[Comprehensive classics] I build a dynasty in the book

In Lin's study, Lin Ruhai was sitting behind the desk. On the desk was a blueprint with a strange figure drawn on it. He leaned over the table and carefully observed the figure.

This was what Lin Yuzhou saw when he came in.

"Come here." Sensing Lin Yuzhou's arrival, Lin Ruhai waved at him: "This is the drawing you gave to the Ministry of Industry? What is this for?"

Lin Yuzhou walked up to Lin Ruhai, and he was a little surprised when he saw the blueprint: "The blueprint is in father's hands. Could it be that the Ministry of Industry has already made the things on it?"

After sitting at the desk for a long time, Lin Ruhai straightened up, tapped his back, and replied, "It's done. I saw the finished product. What's the use of this weird thing?"

"It's called a steam engine. Whether it can be used or not needs to be tested. As for what it does, it is too complicated to explain. When it is put into use, my father will naturally know." Lin Yuzhou is very relieved that the Ministry of Industry has a group of knowledgeable crafts An outstanding craftsman, which made his and Ji Shengyan's plan much smoother.

Lin Yuzhou's words made Lin Ruhai even more confused. Just as he was about to ask again, he heard him say again: "But I can tell my father, this thing can change the entire Ji Dynasty."

These words made Lin Ruhai's heart tense, as long as anything that can change the country, if it is not handled properly, it will bring bloody storms.

Lin Ruhai asked seriously: "What is this?"

Lin Yuzhou was silent. Before Ji Shengyan fully grasped the situation, the steam engine would not be put into use. Explaining too much at this time would only increase Lin Ruhai's troubles.

In Lin Yuzhou's heart, Lin Ruhai is a rare open-minded person, but even so, the four peoples are divided, and this kind of thinking is deeply rooted in Lin Ruhai's heart, not to mention those outside who believe that "everything is inferior but only reading is high" The pedantic literati are gone, and the transformation of thinking is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

He became an official through the imperial examination. Along the way, he realized more clearly that there is still a lot of preparation to be done if he wants to carry out reforms without bloodshed.

The economic base determines the superstructure. This is not empty talk. The Ji Dynasty is a large agricultural country, and farmers account for more than half of the country's population. This is why he and Ji Shengyan put agriculture as the top priority at this stage.

Lin Yuzhou's silence made Lin Ruhai frown, but he did not continue to ask. To him, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the prince's plan. The changes in the Ministry of Industry let him see the prince's determination to reform the six departments. , and it is definitely not just the six parts that the prince wants to change.

"My father has seen the changes in the Ministry of Industry. No matter what plans you have, you must not damage the foundation of the country."

Lin Yuzhou nodded and said, "Don't worry, father, son understands."

Lin Ruhai sighed, and put away the blueprints. When his son grows up, he has his own thoughts. All he can do is let him go and let his son fly freely.Thinking about it, he glanced at Lin Yuzhou. The children came to collect debts. For the sake of the Lin family and the children, he couldn't rest.

Lin Yuzhou was puzzled by Lin Ruhai's unpredictable expression, and asked, "Father?"

Lin Ruhai put away his thoughts, changed the subject and asked him, "Did you see Jia's family at night?"

Lin Yuzhou nodded: "Cousin Jia Zhen hosted a banquet for Tang Yangrong, who happened to be in Huiyaju."

Lin Ruhai understood: "Did you let him go?"

Lin Yuzhou chuckled: "Mutual benefit."

Lin Yuhai sighed: "The Rongguo Mansion is going to build the Xingqin Bieyuan, and the Ningguo Mansion will definitely participate in it. The two of them are now empty inside. The Bieyuan is built, and I'm afraid it will hurt the muscles and bones."

When Lin Yuzhou thought of Jia Mu's face, he thought of the scene in the original book. "Although my mother asked me to send some money to the Rongguo Mansion, it's just a drop in the bucket. I guess my grandmother will still pay attention to Yu'er."

Lin Ruhai shook his head and smiled and said: "You underestimate your mother. She grew up in the Duke's Mansion, so she knows how to deal with it. Don't take everything on yourself. You need to know that your family is you. Your reliance is not your shortcoming."

Lin Yuzhou listened to these words, and it was also because of his demonic barrier, the situation in the original book has long since disappeared, and the current Lin family is not one that the Jia family dares to move at will, and they dare not offend the Lin family because of the noble concubine in the palace.

"Okay, you can go back."

Lin Yuzhou bowed to Lin Ruhai and left the study.

Lin Cong walked beside Lin Yuzhou with a lantern. Tonight was a rare good day. The night sky was full of stars and the Milky Way was gorgeous. Lin Yuzhou looked up and saw a shooting star streaking across the sky.

Lin Cong hurriedly made a wish, Lin Yuzhou listened carefully, and found that the little fat man's wish was to make Xiao Hua stop thinking about him being fat, and promised to marry him tomorrow.

Oh, Lin Yuzhou raised his eyebrows, he can now tell Lin Cong with certainty that it is impossible to make a wish on a shooting star, at least his wish cannot be fulfilled.Just when he was gloating and preparing to ridicule his little book boy, he saw the old mother waiting at the end of the road.

It was the old nanny next to Mrs. Lin Lai, holding a bunch of portraits in her arms, looking at Lin Yuzhou cheerfully.

