Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu only arranged to see this one today. He stood outside, looked at the kiln, and said, "Do you keep secrets or delve into the kiln-making technology to go further?"

Zhou Huaiyi hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, these are all family skills and will never be passed on."

Zhu Xu shook his head secretly, this is the easiest way to get lost.

Zhu Xu turned his head to look at Yuan Zhijing, and said: "The Jingdezhen government must establish a strict secrecy system to ensure that these technologies can be preserved and developed instead of being tried on or stolen by someone with a heart. Although there are special institutions in the Political Yuan , but you Jingdezhen can’t slack off, you have to respond according to local conditions and strive to develop, instead of sitting on the mountain and eating your ancestors without considering your children and grandchildren, that’s a prodigal son..."

Yuan Zhijing looked serious when he heard this, and said: "Don't worry, your majesty, Jingdezhen is already making arrangements. We are going to set up a private porcelain association, which is specially used to help each other, study porcelain technology, inform and expand the popularity of the country, and strive to sell more porcelain. A lot of porcelain makes the kiln household rich, but it will be ruined before washing..."

Zhu Xu glanced at Yuan Zhijing with a little surprise, and said, "These are all the methods you thought of?"

Yuan Zhijing raised his hand and said, "I am dissatisfied with the emperor. I saw these in the Chaobao. The Chaobao has a business section, and many issues are discussed in depth. For example, many industries in my Ming Dynasty are scattered and fragile, and cannot form an advantage. I suggest that we integrate them." , to give full play to each other's advantages, to become bigger and stronger, especially in maritime trade, to take the lead and not to lag behind. This is a big world, and whoever is one step behind is doomed to perish..."

These words, in the eyes of most people, are alarmist and sneering. The newspaper has promoted the "New World" in recent years, and it has attracted many criticisms.

Zhu Xu glanced at Yuan Zhijing approvingly, then turned to Cao Huachun and asked, "Written by Gu Yanwu?"

Cao Huachun said: "Gu Yanwu is the chief writer of the business section of Chaobao."

Zhu Xu nodded with a smile, with a satisfied expression, and said, "Give the cabinet a chance to let Gu Yanwu go to the Taxation Bureau first, Ren Shaoqing."

Yuan Zhijing's eyes lit up, Shaoqing, Gu Yanwu, who has been unknown since the fourth grade, has reached the sky in one step!

On the other side, Zhang Rongzhen had a troubled expression on his face, and kept looking at Zhang Yun quietly.

Chapter 1283 Everything is ready

Zhang Yun turned a blind eye to Zhang Rongju's gaze. This uncle didn't know how to restrain himself at all, as if he didn't know that everyone in the world could see his ambition.

Yuan Zhijing was different. He accompanied Zhu Xu cautiously and walked slowly around the kiln.

He was from the previous three years, so he was not considered a "student of the Son of Heaven". In addition to the cold reception from the traditional official circles, he valued this opportunity very much and hoped to impress Zhu Xu deeply.

Especially seeing that Gu Yanwu was promoted to Shaoqing from the fourth rank within Zhu Xu's words, it made his heart boil.

"It's not enough. The power of the people must be fully utilized, but the responsibility of the government cannot be shirked..."

Zhu Xu walked in front with one hand on his back, followed by a group of people behind him. He said in a moderate voice, "The government must give full play to its advantages, be proactive, not be superfluous, and find ways to solve difficulties for kiln owners and improve the level of craftsmanship. Increase sales. Porcelain is an inheritance of my Ming Dynasty, which has profound cultural heritage. It is not just a business, but it must be done with heart. Of course, not only porcelain, silk, tea, etc., must be integrated to make it bigger Strong, this is also a strong symbol of our prosperous Ming Dynasty... Not only the present, but also the past and future of these industries must be recorded in detail, written into a book, and what was exchanged for the blood and tears of our ancestors cannot be wasted in our hands... "

Yuan Zhijing listened carefully, holding a notebook and a charcoal pen at some point in his hand, and took notes there with a serious expression.

When Zhu Xu finished speaking, he raised his head and said solemnly: "Don't worry, the emperor, I've made a note of it. After going back, I immediately think about it and summarize it. When I have a detailed and safe idea, I will immediately present it to the emperor..."

Of course, Zhu Xu didn't say these words to Yuan Zhijing, Zhang Rongju and others. This was also a signal he sent to the cabinet and all officials of Ming Dynasty.

If Ming wants to be at the forefront of the world, then the industrial revolution must happen first in Ming, and Ming must be the first country to complete industrialization!

Although it is still early and Da Ming's situation is not suitable, he still needs to lay the groundwork early and make full preparations.

