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

"The Lunar New Year is coming soon. I originally wanted to discuss this matter, including your application of steel materials to springs, after the Lunar New Year."

"But since you've already thought of one of them yourself."

"Then I'll tell you about the other thing."

Zhu Yunhuan sat behind the dragon desk and spoke calmly.

Qin Kui immediately displayed an expression of awe and attentive listening, then he clasped his hands and licked his lips, saying, "Please command, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is the wise ruler of the world. If Your Majesty commands me, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

I always see that the other person looks like he is doing everything he wants.

Zhu Yunhuan couldn't help laughing.

He secretly complained in his heart, "This guy always speaks the most pleasant words. Who doesn't like to hear good words? No wonder so many emperors throughout history have been fooled into idiots by their ministers' flattery."

Of course, he just thought about it in his mind.

His face was still calm and composed, and he slowly said:

"You don't have to go through fire and water."

"I want you to select a group of qualified personnel from the state-owned weaving bureaus and their subordinate weaving workshops that are currently producing large quantities of cheap fabric."

"You should have those familiar with weaving affairs provide some training to this group of people. After the new year, have them go to the major provinces, prefectures, states, and counties of the Ming Dynasty to promote the use of water-powered spinning machines and flying shuttle looms to ordinary people and the general public."

Zhu Yunhuan stated his request concisely.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon.

Winter will soon pass and spring will come.

Changed the reign title to Zhang.

Zhu Yunhuan wanted to do too many things.

After the new year, it is natural to start considering taking this first step.

"Promote the use of water-powered spinning machines and flying shuttle looms..." Qin Kui frowned in confusion, trembling his lips and glancing around with a flickering look. It was obvious that he wanted to say something but was hesitant.

"What's the difficulty?" Zhu Yunhuan asked.

Qin Kui hesitated for a moment, then put on his armor and said, "Your Majesty is wise and wise, and I am clumsy. I may have said something wrong, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Zhu Yunhuan said: "My dear minister, please speak frankly. I will forgive you."

He also wanted to hear what Qin Kui was thinking.

Qin Kui relaxed considerably, pondering for a moment before carefully bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, I believe... this matter is indeed somewhat inappropriate. The final output quantity of a product is affected by many factors. While water-powered spinning machines and flying shuttle looms can greatly improve production efficiency, the annual production of cotton, raw silk, and other raw materials in the Ming Dynasty is limited."

“As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice.”

"Although the raw materials for this cheap cloth are limited, the resulting material is also crude and cannot be sold at a high price. While it would be effective if the imperial court organized and mass-produced it and then sold it in the winter, if the common people were asked to produce something that could not be sold at a high price, they would certainly not be happy."

"So..."

"Even if we spend a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to popularize these two things... the final results may not be satisfactory."

He was in charge of the Ministry of Industry and was very familiar with the production of cotton silk. He immediately raised his questions in a clear and organized manner.

After saying this, he looked at Zhu Yunhuan with some trepidation.

Zhu Yunhuan tapped the tabletop of the dragon desk lightly with his fingertips, with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth as if he was thinking, and it was obvious that he was listening carefully to Qin Kui's words.

After Qin Kui finished speaking, Zhu Yunhuan raised his eyes and smiled faintly, saying, "I didn't ask you to produce any results in the first place, nor did I say that the people should immediately use water-powered spinning machines and flying shuttle looms."

"Ah?" Qin Kui was stunned again by Zhu Yunhuan.

Do you think this makes sense?

A huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources were spent on training personnel, and the workers traveled extensively to various provinces, prefectures, states and counties to carry out publicity.

If you don't want results, what do you want? To satisfy the desire of the people of the world to eat melons?
