Ancient Fortune Records

Emperor Xuan was busy with the military memorials for the southwestern frontier defense, and it was already early November.

"How many days has Shen Li been on leave?"

"It's been five days. It is said that the family gave birth to twins. Both mother and child are safe. Shen Li's father entertained guests for three days and even set up an open-air banquet on the outskirts of the city for one day. Pedestrians and beggars can eat it. All the food at the outdoor banquet, They are all covered with cloth so that no dust will stick to them. Four servants are sent to stand by the table to maintain order. Pedestrians or poor people line up to get food, and they only need to say an auspicious word, and they can use the special bamboo made by Shen's family. Plate and take what you want to eat."

"Oh," Emperor Xuan nodded, "Twins, mother and child are both safe, no wonder they are celebrating like this. However, he should come back. Little Twelve is clamoring to go out of the palace to see the Shen family's newborn, I think the weather is too cold , I’ve been holding him these days and not telling him to go out, heh, he’s still fighting with me. How can he be a rare kid? He just wants to find Shen Li!”

"His Twelve Highness respects teachers, His Majesty should be happy." Gao Dajian spoke for King Rong.

Emperor Xuan said: "Tomorrow, if he doesn't come again, he will also be tied up for me. I have obtained intellectual property rights based on him, and he has made a lot of money with this, and movable type printing has been sold to neighboring countries." .Before I was still prevaricating and didn’t know what ‘cement’ was, but I got serious. He said that he would take charge of this matter carefully when it’s not the busy season. Now that the autumn harvest has come to an end, I think he should also come forward and give me an answer. Speaking."

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the hall.

"What's going on? What's going on with those old things?" Emperor Xuan rubbed his brows. Hearing this voice, one could tell that these restless ministers were arguing again.

I saw Han Yun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Yan Xinghan, Minister of Industry, stepping into the imperial study room, scrambling to take responsibility for each other after saluting.

"Okay, look at what you look like! What is it for?"

Han Yun said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, it has been more than half a year since you assigned Shen Li to our official department. During Shen Li's tenure, he not only had to take on the responsibility of Taifu, but also improved the official evaluation of officials in the selection of various ministries. You know the content and method of our official selection. Later, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry all came to join in the fun, and asked Shen Li about the assessment regulations in private, and asked Shen Li to help think about the specific assessment content. These are all It doesn't matter, everyone is doing things for His Majesty. But look, for the past few days, Lord Yan has been forcing our officials to let Shen Li out, saying that Shen Lihe should be their subordinate. I can't bear it anymore. And the flat tone, it's all up to you, why should he, Yan Xinghan, come to our bureaucracy to make trouble?"

"Yan Qing, is there such a thing?"

Yan Xinghan was also very aggrieved, "I didn't have this idea at first, but Mr. Han is showing off his subordinate Shen Li every day as a genius, and he has simplified the internal operation of the official department. Now the entire operation mode of the official department is far away. It is better than our Ministry of Industry, and I don’t want to compete. I just asked Shen Li to help me, and the old thief Han Yun pushed back. Thinking about the Ministry of Industry where I belong to, it has been known for its hard work for so many years. When officials take office, the Ministry of Industry has to be the last one to pick someone. They are the left and right arms of His Majesty, so why is the Ministry of Officials so overbearing?"

"Your Majesty, my minister..."

Emperor Xuan chuckled and said, "Okay, it's really unfair. The Ministry of Industry has worked hard, so it's the same for Han Qing to lend Shen Li to the Ministry of Industry for a while and then return it to you. What do you think?"

Han Yun said helplessly: "Okay, just borrow it for one month, and Shen Li will still be in our official department in the coming year!"

Yan Xinghan smiled and said: "That's natural." That's not necessarily the case, maybe he made Shen Li reluctant to leave the Ministry of Industry, if Shen Li doesn't leave by himself, then no one will go.

The two looked disgusted at each other, snorted at each other a few times, and then left the hall.

Emperor Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Look, these people are just like that shrew in the market, and they finally left." He also felt that Shen Li was suitable for the Ministry of Industry, but Shen Li had just come to the capital at that time, and his foundation was still shallow. Both the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rites are good places to accumulate contacts and experience. Although the Ministry of Industry is good, it is not conducive to Shen Li's future career.

However, since 'cement' is related to the Ministry of Industry, it is not a big problem to let Shen Li go to the Ministry of Industry as the Minister of Industry.

Eunuch Gao thought that His Majesty might not have expected Master Shen's popularity. He felt that this was just the beginning.

Shen Li stayed at home for five days, he knew that he had no way to take it off, so he rode slowly to the palace to take up his post.

His philanthropy has only just begun, but within the capital, it has been carried out fairly smoothly.

Mrs. Yu is now at least a pleasant person. Among the wives in the capital, she has a gentle temper and is quite sincere in dealing with others. She has really made friends with many wives with the same temperament in Beijing.

