"Even later, the minister did not see it with his own eyes, but I heard that the embroidery merchants also made many special tools, with which the cloth can be cut to the right size at once, and the speed of workmanship is much faster."

There are also some scholars who are very disgusted with industry and commerce and make up a lot of words, saying that industry and commerce are very oppressive to the workers, that they have to work for six hours a day, that the food arranged by the factory is not good, and that the wages are pitiful, and that the court should strictly restrict industry and commerce for the sake of the people, and care about the people who work. ……”

Lian Zining said a lot about the Hangzhou Industrial Park, focusing on the embroidery industry. The key to the embroidery industry is the embroidery craft, and the embroidery technique is different from the craft of carving jade, which is difficult to imitate, so the first entry into the Hangzhou Industrial Park is the embroidery industry, and even the guild has moved into the park.

However, Lian Zining himself was not interested in these. Although he accepted Yun Xi's point of view and believed that industry and commerce were also very necessary for the Ming Dynasty, but also from the perspective of taxation, if the commercial tax and customs duties were charged an extra penny, the treasury would be more abundant, and there was no need to rush the agricultural tax too quickly, not that he really liked industry and commerce. In fact, he, like most civil servants, looked down on businessmen. He was very impatient to introduce the industrial park to Yunxi in person.

But the more Yunxi listened, the happier he became. In the past, each industry cherished its own unique craftsmanship and never handed it over to outsiders, but the industrial and commercial households engaged in embroidery in Hangzhou are now willing to teach some embroidery methods to the recruited female workers, and are willing to spread the technology, why? Because they can make more money than they used to! In order to be able to make more money, you can also do without the rules that have been handed down! ’

And try all kinds of ways to improve production efficiency, whether it is the implementation of the division of labor or the manufacture of new tools, all in order to solve the problem of labor shortage to improve production efficiency and make more money! ’

Historically, the Industrial Revolution has happened under similar circumstances. Although there were many free workers in Britain, when Britain occupied a large number of colonies at the end of the 18th century, and these colonies gave priority to the sale of goods from the country, the handicraft industry developed rapidly, and women rarely came out to work, and the number of workers was not as rich as expected. ’

Moreover, at that time, in order to protect their rights and interests, the workers also set up trade unions, especially in factories that required heavy manual labor, and the trade unions united the workers to fight against the capitalists and demand higher wages. By the way, in the 1st century, European immigrants in the United States hated Orientals, including Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese, and the lower they were, the more they hated them, more than Africans, and one of the important reasons was that Orientals rarely participated in strikes, and their actions to force capitalists to raise wages through strikes often failed. ’

In this case, in order to save costs, the capitalists had to invest in the research of machines that could save labor, so that the steam engine was continuously improved after its birth and became a practical machine, which led to the occurrence of the Industrial Revolution. ’

What is happening in the Ming Dynasty now is similar to what happened in the Industrial Revolution. Because the feudal power was still very strong, and at this time the Ming Dynasty was also a small number of people and a lot of land, and the rural landlords were not too strong in oppressing the peasants, so there were very few people willing to work, and the labor force was not so rich. ’

At the same time, although there are no trade unions for the time being, there are "well-conscience" scholars, who will seize on all the negative news of the factories to make a big fuss, and force the industrial and commercial owners to reduce their profits and give more to the workers without losing money. ’

Of course, there is a third, that is, Daming's technology is very advanced. Ancient China has not had a systematic scientific theory, but from a practical point of view, technology has been developing, at this time in the world is relatively leading, at this time the technical level of the Ming Dynasty should be 16XX years of Europe there is no gap, with the technical level of breeding advanced machines, so even if capitalism is still in a very embryonic state, it may not be born the machine of the industrial revolution. ’

The more Yun Xi thought about it, the happier he became, and when he lowered his head to drink tea, he caught a glimpse of Lian Zining and smiled at him: "Aiqing has done a good job in Zhejiang. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Lian Zining, who did not understand the true meaning of this sentence, saluted and said.

