Emperor Hongzhi didn't know what to say for a moment.

He then smiled: "Today's weather is good. I feel so relieved when I see this workshop today. Xishan is a great contribution. Prince, he succeeds his vassal, and he is willing to live a life. Do you know?"

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan nodded quickly.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled again: "Hey, look, this winter is cold. Now that the price of cloth has been reduced so much, my heart will be relaxed. I will live some days to let these meritorious students and craftsmen enter the palace, and I will meet them in person."

Fang Jifan sighed: "Your Majesty is so lenient to others, it is a blessing for the ministers."

Emperor Hongzhi pursed his lips and said to Empress Zhang: "It's not too late, so it's time for us to return to the palace."

As he said that, he got into the car and waved to Queen Zhang.

Empress Zhang bowed to Emperor Hongzhi and said, "Your Majesty is the emperor. How can you sit with a woman like me? I will be with me and my husband, and I will be with me and my wife."

"this……"

In front of Liu Jian and others, Emperor Hongzhi wanted to say something, but was dumbfounded, and then smiled and said, "Okay, that's OK."

He got into the car and was inexplicably irritated.

Why has Queen Zhang been so close to herself recently and too unfamiliar with her?

Why……

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and leaned on the sofa. At this time, he found himself alone, and he couldn't help feeling a little lonely in this spacious carriage.

He suddenly thought, why didn’t Xiao Jing come back? If he comes back, I will be angry.

…………

Queen Zhang got on the bus.

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan were in one after another and sat in a row.

Zhu Houzhao grinned at Queen Zhang happily.

Queen Zhang was full of thoughts. She raised her eyes and said to Fang Jifan: "Jifan, last time, Your Majesty complained to you, saying that this palace was just a woman, and it was useless... Do you still remember?"

Zhu Houzhao widened her eyes and looked terrifying.

Fang Jifan immediately said, "I haven't said it before, Empress, my son..."

Queen Zhang said meaningfully: "Don't defend yourself. Although you haven't said these words to me, my heart is as bright as a mirror."

"Empress, you misunderstood. Your Majesty's love for the Empress is well known. How could Your Majesty say such a thing? There must be some villain. He is making trouble in front of the Empress. My son... I will beat him to death now. My daughter... You don't think about how much His Majesty cares for the Empress. If he has such a thought, this is really unreasonable. My son dares to use his head as a guarantee. This is false, or the Empress must have been wrong. I beg the Empress to give a clue."

Fang Jifan’s sincere words.

Damn, who is our Fang Jifan? He is also a dignified seven-foot man. We will never do anything to spread rumors, and we will not even have such shameful thoughts.

Queen Zhang smiled: "Don't be afraid."

Fang Jifan said: "My son is not afraid, he is just speaking up for justice."

"Okay, even if you speak up for justice, I don't want to investigate these things. I have been by my side these days. I see her devotedly doing her knowledge. Sometimes, I really feel envious. It turns out that she is as good as a woman. Originally, I was thinking, since this is the case, I will weave cloth, which is also... Do something for Your Majesty, and find something for yourself, but now."

She looked at Zhu Houzhao eagerly: "Now that Houzhao and you have made such a loom, I... have nothing to do. I watched the opera singing 'Who said women were worse than men'. What was singing in this opera really reached my heart. Jifan, I said this, you won't make fun of me, right?"

Fang Jifan shook his head as if he was rattled: "I dare not make fun of you, but I admire you too much."

Queen Zhang sighed and said, "But, what should I do? I am not young anymore, but I am not ambitious enough to be old. You have the best idea, so let me tell you."

Fang Jifan said awkwardly: "Empress, can you remove the word ghost in front of you?"

Queen Zhang smiled slightly: "Serious."

Fang Jifan said: "Empress likes everything she likes, and there are thousands of knowledge in this world. All of this requires interest. Otherwise, no matter how skillful the knowledge is, what's the use of learning it is boring?"

Queen Zhang thought to herself: "As expected, I'll ask you right, but... I don't know what interests I have. Maybe this is the case. In a few days, you will send all your knowledge from the West to the palace. I will take a look and make a decision."

Fang Jifan responded.

But I couldn't help but think in my heart.

My mother-in-law, is it because she is going to apply for the 'elderly university'?

Look, even the mother-in-law works so hard, and her son is still scrambling all day long. If he can't do it, he will go home and beat him.

…………

Now, cloth merchants in the capital are staring at the West Mountain.

