Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

Nearly a hundred people from the Li family knelt to receive the imperial decree, filling up the front desk. Wang Xiujin secretly looked at the father-in-law who passed the decree. Think more.The decree is very concise and to the point, the old general Li was granted the title of protector of the country, General Li was promoted to the second rank as the mighty general, the third master of the Li family was also promoted to the official position, Li Sushan was promoted to the general army, and the shopkeeper Mi was granted the second rank , the only ones in the family who have not been canonized are the second master of the Li family who is far away in Qiucheng, and Wang Xiujin, who is an imperial merchant.

Wang Xiujin was not interested in canonization or anything, he just needed to know that his family was fine. After he brought a big purse to the entourage who announced the decree, the entourage was very friendly and revealed the gossip to Wang Xiujin, and Lord Wang was also granted the canonization.Wang Xiujin took another pouch casually, thanked him repeatedly and sent his entourage away.Some people were promoted that night, while others were dragged into prison.

The general's mansion was very low-key, what the servants were supposed to do, and the housekeeper led the staff to press down on a few snarky people.Old General Li took his son and eldest grandson to the study again, while Shopkeeper Mi sighed.Wang Xiujin stayed with daddy for a while, and felt that daddy was bothered by his orders, so he brought the topic to second uncle, "Dad, the second uncle said in a letter from home last time that they want to get married, what happened after that?"

"Your second uncle fell in love with someone before he went to Qiucheng. He disagreed at the time, and then he also went to Qiucheng for some reason. The two came and went and settled down." There are still some messy things, Mi The shopkeeper is not a gossip person, and it is not easy to tell the younger generation about the elders' private affairs. "Not long after you went to Feng'an, the old man sent people to send a lot of things, which is regarded as a recognition of this marriage."

Wang Xiujin didn't want to listen to the process carefully, but just wanted to change the topic. For the second aunt who hadn't met, Wang Xiujin asked his father if he wanted to give a gift or something.Was teased by Shopkeeper Mi, "He is the one who will give you gifts for meeting, but for the New Year's Eve, of course you can't let him give gifts. Okay, you are tired too, go back to sleep early! Tomorrow I still have to go to the shop workshop, you have been away for so long, although nothing happened, but you still have to show your face."

Wang Xiujin said yes again and again, saluted the shopkeeper Mi and went back to the yard.Thinking about what he had to do tomorrow, Wang Xiujin felt that he had been busy until the year before.

That night, Li Sushan didn't return to his room until his grandfather and father went to the morning court. Wang Xiujin just turned over when he heard the sound. By Wang Xiujin's side, he gently hugged the person in his arms. Seeing that the person in his arms was sleeping soundly, he let out a breath slowly. After a while, his breathing slowed down and he fell asleep.

Wang Xiujin slept very comfortably. He didn't open his eyes until he heard footsteps walking outside. He raised his eyes and saw a piece of white skirt. He blinked, looked at the sky outside, and estimated the time. I didn't get up early to fight boxing, thinking that when I was sleeping yesterday, I hadn't come back yet, and I didn't know when I was called over to talk about things the night before. I'm afraid I didn't sleep well before, otherwise I wouldn't have slept until I missed the usual wake-up time. point.

Leaning in Li Sushan's arms, Wang Xiujin didn't dare to move, he was afraid that if he moved, he would wake him up, so he yawned silently. Wang Xiujin narrowed his eyes and decided to lie down for a while.In a daze, Wang Xiujin didn't know how long he squinted for a long time, whether he was asleep or half asleep, when he heard someone talking, he turned over with difficulty, opened his eyes barely, saw Li Sushan was looking at him, and wrinkled slightly Eyebrow, "Are you awake? What time is it?"

"Just now, my little dad sent someone over to deliver a message. There was something in the shop. He was in a hurry, so he didn't have breakfast at home." Li Sushan's voice was still hoarse after a deep sleep.

"Oh." Wang Xiujin was not too sober, so he responded casually, and got up while yawning. He still has something to do today, and Li Sushan was promoted to the general army and had to go to the barracks. The two are not idle people , It's better to get up early to have a meal and busy with work. Although the bed is really attractive, you can't delay your business because you want to sleep in.

After breakfast, the two said goodbye at the gate of the General's Mansion, and went to their own business.Wang Xiujin went to the grain shop first, without the capable assistant Wang shopkeeper, Wang Xiujin had to go to the grain shop in person to rest assured. After coming out of the grain shop, he went to the oil shop after lunch at Sister Liu's snack department. The oil shop was as busy as ever Then, I chatted with the manager about the production. Wang Xiujin felt that he would not build another oil mill by himself in the future, so he mentioned to the manager to use soybeans to extract oil. The manager immediately said that he would post a notice to collect beans.Wang Xiujin thought for a while, and said all the crops he knew that could be used for oil extraction, "We should build a production line specially used for experiments to verify which of these crops produces more oil, and can produce different types respectively. distinguish."

