Suzhou Panmen Ruiguang Tower.

Zhang Tianyou stood on the tower, looking at the No. 1 spinning factory surrounded by tens of thousands of weavers, his face full of playful disdain.

He was fantasizing about what he would do if he was the grandson of the Ming Emperor.

With the imperial court at his back, with the support of an imperial grandfather like Butcher Zhu, the full cooperation of the prefect of Suzhou, and the army of the guard that can be mobilized at any time, even a few businessmen can't deal with it?

Or is it that Zhu Yunxi is a waste, and he doesn't know that someone is dealing with him until now?

Even if he didn't know it at first, he should have realized the problem when Sun Yuan burned the official warehouse last time, right?

Zhang Tianyou couldn't figure out why Zhu Yunxi knew that there were businessmen secretly competing with him, but he was always reluctant to mobilize the army.

Could it be that Zhu Yunxi is really as benevolent and righteous as the world says?

Zhang Tianyou shook his head bitterly when he thought of this.

Their old Zhu family can have ruthless, greedy, violent and other bloodlines, but there should be no such thing as benevolence and righteousness.

The real benevolence and righteousness are like his father Zhang Shicheng, even if he has been dead for almost 30 years, he is still remembered by the people of Suzhou City!

Zhang Tianyou looked at it for a while, and suddenly greeted the air around him with a "Acacia", and only after saying that he realized that for the sake of insurance, he didn't go to Qin Xiangsi when he came back this time, and even Qin Xiangsi didn't know that he was back.

Zhang Tianyou sighed, feeling that it was time for him to find a new confidant.

Although Qin Xiangsi is not there, Zhang Zhong, the old man of the Zhang family, is.

Zhang Zhong was originally Zhang Shicheng's adopted son, known as the fifth prince by outsiders, and was Zhang Shicheng's most powerful subordinate during his lifetime.

After Zhang Shicheng's defeat, Zhang Zhong fled with Zhang Shicheng's young son on his back, evading the pursuit of Zhu Yuanzhang's men along the way, which preserved Zhang Shicheng's last bit of blood.

Therefore, his feelings for Zhang Tianyou are very complicated.

Genealogically speaking, he is Zhang Tianyou's brother-in-law, but emotionally speaking, he plays the role of a father more often.

Now seeing Zhang Tianyou's lonely face, Zhang Zhong's heart is full of sourness.

"If the young master misses Mrs. Qin, the old slave can bring Mrs. Qin out!"

"Thank you for the kindness of the fifth brother, I won't lose my soul for a woman......

"Besides, for the sake of a woman, you can't afford to lose a sibling like the fifth brother, so let that woman stay under the surveillance of Jinyiwei, it seems that Jinyiwei will not deal with a female streamer."

Zhang Zhong smiled when he heard this, hid aside and turned into a silent back.

"Fifth brother, you said that in our lifetime, can we still avenge our father?"

Zhang Zhong was even more silent when he heard this, they were so strong back then, and they didn't kill Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still rising. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang has been in the Central Plains for more than 20 years, why are they still fighting?

But this kind of thing can only be thought of in the heart, not spoken by the mouth.

After all, he and Zhang Tianyou have lived on this hatred for nearly 30 years.

Seeing that Zhang Zhong didn't speak, Zhang Tianyou said to himself.

"I really hope that Zhu Yunxi can die, so that after the loss of his son, Zhu Butcher can experience the pain of losing his grandson again......

When Zhang Zhong heard this, he suddenly spoke.

"The young master wants to assassinate Zhu Yunxi?" ….

Zhang Tianyou did not shy away from it, and nodded honestly.

"That's nature!"

"I want to kill him in my dreams, but we don't need to do this, let's ask the White Lotus Sect to do it!"

"Is King Xiao Ming in the same vein?"

"Hehe......"

When Zhang Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but show a sneer on his face.

When they were against the Yuan back then, they just needed a person to pick the head, which is why there was the so-called King Ming.

When they gained a firm foothold and had their own territory, King Xiao Ming became a waste, and was finally drowned by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhang Tianyou heard Zhang Zhong's ridicule, his face was also a little unbearable, and he hurriedly explained.

"Fifth brother, don't laugh, I also know that they are unreliable, so I just give them some money to send them, it doesn't matter if it can be done or not."

"Relatively speaking, I have to bother the fifth brother for the past few days, go to Annan, and bring my sons over to settle down."

Zhang Zhong's face suddenly became solemn when he heard this.

"Young Master, have you finally decided?"

Zhang Tianyou nodded heavily.

