Eunuchs who traveled through the Qing Dynasty

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Mei was startled and angry.On the way here, Yanlin had secretly told her about the incident, but she didn't explain it in detail. Originally, Lan'er was living in the cold palace, alone, and she couldn't bear it anymore. She didn't even recognize Er Niang, she couldn't help being really angry, and said angrily: "Chun'er, is it true?"

Zai Chun couldn't tell, so he simply sat down on the ground, opened his neck and howled vigorously.Xiao Ran smiled and said: "See? This is the good son you disciplined! Damn, I'll educate him again today. Follow me? Damn it!"

As he said that, he kicked Zai Chun twice.Mei couldn't bear it, and wanted to step forward to stop him, Xiao Ran said loudly: "A habitual child is like murdering a child! Will you listen to me?"

Mei stopped in her tracks, looked at Xiao Ran, and then at Zai Chun's pitiful appearance, she was so anxious that she was about to cry.Xiao Ran didn't show mercy at all, since he wasn't his own child anyway, he would punch Dang Dong when he caught him, and every time he slapped him, he would ask, "Are you convinced?"

Zai Chun was really in a hurry at this moment, seeing that his mother-in-law, who always loved and doted on him, didn't come to stop her, she cried even more earth-shatteringly, the more she cried, the louder her voice became hoarse from crying.Xiao Ran's slaps did not intend to stop at all, the louder he cried, the harder he slapped.Do you think, how many beatings can a seven-year-old child withstand?After a while, I couldn't cry anymore.Zai Chun is not stupid, seeing that this time Er Niang is completely hopeless, finally gave in, and shouted: "Don't...don't hit me! I, I give in!"

Xiao Ran said: "Convinced or oral?"

"Heart, convinced..."

Snapped!Slapping it hard, Xiao Ran said angrily, "Not convinced?"

"Take it! Take it! Take it orally!"

Snapped! "Is it heartfelt or oral?"

"You can take it orally, you can take it with your heart, you can take it with you!"

"Mom, that's pretty much the same, you're smart! If you dare to be mischievous, let's see how I deal with you!"

Xiao Ran raised his hand, and Zai Chun was so frightened that he rolled back with his head in his arms, and hit his head against the foot of the table with a thud, grinning his teeth in pain, but he didn't dare to cry.Xiao Ran said: "If you are obedient, I will not beat you, and I will even take you to play, which is guaranteed to be something you have never played before. Don't you want to fly in the sky? I will take you to fly if you are obedient. And , your master Li Hongzao taught you such virtues, which shows that your level is not very good. Starting tomorrow, the homework will be halved, and you will learn from him the three-character scriptures and hundreds of surnames, as long as you can recognize all the characters. From now on, follow I'm messing around, okay?"

Having fun and not having to study hard, Zai Chun was almost overjoyed. After all, he was a child, but he forgot the beating he had just received, and quickly hugged Xiao Ran's thigh and said: "Okay, okay! Chun'er is obedient!" Still full of snot and tears, this smile is very funny.Mei couldn't help wanting to laugh, and hurriedly held back and said: "How can this be done? As an emperor, but he doesn't study...ah!" He immediately understood Xiao Ran's intentions, hesitated for a while and stopped talking.

At this time Yanlin also came with Lan'er, seeing Zai Chun's obedient appearance, she didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.Seeing that he was beaten again, Lan'er felt distressed, but she also felt that it was a good thing to be able to control him.A few people talked for a while, and there was something else on the other end of their eyebrows, so they left.Zhang Wenliang took Zai Chun to change his clothes and scrubbed his hands and face.Fortunately, Xiao Ran didn't do anything to his face, Zai Chun's buttocks were swollen and he walked with a limp, but he couldn't tell from his appearance.

Jing Shou guarded the cold palace tightly, and there were Mei Liangfu's guards guarding the periphery, so no news from here spread out.There is only one old eunuch and four maids in the cold palace, Xiao Ran asked Jing Shou to send these people out of the palace overnight, find a safe place to settle them down first, and send them back to their original place after a year or so .So far, this unprecedented disturbance has been silent.

Chun's ass was swollen by Xiao Ran, and within a few days Lin would not even think about jumping around. Lin went to find a safe and cautious imperial doctor to make adjustments carefully, and promised Zai Chun to take him to a balloon ride as soon as he recovered, provided that Don't say a word about what happened today.Zai Chun now loves and fears Xiao Ran, so he couldn't help but not agree.

