Chapter 345, the crooked prince
If you look at it, you will be wasted as soon as you do it~"
"It's really easier said than done."
Liu Jin stretched his waist and looked at the drawings in his hand, although there was a gold finger, it was much easier to open and hang, but Liu Jin, a later generation, wanted to make this Jenny spinning machine, which still made Liu Jin suffer a lot.
A lot of things that seem easy are actually hard to do.
For this new spinning machine, Liu Jin has been busy for more than half a month, and the drawings have been drawn a lot, so he barely got the drawings of the new spinning machine, and almost figured out the new spinning machine.
"Brother Liu, what are you painting?"
At this time, Wang Shouren came over and looked at Liu Jin's drawings very curiously, everyone had nothing to do, so they would also find something to pass the time.
Wang Shouren has been observing Liu Jin for a while, and this Liu Jin has no interest in the Four Books and Five Classics at all, so he can't read books at all, and has been writing and painting all the time.
"I'm working on a new spinning machine~"
Liu Jin smiled and showed his drawings to Wang Shouren.
"A new spinning machine?"
Wang Shouren looked at Liu Jin's drawings carefully, and said very suspiciously, he is a person who is good at thinking and loves to learn, he is interested in new things, and he is very knowledgeable.
"Yes, the spinning machines and looms we use now are so slow that one person can only weave a little more than one piece of cloth a month."
"So I wondered if I could create a new type of loom that could weave a few pieces of cloth a day."
Liu Jin nodded and said with a smile.
"How many pieces of cloth does a man weave in a day?"
Wang Shouren's eyes widened slightly, feeling that Liu Jin's boasting was a bit excessive, and bragging didn't bring such bragging.
However, he also knows that Liu Jin is a person, he is a son of a master, and every time he acts unexpectedly, it may really be possible to develop such a spinning machine.
"If such a spinning machine can really be developed, then I will never have to bear human clothes from now on."
Wang Shouren thought about it and praised.
"I've almost researched it, and I'll make it in a while, and then I'll invite Brother Wang to come over and take a look."
Liu Jin smiled and said, if Wang Shouren can be fooled into science and technology, it seems that it is better than letting him study psychology.
"Okay, then I'll see."
Wang Shouren nodded solemnly, he actually didn't understand, why Liu Jin, the champion of the Yuanlang, would be keen on such a side-by-side way, for them, noble Hanlin and scholars, shouldn't they study the words of the sage every day, study the history books and the like, so as to better assist the king?
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao walked in with his little follower Liu Jin, and as soon as the person arrived at the door, Zhu Houzhao's loud voice shouted.
"Lao Liu, Lao Liu~"
"Ministers greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince~"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao coming to the Hanlin Academy, the entire Hanlin Academy was alarmed, and everyone hurriedly greeted him respectfully.
"Excuse me, excuse me, everyone is busy, I just came to find Liu Jin."
Zhu Houzhao has always disliked these red tapes, so he sent the others away with a wave of his hand and found Liu Jin directly.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince~"
In the officialdom, it is natural to pay attention to it, and you can't let people impeach you for not understanding the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, so Liu Jin also saluted Zhu Houzhao very respectfully.
"Exempt~ exempt."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and sat down on Liu Jin's desk with a big grin, and his little eyes immediately saw the drawings on the table, and he immediately came to his senses.
"Lao Liu, what are you studying?"
"This looks a little weird, what is it?"
"Back to Your Highness, this is the new spinning machine I have studied, which can greatly speed up the efficiency of spinning and weaving."
Liu Jin replied respectfully, and then gave Zhu Houzhao a look you know, and Zhu Houzhao immediately smiled happily.
"Yes, yes, I thought you weren't doing your job here in the Hanlin Academy, but I didn't expect you to do something."
Zhu Houzhao's words also surprised Wang Shouren, Lun Wenxu, Liu Long, Feng Xi and others on the side, in their opinion, Liu Jin is not doing his job, but when he arrives at the crown prince Zhu Houzhao, he is doing the right thing, and he feels that studying history books by himself is not doing his job.
"Go, go, accompany me to the Qianqing Palace."
Zhu Hou took a look at the Hanlin Academy, there were too many people to say, and after thinking about it, he said.
"Yes~"
Liu Jin hurriedly nodded yes, then looked at Wang Shouren beside him and said, "Your Highness, I don't know if you can bring Wang Shouren?" ”
"Then let's go together~"
Zhu Houzhao said indifferently, he didn't have much feeling about this Wang Shouren now.
