First Prince of Qing Dynasty

Although Ling Guang returned home, Yinreng and Yinzhi still went to eat a meal, and there was no need to choose another restaurant, the place was set at Yinzhen's hotpot restaurant.It is most suitable to eat hot pot in winter.

More than half a year after its opening, the hotpot restaurant is in full swing, and it seems to have become a major symbol of Jingshi Dining.If there is a book recommendation at this time, or a travel strategy.Yinzhen's hot pot restaurant is definitely the most popular online celebrity check-in holy place in the capital, and it is one of the must-eat places when you come to Beijing.

The hot pot restaurant is not far from Yinzhi's dessert milk tea shop. Standing in the box on the second floor, you can see it from the window.There is also a long queue at the milk tea shop at the moment, and there is an endless stream of customers.

Yinfeng smiled: "I haven't seen you for half a year, but your business is getting better and better. The traffic is bigger than the three Guna shops."

Both milk tea shops and hot pot restaurants are for food, which cannot be compared with Linglong Pavilion and other shops, but it is true that there is a large flow of people.

Yinzhi's eyebrows were flying, and he started to quiver: "Second brother, is he going to check the results today? We did a good job! Did you pass the assessment? Are my fourth brother and I considered your favorite students?"

Yin Reng glanced at him.Tsk, give some color and open a dyeing workshop.

Yinreng ignored him, and turned to talk to Yinzhen: "I've been away these days, what happened?"

"It's nothing special, but the person who was sent out by Song Guanshi Zhuangzi sent a message back."

Yinfeng paused, sat upright, and motioned for him to continue.

Yinzhen took out two letters from his bosom, "The above letter is from Junggar. According to the investigation, Taji Guli's life experience is indeed as she said, and she did not fake it. I am afraid that the information on Taji Guli we found will not be the same as ours. It was not a single person who was recognized. The investigators who went to Junggar also carried a portrait of Taji Guli. The locals recognized her. It was undoubtedly her."

Yinfeng nodded slightly, and heaved a sigh of relief.He intends to reuse Taji Guli, although looking at all the traces, it is unlikely that there is a problem with Taji Guli.But if she really doubted it, she might overturn all his plans.Yinfeng will never allow such a thing to happen.

It is said that there is no need for suspicious people, and there is no doubt for employing people.If you want someone to follow in your footsteps, you must give the other person enough trust.Yinfeng didn't want to doubt Tajiguli again in the future, so he might as well be more cautious and do more investigations.

Now that he knew that she was fine, his worries could be put aside.

Yinfeng opened another letter: "Is this letter from Tianjin Wei?"

"Yes! Zhuangzi sent two people to Tianjin Wei, one named Ge Yong and one named Song Kang. Both of them have successfully joined the Hon Hai Caravan. Ge Yong was promoted to be a small steward because of his outstanding performance. According to his observation, the current He has not found any illicit business with the Hon Hai Caravan. But he accidentally saw the accounts of the Hon Hai Caravan, and he felt that there was something wrong with the accounts.”

Yinfeng frowned slightly, and this point was mentioned in detail in the letter, because he saw the account by accident and did not have time to check it carefully in the future. After reading it for a short time, Ge Yong was not sure, but only had doubts.He felt that the accounts of the Hon Hai caravan were false, and it seemed that a sum of money disappeared every month.

Yinrong was lost in thought.Was this money sent to the capital and given to Yinti?The Hon Hai caravan belonged to Yinti, so it was normal to send money to Yinti.

If Yinti hadn't supported the Hon Hai Caravan behind the scenes, it would have been impossible for the Hon Hai Caravan to become bigger and stronger in a short period of time.Now that the Hon Hai caravan is making a lot of money, it is only natural to give the benefits to the master. It seems that this part of the expenses does not need to be falsified, right?

Yinfeng folded the letter and put it in his arms, said lightly: "Gu knows."

It seems that Ge Yong and Song Kang have to find an opportunity to break into the core investigation.

