of course.

With so many civil and military officials in the court, there are always some who are well-informed, or who have heard of the news but have not paid much attention to it.

"I remember now. I heard last night that some county in Shanxi was selling some kind of cloth, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Cheap? How cheap?"

"Oh! There's not just one county? There are several! I heard about it yesterday and made some careful inquiries. As for how cheap it is, it's only a dozen or even dozens of copper coins! Do you think this is a reasonable price for cloth?"

"But I just heard what Master Zhan said..."

"It seems like there are far more than just a few counties! Lord Zhan just said that many provinces, prefectures, states, and counties in the north are selling large quantities of this cheap fabric!"

"I see, I see! I was wondering why Your Majesty suddenly mentioned something about spinning machines and looms, but it turns out you were actually talking about this!"

"..."

The three chiefs of the Six Departments have gone crazy.

Of course, don't expect other court officials to remain calm, especially in the face of something that can be called a "miracle."

All of a sudden.

The entire Fengtian Hall was filled with noisy discussions. Many court officials were either exchanging or inquiring about the news related to this matter. As the matter fermented in the Fengtian Hall, the discussions became louder and louder. The Fengtian Hall was almost like a vegetable market, making people forget that they were holding court.

Seeing that a group of court officials were eating melons like ordinary people, Qin Kui couldn't stand it anymore.

He stood up.

He shouted loudly, "My dear colleagues!!! And Master Zhan, Master Fu... In fact, what you know is only one tenth of the actual situation!"

At this time, everyone was waiting to see what happened, and it was obvious that Qin Kui, as one of the people involved in this matter, had first-hand information.

So, I heard what he said.

The noise in the Fengtian Hall receded like a tide, and it suddenly became quiet. Everyone turned to look at Qin Kui.

Qin Kui narrowed his eyes and his lower eyelid trembled slightly.

He took a deep breath and mustered all his strength, then said, "Actually, the sales area for this cheap cloth isn't just one county, a few counties, or a few state capitals as you know, but all provinces, capitals, states, and counties throughout the North! Every single one!"

There was a slight tremor in his voice and his eyes were red with excitement.

After all, he was the one who personally participated in this "miracle".

more importantly.

At the same time, he was looking at the young man sitting in the highest position in Fengtian Hall, and seeing the person who created this "miracle" with his own hands being misunderstood and abused.

Those who hold salaries for everyone must not freeze them to death in the wind and snow.

As a scholar and as an official.

At this moment, Qin Kui was a little unable to calm down.

After saying this, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Yunhuan, and then said with a firm gaze: "And all of this is the intention and arrangement of Your Majesty! My Lords! Amidst your discussions and shock, please don't forget this point!"

Speaking of it.

There was a barely perceptible choke in Qin Kui's voice.

"It's rare to achieve both. While this action will greatly protect the poor and needy, it will ultimately rob the people of Yingtian Prefecture. If we publicize it from the outset, things will inevitably go awry. People in this world worry not about scarcity but about inequality. It would be better to use Your Majesty's reputation to accomplish this."

"And in the past two months, Your Majesty has endured countless insults and injustices from you all!"

"To be honest, even I, Qin Kui, feel uncomfortable after hearing this. How about Your Majesty, who has to endure all these insults from you?"

Having said that, Qin Kui paused, turned around and glanced at everyone. His expression was filled with genuine heartache. He also did not forget that His Majesty, who had endured all this, was actually just a child of fourteen or fifteen years old.

But these people, these people who advise and criticize in the court every day.

At this moment, he was only busy gathering information.

Completely forgot about this!

Qin Kui, who was already filled with righteous indignation due to being suppressed for a long time, how could he hold back from saying a few words at this moment?

After a moment's silence, his eyes grew stern as he spoke, "Indeed! Your Majesty enjoys unusual and cunning techniques. Sometimes, as you say, he does act recklessly and do absurd things. It is precisely because of your Majesty's use of these unusual and cunning techniques that he was able to discover this method by chance."

Admittedly, Qin Kui had been involved in this matter for more than two months, and in fact he knew to some extent that Zhu Yunhuan's invention of the water-powered spinning machine was not a coincidence, but something he had been planning for a long time!

Even the original intention of asking Wang Yingxin and his clan to establish the Industrial Department was to develop this water-powered spinning machine!

However, this "coincidence" was what His Majesty said. He certainly understood what he could and could not say. It must be said that Qin Kui was very perceptive as he was appreciated step by step by Zhu Yunhuan.

Of course, this did not stop Qin Kui from continuing to curse in court:

"Aren't you worried about the Ming Dynasty every day? Aren't you worried about the people of the Ming Dynasty every day? And for that reason, you'd frequently bring up those harsh insults that Your Majesty shouldn't have to bear in Fengtian Hall. Why? Now you're silent?"

"Now, are the people of the Ming Dynasty better off? Does the Ming Dynasty have a future? How come you all have forgotten what you said before?"

"Winter is getting colder every year. Every time winter comes, countless people freeze to death in the wind and snow because they have no clothes to cover their bodies or their heads. In previous years, the late emperor was worried, and so were we. But does anyone have any effective solution?"

"Ginseng? Still ginseng?"
