Chapter 972

Jiang Yifan obviously understood the key points of the matter. In this feudal society of the monarchy, it is extremely difficult to advance something without interruption.

Perhaps during the reign of this monarch, the policy that was very interesting will be completely overthrown by the next monarch because of certain personal concepts and intentions, and then it will never be seen again.

Just like the well-developed maritime industry in the Ming Dynasty.Several monarchs of the Ming Dynasty kept banning the sea according to their own cognition and preferences, and then reopened it for some reason.After that, enable and disable again.There is absolutely no opportunity for the maritime industry to develop further, or even to expand into mainstream trade.

The same goes for steam engines.Many people believe that the reason why Western industry was able to develop vigorously at that time was due to the charm of capital operation, and capital was in the hands of capitalists.The pursuit of money and profits allowed the industrial revolution to continue to develop and expand, allowing Western countries to stand at the top of the world.

Seeing Jiang Yifan's frown gradually, Ye Xinyan continued: "So, what you and His Royal Highness King Yu once said, it should be impossible to attribute the machinery workshop to the imperial court. Even this kind of research and development of machinery There should be many workshops, which are in the hands of different big families. In this way, driven by interests, industry and machinery can develop uninterruptedly. Relying on imperial power and the court to develop capital and industry is simply a joke.”

After hearing Ye Xinyan's words, Jiang Yifan's eyes flickered uncontrollably, and he gradually fell into deep thought.

Ye Xinyan didn't bother him either. The concept of capital and private ownership is difficult for an ancient person to accept immediately. He probably needs time to think about it seriously.

Moreover, in the feudal dynasty of the monarchy, it is very taboo to accumulate a large amount of assets in private hands. Too strong financial resources will endanger the imperial power.These are all factors that restrict the operation of industry and capital. As for how to solve it... with Ye Xinyan's mind, she can't think of a way.It can only be left to scheming people like Jiang Yifan and Jin Rong to think about it.

Maybe Jin Rong will put aside the imperial power for the sake of the righteousness of the clan, develop industry first, and then think of ways to restrict it?

Jiang Yifan thought about it for a while, and then took out a pen and paper to write. From time to time, he would scribble and modify.

Ye Xinyan was very curious about what he was doing, so she poked her head around and looked in admiration.This guy is actually writing about the booming development of various industries and the concentration of wealth in the hands of big families, the impact on the regime, and the imperial court's restrictions on it.

It has to be said that intelligent people of any era should not be underestimated.What Jiang Yifan wrote has a rough meaning of political economy.

If from this time on, someone in the imperial court focused on economic development and the relationship between politics and the economy, they might discover the benefits of controlling and regulating the economy to the regime.The subsequent social development process may really be different.

Jiang Yifan didn't put away his pen and ink until he was about to go to bed, and carefully rolled up Wang Qiao's drawing, and asked Ye Xinyan, "I have to talk to Your Highness about this matter, what do you mean, Ayan, okay?" no?"

"What are you talking about? A steam engine, or a private company?" Ye Xinyan's eyes turned unfriendly immediately.Fortunately for the private sector, isn't it too early for the steam engine?

The emperor said that this thing, regardless of whether the patent law has been introduced or not, must be guaranteed to her.If the principle of the steam engine is leaked out at this time, the ingenuity of the ancients is not covered up. Maybe with the collective efforts of the crowd, they can make the real thing one step earlier than Wang Qiao.

When the time comes, who will she turn to for reasoning?

Jiang Yifan laughed when he saw her attitude, rubbed her hairpin which had already been removed, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking? We also have a share in the machinery workshop. As a husband, how can I let others be greedy?" Besides, who would dare?" With the fighting power of his wife, no one would dare to reach out.

"Then what are you going to say?"

Jiang Yifan said sternly: "Of course they say it all. Without the steam engine and its wide application, how can I talk about private and capital? I have no position at all, okay?"

His words caused Ye Xinyan to roll her eyes warningly: "If my things are leaked...you and Jin Rong can decide the consequences for themselves!" It seemed that she really had no way to punish her.

…………

Jiang Yifan and his wife were talking about such a big event as the steam engine, but the Qi family was talking about something else.

Qi Younian sent Ye Xinyan and his wife out of the house, and watched the carriage leave with a sad expression on his face.

Nanny Liu was the first to notice that Qi Younian's complexion was not right, as if there was something hard to say.She asked in a low voice, "Is something wrong, old man?"

Nanny Jin and the two younger children of the Qi family also came out to see Ye Xinyan off.One sentence from Nanny Liu attracted the attention of others, and Qi Qi looked at Qi Younian.

Qi Younian patted Qi Jiaer's head, "It's getting late, you and your cousin go to wash and sleep, and tomorrow you have to practice and go to school. You can't do without sleep."

Turning around, she said to Liu Momo and Jin Momo: "There is something, I'm planning to talk to you."

Qi Jiaer was still a little suspicious, and didn't want to leave, but was forcibly pulled away by Qi Sanshun.

Qi Younian returned to the living room and motioned for Mammy Liu to sit down. Seeing that the two refused to force her, she sat down by herself and said, "When we were in Yuanzhou, Aqiao mentioned that his wife was pregnant. Mrs. Zhou Jialiang was worried about her daughter, and urged Aqiao and the two to send Aqiao's wife back to the capital to wait for delivery when the baby is stable."

Qi Younian said, looked at Nanny Jin, and said, "Ye Zi is several years older than Aqiao's wife. It's been almost a year since we got married, why is there still no movement? I didn't mention this today, because I was afraid that Ye Zi would be shocked if I said it. It's uncomfortable. It's really hard for me, an old man, to open my mouth about this kind of thing, so I'd better pay more attention to it in the future."

Speaking of this, Qi Younian was really a little worried.For a woman of Ye Xinyan's age, it is not an exaggeration to say that she has many children, but she has no children.If the Jiang family is in a hurry, arrange a concubine room for Jiang Yifan or something?As far as my granddaughter's temper is concerned, life will not be easy.

Jin Momo immediately got into trouble: "Don't say that the old man is in a hurry, the servant is also in a hurry. But every time the servant mentions it, the eldest lady doesn't care, and says to let nature take its course. Then she fully agrees that she must pay attention to diet and rest. The servant It’s true that there’s nothing you can do about it.”

Nanny Liu is very comfortable working in the Qi family now. Although the Qi family is not a high-ranking official, but with the support of the eldest lady and the care of the prince, it can be regarded as a decent family.

These are nothing, the important thing is that the old man and eldest son of her family are both in charge of the Qi family now, which is also decent.The youngest son works with Wang Qiao, and Wang Qiao values ​​him very much, needless to say about his future.

The honor and disgrace of her family is closely related to Ye Xinyan, so of course she hopes Ye Xinyan will be well.Seeing that Nanny Jin and Qi Younian were in trouble, she said, "Why don't Nanny Jin talk to Mrs. Hou Fu?"

Nanny Jin only hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "It's fine, I'll go to see my wife tomorrow. I thought before that it's not easy for my wife now, so I don't want to bother her with these things."

　Sorry, I didn't spare time today, and I still have a headache, so it's late.

　　The next chapter is estimated to be very late, so you'd better read it tomorrow.