Xishan Fabric Industry's every move was enough to strangle them to death.

For the fabric industry, this is enough to be called a change that has not been seen in thousands of years.

This month has passed, and most merchants have barely cleared the goods they have accumulated at once. Although they have not made much profit, they have barely recovered some losses.

Next, a message was released.

Wang Jinyuan personally sent a post and invited someone to visit the First Cotton Spinning Workshop.

All the cloth merchants flocked to it, as if they knew that it was time to reveal the secret.

Batches of cloth merchants entered the workshop, but they were not allowed to enter the workshop, but were only allowed to view outside the glass window. But even so, the shock brought to them by the first cotton spinning workshop was also extremely shocking.

Then...the steam textile machine suddenly became a popular one.

The order for this machine has been almost three years later.

...

But this is a terrible news for many female workers in the cotton spinning workshop.

Because, the cotton spinning workshop may be closed in one month.

The female workers were talking about this.

Most of them are unmarried women and their families are mostly poor, otherwise they would not have been allowed to work.

But compared to staying at home all day long, although it is hard to work in a cotton spinning workshop, they are extremely satisfied.

After all, the cotton spinning workshop has good benefits, a lot of money, and even food and drinks are included. Every month, I can always save four or five taels of silver. This is an amazing thing for a woman.

With the money, you can subsidize your household income and you will feel confident.

Furthermore, a group of female workers lived and worked together and communicated with each other, so they naturally gained a lot of insights. They were no longer as cowardly as before.

After the value is set, there will be special night classes to teach them some simple reading and writing.

It can be said that...they don't want to change on such days.

But now...

When all kinds of rumors came, most of these girls hid secretly in the corner and shed tears.

Liu Ernu is already in her position and made mistakes several times.

She seemed absent-minded, and there were many people like her.

She likes cotton spinning workshops. If she goes back, she will have to do all kinds of things at home all day long. Not only does she do things, but her drunk father will also beat herself, and while beating her, she will scold words such as losing money.

Not to mention his own mother... I just thought in my heart that I would marry someone else's family as soon as possible, or even find a good family to be a child, so that my brothers could get married.

In the past, she didn't think that when she came here, she felt extremely happy.

So much so that from morning to night, she felt energetic.

If the cotton spinning workshop was really closed, not only would I have to go home by myself, but my father would definitely beat and scold him if he had no income. I don’t know which marriage my mother has organized.

I only learned half of my studies and recognized more than seventy words.

From now on... I will never see these sisters on weekdays again.

There are many people like Liu Ernu.

Women who can be sent out to work often have a sad past.

At noon, a female shopkeeper came. The female shopkeeper was an old lady who specialized in managing female workers.

The lady maid gathered everyone and said that something was announced.

Suddenly, Liu Ernu felt something was wrong.

Many female workers also had red eyes.

When everyone came, Liu Ernu said, "I took over the order from Manager Wang. From tomorrow, everyone doesn't have to come and pay the price. In order to dismiss everyone, the cotton spinning workshop will pay everyone an extra month's salary. At night... we will arrange a table of good food and food, eat it openly, which can be considered a farewell..."

This sentence is like sentenced everyone to death.

When Liu Ernu heard this, she let out a whimper and she burst into tears.

Many female workers also started sobbing.

In this shed, there was a burst of crying and a mess.

The female nanny hissed, "Don't quarrel, don't cry first, old man's words are not finished yet, Liu Ernu, Liu Ernu... Why are you crying so loudly? Come on..."

Liu Ernu barely stopped crying, suddenly lost his energy, and returned to his timid look when he entered the workshop.

The female nanny said, "Now, there are many cotton spinning workshops to start construction. The weaving machines have been customized and the land has been purchased. I just waited to build the workshop and prepare to start construction. But in this world, how many people can know how to fiddle with this machine? Liu Ernu, you have good skills and there are many cloth merchants outside. They want to hire a female shopkeeper and foreman with a high salary. There is a Ruyi cloth store to prepare for the construction of the workshop. Although the construction has not started, they have begun to recruit people.

But these newly recruited girls know what they know. Therefore, I recommend you to be a foreman, who is in charge of a steaming workshop, and there are more than 20 female workers waiting for you to teach them how to work. The salary is, the owner said, it is three times that of here. You clean up at night, and you will hire a car for you tomorrow morning. You can go to the workshop first and train the girls so that there will be no trouble when the workshop starts working."

“…”

Liu Ernest opened her eyes wide and she... became a foreman.