"I must reward you!" Yun Xi said again: "Lian Zining, listen to my words." He gave Aiqing ten pieces of silk and a string of pearls, and six months' worth of silk. After a while, I asked the little eunuch to find a few pieces of furniture from the palace warehouse and send them to your mansion as a reward. ”

"I will be awarded the rank of Aiqing Zishan Doctor, promoted to Senior Doctor, and then awarded Doctor De."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lian Zining said happily. He didn't really care about the things he was rewarded with at first, but he didn't seem to have heard of anyone in the court being given furniture before, so he was certainly happy as the first one.

What made him even happier was the civil service rank awarded. The loose rank belongs to a kind of reward for civil and military officials when they cannot be promoted, or they cannot be promoted according to the rules, but they do things that make the emperor happy, and it is a sign that they are reused by the emperor, which is somewhat similar to the number of meritorious deeds recorded in the army in later generations. He got the rank of civil official, indicating that he was reused by the emperor, and he was naturally happy.

And he didn't just confer on the good doctor, but also promoted and added, which is a sign of more reuse.

Yun Xi saw that he was so happy, and gave him a few words of encouragement, so that he could also do errands for the court in the court in the future.

Yun Xi even wanted to keep him in the palace to eat, anyway, it was not early, it was almost noon. But he himself looked at Lian Zining's appearance, and saw that he came urgently all the way from Hangzhou, and after entering the city, he entered the palace without resting, and there was still a lot of dust on his clothes, and he also sweated a lot due to the hot weather. Let him wear such clothes to eat with him, although Lian Zining will definitely think that this is a favor, but it will not feel good.

But the clothes of the adult men in the palace are either his clothes or the clothes of the eunuchs, the former Lian Zining does not dare to wear them, even if they are just household clothes, and the latter does not want to wear them, forcing him to wear them He will think it is an insult, and he can't change his clothes.

So Yun Xi finally gave up his plan to leave him in the palace to eat. "That's it, anyway, Lian Zining has already returned to Beijing, let's talk about it later." ’

He said a few more words to Lian Zining and told him to step down.

After Lian Zining retreated, he first instructed Hu Yan to come in and write a holy decree on household registration reform, let him read it and stamp it and send it, then he stood up and walked back and forth in the house for a few steps, wrote something in the notebook, rested for a while, and said to Lu Yi: "Xuanyu father and son meet him." ”

Lu Yi agreed and was about to retreat, but Yun Xi suddenly remembered something and asked, "When the father and son of the Yu family have been waiting for such a long time in the Jinshen Palace, what actions did they make?" ”

"Official, wait for the slave to ask the people in the palace and then answer Your Majesty." Lu Yi said. Yun Xi nodded, he hurriedly retreated and went to the Jinshen Hall to call someone in person.

After a while, Lu Yi hurriedly ran back to the apse, wiped the sweat on his face, walked into the pavilion where Yun Xi was and saluted and said, "The official family, Yu Xu and Yu Qian's father and son have already brought them outside the palace. ”

He paused and said: "The slave asked the people in the Jinshen Palace, and they all said that Yu Xu, Yu Qian, father and son had been sitting quietly in the room, and Yu Xu did not have the slightest impatience on his face, nor did he have any superfluous movements; Yu Qian was a little impatient, and wanted to jump off the chair, but was stopped by Yu Xu, and Yu Xu whispered something to Qian, and then Yu Qian sat on the chair honestly, only occasionally moving, and there was no other action. ”

"Got it, you Xuan Yu's father and son come in." Yun Xi didn't say anything after hearing this, just commanded. Lu Yi agreed and withdrew. Soon, two middle-aged and young people, dressed like scholars, walked in, knelt down in front of Yun Xi and said: "Grass people Yu Xu / Yu Qian, I have seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!" ”

"Get up." Yun Xi said after they finished saluting. "Thank you, Your Majesty." Yu Xu agreed, Yu Qian said yes slowly, then stood up and lowered his head and stood a foot away in front of Yun Xi.