Everyone left, only Xiao Ran and Lan Er remained.It was already dark, Xiao Ran said: "It's getting late, I have to go back to Xiao's mansion. Are you...do you have anything else to do?"

"Me?" Lan Er was stunned for a moment, shook her head and smiled, and said lightly, "What will happen to me? It's cold and the road is slippery, you'd better go back earlier, so as not to worry your family."

Lan'er seems to have lost weight recently, her originally plump shoulders have been slightly shaved, coupled with her tall figure, she looks less domineering than before, but more peaceful.Xiao Ran looked at her, as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated for a moment, then sighed, turned and walked out the door.There is still a distance to Shenwumen after passing through the West Third Institute.At this time, the snow fell in the sky again, and the eunuchs in the palace were busy lighting the lamps.A young eunuch recognized Xiao Ran, hurried over and held up an oiled paper umbrella for Xiao Ran.Xiao Ran smiled and didn't care, and walked forward.

As soon as he turned the corner, he heard noise from behind. Curious, Xiao Ran turned back to look, but a few guards stopped an eunuch, making no noise to let him pass.The eunuch smiled apologetically and said: "You guys are accommodating, we are ordered by the master to go to the deputy head of the house, Mr. Xiao Ran, Eunuch Xiao Ran! The elder brothers hold their hands high and drink tea together later."

When Xiao Ran's name was mentioned, several guards glanced at each other.The tone softened obviously, and one person said: "That's not necessary, it's just that we have this rule." Pointing to Leng Gong, he said: "Who is your landlord, if you want to leave the West Third Institute, you must have a note. In this way, my brothers are also embarrassed!"

Only then did Xiao Ran know that the eunuch was arranged by Jing Shouxin to Lan'er.Then he stepped forward and said, "Are you looking for me? What's the matter?"

The eunuch met Xiao Ran.He hurriedly bowed and saluted.Said: "Eunuch Xiao, our master said that the snow in this season will melt when it touches your body, and ask you to cover this to save yourself from catching a cold."

Xiao Ran took it and looked at it, but found that it was a silk umbrella embroidered with silk, which was brought by women for shade in summer.Unconsciously smiled.Just about to say that there is no need for an umbrella, I inadvertently raised my head, but saw a familiar figure standing vaguely in the shadow of the lamp on the far corner of the wall, as if looking here on tiptoe.This posture could not help but remind Xiao Ran of the woman who sent Jun away, the way she leaned on the door and looked melancholy, there was a trace of melancholy in her heart for no reason.He nodded and took the umbrella without saying anything.Hold up and leave.

The little eunuch holding the umbrella earlier was afraid that he wouldn't be able to flatter him.Hastily said: "Eunuch Xiao, this umbrella is not for this season, I'd better hold this umbrella for you. It will save your arms from getting tired."

Without turning his head, Xiao Ran said: "Go aside." The little eunuch flattered the horse's leg and went away listlessly.

After leaving the Shenwu Gate, the carriage in the mansion is waiting.Xiao Ran got into the car and walked towards Yuqianerhu.Having nothing to do, I played with the silk umbrella in my hand, and by the light of the horseshoe lamp, I saw a few lines of small characters engraved on the handle of the umbrella: The young man listened to Yuge upstairs, and the red candle dimmed the tent.The middle-aged man listens to the rain in the boat, the river is wide and the clouds are low, and the broken wild goose is called the west wind.Now listening to the rain under the monk's hut, there are already stars on the temples.The joys and sorrows are always ruthless, and the first step will last till dawn.

Xiao Ran's heart was in a mess all of a sudden, all that was dangling in front of his eyes was that charming face.Laner, Laner... What kind of woman are you? ...

My mind was in a mess all the way, and I didn't know what I was thinking.When I got back to Xiao Mansion, I got out of the car and saw a bunch of beauties rushing out of the door. It turned out that the wives waited and waited for him to come back, and they were anxiously waiting at the door to meet him.Ning Xin hugged Xiao Ran's arm and shouted: "Sisters, watch out, don't let him run away again!"

The servants couldn't hold back their laughter, but they didn't dare to laugh. They covered their mouths and bent over.Xiao Ran was terribly frightened, he finished his words, it seems that the buddies have entered the wolf's den tonight!I regretted it for a while, if I hadn't been tossing around with my sister yesterday, I would have saved some food at Yanlin's today, maybe I could have dealt with these flower girls.Alas, I don't know if our body can resist or not?

