All-round way to money
Chapter 41
The effect of acupuncture is immediate. Although there is less medicine after feeding, the meridians run faster, and it is absorbed after all.Bringing the dead back to life is not enough, and with the effect of the spirit rain, the child's panting is not so exhausting, and his complexion is slightly better.
This is an improvement, which is already very good.To put it bluntly, it looked like I could live for two days, but now it looks like I might be able to survive for another two days.
If you can survive for two more days, you can survive for ten or 20 days, ten or 20 years, right?
The imperial physician did not dare to say that it could be cured, but only said that it was improving, and he needed to see again.Concubine Jia directly sat on the ground with limp legs and cried silently.
Seeing her like this, Chu Ran felt even more angry.
But when it comes down to it, what can you do to her?
"Help your empress to rest, it won't help, it won't cause trouble. There is my palace here."
Concubine Jia is not afraid of Chu Ran scolding her now, and being able to scold her so hastily and stingily in front of her face really shows that the queen has no bad intentions for her child.Of course, she couldn't rest assured, so she just asked someone to move a chair over, and sat and watched quietly, not daring to make a sound because of her grievances.Watching the empress talk about those medical terms with the imperial physician, I didn't understand even if I heard half of them.It is said that the queen reads medical books all day long, and many people joke behind her back that she is crazy about children and wants to be a doctor herself.I really don't know that reading other people's book is really not for nothing. Looking at the serious expression of the old doctor, I also know that it is not without meaning.
Chu Ran calmed down and did not panic at all, which miraculously comforted Concubine Jia's emotions, and the servants also calmed down.If the master is not chaotic, the servants will feel at ease.
When I looked at it, I saw that in the middle of the night, the middle medicine was continuously fed down, only half a bowl of medicine was fed, and it took two or three hours to feed it. The medicine was changed a few times in the middle, and it was cold after not feeding much. I can only change new medicines constantly.Chu Ran started feeding for more than half an hour, and then handed it over to Nanny Jin who was next to Concubine Jia. The child's symptoms were better later on. Before she returned to Yikun Palace, she fed some Lingyu water before leaving, and left Yourong to wait. information.
The queen personally took care of Brother Jiu in the Xianfu Palace, and the concubines dared not leave.They are all in the outside room, so how the queen saves the child and how she scolds the concubine Jia is all watching.When Chu Ran left, they followed behind one by one, like quails. Concubine Lian Chun, who wanted to talk to the empress, opened her mouth twice, but didn't dare to speak.She dared not speak, let alone others.
Chu Ran didn't even know when he became so prestigious.Right now, she was so tired that she couldn't keep her eyes open. On this day, she went back to the palace in the car and concentrated on taking care of the child, tossing her to death.
He didn't have the energy to take care of them either, so he waved them away, returned to Yikun Palace, simply washed up and fell asleep.
A night without dreams.
It was just dawn in the morning, and I was woken up after sleeping for less than three hours.
"What's going on? Noisy..."
Mo Xiang heard Chu Ran's waking up, and came to wait on him, "Concubine Jia is kneeling in the palace with Brother Jiu in her arms. It is said that the little brother couldn't feed the medicine, and his condition is not good. Only the medicine given by the empress yesterday If you can drink it down, come to ask your mother for help..."
As soon as Chu Ran heard this, she got up and walked out with a piece of clothing on, which was too troublesome, "Nonsense, what is the child doing, still hugging and tossing? Hurry up and bring it in. Heat the warm pavilion again. "
I have never seen such a rascal.
Concubine Jia stumbled in with the child in her arms. When Chu Ran took the child, she was so angry that she saw that the child was about to make her die.
"Leave the child, the imperial physician should not come in, bring Concubine Jia back to the palace, and not allow her to come out again. If you dare to make trouble again, I will throw you into the cold palace, believe it or not." Chu Ran was furious, holding the child, He asked people to get the medicine, but his clothes were disheveled, so he had to tidy up before he could see people.Directly ask Li Yu to lock up Concubine Jia.
Concubine Jia didn't dare to make a fuss, she kowtowed three times to Chu Ran at the door, and then went back with her.
Chu Ran simply tidied up, dressed in casual clothes, and was able to meet people anyway, so she let the imperial doctor come in for acupuncture. At this moment, the medicine was also brought, and she took the medicine bowl and fed it little by little.
She didn't lock up Nanny Jin together, and Concubine Jia was able to leave so obediently because of Nanny Jin.Seeing that the little elder brother could really drink the medicine, the old nanny kept wiping away her tears, "It's not that master Jia doesn't feel sorry for elder brother Jiu. In the second half of the night, the servants and servants didn't feed him a sip, and the master couldn't do it either. Madam Zhenfeng Plus, with the blessings of the heavens, Brother Nine is under your protection..." Flattering Chu Ran like no money.
Chu Ran rolled her eyes in her heart, the real phoenix of fart is added to her body, what's the use of those fake ones, she really has a phoenix's life, why didn't she see it at all!In this day and age, whoever says there are spirits is bullshit.The spiritual rain is the real thing, oh, it’s okay to say that there is protection, the protection of the blessings of the saints, and the protection from the strong is also considered.
It's not uncommon to break up with them, whatever you want to think about.
But there is no way to give it to others to feed.I just watched it until daybreak, feeding the spirit rain without interruption.In the morning, when the child fell asleep, she had to say good morning to the queen mother again. She hadn't been back to the palace for a long time, and she couldn't miss this inevitable courtesy when she came back.The Queen Mother also knew that she had been tossed about by Brother Jiu for a day and a night, so she didn't force her to stay, and let her go back after rewarding a bunch of good medicinal materials.He went to the side hall to say hello to Concubine Yu.When she came back, the concubines came to greet her again, and after paying her respects, because Brother Jiu was here, the concubines in the main position did not leave, and all of them volunteered to help take care of her.
Look, there is nothing to worry about, let Concubine Chun take them to Dongnuange to look after the children, and she seizes the time to wash and change clothes and have a meal.
This imperial palace is really not a good place, and it makes people toss when they come back.There is no leisure in the garden.
Complaining in my heart, my movements are not slow.
The older brother over there should be given medicine when he wakes up, but no one else dares to do so.She has to do it.
After another injection, I was able to swallow the medicine slowly by myself, and I was able to moan like a kitten. This is also a big improvement.
Instead of getting the needles, Chu Ran hugged the baby while feeding the medicine, while handling palace affairs, listening to Li Yu and You Fu going back to the chores of the past few months.When she was busy with palace affairs, it was inconvenient for the concubines to listen, so they all went back.
When the master came, all he saw was her sitting cross-legged on the kang with the child on her lap. While patting the child, her eyes were half-closed, listening drowsily to Li Yu and Youfu's story.
"Why don't you lie down and have a good rest?"
Sitting next to him, let Chu Ran lean on him, the master looked at the child, he looked much better, and knew that he had been fed the spirit rain.
"Others can't feed the medicine. It's just in time for you to come back. Take care of me for a while. I'm too tired. Let me squint for a while." He glanced at the master in a daze, but he found support, and when he relaxed, he became even more tired.Carefully moved the child into the arms of the master, tilted his head, leaned on the master's shoulder and squinted.
Even if she leaned on her like this, Master didn't dare to make a big move.He can hold a baby.Lord Qianlong knows it himself, and he has hugged those children a few times.He himself is even better at it. In the time and space when he was studying medicine, he has studied all subjects, including pediatrics of Chinese and Western medicine. Can he hold children?
