In the south study, Emperor Shunzhi and Prince An and Prince Xian have been talking for a long time. It seems that the effect is good. The emperor looked excited, walking around on the ground:

"Fourth brother and Fu Shou, your ideas are very good, and you want to help help the second brother Fuyou, you are very courageous. When I mentioned this matter to my second brother, I didn't expect him to be big at all, I just felt that it was not easy for him to have this heart to serve the country, who would have thought that the two of you would also follow in the footsteps of the second brother. ”

"Don't the minions feel that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband? What a great credit the second brother has, and he still thinks that he can fill the treasury with silver, and we also take 10,000 taels for two years, so it is also appropriate to help the second brother. ”

"I can understand your feelings, but it depends on whether the second brother has what you can do."

An Wang Ye said: "Yes, he has a brick machine that burns red bricks, that is, a machine that can produce forty such large red bricks at a time, and a wine-making house, and the two of us agreed." It just so happened that there was a brick kiln on the minion's Zhuangzi. We didn't dare to speak because we were afraid of robbing my second brother's business. ”

"Drive the Rui Palace!"

Well, this emperor has also become an acute son.

Rui Wang's Mansion, Xiaoyao Palace. After Emperor Shunzhi, Prince An and Prince Xian tasted the new freezing point on the prince's mansion, the emperor sat on the temporary dragon chair, his face full of joy: "Unexpectedly, the descendants of our Aixin Jueluo family are really brothers in the war, and they are father and son soldiers." ”

The prince said: "Exactly, with their participation, the minister will have a companion." But the minister didn't dare to guarantee whether he could make money. ”

"Who can guarantee that? Let's do it first. If you don't make money, you will collect the stall. I still have a worry, if the fourth brother and Fu Shou make money, won't the other princes Chitose and the grandfathers of the country immediately come up? If you don't let them do it, you'll complain. The first sentence will say that they were raised by their stepmothers. In terms of precedence, I am the one who raised the mother behind. ”

Prince An and Prince Xian almost burst out laughing, and the emperor was not taboo at all.

The prince couldn't help but laugh and said, "I won't scold my mother, there must be complaints." Especially the grandfathers of the country, his status is low, he is already very inferior, and he is not rich with 10,000 taels of life, and he must be greedy to see others make money, if there is nothing for him to do, he will say that we are divided into three, six, nine and so on. minister

However, I bought a few kinds of equipment, all of which were small, and even if I made money, I wouldn't make a lot of money. ”

The emperor was happy: "Don't care about the size, it's good to have something, the royal brother is really a caring person." Let our brothers and nephews go into battle to fill the treasury with money, and it is not impossible to be promoted and promoted with special achievements. From Taizu to my three generations of emperors, there are still clear rewards and punishments, right? ”

Prince An said: "If this news is known by the grandfathers of the country, it will be strange if the head is not sharpened." Who doesn't run for a higher title? ”

"To have a higher title is to have higher achievements and contributions. Let's not talk about this first, fourth brother, you will bear the burden of burning bricks. Rest assured, I will give you a time to prepare and familiarize, and I am not in a hurry to ask you for money. Again, what you do is to fill the treasury with one or two pieces of silver, which is a contribution to the Qing Dynasty. I don't stipulate how much money you pay each year, so you can do it boldly, I will be rewarded for success, and I don't blame you for failure, victory or defeat on the battlefield is understandable, not to say that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, not to mention that none of you are businessmen." ”

Prince Xian smiled and said: "The emperor is really considerate of us, including the second uncle, no one is a material for business, and the slave is afraid of losing money, so he can't explain to you." ”

"You have earned and confessed to me, not to confess but to pay money, what did you lose and confess to me? Go to the city and cry by yourself, don't complain to me, I don't have to pay for it. ”

"You've got to make amends, right?"

"The beauty of thinking. It's the same with other grandfathers, don't be afraid to lose money if you want to do it. Seeing that it is not profitable, hurry up and cease fire, don't make a fuss, won't you lose less? ”

Prince An said: "The emperor also knows a little about business." ”

Tian Liang and Nalan had already found several other brick machines from the treasury. After debugging, it can be used. Perform for the emperor, don't say that we have a family to make weapons. The interest of the emperor and Ma Ping soared into the sky.

There was no electricity in the Qing Dynasty, and the generators that were bought did not dare to be used publicly. These brick machines were designed by Mr. Zhong, and they are mechanical and do not use electricity. It's not very big, forty bricks are molded at a time, and there are a lot of blank molds. When the time comes, one by one, they will take the blank mold out and send it to the brick kiln. The bricks that come out of the blank mold are very watery, square, and can be directly sent to the brick kiln for heating and firing, and the block is small, and it is golden red when it is fired out of the kiln, not big red or dark red. It is characterized by being light and easy to build. However, it is also said that there are three seven, five zero, two or four and other masonry methods.

