Chapter 642 Eighty Spinning Wheels(1/2)

The reason why Zhu Qiyu didn't fish by himself was because he was afraid that the fish would run away. He had too many air strikes. This was not a technical reason (exactly), but because he was the emperor. The ministers would immediately take notice of the slightest movement. If he forced fishing,

If you can't catch it, you might as well let Wang Ao hunt for it.

In fact, Wang Ao has always done a good job and made every effort to fight against corruption.

The fight against corruption needs to be coordinated with the actions of cracking down on criminal gangs and eliminating evil, so that the effect will be better.

Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian headed towards Qin Tianjian. The Ten Great Calendar Bureaus brought many surprises to Zhu Qiyu. They even made fertilizers from cow dung or human urine, which is ammonia fertilizer. The effect is about

Equivalent to ammonia.

Going to the Qintian Prison was just a disguise. As an emperor, he often went to the Qintian Prison for inspections. The Qintian Prison was opposite the Gongyuan, so it was very reasonable for him to appear near the Gongyuan.

Zhu Qiyu said as he walked: "I heard that even the total expenses of the two Zhejiang merchants should be taken for reference. Didn't he abandon Confucianism and go into business? Is this back again?"

As the emperor, he knew the movements of a businessman. The main reason was that Fei Yiying's help to Yuan Bin, Yue Qian and others in the Japanese country could not be ignored. After all, managing so many Yikui villages required a large number of manpower, and the mountains and rivers were full of silver.

Staff are also needed.

Especially when it comes to treating the Japanese as cattle and horses, merchants are better at it.

The literati and poets of the Ming Dynasty were unwilling to go to barbarian lands like Japan, so only profit-seeking businessmen would go.

Fei Yiying, as the general merchant of the Huaihe River and Huaihe River, made explorations in jointly going to sea with the imperial court and obtaining benefits for the Ming Dynasty, and achieved phased results.

Therefore, after Fei Yiying was imprisoned, Zhu Qiyu forgave him in view of his contribution to the Ming Dynasty. Of course, Fei Yiying's involvement in the stock split of Merchant Shipbuilding was not a crime in nature, nor did it violate the Ming Dynasty.

law.

Zhu Qiyu knew that Fei Yiying had come to Beijing, but he didn't know much about his situation. He didn't know that Fei Yiying had been abandoned by Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong, and his position as the head of the family and the business manager had been lost.

Yu Qian knew it very well and gave a brief summary of Fei Yiying's situation.

"To take the exam this time, I guess Fei Yiying has figured out what he wants. Otherwise, at this time, Fei Yiying should start a new life in Zhejiang instead of taking the exam in the capital." Yu Qian was a rare speaker for Fei Yiying.

A kind word.

Wang Ao listened quietly. This was a conversation between the emperor and the Minister of Humerus. How could he usually have the opportunity to hear this?

You can't even hear it if you spend money.

Zhu Qiyu nodded. Fei Yiying really wanted to start his business again. In fact, it was not difficult. Even without the support of the Duke of Wei, Fei Yiying was still a very smart businessman.

If you are afraid of embarrassment between Wei Guogong and Henglin Fei, you can go to Guangdong.

Guangzhou Shipping Company was in the ascendant, and Fei Yi should go to Guangzhou Shipping Company to develop. It had great potential, so he split his shares and subscribed for funds. Zhu Qiyu also believed that Fei should be able to get up.

But Fei Yiying still came to the capital and took part in the imperial examination.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the Hanlin and Tai students coming in and out of the Imperial College and the Hanlin Academy, and said with some helplessness: "I found out about the fish nest of the Imperial Academy because my son came to Beijing to take the exam. I want to understand the operation of the Gongyuan and pay attention to the election of the Ming Dynasty.

Yutoshi, but as I looked around, I saw these three streets of luxurious houses."

"I have been staring at this fish nest for a long time, and I even asked Xing'an to send people to buy a house. It's a pity that I'm not qualified."

The reason why he is not qualified is that purchasing a house here requires social status. Specifically, he must be at least the fourth rank of imperial civil and military affairs, or a noble martial artist.

Zhu Qiyu really came to understand the sentiments of the people and found the fish nest, which was an unexpected surprise.

Yu Qian shook his head and said: "I have never paid attention to this matter, and my broker and comprador will not ask me to buy the house here."