Brother Nine got into the emperor's arms, moved uneasily, moaned twice, and went back to sleep.The emperor pressed the acupuncture points to make him more comfortable.Qianlong understands medical principles and is a real father. He wants to make the child feel better, and no one can say anything about it.He also asked the imperial physician in a low voice if the acupuncture point was pressed correctly, and pretended not to press it blindly.
After a while, the child woke up and wanted to feed the medicine, which was also fed by the emperor himself, so as not to disturb the queen, he pressed the acupoints while feeding, and the medicine was fed more smoothly.
Chu Ran fell asleep for half an hour, and when she woke up, she had finished feeding her medicine.
The emperor's right arm was numb and did not move.
With this vigor, the servants present, the old man from Yikun Palace didn't think anything of it, they were all used to it.It is not an exaggeration to say that the imperial physician, the medical boy, Jin Nai and the servants of Xianfu Palace are turbulent.
If there is any impression, that is, the queen has really stood up.
I don’t know how Nanny Jin told Concubine Jia when she went back. Anyway, after that, Concubine Jia has been grounded in Xianfu Palace obediently, never staring at the little elder brother, so that she can take the opportunity to get close to the emperor. Every day, people come to see the little brother's situation three or five times a day, and Nanny Jin also goes back to report sooner or later.
I took care of it myself for five days, and others were able to feed the medicine. Because acupuncture is effective, I licensed it to Brother Jiu to use acupuncture. The old doctor can also use it. His medical skills are no problem.The life is saved, and the rest is to slowly nourish it.Chu Ran didn't dare to send the child back, she just got better, don't let his hapless mother mess it up again.Just leave the child in Dongnuange, and let Nanny Jin stay and take care of it.Another advantage of being here is that there are flowers watered by spiritual rain, and the house is full of spiritual energy, which is also good for the child's health.
"I think children's massage should also develop well."
When Concubine Chun came to see the child, the imperial physician pressed the acupoints and asked curiously, so Chu Ran took advantage of the opportunity to ask this question.
"I think it's okay. This one doesn't stick needles on the body. It doesn't have those knives and guns. It's not afraid of people. Let the maids in my palace learn later, and give the little elder brother Xiaoge a little more press at ordinary times. It's good to eat more food. He Jia is picky about food, and I will die of anxiety with her every day."
"Sister, this is a good idea. The maid learned this, and it is also a craft. When she leaves the palace in the future, she might be able to rely on this to support her family." Concubine Zhuang is now becoming more and more important in the palace. No lower than Chun Guifei, she speaks very freely.
Chu Ran was very admirable, and said: "Then don't just let the people in your palace learn, find more smart maids, and follow suit. When they have learned it later, let's go to the emperor to talk about it." , We also need a courtyard in the Royal Academy, so we don’t want to meddle in their affairs, so we recruit some female students, teach women to cure diseases, and train female doctors.”
It's not that there are no female doctors at all, but there are too few, and they don't specialize in gynecology.It is very inconvenient for male doctors, and some women are sick and inconvenient to see, so they have to stand upright.Especially in terms of childbirth, it is really a matter of life and death.
Concubine Chun didn't dare to say anything, this idea was too bold, Concubine Zhuang was very excited, she didn't think there was anything shocking, "That's great, we will also have a professional gynecologist and pediatrician in the future."
School is not school, it's still early.
"How busy are you with things over there?" Chu Ran asked about Concubine Zhuang's responsibility.
She's not just in charge of soap now.The soap business is now considered to be in business, and production workshops have been established in various places, and the monthly stable net profit can fluctuate slightly around 50 taels.If it weren't for the large investment in the follow-up, there would be more leftovers.The production process and technology have basically been finalized, and the follow-up is further research and development, how to reduce the cost to a lower level, and launch new products with more functions, such as some medicated soaps, the effect is good, but the taste is not good, if you can add more If you add some floral and fruity fragrances, the sales will be better.Like the soap with a single effect before, can you add more ingredients to have more effects.Questions such as these are all the business of the R&D team, and Wang Chuanqian will take care of them.
Driven by interests, an industrial chain will soon be formed.The soap sells so well, and so many products are made, the demand for raw materials has increased.The two most important ones, vegetable oil and alkali, require particularly large amounts.To extract vegetable oil, you must have soybeans, rapeseeds, and hemp seeds. If you harvest more, the prices of these grains have risen, and the prices have risen. Naturally, there are smart people who will start planting these crops in large quantities in the spring of this year.Including those flowers, fruits and vegetables, they are planted too much.Concubine Zhuang's mind is so stimulated by money, she proposed to grow ginseng for beekeeping. Ginseng soap and honey soap are the most profitable, but wild materials are too precious and wasteful.This year, Huangzhuangli of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has arranged for many people to plant ginseng in the same place as ginseng on the edge of the old forest in the northeast.There are also bees raised in Xing'an Mountains to obtain honey.In the past, there were few raised and only used by the nobles, but now we have to arrange more people.
There is also alkali production. In some places, there are saline-alkali lands. The alkali is large and the grass does not grow. Using that soil, you can simply boil the roughest alkali with a pot.In general, the people in such places are often the poorest, and there is no grain harvested in the fields.Chu Ran asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to go to those places to collect crude alkali and then come back to refine it.It can also be regarded as generating some income for the local people.
These are businesses derived from soap making, and Concubine Zhuang is in charge of them.
The change is not only in crop cultivation, but also in other things.
The soap sells well, and the craftsmen and workers in the workshop, including the shopkeepers in the shop, all get high wages.In the special workshop, because the twelve female workers from Xinzheku were used at the beginning, Concubine Zhuang intended to improve the status of women, and Chu Ran also indulged her, insisting that the smell of stinky men affected soap. The quality is not as careful as a woman.Except for moving goods and so on, which require a lot of effort, no male workers are needed.Even in the shop, except for the shopkeeper and the delivery man, half of the sellers are female shop assistants, and most of the buyers are female customers.
In this way, many female positions are provided, and girls from poor families who do not have bound feet and those who are capable have the opportunity to be selected.The lowest soap maker can earn five taels of silver a month.In this era when 20 taels of silver is enough for a family of five to survive for a year, what kind of concept is that?With a salary of 60 taels a year, if a family has one person working in the soap room, they can buy land and become a small landlord in two years.
For a while, if the daughter-in-law of the family can recruit a job, the status will be different immediately. Whoever can support the family can do whatever they want.It used to be common for mother-in-laws to chase and scold their daughter-in-law all over the street, but now it is not uncommon for mother-in-laws to deliver meals to the factory on a regular basis.The attitude is also very good, and there are fewer problems with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
If any family has a daughter who enters the soap factory, she will not worry about getting married, and the matchmaker can trample the threshold.Generally, families want to keep their daughters for two more years. It turns out that there are many people who get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, but now they wish they could stay until twenty.In fact, in terms of physical health, it is good for girls. Getting married and giving birth too early will do too much harm to the body.
Change is a little bit, this is just the beginning.Slowly, it will get better and better.
There is also a change in the hospital too.
Old imperial doctors are generally not short of money, and there are rewards for private work outside, ranging from 50 taels to 100 taels a time.These are small bosses, the big ones can be imperial physicians, most of them are from medical families, and there are pharmacies in their families, supported by the reputation of imperial physicians, the business is good.
