History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

Cao Wen chopped up the straw in his hand and poured it into a wooden basin beside him to soak.During the waiting period, I quickly took off some dried paper and put it away.

Cao Wen was very poor and couldn't afford to hire someone to help with the work. He could only do all the work by himself, and the paper he made was sold in Jinling, so he could only live on his own.

The Cao family's ancestral home was in Jing County, Xuancheng, and made a fortune by making rice paper.It's just that Cao Wen's family moved to Suzhou many generations ago, and they lost contact with the main family.

He lost his mother when he was young, and sent away his old father a few years ago, and now he lives alone by making paper.

Although it is said that there is no need to worry about food and drink, there is not much money left.

He is still a bachelor in his 20s, and he is also a conspicuous one in the countryside.

It's not that he doesn't want to talk about his relationship, relatives in the village have told him about it.It's just that a few years ago, when my father passed away, he had to observe filial piety, which was delayed for three years.Later, after becoming a filial piety, because of treating his father's illness, the family fortune declined, because the woman's demands were too high, and he couldn't afford the bride price, which led to him being single all the time.

After a long time, he got used to living alone with such a person.

"Awen, are you home?" Someone patted the door of Cao Wen's house.

It is said that the gate is actually a fence gate, and a wall is built with short soil next to it, and you can see the yard when you stretch your head.

But Cao Wen just moved the paper into the house, so he didn't see him.

Cao Wen put the finished paper away, then went out of the room and went to open the door.

His home is near the river in the west of the village. There are only one or two families here, and few people come to him on weekdays.

After opening the door, he found Li Zheng, so Cao Wen hurriedly invited him in.

"Uncle, what do you need to send someone to call me? Why did you come here yourself?"

The village chief patted Cao Wen on the shoulder, "My boy, I have come to see you for something very good." Then he invited the people behind him to introduce to Cao Wen, "This is Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang is Lian County Honorable Master. People who have been entertained by adults, we came to Taicang this time to recruit some craftsmen who make paper, don’t you have a good job? Someone recommended you in the county, so Lord Wang came here.”

"County?"

Mr. Wang reminded, "It's the shopkeeper of a bookstore."

Cao Wen immediately knew who it was, and it should be the bookstore he was referring to when searching on weekdays.

"I don't know why this lord came here to find Xiaomin?"

"I'm going to ask you to help make paper."

"Make paper?" Cao Wen was a little confused. There are many people who can make paper in Taicang, so why invite him?Could it be that he wanted to leave his hometown?

Thinking of this, Cao Wen immediately shook his head, "Xiaomin has no plans to leave his hometown."

Although the income he makes of paper is not high, he can still support himself, so there is really no need to leave his hometown.

Master Wang said with a smile, "Don't worry, I plan to open a paper factory in Taicang. I hope Brother Cao can give me some advice on the craft. I only need to go there for ten days a month."

Cao Wen was a little hesitant, but after Mr. Wang reported a reward, he immediately agreed.

If you can really have that much money, you can marry a daughter-in-law and go home after saving for a year.

Cao Wen wished he could get to work right away, but Mr. Wang said, "There's no rush, the factory just chose a good location, and I'll invite Brother Cao over after the start of work."

There are many people like Cao Wen who have papermaking skills and can only do it alone. Many people were invited to agree on the spot, and some people hesitated and said to think about it.

Some people didn't even listen and refused on the spot.

These people all know that they want to ask them to give advice, but they want their ancestral paper-making recipes. Some people naturally agree, after all, the recipes are for the public, and the materials added are different.Some people cling to stubborn rejection of that bit of craftsmanship.

Some people have thought of this a long time ago, those who are willing to come will naturally be given good treatment, and those who are not willing to come are not forced.

When factories open and cheaper and higher-grade paper becomes available, the paper industry will be hit hard, and those small workshops who cling to their craftsmanship will naturally be swallowed by the tide of history.

This happened in the paper industry, and people from all walks of life entered with large sums of money.

