Daming: My brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 16 If you can't get any money, don't wait for Wei Zhongxian, the supervisor of ceremonies
"It's human nature for the master to want to hug his grandson, how dare his apprentice and grandson not make it happen?"

"It's just that the grandson is only a junior, and it seems that he can't do anything about it. But please don't worry, the grandson will ask my father to come forward when he goes back, and let him complete this matter. When the time comes, he will guarantee that Enfu will marry a gentle, virtuous, and knowledgeable woman." Shu Dali's teacher's wife!"

Han Gui said with a smile.

Zhang Guoji said with a sneer, "That's what I mean too, it's really hard work."

"Master, where are these words?"

"My father said earlier that Enfu is a talented person with outstanding knowledge. He only hates the daughter of the Han family who is not waiting for her. Otherwise, he would have taken the initiative to ask for marriage. It is also the luck of the Han family to help participate in this matter, because you always think highly of the Han family."

Han Gui said kindly.

Then, Han Yu said again: "It's just that I don't know how long it will take until the marriage ceremony and the final birth, and you are always eager to embrace your grandson, so you can't wait. How about this, the disciple's family has raised two stunning grandchildren. The original intention of the maid was to be raised as a gift for others to have children, and all of them were not married at the age of [-] or [-], and now they are given to Enfu as a filial piety, so that Enfu can also know some things about the house before they get married, which is beneficial to her. In the future, the offspring will reproduce, I don't know what you will do?"

Zhang Guoji originally wanted to refuse, but thinking that Xiao Chan is still young, if there are really two older maids who come to teach Zhang Gui the affairs of the room first, it would be a good thing to save Zhang Gui from going out and causing trouble, so he said: "Then it's better to be respectful." Obedience."

Because of this, Han Gui smiled and said, "Let the apprentices and grandchildren send them in a car tonight."

……

"Those two beautiful maidservants, did you really send them away?"

After Han Yu returned to the mansion, he asked Han Gui to report to him about going to Zhang's mansion, and asked a question at this time.

Han Gui replied, "Send it."

"It's cheaper for Zhang Gui!"

After Han Yu said this, he said, "Qian Muzhai has been thinking about these two beautiful maidservants in my house for a long time."

Han Gui smiled and said, "It's enough to raise them again. Why should my father be so distressed by this? Nowadays, there are a lot of children selling children in the world, and the prices are getting lower and lower. As long as you choose and buy carefully, there are still good embryos."

Han Yu nodded, and said: "Nowadays, the son attaches great importance to family affection. The nurse and younger brother all stay in the palace, and even the relatives are given a house near Xiyuan. This family relationship must be related to us. Go and find out, I will Among the disciples and old officials of the Han family, who are the daughters of other families who are waiting to discuss marriage."

"understand!"

……

"I called you here to show you. I have already built the new-style carriage you presented earlier, and I have tried it. It is indeed very stable!"

Zhang Gui is currently in Xiyuan, listening to Tianqi.

And beside Tian Qi, there is a new carriage with rolling bearings parked.

After Zhang Gui heard what Tian Qi said, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Your Majesty is really amazing, and he made it so quickly."

"It's also fortunate that there are powerful watchmakers in the palace, otherwise, the rolling bearing you drew would not be easy to make."

Tian Qi said with a smile.

"It is not enough to rely on the watchmaker's superb craftsmanship to use it in large quantities for food transportation and military transportation."

Zhang Gui said suddenly.

Tian Qi nodded and asked Zhang Gui: "What do you mean?"

"This rolling bearing must be mass-produced, that is, it must be mass-produced in the shortest possible time, and the process must be simple, and the talent requirements for the operator are not high, so that the cost of rolling bearings can be reduced, and a large number of This kind of carriage is used to transport grain and troops, thereby reducing the loss of my Ming Dynasty's transportation of grain and grass on the nine sides."

Zhang Gui replied.