Wang Shouren in history has a feeling that he has never met a talent, he is very talented, but he has not been able to achieve a high position, so Liu Jin also wants to help him, let him follow Zhu Houzhao as soon as possible, and become familiar.
Zhu Houzhao is a person, as long as he gets acquainted with him and has a good relationship, everything is easier to talk to.
"Yes~"
When Wang Shouren heard this, he immediately hurriedly said yes, this kind of opportunity to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not much, Emperor Hongzhi is just this one son, and he is afraid that he will have no future in the future if he follows Zhu Houzhao?
Although Wang Shouren is more open-minded, whether he can be promoted, there is nothing if he is not promoted, what he likes is to study philosophy, and if he wants to explore the truth from it, it is not his ambition to be promoted and make a fortune.
But it's good to have more contact with Zhu Houzhao, and if you can be promoted in the future, you can also have more influence, and then you can also show your ambitions.
You must know that this is a cow man who repeatedly wrote to the emperor at the age of fifteen, talking about how to pacify the northern grasslands, and when he was fifteen years old, most people were still ignorant.
As for Lun Wenxu, Liu Long, Feng Xi and other people from the Hanlin Academy, they could only look at Liu Jin and Wang Shouren with envy and jealousy, how could such a good thing not fall on their heads.
Soon, under the leadership of Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin and Wang Shouren left Hanlin and came to the Qianqing Palace.
The Qianqing Palace was burned because of the water last winter, so it is now being rebuilt under construction, and this construction and rebuilding is also Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin.
According to the design drawings provided by Liu Jin, the new Qianqing Palace was built with reinforced concrete, and after several months of construction, the main building was almost completed at this time.
The whole Qianqing Palace is a big construction site at this time, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao hired thousands of people to work here at the same time, and the construction of later generations is almost the same, scaffolding was built, the construction of one layer and one floor, and now the style of the new Qianqing Palace can already be seen.
The shape is a jade seal, and it is naturally appropriate to use the jade seal to symbolize the dignity and power of the emperor.
The new jade seal Qianqing Palace is nearly 20 zhang high, but the number of floors is not much, the floors of each floor are very high, very majestic, but now it is just some concrete and steel bars, ugly and not a few, there is nothing to see at all.
The construction speed of the Qianqing Palace is very fast, because Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao are real money smashed into it, and the labor money for all the work is quite high, not to mention that it is to build a palace for the emperor, so everyone's enthusiasm for work is very high.
Of course, the most important thing is that it is very convenient and very fast to build a house with reinforced concrete, if it were not for the fact that it was for the emperor to live in, there were many requirements and complex design, and a few months would have been enough to build it.
"Lao Liu, when will your new spinning machine come out, and if you don't get some new business, I will be poor and beg for food."
"And you and I have bought so much land, isn't it time to make a little move, if it goes on like this, I will buy all the land around the capital."
Looking at the huge palace in front of him, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but spit out his bitterness to Liu Jin, it costs a lot of money to build this Qianqing Palace, even if he is rich and rivals, he has no more than a meter now.
Of course, this is mainly because he keeps throwing money to buy land, and the price of land here in the capital has raised him several times, but as long as there is silver, Zhu Houzhao will immediately buy land, because he believes Liu Jin's words, the silver is a lump in the treasury, and it is useless, and it is the right way to invest it.
"That spinning machine is fast, as for the real estate business in the capital, we still have to wait for the Qianqing Palace to be built, as soon as this demonstration is built, we will launch a similar house at that time, and it will definitely be able to sell well."
Liu Jin thought about it and replied.
"Wait for the Qianqing Palace to be built?"
"The daylily is cold, now you can start planning and building, when this is built, our house will be built, and we can start selling it directly, so that the money will come quickly, will you do business in the end?"
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his little eyes rolled, and he thought about it and said.
"yes, I didn't think of that."
When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately slapped and said, and then looked at Zhu Houzhao, this kid is very talented in business, sure enough, the wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated, once he lets go of himself, he will definitely not be worse than the people of later generations.
Wang Shouren on the side listened to Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin discussing how to make money, and suddenly felt that the three views were ruined, one was today, and the other was the champion of today.
This is seriously inconsistent with their identity.
Shouldn't the prince be quietly in the East Palace and learn how to govern the country from his teacher every day?
Shouldn't the noble Hanlin read books and drink tea here in the Hanlin Academy?
But the two people in front of him, full of copper stench, talking about how to make money, this is really too unusual, even Wang Shouren has always been erudite, and likes to dabble in all kinds of knowledge content, but seeing Liu Jin take the prince crookedly, he can't help it.
