Chapter 646: The Emperor's Ming Expo, for the benefit of the people's livelihood

Taiye Pond belongs to the royal garden.

Under normal circumstances, only princes and princes have the opportunity to enter by order.

This time, Zhu Yijun regularly opened the Taiye Pool to the people of the world, and the holding of the Huangming Exposition was for the subjects of the world to come to watch, which can be regarded as breaking the convention.

However, there was a precedent in history for the regular opening of royal gardens to the common people, and it was during the Song Dynasty that the Son of Heaven would regularly order the opening of royal gardens in order to enjoy the people.

That is, as mentioned in the history books, "Dakai Garden, where the Yellow House rests, and where Luan Rou stays, all have to be viewed and rewarded, and there is no impeachment for life".

Just as the Song people themselves said at that time: "The saints of this dynasty have special favoritism for the people and enjoy the ears of others, so they have not abolished the old system, nor have they tried to add new ones, and they are not intended to be self-indulgent." ”

Now, Zhu Yijun's opening of the Taiye Pool actually means to be happy with the people.

But he not only let the people see the "peerless ingenuity, concentrating skills", but also increased their interest in understanding their own culture and art, so as to enhance national cohesion and make more ordinary people love the country.

In doing so, he also used the gimmick of allowing the people to come to see the royal garden, so that more people could see the handicrafts he brought back from outside, which was conducive to the development of the commodity economy, and in addition, he also used the royal scenery to strengthen the support of these domestic products.

Although there are many brocade guards and pro-military guards around the entire Taiye Pool, in order to do the activities at the same time, the security is not lax, but with the arrival of the expo, the illuminated Taiye Pool still adds a lot of bright and splendid feelings in the solemnity and solemnity.

Booths divided by prefectures in the world are lined up by the poolside.

Among the pavilions and pavilions by the poolside, there are also famous musicians, excellent singers and dancers summoned from various political secretaries, who are performing, and the sound of Yingluo is frequent and the drama is frequent.

As a result, many handicraft specialties are being exhibited at the same time, and many new American songs of the Ming Dynasty are also being staged in turn, so that more people in the world know that the intangible culture of the Ming Dynasty is also changing with each passing day.

As more and more scholars were verified their origins, checked whether there were any forbidden items on their bodies, and entered the Taiye Pool in an orderly manner under the guidance of Jinyiwei, these scholars listened to all kinds of melodious plays rippling from the water, and looked at the various objects on the poolside booth and the exquisite design and exquisite decoration of the entire royal garden.

Historically, in the Wanli Dynasty, the most famous new folk porcelain manufacturing products, such as the Liuxia cup and the egg cup of Wu 19 of the Hugong kiln, as well as the crank wheel and axle spinning wheel from Luzhou, as well as the irrigation artifact siphon and crane drinking vessel from Wang Zheng's "Illustration of the New System" in history, were all exhibited here at this time.

The people who see it are dazzled, and it also reflects the development of the Ming folk handicraft industry in the first 20 years of Wanli.

"How did you come up with this threshing machine?"

"This pumping truck is ingenious!"

"This movable type copper plate is even better than that of the Huitong Museum!"

……

Therefore, after seeing these handicraft products from all over the Ming Dynasty, many people talked about it, and felt great novelty and surprise.

Novelty is naturally a novelty for its innovative ideas.

And surprise is to be happy with the new way to make a fortune that you have already thought of.

"Hurry up to Ganquan and tear off the paper made like 'mulberry paper', but buy all the Sun's Chu leather paper that is kneaded!"

"Be quick! Now that you have seen it, you can't miss this opportunity to make a fortune, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the God of Wealth! ”

After Xue Cheng, the Marquis of Yangwu, saw the Ganquan Sun's paper, he immediately whispered orders to his son Xue Lian.

Xue Cheng looked at the bright moon in the sky as he spoke, and said with an excited face: "This paper will be of great use!" At least it can be used as a banknote. ”

Lingze paper is the best paper in the Ming Dynasty, specially used to make the palace paste pane, so the name is called lintel paper.

Only now, the palace has begun to use large-scale fired glass windows, so it is rare to use mullioned paper.

But people all over the world still call this kind of paper as mulberry paper, and as the benchmark of high-quality paper.

And now after Xue Cheng found that there was a better Sun's Chu leather paper than mulberry paper, he immediately discovered the business opportunity here, and he couldn't wait to seize the business opportunity here.

"Father, why don't you just check the origin of this person first, if the origin is ordinary, there are no prominent people in the family, it is better to find a reason directly to the imperial history, copy his paper mill, take his paper mill craftsman, and then we will make this paper ourselves, and let this paper Yangwu Marquis Mansion Xue Shi paper in the future."

Xue Lian suggested at this time.

Boom!

Xue Cheng directly gave Xue Lian a kick, and then glanced at the brocade guard who was guarding with a knife not far away, and said to Xue Lian: "Lao Tzu really wants to kill you bastard now!" But I'm afraid that killing you in the Royal Inner Garden is disrespectful to the Heavenly Family! ”

Xue Lian hurriedly said aggrievedly: "The son is wrong, the father's lesson is." ”

"Not to mention the problem of being targeted by Jinyiwei, the key is that this paper has been known to His Majesty, and then it has been targeted by so many people, how can you directly rob other people's properties, really Your Majesty doesn't know your thoughts?"

