After I resigned, I became popular in the whole universe [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 53 The steam train in ancient times
Blood was sprinkled all over the dragon chair, and red and white things flowed out from the regent's head.
The eunuch on the side let out a heart-piercing scream, and the ministers below were all so frightened that their legs went limp.
Everyone looked at Si Qi, who had killed the emperor with a single finger, in horror, and couldn't even make a louder voice in astonishment.
The ministers who were watched by Si Qi's eyes all knelt down on the ground with guilt. If Si Qi raised his hand inadvertently, he couldn't control the screams of fear in his heart, and kept shouting "Forgive me, forgive me!" me".
Seeing them screaming miserably, Si Qi looked indifferent, and said indifferently: "If I knew today, why bother?"
Chu Fian gave them a chance before, but the result was unsatisfactory. No one was optimistic about Chu Fian and was willing to swear to the death for him to maintain the orthodoxy of Chu State.
If you think so, you have already been imprisoned on various charges by the regent and a group of ministers, and those who stay are of course the Four Princes Party.
Now the only regent who can compete with Chu Feng for the throne is dead, and his death is so legitimate that he has no power to fight back.
No matter how powerful this group of ministers are in the court, it is impossible to temporarily elect a new prince at this time to compete with the prince who is about to inherit the throne and has just won the war. .
It's not that no one tried to argue, saying that the crown prince, Chu Fen, killed the regent cruelly and unreasonably, regardless of his brother's feelings.
As a result, just as he finished speaking, Si Qi pointed at the center of his brows, and a bloody black hole appeared in front of his forehead. .
This way of death is really too weird, the surrounding ministers were all frightened and silent when they saw this, no one dared to speak nonsense anymore.
Not to mention whether they could win over His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was right and sound from beginning to end, and Si Qi, who stood by without changing his expression, could make them so scared that they didn't dare to vent their anger.
Soon, the body of the usurper and rebel regent was moved down, and the blood-stained dragon chair was carefully wiped clean by the eunuchs.
Chu Yan sat indifferently on the bloody dragon chair not long ago, looked at the dozens of ministers below who were sweating profusely and passed out, and focused on a few things.
One was to inquire about the burial of the late emperor, and after confirming that the Fourth Prince had not hastily concluded his father's funeral, his expression became a little calmer.
The second is to put on the table the fact that the fourth prince colluded with important ministers to rebel, and let the ministers summarize the various rebellious acts committed by the fourth prince during this period of time and write them as a memorial. I believe they must know how to describe it. of.
In the end, with everyone's expressions of sympathy, Chu Feng accepted that Si Qi was the chief assistant of the state of Chu, and announced that he would inherit the throne in three days.
Before retreating from the court, he looked meaningfully at the people who were full of potential hidden dangers all over the court, and said: "Whoever should be liquidated, Gu will be liquidated with you one by one. Before that, everyone will work hard for Gu. If you can make atonement , maybe, the disaster will not be as bad as your family, and it will be over with only one of your lives."
Many ministers were sobbed by Chu Yan's words, and they fell to their knees in unison, with regretful expressions on their faces.
After leaving the main hall, Si Qi said to Chu Yan who was not in a good mood: "Your Highness, I will always be by your side, clean up the court for you, and return you to a piece of sea and river."
Hearing this, Chu Yan turned his head to look at the young man beside him, his serious expression gradually became gentle: "With Aiqing's words, Gu will feel more at ease."
Next, they have a lot to do.
--
The new emperor ascended the throne and amnesty the world.The fact that the Regent assassinated His Majesty and took the opportunity to rebel while His Majesty went to the frontier to defend against foreign enemies quickly spread throughout the Chu Kingdom along with the news of his enthronement.
The daughter of the world covered her face, listening to the diners in front of them talking loudly and wantonly insulting the Fourth Prince, she fell down on the table and cried helplessly.
I knew in my heart that there would be no good fruit for that person staying there, and I just thought that since I couldn't take that person away, it would be good to let that person stay in the safest place for protection.There are gunpowder and many soldiers left by her in the palace, so it is impossible to be beaten unilaterally without any power to fight back.
But who would have thought that just meeting on the first day of junior high school and being pointed at by Si Qi across the air, the powerful regent died in an unexplained manner, leaving no room for resistance.
Even after his death, he couldn't get a decent posthumous name, no matter how many accusations Chu Feng imposed, he couldn't refute him, and he was forever and ever nailed to the pillar of shame in history, being reviled by generations to come.
"Why..." The daughter of the world covered her face and sobbed, "Why did you kill him...why..."
The loyal little maid at the side wiped away her tears and asked her, "Mother, where are we going next?"
The daughter of the world sobbed a few times, her eyes were red and she said bitterly: "Leave Chu State and go to other countries! I don't believe that what Si Qi can do, I, Zhao Er, will not be able to do!"
She wants to take the enemy army and horses to flatten the palace of Chu State, and let the villain who killed her husband die without a place to bury him! !
It's a pity that the next second after the words fell, the guard sensed that the surrounding situation was not right, quickly picked up the long sword in his hand, and lowered his voice to the daughter of the world: "Your Majesty, there are pursuers!"
Zhao Er's ferocious expression suddenly froze, tinged with fear.He quickly pulled the veil on his face, and hurriedly left the restaurant through the back door.