Yinzhi was baffled by what he heard, and looked at Yinzhen in confusion: "When did you take over the matter of the second elder brother Zhuangzi?"

"I didn't take over, I just took care of it while my second brother was away from Beijing."

Yinfeng explained with a smile: "Gu left Beijing under the guise of going to Changchun Garden to study. Not only did Gu leave, Xiao Zhuzi left, but all those who could take care of Yuqing Palace went to Changchun Garden. I didn’t know how to make a decision with Zhuangzi, so I entrusted my fourth brother to help Gu look at it. The contact information of the two of them who went to Tianjin Wei was also given to my fourth brother.”

Yinzhi's eyes widened: "No wonder the fourth brother went to find the manager of Qiqiaoju immediately after seeing the things made by Mr. Huang. By the way, fourth brother, Shangshufang's studies are not easy at all, and you have to manage the hot pot restaurant , but also to help the second brother look after the three shops and take care of the Weiyi shop.

"I thought this would be busy enough, but you are still in charge of Zhuangzi and Tianjin Wei's affairs. Fourth brother, we have twelve hours a day, don't you have 24 hours a day? Come, tell brother, you How did you do it?"

Yinzhen smiled awkwardly but politely: "That's it."

Yinzhi: ...

Yinfeng snickered, is such a difficult thing for the capable and hardworking 007 social animal?The potential of the fourth child is still great!Yinfeng shamefully experienced the joy of being an unscrupulous boss.

But when it comes to Zhiwei Medical Center, Yinfeng asked about Taji Guli.

Yinzhen replied: "Even though I used Tajiguli before seeing my second brother, I have been avoiding direct contact with her in front of people. The second brother must have second brother's consideration for doing so, so I have never come forward directly. Second brother probably doesn't know Earlier, you asked the imperial aunt for help to make Taji Guli the guest of Prince Yu's residence.

"The emperor's aunt likes her very much, and she often summons her to talk. But you also know that the emperor's aunt encountered difficulties in childbirth in the early years, and later her children died one after another. The emperor's uncle's first heir did not survive. The emperor's aunt has been sad for a long time. , the health has not been very good. After Brother Guang married his wife, Guo Luoluo learned about this, and took over the work of Aunt Huang.

"In the past few months, the summons from Prince Yu's mansion and the contact with Taji Guli were all handled by Guo Luoluo. Perhaps the two are not much different in age, and they get on well with each other. They have a close relationship. Guo Luo Luo Shi also often goes to the medical center to gossip with Taji Guli, or invite her to go shopping together."

Yinfeng: ...

This Guo Luoluo family is really not simple!

"With her relationship, I didn't let my people communicate with Zhiwei Medical Center. The girl from Guo Luoluo's family communicated with Xiaoman over there. If there is anything, she will inform Brother Guang, and Brother Guang will Pass it on to me."

Yinreng paused for a moment, then sighed, "It's because Gu didn't think carefully."

He avoided contact with Taji Guli on the surface because he didn't want to damage Taji Guli's reputation.Once people know that Taji Guli has contacts with him, Taji Guli will be labeled as a "prince's woman" by everyone.He wants Taji Guli to do what she wants to do cleanly, not that all her achievements in the future will cast a shadow on him.

If this is the case, everyone's evaluation of Taji Guli will be lowered, and his plan will be ruined.Tajigul is a female benchmark he deliberately erected, and there must be no stains.

But such avoidance also leaves gaps.

At this moment, Yinfeng inexplicably thought of the future princess, and sighed again.It's still too early for him to get married, so it seems that he still has to rely on Guo Luoluo's help.

Yinzhen said again: "Brother Guang said a while ago that Tajiguli seems to have plans for the transformation of the textile machine. I heard that she has not accepted Guo Luoluo's invitation for several days. It is rumored that she is going to retreat to make things."

