Chapter 194: Trivia

Seeing off the two Sun and Xu, Yang Gai was happy and tired.

Today, I have gained a lot of money, not only science and religion, but also an academy of sciences, and two ways to make a fortune.

Wang Chengen looked at His Majesty the Emperor with a kind face, this emperor has really grown up, this behavior is becoming more and more incomprehensible, this insight has far surpassed him, what he does and what he says, he is basically confused, and he doesn't understand it very well, but seeing that Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi both appreciate the emperor very much, they know that this is not a bad thing.

"Your Majesty, do you want to take a break?" Wang Chengen looked at the emperor's tired demeanor and felt very distressed.

"Hehe, no need, big companion, I have gained a lot today, happy, happy!" Yang was tired and happy. Although he said that he didn't need to rest, he couldn't stop yawning and eyelids.

Yang Gai felt that he had not enough time and that he still had too many things to complete. I have to deal with everything by myself, and this is really tiring.

"Companion, by the way, prepare the experience of the elders in the cabinet for me, I want to see it." Yang Reform suddenly remembered one thing, his cabinet was very ineffective, and he could hardly help himself, otherwise, he would not be so tired.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen was very surprised, the emperor suddenly wanted to see the copywriting of the cabinet assistants? Doesn't this mean that the emperor has the heart to change the cabinet? Trendy and new, it seems that it is time to change.

"In addition, this one who makes magnifying glasses will set up a special field, no, this, I have other plans...... "Yang Reform is going to build an eyewear factory, but think about it, this thing, it is better for the Sun family brothers and sisters to do it, first, this glass is produced by them, and second, let them do it, their own interests can be maximized, if it is handed over to the eunuchs, it can be done, but it is inevitable to make a profit from it, and he does not have the spare time to fight corruption for the time being.

"In addition, tell the craftsmen of the internal officials and supervisors that my promise is still valid, and I have a great reward for those who can imitate the grandfather clock, and I have a great reward for those who can greatly reduce the size of the grandfather clock, and I have a great reward for carrying the clock in my hand, and I have a great gift to him, patents, money, and official positions, understand? Let's talk to the craftsmen of the internal officials and supervisors like this...... "Although Xu Guangqi is also preparing to study the table clock, Yang Reform decided not to relax his research, these things must have competition to be fast, what he lacks most is time, and he is even more short of money."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen agreed.

"Besides, when will this Man Gui arrive in Beijing?" Yang Reform is worried about this Mangui thing, Mangui enters Beijing, an important sign is to do it to the Mongols, the hands on the Mongols, followed by the Jin merchants, and then, the salt merchants, ......, and now the wild boar skin is probably also "cleaning up" the Mongols. Yang Gengai was going to wait for the wild boar skin to be cleaned up, and then he would clean it up again. Let the Mongolians know that the wild boar skin can clean you up, and my Ming Dynasty can also clean you up, so take it easy when you follow the wild boar skin. Mangui's entry into Beijing was also the beginning of his own armed trafficking, and this Mongolian business could not be done without the protection of the army and bodyguards.

"Back to Your Majesty, this edict has been going down for about twenty days, and it is estimated that there will be another ten days and half a month, it should be about the same, outside this pass, it is also a long way to here." Wang Chengen thought about it and reported a number.

Yang Reform made a silent calculation in his heart, and the holy decree went out for one or twenty days? Wait another day or two? This ancient traffic is really not good! This is simply the core of the Core 2, the accessories of the Pentium 2! Serious mismatch.

"One or twenty days left? So long? Yang Gai felt that this world was too long.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is already fast, this holy decree will be sent to Lord Man Guiman, it will take many days, the holy decree has arrived, and it is necessary to gather garrisons everywhere, pack up belongings, and arrange defense, so that we can rush to the Beijing Division, it is not easy." Wang Chengen helped Man Gui say a few words, the speed of the Ming Dynasty and the modern people, those are two concepts.

