Chapter 828 Everyone is responsible for restraining the cottage
Emperor Chengsheng nodded: "Fuyan gets up and speaks."
Yan Shiyue thanked her and stood up, first explained the matter in detail, and then turned sideways and asked the officials: "Are you wearing the clothes that I sent to you?"
All the officials told the truth one after another, and Yan Shiyue asked again: "Can it be frivolous or warm?"
Of course everyone said it was warm.
Emperor Chengsheng was the first to try it on, and he also felt it was light and warm.
Then Yan Shiyue asked people to bring up the piece that Shen Yu brought back, and asked people to pass it around to look at it, and said: "The eldest princess bought the people from the Shangbu breeding farm, but she knew it and didn't know why. She bought such a strange thing, and sold it publicly under the name of our commercial department, which harmed the reputation of our commercial department. Moreover, the commercial department has a clear law: "If it is made by the Ministry of Commerce, counterfeiting will be punished." She knowingly committed this. If people are not punished, they will not be able to restrain the people in the future. I ask the emperor to punish them severely to serve as a warning to others."
Emperor Chengsheng nodded slowly.
Yan Shiyue said to the superior again: "I and Si Nian have also made mistakes in this matter. Please punish me severely."
Qu Sinian hurriedly knelt down and confessed his guilt.
Emperor Chengsheng said: "The control of the Ministry of Commerce is extremely tight, so that these people can't be bribed, so they created such a strange thing. It's very rare and valuable, what's the crime?"
All the officials also tried to persuade him.
Yan Shiyue said a few more modest words before admitting it, and then said: "I didn't consider this matter carefully. I take it for granted at this time. If these clothes are sold, there will definitely be more. When the time comes, The winter warm robes on the market are of mixed quality, but not beautiful."
She really felt that she had not thought carefully this time.
After all, down jackets are too easy to imitate. You can make a similar one by taking it apart, but it feels very different when you put it on. So I decided to change it based on this, and blame Princess Jiahui for it.
She continued, "Therefore, in my opinion, the Ministry of Commerce will no longer make winter warm robes, and will only sell down filling machines, which are machines for this purpose. Buy the machines and give them the technology, and let a group of merchants do it, and everything will flourish. It's just that. We will definitely lose some funds, as well as the existing cash..." She looked at Emperor Chengsheng.
The brother and sister had already discussed this matter in private, and Emperor Chengsheng said: "That's fine. As for the existing ones in the Shang Department... all those in the palace are ministers of our court, and the existing ones in the Shang Department are made for the palace and the court. Just a winter robe."
"I obey the decree."
When all the officials heard this, they picked up their clothes in vain.
The key is not the clothes, but that the money is equivalent to taking out from the national treasury! It is inevitable that I am too cautious, and I don't care that the person who committed the crime is also a princess, so I just roll up my sleeves and criticize him.
In the end, Emperor Cheng Sheng decreed that Princess Jiahui be demoted to a commoner, and all the other people involved were killed.
Therefore, Miserable was regarded as a typical Princess Jiahui. She didn't know what happened to her. She didn't wait until she had a fight with Yan Shiyue in person, she didn't chant and beat her, and she didn't come and start any performances... she got a decree directly. The identity of the princess was gone, and several servants around her were dragged over and beaten to death on the spot.
Listening to the crackling sound, Princess Jiahui's almond-shaped eyes widened, and her mood, to use a word from later generations to describe it, was that of a dazzling trance...
She couldn't understand why it happened all of a sudden?
When she came back to her senses, she made a fuss and wanted to see him, but Emperor Chengsheng also saw her. He only said to her: "For the sake of relatives, I have opened up a wide range of things. You can take care of yourself. From now on, Even common people are no longer qualified to enter the palace."
Princess Jiahui didn't even know how she came out.
But for Yan Shiyue, I won't offend others unless they offend me. If you come to my door, I won't be polite. It is everyone's responsibility to suppress copycats!
In fact, the copycats were under the imperial power, so it was relatively easy to control them. So local governments quickly issued notices.
First of all, he said that the so-called fluffy cotton robes recently were secretly sold by Princess Jiahui, which damaged the reputation of the Ministry of Commerce and had been demoted to a common people. They were also disposed of by others. At the same time, he once again emphasized that "counterfeiting ordered by the Ministry of Commerce will be investigated" and said that craftsmen from all over the country
Don't focus on imitation, let a hundred flowers bloom.
By the way, what the Ministry of Commerce wants to do is completely different from this. In order to maintain customers, the Ministry of Commerce has decided not to make winter warm robes, but only sells machines. Interested merchants can go to Chang'an City, where the Ministry of Commerce sells machines and provides education and training.
.
As soon as he heard that this notice was issued, the craftsman from Jizhou secretly dismantled the spinning wheel and burned it.
After all, the emperor's relatives have been punished, who else dares to commit crimes?
Then the Ministry of Commerce quickly signed contracts with several cloth shops and garment shops in Chang'an City such as Jinxiu Division, Mengji, and Yuefang. Later, bold businessmen from all over the country came over. After passing the inspection, they signed several more contracts.
Moreover, Yan Shiyue emphasized the "brand" awareness, and Yuefang designed a brand logo first, which will be put on the clothes. Other places will naturally follow the same example.
When Yan Shiyue returned to the Ministry of Commerce, Xiao Tangzhi was studying the down filling machine in the workshop.
He had already brought out his apprentice, so he could get away from the weird house, so he started to study new things.
But for a geek like him, the principle of the down filling machine was obvious at a glance, so he quickly lost interest. When he turned around, he saw Yan Shiyue standing not far away, looking at him quietly.
Xiao Tangzhi hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Yan Shiyue nodded.
Xiao Tangzhi raised his head carefully and looked at her expression.
She felt as if she was hesitant about something.
Then Yan Shiyue asked: "Do you want to be an official?"
"I don't want to," Xiao Tangzhi said, "I am alone. It doesn't matter whether I am an official or not. This is not my ambition."
Yan Shiyue nodded.
She slowly walked out with her hands behind her back, and Xiao Tangzhi followed silently. When she reached the entrance of the store, a carriage passed by, and occasionally a Yuwen car passed by.
Yan Shiyue said: "Actually, we can go faster."
Xiao Tangzhi nodded, and she added: "The water mill uses water power, the windmill uses wind power, and the Yuwen chariot uses human power... Do you know what mechanical power is?"
Xiao Tangzhi turned to look at her, and felt his heart skip a beat, as if a door was opening in front of him. What was inside the door was something new and interesting that he had never heard of before.
Yan Shiyue hesitated.
She was thinking of steam engines.
The emergence of the steam engine triggered the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century and dominated the industry for two centuries.
After all, there are still many people in the world who don't have enough to eat. She doesn't want to take too big a step forward, so even if she builds it, it won't be popular. However, as a huge symbol and for future research, she can start now.
Try your hand.
She finally made up her mind: "Tangzhi, come with me."
She told him in detail.
The principle of a steam engine is not complicated. In fact, it is mainly a boiler that boils water to produce high-pressure steam. It can not only be used in cars, trains, and ships... but these can be used as a development direction. In the future, maybe one day, they can build railways.
, build a train.
It seems very far away in imagination, but in fact, it is not far away when actually done. (To be continued)
