Eleven Niang is also a little impetuous, not as insomnia as King Jin, she is not at all at ease, at this time appeared at the corner gate of the bamboo garden, of course, not to hear about the two "unknown people" fight, let alone to inspect the secret road project, but to go to the West Outer Garden through the shortcut outside the corner gate, how to get closer, but saw the king of Jin and a muddy face and a stupid girl standing side by side, immediately confused.

It wasn't until the stupid girl rushed forward and couldn't wait to open her mouth to speak, that Eleven Niangfang suddenly realized that it was Ai Lu.

"How did you get it like this?" Eleven Niang pinched Xiao Su on Ai Lu's head, and then found that her fingertips were stained with dirt.

"This girl can't sleep in the middle of the night, trying to use the earth to practice martial arts." He Ye was extremely unkind to joke.

"Princess, Your Highness wants to buy the servant as an apprentice, and the servant sees that His Royal Highness is indeed extraordinary, and she also admires it, but if the princess does not allow it, the servant will never agree." Ai Lu was busy showing his loyalty.

Although Eleven Niang was also surprised, she couldn't figure out why He Ye wanted to "buy" Ai Lu, but how arrogant was Jin Wang Ye? It's rare that he took the initiative to point out Ai Lu's martial arts, and Eleven Niang naturally wouldn't be ignorant.

"It is also your luck to be able to worship His Royal Highness as a teacher, but you still need to be cautious in this matter, and in front of outsiders, you can't call the king a master." Eleven Niang admonished her, and then asked He Ye: "Why did Your Highness come here?" ”

"If you can't sleep and wander around, does the princess feel uneasy?" He Ye asked.

"I was just going to go to the Outer Garden Embroidery Workshop to have a look." Eleven Niang said.

King Jin accompanied him as a matter of course, but he still felt surprised in his heart: "In the middle of the night, why did the princess suddenly want to go to the embroidery workshop?" ”

The embroidery workshop that the two said, in fact, is not the needlework of the Jin Palace, it turned out that Qiao Niang and Liang Song were in Chang'an when the embroidery girl was invited, this time also came to Jinyang with the King of Jin and his entourage, but Ni Zhen Clothing Workshop has not been opened in the city at the moment, Eleven Niang will clean up a mansion in the West Garden, used as a placement, Liang Song has recently been busy running around to continue to recruit clothes embroidery Niang, and dozens of people have been added one after another, and now these workers are also divided into several batches, day and night to catch up with the clothes, but Eleven Niang is entangled in trivial matters, and rarely visits in person, Not to mention the middle of the night.

"I was thinking that since the Queen Mother listened to Xu Xiuneng's advice, she had already decided to order the local government to open official kilns, and Taiyuan Mansion should be no exception." Eleven Niang walked on the side.

He Ye frowned: "The new policy has not yet been implemented, and the people of Taiyuan Mansion are panicking at the moment. ”

"That being said, if you disobey the edict, wouldn't it give Mao Wei a chance to instigate?" Eleven Niang's expression was not easy: "If the new policy is to be implemented smoothly, whether it is me or the sixth brother, we must not lose the support of the Queen Mother." ”

Seeing that He Ye was getting more and more annoyed, Eleven Niang slightly soothed her solemn expression: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much, in fact, even if the new policy is implemented, we still can't completely solve the shortcomings of insufficient land grants, and some farmers and ordinary people have been able to reduce taxes, but there are still many customers in Taiyuan Mansion, they don't plough the fields at all, but they can't be exempted from taxes, how can this part of the population live and work in peace and contentment?" Therefore, I thought that when the edict of the official kiln of Guangkai was issued, perhaps I should try to advise the Queen Mother, and the products of the official kiln of Taiyuan Mansion could be resold by merchants from all over the world. ”

He Ye raised his eyebrows: "The princess is planning to ......"

"Yes, I plan to have the Jin Wangfu take full control of the Taiyuan official kiln."

"Xu Xiuneng suspected that I had ill intentions, I'm afraid I won't let the princess take advantage of it, right?"

"Although he got the opportunity to turn over so quickly, but last time, because he strongly recommended the king of Shu to be the Taiyuan Mu, he suffered that big dumb loss, and he must not dare to be careless at this time, Xu Xiuneng's hope is just to worship the central position and the ministers in the future, not our mortal enemy, so this sub-city government, when you know that it is not beneficial to be hostile to the Jin Wangfu at present, so in my opinion, he will not be willing to take risks and act against others and himself." Eleven Niang said eloquently: "Besides, the Queen Mother, even if she is worried about the emptiness of the inner treasury, it is not enough for her to squander, but the current situation is like this, she will definitely not see Pan Liao's army attacking Jinshuo, since the new policy can not be implemented smoothly in the short term, if I propose to supplement the military needs with the profit of the kiln, the Queen Mother should not object, after all, Taiyuan Mansion only governs fourteen counties, and there is no shortage of official kilns in these fourteen counties. ”