But this only caused waves in a small area, and soon calmed down. In the future, these catfish will subvert the traditional industry. The innovative group will follow the reform, and the conservative group will survive.

Just like for thousands of years, the appearance of paper subverted the wooden slips, and the appearance of printing made books no longer controlled by only a few families.

After Huang Qin entered Zhuangzi, he lived like a fish in water and lived very chicly.

After participating in several groups and helping Zhuangzi transform some traditional equipment, he has gained some experience.

However, he still never forgets his dream of flying. This time, he didn't directly make the flying machine out of nothing, but started from the existing flying things.

First there were paper kites and then Kongming lanterns. After several experiments, he found that Kongming lanterns were closer to the dream of flying into the sky.

So he thought about building a big Kongming lantern and taking him to the sky.

After he quickly wrote the report and uploaded it, he got approval within two days, allowing him to make Kongming lanterns, but no one was allowed to go up until the safety was confirmed, and he could only use animals for experiments.

It is already the practice of the research institute not to use people for experiments. Although Huang Qin wants to fly into the sky, it is not that he does not know what to do.

After getting the experimental funds, they quickly recruited a group of people to start working.

The Kongming lanterns made at the very beginning were made of wood and coal was used as the raw material, but they failed several times in succession, either because Zhang Fei burned the Kongming lanterns not long after, or because he couldn’t carry a pig weighing an adult at all.

Later, it was found that the temperature of the coal could not be burned, and later it was transformed into a fierce fire oil tank. The high fire that could be sprayed really brought the Kongming lanterns.

But the fire that spewed out caused the Kongming lantern to burn out, and it took another half a year to renovate the fire cabinet so that the size of the flame could be adjusted.

One day Huang Qin was biting a big pancake and passing by the riverside of Zhuangzi, he saw a few urchins lying on the sheepskin raft treading water, he had an inspiration on the spot, and ran back to his experiment site.

"Change the wood into sheepskin and try again."

It took another ten days to collect a large amount of sheepskin, sew it up, and make it into a lantern shape.

After several experiments, either the thread inside was broken, or the gap was too large, and it would fall down halfway through the flight.

After two months of adjustments, when the beginning of autumn finally came, the Kongming Lantern flew up, and when it was only a little bit bigger, everyone pulled the rope back to pull the Kongming Lantern back. The pigs trapped inside shivered, but it didn’t matter , it is still alive!

After more than half a year of experimentation, a large group of people finally cheered at the moment when the success came!

"We made it!"

Minning also received the news. She didn't know everything about the experiments in Zhuangzi. She was also surprised when she learned that someone in Zhuangzi made the hot air balloon out.

This is 80 years earlier than the West.

"Send someone to prepare the carriage, and I'll go and have a look tomorrow." Minning ordered immediately.

On the second day, Minning went to Zhuangzi on the outskirts alone, and the flattest place outside Zhuangzi was surrounded by many people.

When her carriage passed by, these people gave way one after another.

It was only after Minning got off the carriage that he could clearly see the large pieces of sheepskin on the ground.

When Minning saw the sheepskin, Minning frowned. Using sheepskin to make a hot air balloon is too crude.

When he saw Minning coming, Lin Yuan took a young man by the hand.

"Master, this one is the one who made Huang Qin who can lead people to fly Kongming lanterns."

Huang Qin paid obeisance on the spot, having stayed in this Zhuangzi for a long time, of course he knew that the existence of this Zhuangzi was all due to the support of Baylor Fang Fujin.

This one does not discriminate against craftsmen at all. In the whole Zhuangzi, craftsmen live like ordinary people. For many people, this place is a paradise.

Minning smiled, "You did a good job, but you have to be careful, have you tried it?"

"Returning to the nobleman, I went up to test it yesterday, and I didn't dare to fly high, but I can still see the capital in the distance clearly."

"Well, I only have one request, and that is to pay attention to safety."

Soon, the fire in the bamboo basket was ignited, and several people put the sheepskin mouth on top of the bamboo frame, and the sheepskin slowly bulged up as if it had been inflated.