After a while, countless officers and soldiers with knives rushed in, blocked the place, and carefully checked everyone present.
After a while, they learned that a masked woman had just escaped from the back door, and they quickly separated a group of people to chase it out.
This chase took several months.
A few months later, Si Qifan looked at the book in his hand, reviewed the paper quality, ink staining, punctuation marks, etc. of the book, nodded and said: "That's right, let's print it like this."
The director of the book factory wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, nodded and bowed in agreement, but his tone was rather bitter: "Master Chief Assistant, of course there is no problem with printing, but you may send more soldiers to protect the factory..."
Si Qi raised his eyebrows: "Are you in trouble?"
The factory manager nodded, and said helplessly, "If it weren't for Cao Min's fate, you might only see my dead body today."
Si Qi pondered slightly.
He knew that unifying punctuation marks and selling the precious books in the hands of the powerful to the common people at a low price was tantamount to infringing on their authority and making their superior status less unshakable.
Unexpectedly, knowing that their stance was firm and uncontroversial, they still came here to pull out their beards and seek their own death.
Obviously, as long as he is obedient and obedient, he can still live. Why must he choose to fight against Si Qi for the sake of his former glory and status? Isn't it a question of whether he can survive.
After all, Si Qi told Chu Fen about this matter, and Chu Fen thought about it for a long time, and gave him a reply of "but it's okay to do it".
Even the emperor, who is in power, decided to take a risk and let the people be sensible and fluent. What qualifications do they have to oppose his policies?
Si Qi nodded slightly, reassuring the factory manager that he would send someone over to protect the safety of everyone in the factory.
After going out, before taking two steps, Si Qi noticed some unkind eyes coming from somewhere, and Si Qi raised his finger, and a group of guards who came out of nowhere quickly rushed over there.
After a while, screams sounded from the corner, and the guards brought the half-dead man to Si Qi, and interrogated him as a killer sent by a certain big family.
Si Qi's expression was indifferent, he glanced at the man and left, leaving only one emotionless sentence: "Get rid of it."
In the next second, there was an extra corpse in the world.
Putting the book that had just been tried and printed in his arms, Si Qi came to the palace and saw the emperor who was reviewing the memorial.
Seeing Si Qi's arrival, the emperor put down the memorial in his hand, and said kindly, "Aiqing is here, why?"
Si Qi stepped forward and put the boxy, flat books with no holes in them on Chu Feng's desk.
Chu Yan picked it up and took a look, and was amazed: "Sure enough, as Ai Qing said, the strokes are clear and the spacing is uniform, as if they were printed neatly! How long will it take for a book like this to be published?"
Si Qi: "Your Majesty, with the current scale of the printing factory, it can print four hundred copies a day."
Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, and asked, "How many people are there in that factory?"
Si Qi recalled: "Counting the six essential technical employees, there are also ten people who perform repetitive tasks."
Of course, if Si Qi had the time to manufacture the automatic lathe, I am afraid that no one would be needed to produce thousands or even tens of thousands of such books in a day.
"Are there only 16 people..." Chu Feng said in a complicated tone, "No wonder the group of traitors are so panicked."
The once precious knowledge is printed on the book in such a simple and clear form with punctuation, and it can be read without the guidance of a teacher.And the price is so low that no matter how poor the family is, they can still afford one or two copies.
If the scale of the printing factory was larger, it would not be long before everyone in the Chu Kingdom would have a copy of such a book, and the impact would be simply explosive.
At that time, the intellectual and cultural level of the people in the Chu Kingdom will advance by leaps and bounds within a few years, and all kinds of talents will continue to appear. □, entering the court one after another.
Emperor Chu no longer had to be restrained by those rebellious officials, and he didn't have to be restrained in doing anything.
Just thinking about it makes me excited.
Si Qi heard the unfinished meaning in Chu Yan's words, and asked with concern: "Did those ministers cause trouble for His Majesty again? Do you need me to take care of them?"
Chu Yan shook his head: "People who can take over their jobs have not yet been trained, so let's keep them for a while longer."
Si Qi nodded to express his understanding: "By the way, your majesty, besides the printing factory, I have also produced a textile machine that can increase the efficiency by a hundred times. But before this machine is put on the market, the Ministry of Households needs to find major merchants Sign a contract to avoid vicious competition in the future."
Chu Yan wondered: "Is it the turn of weaving after books? You casually created that kind of shocking and powerful thing... What is the specific content of the contract?"
Si Qi gave an example: "A large store with strong funds maliciously lowers the price to fight a price war with other stores, and because of the emergence of textile machines, large-scale dismissal of old employees and so on."
These are all social phenomena caused by the appearance of the spinning jenny in history, or conflicts and disputes that are bound to erupt after similar products enter the market.
Every time Si Qi introduced a new policy, he would directly resolve the various conflicts that would be caused by this policy before they even appeared.
Many people only realized after a long time that the matter had not been done in accordance with the method Si Qi said, what hidden dangers would arise.
And Si Qi not only formulated so many excellent and outstanding policies, but also calculated clearly the events that these policies will lead to in the next few years or even decades.
While admiring him, many people really have to sigh with emotion that Si Qi is more intelligent than a demon, there is nothing he can't do in the world.
The more you get to know him, the more terrifying you will feel about him.
