"Jenny spinning machine?" Liu Qianzhi frowned, thought hard, and still had no impression, "Your Majesty, the Minnu has only been to Aden as far as possible, is the Jenny spinning machine produced by the Ottoman country?" ”

"No," Zhu Youzhen shook his head, "It's much farther than this, it should be in the West." Zhu Youzhen was worried that Li Yusheng would go to the West in the future, and he was really looking for this kind of spinning machine that had not yet appeared, and he did not dare to say the exact name of the country.

Liu Qianzhi is no longer entangled in the origin of Jenny's spinning machine, she attaches more importance to the role, since it can be transmitted from the distant West to Daming, it must be a good thing to enter Zhu Youzhen's eyes, "Your Majesty, what is the use of Jenny's spinning machine." ”

"Speaking of use, I'm afraid it will frighten Miss Liu," Zhu Youzhen first let out wild words, and also gave Liu Qianzhi a little reminder, "The usual spinning machine has only one spindle, right?" ”

"Could it be that Jenny has two spindles?" There is a faint expectation in Liu Qianzhi's heart, if this is the case, the spinning speed will be increased by two times at once, and the cost will be greatly reduced.

"Two? How could it be? Zhu Youzhen deliberately took a sip of tea.

"That's not the case?" Liu Qianzhi's face was disappointed, since it is not two spindles, why do you want to hang people's appetites?

"The oldest Jenny spinning machine, which had eight spindles, has been improved by later generations and now has a maximum of fifteen spindles." Zhu Youzhen coughed lightly, took care of the fragrant tea by himself, and did not look at Liu Qianzhi.

"Eight? Fifteen? Liu Qianzhi was really like Zhu Youzhen's estimate, her small mouth was open like a hippopotamus, and her glutinous rice teeth were completely exposed to the air, and she didn't look like a lady at all.

"Of course it's true, I'm the emperor, how can I innocently make Miss Liu happy?" Zhu Youzhen's face was raised, and he looked unhappy.

"Your Majesty......" Liu Shanzhong felt that this lawless daughter was in trouble, and he was just about to leave his seat to ask Zhu Youzhen for the crime, but Liu Qianzhi had already knelt down in front of Zhu Youzhen, "Your Majesty, the people's daughter knows that she is wrong, and she begs Your Majesty to punish her." ”

"The punishment will be waived, get up," Zhu Youzhen put down the tea, "No wonder Miss Liu doesn't believe it, it's too unbelievable to say......

"That's it," Liu Qianzhi sat down again, she looked at Zhu Youzhen with blank eyes, "Your Majesty, where is Jenny's spinning machine?" Is there one in the palace? ”

"No," Zhu Youzhen also felt a little regretful, he had forgotten about this earlier, if Zhu Youxiao was still alive, with his carpentry skills, he might be able to build a Jenny spinning machine, but Zhu Youxiao was already dead, "Originally, the Ming Dynasty's interrogation was to return to China with the drawings of Jenny's spinning machine, but unfortunately ......"

"What a pity? Could it be that he ran away with the drawings? Liu Qianzhi's nose was furled, obviously eager to know what was going on.

"It's not possible to escape," Zhu Youzhen also shook his head and sighed, "but on the way back, he accidentally fell into the sea, and the drawings were soaked in the sea water and turned into ashes." ”

"Ah......" Liu Qianzhi exclaimed unconsciously, "That...... So he still has some impressions? ”

"This interrogator later gave his life for the country, but he once dictated the rough outline of the drawings to me, because the language is unknown, and I am not very clear of the structure of Jenny's spinning machine." This story came to a complete curtain call, and Zhu Youzhen was also relieved.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... Remember what Jenny's spinning machine looked like? Liu Qianzhi asked Zhu Youzhen carefully.

"Zhi'er must not be rude, Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, how can you remember a little Jenny spinning machine?" Although Liu Shanzhong was also eager to get Jenny's spinning machine, he still drank his daughter.

"Daddy......" Liu Qianzhi protested in a low voice, "Your Majesty has a good chance, isn't that for the benefit of the people?" If there is a Jenny spinning machine, the factory can save a lot of labor costs, isn't this just for the benefit of the people? ”

"Haha," Zhu Youzhen originally provided Liu Shanzhong with a research direction and let them explore it by themselves, but he didn't expect Liu Qianzhi to be so persistent, but he said it very reasonably, "It's a pity that I only know some simple structures, and I don't know if I can make them." ”

Liu Qianzhi and Zhu Youzhen were not angry, and they took a step forward unconsciously, "Then can Your Majesty try?" ”

"Try? Fortunately, if it can really benefit the people, I might as well try," Zhu Youzhen had a headache when he met such a persistent little girl, and he was really not sure if he could build a Jenny spinning machine. “

"Try more, maybe it may not be made," Liu Qianzhi said to Liu Shanzhong again: "Daddy will stay and try with Your Majesty, and once there is a result, it will be good to take it to Jiangnan." ”

"Zhi'er is talking nonsense, this is the Forbidden Palace, how can Daddy stay?" Liu Shanzhong hurriedly pleaded guilty to Zhu Youzhen: "Zhi'er is young and doesn't understand the rules of the palace, so I beg Your Majesty to forgive her for the crime of disrespect." ”

"Those who don't know are not guilty, and proprietor Liu doesn't have to worry." Zhu Youzhen was really impressed by this persistent Miss Liu, but the persistence is not bad at all, if you can build a Jenny spinning machine, it will be improved in the future, and there is a loom, maybe it will be realized in this little girl.

