and also?
"To be honest, I actually don't like this wine very much."
Gu Xiao raised his eyebrows, realizing that baijiu is indeed not suitable for the scholar-official class.
Because baijiu is strong and aggressive, and the scholar-bureaucrat class in Huaguo pays attention to "Zhongzheng Peaceful" and "Sophisticated".
What they drink is to pursue a "slightly drunk" artistic conception, so the wine in this period is actually similar to drinks such as tea.
But after drinking this white wine, he vomited at every turn, which directly insulted the gentleness of the scholar-bureaucrats and lost their face. How could they like it?
If Ye Changtian's wine was sold cheaply, it might be very popular with the lower class people.
Because they are doing hard work, such a violent drink can just warm them up.
But Ye Changtian wanted to be in the rich man's business, so the price was very expensive.
He sells the wine so expensive, isn't he telling the rich and powerful that I just want to sell it to you.
And the dignitaries all know that he is Li Er's favourite. After receiving such a signal from him, can they not buy his liquor?
Even if you don't like to drink, you still have to buy a lot of them to show your favor to Ye Changtian.
Once everyone bought it, wouldn't Ye Changtian think that baijiu was very popular, and then increase the production?
But what about the waste?
After all, wine is also made from food.
Now all the food is used to make wine, the common people have no food to eat, and the wine made is thrown away as water in the hands of the aristocratic family, and all the money is circulated to Ye Changtian...
You must know that before the Ming Dynasty, Huaguo had been in a state of deflation.
Due to the insufficient production of copper mines and the lack of silver and gold, the amount of money issued is insufficient.
And ordinary people also like to save money, and the circulation performance of currency is greatly weakened.
Now Ye Changtian has taken all the coins that should have been circulated into his own hands, but very few have been circulated.
If this vicious cycle continues, the entire market will be messed up by Ye Changtian.
As an upright and lonely minister, Gu Xiao didn't engage in those twists and turns with Ye Changtian, and directly wrote a booklet to join Ye Changtian.
Even if you compete with the people for profit, you still disrupt the normal market order?I can't kill you!
As soon as Gu Xiao participated, the ministers also returned their IQs. They were very excited, and their expressions were regretful, but their mouths honestly supported Gu Xiao.
Let Ye Changtian sell it again, and all the money in their pockets will go into Ye Changtian's pocket.
In the end, Ye Changtian, who was ordered by Li Er not to sell expensive wine, "..."
When Ye Changtian was half dead, Gu Xiao immediately told him another piece of good news.
"Your Majesty, I have good news to tell you when I come back this time."
Gu Xiao immediately presented an object with a strange shape, but it could be seen that it was made of iron.
"Your Majesty, this is the first complete piece of pig iron produced by the mine with new technology. It has high iron content and is very hard. It is the result of the workers who have worked tirelessly for several months. I believe that as long as we continue to explore, we can make iron into steel." Technology will continue to improve, not only can all soldiers of our Tang Dynasty use iron weapons, but even agricultural tools can use iron to increase crop yields."
Li Er was very excited when he was told.
Gu Xiao said again: "The tool His Majesty sees now is improved by the workers in the mine on the basis of the previous agricultural plow, and it will increase the efficiency by at least three times when used in agricultural production..."
Gu Xiao described in detail the function of the iron plow.
It just so happens that the cultivation of potatoes and corn is being promoted all over the country, and Gu Xiao sent this iron plow, which is simply a timely gift.
Li Er even ran to the royal garden outside the main hall to try the iron plow.
Sure enough, the iron plow turned over the soil very quickly and deeply, which was much less labor-intensive than a farmer carrying a wooden hoe.
Ye Changtian was dumbfounded.
Isn't this Qu Yuanli?
It was supposed to be something that only appeared in the late Tang Dynasty. He was thinking about when he would bring it up to pretend to be a force, but now Gu Xiao made it out in advance?
After trying it out, Li Er said, "Gu Shaoqing! You really did not disappoint me!"
Gu Xiao said: "Your Majesty, this is not the credit of the minister. The iron is made by the workers in the mine with hard work, and the iron plow was also figured out by the workers in the mine. I just conveyed their results to Your Majesty."
Do you think the ancients were fools, they couldn't think of these things?
