Chapter 342: The sick and weak emperor [06]
Jin Wangfu.
Jiang Yin was looking at the ledger, taking care of the business that Lin Zhixuan handed her.
A maid in green clothes walked in with a few pieces of silk and satin: "Madam, this is the silk and satin that was newly delivered today. The color is bright, and I just happened to make some new clothes."
Jiang Yin looked at the silk and satin with unpredictable eyes, put down the account book in her hand, and nodded slightly: "Let it go, Madam Ben will check the account and then look at it, you should leave first."
The maid put a few pieces of silk and satin on the table beside it, and then bowed respectfully and withdrew: "This servant is retiring."
When Jiang Yin was alone in the room, she couldn't sit still. She quickly went to the table and picked up the silk satin in the middle, unfolded it, reached out and touched it. I opened a secret bag from here, took out a very thin and very thin piece of paper, unfolded it, and it was full of tiny words.
After reading it, Jiang Yin burned the piece of paper, and then removed the hidden pocket sewn into the cloth and burned it together. After making sure that no traces were left, she cut the silk satin piece by piece. Yes, as a material for embroidering your handkerchief and purse.
Jiang Yin did not move the remaining few normal silks and satins, and summoned the maid to take the silks and satins to make some new clothes, all of which were used up.
It's winter now, but it hasn't snowed yet, and the temperature is getting lower and lower.
When Lin Zhixuan came to accompany Jiang Yin to eat hot pot, Jiang Yin was grumpy beside him and complained, "Brother Zhixuan, it's too cold today, and burning charcoal makes me feel flustered, even smokeless charcoal is not as good as a piece of charcoal. Warm clothes are comfortable. Unfortunately, the fur coat is thick and heavy, and it looks too bulky to wear... It would be nice to have light and warm clothes. Also, the quilt is not warm enough, and the kapok stuffed in the quilt collapses when pressed... "
Listening to Jiang Yin's complaints, Lin Zhixuan naturally thought of down jackets and cotton.
Lightweight and warm clothes are considered down jackets, and the kapok filled in the quilt is not warm enough, so why not fill it with cotton?
After Lin Zhixuan thought about it, Jiang Yin patted his chest and promised, "I promise to solve these little troubles for you."
Jiang Yin hooked her lips in satisfaction, and smiled sweetly: "Then thank you brother Zhixuan!" She looked at Lin Zhixuan with admiration, and Lin Zhixuan fluttered, "I knew that brother Zhixuan was the most powerful, what? It won't bother you."
Lin Zhixuan received the praise and admiration of the beauty, and immediately sent people to look for duck down and goose down in the cold winter, and went everywhere to look for news of cotton.
Cotton is not so easy to find, but duck down and goose down are easy to get. Lin Zhixuan soon fiddled with down jackets, and directly matched two down jackets to the women in his backyard.
As soon as Lin Zhixuan achieved results, Yuan Jia sent someone to copy it directly.
So down jackets quickly became popular in Beijing, and then spread from Beijing to all parts of the country.
Duck down and goose down used to be useless and used as a kind of fire. Now it is found that duck down and goose down can keep warm, so many people who raise ducks, geese and even chickens have started to accumulate down to make down jackets.
Even if the down is not enough to make a piece of clothing, it can also be used as shoes, gloves or a small vest...
By the time Lin Zhixuan reacted, down products were already being sold everywhere.
Lin Zhixuan: "...qaq"
＜＜＜＜＜＜
Lin Zhixuan had no one available in his hands. The people he sent to find cotton were naturally not as efficient as those sent by Yuanjia. After Yuanjia's people found the cotton, they walked around Lin Zhixuan and sent it to Yuanjia's imperial front.
Lin Zhixuan foolishly thought that the cotton was found by someone he sent. He just got the cotton and wanted to plant a batch of seeds to supply it to the King of Jin's mansion, when the guards in his mansion took the cotton to the emperor to present a treasure.
Yuan Jia generously rewarded the guard with a large reward, and even promoted his position, transferring people from the Jin Palace to the Imperial Forest Army.
Lin Zhixuan was so angry that he went to Yuan Jia to plead his grievance: "Brother Huang, I clearly found this cotton, and it is the credit of this servant's guard pretending to be a minister."
Yuan Jia looked at the angry Lin Zhixuan and said with a smile, "Brother Huang, don't talk nonsense, you have been staying in the capital and never left. How can you find this cotton? Don't you have the ability to clone yourself?"
Lin Zhixuan was stunned on the spot, and he said loudly: "This, this cotton was sent by me to find it. Although I didn't go there in person, I sent someone to find it..."
The guard who took the credit said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this thing was found by Wei Chen and his colleagues who traveled through mountains and rivers to find it hard. Although Wei Chen finally found the cotton, but Wei Chen and his colleagues had no credit or hard work. , As for the King of Jin just sitting in the palace and talking about it, he can actually grab the power?"
Among the people Yuan Jia sent out to find cotton, it was indeed the guard who finally found cotton. Naturally, Yuan Jia couldn't treat the hero badly, so he simply asked the guard to send cotton to Lin Zhixuan for a while, and then took the cotton as a reward.
