Chapter 2249 Private Workshop

The early winter in Jinling is not too cold. Yes, at least the members of the delegation staying in the room don't feel cold.

After arriving in Jinling, their right to go shopping freely was deprived.

Duo Ke was drinking tea. The tea in Jinling seemed to be more fragrant than that in Peiping, but they said it was because the water was better.

It's bitterly cold in the north and the water is hard.

The south is warm and has pleasant mountains and rivers.

But he tried it, and when the wind blew in the courtyard for a quarter of an hour, his bones suddenly felt chilly.

One side is rough, the other side is soft.

Soft often means silence, and the cold in the south is like this.

"How long do we have to wait?"

Although Akito prohibited them from going out alone, he did not restrict their movements in the post house.

Abel has also lost the confidence of his so-called 'ally', and he wants to return home now.

"Are you thinking about your lover? Or about your child."

Doc sneered, seeing that Abel was a little dull, he couldn't help but said depressedly: "It seems that we have to wait for Akito's decision, but that Chen is also missing. When he was in the capital, he often came to us to take a bath and let people I hate taking a shower, but now he doesn’t come either, what does this mean?”

"This means Akito feels he doesn't have to deal with us anymore."

Henry came in from the door. He was wearing Akito's robe, but he still felt uncomfortable walking around.

As soon as he came in, he rubbed his hands and said: "The winter here will not be easy. I have a hunch that we will not be able to leave before spring comes."

Abel sighed: "That's fine, they don't bother to kill me anyway."

Doc sneered: "After killing me, you won't be able to survive in order to silence me."

…

"The Western envoys were making purchases, and the Thai and Western envoys were stared at on the street once. They were a little unhappy when they came back, but the official did not take care of them. They later calmed down."

Fang Xing was a little uncomfortable with the serious Chen Mo. But Chen Mo was almost frightened to death since he was stared at by people from Dongchang last time, and he has been very serious recently.

"Keep an eye on them and remember that except for Confucianism, they are not allowed to buy or collect any books. Once discovered, they will be taken back immediately. For this reason... there is no harm in seeing blood, and there is no guilt for meritorious service."

Fang Xing looked up and saw Chen Mo smiling flatteringly.

Familiar and obscene!

Fang Xing felt that he was in a better mood, so he ordered: "There is still some time before we go to sea. If you want to go home for a visit, I will give you a long vacation."

Chen Modui said with a smile: "Uncle, I am still in office. You must not do it, you must not do it!"

This guy is a hands-off shopkeeper! The wife and children at home are completely ignored, but the money and food will not be short.

Fang Xing suppressed the weird speculation and said, "In that case, it's up to you."

After Chen Mo left, Liu Pu said he wanted to visit the shipyard.

…

The Li family's workshop is a rising star in Jinling. Since the gradual loosening of business restrictions in the late Yongle year, the Li family's workshop has developed from scratch, from small to large.

After the Xuande period, the business environment became more relaxed. The Li family's workshop space in the city was not enough, so they built a new workshop outside the city to specialize in the production of ironware.

The workshops in the city specialize in making high-quality products, so they are strictly guarded, fearing that others will steal their work.

It's said to be a workshop, but it looks similar to a human settlement from the outside, except that it occupies a larger area.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Jinyiwei Fei Shi."

The door opened, and Li Ji, the proprietor of the workshop, welcomed Fang Xing and others in with weak legs.

"This uncle will wake up... Hey, hey, hey! Hold him!"

As soon as Fang Xing introduced himself, when he saw the strong Li Ji, his eyes turned white and he fell back.

This was the first time Fang Xing saw Fei Shi take action, and he was just a little slower than Xin Laoqi.

Xin Laoqi took a step forward and supported Li Ji, and Fei Shi immediately supported the other side.

Xin Laoqi just pressed it, and Li Ji woke up leisurely. When he saw Fang Xing, he shrank back as if he was seeing a demon.

"Uncle Ben is not here to raid the house!"

Fang Xing comforted him with black lines on his face.

But Li Ji was still scared, so Fei Shi shouted: "Who was scared? Tell me, and I will make the decision for you."

Li Ji looked at Fang Xing timidly, Fei Shi touched the handle of the knife, his eyes became colder, and then he asked him to speak.

