His understanding was incredible, he was the number one scholar at the age of eight, which shocked Z

Not long after, there was laughter outside.

Zhu Yuanzhang winked at Empress Ma, and he walked behind the screen himself.

Concubine Sun Guifei and Concubine Tai Chong entered the Kunning Palace with a smile, and they bowed to Empress Ma: "See the Empress Concubine." "

With a smile at the corner of her mouth, Empress Ma raised her hand: "Sisters, all get up." I came to you today because the emperor's birthday festival is coming, and I will discuss with you how to spend it. "

Concubine Taicang's eyes lit up, and her tone was a little excited: "Empress Concubine, the concubine heard that the birthday in the capital recently had a new thing, called a birthday cake, that is the birthday cake of the Taibailou, let's order a big birthday cake for the emperor, right?" "

Empress Ma didn't expect this, she often went to Taibailou to buy baked cakes.

She nodded slowly: "This is a new thing, let the emperor also taste it." "

Concubine Tai Chong hurriedly said: "The concubines also heard that there is a birthday song, the palace maids all hummed, I wish you a happy birthday, I wish you a happy birthday, everyone sings for the emperor together, it must be lively." "

Concubine Sun, who had not spoken on the side, smiled lightly: "The emperor has always advocated frugality, so if we have such fanfare, will he be unhappy?" "

Empress Ma waved her hand: "How much silver is the birthday cake?" The emperor's longevity festival has to be presentable, right? The main palace thinks that this method is very good, too full of concubines, it is up to you to arrange. "

Concubine Tai Chong was full of joy: "Yes, Niangniang." "

A sneer flashed at the corner of Sun Guifei's mouth.

Empress Ma hung out with them for a while, and then let them retreat.

After they left, Zhu Yuanzhang came out from behind the screen and asked Zhang Da Niang, who had been standing there, "Who are them?" "

Zhang Da Niang frowned and shook her head.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma looked at each other, weren't they? , that is the dead Concubine Weng.

"Is there a portrait of Concubine Weng?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked Empress Ma.

Empress Ma turned around and went to the room, took a painting and unfolded it for Zhang Da Niang to see.

Zhang Da Niang still shook her head.

"Nor is it?" Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked.

"That's not them." Empress Ma secretly sighed in relief.

She knew that if it was one of the concubines, this harem would bleed again, and the key was that Concubine Sun and Concubine Tai Chong both had children.

That would be a tragedy.

"Lady Zhang, you go with us to Jinyiwei." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Because Jinyiwei has a special painter, who can draw portraits according to the description

......

Su County.

Zhu Feng and Su Xiaowan stood in front of a gate that resembled a modern park.

Above the gate are five big characters: Suxian Textile Factory.

Su Xiaowan looked puzzled: "What does this mean?" "

Zhu Feng spread his hands and smiled: "Silk is not only needed by Daming himself, but can also be exported overseas, so the first pillar industry of our Su County must be a textile factory." "

Su Xiaowan didn't know what factory meant.

Zhu Feng walked into the factory with a curious her, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard the sound of water.

Then, she was shocked.

In the first building, there are several huge machines with complex structures, consisting of multiple delicate components, such as water wheels, spinning wheels, fiber treatment devices, etc.

This is the hydraulic spinning machine that Zhu Feng built himself.

Each machine can process multiple fiber clusters at the same time, spinning cotton yarn up to thousands of meters long, which is dozens of times more efficient than manual one.

"This is spinning?" Su Xiaowan was surprised.

"That's right, spinning with this thing greatly improves efficiency and saves labor." Zhu Feng spread his hands.

"This speed is amazing, as long as there are enough machines, won't we spin more yarn than all the places in Daming combined?" Su Xiaowan was excited.

"Don't get excited, it's just spinning, come here and see the weaving." Zhu Feng hooked his finger.

He took Su Xiaowan into the factory on the other side.

As far as the eye can see, it is also a huge machine.

This is a hydraulic loom.

More complex than spinning machines, from the winding of cotton yarn, to the shuttling back and forth, to the cutting and conveying of fabric, all steps are carried out by hydraulic looms. It's all done in a compact space, showing amazing efficiency.

"It's incredible, my lord, you made all this?" Su Xiaowan's eyes lit up.

"Your family is a genius!" Zhu Feng's face was proud.

"Well, Master Genius, how can I assist you?" Su Xiaowan's eyes flashed.

"Of course, it is to recruit workers, the people of Suxian can come to work in the textile factory, and we will pay monthly salaries." Zhu Feng said.

