History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]
Chapter 108
In Yuqing Palace, the prince clenched his fists violently after hearing the news, and walked around the room.
After learning that his bluffing trick was reported to Khan Ama, the prince knew that the matter was done.
This matter was originally a trap for those who were staring at him, and there was no so-called wooing at all.
No matter how much courage is given to the prince, he will not dare to win over the nine admirals. The nine admirals are Khan Ama's most loyal watchdog. Even if he wins him over, does Tuoheqi have the guts to betray Khan Ama?
What's more, he was tightly guarded by Khan Ama, and he couldn't move at all. It was a delusion to want soldiers and horses near the capital, but if he wanted to succeed, he had to have soldiers and horses. They can't help but retreat, so they can only bite the bullet.
If it doesn't work in the capital, then look outside the capital. The prince sent several people to persuade several governors. Only the governor can mobilize troops.In order to cover up his real purpose, there was the previous time to scare the snakes, and as a result, several snakes were surprised.
The prince was a little resentful, he didn't expect that so many people wanted to pull him down.
Fourth Master returned to the mansion, still full of joy in his heart, and received the report as soon as he changed his clothes.
Only then did he remember that before he left, someone had to check on Liu Shilan.
Hearing the secret report from the visitor, all the joy in Fourth Master's heart dissipated.
It's Liu Shilan who dared to make it up on his own and tricked Lao Jiu. Fourth Master Nian didn't send anyone to scold him because of his usual loyalty, but he still held his breath in his heart.
The trouble caused by this person's self-assessment, the blame is thrown on his back, and he has to bear it if he doesn't.
Hearing such a sad thing, even the joy of being praised by Khan Ama before was gone.
"Lead the way ahead, go to your Master An!" After the visitor withdrew, Fourth Master changed his clothes and went out, saying to Su Peisheng who was guarding the door.
Su Peisheng carefully said yes with his face.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year had come to an end. Only the red lanterns lit in the yard seemed to still have the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year.
At this time, Minning had finished his dinner and was playing with his four children inside the house.
Playing with building blocks made of sandalwood, Yuan Bao and his three siblings built a big house together.
When fourth master walked in, he saw that the room was bustling with activity.
It was still cold outside at this time, and it would still freeze at night, and the earth dragon in the mansion hadn't withdrawn yet, so the house was very warm, and when the curtains were lifted, one could feel the warmth coming from the house.
Fourth Master looked at the blankets that were spread all over the floor as soon as he entered the door, and imitated the people in the room, took off his shoes and stepped on them with bare feet.
Minning heard the movement at the door and looked over, "Grandpa, are you back?" As he spoke, he stepped forward to help him take off his cloak. Inside was a thin down jacket. Dressing so indecently, he should have changed it after returning home. Up.
The fourth master gave a "hmm" and looked at the four children. Yuan Bao took the lead to salute the fourth master, and the remaining three children followed suit in a decent manner.
Minning asked him again if he had eaten?
Fourth Master nodded, "Don't worry about me, I used some dim sum at Han Ama's place."
Minning touched his cold hand, and led him into the house, "That's not okay, how can dim sum be eaten as a serious meal?"
Then he ordered the people outside to bring a bowl of hot noodle soup, and ordered another bowl to be delivered to Su Peisheng.
Su Peisheng smiled and thanked him quickly, then turned around and went to the tea room next to him. Unlike Fourth Master, he could still eat snacks, but he drank the cold wind all afternoon in Changchun Garden.
Fourth Master sat down and waved his hands, letting the children play by themselves.
After washing his hands in the warm water basin, he picked up a cotton towel and wiped his hands while saying to Minning, "Khan Ama said that I will send some cement to Changchun Garden to repair a place tomorrow. I don't understand this. Tomorrow Send some innocent people to the garden together."
As soon as Minning heard it, he probably knew that this person had gone to offer treasures to the emperor again, and he knew something was wrong when he looked at the concrete floor in the morning.
Later, he changed the topic to concrete, and Minning probably knew his plan.
"Okay, I have a special construction team in the capital to build houses, repair bridges and pave roads for people. I will send a letter to people later, and send a few people over tomorrow. By the way, did Long Live tell you how long the repairs will be? I'll ask someone to prepare some cement and sand."
The emperor didn't say how much, the fourth master thought it must be small, he thought that Han Ama might want to test the hardness of the cement.
After hearing this, Min Ning probably had an idea in his mind, "That's fine, send ten bags first, this kind of thing can't be used if it gets wet, and then continue to send it after the ten bags are used up."
Fourth master held her hand and squeezed it to agree.
At this time, a maid brought a food box outside, Minning took it and opened the food box with her own hands and took out a bowl of chicken soup noodles, with a poached egg and a few green vegetables lying on it.
It's appetizing just looking at it, let alone smelling it.
The three little ones smelled the fragrance, dropped the wooden block and got up and ran over. Three pairs of eyes looked over eagerly.
Minning looked at these little rascals, and said angrily, "Didn't you eat them all? It's too late to eat any more."
The fourth master took the chopsticks, picked out a piece of noodles and was about to feed them to the children, but Minning stopped him, "I had already eaten a lot when I woke up in the afternoon, and now I brought them to play for a while because of accumulated food. Digestion, I have to go to sleep later, I can’t eat any more.”
Among the three children, the two boys are easy to talk to. Honghao has a fragile stomach, but he is not hungry, but just joins in the fun with his older brothers and sisters.Hongxuan is considered sensible, and after hearing what E Niang said, she didn't force her.Among them, Tiantian is probably the most difficult to talk, unlike her brothers who have already sat back to play, she is still lying on Si Ye's hands and knees and watching eagerly.
The fourth master couldn't bear to look at it, so he directly fed the noodles into Tiantian's mouth.
Tian Tian held her face and smiled, and Minning directly pulled her over, "Okay, I've eaten enough, let's go play."
After the little girl ran to sit with her elder brothers and younger brothers, Minning sighed and said to the fourth master, "Your daughter has been raised to become a little fat pig, and she never stopped talking all day long. After eating like this, who will want her?"
The fourth master held the chopsticks and stared at her with a straight face, "How can my daughter worry about getting married?" What's more, a child under three years old looks so chubby, unlike Xiao Liu, who is so small, fourth master It hurts every time I look at it.
Although she is one size smaller than her elder brother and sister, she is still supported.
Fourth master likes to see the children can eat and drink.
It is good to be able to eat and drink, so that the body will be strong and able to grow up.
Before dawn the next day, Fourth Master got up to wash up. After Minning heard the movement, he yawned and forced his sleepy eyes to get up.
"Why did you get up too? You slept in your bed." Fourth Master came back from washing and put on his clothes. When he turned around, he saw her sitting by the bed and putting on her shoes.
"Master, why did you get up so early today?" Dragging his shoes, he walked up to Fourth Master and helped him button them up. After looking at them, he realized that he was wearing court clothes, so he asked, "Today is the court?"
