Zhao Zhen's words made Zhao Miaoyuan blush for a while, but thinking of the threat Cai Boyu received in the court, he said with a slight pain in his heart: "Brother Emperor, I'm worried about Cai Boyu, Dong Yushi above the court today actually said that he would kill him, it's unreasonable!" ”

This girl really cares about chaos, and once it comes to her beloved, the wisdom of the past disappears.

Since he was worried about Cai Boyu's safety, Zhao Zhen didn't have an appetite, and explained to his sister with a smile: "How could I kill him, including Dong Wenhao, I didn't want to kill him, I just exaggerated with this kind of rhetoric, it's really good that the threat in the court can have a point, how many officials did you kill when your father was alive?" Even I wouldn't kill easily. ”

"Really?!"

Wang Yuyan smiled and said: "My stupid sister, don't put your mind on Cai Boyu, even if someone wants to kill him, you have to pass Your Majesty's level, and it is only right that you prepare the dowry now......"

"What I prepare, I have the emperor's brother to handle it, I ...... I'm going to take a stroll outside the Donghua Gate......"

After Zhao Miaoyuan finished speaking, he turned his head like a frightened deer and ran away, but was stopped by Wang Yuyan: "If you go to Cai Boyu's house, forget it, if you really go to the official house, you won't be able to protect him!" ”

"Why?"

"Because tomorrow the official family will announce your marriage at the court meeting, and now I am afraid that I will leave a tongue for the ministers of the court, and the princess will run to the house of the concubine before she is married. You are the princess of Changle of our Great Song Dynasty, and the courtiers will naturally not trouble you as a princess, but Cai Boyu will ......"

Wang Yuyan's words surprised Zhao Miaoyuan, and then responded: "Then I won't go, why don't we go to Biyaxuan?" I heard that those Li women from Lingnan have improved the production of cotton cloth, and even the craftsmanship of cotton planting and cotton making is amazing! In order to keep them, the steward did not hesitate to open fifty monthly salaries, which is a first-class miracle in Tokyo City! ”

Zhao Zhen sat up suddenly and exclaimed, "How much!?" ”

"Fifty times!" Zhao Miaoyuan stretched out five fingers and shook them in front of Zhao Zhen, his tone full of pride.

Zhao Zhen almost gasped with Wang Yuyan, and looked at each other with shock, fifty times the moon is only five times less than Siqing, I am afraid that it can shock many people's jaws when I say it, and Sancai on the side has a ghostly expression.

Not only that, Bi Yaxuan's steward can open fifty yuan of monthly salary, which shows that Bi Yaxuan's complete bearing, and even for Bi Yaxuan's manager, this fifty yuan is not much, Zhao Zhen has seen the steward surnamed Liu who is the same as Grandtai, and even he can offer such a high price, which shows that those Li women do have outstanding skills.

Zhao Zhen showed a warm smile like a spring breeze, but in Zhao Miaoyuan's eyes, it looked like a fox's wicked smile.

"Brother Emperor, don't beat their ideas, I will never let them leave Bi Yaxuan!"

"How can I hit their attention, it's just that the cotton planting and cotton making skills they have mastered are ......"

"Brother Emperor, let's dispel this thought! Their cotton planting yield is high and the quality is good, not to mention the first places to grow cotton such as Huanzhou, and even the cotton planted by various factories outside Tokyo is not as good as theirs! ”

Zhao Zhen asked strangely: "Cotton has only been cultivated since the first emperor's dynasty, how could it spread to Lingnan so quickly?" Or did the Li people improve their skills? ”

"What's strange about this, cotton likes heat and water, and the land of Lingnan is certainly suitable for them."

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly and said: "It makes sense, then let these Li women teach more apprentices and promote cotton planting and weaving in my Great Song Dynasty!" Don't bargain with me......"

Wang Yuyan pulled the angry Zhao Miaoyuan away, no way, who called her the emperor's sister?

Zhao Zhen was alone in the back garden in a daze, he didn't expect cotton to develop so fast, he remembered that although there was cotton in the Song Dynasty in history, it was mostly used as an ornamental flower in the north.

It is said that she was taken in by a Li woman when she was wandering and taught her cotton textile technology, and after returning to her hometown, she began to transform her skills and developed Songjiang Province into a cotton spinning base in China.

But Huang Daopo is not born at all now!

It may be because he has promoted the planting and function of cotton, at this time, the Great Song Dynasty has begun to plant cotton, and some rough cotton spinning equipment has also appeared, but it is still in the initial stage.

If the Li women of Bi Yaxuan brought more advanced technology, it would be a huge blessing to the Great Song Dynasty.

Now that Wang Yuyan and the others are gone, they should also go out for a walk, and pinch a cotton flower in the back garden, the soft and fluffy feel makes Zhao Zhen extremely comfortable: "Sancai prepares the car, let's go to Cai Ji to take a look!" ”

Compared with silk and linen, cotton is a kind of light and warm things, Cai Ji's garment factory uses cotton cloth to make clothing, it feels good, it is also a major feature of light and warm, and more importantly, the price is cheaper than silk, if it can be planted and woven in a large area, it can completely replace hemp to become the most important cloth for the people.

Zhao Zhen saw that countless jobs were being recruited from the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time he was happy and began to worry about the output of grain, if the grain output could not go up, even if the industry was developed, it would be useless, and who would go to the factory if he couldn't eat enough?

At this time, the factories of the Great Song Dynasty were still in the basic stage, and they were only workshops that relied on human production on a large scale, without the roar of machines, towering chimneys and sewage, and of course this had to exclude Cai Kee's factories......

The sound of machinery has appeared in Cai Ji's factory, which is emitted by the hydraulic machinery transmitted by the waterwheel through the gears, and the word hydraulic power appeared as early as the Han Dynasty, and the "Book of Han" compiled by Ban Gu mentions the use of water power to impact the riverbed to achieve the effect of dredging.

In Cai Kee hydraulic forging machinery has appeared, the use of water to drive a huge hammer to beat steel, has become Cai Ji's signature, Cai Kee's iron smelting technology is indeed ahead of this era, Zhao Zhen in the young earth blast furnace idea, was Cai Bo Yan into reality, huge masonry chimney, huge oxygen bellows make Zhao Zhen have to admire the Song people's ingenuity.

In order to make the most of the water power, the waterwheels were placed a little farther away, which made Cai Kee's forge form a rectangular arrangement on both sides of the Bianhe River.

Zhao Zhen's car came to the gate of the factory, and without Peng Qi's car, it was obvious that the guards of the forge factory were stunned for a moment, until Chen Tong threw out the token, and then let him go in panic.

A huge roar sounded, the water power has the efficiency of not losing and electricity at all, a hammer in the water wheel to send out the power of the continuous hammer on the red-hot iron, the original precious steel is very common here, this mechanical force hammered out of the sword at least is a hundred steel, skilled craftsmen constantly change the position of the sword, so that the various parts of the sword can be fully hammered to remove impurities.

The task of the forge is to make and hammer the raw materials produced by the earthen blast furnace into 100 steel, and the quality of the swords produced in this way is amazing, and even the kitchen knives that are ready to be sent to Cai Kee Restaurant are covered with snowflake patterns......
