At the same time as the industry flourished, it would also make the craftsmen's trade prosperous, forming a powerful group second only to the scholars in the court and the people.

The role of these people, at critical moments, is not comparable to scholars and Confucian scholars who talk every day, and these people have a more practical role.

The first batch of craftsmen in the imperial court who have rank and can eat the imperial court are bound to be followed by future craftsmen, and these sought-after craftsmen were born under the rule of Jinrong......

"How many craftsmen are there in the world? This is equivalent to giving King Yu a huge boost. What's more, today's King Yu has gradually gained followers in the court. Liu Chengzhi said with annoyance.

Li Qinhong sighed secretly, Liu Xiang was shrewd, could it be that he only saw the threat of King Yu now?

"Dong Weng knows that there are private rumors among the officials of various ministries in the capital, saying that the court of the crown prince and King Fu is missing, and it is much clearer."

Liu Chengzhi nodded slightly, a little annoyed, and at the same time a little regretful. He had also heard these words, and King Fu did use the power in his hands to cultivate henchmen and seek money.

However, which prince of which dynasty would be satisfied with the customized offerings of the imperial court? If that's the case, what are the many princes fighting for the throne? Just eat that little bit of court food with peace of mind.

What's more, the royal court's gift to the prince will not be extended to his sons and grandsons intact, with the passage of time, the descendants of the previous generation and the previous generation of princes have lived a hard life, and there are many who have completely declined.

King Yu seems to be incorruptible and has never reached out to the treasury and court affairs, but that is because he has enough money in his hands, and it does not necessarily mean how high his character is.

No matter what the crown prince Fu did before, they are at least continuing the orthodoxy of the country left by their ancestors. And King Yu has been willing to degenerate, regardless of the dignity of businessmen and craftsmen, and strive to chase the interests of money.

If a person like King Yu inherits the unification, it is conceivable that the court of the country, the family and the country, the officials and the people will all chase interests, so that the way of the sages will be replaced by money.

At that time, what will the chaos of the Celestial Empire become? Where is the foundation for the kingdoms to submit?

Liu Chengzhi frowned, he could almost imagine that the land of the Celestial Empire, which was now dominating the Central Plains and looked up to by the surrounding countries, was controlled by the flies and dogs. The world does not admire the sages and do not delve into the ways of the sages, but like the women of the Ye family, they think about how to make more money all day long.

Historically, people in business have valued profit over righteousness, and their character is the lowest and most untrustworthy. was such a group of people standing at the top of the Celestial Empire and holding the world's money. Then, the interests of these people, who have been based on cultivation and reading for a hundred years, will inevitably be eaten away by the upstarts who have mastered the mechanical path.

The more Liu Chengzhi thought about it, the more he felt that the situation was serious, and said angrily: "Those courtiers are blind, and they don't understand what kind of disaster King Yu will bring to the court and the world if he promotes industry and commerce like this. It's all a bunch of rat-eyed people, stupid! ”

Li Qinhong nodded, "However, most people in the world don't have such far-reaching vision. King Yu is now gaining momentum, has been promoted in various places of the new farm tools, although it is crowned with the name of the Qi family machinery workshop, but the folk are also rumored, the development and manufacture of farm tools, is the King Yu to promote. The farmers who have benefited will inevitably be grateful for the convenience that King Yu has brought to the people. More importantly, there should be historical records of such a large-scale change in agricultural tools. ”

Li Qinhong said and sighed, in this situation, even if King Yu cannot ascend the throne, his name will be praised by future generations.

If this situation continues, it will be difficult for King Fu, supported by Liu Xiang, to seize the throne. Even if he finally ascends the throne by luck and is reflected by the exploits of Yu Wangze and the people, I am afraid that he will be rumored by wild history and said to be a disdainful person who snatched his brother's throne.

Liu Chengzhi couldn't sit still, "No, you can't continue to let King Yu do whatever he wants in the court." "King Yu's momentum is growing too fast. If this continues, His Royal Highness King Fu is hidden in the mansion, not to raise obscurity, but to raise tigers.

In the absence of another power-grabbing force, King Yu will only stand alone, and more and more ministers will be attached to him. Coupled with the various propositions of King Yu to meet the emperor, in the eyes of the emperor, King Yu already has a status that other princes cannot reach.

The situation is so grim that King Fu can no longer continue to leave the court.

As a staff member who is well aware of Liu Chengzhi's political views, Li Qinhong also feels the same way, and he proposed: "It has been two years since the orbital materials case. In a few days, it will be the New Year, and at the beginning of the new year, the royal sacrifice ceremony will be held, and the abolished prince and the blessed king will participate in the ceremony. King Fu can take this opportunity to express his repentance to the Holy Lord, and it is better to come back as soon as possible. ”

Liu Chengzhi nodded: "It's exactly what I want." His Royal Highness's fault is not the same as that of the Crown Prince. Thinking about it, two years have passed, and the saint's anger should also be gone, if King Fu expresses enough repentance, it is not difficult to come back. ”

King Fu has been out of the court for a short time, and King Yu has made so many things, although the momentum has soared, but it has also touched the interests of many people. As long as there is an opportunity, these people will be attached to another prince who has the ability to win the throne and has a political disagreement with King Yu.

Those who are touched by the interests of the craftsmen...... Liu Cheng's heart moved, and he thought of the Qingliu faction that was praised by readers.

"It's hateful that Ji Xiaoyuan was burdened by the concubine of the Ye family, and now his reputation has dropped greatly. Otherwise, it would be much better to let the scholars of the world come forward to ask for their lives than for officials such as us to speak hard in front of the emperor. ”

That Ji Xiaoyuan is a person who is very good at selling his reputation, if his reputation is still there, as long as he says a few ambiguous words on a specific occasion, there will be followers who will ask for his life. It's just that...... It's a pity.

Li Qinhong persuaded: "Dong Weng should go to King Fu to discuss first, as long as King Fu can come back, even if there is no Ji Xiaoyuan, there are many scholars in the world." What's more, there are so many big families, and many people work together, and there is always some effect. ”

The key is that the king of Fu appeared in the court again, giving hope to many subordinates. To put it bluntly, it is said that businessmen seek profits, but who in the world does not calculate a lot for their own interests?

As long as King Fu can bring benefits to those people, even if they didn't support it before, it won't prevent them from assisting King Fu now and jointly overthrowing King Yu and King Yu's claims.

Jinrong took on the emperor's errand this time and went to settle the mechanical workshop for the New Year's affairs. He estimated that it was time for Jiang Yifan to go to the office, and he took Hu Jing to the mechanical workshop to do an errand sent by the emperor to him.

When Jinrong and Jiang Yifan got together, they did not convey the holy will to the craftsmen and masters of the workshop for the first time, but occupied the room where Ye Xinyan was doing things, retired the idlers, and talked privately together.

Jinrong sneered and said disdainfully: "I can see that Liu Chengzhi is anxious." Obviously, his father's intention was already obvious, but Liu Chengzhi was still trying his best to refute it, wanting to prevent his father from implementing the craftsman rating system. "I want to talk about "Women's Expensive" with more like-minded people; , talk about life, find a confidant~
