Chapter 28: The Night Bell Has Risen at First Hearing (3)

[I would like to tell you one thing, due to the sake of the family, from the 7th to the 11th, four days, only one change a day, please forgive me. But I'll make up for it when I come back, and the promise of 200,000 words this month remains unchanged. 】

"The puppet emperor of the Liao State really wants to be crowned the king of craftsmen?"

The staff in the hall were puzzled, envious, jealous, or sneering, and their reactions varied.

Everyone's attitude was in full view, and Lu Huiqing nodded, "It's true." ”

When Lu Huiqing received the news, he was not later than others, at first he thought it was a story adapted by the storyteller when he said "Nine Domains", and then in word of mouth, it turned into a rumor that shocked the world. It wasn't until a few days later that he learned that this was the case, and that Jelu Yixin spared no expense in the king's reward to recruit skilled craftsmen.

On the other hand, Lu Huiqing does not believe that the king of a country will ignore the gentleman, appoint villains, and put craftsmen above Confucianism.

However, in the face of a thief, the world can say that he has character, but not his vision. Especially under his rule, the power of the Great Liao is expanding day by day, destroying Goryeo, destroying Japan, and the country is prosperous.

The Liao State was able to expand on a large scale, relying on the advantages of the Jiajian army. And this qiē was learned from the Great Song Dynasty and learned from Han Gang's hands, even if Lu Huiqing has always been hostile to Han Gang, he has no shame to deny this.

But Yelu Yixin attaches so much importance to his old opponent, which makes Lu Huiqing's heart inevitably have a sour taste.

Twenty years ago, Han Gang was just a big measure, but now he is above the court.

The Qi science he advocated is also self-contained. Zhang Zai's qi science no longer exists, and what remains is only Han Gang's qi science. If you peel off the skin of Confucianism, the following is completely the learning of craftsmen and peasants, paying attention to skills and approaching Taoism, but abandoning all the fundamentals.

Leaving behind the impetuous staff, Lu Huiqing left the public hall and walked back to the backyard.

After calming down, Lu Huiqing didn't feel that Yelu Yixin's choice was wrong.

The Liao State has always abandoned Confucianism as if it were a disobedient one, and it has not heard that its state affairs have declined because of this. In the fifth season, someone had already shouted 'The Son of Heaven is a strong soldier and a strong horse'.

Whether it is the world or yesterday, it does not necessarily have to be Confucian.

Wenjing ruled the world, and it was Huang Laozhi who ruled the country, and the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism alone, and the household registration in the world was halved. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty said that the Han family system was 'the king was domineering and miscellaneous, so why not be purely moral, and use Zhou Zhenghu? ’

In the Later Han Dynasty, the diagram became a Confucian scholar, and today, if anyone in the Confucian forest advocates the study of the diagram, there is no place for it.

Nominally, Lu Huiqing is also one of the great Confucians in the world, and all new students learn from him, but in fact, he does not insist so much on Confucianism. The real Confucian scholar has long ceased to exist. Today's great Confucianism is all using the words of the sages to prove their own opinions, and when Confucius is resurrected, I am afraid that he will also be beaten into an outlier.

Confucianism has changed again and again for thousands of years, the day before yesterday it was a manifest study, and today it is a heresy, which is the real Confucianism?

On the other side of the second journey, it will be said that all the opinions are wrong, and it is better to exhaustively study moral life to understand its reasoning. Han Gang will say that the holy way is unreachable, and it needs to be constantly pursued, and it is becoming more and more new day by day in order to get close to the way of the saint, and how to recourse depends on the knowledge of things.

"Yelu Yixin, is this helping Han Gang?"

Lu Qiqing followed behind Lu Huiqing and asked puzzled.

Lu Huiqing shook his head, "Yelu Yixin will only hate Han San for immortality, what can he do to help him?" ”

"Is that a discordant plan, so that the court is wary of craftsmen...... Someone in the court will be deceived. ”

Lu Huiqing laughed when he heard this, his brother is used to whimsical and thinks too tortuously, where can anyone be so confused? Back then, Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao voted for the party and gained great wealth, which caused the hearts of the people in Shaanxi to fluctuate, but no one said that they would arrest and cut down the fallen scholars.

Now to control all the skilled craftsmen in the country, this is a great favor to the Liao State.

was continuously denied by Lu Huiqing, and Lu Qiqing didn't guess anymore, and followed Lu Huiqing, walked slowly, and asked, "I don't know what the imperial court will do?" Is it a bounty increase? ”

"Yelu Yixin dares to do it, because he is not afraid of people opposing him, and he can dispose of his own property as he wants. Han San just wants to give more benefits, and there will be people in the court who criticize him, and he can't give people court officials or ambassadors. ”

Lu Qiqing shook his head.

Mo said that Han Gang couldn't give it, even if he really took out the official position of promotion official and ambassador minister, he would definitely not be as good as a county king.

"And what does he do?"

"You don't have to do anything, when the Liao people come to the door, naturally no one will stop him anymore."

"Maybe this matter is as Han Gang wishes." Lu Qiqing said in a low voice, "Yelu Yixin is thousands of miles away, how did he know about the steam engine?" If it weren't for Han Gang, how many people would know about the steam engine. In doing so, Yelu Yixin may be in the midst of it. ”

"You're thinking too much."

"Maybe the younger brother is thinking too much. However, now that Han Gang's prestige is getting higher and his reputation is rising, if something happens in the future, he wants to be a pure minister, and the people below will not agree. ”

Lu Huiqing frowned: "Seventeen, be cautious!"

Lu Qiqing smiled, "But Shen Sheng died inside the house, and Heavy Ear was born outside." Although Han Gang was trusted by the Queen Mother, he inevitably offended the official family. Now that my brother has jumped out of the muddy water, as long as he waits for a few more years, he will naturally be able to return to the court. ”

Lu Huiqing shook his head, he wasn't too worried about his future.

