Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

The armor made was highly appreciated by the emperor. Several masters who made the armor were rewarded. It was very beautiful. It also attracted some people who wanted to poach corners. They just looked at the whole girder, but there was really no one. A shop dared to say that the treatment was higher than what Wang Xiujin offered, how could the masters agree, they are not stupid.Wang Xiujin was able to attribute the credit to them, how could it be possible for others to do so, the shrewd masters worked harder.

Some people say that Wang Xiujin is stupid, and he gave all his merits to the master tailors, so he is not afraid that the masters will kick him out of his own business after they get the reward.Is Wang Xiujin stupid?He is not stupid at all, on the contrary, he is very smart. Wang Xiujin knew that he was the one who made great achievements in front of the emperor. The emperor might reward him on the surface, but he knew in his heart who the real meritorious person is. Now the emperor needs him. What will happen, if one day the emperor abandons him, he will be nothing.Besides, those masters, maybe because of Wang Xiujin's name as an imperial merchant and his family background, it will not be so, but what about in the future?Who can guarantee a smooth life, people still have to stay on the front line.

Once the style of the armor was settled, production began. For some reason, the textile workshop that was supposed to be involved was put down, and the female workers began to take a formal holiday.The female workers in the new building got busy from morning to night, and even the account inspectors who usually only use pens joined in to do some simple work. About ten pieces can be produced.

When the first month came out, a letter came from the border, saying that the army had arrived at the border and would soon attack the barbarians.This letter was naturally sent to the court, and another secret letter was placed on the imperial case. The letter detailed the border affairs, and then asked whether to recover the barbarian territory, or to make another plan?

With a swipe of the emperor's pen, when the armor was delivered to the border, he encircled and suppressed the barbarians. Those who surrendered were allowed to live in the border, and those who did not submit and resist were blasted out of the grassland. As for how to make a living in the future, what does it have to do with him? Who made him disobedient.Anyone who refuses to submit and wants to resist, kill!

After the secret letter was drafted, the emperor called Wang Xiujin into the palace and asked him how many pieces of armor he had produced.After Wang Xiujin reported the number, the emperor was very dissatisfied with the slow speed.Wang Xiujin smiled wryly, and refused to let the people in the textile workshop do it. He was afraid that people would make too much noise and leak the matter of the armor. Now he thought it was too late, and he didn't have efficient production machines.Even if they have three heads and six arms, they must have materials. Now the number of rattans is limited, and they are still weaving while waiting for a new rattan to arrive.

The emperor also knew in his heart that it is impossible to make all the soldiers' armors out tomorrow after a mission is issued today.

"My Majesty, I have a plan." Wang Xiujin suddenly remembered the industries derived from various troops in his previous life, such as military factories. "It is possible to build a workshop with money from the imperial court, specializing in the production of items for soldiers, such as weapons, clothing and shoes. Those who enter the workshop must sign a very strict confidentiality contract. Those who violate it will be slaves for generations. The conditions, of course, no matter how harsh the conditions are, it is better to hold their contracts of sale, and you can also let the older maids in the palace, or follow them to do it."

The emperor nodded, feeling that this matter is feasible, he looked up at Wang Xiujin, "It's a good idea, but if you just throw money into it blindly, I'm afraid it won't be easy for the household department to solve it."

Naturally, Wang Xiujin knew what the emperor meant. Now the household department is in charge of the money, and the household department is mainly composed of civil servants. Although the civil servants have many factions, as long as they confront the military officers, they will unite as one. "The clothes and shoes produced by the workshop are very durable and can be dyed into other colors for sale to the common people." Wang Xiujin remembered that this is what the military factory did. The counterparts are soldiers, not for foreign people."

The emperor didn't make things difficult for Wang Xiujin anymore, "This matter is up to you."

"My Majesty, it's not right for my ministers to handle this matter. It's better to leave it to the people around the Emperor." Wang Xiujin thinks that this matter should be handed over to someone to follow him. He is too ostentatious now, and many people must have turned his back on him. Pleasing to the eye, when the time is right, people need to look down on him.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at the people around him. After thinking for a while, he seemed to understand what Wang Xiujin meant, and then he laughed, "I will have Xiao Qin follow me to do this." Xiao Qin hurriedly stepped forward to salute, swear.The emperor looked at Wang Xiujin again, "If you encounter any problems, go to the rice shopkeeper in the grocery store, if he is not there, then go to him." The emperor nodded to Wang Xiujin, and Xiao Qin hurriedly saluted Wang Xiujin.

Wang Xiujin avoided slightly, "I'm not talented, so I can't relieve the emperor's worries."

"If that's the case, let's think about it behind closed doors." The emperor said with a smile.

