However, looking at Zhou Changmin’s character, he probably wouldn’t let go of this black gauze hat!
Therefore, Lin Xu did not make this suggestion to avoid causing trouble!
After a while, Zhou Changmin continued: "I am going to truthfully explain the situation in Jiangsu to the court. I hope the court can sympathize with the people of Jiangsu and suspend or gradually implement the policy of changing rice to mulberry, and do not act too hastily!"
"What your lord said is true!"
Lin Xu nodded and agreed.
However, he was secretly wondering, since you already have a way to deal with it, why did you call me over in a hurry? It can't be just for a casual chat, right?
Or does Zhou Changmin have other intentions?
Sure enough, Zhou Changmin continued: "Now that the imperial court has decided this matter, it is not easy to mediate it! However, for the sake of the people of Jiangsu, I am willing to risk my life!"
"Sir, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
Zhou Kui interrupted.
"But it doesn't matter!"
Zhou Changmin raised his hand.
"For the sake of the common people, if you tell the truth to the court, you will definitely take a huge risk! Moreover, the court may not accept your opinion. If not, you will be slapped with a hat of 'disobedience'.
hat!"
"Well, what are your countermeasures?"
"I feel that when you make a truthful representation to the court, you should not just talk about the difficulties here, but also take some practical actions! For example, as Mr. Lin said, it is recommended that all the hills here be planted with mulberry seedlings.
This will not affect the people's food rations, but also promote mulberry planting; another example..."
Having said this, Zhou Kui paused, turned his gaze to Lin Xu, and smiled slightly: "Mr. Lin, I heard that you have a new spinning wheel that can hold sixteen spindles. The working efficiency of this spinning wheel is far higher than that of the old spinning wheel."
Spinning wheel! I would like to ask if you can contribute this new type of spinning wheel?"
"If my master brings this new type of spinning wheel to the court to express his feelings, he can convince the court that my master did not disobey the court's orders. He is indeed considering the actual situation in Jiangsu to find ways to advance this matter!"
"In this way, the people of Jiangsu will have a way to survive!"
"At that time, the entire people of Jiangsu will be grateful for the kindness of my father and you, Mr. Lin!"
Zhou Kui went through the whole show, and after saying these quite sensational words, he stood up and bowed solemnly to Lin Xu.
Zhou Changmin looked at Lin Xu with burning eyes, waiting for his reply!
At this moment, Lin Xu finally understood!
This late at night, Zhou Changmin hurriedly called him here and sang the double act with Zhou Kui for a long time. It turned out that he was tricking himself into spinning the wheel!
He couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. If you want a spinning wheel, just say so directly. It's not like I won't give it to you, so why go through such a big circle?
However, he thought about it and understood it again.
In my own opinion, this kind of spinning wheel that can install sixteen spindles is nothing, but in the eyes of others, it is absolutely priceless!
Because the current spinning wheels only have one spindle, and they have to be powered by a hand wheel, which is inefficient and labor-intensive!
And his new spinning wheel has sixteen spindles, and it can also be powered by feet, completely liberating his hands. He even designed a spinning wheel that uses animals and even waterwheels to power it, which can be said to be epoch-making.
revolutionary product!
Zhou Changmin must have felt that he would not be willing to hand over this new type of spinning wheel, so he had to talk about it in such a roundabout way!
Thinking of this, Lin Xu couldn't help but smile secretly. Zhou Changmin had good intentions! This chapter has been completed!
