There was sudden silence in the meeting hall! The status of craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty was the lowest in history! Zhu Yuanzhang designated craftsmen as craftsmen from the beginning, and his descendants were all craftsmen. There was no chance of becoming an official! In fact, he had already

He is a member of the lower class! How could these high-ranking scholars want lowly craftsmen to be on an equal footing with them, or even be appointed?

Seeing that everyone was unwilling to spit for a long time, Hua Houwei felt sad in his heart. "Sir, is the status of a scholar that important? Sweeping the world with a strong country and a wealthy people is no better than sitting in a well and looking at the sky? An emperor in an ant's nest is really better than a rabbit's nest.

The butler here?"

Hongzhi looked at the ministers and felt disappointed. But he still had to rely on them to govern the world, so he had no choice but to wrong Hua Houwei. He slapped the table: "Stop! Huangkou boy, what do you know? Get out of here!"

Xu Pu sighed and stopped Hongzhi's attack: "Your Majesty, calm down your anger for now. What Your Highness said is true, and I feel ashamed! Your Highness, it is unreasonable to do such a thing, do you understand?"

Hua Houwei was also angry and shook his head stubbornly: "I don't understand! Grandpa Xu, if you have an incorrect name, your words will not be correct. If you want to change the bad habits that have lasted for thousands of years, how can you be timid and timid? The craftsmen are originally lacking in courage and lack of righteousness.

Support, how can we change this situation?"

Li Dongyang looked at Hua Houwei and spoke slowly: "Your Highness, we all know your heart. But who doesn't want the Ming Dynasty to be able to conquer He Qing Haiyan overnight? Don't want the Ming Dynasty to sweep all the countries in the world and come to court? Alas, people's hearts!

With so many different minds, how can we, the billions of people in the Ming Dynasty, be able to become one in a short time?"

"Yes, Your Highness, why is it that running a big country is like cooking a small one? Not only does the effect of a policy take a long time to show; there is also the problem of people's hearts being different and unable to solve it. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are not formed in one day, how many

Our ancestors, how many princes, generals and ministers, are their intelligence inferior to mine?" Liu Jian also did not agree with Hua Houwei's opinion and persuaded him with sincerity.

Hongzhi knew that what the elders said was the truth, and Hua Houwei was a little radical. So he also persuaded him: "Wei'er, things can't be done in one day. Such a big thing can't be completed in less than thirty or fifty years."

Can we do it? Let’s talk about other issues first!”

Hua Houwei remained silent, turned around and walked out of the meeting hall. Hongzhi opened his mouth to shout, but Xu Pu shook his head: "Your Majesty, although His Highness is an unprecedented talent, he is too young after all and does not understand the ways of the world. Alas, you are an old man.

I also wish I could wipe out all the filth in the world, is it possible to do it? It’s better to let His Highness calm down, growth takes time! I’m just afraid that I won’t see His Highness who is making a comeback and working hard!”

Hua Houwei left the meeting hall and saw Xu Deqiang standing upright outside. He waved his hand: "Old Xu, what's missing from that thing?"

"Your Highness, the lathe of the Silver Manufacturing Bureau has not been built yet, so many processes cannot be carried out!"

Hua Houwei stopped and looked at the blast furnace, feeling angry and shouting: "Ah! A bunch of idiots! I wish Shanqing!"

Zhu Shanqing ran over: "The little one is here."

"Let's go to the bank with me!"

The Yinzuo Bureau knew that Hua Houwei had been involved in a military battle, and when he saw this young master coming, he was extremely attentive. The leader, the eunuch Wang Zhide, ran over and greeted Hua Houwei first: "Here you go, little one."

Your Highness is here to greet you. Your Highness, aren't you at the military battle station today? Why did you come to this small temple?"

"I'm here to check on the progress of the lathe. I heard that someone was acting against the will?" Hua Houwei was in a very unhappy mood, and of course he didn't look good.

Wang Zhide's heart tightened. The young master was unhappy and was in danger. He immediately explained desperately: "Your Highness, the Queen has issued an edict. The prince will be crowned soon. The tasks in our bureau are heavy and we really can't spare too many manpower."

"Hmph! Stop fooling me! Show me, you haven't moved at all, right?"

"How can you? Your Highness is also a young master, and you don't dare to fool me. Your Highness, please come this way."

Hua Houwei suddenly saw a craftsman passing by polishing crystal, and a thought came to him: "Wait a minute, who is that, oh, Lao Wang, tsk, why does it sound a bit awkward to shout?"

Wang Zhide looked at Hua Houwei with a wry smile: "Your Highness, as long as you are happy!"

"Old Wang, do you want to be promoted and make a fortune?"

"Think about it! Even in my dreams! Your Highness, what do you think?"

Zhu Shanqing snorted: "Old Wang, Xu Deqiang has fallen into His Highness's eyes. How lucky are you seeing today? Is it rare to be successful in the future? Why are you so stupid?"

Wang Zhide was so moved that he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, please teach me!"

"Get up! Don't be spineless, young master. Well, this is right! I'm telling you, forget it, bring me some paper."

After entering the workshop, Hua Houwei sat at the table, took out a small pencil, and began to draw on the paper: "I tell you, make two prisms, crystal ones, polish them brightly. Then make two convex lenses, two

Concave lenses. Um, oh, make a few more. Then make a frame like this and put these in. Hum! Get promoted and make a fortune? With this, my dad will definitely make you rise to the top! Oh, keep it secret, the craftsmen are not allowed to go out. Do it

Okay, give it to me right away! Uh, tonight, no, give it to me tomorrow. Huh, a bunch of fools, let them know how wonderful the world is!"

Wang Zhide didn't understand it at all, but he knew it was a great achievement. He put the drawings away solemnly and patted his chest: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely send it to you tomorrow!"

"Well, okay, I won't look at the lathe. I'm not in the mood! Remember, the lathe is much more important than this. Lao Wang, hurry up and get it out. That thing is more profitable than the gold mountain in your dream. Oh, glass,

Forget it, I’m not in the mood! Let’s go. Remember, tomorrow!”

After walking out of the bank, Hua Houwei was at a loss as to where he was going. He simply turned around and asked, "Zhu Shanqing, I hear you are very brave?"

Zhu Shanqing chuckled: "My godfather has told me so many times, but I still can't change it."

"Oh? What did he say about you?"

"act recklessly!"

Hua Houwei laughed loudly and laughed for a while, then his expression gradually became depressed: "Oh, Shan Qing, I know you are also making me happy, but how can I be happy? Come on, take me out of the palace!"

Zhu Shanqing lived up to his nickname of "Lun Tou Qing". He didn't ask where Hua Houwei was going. He followed Hua Houwei to a secluded place. He first stepped on the palace wall during a run-up and jumped out. Then he hung an upside-down golden hook and grabbed it with both hands.

Hua Houwei used all his strength and the two of them flew out of the palace wall.

After arranging his clothes, Hua Houwei looked at the scenery outside and said lightly: "Let's go to my master's house to find my senior brother!"

Wang Yangming was studying at home. After hearing the report from the concierge, he hurriedly welcomed him out. "Dian, oh, why are you here?"