Doctor Ye was first brought by Court Judge Xue to help the empress make soap, and everyone laughed at him for not doing his job properly.They were still thinking in their hearts, Xue Yuan ruled that this was a vengeance, and they had not forgotten the idea of celebrating the festival with the old imperial doctor Ye. Once the old imperial doctor died, he bullied other people's sons.
As a result, within a few months, the soap sold like crazy.The empress was kind, and even gave Ye Taiyi a share, but at first he didn't dare to take it, because the money was too much, and it burned his hands.The empress didn't force her, and made several court judges name them as consultants, and then awarded half of the money that should have been given to Imperial Doctor Ye to the imperial hospital.Everyone has a share and is taking advantage of Imperial Physician Ye, and no one is ashamed to embarrass him.Now, with an extra bonus of 7000 taels a month, each person can get a few hundred taels.
Are you jealous?Can you not be jealous?
Who doesn't understand medical theory?Which doctor doesn't understand medical science?
Now everyone knows that Courtyard Xue has passed the sentence, and they all envy Imperial Physician Ye's good luck.
Looking back, if he can make soap, can't we make something else?Especially after the queen empress brought her women to sell rouge, and asked the imperial doctors about the properties of the medicine, she thought about developing some new products for the empress.
Who hasn't ordered the recipe for pressing the bottom of the box.The heirloom cannot be moved.Then there are some common Chinese patent medicines, pills for beauty and beauty, etc., it’s not enough.There are also things like insecticide and deworming powders, which are common and cannot be sold?
Of course I can.
People kept offering prescriptions, and these things were also handed over to Concubine Zhuang.Ready-made ones can be used, and new products can also be researched. If there are any new medicines, they can be bought with prescriptions.Take 8000%.Profit based on sales volume.Slowly sell them in soap shops, and the profits are not bad. It is still possible to earn [-] taels a month, and the [-]% profit is only a thousand taels.There is that old and unscrupulous old man who presented that prescription. Well, Concubine Zhuang asked others to present it. I am not ashamed to sell it in the soap shop. The pharmacy approved by the Zoomlion Commercial Bank has a considerable profit. scary.The old doctor who presented the prescription did not dare to say what kind of prescription he used to earn the money.The account of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to record it clearly, only the income of the soap shop from selling medicines was written.Every time this money was mentioned, Concubine Zhuang felt embarrassed and tried not to mention it.Only she and Chu Ran knew the details, and they dared not mention them to others.
Concubine Zhuang is busy with all these things.In her Yonghe Palace, there are now more maids and eunuchs than in the Pure Imperial Concubine's palace, and people from the House of Internal Affairs are constantly busy all day long.
If this person has money, he will naturally be sensible.Send filial piety to the queen mother according to a lot of children every month.The Queen Mother likes whoever gives the most gifts, and the Queen Mother also loses face in front of the Queen Mother.She has a good relationship with the queen, her words carry weight, and the wives are also willing to make friends with her, and her popularity is good.Where is the little transparent look of the previous harem without a name for ten years.
All the imperial physicians have been stimulated so hard by Imperial Physician Ye, and the concubines are also self-motivated, and E Changzai is definitely not the only one.
Ah, by the way, the bicycle that Echang is researching is not going well.It is very fast to produce drawings and samples in the early stage.Stuck when it came to the wheels and chain.There is no rubber at the moment, and the tires cannot be made. The craftsmen thought of ways, and finally wrapped the outside of the iron ring with cork, and the effect was only passable.Let's talk about using wooden wheels, but E Changzai is still stubbornly insisting on using iron wheels, which makes the craftsmen tormented.As far as the chain is concerned, she only knows that there is a car chain, and what it looks like, I can only give a general idea. Those small parts require a little trial and a little bit of assembly. Do it over and over again, and it has never been successful!
It's quite funny to say, E Chang has been unsuccessful in making bicycles, tortured the craftsmen of the construction office, and the craftsmen of the construction office were not tortured crazy, and they were forced to research new things.When it came time to get the tire, E Changzai had to ask for rubber tires. Where could I get them for her? Come on, don't force them to get any tires, I really can't get them out.
E Changzai had to smash the bicycle, not realizing how great the craftsman's idea was.But someone realized it.The emperor now often goes to the construction office, and will report to him any new ideas. When he sees this thing, he recruits people to study the rail car.It just so happened that the steam engine had just come out and had power.Put forward the idea, and you can study the specifics.
Chu Ran was stunned when she saw the blueprint. Isn't this just a tram.That is, the power is not electricity, but gas.
Then guide and guide, you can lead to the train.
This is creation that can change the world.
The emperor himself did not expect that things would progress to this point.
Originally, he was thinking that the steam engine should be produced first, and the car should be produced first, but he didn't expect that the train would come out first.
And the rubber tree, it will take six or seven years at the earliest to be tapped, which is too long.The progress of the manufacturing office is too fast, and waiting so long will delay things.It forced him to release the three major artificial materials in advance.
Chemistry is not a new subject, and making fire by drilling wood is a chemical reaction.Cooking, the harmony of flavors is the concentration of various reactions, and Chinese people are no strangers to this aspect.
The three major synthetic materials, synthetic rubber, synthetic fiber and synthetic resin, are all made from petroleum and natural gas.Among them, synthetic resin has a more famous name, plastic.They are all produced through some simple chemical reactions.
Petroleum is not a new thing. Everyone knows that it is recorded in Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Bi Tan" in the Song Dynasty.
The location of several major oil fields in the country is also very clear to the emperor, and it is also recorded in the local annals of various places.But this thing, don't rush to use your own.Just develop a little less first, enough for research, and not much in the early stage.There are quite a lot of reserves in the old Maozi. In the Qiaktu trading market, they buy more and sell less. It's all little things.
If they can make money, they will work hard to mine it.
The long distance and inconvenient transportation are trivial matters, but with the railway, it will be convenient.
There is Chakta Street in the capital city, and every year there are [-] old Maozi merchants who come to sell goods, pass on the news to them, and then show them the samples, and tell them the specific location, and then just wait for the results .
Let's talk about going back to the palace, unlike E Changzai who insisted on making machines, the others were still working hard.
Concubine Wan was the first to watch Concubine Zhuang make soap, and she regretted that she didn't follow her back then.Concubine Chun is very busy looking after three children.She didn't have anything, she was just doing nothing, and was dying of anxiety.Then I kept thinking about what I could do.She has nothing else but dexterity, and she is very good at embroidery.I used to do some needlework with my own hands to give gifts. It’s not that the people in the manufacturing office are arguing with those foreigners. They got out of the loom, and the cost of weaving has dropped all of a sudden.The first batch of those gray cloths must have been sent to the palace, the coarse cloth nobles would not use it, and after a rough dyeing, they were given to the workers in Xinzheku to make uniforms.The feedback is not bad, the wearing is no worse than the hand-knitted ones.Mainly it is cheap.In this regard, the Ministry of Internal Affairs can save a lot of money every month.
Concubine Wan saw that the workers who brought water and dumped waste in the palace were wearing new cloth clothes, so she took a look out of curiosity, just when Concubine Zhuang came to bring her new soap and asked her to go out to visit the imperial garden, she took a look, He casually said that flowers embroidered can be sold as good clothes in the countryside.
If it can be embroidered by hand, it will cost a lot.