Yu Lai and Xiao Ying also got the letter, and they both rushed to welcome Xiao Ran.Yu Lai looked at Xiao Ran's posture of being hugged by a group of beauties, naturally he was extremely envious, but he could only swallow pitifully.Xiao Ying was clever. Seeing Yu Lai's appearance, she turned her beautiful eyes, hugged his shoulders with a smile, and whispered in his ear: "How about it? I'm happy to have more wives, right? Are you envious?"

Want us to marry two beautiful concubines? "

Yu Lai said: "Envy... ah, what are you envious of! Are we that kind of person! Let's just marry Yingying."

Xiao Ying laughed and said, "It's better to tell the truth. Hmph, look, he's very beautiful now, and he won't be able to get into bed tomorrow morning!"

Saying it this way, I felt a little gloating when the rain came, and I thought, isn't it, this is called blessing and misfortune!

The banquet in the mansion has already been prepared, and it will start as soon as Xiao Ran comes back.The old lady Xiao Yushi was getting old, and because of her blindness, she fell down a while ago and couldn't sit for a long time. After drinking a few glasses of wine, she went back to her room to rest.Xiao Ran then told Yu about the recent business affairs.

Now the business of woven fabrics has become more and more prosperous. Due to the absolute advantages of quality and price, woven fabrics caused a sensation as soon as they were put on the market. The cost of making a handmade homemade robe is now using woven fabrics. You can make two sets and still be rich. Such a huge difference not only brings tangible benefits to the people, but also makes local woven fabrics quickly open up in the market. In many places, the supply is in short supply.

Under the imperial court's series of protection policies, the local woven cloth was launched in just over two months, and it swept across the north and south of the country with the momentum of a single spark.The benefits of joining in multiple locations in the early stage are reflected at this time. From Hebei to Jiangnan, and even Shanghai and Guangzhou, cloth shops in various places have sprung up like mushrooms and blossomed everywhere.Compared with domestic fabrics, western fabrics are not a little bit more expensive due to the high freight costs, and there is no difference in technology and quality, so gradually no one cares about them.The original foreign cloth shops in Shanghai have now closed down nine out of ten, and the remaining two have lowered their prices again and again, and even lost their money, but they are still empty and no one buys it.

The brisk sales of woven fabrics soon destroyed the traditional Chinese family workshop production method.The original labor force was liberated, and it just happened to provide sufficient labor force for textile factories and spinning mills everywhere.At the same time, the demand for cotton yarn increased greatly, which on the one hand drove the spinning industry and on the other hand stimulated the cotton planting industry.According to the operation ideas provided by Tongrantang, most of the franchisees of cotton spinning factories in various places have signed purchase contracts with local cotton farmers, which not only guarantees the interests of cotton farmers, but also reduces industry risks.

With the increasing sales of woven fabrics, the supply of hand sewing machines produced by Tong Ran Tang began to fall short of demand.

The rise of the textile industry has brought tremendous pressure to the factories under Tongrantang.At this time, Zhang Zhidong had already taken over the machine manufacturing plant. While expanding the production scale, he recruited a large number of workers and worked overtime.But after all, the technology and production scale at that time were very limited, and it was impossible to meet the needs of cotton spinning factories in various places. Yulai began to plan the establishment of Jiangnan Textile Manufacturing Bureau.With the experience of setting up factories in the past, he is naturally familiar with the road now.

And this series of changes has greatly stimulated the mining and foundry industries at the same time.The rumors that the so-called digging mines destroyed the Fengshui dragon veins have long been self-defeating, and more and more mines have been discovered and mined everywhere.In addition to iron ore and copper mines, abundant bauxite resources have finally been discovered in Guangxi. Yulai has already planned to build the first aluminum factory in Chinese history.

In Jiangnan and Shanghai, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and others were not far behind, and set up new-style Westernization factories one after another.Zeng Guofan's Anqing Ordnance Institute has successfully imitated a steam engine, and used this steam engine to manufacture the first small steamer in Chinese history.The scale of Anqing Ordnance Institute has also been expanded. While producing firearms and ammunition, a Machinery Manufacturing Bureau was established to produce steam engines.Li Hongzhang set up a textile machinery factory. At the same time, he also opened the Shanghai Artillery Bureau to produce heavy howitzers, and acquired the Meishang Qiji Iron Works in Hongkou, Shanghai.

All of this shows that various industries have started an unprecedented chain reaction, and the Qing Dynasty has officially entered an industrial revolution.Xiao Ran's original idea finally acted like a catalyst, completely igniting this wildfire!