The Great Court is usually once every two days, but the emperor is getting older and doesn't have so much energy to go to the morning court, so he changed it to once every five days.
This is considered hard work. If it comes to fourth master's son, it will be once every ten days.There are not many times in a year, because the emperor does not stay in the capital for a long time in a year.
The fourth master closed his eyes and said "um", and waited for Minning to help him put on the beads and hat before opening his eyes.
"If you want to go to court in the morning, you don't have to wait. After dawn, you directly send the people and cement to the gate of Changchun Garden, and we will arrange it after the court is over."
Minning nodded, looking at his unsightly hairstyle, which was covered by the hat, finally felt that the awkwardness was gone.
That thin braid is really awkward, but fortunately the men's hats here don't leave their heads.
She has been here for a long time, and her aesthetic sense has been distorted. When she can have more hair, even if she evolves into a yin and yang head.
"Go on to sleep, my master is leaving." After the fourth master got dressed, he turned and left after giving instructions.
Minning hurriedly told someone to pack a few freshly baked shortbreads for Su Peisheng to take with him, so that Fourth Master could have a hot bite in the carriage anyway.
After the morning court, the fourth master called Liang Jiugong. After Liang Jiugong heard this, he immediately called two eunuchs to pick up people and cement at the door.
The cement and the craftsmen were brought to the West Garden together. Liang Jiugong pointed to a piece of flat near the lake and said, "Yesterday, the Lord Long Live asked the servants to pull up the vegetation on this piece of land overnight. This place is closest to the lake. Every year When the water is changed, this area is easy to be washed away, and it will be better after planting grass and trees in the past two years, Lord Long Live said, first use this piece of ground to test the cement and see how it works?"
Fourth master nodded, and then handed over all the work to the cement and craftsmen.
After all, it is not to withstand the impact of big waves, so it does not need to be supported together with steel bars.
The craftsmen were busy with their work, Fourth Master followed Liang Jiugong to a pavilion not far away, and talked while watching the craftsmen at work.
"... Seeing that Eunuch Liang also invested money to start the company, I thought I was wrong when I first saw it." After all, this old guy is not lacking in filial piety when he is accompanying the Holy One.
Liang Jiugong said with a smile on his face, "It's just meddling with those old guys. After those old guys left the palace, they could only commit themselves to a temple for the rest of their lives. Later, there were too many eunuchs there. It can support so many idlers. A few days ago, a few old guys sent a letter to our family, thinking about investing some money to participate in the sea trade of Lord Baylor's main board. After going out, I was afraid of it. Then, pull our family in and make a flag."
Over the years, the palace has granted grace several times and released several groups of people out of the palace.
The maids are okay, no matter how old they are, they can find a place to commit themselves to, the difficulty lies in the eunuchs.
Once these rootless people entered the palace, they had abandoned their relationship with their ancestors. For these eunuchs, the palace was their home for life, and leaving the palace was equivalent to being kicked out of the house, with nowhere to go.
Some were able to return home with money and clothing, but this was only a small part.
Many eunuchs directly took the money they had saved all their lives and entered the temple to become monks, so they had a place to hide.
If eunuchs are rootless people, why are they greedy for money?Isn't it just that there is a place to hide when you are old, and you have no heirs and only silver can be relied on.Names are their lifeblood, and only with money can they enjoy their old age in peace.
Many temples in the capital were opened by eunuchs who were out of the palace.
As time went on, there were too many eunuchs, no matter how big the temple was, they were all poor people, they could only hug each other to keep warm, and no one was willing to drive anyone out.
So several old eunuchs who had been kind to Liang Jiugong sent letters to him, asking him to help start a company and participate in maritime trade.
If it is just a group of eunuchs who have already left the palace to set up a company, they may be kicked out by the people below on their own initiative before reaching the fourth master. After all, not everyone can participate in this first sailing trade, there is only a certain number of places. If you choose this one, there must be another one that will definitely not be able to participate.But if Liang Jiugong's name is in it, it's a different situation, at least no one dares to be so blatant.
Who is Liang Jiugong?The chief eunuch in front of the emperor, is there anyone in this capital who hasn't heard of this name?
But then the submitted information really came to fourth master.
Fourth Master didn't discriminate against these eunuchs, and just followed the normal review procedures.
Hearing what Liang Jiugong said about the current situation of the eunuchs leaving the palace, Fourth Master also had a headache. There are a large number of eunuchs in the palace, and only a small part of them can live in the palace for the elderly. Most of them come out when they are old. Palace, just find a place to die.
Listening to it like this, I always feel a little mean and unkind.
For the time being, Fourth Master didn't have any good solutions, but it was commendable that these people found their own way out.
He planned to check it after he went back, and if the company had no problems, he would directly let them pass the audit.
"Eunuch Liang, please don't worry, as long as there is no problem with the source of the company's money, basically everything can be done."
Liang Jiugong smiled and said, "That's definitely not a problem. It's the money of a few old guys for retirement. I have to thank An Fang Fujin. She opened several factories, but no matter whether it is a man or a woman, some crafts can be found. Especially the last time Long Live God showed mercy, the eunuchs and maids in the palace were snatched up by the recruiters at the gate as soon as they were released." Since it doesn't matter whether they are male or female, the eunuchs are naturally accepted.
The fourth master was a little surprised when he heard that, he had heard that Minning's factories were short of workers, but he didn't expect to make his mind on the group of people released from the palace.
Some of these people couldn't find a home, and most of them were eunuchs. It was better to have a place to stay temporarily than to live in a temple.
Fourth master was also a little satisfied, especially when he heard Liang Jiugong praise An Jia's actions.
The piece of land by the pool didn't look that big, and soon the craftsmen paved the piece of land, sprinkled gravel, paved it with cement, and waited to dry after smoothing it.
Fourth master was surprised, "That's all right?" It turned out to be so simple.
One of the craftsmen looked at the leader and replied cautiously, "As for the nobleman, if the sun is good, the land will be dried in the afternoon. Then spread it with sacks at night, and uncover it in the morning tomorrow. "It would be good if it took only one noon in Xia Tian.
The fourth master was dubious when he heard this, but Liang Jiugong who was at the side admired, "If this is the case, then it will be convenient to build bridges and pave roads."
Only now did Fourth Master come to his senses, no matter whether he harbored doubts or not, he would know when he came over tomorrow and had a try.
After sending the craftsmen out, the remaining cement sand was moved to a nearby empty house to prevent it from getting damp.
Liang Jiugong bowed his hands to the fourth master, "Our family is going to report the good news to Lord Long Live, and we can't stay here with Lord Baylor."
The fourth master immediately returned his hand, "Eunuch Liang, please go, I'll wait here for a while." He was still worried about the freshly made flat ground, fearing that someone would come and make trouble.
Liang Jiugong cupped his hands and left.
Fourth Master just stood there with his hands behind his back, feeling the precipitous spring breeze.
