I am the king of the dead

Chapter 643 Eighty Spinning Wheels

The reason why Zhu Qiyu didn’t fish himself was because he was afraid that the fish would run away. He had too many times in the air force. This was not a technical reason (exactly) but because he was the emperor. If you can't get it, it's better to let Wang Ao fight it.

In fact, Wang Ao has been doing very well, doing his best in the fight against corruption.

The anti-corruption and anti-corruption efforts need to be coordinated with the campaign to eradicate crime and evil, and the effect will be better.

Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian went to Qin Tianjian. The Ten Great Calendar Bureaus brought Zhu Qiyu a lot of surprises. They even made soil and chemical fertilizers, that is, composting cow dung or using human urine. It was ammonia fertilizer, and the effect was about Equivalent to ammonia.

Going to the Qin Tianjian is a disguise. As the emperor, he often goes to the Qin Tianjian for inspection. The Qin Tianjian is just opposite the Gongyuan, so it is very reasonable for him to appear near the Gongyuan.

Zhu Qiyu said as he walked: "I heard that even the total fees of the two Zhejiang merchants should be used as a reference. Didn't he abandon Confucianism and go into business? This is back again?"

As the emperor, he knows the movements of a businessman. The main reason is that Fei Yiying's help to Yuan Bin, Yue Qian and others in Wa Kingdom cannot be ignored. Officials are also needed.

In particular, merchants are better at how to treat Japanese people like cattle and horses.

The literati of the Ming Dynasty were unwilling to go to a barbaric place like the Wa country, and only profit-seeking businessmen would go there.

Fei Yeying, as the General Chamber of Commerce of the Huaihe River and Huaihe River, made explorations in jointly going to sea with the imperial court and gaining benefits for the Ming Dynasty, and achieved phased results.

Therefore, after Fei Yiying was imprisoned, Zhu Qiyu forgave him because of his contribution to Daming. Of course, Fei Yiying's business of splitting the shares of Merchant Shipping and subscribed for funds was not a crime in essence, let alone violated Daming. law.

Zhu Qiyu knew that Fei Yiying had entered Beijing, but he didn't know much about his situation. He didn't know that Fei Yiying had been abandoned by Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong, and that both the Patriarch and the Shang Zong had lost their positions.

Yu Qian knew very well, and gave a brief overview of Fei Yiying's situation.

"It's probably because Fei Yiying figured out what he wants to get fame this time. Otherwise, at this time, Fei Yiying should start anew in Zhejiang instead of taking the exam in the capital." Yu Qian said in a rare way for Fei Yiying A good word.

Wang Ao listened quietly, this was a conversation between the emperor and the minister of humerus, how could he have the opportunity to hear this in the past?

You can't hear it even if you spend money.

Zhu Qiyu nodded, Fei Yiying really wanted to start a new business, it was not difficult, even without the support of Duke Wei, Fei Yiying was still a very smart businessman.

If you are afraid of embarrassing Wei Guogong and Henglin Fei, you can go to Guangdong.

The Guangzhou Shipping Department is in the ascendant, and Fei Yiying will go to the Guangzhou Shipping Department to develop. There is a lot to do, so he splits the shares and subscribes for the funds. Zhu Qiyu also believes that Fei Yiying can get up.

But Fei Yiying still came to the capital and took part in the imperial examination.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the Hanlin and Tai students coming in and out of the Guozijian and the Hanlin Academy, and said helplessly: "I found out that the Guozijian is a fish nest because I wanted to learn about the operation of the Gongyuan and pay attention to the election of the Ming Dynasty." You get a scholar, but when you look at it, you can see the luxurious houses in these three streets."

"I have been staring at this fish nest for a long time, and I even asked Xing'an to send someone to buy a house. Unfortunately, they are not qualified."

Not qualified, because buying a house here requires social status, specifically, at least above the fourth rank of Tingwenwu, or the World Lord of Wuxun.

Zhu Qiyu really came to observe the people's sentiments, and it was a surprise to find the fish nest.

Yu Qian shook his head and said: "I haven't paid attention to this matter, and the broker comprador will not ask me to buy the house here."

