Live as the emperor

Chapter 38
As the wood collides with each other, the flying shuttle is like a fish in the water, wandering among countless cotton threads.Dozens of machines are running at the same time. This scene is so incredible in this era.

In this era, everything is inferior, only reading is high.

In this era, scholars, farmers, businessmen.

In this era, spiritual needs are greater than material needs.

Therefore, some people are so full of energy that they are almost overflowing.

Therefore, some people are hungry and skinny.

Chen Guang felt that this was all a disease.Confucius said in the "Book of Rites" that "eating men and women, people's great desires exist." It is indeed Confucius' view of life-metaphysical, not metaphysical.All human life is inseparable from two major things: food, men and women.One is the problem of food and clothing, and the other is the problem of sex.Therefore, even the sage Confucius felt that food is the most important thing for the people. Compared with the construction of spiritual civilization, the problem of food should be solved first.

Even if you think about sex, it’s still after you’re warm and full.

So Chen Guang intends to reverse this situation. Marxism-Leninism still says that economy is the foundation and politics is the superstructure.Chen Guang felt that when he couldn't eat enough, any spiritual civilization construction was nonsense. Han Han said that all the rules were pastime after eating and drinking, which probably meant the same.

As a person in power, the first thing to bear the brunt should be to let everyone have a meal, instead of talking about morality on an empty stomach.

So as a top priority, Chen Guang wants to promote this light industry, at least let capitalism sprout or something.During the Ming Dynasty, capitalism began to sprout, but in the powerful feudal system, this sprout was eventually strangled to death.

They may think that everyone is working and who will farm the land?After all, where do you get food when no one farms the land?
So this limits the development of industry and commerce.

But Chen Guang does not consider these. This is a complete set of reform plans that need to be implemented step by step. Now all he can do is to run the Hope Project well and use it as a demonstration point to let everyone see the difference between large-scale light industry and family handicraft workshops. .

The ancient light industry was basically in the form of family workshops.

In the factory, the multi-spindle spinning machines are all in operation, and all the workers working in front of these spinning machines are women. These women have smiles on their faces and look full of energy.

But in another factory building, there are a group of men. Although spring has just started, they are working in full swing with their shirts off.They are making spinning machines.This spinning machine is not big, and more than 100 machines can be placed in one workshop. Although it has been in production for more than half a month, this multi-spindle spinning machine is still in a state of "supply exceeds demand".

On this day, Chen Guang woke up very early, the snow outside had melted, and the weeds had begun to grow.A red sun rises in the east, and the wind blows on the body, making people feel very comfortable.

Chen Guang has a very important thing to do today, which is to buy a shop to sell products made by spinning machines.However, due to his status, he couldn't do this in person, he could only let the servants in Prince Jin's mansion do it.

Sometimes Chen Guang felt that the prince's status was really good, and he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking.But sometimes he feels that the status of this prince is like a shackle on him, and he can't do many things, which is quite aggrieved.

After buying a large shop, Chen Guang went around and was satisfied. Then he went to the Hope Project to check the progress of the factory.Before entering the factory building, you can hear the sound of the spinning machine from outside. This sound is really beautiful, and it is the sound of modernization.

Pushing open the door of the factory building and entering, the sound was louder, but Chen Guang didn't find it harsh at all.

"His Royal Highness King Jin." Someone hurriedly greeted Chen Guang when they saw him.

Chen Guang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry about me, you are busy with your work, I will just go around."

After walking around the factory, Chen Guang found Yang Rong, who was in his "Project Hope Office" at this time.

"His Highness Prince Jin is here." Chen Guang came in, and Yang Rong hurried up to meet him.

"Well, you feel much more comfortable here than when you were at the house." Chen Guang said with a smile.

But Yang Rong said: "I feel more familiar with it when I was in the mansion. There is actually nothing to do here."

"It's not good to have nothing to do, how easy it is." Chen Guang smiled.You don't have to work and still get paid, this is the treatment of civil servants.

Yang Rong said: "Then I still like to do things, I'm used to it."

Chen Guang scolded with a smile: "Then you are a toiler. Oh, by the way, I have bought a shop to sell the spun yarn. You can make arrangements then."

"Shop?"

"Nonsense, why don't you set up a shop and spin so much yarn every day in the factory? Why don't you sell it and keep it for your son?" Chen Guang pouted.

Yang Rong scratched the back of his head and said with a silly smile, "It seems to be the same."

The two talked for a while. Chen Guang felt that he had not walked around in the Hope Project for a long time. He said to Yang Rong: "Come on, come and walk around with me."

"Ok."

