History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

The emperor who was far away from the Great Wall also received the news from the capital, glanced at it and threw the booklet on the table.

The fourth master who lived in the next tent was reading a book, while Thirteen and Fourteen called a little eunuch to play cards together, playing cards, and the fourth master thought it was noisy, so he threw away the book and went out.

This time Khan Ama went out of the fortress mainly for two purposes, one is to pay homage to the Xiaoling Mausoleum, which has already been completed.

The second is to reconnaissance Rehe Palace. The Ministry of Industry has surveyed the vicinity before and circled a few places where the palace can be built. This time, Khan Ama braved the severe cold to come and check it out. He wanted to personally finalize the location for the construction of the palace. .

I thought there would be many fraternities accompanying me this time, but I didn't expect that it was only him, Thirteen and Fourteen. Logically speaking, it was supposed to be an honorable event, but he was full of worries.

Khan Ama didn't know what to think. He left those brothers who fought fiercely in the capital, but brought them with him. He didn't care, he was afraid that the women in the family would be affected.

An Jia's business is a big piece of meat, if any brother catches his eye, he has to take a big bite.

Fourth master was already prepared for the aftermath. He didn't think that An Jia's family could survive the storm.

What's more, Thirteen and Fourteen, who were close to him, were brought out. Even if there was a problem with An Jia's business, there was no way to ask for help.

In fact, the situation in the capital is not as bad as fourth master expected. I don't know what the prince and other princes think. The side Fujin of the fourth child.

After taking a bite of meat, they let go one after another.

And the valuables produced by Minning Workshop, such as music boxes, bicycles, etc., are also slow to sell.

The main reason is that the rich and powerful people acted on hearing the news. In order to send money to the prince and the prince as a show of favor, they directly bought the things produced in their factory with a lot of money. I don't hesitate.

Probably because they tasted the sweetness, those few people firmly grasped these few businesses, but Minning, a genuine product, was on the verge of being squeezed out!

Minning has long seen through that these types of businesses are different from ordinary people's daily use, so naturally they cannot be handled in the previous way. Who is really well-informed who would help her fight against those nobles.

So she responded quickly and sold such things to Jiangnan.And it was sold in the name of the prince and prince. As soon as these goods were shipped to the south of the Yangtze River, they were advertised in local newspapers, and they were sold out by the salt merchants who heard the news.

The production capacity of the crown prince and several princes was not enough, and all the products produced were eaten by the people in the capital. They could only watch Minning raise the price several times in the south of the Yangtze River and make a lot of money.

After clearing out these remaining stocks, Minning sold prescriptions in Jiangnan openly. In the form of auction, the payment method is not limited to silver, land, gold, silver jewelry, antiques, famous paintings, etc. Payable after discounting the estimated price.

That's right, she just wanted to dismantle these boats. Anyway, since she didn't intend to let her make money, those people shouldn't think about it.

Many people took a fancy to this kind of business that could bring a steady stream of wealth, and they made great efforts to bid. In fact, this auction not only bought several prescriptions, but also the formula of glass mirrors.

Glass mirrors can only be bought by rich and wealthy people, because they were transported from the West to the Qing Dynasty after a storm, and not many survived intact in the end.This also leads to a small amount of each inflow into the Qing Dynasty, and the price is too high for ordinary rich people to buy.

So in the Qing Dynasty, regardless of the south or the north, it was something worth showing off for women in the backyard to have a clear mirror.

The wealthy salt merchants in Jiangnan naturally don't care about the price of a mirror.

But this time I heard that there is a recipe for making a mirror, no matter who it is, I can't hold it anymore.

This is not a mirror, but thousands of mirrors.

If you get the prescription, the money you earn will go to sea!

It's a pity that the prescription is not a single share, this auction house really has no conscience and divided the prescription into ten shares at once.

In other words, the wealth must be shared equally with at least nine people.

Aside from the heartache, there were still people who threw money wildly and took pictures, among which the salt merchant was the most prosperous.

These salt merchants threw a lot of money as if they didn't want money, and at least six of the ten prescriptions fell into the hands of the salt merchants.

The remaining three were snatched by the disciples of the Crown Prince, First Prince, and Third Prince. Because they knew the identities of these people, they didn't follow suit with the others, but bought them at a lower price than others.

In the end, the prescription was taken by an unknown person. This person was too abrupt. If he hadn't spent a lot of money as soon as he made a move, he might not have attracted people's attention.

Many people wondered who this person was, and after the auction ended, this person disappeared quickly, and many people who went to track it down returned empty-handed.

After the incident was over, Minning quickly got the news that the purpose of holding the auction this time was to let his subordinates practice their skills in advance.

And the reason why she sold the prescription of the mirror was mainly because she didn't want to shoot the first bird.

If you want to make a mirror, you must first have glass, and the glass is controlled by the court, just to make a profit, so you can only research the glass yourself.

