Jia Cong, the God of Dancing Through the Red Mansion

The two of them slept very soundly this time, and they didn't wake up one after another until it was getting dark.

After eating dinner in a good mood, Jia Cong returned to the bedroom, stretched his body, and did a few movements to relax his body. He was considering whether to go home and have a look.

Someone brought in a half-person-high object from Tuli's side. It was covered with a piece of brocade, and its shape could not be seen. It felt a bit like a half-length screen.

Just when I was about to ask, I suddenly remembered what Fei had said, and I had a guess in my heart, "You really made it, or is it this big?"

Tu Su laughed "haha", full of complacency in that laughter, walked to the mirror with Jia Cong's shoulders, stretched out his hand and tore off the brocade.

Jia Cong took a closer look. Although there were still some water marks on it, it was much better than the bronze mirror.

"Can mirrors like this be mass-produced now?"

Tufu shook his head, "Such a big glass is difficult to make, and it is easy to break if you are not careful, but a smaller mirror is easier." Tufu compared it with his hands, it was about the size of rice paper.

Jia Cong was a little speechless, such a big one is already hard to come by, okay? I have only been in contact with it for half a year, and I can achieve this level. It really deserves to be a craftsman of my mother. Those foreigners are really incomparable!

"Is the prince ready for mass production now?"

"Yes, you also know that the frontier is unstable and the national treasury is relatively empty, so of course the more money the better."

Jia Cong knew the emperor and his difficulties, but he didn't agree with their approach, "If it were me, I would definitely not mass-produce this thing now."

Tu Su raised his eyebrows, although he didn't know what this guy was thinking, but he knew that he was never aimless, "If my guess is right, maybe after knowing the raw materials and craftsmanship of this thing, although the prince feels It’s a novelty, but you don’t regard it as a precious object, or a rare treasure, right?”

Tu Su didn't think so much before, when he heard Jia Cong say that, he subconsciously wanted to refute, but after seeing Jia Cong's eyes that said "you don't even dare to admit this", he was provoked and really thought about it.

The more he thought about it, the deeper his frown, as if subconsciously, he really didn't regard this thing as a rare thing, even when the price was set, it wasn't expensive. It is estimated that [-]% of the people in Dajing can buy it .

Even this is just the price at the beginning, and now the output can't increase to order such a high price. His real thought is that the cost of this product is so low, even ordinary people should be able to afford it.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his idea, but Jia Cong obviously had his own ideas, pursed the corners of his lips, and asked, "Brother Cong, what's on your mind, don't hesitate to say it."

Jia Cong smiled, walked to the chair beside the desk and sat down, motioning for Tu Su to bring him a cup of tea.

With that arrogant look, I really want someone to rub his soft hair twice, ahem, hold back first, now I have something to ask for, let's see how I can deal with him later!

He personally cooked a cup of his favorite Mengding Ganlu for Brother Cong.

Speaking of which, the way of drinking tea here is still following Brother Cong. In the past, when making tea, people always followed the tea scriptures "If the tea is the most tender, steam it, then heat it and pound it", and then add the crushed powder Various seasonings such as salt and ginger are put together and boiled to "eat".

That taste is evil... When Jia Cong saw it for the first time, not to mention eating it, even smelling it, he couldn't stand it, and even felt a faint heartache in his heart. Such a good tea, such clear water, It's such a waste, it's really ~ violent waste ~ be careful of retribution!

Based on this, the first thing Jia Cong did after becoming independent was to get some fresh tea buds and process them using some techniques of later generations. At least the entrance is still ok.

After this kind of tea entered Jia She's mouth, he still thought that he could persuade his father to set up a tea house in the south to make some money, but he didn't think that he was thinking too well. Tea in this era is as good as salt and iron. A precious thing is dictatorship by the imperial court, how can it be so easy to buy a tea mountain!

So for many years, I can only make some tea buds every year to drink by myself, and by the way, I will give some to others.

Since he often came to Zhongshun Prince's Mansion, he was supported by Tu Su, and now there are special people who make filial piety according to his method every year, which saves him the trouble of doing it himself.