Standing above the bamboo basket, the candlelight was slowly lifted up by the sheepskin ball and floated into the sky, but was soon caught by the rope on the ground.

The people in the surrounding Zhuangzi who came to see the strange things all held their breath.

Then I saw Huang Qin quickly climbed into the bamboo basket, and then adjusted the flamethrower inside. The flame sprayed higher, and the people who were holding the rope were almost brought up.

He waved a red chess piece, and the person holding the rope let go, and soon the sheepskin ball flew into the sky with a bamboo basket.

The rope that was originally wrapped around the pillar was quickly moved, and flew into the sky along with the bamboo frame.

The hot air balloon flew higher and higher, but it was held by a rope, like a paper kite, it could only fly upwards but never left the sight of everyone.

After the rope has been wound and stretched tightly, the sheepskin ball stops in mid-air.

The people below cheered, and someone kept shouting, "It's really flying!"

"We made it!"

Minning also smiled. At this moment, she deeply realized that she has indeed brought changes to this era.

In fact, not only the people in Zhuangzi saw it, they could see the hot air balloon here, and people in the capital city and Changchun Garden saw it.

Many people were in shock, even the emperor who had just returned to Beijing and was still in Changchun Garden was shocked.

"What's up there?"

Liang Jiugong identified it carefully, and said half puzzled: "Go back to Long Live Lord, it looks a bit like a Kongming lantern."

"Go get my binoculars!"

The emperor stood in the garden, holding a binoculars and looking up at the sky, only to find that there was actually a person sitting under the large Kongming lantern.

He was greatly surprised, and ordered on the spot, "Send the nine admirals to bring this person here."

"twitter!"

After a while, the red flag above waved again, very conspicuous in the middle of the blue sky and white clouds. More than a dozen people came from get off work and grabbed the rope and pulled it down together. Someone behind quickly rolled up the rope.

In about twenty minutes, the sheepskin ball was pulled down.

Huang Qin shivered and jumped down from the bamboo basket. While trembling, his face turned pale and his lips were dark blue. so cold."

Seeing that he was still joking, the rest of the people immediately laughed, "Then have you seen the Tiangong in the sky?"

Huang Qin also laughed, "Maybe I don't have that chance, the gods have covered up the Heavenly Palace!"

Someone at the side hurriedly put on his clothes and brought ginger soup for him to drink.

Min Ning was busy asking people to check the sheepskin balls, and found that there were several places where the thread was off, and he was covered in cold sweat. Sure enough, there are crazy people in this era. If the thread is blown, this man named Huang Qin will be I can't come back.

This is simply a walk through the gate of hell.

"What do you think is that?" Someone pointed to the distance and suddenly exclaimed.

Minning also looked over, and saw a large cloud of dust kicked up in front of Zhuangzi, and the ground trembled a little.

"It's the footsteps of horses! Why are there so many horses here?" Lin Yuan was a little surprised.

Min Ning's mind moved, obviously the hot air balloon just now was discovered by someone, did they send someone over to investigate?Or to catch people?

Minning whispered something to Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan hurriedly nodded and left quickly.

After a group of troops on horseback surrounded a group of people, an official in official uniform appeared.

"Come here, take all the things on the ground away."

Then he looked at the people in Zhuangzi and said, "Who was flying in the sky just now?"

Huang Qin stood up, "It's me!"

The official stroked his beard and waved, "Come and take this man down for me!"

"Wait!"

Minning stepped out from the crowd, "Who are you, why are you here to arrest someone?"

But the officer said arrogantly, "I am the Chief Qian who is patrolling and arresting the Fifth Battalion. Who are you? How dare you obstruct this officer's work?"

Minning took out a jade pendant from his bosom, the official's expression changed drastically, he stepped forward and asked, "I don't know who the nobleman is?"

Minning put away the jade pendant and said, "My family members of Zhenbei Le Mansion. I don't know why my lord arrested me for no reason?"

As soon as the officer heard that it was just a family member of the prince, he immediately relaxed and replied: "I am here by the order of the emperor, please don't stop this nobleman."

