successor, and his life, you know?" ”

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan nodded hurriedly.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled again: "Hey, look at it, this winter, it's cold, and now that the price of cloth has been reduced so much, my heart will be relaxed, and in a few days, let these meritorious students and craftsmen enter the palace, and I want to see them in person." ”

Fang Jifan sighed with emotion: "Your Majesty treats people so leniently, it is really a blessing for the courtiers. ”

Emperor Hongzhi pursed his lips and said to Empress Zhang: "It's not early, we should also go back to the palace." ”

As he spoke, he got into the car and beckoned to Queen Zhang.

Empress Zhang saluted Emperor Hongzhi and said, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can you sit with a woman like a concubine, and the concubine is in the same car with Houzhao and Jifan." ”

"This ......"

In front of Liu Jian and others, Emperor Hongzhi wanted to say something, but he was dumbfounded, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

He got into the car, feeling inexplicably irritable.

Why, lately, Empress Zhang has always been too unfamiliar with herself.

Ay......

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and leaned back on the sofa, at this time he found himself alone, and in this spacious carriage, he couldn't help but feel a little lonely.

He suddenly thought, why didn't Xiao Jing come back? If he comes back, it will be good for me to be angry.

…………

Empress Zhang boarded the bus.

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan obediently rushed in, sitting in rows.

Zhu Houzhao grinned happily at Empress Zhang.

Empress Zhang was full of worries, she raised her eyes, and said to Fang Jifan: "Jifan, last time, Your Majesty complained to you, saying that this palace is just a woman, and it is useless...... Do you remember? ”

Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened, looking like he was lying down.

Fang Jifan immediately said: "Erchen didn't say it, Niangniang, Erchen ......"

Empress Zhang said meaningfully: "Don't justify, although you didn't say these words to the palace, the palace is like a mirror." ”

"Niangniang, you misunderstood, Your Majesty's love for Niangniang is well known, how could Your Majesty say such a thing, there must be some villain here, playing right and wrong in front of Niangniang, son...... Erchen is going to kill him, Niangniang...... You don't want to think about it, how much His Majesty loves Niangniang, if he has such a mind, this is ...... This is unreasonable, Erchen dares to use his own head as a guarantee, this is nothing, or Niangniang must be wrong, I implore Niangniang to be clear. ”

Fang Jifan said sincerely.

Nima, what kind of person is our successor, that is also an upright seven-foot man, and the matter of telling right and wrong, our successor will never do it, and he will not even have such shameful thoughts.

Empress Zhang smiled: "Don't be afraid. ”

Fang Jifan said: "Erchen is by no means afraid, he just speaks up. ”

"Okay, even if you speak up, this palace doesn't want to delve into these things. These days in this palace, it is the female doctor Liang who is driving by the side of this palace, and this palace looks at her concentrating on her learning, sometimes, I really feel envious, and I really ...... She is a woman who does not let her eyebrows, originally, this palace is thinking, even so, this palace will weave and weave cloth, it can be regarded as a ...... Do something for Your Majesty, and also for yourself, find something to do, but now. ”

She looked at Zhu Houzhao eagerly: "Now Houzhao and you have made such a loom, this palace ...... There is nothing to do again. Bengong watched the drama singing 'Who said that women are not as good as men', what was sung in this drama really reached the heart of Bengong. Jifan, Hongu said this, you won't make fun of it, right? ”

Fang Jifan shook his head as if he was rattling: "Where does Erchen dare to make fun of him, Erchen can't admire it in his heart." ”

Empress Zhang sighed and said: "But, what should this palace do, this palace is not young, but you are not old, you have the best idea, you can talk about it." ”

Fang Jifan said embarrassedly: "Niangniang, can you remove the ghost word in front of you?" ”

Empress Zhang smiled slightly: "Seriously." ”

Fang Jifan said: "What Niangniang likes, what to learn, there are thousands of knowledge in this world, all of this requires interest, otherwise, no matter how clever the knowledge is, it is boring to learn, what is the use?" ”

Empress Zhang thoughtfully: "Sure enough, it's right to ask you, it's just ...... I don't know what I'm interested in, so I might as well do it, in a few days, you will send all your knowledge to the palace, and the palace will take a look at it and make a decision. ”

Fang Jifan should be down.

But I couldn't help but think in my heart.

My mother-in-law, this is going to apply for the 'University for the Elderly'.

You see, even the mother-in-law works so hard, and her son is still a bastard all day long, but if he doesn't do it, go home and smoke him.

…………

Now, the cloth merchants of the Manjing Division are all staring at the West Mountain.

Every move of the Xishan cloth industry was enough to strangle them to death.