Chu Yan wondered more than once, if he hadn't met Si Qi, would he have been able to turn the tide and regain the trust of his father in the fight for the throne.Can you escape the assassination of Zhao Er and his wife in the back and come back from the battlefield alive.And can he completely grasp Chao Gang in just a few months, and methodically hold all the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty in the palm of his hand, so that they have to grit their teeth and listen to him.
Si Qi put the design drawing of the spinning jenny machine on the table, which was considered an important high-tech core secret to some extent.After Chu Yan put it away, he asked curiously, "Why did you think of designing this thing?"
During this time, Si Qi has been busy helping him with government affairs and balancing the situation, and occasionally created some new gadgets to promote the development of all aspects of the country.
Basically, they are doing big things like setting up a printing factory. Comparatively speaking, mere spinning and weaving are too trivial. At first glance, there is really no place worth wasting Si Qi's energy. place.
Si Qi: "Your Majesty, do you think that if we intend to attack neighboring countries, will they be able to stop us?"
Chu Yan replied without hesitation: "Of course not!"
Si Qi nodded and said: "When I build a giant steel ship for you and bring all the territory across the sea under your banner, your territory will expand to a thousand times larger than it is now, and you will need countless A talented person from Qing Dynasty will serve you."
Chu Yan suddenly said: "That's why you are so eager to cultivate a large number of talents."
"This is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the current ministers are really too useless." Si Qi said helplessly: "If they realize that the talents of the people are no longer weaker than them, Your Majesty has plenty of candidates to appoint. This group of guys who eat vegetarian meals will work desperately to solve His Majesty's worries and problems."
Chu Yan nodded: "Indeed. But... what does this have to do with your making looms?"
Si Qi: "Your Majesty, if I were a woman..."
Chu Yan's expression tightened, his back subconsciously straightened up, he held his breath and listened to Si Qi's next words.
"Will you still reuse me?"
Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said decisively: "Of course!"
Si Qi nodded and said, "So, Your Majesty, whether a person is talented or intelligent has nothing to do with gender."
Chu Feng thought for a moment, then nodded seriously: "What Ai Qing said is true, women can also have great talents."
Si Qi: "Then, the question comes back. At a time when Your Majesty needs talents so much, wouldn't it be a pity if you only use men and discard those smart women?"
Chu Yan looked at Si Qi in astonishment, and was speechless for a long time.
After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "Aiqing means that women can also be officials?"
Chu Yan has been by Si Qi's side for so long, and his thinking has been trained by Si Qi to be very sharp and clear, so Si Qi just mentioned something, and Chu Yan directly guessed Si Qi's ultimate goal, and was shocked by this unprecedented, even shocking, experience. The statement was quite shocking.
Si Qi said slowly: "Your Majesty, if women's talents are not weaker than men, why not? Just because they are women, even if they have the talents of ministers, let them only be husbands and teachers for the rest of their lives. Are things limited to the boudoir? I don’t understand why this is the case.”
Chu Feng was silent.
After a while, he said, "So, you thought of the loom?"
Si Qi couldn't help being a little relieved to see that Chu Feng didn't have Long Yan angrily scolding and refuting him, and was even willing to patiently ask him.
"I want women to be respected by society."
It is the first step of his plan to let women earn as much income as men through weaving.
Only when women have a certain right to speak in society can the following things be better advanced.
Chu Yan rubbed his forehead with some difficulty, as if he had already foreseen how much bloody storm these things would cause in the court in the future.
He said: "Okay. You just go ahead and do it. Whether it succeeds or not, I don't blame you."
Si Qi looked at Chu Yan firmly.After a while, seeing that Chu Min's face was about to burn, he slowly raised the corners of his lips, and said with a light smile, "It's my luck to meet such a wise king as Your Majesty."
Chu Yan covered his face with his hands, and said in a vague voice: "Ai Qing is joking. In the whole world, there is nothing hard to get you. If you want to, not to mention the chief assistant, even the lord of a country may not be able to be Yes. It is my luck to stay in Chu State as my chief assistant."
Si Qi said in a relaxed tone: "I don't want to go to other countries, I just want to be by Your Majesty's side and spend this life with you."
"?!!"
Chu Yan raised his head in disbelief, and looked at Si Qi in astonishment.
Si Qi came to his senses, chuckled, waved his hands and said, "I didn't mean that, I just... just expressed my feelings."
Chu Yan's ears turned red, turned his head away, and said in a hoarse voice: "Ai Qing, please don't tease me."
Si Qi laughed lightly, "Hahahaha..."
Chu Feng in this life is too cute.
Shy like this, in her late twenties, she still hasn't accepted her concubine, if no one reminds her, she might think about the matter of the harem at some point.
Speaking of the last life, Chu Yan was just like him, single until he was old all his life.Could it be that the two brothers are really so unlucky.
Si Qiwan said: "It's time for Your Majesty to consider the issue of heirs."
Chu Yan: "..."
Chu Yan lowered his eyes, and said in a calm tone: "The government affairs are busy at the moment, so wait a little longer."
Si Qi nodded and praised: "Your Majesty is really diligent in governing and caring for the people."
"Where's Aiqing?" Chu Yan asked him, "Have you ever met a woman you like?"