He pretended to have a sip of tea, admired Tu Sui's rare obedience for a while, and realized that going too far was too late, and then he expressed his thoughts, "Nowadays, there are not many craftsmen who can make glass, especially glass mirrors, so I want to produce A lot of things are also impossible, and it is better to make only a few noodles in a small amount besides the ones for home use, and it doesn’t need to be too big.”

Jia Cong gestured to the size of one or two palms, "I believe that if this thing is sold to the royal families of neighboring small countries or overseas, it will definitely fetch a sky-high price.

During this period, people can use glass to concentrate on making some decorations, such as flowers and trees and bonsai. Presumably these things will look good in the relative gardens built for ladies in various governments. "

Tu Su's mind is flexible, and he didn't think about it before. Jia Cong's words seemed to open a door for him, and he suddenly thought of a lot, "At least in five to ten years, the glass products We should strictly control the output."

Jia Cong nodded with a smile. He also felt that it should be so. Although he may earn less temporarily, it can get rid of the problem of too many production staff that is not conducive to confidentiality during mass production. The mirror craft stays in their hands for a while.

It is very beneficial to long-term planning. Moreover, after five to ten years, even if the formula and process are leaked out, they will not be afraid anymore. With such a long leading period, they will be able to achieve what others have and what others have. With me, it's a good deal no matter what.

The two whispered for a while, and listed out the general plan for the future. Jia Cong also drew a few styles of vanity mirrors for his reference.

Tufu still needs to communicate with the emperor. After all, this thing belongs to them in name. In fact, it is only the [-]% profit promised to Jia Cong that can really enter the pockets of the two. The other Tufu thinks It's hard to tell apart.

The emperor is so worried about money that he is almost crazy. Those who rob others have to worry about their reputation, and when they are in a hurry to eat, they have to hang up the fig leaf, but those who take their own brother have no such worries at all, just one sentence What's yours is mine!

This plan was presented to the emperor by Tu Su after the early [-]th Dynasty. Tu Rui did not expect that Jia Cong would give him such a big surprise when he came out of the examination room a day earlier, and then thought of the papers that this little guy had before. Looking forward to the next third exam.

Called Su Jiu over, "Go to the Gong Yuan and tell Han Zhiwen that once Jia Cong handed in the papers, he will send them over in person immediately."

"Yes, the slave will go now!"

The emperor nodded to him, then turned to Tu Su and asked, "Are you getting along well this time?" Seeing that his younger brother didn't answer, but there was a smile on the corner of his eyes and eyebrows, he knew it should be pretty good, " The exam is coming to an end soon, next month is the palace exam, do you know which department he likes?"

The emperor's words already pointed out that Jia Cong will definitely be able to pass high school this time. He has already stayed in the Imperial Academy for a while and still went to give lectures, so there is no need to go there again, but at his age, Tu Rui is really I don't know where to put him. Although he prefers the Ministry of Households or the Ministry of Industry, it's okay to ask before making sure.

Tu Su was stunned for a moment when he heard the emperor's words. He really asked this question, but now he didn't know how to answer it. He naturally knew what his brother's thoughts were, and he could understand it, but Jia Cong was really a little confused. Wonderful!

After hesitating for a while, he still gritted his teeth and said to Tu Rui, "Brother Emperor, Brother Cong once mentioned that he wanted to go to Qin Tianjian or the Ministry of Rites."

"What a nonsense!" This little guy obviously has a lot of hills in his chest, how could he be so unsuspecting, Qin Tianjian or the Ministry of Rites?

Can he pinch and count, or is he thinking about retirement at a young age?

"You'd better persuade him to stop thinking about it, let him stay in front of the imperial court for a while after the palace test, and then I will make arrangements for him."

"Brother Huang." Tu Su really wanted to win over Jia Cong again.

The emperor didn't want to hear it anymore, and waved his hand downwards, "I think that plan is not bad, you should arrange someone to do it earlier." This is direct expulsion!