Coming out of the office, the two walked through the path in the middle of the factory and went downstream along the river.This place has not been cultivated yet, and it is still an open space. Now that it is spring, the grass sprouts. Looking around, it is a piece of green, which is really lovely.

"Xiao Rong, sometimes I suddenly feel very tired. What do you think is going on?" Chen Guang said to Yang Rong while walking by the river.

Yang Rong asked strangely: "Why did His Royal Highness King Jin say such a thing?"

Chen Guangdao: "I have many things I want to do, and many ideals I want to realize, but I feel that I live in this square city, and there are only two roads left for me, so I am very tired."

Yang Rong is the first person Chen Guang has met since he traveled, so he has a natural sense of intimacy, so there are some things he can't say to others, but Chen Guang has no scruples in front of Yang Rong.

As for Yang Rong, His Royal Highness King Jin never puts on airs, and is friendly and easy-going, which has allowed him to develop a character that says what he has, and his scruples will be much smaller.

After hearing Chen Guang's words, Yang Rong said: "His Royal Highness Jin, when I was young my mother told me to do things one by one, just like eating a meal one bite at a time. If His Royal Highness Jin feels that there are many times to do it, Then do it one by one, and it will always be done.”

Chen Guang patted Yang Rong's shoulder, sighed, and said, "I think what you said is right, but many things can't wait and must be done right away, but I don't have any idea yet."

What he was talking about was the task given to him by the studio, which was to replace the prince within one year.It has been almost a month now, although Chen Yong has been overcast once, but this is still far from deposing the prince.

However, as a Gongdou idiot, Chen Guang felt that he could not think of any other way to cheat the prince a few more times.This gave him a great headache.It seems that I still have to go back and ask the friends in the live broadcast room.

The two talked for a while, and Chen Guang felt that his depressed mood seemed to have improved a little bit.Sure enough, people still need to communicate.

"Okay, okay. Work hard and help me complete the Hope Project. Remember to sell these things when the time comes." Unknowingly, a morning is about to pass, Chen Guang also had to go back to Jin Wangfu.

Yang Rong agreed, "Okay."

Coming out of the Hope Project, Chen Guang found a girl kneeling on the ground with a grass sign stuck on her head on the road, and a sign in front of her said that she sold her body to bury her father.

Seeing the plots of selling one's body to bury his father on TV, Chen Guang couldn't help complaining about what to do, so he had to come out and sell himself?He didn't collapse until after crossing. In fact, is it true? Apart from selling his body, there is no other way to get the funeral money in a short time.

This girl should be about 20 years old, and she looks very good - no, it should be said to be very beautiful, the kind of innocence without makeup is the type that men like very much.That's the case if you don't dress up, but if you are dressing up, you might look so good.

Chen Guang walked over, intending to give the girl some money, but he didn't intend to buy the girl. It should be possible to give her some money to bury her poor father.

However, at this moment, the sound of hoofbeats came, and when they got close, the man immediately pulled the reins and stopped.Chen Guang looked over there, and found that the person immediately was Chen Yong.

Obviously Chen Yong also found Chen Guang, he smiled and said, "Second brother also fell in love with this woman?"

also?Why did Chen Yong use such a word?Could it be that he has long coveted this woman?

"No, no, I think she is pitiful." Chen Guang quickly denied it.

He felt that now that he had married Min'er as his wife, he should not have any thoughts about other women.Maybe this is ancient times, he is still a prince, and he can't justify his three wives and four concubines, but after all, he has been a modern person for more than 20 years, and his concept may not have been reversed.

"Well, it's quite pitiful, but luckily you met me." Chen Yong laughed, walked forward, and said, "What's your name?"

The woman saw that the man in front of her was dressed gorgeously, so she must be from a wealthy family, so she immediately said, "My little girl's name is Yun Zhaoxun."

"Yun Zhaoxun? Good name. Come home with me." Chen Yong took out a money bag, handed it to Yun Zhaoxun, and then said.

Yun Zhaoxun took the money bag, then tore off the straw label on top of his head, and wished Chen Yong all blessings, saying, "Master."

Chen Guang who was next to him said: "What are you calling master, he is His Royal Highness, you are about to turn around."

As soon as Yun Zhaoxun's face changed, he was about to kneel down immediately, but Chen Yong held her back, not letting her kneel down, and said, "Let's go back first."

Afterwards, Yun Zhaoxun packed his things and followed Chen Yong to the East Palace.Looking at the backs of them leaving, Chen Guang couldn't help shaking his head. He felt that he still couldn't accept this kind of behavior, which was similar to buying and selling people.
