The early winter in Jinling is not cold. Yes, at least the people who stayed in the room felt that it was not cold.

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

Duoke was drinking tea, and the tea in Jinling seemed to be more fragrant than that in Peking, but they said it was because the water was better.

The north is bitter and cold, and the water is hard.

The south is warm and the mountains and rivers are pleasant.

But he tried it and the wind blew in the courtyard for a quarter of an hour and suddenly felt the bones were chilling.

Rough and soft.

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

"How long will we wait?"

Although the Ming people prohibited them from going out alone, they did not restrict their movements in the inn.

Abel also lost the confidence of the so-called "allies", and he wants to return home now.

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

Dock sarcastically, seeing Abel being a little dull, he couldn't help but say depressedly: "At present, we have to wait for the Ming people's decision, but Chen is gone. When he is in the capital, he often comes to take a bath, which is disgusting. But now he is not here. What does this mean?"

"This means Mingren doesn't have to perfunctory us anymore."

Henry came in outside the door. He was wearing a robe of a Mingren and still felt uncomfortable when he walked around.

As soon as he came in, he rubbed his hands and said, "The winter here will not be better. I have a premonition that we cannot leave until spring comes."

Abel sighed, "Then do whatever you want, they don't want to kill me anyway."

Dock sneered, "After killing me, you can't survive in order to silence you."

...

"Western envoys are purchasing, and the Thai envoys are staring at the streets once. They are a little unhappy when they come back, but the officials don't care. They calm down afterwards."

The serious Chen Mo made Fang Xing feel uncomfortable. But Chen Mo almost got scared to death after being stared at by the people from the East Factory last time. He has been very serious recently.

"I'm optimistic about them, remember that except Confucianism, they are not allowed to buy or collect any books. Once discovered, they will be taken back immediately. For this reason... it's okay to see blood, and you will be rewarded without guilt."

Fang Xing looked up and happened to see Chen Mo smiling flatteringly.

Familiar and vulgar!

Fang Xing felt better, so he ordered: "It's still some time before going out to sea. If you want to go home and have a look, I will make the decision and give you a long vacation."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Brother, you must not be a senior official at work, you must not be a lie!"

This guy is a hand-off manager! His wife and children at home don’t care at all, but they don’t have enough money or food.

Fang Xing suppressed the strange guess and said, "Since that's the case, you can do whatever you want."

After Chen Mo left, Liu Pu said he wanted to go to the shipyard to take a look.

...

The Li Family Workshop is a rising star in Jinling. Since the commercial restrictions have been gradually lifted in the late Yongle period, the Li Family Workshop has developed from scratch and from small to large.

By the time of Xuande, the business environment became even more relaxed. The Li family’s workshops in the city were not enough, so they built a new workshop outside the city, specializing in ironwork.

The workshops in the city are specially designed to create high-quality products, so the guards are very strict, and they are afraid that other people will come to learn secretly.

It is said to be a workshop, but it looks similar to a human settlement outside, but it only covers a lot of land.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Emperor Yiwei Fei Shi."

The door opened, and the owner of the workshop, Li Ji, had his legs soft and he rushed Fang Xing and others in.

"Boe is awake.... Hey hey! Hold him!"

Fang Xinggang introduced himself, and when he looked at the strong Li Ji's eyes turned pale and he fell backwards.

This was the first time Fang Xing saw Fei Shi taking action, but he was just 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 slowly. After seeing Fang Xing, he shrank back like a demon.

"Brother Ben is not here to search the house!"

Fang Xing was comforting her face with a black look, but Li Ji was still scared. Fei Shi shouted, "Who was scared by me? Tell me, I will make the decision for you."

Li Ji looked at Fang Xing timidly, Fei Shi touched the hilt of the knife, his eyes became colder, which made him speak.

"Brother, some people say... you want to suppress business..."

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

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

"It's... I'm drinking the day before yesterday, and everyone saw those who were searched..."

“Those are gentry.”

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

"It's purely a rumor!"

Fang Xing comforted Li Ji without moving. Seeing that Fei Shi had arranged for someone to investigate, he couldn't help but nod.

He always felt that the Ming Dynasty was not short of talents, but only the atmosphere of making talents emerge and being reused.

There are brick houses inside, with several large water tanks placed outside the house and a few piles of sand and soil next to it.

"Brother, I'm prepared for fear of fire."

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

"This is good, so be prepared for any trouble!"

Fang Xing praised and then entered.

It's not small inside, and as soon as you enter the door, a wave of heat comes to you.

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

Seeing Li Ji bringing people in, the craftsmen just glanced at them and continued to work.

“Good rules.”

Fang Xing walked to the edge of a work station and watched two craftsmen pounding a slender thing.

This is a pipe, and it has been almost done.

Not long after, a craftsman pulled out something from the edge of the pipe, then took a curved, thinner iron pipe and knocked it into the gap. After cooling, he scooped up the liquefied thing that was not known as steel or iron and poured it.

"Thermal expansion and contraction? Interesting."

Fang Xing's words made Li Ji's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Brother, these craftsmen all know this truth. Later, after reading your science, everyone realized it was called thermal expansion and contraction..."

"Is it my uncle?"

These two craftsmen had long seen Fang Xing's identity and wealth. After hearing about science, they were overjoyed.

Fang Xing was overjoyed.

The craftsman buried the iron pipe into a pile of fine things on the side that were unknown.

Then the two knelt down together, and immediately made the other craftsmen stop their work.

There is less knocking sound in the room, only the occasional crackling of flames and the sound of some workpiece stress changes.

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

Being kneeled down and worshipped can make people feel happy. If you spend a long time, you may even have the idea of ​​being a god, and the rest are mortals.

Seeing Fang Xing frowned, Li Ji hurriedly cursed: "Kneel down, get up quickly."

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

This is the capitalist!

Fang Xing's face gradually became cold, and Wang Heli shouted: "Who are you scolding?"

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

"Are they craftsmen?"

Fang Xing asked, his face light, as if he was indifferent.

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

I've flattered the wrong place!

Li Ji was stunned and said, "No, no, uncle, how can you use craftsmen for a young man?"

Craftsmen are under the control and assigned by the government, and private workshops are not qualified to use them.

Fang Xing said lightly: "You didn't live such a good life before, but later you relaxed the conditions. 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 policy, this is Bo Ye..."

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

Fang Xing ignored him and asked the two craftsmen.

Li Ji was very embarrassed and saw that the two craftsmen dared not say anything, so he prepared to answer.

"The master didn't let you talk! If you talk more, just..."

Xiaodao glanced at Li Ji, his eyes turned red.

"It's hot inside, accompany Xiaodao to go out and have a breath of wind."

Xin Laoqi knew that Xiaodao was sick, probably because he remembered the miserable he was when he was a child, so he pointed outside and asked someone to accompany him out.
Chapter completed!
