Since the prevalence of the Song Dynasty, the oppression of women in the Yuan Dynasty was even worse, and in the early Ming Dynasty, those who could show their heads were married women.

Unmarried girls are over ten years old, and most of them are raised in deep boudoirs, and they can't even go out of the door at ordinary times.

An unmarried woman like Lan Yan, even if she goes out, she must also wear a hat, otherwise she will be unruly and unethical.

Zhu Zhanji directly took the blue smoke on the horse and sat in his arms, even if it was an unmarried couple, this was also a shocking move.

Everyone else looked at Zhu Zhanji in surprise, but the little maid of Lan Yan, Wutong, jumped to her feet in a hurry, but she didn't dare to step forward, she could only look at the four guards.

But these four guards came from Xichuan, they knew that the Jingshi was deep, as long as the young lady of their family did not suffer a loss, it would be good to protect her safety, and they didn't dare to cause trouble at will.

What's more, now it's the grandson, Miss's fiancé, how dare they care about this matter!

Lan Yan was confused again at this moment, and from the moment she was hugged by Zhu Zhanji's arm, her mind froze, and she couldn't react at all.

At this time, Yang Zhangde dragged the young man downstairs, and as soon as the young man saw Zhu Zhanji on the horse, he immediately fell to the ground. "Your Highness, spare your life...... Xiaomin has never bullied the blue girl. My family has three generations of single inheritance, but it can't be without the roots of inheritance...... There are old people and small people, His Royal Highness is kind, and he should let it go when he is a fart! ”

Yang Zhangde slapped him and hurriedly hugged his head, but he knew that he could only count on Zhu Zhanji now, so he still looked at Zhu Zhanji with pleading eyes.

Zhu Zhanji Yile, when he came to this era, all the people he came into contact with were serious, people like Yang Zhangde and Ji Gang, although they were gangsters and ruthless, but they were all straightforward.

And although this young man was frightened with tears and snot, he also bloomed with lotus flowers, and his words slipped away.

Obviously, it was he who spoke to Lan Yan, and he offended Lan Yan between his words, which made Lan Yan feel aggrieved.

Lan Yan pressed the back of Zhu Zhanji's hand at this time, blushed, and whispered with his back to everyone: "Your Highness, the concubine is in pain." ”

"Where does it hurt?"

Lan Yan didn't speak, but twisted his body again.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji came to his senses and secretly said that he was confused.

Women in this era are not like men, they are used to wearing pants under their robes, but still skirts.

Inside the skirt, there is at most one knee, or even no knee at all. In other words, it is possible that Blue Smoke was put on a hard saddle by him all of a sudden.

Zhu Zhanji stiffened slightly, and couldn't help laughing, but he didn't have this time to pick it out. He rolled over and dismounted, then grabbed Blue Smoke's skirt and picked her off the horse.

"Where's your carriage?"

She didn't dare to raise her head in shame, so she mumbled and muttered, "Sycamore......"

Zhu Zhanji understood what she meant, and asked Wutong again, but the little girl couldn't say anything frightened, she trembled all over her body, and she was almost paralyzed on the ground.

One of the guards said, "Your Highness, our carriage is in the stall at the entrance of the neighborhood. ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Let people come over." ”

The Ming Dynasty already had strict urban management, and each block had its own livestock pen, and cattle and horses were not allowed to be tied along the street.

Horses and cattle in the inner city are registered in detail, and cattle and horses in the outer city are not allowed to enter the city.

Although all aspects of the service can not keep up, but at least there is a prototype.

Zhu Zhanji waited for the carriage to come over with blue smoke, and then he had the leisure to take care of the young man who was kneeling on the ground. "Who are you? Why offend Lonely's Liangdi? ”

The young man didn't know the specific identity of Lan Yan at first, but when he heard that this woman was the grandson's Liangdi, he immediately understood that if he didn't say it clearly, he would die today and have no place to be buried.

He lowered his head and said, "Your Highness Mingjian, Xiaomin's name is An Xiaohu, and he is the Shaodong of Anyuan Silk Bank." Today, Lan Liangdi found Xiaomin and wanted Xiaomin to connect the two boats of Shujin on the dock for her. However, the Ministry of Self-Industry has a new loom, and the price of cloth, silk, and silk and satin have all fallen by more than one and a half. Lan Liangdi didn't know the market, and wanted to sell it at the original price, but Xiaomin naturally couldn't do it. Because the words are not speculative, and the small people drank two taels of horse urine, they offended between the words. But Xiaomin was in no way offended! ”

Zhu Zhanji lowered his head and asked, "What he said is true?" ”

Lan Yan was held in Zhu Zhanji's arms, not daring to struggle, nor daring to raise his head, but just hummed lightly. From Zhu Zhanji's point of view, it can be clearly seen that her little ears are already red.

Even if it is not true, Zhu Zhanji will not deal with this An Xiaohu now. Because he punished An Xiaohu, wouldn't it be true that An Xiaohu bullied Lan Yan, which had an extraordinary impact on her reputation.

Maybe because of this rumor, her status will not be guaranteed, and she will not be treated in the palace in the future.

So even if An Xiaohu really bullied Lan Yan, Zhu Zhanji would only find time to deal with this An Xiaohu in the future.

