Chapter Twenty-Four: The Strength of the Calendar

At this time, Qianlong couldn't control it anymore, snorted, flicked his sleeves and turned his head to leave; Hearing from afar that he seemed to be giving orders to the guards around him, Bai Zhen with golden claws and iron hooks then took the opportunity to support Qianlong and glanced at Chen Jialuo, as if his eyes were burning, as if he wanted to engrave his face in his mind.

Chen Jialuo didn't care, and he didn't leave in a hurry, and continued to sit down cross-legged and play the guqin, first "Thousand Cherry Blossoms", and then "Song of Throwing Onions", the sound of the piano was agitated, and the birds in the forest were shocked to cry continuously, and the song was not over, and the birds and beasts in the forest ran clean in the past three days.

Estimating that the time was almost up, Chen Jialuo picked up the guqin and walked slowly down the mountain, and when he reached the bottom of the mountain, a thin old man at the intersection had his back to him and blocked the way; Hearing Chen Jialuo's footsteps approaching, the old man turned around, "Boy, do you want to leave if you offend my master?" I see that you are also a person with martial arts, and you have a few tricks with the old man! ”

"I didn't expect that Bai Zhen, who was famous for his golden claws and iron hooks thirty years ago, made a dog's leg, and I don't know how the predecessors of the Songyang Sect felt when they saw it in the Spirit of Heaven." , this Bai Zhen became famous for his strong eagle claws thirty years ago.

"Presumptuous, what is the identity of my master, Bai Mou's work under his old man is a blessing from Sansheng cultivation, don't talk nonsense, let the horse come!" After that, Bai Zhen stretched out his right hand and formed five fingers into a hook, faintly covering several important points on Chen Jialuo's upper body.

"Wait!" , Chen Jialuo took a step back slightly, and in an instant, he was out of the scope of Bai Zhen's claw force, "I still have something to consult Master Bai, and it's not too late to fight when I finish asking!" ”

"What else do you have to say? If I apologize to my contemptible master, my master is magnanimous and has a heart of love, compared to the reward of high-ranking officials! At the beginning, Qianlong had a good impression of Chen Jialuo, and Bai Zhen didn't want to do it immediately, if he could persuade Chen Jialuo to apologize to Qianlong, it would be great.

"I'm just telling the truth, so why apologize?" Seeing Bai Zhen's brows tightened, Chen Jialuo hurriedly asked, "My question is about your Songyang faction, I heard that there is a senior in the Songyang faction named Guo Songyang, who is good at using an iron sword, and in terms of swordsmanship alone, there is no opponent in the rivers and lakes, I don't know if Master Bai has heard of it?" ”

"My Songyang faction has always been known for its strong eagle claw skills, but no one has ever been good at swordsmanship, I'm afraid you heard it wrong, right?" , Bai Zhen replied with a frown.

"It's good if you don't have it, it's good if you don't have As soon as the words fell, Chen Jialuo hugged the guqin with both hands and covered his head and face, "If you don't have it, then do it!" Master Bai takes over! ”

"The rats dare to sneak attack!" , Bai Zhen was at a loss by him, and subconsciously stretched out his claws to smash the guqin, and when the tip of the claws was about to touch the body of the piano, he remembered that this was the master's favorite thing, although it had been given away, but it was not good to be damaged by himself after all, so he hurriedly changed his tricks, and his body suddenly stagnated.

Leaning back on an iron plate bridge to avoid the guqin smashed by Chen Jialuo, he was just about to get up but was hit by Chen Jialuo's palm on the chest, the internal force contained in this palm was extremely strong, he only felt that his chest was numb, and he lay on the ground and couldn't move; Thinking that he had few opponents in the past thirty years, and was knocked to the ground by this young man with just one move today, Bai Zhen's old face was about to drip blood.

Hey, my dream is not to be a hero, so I will pose and wait for you to come? Chen Jialuo smiled, hugged the guqin and floated away, he didn't meet other guards along the way, it is estimated that Bai Zhen was confident in his martial arts and came to intercept it alone, but he didn't expect to make a mistake, and I don't know how he would explain to Qianlong after he went back.

Back in Ma Shanjun's courtyard, Chen Jialuo calculated the harvest of this meeting with Qianlong, first of all, judging from his playing the piano and singing, it proves that this person loves vassal elegance, but lacks self-knowledge, which should be because he is used to being touted; In his many face-to-face sarcasm, he can still suppress his anger, indicating that there are still some cities; But then the response fell into a small family, if he turned his face and let the guards take him, it can also show that he has some blood type, if he ignores it, it seems that this person is thoughtful, but he chose the worst way to deal with it, suppressed his anger in advance and secretly found trouble after the fact, neither enough to be black and generous enough, limited and lack of blood, I am afraid that I will not be able to make the right response when I encounter major choices in the future, it seems that the Qing Dynasty has not been unreasonable since the Qianlong period began to decline from prosperity to decline, In this way, Chen Jialuo has more confidence in the success of the rebellion.

"Chief helmsman, this is the expanded charter of the silk village that I have sorted out in the past two days, and I would like to ask the chief helmsman to take a look!" , Ma Shanjun's eyes were bloodshot, and it seemed that he hadn't rested well in the past two days.

"The helmsman has worked hard, please take a seat!" , Chen Jialuo hurriedly got up and beckoned Ma Shanjun to sit down, for him, Ma Shanke, who has outstanding business ability, is much more useful than those martial arts masters who can only fight; After receiving the charter handed over by Ma Shanjun, Chen Jialuo looked at it carefully, this charter still took a lot of thought, how to acquire silkworm cocoons, how to recruit weavers, how to open up relationships, how to sell are clearly written, but it is still far from the effect that Chen Jialuo wants, according to this charter, at most it is just a relatively large handicraft workshop, which is far from enough for him, what he wants is a modern factory, using more advanced machines and exceeding the scale of peers to reduce costs, The impact on the textile market in Suzhou and Hangzhou, which has gradually declined, on the one hand, can provide abundant funds for the Safflower Society, on the other hand, a large number of unemployed workers brought about by the closure of a large number of handicraft workshops are social unrest factors, and the slightest agitation in this Jiangsu and Zhejiang area is not very peaceful; Jiangsu and Zhejiang were important sources of taxes for the Qing court, and the instability here was a big blow to the Qing court.

After reading it, Chen Jialuo put the charter on the table, "The charter of the horse helm master is an eye-opener for the younger brother, I didn't know that there are so many doorways in this silk industry, and the horse helm master can be called Tao Zhu's talent!" After praising Ma Shanjun a few words, Chen Jialuo continued, "However, the younger brother also has some immature ideas here, and I also ask the master of Ma Helm to take a closer look." Then Chen Jialuo described the operation process of the British sweat textile factory in detail according to his memory.

Ma Shanjun didn't care at first, but the more he listened to it, the more cold sweat on his head became, if the chief helmsman in front of him also ran a silk village, I am afraid that his family business would have been collapsed a long time ago, "Chief helmsman, if you continue to do it according to this charter, I am afraid that there will be no more silk villages left in Suzhou and Hangzhou!" ”

Thanks to Cang Qianqing's 588 reward, there are 23 now, and it will be in the top 20 soon, and it will be more than that.