Minning immediately said, "Since I am the owner of this man, I should be the one who is going to be caught, so I won't make things difficult for you, just take me with you."

The officer had a headache, and finally stretched out his hand, "Then invite this nobleman!"

Minning got into the carriage and was taken to Changchun Garden.

On the other side, Lin Yuan went directly to Baylor's mansion and reported the incident.Soon, another person from Baylor House went to look for fourth master.

Unfortunately, Fourth Master also went to Changchun Garden, leaving only a group of people outside who were anxious like ants on a hot pot.

"Long Live Lord, the Infantry Battalion has already investigated and found out that this matter was done by a person from the side Fujin Zhuangzi in Zhenbei Le's residence."

Many people also saw hot air balloons in the capital, but the princes left their errands to show their presence in front of the emperor.

The fourth master was also there, but he didn't expect that this time it would be related to An Jia's.

The emperor glanced at the fourth son, and then asked him, "Yinzhen, do you know about this matter?" In fact, before the infantry battalion came to report, someone in Zhuangzi hurriedly informed the emperor of the details of the incident.

Only then did the emperor remember that someone had reported a few months ago that someone in Zhuangzi was making a large Kongming lantern that could fly people into the sky.

It's just that he kept failing, and the emperor forgot about it, and thought that this person was quite whimsical, but he didn't expect it to be really successful today!

The fourth master respectfully replied, "Responding to Ama's words, my son doesn't know about it." The fourth master was driving one outside the Great Wall before, and he only came back for a few days. Of course, he didn't know what An Jia was up to.

The third prince on the side suddenly said, "Khan Ama, you may not know how amazing the fourth brother, this Fujin, is. There are many talented people under him, not to mention being able to make a ball that can fly into the sky, and he can also make a ball that can travel on the sea." iron ship."

"Can an iron boat sail on the sea? Isn't it afraid of sinking?" Brother Jiu who was on the side suddenly asked in surprise.

The third prince interjected, "Little Ninth Brother, don't you know that the iron boat can not only run on the sea, but also run faster than ordinary boats, and it won't be afraid of wind, waves and pirates. Last time I and Eighth brother..."

The eighth prince next to him coughed immediately, and the third child realized that he was talking baldly, and hurriedly stopped.

The emperor sitting at the top asked with great interest, "What did you and Lao Ba do last time?"

The third prince said honestly, "Didn't the eighth brother and I go to the outside of the Great Wall with Huang Ama? In the end, we were forced to make a bet by the subordinates of the younger brother and sister of the fourth family. If the iron boat can run on the sea, we And the eighth brother will have to pay double the price, if you can't run away, the younger brother and sister will pay us ten times the money."

It's also that they only saw the white money, how could they think that the iron boat could really run?After a trip to Japan, two wooden boats ran aground due to wind and rain, and nothing happened to the iron boat.

Willing to admit defeat, he and Lao Ba spent double the money to buy the iron boat. Not only did they buy it, but they also placed orders for several more iron boats.

After a trip to Japan, although I lost two ships, I earned more, enough to make up for the loss.

The emperor only knew that the third child and the eighth child had teamed up to go to Japan, but he didn't expect such an inside story behind it.

The iron boat could run on the sea without fear of wind and waves, so the emperor immediately thought of water transportation.

The reason why the river has been repaired all these years is not because the river has been unable to withstand water transportation, and there has been too much silt for hundreds of years, which has caused the river to flood continuously.

The reason why water transportation was not replaced by sea transportation is because the sea is constantly stormy, and the ships transporting grain are easily submerged in the sea.

If water transportation is changed to sea transportation, then the river can open several more tributaries, and hundreds of thousands of hectares of dry fields can be transformed into paddy fields.

How much grain do you receive each year?How much saline-alkali land needs to be transformed?

Thinking about it this way, the emperor decided to send someone to investigate the matter of the iron boat, which is a worldwide achievement.

Taking a meaningful look at the fourth child, the emperor had the idea that his son could not compare to a woman.

