The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night

Xie Yiyao patiently explained the situation to her uncle:

"Uncle, this coal contains impurities, ash and sulfur. These three substances are harmful. Not only can they easily poison people, but they will also reduce the thermal properties of the coal and shorten the burning time of the coal."

"My dear girl, you are really amazing!"

Gu Yubai was full of admiration after hearing what Xie Yiyao said. He felt extremely proud. He thought his niece was truly the most powerful person in the world!

"Come on, second uncle, little uncle, let's go to the honeycomb briquettes production area and take a look!"

Xie Yiyao didn’t say much. In fact, it wasn’t that she was so powerful, but that the civilization of the era she lived in was already highly developed.

Xie Yiyao was very satisfied with Zhang Zhongdan's execution rate. These recruited civilians had only been trained for a few days, but they seemed to be very skilled in doing their jobs!

As soon as Xie Yiyao led Gu Yubai and Gu Yu'an to the area where honeycomb coal was made, a man rushed up.

The boy's entire face was covered with black coal marks, as well as on his hands and body. He looked like a naughty monkey.

"Princess, you are so smart that you can come up with such a wonderful way to make honeycomb coal! Come on, I'll show you! This coal is really warm!"

The boy grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth. His facial features were clearly defined, and his clear, bright eyes were full of innocence and silliness.

What a big fool, Xie Yiyao secretly complained in her heart.

"Oh my, my young master, you can't bully the Crown Princess! The young ladies in the capital are all very reserved and noble. Be careful or the master will see you and beat you again!"

An old slave came running over in a panic, trying nervously to stop Zhang Qianfan as he ran.

Zhang Qianfan listened to the old slave's words, and his skin tightened reflexively, and he quickly let go of Xie Yiyao's hand:

"Princess, I just like you too much. I'm so happy to see you. I'm showing you my achievements over the past two days. You won't go to my father and complain about me, will you?"

As soon as Zhang Qianfan finished speaking, he received a big slap on the head, which made him spin several times!

But he stood firmly again!

After standing firm, he looked at Xie Yiyao proudly with an expression that said, "How awesome is this!"

"You bastard! It's fine if you usually play around with your sisters at home, but you dare to play around with the Crown Princess, who is a noble woman. I think I'll change your name to Zhang Xiongdan!"

Zhang Zhongdan rushed towards Zhang Qianfan again, cursing. How could Zhang Qianfan let his father beat him a second time!

Whoosh, he slipped away!

Xie Yiyao narrowed her eyes. This silly boy has pretty good Qinggong skills!

Zhang Zhongdan looked at the silent "Feng Junyi" with a nervous look on his face, and then quickly explained to Xie Yiyao:

"Please forgive me, Crown Princess. I was too busy with my official duties to educate my son. His mother only had him and doted on him too much. She raised him to be lawless and he runs around in Yanjing City every day!"

Xie Yiyao didn't care. Zhang Qianfan just pulled her arm and didn't touch her hand at all.

Besides, the weather is cold now and everyone is wearing thick clothes. Plus, Zhang Qianfan’s face is full of excitement about taking her to see the honeycomb coal. In her eyes, Zhang Qianfan is still a naughty kid playing in the mud, so she didn’t feel offended.

"It doesn't matter."

Zhang Zhongdan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xie Yiyao did not blame him.

This rebellious son must be whipped a few times when he gets home!

Zhang Qianfan, who was running wildly all the way, suddenly became nervous for some reason!

No, no! He can't go home today, he needs to go out and hide!

Princess, you see, there is an iron stove in this tent. The craftsmen made it overnight, and they have already made 100 of them!

As soon as she entered the warm tent, Xie Yiyao grinned happily!

Very good! Very successful!

Who says the ancients weren't smart? They just didn't have the technology. If you tell them how to do something, they can do it better than modern people!

In this era, the status of craftsmen is very low, second only to military households, and their lives are extremely difficult.

There is now a rule that craftsmen cannot leave the workshop, which means that craftsmen can only work in the workshop for their entire lives under the coercion of the government, and from the father's death to the son's inheritance, the descendants can only be craftsmen from generation to generation.

However, the development of the times is inseparable from the progress of industry, and the position of craftsmen in promoting social progress is unquestionable.

"Master Zhang, please draft a document first. I plan to abolish the craftsman registration system and the system that prevents the descendants of craftsmen from taking the imperial examinations. Let craftsmen get paid or food based on their work points like ordinary people."

Xie Yiyao pondered for a while and then spoke decisively.

This society has naturally divided people into different classes. Craftsmen are skilled workers who should be respected in any era, not trampled upon.

"This, this, this... This won't do. Craftsmen are of low status, how can they take the imperial examination? Moreover, these lowly people don't need to be given work points, just give them a little food, and they will thank you profusely!"

Zhang Zhongdan objected with a look of shock!

Craftsmen are all lowly slaves. How can lowly slaves be treated like good citizens!

"They are just from a family of craftsmen. They have the same two eyes, one nose and two legs as you. How can they be inferior to you?"

Xie Yiyao was a little unhappy!

She comes from a humble background and hates it most when these high-handed people label people at will!

"But this will anger some of the aristocratic families, which will be extremely detrimental to our future plans!"

Zhang Zhongdan was still a little hesitant. He looked at "Feng Junyi" hoping that the prince would say a few words.

But "Feng Junyi" just replied with an indifferent look:

"Everything is up to the Crown Princess!"

Zhang Zhongdan kept roaring in his heart, the prince was actually so henpecked!

It's such a disgrace to them men!

"You usually get along well with the noble families in Yanjing City, but who among them will stand up to help you during the natural disaster?"

Xie Yiyao asked coldly.

Zhang Zhongdan choked when he heard this.

It seems that no noble family has stepped forward to help the government overcome the difficulties.

They were still living in peace and prosperity, but the common people were still starving to death or freezing to death.

"From now on, the city of Yanjing will be ruled by the capable, not by bloodline or status. If they don't want to, get out of Yanjing!"

Xie Yiyao looked at Zhang Zhongdan and said, the prince has absolute jurisdiction over his own territory, and no one could find anything wrong with what she did.

However, even though she said this, she still knew in her heart that she could not change the existing class system.

However, he still needs to be strong. There is no need for Feng Junyi, a member of the royal family, to take a local noble family into consideration when doing anything.

However, she knew very well that the reason why the aristocratic families were aristocratic families was because of their vision and strategy. Even if she abolished the slave status of the craftsmen, the class would not change much.

Otherwise, at the end of the world, the whole world will be reshuffled, isn’t it the same? Those who were once rich will still be rich at the end of the world, and those who were once poor will still be poor at the end of the world.

The system she implemented could only allow some talented people who were buried by this era to rise.

But she can't help most ordinary people.

Zhang Zhongdan looked at Xie Yiyao with a determined gaze. For some reason, his blood boiled in his heart. He always felt that the times were changing!

"But will the emperor agree?"

Zhang Zhongdan was stunned for a long time and asked Xie Yiyao with some concern.

"Why do you care about what he does? Just say that this is an imperial decree issued by his son. If he wants to punish someone, he should punish the Feng family first. Besides, we are only implementing this system in Yanjing City, not in the capital. Are you afraid of a hammer?"