Lin Yuzhou suddenly had a headache. He looked up at the sky, wondering if there was still time to make a wish to his family without urging him to get married?

"Brother, these portraits were sent by the matchmakers in the morning. The old lady asked you to take a look. Don't worry about choosing them slowly. It doesn't matter if you don't like them. She still has them over there."

Lin Yuzhou twitched the corners of his mouth, Lin Cong took the portraits over, and burst out laughing.

The old nanny left cheerfully, Lin Yuzhou turned around and kicked Lin Cong, feeling that this was the retribution of the world.

Early the next morning, Lin Yuzhou and Lin Ruhai went to the morning court one by one, and went to work in the Hanlin Academy the other. After they left, Jia Min took Lin Daiyu to greet Mrs. Lin.

The Lin family doesn't have a rule of morning and evening. Jia Min brought Lin Daiyu to see Mrs. Lin this time because she was "ill" and their mother and daughter needed to "serve sick".

Mrs. Lin put her arms around Lin Daiyu and said to Jia Min who was sitting at the bottom: "No matter what the people over there say, just say that I'm sick and I can't leave Yu'er."

Jia Min bowed her head: "Daughter-in-law understands."

"Don't blame me. I'm happy for her to have a noble concubine, but I don't like their family's style, and I also heard that the second master of their family, who can't make a fortune, also likes it." Hanging out in the backyard, their family doesn't care, but my family cares, what if Yu'er's reputation is damaged in the past?"

Jia Min was a little embarrassed. The relationship between her and Mrs. Lin was so-so, so she had to make fun of her now.

"Grandmother." Lin Daiyu diverted the old lady Lin's attention, "My brother gave Yu'er a book, which wrote the method of making fragrances. Grandma will try it with Yu'er, okay?"

"Okay, I need something, let the mother prepare it, and the grandmother is also young again, and accompany Yu'er to make the essence."

The grandparents and grandchildren talked and laughed cheerfully. Seeing this, Jia Min took Mammy Liu back to her courtyard.Her natal family didn't live up to expectations, and she was ridiculed by her mother-in-law, so she could only bear it. Fortunately, she had two filial children.

Nanny Liu stacked the account books that Jia Min wanted to see and sent them to the tea table beside the couch. After finishing, she poured tea for Jia Min and fiddled with the charcoal fire in the brazier.

Jia Min flipped through two pages of the account book and said, "March is almost over, and there is sun in the daytime, so don't worry about this charcoal fire."

"Ma'am, it's still cold in the morning. You're cold, so you should be more careful." Nanny Liu put a charcoal cover on the brazier and returned to Jia Min: "When the sun comes out, move it out."

Jia Min put the account books back on the coffee table, took a sip of tea from a teacup, "I heard that the family's yard is already under construction?"

"About yes, I heard a report from an outsider that Ningguo Mansion has a major project recently. It is said that the walls and pavilions of Huifang Garden will be demolished, and that land will be merged into the Xingqin Bieyuan in the East Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion."

Nanny Liu had stayed in Jia's house for more than ten years, so she was very clear about the structure of the Ningrong Second Mansion.

"Hehe." Jia Min rubbed her nails and said with a smile: "My eldest brother is a master who is used to having fun, and my second brother is a character who doesn't care about anything. The task of building another garden will definitely fall into the hands of Ningguo Mansion. Nephew Jia Zhen is a master who doesn’t see rabbits and doesn’t scatter eagles, and this Provincial Bieyuan occupies the land of Ningguo Mansion, so he has to make money in it.”

"Madam, this has nothing to do with us. Who cares about them?"

"Irrelevant?" Jia Min looked up at Nanny Liu, "I asked brother Yao to send over 10 taels of silver note, which was the dowry when I married into the Lin family, and now it is converted into silver and returned to the Jia family. If my mother still loves me, she will know what I mean."

Nanny Liu didn't know how to persuade her for a while, the separation of mother and daughter is the most painful, and Jia Min is going through this.

"Mother, why do you have such an expression?" Jia Min chuckled: "I have long since given up my expectations. A family-friendly garden would cost at least a million or more to build. What would mother's choice be? It's easy to guess, but I only have one daughter, whoever dares to hurt her, I will fight with my life."

"Mrs……"

Jia Min reached out and interrupted Mammy Liu's comforting words, and she picked up the account book again to read it.After a while, the little maid's report came from outside the door.

"Ma'am, the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion in Nan'an sent two posts."

Jia Min looked up: "Bring it in."

The little maid lifted the curtain and walked to Jia Min with the invitation.

Jia Min took the invitation and looked it over. Nan'an County Prince's Mansion is going to hold a peach blossom banquet. This is their invitation, but what makes her puzzled is why they want to give Yu'er a separate invitation?

"Is there anything else?" Seeing that the little girl was still staying where she was, Jia Min asked.

"Mrs. Lai from Rongguo Mansion is here, saying she is here to pick up the girl and stay for a few days."

Jia Min handed the invitation to Nanny Liu, leaned on the soft couch, rubbed her forehead and said, "Go back to Nanny Lai and say that the old lady is not feeling well and needs Yu'er to take care of her. She's going to see the old lady."

Mrs. Lin is not her. If Nanny Lai dares to sell her old lady in front of Mrs. Lin, she will definitely be humiliated with ridicule. In the future, she may not even dare to enter the door of Lin's residence.
