Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

He raised his eyebrows and said in a clear voice, "What ideas and thoughts do you have in mind? If you have any, just say it. You have been taking classes with me for so long, why are you still so timid?"

After all, they have been in the Alchemy Department for quite some time, and they know that Zhu Yunhuan never gets fussy about trivial matters.

and so.

After hearing what Zhu Yunhuan said, everyone's expressions became relieved.

It’s not that difficult anymore.

Someone immediately clasped his fists and said bluntly, "Your Majesty, the current military strength of the Great Ming Dynasty... the capital and the surrounding Zhili provinces, plus the 13 garrisons under the jurisdiction of the Provincial Administration Commissioners... the number of the Great Ming's men and soldiers is innumerable."

"I think... the third-phase production target Your Majesty mentioned is... difficult."

Now they have become accustomed to Zhu Yunhuan's character and know that Zhu Yunhuan has never been a willful dictator. As long as others sincerely consider his interests and give him advice... His Majesty will not only not be angry, but will be happy to see it.

Therefore, even when they pointed out Zhu Yunhuan's "loopholes" at this moment, they did not sound guilty or afraid when speaking about it.

As soon as this was said, others also agreed with it and echoed:

"Your Majesty, I also think this is reasonable."

"Exactly! Emperor Taizu has deployed his military forces throughout the country, and the Ming Dynasty has a strong military. I think it is impossible for them all to get clothes made of flame-retardant cotton."

"..."

They all knew that in such an era of extremely scarce resources and materials, cotton cloth was something that only a few people could afford; and those who came from various major bases knew even more about the large number of troops in the Ming Dynasty - everyone wearing clothes made of flame-retardant cotton, isn't this a joke?

at the same time.

Zhang Yuqing also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly struck while the iron was hot. He explained the whole story to Zhu Yunhuan and said, "I also think that what they said makes sense."

"Cotton... after all, it's not something cheap, and it's certainly not something you can easily obtain in large quantities."

"As for the cheap cloth that Your Majesty used last year to benefit the poor people of the world... its material is rough and has poor adhesion."

"It is not suitable for making flame-retardant cotton at all."

"If you want to mass-produce cotton cloth, you first need to have enough cotton. It's not like cheap cloth that can be made from readily available materials."

"Even if Your Majesty has the water-powered spinning machines of the Industry Department and the numerous flying shuttle looms of the Ministry of Industry... when it comes to producing cotton cloth, even the best cook cannot cook without rice."

"I'm afraid Lord Qin from the Ministry of Works can't provide so much ordinary cotton cloth as raw material."

When he heard the first two indicators issued by Zhu Yunhuan, he thought it was normal and reasonable and should be done - good things should be used once they are created, and they should be used on those who need them most. There is nothing wrong with that!

When Zhang Yuqing heard Zhu Yunhuan's third instruction, he felt uneasy.

This is simply impossible!

Playing with snake skin?

After hearing what everyone said, Zhu Yunhuan naturally knew what they were worried about. He felt relieved, but he didn't take it seriously.

He was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and had the highest authority to know any military secrets. No one knew the exact number of troops of the Ming Dynasty better than him, the emperor. Of course, he knew the number of troops.

He was the one who invented the spinning machine and loom.

No one knows the pros and cons better than him.

But he still dared to propose this third stage goal!

No other reason.

The mass production of cotton cloth does not lack production tools and production efficiency, but only lacks cotton. Cotton requires land to grow, so the output is not high, which makes cotton cloth expensive.

But in Zhu Yunhuan's view...

Lack of land? —Won’t the land be freed up soon?

After a while, sweet potatoes will surely free up a lot of land, right? Besides, Zhu Yunhuan had originally planned to take advantage of this land promotion to thoroughly investigate the land and uncover those hidden private fields.
