Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

Wang Xiujin's actions were very fast. He didn't want the power plant to turn into a fire plant, so he naturally had to set a lot of rules and regulations. If it went wrong, losing money would be a trivial matter. The loss of talents, and those who stared at him, from time to time The minister who wanted to take a bite out of him, how could he let others take advantage of him.One rule after another, nailed to the board, illiterate?Can't read the text?It doesn't matter, there is a special teacher who will explain word by word, so that everyone can understand and recognize clearly.

The matter of the power plant sounded a wake-up call to Wang Xiujin. In every workshop, Wang Xiujin revised the rules again and again to ensure absolute safety in production.

Speaking of it, the literati all over the world are gnashing their teeth at Wang Xiujin not only because he has a lot of money, but also because he makes more and more literate people.At first, they praised Wang Xiujin several times for his good behaviors to literati, but when they saw more and more literate people appearing, they also became dissatisfied with Wang Xiujin. Only by reading can one feel like a master, but now, people who can read and write are everywhere, even beggars, and they all know some words, so there is no sense of self-goodness of a master.The status of scholars has become ordinary, less conspicuous, less and less respected by the emperor, and even the common people don't respect them as much as before. How can this not make civil servants feel dissatisfied with Wang Xiujin.

With the decline of the status of scholars, the status of some traditional craftsmen has improved. For example, in the gunpowder workshop in the army, two masters were proclaimed by the emperor, and in Wang Xiujin's boat workshop, a master was not recognized as a master. He was named a master, but he was also named a craftsman. In addition to the reward of one hundred taels of silver, there are two taels of silver every month. This kind of reward makes every craftsman particularly excited.

Wang Xiujin is happy to see more and more attention paid to craftsmen. Although there is still some gap between craftsmen and scientific researchers, training and training may inspire more people, make everyone more motivated, and more ambitious. Invent something unexpected.Wang Xiujin admired the manufacturing ability of the ancients very much. Looking at the Great Wall built by the ancients, it can stand for thousands of years and has gone through many wars.

Apart from the Great Wall, there are still many buildings built by our ancestors, the most representative of which is the bridge. The bridge built with huge investment in later generations had an accident within a few years, but the bridge built by the ancients did not have any problems.Compared with technology, the later generations are far more advanced than the ancients. Compared with the design concept and building materials, the ancients are no match for the later generations.Of course, there are always a small number of buildings involved in accidents, but the media always likes to magnify such accidents, which will give people the illusion that they are "not as good as the ancients".

The matter of admiring craftsmen was not smooth at first. In the eyes of some self-conscious people, craftsmen are all inferior people, so how can they be praised.This word reached the ears of the emperor somehow, and the emperor felt very uncomfortable.The ancestor of the emperor was a carpenter before the uprising.The old ancestor didn't think his background was low, and the emperor didn't shy away from mentioning his ancestor's background. The promotion of the status of a craftsman this time was not only because he wanted to suppress the literati, but also because the emperor dreamed of his ancestor.The emperor didn't remember what was said in the dream, but only remembered the appearance of the old ancestor. It wasn't that the emperor had gotten along with the old ancestor or how close they were, but that the old man was so similar to his father.

In later generations, psychologists will explain that this is brain thinking or something... But in ancient times, it was believed that there must be something wrong with the ancestor entrusting him with a dream.Considering that the imperial mausoleum is guarded, and the specifications of the imperial mausoleum are quite good, it should not be that the private house is uncomfortable, so what could make the ancestors entrust their dreams?After thinking about it, the emperor didn't have any thoughts. It happened that during the day, civil servants ran to the emperor to read the military workshop.

When the emperor heard it, his heart lit up, and then the civil official who ran to the emperor and wanted to suppress the military workshop was relegated to a remote county as a county magistrate. what happened.

The civil servants in the imperial court also saw the current emperor's preferences. Some people calmed down because of this, and some people were unwilling to change the dynasty, but... those who have wealth and power in their hands may not be able to raise troops and succeed in changing the dynasty. A group of literati who can only talk and look down on Wufu... they were extinguished without even gaining momentum, and the fate of these people... can be guessed without using their brains.

Regarding what happened to the imperial court, Wang Xiujin could only think about it, even if he wanted to do something regardless of himself.My father is the emperor's adviser, and although my eldest brother has no real power in the household department, the backing behind him is the emperor. As long as he doesn't make low-level mistakes in the future, his future will be limitless.In her husband's house, Old General Li is still healthy and healthy. Master Li does not have military power in his hands, but he is a general of the garrison army. Li Sushan is now in charge of the school that specially escorts the soldiers of the army.The second master of the Li family is stationed at the border, and the third master of the Li family is in charge of the logistics of the army. The Li family is more eye-catching than the Wang family, but no one proposes to investigate the Li family. The reason is very simple. The only imperial merchant who has been sealed is in the Li family .