About half an hour later, I heard a series of footsteps coming from a distance.
"Fourth!"
As soon as the fourth master turned his head, he saw the emperor standing not far from him. He hurriedly stepped forward to meet him, and knelt down on one knee five steps away from the emperor, "I will see you, Ama Khan."
The emperor asked him to stand up, and then asked him with a smile, "I heard that the concrete floor has been paved, so I came here to take a look. Why didn't you come and tell me that you are here alone?"
The fourth master looked uncomfortable, and finally said in a low voice, "My son is afraid that some birds will land on this concrete floor and make footprints."
There are many birds in the palace, the most common bird is crows, and there are also many birds in the Changchun Garden, and even a flock of wild ducks, especially in the recent spring return, the birds migrated from the south to the north, Some stayed in the garden.
The emperor laughed loudly, "You, you, what do you want me to say about you? Aren't there guards around here, just order them to guard, why do you need to guard yourself yourself?"
Fourth Master looked embarrassed, touched his nose and said, "This cement matter is very important, I don't worry about others looking at it."
The emperor felt his innocence, and patted him on the shoulder in relief.
Compared with other sons fighting for power and profit, only the fourth son is willing to do practical things.
The emperor put those bad things behind him, and then led fourth master towards the concrete floor.
The emperor looked at the flat concrete floor, which was still damp, and a thin layer of water had even accumulated in some places.
But the emperor's heart was full of enthusiasm. Someone had reported to him before that the concrete road built in the park was much better than the stone roads and loess roads in the city.
The dark guard even used a knife to cut across the concrete floor, but the knife was cut open, and only a white mark remained on the cement.
If it weren't for the strange eyes looking at him, the hidden guard might even take out the firecrackers to test the hardness of the ground.
But it doesn't matter, if the hidden guards can't try it, then let the emperor himself try it.
The emperor was very happy to accept this experiment. If he could really withstand the fire, the emperor squinted his eyes, then such an important thing could not be controlled by the people, and had to be taken over by the court.
After inspecting the cement, because it was not dry, it was useless to think about it now, the emperor praised the fourth master, ordered someone to guard the concrete, and dismissed the fourth master casually.
It's not like a Baylor master has nothing to do, so he should do what he should do, don't rely on his talents to be used for nothing.
The job of guarding is still done by the guards of Changchun Garden.
Fourth master used cement to spread a wave of goodwill in front of the emperor, and soon many people got the news.
After the prince heard this, he also felt strange, but he was thrown into trouble temporarily by the eighth master, so he was in a hurry and didn't think deeply at all.
The boss was planning to use his strength to pull the prince off the horse. Hearing that the fourth child was doing this, he wished that the fourth child would work harder. In his opinion, the fourth child wanted to break away from the prince and set up his own family, which was a good thing.If the fourth son was the prince who left, the prince would have lost his arm.
The third child snorted coldly, and continued to look for the eighth child to feel uncomfortable.
The fifth and the seventh have nothing to do with themselves as always.
After Ba Ye heard it, he thought about it for a while, and secretly sighed that the fourth child was lucky. He met such a woman who can make money and have children. From time to time, he can come up with new things to make Han Ama happy.
Originally, the fourth son was not rich, and he did not stand out among the brothers, but An Jia gave birth to four children at once. Triplets are rare in the royal family. .
When Lao Jiu heard this, he sneered all over, and then complained to Lao Ten, "Only Lao Si, that insidious villain, can still be rewarded by Khan Ama, God is really annoying."
Old Ten hastily covered his mouth, sweating coldly from fright.
If God doesn't open his eyes, isn't that because Khan Ama doesn't know people clearly?If this gets out, Khan Ama will have to give him a good meal later.
The thirteenth brother was really happy for the fourth brother when he heard it. Last night, he was called by Khan Ama, and he was severely criticized, saying that he had framed the prince.
Being scolded really made him sad. Afterwards, he checked overnight and found out that the prince was just putting on a show. Although he sent someone to contact Tuo Heqi, it was only in the name of a relationship, asking someone to watch the show. Neither said.
He went to report so excitedly, but he didn't find out anything clearly, as if he was complaining, so it's no wonder he was reprimanded by Khan Ama.
As for Shisi rolled his eyes when he heard the news, and was told by Concubine De, who also heard the news, to walk around the fourth brother's house, but he only had a falling out with fourth brother yesterday, so how could he be at this time? face again?
As soon as he heard Concubine De say that, he found an excuse and slipped away.
Concubine De, who was behind Tuliu, hated that iron could not be made into steel. Fourteenth was spoiled by her, and my brother couldn't say anything, so he found a ladder for him, but he didn't even know how to climb it down.
On the second day, fourth master went to Changchun garden again in the morning.
He was anxious to look at the concrete floor, but the emperor seemed not to notice, and discussed things with him slowly.
Fourth master bit the bullet and listened to the emperor.
The emperor raised his eyes to look at him, and smiled secretly in his heart. Although this kid changed his moodiness when he was young, it is not so easy to change his true temperament, but he reappeared after a while.
The emperor was not in a hurry, because someone reported early in the morning that the cement was already hard, and people would not leave footprints if they stepped on it.
The emperor didn't let anyone move him, but planned to wait the whole morning, and then test it when it was harder in the afternoon.
Stayed for lunch again.
Fourth Master didn't return to his normal state until he sat down to eat, he would see it sooner or later, and there was no rush.
After lunch, I walked for a while with Khan Ama. Although I said I was strolling in the garden, it was not close to the concrete floor in the back garden.
Fourth master felt a little helpless, he finally saw that Khan Ama was just teasing him.
Afterwards, fourth master kept a calm face, no matter how the emperor provoked him, he didn't make any movement.
The emperor looked bored, and the emotional fourth child had already noticed it.
Now that he had noticed it, the emperor stopped teasing him, and he wanted to go and have a look anyway.
"Pull over!"
Liang Jiugong called out at the right time, "Show me!"
The imperial chariot was carried over, and after the emperor sat on it, the imperial chariot got up and walked slowly towards the West Garden.
The West Garden is the westernmost part of the Changchun Garden. Few people come here, because the craftsmen in yesterday were all outsiders, so they only chose the West Garden to repair a piece of land near the gate opening.
This is just an experimental site. If the effect is good, the surrounding area may be transformed.
Who wouldn't want to take this kind of road without stagnant water and mud?
After arriving at the West Garden, I saw many people gathered in front of the river dam from a distance. These people were all carrying knives, surrounded by a piece of flat ground.
After the imperial chariot stopped, the guards all knelt down. Through these kneeling figures, Fourth Master also saw the darkened concrete floor in front of him. This color was different from the whitish one in the park. It looks as if the moisture has not dried out.
The emperor got off the imperial chariot, and Liang Jiugong came to help him.
After the emperor came down, he waved away Liang Jiugong's hand and walked forward with great interest.
Fourth Master hurriedly followed.
