The whole workshop is like a big steamer, it won't be long.

Emperor Hongzhi felt that his whole body was soaked.

Liu Jian and others also felt breathless.

But these female workers shuttled back and forth, or worked at their own workstations.

Zhu Houzhao was shirtless, like a fire brigade, sometimes helping here and sometimes helping there.

When the female workers saw him, they got very close. This kind of closeness was not the kind of deliberate flattery.

Emperor Hongzhi was a little ashamed.

He scolded his son all day long, only now did he realize that compared with his son, he was nothing like mud.

Empress Zhang stayed here for half an hour.

In the end, the eunuch counted out, and there were seventy-seven balls of thread spun.

If they were unskilled weavers, they might not have both groups, but this machine actually increased Queen Zhang's efficiency by dozens of times.

Empress Zhang couldn't help saying, "Dare to love my palace and so many people in the palace. I have been busy for a month. With such a machine, I don't know how much energy I can save."

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be suffering every moment.

Finally, I walked out of the workshop.

Fang Jifan and others chased him out.

Emperor Hongzhi's face seemed to have been washed, and Liu Jian and others gasped even more.

But then, a gust of cold wind hit, and Emperor Hongzhi felt refreshed, and he said pleasantly, "I finally understand why the price of cloth has dropped so sharply, hahahaha... so it is because of this, this thing , it’s not under the steam locomotive, this steam engine really has infinite uses, Jifan, you say... this was created by the prince?"

Fang Jifan said seriously, "No."

Zhu Houzhao was flattered, just waiting for this compliment.

Hearing Fang Jifan's categorical denial, his face immediately pulled down.

Fang Jifan said, "The study of steam locomotives has used countless manpower and material resources, and is the result of the hard work of thousands of craftsmen, and this steam loom is not only researched on the basis of predecessors, but also thousands of people. , these people, all of them forget to eat and sleep, and some of them eat and sleep in the research institute. Although His Royal Highness is the leader, leading the craftsmen to preside over this matter, it can be said that the contribution is indispensable, but if it is said that the prince is alone Yes, my son is more upright, and I am not afraid of offending His Highness the Crown Prince, so I can only answer His Majesty, that His Highness the Crown Prince and countless people worked together to make it up."

Zhu Houzhao's face softened a little.

The old man is still very conscientious.

This remark... Zhu Houzhao couldn't find a thorn in his side.

After all, Zhu Houzhao and those students and craftsmen worked together without sleep and food, and they still had a lot of friendship with each other. Fang Jifan asked for credit for them, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, "I understand, you want me to reward these students and craftsmen."

Fang Jifan said, "They don't need His Majesty's reward."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned again.

Fang Jifan said, "Xishan has already given them the treatment that should be given to them. They don't ask for fame and fortune, they just ask the court to treat them seriously. In my son's eyes, the talents in the world are not just stereotyped scholars. The minister bluntly said that he can only make stereotypes, but it is just a group of wine and food."

Emperor Hongzhi "..."

Liu Jian and the others, their faces are congested, they look good, are you swearing?

Fang Jifan said with a grin, "Look, Your Majesty, Xishan has raised a lot of wine bags and rice bags who can only do stereotypes, and they were lucky enough to win some Jinshi and Juren..."

Liu Jian found that he had no temper at all.

Others dare not scold Jinshi and Juren, but Fang Jifan is qualified.

If you are not convinced, you can compare with his disciples, whose stereotyped essay is better.

If you can't even win the stereotyped exam, then what qualifications do you have to refute.

Fang Jifan said, "It is neither merchants, scholars, or craftsmen that are really beneficial to the country and the people, but in the eyes of my sons and ministers, the number one in every line of business. Any business, as long as it is done well, will make great contributions. They are sages, just like Tuntian Wei who studies farming, and some Xishan Academy students and craftsmen study machinery, they are no different from scholars."

Zhu Houzhao also said excitedly, "That's right, I think so too."

Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back, and he heard Fang Jifan's meaning, he couldn't help but smiled wryly, "It's not a day's cold to freeze three feet, many things are easy to say, how can I not know, stereotyped selection of scholars, there are many disadvantages, but in today's world , all the gentry teach stereotyped writing to their disciples..."

He didn't continue talking, but exchanged glances with Liu Jian and the others.

Everyone understands what Emperor Hongzhi was thinking.

If the Ming Dynasty wants to be stable, it must have its own ruling foundation. At least for now, in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, 99% of the prefectures and counties are still these gentry. If they lose the support of these gentry, the world will still be stable. Can you live?

Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile, "However, I really want to see these students and craftsmen. They are all meritorious ministers."

Emperor Hongzhi said, and looked at Zhu Houzhao with relief.

I misunderstood this kid before, and I was tired of being in the workshop all day long, with no plans.

Only now did I realize that... this guy, he worked with others to create such a thing, producing cloth every day.

"With such a machine, the country

Why do you worry about not prospering? One workshop can produce 100,000 horses per month, so what if there are ten or one hundred? "Emperor Hongzhi seemed very emotional, "My Daming, what is missing is silver. This silver...is just an iron lump dug out of the ground. It is just a piece of paper. The value of this piece of paper does not depend on what is printed on it, but on whether there are so many things that can be exchanged in the market. "

Emperor Hongzhi said, "Such workshops should be built in Xishan..."

Fang Jifan shook his head, "Your Majesty, Xishan... I'm afraid we can't build more."

"Um?"

Fang Jifan said, "My son plans to set up Xishan Machinery Workshop with His Majesty, not to sell cloth, but to sell these steam looms, only to let the merchants in the world realize how powerful this thing is, and they will find it profitable, so they will order it one after another. At that time, hundreds of thousands of workshops will be set up without Xishan's hands."

Emperor Hongzhi was thoughtful, "This... is also a good way. But..."

Emperor Hongzhi realized a question: "So, ordinary people will not be able to weave cloth in the future?"

Men farm and women weave, this is a habit that has been passed down for thousands of years.

The men went out to till the fields, and the women hid at home, mending for the family, or engaged in weaving.

Therefore, in this generation, women's talents are the most important thing for women. Because women understand women's skills, they can buy clothes for their families when they marry their husbands in the future. Households, earn some scattered silver to subsidize the family.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't know this.

But now it seems... This road may not work.

With such machines and such labor-saving production, how could this private weaving company compete with these machines?

Fang Jifan said, "Women can come out to work. At present, all kinds of industries are waiting to be promoted, and the most lacking thing is labor."

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help scolding, "Spoken nonsense, doesn't it mean that the world is going to be turned upside down, these words, you can just say a few words of nonsense in front of me, and you must not talk nonsense outside."

Fang Jifan said very seriously, "Your Majesty, why can't women do things? I feel that if men can do things, women can do them too, and they can do things better than men. You see, all the people in this workshop are Female workers, their efficiency and ability are much better than most people, Your Majesty, no matter if they are men or women, they are all His Majesty's children, how can His Majesty treat one more than another."

Liu Jian and the others rolled their eyes.

This guy... started again.

Emperor Hongzhi blew his beard and stared. Although he was very happy today, he felt that Fang Jifan's words would bring disaster to this boy, so he said sharply, "In short, don't talk nonsense. It's better for women to stay at home."

The emperor is so unreasonable.

"Ah……"

A chuckle.

Emperor Hongzhi realized something when he heard the laughter. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the laughing owner.

Empress Zhang's mouth was naturally hooked slightly, with a smile on her face, but there was something interesting in her eyes.

Emperor Hongzhi "..."

Queen Zhang was a little annoyed.

In front of this palace, His Majesty said that this palace is useless, well, it is useless, and now in front of Jifan, he said that it is good for women to stay, anyway, it is contemptuous Own.

Empress Zhang straightened her temples, and said with a smile, "Yes, just now when I was weaving in the palace, I felt that half an hour was hard work, but the women in these workshops worked from morning till night. , I really admire them. If you say they are useless, your Majesty and my concubines will definitely disagree. As long as this woman obeys the three obediences and four virtues, keeps herself safe, and has difficulties at home, it is not a bad idea to come out to seek some errands. Your Majesty, look, Those female medical officers in the palace, don’t they all do a good job? Especially the female doctor Liang, I heard that she taught herself in the palace, wrote a paper, and even appeared in a search journal. How many people in this world can Like her. Without her, I am afraid that the Empress Dowager... will lose her life."

"The concubine has absolutely no complaints against His Majesty. She just thinks that His Majesty regards these women who come out to seek employment as infidelity. This is really inappropriate. Could it be that female doctor Liang did something wrong? , Could it be... just because they came out to work, the world has turned upside down? What a big deal, Your Majesty is serious."

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Empress Zhang looked at Emperor Hongzhi pitifully.

Emperor Hongzhi blushed, his eyes began to look around, hesitantly said, "This... this..."