The broker comprador went to Jiuzhongtang to buy Yu Shaobao, which was almost equivalent to standing in front of the Zhenfusi Yamen, shouting that he wanted to assassinate the king!
"The family affairs of the Ming Dynasty are managed by the clan of the Ming Dynasty. Because the vassal king is the vassal, the functions of this family affairs are gradually transferred to the Ministry of Rites. Now that the vassal king returns to Beijing, the affairs of the family affairs are gradually restored. I am thinking about it. Shouldn't Spyjue be taken care of together?" Zhu Qiyu mentioned a possibility.

It was Zhu Qiyu's consideration to bring Spyker into the management of the clan's mansion. Daming did not have an institution dedicated to managing Spyker, so Spyker's education reflected the unevenness of the world.

Zhang Mao, the youngest son of the British public Zhang Fu, entered the lecture hall at the age of nine, graduated with excellent grades in three years, went to Kaiping to guard the border at the age of 15, and started to fight in the battlefield at the age of 16. The list of Shi Heng's suppression of bandits in Daningwei was obtained by Zhang Mao who went deep into the captive camp to investigate the enemy's situation.

But on the other hand, Huichang uncle's house, the queen mother's relatives, conspired to rebel, and ended up beheaded. Yang Hong's eldest son, Yang Jie, inherited Changping Marquis by virtue of his father's preference, and was also deprived of his title and returned it to Yang Jun. .

This is not surprising.

The Hongxi, Xuande, and Zhengtong dynasties had a looser political environment, and the emperor was more tolerant of his relatives. If a minister commits a general fault, he may be dismissed from his residence and reduced his salary, but he still retains his title. Reckless, daring.

Strong disobedience to the etiquette of no one's ministers, and repeated treachery and profiteering, this is the current status of the Great Ming Wuxun.

The Clan Mansion is gradually improving its functions, from simply managing the history of the palace and other matters, to revising and compiling the Jade Document, which has added many functions.

Die Zhaomu, Xu Juelu, Li faction, apply for teaching and commandments, discuss rewards and punishments, preface records of children and concubines, birth and death, marriage, official titles, names and posthumous titles; check the order of succession, rank and salary, etc. .

With so many functions, it is natural to add hall officials and subordinate officials.

As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qiyu was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the Clan Mansion was the institution that managed the clan of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Qiyu did his part to make the Zongren Order, which was the highest-ranking official of the Ming Clan Mansion.

"I think it's very kind." Yu Qian knew very well about the recent expansion of the clan mansion, because Yu Qian and the affairs of the clan mansion and Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao's office were in an attic.

The crime rate of the great Ming relatives continued to rise, and some relatives did those things, which really degraded the status of the nobles of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, Cao Zhen, Bo Fengrun, Shen Yu, Bo Xiuwu, and Chen Huan, Marquis of Taining, tolerated adultery and mixed monks and prostitutes to drink alcohol.

Zhu Qiyu originally thought it was a misbehavior after drinking, so he was sentenced to a fine of one year's salary, and he was not allowed to take office. As a result, Lu Zhong went to find out, and then he realized that it was not as simple as mixing monks and prostitutes drinking alcohol.

The matter is more complicated. To put it simply, under the auspices of the monks, these three people gathered nearly a hundred people and held an open meeting similar to the feast of the sea and sky in later generations. Shi caught it straight.

Zhu Qiyu changed his sentence to dismiss the three men, their sons inherited the title, and the three guards of Jiaozhi were garrisoned far away.

Although the Ming Dynasty lost Jiaozhi, it still retained the Jiaozhi organization, and there were still three guards stationed near the ten-story mountain of Jiaozhi. The Jiaozhi Li Dynasty attacked the Sanwei Office for more than ten years. Unable to succeed for various reasons.

Therefore, bringing the nobles into the management of the clan's mansion is Zhu Qiyu's attempt to manage the nobles of the Ming Dynasty.

At least not to let them lose the face of Daming Xungui like this.

"His Majesty is here!" Xing'an shook his whisk and shouted loudly.