Now it seems that it is just a slight hint in An Xiaohu's words. And this chick is thin-skinned, stupid and cute, and she faints in a fit of anger, and everyone knows what she preaches.

Zhu Zhanji is not a person of this era, and his woman is considered disrespectful and offensive by others when he says a few words.

In his previous life, several of his wives and his brothers were fighting on weekdays, and Gracia also liked to gamble with Liang Hao and a few of them, but now he just said a few words, what can he have.

So he nodded at Yang Zhangde, and Yang Zhangde also let go of him.

However, An Xiaohu still knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise his head.

Zhu Zhanji said: "You can come along, since you are the Shaodong of Anyuan Silk Company, you are also familiar with the current silk price and cloth price of Jingshi, and I don't have to ask others again." ”

An Xiaohu raised his head, his face showed joy, and he hurriedly kowtowed three times before he dared to get up. "Your Highness is magnanimous, and the people are grateful. If Your Highness wants to ask me, just ask me, inside and outside of this Jingshi, as long as it is related to silk cloth, Xiaomin knows it well. ”

Seeing that Lan Yan's carriage was driven over, Zhu Zhanji said indifferently: "I can see that you are also a clever person, it depends on whether you are smart or not." ”

Blue Smoke was put into the carriage, and the curtain blocked the view of the others, and Blue Smoke was a little more comfortable. She looked up at Zhu Zhanji, her eyes sparkling, which was particularly attractive. "Your Highness, why are you so good to your concubine?"

Zhu Zhanji smiled: "You will be my person in the future, I am not good to you, who is good to me?" ”

She paused for a moment, looked at Zhu Zhanji's eyes were extremely bright, and said sincerely: "Vote for me with Mu Tao, and repay it with Qiong Yao." Bandit retribution, always think it is good! ”

After reading this poem, Lan Yan was embarrassed, turned around, and didn't dare to look at him again.

Zhu Zhanji was greatly relieved, and he was more and more happy with this chick who was a little stupid on the outside, but pure as crystal on the inside.

For the sake of her reputation, Zhu Zhanji did not get into the carriage, but still rode a horse and followed the carriage, and hooked his finger at An Xiaohu, who was following the team.

Out of Qingliangmen, because of the construction of Jiajiang Industrial Zone, a pure wooden arch bridge ten meters high from the water surface was built on the Qinhuai River here.

It's still south of Stone Town, and there are no big ships passing by, so the ten-meter-high bridge cave can be passed by even the palace building's boats, and it won't get in the way.

The bridge deck is six meters wide and can accommodate two carriages in parallel, but for safety, the bridge deck is generally limited in weight, supervised by soldiers on both sides, and by the way, it can also collect entrance fees.

After crossing the bridge, Zhu Zhanji asked: "Now that only the loom has improved, why has the price of silk and silk and silk also dropped?" ”

An Xiaohu had no mount, so he could only trot next to the horse, but looking at his appearance, he didn't feel tired at all, on the contrary, he was full of energy. Behind their ranks were a few guards in the distance, leading their horses, presumably his guards.

"Your Highness Mingjian, whether it is silk or cloth, in fact, it is the same principle, and now with a new loom, it can be used in the silk line with only a slight change. It is said that the adults of the Ministry of Works are already experimenting with new looms that can directly reel silk and weave brocade. Whether it is silk reeling or weaving, labor always accounts for the majority, so the cost of this aspect is reduced, and the price of all aspects will naturally decrease. ”

Zhu Zhanji asked again: "How much cost can be saved by a new loom?" How long does it take to earn back your capital? ”

This time, An Xiaohu paused for a moment before saying, "Your Highness doesn't know something, and this cost savings can't be simply calculated. However, a new loom can be equivalent to five labor, and can also run non-stop at 12 hours, after the Ministry of Industry adults and manpower comparison, a machine only needs three people, 12 hours a day non-stop operation, equivalent to the output of nearly 20 people in the past. With such an output, it will not take half a year to earn back the machine money and the patent fees for the adults of the Ministry of Industry. ”

Zhu Zhanji could have imagined the impact of the industrial revolution on reality, but he did not expect it to come so quickly.

Thinking of the sheep cannibalism incident that had occurred in Britain, he was a little worried that this would happen to the Ming Dynasty.

But he immediately realized that Daming was an agrarian country, which was different from the island nation of England.

Even if Daming urgently needs raw materials, wool, and cotton, then he will naturally look to the grassland.

In later generations, the northwest was the main cotton producing area, and it was also the main wool producing area. When the merchants of the Ming Dynasty were like bandits, they turned their attention there, which only encouraged the Ming to take down all those areas and turn them into their own pastures and plantations.

Not to mention the northwest, from the northwest to the Caspian Sea, there are all suitable for the growth of cotton!

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji has decided to make an article in the Daming Mansion Daily, saying that the northwest region is the most suitable for cotton growth. And in the south of North China, it was strictly forbidden to plant cotton on a large scale, leading merchants to march to the northwest.

In this way, it not only increased the impetus of the Ming Dynasty to march to the northwest, but also did not damage the food supply in the Ming Dynasty, and with these merchants, the Ming Dynasty could also save countless immigration costs.

Kill three birds with one stone.