They came to participate in Xisanli, and they were very touched by what Shen Li was going to do. Each of them took out at least 300 taels of silver, saying that they were using Shen Li to give a little of their heart.

But these wives are not just because they want to do good things.Now Shen Li is favored by His Majesty in the palace, and is also the central figure of the Taifu and the Ministry of Officials.Whether it is a higher rank than him or lower than him, they are willing to give Shen Li face.These wives actually represent the meaning of their husbands.

Shen Li handed over all matters to the prince, he was very relaxed.But he didn't want the prince to work hard for him. After these things were done, it was equivalent to installing an invisible amulet for the prince.

Public opinion is the most peculiar thing, it seems very weak, but to a certain extent, officials and those in power must make concessions for it.Even if they don't make concessions temporarily, it will cause countless troubles in the future.

The most gossiping people in Chang'an City, now that charity halls and orphanages have been opened in the suburbs of Beijing, everyone is curious about who goes there and what is going on now.

"The group of little beggars in our Chang'an city are gone."

"They all went to the orphanage. Some of them were abducted and their legs were broken. The county magistrate sent someone to send them to the orphanage. Some of them were not long-sighted and wanted to stop them, but they were stopped by a Lord Qingpao carried it to the yamen. It is said that his surname is Shen, and he looks thin, but he has such great strength."

"The lord you are talking about is probably Mr. Shen. You know Mr. Shen? When he was a little bit old, he knew how to make soap and tofu. He was an official at the age of 13. Now he is a fifth-rank official, the son of His Royal Highness King Rong. Master."

"Oh, it's really amazing."

"...that lame old Zhang, is he still alive this year?"

"Alive, and alive well. The Holy Majesty is called His Royal Highness Rong Wang, His Royal Highness Princess Chang, and the charity hall run by His Highness Shizi, which specially adopts disabled people like Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang is a veteran again. It hurts so much that I can’t sleep, now I’m in the Charity Hall, and I’m taking the medicine prescribed by the miracle doctor, and now I’m living more and more popular.”

"It's not easy for Lao Zhang. He crawled out of the dead, his wife remarried, and his son and daughter were taken away by that woman. At the end of the day, there was nothing."

"Don't say that, it's not easy for his wife. She's raising three children by herself, and she won't marry until he's done."

"Oh, good luck tricks people."

"Old Zhang feels that he is a useless person. He is afraid that the children will be ridiculed, so he is not willing to recognize those children. The day before yesterday, he saw two young people who had grown into adults looking for him, and he hid them all."

"Oh, the stubborn temper that Bing nourished."

"No."

……

Hearing these discussions, some old people in the city felt that their children were not filial enough, so they rushed to the charity hall to ask for support. Anyway, they don't need to pay money. They are willing to stay here, and no one can drive them away.The steward of the Charity Hall was about to refuse, but remembered what Mr. Shen had told him, so he forcibly suppressed his anger, politely welcomed these old people who had nothing to do, and arranged rooms.

Some pampered elderly people in the city will wake up at midnight, have a meal together, take a walk, and then go back to do the work of the charity hall.The work is not heavy, but the old people in the city have long forgotten their workmanship skills, so they just bite the bullet and continue to do it.A one-hour nap time was arranged at noon, and I had to continue working in the afternoon...

The orphans and widows who really have no children to support them are people who have been tired all their lives and have no hope. When they come here, they know that someone is willing to support them. Some people take care of them, so they don't reject these jobs at all.Moreover, the meals and accommodation here are free, and the doctor regularly checks their bodies, so living here is really quite a good thing for them.

But if you come here deliberately to take advantage, you will feel that life here is miserable.Although the clothes on his body were neat and tidy, the fabric was not particularly soft.The food eaten was badly burned and tasted very bland.After staying for two days, they couldn't stand it anymore. It happened that the younger generation of the family gave them a step down, and they were quickly moved out of the charity hall.

For the village households belonging to the capital, the Charity Hall is a good place to go, where they can eat well and dress warmly, which is better than living at home.But even so, most old people are still willing to live in their own homes, because family happiness is more satisfying than everything outside the body.

However, there are also many young people who are unwilling to honor the elderly and send their parents to charity halls.The old people will also help to hide it. After all, they are their own descendants. Even if they treat themselves too much, they will forgive them.

Of course, the Charity Hall would not say no to such old people, but after all, they were not really widowed old people, so once they found out that their parents and children were still there, they would come to the yamen servants to ask for alimony.Five hundred cash a month, if not paid, it will be deducted from the tax paid, if not paid, it will be considered that the tax has not been paid, and you will have to serve corvee.

Over time, no elderly people were driven to charity halls.There were no scandals of elder abuse in the capital, so Shen Li was not worried about what bad things would happen to these elders when they were sent home.

