Ancient Fortune Records

"Your Majesty, this product is non-toxic and is no different from ordinary food."

The emperor would definitely not eat the food sent by Shen Li, so he asked someone to try it, and then he took out a corn cob and prepared to eat it. Next to him was Empress Miao, who ate much better than Emperor Xuan. With a silver spoon, scrape off the corn kernels, put them on the glass cup and hand them to Empress Miao, who only scooped up half a spoonful and tasted them briefly.

"How? Isn't it much better than the wild vegetable pancakes we ate when we were marching?"

Empress Mu nodded, it was indeed better than that, it was sweet and sweet, but where did it come from?She asked directly.

"This is called corn. It is said that you only need one seed, and you can get a bunch of it in your bowl. You can get nearly [-] catties of corn in one mu of land. It is not impossible to plant a thousand catties well. Moreover, it is said that this thing You don’t need to choose a place to grow, even if there is less rain, you can still grow.” Emperor Xuan said, looking at the things in his hand.

Empress Miao was shocked: "Then this, isn't it the food of the gods? An acre of rice is only three hundred catties."

Emperor Xuan laughed heartily: "It is not an exaggeration to say that it is divine food! Today in the court, I ordered people to boil the corn sent by Shen Li, and sent it to the ministers to eat. They all seemed to have eaten something. It's like a delicacy, and I told them the benefits of this thing, saying that it was my blessing to bless Dazhao! Although I know that they are flattering, but why do these words sound so comfortable?"

Empress Miao pursed her lips and smiled: "Your Majesty is indeed blessed with profound blessings. How does Your Majesty plan to deal with such divine food?"

"Plant, accumulate seeds, and distribute them to the people of the world! I want every person in my Dazhao to enjoy this food, so that there will be no hungry people in the Central Plains."

"The concubine should change into court clothes and pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Emperor Xuan looked at the overjoyed queen gently, took the queen's hand and sighed: "Zitong is still dignified and loves the people, come and send the cotton cloth to the queen's palace."

Empress Miao covered her face with her wide sleeves embarrassingly, "We have been husband and wife for many years, and His Majesty's wish is my concubine's wish. Why give me these new things? This cotton is said to be a good thing, so let Your Majesty use it first."

Emperor Xuan held Empress Miao's hand, "Unfortunately, you are not in good health, otherwise I will definitely let you give birth to a unicorn for me."

"It is enough for me to have Wei Niang. I understand Your Majesty's heart. As the eldest princess, Wei Niang is extremely honorable, healthy and smart; Your Majesty dotes on her concubine and also dotes on Wei Niang. I have no regrets in this life." carry on."

Emperor Xuan sighed, if it wasn't for the queen's poor health, he wouldn't have a headache for these noisy sons below, and he would have made the queen's child the prince.Not having a son-in-law is the eternal regret in Emperor Xuan's heart.It's just that the queen is his first wife, and she is virtuous and gentle, so he will not listen to his subordinates to persuade him to abolish the queen.

"Your Majesty, Shen Li offered God's food and cotton, what reward will Your Majesty give this time?"

Emperor Xuan had a headache: "This kid, sooner or later he will be able to rely on rewards to buy a house in the capital."

When Wen Bohe received the quilt and popcorn from Shen Li, he smiled strangely. He always felt that Shen Li was very concerned about what he wanted to eat, just like his mother often put her mind into cooking food for his father.It is rare for a young man to be proficient in cooking.He had no other gifts in return, he only picked up the gems he carved and gave them to Shen Li, at least they were made by himself.Knowing that he had letters and gifts for Shen Li, His Majesty asked the Hussars to deliver them.

Shen Li was arguing with the people from the Weaving Bureau. Before he could show the benefits of the loom, the people from the Weaving Bureau got impatient and wanted to drive him away.

"In Shenli, I want to sell you looms and shuttles. Is there any Shangguan who can discuss the matter?"

The head of the Weaving Bureau looked at Shen Li with a smirk: "Shen Li? If you don't make soap, what are you doing here?"

Shen Like cupped his hands politely, "Good luck, I made a loom, this loom..."

The director immediately interrupted him: "I don't care what crap you make again, don't come to me to sell your stuff, I can't afford it." This Shen Li is very evil, he came to the door, for They weave bureaus, which may not be beneficial at all.At this time, their weaving bureau can be profitable without doing too much work. When Shen Li makes a move, their weaving bureau may not make much money, and they will be exhausted.

Shen Li had no choice but to leave the Weaving Bureau with his loom model.

If Shen Li knew what was going on in his heart, he would definitely shake his head and sigh.If the Weaving Bureau cooperates with him, maybe the Weaving Bureau can be transformed into a state-owned enterprise. At that time, not only can more jobs be provided, but Qinghe County can also go one step further and become a large county that supplies cloth.Tiredness will indeed be tiring, but as the leader of a state-owned enterprise, will there be less benefits?

