Chapter 208 The Artisan Problem

PreviousBack to directoryNext
"Brother Emperor, this recipe belongs to me."

King Zhongshun is not willing to give up this recipe. If the recipe is successful, there will be no worries about sales. The wool felt in the grassland can be used to keep out the cold, and wool clothes can naturally be used to keep out the cold.

The emperor said: "This is related to the stability of Northern Xinjiang and is not a child's play."

Zhongshun said: "You should leave it to me when it comes to the stability of Northern Xinjiang. Who else can you trust more than me?"

Next, Wang Tingxuan saw the ability of Prince Zhongshun, and finally persuaded the emperor to agree and gave him a third-level membership.

The emperor explained: "This matter is not trivial. You must not take it for granted."

King Zhongshun got the prescription and said happily: "Brother, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it myself and I promise I'll get it out soon."

The emperor was still worried and said: "Remember to keep it confidential."

Zhongshun was puzzled: "Isn't it just clothes? Why should I keep this secret?"

Wang Tingxuan watched from the side and didn't know whether Prince Zhongshun really didn't know or was pretending not to know. His behavior made the emperor feel relieved.

In fact, this is a very clear thing. If there are more sheep on the grassland, there will naturally be fewer herdsmen raising horses. Without strength, how can the grassland people come to Chu to plunder.

Moreover, the grasslands do not have the conditions to produce wool. They can only rely on the Chu State, which is equivalent to the Chu State holding the lifeblood of the grasslands. It will be very difficult for the herdsmen and grassland nobles who are accustomed to stability to resist the Chu State.

The emperor briefly told Prince Zhongshun.

Prince Zhongshun said: "Brother, the current textile machine alone cannot achieve the effect you want."

Yes, if the herders on the grasslands start raising sheep, a large amount of wool will inevitably be purchased, and the court must ensure that it has the ability to process this wool.

The emperor looked at Wang Tingxuan again and asked, "What good ideas do you have?"

Wang Tingxuan has a good idea, but it is really not suitable to bring it out now, as it can easily be suspected. Don't underestimate the emperor's suspicion.

But the idea still had to come up. Wang Tingxuan said: "Aren't there many craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry? They have no way to improve textile technology."

Prince Zhongshun said: "For those officials, what else can they do besides asking for money?"

Wang Tingxuan said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I was responsible for the production of glass last time and found that the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry are still very capable."

Prince Zhongshun said: "You were deceived. In order to complete the tasks arranged by the emperor brother, they specially brought out the best craftsmen. But there are only so many good craftsmen in the Ministry of Works. Those people are all in the glass factory,

Can you let them out?"

Of course not, and the emperor will not allow it. The reason why they are not allowed to come out now is to keep it secret. Once others get the secret recipe, how can the emperor make a fortune? Those noble princes, relying on the emperor, will not care about the emperor's attitude at all.

They could even unite with the officials in the court to force the emperor to give up this business on the grounds of competing with the people.

Wang Tingxuan said: "Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on with the Ministry of Works, but I know that those craftsmen are definitely not the people you said. I think it's because of unfair rewards and punishments. When results are achieved, it's the officials of the Ministry of Works who get the rewards.

When things don't get done, the craftsmen are the first to be punished. In such an environment, they have no choice but to obey orders."

"Take glass manufacturing as an example. At the beginning, I told them that as long as they make novel things, they will be rewarded heavily. I did the same. As for the result, the emperor also knew it, and he also praised their craftsmanship.

Superb.”

The emperor nodded and said, "That's right. I also have a few exquisite items in my collection here."

Wang Tingxuan continued: "There must be brave men under heavy rewards. Your Majesty might as well tell the craftsmen directly that as long as they make something useful, they will be rewarded heavily. If Your Majesty personally pays them rewards, I believe they will do something that will shock Your Majesty."

Something.”

In the final analysis, it is the middlemen such as officials who earn too much and cannot give full play to the enthusiasm of the craftsmen.

The matter ends here, everything will have to wait until the wool textile is made to be convincing.

At this time, letters from Jia Mu in the capital also arrived in Yangzhou, one was for Jia Lian and the others, and the other was for Lin Ruhai.

The letter to Jia Lian and others was full of blame and disappointment, and told them that they must take Lin Daiyu home.

Of course, Aunt Lai and Zhou Rui's family also received their master's letter at the same time.

Jia Lian asked: "Mama Lai, Sister-in-law Zhou, please tell us what we should do."

Aunt Lai was from Jia Mu, and she had the task of bringing Lin Daiyu back. She said: "Second Master, Uncle Lin's health has recovered, and we should go back to Beijing. Why don't we ask someone to ask Miss Lin about it?"

Opinion?"

Zhou Rui's family has the least task. They only need to take the Lin family's property back. Of course, it is best not to take Lin Daiyu with them.

But the Zhou Rui family is also the one who wants to go back the most, because no one from the Jia family dares to disobey Mrs. Wang’s orders. They have done a lot for the Lin family’s property. The Zhou Rui family doesn’t believe that Lin Ruhai will give

Mrs. Wang’s face.

Zhou Ruijia said: "Isn't Zijuan by Miss Lin's side? Let someone ask her."

It was not easy for the Jia family to enter the backyard, but they had no problem seeing Zijuan.

After Zijuan got the letter, she didn't dare to delay, and told the visitor everything. No one dared to hide this matter, and she had to tell the old lady.

Jia Lian was stunned at first, and then his face turned red with shame. This is the so-called girl who takes care of others, and she almost killed others.

Thinking of the old lady telling him to take Sister Lin back, Jia Lian couldn't help but complain in his heart that he was treating Uncle Lin as a fool.

If you want the Lin family's property, just marry someone else's girl outright, otherwise it's over. The Lin family only has a single seedling, Lin Daiyu, and she's not bad at growing up. It's more than enough to match Jia Baoyu. You don't have to worry about planning someone else's property.

?

It's good now that Lin Ruhai is in good health. The things they did were unjustifiable, but they were actually found out about such things. How could they still have the dignity to stay in the Lin family?

Jia Lian knew in his heart that the issue of Ginseng Yangrong Pills was mostly Mrs. Wang's idea. As for whether Jia Mu knew about it, Jia Lian couldn't guess. But no matter whose idea it was, he couldn't go to Lin Ruhai and explain it.

Jia Lian then called Aunt Lai and Zhou Rui's family over and said, "I have no shame in telling my uncle that I am taking Sister Lin back. If any of you are brave, go and find your uncle."

Aunt Lai said: "Second Master, this is the old lady's instructions. If you fail to complete the task and Second Master Bao makes trouble in front of the old lady, we will not get any good results."

People from Zhou Rui's family also said: "Yes, Second Master. Second Master Bao specially told Miss Lin to send Ginseng Yangrong Pills, which shows how much he cares for Miss Lin."

Jia Lian could hold back at first and didn't want to offend them, but now he couldn't care less.

"You think I don't know what's going on with the Ginseng Yangrong Pills. Go back and explain this matter to the old lady yourself. Sister-in-law Zhou, I advise you to put away the Ginseng Yangrong Pills, otherwise no one will save you."

It won’t kill you.”

When Jia Lian saw that the expressions of Aunt Lai and Zhou Rui's family changed at the same time, she felt even more uncomfortable. Could it be that both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang knew the inside story of Ginseng Yangrong Pills?

Lin Daiyu is the niece of the Jia family. Do you just expect her to die?