Si Qi pondered for a moment, and said: "I'm busy with business, and I don't care about other things. If I can't be with the other party day and night, wouldn't I be ashamed of their love for my minister? Moreover, I want to find someone who can talk to me well." Come, someone who makes me feel comfortable getting along with him."
Chu Feng couldn't tell if he was relieved, or his heart was full of sour water, and he said jealously: "Can I chat with Ai Qing? Such a woman is hard to find."
In this huge country of Chu, he is probably the only one who can accept Si Qi's ideas again and again, support him wholeheartedly, and understand him.
Constantly learning the knowledge that Si Qi knew, trying his best to understand Si Qi's inner thoughts, for him, an emperor, was actually no easier than the Outline of Governing the Dynasty.
But he's still happy with it.
"Yes." Si Qi smiled, and said indifferently: "It's fate to meet you, and you don't have to force it if you don't."
The meaning behind this sentence caught Chu Feng's eyes, and he subconsciously wanted to take the opportunity to say yes behind his back.
But when the words came to his lips, looking at the clear and bright eyes of the young man, Chu Yan hesitated for a moment, and persuaded with a twist of heart: "A man's life is considered complete only when he has a family and a career."
Si Qi: "Maybe, but His Majesty is older than the minister, and he is not yet married, so the minister is not in a hurry."
Chu Yan raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that if I don't take concubines all my life, you have a reason not to marry a wife all my life?"
Si Qi smiled: "That's really a good reason."
Chu Feng helplessly laughed.
I can't tell whether it is bitterness or happiness.
--
Seven years later.
On the square paved with blue-gray bricks of uniform size, there are people with relaxed smiles after get off work.
The daughter of the world who fled all the way and finally sneaked into the capital, looked at the scene in front of her in a daze and felt uncomfortable.
It was as if she had inadvertently returned to the modern world, surrounded by futuristic people in light clothing.
And she was wearing a reserved ancient costume that tightly covered her body and face, making the people around her look at her with some doubts in their eyes.
This situation, which is completely opposite to the past, made her feel complicated, as if she had a thousand words to confide.
Standing with her was the prince of a certain country who had just suffered a catastrophe of annihilation not long ago. At this moment, he was gnashing his teeth and looking at the bulletin board in front of him, which was covered with various newspapers and announcements.
In the newspaper, Chu State officials once again announced the news of conquering the new country, expanding the territory of Chu State.
This kind of national event is no longer a novelty to the people of Chu State.Not even the headlines of today's newspaper, occupying only a small corner.
What people are more concerned about is that Si Shoufu designed a new dress for his sister Si Peihuan a few days ago, which looks beautiful and good-looking after wearing it.
Walking into the clothing store, it is full of girls who are buying new clothes.
Take a look at these women walking on the street with bare arms and legs. There is no shame or shyness on their faces, only confidence and cheerfulness.
None of the nearby men or women of the older generation showed disgust and rejection in their eyes, but occasionally showed appreciation, showing respect from the bottom of their hearts.
--In the end what happened?
The daughter of the world, who has been hunted down all these years and cannot escape Si Qi's shadow no matter where she flees, is about to collapse.
After entering the state of Chu, she saw and heard things along the way that she never dared to imagine.
As a modern person who traveled from the future world, he saw the things that once appeared in his memory, one after another, reappeared in front of his eyes.That shocking and exaggerated reaction was not even as good as the ancients who had long been accustomed to it.
She knew that Si Qi was powerful, otherwise she wouldn't have developed the steam engine so quickly, and wouldn't have pushed her into such a desperate situation that she almost died several times.
But she still didn't expect that Si Qi's power is not only able to help the king of Chu assist Chao Gang and make some small inventions.He has changed the world! !
Take a look at the giant steel wheel that occupies half of the plate, with photos attached... Is this something that can appear in this era?After Si Qi conquered this continent, is he going to conquer other plates next?
At what step will he go before he stops... When in this life will he be able to relax and take a breath!
Pulling the veil on her face sadly, Zhao Er covered her face even more discreetly.
Seeing this, a passing girl couldn't help walking over, and asked her with concern, "Are you okay?"
Zhao Er's tone was difficult: "...what do you mean?"
The girl said worriedly: "I mean, why are you dressed like this? Are you locked up by your family, so you don't know what's going on outside? Now that men and women are equal, don't listen to the people around you and think that you are a man." accessories... If your personal freedom is forcibly restricted and you are required to wear this kind of clothes and stay at home, you can go to the government and sue them!"
Zhao Er smiled wryly, "This kind of clothes? Men and women are equal? Hehe, hehehe..."
The more she talked, the more uncomfortable she felt, and she was so uncomfortable that she was about to cry.
At the beginning, she wore light clothes and tried her best to let people understand that women can also decide their own clothes and choose their own lives.But as a result, everyone regarded her as an outlier, saying that she was promiscuous, and that she behaved badly.
Why is it that after Si Qi came, he praised what kind of clothes look better, and everyone would madly pursue Si Qi's preferences, so that they could wear those simple and good-looking clothes without any scruples...
so unfair...
When the girl saw Zhao'er crying, the pain in her eyebrows and eyes became even worse.Just as he was about to continue talking, Prince Mieguo turned his head when he heard Zhao Er's cry, and seeing the interaction between the two women, he immediately frowned, and said in a disgusted tone: "Go away! You lowly and shameless woman! "
The girl was scolded inexplicably, and she was in a daze at the time.After reacting, she blushed with anger, pointed at the prince and cursed: "Who do you say has no shame! Well, it's great to think that you are a man, right? No wonder she was dressed like this on a hot day, even her face You dare not show it outside, you forced her! Everyone, hurry up! There is a feudal man here who is swearing!"