A few years ago, when the fourth son first joined the Ministry of Industry, he went to repair the river, but was put on by the local officials, and almost couldn't come back when he encountered a dike.But this time, a side Fujin in his backyard didn't face it directly, and directly pulled the bottom of the pot, digging the roots of water transportation.As long as the water transportation is nothing, the officials of the water transportation are naturally useless.

Fourth Master was a little bit wronged. He had followed Khan Ama on inspections all over the world for a long time this year. He was not in the capital. How could he know what An Jia was doing?What's more, didn't the old man tell him not to hinder An Jia's two years ago?

Minning was taken into Changchun Garden and waited outside a hall.

The few princes inside were still chatting lively, running on the fourth child sentence after sentence, and of course they couldn't rule out being envious of the golden baby who could make money in the fourth child's family.

The name of the Goddess of Wealth is indeed well-deserved!

Fourth Master's face was cold, and he turned a deaf ear to the brothers' run-on.

The emperor above looked calm, watching the quarrel of the sons below.

"Long Live Lord, the Huang Qin who made the Kongming Lantern has been brought here, and the Kongming Lantern has also been placed in the back garden." Having said this, Liang Jiugong paused, and then said: "The one in the residence of Zhenbei Le An Fang Fujin was also brought here."

Fourth master's eyes were fixed, and he immediately looked at the emperor, but his heart was full of worry, why did An Jia's family run over when he was not at the mansion?

Only then did the emperor speak out and asked Liang Jiugong, "Is Mrs. An Jia also present?"

Liang Jiugong replied, "Yes, when the infantry battalion went to arrest the man, An Fang Fujin was also there. He also said that he was Huang Qin's master and was willing to come together to plead guilty."

The emperor looked at the fourth son, "Fourth son, Fujin on your side is quite responsible, comparable to a man!"

The fourth master heard that there was no anger in the emperor's tone, and immediately replied: "Returning to Ama's words, I only know that An Jia treats his subordinates well and pays them well, so those craftsmen will work hard to develop Rice machine, rice hulling machine!" The fourth master was reminding the emperor of the contribution of that Zhuangzi.

How could the emperor not know that he was also looking forward to what that Zhuangzi could research, and he heard a report from a dark thread, saying that a large number of farmers had gathered there, and they were researching a higher-yielding rice seed that could double the yield. Go up.

Now it is being planted in large numbers, and enough seeds are collected.

The emperor was naturally looking forward to it. This matter did not require the court to spend money to do it, and it was good for the Qing Dynasty. He also turned a blind eye to the other party's sale of seeds to the people to make money.

He heard about some models of that factory, and he also knew that there is no money for research, and only by converting inventions into products and selling them for money can there be money to support research.

Even the imperial court couldn't support the research funding of millions of taels of silver that year, but a private farmhouse poured it in as if it didn't need money, and the research was not beneficial to the people, so the emperor was naturally happy to see it.

In fact, when he heard that the Kongming Lantern was researched by Zhuangzi, the emperor's mood calmed down. Let alone God, can he go to the sea without seeing others?

"Okay, since Mrs. An Jia is here, let's go and have a look at the back garden."

Minning was invited out, and instead of going directly into the hall, he went to the small garden on the side.

Maybe she saw a straight and thin back, Minning was taken aback, and then quickly kissed her body, "Master!"

Fourth Master turned his head to look at her, because of the wind blowing outside the Great Wall for several months, his face looked rough, in stark contrast to Minning's white and tender skin.

"Not yet!" Fourth Master stretched out his hand towards her.

Minning looked back, the eunuch who had led the way had already left.

She immediately stepped forward and held fourth master's hand, and asked happily, "Master, why are you here?"

Fourth master glared at her angrily, "Can you still not see you making such a big commotion?"

Min Ning shrank his neck and said, "I didn't expect it either. I just heard from the people in Zhuangzi that they had researched hot air balloons, so I ran to have a look. I didn't expect to fly so high that even Long Live God could see it." .”

