Chapter 244: Interlude 2

Zhejiang Hangzhou Shen Yishi Weaving Workshop. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Yang Jinshui, Zheng Michang, and He Maocai, who appeared here, were in a good mood, and they were led by a middle-aged man wearing a blue coarse cloth robe and flat black cloth shoes, who was smiling and leading them in through the door.

This is perhaps the largest silk weaving workshop in the Ming Dynasty. At a glance, there are six looms one zhang wide in a row, and there is a passage in the middle for two people to pass side by side; Walking along the passage to the end, there are twenty rows of looms in rows. Each loom is weaving silk of different colors, and the sound of weaving comes and goes.

The middle-aged man led Yang Jinshui and his party from one end of the passage to the other.

"How many horses can be produced every day when weaving like this?" Due to the loud sound of the loom, Yang Jinshui's raised voice became sharper.

"It's twelve hours now, and I change two shifts." The middle-aged man also replied loudly, "A machine can weave six feet a day." ā€

"Weaving like this every day, such a workshop can last 8,000 horses a year?" Yang Jinshui asked sharply again.

Middle-aged man: "Yes." I have twenty-five workshops, and I weave like this, and I can't reach 200,000 a year. ā€

As they spoke, the group walked towards the other end of the passage.

Zhejiang Governor's Office signed the detention room

"At this time, I can't leave." Tan Lun looked at Hu Zongxian, who was sitting there, and said, "It's really the day when the court wants to investigate it, I, Tan Lun, will be here, and there will be no crime against you Hu Ruzhen." ā€

"Alas!" Hu Zongxian sighed, "Ten years have passed, and you Tan Lun still haven't grown." I don't know why Prince Yu thinks so highly of you. ā€

Tan Lun was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Are you saying that I haven't learned the 'think twice for an official'?" ā€

Hu Zongxian looked at him fixedly, and after a long time, he said slowly: "What are you talking about 'thinking about danger, thinking about retreat, and thinking about change'?" ā€

Tan Lun didn't answer, but also looked at him fixedly.

Hu Zongxian: "Then I'll tell you, I, Hu Zongxian, have no way out, and there is nothing to change." ā€

Tan Lun: "Don't you understand the current trend?" Here is this second-grade Chen Ke, their Yan family can't get better! ā€

"The Yan family can't get better, and you King Yu can't please either." Hu Zongxian's words were uttered almost word by word.

Tan Lun was stunned at first, and then a complicated loss appeared on his face: "Why do you say that?" ā€

Hu Zongxian: "The emperor is getting younger and younger, and the entire Ming officialdom knows about this." Now that this Chen Ke is released, it is obvious that the emperor wants to take back the power in his hands. ā€

Tan Lun came up in a breath.

"Listen to me." Hu Zongxian then said, "This time the matter is too big. It's not just that the Yan family wants to wrestle with Chen Ke, I think this Chen Ke probably wants to lift the stage. You don't really think that the robbery of Hangzhou's wealthy family is as simple as that, right? ā€

Tan Lun was stunned again, and looked at Hu Zongxian fixedly, showing confusion in his eyes.

Hu Zongxian no longer looked at him, and said to himself: "The government and the opposition know that I am the person promoted by Yan Ge. After thousands of generations, it will be written in the history books that I am Yan Ge's old person. I understand what you mean by coming to me. As a matter of common sense, you're doing a good job. It's just that now, the way of this world is not according to common sense. This Chen Ke who suddenly appeared is not as simple as you think! Now, don't talk about Yan Ge Lao, it's Xu Cifu, even if it's King Yu, I think it's dangerous! ā€

Tan Lun was shocked.