The two big maids beside her are also dexterous. The master and servant are just studying the weaving and even have an automatic loom. Can there be an automatic embroidery machine?Later Concubine Zhuang heard about it, so she asked Li Yu to find someone in the manufacturing office. Where could Li Yu find a craftsman who could embroider? There are more embroidery girls on the weaving side.But the embroiderer doesn't understand machines either.What to do, Concubine Zhuang has a lot of power to speak now, and she has to do what she says.Finally, two young apprentices from the chiming bell workshop were sent over.The chime is also automatic, almost.
Concubine Zhuang gave a general direction, just the embroidery machine. She described the pedal machine that her grandma used when she was a child in her hometown in her previous life.Her grandma used that machine to embroider her clothes.
In fact, she misremembered that it was an old-fashioned sewing machine, not an embroidery machine.Of course, handy housewives can also embroider with that.
What kind of specific machine is, that is secondary, the principle is correct, and everything else is easy to handle.Concubine Zhuang doesn't know the principle of the sewing machine, but she knows what kind of thread the sewing machine sews.The upper thread goes through the cloth and back again, and the lower thread passes through the loop formed by this thread, just blocking the thread.As soon as she said it, Wanbi took the cloth and needle and tried it. This method does not even have the most basic difficulty in embroidery.
No skill is required at all, the pattern will be embroidered in the hands of the person who operates the machine.
But in this way, because the operation is simple, it is easy to implement.
With the direction, the next job for a few people is how to use the machine to realize this process.
At this time, the two craftsmen who chimed the clock would be useful. The hundreds of parts on the chiming clock, including the bearings, were turned around. Compared with the sewing machine, which can be completed with only a few turns, it is too easy.
Some small achievements have been made, but the final shape has not yet been formed. When the shape is still very different from the sewing machines formed by later generations, the concubines who are in a panic in the harem come to watch the fun. The emperor and queen are not in the palace. They have too much time. Too much.E Changzai was shocked when he saw the machine.Why is it that she can make a sewing machine that is obviously much more complicated than a bicycle, but her bicycle has all kinds of difficulties?The whole person is not well, very depressed.
But in order to get some traffic from the sewing machine, she kindly drew the drawings.She lived 30 years earlier than Concubine Zhuang, and she was too familiar with this kind of high-end furniture at that time.One of the famous three pieces.Only those who live a fairly good life can afford it.
With the mature model she gave, it will be faster to do it again.
Therefore, when Chu Ran was busy with Brother Nine's illness, and when she came to her senses and was finally able to care about the lives of the concubines, she mainly asked about Concubine Zhuang's situation, and E Chang didn't even need to ask there , Writing a diary every day, and asking questions, it’s not annoying enough.As a result, Wanpin gave a big surprise.
Strictly speaking, whether it is a sewing machine or a loom, it can only be said to be semi-automatic.Because the power must rely on artificial.
"Master, when will you get the electricity out?" Chu Ran asked during dinner.
After getting all these things out, why don't you believe the most important thing?
Her master glanced at her, "I don't have three heads and six arms, so I can't come here in the same way. Hurry up."
Does he know that electricity is important?It's not that he hasn't had time to perfect the blueprint yet.
Then during Chu Ran's meal, she just looked at her master one after another, annoying people, "What do you want to say?" Can't you just say it?
Chu Ran hesitated, mainly because she was not sure and didn't understand. "Then if there is electricity, will the steam engine be useless?"
emperor:……
What should I say?
Next, Master began to explain to Chu Ran what mechanical power is, what is the transformation of production methods, and the relationship between steam engines, steam turbines, and internal combustion engines...
Until he seemed to see the mosquito coils in Chu Ran's eyes.
Forget it, "Don't worry about these industrial and technical matters. Sell soap and medicine."
Ok.
I have no opinion.
Afterwards, Chu Ran waited anxiously, when the electric lights would be available.Thinking about how good-looking the table lamp and lampshade was at the level of craftsmanship at the manufacturing office, she became anxious.
Ouch, stupid isn't it.
Without the light bulb, she still has the night pearl.The night pearls piled up in the space can't be counted, there are quite a few of them in the deep sea.There are footballs that big.It was the size of a normal fist, and she couldn't remember how many boxes it had packed.
Just act, rummage and rummage, and find out two the size of a boxer, four the size of a tennis ball, and twenty the size of a ping-pong ball.
They are all white, red and green colors, forget about them, it is scary when they are lit at night.
One of the two older ones was given to the Queen Mother, and one was placed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Although the queen mother is useless, she must be gagged, otherwise it will be troublesome for her to make up for it later.Not bad for that.There is nothing to be reluctant about.
Four tennis balls, Chu Ran kept them for herself, and put one in each of the four corners of the Xinuang Pavilion where she lived in Yikun Palace. In order not to show off, the manufacturing office made a lampshade, covered it during the day, and took it down for lighting at night. .
Of the twenty little ones, two were given to He Jing, two to Concubine Yu, and two to He Wan and He Jia.Two more were given to Yonghuang's Fujin.There is no such thing as a failed prince.
The rest are put in the warehouse for rewarding people.
When she brought these things out, the servants couldn't figure out where they got them from. The master didn't say anything, and it was hard to ask.When I gave it to the queen mother, I only said that it was a new one, and it was offered from below. If the queen mother has good things, it doesn't matter where you got it from. They made a luxurious pure gold base full of various gemstones. , Put the luminous pearl on it, from now on, wherever you go, the pearl will be there.
After the weather got hot, staying in the palace was not so comfortable.
Chu Ran also prefers to live in the garden.
This time, the queen mother and concubines were not thrown into the palace again.Don't just cool yourself down, take them all with you.
Brother Jiu has been raised in Yikun Palace for a month, and his illness is considered to be cured. He is still weaker than normal children, but the imperial doctor also said that if he is not tired, it will not affect anything.He is an elder brother, if there is anything that can tire him, let him be raised.It is considered to have survived.Then I sent it back to Xianfu Palace.Concubine Jia's confinement was also released. At that time, Chu Ran was anxious to shut her down, and she was also afraid that she would cause more trouble.Brother Jiu was rescued, Concubine Jia was grateful for something, and the imperial doctor said that her body was injured at the foundation, no matter how difficult it was to conceive, the emperor hadn't seen her for a long time.She has already recognized the fact of falling out of favor. Concubines in the harem, gaining power and losing power is a matter of day and night, and it all depends on the emperor's preferences.She has seen a lot, and she feels sad, but there is nothing unacceptable.She has three sons, who are much more reliable than men.
This time out of the palace, Brother Jiu also took it with him, but it was only with his mother-in-law.Chu Ran didn't need to take care of the children anymore.
It's true that children are very cute, but a sick child from someone else's family is just... right.It's better to let the mother take care of it.
In the garden, the concubines, whether they like it or not, have to live in the Changchun Immortal Hall.It's not that they are not forbidden to go out, they can stroll in the garden, as long as they don't think about going to the emperor.If they meet by chance, there will be eunuchs and maids to remind them to detour, if they don't listen, the emperor will ask someone to reprimand them.After both Concubine Ling and Concubine Shu were reprimanded, no one else would commit such stupidity again.
Concubine Ling was so angry that she pounded on the pillow, muttering, no rush, I'm not in a hurry, see you in ten years.When she turned around to greet Chu Ran, her attitude became more and more respectful. In Nala's memory, she had this attitude when she was a court lady beside Empress Fucha.It is also really bendable.Such a person should not be underestimated.
Everyone will make progress, and those time travelers who were not very smart before, maybe they will be enlightened and upgraded in the midst of setbacks!