In fact, Minning's Zhuangzi was some distance away from the capital, in the northeast of the capital, but Changchun Garden was also in the suburbs, so it was easier to see without the city walls blocking it.

"Let's go!" Fourth master pulled her forward.

Minning followed his footsteps and asked as he walked, "Master, where are we going? I still have to ask the emperor for my crimes. I can't blame Huang Qin for this." In this era, it is troublesome, and it is easy to do a little experiment To invite other people's prying eyes, if I had known it earlier, I would have done it while the emperor was not in Beijing.

"Don't worry, Khan Ama brought the man, just let him do it again, and won't embarrass him too much!"

However, Minning's face changed drastically, "No, the hot air balloon has lost its thread in some places, so it can't withstand the next flight."

Fourth master listened, and immediately froze, he knew that the hot air balloon was on fire, if it caught fire and fell from the sky, Changchun Garden would not be burned.

Thinking of this, the two hurried to the back garden.

When they first ran to the back garden, the emperor was letting Huang Qin fly again, and the fourth master hurriedly brought Min Ning to kneel in front of the emperor.

"Khan Ama, this thing is too dangerous, I'd better choose an open place to fly. Besides, the sky is dry in autumn, if sparks fall on the ground, it is very easy to cause a fire, but it's okay for others, but if it spreads to the garden..."

Fourth master didn't finish his words, but the emperor obviously understood what he meant.

The empress dowager taught him since he was a child that as an emperor, he must not put himself in danger.Not even a one in ten thousand possibility.

The emperor's eyes flicked across the face of the fourth son, and then to the woman beside him.

This was the first time he saw his fourth son, the famous An Cian Fujin, and he really had an outstanding appearance.

It's just that it's not only her looks that are outstanding, but also her head.

The emperor has been known for a long time for her one after another business experience.

"Then choose another day to watch it! Come and send people and things back!"

Minning knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor.

"Okay, you two get up!"

Speaking of the emperor, he walked towards the pavilion beside him, and several princes followed him.

Fourth master also pulled Minning up and took her with him.

The emperor sat down on the wooden bench in the middle of the pavilion, and the other princes stood on both sides.

Immediately, a court lady spread snacks and tea on the table.

The emperor took a sip from the tea bowl before slowly asking the two of them.

"Father of the old family, I can understand those craftsmen of yours researching the threshing machine, but what's the use of making this Kongming lantern that can fly people?"

Minning knew that she was testing her this time, so he blessed Fushen and replied, "If you go back to the Long Live Lord, this hot air balloon will be very effective."

"Why is it called a hot air balloon?" The emperor immediately knew that the old four family had given strange names to something new.Still the same as before, the ability to name is not good.

"That's because we live in the air. After the air in the hot air balloon is heated, it is lighter than the air outside the ball, and it will float like a boat."

Qi Yi said that the emperor naturally understood, even he understood the air pressure in Xiyanggewu. This time Minning said so, the emperor naturally understood the principle of the flying Kongming lantern.

The emperor nodded, "Go ahead."

Minning replied: "There is another thing called a telescope in the West..." Minning originally wanted to talk about the benefits of the telescope.

Unexpectedly, the emperor interrupted directly, "I know this. A few years ago, a Westerner in Hangzhou presented me with a few binoculars. But it can only see things in the distance."

Minning did not expect that the emperor had known about telescopes for a long time, and later she thought that the palace began to make glass, and visual inspection should be the emperor's insight into the magic of telescopes.

She tried hard to think about what she had read in the novel before, and continued: "This hot air balloon can fly people into the sky. As long as you hold a telescope, you can truly see thousands of miles. If there are hot air balloons and thousands of miles in wartime The mirror, any trouble can escape the human eye. Long live Lord, if these two things are found for a few years, then Galdan's rebellion..."

Already leveled.

The emperor answered in his heart.

Then he asked again, "I know the benefits of this, but I'm just curious. I heard that your Zhuangzi's inventions that can't be transformed into products are useless. How do you use this thing to make money?"

Minning asked him cautiously, "Long Live Lord, this is wartime equipment, do you agree with me using it to make money?" She thought that this would definitely be taken away by the emperor.

