Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

If even women can work, then these grown men will certainly have jobs as well.

They couldn't help but cheer and expressed their gratitude again and again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! Long live the emperor!"

The woman who was arguing just now was crying with joy!

But she saw the emperor suddenly walking towards her, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"Are you Lu'er's mother?" Zhu Youxiao asked kindly.

"Your Majesty, my daughter's name is Lu'er."

"mother!"

At this time, Lu'er, who was brought over by Liu Yue, threw himself into Lu Zhou's arms.

"Lu'er, kneel down quickly and pay homage to the Emperor!"

Lu Zhou pulled her daughter and was about to kneel down again, but Zhu Youxiao quickly held the child.

"It doesn't matter!"

Lu'er was surprised: "Ah! Big brother is the emperor that mother always talked about!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled and touched her head without answering. He just looked at Lu Zhou and asked.

"I have already issued an order that single parents with many young children like you will be given additional food allowance every day."

"The children are well fed, so are you still going to continue to work in the water conservancy dredging?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou was so excited that she knelt down again.

"I bow my head a hundred times, thank you Your Majesty for your consideration for the poor people like us!"

Then she said firmly: "However, I still want to participate in the water conservancy dredging work. Please allow me, Your Majesty!"

When these words were spoken, Liu Yue, Wu Chunfu and others were greatly surprised.

His Majesty has said that there is a subsidy for her family, so why does she still have to do the dirty and tiring work with a group of men?

Chapter 378 Master, you are obsessed!

After hearing Lu Zhou's words, Zhu Youxiao was not as surprised as others.

But she was very satisfied with her decision.

He hoped to promote it starting from Datong, and gradually let the people accept the awareness that women can also participate in many social work.

The original intention of opening a medical school for palace ladies to study medicine was not only to train more military doctors for the army, but also to do this.

If we want to develop the Ming Dynasty into an unprecedented prosperous one in the future, we must fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the people and let everyone participate in social production, regardless of gender!

Looking at the determined Lu Zhou in front of him, Zhu Youxiao had more expectations for the future of the Ming Dynasty.

"Okay, I'm sure!"

He didn't ask any other questions, but turned to Zhang Chengan, who was already upset.

"Zhang Chengan, assign her to the water conservancy dredging work group!"

"I obey your order!"

Zhang Chengan picked up the pen on Li Ruozhi's desk and directly added the words "Lu Zhou's" on the new water conservancy dredging group.

Seeing this, Lu Zhou was so excited that she knelt down to express her gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live the emperor!"

"Don't be happy too soon. If you fail to meet the standards at work and drag others down, and you are laid off, don't blame others." Zhu Youxiao deliberately warned.

"I will never let your majesty down!"

Having accomplished another task on his mind, Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood. He took everyone on another inspection and did not return to the Prince of Dai's Palace until late in the evening.

In the evening, a rare cool breeze blew.

Outside Datong City, the Liuyi Mud Improvement Site was bustling with activity.

Nearly a month has passed since Dao Ji took charge of the construction of the kiln and invited Taoists from all over the world to participate.

After receiving his invitation, fellow disciples from various sects near Shanxi rushed to help and gathered here within five days.

Everyone knows that, to put it nicely, they are here to join in the fun, but in reality they are here to generate income for their own Taoist temples.

The main reason is that Taoism is really too small and poor nowadays. If there are less than three patches on the Taoist robe, it is considered to be well-off among fellow Taoists.

The Taoist temples that came to support include Ruicheng Yongle Palace, Changzhi Yuhuang Temple, Lishi Tianzhen Temple, Yuncheng Changchun Temple, etc.

The number of people sent by each Taoist temple varied, ranging from five or six to more than thirty.

Among them was Taoist Xuanxu from Yongle Palace, who brought the largest number of people, an astonishing thirty-eight.

Dao Ji felt that he might have brought all the disciples who were able to walk in Yongle Palace, and he had the illusion that he was being taken advantage of by a wealthy man.

However, he still treated everyone equally, no matter how many people came, and gave them the same treatment as Chunyang Palace, including food and accommodation, and fifty taels for each Taoist temple.

Regarding this price, all Taoist sects have only one attitude, which is to accept it with pleasure.

Simplifying Liuyi mud is a very complicated task, as you have to find the most suitable one from countless different recipes.

In order to speed up the progress and avoid mutual influence between different formulas, the initial dozen kilns have now become more than 300!

The entire construction site is filled with chimneys, and it is truly spectacular when viewed from a distance!

Each Taoist temple is responsible for different kilns according to its number, which greatly speeds up the testing of the new formula.

After the kiln was built and the materials and personnel were fully assembled, it has been fifteen days since the start of the experiment.

I have tried thousands of new recipes, but still cannot find one that satisfies me.

At this time, Dao Ji, as usual, patrolled the construction site back and forth, checking the condition of the newly produced Liuyi clay products from each kiln.

