Chapter 1027: The Image of the Prosperous Monarch
The Emperor intends to see how Jinrong will respond to this.
The emperor still remembered that after the sacrifice on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jinkun and Jinyi asked to see each other one after another. They all sincerely expressed their remorse and wanted to share their worries for the country again and for him, who was a father.
That is to say, the vacant position of the crown prince is still tempting to Jinyi and King Fu. This temptation was so strong that his two sons had only been in meditation for two years, and they couldn't bear it anymore and were anxious to jump out.
Jin Kun and Jin Yi have said before that Jin Rong has been at ease outside for more than 20 years, earning private wealth for himself, and the two of them began to serve the country when they were young.
Of course, this statement of sharing worries for the country is only for those who do not know. In fact, who benefits more, father and son know in their hearts.
The problem is that Jinkun and the others did not know each other, and Jinrong was not as harmless as they said.
In fact, according to what Jinrong himself said, he had the heart to be an emperor when he was young, and he was even younger than Jinkun and Jinyi. He has not been at large for more than 20 years, but has endured for 20 years.
In the past 20 years, he has watched the crown prince sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince, watched Jin Yi participate in politics early, and his power has gradually grown, and he has the ability to compete with the crown prince.
Even so, if it weren't for him, the old man, who summoned him from Yuyuan County and forcibly arranged for him to participate in political affairs, I am afraid that this kid is still secretly planning now, accumulating contacts and supporters, in order to make a move at the most critical time and seize the throne that he has been planning since he was a child.
On the other hand, Jin Kun and Jin Yi, with this patience alone, the two of them can't compare with Jin Rong.
Jinrong had a lot of supporters before, and after several years of operation, he has really attracted a lot of supporters.
The emperor wanted to see what he would do in the controversial matter of developing industry, and Jinrong's own idea.
The Ministry of Labor went to Qijia Machinery Workshop to contact the blower. Qiu Runsheng, the manager of the workshop, had already taken the materials and came to the yamen to apply for a patent.
The emperor said before that if Ye Xinyan prepared the account books of the entire research and development process, the imperial court would buy the steam engine patent at the price of two and a half times the silver cost of the research and development.
But when it came to actual operation, probably in order to avoid someone taking the opportunity to seize it by force in the future, the emperor did not let the court officials do it.
Fortunately, Ye Xinyan was not black-hearted, and used a relatively reasonable price to give the patent rights of the steam engine and blower to the imperial court.
Even if this price seemed reasonable to Ye Xinyan, once it was announced, it reached the point of an uproar in the world.
Although the steam engine is rare, its ingenious conception can be called a precedent in history.
However, there are many exquisite utensils and great fortifications of the past dynasties. In the end, either that ingenuity was annihilated by history, leaving only a little splash, or the credit was on the head of the chief official. I have never seen which benefit can fall on the heads of folk workshops.
The steam engine is exquisite, and after all, it is made by the hands of craftsmen. This thing can actually be sold to the imperial court, and it can be sold at such a high price. With such huge returns, does this industry really have great potential and a very bright future?
Then, the steam engines purchased by the imperial court at a high price were not hidden in the workshops under the Ministry of Industry, but were only for official use, but the technology was made public.
In the open space outside the yamen of the Beijing government, the structural principles of the steam engine, and the related parts and components of the technology, all the drawings and documents are posted on the notice board outside the yamen.
For a while, the craftsmen who went to watch were like moths fighting a fire, pouring towards the yamen one after another.
There were many and miscellaneous people, and the officers of the Yamen and the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division had to maintain order, so that there would be no stampede and chaos caused by overcrowding.
There is a saying in ancient times, called: laymen look at the liveliness, insiders look at the doorway. There are many people who come to watch, but there are also many craftsmen who come to see the door and understand it.
In front of the notice board, the general supervisor explained, and the whole picture of the steam engine was displayed in front of the craftsmen. Studying the subtlety and bizarre of the steam engine, subverting the cognition of craftsmen, there is also this move of the technology of the imperial court and the Ministry of Industry.
Craftsmen have always believed in a saying: teach the apprentice, starve the master.
The craftsman business has been around for a long time, starting from the rumored ancestor to open a sect and establish a sect, and it has been passed down to this day for thousands of years. However, there has never been a person who has been able to reveal a profound skill that is rare in the world.
Although the ownership of the steam engine was in the hands of the imperial court, it was not only an eye-opener for the craftsmen to display these skills in front of the craftsmen, but also to make the craftsmen feel good and thus figure out what other dexterous utensils.
This kind of opportunity, which could not be stolen in the past.
The official who explained the steam engine pointed to another notice and continued to explain: Whether it is a craftsman or a wealthy man, anyone who needs steam engine technology and expands the use of steam engine can come to the relevant yamen to negotiate. The imperial court would grant them access to the steam engine at a favorable price.
The entire street in front of Jingzhao Mansion was bustling and crowded for more than half a month before it gradually calmed down. Among them, more than eighty percent of them are watching the excitement.
It was more than eighty percent of the people who watched the excitement that they heard about the wonder of the steam engine.
At the same time, another piece of news added fuel to the fire, making the value of the craftsman hot. There is already definite news that the imperial court is about to give the first batch of highly skilled craftsmen a grade. The craftsman who has been rated will be able to eat the emperor's grain after that.
The people's heated discussion of these news is just a subconscious gossip psychology. The treatment of craftsmen or anything has nothing to do with us ordinary people.
In recent years, the wages of craftsmen have indeed increased, but the real benefits are limited to those who work in the Qi family workshop. As for the craftsmen in other places, they are only more than the original three melons and two dates, which are not much different from the past.
So there's nothing tendentious about these buzzes.
But officialdom and stakeholders are different, and even the students of Guozijian are not very happy with the recent popularity of craftsmen and artisan workshops. These trends will make them lose their nobility when they study hard.
No matter what people's hearts are, at least on the bright side, especially in the eyes of many enthusiastic young students: chasing money has always been despised.
Therefore, in terms of the quality of their pursuit of profits, people who are engaged in business and buy noodles will never be admired by people.
Not to mention, a rough man who does the work with one hand to make a living. The oil on their hands and the mud on their bodies are afraid that they will not be able to wash them off for the rest of their lives, so what qualifications do they have to ascend to the hall of elegance?
As a result, the exhortations of various people flew into the palace like snowflakes, all to dissuade the emperor from following the way of the sage, and not to mess with the rules of the program since ancient times.
The emperor still had Li Mian in his hand and didn't use it, and the folds like snowflakes were also handed over to Li Mian, ready to attack at any time. Therefore, the emperor himself was not much nervous.
While the emperor was waiting, rumors began to circulate among the people of the capital that the development of special power machines was by no means a matter for the craftsman world. The popularization of the steam engine and the expansion of industrialization have many benefits for the people's livelihood.
In this kind of rumor, the Emperor Qianqing of the current dynasty, under the tremendous pressure of the scholars who occupied an absolute advantage in the court of various families and the court, still insisted on putting the people first and tried his best to seek more prosperity and well-being for the people.
Thinking of the greatly reduced labor requisition in recent years, thinking of the prosperity of the capital today, and the fact that under this prosperity, it has become much easier for the people to make a living......
Thinking of what people from all over the world said, how many people have been spared the suffering of service by the fast-flying rail transportation route.
The image of Emperor Qianqing's prosperous Ming Jun quietly rose in the hearts of the people. I want to talk about "Women's Beauty" with more like-minded people; Talk about life and find a confidant~