Nothing is impossible, right.
The system is so flawed, Chu Ran will not find it strange to do anything.
This is an improvement, which is already very good.To put it bluntly, it looked like I could live for two days, but now it looks like I might be able to survive for another two days.
If you can survive for two more days, you can survive for ten or 20 days, ten or 20 years, right?
The imperial physician did not dare to say that it could be cured, but only said that it was improving, and he needed to see again.Concubine Jia directly sat on the ground with limp legs and cried silently.
Seeing her like this, Chu Ran felt even more angry.
But when it comes down to it, what can you do to her?
"Help your empress to rest, it won't help, it won't cause trouble. There is my palace here."
Concubine Jia is not afraid of Chu Ran scolding her now, and being able to scold her so hastily and stingily in front of her face really shows that the queen has no bad intentions for her child.Of course, she couldn't rest assured, so she just asked someone to move a chair over, and sat and watched quietly, not daring to make a sound because of her grievances.Watching the empress talk about those medical terms with the imperial physician, I didn't understand even if I heard half of them.It is said that the queen reads medical books all day long, and many people joke behind her back that she is crazy about children and wants to be a doctor herself.I really don't know that reading other people's book is really not for nothing. Looking at the serious expression of the old doctor, I also know that it is not without meaning.
Chu Ran calmed down and did not panic at all, which miraculously comforted Concubine Jia's emotions, and the servants also calmed down.If the master is not chaotic, the servants will feel at ease.
When I looked at it, I saw that in the middle of the night, the middle medicine was continuously fed down, only half a bowl of medicine was fed, and it took two or three hours to feed it. The medicine was changed a few times in the middle, and it was cold after not feeding much. I can only change new medicines constantly.Chu Ran started feeding for more than half an hour, and then handed it over to Nanny Jin who was next to Concubine Jia. The child's symptoms were better later on. Before she returned to Yikun Palace, she fed some Lingyu water before leaving, and left Yourong to wait. information.
The queen personally took care of Brother Jiu in the Xianfu Palace, and the concubines dared not leave.They are all in the outside room, so how the queen saves the child and how she scolds the concubine Jia is all watching.When Chu Ran left, they followed behind one by one, like quails. Concubine Lian Chun, who wanted to talk to the empress, opened her mouth twice, but didn't dare to speak.She dared not speak, let alone others.
Chu Ran didn't even know when he became so prestigious.Right now, she was so tired that she couldn't keep her eyes open. On this day, she went back to the palace in the car and concentrated on taking care of the child, tossing her to death.
He didn't have the energy to take care of them either, so he waved them away, returned to Yikun Palace, simply washed up and fell asleep.
A night without dreams.
It was just dawn in the morning, and I was woken up after sleeping for less than three hours.
"What's going on? Noisy..."
Mo Xiang heard Chu Ran's waking up, and came to wait on him, "Concubine Jia is kneeling in the palace with Brother Jiu in her arms. It is said that the little brother couldn't feed the medicine, and his condition is not good. Only the medicine given by the empress yesterday If you can drink it down, come to ask your mother for help..."
As soon as Chu Ran heard this, she got up and walked out with a piece of clothing on, which was too troublesome, "Nonsense, what is the child doing, still hugging and tossing? Hurry up and bring it in. Heat the warm pavilion again. "
I have never seen such a rascal.
Concubine Jia stumbled in with the child in her arms. When Chu Ran took the child, she was so angry that she saw that the child was about to make her die.
"Leave the child, the imperial physician should not come in, bring Concubine Jia back to the palace, and not allow her to come out again. If you dare to make trouble again, I will throw you into the cold palace, believe it or not." Chu Ran was furious, holding the child, He asked people to get the medicine, but his clothes were disheveled, so he had to tidy up before he could see people.Directly ask Li Yu to lock up Concubine Jia.
Concubine Jia didn't dare to make a fuss, she kowtowed three times to Chu Ran at the door, and then went back with her.
Chu Ran simply tidied up, dressed in casual clothes, and was able to meet people anyway, so she let the imperial doctor come in for acupuncture. At this moment, the medicine was also brought, and she took the medicine bowl and fed it little by little.
She didn't lock up Nanny Jin together, and Concubine Jia was able to leave so obediently because of Nanny Jin.Seeing that the little elder brother could really drink the medicine, the old nanny kept wiping away her tears, "It's not that master Jia doesn't feel sorry for elder brother Jiu. In the second half of the night, the servants and servants didn't feed him a sip, and the master couldn't do it either. Madam Zhenfeng Plus, with the blessings of the heavens, Brother Nine is under your protection..." Flattering Chu Ran like no money.
Chu Ran rolled her eyes in her heart, the real phoenix of fart is added to her body, what's the use of those fake ones, she really has a phoenix's life, why didn't she see it at all!In this day and age, whoever says there are spirits is bullshit.The spiritual rain is the real thing, oh, it’s okay to say that there is protection, the protection of the blessings of the saints, and the protection from the strong is also considered.
It's not uncommon to break up with them, whatever you want to think about.
But there is no way to give it to others to feed.I just watched it until daybreak, feeding the spirit rain without interruption.In the morning, when the child fell asleep, she had to say good morning to the queen mother again. She hadn't been back to the palace for a long time, and she couldn't miss this inevitable courtesy when she came back.The Queen Mother also knew that she had been tossed about by Brother Jiu for a day and a night, so she didn't force her to stay, and let her go back after rewarding a bunch of good medicinal materials.He went to the side hall to say hello to Concubine Yu.When she came back, the concubines came to greet her again, and after paying her respects, because Brother Jiu was here, the concubines in the main position did not leave, and all of them volunteered to help take care of her.
Look, there is nothing to worry about, let Concubine Chun take them to Dongnuange to look after the children, and she seizes the time to wash and change clothes and have a meal.
This imperial palace is really not a good place, and it makes people toss when they come back.There is no leisure in the garden.
Complaining in my heart, my movements are not slow.
The older brother over there should be given medicine when he wakes up, but no one else dares to do so.She has to do it.
After another injection, I was able to swallow the medicine slowly by myself, and I was able to moan like a kitten. This is also a big improvement.
Instead of getting the needles, Chu Ran hugged the baby while feeding the medicine, while handling palace affairs, listening to Li Yu and You Fu going back to the chores of the past few months.When she was busy with palace affairs, it was inconvenient for the concubines to listen, so they all went back.
When the master came, all he saw was her sitting cross-legged on the kang with the child on her lap. While patting the child, her eyes were half-closed, listening drowsily to Li Yu and Youfu's story.
"Why don't you lie down and have a good rest?"
Sitting next to him, let Chu Ran lean on him, the master looked at the child, he looked much better, and knew that he had been fed the spirit rain.
"Others can't feed the medicine. It's just in time for you to come back. Take care of me for a while. I'm too tired. Let me squint for a while." He glanced at the master in a daze, but he found support, and when he relaxed, he became even more tired.Carefully moved the child into the arms of the master, tilted his head, leaned on the master's shoulder and squinted.
Even if she leaned on her like this, Master didn't dare to make a big move.He can hold a baby.Lord Qianlong knows it himself, and he has hugged those children a few times.He himself is even better at it. In the time and space when he was studying medicine, he has studied all subjects, including pediatrics of Chinese and Western medicine. Can he hold children?