Industry is the pillar of a country and the fundamental guarantee for a nation to move from darkness to light.What is unfolding in front of Xiao Ran is a huge change that has never been seen in thousands of years of history. This will be a torrent that no one can resist. It is powerful enough to sweep everything!

From this moment on, the Qing Dynasty will completely take off the hat of backwardness and poverty, and bid farewell to the history of being bullied and slaughtered.Huaxia Shenzhou has entered the fast lane of development, and is truly embarking on the road to rise!

All the woven fabrics produced in various places in the past, except for a small amount sold locally by franchisees, were all taken back by the imperial court, and the price and sales channels were unified.And Tongrantang is naturally the only agent designated by the imperial court. Through its unique sales network, it can guarantee that the goods will be sold to all parts of the country in the shortest time.And the vain money poured into Tongrantang's accounts.

The money, Tong Rantang and the imperial court are basically adding two to one to five.With the rise of other industries and the subsequent rise of some local commercial ports, the tax revenue of the imperial court also skyrocketed.In just over a year, the current national silver inventory has reached the level of the Jiaqing period. Compared with the successive deficits during the first two years of the Opium War, it can no longer be measured simply by how many times it has doubled.

A full treasury is more conducive to promoting the development of industrial transformation.It has to be said that Yi has indeed played a mainstay role in this respect.The current main work of the Zongli Yamen has gradually expanded from the simple contact with foreign affairs to the promotion of domestic industry and commerce. The introduction of a series of related policies has made the domestic situation more prosperous and prosperous.

There is a saying that if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it.Although Tongrantang is a signboard of the imperial court's shareholding, it is still a mechanism of a commercial firm after all, which inevitably arouses the jealousy of other commercial firms.At that time, most of those who could afford to open commercial firms had some foundations. Therefore, 27 commercial firms in Henan, Hebei, and Shandong provinces joined forces to bring down Tongrantang.At the same time as the pyramid sale of the massage stick that I had done before, it also reached the critical point of income.That's what MLM is all about.Due to the instability of the capital structure, once a certain critical point is exceeded, it will collapse irreparably and quickly, even overnight, just like a landslide and tsunami.

Naturally, those who tried their best to bring down Tongrantang would not let this rare and good opportunity go in vain.In the meantime, it will inevitably involve the management and employment of Tongran Tang. The Han people are all of the same color, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of the Eight Banners.under the organization of a few people.Encourage some people who don't know the truth to loot Tongrantang's branches and business franchisees in various places.Among them, Shandong is the most serious.It even caused small-scale riots.

Those commercial firms took the opportunity to open up their joints, jointly sued Tongrantang at the local governor, and the local government office wrote a letter to the imperial court to participate in the impeachment, and there was an uproar for a while.Fortunately, Xiao Ran had the foresight to create a Mei Sanjian semicolon as a scapegoat. Because of the neat bookkeeping, no one could see the reason.I had no choice but to hastily seal the Tongran hall semicolon.And because Mei San is a bannerman, he was imprisoned in the clan's mansion for punishment.

Mei San is an out-and-out rogue, he can't do good deeds, but what he is most afraid of is letting things go.And with Xiao Ran as his big backer, he was extremely confident, and the imperial court had nothing to do with him.On the other side of the rain, the joints were opened up and down again, with the empress dowager escorting on the top, and the king discussing politics on the bottom.Mei San ate and drank a lot in the clan mansion for three days.Then he swaggered back to work in Tongrantang.

The MLM crisis has passed, and now we are fully committed to the construction of the business system.In less than two years since its establishment.62 branches have been established in various provinces and regions by means of equity participation, and a national sales network has begun to take shape.And now Yu Lai's focus is on the establishment of Shanghai Shipping Merchants Bureau. If it goes well, it will take about half a year to control the inland river and sea shipping in the Jianghuai area.The next goal will be to export foreign trade, export Chinese woven fabrics and cotton yarn to foreign countries, and grab money from the pockets of foreign devils.

When Yu Lai said these words, his tone was very calm, not in a hurry, he didn't feel complacent when he was done, and he didn't feel nervous when he was about to face a bigger business operation.The whole person looks like a vat of old wine, which looks simple and indifferent, but exudes a kind of sweet and heavy from the inside to the outside.Xiao Ran looked with admiration and satisfaction at the 19-year-old boy in front of him, and he couldn't connect him with the image of the grocery store apprentice back then.In just two years, the innocent and straightforward boy has now grown into a calm and experienced business elite, how can it not be impressive!
