Chapter 1027 The image of Ming Jun in the prosperous age

The emperor planned to see how Jin Rong would deal with this matter.

The emperor still remembered that after offering sacrifices to heaven on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jin Kun and Jin Yi successively asked to see each other.They all sincerely expressed their remorse, and wanted to share the worries for the country again, for him as a father.

That is to say, the vacant position of Crown Prince is still attractive to Jin Yi and King Fu.This kind of temptation is so strong that his two sons have only been in meditation for two years, and they can't bear their temper and are eager to jump out.

Both Jin Kun and Jin Yi have said before that Jin Rong has lived at ease outside for more than [-] years, earning personal wealth for himself, and the two of them started to serve the country when they were teenagers.

Of course, this statement of sharing the country's worries is just talking to those who don't know.In fact, who benefits more, both father and son know in their hearts.

The problem is that Jin Kun and the others didn't know each other well, and Jin Rong is not as harmless as they said.

In fact, according to what Jin Rong himself said, he wanted to be an emperor since he was young, and he was even younger and more mature than Jin Kun and Jin Yi.He didn't spend more than 20 years at ease, but endured it for 20 years.

In the past 20 years, he watched the crown prince sit firmly on the crown prince position, watched Jin Yi enter politics early, his power gradually grew, and he had the ability to compete with the crown prince.

Even so, if he, the old man, hadn't called him back from Yuyuan County and forced him to participate in political affairs, I'm afraid this kid is still planning secretly, gathering contacts and supporters, hoping to take action at the most critical moment and win The throne he had been planning for since he was a child.

On the other hand, Jin Kun and Jin Yi, with their patience alone, they cannot be compared with Jin Rong.

Jinrong had quite a few supporters before, and after several years of operation, it has indeed attracted many supporters.

The emperor wanted to see what action he would take on the controversial matter of industrial development, which was also Jin Rong's own proposition.

It is useless for the Ministry of Industry to go to Qijia Machinery Workshop to contact the blower.The manager of the workshop, Qiu Runsheng, had already brought the materials and came to the Yamen to apply for a patent.

The emperor said before that Ye Xinyan was asked to prepare the account books of the entire research and development process, and the imperial court would purchase the steam engine patent at the price of two and a half times the cost of research and development.

But when it came time for the actual operation, probably in order to avoid someone taking the opportunity to plunder in the future, the emperor did not let the court officials do this.

Fortunately, Ye Xinyan was not unscrupulous, and gave the imperial court the patent rights of the steam engine and blower at a relatively reasonable price.

Even though the price seemed reasonable to Ye Xinyan, once it was announced, it caused a worldwide uproar.

Although the steam engine is rare, its ingenious conception can be regarded as the first of its kind in history.

However, there are too many exquisite artifacts and fortifications with great effects in the past dynasties.In the end, either the ingenuity was obliterated by history, leaving only a few splashes, or the credit is all on the heads of the officials in charge.I have never seen any benefit that can fall on the head of private workshops.

The steam engine is exquisite, and after all, it is made by the hands of craftsmen.This thing can be sold to the imperial court, and it can be sold at such a high price.With such a huge profit, does this business really have great potential and a bright future?
Then, the steam engine purchased by the imperial court at a high price was not hidden in the workshop under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, but was limited to official use, but the technology was made public.

In the open space outside the yamen of the capital, the structural principles of the steam engine, and related parts and components, such as drawings and documents, are all posted on the bulletin board outside the yamen.

For a while, the craftsmen who went to watch, like moths to the flame, rushed towards the yamen one after another.

There were so many people coming and going, it had to be maintained by the servants of the yamen and the soldiers of the five city soldiers and horses, so that there would be no stampede and chaos caused by overcrowding.

There is a saying in ancient times, which is called: laymen and laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the way.Many of the people who came to watch were here to join in the fun, but there were also many craftsmen who came to see the doorway and understand it.

Following the explanations of the supervisors in front of the bulletin board, the whole picture of the steam engine was displayed in front of the craftsmen.Comparing to the ingenuity and eccentricity of the steam engine, what subverts the cognition of craftsmen is the move of the technology of the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court.

Craftsmen have always believed in a saying: teach the apprentice, starve the master to death.

Craftsmanship has a long history, starting from the rumored patriarch who founded the sect, and it has been passed down to this day, and it has been thousands of years.However, there has never been anyone who can publicize the rare and profound skills in the world.

Although the ownership of the steam engine is in the hands of the imperial court, showing such skills in front of the craftsmen will open the eyes of the craftsmen, and at the same time, it may also make any craftsman happy, so that he can figure out other clever artifacts. .

This kind of opportunity could not be stolen in the past.

The official who explained the steam engine pointed to another notice and continued to explain: Anyone who needs steam engine technology and expands the use of steam engines, no matter artisans or rich people, can come to the relevant yamen for consultation.The imperial court will authorize the use of steam engines at a preferential price.

The entire street in front of Jingzhao Mansion was bustling and crowded for more than half a month before gradually calming down.Among them, more than [-]% were spectators.

It is these more than [-]% of the people watching the excitement, who spread the wonders of the steam engine they heard.

At the same time, another piece of news added fuel to the flames, making the craftsman's worth soaring.There has been definite news that the imperial court is about to grade the first batch of high-skilled craftsmen.The craftsmen who have been rated will be able to eat imperial food later.

The popular discussion of these news is just a subconscious gossip mentality.The treatment of craftsmen has nothing to do with us ordinary people.

In recent years, the wages of craftsmen have indeed increased, but those who have actually benefited are limited to the craftsmen who work in Qi's workshop.As for the craftsmen in other places, there are only three melons and two dates more than before, not much different from the past.

So these heated discussions are not tendentious.

But the officialdom and stakeholders are different. Even the students of the Imperial College dislike the recent popularity of craftsmen and craftsman workshops.These trends will make their hard work lose their nobility.

No matter what people think in their hearts, at least on the bright side, especially in the eyes of many passionate young students: chasing money has always been despised.

Therefore, in terms of the quality of pursuing interests, people who do business and buy noodles will never be able to be admired by people.

Not to mention, rough people who make a living by working with their hands.The oil stains on their hands and the mud on their bodies may not be washed clean in their lifetime, so what qualifications do they have to be elegant?

As a result, all kinds of people's exhortations flew into the palace like snowflakes, all of which were to discourage the emperor from following the way of the sage, and not to disturb the rules and regulations since ancient times.

The emperor still had Li Mian in his hand, and all the leaflets like snowflakes were handed over to Li Mian, ready to make trouble at any time.Therefore, the emperor himself was not much nervous.

While the emperor was waiting, people in the capital began to spread the word that the development of special power machines was by no means the work of craftsmen.The popularization of steam engines and the expansion of industrialization have brought innumerable benefits to the people's livelihood.

According to such rumors, Emperor Qianqing of the current dynasty, under the tremendous pressure of various aristocratic families and scholars who had an absolute advantage in the court, still insisted on putting the people first, and tried his best to seek more prosperity and well-being for the people.

Thinking of the drastic reduction in labor requisition in recent years, thinking of the current prosperity of the capital, and how much easier it is for the common people to make a living under this prosperity...

Then think of the people who travel to and from all over the place, how many people have been saved from the hardship of military service by the fast rail transportation route.

The image of Emperor Qianqing as a prosperous and wise monarch quietly rose in the hearts of the people.
