It is no wonder that the scholars resist the rating of craftsmen. The technical level of the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court was announced, and this grand event let the people of the world know that there is not only one way to study in the world. If you learn a craft well, you can not only feed your family and do it well, but you can also have an identity recognized by the imperial court, and you can also bring glory to your family.

For people from modest or even poor families, learning a trade is more reliable than studying.

If a gifted person learns well, perhaps by chance, he will be able to make something new, apply for a patent from the imperial court, and he will be able to turn it into a lot of silver.

Further, the imperial court can also give a technical level. At this level, a little higher, there is a rice offering from the imperial court. Almost, it can be regarded as a person with status, ordinary wicked people want to be bullied, and they have to suffer lawsuits.

Even if you don't have that talent, you can learn to make a living and earn food for your family. It is much better than the scholar who does not gain fame in the exam, who is full of words, and who has nothing to offer.

King Fu was able to participate in the evaluation of the craftsman level precisely because there were too many opposing voices in the court, and the emperor made concessions.

After the craftsman's skill level was assessed, the emperor did not embarrass King Fu too much, and sent him to receive the errand of the assistant household department.

Fu Wang had been in charge of the engineering department before. Nowadays, the imperial court vigorously advocates the development of industry, and it is the time for the officials of the Ministry of Industry to show their talents and make contributions. However, the emperor sent him an errand from the household department, or an assistant.

After the last purge of the household department, half of the officials were convicted, and the heads who were killed were killed, and the houses were raided, and where could the household affairs still be handled by people, even if the court left it alone, I am afraid that in the next few years, no one would dare to step on the line.

It's basically an idleness.

Thinking about the momentum of approaching the crown prince before, and then thinking about the embarrassment now, King Fu's mood is very unhappy.

When he saw Wang Qiao, he felt even more aggrieved in his heart.

Although Wang Qiao's attitude was still respectful when he saw him, he also explained euphemistically that he couldn't stay in the capital two years ago, and when he planned to return to his hometown, thanks to the eldest uncle of the Qi family who took him in again, he would not be too depressed.

But how can this kind of fluttering explanation dissolve the shame and doubt in King Fu's heart.

On that day, the steward of King Fu's Mansion took a lot of effort to dig Wang Qiao from Guangsha.

After coming to the iron workshop, Wang Qiao did copy the exquisite equipment of the Qijia Machinery Workshop. However, as soon as the iron workshop fell, Wang Qiao returned to the Qijia Machinery Workshop in Qinghe Village, Yuyuan County, and returned to Beijing again within a year.

King Fu didn't believe that a person who had turned his back on his master, after he was down, the master could take him in again so easily and entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

The only explanation: Wang Qiao has never turned his back on the Qi family.

King Fu is confident that he has done a good job of prevention, and Wang Qiao is simply a craftsman in charge of the iron workshop, and nothing else. He had no chance of accessing the confidential affairs of the palace.

Even so, Wang Qiao's malice towards him cannot be erased.

What's more, today's Wang Qiao, by working in the Qijia Machinery Workshop, has taken the limelight and become one of the main manufacturers of power machines, and has become the only two craftsmen in the world.

This is a very dangerous phenomenon. A person who was nothing under King Fu, after following King Yu, became a world-renowned talent.

If anyone else has this kind of thought, Jinrong doesn't need to recruit troops, and rushes to catch up with the people who are attached to him, but I'm afraid that Jinrong will be overwhelmed.

One day after the technical level of craftsmen was announced, the emperor summoned the four ministers of the cabinet to enter the palace as supervisors and officials of the Ministry of Works. Immediately afterwards, Ye Xinyan, Wang Qiao and the old craftsman named Shiyin also entered the palace one after another.

King Fu listened to the report of the little servant and pondered, since the emperor summoned Ye Xinyan and others into the palace, he thought that he was here to discuss industrial and machine matters.

Even if he is not a director of the Ministry of Industry now, he knows that the blast smelting furnace in Huaiyuan County has an efficient and stable output.

Coupled with the new tools introduced by the mechanical workshop in recent years, it is something that can really greatly improve efficiency. If the imperial court vigorously supports the development of industry, I am afraid that in the future, industry will gradually take a leading position.

It's a pity, if he hadn't coveted the small profits of iron ore and iron materials before, today, he would be able to hold the world's leading achievements in his hands.

King Fu sent the little guy who reported the report down, and the regret in his heart lingered, so he simply got up and walked out of the household office. Then, he saw Jinrong walking leisurely and also walked to the side door of the palace.

I don't know if it's psychological induction or what's the reason, I saw that one of Jinrong's feet was raised, but the ghost put it down again and looked back.

The side door of the palace was far away from where King Fu was standing, but King Fu actually saw the smile on Jinrong's face.

After that, His Royal Highness King Yu still maintained a leisurely posture and pace and walked into the palace.

Fu Wang, who was already uncomfortable, was angered by the inexplicable meaning in Jinrong's smile, and the sense of crisis and ruthlessness in his heart completely rose.

If the affairs of the Ministry of Industry have nothing to do with him, then it has nothing to do with Jinrong! At least he has been in charge of the engineering department for many years, and he has many workshops under his name, and he has more experience than Jinrong.

The emperor consulted about the fortifications and should have preferred him.

However, they were also princes, and the emperor called Jinrong, but left him aside.

King Fu's eyes looked at the palace, and he suddenly deepened a little.

Emperor Qianqing has the potential to be a Ming monarch and can grasp the key points of things.

After everyone arrived, the emperor made an opening statement.

The emperor's idea was very good, and originally the imperial court bought the patent for the steam engine, and just do its own thing. However, the emperor wanted to grasp the general direction of the application of the steam engine. So, this seminar was held.

Cheng Dahui talked about the next step of the imperial court's plan, which was to apply the steam engine to the ships.

This plan can be said to be very good, and ships powered by steam engines have incomparable advantages in both transportation and warfare.

Ye Xinyan knew about the trend of the imperial court, as a private construction company with someone above, Ye Xinyan of course had to formulate his next research plan according to the trend of the imperial court, so as not to do repeated research. Not to mention the waste of resources, fighting in the ring with the imperial court is equivalent to arguing with the emperor, and it is certain to suffer losses.

However, the emperor brought them in and said these things to those of them who had no identity, which made Ye Xinyan have a very bad premonition.

The emperor doesn't want to cooperate with the two, does he?

Just when she was suspicious, the emperor spoke: "Jiang Ye Clan, Master Shicai Cheng has already said the direction of the imperial court's research on steam engines. I wonder what the mechanical workshop plans to do next? ”

Ye Xinyan's seat was in a position closer to the emperor, and two female officials in the palace stood behind her.

She saw that Cheng Dahui, Jinrong and others were all looking at her, these people, this is waiting for her to speak, right?

"Returning to Your Majesty." Ye Xinyan owed, "The mechanical workshop plans to use the steam engine for folk textiles. During this period, it was not only necessary to develop the transmission conversion mode of the steam engine, but also to improve the structure of the spinning machine, which was very complicated.