Yinfeng was stunned for half a second, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

It has been half a year since he gave the "task" to Tajiguli, and it is time to see the results.

As he expected, three days later, he received a message that Taji Guli invited him to meet.

In order to deceive people, the name is justified, and the location is placed in Hejun Prince's Mansion.

That's right, since Lingguang was named the Queen of Hejun, Kangxi gave him a mansion, which was renovated from the House of Internal Affairs and changed to the Mansion of the King of the County.In the second month after the wedding, Ling Guang moved from Prince Yu's mansion.

The area of ​​Hejunwang's mansion is not very large, it is slightly smaller than other Junwang's mansions, but it is more than enough for Lingguang's simple interpersonal relationship. In addition, the interior design is exquisite, with rockery and stones, and winding corridors. Have some elegance.

When Yinfeng arrived, Tajiguli was chatting and laughing with Guo Luoluoshi, while Lingguang was quietly peeling the oranges, tearing them open petal by petal, tearing off all the whiskers on the top, leaving nothing behind before stuffing them into his mouth inside.He ate half of an orange, and gently put the other half on the plate in front of Guo Luoluo.

Yinfeng: I once again lamented that Guo Luoluo's imperial husband is skilled.

Seeing him enter, Guo Luoluo stood up first to salute, and Ling Guang followed suit later.

Yinfeng: ...

After exchanging pleasantries with each other, Yinreng saw the spinning wheel beside Tajiguli, and his eyes lit up: "Is this done?"

Tajigul was extremely excited and couldn't wait: "It has lived up to the high hopes of the prince. After taking so long, it is finally done. I will try to show the prince."

She sat in front of the spinning wheel and started spinning. The spinning wheel was spinning, the spindle was flying, and the silk threads were gathering together.

The structure of the spinning machine is similar to that of the Jenny spinning machine in memory, the only difference is that the Jenny spinning machine originally only had eight spindles, while the spinning machine made by Tajiguli has twelve spindles.In other words, the working efficiency of this spinning machine is higher than that of the original Jenny Spinning!

The smile in Yinrong's eyes widened.

Ling Guang didn't understand: "Prince, why don't you just tell me if you want to make a spinning machine? This thing is not difficult. Whether you make it yourself or leave it to me, it only takes a day or two. How can it take as long as half a year?" The... oops."

Ling Guang covered his arms, looked at Guo Luoluo with doubts and aggrieved eyes: "What are you pinching me for?"

Guo Luoluo stared at her, pulled Taji Guli and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. You are already very good. Don't talk about half a year, even if you give me a year, I can't do it."

Ling Guang frowned: "Isn't it because you are stupid?"

Guo Luoluo: ...

"Ah!" Ling Guang whispered again, complaining, "Why are you pinching me again?"

The corner of Guo Luoluo's mouth twitched: "I made a mistake, I didn't pinch you."

Ling Guang frowned: "It's not good to lie, I've seen it all."

Yinfeng: ...

Tajiguli: ...

Guo Luoluo took a deep breath, pulled Ling Guang, and automatically skipped this topic: "Master, the prince and Miss Bai must have something to say, let's step back first."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Ling Guang's answer or not, he respectfully saluted Yin Reng and pulled Ling Guang to leave.

The two went outside, and Yinreng could still hear their whispers after passing by the Moon Gate.

I don't know what Guo Luoluo said, but Ling Guang looked a little unhappy: "A man should be magnanimous and not haggle over every detail. So you pinch me, but I don't blame you. Why are you still angry? Lying is a bad habit, It’s really not good. Grandpa is right.”

Guo Luoluo was silent.

Ling Guang was in a hurry: "Hey, why are you crying? Don't talk about it. It's okay if you don't talk. Don't cry."

Guo Luoluo whispered something again.

Ling Guang immediately surrendered: "Okay, okay! You can eat whatever you want. I'm going to let someone buy it now? Ah? Yes, I will go, I will go in person. Don't cry."

