110.Chapter 110 Science and technology are the primary productive forces
In the yamen of the Ministry of Officials, Zhou Xiaomei and Ruan Ergou met in a narrow way!
When Zhou Xiaomei entered the door, he saw the dog son who was picking up someone's body, and his momentum suddenly poured out for thousands of miles: "Xuexue, come here Daddy." β
Xue Xue looked at the dog father, and then at her brother/Ruan Ergou, obviously feeling that her brother was a little kinder, and turned her head and yelled at his dog father: "Wang! β
"Wow!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was shocked, "What's the matter? Went home. "Aren't they usually quite obedient!
Xue Xue: "Wang! β
Four claws are hard to beat. Although Xuexue is a powerful dog, it has an even more powerful dog daddy, which was taken away mercilessly.
Ruan Bai looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in amazement, and easily took away a big dog of more than 100 catties.
After a while, Zhong Shilang of the Ministry of Officials touched it in and smiled dignifiedly: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince is very fond of fierce beasts, but I didn't expect the rumors to be true." β
Ruan Bai thought back to the big dog who was coquettish and tricky, what kind of beast was that! Cute beasts, right?
"Didn't you say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only has golden eagles now?" Next week, he will go to the Yushi Observatory for rotation, and all kinds of fierce beasts are still participated in by Shao Yushi.
Zhong Shilang found Ruan Bai's snack jar familiarly, and while pouring tea for himself, he said: "When she was ginseng, Xue Xue was still a puppy and sent it to Princess Min to raise. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often visits. β
Why do you talk about it as if a divorced father has visitation rights to his children?
Ruan Bai looked at Zhong Shilang with black lines on his head. He didn't ask the prince what he was doing here. As the crown prince, Zhou Xiaomei's status is unshakable, and he doesn't need to be like him at all, and he has to take a walking position to be able to run around between the yamen of various ministries.
The so-called not in his position and not seeking his own politics, Ruan Bai is too lazy to talk too much, and he has no ability to talk more.
It didn't take long for Zhong Shilang to feel bored, and he walked out again under the pretext of official business.
Ruan Bai rolled his eyes, saw that the time was almost up, and packed his things to prepare for home.
Now that the glass is already there, will the conservatory be far away? Thinking about his hard days at the border last year, he suddenly had nothing to love.
What hot spring village grows vegetables, the output is so scarce that it can only supply a small number of people. Besides, isn't it just a two-bite dish? He didn't believe he couldn't do it!
The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry are not skilled in building. They may lack the spirit of innovation, but in terms of hands-on ability, they can complete the five scum of Tang Yan and others. The technology of burning glass was brought to the Ministry of Industry, and the craftsmen were already able to fire glass of various shapes and colors.
It's just that the adults in the Ministry of Industry are still detached from life, and they regard glass more as a handicraft than as a daily necessities and building materials.
Ruan Bai hehe. Relying on his special status, he placed an order with the Ministry of Industry early in the morning to replace all the windows of the Pingxi Mansion with glass, and at the same time cleaned up several courtyards and built several huge conservatories.
Anyway, there are few people in the palace, and many courtyards are empty. Except for the occasional inhabited ones, many of them are actually dilapidated, but they look okay on the outside. When the house was demolished, all kinds of bad situations were simply shocking.
In addition to rebuilding in the palace, he also built a ten-acre greenhouse in a small village on the outskirts of Beijing. It's not that he doesn't want to build more, but it's impossible for the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to give him a bare glass and nothing else.
His movements are definitely not small. Of course, due to the problem of production capacity, all the deliveries were completed after Chu Hao left. He was busy like a dog every day, and even the general and his wife did not set foot in the Pingxi Palace, let alone anyone else. They were curious, but they couldn't enter, and they didn't know that some of the fast-ripening vegetables that were planted first could already be marketed!
After receiving a cart of fresh and watery green leafy vegetables from the General's Mansion, the housekeepers of high-ranking families who had never been very interested in the mail order orders of the property office suddenly found that a lot of vegetables appeared on the list!
Did you copy the wrong list?
This was the first reaction of the housekeepers. It's not like this hasn't happened in the past. After all, these shopping lists are all copied by hand, and it is said that they also feed a few poor students. However, in the past, mistakes were only occasional misspellings of one or two words, and there were no such large-scale errors.
So, is there really a vegetable to buy? Deceptive, right? It's so cold, except for a few bites of green food in the palace, where can others enjoy it?
However, it doesn't look very expensive? The stewards tried to place an order, and they actually received fresh vegetables the next day!
Winter vegetables are on the market at the beginning of the day, and the daily supply is limited. Converted to each household, it can probably only be supplied to the owners with one dish of vegetables per person per day. Like the General's Mansion, a large car every day is simply impossible.
But even if it's just that, Ruan Bai has already made a lot of money. When he was called to the imperial study, even the emperor said: "Ruan Lang's ability to make money is much higher than Li Aiqing." β
As the emperor, he actually rarely calls anyone who is what Lang, and when he says this, it is like the old man is talking about his own sons and nephews. But who's to say it isn't? The emperor and the king of Pingxi called him a brother and a brother, and Ruan Bai was the second young master of the Pingxi Palace, so if he was a little bigger, he might not be able to call the emperor an uncle.
