Chapter 1014
While the industry is booming, craftsmen will also flourish, forming a powerful group second only to scholars in the court and among the people.

The role of these people is not comparable to that of scholars and Confucian scholars who talk about it every day at critical moments. These people have a more practical role.

The first batch of craftsmen with ranks in the imperial court and able to eat the royal salary are bound to be imitated and sought after by future craftsmen, and these sought after craftsmen were born under the rule of Jin Rong...

"There are so many craftsmen in the world? This is equivalent to giving King Yu a huge boost. What's more, the current King Yu has gradually gained followers in the court." Liu Chengzhi said very annoyed.

Li Qinhong sighed secretly, Liu Xiang was so smart all his life, did he only see the threat of King Yu now?

"Dong Weng knows that there are private rumors among the officials of various ministries in the capital that the court without the crown prince and King Fu is much clearer."

Liu Chengzhi nodded slightly, a little annoyed and regretful at the same time.He had also heard these words. King Fu did use his power to cultivate party members and seek money.

However, which prince in which dynasty would be satisfied with the offerings made by the court?If that's the case, what are the many princes fighting for the throne?Just eat the little court salary with peace of mind.

What's more, the salary given by the imperial court to the prince will not be continued intact to his sons and grandsons. With the passage of time, the descendants of the princes of the previous generation and the next generation have lived a life of hardship and completely declined. There are many more.

King Yu seemed to be clean and honest, and he never reached out to the treasury and the government affairs of the court, but that was because he had enough money in his hands, not necessarily how high his character was.

No matter what Prince Fu had done before, they were at least continuing the orthodoxy of the country left by their ancestors.However, King Yu has been willing to degenerate all the time, associates with merchants and craftsmen regardless of decency, and pursues money interests with all his strength.

If someone like King Yu inherits the great power, it is conceivable that the court of the country, the family and the world, the officials and the people will all pursue interests, and the way of sages and sages will be replaced by money.

At that time, what will the heaven and earth be in chaos?Where is the background to make the countries surrender?

Liu Chengzhi frowned tightly. He could almost imagine that the land of heaven, which now dominates the Central Plains and is looked up to by the surrounding countries, is controlled by gangsters.People in the world don't admire the sages and don't delve into the ways of the sages, but like the daughter of the Ye family, they think all day about how to make more money by opportunistically.

People in business have always valued profits over righteousness, and their moral character is the lowest and the most untrustworthy.Such a group of people stood at the top of the celestial dynasty and controlled the world's money.Then, the interests of these aristocratic family members who have been based on farming and reading for a hundred years will inevitably be eroded by the upstarts who master the mechanical path.

The more Liu Chengzhi thought about it, the more serious the situation became, and he said angrily: "Those courtiers are so blinded that they don't understand what kind of disaster King Yu's promotion of business will bring to the court and the world. They are all short-sighted people, so stupid!"

Li Qinhong nodded, "However, most people in the world don't have such a far-sighted vision. King Yu is becoming more and more popular now, and the new farm tools that have been promoted in various places, although they are named as Qijia Machinery Workshop, are also popular among the people. According to rumors, the development and manufacture of agricultural tools was promoted by King Yu. The farmers who benefited will definitely appreciate the convenience that King Yu brought to the people. More importantly, there should be historical records for such a large-scale change of agricultural tools. "

As Li Qinhong said, he sighed. Under such circumstances, even if King Yu could not ascend the throne, his name would still be praised by later generations.

If this situation continues, it will be difficult for King Fu supported by Liu Xiang to seize the throne.Even if he was lucky enough to ascend to the throne in the end, and was reflected by Yu Wangze and the achievements of the people, he would probably be rumored by unofficial history as a contemptuous person who snatched his brother's throne.

Liu Chengzhi couldn't sit still, "No, we can't continue to let King Yu do whatever he wants in the court." King Yu's momentum grew too fast.If this continues, His Royal Highness Fu hiding in the mansion is not keeping a low profile, but raising a tiger.

In the absence of another power to seize the throne, King Yu will only stand out, and more and more ministers will attach to him.Coupled with King Yu's ability to cater to the emperor's various propositions, in the eyes of the emperor, King Yu already has a status that other princes cannot match.

The situation is so severe that King Fu can no longer leave the court.

As an aide who is well aware of Liu Chengzhi's political views, Li Qinhong also felt the same way. He suggested: "It has been two years since the orbital material case. In a few days, it will be the New Year. At the beginning of the new year, the royal ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, the abolition of the crown prince and King Fu will attend the ceremony. King Fu can take this opportunity to express his repentance to His Majesty, and come back as soon as possible."

Liu Chengzhi nodded: "It's exactly what I want. Your Highness's fault is different from that of the prince. I think it has been two years, and the Holy Majesty's anger should have dissipated. If King Fu expresses enough remorse, it will not be difficult to come back."

King Fu left the court for a short time, and King Yu made so many troubles. Although his momentum rose, it also touched the interests of many people.As long as there is a chance, these people will attach themselves to another prince who is capable of aspiring to the throne and who has political disagreements with King Yu.

Those groups whose interests are touched by craftsmen... Liu Chengzhi thought about it, and thought of the Qingliu School, which is praised by scholars.

"It's deplorable that Ji Xiaoyuan was dragged down by that concubine of the Ye family, and now her reputation has plummeted. Otherwise, it would be much better for scholars from all over the world to come forward to ask for orders than for officials such as me to speak hard in front of the emperor."

At that time, Ji Xiaoyuan was a person who was very good at gaining fame. If his reputation was still there, as long as he said a few ambiguous words on a specific occasion, followers would plead for his life.It's just... a pity.

Li Qinhong persuaded: "Dong Weng should go to Fu Wang to discuss first. As long as Fu Wang can come back, even without Ji Xiaoyuan, there will be a lot of scholars in the world. What's more, there are so many aristocratic families, and many people work together. It worked somewhat."

The key is that King Fu appeared in the court again, giving hope to many subordinates.To put it bluntly, it is said that businessmen are after profits, but who in the world does not calculate a lot for their own interests?
As long as King Fu can bring benefits to those people, even if they had no support before, it will not prevent them from assisting King Fu now and jointly overthrowing King Yu and King Yu's propositions.

…………

This time, Jin Rong took on the emperor's errand to settle the affairs of the machinery workshop during the Chinese New Year.He guessed that it was time for Jiang Yifan to go down to the office, so he took Hu Jing grandly to the machinery workshop to do an errand assigned by the emperor.

When Jin Rong and Jiang Yifan got together, they didn't immediately convey the sacred meaning to the craftsmen and masters in the workshop, but occupied the room where Ye Xinyan was working, turned away idlers, and chatted privately together.

With a sarcasm on his face, Jin Rong said disdainfully: "I can see that Liu Chengzhi is impatient. His father's meaning is already obvious, but Liu Chengzhi is still trying to refute it, trying to stop his father from implementing the craftsman rating system."