When the surrounding people heard the words, they gathered around to protect the scolded girl.The prince looked at the group of Chu people who caused the destruction of his country with hatred, and his heart was full of anger.
Just as he was about to draw out his weapon to teach the people around him a lesson, Zhao Er held him tightly and begged, "No, hurry up, the police will definitely be here soon, and I'll be finished if they find me!!"
"What is a policeman?" The prince subconsciously asked, seeing Zhao'er's red eyes from crying, he could only grit his teeth unwillingly, nodded heavily, and rushed out of the crowd with Zhao'er.
The people around quickly shouted: "Stop him! This man is bullying women! You must not let him go!!"
"What? Another guy like this has appeared? See if I don't scold him to death!"
"What a poor girl... This kind of man should go to school to learn basic ideological education! Wash his stubborn head!"
The more Zhao Er listened, the more she collapsed. She and Prince Wang fled back to the inn, crying hoarsely, lying on the bed in the inn.When I found out that even the bed was made of spring sponge, Simmons couldn't help crying even louder.
The author has something to say:--
The last sentence is a bit of a joke.
The eunuch on the side let out a heart-piercing scream, and the ministers below were all so frightened that their legs went limp.
Everyone looked at Si Qi, who had killed the emperor with a single finger, in horror, and couldn't even make a louder voice in astonishment.
The ministers who were watched by Si Qi's eyes all knelt down on the ground with guilt. If Si Qi raised his hand inadvertently, he couldn't control the screams of fear in his heart, and kept shouting "Forgive me, forgive me!" me".
Seeing them screaming miserably, Si Qi looked indifferent, and said indifferently: "If I knew today, why bother?"
Chu Fian gave them a chance before, but the result was unsatisfactory. No one was optimistic about Chu Fian and was willing to swear to the death for him to maintain the orthodoxy of Chu State.
If you think so, you have already been imprisoned on various charges by the regent and a group of ministers, and those who stay are of course the Four Princes Party.
Now the only regent who can compete with Chu Feng for the throne is dead, and his death is so legitimate that he has no power to fight back.
No matter how powerful this group of ministers are in the court, it is impossible to temporarily elect a new prince at this time to compete with the prince who is about to inherit the throne and has just won the war. .
It's not that no one tried to argue, saying that the crown prince, Chu Fen, killed the regent cruelly and unreasonably, regardless of his brother's feelings.
As a result, just as he finished speaking, Si Qi pointed at the center of his brows, and a bloody black hole appeared in front of his forehead. .
This way of death is really too weird, the surrounding ministers were all frightened and silent when they saw this, no one dared to speak nonsense anymore.
Not to mention whether they could win over His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was right and sound from beginning to end, and Si Qi, who stood by without changing his expression, could make them so scared that they didn't dare to vent their anger.

Even after his death, he couldn't get a decent posthumous name, no matter how many accusations Chu Feng imposed, he couldn't refute him, and he was forever and ever nailed to the pillar of shame in history, being reviled by generations to come.
"Why..." The daughter of the world covered her face and sobbed, "Why did you kill him...why..."
The loyal little maid at the side wiped away her tears and asked her, "Mother, where are we going next?"
The daughter of the world sobbed a few times, her eyes were red and she said bitterly: "Leave Chu State and go to other countries! I don't believe that what Si Qi can do, I, Zhao Er, will not be able to do!"
She wants to take the enemy army and horses to flatten the palace of Chu State, and let the villain who killed her husband die without a place to bury him! !
It's a pity that the next second after the words fell, the guard sensed that the surrounding situation was not right, quickly picked up the long sword in his hand, and lowered his voice to the daughter of the world: "Your Majesty, there are pursuers!"
Zhao Er's ferocious expression suddenly froze, tinged with fear.He quickly pulled the veil on his face, and hurriedly left the restaurant through the back door.

This chase took several months.
A few months later, Si Qifan looked at the book in his hand, reviewed the paper quality, ink staining, punctuation marks, etc. of the book, nodded and said: "That's right, let's print it like this."
The director of the book factory wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, nodded and bowed in agreement, but his tone was rather bitter: "Master Chief Assistant, of course there is no problem with printing, but you may send more soldiers to protect the factory..."
Si Qi raised his eyebrows: "Are you in trouble?"
The factory manager nodded, and said helplessly, "If it weren't for Cao Min's fate, you might only see my dead body today."
Si Qi pondered slightly.
He knew that unifying punctuation marks and selling the precious books in the hands of the powerful to the common people at a low price was tantamount to infringing on their authority and making their superior status less unshakable.
Unexpectedly, knowing that their stance was firm and uncontroversial, they still came here to pull out their beards and seek their own death.
Obviously, as long as he is obedient and obedient, he can still live. Why must he choose to fight against Si Qi for the sake of his former glory and status? Isn't it a question of whether he can survive.
After all, Si Qi told Chu Fen about this matter, and Chu Fen thought about it for a long time, and gave him a reply of "but it's okay to do it".