It's just the limitation of productivity, so they don't have the conditions to improve the tools.
Now that they come into contact with iron every day in the mine, they are naturally qualified. Not to mention the high-efficiency iron plow, let them ponder every day, and they can figure out a lot.
That's why Ye Changtian thought that the ancients were stupid all day long, and he was the only one who was smart in modern society who ate melamine waste oil.
"Your Majesty, these workers have contributed a lot to the mining of iron ore. I want to ask His Majesty for a favor, to reward the workers, and let them know that His Majesty always remembers them."
When Gu Xiao asked for grace, he wanted the workers to be grateful to the emperor, not to him.
As for the emperor, it was the emperor who credited the workers, not him.
Li Er is very satisfied with Gu Xiao's attitude of not being greedy for credit.
In the end, Gu Xiao returned to the mine with the imperial decree.
Li Er commended all the miners.
The key rewards are given to the workers who made the Quyuanli.
Naturally, material rewards are also indispensable.
The miners are very excited. Usually they work for others and are exhausted, but in the end the credit goes to those big shots. They never thought about digging a mine by themselves and getting any credit rewards.
But now, Gu Xiao is not greedy for their credit at all, and there is nothing missing from what should be given to them.
As long as they are willing to work hard and figure out something in the future, are the good days still far away?
Gu Xiao's act of asking for credit successfully encouraged the miners' enthusiasm for invention.
Ye Changtian ran to the mine to have a look.
The reason why he was so relieved to hand over the technical information to Gu Xiao was because he was certain that Gu Xiao would not be able to understand it.
In the end, Gu Xiao actually mined the iron, and even smelted such high-quality iron.
Didn't I make wedding clothes for Gu Xiao?
Ye Changtian thought of all the things that went wrong with him recently, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this Gu Xiao was trying to restrain him!
It's time to think of a way to get rid of Gu Xiao, a gangster and traitor who harms the common people!
At this time, Gu Xiao finished dealing with the matter in the mine, and went to the temple on the mountain to see the two younger siblings of the original owner.
When he arrived outside Gu Shuang's wing, the guard was about to salute, but Gu Xiao interrupted him by raising his hand.
In the wing room, Gu Shuang was crying while copying Buddhist scriptures, and the nanny advised her:
"Miss, the head of the family is also for your own good. You are the eldest daughter of the Gu family. Since you should marry a child of the right family, you can have a happy marriage in the future. How can you get along with Mr. Ye? His family status is not as good as that of the Gu family. That's all, I was engaged to someone since I was a child, if you really go to be his concubine, you will lose the face of the century-old Gu family, and I am afraid that you will suffer in the future..."
Chapter 84 Traveling Through the Tang Dynasty: The Shame of a Scholar
Gu Shuang sniffled, "Which side are you from, Mammy? I'm with Cousin Changtian, why should I suffer? Cousin Changtian can't bear me to suffer!"
"Miss, you are young and don't think carefully about things. Mr. Ye only knows to tell you that it is difficult for women to survive in the world, but how can he tell you how difficult it is? If you really ruined your future because of a man No matter how powerful the Gu family is, what can they do? Miss, listen to Mammy's persuasion, only your biological elder brother will consider everything for you, in case you make a wrong step, and you will regret it for the rest of your life, go back and talk to the Patriarch Admit your mistake..."
Gu Shuang was raised by a nanny, so she naturally has feelings for Gu Shuang.
Gu Shuang didn't like to hear these words, so she dropped her pen on the table, "Brother just doesn't like me as a younger sister, and you just don't like me everywhere!"
As she talked, she felt even more sad, and cried even more fiercely, no matter how hard she tried to persuade her, she couldn't persuade her.
After crying for a long time, she fell asleep on the table by herself.
Gu Xiao then pushed open the door and went in.
Mammy saluted quickly.
Gu Xiao bent down, picked up Gu Shuang, put him on the bed, and then went out to talk to the mother.
These days, Gu Shuang and Gu Jiu are honestly copying Buddhist scriptures.
Although I copied it reluctantly.
Gu Xiao stroked the jade finger and said, "Tomorrow I will remove the guards from the mountain."
Mammy froze, then knelt down on the ground.
"Patriarch! Miss is your direct sister, you can't leave her alone!"