"Yes!"

"The navy of the Ming Dynasty is about to be built, and once the navy is completed, the Ming Dynasty will no longer have the opportunity for maritime smuggling, and our power entrenched in the sea will also encounter a key blow from the Ming army."

"Therefore, let's transport the money to Annam in advance and go there to be a prince."

Zhang Zhong also supports this strategy, especially now that the political situation in Annam is unstable, the Chen family has shown that he cannot control the situation of Annam's national politics, and the country's major affairs are controlled by the powerful minister Li Jichen, as long as they bribe the Li clan, they can easily get a port in Annan, as well as a piece of land.

The reason why they chose Annan is also a lot of considerations.

First of all, Annan's writing and customs are close to those of the Central Plains, and it has been subject to the Central Plains Dynasty since the Tang and Song dynasties, and a large number of people from the Central Plains Dynasty have migrated there.

Secondly, Annam is full of ports, which is very suitable for maritime trade, as well as pirate business.

In the end, Annan was weak.

As long as they give the Zhang family a few generations, it may not be impossible for the emperor of Annan to change his surname to Zhang!

This is also the biggest expectation of Zhang Tianyou and others.

After all, taking Chinese history as an example, the Tian family can replace Qi, and he Zhang can naturally also act as Chen!

"Please rest assured, the old slave will make proper arrangements for a few young masters, as well as a few ladies......

"With the fifth brother taking care of me, what else do I have to worry about?"

After Zhang Tianyou said this, he looked at the noisy scene below, and a wicked smile appeared on his face.

"It's just that when you leave, you have to set a fire to Daming, hahaha!"

After Zhang Tianyou laughed presumptuously, his eyes suddenly saw a touch of vermilion.

In the Ming Dynasty, vermilion is a very noble color, and only the royal family and high-ranking officials can use it.

Immediately after, he heard a commotion from below.

"The Imperial Grandson has arrived!"

"All the soldiers and civilians are waiting to kneel and greet you!"

When Zhang Tianyou heard this voice, his brows couldn't help frowning.

"Why is Zhu Yunxi here?"

Although no less than 20,000 people gathered at the gate of the No. 1 spinning factory, as soon as they heard that the frame of the imperial grandson had arrived, everyone knelt down honestly.

Zhu Yunxi sat in the carriage, looked at the black head below, and suddenly thought of an allusion in his heart, an allusion called Sarajevo. ….

If someone suddenly came out of the crowd and shot a few arrows at him, he wouldn't have been shot dead on the spot, right?

Zhu Yunxi subconsciously touched his clothes, feeling the hardness and coldness of the soft armor inside the clothes, and he was a little relieved.

As the carriage moved, the crowd kneeling on the ground automatically gave way for Zhu Yunxi's carriage to enter the factory.

Zhu Yunxi entered the factory gate, and immediately led four brocade guards holding shields to a high platform.

At the beginning, no one knew why the imperial grandson wanted to build a high platform in the factory, let alone what the several loudspeakers on the high platform were used for.

It wasn't until Zhu Yunxi stood on top and shouted at the tens of thousands of weavers gathered in front of the factory that they realized that the emperor's grandson had expected today.

When Zhang Qinglai saw Zhu Yunxi standing on the high platform, he only felt that his heart was surging and his blood was surging.

Although he didn't know how the imperial grandson expected this, and it had been arranged in advance when the factory was built.

But he knows one thing, that is, at this moment, Zhu Yunxi is a god!

"Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, I know why you are here to make trouble, and I know what you want!"

"All you ask for is to feed your family!"

The ordinary people kneeling down heard Zhu Yunxi's thoughtful words, and they were moved to tears one by one.

There is that emotional person, who even blames himself for fanning his mouth, secretly scolding himself for not being a thing.

They all made such a fuss that they almost set fire to other people's factories.

However, instead of being a little angry, the imperial grandson understood their situation so well!

"Emperor Sun Shengming!"

"It's not that we want to go against the imperial grandson, it's really that we have no way to live, and please have mercy on the imperial grandson and give us the people a way to live, woo woo woo......

After an old man of a certain level said this, all the weavers behind him repeated with tears in their eyes.

"Please have mercy on the emperor!"

"Ask the emperor's grandson to give him a way to live!"

Although the slogan was not neat at first, after the crowd shouted it several times, the frequency of the slogan gradually became the same.

Zhu Yunxi listened to the more and more neat slogans, and secretly calculated that this matter was a bit accidental, a little inevitable, and a little organized.