Brother Nine got into the emperor's arms, moved uneasily, moaned twice, and went back to sleep.The emperor pressed the acupuncture points to make him more comfortable.Qianlong understands medical principles and is a real father. He wants to make the child feel better, and no one can say anything about it.He also asked the imperial physician in a low voice if the acupuncture point was pressed correctly, and pretended not to press it blindly.
After a while, the child woke up and wanted to feed the medicine, which was also fed by the emperor himself, so as not to disturb the queen, he pressed the acupoints while feeding, and the medicine was fed more smoothly.
Chu Ran fell asleep for half an hour, and when she woke up, she had finished feeding her medicine.
The emperor's right arm was numb and did not move.
With this vigor, the servants present, the old man from Yikun Palace didn't think anything of it, they were all used to it.It is not an exaggeration to say that the imperial physician, the medical boy, Jin Nai and the servants of Xianfu Palace are turbulent.
If there is any impression, that is, the queen has really stood up.
I don’t know how Nanny Jin told Concubine Jia when she went back. Anyway, after that, Concubine Jia has been grounded in Xianfu Palace obediently, never staring at the little elder brother, so that she can take the opportunity to get close to the emperor. Every day, people come to see the little brother's situation three or five times a day, and Nanny Jin also goes back to report sooner or later.
I took care of it myself for five days, and others were able to feed the medicine. Because acupuncture is effective, I licensed it to Brother Jiu to use acupuncture. The old doctor can also use it. His medical skills are no problem.The life is saved, and the rest is to slowly nourish it.Chu Ran didn't dare to send the child back, she just got better, don't let his hapless mother mess it up again.Just leave the child in Dongnuange, and let Nanny Jin stay and take care of it.Another advantage of being here is that there are flowers watered by spiritual rain, and the house is full of spiritual energy, which is also good for the child's health.
"I think children's massage should also develop well."
When Concubine Chun came to see the child, the imperial physician pressed the acupoints and asked curiously, so Chu Ran took advantage of the opportunity to ask this question.
"I think it's okay. This one doesn't stick needles on the body. It doesn't have those knives and guns. It's not afraid of people. Let the maids in my palace learn later, and give the little elder brother Xiaoge a little more press at ordinary times. It's good to eat more food. He Jia is picky about food, and I will die of anxiety with her every day."
"Sister, this is a good idea. The maid learned this, and it is also a craft. When she leaves the palace in the future, she might be able to rely on this to support her family." Concubine Zhuang is now becoming more and more important in the palace. No lower than Chun Guifei, she speaks very freely.
Chu Ran was very admirable, and said: "Then don't just let the people in your palace learn, find more smart maids, and follow suit. When they have learned it later, let's go to the emperor to talk about it." , We also need a courtyard in the Royal Academy, so we don’t want to meddle in their affairs, so we recruit some female students, teach women to cure diseases, and train female doctors.”
It's not that there are no female doctors at all, but there are too few, and they don't specialize in gynecology.It is very inconvenient for male doctors, and some women are sick and inconvenient to see, so they have to stand upright.Especially in terms of childbirth, it is really a matter of life and death.
Concubine Chun didn't dare to say anything, this idea was too bold, Concubine Zhuang was very excited, she didn't think there was anything shocking, "That's great, we will also have a professional gynecologist and pediatrician in the future."
School is not school, it's still early.
"How busy are you with things over there?" Chu Ran asked about Concubine Zhuang's responsibility.
She's not just in charge of soap now.The soap business is now considered to be in business, and production workshops have been established in various places, and the monthly stable net profit can fluctuate slightly around 50 taels.If it weren't for the large investment in the follow-up, there would be more leftovers.The production process and technology have basically been finalized, and the follow-up is further research and development, how to reduce the cost to a lower level, and launch new products with more functions, such as some medicated soaps, the effect is good, but the taste is not good, if you can add more If you add some floral and fruity fragrances, the sales will be better.Like the soap with a single effect before, can you add more ingredients to have more effects.Questions such as these are all the business of the R&D team, and Wang Chuanqian will take care of them.
Driven by interests, an industrial chain will soon be formed.The soap sells so well, and so many products are made, the demand for raw materials has increased.The two most important ones, vegetable oil and alkali, require particularly large amounts.To extract vegetable oil, you must have soybeans, rapeseeds, and hemp seeds. If you harvest more, the prices of these grains have risen, and the prices have risen. Naturally, there are smart people who will start planting these crops in large quantities in the spring of this year.Including those flowers, fruits and vegetables, they are planted too much.Concubine Zhuang's mind is so stimulated by money, she proposed to grow ginseng for beekeeping. Ginseng soap and honey soap are the most profitable, but wild materials are too precious and wasteful.This year, Huangzhuangli of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has arranged for many people to plant ginseng in the same place as ginseng on the edge of the old forest in the northeast.There are also bees raised in Xing'an Mountains to obtain honey.In the past, there were few raised and only used by the nobles, but now we have to arrange more people.
There is also alkali production. In some places, there are saline-alkali lands. The alkali is large and the grass does not grow. Using that soil, you can simply boil the roughest alkali with a pot.In general, the people in such places are often the poorest, and there is no grain harvested in the fields.Chu Ran asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to go to those places to collect crude alkali and then come back to refine it.It can also be regarded as generating some income for the local people.
These are businesses derived from soap making, and Concubine Zhuang is in charge of them.
The change is not only in crop cultivation, but also in other things.
The soap sells well, and the craftsmen and workers in the workshop, including the shopkeepers in the shop, all get high wages.In the special workshop, because the twelve female workers from Xinzheku were used at the beginning, Concubine Zhuang intended to improve the status of women, and Chu Ran also indulged her, insisting that the smell of stinky men affected soap. The quality is not as careful as a woman.Except for moving goods and so on, which require a lot of effort, no male workers are needed.Even in the shop, except for the shopkeeper and the delivery man, half of the sellers are female shop assistants, and most of the buyers are female customers.
In this way, many female positions are provided, and girls from poor families who do not have bound feet and those who are capable have the opportunity to be selected.The lowest soap maker can earn five taels of silver a month.In this era when 20 taels of silver is enough for a family of five to survive for a year, what kind of concept is that?With a salary of 60 taels a year, if a family has one person working in the soap room, they can buy land and become a small landlord in two years.
For a while, if the daughter-in-law of the family can recruit a job, the status will be different immediately. Whoever can support the family can do whatever they want.It used to be common for mother-in-laws to chase and scold their daughter-in-law all over the street, but now it is not uncommon for mother-in-laws to deliver meals to the factory on a regular basis.The attitude is also very good, and there are fewer problems with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
If any family has a daughter who enters the soap factory, she will not worry about getting married, and the matchmaker can trample the threshold.Generally, families want to keep their daughters for two more years. It turns out that there are many people who get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, but now they wish they could stay until twenty.In fact, in terms of physical health, it is good for girls. Getting married and giving birth too early will do too much harm to the body.
Change is a little bit, this is just the beginning.Slowly, it will get better and better.
There is also a change in the hospital too.
Old imperial doctors are generally not short of money, and there are rewards for private work outside, ranging from 50 taels to 100 taels a time.These are small bosses, the big ones can be imperial physicians, most of them are from medical families, and there are pharmacies in their families, supported by the reputation of imperial physicians, the business is good.
Doctor Ye was first brought by Court Judge Xue to help the empress make soap, and everyone laughed at him for not doing his job properly.They were still thinking in their hearts, Xue Yuan ruled that this was a vengeance, and they had not forgotten the idea of celebrating the festival with the old imperial doctor Ye. Once the old imperial doctor died, he bullied other people's sons.
