System, help me be an empress

Chapter 32 The Day I Diligently Appraised the Memorial

Xu Youxi's surprise brought by the appearance of "Jenny Spinning Machine" is no less than the surprise that his subordinates found sweet potatoes from overseas a few years ago!
Anyone who has studied history is familiar with the words "Jenny's Spinning Machine".Although the first industrial revolution was marked by the steam engine that brought the whole society into the steam age, the beginning of the industrial revolution was definitely the 'Jenny machine'.

The most primitive jenny loom is equipped with only eight vertical spindles, but it can also increase the efficiency by a full eight times, not to mention the development of the later jenny machine, which can even install a full [-] spindles.

This greatly reduces the textile cost and greatly improves the efficiency!
……

Xu Youxi gradually calmed down from being full of surprises. She vaguely remembered that in her previous life, when she was taking a class on the Industrial Revolution, the textbook also mentioned the ancient "Wang Zhennong Shu", which recorded that similar high-efficiency textile machines had appeared in China. About 6 meters long and 1.5 meters wide, 32 yarns are spun at the same time, driven by human or animal power, and nearly 120 catties of cotton yarn can be spun a day, far exceeding the 400-year-old Jenny loom, but later...

Lost?
Xu Youxi believes that there is a reason for everything that happens and develops in the world, so will it be possible that even if she vigorously promotes the Jenny Machine, the result will not be accepted by society at all?

That would be too bad.

I remember that when the Jenny loom first appeared in the UK, there were many problems. For example, countless textile handicraftsmen smashed the Jenny loom that took their jobs, forcing the inventor's family to live on the streets.But people persisted in the end, and the Jenny loom was promoted and popularized, which triggered the industrial revolution.

Will the high-efficiency textile machine hundreds of years earlier than the Jenny machine also encounter the same situation?
It's a pity that the inventor lacked a little persistence, or perhaps a little bit of luck, which eventually led to the loss of that high-efficiency textile machine, leaving only a few lines of text, allowing future generations to imagine prosperity.

History is always strikingly similar, but it is by no means a simple repetition.

Xu Youxi took the opportunity to pick up the teacup, drank a few sips of tea, and said in a low voice, "This is a big business. If we can persist, the Shenji Camp will be able to spend several more years."

The page of [The First Industrial Revolution] in [Social Process] has been lit up, and the sequence is as follows:
【Jenny Spinning Machine (Lighted Up)】

【Steam engine (unlit)】

【Steam steamboat (unlit)】

【Steam car (unlit)】

【Steam train (unlit)】

【Tractor (unlit)】

……

[Remarks: There are two ways to light up, one is to buy with points; the other is to be born naturally in society]

Xu Youxi went to open the mall and took a look at the prices. Except for [Steam Engine], which required 30 prestige points, everything else required 100 prestige points.

She regrets it.

If God gave her another chance to choose a major in college again, she would definitely become an excellent engineering student!

By the time she graduates with a Ph.D., even if she doesn't have the chance to get in touch with high-level projects such as rocket ascension and spaceship development, it won't be a big problem to learn the design of tractor parts...

"I won't read it, I can't afford it anyway." Xu Youxi sighed and gave up continuing to study the system. If he had time to daydream, he might as well approve two more memorials.

When Dagan first established the dynasty, in order to centralize power, the prime minister was abolished and the cabinet system was established.Taizu probably never imagined that his descendants didn't even have one ten-thousandth of his diligence, ignored the memorials, ignored the government, and forcibly created a situation where the cabinet was centralized and the eunuchs dictatorship.

Xu Youxi asked Zhou Yuxue to send all the recent memorials to the palace, and in an instant, several "mountains of books" appeared on the table in the imperial study.

You must know that these memorials have already been screened by the cabinet and the director of ceremonies, but there are still so many!
Xu Youxi just flipped through it casually, and it was not difficult to find that these memorials had been accumulated since before her imperial brother ascended the throne.In other words, she not only has to help her brother approve the memorial, but also has to help her father 'make up homework'!
Xu Youxi suddenly felt dizzy.

She had every reason to suspect that her imperial brother had chosen to go to the imperial conquest in person just to avoid seeing the memorial!
Xu Youxi sighed deeply, and opened them one by one, ready to make corrections. In order to increase the efficiency of reading the memorials, Xu Youxi opened the system while reading the memorials to learn about the grading status of those who wrote the memorials.

The first memorial was obviously an outstanding work of a troll, and it was full of hundreds of words of cursing. Xu Youxi was quite excited to read it at first, but even after reading it to the end, she didn't realize who exactly this big brother was scolding?

Oh, Xu Youxi suddenly realized that he was criticizing all kinds of social conditions.

But what's the point of presenting this thing?
I still use you to criticize all kinds of social conditions, don't I think it's good for myself!

"Come here, bring in three barrels."

Xu Youxi picked up the brush and wrote down "garbage", "return the original", and "immediately process", and asked the maid to paste the three pieces of paper on the bucket respectively.

The first memorial was so gloriously entered the "trash can".

In the second memorial, the first 20 characters express that under the leadership of the emperor, the people’s life is getting better and better, and the middle [-] characters hesitate and euphemistically express that the people’s harvest is due to the mixed floods and droughts. Not good, I asked the imperial court if they could reduce taxes. In the end, it was three hundred words, expressing my pride in the hard-won prosperity and wishing me a beautiful vision that will last forever.

Xu Youxi picked up the red pen in dissatisfaction, deleted the beginning, middle, and end, and added a sentence at the end: There is too much nonsense, and the nine characters of "Jun County's harvest is poor, hope to reduce taxes" are enough.

The third memorial was to impeach Meng Zhiqian.

Judging from the date of more than three months ago, there are [-] articles on the impeachment of Meng Zhiqian, including corruption and collusion with party members.

The most ridiculous thing is that this person with only 5% integrity is impeaching a person with 95% integrity for corruption?

Xu Youxi criticized: You did not write the "Luozhijing", which is the loss of "Luozhijing".If you are an official, you will be overqualified and useless, and you will return to your hometown to farm and write books.

Vernacular: You have been fired.

The fourth memorial is to attack Xu Youxi's first wife, who has been married for two years and has nothing to show for it. It must be because the woman has lost her morality that she will not have children.

If he didn't remind her, Xu Youxi would not have remembered that she has a sister-in-law.The emperor's sister-in-law seemed to show her filial piety by accompanying the elder brother to Jiangnan for medical treatment?
Xu Youxi raised the red pen and commented:
You are virtuous, why don't you see that you have a son.

All men in the world do not have children, but all men in the world lose their virtue.

……

After reading more than a dozen memorials in succession, Xu Youxi couldn't control her temper no matter how good she was: "Zhou Yuxue, I remember that the memorials handed over by ministers have to be screened by the cabinet and the inspector of ceremonies. How can they be handed over to me? It's all this nonsense!"