Yang Reform was speechless, this Mangui has not yet entered Kyoto, then Zhao Shujiao may have to wait, that Qin Liangyu is far away in Sichuan, I am afraid that this time will have to be calculated in years! Yang Reform burst into tears, this is too procrastinating, Yang Reform remembers, this from Guangzhou to Wuhan, take the high-speed rail, it only takes a few hours! If they are all transported by high-speed rail, it will not take twelve hours, and this Qin Liangyu's people and horses will appear in front of their eyes, this is really incomparable!

Yang Gai was speechless for a while, knowing that he was blind to the heart of King Qin's army. I stopped thinking about this thing and started thinking about other things.

"When will the textile craftsmen gathered from the south arrive in Beijing?" Yang Reform is still thinking about the textile craftsmen in the south, and he has already asked Sun Liniang to prepare to collect wool, but this textile craftsman has not yet arrived, and this textile machine has not been mentioned, which is related to a series of big moves in the north. I have to ask about it.

Wang Chengen was also confused by the emperor's question, and said: "Your Majesty, this matter, the slave maid thinks about it...... the slave maid has already ordered it to go down, and this Jiangnan weaving will definitely send the craftsman as quickly as possible,...... Oh...... I think about it, I'm afraid it's been more than a month, if the slave and maid estimate is right, this craftsman, I'm afraid it's on the road, this Jiangnan canal and waterway, it will be faster, estimated, there will be more than 20 days, I'm afraid it's coming. Although Wang Chengen's surname is far better than that of the emperor, he can't stand the emperor from asking one after another, and he still asks these little sesame things. Fortunately, Wang Chengen's surname is really good, and he soon remembered what the emperor said.

Twenty or so days? Yang Gai felt that the traffic of the Ming Dynasty was really hopeless, and he wanted to hurry up, but all this time was wasted on the road, no craftsmen, no textile machines, then he could only let Sun Liniang stock up the wool and cotton received, as for experimenting with textile technology, exploring how to make cloth with wool and the like, this, can only be said later.

Yang Gai shook his head, it's really not powerful!

"Are all those foreigners registered?" Yang asked again.

"Back to Your Majesty, did Your Majesty say those Yi people?" Wang Chengen asked.

"Well, yes, it's the same group of Yi people I met last time." This ancient name for foreigners is also different, and Yang Reform can only adapt.

"Back to Your Majesty, the slaves and maids have already asked them to make a book." Wang Chengen replied again.

"Well, very good, give the information to Master Sun, let him pick some from it, as a military instructor of the new army artillery battalion, specially responsible for teaching the new army how to fire artillery, remember to tell Master Sun, be sure to learn the skills of foreigners, not only to figure out how to accurately fire artillery, but also to figure out the principle, that is, to figure out the reason for this, in this way, leaving the foreigners, my Ming Dynasty will not catch the blind ......" Yang Reform assigned those hired Western artillery divisions. I remember that there are two shipbuilding experts inside, and they have been arranged separately, and most of the others are gunners or something, and now, all of them will be sent to Sun Chengzong, and let them bring the artillery battalion of the new army.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen is a little anxious today, the emperor has never issued so many holy decrees at one time, even if Wang Chengen's surname is very good, he is afraid of forgetting something. I started to get nervous.

Yang Gai said to himself regardless of it: "Well, let Sun Yuanhua start researching cannons, first send him 100,000 taels of silver, which is considered the cost of research, and in the same way, let him not only figure out how to make artillery, but also find out why it is, otherwise, without foreigners, our Ming Dynasty will not be able to build cannons again, understand?" In addition, choose two reliable, clever little eunuchs who are proficient in arithmetic to be his 'accountant', keep a record of the use of the money, and if necessary, choose some from the group of foreigners as assistants. ”

Yang Gai felt that he had not dealt with many things, and at once, he dealt with several things, one at a time. Although he was happy, this Wang Chengen was sweating for the first time by the emperor's decree, and this order was too much.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen quietly wiped the fine sweat on his forehead.

"Also, Otomo, prepare for me the location information of the salt fields I am having, well, Wen, I have a useful ......, no, forget it,...... Alas...... Let's prepare......" Yang Reform was confused, and remembered that now that the salt administration has been suspended, the layout of this salt farm, it's time, and you have to borrow ancient information. Just by a few random points of his own, it is a natural salt field, and this thing is really mysterious.