Tianqi thought for a while, nodded and said: "In this case, the output of steel must also be increased, otherwise, as it is now, a large number of carriages must be made of good steel that has been tempered for a long time, and how many people will be required to refine it? How long do you practice for?"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"If it's just used as a plaything, it doesn't matter how expensive it is. If you want this carriage to benefit the country and the people, it will take some trouble. If there is a difference between the two, in my opinion, it is only used as a dignitary for fun and cannot Mass-produced objects can be called handicrafts, which are exquisite and valuable, which is not conducive to the country and the people; but can be mass-produced, and can also be used by the court in large quantities and affordable by the common people. "

Zhang Gui replied.

"Crafts, industrial products."

Tian Qi muttered to himself, and suddenly smiled at Zhang Gui: "You made up these two words well! I will think more about industrial products in the future, and since then, my hobby is not harming the country or the people, but benefiting the country. Limin."

"That's the truth."

Zhang Gui was very relieved that Tian Qi had a strong comprehension ability, and he understood what he meant so quickly.

In his view, although the Ming Dynasty has a great background in science and technology, a large number of skilled craftsmen, and magical skills such as drawing gold into hair and burning porcelain into transparent glaze, it has not been able to enter the industrial revolution because a large number of skilled craftsmen are just to satisfy the powerful bureaucrats. To meet people's needs, we mainly focus on making handicrafts. The handicrafts are exquisite and ingenious, but they are expensive, which is not conducive to popularizing among the people and generating the value of promoting social productivity.

Industrial products are different. The pursuit of industrial products is high quality and low price, in order to meet the needs of the common people, and once they come out, they can generate great economic benefits.

Therefore, Zhang Gui consciously directed Apocalypse to the road of actively inventing and manufacturing industrial products, rather than handicrafts.

"In your opinion, how do you turn this rolling bearing into an industrial product?"

Apocalypse asked at this time.

Zhang Gui then replied: "The core is to improve the method of steelmaking! Experienced watchmakers can cut out good iron beads because the knives in their hands can cut iron like mud, and the bearings must use good steel. This shows that as long as Improve the method of steelmaking, so that the steel used by watchmakers to cut iron like mud and the steel used for bearings can be forged in large quantities, and then this rolling bearing can become an industrial product."

As he said that, Zhang Gui took the initiative to invite Ying and said: "Your Majesty, you might as well entrust this task to the minister. I am willing to try it. I will give the minister a sum of money first, and the minister will find some old blacksmiths and look through various classics. See if there is a way to make good steel quickly, try them all."

"I have no money!"

Tian Qi replied with some embarrassment, and said rather disappointedly: "The national treasury and internal funds are all empty."

"Oh!"

"Then His Majesty didn't say anything."

Only then did Zhang Gui realize that he had overlooked that the biggest problem of Daming during this period was the financial problem.

"But you have already aroused my desire to do this!"

Tian Qi said something, then took a look at Wei Zhongxian, and said: "Since you have volunteered to lead the task of making steel and turning bearings into industrial products, then leave the task of making money to Wei Zhongxian. Let you all have a chance to make meritorious deeds, after all you are all my own family."

"what!"

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said: "My lord, apart from being able to serve people, slaves and servants don't know how to make money!"

"The steelmaking thing, you come?"

Apocalypse asked.

"The servant girl should go to increase the income of the emperor's internal money."

Wei Zhongxian felt that it was simply impossible to turn any good steel into cheap steel that everyone could use, so he chose to make money.

"You know how to choose the easy way, but you are not as responsible as my brother-in-law! That day when Wang An was in a difficult situation with me, and you had to be reminded to stand up, I saw it!"

Tian Qi said angrily.

Wei Zhongxian felt quite wronged, making money is not easy, okay, but he couldn't refute Tianqi, he just said: "Yes, I am ashamed, I think I am not as good as Uncle Guo."

"It's rare for you to have self-knowledge."

Tian Qi immediately asked Zhang Gui, "How much money do you need to make steel?"

Zhang Guidao: "I don't know about it either. Of course it is Han Xin who ordered troops. The more the better."

After Tian Qi heard this, he looked at Wei Zhongxian: "Did you hear that? From now on, my brother-in-law will only ask you for money, and you have to pay him as much as he wants. Just keep an account, but if you don't give it or can't give it out, Si Li will give it to you." Supervisor, don't wait any longer."

Wei Zhongxian's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt pressured, but he didn't dare to resist the order, so he could only reply: "Your servant obeys the order!"