Yun Xi also stood up and smiled at them again, "Look up." I allow you to look at me. ”

"Grass people, thank you, Your Majesty......" Yu Xu listened to Yun Xi's words, and slowly raised his head, and was about to thank him again. But he had only said four words, and suddenly he was dumbfounded, and his words stopped halfway. Not only him, but his son Yu Qian was also very surprised, Xie En's words stopped after just two words, and blurted out: "Why are you!" ”

"Bold!" Lu Yi immediately scolded.

Lu Yi was about to continue scolding, but Yun Xi suddenly waved his hand. "Hey, it's just a child, and it's a child who has seen me before, it's normal to be so surprised at this time, and there's no need to be harsh."

Hearing Yun Xi's words, Yu Xu came back to his senses, pulled Yu Qian and was about to kneel down again and ask for guilt. Yun Xi, who had been prepared, let the little eunuch on the side hold the two of them, and said with a smile: "I have already said it, Yu Qian is still a child, it is normal to blurt out the words in his heart in surprise, I will not blame him." You don't have to plead guilty. ”

Hearing Yun Xi's words, Yu Xu, who was still immersed in shock at this time, subconsciously obeyed his words, saluted and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your grace." ”

"It's just a child." Yun Xi repeated this sentence, instructed Lu Yi to bring a small stool, and said to their father and son, "You all sit, you don't have to stand and talk to me." ”

Yu Xu subconsciously sat down again, and let Yu Qian sit on the small stool he had just taken out on the side, and saluted and thanked him.

Yun Xi also sat down and said with a smile: "That's it." Then he drove out most of the serving eunuchs, leaving only Lu Yi to serve in the house, and then said to Xu: "Yu Xiucai, I have two things to tell you when I call your father and son into the palace today. ”

"I had something to do out of the palace yesterday, and I met your father and son on the way back to the palace, and I felt that Yu Xiucai, you are upright, upright, and knowledgeable, and it is too condescending to stay in Changfu to teach a few children. I want you to be the master of the Royal Academy, and to teach the prince and the sons of the vassal kings. Would you like to? ”

Yun Xi thought that he would hear Yu Xu's excited response immediately, but he didn't expect Yu Xu to sit on the chair in a daze after listening to his words, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't answer. Yun Xi waited for a while, and when he saw that he still didn't speak, he had to say again: "Yu Xiucai? ”

"Grass people, please forgive your majesty!" Yu Xu suddenly jumped up from the chair, pulled Yu Qian to kneel down again, and said.

Yun Xi was confused by his words: "What do you mean?" ”

"In front of Your Majesty, how can there be a seat for the grass people? The son of the grass people has also offended His Majesty, please punish Your Majesty. Yu Xu said.

Yun Xi understood these two things, and suddenly cried and laughed. 'Have you been sleepwalking?' It's only now that I'm reacting. However, he did read Jinyiwei's recital: many ordinary people trembled for a long time after seeing the court and the three rank officials, and they couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time, and they couldn't answer what they asked. Compared with such a person, Yu Xu's performance is still remarkable.

"I have already absolved your son Yu Qian's fault, as for the seat, could it be that I am sitting obedient, and you can't stand and speak? I don't feel well. He saw that Yu Xu was still kneeling, and said to Qian: "Yu Qian, hurry up and help your father stand up." ”

As a child, Yu Qian was also very surprised that the emperor he saw today was the person who claimed to be Chang Jichang's cousin he saw yesterday, but after all, he was young and came back to his senses after a while; Yu Xu taught him 'Heaven and Earth Jun Teacher' on weekdays, before Jun was in parent, so naturally he had to listen to 'Jun', so he wanted to help his father up according to his words.

Yu Xu turned his head sideways and was about to say a few words to him, when he suddenly remembered that this was in front of the emperor, and it was not wrong for Yu Qian to obey the emperor's orders, so he could only stand up together.

"Help your father sit down again." Yun Xi instructed Yu Qian again.

This time, Yu Xu was not 'forced' by Yu Qian to sit down, but excused himself again. Yun Xi persuaded him a few times, but he still didn't want to sit down, and had to say, 'I'm making an order, do you want to resist the decree or disrespect it?' Hearing this, Yu Xu bowed and sat down.