So far, it's not bad, although there are people with ulterior motives in it, but it's basically just for the sake of mixing bowls of rice.

It just so happens that he is in urgent need of people here, and it can be said that Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer.

After everyone vented their emotions, Zhu Yunxi re-aimed at the loudspeaker and shouted.

"Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, don't worry, Lone will definitely give you a way to live!"

"Next, Lone wants to open the second and third textile factories of the Manufacturing Bureau, and Lone wants to recruit 20,000 weavers in Suzhou!"

When the people below heard this, they all rejoiced.

But there are also many people who don't believe it, feeling that the government is slandering them, and when they get rid of the lake, it shouldn't count.

Therefore, the old man kneeling at the front spoke again.

"Dare to ask the imperial grandson, what you said is true, you will really hire 20,000 weavers?"

"In addition, how to calculate the salary, whether it is calculated by the day or by the living......"....

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he looked at the old man below in surprise, and said in his heart that this old man is very bright, suitable for being a guild leader (anti-harmony typo) or something.

"It's hard to say how much you pay!"

"Can't say?"

The weavers below collectively blew up when they heard Zhu Yunxi's words.

"Imperial grandson, why can't you say anything!"

"Aren't you the grandson of Emperor Daming, it's not your word to give more and less?"

"Yes!"

"You are the emperor's grandson, the biggest official outside of the emperor, isn't it what you say?"

Zhu Yunxi laughed when he heard this.

"Folks, listen to Lonely!"

"The reason why Lone can't say it is because Lone doesn't know how capable you are!"

"When you used to work in other people's workshops, the owners of other people's workshops also had to let you try your work to see how you could put the price at the price, right?"

When everyone heard Zhu Yunxi say this, they also burst into laughter.

The old man kneeling at the front laughed even more, and whispered to the people next to him.

"This grandson is not bad, he is a baby who knows what to do!"

"Shhhhhh

"Daddy Xu, you don't want to die, but you are the emperor's grandson, you actually call someone else's grandson?"

Father Xu is the old man who talked to Zhu Yunxi for the majority of weavers, and when he heard such a reminder from the person on the side, he said with disdain.

"Let's stay away from him, he can hear it!"

"But the emperor has given birth to a good grandson, who can speak, and is sensible, and he can be a good emperor in the future!"

After Daddy Xu finished muttering with the people on the side, he immediately raised his head and shouted to the top.

"Imperial grandson, you draw a line, as long as it is not too much worse than the workshop outside, we will mess with you in the future!"

Zhu Yunxi heard the words and watched it playfully

to the little old man on the ground.

"Daddy Xu, you look down on people a little bit, why is it not much worse than the workshop outside?"

"Lone is the grandson of the Ming Emperor, the richest person in the Ming Dynasty. You let Lone's salary go down, where will Lone's face go?"

"Lonely, leave the words here today, and follow the lonely, if you can't double your income compared to before, you can secretly draw a villain and curse Lone!"

Zhu Yunxi's words once again caused the people to laugh, and even Father Xu grinned widely.

It's just that Daddy Xu laughed for a while, suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked the young man on the side.

"Wang family baby, why did the imperial grandson call us just now?"

"Call you Daddy Xu!"

The people on the side also hurriedly chimed in.

"That's right!"

"We all heard it, the emperor's grandson personally called you Daddy Xu, your old face can be big, hehehe......

When Father Xu heard this, a layer of dense sweat broke out on his head.

"Dafa Dafay!"

"The imperial grandson must have heard us whispering, and then he knew that my surname was Xu......

"Uh-uh......"

A few men who were laughing heard this, like a goose that had been choked by the neck, and instantly became dumb.

The platform where the imperial grandson is standing is a zhang high from the ground, and they can still be heard muttering so quietly? ….

In addition, the platform is still two miles away from them, isn't it that the emperor's grandson has a tailwind ear?

Zhu Yunxi couldn't have imagined that his "pro-people" move would scare some people into not daring to speak.

However, he didn't know it at this time, and he was secretly proud of his pro-people behavior.

"Lone Tomorrow is here to recruit craftsmen and put them under the name of the Manufacturing Bureau."

"As long as you pass the assessment, you can become a regular employee under the name of the Manufacturing Bureau!"

"When the time comes, someone will personally test your skills, and the more skilled you are, the more things you know, the higher your rating, and the higher your wages......

Zhu Yunxi said a few more words to everyone, and then waved his hand at everyone.

"It's all gone, hurry home and get ready, come over early tomorrow and line up!"

When everyone saw the emperor say this, they got up from the ground and dispersed.