The two gradually drifted away, and their voices gradually disappeared.

Quietly listened to Yinfeng in the corner: ... Lingguang, you have changed, you have completely changed, you are no longer the Lingguang I knew alone.

"Cough!" Tajiguli coughed lightly, pulling Yinfeng back from his thoughts.

The two sat down, and then they formally talked about the textile machinery.

"Prince, in fact, I know what Hejun Wang said is right. I am afraid that you and Hejun Wang have their own ideas about the textile machine. The reason why you didn't do it yourself, nor let Hejun Wang do it, but took this opportunity Give it to me. Even help me hire a female textile master and a textile machine craftsman, give me time to understand, learn, and guide me step by step. I understand the deep meaning of it.”

Tajiguli slowly clenched his fist and took a deep breath: "I will definitely let the spinning machine play its best role."

Yinfeng nodded: "Since it is a new type of textile machine, have you thought about giving it a name?"

Tajiguli was stunned, she hadn't thought about this level yet.

"Why don't we call it Bai's Textile Machinery?"

Tajiguli hesitated: "I am not the only one who can make the new textile machine. The prince has spent a lot of thought on it. And those weaver girls and craftsmen who were invited to teach me are Min My wife has also benefited me a lot."

Yinfeng interrupted her: "All we give is help, and you are the one who finally makes the spinning machine. What's more, you can't name everyone."

Tajiguli was silent, this is a fact.

"You said, you understand the deep meaning of my giving you the opportunity to make spinning machines, so do you understand the deep meaning of naming the new spinning machines?"

Adding the word "Bai" in front of the name of the textile machine, everyone will know that this textile machine and even Bai Shaoqin, the doctor of the micro-medical center, did it.This is the best publicity, the best plan to spread Tajigul's reputation.

After thinking for a moment, Tajiguli nodded solemnly: "I understand. It's called Bai's Textile Machine. As for Mrs. Min and other weaving girls and craftsmen who have helped me, I will give money and will not treat them badly."

Yinfeng nodded, and asked again: "The spinning machine has been born, have you thought about what to do next?"

"I want to make more textile machines, open a textile factory, and recruit women to work in it. Because I had the idea of ​​opening a textile workshop before, I have been investigating the market. Later, the prince also said that the study of textile machinery and the establishment of a weaving workshop can be carried out at the same time. .

"So the weaving workshop was ready three months ago, and it walked two streets east of the medical hall. Although it is in the city, it is close to the outside of the city, and the area is large. It has been repaired and rectified, and we only need to wait for the spinning machine to be completed. When the personnel are in place, it can be opened."

"Very well. Is there enough money?"

Taji Guli chuckled: "Enough. The amount of silver taels given by the Wu family at the beginning was not small, a full 5 taels. Our textile factory was just established, and the scale is not large. Not to mention one, a hundred is enough. Mrs. Min is a good weaver. I plan to recruit a group of women who know how to weave, and another group of women who can't. The workshop can teach them. This aspect will be taken care of by Mrs. Min.

"As for recruitment and personnel management, I want to do it myself, and let Xiaoman help me. Although Xiaoman is young, he is very sensible and quick to learn.

"I bought her from a kidnapper during my early travels. She has been with me for a few years, and she can read, write, and count. More importantly, she was not very old when she met me. She is deeply influenced by me. I think she can exert a subtle influence on the women in the workshop."

Yinfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's fine for you to be the master of your workshop. You don't need to report everything to Gu."

Tajigul was taken aback for a moment, then raised his eyebrows a little: "Yes."

Although the workshop belongs to Taji Guli, Yinfeng will not interfere casually, but he still gave some advice.

"Recruiting workers in workshops, giving women opportunities to earn money, and enabling them to have an independent economic foundation is the first step. But even if you have money, it will not help if you don't change your mind. Only by reading can you be sensible, and reading starts with literacy. I guess you may think After the workshop recruits workers, gather these female workers and set a time to teach them how to read, right?"

