The Young Master of the Jia Family in the Red Chamber

The improvement of the steam engine is not completed after the test is successful. If it is to be popularized and used on a large scale, it needs to go through gradual trials.It’s just these things that have little to do with Jia Hu. All along, he has been mainly engaged in theoretical work, and it is the theory summed up by the predecessors. With the improvement of the theoretical knowledge of relevant personnel in the past two years, Mass indoctrination, the next step of the experimental process, he no longer needs to personally guide, or in other words, he has nothing to teach those craftsmen, so he retired.

Situ Yan greatly appreciated Jia Hu's actions, and praised him by name more than once.Because he clearly saw the changes that all these brought to this ancient empire.For this reason, he repeatedly increased the rewards for new inventors, and some ministers expressed dissatisfaction with this, saying that it was just some strange skills and tricks, not worthy of the saint's attention.Situ Yan rejected the brochures with such statements on the spot. Compared with the increase in crop production and the enhancement of weapon firepower brought about by those new inventions, he really didn't think those rewards were anything.

Some people also said that since the hydraulic loom was popularized, businessmen in Jiangnan and other places have opened a large number of textile factories, employing female workers to weave cloth, and in those factories, there are also male workers who do heavy work. should be strictly prohibited and vigorously punished.

Situ Yan didn't say anything when he heard the words, but Situ Jing asked back, if Daxia exports so much silk cloth overseas every year, can only women weave it at home? Only those textile factories equipped with hydraulic looms can do so output, otherwise the supply would have been in short supply.

When it came to currency issues, no one dared to speak up.At the beginning, as soon as Situ Yan came to the throne, he started a series of projects with great ambitions. He didn't even spend all the money accumulated by the Supreme Emperor. Barely support it.The sage is so aggressive, it’s not that no one has worried about going up. Didn’t Qin Shihuang and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in the past also want to do a big business, but the result was the death of Qin Dynasty and Sui Dynasty II? The sage insisted on this, be careful Repeat the mistakes of those two.

The Supreme Emperor is still alive, and his old man has no objection to his lavish son. The arguments of the courtiers are of no use. Fortunately, Situ Yan is not a copy of those two. With the emergence of new tools and the development of overseas trade in recent years, the state treasury The silver was refilled.

Only this time, Jia Hu clearly told Situ Yan that, unlike the previous appliances that were improved on the original basis, the steam engine can be used in a very wide range, such as smelting, weaving, machine manufacturing, etc., and he even proposed the concept of trains , I just don’t know if I can see it in my lifetime.Situ Yan had seen the trial of a steam engine, and was amazed at its propelling power. Therefore, he firmly believed in what Jia Hu said. Can travel all over the country.

At this time, there were less than four months before the Spring Festival in the eighth year of Yonghe. Situ Yan asked Jia Hu to leave alone and concentrate on picking up his homework. He had not formally entered the court, and it was not easy for him to give him some rewards.Jia Hu took the opportunity to suggest that Situ Yan should increase the entry channels for low-level officials.Because there are many people with expertise in learning, he may not be good at the Four Books and Five Classics. If they are rejected because of this, it will be a huge loss for the court.

Situ Yan pondered for a moment, and said that he had such an idea a long time ago, but when he proposed to increase the rewards for patent inventors, some people in the court would be dissatisfied. Under the current conditions, he couldn't afford to do this.

Jia Hu was distressed. The level of education popularization in this era is really not enough. Scholars are not proficient in miscellaneous trades. Those who are proficient in miscellaneous trades either have not read much or have poor academic performance. But these two kinds of people are needed by the court , how to reconcile their contradictions.

Jia Hu was still frowning, but Situ Jing came up with an idea, saying that there should be separate exams for those who are proficient in a certain field, for example, if the Ministry of Households needs to be proficient in mathematics, they will be recruited separately, and if the Ministry of Industry needs to understand hydraulic construction, they will also be tested separately. Then the recruited people are classified according to their ability and their treatment is determined, but no matter how high or low the treatment is, they are just officials, not officials, they only do things, regardless of people, and the dispute should be settled.

Jia Hu immediately realized that this is the difference between an officer and a non-commissioned officer in the modern army. The treatment of a sixth-level non-commissioned officer is equivalent to that of a regiment leader, but he is still a soldier. No matter how low the rank of a small platoon leader is, he is also an officer, with different functions and division of labor. Different, indeed a very good idea.

Situ Yan also felt that Situ Jing's argument was feasible, so he asked him to draw up a regulation by himself, and then sent them out.

Needless to say, Jia Hu will definitely follow Situ Jing to the East Palace. If he knows that he has entered the palace and doesn't go to see him, little friend Situ Rui will be angry.Situ Rui is Huanhuan's name, which was given by Situ Yan on his third birthday. Xixi's name is Lianyi, Situ Lianyi.In addition to their names, the twins also had their own titles. Situ Rui was the king of Yumin County, and Situ Lianyi was the lord of Jinxiu County.