Knowing that Brother Huang's decision had been made and there was no room for change, Tu Fu stopped talking, thinking that this could be regarded as helping Brother Cong to ask, and thinking about it, even if he failed to fulfill his wish in the future, he wouldn't be able to blame himself !

There are two policy questions in the third round of the test, one about salt administration and one about water conservancy.

These are all important matters related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. If ordinary candidates have not come into contact with it by chance, no one has the level to express their opinions on these two matters. The previous general examinations will not use this as an examination topic, but as an assessment for officials. The topic is more or less the same.

Unlike other people who racked their brains and scratched their heads, Jia Cong still wrote like a god, and handed in the exam papers the next day, NO.16, in the morning.

He didn't know that the dossier for the last exam had arrived at the imperial court, and when he went out this time, he still pretended to have a stomachache. Jia Cong didn't know that his little trick had already been seen through, and when he handed in the paper, he felt that the examiner was looking at him There is always something ambiguous in his eyes.

Except for the few days of the exam, the Master Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites seems to have never seen him before, and his expression does not seem to have a rift with him. Why does it feel so strange?

Jia Cong couldn't figure it out here, but he didn't know that he had just left the gate of the Gongyuan, and before the carriage got on, Master Han Shangshu had already resigned from the examiners and walked towards the imperial city alone with his people.

Half an hour later, in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, Tu Rui and Tu Sui held a paper and were reluctant to let it go. Han Zhiwen, who was holding back because he had delivered the paper, couldn't grab the emperor and prince, so he could only pretend to be honest, thinking about this After the two of them finished reading, they could let him take a look.

He didn't wait in vain. Jia Cong's paper this time was not as thin as last time. Instead, he wrote more than three or four papers for each policy question. I drew a detailed drawing. Although there are no dimensions marked on the drawings of the Ministry of Industry, it still allows people to know what this thing looks like at a glance.

Seeing such an examination paper for the first time, Tu Rui was so novel and excited, he naturally thought that someone would be able to discuss it. That's all Cong's, or else he would have found a reason to slip away after knowing that the man had left the examination room.

"Your Majesty, is this sun-dried salt method true? Will the salt produced be several times higher than boiled salt? Can this reservoir really work? And can planting trees and grass along the river really slow down the Yellow River's continued diversion?" Finally Han Zhiwen, who had obtained the right to read the papers, was both surprised and suspicious. These things were really unbelievable. He couldn't believe that they had never been verified before, and it was done by a young man.

Even though those pictures were so real, even though he actually believed it in his heart, he still blurted out doubtful words.

Tu Rui felt that he was choked, and he wanted to ask these things, okay? Why is this person joining in the fun?

"I don't care if it's true or not, don't talk about it for the time being, and I'll put the paper here first." Tu Rui finally figured out that he really didn't find the right person to discuss these things with a minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Han Zhiwen agreed, but remembered something again, "Then what is Jia Cong's ranking?"

"Give him a place in the top ten!" Tu Rui thought for a while before saying.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Rong Chen resigns!"

After Han Zhiwen left, Tu Rui read the paper several times, feeling joyful and worrying at times, but finally he sighed, "Fortunately, fortunately!"

Jia Cong knew that the few papers this time would definitely cause a sensation, but he didn't care much.

There are two most dangerous things in this feudal dynasty, one is reform and the other is rebellion. No matter how much credit you have for reform and how great it is recorded in history books, it is only because it violates the interests of most people in the world. It can only end up with ten deaths and no life.

As for the rebellion, it is the winner and the loser, the probability of good or bad depends on the situation at the time!

His two policy questions have nothing to do with these two items, they just come up with a few ideas. Although they are amazing, and although they will subvert the interests of some people, there can only be more profits. After thinking about it Actually, it doesn't do him any harm.

Today, he is dedicated to the people of the world. Although his methods are a bit harsh, he is not intolerable, so he is not worried about becoming too famous in the future. Having a child, the emperor must have nothing to worry about!

However, if this is the case, why does it seem to be a loss?Moreover, Dad will also be sad, presumably it should not be difficult for Dad to accept the matter between him and Tu Sui, but it is not difficult to accept that he has no family and no descendants. In his previous life, he was also one of them, but in This era is somewhat shocking.