The fact that Wang Xiujin was punished by the emperor to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors quickly spread throughout the court and the public. Everyone was speculating whether Wang Xiujin's position as an imperial merchant would not be guaranteed, and some even speculated whether Mr. Wang had lost the trust of the emperor.No matter how everyone guessed, Wang Xiujin is enjoying hot pot at home at the moment, and Li Sushan and Song Hongyi are at the same table.

Song Hongyi was sent by his wife to ask about the situation, while Li Sushan knew about it on the day he was punished, and he could also guess why the emperor's intentions. It is estimated that in two days it will not be that the reputation of the imperial merchant will be lost, but that he will definitely be punished. Take it down, at that time, the capital will probably cause another bloody storm.Song Hongyi saw that Wang Xiujin didn't look disappointed at all, and was quite happy, so he knew that there was nothing wrong, so he was relieved, and moved the topic to other things, such as who became a famous actor in the capital, which teahouse Good storytelling.

Wang Xiujin hadn't seriously listened to an ancient man's storytelling, so he suddenly wanted to listen to it, but thinking about not being able to go out at this time, he felt a little resentful, the emperor closed the door for punishment, and he punished him, but he had to say that he would be fined for a few days It's a good day to stay at home every day, and it will grow hair after a long time.

After seeing off Song Hongyi, Li Sushan put the account books brought from shops and workshops on the table.Wang Xiujin looked at the account book and sighed silently. In fact, he was not idle at all at home and had too much to do. In the morning, his father left homework for him, and now there is another account book on the table. All good mood gone.

In the court hall, after the emperor brought up the construction of the workshop, the civil servants almost jumped to their feet and yelled against it. Regardless of their official positions, they all lined up and quoted the holy words to warn the emperor not to use martial arts.The military officers quietly rolled up their sleeves, desperately wanting to rush up and beat people up.Old General Li acted calmly as if he hadn’t heard the voices of the civil servants kneeling and crying to object, and he didn’t seem to have seen the few people who wanted to rush to the pillars to seek their death. More than one person was watching the farce in the hall. The emperor on the imperial chair was also watching, but he was very sad.

Not all the civil servants lost their reason and rushed out to persuade the emperor. Some wise people looked at the steady figure of Mr. Wang, leaned back silently, and then peeked at the one above. silence.The emperor brought it up, naturally not asking for their opinions, I am afraid that a decision has been made long ago, but these people are not jumping out like a monkey to play around, the result is definitely not like a monkey getting a reward, but may be killed .

Thinking of this, the civil servants trembled in their hearts. I don't know when the emperor's words in the court turned into orders instead of following the opinions of the courtiers, and the emperor's punishment for corruption became more and more ruthless.Cold sweat dripped from the foreheads of some people. They looked at Lord Wang secretly, and then took a look at the emperor above. They seemed to have to change. If they don't change, what awaits them is bound to be a dead end.

Today, I like people who can do practical things, and I don't like people who flatter and flatter me, and I don't like people who jump around every day to admonish some people who say nothing.The people who figured it out shook their fists and came out, "I think the workshop can be built." If one came out to change the tone, there would be a second one. Those who had yelled against before were ashamed by those who came out to say they agreed. It's all black, is he stupid?Agreeing to go on an expedition is a last resort, but the construction workshop has already touched their interests, and there are still people who come out to say that they can be built, and their brains have been kicked by a donkey.

The person who came out of the line looked at the glaring eyes of the previous people, but he was very calm, and he quoted the scriptures when he opened his mouth, which was no worse than those civil servants who quoted the holy words.The officials already had a change of mind, and naturally they would not miss the opportunity to show off, and they also came out one after another. The civil officials were quickly divided into two factions, and the quarrel was fierce.

The military officers who didn't appear on the list were a little stupid. They had tried to suppress their civil servants before. After such a short time, internal strife broke out, so there was no need for them to roll up their sleeves and fight.The military officers silently watched the civil servants arguing happily, and knew in their hearts that those who came out to agree with the emperor did not change their views on the military officer, but to please the emperor.

The emperor saw enough excitement, so he asked his relatives to pass the decree, and he walked forward, ignoring the two parties who were arguing, and called out directly, "Listen to the decree." .The entourage quickly recited the decree. The civil servants and military officials were a little dumbfounded. Now, the workshop to be built will be taken care of by the emperor's entourage. Did they hear it wrong?Even if it is necessary to build a workshop, it should be managed by a military officer, no matter how bad it is, it should be jointly managed by civil and military officials, or even managed by an imperial businessman. It never occurred to me that the emperor entrusted such important matters to his personal followers.

The hall was instantly quiet, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, what does the emperor mean by doing this?Why don't you play cards according to the routine?

"I originally wanted to choose a capable person from among the civil servants to run a workshop for me." The emperor looked at Wenwu who was kneeling on the ground, and lied without guilt.
