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

Zhu Yunhuan raised his hand and said, "Get up and answer."

Qin Kui's face became even more excited. He slowly stood up and said excitedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After calming down for a moment, he spoke again and asked, "I am a humble official, but I wonder what arrangements Your Majesty has for these brick ovens?"

Zhu Yunhuan thought for a moment and said, "I guess... it will be needed in the spring of next year. I will summon you then."

It is naturally a good thing that the first step of the brick furnace has been implemented.

However, there was a reason why Zhu Yunhuan had forgotten about this matter before - he did not have enough people under his command at the moment!

To burn refractory materials, a large amount of high-alumina bauxite is needed.

However, the use of high-alumina bauxite was completely undeveloped in this era. Unlike iron mines, copper mines, coal mines, etc., some records were included in the imperial court's registers, so you can just look for them directly.

The exploration, search and mining of high-alumina bauxite all require sufficient manpower.

Now most of the manpower is assigned to mining, coal washing, coal transportation, and coarse cloth transportation.

Therefore, Zhu Yunhuan himself selectively ignored the brick furnace.

Now the raw materials for refractory bricks have not arrived yet, so the matter naturally has to be put on hold for the time being. There are many preliminary preparations for going to sea, and it will not be a matter of one day or one night. It is very urgent and you can't get fat in one bite.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand." Qin Kui almost flattered the emperor again, but fortunately, Your Majesty did not care. Now of course, he did not dare to make rash advances and make guesses or ask questions.

He had a lot of contact with Zhu Yunhuan and understood deeply that this emperor, who was known as a "tyrant" in the outside world, was by no means easy to deal with.

Zhu Yunhuan nodded with satisfaction.

He glanced at the slightly bleak sky outside the window and took the initiative to ask, "How is the coarse cloth produced by the Ministry of Industry and its distribution?" Obviously, this matter is more important at the moment.

Qin Kui immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is exactly the second thing I want to say to you."

"We just received the news from the north this morning."

"According to His Majesty's instructions, the first batch of coarse cloth produced was shipped first to the northernmost provinces, prefectures, states, and counties. The letter mentioned that the first batch had already arrived in Cangzhou. Taking into account the time it took for this news to arrive, the first batch of cloth had already been shipped north from Cangzhou for some time."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I believe the first batch of fabrics will be delivered to the northernmost areas of Daning and Guangning within ten days."

"Your Majesty has blessed all people of the world with grace and cares for the people. You are a true king and father. On behalf of the people of the world, I, your humble servant, would like to thank Your Majesty for your great grace!"

After Qin Kui reported the situation, he still did not forget to make some progress.

Of course, although these words were meant to respond and please, the voice was more earnest and sincere.

He invented the flying shuttle and improved the loom, which showed that he had been working tirelessly to help the people of the world survive the winter. How could he not be considered a true king and father?

Hearing Qin Kui's words, Zhu Yunhuan couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

News had been received earlier that the first snow had fallen in the north, and Zhu Yunhuan still felt a little worried - given the material conditions of that era, snowfall meant that people were about to die.

For many things, thinking about them is one thing, but doing and implementing them is not so easy.

Fortunately, we are catching up.

The coarse cloth is finally almost in place.

He nodded with satisfaction and said affirmatively: "You did a good job on this matter, and you also have a share of the credit."

Qin Kui immediately looked flattered.

Although he was delighted, he pretended to be humble and declined, "I dare not. It was Your Majesty who was so wise and intelligent. He came up with the idea of ​​using springs to improve the shuttle and the loom. He planned and arranged it in advance. I was just doing things according to Your Majesty's wishes. How dare I claim any credit?"