Zhu Qiyu walked into the top ten calendar bureaus, and saw Qin Tianjian Xu Dun, Tianwen Sheng Bei Lin and others had been waiting for a long time.

Xu Dun led more than a dozen officials and dozens of officials from Qintianjian to greet him with a big ceremony.

"Your Majesty, I will pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty." Xu Dun and the others were very considerate in their etiquette.

Today is the day of presenting auspiciousness, so it must be solemn, and Xu Dun has applied for a miracle card, hoping His Majesty will grant it, so he is very serious.

Even though Xu Dun didn't own this marvelous merit card, according to the fact that the emperor of Ming Dynasty used to spend a lot of money, it is not a problem for everyone in the Qin Tianjian to get one grand merit card.

"Excuse me, it seems that Xu Jian is bound to win. I just walked in the door and erected me?" Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand full of smiles, motioning for everyone to get down.

Xu Dun bowed his head and said, "I dare not."

"What are you going to offer today? Such a big battle?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Qin Tianjian, who was wearing red ribbons, and even the auspiciousness to be presented was covered with red silk cloth.

Xu Dun straightened his tone, and said in a melodious manner: "The Yellow Emperor rises up to rule the world, and the Queen Mother multiplies the gift ring, but once it reaches the court, it will be honored in the eternal book, and I will honor your majesty with respect. Ling, God bless Daming, get this fetish!"

"The ministers congratulate His Majesty."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Xu Dun's serious appearance, shook his head and said, "Stop flattering, you invented and created this thing, and I just paid for it. What exactly is it? It's so mysterious and tempting."

"Your Majesty, please follow me." Xu Dun actually prepared a lot of words, but seeing that His Majesty didn't like to listen, he stopped abruptly and led His Majesty and his party into the courtyard.

"Before taking off the red silk, Rong Chen said a few words." Xu Dun repeated his tone, but this time it was no longer a compliment, but a story of auspiciousness under the red cloth.

Just like later generations of start-up companies seeking investment everywhere need to tell a good story, the auspiciousness that Xu Dun wants to present naturally also has a story.

"Zhan Zhongnuo is from Songjiang Mansion and a spinner. When Jingtai returned home on July [-]th of the fifth year, Zhan Zhongnuo kicked over his wife's spinning wheel. After being kicked over, the spinning wheel fell to the ground. But the spinning wheel is still turning, only the spindle has become upright."

"Zhan Zhongnuo had an idea, arranged several spindles vertically and driven by a spinning wheel, wouldn't it be possible to spin more yarn?"

Inexplicably, Zhu Qiyu felt that this story was very familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he understood the incongruity in this story, and that was the accident that Zhan Zhongnuo kicked over the spinning wheel.

Many inventions like to be called accidents. For example, the discovery of penicillin and the manufacturing process of stainless steel are all accidental appearances.

Obviously, the entire Ming Dynasty was working on the improvement of the spinning wheel, and Xu Dun made such a solemn dedication. It must have been improved repeatedly, and it was definitely not an accident.

Xu Dun said with a serious face: "Many weavers in handcraft workshops have felt the panic brought about by this new machine with eight spindles. Zhan Zhongnuo spins as much yarn as others spin in eight days. In some workshop owners Under the instructions of the director, some textile households broke into Zhan Zhongnuo's house and destroyed Zhan Zhongnuo's spinning wheel."

There are villains in any story.

It's just that Xu Dun didn't attribute the blame for destroying the spinning wheel to the instigated and blind textile farmers, but to the workshop owners who encouraged them.

This is a typical narrative style of the Jingtai period. The appearance of scabs, is it the scabs themselves, or are they instigated by others?

Your Majesty always observes the sentiments of the people and understands it very well.

Bullying the emperor is a serious crime of beheading.

Moreover, it involves the major event of the Qigong card. Any remarks that cause His Majesty's displeasure may cause disturbances in the spinning wheel's application for the Qigong card.

Xu Dun looked a little relaxed, and continued: "Zhan Zhongnuo took his wife and children and defected to the Carpenter City. Li Binyan, governor of Songjiang, was very interested in this spinning wheel with eight vertical spindles. The craftsmen of the Carpenter City gathered together. Improved spinning wheel."

