Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 346, the prince with crooked
"It's easy to see, but it's useless when you do it~"

"Sure enough, it's easier said than done."

Liu Jin stretched his waist and looked at the blueprint in his hand. Although there is a golden finger, it is much easier to open and hang. However, Liu Jin, a later generation, wanted to make this spinning jenny, but Liu Jin still suffered a lot. suffering.

A lot of things seem easy, but it is very difficult to actually do it.

For this new spinning machine, Liu Jin has been busy for more than half a month, and he has already drawn a bunch of drawings. Only then did he reluctantly get out the drawings of the new spinning machine, and he almost figured out the new spinning machine. The spinning machine thing.

"Brother Liu, what are you painting?"

At this time, Wang Shouren came over and looked at Liu Jin's drawings very curiously. Everyone had nothing to do, so they would find something to pass the time.

Wang Shouren has been observing Liu Jin for some time, and this Liu Jin has no interest in the Four Books and Five Classics at all, so he doesn't read books at all, and has been writing and drawing all the time.

"I'm researching a new spinning machine~"

Liu Jin smiled and showed Wang Shouren his blueprint.

"A new spinning machine?"

Wang Shouren looked at Liu Jin's drawings carefully, and said in confusion that he is a person who is good at thinking and loves to learn. He is interested in new things and is very knowledgeable.

"Yes, the spinning and weaving machines we use now are too slow, and a person can only weave a little more than one bolt of cloth a month."

"So I wondered if it would be possible to develop a new type of loom so that a person can weave a few bolts of cloth in one day."

Liu Jin nodded and said with a smile.

"How many bolts of cloth does a person weave in a day?"

Wang Shouren's eyes widened slightly, thinking that Liu Jin's bragging was a bit too much, and bragging doesn't take such bragging.

But he also knew about Liu Jin. He was a son of a high-ranking man, and he always acted unexpectedly. Maybe it was really possible to research such a spinning machine.

"If such a spinning machine can really be developed, then I, Da Ming, will no longer have to worry about people being naked."

Wang Shouren thought about it and praised.

"I've almost finished researching it, and I'll make it in a while, please come over and have a look with Brother Wang."

Liu Jin smiled and said, if Wang Shouren can be fooled into technology, it seems to be better than letting him study psychology.

"Okay, then I'll just wait and see."

Wang Shouren nodded solemnly. In fact, he didn't understand why Liu Jin, the number one scholar, was so keen on such heretics. For noble scholars like them, shouldn't they study the words of sages and history books every day? , so as to better assist the king?
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao walked in with his little follower Liu Jin. As soon as he arrived at the door, Zhu Houzhao yelled out in a loud voice.

"Old Liu, old Liu~"

"Your Majesty the Crown Prince welcomes you~"

Seeing Zhu Houzhao coming to the Imperial Academy, the entire Imperial Academy was alarmed, and everyone greeted him respectfully.

"No, no, everyone is busy, I'm here to look for Liu Jin."

Zhu Houzhao had always disliked these red tapes, so he dismissed the others with a wave of his hand and went directly to Liu Jin.

"I have seen His Royal Highness~"

In the officialdom, you should pay attention to what you should pay attention to. You can't let people impeach you for not understanding the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, so Liu Jin also saluted Zhu Houzhao very respectfully.

"Free ~ free."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and sat down on Liu Jin's desk carelessly. His small eyes saw the blueprints on the desk at once, and he immediately regained his energy.

"Old Liu, what are you studying?"

"This looks a little weird, what is it?"

"Return to Your Highness, this is a new type of spinning machine I researched, which can greatly speed up the efficiency of spinning and weaving."

Liu Jin replied respectfully, and then gave Zhu Houzhao a look that you understand, and Zhu Houzhao immediately laughed happily.

"Yes, yes, I thought you were doing nothing in the Hanlin Academy, but I didn't expect you to do something."

Zhu Houzhao's words also surprised Wang Shouren, Lun Wenxu, Liu Long, Fengxi and others on the side. In their view, Liu Jin was not doing business properly, but when he came to Prince Zhu Houzhao, he was doing business. It is not doing business properly when he feels that he studies history books by himself. .

"Go, go, accompany me to the Qianqing Palace."

Zhu Houzhao looked at the Hanlin Academy, and there were too many people, so he said it after thinking about it.

"Yes~"

Liu Jin quickly nodded in agreement, then looked at Wang Shouren beside him and said, "Your Highness, I wonder if I can take Wang Shouren with me?"