When the comprador went to Jiuchongtang to bribe Yu Shaobao, it was almost the same as standing in front of the Zhenfusi Yamen and shouting that he wanted to assassinate the king!

"The affairs of the clan were managed by the clan of the Ming Dynasty. Since the vassal king came to the vassal, the functions of the clan affairs were gradually transferred to the Ministry of Rites. Now that the vassal king has returned to the capital, the affairs of the clan are gradually restored. I have been thinking about it.

Shouldn't we take care of Spyker as well?" Zhu Qiyu mentioned a possibility.

Incorporating Spyker into the management of the Zongren Mansion was one of Zhu Qiyu's considerations. The Ming Dynasty did not have an institution specifically to manage Spyker, so Spyker's education reflected the unevenness of the world.

Zhang Mao, the youngest son of the British Duke Zhang Fu, entered the martial arts hall at the age of nine. He graduated with excellent grades in three years. He went to Kaiping to guard the border at the age of fifteen. He began to fight on the battlefield at the age of sixteen. He made great achievements on the road of converting the Ming Dynasty into Tatars.

Contribution, Shi Heng's list of bandits suppressed by Zhang Mao in Daning Guard was obtained by Zhang Mao who went deep into the prison camp to explore the enemy's situation.

But looking back at Huichang House, the Queen Mother's relatives conspired to rebel and ended up being executed. Yang Hong's eldest son Yang Jie, who inherited the title of Marquis of Changping due to his father's preference, also ended up being deprived of his title, and the title was returned to Yang Jun.

.

This is not surprising.

During the Hongxi, Xuande, and Orthodox dynasties, the political environment was relaxed, and the emperor was more tolerant of his relatives. If a minister made ordinary mistakes, he might be punished, dismissed, and had his salary reduced, but he still retained his title. The consequences of leniency were that his ministers knew the law and broke the law, and regarded the king's law as if it were nothing.

Act recklessly and boldly.

Violating the etiquette of no one, and repeatedly committing treacherous acts, this is the current situation of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts.

The Zongren Mansion is gradually improving its functions, from simply managing the royal family's history and compiling jade certificates, to adding many more abilities.

It lays down the memorial for Zhaomu, prefaces the titles and ranks, and the Li sect, applies for teachings and precepts, discusses rewards and punishments, and prefaces the concubines, births and deaths, marriages, official titles, and posthumous titles; it also examines the order of inheritance, rank, salary, etc., as well as support, benefits, and other matters.

.

With so many functions, it is natural to add Tang Guan, a subordinate official.

Zhu Qiyu was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the Zongren Mansion was the institution that managed the clans of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Qiyu did his best to serve as the Zongren Order, which was the highest-level official of the Zongren Mansion of the Ming Dynasty.

"I think it is very good." Yu Qian knew very well about the recent expansion of the Zongren Mansion. Because of Yu Qian and the Zongren Mansion, Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao's office was in an attic.

The crime rate among the Ming Dynasty's nobles continues to rise, and the things some of the Ming Dynasty's nobles did are really beneath the status of the Ming Dynasty's nobles.

For example, Fengrun Bo Cao Zhen, Xiuwu Bo Shen Yu, and Taining Marquis Chen Huan allowed three people to commit adultery, mix with monks and prostitutes, and drink alcohol. The censor of the Imperial Procuratorate found out, and the censor of Zuo Du, He Zhang, impeached the three of them.

Zhu Qiyu originally thought it was because of drunkenness and immorality, so he was sentenced to a fine of one year and was not allowed to hold any ministry. However, Lu Zhong went to find out more about it and realized that it was not as simple as a simple mix of monks and prostitutes drinking.

The matter is more complicated. To put it simply, under the auspices of the monks, these three people gathered nearly a hundred people and held an unobstructed meeting similar to the Sea and Sky Feast in later generations.

Shi caught him right.

Zhu Qiyu changed the sentence and dismissed the three men, and their heirs inherited the title, and the three guards were stationed in Jiaozhi.

Although the Ming Dynasty lost Jiaozhi, it still retained the Jiaozhi establishment. There were still three guards stationed near the ten-story mountain in Jiaozhi. The Li Dynasty in Jiaozhi carried out an attack on the three guards for more than ten years. However, due to the terrain and fighting will, etc.

