Chapter 453 Conversation between Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma
Chapter 453: Conversation between Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma

The positive comments from the weaving workshop were obviously the most honest affirmation of the new loom.

After all, no matter how much others praise it, they can't know the good and bad of it better than those who actually do the operation.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy when he saw the weavers weaving cloth quickly right in front of his eyes.

"Oh, now we understand!"

"This new loom is great!"

"Nothing else, just because it's fast!"

"It's the same loom, it's the same work, but this new loom is just twice as fast!"

"Having this is better than anything else!"

"Yeah, Zhang Shan!"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's shout, Zhang Shan, the Minister of Works, who had been standing beside Zhu Yuanzhang without saying a word, quickly bowed and came over.

"Chen is here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even look at Zhang Shan beside him. He looked at the neatly arranged rows of looms in front of him with satisfaction, as if it was the most beautiful sight.

"Zhang Shan, when you go back today, start mobilizing manpower and materials to produce looms for us non-stop!"

"We should use the loom to let the people live a good life for a few days!"

"Although the cloth woven here won't make ordinary people rich overnight, it will definitely give them more food!"

"Just for this, I think it's worth it!"

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's order, Zhang Shan bowed and obeyed without thinking.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

For Zhang Shan, this oral instruction was not difficult.

It's nothing more than adding some raw materials and letting the craftsmen work hard.

He doesn't have to worry about money.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang has spoken, would the Ministry of Revenue dare not give the money?
He doesn't have to worry about the craftsmen's affairs.

We have produced thousands of units and have mastered the craft.

However, just as Zhang Shan was about to agree and make the arrangements, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly turned his head and looked straight at him.

"By the way, how's the loom you prepared going?"

Zhang Shan was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized.

"Oh, is that the one you said you were going to prepare for the Queen?"

"It's done! It's done!"

"Don't worry, the best craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry will carefully polish and assemble each part by hand."

"I guarantee that it will not only be strong and durable, but also the most comfortable and easy to use for the Queen!"

After hearing what Zhang Shan said, Zhu Yuanzhang finally smiled again and nodded.

"Okay, then let me take it away later and I'll give it to the Queen personally!"

Zhang Shan had no objection and quickly agreed.

He really took this matter to heart.

After all, there are always one or two opportunities to flatter Zhu Yuanzhang.

But the opportunity to flatter the queen is rare.

Even though the Queen is one of the concubines in the harem who cannot interfere in government affairs, in fact, any official who has achieved the level of Zhangshan would understand this.

The Queen's influence on Your Majesty is enormous.

Whenever the Queen spoke, His Majesty would definitely listen to her in the end, even if he cursed at her.

Because of this, the Ministry of Works put a lot of effort into making this loom exclusively for the Queen.

After looking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang was finally satisfied and turned around to take another look at the Ministry of Works.

Then he staggered back to the palace with the "premium edition" new loom.

"Look, girl, what did we get for you!"

Inside Kunning, before even entering the door, the triumphant Zhu Yuanzhang shouted out loud.

Queen Ma, who was sitting there drinking tea, heard the noise outside and rolled her eyes in annoyance.

There are really too many dark histories of Zhu Yuanzhang in the past.

Many of the things he obviously liked were always obtained under the pretext of giving them as gifts to Empress Ma.

At the beginning, they were still a little bit shy, but in the end, they were completely shameless. What precious sword, divine horse, powerful bow...

Whenever Zhu Yuanzhang coveted something good, he would get it under the pretext of giving it to Empress Ma.

Then after staying with Queen Ma for a few days, he would "borrow it for fun"!
This happened again and again, and even Empress Ma, who had a good temper, could no longer bear it.

It turns out that you are the one who is having a lot of fun, but it is Queen Ma who is suffering from the "unjust accusation".

It would be strange if she was happy about it.

But this time, she was wrong.

Looking at the loom that was moved in, Empress Ma was also stunned.

"Zhongba, where did this come from? Why is it different from the loom we used to have?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

"Weiyong did it!"

"We asked the Ministry of Industry to work overtime to get it done!"

"Prepared especially for you!"

"Come on, try it now!"

Queen Ma nodded without comment.

Nothing can be said until you get started.

After all, the requirements for weaving a loom don't seem to be that high at all.

It's okay to make do with whatever you have, it's all usable!

Queen Ma, who had this idea in mind, was completely stunned after trying it only a few times.

"Zhongba, what do you think Weiyong is thinking?"

"I tried it and it really works. It's really good and fast!"

"It will be a blessing for the people to have this thing in their homes in the future!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a smile.

"really!"

"It is because of this thing that we did not force Weiyong to continue to work for us as an official!"

"Why? Isn't it just the people's business?"

Empress Ma obviously strongly supported Zhu Yuanzhang's concern for the people.

"The people are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. You should care about them!"

At this point, Queen Ma obviously thought of something and spoke with emotion.

"It has to be Weiyong!"

"Zhongba, think about what Weiyong has come up with in the past two years."

"Let's not talk about potatoes and sweet potatoes, they are the immortal food that can save countless lives!"

"With these two things, how many people would be saved from starvation?"

"Now we have this new loom, which gives us an extra source of income out of nowhere!"

"Ha, now I remember. After he figured out how to have enough food and clothing, he even came up with the game of mahjong."

"That's good. He even solved the problem of entertainment for you without saying anything!"

"You can't let down such a minister!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Empress Ma said, he immediately cried out that he felt greatly wronged.

"Sister, what you said is wrong. What else should we do to him?"

"We made his niece the Crown Princess, and our eldest daughter has married into the Hu family. What else do you want?"

"You know, nowadays, people outside have already made long-lasting tablets for Wei Yong, but we don't care!"

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Empress Ma felt relieved.

However, she still had a question.

"So... you don't plan for him to continue to be an official?"

"If I remember correctly, is the new scientific expedition coming soon?"

"Weiyong did a good job last time. What about this time? Will you call him?"
