Xiao Jing felt that he had made a mistake.

It can't be like this, something will happen.

Trembling with fear, he excused His Highness the Crown Prince.

He is a member of the palace, and no one in the palace can offend the emperor and prince if they offend anyone.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't seem to see through Xiao Jing's intentions, he just thought he was trying to excuse the young master, this time, it was just a little too much force on the surface.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Ah, actually just now...Fang Jifan was right in one point. The crown prince is stubborn. What he is willing to do, nine cows can't bring him back. What he is not willing to do, no one can do." Instructing him to do it. His temperament, I think, isn’t that the case? Just say that this female celebrity, Fang Jifan can force him to do it? After all, it is his nature. The dignified prince, he is so moved by such things I am not ashamed of interest, but I am proud of it, the world of Ming Dynasty, I am willing to hand it over to him?"

"He..." Emperor Hongzhi said: "He is getting worse and worse. If I don't deal with him, how can I be worthy of my ancestors and my subjects in this world."

Not to mention it’s okay, as soon as Xiao Jing pleaded for Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Hongzhi was already angry, such a rebellious son, look around him, there is no one who is not in awe of him, saying good things for him everywhere, everyone treats him With great expectations, does he? He does this all the time? Do you still want the great Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji?

In all dynasties, has there been a prince who has done such a thing?

Emperor Hongzhi gritted his teeth: "Tomorrow, I will order the guards to take this rebellious son to the imperial court. If he doesn't 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 corrupting the prince, but in the end it turned out like this, it was the fault of that disciple.

That's right, Fang Jifan is simply despicable and shameless, just now he said to His Majesty that the crown prince can't be forced by anyone. Doesn't it make it clear that all the crimes are being pushed on His Highness the crown prince? This guy is really insidious.

"His Majesty……"

"Shut up!" Emperor Hongzhi was still in a rage: "Stop talking!"

Xiao Jing shivered, his face was ashen.

After a while, Zhang Mao went to see him and paid his respects. Seeing that Xiao Jing was dead, he seemed to have all sorts of doubts in his heart: "Your Majesty, the latest military situation, that Tatar Khan, in the name of revenge, gathered 40,000 cavalry to go south. Every pass is in a hurry..."

Emperor Hongzhi didn't care about this. This time, it was the Tatar Khan who raised troops temporarily, and the army and horses he could muster were limited. After all, the Tatars were scattered in the pastures of the desert. Such a temporary collection of troops and horses to go south can only show that the Tatars If you lose your mind, you will pass through the gates everywhere, as long as you strictly guard against them, nothing will happen.

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Mao: "Zhang Qing's family has been away recently, but they have heard some gossip."

"What?" Zhang Mao was taken aback for a moment.

Emperor Hongzhi stared at him and said coldly: "You tell the truth."

"Chen... I don't know... which aspect..."

Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "Prince..."

Prince...

Zhang Mao's face turned green.

Could it be... because...

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

"You want to argue?" Emperor Hongzhi saw Zhang Mao's panic.

"It's actually not a big deal." Zhang Mao had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is still young."

After all, Zhang Mao did not dare to deceive the king.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and understood.

"I will definitely kill him!"

He said lightly.

Sure enough, it still spread.

I'm not afraid of embarrassment.

Emperor Hongzhi finally remembered his duty.

Ever since, there was a murderous look in his eyes.

……………………

Here in Xishan, according to the colors and patterns, Zhu Houzhao organized a group of women in Xishan, who have made hundreds of sweaters.

It was my first time knitting a sweater, and this one took me half a month to knit.

When Fang Jifan came back, Zhu Hou took care of his own achievements. This sweater was woven from wool dyed with green and white threads, with two kinds of stripes alternated with each other. It looked... like the prison clothes of later generations.

Of course, even prison clothes are quite fashionable in this era. Fang Jifan asked Zhu Houzhao to try them on. Inside... he first put on an inner garment, 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 conveniently: "Your Highness, it will get better slowly, that's it, Your Highness, go out and take a walk and try."

Zhu Houzhao, who was wearing a prison uniform, immediately left the room excitedly.

In fact, he still felt a little cold wearing a jacket, but when he put on the tight-fitting sweater, he felt a little dry and hot, and he felt much cooler just now when he left the house.

The sweaters at this time were woven from pure wool, and the newly built textile workshop in Xishan had begun to purchase wool on a large scale for weaving.