"Say it again!"

"Can you use your brains and think about what Your Majesty is doing this Emperor Ming Expo for, do you really think that the benevolent son of heaven with the ambition of enriching the country and benefiting the people is really giving you the opportunity to rob other people's properties?"

"Tell you!"

"Your Majesty, this is asking you and me to help these people make their own industry into a bigger one! And so that this folk good goods can go to sea and cross the ocean, increase national taxes, and increase industry and commerce! ”

"It's really a new study that Bai has been learning in Jingwei martial arts for so long, not to mention the friendship of compatriots, and making the eating appearance so ugly, I don't know that I think you haven't read Xinxue, and I don't know the truth that it is better to borrow chickens to lay eggs than to kill chickens and take eggs!"

"The market of Dongying and Luzon is not enough for you to make money by reselling his grandson's paper? I have to rob other people's industries and do it myself! ”

"Aren't you afraid that you are the one who made this paper, and you are the one who sells this paper, and then you will be targeted by more people, and even the imperial court will not allow my Xue family?"

After Xue Cheng educated his son Xue Lian, he suddenly realized and said: "However, even you have this idea, maybe there are other powerful people who have this idea, just like this, you personally go to Ganquan to meet the head of his Sun family, and tell him that as long as he is willing to share the money with my Xue family to open branches in Jingshi and other places, our Xue family is willing to contract all the branches of the opening silver, he can be white and red, in addition, our Xue family will not let people worry about his family's industry, only help his Sun family to open their own paper mills all over the world, and even going to sea. ”

"If he refuses, you will let another one percent on behalf of our Xue family, and the bottom line is three or seven points!"

"It's still my father's cleverness!"

"The son is indeed clumsy."

Xue Lian thought about it and understood what Xue Cheng meant by Yangwu Marquis, so he admitted his shortcomings to Xue Cheng.

Xue Cheng saw that his son took the initiative to admit his mistake, and he admired him, and he was also very useful, so he puffed up his chest, and while looking at the lakes and mountains of Taiye Pool, he continued to educate his son and said:

"You have to remember that Your Majesty, as the strongest person in the world, does not directly take the benefits of the people, it must be because it is not cost-effective to directly rob even the Son of Heaven, and even the only person who can take the property of the small people in the world without fear of the king's law, who gave you the courage to dare to take the property of the world?"

"Yes!"

"Son remembered!"

Like Xue Cheng, many powerful bureaucrats and wealthy businessmen participated in the fair, and they started to tap the wealth behind these excellent handicrafts.

Even ordinary people saw these handicrafts and became interested in buying and imitating them.

In particular, the ladies who came to Taiye Pool couldn't wait to buy the exhibits in the place of origin after seeing the many exquisite jewelry, clothing, and rouge gouache on display.

In short, because of such an exposition, for a time many silver dollars began to flow, investment activity also increased substantially, and a new economic growth began to brew and prepare to explode.

And this expo not only allows people to see the opportunity to make money and the desire to consume, but also allows people to get inspiration for innovation.

At this time, Zhao Shizhen and others said to Qi Changguo, who was also the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the official of the temple: "Dasikong, this crank linkage spinning wheel makes me think that if the steam engine we made is improved, it can directly drive the spinning wheel to spin through the steam engine, so that only one steam machine is needed to make many spinning wheels spin at the same time?" ”

"That's a good idea!"

Qi Changguo also said with a solemn face, and then pulled Zhao Shizhen out of the Taiye Pool, ignoring even Shen Shixing and other ministers on the road.

Shen Shixing has always had a good temper, and he is very tolerant of Qi Changguo and Zhao Shizhen, who only love to study and manufacture all kinds of utensils, and does not blame them, but only smiled and said to Wang Xijue, who came to Taiye Pool with him to watch the scenery of the royal garden, and was about to write an article about the Northern Capital:

"The elder of the pavilion is touring the west with His Majesty, do you feel that Your Majesty's impression of us has changed?"

"If it hadn't changed, Your Majesty wouldn't have held this fair."

Wang Xijue said with a smile.

Shen Shixing bowed his head, then took a long breath and said, "Yes, what is the First Emperor of the Ages, this is the First Emperor of the Ages!" ”

"Not only can you wave 100,000 soldiers and make the world ambush millions of corpses, but you can also restrain your murderous intentions and only practice benevolent government and enjoy with the people!"

"Your Majesty does not do evil, to take away the interests of the people, but only for the benefit of the people, and is truly a rare holy lord and benevolent monarch through the ages, and it is precisely because of this that there is today's prosperity of the treasure of the heavens and the joy of the monarch and the people!"

"In this, Yuanfu's ten-year assistance is not small."

Wang Xijue replied at this time.

Shen Shixing waved his hand and said with a smile: "When I meet such a holy son of heaven, the position of the head of the cabinet, even if I am replaced by a clay nerd, as long as I am obedient and assist Your Majesty for ten years, I can achieve this great cause." ”

"Thanks to Yuanfu's advice, the subordinates remembered!"

"It's just that Yuanfu wants to give advice next time, so you don't have to be so subtle and euphemistic."

Wang Xijue said with a smile at this time.