But when Jia Hu arrived at the East Palace, before he had time to salute, Situ Rui's "Excuse me" came first, and then the little guy rushed over like a cannonball, and rushed straight into Jia Hu's arms.Situ Jing once said with gusto that his father's position was threatened. Situ Rui replied that it wasn't that he didn't want to hug him, but that he ran too fast last time and almost knocked Situ Yan down. Those who have practiced martial arts can catch him.Situ Jing looked at the sky speechlessly, but in his heart he expressed satisfaction with Situ Rui's closeness to Jia Hu.

Holding Situ Rui who was chattering and asking himself, Jia Hu glanced sideways at Situ Jing with a meaningful look.He knew that Situ Jing did it on purpose, or else it was his child, why would he have little contact with Situ Lianyi, the little girl is not yet old enough to avoid it.

But Situ Jing refused to admit it. He said that it was because he saved Situ Rui's life and broke a leg for him, so he got along with him.Jia Hu raised his eyebrows and smiled, and didn't ask any more questions. Situ Rui was only a little older, and without Situ Jing reminding him, he could remember who saved him.

Jia Hu knew why Situ Jing did this. He was afraid that he would be ahead of him in the future, so he wanted him to have a good relationship with the future emperor. Situ Lianyi is a daughter, and she will marry sooner or later, so there is no need for it. He understands everything.

"Rui'er, how old are you, why don't you go by yourself?" Seeing that Situ Rui threw himself into Jia Hu's arms and didn't intend to get off the ground, Situ Jing reminded lightly.The children of the royal family are sensible early. Situ Ruixu entered the palace school at the age of four, and he was very serious in studying and practicing martial arts. He was very imposing when he looked at the little county king in front of people, but he was still a bit childish in front of Situ Jing and Jia Hu.He was not afraid of being scolded by Situ Jing, so he just smiled and said, "Yongyu hasn't come to see me for a long time, let's hug me a little longer today." Just like Situ Jing, his name is also Jia Hu.

Jia Hu also chimed in and said, "That's right, I haven't seen Huanhuan for a long time, let's be more intimate today." After finishing speaking, Jia Hu winked at the little guy, since Situ Rui had a big name, Huanhuan's nickname is It's his exclusive, and Jia Hu is quite proud of it.

Situ Rui responded with a grimace, and Situ Jing was so angry that he walked to the front quickly, he really didn't want to see them messing with each other.Situ Jing is not jealous of his son, but he feels that he is sorry for Jia Hu. He and Ruier are both so good. If it were his own son, he would not know how he would like it, but it was because they were together that Jia Hu gave up. Marry a wife and have children, and even the ancestral title is going to be passed on to the nephew.

"Oh, daddy is angry, I'd rather not provoke him, go back to the study to do homework first." Situ Rui said as he struggled to get off Jia Hu, turned around and ran to his study, with a group of people chasing after him Shouting "His Royal Highness, you run slowly", it was lively.

Jia Hu shook his head with a smile, and continued to walk to Situ Jing's study room. This little guy is really getting smarter and smarter.

Situ Jing did not sit behind the desk, but leaned halfway on the kang under the flower window. When Jia Hu entered the door, he smiled and said, "Seeing how inseparable you are, I thought it would be a long time to be intimate." He said He patted the open space beside him, motioning for Jia Hu to sit down.

Jia Hu took advantage of the opportunity to sit down, and said with a slight smile, "Huanhuan went to do her homework, and she said she won't come in the afternoon." Situ Lianyi was even raised by the Empress Dowager Chu's side. Situ Jing usually went to see her, and rarely came back. They wanted to do something in the East Palace, and no one interfered at all.

Hearing the meaning of Jia Hu's words, Situ Jing lowered his voice and said, "It's still daytime..." It's not good to announce something during the day, even if there are all confidant eunuchs outside, Situ Jing always feels that this kind of thing It should be done at night when no one is around.

Jia Hu said helplessly: "Isn't it possible for me to be in the palace during the day?" They have been together for more than two years, except for a trip to another courtyard last autumn, which time it was not during the day, and the key will be released in the palace at night, Jia Hu But dare not stay, the consequences of being discovered are really terrible.

Situ Jing just complained casually, and he was very cooperative with what Jia Hu was going to do. It only happens once every three or two months, so don't be too picky.

After Yun Tingyu rested, Situ Jing hugged Jia Hu and did not let go, and said sternly: "You go home and study your homework, and you must pass the exam next year."

"How about passing the exam? Can you propose a marriage to the saint?" Jia Hu sat up and put her hands on Situ Jing's, unwilling to let go.

Situ Jing was speechless. He thought he was a princess and wanted to propose a marriage. After a long while, he said, "When you pass the Jinshi examination, I will let you and Su Yi be Rui'er's teachers." Situ Jing thought for a long time, I think my idea is good. Situ Rui is young, and he is only the king of the county. Su Yi and Jia Hu's words are enough to teach him. When he ascends to the throne of God in the future, the status of emperor teacher can't be more secure for Jia Hu of.

"It seems that I need to work harder." Jia Hu let go of Situ Jing's hand, got up and began to get dressed.Su Yi is Situ Rui, uncle, and the number one student in Lianzhong Liuyuan. It is not surprising that he is a teacher for the king of the small county. Situ Jing insists on taking her with him, so he can't understand his intentions.Su Yi will be the uncle of the country in the future, it doesn't matter if he is the emperor's teacher or not, but he is different, Situ Jing is really thoughtful of him.