The person in charge didn’t understand at first, and after thinking for a while, he understood what Wang Xiujin meant. He quickly said that he should, and immediately set up a production line for verification, “If it is confirmed that these crops can extract oil, oil mills in various places can distribute it. Two types of oil are the main products, and high-priced oil can be processed additionally.”

"That's right." Wang Xiujin nodded. He thought more about things than he did. He didn't even think about the division of labor in the workshops in various places. It has to be said that the wisdom of the ancients was quite amazing, but because of the environment and education, they could only be limited to One world, if they change to another environment, maybe the names of inventors and scientists who have left a list in the history of the world will be replaced by others.

Leaving from the oil workshop, Wang Xiujin couldn't help sighing. He didn't have the ability to overthrow the feudal rule and change the dynasty. The only thing he could do was to infiltrate slowly through education bit by bit. If he could change something, it would be a good thing.Wang Xiujin thought about things all the way, and when he arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, he was almost startled by the posture in front of the gate.There were a lot of carriages parked at the gate of the General's Mansion, and as the owner, he almost couldn't return home. Fortunately, the gatekeeper at the gate was sharp-eyed, otherwise he would have to wait to enter the house.

"A banquet in the mansion?" Wang Xiujin stepped into the door and looked at the guard.

"Young master Jin, no, these people are all here to look for you." The gatekeeper replied swiftly.Wang Xiujin was at a loss, looking for him?Are you kidding me? He hasn't been promoted yet. Why are you looking for him?When I asked the gatekeeper, the gatekeeper only said that these people were relatives of the emperor, and they dared not stop them.Wang Xiujin was even more strange.

Walking out of the main hall, Wang Xiujin saw that the old man was chatting with the royal relatives. Wang Xiujin stepped forward a few steps and saluted the visitors. There was nothing he could do. Even if these royal relatives had no power or official position, they were lucky enough to be reincarnated into the royal family. They are destined to be superior.When the royal relatives saw the people who were waiting for them, they didn't act pretentious or put on a show. They directly explained their intentions. They wanted to send their sons and grandsons to study in Xinlou Academy.

Wang Xiujin was stunned when he heard the request from the royal relatives. What was the situation? He had thought about many possibilities all the way from the entrance to the main hall, but he never thought that they would make this request.Wang Xiujin quickly came to his senses, how could he dare to respond to this matter, some people have already been annoyed by accepting the prince's son and concubine to study in the school, if he accepts his son and grandson again, it is estimated that those who join him will be able to bury the emperor.Besides, the sons and grandsons of these imperial relatives seem to be able to have a special place to study like the princes and grandsons, so they don't need to go to the new building to suffer.

The royal relatives also knew that even if Wang Xiujin agreed to this matter, it would be useless, and that person in the palace needed to nod and order.They came here just to say hello and to see what kind of person Wang Xiujin is.Although I have seen it several times before, it is not as good as coming up close.The reason why the royal relatives proposed to let the sons go to the school is because they saw the changes in the sons. Standing together with the sons, they are stronger than the sons alone. Although the sons are all children, but in these people There is still a distinction in your heart, let the concubine overwhelm the concubine?Absolutely not.

If Wang Xiujin knew the hearts of these imperial relatives, he would definitely say that it is fortunate that he did not bully the concubine in order to elevate the concubine because of the change of the concubine.Wang Xiujin thought too much. If this matter were changed to a big mansion, it might happen, but it is not easy to happen in the royal family.

Seeing off the royal family, Wang Xiujin couldn't help feeling a little worried.Old General Li didn't think much of it, so he comforted his daughter-in-law, "This is a good thing. I think your school is good. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent all the children there. I heard that there are still many officials' children who want to Send it to the school, but the school doesn't accept it."

Wang Xiujin rubbed his nose, "The school wasn't open to the public originally, so I never thought it would cause so many things." It was more and more different from the original intention.

"You don't have to worry about it. Whether it's OK or not won't be decided by the royal relatives who come and talk about it. It depends on the emperor's nod and decree. After all, the royal family's academy can't be used as a display." The old man understood clearly. If this matter is not done well, it will really meet the wishes of the royal family. He remembered that some time ago, when discussing coastal defense in the palace, the emperor mentioned the school and praised it again and again. ...The old man didn't dare to think about it, let alone say it. If he made a mistake, it wouldn't make the younger generation worry in vain.

Thinking about what the old man said, Wang Xiujin felt that it made sense, so he put the matter aside, wentssiping with the old man, and was rushed by the old man to change clothes.Back in the yard, I saw Li Sushan reading a book. After Wang Xiujin hurriedly changed his clothes, he drank two cups of tea, "Wait to fight?"

"Why do you think of boxing?" Li Sushan put down the book.

"I feel that my health is too poor and I need to practice hard." Wang Xiujin was thinking about Xiao Jiujiu. After returning to Beijing, he and Li Sushan had nothing to do. Firstly, he looked tired, and secondly, Li Sushan was a little busy.When he broke into the yard today, he had a bad premonition. In order to prevent himself from being unable to get out of bed tomorrow, Wang Xiujin decided to find other ways to let Li Sushan vent his excess energy. As for whether it will be useful, I can only ask God .
