The Lonely Family in the Red Chamber

Jia Amnesty enjoys this kind of very comfortable little trouble, but the other nobles don't have similar troubles. They just hate that there are not enough quotas, and there are not enough points for their own families!Wang Ziteng was unlucky, his family's title was gone long ago, this time naturally no place fell into his hands, so he had to find Jia Lian brazenly, Jia Lian respected this uncle, even though this uncle gave The support of the second room caused the big room to suffer a lot, but Jia Lian also got a lot of benefits from Wang Ziteng, so he had to go back to find Jia She. A quota was given to Wang Ren, and Wang Ziteng was also full of emotion.He is really devoted to the two girls, and he spends all day planning for them. He has seen that in the end, the two girls are born to collect debts. Not only can they not give him the convenience of in-laws, but they can only do it when he wants to wipe their ass. think of him.In the end, it was just a favor for the niece and son-in-law who had been bullied all the time, and he was the one who was willing to accept his favor.

Wang Ziteng has no expectations for his future now, and all his hopes are pinned on his son Wang Ren. Since the accident happened before, Wang Ren, who has always been a dude, has experienced a lot of coldness in the world. He has improved a little and can endure hardships , this time he was sent to the Royal Military Academy, at least he could become a student of the emperor, and he would have a bright future as a royal soldier.

After deciding on the general affairs, Tu Jingnian remembered that he still had a few so-called French envoys. He didn't care if they were true or not, so he summoned them and asked about the current situation in the West. After some situations, I told them bluntly that I need all kinds of Western academic books, as well as scholars of various disciplines. As long as they can get them, whether it is books or scholars, they will be exchanged for silk or porcelain of equal weight. .

According to Tu Jingnian, the silk porcelain that was exported before was just the lowest quality goods, and only ordinary people with a little money would wear them, while the high-end goods were generally used by the bureaucrats of the Jin Dynasty. What Tu Jingnian promised was the tribute, and what Tu Jingnian promised was the kind of silk porcelain that was used by the bureaucratic class in the Jin Dynasty.In addition to books and scholars, Dajin is also willing to introduce some grains, grasses and livestock unique to Europe. As long as they can get them, the price is easy to negotiate.

A few shabby settlers in Europe who were so poor that they were about to become pants were stunned by the sudden surprise, and it took a long time to come to their senses. For a while, they forgot the words they had learned before, and they just babbled without knowing what they said. Tu Jingnian didn't take it seriously, drank his tea alone, and listened with a smile to the joy of the few people over there.This is a business with no capital at all. They are all of noble origin and educated. Now in Europe, there is a deadlock between the church and those scholars. The discoveries of many scholars are undoubtedly shaking the foundation of the church. There is a great market among the lower classes. Therefore, except for a small number of those scholars who have been sheltered by some great nobles, the rest of their days are not very good. Some of them dare not say what they have discovered, for fear that they will be directly approached by the people of the court. , and sent them to the stake in the name of blasphemy.

In particular, they made a lot of money by going to the east this time. At that time, whether they lure them with money or directly kidnap them, they can easily recruit a group of people.Compared with the weight of people and books, silk is too light. These people can be regarded as having seen the world here, and they went to other silk and satin shops to see it. Except for some relatively heavy brocades, generally A large piece of silk is so light and fluffy, it seems that it can fly with a breath. If you get the silk of the same weight, it will be a lot of money!These guys who have nothing but money in their eyes have already rolled their eyes, thinking of trying to find a way to gain weight.

When those people left, Quan Fu saw that Tu Jingnian was in a good mood, and couldn't help laughing: "Why is the sage so kind to those foreign barbarians? I heard that Honglu Temple made some tea dregs. Make tea for them, and they almost mixed the tea powder with salt and ate it. If the sage wants some scholars from that state, he can recruit them with an imperial edict, so why bother?”

But Tu Jingnian said: "In the spring and Autumn period, there were still thousands of dollars to buy horse bones, let alone talents? Although these talents from foreign countries did not understand the Four Books and Five Classics, they were unique in investigating things and extending knowledge. This dynasty is short of such talents! To learn, one must learn from the strengths of all the families. If this dynasty wants to remain the kingdom of heaven and far surpass those foreign nations, it must be better than those countries in every aspect!"

Quan Fu felt that Tu Jingnian was thinking too far, but as a eunuch himself, that is, after following Tu Jingnian, he had read some books. In terms of knowledge, he was actually not very good. It's just loyalty, seeing what Tu Jingnian said, he just said: "What the sage said, the servant girl, an eunuch, doesn't understand. I only know that the sage is really far-sighted, and the servant girl is short-sighted. She only knows the things in front of her. But it is a great cause for thousands of years!"

Tu Jingnian was flattered by Quan Fu and smiled: "You know this, you are already much better than others, so what is your short-sightedness! When I am in heaven, I must have a tolerance for all rivers and rivers. What's the shame in learning from foreign races? Well, the sage also said that if three people walk together, there must be my teacher, not to mention the country! As for the matter of those barbarians, I don’t intend to let the court meddle. Don’t you have several fleets under your name, whichever fleet you want to call back to send those barbarians back, if they have any wrong intentions, then kill them, I have no shortage of people!” Tu Jingnian put it lightly, at his position, human life no longer has much meaning to him, what is stronger is nothing more than a name, what is worse is just a number.

