There are not many people who watch the excitement and follow the kneeling, Xia Yanqing shouted three times here, kowtowed to the order, and the countless melon-eating people who knelt on the ground also began to inquire and discuss.

Those who do not understand ask the meaning of the words of the decree, and those who understand explain it to those around them.

There are also many figures around that no one understands, but they are guessing based on their own understanding.

So many people spoke at the same time, although they were all whispering, but the effect was absolutely leveraged, enough to make people's minds confused.

Xiao Liu's father-in-law, who caused this situation, didn't feel that he should explain the content of the holy decree at all, he waited for Xia Yanqing to get up and take the holy decree before he happily turned around and beckoned.

As his hand was raised, several of his attendants moved at the same time, tearing off the red silk from the plaque.

The purple lacquer plaque with eight gilded characters written "the heavy craftsman of the country, rejuvenating the country and benefiting the people" appeared, which caused a burst of exclamations from the onlookers.

There are many literate people who have already heard these eight words in the holy decree, and when they see it with their own eyes, the unusual feeling becomes even clearer.

Listening to people's discussions, looking at the plaque given to the craftsman, I was inexplicably excited: "It turns out that our craftsmen also have a day when they are favored by the emperor, the emperor is Shengming, and it is really Mingjun." ”

The voice was so loud that the corners of Xia Yanqing's mouth twitched when he heard it. This is said, the problem is big, isn't the emperor not valuing craftsmen, so he is not holy? What did the emperors of the dynasties say?

Fortunately, there was an acquaintance next to the man, and he pushed him: "What are you dreaming about?" That's the kind of people who value researching new industries and making new tools. If you want to have such a day, you have to be reincarnated and learn again. ”

The man in front of him still didn't realize that he had a problem with speaking, and replied with a stiff neck: "My second child is smart and clever, so I'll teach him to work hard in the carpentry shop." How many tools in the world are made of wood? Maybe my little two can also come up with tools to improve people's livelihood and enhance national strength. ”

There is a lot of talk like this. When the children of poor families grow up, they have no money to go to school, so they mostly work as a boy outside, or find a master and learn some trades.

As a craftsman, he has always had no status, that is, to make a living.

Isn't it different now? With the attention of the emperor and the imperial court, it is possible that craftsmen have a future, right?

Look at those readers, how much does it cost to read for ten years, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone? Looking at the people who participate in the scientific examination every year, there are so many people who go in, and how many can pass the examination?

It's much better to learn the craft from the master, and if you have a chance, you may be rewarded by the imperial court. Even if you don't have a big profit, you can earn a bite to eat with your skills, and you won't be wronged.

A large number of people kneeling on the ground scattered as they got up and talked about it.

Qiao Chensheng led someone forward and took the huge plaque.

Xia Yanqing worked hard with Gonggong Liu and the others, and invited them inside.

Since knowing that the emperor would issue an edict and give a plaque, both the Xia family and the Qingyun Zhai kiln in Jishui Lane have been making preparations.

It was only yesterday that I got the exact news that the location of the decree was set here in the workshop, so I made efforts to organize this place again.

The workshops have already started, and they have not deliberately stopped at this time. The emperors of the people are ready to be suspicious of their Xia family, and she can't make a lot of effort to hide the glass and various utensils.

In short, in the future glass industry, no matter how many people learn to make methods, she will have an unshakable position.

Xia Yanqing also thought that after the morning, that is, after nine o'clock in the morning, if he came from the palace with a plaque, he would definitely be watched by passers-by.

She didn't expect that the attention would be so great, and she had prepared a few baskets of copper coins, thinking that after receiving someone from the palace, she would scatter it outside, and the big guys would be happy.

But looking at the vast sea of people in front of him, Xia Yanqing gave Qiao Chensheng a look. Forget it, if there is a stampede because of this, and a good thing becomes a bad thing, then it is called bad.

…………

Shao Yizhan and the others hid in an alley in the distance, watching the crowd of onlookers gradually disperse.

Zhan Qi couldn't help but sigh and said: "The girl of the Xia family is a powerful person, I used to think about it, the glass industry can really make some money." But I didn't expect that this was still a major event for the benefit of the country and the people. ”

Among them, Zhang Xiaowu, like Qiao Qixiong, only thought that glass was a business, a money-making business that had never been made in ancient times, and even echoed Zhanqi's words.

But there are also Ding Bochang who think more about it, especially now that he is on an errand in the household department, he naturally understands that there is one more industry in the world, and its products will bring benefits to the economy, trade and taxes.

Ding Bochang said: "The benefits of glass are indeed many, not only to brighten up the tens of millions of mansions in the world, but also to the income of the country and the people. It's just that the businessman is for profit after all, I don't know why the emperor wanted to open it this time, and he would praise the business with such fanfare? ”

Zhan Qi said: "What have you heard? The emperor is encouraging craftsmen all over the world to make more practical tools, as well as new trades like glass. ”

Ding Bochang expressed his contempt: "Didn't your grandfather tell you about the dispute in the court? Whatever the reason, after all, it is a recognition of a person who is in business. ”

Cheng You glanced at Shao Yi several times and said, "Miss Xia has this holy decree, and her identity is different. There is also the Xia family, the three children of Lord Xia are all surprising, and they are really envious of others. ”

Ding Bochang was more interested in this topic, and immediately said: "It's not, especially the two calculations made by Xia Zixi, which are so inconvenient." Have you tried it, it really works, it's easy to learn. ”

Qiao Qixiong asked, "Bochang has tried?" Is it really easy to use? I had a headache when I saw the numbers when I was a child, although I heard that Xia Zixi had come up with a formula, I really didn't inquire about what was going on. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Yes, yes, everyone has heard of it, and I heard that Xia Shaoqing wrote a few equations for the person who asked. But not everyone knows what it looks like. ”

Shao Yi looked at the gate of the kiln not far away, and there were still people waiting to see if they could still watch some new things.

Listening to the brothers and start talking about the simple algorithm that Xia Yanqing had been using a few days ago, I didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

He knew that those calculations and number notation were not made up by Xia Zixi, but he was not worried about the emperor's suspicions. Because the Xia family has no other thoughts, even if Xia Ke has been in a high position for many years, he has never managed his own power.

The trouble is Xia Zixi, who was forced by the emperor to be a doctor of arithmetic, and it is conceivable that he has a lot of grievances in his heart. In Shao Yi's eyes, Xia Zixi is a real person who is beautiful and beautiful.