He came here to give away the god costume at the price of cabbage, but they don't want it!It's just too much to pursue!Shen Li had no choice but to find the county magistrate. Although the county magistrate is the object of the weaving bureau's filial piety all the year round, he speaks very pertinently: "The weaving bureau is full of low-level officials with limited vision. Besides, the weaving bureau involves a lot of people. The cloth shop, the manor owner, and even the aristocratic family are all involved with the weaving bureaus in various places. Weaving bureaus only need to ensure that they do not compete with these people for profit, and they will have other offerings."

The county magistrate took a sip of tea in embarrassment: "I also took some, it was given by the rich merchant, don't take it for nothing."

The corner of Shen Li's mouth twitched, okay, don't have too many illusions about the integrity of the grassroots cadres in ancient times, he doesn't want the loom and flying shuttle to be dusty, since the county magistrate looks indifferent, thinking that the Weaving Bureau has little to do with him, Then he can do it.

The director of the Weaving Bureau sneezed: "It's almost October, and it's getting colder every day."

Shen Li's strength alone is limited, and he needs the help of the county magistrate.The county magistrate can be successfully promoted if he lacks one merit. He has always been optimistic about Shen Li's ideas, and he thinks there is nothing wrong with helping Shen Li deal with some things.

"My lord, I also want to open a weaving bureau, which is exactly the same as the existing weaving bureau, and I must open it opposite the weaving bureau."

The county magistrate hissed, feeling a little unkind.But compared with the official career, it doesn't matter if that bit of kindness is lost...

Without much thought, he agreed to Shen Li, "Leave a way for the people in the Weaving Bureau to survive. I remember that most of them are Weaver Girls who have no land..."

Shen Li smiled, he is not an exploiter, he is a liberator.Even looms cannot be promoted through the Weaving Bureau, so cotton cloth may not be promoted either, so what's the point of him doing this?In order to make cheap cloth, the Weaving Bureau must make way for him.

Shen Li knew that the county magistrate only needed to nod in this matter, and he could use his hands and feet.He also doesn't intend to use the Weaving Bureau as a private property, he just wants to ban the existing Weaving Bureau's business model - facing the common people, not the dignitaries.

Circulation is better than monopoly. Once monopoly is established, farmers who grow kudzu, hemp, and even cotton can only sell to certain cloth houses, and the price is kept very low because no one else accepts it.In this way, the money they can get will inevitably be small, and the money on hand is only enough to buy food.And those wealthy merchants can use these cheap raw materials to process them into cloth, and set the price lower than the individual textile households, and higher than the reasonable price, forcing the individual textile households to retreat, not to compete with them for profit, and the common people have no room for profit , All the money was earned by wealthy businessmen.Cloth was a very important material in ancient times. With its circulation, the market in Qinghe County can be opened faster.

Knowing that the county magistrate still needs some time, Shen Li simply sorted out some necessary procedures, intending to build a complete set of development methods in Qinghe County that are most suitable for the local small-scale peasant economy and can best promote the development of the commodity economy within two years, starting from the least Start with the humble cloth.

"Li'er, Your Majesty has rewarded you again! Come and meet your lord!" Yu Shi hugged her youngest son, and when she saw Shen Li coming back, she couldn't hide the smile on her face, reminding Shen Li that there was a guest at home.

Shen Li knew that the emperor must have come with a decree. Sure enough, the supervisor who announced the decree told Shen Li that he wanted to grow corn and cotton and assist the county magistrate to promote the planting of corn and cotton. penalty.

Shen Li: ...

The supervisor also decided that it was a bit unreasonable, but His Majesty gave a lot of rewards this time, including land, real estate and money.That is, the land and premises are not in Qinghe County, but in other counties.

"Your Majesty bestows you with one hundred hectares of fertile land, one courtyard with four entrances, and 200 taels of snowflake silver ingots."

Shen Li was very puzzled, didn't he see that the chief supervisor brought a reward?Besides 200 taels of silver, what about other title deeds?

The superintendent was a little embarrassed. It was the first time to deliver such a reward. His Majesty is not a stingy person. Maybe he deliberately teased Shen Tong, so he said: "Shen Tong, Your Majesty said that these are all in Yanhui County. Only when I go to Yanhui County to become an official in the future can I get it."

Shen Li was surprised: "Yanhui County, where is it?"

"It's in the Northland, in the Northland of Dazhao."

Shen Li understood that His Majesty wanted him to be an official in the border!Where the birds don't shit, ask him to be a coolie!If you don't do it well, you may be the kind of back-to-back man!

It's insidious, thinking about him, Shen Li, a dignified "peer", actually going to a poor county to help the poor people, I can only say that the emperor's employment of people is really essence.Shen Li was very convinced, he shouldn't have underestimated the face of any ruler of Dazhao.He threw his head and blood for Dazhao... Ahem, the emperor actually asked him to be a sesame official in a poor county!

Shen Li... Shen Li almost laughed out loud, luckily he didn't work under the eyes of the emperor, in fact Yan Hui County is also very good!He loves it!

Seeing that Shen Li didn't speak and his face remained normal, the chief supervisor admired Shen Li even more in his heart.A mere white body in the Tianzi Hall, everyone would feel that the emperor would entrust him with a heavy responsibility, but in the end His Majesty only gave him a small official, and he wanted to go to a place where he didn't want to be a small official. He was moved in the slightest, and he deserved to be an outstanding talent who made Quyuanli and bobbin carts!Shen Shentong must be a good boy who is not surprised by favor or humiliation, and is extremely loyal to His Majesty!Such a Zhong Lin Yuxiu, how could he not admire him?