The emperor yelled to flatten his body, and the guards got up immediately. He waved his hand, and they all dispersed quickly.
The emperor looked at the flat road, stepped on it, and praised: "It's really solid." If the roads in the future are built like this, they will no longer be afraid of raising dust.
"Here comes the knife." The emperor stretched out his right hand, and Liang Jiugong graciously pulled out a knife from the guard's arms and handed it over.
After the emperor took it, he looked at the knife and touched the edge. The knife had already opened. He was very satisfied, and then he slashed towards the ground without saying a word.
It's a pity that this time, unlike what the dark guard said, there was only a scratch left, but a shallow pit appeared where he looked.
The fourth master blushed a little when he saw it. The cement floor didn't seem to be as strong as he blown it, but the emperor was quite satisfied. He turned his hand over and said to Si Ye, "If we put it in the sun for a few more days, we can reach the level of that park." The emperor didn't use firecrackers, and planned to wait until the cement floor hardened in a few days.
Fourth master bowed and respectfully listened to the holy words.
The emperor glanced at him and walked along the river bank. Liang Jiugong and the guards followed immediately, but the emperor stopped him.
"Stop following all of you, I'll talk to fourth brother for a while."
Liang Jiugong stopped with the guards, watching the emperor and fourth master walking slowly along the river.
After walking a certain distance, the emperor stopped, picked a willow leaf that had just sprouted, and threw it into the river.
It's not summer yet, and the water from the river outside has not been brought in, so the water in the river has dropped a lot compared to summer.
The few fish seemed to have sensed the movement of the river, poked their heads out, tentatively bit the young leaves and dived into the water.
After the emperor saw it, he turned his head and said to the fourth master, "Old Si, this cement is too important to my Qing Dynasty. It should not only be kept in the folk, but should be used in more critical places." To build dams, Building the city wall, which one is not urgently needed by the court?
The fourth master heard the strings and knew the elegant meaning, and immediately took out a formula and presented it to the emperor, "Khan Ama, and I am willing to present the cement recipe." As expected, An Jiashi was right, Khan Ama will definitely ask for the recipe .
It's just that fourth master felt a little ashamed. This was the first time he had asked for prescriptions from An Jia's.
He is not like Khan Ama, who thinks that the Qing Dynasty belongs to him, and it is natural to take Fang Zi. He knows that every invention was researched by An Jia's people who spent a lot of money, and it did not appear for no reason.
But every time he asked for a prescription, An Jia gave it to him generously. After a long time, Fourth Master also felt that he owed her. After all, after giving the prescription, she never asked for anything in return.
At most, it was used to make an advertisement in the name of the royal family, but she deserved it. If she was not allowed to make an advertisement after taking such a big advantage, it would be even more ugly.
The emperor took a look at the prescription and found that the conditions were quite simple, that is, mixing volcanic ash and lime. Unexpectedly, the combination of these two could create such a solid ground.
This is so unexpected!
After the emperor received the prescription, he was worried again, because he didn't know how the court should manage the prescription.
You can't open a workshop like a folk, how can the imperial court have so many people to open a workshop?Even if a few workshops are opened, it will not be able to meet the needs of the entire construction of the Qing Dynasty.
Now it is possible to get the prescription, but in the end, a dam needs to be built, but there is not enough cement. Wouldn’t the prescription be wasted?
Putting the prescription into his sleeve, the emperor asked the fourth master, "Fourth brother, you can think of a good way for me to deal with this prescription."
Regarding this matter, fourth master had already discussed it with Minning last night.
It was Minning who started this matter first, so she casually asked Fourth Master, what should the emperor do with the prescription?
As a result, the two had a discussion about how the emperor would arrange it. They didn't sleep at night, and they chatted in full swing while lying under the covers.
Fourth Master said that he would open a workshop, Minning criticized it cracklingly, saying it was a bad idea.
Fourth master was not happy, so he asked Minning if there was a good way, and she suddenly thought about it.
Isn't it possible to allow officials to open companies now?It is completely possible to issue an announcement and search for volcanic ash all over the country. As long as volcanic ash is found in the territory, no matter it is a county or a prefectural city, it can apply to the imperial court, and then the imperial court can send people to review it. In a company, the imperial court provides a certain amount of formula, and the local government provides a part of it.
After earning the income, [-]% goes to the imperial court, three floors go to the local government office, and another three floors are used to pave bridges, build roads and build public welfare facilities such as welfare homes, and the remaining floor is used to pay workers' salaries.
Fourth Master thought that this idea was quite good, but even though it was a good idea, he was afraid that others might not be able to follow it.
At that time, the accounts will be faked again, and the court will not be able to monitor them in real time.
Minning said directly, "When the time comes, let the imperial court choose a group of account inspectors. They will not do anything else but just inspect the accounts. Ask about the local annual output, and then ask about the ex-factory price. It will be enough to calculate. Water When it is pure, there are no fish, so don’t be too serious about being a human being.”
But fourth master is a serious person, so he naturally disagrees with what she said.
Helpless, Minning secretly came up with a bad idea.
But at this time the emperor asked, fourth master honestly stated the idea discussed last night, as for the distribution of benefits, it was up to the people in the court to distribute it.
After hearing this, the emperor also thought it was very good, but he was a little hesitant. After all, is it too much to leave six floors for the local area?
Finally, he thought about it and said, "I'm considering this matter." Undoubtedly, it is a good way for the imperial court to use the prescription to form a company with the local government.
It is a good thing that fell from the sky to be able to wait for the money to be collected without the imperial court sending out a formula directly, and to be able to control the cement in the hands.
The reason for doubts is that it is only in the distribution of profits. It can be thought that the local officials will have to leave six layers.
The official didn't know how to behave.
However, with this piece of fat hanging around, some local officials don't have to work hard to get those three melons and two dates from the heads of the people.
The fourth master knew the emperor's concerns, and then he said the bad idea that Minning heard, "All the family members and close people of local officials who set up companies must register their wealth, and when they leave office, they will check and see whose names Is there any extra huge amount of property of unknown origin, so that some people can be held back from corruption.”
After the emperor heard this, he coughed violently. Where did the fourth child come up with such a bad idea? If this idea spreads out, the entire imperial court will definitely resist it.
This time it is to register those low-level officials, but what should I do next time I recruit the ministers of the court and China?
If this idea is spoken out, the fourth child will definitely be hated to death, and this matter cannot be mentioned at all.
The emperor glanced at him, "You, you can even say this narrow idea, it must not have been thought up by you yourself, maybe An Jia gave it to you."
Fourth Master showed a smile, "Ama Khan, your guess is really accurate!"
The emperor thought about it for a while, then shook his head, "No, this idea won't work." He was old and wanted to be safe, and he didn't dare to make any big disturbances in the court, and he didn't have any ambitions to reform the backwaters of the court. Pass this matter on to the next one.
The emperor glanced at the fourth child, and his mind couldn't help but move, the fourth child...
