Chapter 968 This is a chance

It seems that all of a sudden, everyone understands that if it is beneficial to ordinary people, those craftsmen who make new utensils seem to be able to bring more benefits to the people and improve the situation of the people.

Moreover, it is much easier for ordinary people to send their children to learn crafts than to send them to school.

Just like Guangsha Construction, which has been widely praised by people in recent months.The apprentices they recruited can not only learn crafts, but the master also provides paper and pens to teach the apprentices how to read.

If craftsmen can work in such a place in Guangsha, not only will the master craftsmen be well paid, the apprentices will be able to read and write well, and they will be rewarded if they learn characters and crafts well, and there will be a future to look forward to.

This is much better than spending money on studying. The piles of down-and-out scholars on the street are just trying to save face and wait for death. Where are Yan Ruyu and the golden house waiting for them?Let's talk about it in the next life.

To put it bluntly, no matter whether it is studying or learning a craft, it is just to earn a good life for the family.

Just when these discussions quietly started from all corners and intensified, the records of farmland harvests in Yuanzhou and surrounding states and counties were handed over to the capital.

Although the first rainfall in Wonju was already in July, due to the timely follow-up of the cattle dispatched by the imperial court and various new agricultural tools, the speed of rushing to plant and harvest more than doubled this time.Especially those agricultural tools, their effects are miraculous, and are widely praised and respected by local officials and people.

With this buckwheat harvest in the disaster-stricken areas, and a little subsidy from the imperial court's disaster relief food, tens of thousands of people will have enough to eat.Not only can the people survive, but the pressure on the court is also greatly reduced.

It was already noon when the booklet was delivered, and the four ministers in the cabinet thought it was a good thing, and of course the good news should be sent to the palace as soon as possible to make the emperor happy.

The emperor was reprimanding Jin Rong at this time, pointing his finger on the table "dang dang dang", and said angrily: "It's too shameful! The sage educates the dull people, and we have the prosperity of our heavenly dynasty. Otherwise, the people in the world will still be ignorant people who drink blood." Disciple? You've done too much, it's outrageous!"

When doubts about Jifu and Qingliu arose in Beijing, Li Mian reported it to the emperor.

Li Mian alluded that the reason why this matter could spread so widely and with such strong logic in such a short period of time was because people from Prince Yu's Mansion were manipulating it.

The emperor understood the reason without thinking, and then announced Jin Rong into the palace.

Jin Rong looked disapproving: "Of course there is the merit of reading and enlightenment. If you have the ability, it is not impossible to let all the people in the world read and understand. It's just that such a small number of people are so high, and it is only for To promote these people, to regard the study of a subset of classics and history as the top and most important thing in the world, and to step on all other industries in the world and restrict their development seems a bit excessive."

The emperor's eyebrows jumped, and he did not refute immediately.

What Jin Rong said was also approved by the emperor.Since the track was put into operation and the utensils made in Yuyuan County were used, the emperor really felt the prosperity of the handicraft industry and the great usefulness of the craftsmen.But, Ke Jinrong can't be so impatient and push things like this all at once.

It would be better if the rumors only spread in the capital, at least here is at the foot of the emperor, if something unexpected happens, the imperial power is in hand, and it will be suppressed and controlled soon.

The problem is that this kind of rumor has now spread outward.If this kind of speech spreads to other states and counties, or even to remote places, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, if it arouses the righteous indignation of scholars, and there are people with ulterior motives to fuel the flames, if one is not well controlled, it will be big event.

Although there are not many scholars who can afford to read, if all the scholars in the world gather, the number will be considerable.

The emperor went through various thoughts in his mind for several times, but still insisted on his point of view: "In short, your methods are too impatient and you advance too fast. Since this matter has already had a certain effect, immediately arrange for your people to stop. No excuses and delays!"

"It's such a good opportunity, what a pity."

Jin Rong grumbled, rolled his eyes and curled his lips, before agreeing very reluctantly.The emperor saw it at a glance, and smashed a booklet with his hands.

The emperor reprimanded: "Not only did you disrespect the emperor's order, but you also learned to show me face!" Boy, this is not the first time, right?If this allowed him to get the position of crown prince, his tail must not be raised to the sky!
"Where is it? Father, you read it wrong." Jin Rong stood up quickly with a respectful face, picked up the booklet, and returned it to the emperor.But I couldn't stop the slander in my heart, this is what Ye Zi said about power, the father is simply unreasonable!Where did he go wrong?How well and in place is this thing done?

If it weren't for this opportunity he created, how could the famous scholars who are high on the altar of the altar let people see that they are also human beings, have the same selfish desires, and have the same shady thoughts?
At this time, the four ministers headed by Han Yanhui asked for an interview and presented the papers reported by officials from Yuanzhou and other places.

The emperor waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down.He took the booklet and read it again, and he was in a good mood, and then he read it carefully from beginning to end, and then he was really happy.

The buckwheat harvests in these places were gratifying, but what really played a role in ensuring timely cultivation were the cattle sent by the cattle farms and the new farm tools sent by Yuyuan County.

The emperor solemnly put the booklet on the case, and said with a smile: "This severe drought coincides with the emptiness of the national treasury. Only a few more love ministers and all the courtiers spared no effort to allocate money, food, materials, seeds, and agricultural products in time. Ladies and Gentlemen Ai Qing deserves a lot of credit."

The four princes who had already sat down all stood up, cupped their hands and said in congratulations: "Your Majesty's blessings are equal to the heavens, and this is the right time and place. The servants are only making a small effort, so they are not worthy of your Majesty's approval."

The emperor waved his hands with a smile, let them sit down, and said: "This is really a happy event. Since raising cattle is profitable and can also promote farming, he will send an order to all states and counties. If there are people or merchants who build cattle farms, the local The government can support it."

Han Yanhui and the others responded quickly.

"As for the agricultural tools," the emperor turned to Jin Rong, "the agricultural officials in Yuanzhou said that the agricultural products produced by the machinery workshop have high utility. You can discuss with that girl of the Ye family what kind of conditions she wants to use those agricultural tools. The drawings and production methods are spread to benefit the people all over the world."

Jin Rong was stunned for a moment, the incident in the Ji Mansion had made the world think about scholars, and now there are new tools in Yuanzhou and other places, which are convenient.At this time, shouldn't we take advantage of the situation to advance the process of patent laws and craftsman-level treatment?
But in front of so many people, he was not easy to refute, so he could only perfunctoryly say: "Yes, my son, I will go back to discuss with Jiang and his wife. In fact, father is also worried for nothing. If it is profitable, as long as these utensils are sold Get out a few pieces, and there are many imitators."

Seeing Jin Rong's tone and attitude being so perfunctory, the emperor frowned and said, "What? But it's difficult?"

Jin Rong considered his tone and said, "I think this is the time to discuss the handicraft industry and the role of craftsmen. Other things can be put aside for a while."

As soon as he said this, Liu Chengzhi's complexion immediately turned ugly, although others were fine.