"Then there were still some problems with the spinning wheel, such as the short service life, the small number of spindles, and the inability to mass-produce, etc. Therefore, Zhan Zhongnuo brought the improved spinning wheel to the top ten calendar bureaus to ask for help."

"After more than half a year, this spinning wheel has become what it is now."

After Xu Dun finished speaking, he pulled away the red silk cloth, and a spinning wheel with [-] spindles appeared in front of everyone. Zhan Zhongnuo shook the handle to make the spinning wheel run stably.

Everyone in Daming knows that His Majesty, the ninth-five-year-old, does not do business, but likes strange skills and ingenuity.

If there is something good on the top, it will be great on the bottom.

As His Majesty who is admired by hundreds of millions, there are people who follow his heart, and the craftsmen of Daming are also trying their best to satisfy His Majesty's hobbies in this aspect, just like the whole people fighting crickets during the Xuande period.

Zhu Qiyu watched the spinning wheel with great interest.

In order to demonstrate the efficiency of the spinning wheel, Xu Dun also specially invited a Xiu Niang to use a unicycle spinning wheel for comparison.

The results are clear at a glance.

After the appearance of spring steel, Daming finally had a flying shuttle, a shuttle with springs at both ends, which greatly improved the efficiency of weaving, and the corresponding increase in weaving efficiency stimulated the demand for cotton yarn.

In Songjiang Prefecture, a place where cotton spinning gathers, it is difficult to find a single spindle of cotton yarn. While the price of cotton yarn has soared, it means that the price of cotton cloth has increased. The popularity of shuttles has not caused the cost of cotton cloth to drop significantly.

The appearance of this spinning car with [-] spindles was not accidental, let alone accidental.

Songjiang Mansion is the place where the cotton spinning of the Ming Dynasty gathers. There are the most textile households and spinning wheels there, and the Craftsman City, as Li Binyan's important achievements in Songjiang Mansion, also played a key role.

"What do you think, Your Majesty?" Xu Dun asked nervously.

After the story was told, the results were also demonstrated and compared. Whether Xu Dun's miraculous card could be included in the Qin Tianjian depends on His Majesty's choice.

Extraordinary merit cards are extremely precious, especially those other than military merit cards, so most people no longer ask individuals to obtain extraordinary merit cards. As long as the person who holds the extraordinary merit card is in their job, it is something worth showing off. something happened.

"Okay, very good, very good!" Zhu Qiyu said happily: "Xing'an, take the imperial edict, I want to use the seal, and I have agreed to the miracle card I asked for."

The appearance of the [-]-spindle spinning wheel means the vigorous development of the cotton yarn industry in Daming, and the development of the cotton yarn industry will greatly stimulate the planting of cotton. Daming has no land to grow cotton.

Where do you grow cotton?
You can do it in the Western Regions, you can do it in Jilong Island, and you can do it in almost unlimited overseas lands.

Cotton cloth, besides silk, porcelain, and tea from the Ming Dynasty, is another powerful tool for harvesting trade gaps.

The appearance of the flying shuttle and the eighty-spindle spinning wheel facilitated the opening of the sea in the Great Ming Dynasty.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!" Lu Zhong seemed to have seen something within Zhu Qiyu's three steps. He swooped in front of the emperor, Tiqi heard the wind and moved, and a wall of people appeared in front of Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu used up Jingtai's treasure before passing through the human wall, and saw that Xiuniang was holding a hairpin with a dazed expression on her face.

Xiuniang came to assassinate the emperor, but just after pulling out the hairpin, a human wall had appeared, and Xiuniang froze in place on the spot.

Xing'an, Lu Zhong, Yu Qian and others were all within three steps of the emperor, and within ten steps were the three Tiqi, and ten steps away was where Xiu Niang was standing.

"What's your name?" Zhu Qiyu pushed aside the crowd and looked at the hairpin. It was a very ordinary hairpin, not a dagger that looked like a hairpin.

　Ask for a monthly ticket, woohoo! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