Wang Anshi founded Jinling Academy in Jiangning Mansion, teaching and educating people every day, busy and unhappy. Most of the time, the internal affairs of Xinxue are handed over to Lu Huiqing.

Zhang Dian was reluctant to quote Wang Anshi's old henchmen, and he lived in harmony with Han Gang, so many people took refuge in Lu Huiqing. The attendants at the emperor's scripture banquet were half of Qi and half of Xinxue, and half of them were close to Lu Huiqing. Lu Huiqing was easily able to speak through those attendants and exert influence on the Son of Heaven.

When the Son of Heaven is in power, it will naturally be easier for the government to be in power, and how many courtiers can he choose to replace Han Gang at that time?

Of course, if the Queen Mother wants to be a chapter dedication, Han Gang can not be cheeky, and Lu Huiqing doesn't care about waiting a few more years.

"Let's not talk about it." Lu Huiqing didn't want to continue this topic, "You've been to Jinjiang to see it, how is the situation over there?" ”

"The younger brother had already gone to Jinjiang the day before yesterday to see it, but he only saw the silk reeling factory. Zhang's newly repaired silk reeling factory covers an area of nearly 30 acres, and hundreds of workers have been recruited to live in it, peeling cocoons, selecting cocoons, boiling cocoons, reeling silk, and finishing. The finished product should also be sampled and inspected, one by one, although the raw silk produced is not as good as the best in the past, but it is also in the high-quality, and the texture is uniform. Lu Qiqing leaned into Lu Huiqing's ear and said in a low voice, "The silk reeling machine is said to be ten times the same as the old machine, according to me, at least twenty times." It took a load of cocoons to be carried in, and it was gone in a blink of an eye. Although the Zhang family was reluctant to say it explicitly, according to the younger brother, such a factory, at the end of a day, there are not 500 quintals, but also 300 quintals. ”

But a worker has to stand in the steaming factory for five hours, constantly walking, and his fingers are constantly poking into the boiling water. Picking up the thread, so that the silk reeler's fingers will soon rot and his body will collapse. Lu Qiqing would not have told Lu Huiqing about such a thing.

Some time ago, the people at the front desk of the Lu family got the new silk reeling and weaving technology from the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce.

The hydraulic drive machine qì comes to reel the silk, but the reeling also needs hot water, which requires a boiler, and the textile needs power, which is hydraulic power. Combining these, the newly invented silk reeling machine is ten times more efficient than the old style of manual silk reeling. The efficiency of the textile machine has been increased by more than ten times.

Han Gang used the technique of weaving silk before, which made everyone's hearts itch. Later, on the condition of supporting Mongolian studies, the technology was transferred to the outside world. Of course, the money for the transfer of technology still has to be given. In order to study this technology, the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce paid a lot of money, and it should be given money.

When signing the contract, the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce gave the money a very strange name - authorization money - whoever gave the money authorized him to use new technology to produce silk, and only one in a county could be authorized.

And when signing the contract, both parties agreed that only the merchants who paid the authorization fee could use silk reeling machines and looms to produce silk. This is a patent right.

Lu Huiqing didn't think that Han Gang agreed on the patent right in order to sell the drawings a little more, otherwise he would never agree that only one in a county could be authorized. Although I don't know what Han Gang's idea is, no one will like competitors, and no one will like it, and what he has only gotten through with great effort and money has been easily copied by others. Now that there is an organization similar to a guild, it is much easier to solve such a problem.

There are 29 brothers in the Lu Huiqing clan, only seven of them are in the Jinshi, and the rest are some who go out as officials with the help of their family forces, some live in the countryside, and some go south and north. The dragon gives birth to nine sons, each of which is different, which is also the reason for it. Lu Qiqing has always been operating at home, and Lu Huiqing saw that he was fine, and felt that he had some talent, so he entrusted him with the establishment of the factory.

However, Lu Huiqing knew that his brother would always like to exaggerate when he spoke, saying that it was three or five hundred quintals, and the actual situation would probably be discounted in half, or even more. However, those merchants in the northwest said that it was ten times as many as the handicrafts of the people, which is indeed not lying.

"Now the Zhang family is only worried about the lack of silkworm cocoons, and they are anxious to take down more than a dozen mulberry gardens nearby, and wait for the next issue to collect cocoons."

In the past, when dealing in silk, it was generally purchased from the private sector that individuals weaved silk - that is, the so-called products of the ideal life of men and women weaving - at most, they purchased raw silk and saw weaving workshops at home. Now it's enough to buy cocoons. You can even buy silkworm cocoons without buying silkworm cocoons, buy mulberry gardens at home, use mulberry leaves to make an agreement with silkworm farmers to repay the debts with silkworm cocoons, and finally as long as you paste some small money, you can get all the benefits in your hands, and the risks are all left to silkworm households.

Lu Huiqing asked, "How is the situation in the weaving workshop at home?" ”

"The factory has been built, and the people over there have come to see it and said that there is no problem. When the machine is transported and assembled, people have to be brought in for training, and then tried for a period of time, and after making sure that a qiē is in good condition, it can be opened and closed. ”

Lu Huiqing nodded with satisfaction, and said, "But you also have to be careful, don't listen to everything, all rely on the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce, and sooner or later you will be trapped." You have to learn it yourself, and if you learn it well, you will know how to improve. ”

"Of course the little brother understands," Lu Qiqing suddenly laughed again, "just sell the hen that lays golden eggs, even if it sells the gold price, it will still be a loss." I really don't know what Han Xianggong thinks. ”

Lu Huiqing smiled slightly, "Since Han Gang has something in his heart, how can he not give up some of the benefits?!" ”