Hey, we haven't reached that point yet, let's talk about it later.

Jia Cong has another big thing on his mind right now. He overheard two examinees calling each other's words yesterday, and then he remembered that neither father nor husband thought of picking a word for him. !

This is too irresponsible!

The general examination was finally over, and when he returned home, Jia Cong received a warm reception, but he directly dragged his father, husband, and Jia Lian who followed him to the front study.

"Father, sir, I just remembered that I have taken part in the general examination, and I didn't even get a single word!"

Jia Amnesty was stunned at that moment, he still wants to give his son a name?

Mr. Qiao looked at his student, then at the stupid Jia She next to him, and sighed. He hadn't forgotten it, but this student had a father and brother, and he knew a few noble people in a serious way, so he never thought about it. If he intervened in this matter, who told him that although he was called a master and had a good reputation outside, it was only for his fame!

Jia Lian on the other side was even more aggrieved when he heard Jia Cong's words, "My brother is only here, my brother and son are already there, isn't there a word?" After finishing speaking, he stared straight at Jia She.

He used to see Jia She as like a mouse seeing a cat. In the past two years, because he got along a lot, and Jia Cong was standing beside him, it was much better, especially when he occasionally sided with Jia Cong. The son followed Jia Amnesty and complained a few words, both true and false.

After hearing what he said, Jia Amnesty only rolled his eyes, "You're stuck at home all day, how can you use any words!"

In one sentence, Jia Lian almost turned into a roaring horse, and really wanted to grab the master's neck and shout, "Why didn't you see something about me? Could it be that your son and my hard work in the past two years have not caught your eyes?" "However, it's okay to complain, but he dare not ask such a question, so, after hearing what his father said, he can only keep silent and shrink to the side to pretend to be a quail.

Fortunately, he didn't ask, otherwise, just wait for Jia Amnesty's sneer, Jia Lian has been really promising in the past two years, and he has really made him turn over the dowry left by his wife with all his heart. Fan, but so what, let alone comparing with the younger son, even with him, there is no way to compare, at least he has a real job now!

Seeing that the elder son was being pushed down, Jia Shen didn't look very happy. He stretched out his hand and grabbed a few handfuls on his chin. This is really a big problem. The younger son is so amazing that he is so beautiful. Two inks, what if it gets damaged?

He looked up at Mr. Qiao, but Mr. Qiao was also worried about this aspect. He really wanted to give Jia Cong a word related to painting, but he thought that this student was also excellent in other aspects, so he didn't want to delay him like this. .

Stroking the beard under his chin, he thought of a few words, but he quickly rejected them all, and shook his head, "I'm not satisfied here, Brother Enhou should take more care. "

"Cong is Ruiyu, a sacrificial vessel, what do you think is called Yanrui?"

"Hey!" Mr. Qiao sighed, and said helplessly, "The meaning is quite appropriate, but why do you always forget your name?"

Oh, their family is too far away from the emperor. Jia She really forgot the current name Rui for a while, but it has the same pronunciation and different characters, and there are still taboos when reading it.

But this word is the most suitable for Jia Cong's name, which two words should I choose if I give up this one?

The two thought about it for a long time, but they didn't come up with a word for Jia Cong. Jia Lian got it first, and his word Lian also had the meaning of ritual vessel and beautiful jade. In other words, in "Chu Ci" there is "Huaijin holding Yu", so Jia Lian simply used the word Jinyu.

It was taken by Mr. Qiao, and it can be seen from this that he still has a good impression of Jia Lian in his heart. Although he doesn't seem to have any great skills, his character is not faultless.

This word is always bestowed by a teacher or a respected elder, so Jia Cong left this labor-intensive work to his father and his husband with peace of mind. Apart from meeting Tu Su every day, the rest of the time he spent He had to prepare for the imperial examination, and he also had to participate in the literary meeting organized by some people who took the same exam. Every day was very fulfilling.

The author has something to say: (^o^)/~, the red envelope has been sent, have the little angels received it? ? ?
