The Rich and the Idlers of the Red Chamber

Lin Ruhai was never a fool. He had thought that way before, but he was always serving in front of the imperial court, and someone had come to him around the corner. What's more, when he looked at the saint, he really didn't look like he was in good health. There were some signs of slack in government. Although the sage didn't do everything by himself, he had to read all the notes, but now he asked the cabinet to finish it first, and then asked the servants around him to classify and read only the important ones. Listen to it yourself, and then let the servants approve it for you.

Dai Quan is now known as the inner minister, and that's how it is.He was loyal to protect the lord before, and after returning to the capital, he was valued by the sage, and he seemed to have mastered the right to approve red. He is not that kind of fool. Mind, saints are gradually delegating power, Lin Ruhai often makes daily notes in front of the imperial court, but he is well aware of this.

To be honest, as a courtier, what I hope most is for a sage to rule. It is best not to care about anything and let the courtiers let go of their hands and feet to do it by themselves, but it is clear that Lin Ruhai, who is still relatively young, has not thought of this. In fact, in his opinion, Dai Quan is a traitor, and the saint is getting more and more confused when he gets older.Therefore, in the private letter, there is some disrespect towards the saint, which is why he intends to find a wise master to stand in line with.

However, no matter how smart Lin Ruhai is, he has never guessed the mind of a saint. Generally speaking, there is no one who wants to live forever when he is an emperor. That's the end of it.

The saint thought that the sons before could not hold back, and felt that those sons still felt that they were getting old, and they would be confused in the future, thinking that they should act first. Now he looks at any son and feels that they are not filial to him. , his eyes are staring at the chair under his buttocks, so the saint has made up his mind to live a long and long life.

If you want to live a long life, naturally you can't work too hard. How did Zhuge Liang die? Isn't it because he wanted to grasp all the big and small things?Therefore, the sage now simply handed over everything except the really crucial matters to the cabinet and a group of servants headed by Dai Quan. If the two sides fight together, he, the emperor, can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and watch the tigers fight from the mountain .

But the sage himself began to delve into the way of keeping in good health. Whether it is an imperial doctor or those old Taoists, he can tell one, two, three things about this kind of thing.The sage also found Jia She, and Jia She did not hide his secrets. Unless the people in Ten Thousand Flowers Valley suffered sudden disasters, there were almost no short-lived ones. Naturally, this is not only a matter of inner strength and mentality, but naturally has a unique experience in health preservation .Jia Amnesty made a small booklet about the ways of keeping in good health in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, and entered it. There are many taboos clearly stated in it. Although it is impossible for a saint to follow them all, he still pays special attention to maintaining his body now.

Jia Amnesty knew the inside story, so he naturally understood that if the saint is like this, maybe the so-called twelve beauties of Jinling are all dead, and the saint is still alive and well!Of course, whether the saint will abdicate at that time and become the so-called Supreme Emperor is another matter.

Not to mention that Lin Ruhai knew some things from Jia She, and was secretly glad that he had maintained his sanity before and didn't really agree to any party, but Jia Min was taken aback by Jia She's generosity in raising children. The tree house like a bird’s nest on a tree, the rooms with different shapes and functions, the furniture and toys full of childishness, all kinds of bright colors, and the enlightenment books specially drawn made Jia Min shocked and envious, but also gave birth to yearning , she touched her belly unconsciously, full of longing for her future child.

After this time, Lin Ruhai, Jia Min and his wife had more and more contacts with Jia She and the others. When Shi knew about it, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. At the beginning, you will be troubled by this kind of thing. You, a mother, don't hope that your children will be good, but hope that they will be at odds. It is really incomprehensible.After too many times, Jia Min just ignored it and didn't explain anything to Shi Shi. Anyway, he forgot what to do or what to do. Secretly, he had already discussed with Lin Ruhai that he would go straight away after the term of office of the Imperial Academy came to an end. It is also possible to avoid these gossips in Beijing and China by letting the way out.

Jia Shen was not really idle at home. Apart from planting flowers and weeds, he resumed some mechanical techniques he learned in Wanhua Valley. As a boy, he never disassembled clocks, radios and toys when he was at home when he was a child. What, that was an unqualified childhood. He was very talented in this area at the beginning. He once had ambitions to be an engineer. Unfortunately, the older a person is, the more he has to succumb to reality. But after studying economics, he took over the business from his parents to make it bigger and stronger, but the result was a financial crisis. His parents simply sold out the business, and it was not easy to find another job that matched him. .In the end, he simply took the civil servant exam, which was too far away from his original ideal.