These words are to explain the feasibility of the countermeasures, and Eleven Niang then said: "Porcelain glaze and even including splendid scroll paintings and other things, although it is not necessary for the toiling people to consume, it is undeniable, but it is cherished by the royal nobles, and the official kilns are set up widely, in fact, it may not necessarily squeeze the poor, mainly depends on how the executor, specifically, if many craftsmen can ensure that they are paid according to their work, so that the family has no worries about food and clothing, and it is not even a bad government." ”

But now the officialdom is corrupt, the queen mother adopted the advice of setting up official kilns, just to ensure that the royal family squandered, then it will inevitably cause land annexation to become heavier, more farmers become craftsmen, even if they work hard day and night, they are not allowed to have food and clothing, Eleven Niang has no way to stop this bad consequence, the only thing she can try is to ensure that the people under the rule of Taiyuan Mansion will not be more difficult.

"The reason why I went to the embroidery workshop late at night was to test whether this idea was feasible." Eleven Niang said.

Embroidery girls are women, even many clothing workers are actually women, the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty are certainly civilized, not to advocate women to go out to work, these embroiderers, if not because of the lack of livelihood, will also be content in the back house, want to be more than when the eyebrows of the man after all is a minority, not the mainstream, for women, more is expected to teach husband and children, and there is no ambition to "make a name for themselves".

Eleven Niang actually didn't want to inspect the progress of the embroidery girls' work, she wanted to understand the real desire of this group of civilians struggling at the bottom of the society.

Since ancient times, there is a class division of agriculture and industry, the peasants are second only to the scholars, of course, no one is willing to fall into the industry and commerce, but in the general environment, that is, there is no land to grant restrictions, the real farmers are actually unbearable to work hard, Shi Niang is to understand, if you can get food and clothing without worry, whether the people can be satisfied.

To put it bluntly, it is whether or not they are willing to give up the superiority of the "peasant" class and be willing to become a craftsman.

Although dozens of embroidery girls are far from representing the entire class, it is also beneficial to learn about it from the side when they have nothing to do.

He Ye was also deeply thought about by Shi Niang's words: "Since ancient times, although the prosperous era is enough for most farmers to live and work in peace and contentment, the rule of the prosperous era is rare, and the peasants and the common people are actually suffering from hard work, excessive taxes, and frequent disasters and epidemics. ”

"The magnates encroached on the land of the people, and it was not the Great Zhou Dynasty." Eleven Niang was also very troubled, and she didn't even notice that she had transcended the restrictions of family feuds and began to worry about the birth of the community.

Unconsciously, the two of them had already walked a long distance, knocked on several curfews, and finally arrived at the temporary embroidery workshop in the West Garden, and Eleven Niang came back to his senses: "Your Highness is inconvenient to communicate with me with the embroiderer, right?" ”

Before the words fell, he heard a voice: "Your Highness, the princess." ”

But it was Lu Li who was not far away, and he would see him at this time.

Even if Lu Li lives in the Jin Palace, of course, he will not live in His Royal Highness's inner house, so it is completely inevitable that he will be suspicious of the melon field and Li Xia, so he also lives in the West Outer Garden, which is quite close to the temporary embroidery workshop, but now it is the third watch, and Eleven Niang did not expect to "meet" with Lu Li at all.

"Why hasn't the sixth brother rested yet?" Naturally, he asked.

He Zhan handed over the contents of the secret letter, and Eleven Niang didn't have time to inform Lu Li.

"In the evening, when I received letters from the elders in Beijing, I was very uneasy, so I couldn't sleep and wandered here." Lu Li didn't expect that it would be this hour, and he would meet King Jin and his wife.

After another exchange between the two parties, they realized that they had heard of the Queen Mother's proposal to set up an official kiln.

Xue Qian has been deposed since he was deposed, and now he is still in Lingnan, Lu Li's grandfather Xue Zizhan is still sick, although his father Xue Xu is in office, he is still not trusted by the Queen Mother's Party, and he belongs to the marginal people, as Jingzhao Shiwang, although there is no shortage of people in the Xue clan who have entered the official position, but still pushes Lu Li's real power to the heaviest, but although Jingzhao Xue has not been really reused by the Queen Mother, he still has a foundation, and his protégés are very wide, but there are so many "fish that have slipped through the net" mixed into the "enemy camp", so even if Lu Li did not know He Zhan's report, he also learned that Xu Xiu could admonish this evil government, Coincidentally, it is also today.

He was also worried, although he didn't expect to visit the embroidery workshop, but because he couldn't sleep, he happened to pass by here while walking.

Therefore, Lu Li inferred: "Does the princess plan to control the official kiln of Taiyuan Mansion?" ”

With such a heart, it once again attracted the eyes of His Royal Highness the King of Jin with deep meaning, and he was in the eyes of the princess and Lu Li.
