In the Forbidden City of Beijing, Hongzhi in the Fengtian Hall was looking intently at the recital sent by Huahou Wei. Xie Qian picked up a copy of the notebook, looked at it and frowned: "Your Majesty, Fu Han wrote a book, saying that His Royal Highness was perverse in Jiangnan, competing with the people for profit, and using shameless means to suppress silk merchants. Your Majesty, is this matter investigated? ”

Hongzhi's eyes swept over, and Xie Qian still had that unarrogant and impatient expression. "Well, Wei'er has already told me about this. Isn't it the new textile machine that has suppressed the price of silk? Hum! Eat the ancient! ”

Li Dongyang shook his head slightly, very disappreciative of Fu Han! There is no need to ask, it must be those silk merchants who are asking for connections everywhere and begging for Fu Hanmen. Fu Han has always been opposed to industrial development, and it happened to hit it off. However, Shilin's emotions still had to be taken care of, so he said: "Your Majesty, Fu Han is not worried, but there are very bad rumors among Shilin. It is said that His Royal Highness King Wu advocates the methods of the Mo family, and in the long run, the country will not be a country. I think I simply followed their wishes, let Tinghe and Jiang Mian lead the team, and also went to Jiangnan to practice. Didn't Your Majesty say that the torch will be passed on? Lord Liu, me, and Yu Qiao are not young anymore. ”

Hongzhi nodded slightly, a little stunned: "Yes, it seems that the water flowing year tree is still like this, always blown away by the rain and wind!" Alas, it has been a long time since Lord Qiu and Lord Xu have been gone, and I often think of them. Yang Tinghe and Jiang Mian are not bad, they are good seedlings, so let's send them to Wei'er to experience them! ”

Yang Tinghe was Zuo Zhongyun of Zhan Shifu Zuo Chunfang at this time, and he was in his early forties and energetic. After receiving the holy decree, he got up and went to find Jiang Mian. Jiang Mian was in the Trademark Office at the moment, and when he saw that it was Yang Tinghe, he got up with a smile and greeted: "Jiefu, I guess you should also come." What do you think? Your Highness, you are more familiar than me, what are the rules of our trip? ”

After Yang Tinghe sat down, he said slowly: "I don't know His Highness very well, and within a few days, His Highness disappeared." But in all fairness, I don't dare to say that I have taught His Highness, His Highness is really unfathomable! ”

"Yes, when I think back to the first time I came to this trademark office, I was really scared. As soon as His Royal Highness makes a move, the Trademark Office will live! Look at the beginning, look at the present, who doesn't want to sharpen their head and drill into it? ”

"Humph! Your trademark office has become the fat of the fart oil crotch, what about me? I knew that it was better for Mao Sui to recommend himself and work in this trademark office! It's all the same hard work, why are you fat? ”

"Hehe, it's cheaper to be caught! Why didn't you come in the first place? Don't talk about this, Jiefu, depending on what Your Majesty means, is it for us to stay in Nanjing for a few more days? ”

"Well, the investigation is a trivial matter, the main thing is to see what disadvantages will arise after the development of industry, and how to overcome it, Your Highness is a person after all, and it is normal to be thoughtful."

Jiang Mian chuckled in his heart, Yang Tinghe was arrogant, and with such a thought, could he still investigate evenly? He asked tentatively, "Jiefu, can we intervene in the matters that Your Highness is worried about?" It's not a good thing to draw a tiger instead of a dog. ”

"No, I've also paid attention to these things that His Highness has made in the past few years, how can I say it? It's all good things, but if they are not used properly, they are even more harmful! Yang Tinghe raised his eyebrows confidently, put the teacup in his hand on the table, and looked forward to himself!

Jiang Mian's heart was half cold, who is that Highness? Since the beginning of the fight, no one has been able to force him! Even His Majesty is coaxing him to work, how can you, Yang Ting and He De, find His Highness's shortcomings? This trip is almost eighty percent worse! But this Yang Tinghe is not the master who can be persuaded, forget it, let's act when the time comes!

In Nanjing Yujin Hall, Mu Shiren was talking with Xue Yuanwai: "Old Xue, this textile machine is really good, it turns out that His Royal Highness was kind to the house at the beginning, if we only make two percent, we won't be able to survive half a month and twenty days!" ”

"Yes, His Highness's grace is really high and long, and I am definitely the only one who looks forward to His Highness! Let me beat the dog and never pick the chicken! This steam spinning machine is truly amazing! In my opinion, within three months, all this investment will come back, and it will be all earned in the future! The white and fat Xue Yuan's face seemed to be blooming, and Le's mouth couldn't close!

Mu Shiren smashed his mouth: "It's just that this steam engine is too expensive, and it is easy to break, if it weren't for these people sent by His Royal Highness, our losses would be great!" Eh, it looks like someone from Kyoto? ”

Huahou Wei greeted him with a smile, Yang Tinghe and Jiang Mian are not strangers, this is the charming eyes of the cheap Lao Tzu! Yang Tinghe arched his hand towards Huahou Wei: "Your Highness, don't come unharmed?" ”

"Master Yang, you're still so good-looking. I heard that your eldest is outstanding? This is your mantle! ”

Yang Tinghe smiled slightly: "Shen'er doesn't have His Highness's demons, Your Highness don't make fun of it!" ”

"Haha, what am I? That is, relying on external forces, if you really talk about it, I am willing to bow down! Lao Jiang, we haven't seen each other for a while, you came back just in time, it is estimated that it will arrive tomorrow as soon as it clears, let's have a good drink! Come on, please! ”

Entering the living room, Yang Ting and Shi Li said: "Your Highness, let's go public before private, I will explain His Majesty's will first, and then let's talk about the old relationship!" ”

Hua Houwei smiled and nodded, and let people put down the incense case, and he sat upright.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says, with Zhan Shifu Zuo Chunfang Zuo Zhongyun Yang Tinghe, Trademark Office Zuo Yushi Jiang Mian, and Fu Han, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, impeached Zhu Houwei, the king of Wu, for competing with the people for profit and oppressing the people! Chin this! ”

Hua Houwei put away the holy decree with a smile, beckoned to serve tea, and then sat down with the guests. Yang Tinghe said with a smile: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has already mentioned it before leaving, Jing Zhiming and I are investigating the case on the surface, but in fact, we are watching the government. I just want to see how His Highness is doing and what the future development of industry will be! ”

"Welcome! Welcome, Master Yang, Lao Jiang, why don't you two stay and help me? I'm too young to be overstretched. ”

Jiang Mian was about to speak, but Yang Tinghe rushed in front of him and said, "Your Highness, as long as Your Majesty agrees, I have nothing to do." ”

Hua Houwei shook his head in disappointment: "My father? His temperament, hehe, is very picky, how can he give up the two of you? Forget it, I won't force you. ”

Jiang Mian sighed in his heart, so he had no choice but to play a round: "Your Highness, I heard that you invented a steam spinning machine?" The price of silk is soaring day by day, and it has been suppressed to one-third of what it used to be? ”

"Haha, isn't that a good thing? Silk is cheap, and the common people can afford to wear it. My goal is one tenth, or even half of it! ”

"Ah, Your Highness, isn't this, isn't this a peasant woman who grows mulberry and raises silkworms to die?" Yang Tinghe couldn't help it, he had already made up his mind about this matter, but he had been holding back, and he couldn't bear it anymore!

"Huh? Right? Master Yang, have you investigated? Is there such a conclusion? ”