He had to think, and think again.
After learning that his bluffing trick was reported to Khan Ama, the prince knew that the matter was done.
This matter was originally a trap for those who were staring at him, and there was no so-called wooing at all.
No matter how much courage is given to the prince, he will not dare to win over the nine admirals. The nine admirals are Khan Ama's most loyal watchdog. Even if he wins him over, does Tuoheqi have the guts to betray Khan Ama?
What's more, he was tightly guarded by Khan Ama, and he couldn't move at all. It was a delusion to want soldiers and horses near the capital, but if he wanted to succeed, he had to have soldiers and horses. They can't help but retreat, so they can only bite the bullet.
If it doesn't work in the capital, then look outside the capital. The prince sent several people to persuade several governors. Only the governor can mobilize troops.In order to cover up his real purpose, there was the previous time to scare the snakes, and as a result, several snakes were surprised.
The prince was a little resentful, he didn't expect that so many people wanted to pull him down.
Fourth Master returned to the mansion, still full of joy in his heart, and received the report as soon as he changed his clothes.
Only then did he remember that before he left, someone had to check on Liu Shilan.
Hearing the secret report from the visitor, all the joy in Fourth Master's heart dissipated.
It's Liu Shilan who dared to make it up on his own and tricked Lao Jiu. Fourth Master Nian didn't send anyone to scold him because of his usual loyalty, but he still held his breath in his heart.
The trouble caused by this person's self-assessment, the blame is thrown on his back, and he has to bear it if he doesn't.
Hearing such a sad thing, even the joy of being praised by Khan Ama before was gone.
"Lead the way ahead, go to your Master An!" After the visitor withdrew, Fourth Master changed his clothes and went out, saying to Su Peisheng who was guarding the door.
Su Peisheng carefully said yes with his face.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year had come to an end. Only the red lanterns lit in the yard seemed to still have the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year.
At this time, Minning had finished his dinner and was playing with his four children inside the house.
Playing with building blocks made of sandalwood, Yuan Bao and his three siblings built a big house together.
When fourth master walked in, he saw that the room was bustling with activity.
It was still cold outside at this time, and it would still freeze at night, and the earth dragon in the mansion hadn't withdrawn yet, so the house was very warm, and when the curtains were lifted, one could feel the warmth coming from the house.
Fourth Master looked at the blankets that were spread all over the floor as soon as he entered the door, and imitated the people in the room, took off his shoes and stepped on them with bare feet.
Minning heard the movement at the door and looked over, "Grandpa, are you back?" As he spoke, he stepped forward to help him take off his cloak. Inside was a thin down jacket. Dressing so indecently, he should have changed it after returning home. Up.
The fourth master gave a "hmm" and looked at the four children. Yuan Bao took the lead to salute the fourth master, and the remaining three children followed suit in a decent manner.
Minning asked him again if he had eaten?
Fourth Master nodded, "Don't worry about me, I used some dim sum at Han Ama's place."
Minning touched his cold hand, and led him into the house, "That's not okay, how can dim sum be eaten as a serious meal?"
Then he ordered the people outside to bring a bowl of hot noodle soup, and ordered another bowl to be delivered to Su Peisheng.
Su Peisheng smiled and thanked him quickly, then turned around and went to the tea room next to him. Unlike Fourth Master, he could still eat snacks, but he drank the cold wind all afternoon in Changchun Garden.
Fourth Master sat down and waved his hands, letting the children play by themselves.
After washing his hands in the warm water basin, he picked up a cotton towel and wiped his hands while saying to Minning, "Khan Ama said that I will send some cement to Changchun Garden to repair a place tomorrow. I don't understand this. Tomorrow Send some innocent people to the garden together."
As soon as Minning heard it, he probably knew that this person had gone to offer treasures to the emperor again, and he knew something was wrong when he looked at the concrete floor in the morning.
Later, he changed the topic to concrete, and Minning probably knew his plan.
"Okay, I have a special construction team in the capital to build houses, repair bridges and pave roads for people. I will send a letter to people later, and send a few people over tomorrow. By the way, did Long Live tell you how long the repairs will be? I'll ask someone to prepare some cement and sand."
The emperor didn't say how much, the fourth master thought it must be small, he thought that Han Ama might want to test the hardness of the cement.
After hearing this, Min Ning probably had an idea in his mind, "That's fine, send ten bags first, this kind of thing can't be used if it gets wet, and then continue to send it after the ten bags are used up."
Fourth master held her hand and squeezed it to agree.
At this time, a maid brought a food box outside, Minning took it and opened the food box with her own hands and took out a bowl of chicken soup noodles, with a poached egg and a few green vegetables lying on it.
It's appetizing just looking at it, let alone smelling it.
The three little ones smelled the fragrance, dropped the wooden block and got up and ran over. Three pairs of eyes looked over eagerly.
Minning looked at these little rascals, and said angrily, "Didn't you eat them all? It's too late to eat any more."
The fourth master took the chopsticks, picked out a piece of noodles and was about to feed them to the children, but Minning stopped him, "I had already eaten a lot when I woke up in the afternoon, and now I brought them to play for a while because of accumulated food. Digestion, I have to go to sleep later, I can’t eat any more.”
Among the three children, the two boys are easy to talk to. Honghao has a fragile stomach, but he is not hungry, but just joins in the fun with his older brothers and sisters.Hongxuan is considered sensible, and after hearing what E Niang said, she didn't force her.Among them, Tiantian is probably the most difficult to talk, unlike her brothers who have already sat back to play, she is still lying on Si Ye's hands and knees and watching eagerly.
The fourth master couldn't bear to look at it, so he directly fed the noodles into Tiantian's mouth.
Tian Tian held her face and smiled, and Minning directly pulled her over, "Okay, I've eaten enough, let's go play."
After the little girl ran to sit with her elder brothers and younger brothers, Minning sighed and said to the fourth master, "Your daughter has been raised to become a little fat pig, and she never stopped talking all day long. After eating like this, who will want her?"
The fourth master held the chopsticks and stared at her with a straight face, "How can my daughter worry about getting married?" What's more, a child under three years old looks so chubby, unlike Xiao Liu, who is so small, fourth master It hurts every time I look at it.
Although she is one size smaller than her elder brother and sister, she is still supported.
Fourth master likes to see the children can eat and drink.
It is good to be able to eat and drink, so that the body will be strong and able to grow up.
Before dawn the next day, Fourth Master got up to wash up. After Minning heard the movement, he yawned and forced his sleepy eyes to get up.
"Why did you get up too? You slept in your bed." Fourth Master came back from washing and put on his clothes. When he turned around, he saw her sitting by the bed and putting on her shoes.
"Master, why did you get up so early today?" Dragging his shoes, he walked up to Fourth Master and helped him button them up. After looking at them, he realized that he was wearing court clothes, so he asked, "Today is the court?"