The emperor raised his chin, "Tell me first."

Minning thought for a while, "This rope can be used to fly after it is released, and it will take less than a day from Beijing to Jiangnan."

"It can also be used to transport goods. For some heavy things, put them on a hot air balloon, and then tie the hot air balloon to the carriage with a rope. It is as easy as pulling goods on water." It seems that there is a novel written like this .

"It can also be used for performances, such as selling tickets, so that people can sit on it and try the feeling of flying." This is a modern hot air balloon business model.

The emperor nodded, "Since you have an idea, let's see it! But how do you plan to pay the tax?"

The tax paid by the fourth family has never been less every year, and he knows this.At least half of the commercial tax in the capital is contributed by the old four factories.

For such a person who pays taxes honestly, it is natural to be blessed.

"Long live, this tax is paid in the same way as others. [-]% of the ticket is tax, the other [-]% is used for the love fund, and the rest goes to the factory." What she didn't say is that [-]% goes to the factory, and [-]% goes to Huang Qin commission.

"What is the funding for this love fund?" The emperor naturally had no objection to the fact that taxes and fees were already considered high.However, when I heard a new term, I thought it meant something and asked.

The fourth master next to him interjected, "Ama Khan, the son of the Love Fund knows about it."

The emperor looked at his fourth son, "Oh, tell me about it."

The fourth master immediately replied: "The money in this love fund is used to build orphanages and nursing homes, which will take in some abandoned orphans and the elderly. And this fund will also be donated to other nursing homes every year." Food and clothing."

The emperor praised, "Yes, this is a great act of kindness. No wonder the number of beggars in the capital has decreased a lot in the past two years."

"Huihan Ama said that this love fund is not only building orphanages and nursing homes in the capital, but has now radiated to Baoding, and also accepts donations from other businessmen. The source of each sum is well documented. It will send people to it from time to time. Go to check the accounts, the accounts used are simple and clear, and you can get it right when you go out and in." Then he bowed to the emperor before explaining his purpose.

"My son believes that the Ministry of Household Affairs should introduce this new accounting method and thoroughly investigate the old accounts."

The emperor naturally knew that the accounts of the household department were not checked, and the fourth child had a good heart, but this matter involved too much, so he had to figure it out slowly.

"It's good to introduce a new bookkeeping method, and I'll leave it to you, Yinzhen. However, there are too many accounts involved in checking out the old accounts, so I'd better wait for a while."

With just a few words, he got a job offer from the household department, which made the princes next to him envious and jealous.

"Khan Ama, my son thinks he is also capable of this job!" The third prince stepped out immediately and recommended himself.

The emperor gave up, "Aren't you repairing the book? Let's repair the book as soon as possible."

Seeing that the third child touched a soft nail, the others immediately retracted the foot that was about to step out.

The emperor glanced at it, and his sons said, "Since the people have started to run their own nursing homes, the imperial court can't lag behind. Donate 1 taels of silver from my private treasury to this love fund. On the person who should use it."

Several other princes glanced one after another, knelt down and shouted "Khan Ama is merciful."

Min Ning was dragged by Fourth Master, and also knelt down in a daze.

"Okay, don't tell me these nice things anymore, get up!"

A group of people cheered and got up.

The emperor asked Xiang Minning again, "Mr. An Jia, the deep plow and the thresher invented in your village have contributed to our Qing Dynasty. What reward do you want? Tell me, and I will definitely give it to you." Allow you!"

Minning said in his heart on the spot, I want a gold medal for avoiding death, but it is absolutely impossible.In history, those who have the gold medal for avoiding death are the fastest to die.

Pressing down on this thought, Minning carefully replied, "If you go back to the Long Live Lord, the servants don't want anything."

The emperor smiled and said, "You can say it, as long as you say it, I will agree."

Minning's heart was pounding, she felt as if she was on the verge of death, her mind was running fast, the emperor was clearly deceiving her, if the demands were too high, she probably wouldn't survive the end of the year.