Prince An took out a silver ticket with a face value of one thousand taels from his arms and handed it to the prince: "Brother, I'll give you this ticket." ”

The prince pushed the silver ticket back: "Fourth, why do you see the outside like this?" We are brothers from the same ancestral board, and we are all descendants of Aixin Jueluo, what do you and me share with each other? The red bricks were sold, part of the silver was handed over to the emperor, some were left as capital for reproduction, and some were given to those who worked hard and sold bricks. ”

"How's that going to work? You bought it from a long way away, and you have to take care of it along the way. I thought that you must not be able to buy this kind of household wealth for five hundred taels, so I will give you this number. Brother, don't I also have an annual salary of 10,000 taels? Like you, how can they strangle you? You must spend a lot of money outside for a year. Let's just say that those gifts to everyone are not things with less money. ”

The prince "suddenly realized": "Ha, you even paid me back the gift?" Know to buy more and come back like this. I said, fourth, there are many women, children, and subordinates in your house, and the cost must be greater than mine, so don't be humble to me. If you want to give it, you will give five hundred taels, and I will not take one thousand taels. ”

"How is this possible? Your machine is not blowing from the northwest wind either......"

"This is my father-in-law's antiques for money, not from my year."

"Then you still owe it to your father-in-law?"

"I'll talk about that later. Hurry up and put the ticket away. ”

"What's going on?" Prince An didn't care.

The emperor said: "The gifts that the second brother gave me are also worth a lot of silver, since he doesn't want it, won't you return it to him from somewhere else in the future?" If you have to give, it will be a raw point. ”

"Then listen to the emperor."

"Prince Xian, it's your turn." The emperor reminded Prince Xian.

"What's the nephew's deal? Aha, take the silver, get ready, this time it's also a thousand taels, second uncle, you don't have to give change. ”

Several people were amused by Prince Xian's wittiness.

The prince said: "You don't play treasure, hurry up and put it away, and it is serious to manage it well in the future." Your distillation pot is also ready, but the distillation pot is for making liquor, don't use it yet, just make wine, and learn the method from the Tian guard. When he went to the foreign land, he learned the use of these equipment, as well as some management knowledge. ”

"Brother Huang, the time you just came back and entered the palace, I was too embarrassed to ask more about the foreign land, and then you started to get busy. I really want to know the situation over there in detail, if it weren't for the heavenly opportunity, you would tell me about Prince He'an and Prince Xian? ”

"Tell me? In fact, Chen thinks that many places over there are not as good as our Daqing. At least the air and water are not as clean as ours here, when we first arrived there, we smelled an indescribable strange smell when we went out, and the people there didn't know it, maybe that's what he said? Entered the abalone shop......"

"Second uncle, people call it 'long-term abalone, don't smell its smell.'"

That's what it means. I don't care if I hear it every day. ”

"You said that there are 1.3 billion people there, and the territory is similar to our Qing Dynasty, so isn't it very crowded when you go to the streets?"

"The population density is huge. Our capital has a population of hundreds of thousands, and there are tens of millions. ”

The eyes of the emperor, Prince An, and Prince Xian all widened, looking incredible.

Prince An said: "The population is so dense, if you watch the lanterns on the Shangyuan Festival, wouldn't it be a trampling of people and horses?" ”

"I'll tell you in two steps, people don't watch the lights there on the Shangyuan Festival, and they don't pay much attention to the Shangyuan Festival. It is called the Lantern Festival, eat a few Lantern Festival, put a few firecrackers, and celebrate the festival. Let's talk about the stampede. People don't use horse-drawn cars there, and even in the countryside, horses are rarely used as a means of transportation. The worst are walk-behind tractors, and a little better are cargo cars, some big and some small. Cars in the city are buses and cars, vans. Trucks are not allowed to enter the city during the day. ”

The emperor was full of interest, and Prince An and Prince Xian also listened with their ears open. It's something they never knew.

"Brother Huang, wait a minute, I want to ask what the cars and buses you said look like?"

"The car you are talking about includes all vehicles, and the kind of cargo car you are talking about should be called a truck. There is a front car in front and a carriage in the back, and in the front of the car there is the driver's seat of the driver. The carriages are for stuff. The smallest truck can hold half a ton of goods, that is, a thousand catties, and the largest seems to be able to hold dozens of tons, and one ton is two thousand catties. ”

"Huh? How big is that? "Prince Xian's upper and lower gums are the most apart,

"The bus is to pull people, it seems to be able to pull forty or fifty people, there are seats inside, and there are pull rings in the carport where there are no seats, and those who don't have seats pull the pull rings to save them from falling. There are glass windows on the bus, you can see outside, it is not very far away, and if you don't want to walk, you can get on the bus and wait at the station. This kind of car is commonly used by ordinary people, and the ticket price is relatively low. There is also a type called sedan, which is very small, and even the driver can only seat five people. One is a seat, the other is bought by someone, and the other is a unit, which we call the yamen. The different levels of officials sit in different cars. ”

As soon as he heard this, Prince Xian became energetic: "Second uncle and second uncle, what kind of car does the emperor over there take?" Dragon car? ”

"There's no emperor over there." Shunzhi replied on his behalf.