The Great Court is usually once every two days, but the emperor is getting older and doesn't have so much energy to go to the morning court, so he changed it to once every five days.
This is considered hard work. If it comes to fourth master's son, it will be once every ten days.There are not many times in a year, because the emperor does not stay in the capital for a long time in a year.
The fourth master closed his eyes and said "um", and waited for Minning to help him put on the beads and hat before opening his eyes.
"If you want to go to court in the morning, you don't have to wait. After dawn, you directly send the people and cement to the gate of Changchun Garden, and we will arrange it after the court is over."
Minning nodded, looking at his unsightly hairstyle, which was covered by the hat, finally felt that the awkwardness was gone.
That thin braid is really awkward, but fortunately the men's hats here don't leave their heads.
She has been here for a long time, and her aesthetic sense has been distorted. When she can have more hair, even if she evolves into a yin and yang head.
"Go on to sleep, my master is leaving." After the fourth master got dressed, he turned and left after giving instructions.
Minning hurriedly told someone to pack a few freshly baked shortbreads for Su Peisheng to take with him, so that Fourth Master could have a hot bite in the carriage anyway.
After the morning court, the fourth master called Liang Jiugong. After Liang Jiugong heard this, he immediately called two eunuchs to pick up people and cement at the door.
The cement and the craftsmen were brought to the West Garden together. Liang Jiugong pointed to a piece of flat near the lake and said, "Yesterday, the Lord Long Live asked the servants to pull up the vegetation on this piece of land overnight. This place is closest to the lake. Every year When the water is changed, this area is easy to be washed away, and it will be better after planting grass and trees in the past two years, Lord Long Live said, first use this piece of ground to test the cement and see how it works?"
Fourth master nodded, and then handed over all the work to the cement and craftsmen.
After all, it is not to withstand the impact of big waves, so it does not need to be supported together with steel bars.
The craftsmen were busy with their work, Fourth Master followed Liang Jiugong to a pavilion not far away, and talked while watching the craftsmen at work.
"... Seeing that Eunuch Liang also invested money to start the company, I thought I was wrong when I first saw it." After all, this old guy is not lacking in filial piety when he is accompanying the Holy One.
Liang Jiugong said with a smile on his face, "It's just meddling with those old guys. After those old guys left the palace, they could only commit themselves to a temple for the rest of their lives. Later, there were too many eunuchs there. It can support so many idlers. A few days ago, a few old guys sent a letter to our family, thinking about investing some money to participate in the sea trade of Lord Baylor's main board. After going out, I was afraid of it. Then, pull our family in and make a flag."
Over the years, the palace has granted grace several times and released several groups of people out of the palace.
The maids are okay, no matter how old they are, they can find a place to commit themselves to, the difficulty lies in the eunuchs.
Once these rootless people entered the palace, they had abandoned their relationship with their ancestors. For these eunuchs, the palace was their home for life, and leaving the palace was equivalent to being kicked out of the house, with nowhere to go.
Some were able to return home with money and clothing, but this was only a small part.
Many eunuchs directly took the money they had saved all their lives and entered the temple to become monks, so they had a place to hide.
If eunuchs are rootless people, why are they greedy for money?Isn't it just that there is a place to hide when you are old, and you have no heirs and only silver can be relied on.Names are their lifeblood, and only with money can they enjoy their old age in peace.
Many temples in the capital were opened by eunuchs who were out of the palace.
As time went on, there were too many eunuchs, no matter how big the temple was, they were all poor people, they could only hug each other to keep warm, and no one was willing to drive anyone out.
So several old eunuchs who had been kind to Liang Jiugong sent letters to him, asking him to help start a company and participate in maritime trade.
If it is just a group of eunuchs who have already left the palace to set up a company, they may be kicked out by the people below on their own initiative before reaching the fourth master. After all, not everyone can participate in this first sailing trade, there is only a certain number of places. If you choose this one, there must be another one that will definitely not be able to participate.But if Liang Jiugong's name is in it, it's a different situation, at least no one dares to be so blatant.
Who is Liang Jiugong?The chief eunuch in front of the emperor, is there anyone in this capital who hasn't heard of this name?
But then the submitted information really came to fourth master.
Fourth Master didn't discriminate against these eunuchs, and just followed the normal review procedures.
Hearing what Liang Jiugong said about the current situation of the eunuchs leaving the palace, Fourth Master also had a headache. There are a large number of eunuchs in the palace, and only a small part of them can live in the palace for the elderly. Most of them come out when they are old. Palace, just find a place to die.
Listening to it like this, I always feel a little mean and unkind.
For the time being, Fourth Master didn't have any good solutions, but it was commendable that these people found their own way out.
He planned to check it after he went back, and if the company had no problems, he would directly let them pass the audit.
"Eunuch Liang, please don't worry, as long as there is no problem with the source of the company's money, basically everything can be done."
Liang Jiugong smiled and said, "That's definitely not a problem. It's the money of a few old guys for retirement. I have to thank An Fang Fujin. She opened several factories, but no matter whether it is a man or a woman, some crafts can be found. Especially the last time Long Live God showed mercy, the eunuchs and maids in the palace were snatched up by the recruiters at the gate as soon as they were released." Since it doesn't matter whether they are male or female, the eunuchs are naturally accepted.
The fourth master was a little surprised when he heard that, he had heard that Minning's factories were short of workers, but he didn't expect to make his mind on the group of people released from the palace.
Some of these people couldn't find a home, and most of them were eunuchs. It was better to have a place to stay temporarily than to live in a temple.
Fourth master was also a little satisfied, especially when he heard Liang Jiugong praise An Jia's actions.
The piece of land by the pool didn't look that big, and soon the craftsmen paved the piece of land, sprinkled gravel, paved it with cement, and waited to dry after smoothing it.
Fourth master was surprised, "That's all right?" It turned out to be so simple.
One of the craftsmen looked at the leader and replied cautiously, "As for the nobleman, if the sun is good, the land will be dried in the afternoon. Then spread it with sacks at night, and uncover it in the morning tomorrow. "It would be good if it took only one noon in Xia Tian.
The fourth master was dubious when he heard this, but Liang Jiugong who was at the side admired, "If this is the case, then it will be convenient to build bridges and pave roads."
Only now did Fourth Master come to his senses, no matter whether he harbored doubts or not, he would know when he came over tomorrow and had a try.
After sending the craftsmen out, the remaining cement sand was moved to a nearby empty house to prevent it from getting damp.
Liang Jiugong bowed his hands to the fourth master, "Our family is going to report the good news to Lord Long Live, and we can't stay here with Lord Baylor."
The fourth master immediately returned his hand, "Eunuch Liang, please go, I'll wait here for a while." He was still worried about the freshly made flat ground, fearing that someone would come and make trouble.
Liang Jiugong cupped his hands and left.
Fourth Master just stood there with his hands behind his back, feeling the precipitous spring breeze.
About half an hour later, I heard a series of footsteps coming from a distance.