"Uncle, someone said...you want to suppress business..."

Fang Xing asked: "Who said that? Why did you say that?"

Fei Shi scolded: "My uncle keeps saying that the Ming Dynasty is suppressing businessmen. Whose bullshit is this? He has ulterior motives!"

"Yes... I was drinking the day before yesterday, and everyone saw those whose homes were ransacked..."

"Those are the gentry."

Fei Shi felt that the information asymmetry was too deceptive and said: "Those gentry colluded with the generals in the army and committed a big taboo."

"Pure rumors!"

Fang Xing calmly comforted Li Ji. Seeing that Fei Shi had already arranged for someone to check, he couldn't help but nod slightly.

He has always felt that Ming Dynasty does not lack talents, but only lacks an atmosphere for talents to emerge and be reused.

There are all brick houses inside, with several large water tanks placed outside the house and several piles of sand beside it.

"Uncle, this is for fear of catching fire."

After Fang Xing expressed his attitude that he was here to take a look and inspect, Li Ji immediately came to life and talked endlessly about the facilities in the workshop.

"This is good, you should be prepared!"

Fang Xing approved and went inside.

It's not small inside, and a wave of heat hits you as soon as you enter.

The stoves were burning, and the iron tools were burning red inside, and then they were taken out and beaten.

Seeing Li Ji bringing people in, the craftsmen just glanced at it and continued working.

"The rules are good."

Fang Xing walked to the edge of a work station and watched two craftsmen hammering on a long and thin object.

This is a pipe, almost rolled and beaten.

Not long after, a craftsman pulled something out from the side of the pipe, then took a curved, thinner iron pipe and hammered it into the gap. After it cooled, he scooped out the burned liquefied material. He didn't know whether it was steel or steel. The iron stuff was poured over.

"Expansion with heat and contraction with cold? Interesting."

Fang Xing's words made Li Ji's eyes light up, and he said happily: "Uncle, these craftsmen all know this truth. Later, after reading your science, everyone knew that it is called thermal expansion and contraction..."

"Is it uncle?"

The two craftsmen had long seen Fang Xing's status and wealth, and when they heard about the science, they were immediately overjoyed.

Fang Xing was unexpectedly overjoyed.

The craftsman buried the iron pipe into a pile of thin things of unknown origin beside it.

Then the two of them knelt down together, causing other craftsmen to stop their work.

There is no sound of banging in the room, only the occasional crackling of the flame and the sounds of stress changes in certain workpieces.

Fang Xing said in shock: "What are you doing? Get up!"

Being worshiped by others can make people feel happy. If it lasts for a long time, they may even think that they are gods and the rest are mortals.

Seeing Fang Xing frowning, Li Ji hurriedly scolded: "Kneel down, get up quickly."

Li Ji, who had been smiling flatteringly, suddenly changed his appearance, becoming fierce and cold.

This is a capitalist!

Fang Xing's face gradually turned cold, and Wang He shouted sharply: "Who are you scolding?"

The two craftsmen stood up in panic, and Li Ji immediately laughed and said, "The younger one is scolding them!"

"Are they craftsmen?"

Fang Xing asked, his expression calm, as if he was indifferent.

But Wang He knew some of his thoughts and ideas, and there was a smile in his eyes when he looked at Li Ji.

You flattered me in the wrong place!

Li Ji was startled and said: "No, no, uncle, how can a young man use craftsmen!"

Craftsmen with craftsman status are under the control and designation of the government, and private workshops are not eligible to use them.

Fang Xing said calmly: "You didn't have such a good life before. Later, the conditions were relaxed. You can do business with confidence, open workshops with confidence, and hire these people with confidence..."

"Yeah yeah!"

Li Ji said flatteringly: "This is your majesty's benevolent government, this is your uncle..."

"How much food can I get in a month?"

Fang Xing ignored him and asked the two craftsmen.

Li Ji was very embarrassed. Seeing that the two craftsmen did not dare to say anything, he was ready to answer.

"I didn't let you speak! If you keep talking too much..."

Xiaodao glanced at Li Ji, his eyes a little red.

"It's hot inside. Let's go out with Xiao Dao to get some air."

Xin Laoqi knew that Xiaodao was ill. He probably recalled the misery of his childhood, so he pointed outside and asked someone to accompany him out.