From the guard's point of view, it was the emperor who really ordered them to search for cotton, and it was him and his colleagues who really acted to find cotton. What's the matter with Guan Lin Zhixuan?
Although he didn't understand why the emperor asked him to bring cotton to the King of Jin, pretending that they were ordered by King Jin to find cotton, but he didn't feel that he took the credit for taking the credit of King Jin. .
The guard was quite righteous, but Lin Zhixuan felt a little guilty.
He is not a real ancient person, and he is not used to grabbing credit from his servants. He thought that the matter of looking for cotton was indeed searched by these guards who traveled through mountains and rivers to find it. He just stayed in the gentle village of the Wangfu and moved his lips comfortably. It seemed a bit inappropriate to take all the credit.
Lin Zhixuan felt guilty, so he didn't argue with the guards.
Yuan Jia ignored him and continued to reward the deserving guards.
After the award was finished, Yuan Jia looked at the white cotton wrapped in the leaf shell in the flower pot, and said with relief, "With this thing, my people don't have to be afraid of the cold anymore."
He handed over the cotton to the person in charge of Huangzhuang for planting and breeding, and he must promote it as soon as possible, so that everyone in the world can have cotton-padded clothes to wear and quilts to cover as soon as possible.
Lin Zhixuan didn't steal the guards from his own mansion for taking credit, so he could only watch the 'traitor guard' ascend to the Imperial Forest Army. "Why is this king so unlucky..."
The formula of what he 'invented' was leaked in almost no time, and he finally found a treasure cotton to keep out the cold.
He really 'invented' a bunch of loneliness.
Mei Qinger listened to Lin Zhixuan's complaints quietly, and Mei Qinger, who originally wanted to comfort him, became more and more frightened.
Her senses were very keen. After hearing what Lin Zhixuan said, she felt that there seemed to be a secret force watching Lin Zhixuan's every move. No matter what achievements he made, it would soon be leaked out...
Someone is suppressing King Jin!
Mei Qinger didn't know who was suppressing King Jin, but she knew that King Jin had a noble status, and the only person in the world who dared to suppress King Jin was the one in the imperial palace.
Mei Qing'er's heart was icy cold, and when she looked at Lin Zhixuan's ignorant appearance, she felt even more icy cold.
＜＜＜＜＜＜
Yuan Jia did not reveal that he was also a transmigrator, so he regarded Lin Zhixuan, a transmigrator, as a tool for picking wool.
But of course, as a tool person, he can't steal the prestige and limelight, so Yuan Jia deliberately downplayed Lin Zhixuan's influence.
When glass is developed, if the price is expensive and the quantity is scarce, some people will naturally investigate who made the glass to see if they can rush to buy it or buy the formula directly.
When glass is low in price and large in quantity, and becomes a commodity that can be seen everywhere, except for a few conscientious people, who will pay attention to the glass production method that was researched by whoever.
Most people are not interested in hens that lay eggs when they eat eggs, and a few who are interested find out that 'hen' is the 'hen' of the imperial court, and the emperor wants to block the relevant information about 'hen' Information, these people will naturally be sensible and do not know what to do.
As with glass, so with everything else.
After Yuanjia planted a large amount of cotton in Huangzhuang, he directly ordered the expansion of cotton planting. The courtiers would only be surprised and happy with such things to keep out the cold. Who, who cares.
When Lin Zhixuan felt resentful in his heart, he forgot that this was a feudal dynasty where imperial power was paramount, and the increase in grain production in a certain place would be regarded as the emperor's merit.
Yuan Jia deliberately suppressed Lin Zhixuan's influence, and naturally no one would be so foolish as to push Lin Zhixuan out to be set on fire.
No, there might be someone who would like to do it.
This is the Queen Mother Zhang who wanted to **** off the eldest son and push the youngest son to the top.
She wanted her youngest son Lin Zhixuan to be the emperor almost crazy.
When Lin Zhixuan visited the Empress Dowager Zhang in the palace, he inadvertently complained a few words. Empress Dowager Zhang learned that Lin Zhixuan had developed glass, discovered cotton, and made down jackets and other items, but his credit was greatly reduced, and he was immediately angry. Said: "The emperor is so outrageous, how can he treat the hero so lightly? Mammy Wang, go and call the emperor to the Aijia, but the Aijia has to ask the emperor, what is going on!"
Madam Wang was startled, and the Queen Mother Zhang's tone seemed to question the emperor.
But the empress dowager doesn't think about their current situation. The palace staff of Cining Palace can't even get out of the palace gate. The empress dowager still wants to trouble the emperor, doesn't it make the emperor feel that they are an eyesore?
But Empress Dowager Zhang's temper came up, and she looked at Mammy Wang with cold eyes, and she didn't dare to say the words of Mammy Wang's admonition.
"The slaves obey, the slaves will go."
Mammy Wang tremblingly went to the imperial study room to invite Yuan Jia.