"Fourth!"
As soon as the fourth master turned his head, he saw the emperor standing not far from him. He hurriedly stepped forward to meet him, and knelt down on one knee five steps away from the emperor, "I will see you, Ama Khan."
The emperor asked him to stand up, and then asked him with a smile, "I heard that the concrete floor has been paved, so I came here to take a look. Why didn't you come and tell me that you are here alone?"
The fourth master looked uncomfortable, and finally said in a low voice, "My son is afraid that some birds will land on this concrete floor and make footprints."
There are many birds in the palace, the most common bird is crows, and there are also many birds in the Changchun Garden, and even a flock of wild ducks, especially in the recent spring return, the birds migrated from the south to the north, Some stayed in the garden.
The emperor laughed loudly, "You, you, what do you want me to say about you? Aren't there guards around here, just order them to guard, why do you need to guard yourself yourself?"
Fourth Master looked embarrassed, touched his nose and said, "This cement matter is very important, I don't worry about others looking at it."
The emperor felt his innocence, and patted him on the shoulder in relief.
Compared with other sons fighting for power and profit, only the fourth son is willing to do practical things.
The emperor put those bad things behind him, and then led fourth master towards the concrete floor.
The emperor looked at the flat concrete floor, which was still damp, and a thin layer of water had even accumulated in some places.
But the emperor's heart was full of enthusiasm. Someone had reported to him before that the concrete road built in the park was much better than the stone roads and loess roads in the city.
The dark guard even used a knife to cut across the concrete floor, but the knife was cut open, and only a white mark remained on the cement.
If it weren't for the strange eyes looking at him, the hidden guard might even take out the firecrackers to test the hardness of the ground.
But it doesn't matter, if the hidden guards can't try it, then let the emperor himself try it.
The emperor was very happy to accept this experiment. If he could really withstand the fire, the emperor squinted his eyes, then such an important thing could not be controlled by the people, and had to be taken over by the court.
After inspecting the cement, because it was not dry, it was useless to think about it now, the emperor praised the fourth master, ordered someone to guard the concrete, and dismissed the fourth master casually.
It's not like a Baylor master has nothing to do, so he should do what he should do, don't rely on his talents to be used for nothing.
The job of guarding is still done by the guards of Changchun Garden.
Fourth master used cement to spread a wave of goodwill in front of the emperor, and soon many people got the news.
After the prince heard this, he also felt strange, but he was thrown into trouble temporarily by the eighth master, so he was in a hurry and didn't think deeply at all.
The boss was planning to use his strength to pull the prince off the horse. Hearing that the fourth child was doing this, he wished that the fourth child would work harder. In his opinion, the fourth child wanted to break away from the prince and set up his own family, which was a good thing.If the fourth son was the prince who left, the prince would have lost his arm.
The third child snorted coldly, and continued to look for the eighth child to feel uncomfortable.
The fifth and the seventh have nothing to do with themselves as always.
After Ba Ye heard it, he thought about it for a while, and secretly sighed that the fourth child was lucky. He met such a woman who can make money and have children. From time to time, he can come up with new things to make Han Ama happy.
Originally, the fourth son was not rich, and he did not stand out among the brothers, but An Jia gave birth to four children at once. Triplets are rare in the royal family. .
When Lao Jiu heard this, he sneered all over, and then complained to Lao Ten, "Only Lao Si, that insidious villain, can still be rewarded by Khan Ama, God is really annoying."
Old Ten hastily covered his mouth, sweating coldly from fright.
If God doesn't open his eyes, isn't that because Khan Ama doesn't know people clearly?If this gets out, Khan Ama will have to give him a good meal later.
The thirteenth brother was really happy for the fourth brother when he heard it. Last night, he was called by Khan Ama, and he was severely criticized, saying that he had framed the prince.
Being scolded really made him sad. Afterwards, he checked overnight and found out that the prince was just putting on a show. Although he sent someone to contact Tuo Heqi, it was only in the name of a relationship, asking someone to watch the show. Neither said.
He went to report so excitedly, but he didn't find out anything clearly, as if he was complaining, so it's no wonder he was reprimanded by Khan Ama.
As for Shisi rolled his eyes when he heard the news, and was told by Concubine De, who also heard the news, to walk around the fourth brother's house, but he only had a falling out with fourth brother yesterday, so how could he be at this time? face again?
As soon as he heard Concubine De say that, he found an excuse and slipped away.
Concubine De, who was behind Tuliu, hated that iron could not be made into steel. Fourteenth was spoiled by her, and my brother couldn't say anything, so he found a ladder for him, but he didn't even know how to climb it down.
On the second day, fourth master went to Changchun garden again in the morning.
He was anxious to look at the concrete floor, but the emperor seemed not to notice, and discussed things with him slowly.
Fourth master bit the bullet and listened to the emperor.
The emperor raised his eyes to look at him, and smiled secretly in his heart. Although this kid changed his moodiness when he was young, it is not so easy to change his true temperament, but he reappeared after a while.
The emperor was not in a hurry, because someone reported early in the morning that the cement was already hard, and people would not leave footprints if they stepped on it.
The emperor didn't let anyone move him, but planned to wait the whole morning, and then test it when it was harder in the afternoon.
Stayed for lunch again.
Fourth Master didn't return to his normal state until he sat down to eat, he would see it sooner or later, and there was no rush.
After lunch, I walked for a while with Khan Ama. Although I said I was strolling in the garden, it was not close to the concrete floor in the back garden.
Fourth master felt a little helpless, he finally saw that Khan Ama was just teasing him.
Afterwards, fourth master kept a calm face, no matter how the emperor provoked him, he didn't make any movement.
The emperor looked bored, and the emotional fourth child had already noticed it.
Now that he had noticed it, the emperor stopped teasing him, and he wanted to go and have a look anyway.
"Pull over!"
Liang Jiugong called out at the right time, "Show me!"
The imperial chariot was carried over, and after the emperor sat on it, the imperial chariot got up and walked slowly towards the West Garden.
The West Garden is the westernmost part of the Changchun Garden. Few people come here, because the craftsmen in yesterday were all outsiders, so they only chose the West Garden to repair a piece of land near the gate opening.
This is just an experimental site. If the effect is good, the surrounding area may be transformed.
Who wouldn't want to take this kind of road without stagnant water and mud?
After arriving at the West Garden, I saw many people gathered in front of the river dam from a distance. These people were all carrying knives, surrounded by a piece of flat ground.
After the imperial chariot stopped, the guards all knelt down. Through these kneeling figures, Fourth Master also saw the darkened concrete floor in front of him. This color was different from the whitish one in the park. It looks as if the moisture has not dried out.
The emperor got off the imperial chariot, and Liang Jiugong came to help him.
After the emperor came down, he waved away Liang Jiugong's hand and walked forward with great interest.
Fourth Master hurriedly followed.