"Great, the people have more income." Su Xiaowan said.

"It's not that simple, with huge production, you still need to sell." The corners of Zhu Feng's mouth raised slightly, "But for the time being, Shen Wansan will be responsible for sales." "

He thought in his heart that in the future, he must build his own caravan, go to sea, and export Daming's silk, porcelain, etc. overseas.

Just like looking at historical records in previous lives, the mysterious East India Company was powerful enough to control global trade.

It even has its own army, which can influence the political situation in some places.

In the current Ming Dynasty, silk is 6 taels and one horse in Daming, and Western merchants come to collect it, that is 15 taels of horses, one back and forth, it is 9 taels of silver, and 6 taels of silver itself has to make money.

Zhu Feng had calculated that if he had his own caravan to go overseas, the profit would be higher.

500,000 horses of silk, at least 5 million taels of silver.

If you increase horsepower production and make a million horses at a time, it will be 10 million taels of profit.

What a horrible profit.

Daming's fiscal revenue for the whole year is about 60 million taels.

Moreover, a million horses of silk is too little for overseas.

Of course, this is not so simple, huge silk sales, but also need a huge raw silk support, more Kuwado to do.

However, as long as there is a profit trend, it is not a problem.

......

Zhu Feng's textile factory officially started production.

He took Shen Wansan and walked again, stunned Shen Wansan.

Because Shen Wansan himself has dozens of workshops and four or five thousand looms, but they are all manual, and they cannot be compared with Zhu Feng's hydraulic machines.

The efficiency of the hydraulic machine is dozens of times that of his, and it also costs labor.

As a businessman, Shen Wansan could see the power at a glance.

"Master Zhu, can I buy your machine?" Shen Wansan asked.

"It's not impossible, but wait for my side to operate first." Zhu Feng smiled.

He hasn't figured out how to sell the machine, whether it's a hammer or a cut.

However, even if he wanted to buy it, he had to wait until Su County became the textile center of Daming before selling it.

Machines can be replaced.

The current hydraulic machine has a very serious disadvantage, that is, when there is no water, it stops.

In the future, a steam engine will definitely be needed, although Zhu Feng has a complete plan for the steam engine in his mind, but it requires many processes, and it takes a promotion from all aspects of Daming's industry before he can manufacture a steam engine.

"Master Zhu, I will sell all the silk you have here." Shen Wan said.

"That's nature, who makes us partners." Zhu Feng smiled, "Besides, you have shares in this industrial park. "

"Thirty million investment, this silk household alone is enough for me to earn back." Shen Wansan sighed, "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, Lord Zhu, I will rely on you to carry more in the future." "

"No, no, Shen Treasurer, you are a senior." Zhu Feng smiled, "I just have an idea, talk to you, I want to set up a Daming Trading Company, we both inject capital, and go overseas trade." "

He crackled and repeated his thoughts. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

Shen Wansan listened intently, and the light in his eyes kept flashing: "My blood is boiling when I listen to it, of course I am willing." However, there is a problem, now the emperor has implemented a sea ban, which is not easy to operate. "

Zhu Feng knew.

In fact, Shen Wansan is quietly doing overseas trade, and he has huge overseas channels.

It's just that the imperial court imposed a sea ban, and he couldn't do it on a scale.

"The emperor's side, I'll go and say." Zhu Feng smiled, "Can we divide the profits between the emperor and throw ten million taels on the emperor's face, see if he is moved?" "

He had a way in his heart to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang.

Hehe, because Zhu Yuanzhang lacks money.

"Well, only you dare to do this." Shen Wansan's forehead.

"Shen Treasurer, then let's move this matter as soon as possible and sell it overseas, that is a big profit." Zhu Feng said.

"Good!" Shen Wansan frowned, "But to sail far, our ship is still a problem." "

"I'll solve this, I don't want a ship, it's a battleship!" The corners of Zhu Feng's mouth raised slightly.

He already had a full-fledged iron ship scheme in his mind, and he intended to install the most advanced guns on the ship.

Not only that, but the Mojia technique is also used.

At that time, the battleship formation of the Daming Trading Company will be the hegemon at sea.

......

Su County is in full swing of development.

Zhu Yuanzhang in the capital ran into trouble, due to floods in many places, and after autumn, there was a locust plague, the border was unstable, the Northern Yuan in the north invaded the border from time to time, and there were many local forces in Shu to make chaos, and the king of Liang in Yunnan never submitted.

"Money! Money! Money! "

Money is needed everywhere, but the treasury is almost empty.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very worried.