Tajiguli nodded.

Yinfeng added: "But many people, especially women, think that their task is to take care of the family, take care of their husbands and children. They don't think reading is useful, and they even think that literacy delays their time to make money."

Tajiguli understood: "I have thought about this too. So I plan to hold a class every three days and set up an assessment every month. The top five in the assessment will be rewarded with a certain amount of money."

There is money to take, and some people will rush to do things that they were originally reluctant to do.

Yinreng looked at Tajiguli with more satisfaction in his eyes.

Tajiguli was a little embarrassed: "This method still stole from the prince."

Yinfeng:? ? ?

"I've heard a lot about Jingshan Academy and Shangshufang from Hejun Wang Fujin, and I know some rules and regulations. Now Jingshan Academy has bursaries and scholarships, doesn't it?"

Yinfeng suddenly realized.Although the method was not originally created by Taji Guli, it is also her ability to draw inferences from one instance and turn it into her own use.

Tajiguli pondered for a while, and then said: "I heard that Jingshan College has poetry clubs, painting clubs, etc. Students in the school can choose the clubs they like to join, and participate in the activities organized by the clubs after studying. There is a club called Debating It is very interesting. A topic is selected every month for students from both sides to debate. I think this can also be used for reference.”

Yinrong's eyes flickered: "What kind of reference method?"

"The female workers who enter the workshop are different from the students. Naturally, they don't know how to debate. We can change the form and turn the debate into sharing. We organize a sharing meeting every ten days to gather everyone and let everyone tell the stories they have prepared.

"This story doesn't matter whether it is a personal experience, an observation, or a reading from a storybook. Of course, there are too many stories to tell. In order to be more targeted, we can also set a theme each time. Let everyone Tell stories related to the topic.

"Whether or not to tell a story is completely voluntary, but as long as you tell a story, you will get money. There will be extra rewards for the top three who tell a good story."

Yinrong clapped his hands and applauded.

"For money, they will definitely rack their brains and guts to figure out the story. As long as the theme is cleverly limited, the story they tell must be what we want.

"As long as there is a story, the listeners will always have their own ideas. After the story is told, it's time for everyone to discuss. You and the people in the medical center can use this to express your opinions, act moderately in the early stage, and put forward more neutral opinions , and then show real thoughts and opinions a little bit according to the situation.

"Even if the female workers can tell stories, the people in the medical hall can also participate in telling them. You can also make up suitable stories for them and tell them. Many of the stories you told the people in the medical hall can come in handy."

Yinreng looked at Tajiguli, and had to say, this method is really wonderful.

Humans are environmental animals and are influenced by those around them.For example, you originally thought that the sky was square, but everyone around you told you that the sky was round. Gradually, you will also feel that you were wrong before, and the sky is indeed round.

What Tajiguli wants to do is to enclose these female workers in the world of the workshop, shape the environment little by little, and tell them that the world is different from what they used to know.

Of course, the operation here needs to be very particular and cautious.Not too aggressive, not too cringeworthy.

Looking at the confident and eager Taji Guli, Yinfeng curled his lips, thinking that Taji Guli might be able to do well.

Tajiguli was very happy to be affirmed by the prince, and she said again: "Prince, I have been reading the laws and regulations of the Qing Dynasty recently."

Yinfeng:? ? ?

"I always remember that you said that in fact, there are some provisions in the laws of the Qing Dynasty that are applicable to both parties in marriage, and some of them can even help women when they are wronged or suffering. It's just that most ordinary people don't understand the laws. Some women who understand do not dare or think of using laws and regulations as a weapon to protect themselves. If there is no support from their natal family, condemnation from those around them, etc., they can only be forced to compromise.

"I want to understand these laws clearly. Maybe... Maybe one day, someone will come to me, not afraid of the eyes of the world, and not afraid of the opposition of my mother's family, and make a request to me. At that time, I hope I can Know how to make better use of legitimate means, stand on the cornerstone of the Qing Dynasty's laws, and seek justice for her.