After traveling to the Tang Dynasty, Jia Amnesty saw the tricks in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, and learned from the Tiangong lineage for a while. However, compared to medical skills and martial arts, what he learned was superficial, but But with the permission of Tiangong, he read all those books and memorized many of them by rote, and now he just thinks about them when he has nothing to do. People made parts and assembled them.

Jia She started to engage in sea trade a few years ago. He heard that there were small-scale workshops in the southern generation, using looms to weave Songjiang cloth and some other materials. The sales were very good. Jia She immediately knew that it was now considered a Capitalism has sprouted.

Jia Amnesty also had a time as an angry youth, and now he has some ambitions again, and he is preparing for an industrial revolution at home.He didn't have much interest in steam engines and the like, and finally escaped the modern smog. He didn't intend to enjoy the taste of pm2.5 on Zhuangzi himself, so he played with hydraulic wind machines .

The wind power is not feasible near the capital, the main reason is that the wind is not strong enough, but there is a lot of water here, the Jing and Wei rivers pass through the capital, and these years have not stopped flowing, even in Jia She's Zhuangzi, there are A river passes by!

The first thing Jia Amnesty created was a water-powered printing machine. He directly built a small dam on his own village, and then built a movable-type printing workshop. The hydraulic power is almost endless, driving the printing machine to run day and night. I don't know how many times the efficiency has been improved.

Although movable type printing has been around since the Northern Song Dynasty, the price of books has not dropped much. Some precious books will eventually be engraved. Because of this, there are always some unsatisfactory things, not to mention, even if movable type is used, people still have to operate it, and the labor cost is not low. Now hydraulic power has replaced labor, and the efficiency has skyrocketed.

Jia She not only invented the hydraulic printing machine, but he is not short of money at all now. The movable type is not wooden movable type, pottery movable type, but copper movable type. Therefore, the printed pages are also very clear, similar to engraving. In this way, the cost of printing a book in Jia She's printing workshop can be imagined.

Jia Amnesty has always been high-profile in his work. After the hydraulic printing workshop was produced, thousands of sets of enlightenment reading materials were printed at once, that is, three hundred thousand for elementary school and three hundred poems, which were directly donated to family studies and genealogy in various families in Beijing There are also some elementary schools in the suburbs of Beijing.

Jia Shen's move almost made a group of booksellers vomit blood with anger, and then a little fear was born. Many people have seen the hydraulic movable type printing machine that Jia Shen made, so they naturally know that this machine is used in large quantities. How much cost is saved in printing? The more you print, the lower the cost. These booksellers used to have their own printing workshops, but now their cost price is higher than Jia She’s retail price. How can they compete? ?

If an ordinary craftsman came up with this kind of thing, there would be nothing to talk about. If you don’t obey, your family will be ruined in minutes. The problem is that Jia She was the one who made this thing, and the Holy Majesty personally sealed it. An Lehou, a character in the emperor's heart, such a person, flattery is not enough, let alone provoke others?

However, it is impossible for Jia Amnesty to come up with this for the sake of fame. They also want to make money. Therefore, soon someone came to the door with money, and said straightforwardly that he was willing to sell all the books in the bookstore. Entrusted to Jia Amnesty's workshop for printing.

The scale of Jia She's workshop is not large, and how many orders it can take. Therefore, the steward Jia She sent out said directly that the workshop of his own can't afford such a heavy production task. Selling the machine to you, you go back and renovate your own workshop by yourself, it's not embarrassing at all.

When the steward said this, he immediately made the bookseller who was planning to bleed a lot dumbfounded, and then he was overjoyed. Master Jia Hou is really a kind person, he is willing to sell the hen that lays golden eggs directly, buy, Why not buy it!

The bookseller returned satisfied, and the people who had been on the sidelines immediately rushed forward with generous gifts when they heard the news. They all said that we also want to buy the machine, please take pity on us, Master Jia Hou, and sell us the machine!

The selling price set by Jia She is not very high, therefore, buying one back and copying it by oneself may not be cost-effective on the one hand, on the other hand it will offend An Lehou, no one would do such a stupid thing, therefore, a Some of them were just waving banknotes, and some even rushed from the south in order to buy a few water conservancy printing machines and go back.

The craftsmen on Jia She's village almost worked in three shifts, and they couldn't produce so many machines. Jia She didn't intend to take over the entire business by himself, so he took out the blueprints and asked the steward to tell them directly. If you want to do this, then buy back the drawings. In addition, within three years, every time you produce a printing machine according to the drawings, you have to pay me a sum of money.

Of course, in these days, this kind of thing is all based on self-consciousness, and it is impossible for Jia Amnesty to send someone to watch it. After a batch of blueprints are sold, Jia Amnesty's place is finally quiet.
