Chapter five hundred and twentieth: another artifact was born

Xiao Jing felt that he had made a mistake.

If this can't be done, something will happen.

He was trembling and exonerated His Highness the Crown Prince.

He is a man in the palace. No matter who the people in the palace offend, they cannot offend the emperor or the prince.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed not to see through Xiao Jing's thoughts, and only thought that he was expelling the young master. This time, he just used too much force on the surface.

Emperor Hongzhi said, "Hey, actually... Fang Jifan was right just now. The prince is a stubborn person. He can't even pull back what he is willing to do. No one can instruct him to do what he is unhappy to do. I think I am like this. Isn't that the same? Just say that Fang Jifan can force him to do this girl? After all, it is his nature. The dignified prince is actually interested in this kind of thing. He is not ashamed of it, but proud. I am willing to hand over the world of the Ming Dynasty to him?"

"He..." Emperor Hongzhi said: "He is becoming more and more dissatisfied. If I don't deal with him, how can I be worthy of my ancestors and subjects in the world?"

It would be fine if Xiao Jingyi pleaded for Zhu Houzhao, and Emperor Hongzhi became popular. Look at such a rebellious son, who is not in awe of him, and is talking good things for him everywhere, and everyone has great expectations for him. What about him? He does this all day long? Do the country and country of the Ming Dynasty still have to do it?

Is there any prince who did this in all dynasties?

Emperor Hongzhi gritted his teeth: "Tomorrow, the guards will order the rebellious son to take him to the front of the imperial court. If he does not repent, I will beat him to death."

Xiao Jing shivered.

It's over.

He still couldn't understand why he was clearly suing Fang Jifan for taking over the prince, but in the end he was like this. He was the evil of that schoolmate.

Yes, Fang Jifan is simply despicable and shameless. He told His Majesty that the prince could not force anyone. This is not obvious. Is it a point to push all the blame on His Highness? This guy is so sinister.

"His Majesty……"

"Stop talking!" Emperor Hongzhi was still angry: "Don't say it!"

Xiao Jing was shocked and his face was ashamed.

A moment later, Zhang Mao met and saluted. Seeing Xiao Jing dead, he felt suspicious in his heart: "Your Majesty, the latest military information, the Tatar Khan, in the name of revenge, gathered 40,000 cavalry southward, and the passes everywhere are in urgent need..."

Emperor Hongzhi didn't care about this. This time, the Tatar Khan was temporarily raising troops, and the troops could be summoned were limited. After all, the Tatars were distributed in various pastures in the desert. Such a temporary piece of military horses was used to move south only to show that the Tatars had lost their minds. As long as they were strictly guarded and defended, there would be no chaos.

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Mao: "Zhang Qing's family is out recently, how can he hear any rumors?"

"What?" Zhang Mao was stunned for a moment.

Emperor Hongzhi stared at him and said coldly: "Come on the truth."

"I...I don't know what......"

Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "Crown Prince..."

The prince...

Zhang Mao's face turned green.

Could it be... it's because...

Zhang Mao denied: "No... I haven't heard of it."

"You want to make a quibble?" Emperor Hongzhi saw Zhang Mao's panic.

"This is actually no big deal." Zhang Mao had to say: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Crown Prince is still young."

After all, Zhang Mao dared not deceive the emperor.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and understood.

"I will definitely beat him to death!"

He said lightly.

Sure enough, it was still spread.

I'm really not afraid of embarrassment.

Emperor Hongzhi finally remembered his duties.

So, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

………………………………………

Here in Xishan, according to the colors and patterns, Zhu Houzhao organized a group of women in Xishan and had already worn out hundreds of sweaters.

The first time I knitted a sweater, this one was knitted for half a month.

When Fang Jifan returned, Zhu Hou took care of his achievements. The trade was woven with wool dyed with green and white threads. The two stripes intersected, looking like the prison clothes of later generations.

Of course, even prison clothes were actually quite fashionable in this era. Fang Jifan asked Zhu Houzhao to try to wear them, inside... first put on a coat, then took off the jacket and put on a sweater. The sweater was a little tight, and Zhu Houzhao felt a little uncomfortable.

Fang Jifan said, "Your Highness, it's going to be better slowly. That's it. Your Highness will try it out for a walk."

Zhu Houzhao, wearing a prison clothes, immediately left the house with excitement.

In fact, he still felt a little cold when he was wearing a jacket, but when he put on this tight sweater, he felt a little hot. He felt much cooler after leaving the house.

The sweaters at this time were made of pure wool knitted. The newly built prevention and control workshop in Xishan has begun to acquire wool on a large scale, and it is only known that it is possible.