This was the first time he had undertaken such a large project and was in charge of so much money, but there had been no progress so far, and he was anxious.

boom! boom! boom!

From time to time, one could hear the sound of newly-made clay being smashed.

As he walked along, he felt a little distracted.

"Master, yesterday someone from the East Factory came to ask about Liu Yi Ni's situation again. What should we do?"

My beloved disciple Juemingxiao got a bowl of fried beans from somewhere.

While following him to inspect the stove, she ate beans happily and said a word or two from time to time.

Dao Ji couldn't help feeling annoyed when he heard the crisp sound of the beans entering his mouth. This kid was talking about something that was not related to the topic.

I couldn't help but glare at him.

"Eat, eat, eat! All you do all day long is eat!"

Hearing this, Jueming said a little aggrievedly: "Master, you are obsessed!"

"The Taoist scriptures say: The mind is quiet and peaceful, and quietness can lead to concentration, and concentration can lead to wisdom. Master, you are so impatient that you can't do anything well..."

"Go away, it's nothing! Just meditate on your own!"

Dao Ji was about to chase his disciple away when he suddenly heard someone laughing wildly.

"Haha! I did it! Master Dao, I did it! Hahahaha!"

Jueming turned around and shouted, "Hey! Master, it seems to be Uncle Xuanxu who is in charge of the ninth furnace!"

Before he finished speaking, he felt a gust of wind blowing beside him, and Dao Ji flew over in a flash.

"What is done? Senior Brother Xuanxu, is the new Liuyi mud really done?"

Dao Ji hugged Xuanxu's arm and seemed a little excited.

At this time, Qingyi and others from Chunyang Palace also gathered around.

Jueming, who was a little slow, was blocked outside the crowd. He held a bowl and tried to push his way in anxiously. He also wanted to know what was going on.

"Make way! Make way! Let me pass, my master is inside!"

However, who would want to miss such excitement? No one cared about him, and everyone was crowding to look inside.

In front of the ninth kiln, Xuanxu was very excited and picked up a gray finished clay slab on the ground.

"Brother Dao Ji! It's done! The newest formula you gave me is done!"

Dao Ji excitedly took the finished mud and poked it a few times with the iron drill in his hand.

"It's really hard! Let me throw it down to see if I can see!"

Everyone held their breath and looked at him with great anticipation. He lifted the finished mud high up and then smashed it hard on the ground.

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from the silent kiln.

That was the sound of breaking!

The expectations of those on the periphery were also shattered.

At this moment, Dao Ji seemed like a deflated ball.

He knew it wouldn't be that easy!

It seems that I was overthinking it. It's another fruitless day!

Xuanxu was also confused. This voice was wrong!

The thing I smashed hard just now only sent some debris flying.

Just when everyone was disappointed, another childish and aggrieved voice sounded.

"Master... why did you smash my bowl? Look, my beans are all over the floor!"

It turned out that Jueming couldn't get in just now, so he suddenly had an idea and got in from under everyone's crotch.

Unexpectedly, the bowl in his hand was broken into pieces by the debris thrown by the master.

"What? It was your bowl that broke just now!"

Dao Ji's worry turned into joy immediately. He squatted down quickly and saw that the clay tablet was still intact. He immediately carried it to the kiln entrance and looked at it carefully in the light of the fire.

Unexpectedly, the more I watched, the more excited I became.

"Sure enough! Although it is not as strong as the Liuyi mud that I presented to Your Majesty, it is enough to cast the well wall!"

Dao Ji was so excited that he slapped Xuan Xu's arms and shouted, "Brother Xuan Xu! We did it! We did it!"

Xuanxu was already floating: "Haha! I told you, I have succeeded! Hahaha!"

"Okay, okay! Brother Xuanxu has worked hard! Everyone has worked hard! I will go to the emperor right now to report the good news and ask for credit for everyone! Hahahaha!"

After Dao Ji finished speaking, he picked up the successful piece of Liuyi clay and ran straight to the Dai Wang Palace.

Jueming grabbed a handful of beans from the ground and hurried after him.

"Master, wait for me!"

Chapter 379: Ten-meter sliding kneeling? Or flying kneeling in the air?

When Zhu Youjian returned to the Prince of Dai's Mansion and had dinner, it was already completely dark.

I've been busy all day and I'm really tired. I don't want to look at any more documents. I'll talk about it tomorrow.

So he lay on the recliner, enjoying Liu Yue's professional massage while staring at the dark night sky outside the window.

In ancient times, there were no mobile phones, no internet, and no electricity. You could do nothing at night.

If this happened in modern times, the nightlife would have just begun.

Some people go to the night market, some people eat skewers, and some people dance.

The younger ones are all playing five-man King of Glory and Chicken Dinner.

The older ones play mahjong, and some play poker.

Well, serious poker.

There are also various live broadcast masters who stay up all night, all night long, showing off their skills and tea art PKs in the streets and alleys and along the riverside...
