There was a sudden dead silence in the council chamber! The low status of the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty is the most in the past dynasties! Zhu Yuanzhang has set craftsmen as craftsmen from the very beginning, and their children and grandchildren are all craftsmen, and there is no chance to be an official at all! Even actually already a member of the lower ninth! How could these high-ranking scholars be willing to be on an equal footing with them, or even assigned, by lowly craftsmen?

Hua Houwei saw that everyone was reluctant to spit for a long time, and his heart was sad. "Adults, is the status of a scholar so important? The country is strong and the people are rich and sweep the world, isn't it better than sitting in a well and watching the sky? Is the emperor in the ant nest really comparable to the butler in the rabbit nest? ”

Hongji looked at the ministers and was disappointed. But it is up to them to govern the world, so they can only grieve Hua Houwei. He slapped the table: "Shut up! What do you know? Don't get out of here! ”

Xu Pu sighed and stopped Hongzhi from attacking: "Your Majesty, stop your anger for the time being." What His Royal Highness said is not bad, and the ministers are ashamed! Your Highness, this kind of thing can't be done, do you understand? ”

Hua Houwei was also angry, and shook his head stubbornly: "I don't understand!" Grandpa Xu, if the name is not right, it is not good. If you want to change the bad habits of thousands of years, how can you look forward and cower? Originally, the craftsmen were not bold enough and did not have the support of righteousness, how could they change such a situation? ”

Li Dongyang looked at Hua Houwei and slowly spoke: "Your Highness, we all know your heart. But who doesn't think that overnight, Daming will be able to clear the sea? Don't want the Ming Dynasty to sweep the world and all the countries to come to court? Alas, the human heart! There are many people with different thoughts, how can we be twisted into a rope in a short period of time? ”

"Yes, Your Highness, why is governing a big country like cooking a small fresh? It's not just a policy that can only be seen over a long period of time; There is also the problem of this person who has different hearts and is difficult to exert force. Isn't it a day to form a businessman, how many generations of ancestors, how many princes and generals, their intelligence is lower than ours? Liu Jian also did not agree with Hua Houwei's opinion, and persuaded him bitterly.

Hongzhi knew that what the pavilion elders said was right, and Hua Houwei was a little radical. So he also persuaded: "Wei'er, things can't be done in a day." How can such a big event really be done without thirty or fifty years? Let's talk about the other issues first! ”

Hua Houwei was silent, turned around and walked out of the conference hall. Hongzhi opened his mouth to shout, but Xu Pu shook his head: "Your Majesty, although Your Highness is an unprecedented talent, after all, he is too young to understand human feelings at all. Alas, the old decay also wants to sweep away the filth of the world, can it be done? Let Your Highness be quiet, it takes time to grow! It's just that I'm afraid that the old minister won't see the comeback, and his high-spirited Highness! ”

Hua Houwei walked out of the conference hall and saw Xu Deqiang, who was standing straight, and beckoned: "Old Xu, what is that thing missing?" ”

"Your Highness, the lathe of the silver bureau has not yet been made, and many processes cannot be carried out!"

Hua Houwei stopped and looked at the blast furnace, with indignation in his heart, and shouted: "Ah! A bunch of! I wish you all the best! ”

Zhu Shanqing ran over: "The little one is here." ”

"Let's go, follow me to the silver bureau!"

The silver bureau knew that Hua Houwei had tossed a military battle, and when he saw that it was this young master, he was very attentive. The chief eunuch Wang Zhide ran over and gave Huahou Wei a salute first: "The small one salutes His Royal Highness." Your Highness, aren't you in the War Bureau today? How did you get to this small temple? ”

"I'm going to take a look at the progress of the lathe, and I heard that someone is disobeying?" Hua Houwei was in a very unbeautiful mood, of course he would not have a good face.

Wang Zhide's heart tightened, the master was unhappy, and he was in danger. immediately explained desperately: "Your Royal Highness, the queen mother has made a decree, and the crown prince will perform the crown ceremony soon, and the task in our bureau is heavy, so we really can't draw too many manpower." ”

"Humph! Don't fool me! Take me to see, you haven't moved at all, have you? ”

"How can it? His Royal Highness is also a small master, but he doesn't dare to fool around. Your Highness, please come here. ”

Hua Houwei suddenly saw a passing craftsman polishing the crystal, and a thought popped up at once: "Wait a minute, who is that, oh, Lao Wang, tsk, why does it sound a little awkward?" ”

Wang Zhide looked at Hua Houwei with a wry smile: "Your Highness, it's good that you're happy!" ”

"Lao Wang, do you want to be promoted and make a fortune?"

"Yes! Dream it! Your Highness, what are your thoughts? ”

Zhu Shanqing snorted: "Lao Wang, Xu Deqiang has entered the eyes of His Royal Highness, how big a color have you seen today?" Is it rare for him to soar day by day? Why are you so stupid? ”

Wang Zhidefu was so heartfelt that he immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, I implore Your Highness to teach me!" ”

"Get up! Don't be spineless. Well, that's right! I'm telling you, forget it, bring the paper. ”

After entering the workshop, Hua Houwei sat at the table, took out a small pencil, and began to draw on the paper: "Let me tell you, make two prisms, crystal ones, polished and brightened." Make two more convex lenses and two concave lenses. Um, oh, do a few more. And then make a box like this, and put these in. Hum! Get promoted and get rich? With this, my dad will definitely make you soar! Oh, be careful of secrecy, craftsmen are not allowed to go out. Give it to me as soon as it's ready! Uh, tonight, no, give it to me tomorrow. Hmph, bunch of fools, let them know how wonderful it is to know the world! ”

Wang Zhide didn't understand it at all, but he knew that it was a great credit. solemnly put away the drawings and patted his chest: "Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely send it to you tomorrow!" ”

"Well, okay, I won't look at the lathe. Not in the mood! Remember, the lathe is much more important than this, Lao Wang, hurry up and get it out, that thing makes more money than the gold mountain in your dreams. Oh, glass, forget it, not in the mood! Let's go. Remember, tomorrow! ”

Walking out of the silver bureau, Hua Houwei was at a loss and didn't know where to go. simply turned around and asked, "Zhu Shanqing, I heard that you are quite bold?" ”

Zhu Shanqing smiled: "How many times have my godfather said about me, I can't change it." ”

"Oh? What did he say about you? ”

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!"

Hua Houwei laughed loudly, laughed for a while, and his expression slowly became depressed: "Alas, Shanqing, I know you are also making me happy, but how can I be happy?" Go, take me out of the palace! ”

Zhu Shanqing deserves the name of stunned Qing, and he didn't ask Hua Houwei where he went, he followed Hua Houwei to a secluded place, first stepped on the palace wall with a run, and jumped out. Then an upside-down golden hook grabbed Hua Houwei with both hands, and with a hard effort, the two flew out of the palace wall.

After tidying up his clothes, Hua Houwei looked at the scenery outside and gave a faint order: "Go, go to my master's house to find my senior brother!" ”

Wang Yangming was studying at home, and after listening to the report from the porter, he hurriedly came out. "Temple, oh, why are you here?"

"Senior brother, it's easy to break the thief in the mountain, but it's difficult to break the thief in the heart, how to break the thief in the heart?"