The textile machine was also created by the craftsmen of Xishan under the command of Fang Jifan. The one borrowed... was the style of Jenny textile machines in later generations. Borrowing shuttle and hand-crank textile methods can greatly improve the efficiency of textiles.

Whether it is wool or cotton, it can be spun into cotton and wool as fast as possible.

The speed of textiles is more than five to ten times that of the previous looms.

In later generations, people generally believed that the emergence of Jenny's textile machine was the beginning of the industrial revolution.

It is precisely because of the greatly improved textile efficiency that people's demand for wool and cotton has increased, that the famous sheep eating movement in history has emerged. Also because of the emergence of Jenny's textile machine, the home hand-made weaving is completely impossible to compare with workshop-style weaving. This Jenny's textile machine is too efficient. It is impossible for ordinary families to spend huge amounts of money to buy such textile machines. Even if you buy it, would you want to make cotton and wool for dozens or hundreds of people?

Therefore, the textile industry began to produce intensively, and the home-hand-made methods were more efficient, cheaper, and more colorful and more beautiful textiles. The best quality textiles were directly rubbed on the ground. In the end, the self-sufficiency textile industry was completely defeated, and people began to tend to buy high-quality and low-cost textiles on the market.

Now, although this pure wool sweater is a bit uncomfortable for Zhu Houzhao and seems uncomfortable, the sweater is almost stuck to his body, which is not airtight. When people are outdoors, they not only don’t feel the chill, but they still feel a little hot.

It is probably because the cotton coat is a little tight and the body is constantly moving. The inner coat and sweater rub together, which also generates some heat.

Zhu Houzhao was just in her blood, and she wiped the sweat from her forehead and was happy again: "It's strange to say that when she was wearing a jacket, she always felt that the wind was coming into her body. It was a bit cold, but her hands and feet were very cold. The sweater on her body made her feel warm even.

nonsense……

As my body becomes warmer, the blood flows in my body accelerates, and my whole body is naturally warm.

Fang Jifan knew that Zhu Houzhao felt extremely hot at this time and that her sweater was a little tight. After wearing it for a while, she was not as hot as she could.

However, the effect of sweaters to protect against cold is actually better than that of jackets. Of course, you can wear them together, so you will be basically invincible. Even in Liaodong, you will never be afraid of the cold.

At first, Fang Jifan did not dare to make trouble with Jenny's textile machine because he knew very well that once this thing was released, the efficiency of the thing was doubled, which meant huge profits. When many people were still hungry, if this trick was learned by merchants in Jiangbei and Jiangnan, God would know whether they would pull up crops on a large scale to plant grass with higher economic benefits or cotton.

If this is the case, countless people will go hungry if they reduce their grain production on a large scale.

Now that the food problem has begun to ease, Fang Jifan dared to make such an attempt.

Zhu Houzhao moved his arms and said excitedly: "It's better than a jacket, much better than a jacket. It's so inconvenient to move the jacket. This sweater was a bit uncomfortable at first, but his hands and feet were very flexible. Lao Fang, are you cold? Are you cold? I'll try to wear it for you."

Fang Jifan wiped the snot that was about to flow down from the cold: "No, I'll wear my own. I'll weave it myself..."

Zhu Houzhao despised him: "Look at your stitches, that thing can be worn."

Fang Jifan said stubbornly: "If you can, just grind the iron rod into a needle as long as you work hard!"

Zhu Houzhao crossed his hands and laughed: "We can start selling sweaters. What price is this sweater? It's at least ten taels of silver per piece. You have to know that a good leather material is probably at this price. I think the leather material tastes strange and is not comfortable to wear."

The leather jackets of this era are completely different from those of later generations. Because the ancients could not perform fine processing, they did not become like leather jackets that became tools to show off their wealth, but were just used to keep warm.

In addition, the ancients had many shortcomings in their craftsmanship. Even if they were to keep warm, the effect of this leather jacket was limited. It was indeed powerful to keep warm and could not stop the leakage of air.

Fang Jifan was happy: "Ten taels? No, no, no, I have to sell them at a low price. Did Your Highness forget our original intention? We are looking for things to keep warm for the people. Is this kind of money still a human being? Besides, the sweaters we knitted are only dozens or hundreds in half a month. Even if we sell them for one hundred taels, how much money can we make?"

Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt a little suffocated: "What? It's a waste of time?"

"Sell a tael of silver." Fang Jifan stretched out his hand and said seriously: "Your Highness, this sweater is just a sample. The real intention is to sell wool. The purpose of knitting sweaters is to tell everyone the benefits of sweaters. Knitting sweaters is not a difficult task. Everyone in the housewife can knit them. We cannot sell clothes on a large scale, but we can weave them on a large scale and supply these cotton threads and wool. Your Highness, do you understand what I mean?"
