Taiye Pool belongs to the royal garden.
Under normal circumstances, only princes, princes, ministers and others have the opportunity to enter according to the order.
This time, Zhu Yijun regularly opened the Taiye Pool to the people of the world, and held the Huangming Expo so that the people of the world could come and watch, which was considered a break from the norm.
However, there is a precedent in history for the royal gardens to be opened to the common people on a regular basis. In the Song Dynasty, in order to enjoy the enjoyment of the people, the emperor would regularly issue decrees to open the royal gardens to the public.
That is to say, what is mentioned in the history books is, "In the open garden, wherever the yellow houses are located and where the dragons and chariots are stationed, you can observe them carefully and appreciate them greatly, and those who have orders cannot be impeached."
Just as the people of the Song Dynasty themselves said at that time: "The saints of this dynasty particularly favored the people's hearts and listened to people's music. Therefore, they did not abolish the old system, nor did they add anything new, and they did not intend to relax themselves."
Now, Zhu Yijun opens Taiye Pool, which actually means having fun with the people.
But he did not just let the people see the "unparalleled ingenuity and concentration skills", but also increased their interest in understanding the culture and art of their own nation, thereby enhancing national cohesion and making more people love this country.
He also used the gimmick of allowing the people to see the royal gardens, allowing more people to see the fine handicraft products he brought back from outside, which was conducive to the development of the commodity economy. In addition, he also used the royal scenery to strengthen the awareness of these products. High quality domestic products.
Although many Jin Yiwei and pro-military guards were added around the entire Taiye Lake to ensure that the security was not relaxed while hosting activities, but with the arrival of the expo, the Taiye Lake, decorated with lights and colors, was still solemn and solemn. It adds a lot of bright and brilliant feeling.
Exhibition booths divided by various prefectures in the world are listed beside the pool, a dazzling array of things to see.
Among the pavilions and pavilions by the pool, there were also famous musicians, actors and dancers summoned from various chief secretaries to perform.
As a result, while many handicraft specialties are on display, many new tunes of the Ming Dynasty are also being performed in turn, so that more people in the world know that the intangible culture of the Ming Dynasty is also changing with each passing day.
As more and more soldiers and civilians were identified and checked to see if they had any forbidden items, and under the guidance of the Jin Yiwei, they entered Taiye Pool in an orderly manner. These soldiers and civilians listened to the waves rippling from the water. All kinds of famous music shows came, while looking at the various objects on the poolside booth and the exquisite design and exquisite decoration of the entire royal garden.
Historically, during the Wanli Dynasty, the most famous new folk porcelain products were the Liuxia lamp and egg mu cup from Hugong Kiln Wu Shijiu, as well as the crank and spindle spinning wheel from Luzhou, as well as the historical works from Wang Zheng's "Illustrated Notes on Newly Made Various Utensils" 》The irrigation artifacts siphon and crane drinking vessel are all on display here at this time.
The people who saw it were dazzled, and it also fully reflected the development of folk handicrafts in the Ming Dynasty in the 20 years before Wanli.
"How did you come up with this threshing machine?"
“This water pumping truck is so ingenious!”
"This movable type copper plate printing is actually better than the one from Huitongguan!"
…
Therefore, after seeing these fine handicrafts from various parts of the Ming Dynasty, many scholars and people started talking about them and were greatly surprised and surprised.
Novelty naturally means being novel about its innovative ideas.
Surprise means being happy about the new way to make money that you have thought of.
"Hurry to Ganquan and buy all the paper made by Sun's Chu, which is made like 'Ling gauze paper' and broken into pieces like cotton thread!"
"Hurry! Now that you've seen it, you can't miss this opportunity to make a fortune, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the God of Wealth!"
After Xue Zheng, Marquis of Yangwu, saw the Ganquan Sun family paper, he immediately whispered instructions to his son Xue Lian.
Xue Zheng looked at the bright moon in the sky as he spoke, and said excitedly: "This paper will be of great use! At least it can be used to make banknotes."
Ling gauze paper was the best paper in the Ming Dynasty and was specially used to paste window panes in the palace, hence the name.
But now, the palace has begun to use large-scale cast glass to decorate the windows, so lattice paper is rarely used.
But people all over the world still call this type of paper Lingsha paper, and it is used as a benchmark for high-quality paper.
And now that Xue Zheng discovered that there was Sun's Chu leather paper that was better than Ling gauze paper, he immediately discovered the business opportunities in it, and he couldn't wait to seize the business opportunities in it.
"Father, why don't we check this person's origins first? If his origins are ordinary and there are no prominent figures in his family, why not go directly to the censor to find a reason, confiscate his paper mill, and take away his paper mill craftsmen, and then we Make this paper yourself, and from now on make it the Xue family paper of Marquis Wu Mansion."
Xue Lian suggested at this time.
Bang!
Xue Zheng kicked Xue Lian directly, then glanced at the Jin Yiwei guard not far away who was on guard with a knife, and said to Xue Lian: "I really want to beat you to death right now, you bastard! But I'm afraid I'll beat you to death in the royal inner garden. It’s disrespectful to the Heavenly Family!”
Xue Lian hurriedly said aggrievedly: "My son is wrong, and my father teaches me a lesson."