Hu Zongxian: "You all think you know people and think you know the situation, but how many people really know people and really know the situation?" Let's just say that the current trend caused by the national policy of changing rice to mulberry, so many people want to use this opportunity to annex the land, if it weren't for Chen Keqiang blocking Yan Gelao, I am afraid that half of the people in Zhejiang will lose their fields. So many people who have no land gather in this place of seven mountains, two rivers and one field, this year will not be opposed, next year will not be reversed, the year after tomorrow, and the year after tomorrow will be reversed! As for the robbery of the wealthy in Hangzhou, it is nothing. They just lost some floating money, people were fine, and business was fine. Tan Lun, I advise you. Don't go against that Chen Ke, if you go against him, you will go against the emperor. ā€

Tan Lun was stunned for a long time before he said, "You can explain ...... clearly"

Hu Zongxian: "You don't think that Chen Ke doesn't know that I have you by my side, right?" He's in charge of the factory guards. If you don't come, he will at most clean up our officialdom in Zhejiang. It's not nice to say, that is, Yan Ge's old person. If you plug in now, he might follow the pole and hit the idea of the people of your Yuwang Mansion! ā€

Speaking of this, Hu Zongxian picked up the approved transcript on the case and lit it up, "Because you are here, now, this matter is no longer involving the wrestling between the emperor and the elder, but the emperor, the elder, and the king of Yu are all involved!" ā€

Tan Lun was silent again.

Hu Zongxian slowly put the notebook back on the table: "I can't control my subordinates now." It can be seen from Ma Ningyuan's incident this time, they have their own ideas. Chen Ke wanted to do something, I couldn't stop it. ā€

Zhejiang Shen Yishi workshop living room

Yang Jinshui and his entourage were led here again by the middle-aged man.

This living room was probably one of the largest living rooms in Suzhou and Hangzhou at that time. Above the north wall, there is a rosewood coffee table with a marble surface, a rosewood carved wreath chair on each side, and eight rosewood chairs with a coffee table on each side. The rarest thing is the ground, a single color of marble, each of which is inlaid with marble broken stars.

As soon as the group walked into the hall, the middle-aged man clapped his hands, and immediately countless servants walked lightly from the small doors on both sides of the tea table with tea sets to set up tea sets.

Middle-aged man: "Master Zheng will accompany Father-in-law Yang to take a seat." ā€

Zheng Michang: "You talk to Gonggong Yang, you can sit on it." With that, he sat down on the top chair on the left.

He Maocai sat down on the chair on the top right.

Yang Jinshui sat down on the chair on the left side of the center, and then waved his hand: "You are the master, just sit here." ā€

The middle-aged man smiled and bowed: "Okay, I'll talk to the adults." As he spoke, he sat down on the chair on the right side of the center.

At this time, four capable male servants came out, carrying four shiny copper kettles, walked lightly to the coffee table behind each person, opened the bowl, and the copper kettle tilted, and several lines of steaming water were poured into each person's bowl at the same time.

The tips of the green buds of a flag and a gun slowly floated up to the surface of the bowl, and they all floated there vertically.

Yang Jinshui's nose sucked in: "This tea is good!" ā€

The middle-aged man smiled: "The first crop of this year's Shifeng Longjing was picked in time for the dew buds at night." ā€

Yang Jinshui, Zheng Michang, and He Maocai all picked up the tea bowl and took a sip gently.

"Okay." Zheng Michang praised.

"It's top-notch." He Maocai followed and praised.

Middle-aged man: "The production is small, and two catties are prepared for Gonggong Lu, the elder of the pavilion, and the elder of the small pavilion, and the adults are wronged, and each of them is prepared with one catty." ā€

Yang Jinshui held the tea bowl, glanced at the middle-aged man, and found that there was a bowl of white water on the coffee table in front of him: "What about yourself?" ā€

The middle-aged man smiled: "I'm used to it, I like to drink plain water." ā€

"Don't you see, they're all people who can't get along with themselves." Yang Jinshui put the tea bowl on the coffee table and looked at the middle-aged man with a smile, "Three thousand looms, tens of thousands of acres of mulberry fields, and hundreds of silk and tea shops, drinking white water and eating fast all day long, and wearing coarse cloth clothes, who are you looking for?" ā€œ

Middle-aged man: "The lady who sells oil combs her hair." These weaving machines of mine are all for the weaving bureau. One day, Gonggong Yang looked at me and kicked me, and I can still live. ā€

This middle-aged man is Shen Yishi, the richest man in Zhejiang, and he also lost a lot of money in Tan Ke's sweep a few days ago.