Gu Xiao said: "I am her elder brother, I can protect her for a while, but can I protect her for a lifetime? If she is not allowed to see the coffin once, she will always think that she can rely on the coffin without paying and sacrificing. The Gu family of Wu County is unscrupulous."
Nanny trembled all over, but she also knew that Gu Xiao was right.
Moreover, Gu Xiao is the Patriarch of the Gu family, so the decision he made cannot be easily changed.
"Of course, if she doesn't go down the mountain, it's okay to obediently copy the Buddhist scriptures on the mountain, as long as you can persuade her."
On the second day, Gu Shuang and Gu Jiu discovered that all the guards guarding them on the mountain had withdrawn.
The two were about to go down the mountain in high spirits, but the nanny stubbornly stopped them.
"Miss, you can't go down the mountain. The head of the family came here yesterday! Now that you go down the mountain, you won't be Miss Gu of Wu County anymore!"
"Sister, don't talk nonsense! Can my elder brother get rid of me?"
Gu Shuang was looking forward to it, "It's been a long time since I saw Brother Changtian, I'm going to find Brother Changtian immediately, and tell him how much I miss him..."
Mammy, "..."
What kind of evil have you fallen into!
When Gu Shuang and Gu Jiu went down the mountain, they didn't go back home and went to look for Ye Changtian.
Seeing this little beauty like Gu Shuang, Ye Changtian was also very happy. He took Gu Shuang to buy and buy on the street, and then entered Wenxian Building.
Gu Jiu was carrying things behind him like a younger brother, and he was very happy with it.
Wenxian Building is a place where literati and elegant guests usually gather to discuss poetry and political affairs. When Ye Changtian plagiarized poetry, scholars have long despised him.
Even if Ye Changtian can make money, he is a merchant in their eyes.
Therefore, as soon as Ye Changtian entered the Wenxian Building, he attracted a lot of disdain.
"Copying other people's poems to bluff and deceive, he has the face to come out and bluff? How shameful!"
"Isn't that Miss Gu's? How could she associate with such a person? The reputation of the Gu family in Wu County has been ruined by her hands!"
Someone drove Ye Changtian away directly.
"Ye Changtian, this is the place where we scholars gather, and a bully like you has the face to come here? Hurry up and get out, don't insult the clean place of us scholars!"
Ye Changtian's face was ugly, but arguing with these mad dogs in front of the little beauty, wouldn't that lower his grade?
So he just smiled helplessly, and was about to pull Gu Shuang away.
Gu Shuang couldn't see Ye Changtian being wronged.
"Shut up all of you, with me, Mrs. Gu of Wu Commandery, he can go wherever he wants. You'd better be polite when talking to him, otherwise don't blame me, Mrs. Gu of Mrs. Wu Commandery for being rude to you!"
Someone said to Gu Shuang: "Miss Gu, your elder brother is upright and upright. You can't tolerate sand in your eyes. He is a first-class official in the court. He personally exposed the truth about Ye Changtian's theft of other people's poems. You actually acted on behalf of Ye Changtian." Cover up, where do you put your brother?"
"My brother was deceived by others, so he misunderstood Cousin Changtian. I will explain it clearly to my brother!"
The man shook his head and stopped arguing with Gu Shuang.
When the three of them came out of Wenxian Building, Gu Shuang was still full of anger.
Ye Changtian said: "Rumours stop at wise men. I don't care what they say, and you don't have to be so angry."
So what if the poems were not written by him?His strength is still beyond the reach of these scholars.
One by one, the poor jingle, and those who only know what they are, still have time to despise him, it's ridiculous.
Gu Shuang said to Ye Changtian guiltily: "Cousin Changtian, I'm sorry, this is all my brother's fault, I really didn't expect him to do such a thing."
Ye Changtian, "Hehe, whoever made me so good and made him feel the crisis, he can only use these rumors to attack me. In terms of strength, he is far inferior to me."
Gu Shuang and Gu Jiu nodded in sympathy.
Ye Changtian had been thinking of getting rid of the villain Gu Xiao, but now that Gu Shuang and Gu Jiu came to him, he just had a chance.
"Shuang'er, don't go back to the mansion today, I will take you to a good place."
