[Comprehensive Wear] It's hard to be a princess

For the ministers in the court, the so-called people are actually scholars, even if it is not like the Song Dynasty, the scholar-bureaucrats can clearly tell the emperor that you are not sharing the world with the people, but sharing the world with the scholar-bureaucrats!But for readers, it's still the same.What's more, the imperial power is already strong enough, if they have more money, wouldn't it be more difficult to restrain?Therefore, whether it was for selfishness or self-righteous publicity, a group of ministers made various claims in the court and asked the royal family to share the technology.

Tu Jingchen was noncommittal in the court, and went to Xingqing Palace after the court.

"These people are like this. What they say is righteousness, what they think is their own interests!" Emperor Qianyuan lay comfortably on the easy chair. After recuperating for such a long time, he recovered very well. His arms are still a little out of control, and his walking is not as agile as before, but after a rough look, he can't tell that his mouth is crooked and his eyes are slanted.Because the action is not very smooth now, and no imperial doctor dares to advise him to actively recover, so he spends most of his time recuperating in the Xingqing Palace, together with Concubine Zhen and Concubine Ying who were still favored before the stroke. There is Qin Taifei, who has already given birth to a first-class imperial concubine, and these few have joined forces to occupy Emperor Qianyuan's harem for many years, especially later, Emperor Qianyuan began to become ascetic, and concubines in the harem were no longer useful to him. To satisfy physiological needs, what is more needed is an object of empathy.Those concubines who were younger than them were not easy enough around Emperor Qianyuan, and Emperor Qianyuan disliked them for being too timid and jerky, so in the end, these few people were still able to please him around Emperor Qianyuan.However, since Emperor Qianyuan suffered a severe stroke, he became more and more indifferent to female sex, or in other words, he was unwilling to show a weak and weak appearance on the woman who was attached to him, which would make him feel offended.

The most enjoyable time for Emperor Qianyuan now is when Tu Jingchen came to ask him about the court situation, which made him feel that he was still majestic.When Tu Jingchen was the prince, Emperor Qianyuan would not tell him many things, and let Tu Jingchen think for himself, but now, Emperor Qianyuan has acquiesced that Tu Jingchen is equal to him , the speech is much more casual.At this moment, Emperor Qianyuan simply exposed the plans of those courtiers, "You have never been to Jiangnan, and you don't know much about the officials in Jiangnan. I have been to Jiangnan several times, but I know something. Some people may not be in business, but they are inextricably linked with those cloth merchants and salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River! The salt merchants can't make it today, but the weaving industry in the south of the Yangtze River has always been very prosperous, even the weaving in the south of the Yangtze River In addition to brocade and other tribute satin, the rest are provided by the following imperial merchants. Those imperial merchants actually don’t get much benefit from the tributes. After all, how much tribute do they need every year? Their real source of income is other things. Those silk brocades. Now that the royal family has a new type of loom, if others work hard to weave one, you can weave three or more. Therefore, even if the royal family discounts it in half, they still have a surplus, but they can’t afford it. They Since we can’t get new textile machines, we must let those officials contribute!”

Tu Jingchen actually knew something, but he was not as thorough as Emperor Qianyuan. Now he pretended to be enlightened, and sighed, "Father is very discerning, otherwise I really think they are concerned about the country and the people!"

Emperor Qianyuan was very pleased with Tu Jingchen's compliment, and then said, "So, although this matter can be let go, it can't make it so easy for them to succeed. With such a start, it will increase their appetite!"

Tu Jingchen thought in his heart, if you hadn't been there, father, I would be like you back then, starting to clean up the court step by step. , and sincerely complimented Emperor Qianyuan, and then had a meal with Emperor Qianyuan before leaving.

Of course, Tu Jingchen was not so easy to let go, and Feng Yu instructed Liu Fu to come up with an idea for Tu Jingchen, which is to authorize fees, so that those businessmen who are interested in this will come to Beijing to purchase technology authorization for new textile machines, and get the authorization After that, you can get the drawings and samples and go back to manufacture by yourself.There is no so-called patent barrier these days, so this is a one-shot deal.In addition, in order to prevent these merchants from collecting money to buy them, or selling them to others after buying them, Tu Jingchen also set a rule, that is, an authorization is directly for the use of one family. If anyone spreads it privately, then the imperial merchant It is necessary to lose the qualifications of the imperial merchants. Ordinary merchants will be taxed heavily in the future. In addition, whether they are sold or bought, they will also be fined a huge amount.The imperial court does not have the manpower and energy to keep an eye on these businessmen, so it encourages reporting. As long as it is found to be true in the end, the whistleblower can get [-]% of the fine!Caibo understands people's hearts, the court said it was a huge fine, and [-]% of this is naturally a figure that makes people jealous. As soon as the news comes out, I am afraid that someone will immediately stare at those merchants, so as to catch them.Of course, neither did Tu Jingchen.

