Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

"What? Is my proposal not good enough? Why are you, my dear ministers, evasive and hesitant? Don't you want the people of the Ming Dynasty to live in peace?"

Zhu Yunhuan had a calm and composed smile on his face. He glanced at everyone and asked sarcastically, knowing the answer but still asking. Although his tone was a little sarcastic, the charge was not a light one.

Several people immediately distanced themselves from the matter and tried to exonerate themselves:

"Your Majesty, your words are too kind. As an official appointed by the court, I must be loyal to my superiors and fulfill my duties to my subjects. Striving to ensure the well-being of the people is a responsibility that I cannot shirk."

"Exactly! If the people of the world can truly live in peace and contentment, even death will be enough for me!"

"It's just...just..."

Of course, no one dared to say that Zhu Yunhuan's proposal was not good enough, let alone say that he "did not want the people of the Ming Dynasty to live in peace." However, they did not dare to easily agree with Zhu Yunhuan's words about "letting the people wear good clothes and live in good houses."

Just those empty words, can't you use your head to do anything?

So in the end.

I can only look terrified.

At this moment, Qin Kui, the Minister of Works who had been quietly among the others, stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I believe... we should start increasing the production of cotton, linen, silkworms, and other textile materials. Clothes are mostly made from these materials. If we can produce more cotton, linen, silkworms, and other materials, the people of the Ming Dynasty will have more fabrics to make clothes."

After saying this, Qin Kui raised his head calmly, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet.

As the Minister of Works, he has been responsible for the production and supply of cheap fabrics since last year. At the end of last year... Zhu Yunhuan even specially arranged for his Ministry of Works to send personnel to various provinces, prefectures, states, and counties in the Ming Dynasty to popularize water-powered spinning machines and flying shuttle looms.

As Zhu Yunhuan's only loyal minister, he had a good understanding of Zhu Yunhuan.

He knew too well how patient, resolute and patient his master was. For such a person, whenever he did anything costly, his primary purpose would never be simply to publicize his own achievements and sing his own praises.

So even if Qin Kui didn't understand.

He has always been doing things according to Zhu Yunhuan's instructions.

Until recently.

Zhu Yunhuan's earth-shattering announcement of the auspicious existence of sweet potatoes, coupled with the fact that Wang Yingxin, the head of the Industrial Department and now also the head of the Agricultural Department, had been constantly on the move...

The question that Qin Kui had been pondering for so long, but to no avail... finally seemed to have a faint answer...

"His Majesty... seems to be planning to expand the production of cotton, linen, silkworms, and other textiles throughout the Ming Dynasty!"

Even though Qin Kui didn't dare to be 100% sure of this conclusion, he was at least 80% to 90% sure.

And today's parliament rarely called Wang Yingxin...

What the emperor, who was sitting on the Diaoyutai behind the dragon desk, wanted to do was obvious.

So this time, Qin Kui stood up.

As a person who has countless experiences of flattering others and hitting the horse's leg, Qin Kui is no longer the ignorant and blindly progressive Minister of Works at the beginning.

As soon as Qin Kui said this.

Zhan Hui, Fu Youwen and Yuan Tai all frowned immediately.

He retorted out loud:

"Master Qin, what you're saying is very strange. It's simple... how do you increase the production of raw materials like cotton, linen, and silkworms? Do you have a plan?"

"That's right! These are all good things, are you going to make them out of thin air?"

"..."

They are not like Qin Kui.

He was highly involved in this matter and was a trusted confidant of Zhu Yunhuan...It had only been a short time since the sweet potato was made public, and he was probably still immersed in the ecstasy and excitement at the time, so of course he couldn't react so quickly.