"Yes, Your Majesty ......" Wang Chengen began to wipe his sweat.

"What's the news from Mao Wenlong?" Yang Gengai asked again about something that didn't match the previous one.

"Also...... This one...... Forget it...... "Yang Reform is also ready to ask about this disaster relief, see how well the preparation is, the previous discussion is to transport grain to the northwest by water, and now I don't know how it is arranged, now, it is already May, this summer harvest is coming, when it comes to harvest, there is no grain in the field, this peasant rebellion, even if it is about to start, this time, is also anxious, Yang Reform feels, the signs of this rebellion, that is, between January and February, this is called Yang Reform how not to hurry? Yang Reform wanted to ask, seeing that Wang Chengen was sweating profusely, constantly wiping his forehead, remembering that he was confused today, and he had to give orders, it was really a little more, besides, this matter, it is useless to just ask Wang Chengen, this matter, I have to ask Xu Guangqi, and I have to ask the courtiers, this, it is really troublesome! Yang Reform also wiped his forehead, this is really a lot!

…… Yang Reform, who was in a daze, felt very upset in his heart.

"Big companion, go out of the palace." Yang Reform now wants to go out for a walk, this is related to the layout of the north, I have to be careful, once the north moves the Jin merchants, this will immediately sweep the whole country, one ring after another, there can be no mistakes, and his own silver is almost insufficient, recently, this silver, spent like flowing water. It's gone. A few million taels of silver! It's gone, and Yang Reform has to go out to see how his gold and silver mountains are doing.

Wang Chengen was not verbose, and immediately helped the emperor change his clothes.

Out of the palace, go straight to the glass factory.

Elder Shen Fu greeted him at the corner of the street early.

"Subordinates, see Childe." Shen Fuyuan did not kneel and bow, but simply bowed and hugged his fist, which can be regarded as a salute.

"Well, Shen Fuyuan, how is Liulizhai's business now? Can someone make trouble? Yang Gai saw from afar that the business of Liulizhai seemed to be very good, the door was like a market, and this store seemed to have expanded a lot, decorated with a new decoration, dressed in red and hung colors, and dressed up very magnificently.

Shen Fuyuan has always been dressed as a "folk person", no different from the one who walks in the dart nursing home. Mixed in the crowd, there was also the shadow of a Jinyi Wei Qianhu.

"Hui Gongzi, how is this business, I have to ask Miss Sun, the little one doesn't dare to talk much, hehe...... Childe, it's been very peaceful lately, and there is no one who doesn't have long eyes to come over and make trouble. Shen Fuyuan didn't dare to talk casually, the emperor and the mother should talk about things, but just reported what he had to do.

Yang Gai nodded and said, "It's good that no one makes trouble, looking at this business, it seems to be good!" You've got to pay attention to the glassworks, don't stay here all day and have people copy the nest, you know? Yang Gengai remembered that there were a few big officials who were ready to seize their own industries, but they were brought home by themselves, presumably after this incident, everyone knew that the backstage of this store was very hard, and no one dared to come over to make trouble. Yang Gai felt that this brocade guard was still very powerful as his own commercial bodyguard.

Shen Fuyuan was taken aback by what the emperor said, thinking that the emperor blamed him for only enjoying the prosperity and ignoring the things on the factory side, so he was so frightened that he immediately said: "Back to Gongzi, the small one will never dare to miss the big thing of the child, the factory side, but there are several teams of fans watching, and the small one has to go there every day to see it, and he will never miss the big thing of the child." Shen Fuyuan hurriedly explained.

"Well, yes, you're still too young now, work hard for a while, and when you're older and more experienced, I'll find you a new errand, and I won't let you do this all the time, don't worry." Yang Gai knew the important surname of this guy, at the beginning, he couldn't stop giving him sweetness and winning his heart, and now this glass is selling well, and it is even more important to envelop him, if no one looks at this gold and silver mountain, then the loss will be big.