Through this fee authorization, Tu Jingchen immediately pocketed several million taels of silver. The treasury did not touch a penny of this money, and all of it went into his internal funds.Of course, Tu Jingchen didn't treat Feng Yu and Liu Fei badly, as soon as he got the money, he generously rewarded a Huangzhuang, as well as various rare treasures. Silver.Many people looked jealous, but they all knew that the new type of textile machine was originally produced by a husband and wife, and it was only natural that they were rewarded.

Feng Yu took out the new type of textile machine in order to give women a choice. For ordinary people, traditional textile machines are nothing more than self-sufficiency, because the efficiency is too low, like the textile machines in ordinary people's homes. , and can only weave some homemade cloth, which is rough and not wear-resistant, and the quality is very average, so it is for home use, and if you sell it, you will definitely not be able to sell it at a high price.As for the cloth merchants' workshops, the textile machines used in them are stronger, but the quality is the strength, and the efficiency is not much higher.Therefore, the price of Daqi's silk has remained high outside, and this is the reason why the supply is still in short supply. Even though there are many silk weaving workshops in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not easy to increase the efficiency here.What's more, the quantity of raw silk is also a problem. These days, because of the introduction of sweet potatoes and potatoes, many landlords in the south of the Yangtze River have converted a considerable part of their land into mulberry, which has increased the quantity of raw silk. If you put it more than 100 years ago, you Even if those farmers are forced to death, they will not be able to raise silkworms and reel silk for you on an empty stomach!

Like now, the new textile machines have not flowed into the folk, but the demand for raw silk has already risen. Sericulture has always been a job for women in the folk. However, most people used to do it as a sideline business. Now they see raw silk. The price of silkworms still rose, and the folks naturally reacted quickly and began to raise silkworms on a large scale.As long as these low-level women earn enough income by raising silkworms and selling cocoons and raw silk, their family status will naturally rise. After all, they all count on the women at home to raise silkworms.In this way, at least quite a few families, when they have no money, will not consider selling their daughters, and will even find ways to keep their daughters for a few more years.And when the new type of textile machines flow into the people, let alone, can the profits of industrial products compare with unprocessed or only roughly processed agricultural products?Although these improve the social and family status of folk women, for women from official families, this also gives them another possibility. Among other things, at least when their families are in trouble, they can have other ways can go.

For Feng Yu, these are just the beginning, many things can't be rushed, just wait for the results to ferment slowly.Besides, there are still several years before the plot really begins!

Jia Baoyu, who is the leading actor, is still a child now, but Shi Shi is ready to pave the way for him.After all, Jia Zhu is just a boy now, and among the people Shi knows, Lin Hai is the civil official who has been promoted the fastest, but he also spent many years outside before he has achieved what he is today. Moreover, such success is almost irreproducible , where can there be such achievements as Lin Hai in presiding over the reform of the salt administration? How many people in the past dynasties have carried out reforms and reforms, and they can have a good end!Of course, Shi Shi didn't think so much, she just found out that compared with nobles, there is a guaranteed title at the beginning, ten years of cold window, the imperial examination is too slow to become an official, Jia Zhu talked about talent, and the conditions for studying, yes It's far inferior to Lin Hai's, so Shi Shi really doesn't expect Jia Zhu to really stand out in his lifetime.For a short-sighted woman like Shi, the easiest way to get her children to a higher status faster is to engage in nepotism. The Zhen family is an example.

The Shi family had found a nanny from the palace many years ago to serve as Yuan Chun's nurturing nanny. After Tu Jingchen ascended the throne, except for the concubine Zhang, who was canonized as a queen, the other concubines who were officially canonized were less than one hand. number.Therefore, some people said before that they would hold an audition to enrich the harem, but it was only a year after the last audition by Tu Jingchen, and he shirked it on the grounds that he did not need to disturb the people so frequently.However, the next draft is less than two years away, and Yuan Chun is just at the right age.

Yuan Chun himself is full of longing for entering the palace because of the ideas that Shi and Wang have instilled behind his back for many years.Tu Jingchen is in his prime, and he is not a bad old man. Naturally, Yuan Chun will not have any psychological barriers, on the contrary, he looks forward to it.After all, based on the experience of his own mother Wang's over the years, Yuan Chun realized that marrying an ordinary family with the right family needs to face a lot of bad things, and it's not sure when he will be able to get married.But after entering the palace, it’s different. In the harem of the Holy Majesty, apart from the queen’s background, the others are at most the daughter of a humble official. She is the granddaughter of the former Duke Rong, and the current Duke Rong. The niece of her daughter enters the palace for a draft, so no matter what happens at the beginning, she can get a concubine.This is already equivalent to the order of the second rank!

Shi Shi and the others never thought that Yuan Chun might not be selected. They felt that Yuan Chun's appearance and background, as long as he participated in the election, he would definitely be selected. It was nothing more than a question of status. , Shi began to think about how to make Yuanchun famous. ,,