"Daddy, then I'll stay," Liu Qianzhi's eyes were resolute, obviously with a lot of determination, "I'm a woman, so I should be the palace maid in the palace, and I shouldn't violate the rules of the palace, right?" She looked at Zhu Youzhen and turned into a pleading look.

Zhu Youzhen really couldn't bear to refuse, maybe today's refusal would make Daming lose a top engineer, but he still asked: "Miss Liu, you are not a craftsman, what can you do if you stay?" ”

Liu Qianzhi seemed to be iron-hearted, "Your Majesty, although the folk girl is not a craftsman, the folk girl is familiar with the spinning machine and knows the function of every piece of wood on the spinning machine. ”

"Zhi'er!" Liu Shan interrupted and snorted, "It's all your father who spoiled you." ”

"Daddy......" Liu Qianzhijiao# screamed, and sprinkled coquettishness to Liu Shanzhong, "Doesn't Daddy often sigh that there is no child under his knees?" Today, my daughter wants her father to see that her daughter can do what her son can't do, and ask her father to fulfill her daughter! ”

"Zhi'er, this is the palace, in front of Your Majesty, don't mess around, don't embarrass Your Majesty." Liu Shanzhong did not pity the jade, he glared at Liu Qianzhi fiercely.

"Your Majesty," Liu Qianzhi saw that her father was not complimentary, so she had to ask Zhu Youzhen for help, she had forgotten that the general still hated him to death, "Did the people embarrass Your Majesty?" ”

"Haha, haha," Zhu Youzhen laughed a few times, "It's not embarrassing, as long as your father allows it." ”

"Dad," Liu Qianzhi's little head was like a drum, circling between Zhu Youzhen and her father, "Look, Your Majesty said that he would not be embarrassed, did you hear it?" ”

"Zhi'er, let's go home and study slowly, don't delay Your Majesty's business." Liu Shanzhong seemed to be coaxing the child, and in front of Zhu Youzhen, he didn't dare to force it too much.

"Daddy forgot, except for Your Majesty, no one knows Jenny's spinning machine, can Daddy make Jenny's spinning machine out of thin air?"

"This ...... His Majesty ......, "Liu Shanzhong had no choice but to cast a look at Zhu Youzhen for help, and Liu Qianzhi also happened to cast a grateful look at Zhu Youzhen."

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and smiled bitterly, so he had to say to Liu Shanzhong: "Master Liu, since Miss Liu has made up her mind, it is better to ...... It's better to let her stay, I promise, in a month, no matter what the result is, I will send Jinyi Wei to send Miss Liu home. ”

"Dad, look, Your Majesty has arranged it, does Dad want to go against Your Majesty's will?" Liu Qianzhi patted Liu Shanzhong's back and told him to go home first.

"Hey......" An inexplicable throbbing flashed in Liu Shanzhong's eyes, he opened his mouth to say something, but he finally didn't say it, he had to sigh, and finally just explained to Liu Qianzhi: "Don't stab Lou Zi for your father, otherwise don't blame your father for not letting you go home." ”

"Got it, Dad." Liu Qianzhi leaned crookedly on Liu Shanzhong's shoulder, I'm so well-behaved, isn't my father still at ease?

While Liu Shanzhong was explaining to his daughter, Li Yusheng remembered what Zhu Youzhen had said before, "Your Majesty, what other way does your majesty let the grass people and others make money?" ”

"Ao, isn't Li Dongzhu engaged in overseas trade? Could it be that Li Dongzhu is also preparing to return to the land? Zhu Youzhen said in his heart, you have already tasted the huge profits of overseas trade, why do you want to return to the land, do the Han people really have no adventurous spirit and pioneering spirit at all?

"Back to Your Majesty, the grass people will still engage in overseas trade for the time being, but the grass people have a relative who is in business, named Huang Li, he has not found any good business recently, and he is almost idle at home, Huang Li entrusts the grass people to pay attention to the right business."

"Huang Li? Who is this person? What is the economic strength? "Zhu Youzhen has never seen Huang Li, so he didn't trust him very much, but the reform of the five central and southern provinces of the Ming Dynasty needs the support of businessmen, plus it is Li Yusheng's recommendation, so let's take a look at his details for the time being.

"Your Majesty, Huang Li is a person from Guangzhou, the era is a businessman, after several generations of accumulation, the family property is quite rich, according to the estimation of the grass people, the family property should be more than two million, if you add the backing of the family, it should be more than this number." Li Yusheng knows that those with poor economic strength will definitely not be able to enter Zhu Youzhen's eyes.

"Two million taels? The family property should be enough, as long as you can take out a million cash, the home in Guangzhou, the location is also good," Huang Li met Zhu Youzhen's expectations, "What is this person's character, Li Dongzhu is honest, shrewd or kind?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this person has heard and witnessed it in the shopping mall since he was a child, and naturally has the shrewdness of a businessman," Li Yusheng paused slightly, "If you talk about kindness, at least he is not a treacherous person, otherwise the grass people will not dare to recommend this person to Your Majesty." ”

"If you think you're a shrewd businessman, why are you at home now? Could something have changed? "Zhu Youzhen doesn't understand, how can an excellent businessman, who should have more than one business, be unemployed?

"Back to Your Majesty, Huang Li was originally engaged in the money bank and pawnbroking industries, but these industries are now in a saturation period, not only is it difficult to expand, but it is also difficult to maintain the original profits, so Huang Li has the idea of changing his business."

"Money bank, pawn," Zhu Youzhen said, this is the financial industry in the Ming Dynasty, and it is the talent that Zhu Youzhen needs, "Since this is the case, then I will show Huang Li a clear way." ”