Unable to succeed due to various reasons.

Therefore, bringing the nobles and relatives into the management of the clan government was Zhu Qiyu's attempt to manage the nobles of the Ming Dynasty.

At least we won't let them embarrass the Ming Dynasty like this.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" Xing'an shook his fly whisk and shouted loudly.

Zhu Qiyu walked into the Ten Calendar Offices and saw Xu Dun, the imperial eunuch, and Beilin, the astronomy student, and others who had been waiting for them for a long time.

Xu Dun led more than a dozen officials from Qin Tian Jian and dozens of officials to greet him with a great ceremony.

"I pay homage to your Majesty, long live your Majesty." The etiquette of Xu Dun and others was extremely thorough.

Today is a day to offer auspiciousness, so it must be solemn. Moreover, Xu Dun applied for a merit plaque and hoped that His Majesty would approve it, so he was extra serious.

Even though he did not get this miraculous merit card, but according to the Ming Dynasty Emperor's past generosity, it was not a big deal that every person in the Qintian Prison had one miraculous merit medal.

"Excuse me, it seems that Supervisor Xu is bound to win. As soon as I entered the door, you picked me up?" Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand with a smile, gesturing for everyone to stand up.

Xu Dun bowed his head and said, "I don't dare."

"What are you going to offer today? Such a big battle?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Qin Tianjian, who was dressed in red and colorful. Even the auspicious omen he wanted to offer were covered with bright red silk cloth.

Xu Dun straightened his voice and said in a cadence: "The Yellow Emperor came to rule the world, and the Queen Mother took advantage of it to present her ring. Once she arrived at the court, she was honored in the book of the ages. I respectfully met your Majesty, and sent a letter to the three extremes. I took pictures of thousands of people."

Spirit, God bless the Ming Dynasty to obtain this divine object!"

"I would like to congratulate Your Majesty."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Xu Dun's serious look, shook his head and said: "Stop flattering me. You invented this thing. I just paid some money. What is it? It's mysterious and exciting."

"Your Majesty, please come with me." Xu Dun actually prepared a lot of chatter, but seeing that Your Majesty didn't like to hear it, he stopped abruptly and led His Majesty and his entourage into the courtyard.

"Before taking off the red silk, Rong Chen said a few words." Xu Dun said again, but this time it was no longer a compliment, but a story about the auspiciousness under the red cloth.

Just as later generations of start-up companies need to tell a good story when seeking investment, the auspiciousness Xu Dun wants to offer naturally also has a story.

"Zhan Zhongnuo is from Songjiang Prefecture and is a spinner. When he went home on July 5, the fifth year of Jingtai, Zhan Zhongnuo kicked over his wife's spinning wheel. After the spinning wheel was kicked over, it fell to the ground.

But the spinning wheel is still spinning, but the spindle has become upright."

"Zhan Zhongnuo had an idea. He arranged several spindles vertically and drove them with a spinning wheel. Wouldn't it be possible to spin more yarn?"

Zhu Qiyu felt that this story was unusually familiar for some reason. He thought about it for a while and understood the violation in this story, which was the accident that Zhan Zhongnuo kicked over the spinning wheel.

Many inventions and creations like to be called accidents. For example, the discovery of penicillin and the manufacturing process of stainless steel all appeared by accident.

Obviously, the entire Ming Dynasty was engaged in the improvement of spinning wheels. For Xu Dun to offer it so solemnly, it must have gone through repeated improvements, and it was definitely not an accident. But when telling stories, there is no coincidence in writing.

Xu Dun said with a heavy face: "Many textile households in handicraft workshops have felt the panic caused by this new equipment with eight spindles. Zhan Zhongnuo can spin as much yarn in one day as others can in eight days. In some workshop owners,

Under the instructions of Zhan Zhongnuo, some textile farmers rushed into Zhan Zhongnuo’s home and destroyed Zhan Zhongnuo’s spinning wheel.”

There are villains in any story.

However, Xu Dun did not place the blame for destroying the spinning wheels on the incited and blind textile households, but on the workshop owners who instigated them.

This is a typical narrative style of the Jingtai period. When the scabs appeared, were they the scabs themselves, or were they instigated by others?

Your Majesty is always aware of the sentiments of the people and understands this very well.

Cheating the emperor is a serious crime that can lead to beheading.