"Then let's go together~"

Zhu Houzhao said indifferently, he didn't have much feeling for this Wang Shouren yet.

In history, Wang Shouren felt that his talent was underappreciated. He was very talented, but he failed to achieve a high position, so Liu Jin also wanted to help him, let him hang out with Zhu Houzhao earlier, and make him familiar.

As for Zhu Houzhao, as long as you get to know him well and have a good relationship, everything will be easier to talk to.

"Yes~"

When Wang Shouren heard this, he quickly said yes, there are not many opportunities to follow His Highness the Crown Prince. Emperor Hongzhi is only his son, and he is afraid that he will have no future with Zhu Houzhao?
Although Wang Shouren is a more open-minded person, it doesn't matter if he can be promoted or not. What he likes is studying philosophy, and he wants to find out the truth from it. Getting promoted and making a fortune is not his ambition.

But it is also good to have more contact with Zhu Houzhao. If he can be promoted in the future, he can also have greater influence, and then he can also express his ambitions.

You must know that this is a great man who wrote letters to the emperor many times at the age of fifteen, and he talked about how to calm down the northern grasslands. At the age of fifteen, most people were still ignorant.

As for Lun Wenxu, Liu Long, Fengxi and other members of the Imperial Academy, they could only look at Liu Jin and Wang Shouren with envious eyes. How could such a good thing not happen to them.

Soon, under the leadership of Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin and Wang Shouren left Hanlin and came to Qianqing Palace.

The Qianqing Palace was burned last winter due to flooding, so it is now under construction and reconstruction. Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin are also responsible for the construction and reconstruction.

According to the design drawings provided by Liu Jin, the new Qianqing Palace was built with reinforced concrete. After several months of construction, the main building has almost been completed at this time.

The entire Qianqing Palace is a large construction site at this time. Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao hired thousands of people to construct here at the same time, which is similar to the construction in later generations. Scaffolding was built, and the building was built layer by layer. Today, new dry structures can be seen. The style of the Qing Palace.

The appearance is a jade seal, and it is naturally appropriate to use the jade seal to symbolize the nobility and power of the emperor.

The new Yuxi Qianqing Palace is nearly [-] feet high, but there are not many floors. Each floor is very high, very majestic, but now it is just some concrete and steel bars, which is not ugly. I can't see anything at all.

The construction of Qianqing Palace was very fast, because Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao poured real money into it, and the wages of all the workers were quite high, not to mention building the palace for the emperor, so everyone was very motivated to work.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is very convenient and fast to build a house with reinforced concrete. If it weren't for the fact that this house was for the emperor, there were many requirements and complicated designs, and a few months would be enough to build it. All right.

"Old Liu, when will your new spinning machine come out? If you don't get some new business, I will be poor and beg for food."

"Also, you and I have bought so many lands, shouldn't there be some movement? If this continues, I will buy up all the land around the capital."

Looking at the huge palace in front of him, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help complaining to Liu Jin. It was very expensive to build this Qianqing Palace, even if he is so rich that he has no more rice now.

Of course, this is mainly because he keeps spending money to buy land. The land price here in the capital has already increased him several times, but as long as he has money, Zhu Houzhao will immediately go to buy land, because he believes Liu Jin's words and put the money in the warehouse. It's just a lump inside, it's useless, investing it out is the right way.

"That spinning machine is coming soon. As for the real estate business here in the capital, we still have to wait until the Qianqing Palace is completed. Once this demonstration is completed, we will launch a similar house at that time, and it will definitely sell well."

Liu Jin thought for a while and replied.

"Wait until the Qianqing Palace is built?"

"The day lily is cold, and we can start planning and building now. When this place is built, our house will be built, and we can start selling it directly. This way, the money will come in quickly, will you know?" Are you doing business?"

Zhu Houzhao heard this, rolled his small eyes, thought for a while and said.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that."

When Liu Jin heard this, he slammed and said, and then looked at Zhu Houzhao, this kid is very talented in business. Sure enough, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. Once you let yourself go, you will definitely not be worse than the people of later generations. go.

Wang Shouren on the side listened to Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin discussing how to make money, and suddenly felt that all three views were ruined. One is the current emperor, the other is the champion of the current discipline. How to make money is full of the atmosphere of a businessman.

This is seriously inconsistent with their identities.

Shouldn't the prince be quietly learning how to govern the country from his teacher every day in the East Palace?

Shouldn't the noble Imperial Academy read books and drink tea in the Imperial Academy leisurely and leisurely?

But the two people in front of them, with their mouths full of money, are talking about how to make money. , I couldn't bear it anymore.