Shen Fuyuan is only in his twenties, that is, the thousand households of Jinyiwei, of course, this is related to hereditary, however, it is quite difficult to be promoted at this age, and it is basically impossible, because they are all hereditary, if you are promoted, others will not need to be hereditary, and those positions that do not use hereditary are really limited, not the emperor's cronies, not the ministers of the court, Shen Fuyuan's eyes were red at the moment, and said: "The little one must follow the son to the death, do not mistake the son's affairs, and do a good ......job for the son" Shen Fuyuan cried on his face, but his heart was very sweet, With the emperor's promise, he will definitely be prosperous. The higher and higher it goes, of course, the official position of this Jinyi Wei Qianhu is also very good. Now this woman who protects the emperor, the emperor's industry, this matter is also very good, at least there is no one who dares to provoke herself, that is, her own top boss, and she has to be polite to herself. Shen Fuyuan missed this position a little bit again.

"Shen Fuyuan, if this son goes in by himself, you don't have to follow in, otherwise, as soon as you go in, others will inevitably guess the identity of this son when they see you following behind this son, understand?" When he was about to walk to the door, Yang Gengai sounded like there were many people inside, and remembered that he couldn't go in with this bodyguard leader of Liulizhai, otherwise, what would others think and think? Many people know Shen Fuyuan's details.

Shen Fuyuan understood what the emperor meant, and said, "Obey, Your Majesty." ”

After speaking, this is into the glass Zhai, this, the decoration is magnificent, as the signboard of this store, glass and mirrors, there are everywhere, more exaggerated is that there are two mirrors more than one person high, with a big red flower on the head, placed in the lobby, become the signboard of this store, it can be said that it is very magnificent, and it is also very lively.

I only heard shouting inside: "Little shopkeeper, you should invite your big shopkeeper out!" We've been waiting for more than an hour. ”

A young man in the store replied shyly: "This master, this small thing can't be the master, our big shopkeeper's nap went, and he hasn't woken up yet, the small one doesn't dare to disturb the rest of the big shopkeeper, and the little one still wants to eat this dinner, you have to take care of it." ”

The person who was shouting just now saw the excuse of the guy in the store, and he couldn't help it, sighed, and continued to sit on the chair and drink tea.

Yang Reform took a look, in this shop, there are several people sitting, and many are standing, sitting and drinking tea, most of them don't talk much, and those who are standing are talking about something in a low voice, seeing Yang Reform and his party coming in, they all stared at it with their eyes, and saw Yang Reform dressed up, and his appearance was not bad, and the style of this group of people was not small, knowing that this person's origin was not small, they all looked sideways. However, the people here are also extraordinary, with a background, although a few side glances, however, did not cause much sensation, they all thought that it was another person who planned to buy goods from here to find a way, the people in it, the tea should be drunk, the discussion should be discussed.

As soon as the guys in the store saw Yang Reform coming, they immediately greeted him warmly and welcomed Yang Reform into the back room. At this time, there was a burst of exclamations in the store, and they all guessed which character this was, so powerful, in this Liuli Zhai, you can get such treatment, and you can actually go to the back room,...... Although many people have complaints, thinking that this guy is unruly, should be divided into a first come, first come, first come, second, but, here, is a more status, than the backstage place, if you suspect that the family does not entertain you, you can go, no one begs you, however, no one and silver can't get by, now this glass sales are so hot, anyone wants to get a dip, if you want to use what official position to press here, there is already a waiter very neat to get out, some people who hit the idea here, even more inexplicably disappeared, making people even more concerned about the backstage here, do things, or take it easy.

Yang Reform didn't care about the strange gaze behind him, turned a few times, and arrived in front of Sun Liniang's boudoir.

The shopkeeper brought Yang Reform here, and then stopped walking forward, and said with a smile: "Childe, Miss Sun is upstairs, and she is probably taking a nap." ”

"Oh, nap?" Yang Reform looked at the sky, it's not early, and you still take a nap? Without further ado, he went upstairs.

The door was open, and with a slight push, it opened, Yang Reform originally thought that there could be a Begonia Spring Sleep or something, but found that Sun Liniang was dressing up in front of the dressing mirror, and when she saw someone coming in, she was about to scold, and when she saw that it was Yang Reform who came in, she immediately changed her smile and said, "Childe is here." ”

"Well, here we are." Yang Gai turned around and closed the door.
