Zhen Guo Princess GL

I carefully examined the people in the club, and found that apart from me, there were only four women in the club who either came from aristocratic families or married into noble families. There are tens of thousands of people in the house, ninety-nine out of ten are from the people, and there is not a single commoner in the whole women's club.I even screened the palace servants in front of my mother and in front of me, and found that most of those who can read and write, and are reused by others, are of official origin, and there are very few pure slaves like sister Xu Changsheng, and they have reached a certain position. , it can no longer go up.However, the children of aristocratic families and officials, and those of common people and slaves, can be seen at a glance. The sons of powerful families, no matter how high or low the family is, whether they are educated or not, their expressions, demeanor and etiquette are far beyond the reach of the daughters of commoners. There are also quite a few differences between the descendants, concubine and clan branch - this is true for women who are in the humble business of serving others, let alone in the officialdom.

I compared all the officials I remembered, and found that the results were almost disappointing to the common people who are self-motivated: Unlike the plots of "the top scholar among the poor boys" that were repeatedly staged in TV dramas in the previous life, the last time in this era to go to Beijing to rush for the exam However, the son who failed the pilot test and was unable to make a living was also from a wealthy family, and his ancestors had at least one county lieutenant or other small official. The so-called poor family must at least have a "family". Actually, dutifully as the "head of Guizhou" exists in various orders, either committing himself as a slave—or a little more advanced, like Hou Sizhi who was executed by the stick, and Feng Xiaobao who was repatriated, selling himself With the rich and powerful.And last year I vigorously recommended the imperial examinations, which have been widely criticized by scholars this year, claiming that this is not in line with the practice of the imperial examinations.

As a former "common people", I felt a deep powerlessness and an unprecedented loneliness.

Everything has been going so well lately that I have forgotten many things that I should have kept in my heart.For example, the patriarchal clan, which is as strong as a mother, and the "class" that people in this era think of as natural, from the emperor to the capital of Guizhou, would not think of it....

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish.

Now I deeply understand my mother's mood when she said this to me, and why my mother's face suddenly changed when I mentioned that Cui Mingde should be released from the palace guard system, or that the Fengtian Bureau was recruiting in the market.

These things can never be changed by one person, nor can they be changed overnight.I don't know how many years have elapsed between now and my previous life. If only the five dynasties of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing were counted as 100 years each, it would take at least 500 years, 500 years. In the dynasties, the country was still poor and weak, and its short-lived glory was always based on the suffering of the people. The disaster of decline and decline first hit the ordinary people, not the nobles.The time of five dynasties, the efforts of many generations of people with lofty ideals, and even many changes and revolutions have not completely changed everything.

If I am alone, what can I change?

For many days in a row, I was depressed and stupidly doing what I was supposed to do—continuing to promote scholars who showed favor to me as appropriate, trying my best to flatter my mother, communicating with people in the society, and Liu Houde discusses the matter of Fengtian Bureau.

Fengtian Clothing Bureau has opened branches in eleven Xiongshang Wangzhous across the country. Liu Houde adopted my proposal and divided different states into different levels of branches. Hexi and Xijing are flagship stores, each with its own emphasis, but they also have general styles. The rest of the states set their levels according to sales volume, and they are divided into A, B, C, D, and fourth-class stores—of course we changed the name to five-star, four-star, and three-star. There are four kinds of stores, namely, two-star and one-star stores. The one-star store was proposed by Liu Houde and reserved for other states and counties as distribution agents. It has not yet opened. There are 41 stores in total, with about 800 sales staff such as shop assistants and shopkeepers. When there are slightly more operating personnel, about [-], there are more weaving and embroidery workers and design craftsmen, most of whom are women.

I ordered Liu Houde to count all the people and calculate carefully. It is necessary to maintain the ratio of male to female at more than [-]% to [-]%. Willing to do things and not lazy or stupid to accept all, and take this as one of the unwritten assessment criteria, Liu Houde thought I was out of cost concerns - after all, women who are willing to work boldly are almost desperate, The wages asked for are less than half of that of men, and they are submissive and willing to work hard-they actively maintain this ratio at [-]%.

I didn't say anything to explain it to him, and the explanation was useless, and it might cause his displeasure. Since A Huan said that to me, I think everyone wants to analyze the class composition, so as to discern the position and distinguish What can be said to whom and what can't be said to whom, on the contrary, this makes the people who are attached to me respect me more, and feel that I am "stable and unpredictable". It is said that they have used the same words to describe Li Sheng, so this It's hard to say how much of it is sincere, but it's better to be awed than to be ignored, so I just laughed it off.

One of the great benefits brought about by the development of the Fengtian Clothing Bureau is that the Fengtian Weaving Bureau and the Fengtian Catering Bureau were approved with almost no obstacles.The establishment of the Weaving Bureau is particularly easy. After all, the Apparel Bureau already has weaving workshops and workers, but now it just sends some people out and fills in some people.Food and beverage bureau is a bit difficult, because it is not easy to keep food fresh, so I only set up a small shop at first, focusing on hosting various banquets. I proposed to set up many identical stores like the chain stores in the previous life, and focus on selling milk tea, Fruit drinks, dried fruits, etc., but the law stipulates that except for the market, it is not allowed to do business on the street. As an official and businessman, I don’t know if the law breaks the law. After they come out, they have to be sent to the army first, and then sold.