The weaving machine was also made by the craftsmen of Xishan under the command of Fang Jifan, borrowing... the style of the later Jenny's weaving machine. Borrowing shuttle and hand spinning methods can greatly improve the efficiency of weaving.

Whether it is wool or cotton silk, it can be spun into cotton and wool at the fastest speed.

spinning speed

, which is more than five to ten times that of the previous loom.

In later generations, it is generally believed that the appearance of the Jenny textile machine is the beginning of the industrial revolution.

It is precisely because the efficiency of weaving has been greatly improved that people's demand for wool and cotton is increasing day by day, which led to the famous sheep cannibalism movement in history. Also because of the appearance of the Jenny textile machine, the hand-made weaving at home has no way to compare with the workshop-style weaving. This Jenny textile machine is so efficient that it is impossible for an ordinary family to spend huge sums of money to buy such a textile machine. Even if you buy it, are you going to make cotton and wool for dozens or hundreds of people?

As a result, the textile industry began to intensively produce, and the household manual method was directly rubbed on the ground by the textiles with higher efficiency, lower cost, more colors and the best quality in the workshop. In the end, the self-sufficient The textile industry was completely destroyed, and people began to prefer to buy high-quality and cheap textiles in the market.

Now, with this pure wool sweater on his body, although Zhu Houzhao felt a little uncomfortable, but this sweater was almost attached to his body, and it was airtight. He was outdoors, not only did he not feel the chill, It still feels a little hot.

It was probably because the cotton coat was a little tight, and the body was constantly moving. The friction between the inner coat and the sweater also generated some heat.

Zhu Houzhao was full of blood, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and laughed again: "It's strange to say that I used to wear a jacket, and I always felt the wind coming into my body, which made me feel cold, but my hands and feet were very cold. With this sweater on, even my hands and feet felt warm.

nonsense……

As the body warms up, the blood flow in the body accelerates, and the whole body is naturally warm.

Fang Jifan knew that Zhu Houzhao felt unusually hot at this time, and the reason why the sweater was a little tight, after wearing it for a while, it was no longer so hot.

However, the effect of sweaters against the cold is actually better than that of jackets. Of course, the two can also be worn together. Basically, they are invincible. Even in Liaodong, they are no longer afraid of the cold.

At the beginning, Fang Jifan didn't dare to toss out the Jenny textile machine because he knew very well that once this thing came out, the efficiency would be doubled, which would mean huge profits. When many people were still hungry, If the merchants in Jiangbei and Jiangnan learn this trick, God knows if they will pull out crops on a large scale to grow pasture or cotton with higher economic benefits.

If so, food production will be reduced on a large scale, and countless people will go hungry.

Now, the food problem has begun to ease, so 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 very inconvenient to move around. This sweater is a bit uncomfortable to wear at first, but the hands and feet are very flexible. Old man Fang, are you cold, you are cold, I will take it off for you to try on."

Fang Jifan wiped his snot from the cold: "No, I wear my own. I knit myself..."

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

Fang Jifan said bluntly: "It is possible, as long as the kung fu is deep and the iron pestle is ground into a needle!"

Zhu Houzhao crossed his hands and laughed loudly: "We can start selling sweaters. What price are you going to sell for this sweater? At least ten taels of silver a piece. You must know that a good piece of leather is about the same price. , Bengong thinks that the leather smells weird, and it's uncomfortable to wear."

The leather garments of this era are completely different from those of later generations, because the ancients could not carry out fine processing, so it does not seem that leather garments have become a tool to show off wealth, but are simply used to keep out the cold.

In addition, the craftsmanship level of the ancients has many shortcomings. Even if it is to protect against the cold, the effect of this leather jacket is limited.

Fang Jifan laughed: "Ten taels? No, no, no, we have to sell it at a low price. Has Your Highness forgotten our original intention? We are looking for things for the common people to keep out the cold. Are you still human if you earn this kind of money? Besides , the sweaters we knit, after half a month, there are only tens or hundreds of pieces in total, even if we sell them for one hundred taels, how much money can we make?"

Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt a little suffocated: "What? Did you do it for nothing?"

"Sell for 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. Sweaters are not difficult, any housewife can weave them, we cannot sell clothes on a large scale, but we can weave them on a large scale to supply cotton and wool, Your Highness, do you understand what I mean?"

Zhu Houzhao squinted his eyes, amused, and patted Fang Jifan on the shoulder: "It's agreed, this textile workshop, I own 30% of the shares."