During the New Year, the Royal Military Academy was formally established. Tu Jingnian and Emperor Chengqing attended the inauguration ceremony. Emperor Chengqing personally acted and inscribed the Royal Military Academy and engraved it on the gate. Tu Jingnian also published After giving a speech, he encouraged these students who were facing brand-new military training, and looked forward to the bright future, which made a group of brats stare with excitement.

Tu Jingnian is still very concerned about the Royal Military Academy. It is located in a valley in the Iron Net Mountain, and a large area has been cleared out. The school building and classrooms are two floors made of reinforced concrete. The small building and military supplies are all provided by the property under the name of Tu Jingnian.In fact, the art of war training is quite tricky these days, but to raise a group of strong soldiers, you need strong logistics capabilities. You can’t raise strong soldiers just by drinking porridge. Therefore, you need enough nutrition every day to support your high school Intensity training.The reason why Tu Jingnian wanted to abolish a large part of the old, weak and remnant soldiers was also to save money, and let them all eat, so how much supplies would be needed!Tu Jingnian did not engage in farming in his previous life, who knows what those pigs in later generations who can grow into one or two hundred catties in just a few months were fed.What's more, apart from the feed, the species are also different!

Therefore, everything needs to be done step by step, and one bite will not make you fat!Tu Jingnian has now researched chemical fertilizers and some common pesticides that are not very toxic and will not cause ecological problems. Zhengming people are cultivating grain seeds with relatively high yields by means of hybridization!Now these are just the first steps in his own first five-year plan.Tu Jingnian does not want to carry out too drastic reforms. The lessons of history prove that even if violent means are adopted, reforms that are too drastic and cannot cater to reality are doomed to fail. After failure, the old forces will usher in even more craziness The counterattack, because at that time, it is already opposing for the sake of opposing, and no one will pay attention to whether it is right or not!What Tu Jingnian needs to do is to pull more people into the car of the beneficiaries of the reform. When they benefit from it, they will be the most active opponents when they encounter those stubborn opponents.

Emperor Chengqing checked the logistics supplies that Tu Jingnian had prepared, and couldn't help but click his tongue. After returning to the palace, he asked Tu Jingnian how much money he would spend on the military academy a year.

Tu Jingnian had planned it long ago. The so-called fertilizer and water do not flow into outsiders' fields. These things are purchased from his own industries. Many of his own industries are now showing signs of overcapacity, such as cotton cloth. With the advent of textile machines, textile factories can produce tens of thousands of cotton cloths a day, most of which are fine cotton cloths, and the texture is almost the same as silk and satin. What's more, the factory also uses newly produced chemical dyes. The color of the cotton cloth is very bright, and it is not easy to fade. When it first came out, it was snapped up by many wealthy households in the south of the Yangtze River, and the textile factory naturally increased its production.

The problem is, the quality of this thing is so good, people who can afford this kind of clothes will naturally not be engaged in any manual labor, and the wear and tear on the material is very small. In the past, those silk clothes were almost half-new after being exposed to water. It is not old anymore, after two or three waters, it will almost fade to the point of being unwearable. Therefore, rich families have to make a few new clothes from inside to outside every season.However, the price of fine cotton cloth is higher than that of mid-end silk, but the problem is that this thing is durable, and unlike silk, it is easy to wrinkle without washing. In general, it is much more cost-effective than silk.This also led to the lack of stamina after a while, but the textile factory has added a lot of textile machines, and the output is too much, and they don't want to sell them at a lower price, so the profit will drop sharply. Therefore, before the market expands, it has to be temporarily backlogged and sold slowly. For those big families, if they don't purchase new materials every year, they will be talked about.

After Tu Jingnian heard about it, he directly purchased a large number of them at a price higher than the cost price, and asked them to make the fabric thicker and stronger, dye it in dark colors, and make four seasons according to the school uniform style provided by Tu Jingnian. Ready-made clothes and bed sheets and quilt covers are considered military purchases.As for the textile factory, Tu Jingnian also told people not to just focus on the high-end market. Although this seems to be very profitable, the rich are a minority after all, and ordinary people are the big ones.The small-scale peasant economy these days is self-sufficient. Ordinary people weave and wear their own cloth. The quality of homemade cloth is poor, it takes a long time, and there are no tricks. Therefore, the quality of development is relatively average, as long as it is better than homemade cloth All in all, the production of cotton cloth, which is more cost-effective than homemade cloth, can naturally impact the small-scale peasant economy to a large extent, liberating part of the female labor force to enter industrial production.

As for the others, the same is true. Tu Jingnian is now groping for large-scale farming. The large amount of rice, flour, oil, salt, eggs, meat, etc. consumed by the Military Academy every day, after all, are all produced from the Zhuangzi under the name of Tu Jingnian. Therefore, After all, it was just a little less money, and the internal treasury didn't cost too much, and even if there was a cost, it was made up from other places.

When Tu Jingnian told Emperor Chengqing about this, he only said that he opened this military academy by himself. At first, many ministers in the court opposed it. They were worried that military generals would overwhelm civil officials in the future. The department will go, and the trouble of corruption will be avoided.Although Emperor Chengqing was a little confused about the economic model that Tu Jingnian said before, he was relieved when he saw that Tu Jingnian said that the money was not much. He was afraid that his son would be brave and spend all the money in the internal treasury If you don't work well on other things, it will be troublesome.Therefore, after persuading Tu Jingnian again, telling him to take it easy and not to rush for quick success, he let Tu Jingnian go.

After sending Tu Jingnian away, Emperor Chengqing sighed: "Am I getting old and not as vigorous as before?" Cao Anping stayed aside afterwards, not knowing what to say for a moment.