As a result, within a few months, the soap sold like crazy.The empress was kind, and even gave Ye Taiyi a share, but at first he didn't dare to take it, because the money was too much, and it burned his hands.The empress didn't force her, and made several court judges name them as consultants, and then awarded half of the money that should have been given to Imperial Doctor Ye to the imperial hospital.Everyone has a share and is taking advantage of Imperial Physician Ye, and no one is ashamed to embarrass him.Now, with an extra bonus of 7000 taels a month, each person can get a few hundred taels.
Are you jealous?Can you not be jealous?
Who doesn't understand medical theory?Which doctor doesn't understand medical science?
Now everyone knows that Courtyard Xue has passed the sentence, and they all envy Imperial Physician Ye's good luck.
Looking back, if he can make soap, can't we make something else?Especially after the queen empress brought her women to sell rouge, and asked the imperial doctors about the properties of the medicine, she thought about developing some new products for the empress.
Who hasn't ordered the recipe for pressing the bottom of the box.The heirloom cannot be moved.Then there are some common Chinese patent medicines, pills for beauty and beauty, etc., it’s not enough.There are also things like insecticide and deworming powders, which are common and cannot be sold?
Of course I can.
People kept offering prescriptions, and these things were also handed over to Concubine Zhuang.Ready-made ones can be used, and new products can also be researched. If there are any new medicines, they can be bought with prescriptions.Take 8000%.Profit based on sales volume.Slowly sell them in soap shops, and the profits are not bad. It is still possible to earn [-] taels a month, and the [-]% profit is only a thousand taels.There is that old and unscrupulous old man who presented that prescription. Well, Concubine Zhuang asked others to present it. I am not ashamed to sell it in the soap shop. The pharmacy approved by the Zoomlion Commercial Bank has a considerable profit. scary.The old doctor who presented the prescription did not dare to say what kind of prescription he used to earn the money.The account of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to record it clearly, only the income of the soap shop from selling medicines was written.Every time this money was mentioned, Concubine Zhuang felt embarrassed and tried not to mention it.Only she and Chu Ran knew the details, and they dared not mention them to others.
Concubine Zhuang is busy with all these things.In her Yonghe Palace, there are now more maids and eunuchs than in the Pure Imperial Concubine's palace, and people from the House of Internal Affairs are constantly busy all day long.
If this person has money, he will naturally be sensible.Send filial piety to the queen mother according to a lot of children every month.The Queen Mother likes whoever gives the most gifts, and the Queen Mother also loses face in front of the Queen Mother.She has a good relationship with the queen, her words carry weight, and the wives are also willing to make friends with her, and her popularity is good.Where is the little transparent look of the previous harem without a name for ten years.
All the imperial physicians have been stimulated so hard by Imperial Physician Ye, and the concubines are also self-motivated, and E Changzai is definitely not the only one.
Ah, by the way, the bicycle that Echang is researching is not going well.It is very fast to produce drawings and samples in the early stage.Stuck when it came to the wheels and chain.There is no rubber at the moment, and the tires cannot be made. The craftsmen thought of ways, and finally wrapped the outside of the iron ring with cork, and the effect was only passable.Let's talk about using wooden wheels, but E Changzai is still stubbornly insisting on using iron wheels, which makes the craftsmen tormented.As far as the chain is concerned, she only knows that there is a car chain, and what it looks like, I can only give a general idea. Those small parts require a little trial and a little bit of assembly. Do it over and over again, and it has never been successful!
It's quite funny to say, E Chang has been unsuccessful in making bicycles, tortured the craftsmen of the construction office, and the craftsmen of the construction office were not tortured crazy, and they were forced to research new things.When it came time to get the tire, E Changzai had to ask for rubber tires. Where could I get them for her? Come on, don't force them to get any tires, I really can't get them out.
E Changzai had to smash the bicycle, not realizing how great the craftsman's idea was.But someone realized it.The emperor now often goes to the construction office, and will report to him any new ideas. When he sees this thing, he recruits people to study the rail car.It just so happened that the steam engine had just come out and had power.Put forward the idea, and you can study the specifics.
Chu Ran was stunned when she saw the blueprint. Isn't this just a tram.That is, the power is not electricity, but gas.
Then guide and guide, you can lead to the train.
This is creation that can change the world.
The emperor himself did not expect that things would progress to this point.
Originally, he was thinking that the steam engine should be produced first, and the car should be produced first, but he didn't expect that the train would come out first.
And the rubber tree, it will take six or seven years at the earliest to be tapped, which is too long.The progress of the manufacturing office is too fast, and waiting so long will delay things.It forced him to release the three major artificial materials in advance.
Chemistry is not a new subject, and making fire by drilling wood is a chemical reaction.Cooking, the harmony of flavors is the concentration of various reactions, and Chinese people are no strangers to this aspect.
The three major synthetic materials, synthetic rubber, synthetic fiber and synthetic resin, are all made from petroleum and natural gas.Among them, synthetic resin has a more famous name, plastic.They are all produced through some simple chemical reactions.
Petroleum is not a new thing. Everyone knows that it is recorded in Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Bi Tan" in the Song Dynasty.
The location of several major oil fields in the country is also very clear to the emperor, and it is also recorded in the local annals of various places.But this thing, don't rush to use your own.Just develop a little less first, enough for research, and not much in the early stage.There are quite a lot of reserves in the old Maozi. In the Qiaktu trading market, they buy more and sell less. It's all little things.
If they can make money, they will work hard to mine it.
The long distance and inconvenient transportation are trivial matters, but with the railway, it will be convenient.
There is Chakta Street in the capital city, and every year there are [-] old Maozi merchants who come to sell goods, pass on the news to them, and then show them the samples, and tell them the specific location, and then just wait for the results .
Let's talk about going back to the palace, unlike E Changzai who insisted on making machines, the others were still working hard.
Concubine Wan was the first to watch Concubine Zhuang make soap, and she regretted that she didn't follow her back then.Concubine Chun is very busy looking after three children.She didn't have anything, she was just doing nothing, and was dying of anxiety.Then I kept thinking about what I could do.She has nothing else but dexterity, and she is very good at embroidery.I used to do some needlework with my own hands to give gifts. It’s not that the people in the manufacturing office are arguing with those foreigners. They got out of the loom, and the cost of weaving has dropped all of a sudden.The first batch of those gray cloths must have been sent to the palace, the coarse cloth nobles would not use it, and after a rough dyeing, they were given to the workers in Xinzheku to make uniforms.The feedback is not bad, the wearing is no worse than the hand-knitted ones.Mainly it is cheap.In this regard, the Ministry of Internal Affairs can save a lot of money every month.
Concubine Wan saw that the workers who brought water and dumped waste in the palace were wearing new cloth clothes, so she took a look out of curiosity, just when Concubine Zhuang came to bring her new soap and asked her to go out to visit the imperial garden, she took a look, He casually said that flowers embroidered can be sold as good clothes in the countryside.
If it can be embroidered by hand, it will cost a lot.
The two big maids beside her are also dexterous. The master and servant are just studying the weaving and even have an automatic loom. Can there be an automatic embroidery machine?Later Concubine Zhuang heard about it, so she asked Li Yu to find someone in the manufacturing office. Where could Li Yu find a craftsman who could embroider? There are more embroidery girls on the weaving side.But the embroiderer doesn't understand machines either.What to do, Concubine Zhuang has a lot of power to speak now, and she has to do what she says.Finally, two young apprentices from the chiming bell workshop were sent over.The chime is also automatic, almost.