"I also know that even if I understand and understand, with my ability, it may be difficult to accomplish things. So, I want to ask, if there is such a moment, will the prince..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yinfeng nodded: "Guhui will support you."

The corners of Tajiguli's mouth twitched, and he bowed: "Thank you, Prince!"

"It doesn't have to be. We help each other. I'm helping you, and I'm helping myself."

Tajiguli smiled.

After the matter was agreed, Yinfeng got up and left, and Lingguang and Guo Luoluo came to see him off.

Ling Guang opened his mouth and asked: "Tajiguli wants to set up a textile factory, and Fujin said he wants to get a share. I wonder if the crown prince thinks it is good?"

Yinfeng was a little confused.

Guo Luoluo wanted to die, so Jing Mimi pulled Ling Guang hard.Ling Guang was inexplicable: "Didn't you just say that you want to pay for a share in the textile factory in Tajiguli, and you are worried that the prince will not agree? I am not asking for you? You are afraid that the prince will not agree, and the prince is right there. , just ask, don’t you know?”

Guo Luoluo: ... Is she married to a stick!

Seeing the little actions of the couple, Yinfeng felt a little sour all of a sudden.

Lemon fruit on the lemon tree, under the lemon tree... I'm so sour under the tree!

He cast his resentful eyes on Ling Guang: "Brother Guang, have you heard a word?"

"what?"

"Show affection, die quickly."

Ling Guang:? ? ?

Yinfeng turned around and left.

Guo Luoluo felt uneasy: "What does the prince mean by that?"

Ling Guang was more confused than she: "I don't know."

"The prince said that he is not dead, is he angry?"

Ling Guang shook his head: "The prince doesn't look really angry. If he was really angry, he wouldn't call me brother Guang."

When Guo Luoluo thought about it, he was right.

While the two were in doubt, Xiao Zhuzi went back and forth: "He Junwang, Fujin. Miss Bai's workshop needs confidence, and Fujin is willing to help. The prince said that he took it. The matter of participating in the shares depends on Miss Bai." the meaning of."

Ling Guang nodded, "I see, you go back and serve the prince."

Xiao Zhuzi left, Ling Guang looked at Guo Luoluo with a smile: "I said the prince will definitely agree. You see, the prince is not angry, don't worry? You have said it all, you are kind. You join the workshop, others After inquiring, knowing that you have a share in the workshop, even if you want to make a move, you will not dare to make a move, which will save you a lot of trouble. How could the crown prince disagree."

Guo Luoluo glanced at him, the reason is this, and she really wants to take this opportunity to get in touch with the prince, if she helps the prince, it is tantamount to helping Ling Guang, which can continuously increase the prince's favor towards her and the county prince's mansion Sensitivity can also let Ling Guang see her strengths and promote the relationship between husband and wife.

But who knows what the prince thinks.Maybe the prince has other plans?If so, not only would it be inappropriate for her to intervene hastily, it would also be self-defeating.

"The prince doesn't like to beat around the bush. If you have anything to say, just ask him directly. Do you feel tired after guessing?" Ling Guang naturally took Guo Luoluo's hand, "Go back. Didn't you say you want to understand Me, will you study with me? I haven't finished the paper just now. You can't give up halfway."

Guo Luoluo: ... Do you really understand that I want to learn from you? The word learning is just an excuse. My purpose is to get along with you!Who wants to do homework with you every day, and be your student being scolded by you!

However, Ling Guang didn't know about Guo Luoluo's inner depression, and while pulling her in, he said, "You made a lot of mistakes in today's paper, and they are all the most basic things. Some of them are the ones I just talked about a few days ago." Yes. Why are you so stupid."

Guo Luoluoshi: ... My heart is stuffy, my hands are itchy, and I want to beat someone up.

Tajiguli: ...Should I disappear?disappear?Or disappear?