Minning originally planned to open a glass factory by himself, but he didn't expect the recipe to be obtained smoothly, but the first time his subordinates researched it, the products they researched were waste products, not even comparable to those in the palace.

She was anxious to use glass again, so she simply sold the recipe for the mirror. Once the recipe was sold, folk glass factories would bloom everywhere.

It is much more cost-effective to spend a lot of money to set up a glass factory for her.

First of all, the prince and several princes will definitely dig the corners of the palace and have mature glass making techniques.

As long as the glass craftsmanship is out of the palace, it will soon be acquired by other people who buy mirror recipes. Don't underestimate the folks. Before long, glass will definitely flood, and the price will be reduced to the common people.

At that time, we will pursue better quality glass, and it is even possible that colorless glass will be available in advance.

However, these are only Minning's predictions for the time being, whether they can be realized or not will have to be fueled behind the scenes.

"I'll give you this mirror!" Minning played with the palm-sized hand mirror in his hand. The back of the mirror was made of white jade, and the side was inlaid with gold edges. It looked extremely gorgeous, but it didn't meet Minning's aesthetics.

The aesthetics she was led by the fourth master tended to be more elegant, and this vulgar style really didn't suit her taste.

Think about it, the whole room is plain and quiet, like blue and white porcelain outlined by plain embryos.Huang Chengcheng's prices suddenly appeared, but people's eyes must not be blinded.

Presumably fourth master will throw it away when he sees it when he comes back.

That person always sees what he doesn't like, and he can't wait to get rid of it soon.

Biying hurriedly took it over, holding it in her arms like a treasure, "Thank you, master, for the reward!" The price of the gold inlaid jade behind this mirror is enough to be close to a thousand taels.

As the master's wealth increased, the people below were ashamed to present things that were not expensive.

Some Minning didn't like it, and saw that the value of the piece was not high, so they gave it to Biying.

But for Biying, even if the value is not high, at least it can be sold for several hundred taels of silver.

In front of her master these years, she has also accumulated a considerable amount of wealth. It can be said that she is also a little rich woman, even richer than Ge Ge in the Baylor Mansion in the backyard.

"The matter of the mirror is over. Let people withdraw from the south of the Yangtze River, bring back the money, and lower the rent of the collected land. Next year, send people to the south of the Yangtze River to let the tenants there plant the newly researched rice seeds."

All the rice seeds are reserved from the most plump seeds of the year. After several generations of cultivation, the yield has now been fixed, and the harvest is one stone more than the other acre, which is still the harvest of a medium-sized field.

If it is replaced by a top-grade field, it may even reach four or five stones per mu!

This is an astonishing output for a world where the upper ground is up to three stones and the lower ground is no more than one stone.

Now Minning asks the farmers to select high-quality rice seeds for cultivation. In the future, they will bring various rice seeds from all over the world and choose the strongest and fullest seeds for hybridization.

She wants to turn the prosperous age of sweet potatoes into a veritable prosperous age, and let the people grow the most food with the least amount of land.Let the surplus population enter the cities and towns, gradually popularize the handicraft industry, and transition to industrialization.

But this all needs to be done slowly and slowly.

Bi Ying quickly took out her notebook and wrote it down.

Minning thought about it, and felt that there was nothing missing, so he asked Biying to convey it.

The next day, Lin Yuan came to the door again, "Master, someone came to the door, this time they want to buy our glass workshop by force."

After hearing this, Minning asked, "Which party is it from?"

"The subordinates sent people to chase and investigate. Although the other party had contact with the third prince's people in private, the subordinates found out that this person was a subordinate of Mingzhu in the early years. After Mingzhu fell, this person was not affected at all. influence, and even skyrocketed, so this person is likely to be the person placed by Suoertu's side next to Mingzhu."

Minning laughed, the third prince obviously took the blame, but he didn't know whether this person was under the orders of the prince or the third prince.

Of course, it is more likely that the prince was the one who served, but the third prince gave the order.

If it weren't for a group of people under Minning's staff who also worked as part-time reporters and habitually searched for the most authentic truth, they might have been deceived by these people.

Minning probably knew what the purpose of Suoertu was. At present, Suoertu has no influence in the court, and the prince only has Suoertu's support, and the contest with the eldest prince can only be balanced.The third prince wanted to get involved, obviously the same goal as the first prince, to pull the prince from the prince's throne first, and then fight for that position.

If you don't pull the prince down, everything you say is false.

But this is definitely not good news for the prince.

So the crown prince had a party, so he simply found an opponent for the third prince, and let him ignore it, and for this opponent, the crown prince obviously chose the fourth master.

Minning's scalp was a little numb, thinking that if Fourth Master came back and found out that she had caused him such a big trouble, he didn't know how to fix her.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly said to Lin Yuan, "Get rid of the glass factory, and then send someone to reveal the details of that person to the third prince, so that he can fight with the prince!"

As for the glass factory, she is willing to give it away for free. Anyway, it will not be long before the glass will flood and the price will not be high.