Shen Li looked at the superintendent with a blank face and bowed to him, thinking that maybe people in the capital like things that can't be imagined.

After receiving the reward from His Majesty, the supervisor had a meal with Shen Li, visited the daily necessities processing factory, and received soap, scented soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc. from Shen Li.The supervisor was very happy, because the Shen family released a new model, and it was not available in the capital.Now take it out and give it away, without losing points.

A few months ago, toothbrush and toothpaste also suddenly became popular in the capital. It seems that one day, the prince used it once after a party, and the little lady who secretly liked him saw it and imitated it. Originally, toothbrush and toothpaste were not popular among nobles. It’s not considered popular, but suddenly within two or three days, the stocks in the hands of the vendors in the streets and alleys are all gone.

The boys of each family squatted in the store, afraid that it would be their turn to run out of stock and be scolded by the owner.

Shen Li had made a lot of outrageously expensive toothpaste before and sold them all. "The prince is the most perfect spokesperson. If the prince is in modern times, the brand chamber of commerce will be overwhelmed to find him to endorse the brand!" For the money, Shen Li's conscience didn't hurt at all, and he was even a little flattered.

Wen Bohe didn't know that he had also become the spokesperson for toothpaste and toothbrush, and he had won a large order for Shen Li.He is researching how to mass-produce pencils. He found that writing with pencils really does not waste paper at all, and can be wiped clean with steamed buns.In this way, how many poor families can save money and come to the scientific research?

It’s just that the old scholars don’t agree, they think that calligraphy should be used as a scholar.In the hall, those old men blew their beards and stared at them, afraid that His Majesty would agree that pencils could be used in scientific examinations for humble families.

"Writing with a pencil is difficult to be elegant! The characters written are like urchins writing, crooked and crooked, how decent are they?"

Wen Bohe practiced hard-tipped pen calligraphy for a long time. He took out a blank piece of paper and clearly wrote the decrees of Dazhao on it. The content that comes out is more than twice as much as that of calligraphy!

The old man who said that the pencil writing was crooked blushed. It seems that there is no problem with the pencil, but that he can't write with a pencil at all.

Emperor Xuan is not a fool, he has realized the benefits of this thing, but there are more serious flaws...

Wan Yushi came out, "I heard that this pencil can be changed at will, and it is easy to fade, but is it so?"

Wen Bohe said: "That's true, but isn't it a good thing to produce pencils on a large scale so that more people can read?"

Wan Yushi nodded: "It's a good thing, but it's inappropriate to give up writing with a brush for the sake of writing with a pencil. You can only use a brush for the paper of the scientific examination, so that the students' answers will not be damaged."

Emperor Xuan nodded. Pencils are indeed not suitable for scientific research, but large-scale production is indeed feasible.

The ministers who opposed it had nothing to say. Since they made concessions and were willing to let the poor family participate in the scientific examination, this hole was destined to be opened up more and more.They were unwilling and wanted the high price of pens, ink, paper and inkstones to reduce the number of poor children who tried to join the gentry by studying.It's just that even this plan is about to fail?They stared at Wen Bohe heartbroken. This person should have stood with them, but instead he took a different path. What good would it do him?

Wen Bohe has never regarded himself as a nobleman, and as for the benefits, he naturally doesn't think too much about it.He died when he was five years old, and was rescued by a poor and lowly couple, causing their whole family to be killed by traitors. This is the reason why he has always hated the wicked and held closeness to the common people.So wherever he goes, as long as someone calls for grievances, he will take action, as if that way, so that the couple who rescued him will not die in vain.

This is something that Wen Bohe hides deeply in his heart, and no one knows except Wang An.

Shen Li knew that the pencil was going to be promoted, and couldn't be more surprised.It’s just that a pencil is good, but after a long time, the words on it will become blurred, so it’s not as easy to use as a pen.It is almost impossible to make a fountain pen like a modern one, but there is no problem with the quill.

The traditional Western quill pen is quite good, the price is low, and it is easy to manufacture. If His Majesty wishes, candidates can be allowed to use a quill pen to answer questions.

But brush calligraphy belongs to traditional culture, and it is not appropriate to lose traditional culture. No matter, he will make it first, so that His Majesty will have a headache.The left and right are not complicated things, and it is also very good to make them and record data in the factory.

Shen Li felt that since the county magistrate hadn't handed over the weaving bureau to him, he should find something for himself, such as helping the workers in the factory to literacy.People who don't have enough food and clothing may not be interested in thinking about things like culture, but the workers in the daily necessities processing factory are not so miserable.

Whether to learn or not is up to them. Shen Li is not a saint, he cares about everything.

Start teaching Arabic numerals and simple addition and subtraction. Numbers should be easier to learn than Chinese characters.Shen Li happily edited elementary school mathematics textbooks. On the title page, it reads: Eliminate ignorance, start with mathematics.
