    In the imperial palace of the capital, Qianqing Palace, in the huge study room of Emperor Hongzhi.

    The three elders of the cabinet, the British Duke Zhang Mao, the Chengguo Duke Zhu Fu, plus the six ministers, ministers, etc., more than a dozen important ministers of the court gathered together to discuss national affairs as usual.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    However, compared to the rosy complexion of Emperor Hongzhi, the ministers present all looked sad and seemed to be worried.

    "What seems to be the matter with you guys?"

    Hongzhi quickly noticed the strangeness of these people and asked after thinking about it.

    It seems that there is nothing worth worrying about. In the southwestern region, under the reform of the land, the long-unresolved chieftain problem was quickly settled.

    The Tatars in the northern grassland have been severely weakened. Now they don¡¯t even dare to go a hundred miles away from the Great Wall. After the Japanese country in the east was severely punished, the Japanese pirates disappeared completely.

    This year is going well again, the Ming Dynasty is prospering, and there really is nothing worth worrying about.

    Hearing what Emperor Hongzhi said, everyone looked at each other, and finally Liu Jian stood up and said.

    "Your Majesty, have you heard about the soaring price of cotton?"

    "Well, I heard about it and read it in the newspaper."

    Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly and said.

    In his opinion, if the price of cotton rises, let it rise. It is not food. It is summer again. The increase in cotton price will not kill the people. It is an unimportant thing. Anyway, as long as the food does not skyrocket, it will be fine.

    So when he saw the newspaper saying that cotton prices were rising, he didn't pay attention and didn't even ask about it.

    "Your Majesty, the price of cotton has increased several times. It used to be only 150 cash, but now it has risen to 600 cash. However, the cotton on the market is still very tight, and there is no cotton to buy at all."

    Liu Jian thought for a while and explained the current situation in the cotton market.

    "Is there someone behind the scenes who is hoarding cotton and driving up prices?"

    Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while and asked.

    "No, it's because there is really no cotton in the market, and there are too many people who need cotton."

    ¡°There are thousands of textile factories, large and small, in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area, and the amount of cotton consumed every day is very huge. Although my country grows a lot of cotton, it still cannot withstand such a large-scale cotton consumption.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s why cotton prices are soaring now.¡±

    At this time Li Dongyang stood up and added.

    "I see. Rare things are more valuable. Does it have any impact on people's lives?"

    "It's summer now, so it shouldn't affect the people, right?"

    Emperor Hongzhi said as if he suddenly realized something, and then asked again.

    "Your Majesty, there are thousands of large and small textile factories in the Beijing-Tianjin area. The large textile factories employ tens of thousands of people, and the small ones employ dozens of people. After all, there are enough people working in the textile factories here in the Beijing-Tianjin area.  There are hundreds of thousands of people.¡±

    ¡°Now that the price of cotton has soared and cotton is in short supply, the textile factories here in the capital have to suspend operations on a large scale. The hundreds of thousands of people who rely on the textile factories for a living suddenly have nothing to rely on.¡±

    "I and others are worried about this matter right now. The lives of hundreds of thousands of people are no small matter."

    Liu Jian told the story very seriously, with a sad look on his face.

    ¡°There are hundreds of thousands of people who rely on textile factories to survive?¡±

    When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he was immediately shocked.

    I didn¡¯t think there was any big problem at first, but now when I heard it, I immediately knew the seriousness of the matter.

    Hundreds of thousands of people rely on textile factories for their livelihood. Once the textile factory stops working, they will have no support for their lives, and this will definitely cause problems.

    It¡¯s a major event affecting hundreds of thousands of people. No wonder everyone is worried.

    Of course, Emperor Hongzhi didn¡¯t know that in fact, everyone was not only worried about this, but also worried that their investment would be in vain.

    ??The Generals and Honors Group invested in various transactions from the beginning. They made money and have strong capital, so they can afford these losses.

    They, the civil servants, were late to the game and invested relatively late. Therefore, in the textile industry, the investment of civil servant groups was limited.The houses, trading houses and the like were all funded and built by southerners like them. The families of Wang Hua and Wang Shouren were also considered representatives of southern scholars.

    "Since Yexian, the Oara Tribe has actually been scattered and has its own affairs. Now it is the Heshuote Tribe in the north and the Junggar Tribe in the west who want to unify the Tatar tribes. Their strength is much worse than that of the original little Tatar prince.  .¡±

    "Our Ming Dynasty is fully capable of defeating them, defeating them one by one, and finally completely annihilating the Oara tribes, bringing the grassland tribes under the rule of our Ming Dynasty, and at the same time restoring the rule and management of the Western Regions."

    "Once this can be realized, from now on our Ming Dynasty will have no border troubles in the north."

    Liu Daxia, Minister of the Ministry of War, also stood up and said.

    "Tsk, tsk, that brat is so good at knowing things. He really got it right. We don't even need to say it. Each of these civil servants took the initiative to ask for a fight, and they were even more active than us."

    Zhang Mao and Zhu Fu looked at each other, seeing the smile in each other's eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

    In the past, when these civil servants heard about war, they shook their heads resolutely and opposed it. But now, they are the most active in fighting war. In the final analysis, it is still the same as Liu Jin said, interests determine everything.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
