The road to becoming a god through the Red Mansions

Chapter 131 Abandoned Crown Princess

The business of the Xie family is in full swing. Although there were many critics at the beginning, those who participated in this matter were all wives and girls of high-ranking families. It changed.

What's more, this is a real good thing, and it is entrusted with the name of the first emperor and the first empress to contribute money and efforts for the poor people, and the people who have been favored will naturally understand the truth.Therefore, the praise for these aristocratic women quickly spread to the capital, coupled with the help of caring people, it is said that there are some living Bodhisattvas descending to the earth.

Mrs. Xie was a little displeased with this, she was out of good intentions, but was abused like this, it seemed that she was a person who was trying to gain fame.But just like the beginning, this matter cannot be done by her alone. Since she has borrowed the power of others, she will naturally have to pay a price. Mrs. Xie understands the reason, but it does not delay her secretly getting angry.

On this day, Mrs. Xie waved off the servants, and sat alone by the window, thinking about how to proceed to the next step.At this moment, greetings from the palace people came from outside the door, and it turned out that it was Situ Yao who had come.

"Aren't you busy today? Why are you here now?" Mrs. Xie stood up to greet her.

Situ Yao waved back the servants who followed, and jokingly said: "I heard that the empress is in a bad mood recently, and she didn't even take a few sips of breakfast. Everyone said that the empress is having conflicts. Your lord Tai Tuo told me not to concentrate on political affairs. But he neglected his wife, so I came to coax the empress."

Mrs. Xie didn't expect this to be the reason. From her point of view, she and Situ Yao are just a cooperative relationship. When she was doing Mrs. Xing's mission, she also came here with such respect.But after thinking about it, the royal family is different from other families after all, there is no privacy at all, and if there is a slight disturbance, it is the matter of the whole world.

"It's not my fault, I made you a scapegoat." Xie felt a little guilty. Situ Yao has been busy and crazy recently, but he still worries about such inexplicable things.

Situ Yao waved his hand and comforted him softly: "I'm tired of dealing with those sour rots every day. It's good to come to you to hide and relax, and change your mind. It's just that I see that you are really unhappy recently, but what happened?"

Mrs. Xie said this again, and then said with some distress: "I originally intended to liberate those women, but now it seems that they have become a means for the men of the family to gain fame and fortune for themselves. This is really not what I want. willing."

"Then let me ask you, have you achieved your goal of establishing Baigong School and Women's Embroidery Workshop?" Situ Yao asked unhurriedly after taking a sip of tea.

Mrs. Xie nodded: "These things went very smoothly. A few families wanted to gain a good reputation, and they also established a few extra charitable halls, and adopted some homeless orphans and widows."

"Since this is the case, why are you angry? They have paid a lot, but they just want a good reputation, so why not allow it?" Situ Yao calmly explained Xie's words, "People from this family, either for the name or for the sake of their reputation. Not for profit. There is absolutely no profit in the short term to open a school, if you can use your reputation to induce people to contribute money and effort, wouldn't it be beautiful."

Xie suddenly came to her senses, and immediately realized that she was too idealistic. She only did tasks for merit, how could she expect others to be selfless.Moreover, the more desireless a person is, the more he desires, those who only want to have a good reputation for themselves are more likely to be used by her.

Xie, who was suddenly enlightened, immediately understood what to do next.She held a flower viewing banquet first, and invited all the wives and girls to come, and praised the family that had made great efforts.Afterwards, stone monuments were erected at the entrances of various schools, and all the noble ladies who contributed money and efforts had engraved their history and life in detail, which can be regarded as gaining a good reputation for them.

As soon as this move came out, it greatly stimulated the desire of all the families to contribute money and effort.In particular, rumors spread in the palace, saying that after the expiration of the country's filial piety, there will be a draft today, and the scope of selection will be the daughters of high-ranking and wealthy families. If they have a good reputation, they may not be unable to enter the palace in the future Be a lady.

Mrs. Xie stared dumbfounded at the ledger sent in. Every family seemed to be killing mad, and the white money flowed into her Baigongtang.Among them, Jia Shiwang Xue's family took the lead, and Jia Shi's family donated 80 taels of silver in the name of his daughter Jia Min, taking the top spot.

With these money, Xie's layout began to extend to the two lakes and the Jiangnan area.Wealthy businessmen are entrenched there, especially the giant salt merchants who spend money like water. A plaque bestowed by the empress herself can be exchanged for 10 taels of silver.