Someone counted Wang Xiujin's properties in detail. Except for groceries, he seemed to have a share of everything related to people's life, especially the power plant. When several officials from the Ministry of Households mentioned it, their eyes turned red.Back then, Wang Huangshang had asked them, but he didn't say that after the completion of the construction, it would make a lot of money every day!Why are they so stupid, they think that Wang Huangshang will be a boy who spreads money, and he is clearly a good hand at collecting money.

Compared to those who regretted it, they might be green. The little princes who took out all the money made money. They didn't care about how much money they made. What they cared about was being able to get closer to Wang Xiujin.At first, Wang Xiujin was worried that getting mixed up with so many princes would arouse the emperor's suspicion, but after being ordered by his father, he didn't care about it anymore.

With the completion of the laying of electric wires, every household will light lamps that can be illuminated at night. The light bulbs are not made of good materials, but they are brighter than oil lamps.After the electricity was connected, the capital gradually became a city that never sleeps.The street vendors, shops, and some courtyards engaged in special industries make the night in the capital as lively as the day.At the end of the year, the Ministry of Households calculated the annual tax in the capital, which was several times higher than in previous years.

At the end of the year, Wang Xiujin led people to liquidate the year's harvest. The power plant was still losing money, and the income of other shops increased significantly due to the extended night business hours.Calculate the accounts for one year, divide the money in layers, make a list, and send the money out.

"Little Daddy! It's time to leave." The young lady of the Li family stepped into the study with her skirt lifted.

"I'll be right away." Wang Xiujin wrote the last word, put the pen on the brush, dried the ink on the paper, put the paper into the envelope, and put it in the box.An envelope like this is added to the box every year. If you want to open it to read, the content recorded inside is nothing special, the profits and dividends of several shops, it's as simple as that.

Put the box in the cabinet, turned around and picked up her daughter, "Let's go." As he spoke, he gently weighed it, which made his daughter giggle.

This year, I don't know what the old man thought, after the emperor skipped the New Year's banquet, old man Li mentioned that he would go back to Li village for the new year.If the imperial doctor hadn't said that the old man was fine, Wang Xiujin might have guessed in a bad direction.

Back to Li Village for the New Year, there are a lot of things to prepare. Big carts and small cars are transported to Li Village. The house built in Li Village before was also repaired and repaired. The iron partition is made of lint, and a burnable carbon iron pipe is added to ensure warmth along the way without freezing people.

Sitting in the carriage, Mr. Li felt that life is good now, thinking that in the past, when he was fighting in winter, it would be good to have a jacket.The children listened carefully to the old man's Yi Ruo Si Tian's story, but Wang Xiujin's thoughts were scattered. It's not that he didn't want to be serious, but that he lacked some sense of substitution. Some things were just stories without personal experience.

Arriving at Li Village, the village head of Li Village seemed to be waiting at the entrance of the village long ago, with a very excited expression on his face, but the old man didn't get out of the car, nor did he respond to the village head's words. He only asked the housekeeper to get off the car and greet the village head.

Wang Xiujin thought that celebrating the New Year in the village would be more lively than in the city, but that was not the case. The large courtyard of the Li family discouraged people who lived in the village. Don't mention the door-to-door interruption.Since they arrived in the village, only the village head came once, and he asked whether the old general would participate in the ancestor worship.

This year, on the contrary, is the quietest year.There is no communication between people coming and going, it is really a rest.The two children can't go out to play. The two brothers and sisters are in the yard, and there are many things to play with.

Wang Xiujin woke up early and went to bed early at night, and seemed to make up for the lack of sleep over the years. Even so, he still fell asleep from time to time. On New Year's Eve, Wang Xiujin finally got up early in the morning, stretching his waist and waking up. The image is good. Standing in front of the window, looking at the yard, two children who have already woken up at some time are punching. Suddenly remembered, he seems to have learned it before, but he has not practiced it for many years. His arms are weak and his legs are weak. He was even more unsteady. He used to get up early for a run, and he didn't know when he started to be left behind.

Touching his fleshy belly, counting his age, and thinking about touching Li Sushan's same abdominal muscles last night, Wang Xiujin began to consider whether to start exercising tomorrow, to practice his figure, so that he can't look thinner when he wears clothes, but has muscles when he takes off his clothes. You can't raise a pregnant belly either.