Concubine Zhuang gave a general direction, just the embroidery machine. She described the pedal machine that her grandma used when she was a child in her hometown in her previous life.Her grandma used that machine to embroider her clothes.
In fact, she misremembered that it was an old-fashioned sewing machine, not an embroidery machine.Of course, handy housewives can also embroider with that.
What kind of specific machine is, that is secondary, the principle is correct, and everything else is easy to handle.Concubine Zhuang doesn't know the principle of the sewing machine, but she knows what kind of thread the sewing machine sews.The upper thread goes through the cloth and back again, and the lower thread passes through the loop formed by this thread, just blocking the thread.As soon as she said it, Wanbi took the cloth and needle and tried it. This method does not even have the most basic difficulty in embroidery.
No skill is required at all, the pattern will be embroidered in the hands of the person who operates the machine.
But in this way, because the operation is simple, it is easy to implement.
With the direction, the next job for a few people is how to use the machine to realize this process.
At this time, the two craftsmen who chimed the clock would be useful. The hundreds of parts on the chiming clock, including the bearings, were turned around. Compared with the sewing machine, which can be completed with only a few turns, it is too easy.
Some small achievements have been made, but the final shape has not yet been formed. When the shape is still very different from the sewing machines formed by later generations, the concubines who are in a panic in the harem come to watch the fun. The emperor and queen are not in the palace. They have too much time. Too much.E Changzai was shocked when he saw the machine.Why is it that she can make a sewing machine that is obviously much more complicated than a bicycle, but her bicycle has all kinds of difficulties?The whole person is not well, very depressed.
But in order to get some traffic from the sewing machine, she kindly drew the drawings.She lived 30 years earlier than Concubine Zhuang, and she was too familiar with this kind of high-end furniture at that time.One of the famous three pieces.Only those who live a fairly good life can afford it.
With the mature model she gave, it will be faster to do it again.
Therefore, when Chu Ran was busy with Brother Nine's illness, and when she came to her senses and was finally able to care about the lives of the concubines, she mainly asked about Concubine Zhuang's situation, and E Chang didn't even need to ask there , Writing a diary every day, and asking questions, it’s not annoying enough.As a result, Wanpin gave a big surprise.
Strictly speaking, whether it is a sewing machine or a loom, it can only be said to be semi-automatic.Because the power must rely on artificial.
"Master, when will you get the electricity out?" Chu Ran asked during dinner.
After getting all these things out, why don't you believe the most important thing?
Her master glanced at her, "I don't have three heads and six arms, so I can't come here in the same way. Hurry up."
Does he know that electricity is important?It's not that he hasn't had time to perfect the blueprint yet.
Then during Chu Ran's meal, she just looked at her master one after another, annoying people, "What do you want to say?" Can't you just say it?
Chu Ran hesitated, mainly because she was not sure and didn't understand. "Then if there is electricity, will the steam engine be useless?"
emperor:……
What should I say?
Next, Master began to explain to Chu Ran what mechanical power is, what is the transformation of production methods, and the relationship between steam engines, steam turbines, and internal combustion engines...
Until he seemed to see the mosquito coils in Chu Ran's eyes.
Forget it, "Don't worry about these industrial and technical matters. Sell soap and medicine."
Ok.
I have no opinion.
Afterwards, Chu Ran waited anxiously, when the electric lights would be available.Thinking about how good-looking the table lamp and lampshade was at the level of craftsmanship at the manufacturing office, she became anxious.
Ouch, stupid isn't it.
Without the light bulb, she still has the night pearl.The night pearls piled up in the space can't be counted, there are quite a few of them in the deep sea.There are footballs that big.It was the size of a normal fist, and she couldn't remember how many boxes it had packed.
Just act, rummage and rummage, and find out two the size of a boxer, four the size of a tennis ball, and twenty the size of a ping-pong ball.
They are all white, red and green colors, forget about them, it is scary when they are lit at night.
One of the two older ones was given to the Queen Mother, and one was placed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Although the queen mother is useless, she must be gagged, otherwise it will be troublesome for her to make up for it later.Not bad for that.There is nothing to be reluctant about.
Four tennis balls, Chu Ran kept them for herself, and put one in each of the four corners of the Xinuang Pavilion where she lived in Yikun Palace. In order not to show off, the manufacturing office made a lampshade, covered it during the day, and took it down for lighting at night. .
Of the twenty little ones, two were given to He Jing, two to Concubine Yu, and two to He Wan and He Jia.Two more were given to Yonghuang's Fujin.There is no such thing as a failed prince.
The rest are put in the warehouse for rewarding people.
When she brought these things out, the servants couldn't figure out where they got them from. The master didn't say anything, and it was hard to ask.When I gave it to the queen mother, I only said that it was a new one, and it was offered from below. If the queen mother has good things, it doesn't matter where you got it from. They made a luxurious pure gold base full of various gemstones. , Put the luminous pearl on it, from now on, wherever you go, the pearl will be there.
After the weather got hot, staying in the palace was not so comfortable.
Chu Ran also prefers to live in the garden.
This time, the queen mother and concubines were not thrown into the palace again.Don't just cool yourself down, take them all with you.
Brother Jiu has been raised in Yikun Palace for a month, and his illness is considered to be cured. He is still weaker than normal children, but the imperial doctor also said that if he is not tired, it will not affect anything.He is an elder brother, if there is anything that can tire him, let him be raised.It is considered to have survived.Then I sent it back to Xianfu Palace.Concubine Jia's confinement was also released. At that time, Chu Ran was anxious to shut her down, and she was also afraid that she would cause more trouble.Brother Jiu was rescued, Concubine Jia was grateful for something, and the imperial doctor said that her body was injured at the foundation, no matter how difficult it was to conceive, the emperor hadn't seen her for a long time.She has already recognized the fact of falling out of favor. Concubines in the harem, gaining power and losing power is a matter of day and night, and it all depends on the emperor's preferences.She has seen a lot, and she feels sad, but there is nothing unacceptable.She has three sons, who are much more reliable than men.
This time out of the palace, Brother Jiu also took it with him, but it was only with his mother-in-law.Chu Ran didn't need to take care of the children anymore.
It's true that children are very cute, but a sick child from someone else's family is just... right.It's better to let the mother take care of it.
In the garden, the concubines, whether they like it or not, have to live in the Changchun Immortal Hall.It's not that they are not forbidden to go out, they can stroll in the garden, as long as they don't think about going to the emperor.If they meet by chance, there will be eunuchs and maids to remind them to detour, if they don't listen, the emperor will ask someone to reprimand them.After both Concubine Ling and Concubine Shu were reprimanded, no one else would commit such stupidity again.
Concubine Ling was so angry that she pounded on the pillow, muttering, no rush, I'm not in a hurry, see you in ten years.When she turned around to greet Chu Ran, her attitude became more and more respectful. In Nala's memory, she had this attitude when she was a court lady beside Empress Fucha.It is also really bendable.Such a person should not be underestimated.
Everyone will make progress, and those time travelers who were not very smart before, maybe they will be enlightened and upgraded in the midst of setbacks!
Nothing is impossible, right.
The system is so flawed, Chu Ran will not find it strange to do anything.