The next day, at the gate of the No. 1 spinning mill near Panmen, thousands of people gathered early in the morning.

Some of them came in the middle of the night, afraid that they would not be in line the next day.

Chen Jiu and his wife were in this group of people, and they didn't dare to go together even if they were relieved, so they wanted to leave one to stay where they were.

The imperial grandson made it very clear that only 20,000 people were recruited.

However, they know better that there are as many as 100,000 weavers in Suzhou, so if they don't come to line up early, what should they do if the imperial grandson is full in advance?

The emperor's grandson put the machine that doesn't use manpower, and specially rewarded them with a mouthful of food, which is already the emperor's grace, who would dare to expect the emperor's grandson to take out another 10,000 rice bowls?

When the sun was rising, the people who came to realize it arrived and saw that there was already a long queue at the door, and they beat their chests one by one with remorse.

I knew there would be so many people, they wouldn't have been home yesterday!

However, it was too late to regret it now, and they could only pray that they would be recorded.

While everyone was beating drums and waiting anxiously, the gate of the No. 1 Spinning Factory opened, and two hundred people carrying stools and chairs, as well as people dressed as scholars, carried boxes of pen, ink, paper and inkstone in their hands.

The person in front of him straightened the table and chair, and the person dressed as a scholar in the back immediately sat down, and then spread out the pen and paper on the table.

The people who were in charge of carrying the tables and chairs before did not retreat, but stood silently aside, responsible for organizing the order of the scene.

"Everyone obeys my orders and divides into a hundred teams......

"Take this as a benchmark and ...... from here to the back."

Those who didn't grab the front row before suddenly saw that there were suddenly ninety-nine more front rows, and they immediately disappeared

The crowd crowded in the queue and hurried to the cards that no one was standing yet.

After some confusion, the line gradually changed from bloated and lengthy to a hundred neat queues.

"The one standing at the front comes forward to register!"

"Mr. Ren asks what he says, don't lie and conceal it, once it is found out that he lied in the future, the emperor's grandson will never be hired!"

"Who's that...... Come here!"

Hearing this, Chen Jiu hurriedly rushed over and nodded at the scholar.

However, people didn't bother to look at him at all.

These scholars are talented students transferred by Zhu Yunxi from Suzhou State School, all of them are famous scholars, and they are all arrogant and arrogant. ….

"Name?"

"Chen Jiu!"

"Origin?"

"People from Yushan Town, Kunshan County, Suzhou Prefecture......"

"Dingkou?"

"An aunt, a son and a daughter......

"Specialty?"

This time, Chen Jiuke was stunned and hurriedly asked.

"Dare to ask sir, what is a specialty?"

The gentleman replied impatiently.

"Just ask what you're going to do!"

"Oooh...... The little ones can weave silk, and they can also weave silk and brocade, and all the weavers will not know how to weave them."

"The little ones can also repair looms, and when I used to work in the weaving bureau, I helped repair many looms......

Hearing this, the scholar raised his head reluctantly and glanced at Chen Jiu with disdain.

"Are you a deserter from the Manufacturing Bureau?"

When Chen Jiu heard this, he was so frightened that his face was bloodless on the spot, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Mr. spares his life, the small one is also a temporary lake, greedy for the high price offered by the shopkeeper, this is the ......

The scholar waved his hand impatiently.

"Someone!"

"Send this person to the government and deal with it as a deserter!"

After the scholar said this, two men came over on the spot and dragged Chen Jiu out. Chen Jiu's mother-in-law, Wang Siniang, saw that her man was being dragged away, so she rushed over on the spot.

"What are you doing, why are you dragging my family's men!"

"Your man is a deserter and has violated the king's law!"

"Ah......h

The commotion here quickly attracted the attention of many people. They saw that it was so miserable to work as craftsmen for the government, and they all had the idea of quitting.

While earning money is important, the status of a freeman is even more important.

Besides, they are a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, as long as they have hands and feet to do something, they can support their family Hukou, and there is no need to sell themselves to the government for a few pennies.

When the two soldiers dragged Chen Jiu out, some craftsmen who were queuing up also quietly walked out of the line.

Zhu Yunxi, who was observing in the dark, just bragged to Zhang Qinglai about how he did the bureau, how he deceived the local businessmen in Suzhou to dismiss the weavers, and then recruited a large number of weavers for the manufacturing bureau, when he happened to see a group of people walking out.

Zhu Yunxi ordered everyone to stop them on the spot and asked them why they left.

"Why did you leave?"

"We eat based on our ability, and we don't sell it to the government, why do we arrest people at every turn!"