Even the emperor, who is in power, decided to take a risk and let the people be sensible and fluent. What qualifications do they have to oppose his policies?
Si Qi nodded slightly, reassuring the factory manager that he would send someone over to protect the safety of everyone in the factory.
After going out, before taking two steps, Si Qi noticed some unkind eyes coming from somewhere, and Si Qi raised his finger, and a group of guards who came out of nowhere quickly rushed over there.
After a while, screams sounded from the corner, and the guards brought the half-dead man to Si Qi, and interrogated him as a killer sent by a certain big family.
Si Qi's expression was indifferent, he glanced at the man and left, leaving only one emotionless sentence: "Get rid of it."
In the next second, there was an extra corpse in the world.
Putting the book that had just been tried and printed in his arms, Si Qi came to the palace and saw the emperor who was reviewing the memorial.
Seeing Si Qi's arrival, the emperor put down the memorial in his hand, and said kindly, "Aiqing is here, why?"
Si Qi stepped forward and put the boxy, flat books with no holes in them on Chu Feng's desk.
Chu Yan picked it up and took a look, and was amazed: "Sure enough, as Ai Qing said, the strokes are clear and the spacing is uniform, as if they were printed neatly! How long will it take for a book like this to be published?"
Si Qi: "Your Majesty, with the current scale of the printing factory, it can print four hundred copies a day."
Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, and asked, "How many people are there in that factory?"
Si Qi recalled: "Counting the six essential technical employees, there are also ten people who perform repetitive tasks."
Of course, if Si Qi had the time to manufacture the automatic lathe, I am afraid that no one would be needed to produce thousands or even tens of thousands of such books in a day.
"Are there only 16 people..." Chu Feng said in a complicated tone, "No wonder the group of traitors are so panicked."
The once precious knowledge is printed on the book in such a simple and clear form with punctuation, and it can be read without the guidance of a teacher.And the price is so low that no matter how poor the family is, they can still afford one or two copies.
If the scale of the printing factory was larger, it would not be long before everyone in the Chu Kingdom would have a copy of such a book, and the impact would be simply explosive.
At that time, the intellectual and cultural level of the people in the Chu Kingdom will advance by leaps and bounds within a few years, and all kinds of talents will continue to appear. □, entering the court one after another.
Emperor Chu no longer had to be restrained by those rebellious officials, and he didn't have to be restrained in doing anything.
Just thinking about it makes me excited.
Si Qi heard the unfinished meaning in Chu Yan's words, and asked with concern: "Did those ministers cause trouble for His Majesty again? Do you need me to take care of them?"
Chu Yan shook his head: "People who can take over their jobs have not yet been trained, so let's keep them for a while longer."
Si Qi nodded to express his understanding: "By the way, your majesty, besides the printing factory, I have also produced a textile machine that can increase the efficiency by a hundred times. But before this machine is put on the market, the Ministry of Households needs to find major merchants Sign a contract to avoid vicious competition in the future."
Chu Yan wondered: "Is it the turn of weaving after books? You casually created that kind of shocking and powerful thing... What is the specific content of the contract?"
Si Qi gave an example: "A large store with strong funds maliciously lowers the price to fight a price war with other stores, and because of the emergence of textile machines, large-scale dismissal of old employees and so on."
These are all social phenomena caused by the appearance of the spinning jenny in history, or conflicts and disputes that are bound to erupt after similar products enter the market.
Every time Si Qi introduced a new policy, he would directly resolve the various conflicts that would be caused by this policy before they even appeared.
Many people only realized after a long time that the matter had not been done in accordance with the method Si Qi said, what hidden dangers would arise.
And Si Qi not only formulated so many excellent and outstanding policies, but also calculated clearly the events that these policies will lead to in the next few years or even decades.
While admiring him, many people really have to sigh with emotion that Si Qi is more intelligent than a demon, there is nothing he can't do in the world.
The more you get to know him, the more terrifying you will feel about him.
Chu Yan wondered more than once, if he hadn't met Si Qi, would he have been able to turn the tide and regain the trust of his father in the fight for the throne.Can you escape the assassination of Zhao Er and his wife in the back and come back from the battlefield alive.And can he completely grasp Chao Gang in just a few months, and methodically hold all the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty in the palm of his hand, so that they have to grit their teeth and listen to him.
Si Qi put the design drawing of the spinning jenny machine on the table, which was considered an important high-tech core secret to some extent.After Chu Yan put it away, he asked curiously, "Why did you think of designing this thing?"
During this time, Si Qi has been busy helping him with government affairs and balancing the situation, and occasionally created some new gadgets to promote the development of all aspects of the country.
Basically, they are doing big things like setting up a printing factory. Comparatively speaking, mere spinning and weaving are too trivial. At first glance, there is really no place worth wasting Si Qi's energy. place.
Si Qi: "Your Majesty, do you think that if we intend to attack neighboring countries, will they be able to stop us?"
Chu Yan replied without hesitation: "Of course not!"
Si Qi nodded and said: "When I build a giant steel ship for you and bring all the territory across the sea under your banner, your territory will expand to a thousand times larger than it is now, and you will need countless A talented person from Qing Dynasty will serve you."
Chu Yan suddenly said: "That's why you are so eager to cultivate a large number of talents."