After hearing Zhu Xu's words, Zhang Rongyu immediately answered, "I understand that I will convey the emperor's words to the cabinet of the general chamber of commerce, strictly implement them, and complete the emperor's orders..."

Zhu Xu walked forward with a smile. He would stay in Jingdezhen for a few months, and he would have enough time to instill his thoughts and ideas. This time he was in Jingdezhen, which would definitely greatly enhance Jingdezhen's status.

Zhu Xu looked around for a while, and said, "Let's go, let's meet those who burn porcelain!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please go this way, I have made arrangements." Yuan Zhijing followed Zhu Xu, raised his hand, and said enthusiastically.

The longer Zhu Xu stayed here, the more he valued it. Yuan Zhijing knew very well that now the whole Ming Dynasty was looking at Jingdezhen, which was tantamount to looking at him!

Zhu Xu came to the largest restaurant in Jingdezhen, where dozens of potters were already waiting.

Zhu Xu and Zhang Yun, the emperor and empress of the Ming Dynasty, came together. For them, it was like seeing a god.

According to Yuan Zhijing's plan, this is Zhu Xu's speech, a kindness to the potters in Jingdezhen.

But Zhu Xu didn't like this way, so after a bit of teasing, it abruptly turned into a tea party.

In the face of these old craftsmen, Zhu Xu drank tea and chatted with them about homework, craftsmanship, and development. There was no superior guidance, but it was like a homely neighbor.

A group of porcelain burners were frightened and accompanied anxiously.

Yuan Zhijing and Zhang Rongju, with different expressions, sat on both sides.

In the end, Empress Zhang Yun even used her own money to order a piece of porcelain from every house present, at the highest price!

At this time, no one had reacted, and it was in a state of confusion from the beginning to the end, the beginning of the confusion, the end of the confusion, sending Zhu Xu and others away.

When later generations studied the history of porcelain, today was designated as the beginning of the "First Year of Porcelain", because from this day onwards, the development of porcelain ushered in a huge leap. After today, there are various books about the development of porcelain technology , Excellent porcelain burners emerge in endlessly, springing up like mushrooms after rain.Most importantly, this laid a solid foundation for Daming porcelain to sell well all over the world and become the top luxury item!

Of course, Zhu Xu wanted to make Daming's business card more than porcelain. Now that the whole world is ignorantly marching towards the new century, he wants to be the first!

By the time the trip was over, it was almost dark.

Zhu Xu received three little guys, each of them was ashen-faced, with dust all over his face and body. Seeing Zhu Xu coming in, they all raised their little faces, showing their neat little white teeth.

Zhu Xu looked around at the things made by the three little guys, and when he asked Ming to pick up the time, he hurried away with the three little guys.

"These will be your dark history..." In the carriage, Zhu Xu looked at the three little guys and laughed.

The three little guys didn't seem to understand the meaning of Zhu Xu's words, they got together and were still discussing the experience and lessons of firing porcelain just now, obviously not over excited.

Outside the carriage, Yuan Zhijing was also very excited today. Although he had seen Zhu Xu before and watched from a distance, but today he accompanied him around for a while, which gave him a different understanding of Zhu Xu, and he kept vigilant in his heart. : "Rumors are not credible, rumors are harmful, you need to be upright, and don't be confused by the outside world..."

Zhang Rongju has a different mentality. He has been treated coldly all the way, and even the empress did not say a few words to him, which makes him very ugly as a "half-father".

He was deposed at the beginning, and the official charge was "corruption and extortion of bribes, illegal behavior". Everyone knew that the charge was "forming a party for personal gain and plotting evil".

Zhang Rongju did not regret doing so. According to his thinking, even if the emperor found out, Zhang Rongju was for the sake of the future prince and for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. Why would the emperor have any reason to deal with him?

But it happened to be dealt with, and he was so merciless that he cut his title!

"What the hell did I do wrong!"

Zhang Rongju was resentful from the bottom of his heart, looking at Zhu Xu's carriage, his chest was full of anger.

Forget about the emperor, what happened to his niece, the empress?He did everything for her son, yet he was so cold and ruthless that he abandoned him!

Back in Xingyuan, Zhang Yun hurriedly took the three little ones to take a bath. Zhu Xu sat on the soft bed in the study in the front yard, and he was also relieved.

Thinking back on what happened today, Zhu Xu held his teacup and kept thinking.

The development of porcelain, silk, etc. will eventually lead to the industrial age, but porcelain, silk, etc. can only be regarded as light industries, and if they want to develop, they need heavy industries.

Among them, iron smelting is the most important symbol!

"We have to connect the whole world as soon as possible..."

Zhu Xu murmured with flickering eyes. At this time, he is not only concerned about the huge profits of arms, but also promotes the development of the steel industry and promotes the rapid progress of related technologies.