Xie's side is full of firepower, and the newly built Shantang School has sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Situ Yao's progress is also quite good. He has someone with money in his hands, and he can mobilize troops to travel at will.So after forcibly suppressing the opposition in the court, Situ Yao mobilized a fleet and formed a long-distance voyage army. Taking the chart left by the Xie family in Qin Keqing's world, he followed the chart and embarked on the journey .

Situ Yao has traveled countless times in various worlds, and has accumulated a wealth of experience. The naval leaders taught by him seem to be on the hook, and the success reports are frequent.Every time the court received news, it was about where the navy had discovered gold and silver mines, where there was a large expanse of land that was desolate and uninhabited.

It caused the whole court to fluctuate. Everyone thought that the overseas land was full of gold. The ministers who were obstinately opposed and held the idea that they were the best of the world had secretly changed their minds at this moment.Everyone is thinking about how to get a share of it. Some of them are quick and have already formed their own fleet, thinking about going out to sea next time and occupying an advantageous position first.

Situ Yao is happy to see the success of this. His purpose is to obtain benefits by means of shipping, and the other is to alert the people of Dagan. There are many countries.

And no matter how much wealth these great families made by means of shipping, Situ Yao just needs to collect taxes as the emperor, which is indeed a position that is sure to win without compensation.

The long-distance fleet returned successfully in the early spring of the second year.They not only brought back huge wealth and many novelty objects, but also brought back many blonde foreigners.

Boxes of good things were continuously sent to the emperor's private treasury, but Situ Yao didn't have time to take a look at them. Instead, he had secret conversations with those foreigners who were brought into the palace all night long.

This time out to sea, Situ Yao's apparent tasks for everyone were, of course, friendly neighborliness, drawing charts, etc., but the order to die secretly was to bring back as many overseas scientists as possible at all costs.Because history has changed several times, there are many people in this continent who bury their heads in piles of old books and make stereotypes, but very few people can bear the patience to delve into scientific and technological inventions.

As for Situ Yao and Xie, although they have a lot of information in their hands, they can be used as taskers, but they cannot change the course of the small world for no reason.Nowadays, Dagan doesn't have any in his own country, so naturally he can only look for them from foreign countries. It just so happens that these things have already appeared in this small world, so Situ Yao will naturally make good use of them and guide them to make what they want.

And these scientists who came to Dagan Kingdom in a daze, either being fooled or threatened, sincerely feel that the emperor of Dagan Kingdom is really a genius!

These research experts feel that the communication with Situ Yao is really enjoyable.Whether it's astronomy, geography, or physical chemistry, all kinds of unconstrained conjectures are feasible in Situ Yao's place. The emperor never laughed at their whimsy, but praised them greatly, and even gave them a lot of money. Give them research.

Everyone just feels like they are in heaven. What they need to do every day is to study and study again. All other trivial matters will be isolated from the research room. It feels great to devote yourself to what you like. .

Therefore, when Situ Yao suggested that they write letters and invite more friends and colleagues to come, most of the researchers agreed without hesitation.Letters filled with enthusiasm, with the sea caravan set sail, scattered to various places, and brought more talents back to Dagan Kingdom.

In such cheating development, the national strength of Dagan country has been improved by a qualitative leap.The R&D and use of various machines has greatly improved the productivity level of the Dagan country and liberated many human resources.

In order to prevent the common people from having nothing to do, Situ Yao proposed to open factories, and a large number of textile factories, food factories, handicraft workshops, etc., blossomed all over the Dagan Kingdom.All kinds of items produced by these factories were continuously exported to overseas countries, in exchange for a lot of precious gold, silver and jewelry for the Dagan country, making the pot stronger and stronger.

Moreover, during the voyage of the fleet, they also encountered many sparsely populated islands, which also had fertile land and abundant resources.

Land will always have a supreme status in the hearts of the people of Dagan country. In addition, many advanced farming tools have been invented, and many high-yielding grain seeds have been brought back to Dagan country, which has inspired the ordinary people even more. The desire to farm.

But the fact is that most of the people do not have enough land to cultivate, and a large amount of good land is monopolized in the hands of aristocratic families, but the people who work diligently can only rent and cultivate the land of the landlords, and can only live That's all.

Situ Yao naturally wanted to resolve this matter, and he issued an overseas development order.The whole country is ordered: All the people who go overseas to open up wasteland can receive a subsidy of ten taels of silver from the treasury, plus three months of rations.In addition, with the family as the unit, you can also receive a set of farming tools from the local government for free, exempting you from taxes for five years.

This order caused a sensation in the whole country.And these years, the Dagan Kingdom is the most marginal place, and they already know that overseas is a rich place, but they just suffer from no chance to travel. Now that the imperial court has given great support, many people are ready to move.