The emperor yelled to flatten his body, and the guards got up immediately. He waved his hand, and they all dispersed quickly.
The emperor looked at the flat road, stepped on it, and praised: "It's really solid." If the roads in the future are built like this, they will no longer be afraid of raising dust.
"Here comes the knife." The emperor stretched out his right hand, and Liang Jiugong graciously pulled out a knife from the guard's arms and handed it over.
After the emperor took it, he looked at the knife and touched the edge. The knife had already opened. He was very satisfied, and then he slashed towards the ground without saying a word.
It's a pity that this time, unlike what the dark guard said, there was only a scratch left, but a shallow pit appeared where he looked.
The fourth master blushed a little when he saw it. The cement floor didn't seem to be as strong as he blown it, but the emperor was quite satisfied. He turned his hand over and said to Si Ye, "If we put it in the sun for a few more days, we can reach the level of that park." The emperor didn't use firecrackers, and planned to wait until the cement floor hardened in a few days.
Fourth master bowed and respectfully listened to the holy words.
The emperor glanced at him and walked along the river bank. Liang Jiugong and the guards followed immediately, but the emperor stopped him.
"Stop following all of you, I'll talk to fourth brother for a while."
Liang Jiugong stopped with the guards, watching the emperor and fourth master walking slowly along the river.
After walking a certain distance, the emperor stopped, picked a willow leaf that had just sprouted, and threw it into the river.
It's not summer yet, and the water from the river outside has not been brought in, so the water in the river has dropped a lot compared to summer.
The few fish seemed to have sensed the movement of the river, poked their heads out, tentatively bit the young leaves and dived into the water.
After the emperor saw it, he turned his head and said to the fourth master, "Old Si, this cement is too important to my Qing Dynasty. It should not only be kept in the folk, but should be used in more critical places." To build dams, Building the city wall, which one is not urgently needed by the court?
The fourth master heard the strings and knew the elegant meaning, and immediately took out a formula and presented it to the emperor, "Khan Ama, and I am willing to present the cement recipe." As expected, An Jiashi was right, Khan Ama will definitely ask for the recipe .
It's just that fourth master felt a little ashamed. This was the first time he had asked for prescriptions from An Jia's.
He is not like Khan Ama, who thinks that the Qing Dynasty belongs to him, and it is natural to take Fang Zi. He knows that every invention was researched by An Jia's people who spent a lot of money, and it did not appear for no reason.
But every time he asked for a prescription, An Jia gave it to him generously. After a long time, Fourth Master also felt that he owed her. After all, after giving the prescription, she never asked for anything in return.
At most, it was used to make an advertisement in the name of the royal family, but she deserved it. If she was not allowed to make an advertisement after taking such a big advantage, it would be even more ugly.
The emperor took a look at the prescription and found that the conditions were quite simple, that is, mixing volcanic ash and lime. Unexpectedly, the combination of these two could create such a solid ground.
This is so unexpected!
After the emperor received the prescription, he was worried again, because he didn't know how the court should manage the prescription.
You can't open a workshop like a folk, how can the imperial court have so many people to open a workshop?Even if a few workshops are opened, it will not be able to meet the needs of the entire construction of the Qing Dynasty.
Now it is possible to get the prescription, but in the end, a dam needs to be built, but there is not enough cement. Wouldn’t the prescription be wasted?
Putting the prescription into his sleeve, the emperor asked the fourth master, "Fourth brother, you can think of a good way for me to deal with this prescription."
Regarding this matter, fourth master had already discussed it with Minning last night.
It was Minning who started this matter first, so she casually asked Fourth Master, what should the emperor do with the prescription?
As a result, the two had a discussion about how the emperor would arrange it. They didn't sleep at night, and they chatted in full swing while lying under the covers.
Fourth Master said that he would open a workshop, Minning criticized it cracklingly, saying it was a bad idea.
Fourth master was not happy, so he asked Minning if there was a good way, and she suddenly thought about it.
Isn't it possible to allow officials to open companies now?It is completely possible to issue an announcement and search for volcanic ash all over the country. As long as volcanic ash is found in the territory, no matter it is a county or a prefectural city, it can apply to the imperial court, and then the imperial court can send people to review it. In a company, the imperial court provides a certain amount of formula, and the local government provides a part of it.
After earning the income, [-]% goes to the imperial court, three floors go to the local government office, and another three floors are used to pave bridges, build roads and build public welfare facilities such as welfare homes, and the remaining floor is used to pay workers' salaries.
Fourth Master thought that this idea was quite good, but even though it was a good idea, he was afraid that others might not be able to follow it.
At that time, the accounts will be faked again, and the court will not be able to monitor them in real time.
Minning said directly, "When the time comes, let the imperial court choose a group of account inspectors. They will not do anything else but just inspect the accounts. Ask about the local annual output, and then ask about the ex-factory price. It will be enough to calculate. Water When it is pure, there are no fish, so don’t be too serious about being a human being.”
But fourth master is a serious person, so he naturally disagrees with what she said.
Helpless, Minning secretly came up with a bad idea.
But at this time the emperor asked, fourth master honestly stated the idea discussed last night, as for the distribution of benefits, it was up to the people in the court to distribute it.
After hearing this, the emperor also thought it was very good, but he was a little hesitant. After all, is it too much to leave six floors for the local area?
Finally, he thought about it and said, "I'm considering this matter." Undoubtedly, it is a good way for the imperial court to use the prescription to form a company with the local government.
It is a good thing that fell from the sky to be able to wait for the money to be collected without the imperial court sending out a formula directly, and to be able to control the cement in the hands.
The reason for doubts is that it is only in the distribution of profits. It can be thought that the local officials will have to leave six layers.
The official didn't know how to behave.
However, with this piece of fat hanging around, some local officials don't have to work hard to get those three melons and two dates from the heads of the people.
The fourth master knew the emperor's concerns, and then he said the bad idea that Minning heard, "All the family members and close people of local officials who set up companies must register their wealth, and when they leave office, they will check and see whose names Is there any extra huge amount of property of unknown origin, so that some people can be held back from corruption.”
After the emperor heard this, he coughed violently. Where did the fourth child come up with such a bad idea? If this idea spreads out, the entire imperial court will definitely resist it.
This time it is to register those low-level officials, but what should I do next time I recruit the ministers of the court and China?
If this idea is spoken out, the fourth child will definitely be hated to death, and this matter cannot be mentioned at all.
The emperor glanced at him, "You, you can even say this narrow idea, it must not have been thought up by you yourself, maybe An Jia gave it to you."
Fourth Master showed a smile, "Ama Khan, your guess is really accurate!"
The emperor thought about it for a while, then shook his head, "No, this idea won't work." He was old and wanted to be safe, and he didn't dare to make any big disturbances in the court, and he didn't have any ambitions to reform the backwaters of the court. Pass this matter on to the next one.
The emperor glanced at the fourth child, and his mind couldn't help but move, the fourth child...
He had to think, and think again.