"Who's caught?"

"Who's that...... Aren't you being dragged out by someone?"

After Zhu Yunxi figured out the reason, he ordered someone to bring Chen Jiu over on the spot.

Chen Jiu saw that it was the grandson of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty standing in front of him, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"The emperor's grandson spares his life, the little one is also a lake for a while, and he is greedy for the high wages outside, so he becomes a deserter!"

"Please give the little one another way to work, the little one can work, the one can repair the loom, the little one can do anything, woo woo woo ......

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he became interested.

"Yo!"

"I'm still a technical talent!"

"Get up, you don't have to kowtow to Lonely

Please."

"It is only natural that you should go wherever the wages are high. If you can find a place with a higher wage than Gu's place in the future, you can always go."

….

"Come and pass on Lone's order to abolish the craftsman registration of all craftsmen in Suzhou Weaving Mansion!"

"At the same time, all craftsmen recruited this time are not allowed to become craftsmen."

As soon as Zhu Yunxi's words came out, Chen Jiu and his wife, who were kneeling on the ground, were full of disbelief, and Zhang Qinglai, who was standing on the side, opened his mouth in surprise.

The emperor's move is to change the system of His Majesty the Emperor without authorization, and once he is impeached by someone with a heart, it will inevitably cause His Majesty the Emperor's dissatisfaction.

"Your Highness, please think twice!"

"The craftsman is the fundamental system of the Ming Dynasty, how can it be easily abandoned?"

"Even if you want to abandon the craftsman's certificate, you need to explain it to His Majesty the Emperor, this is an expedient measure......

Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly when he heard this.

"I, Zhu Yunxi, have acted all my life, so why do I need to explain it to others!"

When Zhang Qinglai heard this, he was called a sweat in his heart, the emperor's grandson was a teenager in the end, and he didn't think about it.

Besides, this kind of rebellious words can also be said, if this reaches the ears of the emperor, this grandson must not be beaten to death.

Compared with Zhang Qinglai's worries, Chen Jiu and his wife were overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to Zhu Yunxi.

"The villain bows to thank the emperor's grandson for his great kindness, long live the emperor's grandson......

Zhang Qinglai saw that the two of them even shouted "Long live", and hurriedly scolded loudly.

"Shut up!"

"Long live is only available to His Majesty the Emperor, you are going to kill the emperor's grandson!"

However, what made Zhang Qinglai collapse even more was the attitude of the imperial grandson.

"Lao Zhang, don't be too nervous, Gu has already accepted the mountain call of the military and civilians, and the imperial grandfather is not the slightest angry......

When Zhang Qinglai saw the emperor's grandson say this, he could only stand aside stupidly and face the two escapees.

"Come on, take them to re-register, tell the person in charge, and say that the crown prince has forgiven the two of them."

"In addition, the craftsmen recruited this time are not registered as craftsmen, but they are also not registered as civilians, and they are separately registered as workers for subsequent reference......

When Zhu Yunxi heard the word "work registration", his eyes also lit up.

"Yes, yes, the work registration is good, and it will be called the work registration in the future!"

Zhang Qinglai saw that the imperial grandson agreed with his idea, and he was also very relieved.

In this way, at least there is a buffer, even if he is impeached, the imperial grandson can make up for it afterwards.

Just as Zhu Yunxi's side was proceeding in an orderly manner, a fast horse suddenly galloped over, shouting as he ran.

"His Royal Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

Jin Yiwei ran over with a shield on the spot and protected Zhu Yunxi.

When Zhu Yunxi heard the voice of the person, he immediately heard who the person was, and hurriedly let the guards disperse.

"All disperse, it's Lan Chun!"

When the guards heard that it was Lan Chun, they removed their shields and dodged a crack to let Lan Chun in.

Lan Chun crawled to the ground in front of Zhu Yunxi, fell to his knees with a thud, hugged Zhu Yunxi's thighs and cried.

"Your Highness, save Wechen's father, Wechen's father was sent to prison by His Majesty, and Wechen's entire family was also arrested......

"If it weren't for Wechen who was out on business at the time, Wechen should have been in the edict of Fusi in Beizhen at this time, woo woo woo ......

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, his brain "buzzed".

"How is this possible?"

"The emperor's grandfather is measured, it's not a big deal, and he won't deal with his uncle at all!"

"Lan Chun, tell Gu, what happened to your father?"

Lan Chun looked at Zhu Yunxi with tears on his face, and spit out two words with difficulty.

"Rebel ......".

Fiery chicken fir
