Chapter 1237: The Promising Prince

The whole workshop, like a big steamer, will not be long.

Emperor Hongzhi felt that his whole body was soaked.

Liu Jian and others also felt breathless.

But these female workers are shuttling back and forth one by one, or working at their own workstations.

Zhu Houzhao is shirtless, like a firefighting team, sometimes here to help, sometimes there to help.

When the female workers saw him, they were very close, and this closeness was not the kind of deliberate flattery.

Emperor Hongzhi was a little ashamed.

scolded his son all day long, and now he realizes that compared with his son, he is simply different.

Empress Zhang was here for half an hour.

In the end, the eunuch counted them, and there were seventy-seven regiments of thread spun.

If you are an unskilled weaver, you are afraid that there are no two groups, but this machine has increased Queen Zhang's efficiency dozens of times.

Empress Zhang couldn't help but say: "Dare to love so many people in this palace and the palace, I have been working in vain for a month, with such a machine, I don't know how much energy I can save." ”

Every moment of Emperor Hongzhi, it seems to be tormenting.

Finally, I walked out of the workshop.

Fang Jifan and others chased after him.

Emperor Hongzhi's face seemed to be washed with water, and Liu Jian and the others were even more panting.

But then, a cold wind struck, Emperor Hongzhi felt refreshed, and then he said in surprise: "I finally understand, understand why the price of cloth has dropped so much, hahahaha...... It turns out that because of this, this thing is not under the steam locomotive, this steam engine, it is really wonderful, Ji Fan, you say...... This is the prince tossed out? ”

Fang Jifan said: "No." ”

Zhu Houzhao was originally beautiful, just waiting for this compliment.

As soon as he heard Fang Jifan's denial, his face suddenly fell.

Fang Jifan said: "The research of steam locomotives has used countless manpower and material resources, and it is the result of the hard work of thousands of craftsmen, and this steam locomotive, not only on the basis of the predecessors for research, but also thousands of people, these people, all of them forget to sleep and eat, some people, eat and sleep in the institute, although His Royal Highness the Prince, is the leader, with the craftsmen to preside over this matter, it can be said that it is indispensable, but if it is only the prince tossed out, the sons are more upright, and they are not afraid of offending His Royal Highness the Prince, so they can only answer Your Majesty, It was made by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and countless people, working together. ”

Zhu Houzhao's face softened a little.

Lao Fang is still very conscientious.

What is the ...... Zhu Houzhao couldn't find a thorn.

After all, Zhu Houzhao and those students and craftsmen forgot to sleep and eat, and they still had a lot of friendship with each other, and there was nothing wrong with Fang Jifan asking for credit for them.

Emperor Hongzhi's brows furrowed: "I understand, you want me to reward these students and craftsmen." ”

Fang Jifan said: "They don't need His Majesty's reward. ”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned again.

Fang Jifan said: "The treatment that should be given to them, Xishan has already given it." They don't want any fame and fortune, they just want the court to take them seriously. The world's talents, in the eyes of Erchen, are not just scholars who make eight shares, Erchen said politely, they can only make eight shares, but they are just a group of wine bags and rice bags. ”

Emperor Hongji: "......"

Liu Jian is a few, his face is bloodshot, he is so dignified, you scold?

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Look, Your Majesty, Xishan has raised a lot of wine bags and rice bags that can only make eight shares, and luckily won some jinshi and lifting people......

Liu Jian found that he had no temper at all.

Others didn't dare to scold Jinshi and lift people, but Fang Jifan was qualified.

If you are not convinced, you can compare it with his disciples, whose eight-strand essay is good.

If you can't even win the eight-share test, what qualifications do you have to refute it.

Fang Jifan said: "What is really beneficial to the country and the people is neither businessmen, nor scholars, nor craftsmen, but in the eyes of the sons, any line of work, as long as it is done well, it has a huge contribution, and they are all sages, just like Tuntianwei studies farming, and some students and craftsmen of Xishan Academy study machinery, they are not superior or inferior compared with scholars." ”

Zhu Houzhao also said excitedly: "Yes, Erchen also thinks so. ”

Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back, he heard what Fang Jifan meant, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, many things, easy to say, how can I not know, the eight shares of the scholars, there are many drawbacks, but today, the gentry are all teaching their children the eight shares ......"

He didn't continue, but glanced at Liu Jian and the others.

Everyone understands Emperor Hongji's thoughts.

If the Ming Dynasty wants to be stable, it must have its own ruling foundation, at least for now, in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, ninety percent of the prefectures and counties, there are still these gentry, if it loses the support of these gentry, can the world still be stable?

Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile: "However, these students and craftsmen, I really want to see them, they are all meritorious heroes." ”

Emperor Hongzhi said, glancing at Zhu Houzhao with relief.

I misunderstood this kid before, and I was tired of being in the workshop all day long, so I had other plans.

Only now did I know that it turned out to be ...... This guy and people have come up with such a thing, and he produces cloth every day.

"With such a machine, why shouldn't the country prosper? One workshop can produce 100,000 horses a month, so if there are ten, what about 100? Emperor Hongzhi seemed very emotional: "I am Ming, where is the lack of silver, this silver...... It's just an iron lump, dug out of the ground, not to mention, in this world, there are Daming treasure banknotes and Xishan Qianzhuang's silver tickets, all of which are just a piece of paper, whether this paper has value or not, not in what is printed on it, but in the market, whether there are so many things that can be exchanged. ”

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Such a workshop, Xishan should build more ......"

Fang Jifan shook his head: "Your Majesty, Xishan...... I'm afraid I can't build more. ”

"Huh?"

Fang Jifan said: "Erchen plans to set up a Xishan Machinery Workshop with His Majesty, not to buy and sell cloth, but to sell these steam looms, only let the world's businessmen, aware of the power of this thing, they feel that it is profitable, they will customize one after another, at that time, there is no need for Xishan to do it, these hundreds of workshops will also be built." ”

Emperor Hongzhi thoughtfully: "This ...... It's also a good way to do it. But ......"

Emperor Hongzhi realized a problem: "In this way, ordinary people can no longer weave cloth in the future?" ”

Men plough and women weave, this is a habit that has been passed down for thousands of years.

The men went out to plow the fields, while the women hid in their homes, sewing and mending for their homes, or weaving.

Therefore, in this generation, for women's talents, the first thing is female red, because women understand female red, and marry their husbands in the future, so that they can add clothes to the family, and even through sewing and weaving, they can earn some scattered silver to subsidize the family without leaving home.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't know this.

But now it seems...... I'm afraid this road won't work.

With such a machine and such labor-saving production, how can this private weaving compete with these machines.

Fang Jifan said: "Women can come out to work." At present, all industries are waiting to be lifted, and the most lacking is labor. ”

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but reprimand: "Nonsense, isn't this going upside down, these words, you can just say a few words of nonsense in front of me, and you must not talk nonsense outside." ”

Fang Jifan said very seriously: "Your Majesty, why can't women do things, Erchen thinks that men can do things, women can also do things, and they are better than men, you see that all the workers in this workshop are women, their efficiency and ability are much better than the vast majority of people, Your Majesty, whether it is a man or a woman, they are all Your Majesty's children, how can Your Majesty favor one over the other." ”

Liu Jian and the others rolled their eyes.

This guy ...... It's here again.

Emperor Hongzhi blew his beard and glared, although he was very happy today, but he felt that Fang Jifan's words would cause disaster to this kid, so he said sharply: "All in all, don't talk nonsense, it's good for a woman to stay at home." ”

The emperor is so unreasonable.

"Heh......"

A chuckle.

When Emperor Hongzhi heard the laughter, he realized something, and the corner of his eye glanced at the owner of the laughter.

Queen Zhang's mouth was slightly hooked and smiling, but there was a sense of fun in her eyes.

Emperor Hongji: "......"

Empress Zhang was a little annoyed.

In front of the palace, His Majesty said that the palace is useless, well, it's useless, and now in front of the successor, what kind of woman is just to stay, and the horizontal and vertical are all despised themselves.

Empress Zhang straightened her sideburns and said with a smile: "Yes, when I was weaving in this palace, I felt that it was only half an hour, but it was extremely hard, but the women in these workshops were from morning to night, and the palace really admired them, if they were useless, Your Majesty, the concubines would never dare to agree." This woman, as long as she obeys the three obedience and four virtues, keeps to herself, and has difficulties at home, it is not impossible to come out to seek some errands. Your Majesty, don't you see that the female medical officers in the palace are doing a good job? Especially the female doctor of Naliang, I heard that she studied herself in the palace, wrote papers, and went to journals, how many people in this world can be like her. If she is gone, I am only afraid of the Queen Mother...... His life was in jeopardy. ”

"The concubines have nothing to say to Your Majesty, but they just feel that Your Majesty regards these women who came out to make a mess as unchaste, which is really inappropriate, could it be that Doctor Liang did something wrong? Are these women who spin cotton in the workshop...... Just because they came out to work, they became upside down? What a little bit of a matter, Your Majesty is serious. ”

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Empress Zhang looked at Emperor Hongzhi pitifully.

Emperor Hongzhi's old face was flushed, his eyes began to look around, and he hesitated: "This ...... This ......"

…………

The third more, there is.