For the cloth industry, this is enough to be called a change that has not been seen in thousands of years.

In the past month, the vast majority of businessmen have barely cleared the goods they have piled up, although they have not made much profit, but they have barely recovered some losses.

Next, a message came out.

Wang Jinyuan personally posted and invited people to visit the first cotton spinning workshop.

The cloth merchants flocked to it, as if they knew that the time had come to reveal the secret.

Batch after batch of cloth merchants entered the workshop, but they were not allowed to enter the inside of the workshop, only allowed to watch from the outside of the glass window, but even so, the shock brought to them by the first cotton spinning workshop was also extremely shocking.

Then...... The steam loom suddenly became a hit.

The order for this machine has been lined up for almost three years.

……

But this is terrible news for many women workers in the cotton mills.

Because, the cotton spinning workshop, in a month's time, may be closed.

The women workers were talking about it.

Most of them are women who have not left the court, and most of their families are poor, otherwise they would not have been allowed to come out to work.

Compared to staying at home all day, although it is hard work in the cotton spinning workshop, they are extremely satisfied.

After all, the benefits of the cotton spinning workshop are good, the wages are not cheap, and the food and drink are included, and at the end of the month, you can always save four or five taels of silver, which is a great thing for a woman.

With silver, you can subsidize your family, and you will have confidence in your heart.

In addition, a group of female workers live and work together and communicate with each other, which naturally increases a lot of knowledge, and is no longer as cowardly as before.

After duty, there will be a special night class to teach them some simple reading and writing.

It can be said that ...... They don't want to change their days.

But now......

When all kinds of gossip came, most of these girls secretly hid in the corner and shed tears.

Liu Ernu is already in her own position, and she has made mistakes several times.

She seems absent-minded, and there are not a few people like her.

She likes the cotton spinning workshop, if she goes back, anyway, she is at home all day, she also needs to do all kinds of things, not only do things, but her drunken father, if it doesn't go well, she has to beat herself, and she has to scold the money and goods while beating.

own mother...... Not to mention, I only think in my heart that I should marry someone quickly, and even, find a good family, and let myself be small, so that I can get a sum of silver, so that my brother can marry a wife.

In the past, she didn't think that she was very happy when she came here.

So much so that from morning till night, she felt energetic.

If the cotton spinning workshop is really closed, not only will he have to go home, but if he has no income, his father will definitely beat and scold, and I don't know which family my mother has recruited.

I read by myself, and I only learned half of it, and I recognized more than 70 words.

Later...... I can't see these sisters on weekdays anymore.

There are many people like Liu Ernu.

Women who can be sent out to work often have a sad past.

At noon, a female shopkeeper came, and this female shopkeeper was an old woman who specialized in managing the female workers.

The grandmother gathered everyone together and said that something was announced.

At this moment, Liu Ernu felt that something was wrong.

Many female workers also have red circles.

When everyone came, Liu Ernu said: "After receiving the instructions of the shopkeeper Wang, from tomorrow, everyone does not have to come to the duty, in order to dismiss everyone, the cotton spinning workshop will give everyone more than one month's salary, and it will be ...... at night Let's put together a table of good wine and food, and eat it openly, which can be regarded as a farewell ......"

This sentence is like a death sentence for everyone.

When Liu Ernu heard this, she let out a wow, and tears rippled down.

Many female workers also began to sob.

In this shed, there was a sudden cry and chaos.

The female grandmother hissed: "Don't make noise, don't cry first, the old body's words, I haven't finished talking yet, Liu Ernu, Liu Ernu...... What are you crying so loudly for, you come ......"

Liu Ernu barely stopped crying, suddenly lost her energy, and returned to the timid appearance when she first entered the workshop.

The female grandmother said: "Now outside, there are a lot of cotton spinning workshops to start, the weaving machine, has been customized, the land has been bought, just wait to build the workshop, ready to start, but this world, there are a few people can know how to fiddle with this machine, Liu Ernu, you have good skills, and there are a lot of cloth merchants outside, want to hire a female shopkeeper and foreman with a high salary, there is a wishful cloth line, ready to build a workshop, although it has not yet started, but has begun to recruit manpower, but these newly recruited female dolls, know what, therefore, I recommended you to be the foreman, in charge of a steam workshop, up and down, there are more than 20 female workers, waiting for you to teach them to work, this salary, the owner said, it is three times as much as here, you clean up at night, tomorrow morning, will hire a car for you, you go to the workshop first, those female dolls are trained and trained, lest when the workshop starts, something goes wrong. ”

“……”

Liu Ernu opened her eyes wide and ...... herself It's a long worker.
