Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

More than an hour later, Wang Qi looked at Zhang Yan sleeping in his arms, silently lost in thought.

It has to be said that the royal family had its own set of rules when selecting concubines. Looking at the face of Queen Mother Zhang, even in future generations, she would be an extremely beautiful woman.

Zhang Yan, with her white lotus-rooted arms exposed and blushing cheeks, seemed to feel a hint of coolness in her sleep. She murmured softly, curled up in Wang Qi's arms like a kitten, and poked her head deeper.

Somewhere, there is mud like a trail after the spring rain, and the fragrance is also intoxicating.

Reaching out to wipe away the tears on his face, Wang Qi realized that his actions may have been too rough, making the beauty in his arms unable to bear it for a while.

It is still dark outside the window, and the sun will not rise until about two hours later, but Wang Qi does not want to spend the night here. If he wants to make this matter justifiable, it will take a long time and a lot of things to do - Wang Qi has never been Those who are impatient are not the ones who just put up their trousers and then ignore others. There are some things that you should take your time!

After gently placing the beauty in his arms and tucking away the cup, Wang Qi stood up and put on his clothes.

Not long after, there was a creak, and Wang Qi opened the door and walked into the side hall.

The Queen Mother's personal nanny was waiting here.

"I would like to pay my respects to the ruling lord!" Grandma Chen bowed to Wang Qi.

"Take good care of Yan'er," Wang Qi's eyes fell on Nanny Chen: "Thank you for your hard work."

"This is what I should do. After serving the Queen Mother for twenty years, I naturally understand what the Queen Mother is thinking." Aunt Chen did not show any special respect to Wang Qi, but in her eyes, the Queen Mother's liking was more important than anything else.

Wang Qi nodded before walking away.

Outside the parliament hall, Donghua Gate.

His car is still waiting at the same place.

Wang Qi bent down and entered the sedan. After the curtain was lowered, the sedan rose steadily and headed towards the mansion.

"Sir," the guard's voice came in a low voice: "Someone has just come to the house. It was the mistress who sent someone to ask, do you want to go home for dinner?"

"Well, what did you reply?" Wang Qi closed his eyes and sat on the couch.

"My subordinate replied, Sir, you went to the inner palace to wish the Queen Mother a happy birthday, and then the man left without saying anything." The attendant's words were respectful and honest.

Wang Qi slowly opened his eyes, feeling speechless.

Since Wang Shouxin was assigned by Wang Qi to take charge of the nine gates of the capital to control the capital's military equipment, the number of attendants and commanders around Wang Qi has not been fixed. Most of the time they are old people from Liaodong. These people are easy to use, but Sometimes there really aren't too many twists and turns.

The mistress sent someone to ask questions, can she tell the truth?
"Sir?" The guard was a little worried, fearing that he had done something wrong.

"It's okay," Wang Qi shook his head: "You did a good job."

Also, why is there such a thing?

Sure enough, when Wang Qi returned to the house late at night, the head of the house, Hai Lanzhu, had been waiting in the hall for a long time.

"Madam, why aren't you asleep yet? Are the children still well-behaved?" Wang Qi felt a little guilty. He took the sobering tea and pastries from the maid, placed them on the table beside him, and sat down next to his wife.

"Drink the sobering tea first. I asked the kitchen to leave a bowl of noodle soup for you." Hai Lanzhu's originally angry expression disappeared when she saw Wang Qi's guilty look. Feeling distressed.

After all, which man in charge of the world would care so much about his wife's joys and sorrows? "My wife still loves people," Wang Qi picked up the hot tea and took a sip, feeling warm and comfortable.

"Sleep at my place tonight," Hai Lanzhu glanced at Wang Qi, and then stood up slowly. Before leaving, she said softly: "Luluo and Huiyan are both menstrual, and it is not convenient to serve you. "

Place the tea bowl gently back on the table.

Wang Qi felt that he was going to be really tired tonight.

After all, a jealous woman will not let a man go until she has vented her sorrow.

----

Wang Qi accepted the invitation of the Science Society today and went to Tongzhou Research Institute to view the latest textile machines.

In five months, since the flying shuttle began to be widely used in the north and south of the Yangtze River, more advanced and more efficient water-powered textile machines have been developed.

The giant textile machines built by the river rely on water power to generate a driving force that is more efficient and stable than human power, greatly improving textile efficiency and output.

Although Wang Qi does not understand how to speed up specific technologies, he knows that as long as the demand is strong enough, people's desire for wealth will promote the development of technology.

Similarly, as long as the government provides reasonable guidance and firmly controls the direction of the rudder, the development of technology will advance by leaps and bounds, completely beyond people's imagination.

The Han family's hands-on ability, technological improvement ability and innovation ability are not inferior to any country in the world.

What they lack is just driving force.

So, what Wang Qi can do is to use the authority of the government to completely mobilize this driving force.

Looking at the spinning machine that was constantly rotating under the power of water flow, Wang Qi finally showed a smile on his face: "Well done!"

Chang Zhengshou, Director of the Textile Department of the Society standing aside, said respectfully: "Sir, in addition to this water-powered spinning machine, the Society is also studying another worsted spinning machine, because the yarn spun by the water-powered spinning machine is thick and rough in texture. The yarn produced by the flying shuttle machine is fine but has poor fastness. A precision imitation machine that combines the advantages of both will be able to completely break away from manual work and manpower, but it will be more refined!”

"It sounds like a mule, a combination of a horse and a donkey," Wang Qi chuckled and chatted casually.

"Mule machine?" Chang Zhengshou was stunned when he heard this, and then said happily: "Thank you, Lord Governor, for the name. This thing is called a mule machine!"

"It doesn't matter what it's called. If it can greatly improve industrial efficiency, it's a good thing." Wang Qi didn't care about the praise of his subordinates. This kind of thing happened every day. All he cared about was industrial development!

Not long after, accompanied by Xu Guangqi, Wang Qi got on the rail train from Tongzhou to Beijing.

"Master in power, I heard that textile workers in She County, Anhui Province, had a small-scale riot last month, burning down factories and beating factory owners to death. The reason is that those factory owners exploited manpower and were in arrears with three months' wages. ." Xu Guangqi sat opposite Wang Qi, his old face full of worry: "There are many workers now who have been transformed from landless farmers. They came from the village to the county. Life was not easy originally, and things like this happened again. , I feel that we must take precautions and take precautions!”

"Burn down the factory and beat people to death." Wang Qi put down the documents in his hands and looked up at Xu Guangqi: "How to convict people in accordance with the law is a matter for the Ministry of Justice. As for how to prevent such things from happening, it is a matter for the parliament and the society to work together. Make a bill.”

"What should we do if we exploit workers and delay wages?" Xu Guangqi seemed to listen to Wang Qi's words.

“Everything must be based on the bill,” Wang Qi’s tone left no room for doubt: “I’ll say it again, the parliament cannot directly intervene in this matter, but must be handled by local governments through the formulation of bills.”

"After I go back, I will organize legislation to discuss!" Xu Guangqi shook his head: "This kind of thing can't happen again!"

"At the beginning, there will definitely be various problems, but we are heading in the right direction," Wang Qi looked at the receding scenery outside the window: "The bill can be introduced in the form of a draft first. As long as it is reasonable, I will sign it! "(End of chapter)