The ministers are even more worried, because they can't think of a way to get scolded again.

After the early dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang came to the Wenhua Hall and looked at the big bachelors standing in front of him.

"Usually you talk one by one, why are you dumb now?" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily, "It's nothing, what use do I want you to have!" "

The university scholars thought in their hearts, Emperor, aren't you also helpless? Why scold us?

Zhu Yuanzhang sent a rage and drove them all out.

"Father, take a sip of tea to suppress the shock." Zhu Biao handed over a cup of tea.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip and snorted: "If Zhu Feng is here, he is sure that he has a way." "

Zhu Biao's face was strange: "Father Emperor, do you want to send him a letter?" "

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly shook his head: "No! We can't afford to lose that man. By the way, is there any news from Suxian over there in Jinyiwei? What has Zhu Feng's kid been busy with lately? "

Zhu Biao took out a fold and handed it over, saying, "What kind of textile factory has been built, according to Jinyiwei, those strange machines of the Suxian textile factory." Whether it's spinning or weaving, the efficiency is amazing. "

Zhu Yuanzhang wrinkled his eyebrows: "This kid is going to weave cloth?" "

He thought to himself, isn't it just weaving, how amazing it can be.

Zhu Biao smiled slightly: "Not only that, he is also working with Shen Wansan to engage in a Daming trading company, I don't know what to do." "

Zhu Yuanzhang pouted: "Shen Wansan, that fool, mixed with Zhu Feng, will be fooled and lame sooner or later." "

The two were chatting.

Eunuch Wang Jinghong came up with a folded book and bowed: "Your Majesty, this is the folded son of Suxian County Ling Zhu Feng, who has just arrived." "

A smile flashed on Zhu Yuanzhang's face: "This kid still remembers the last fold, it won't be to anger us, right?" "

He took the fold handed by Wang Jinghong and opened it.

The first sentence above is: Your Majesty, are you short of silver? The minister has recently made a small fortune and can lend it to you.

"This man, you want to be our creditor?" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted.

He quickly looked down and snorted: "Biao'er, take a look, Zhu Feng sent us money, but there is a condition." "

Zhu Biao took it and looked at it.

It turned out that Zhu Feng said in the letter that he had recently made a windfall fortune and could hand over 5 million taels of silver, either to lend it to the imperial court or give it to the imperial court.

Not only that, in the future, he could give the imperial court 5 million taels of silver every year, as long as he agreed to set up a caravan to go to sea and trade with the foreign clans on behalf of Daming.

"Give 5 million taels a year? He's not a child's play, is he? Zhu Biao frowned.

"He has indeed made a windfall recently, and as for the latter saying that he will give 5 million taels a year, we don't think it's a big deal." Zhu Yuanzhang thought thoughtfully, "However, this (money) is the same as us, it is a dime, suddenly so generous, we think there must be a big cat in it." "

"Father Emperor, don't take nothing! Besides, his caravan was allowed by the imperial court to trade with foreign domains, which was not a violation of the sea ban. Zhu Biao smiled slyly, "It's not easy on the sea, wokou or something, don't you also worry about wokou, father?" Maybe this Zhu Feng solved it in order to earn money. "

"Hahaha, yes, let's see what he does, anyway, we don't lose." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly, "Biao'er, you immediately write back to him and let him send someone to send 5 million taels." "

Zhu Biao nodded with a smile.

......

Su County.

Zhu Feng, who had been busy all day, returned to the small courtyard and did not see the old Fan Tou.

His stomach was rumbling with hunger, and he was about to go out to the neighbor to find food, and the old fan returned with a hoe.

"Old Fan, what are you busy with?" Zhu Feng asked.

"Farming, let me tell you, sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, you can start to promote planting." Old Fan Tou said.

Zhu Feng patted his head.

How did I almost forget about this stubble.

"Old Fan, this matter will be left to you, Su Xiaowan and I have been too busy recently." Zhu Feng said.

"Hey, I know you'll shake your hands, I'm all ready, and I also selected some people outside the city and distributed them to plant." Old Fan Tou said, "The current amount is not large, let's distribute it to the mountain people first." "

"It's all right, if you plant it, most of it will be counted as theirs, and next year you will have to take out a part and continue to distribute it to other people." Zhu Feng spread his hands.

"That's what I thought." Old Fan Tou said, "They are all very happy, picking up cheap for nothing, who is not happy?" "

Zhu Feng smiled it off, he touched his stomach, and took the old Fan head to find a neighbor to rub rice.