"This is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the current ministers are really too useless." Si Qi said helplessly: "If they realize that the talents of the people are no longer weaker than them, Your Majesty has plenty of candidates to appoint. This group of guys who eat vegetarian meals will work desperately to solve His Majesty's worries and problems."
Chu Yan nodded: "Indeed. But... what does this have to do with your making looms?"
Si Qi: "Your Majesty, if I were a woman..."
Chu Yan's expression tightened, his back subconsciously straightened up, he held his breath and listened to Si Qi's next words.
"Will you still reuse me?"
Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said decisively: "Of course!"
Si Qi nodded and said, "So, Your Majesty, whether a person is talented or intelligent has nothing to do with gender."
Chu Feng thought for a moment, then nodded seriously: "What Ai Qing said is true, women can also have great talents."
Si Qi: "Then, the question comes back. At a time when Your Majesty needs talents so much, wouldn't it be a pity if you only use men and discard those smart women?"
Chu Yan looked at Si Qi in astonishment, and was speechless for a long time.
After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "Aiqing means that women can also be officials?"
Chu Yan has been by Si Qi's side for so long, and his thinking has been trained by Si Qi to be very sharp and clear, so Si Qi just mentioned something, and Chu Yan directly guessed Si Qi's ultimate goal, and was shocked by this unprecedented, even shocking, experience. The statement was quite shocking.
Si Qi said slowly: "Your Majesty, if women's talents are not weaker than men, why not? Just because they are women, even if they have the talents of ministers, let them only be husbands and teachers for the rest of their lives. Are things limited to the boudoir? I don’t understand why this is the case.”
Chu Feng was silent.
After a while, he said, "So, you thought of the loom?"
Si Qi couldn't help being a little relieved to see that Chu Feng didn't have Long Yan angrily scolding and refuting him, and was even willing to patiently ask him.
"I want women to be respected by society."
It is the first step of his plan to let women earn as much income as men through weaving.
Only when women have a certain right to speak in society can the following things be better advanced.
Chu Yan rubbed his forehead with some difficulty, as if he had already foreseen how much bloody storm these things would cause in the court in the future.
He said: "Okay. You just go ahead and do it. Whether it succeeds or not, I don't blame you."
Si Qi looked at Chu Yan firmly.After a while, seeing that Chu Min's face was about to burn, he slowly raised the corners of his lips, and said with a light smile, "It's my luck to meet such a wise king as Your Majesty."
Chu Yan covered his face with his hands, and said in a vague voice: "Ai Qing is joking. In the whole world, there is nothing hard to get you. If you want to, not to mention the chief assistant, even the lord of a country may not be able to be Yes. It is my luck to stay in Chu State as my chief assistant."
Si Qi said in a relaxed tone: "I don't want to go to other countries, I just want to be by Your Majesty's side and spend this life with you."
"?!!"
Chu Yan raised his head in disbelief, and looked at Si Qi in astonishment.
Si Qi came to his senses, chuckled, waved his hands and said, "I didn't mean that, I just... just expressed my feelings."
Chu Yan's ears turned red, turned his head away, and said in a hoarse voice: "Ai Qing, please don't tease me."
Si Qi laughed lightly, "Hahahaha..."
Chu Feng in this life is too cute.
Shy like this, in her late twenties, she still hasn't accepted her concubine, if no one reminds her, she might think about the matter of the harem at some point.
Speaking of the last life, Chu Yan was just like him, single until he was old all his life.Could it be that the two brothers are really so unlucky.
Si Qiwan said: "It's time for Your Majesty to consider the issue of heirs."
Chu Yan: "..."
Chu Yan lowered his eyes, and said in a calm tone: "The government affairs are busy at the moment, so wait a little longer."
Si Qi nodded and praised: "Your Majesty is really diligent in governing and caring for the people."
"Where's Aiqing?" Chu Yan asked him, "Have you ever met a woman you like?"
Si Qi pondered for a moment, and said: "I'm busy with business, and I don't care about other things. If I can't be with the other party day and night, wouldn't I be ashamed of their love for my minister? Moreover, I want to find someone who can talk to me well." Come, someone who makes me feel comfortable getting along with him."
Chu Feng couldn't tell if he was relieved, or his heart was full of sour water, and he said jealously: "Can I chat with Ai Qing? Such a woman is hard to find."
In this huge country of Chu, he is probably the only one who can accept Si Qi's ideas again and again, support him wholeheartedly, and understand him.
Constantly learning the knowledge that Si Qi knew, trying his best to understand Si Qi's inner thoughts, for him, an emperor, was actually no easier than the Outline of Governing the Dynasty.
But he's still happy with it.
"Yes." Si Qi smiled, and said indifferently: "It's fate to meet you, and you don't have to force it if you don't."
The meaning behind this sentence caught Chu Feng's eyes, and he subconsciously wanted to take the opportunity to say yes behind his back.
But when the words came to his lips, looking at the clear and bright eyes of the young man, Chu Yan hesitated for a moment, and persuaded with a twist of heart: "A man's life is considered complete only when he has a family and a career."
Si Qi: "Maybe, but His Majesty is older than the minister, and he is not yet married, so the minister is not in a hurry."
Chu Yan raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that if I don't take concubines all my life, you have a reason not to marry a wife all my life?"
Si Qi smiled: "That's really a good reason."
Chu Feng helplessly laughed.
I can't tell whether it is bitterness or happiness.