In addition to these, I paid my own money, called a few craftsmen who will be supervisors, and a few experienced farmers in my own manor, and ordered them to develop better agricultural tools. In Cizhou County, I also collected a set in the mansion as one of the textbooks in the inner school. A servant found that it mentioned a Jiangdong plow, which was easier to use than the current plow, and suggested using this plow in the manor at home. , I took a look at it myself, and found that although this thing has been improved, it still needs a cow to move. I have no shortage of cows in my house, but most of them in the outskirts of the capital still rely on human power to pull them. If young and strong men can invent more labor-saving utensils, preferably ones that women and children can use, it will be much more convenient, and it can also increase the importance of women at home.

Fortunately, in order to teach etiquette, I also recalled several theoretical and numerical theorems from previous lives, including the lever principle, the pulley theorem and the Pythagorean theorem. They were taught to craftsmen under the pretense that they were written in ancient books—I only remember roughly, not very much. Accurate, fortunately A Huan found out the entries in "Mo Jing" and "Zhou Bi Suan Jing" for me. I will teach the craftsmen with my own narrative and these books, and I also invited a Ph.D. in mathematics from the Imperial College to study together. They quickly deduced the specific formula values ​​by themselves, and I asked someone to rewrite these formulas in simple language and teach them to all the servants in my family. It was cut off and lost, or it was monopolized by the gentry.

During the busy time, it was March again, and the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming. Three ministers including Dou Lu Qinwang were called back one after another, but the other four were relegated to farther places. Surprisingly, Li Zhaode also After being called back, Lai Junchen had been promoted from Suzhengtai, and Li Zhaode was placed in it again as Yutai Yushi.

This month, the military report came that our army was defeated by Khitan and Tubo.

The author has something to say: Second update.

Posted on Weibo, to make up for a history of Wan Zhao/Wan Pingliang:

In fact, Wan’er’s epitaph is basically written in accordance with the official format, which is not enough to make up for. What is really worth making up for is Zhang Shuo’s preface to her anthology. The excerpts are as follows:

In ancient times, there were female historians who recorded meritorious deeds, and there were female ministers who made decisions in palaces and courts. The two dynasties of Zhaorong were dedicated to beauty.Although Han was called Ban Yuan and Jin was called Zuo concubine, the way of writing was not different, but the merit of assisting was different.The trace is above the nine heavens, and the body is submerged under the heavy spring. Jiayou Lingfan, rarely heard of it for generations, and a few generations later learned it, so how admirable!However, according to the map of the four seas, the majesty hangs the life of all the spirits, happy will lead to nine siege, angry will bleed for thousands of miles, quiet will make Qianli peaceful, and move will make the gangster stop evil.Is it difficult to hear the words in your ears?Those who are expensive and powerful are suspicious, those who are cheap and have no propriety are separated, those who are light in the near future are indifferent, and those who are far away and loyal are disobedient.But slim and gentle, seductive and kind-hearted, forgetting the path of the nine virtues, and the garden of the six arts, so the sleepiness of ascending Kunming and patrolling the sea, the prestige of cutting off the hu and mowing over, the state of being precious and obedient, disappearing, from the love of birds and pleasures The end is useless.Only the teaching of gentleness will gradually spread to strangers, and the voice of elegance will flow to the leaves.The non-husband Xuan Huang Yucui, chastity helps thinking, all wonderful things support knowledge, group spirits carry ambition, give birth to extraordinary talents, and grant prosperity to kings, which one can achieve Si Yi?

Princess Taiping of Zhenguo, younger sister of Emperor Daogao.The talent is as important as heaven and man. In the past, we have traveled together on the east wall and feasted on Beizhu together.Compassion for the remnants of Guan's remnants, mourning for the empty song of the plain fan, the story of the emperor's begging for Jiaoye after hearing about it, and a new collection of Xulantai by the minister of life.All the volumes are listed on the left.

—— "Quan Tang Wen" Volume 220

An excerpt from the unscrupulous and inaccurate translation of a certain Yun:

…The previous article kept praising Wan'er's virtues, and at the same time compared with good concubines like Ban Jieyu and Zuo Guifei, and later mentioned her virtues in detail as follows:

The great monarch occupies the whole world. She is peaceful when she is safe, and too uneasy when she is uneasy. When she gets angry, she will bleed for thousands of miles. Is it easy for us to persuade her, but there is such a person who can make us old? The emperor lived in peace.

The old emperor is overly suspicious, the powerful and noble people are suspicious, the lowly people are unreasonable, she always ignores what the close people say, and the distant but loyal people are annoying to her, only we are gentle and graceful Wan'er, be persuasive and persuasive!Wan'er, she forgot to eat and sleep, tried her best, played the six arts of a gentleman, and coaxed the old emperor well, and did not learn from Qin Shihuang. The majesty is also pulled down, the desire to collect treasures from building buildings is gone, the obsession with music and dance games is gone (it's all on Wan'er), gentleness (□□ the old emperor) enlightenment benefits everyone, and is elegant The way of doing has been passed down to this day.Unfortunately, she died young.

Princess Taiping was born noble, and she has a good relationship with Wan'er. I think she was like Mrs. Xiang, Mrs. Xiang, who traveled to Beizhu back then, and they were in the Royal Library together (it can also be understood as going through the funeral together, so she is a wife and wife who will never come out [Dark Fog]) The feelings of childhood sweethearts are different, and the sadness is hard to restrain, so Shangshu collected the anthologies of ancient people and synthesized them into several volumes, listed on the right.

(So ​​the Shangguan Kunlun (named Beizhu) who used the brush to kill Liuhe, Wu Donghai (named Kunlun slave) who whipped the world with a whip, and the story of Li Haisheng who used the golden key (eh) are set up in this way... )