"Not to mention the issue of being targeted by the Jin Yiwei if you do this, the key point is that this paper has been known to His Majesty, and then it has been targeted by so many people. How can you directly rob someone else's property? Do you really think that His Majesty is not interested? Do you know what you are thinking?"
"Say it again!"
"Can you use your brain and think about why His Majesty created this Huangming Expo? Do you really think that the benevolent emperor, who has the ambition to enrich the country and benefit the people, is really giving you the opportunity to steal other people's properties?"
"Tell you!"
"Your Majesty is asking you and me to help these people turn their own industry into a bigger industry! This will enable this good folk goods to go across the sea, increase national taxes, and benefit industry and commerce!"
"You are really a new student who has been studying martial arts in Jingwei for so long. You don't talk about the friendship between compatriots, and you make your eating appearance so ugly. People who don't know better think that you haven't studied new studies. You don't know that instead of killing the chicken to get the eggs, it's better to borrow the chicken to lay the eggs!"
"The markets in Japan and Luzon are not big enough for you to make money by reselling the Sun family's paper? You have to rob other people's property and do it yourself!"
"Aren't you afraid that you are the one who makes this paper, and you are the one who sells this paper, and then you will be targeted by more people, and even the imperial court will not tolerate my Xue family?"
After Xue Zheng educated his son Xue Lian, he suddenly realized: "However, even you have this idea. Maybe there are other powerful people who have this idea. How about this, you go to Ganquan in person to meet his grandson." The head of the family told him that as long as he is willing to join my Xue family in opening a branch in the capital and other places, our Xue family is willing to contract all the money for the opening of the branch, and he will get a 50% dividend for free. In addition, our Xue family will Therefore, the family will not let anyone care about his family's property, and will only help his Sun family to open their own paper mills all over the world, and even go to sea."
"If he refuses, you will give another 10% on behalf of our Xue family. The bottom line is 37 points!"
"My father is still smarter!"
"My son is indeed clumsy."
Xue Lian thought for a while and understood what Yangwu Marquis Xue Zheng meant, and then admitted his shortcomings to Xue Zheng.
Seeing that his son took the initiative to admit his mistake and looked up to him with admiration, Xue Zheng was also very pleased. He puffed up his chest and continued to educate his son while looking at the lakes and mountains of Taiye Lake:
"You have to remember that as the most powerful man in the world, His Majesty will not directly seize the interests of the people. It must be because even the emperor thinks it is not cost-effective to directly seize the wealth of the people. If you don’t take it from anyone, who gave you the courage to take it from the world?”
"yes!"
"My son remembers it!"
Like Xue Zheng, many powerful bureaucrats and wealthy businessmen were participating in the exposition and began to explore the wealth behind these excellent handicrafts.
Even ordinary people are interested in buying and imitating these handicrafts after seeing them.
In particular, the female relatives who came to Taiyechi couldn't wait to buy the products from the place of origin after seeing the many exquisite jewelry, clothing materials and rouge and gouache on display.
In short, because of such an expo, a lot of silver dollars began to flow for a while, investment activities also increased significantly, and a new economic growth began to brew and was ready to explode.
And this expo not only allows people to see opportunities to make money and generate a desire to consume, but also inspires people to innovate.
At this moment, Zhao Shizhen and others said to Qi Changguo, who was the minister of the Ministry of Industry and a general temple official: "Da Sikong, this crank-linked spinning wheel reminds me that if we improve the steam engine we made, we can directly Using a steam engine to drive a spinning wheel to spin yarn, does it mean that only one steam machine is needed to allow many spinning wheels to spin yarn at the same time?”
"This is a good idea!"
Qi Changguo also said something solemnly, and then pulled Zhao Shizhen away from Taiye Pool, not even paying attention to Shen Shixing and other ministers who met him on the way.
Shen Shixing always had a good temper and was very tolerant of people like Qi Changguo and Zhao Shizhen who only loved to study and make various utensils. He did not blame them. He only smiled and said that he would come with him to Taiye Pond to watch the scholars and people enjoy the scenery of the royal garden, and prepared to Wang Xijue, who wrote a poem about Beidu, said:
"Mr. Ge is accompanying His Majesty on his western tour, but do you think His Majesty's impression of us Eguan experts has changed?"
"If he had not changed his mind, Your Majesty would not have held this expo."
Wang Xijue said with a smile.
Shen Shixing nodded, then took a long breath and said, "Yes, what is the one emperor through the ages? This is the one emperor through the ages!"
"Not only can he command a hundred thousand troops and lay down millions of corpses in the world, but he can also restrain his murderous intentions and only practice benevolent government and enjoy the happiness of the people!"
"Your Majesty holds Tai'a and does not do evil, but only seeks to benefit the people. He is truly a holy master and benevolent king who is rare in the ages. It is precisely because of this that we have today's prosperity of natural treasures and the joy of the king and the people!"
"Herein, Yuan Fu's ten years of service as Prime Minister are not insignificant."
Wang Xijue replied at this time.
Shen Shixing waved his hand and said with a smile: "When you meet such a holy emperor and the position of chief minister of the cabinet, even if you replace me with a clay idiot, as long as you obey his instructions and serve as prime minister for ten years, I can still achieve this great cause."
"Thanks to Yuan Fu for your advice, I will remember it!"
"It's just that Yuan Fu wants to give advice next time, so there's no need to be so subtle and tactful."
Wang Xijue said with a smile at this time.