Children in orphanages also have to work.The girls knit some wool products, and the boys make soap and soap.There is still thirty Wen a month.No matter the hero or the girl, they must learn their skills, and they must learn all kinds of arithmetic and words.There are rewards for studying well, but the rewards are not too many, it is an honor.

These children didn't want so much, at most they wanted a safe house and a warm bed.When they opened their eyes every day and saw the clean and tidy dormitory of the orphanage, they felt that the beatings and hunger they had suffered before seemed like a dream.When you wake up from the nightmare, you can eat the cookies made by the kind mothers-in-law in the orphanage.Some of them used to hug each other to sleep on rainy nights, and a few friends would die of fever halfway through, but even sadness became a luxury, and they lived like animals year after year.

But maybe it was the end of their hard days, and they came to the orphanage.Although the name is not pleasant, they are indeed orphans, and instead they have a strange sense of belonging.

Shen Li clearly knew what he was doing, he didn't care about merit, he didn't care whether others felt that he was trying to gain fame or not.He saw the results, and that was the most important thing.

Knowing that his workplace has been changed to the Ministry of Industry, Shen Li has nothing to do with it.But he didn't expect to become the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and his official position was promoted to a higher level, which was beyond his expectations.However, Taifu himself is a second-rank official, so he is also confused whether he is a fifth-rank official or a second-rank official.

But when everyone faced Shen Li, they didn't pay attention to his official rank at all, but fear from the bottom of their hearts.

It was this person who "arranged" all the new officials with one hand, and made everyone tremble with fear by virtue of his superb question-making skills and various tricky examination methods.I can't wait to call him: "Father! Please shine in the Ministry of Industry and stop meddling in the affairs of officials in the Ministry of Officials!"

However, these people naively thought that Shen Li would not be able to interfere with the official examinations if he was not in the Ministry of Officials.

As long as the bookstore is still open, as long as Shen Li is not covered with sacks, those topics will continue to appear...

As soon as Shen Li arrived at the office of the Ministry of Industry, he found that his colleagues were not very enthusiastic, and they seemed to be more popular than when they were in the Ministry of Officials.

"In our Ministry of Industry, there is one Shangshu, the third rank, who is Yan Xinghan, the grandson of the Yan family, and one servant, who is the fourth rank, and you are in charge of Shanze, farmland, craftsmen, and other companies. Paper, pen and ink. There are four subordinates: one is the Ministry of Industry, the other is the Ministry of Tuntian, the third is the Ministry of Yu, and the fourth is the Ministry of Water.

One doctor from the Ministry of Industry, Tuntian, Yubu, and Ministry of Water, from the fifth rank; one from Yuanwai Lang, from the sixth rank.

The doctor of the Ministry of Industry and Yuanwai Lang are in charge of all the affairs of management and construction, such as the repair and dredging of the city, the restoration of civil engineering, and the procedures of craftsmen.Tuntian Langzhong and Yuanwai Lang are in charge of the decree of Tuntian all over the world.Yubu Langzhong and Yuanwailang are in charge of the affairs of Yuheng and Shanze in the world, and they can distinguish the time and prohibition.The Langzhong and Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Water are in charge of the decrees of Chuandu and Pichi in the world, so as to guide the ditches and weirs and cut off the rivers and canals.There are three persons in charge of the Ministry of Industry, two persons in charge of Tuntian, two persons in charge of the Department of Yu, and two persons in charge of the Department of Water, from the ninth rank.These people are on the go all year round, adults may rarely see them. "

"My lord, I am Zhang Wei, a doctor of the Ministry of Industry, and I am here to introduce to you the responsibilities and tasks of our Ministry of Industry. However, my lord may have heard of it in the Ministry of Officials."

Shen Li thought, not only that, he did memorize all the papers when they came out.

But since the Lang Zhong was willing to talk to him, he was also willing to listen. After all, the relationship between colleagues was cultivated in this way.Tell each other what you don't know, insult each other's superiors (no).

"My lord, what are you going to do?"

Shen Li said: "Make a magical thing called cement."

Cement is very common in modern life, such as the construction of bridges, houses, roads, etc. all have the credit of cement.How is cement made?

Cement is ground and mixed with limestone, clay, and iron ore powder in proportion. The mixture at this time is called raw meal.Then it is calcined, the general temperature is about 1450 degrees, and the calcined product is called clinker.Then the clinker and gypsum are ground together and mixed in proportion to be called cement.However, the conditions in ancient times were insufficient, and the things made may be much worse.Because of this temperature, it is almost impossible to reach.He could only barely make semi-finished products, but Shen Li felt that they could be used as long as they could be used. After all, the requirements for roads in ancient times did not need to be so high.

The author has something to say: Catch up!

For cement content, the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry comes from Baidu.