"What do you mean? No emperor is not messed up? ”

The emperor began to show off his prophet: "Your second uncle said that there is no emperor over there, but there is a person in a high position, what is it called?" It's called the chairman, which means the main seat. ”

"Oh, what's that, what's the car?"

"This second uncle is not too clear, the cars there have license plates, Mercedes-Benz, BMW. It seems that the car in which the leader of the country is sitting is equipped with bulletproof glass, and when a stabbing shot comes, the bullet will collapse, and the security measures are also in place, and the security guard is equivalent to the imperial guard. I have heard people say that the minister at the level of the minister sits on the red flag, and the minister is equivalent to the book of our Qing Dynasty, the minister is the big red flag, and the vice minister is the small red flag. ”

The attention of the three people was quite concentrated, and they surrounded the prince in the middle. The eunuch didn't pay attention when he came to deliver tea, and the sound of "The emperor and the prince please use tea" scared the three of them into a rage.

"You want to scare me to death?" The fan in the emperor's hand slapped the little eunuch's head at once, and the little eunuch was so frightened that he quickly knelt down: "The emperor spares his life!" "Of course, this eunuch was brought by the emperor himself, where is he embarrassed to beat the eunuch in the prince's mansion?

"Okay, okay, you go down, next time I'll give the emperor a notice." The prince hurriedly stopped the emperor who was about to be angry.

"Huh!" The little eunuch wiped the cold sweat from his head and withdrew.

"Where did the royal brother go? This dead thing has scared my soul away. ”

Several people laughed.

"The minister is talking about the car over there. There are too many cars there, and when you cross the street, you have to walk from the bridge and the tunnel, or it will not flow at all, and the car will be like a river, who would dare to grab the road with the car? Even if there are traffic laws, there are often car accidents. The minister has seen a car accident with his own eyes, or a car hit, a woman was hit and flew high, fell to the ground motionless, did not know whether to live or die. ”

"What traffic laws are you talking about?"

"What the minister can know is that no matter the vehicle or the person, you have to pass on the right side, cross the intersection to see the traffic light, what day the car will go which way, and what single number, double number, the content is quite a lot, I can't remember."

"Excuse me, you said to go on the right side, right? Everyone walks on the right, and there is no one on the left, right? ”

The prince wanted to burst into laughter, but he knew that it was absolutely not, and laughing at the emperor was the crime of bullying the king. took a sip of tea and suppressed the itch in his throat, "Your Majesty, if you go from the Forbidden City to the minister's mansion, if you walk on the right side when you come, and then go back to the Forbidden City from the minister's mansion to the right, is it a position?" ”

"This ...... Wait for me to think about it. The emperor closed his eyes and pondered, and suddenly laughed: "Understood, understood!" Hahaha...... By the way, you said that you have to look at the traffic lights when crossing the intersection? ”

"The intersection is the most accident-prone place, if the vehicle, the crowd are the first to pass, then I don't know how many accidents will happen, the vehicles are made of steel, people are flesh and blood, even if you scrape a little bit will also be life-threatening, car collisions, car collisions are very scary, so cross the road to look at the lights. People crossing the road are not chaotic, to take the zebra crossing, that is, one by one white lines, when the red light is on, you can't go, when the green light is on, hurry up. ”

"That's a good rule, what if someone doesn't obey?"

"The situation you are talking about is called running a red light, and both people and cars will be caught by the traffic police, and they will be fined if they are caught. There are monitors on the telephone poles, and the vehicles have license plates, so you can't catch this intersection and can't run at the next intersection. “

"Wait, Imperial Brother, what you said is a bit confusing. If he runs at this intersection, won't he run from somewhere else? Why go to the next junction? ”

"There is no other road, the rest of the place is the lawn, the sidewalk, and the road, and the car can't walk on the sidewalk, let alone the lawn, and it will still be caught when the time comes."

"But who knows him at the next intersection?"

"People have monitors, and the car will take pictures when they come, what brand, how many license plate numbers, and what color, even from the capital to Baoding Mansion will also be caught. Besides, they still have walkie-talkies, dial the traffic policeman at the next traffic post, and the two of them can talk without seeing it: 'Hey, there is a car of what number and color that is going to your side, stop him.' Before they could get there, they set up barricades, and when they came, they were arrested. ”

"Hey, that's good. Why didn't you buy one? ”

"That thing can't play without electricity, and we don't have electricity in Daqing. It can't be produced. "The prince regretted talking about this, and even Prince An, a man in his thirties, became a curious baby.