Li Shangshu was used as a negative case, and he was not angry, he looked at Ruan Bai and smiled: "Yes, Your Majesty." In the future, I hope that Ruan Lang will give more guidance to the old ministers. β
Ruan Bai wanted to roll his eyes, and said, "Why don't you let the Ministry of Industry take out the process of burning glass and hand it over to the Ministry of Household to set up a glass factory?" "The current glass is actually just ordinary glass, and he doesn't know how to make special glass, but he believes that it is difficult for so many craftsmen to break the cow, and it is really not good, isn't there still a golden rabbit?
Factory? Li Shangshu's half-true expression just now suddenly became stern: "I want to hear it in detail." β
In fact, the current Da Zhou has no concept of factories or factories at all. Most of the goods are produced in small family workshops, and there are very few zΓ i wage laborers. Take the relatively developed textile industry in the Great Zhou Dynasty as an example, many farmers planted mulberry trees by themselves, raised silkworms and reeled silk, and then woven them into cloth and sold them to cloth farms.
In fact, this method is very inefficient and unprofessional, and it is not conducive to cost and quality control.
Of course, Da Zhou still has great resistance to women going out to work. Ruan Bai didn't want to take such a big step in one step, but let the men who were already going out to work enter the factory to work.
ββ¦β¦ Centralized production, unified sales...... Payroll is paid on a monthly basis...... Staff dormitory ......"
Li Shangshu's mouth moved, swallowing back the question of how much money it would cost to build such a factory. He quietly lost his eyes and gave the Ministry of Industry Shangshu: How much money did you make last time you sold so much glass to Ruan Bai?
Gongbu Shangshu only glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and did not squeak.
Li Shangshu made persistent efforts and made a gesture: If you make money, let's score 28 points.
The corners of the Ministry of Works' mouth twitched, and he made a gesture: I am eight and you are two.
Li Shangshu's eyes widened, and he almost tore off a beard: No!
The gestures of the two of them are back and forth, and finally fixed in the third of the seventh department of the household.
And from this day on, it means that Da Zhou really links scientific research and productivity. The Ministry of Industry has also changed from a creditor who chases the household department all day long to ask for money, to a big cow who is chased by the household department all day long to get results.
Of course, at this moment, they have not yet realized what this "agreement at hand" means.
Ruan Bai pouted. Maybe it won't be long before the Ministry of Industry can study movable type printing?
The weather is getting colder and colder, but the kings and ministers of the Great Zhou are on fire. Especially after they saw the glass windows and the money they made from Ruan Bai, they were even more determined to build a glass factory.
In fact, they also had to speed things up.
Because Ruan Bai is a bad boy, he secretly replaced all the shops under his name with glass windows and glass countertops. No one in Pingxi Wangfu dared to enter casually, but if a shop opened to do business, could it still stop people from entering?
So, the delicate girls in the past would not get dizzy and sore when they went out of the room, and they thought of ways to run into the shop one by one. Of course, you can't run in vain, right?
"This new night cream is very good."
"It's important to hydrate in a drier and drier weather."
"By the way, our shop pΓΉ recently launched wool accessories, and the slave maid went to pick them up and showed them to the girl."
Unlike in the grassland, where there is only white wool. The conditions of Da Zhou are certainly better. Liniang and her sisters have long dyed their wool in a variety of colors, from bright and soft colors suitable for girls and children, to dignified and generous colors suitable for women, and then to various colors suitable for men. And it is also a glove scarf, and there are various styles, which can simply make people dazzled.
The shopping guides will also sell all kinds of yarns: "If the girl is interested, why don't you try to knit it yourself?" Let's start by knitting a scarf, it's very simple. The girl is so smart and icy, she will definitely learn it as soon as she learns it. β
Many young girls in modern times have had a similar experience, buying a bunch of materials with great interest, and then moving them twice and throwing them aside. It's not just about knitting scarves...... Many people have spent irrationally. Wool is not expensive, buy wool today and give a rod needle. Buy, buy, buy!
Not only has the sales volume of Butterfly Love Flower soared, but it was not bad in Bailifang.
In addition, it is Ruan Bai's pastry shop in Xinyunfang. All kinds of pastries are placed in a glass table and simply sparkle. For several days, it was sold out before noon. Some of the most popular varieties even require you to queue up early in the morning.
In this situation, ordinary people can only look at glass. But for the vast majority of the customer base of Butterfly Love Flower and Bailifang......
"Where can I buy glass?"
"Money is not an issue."
"Trouble to point out the way, the benefits are indispensable to you."
Shoppers are being asked every day.
Of course, ordinary people will not be particularly embarrassed by the shopping guides, and they will be embarrassed by their parents after they go back.
"Dad, don't you usually hear the wind in the yamen?"
"Dad, you know so many people, and those uncles and uncles don't know at all?"
Patriarch/Dad: It's so hard to be a dad.