--
Seven years later.
On the square paved with blue-gray bricks of uniform size, there are people with relaxed smiles after get off work.
The daughter of the world who fled all the way and finally sneaked into the capital, looked at the scene in front of her in a daze and felt uncomfortable.
It was as if she had inadvertently returned to the modern world, surrounded by futuristic people in light clothing.
And she was wearing a reserved ancient costume that tightly covered her body and face, making the people around her look at her with some doubts in their eyes.
This situation, which is completely opposite to the past, made her feel complicated, as if she had a thousand words to confide.
Standing with her was the prince of a certain country who had just suffered a catastrophe of annihilation not long ago. At this moment, he was gnashing his teeth and looking at the bulletin board in front of him, which was covered with various newspapers and announcements.
In the newspaper, Chu State officials once again announced the news of conquering the new country, expanding the territory of Chu State.
This kind of national event is no longer a novelty to the people of Chu State.Not even the headlines of today's newspaper, occupying only a small corner.
What people are more concerned about is that Si Shoufu designed a new dress for his sister Si Peihuan a few days ago, which looks beautiful and good-looking after wearing it.
Walking into the clothing store, it is full of girls who are buying new clothes.
Take a look at these women walking on the street with bare arms and legs. There is no shame or shyness on their faces, only confidence and cheerfulness.
None of the nearby men or women of the older generation showed disgust and rejection in their eyes, but occasionally showed appreciation, showing respect from the bottom of their hearts.
--In the end what happened?
The daughter of the world, who has been hunted down all these years and cannot escape Si Qi's shadow no matter where she flees, is about to collapse.
After entering the state of Chu, she saw and heard things along the way that she never dared to imagine.
As a modern person who traveled from the future world, he saw the things that once appeared in his memory, one after another, reappeared in front of his eyes.That shocking and exaggerated reaction was not even as good as the ancients who had long been accustomed to it.
She knew that Si Qi was powerful, otherwise she wouldn't have developed the steam engine so quickly, and wouldn't have pushed her into such a desperate situation that she almost died several times.
But she still didn't expect that Si Qi's power is not only able to help the king of Chu assist Chao Gang and make some small inventions.He has changed the world! !
Take a look at the giant steel wheel that occupies half of the plate, with photos attached... Is this something that can appear in this era?After Si Qi conquered this continent, is he going to conquer other plates next?
At what step will he go before he stops... When in this life will he be able to relax and take a breath!
Pulling the veil on her face sadly, Zhao Er covered her face even more discreetly.
Seeing this, a passing girl couldn't help walking over, and asked her with concern, "Are you okay?"
Zhao Er's tone was difficult: "...what do you mean?"
The girl said worriedly: "I mean, why are you dressed like this? Are you locked up by your family, so you don't know what's going on outside? Now that men and women are equal, don't listen to the people around you and think that you are a man." accessories... If your personal freedom is forcibly restricted and you are required to wear this kind of clothes and stay at home, you can go to the government and sue them!"
Zhao Er smiled wryly, "This kind of clothes? Men and women are equal? Hehe, hehehe..."
The more she talked, the more uncomfortable she felt, and she was so uncomfortable that she was about to cry.
At the beginning, she wore light clothes and tried her best to let people understand that women can also decide their own clothes and choose their own lives.But as a result, everyone regarded her as an outlier, saying that she was promiscuous, and that she behaved badly.
Why is it that after Si Qi came, he praised what kind of clothes look better, and everyone would madly pursue Si Qi's preferences, so that they could wear those simple and good-looking clothes without any scruples...
so unfair...
When the girl saw Zhao'er crying, the pain in her eyebrows and eyes became even worse.Just as he was about to continue talking, Prince Mieguo turned his head when he heard Zhao Er's cry, and seeing the interaction between the two women, he immediately frowned, and said in a disgusted tone: "Go away! You lowly and shameless woman! "
The girl was scolded inexplicably, and she was in a daze at the time.After reacting, she blushed with anger, pointed at the prince and cursed: "Who do you say has no shame! Well, it's great to think that you are a man, right? No wonder she was dressed like this on a hot day, even her face You dare not show it outside, you forced her! Everyone, hurry up! There is a feudal man here who is swearing!"
When the surrounding people heard the words, they gathered around to protect the scolded girl.The prince looked at the group of Chu people who caused the destruction of his country with hatred, and his heart was full of anger.
Just as he was about to draw out his weapon to teach the people around him a lesson, Zhao Er held him tightly and begged, "No, hurry up, the police will definitely be here soon, and I'll be finished if they find me!!"
"What is a policeman?" The prince subconsciously asked, seeing Zhao'er's red eyes from crying, he could only grit his teeth unwillingly, nodded heavily, and rushed out of the crowd with Zhao'er.
The people around quickly shouted: "Stop him! This man is bullying women! You must not let him go!!"
"What? Another guy like this has appeared? See if I don't scold him to death!"
"What a poor girl... This kind of man should go to school to learn basic ideological education! Wash his stubborn head!"
The more Zhao Er listened, the more she collapsed. She and Prince Wang fled back to the inn, crying hoarsely, lying on the bed in the inn.When I found out that even the bed was made of spring sponge, Simmons couldn't help crying even louder.
The author has something to say:--
The last sentence is a bit of a joke.
