Chapter 535: Winter is coming
Another example is the conscription system of the Great Jin Dynasty. If you were asked whether the current system of forced labor is justified, what would you think about it? If you don't know about the system in this area, you will also be blind.
Wuhuai Temple is the official book, and the information in this area is incomparable to others. Judging from his information, at least she won't drop the chain in this regard.
Gong Cheng can understand the existing productive forces of the Great Jin Dynasty, and Wu Zong can understand the criminal law and laws of the Great Jin Dynasty.
In short, with the help of the information of the three senior brothers, plus the information sent by Xiao Lingyan and the eldest princess of Shangde, it should be no problem for her to cope with the exam.
A few days later, Kang Shilin asked someone to pull half a cart of books and articles to Zhao Ruxi in a horse-drawn carriage. This battle alarmed the people of Suiping Bofu.
Watching the stacks of books of his subordinates move to the bamboo cultivation courtyard, Zhu grabbed Zhao Ruxi, who was busy commanding his subordinates: "What's the matter?" β
"I had to read some books to participate in the exam, and the senior brothers helped me collect these, so that I could understand the policies and laws of the Great Jin Dynasty in all aspects."
Zhao Ruxi said, and asked Zhu for help: "Mother, these books and articles are too valuable, and they can't be put directly underground." I can't fit the bookshelves there. You have someone go to the storeroom to see if there are any bookshelves, and if they don't, I'll have to get some. β
Zhu Shi reacted and said continuously: "Yes, yes." He turned his head and instructed Mama Ruan, "Take someone to move the bookshelves, and move as many as the girl wants." If it is not enough, ask someone to make it for the girl. β
Suiping Bofu was born in a family of military generals, not a scholarly family. There are bookshelves, but there aren't many. Even if they all moved, there would only be five or six. That's why Zhu said this.
Looking back, she looked at Zhao Ruxi with a complicated expression: "How can you take the exam and read so many old books?" β
She thought that taking the exam was nothing more than writing an article. I didn't expect to read so many books.
Thinking about her makes her feel distressed. That's tiring.
Zhao Ruxi said the problem he was facing.
Zhu sighed: "Your master and brother are too good to you. No matter what happens in the future, you must also remember their kindness. β
"Mother, I know."
"Don't be tired, take it easy, your body is the most important."
"It's okay, mother, I'll just read these books and articles to understand the situation, and I don't have to memorize them all. Anyway, there is still half a year, enough for me to watch, and I won't be tired. Without these books, I don't know what I'm going to do next. β
Zhu nodded.
"Hey, why didn't they move to Xiuzhu Academy? Where did you put the book? Zhu found out that something was wrong again.
"This Guanwu Hall is not used now, I have asked Mama Ruan, except for the tables and chairs in the room, they are all empty. I put the book there. These books are precious, and I will have to return them to my brothers when I finish them. The opportunity is rare, and I plan to let Brother Chongwen and Brother Jing'an both come to read the book. It is placed in the outer courtyard, and it is easier for them to enter and exit. I'm going to see it, and then move some back to the bamboo temple. Zhao Ruxi said.
Usually, Zhao Jingli asked her for advice, and often went in and out of the bamboo cultivation institute. But she and Zhao Jingli are cousins.
She and Xu Chongwen are emotionally close, the two are not related by blood, and Xu Chongwen is still a foreign man here. If he goes in and out of the bamboo academy all day to read, it will inevitably make people gossip. The yard where he lives has people coming and going all day long, and Zhao Ruxi also feels very inconvenient.
So she simply put all these books in the outer courtyard.
Anyway, she has to move her body every day, come out and carry a few books, and put them back after reading them, and she doesn't feel very troublesome.
Zhu sighed again: "It's still thoughtful." I don't blame everyone for being nice to you, it's you who are good to others first. β
When they have the opportunity, they think of Xu Chongwen and Zhao Jing'an, and they will be very grateful to Zhao Ruxi.
Think about Zhao Ruxi's three senior brothers again, if there is no safe, everyone thinks that they have taken advantage of Zhao Ruxi, even if they help in front of the master in this kind of thing, how can they do their best? It can be seen that people are mutual. If you are good to others, others will be good to you. Vice versa.
In the following days, Zhao Ruxi was like a mouse falling into a rice tank, and he was very happy to read a book.
She has been busy making money since the crossing. Now that Xiao Lingyan doesn't have to develop new money-making projects, she is idle. She didn't seem to have much to worry about other than trying.
In the original project, because the printing press and clocks were to be shipped from the south as imported goods, Zhao Ruxi had already delivered them directly to Xiao Lingyan, asking him to find someone to make these two things in the south, so that they did not have to be transported over and over, not to mention the increased cost, and it was easy to be exposed.
As for the jadeite jewelry that is popular in the market, Zhao Ruxi has already asked someone to open a small part of that batch of rough stones and hand it over to Xiao Lingyan, whether he is transported to the south for carving or directly processed in secret somewhere in the capital, it is none of her business.
Scarcity is expensive. Even though she had shipped several boatloads of rough stones, she still kept the amount to a small limit. Don't let the jadeite flood and depreciate. In this way, the price is not only raised, but also the risk is controlled. So she doesn't open much rough stones, so she doesn't have to worry about this aspect at all.
In addition, the safe and the spinning machine are in partnership with the emperor, and they are completely on the bright road.
The silver building she opened sells ordinary gold, silver, pearl and jade jewelry, and occasionally some jade jewelry, which is also claimed to come in from the south, but only small pieces of jadeite such as gold inlaid jadeite or ring face, and even jade bracelets are rarely sold. Such a silver building is not conspicuous in the capital.
These businesses are all in the open, the management is very mature, and with Zhou Chun and Ma Sheng watching, Zhao Ruxi basically doesn't need her to bother anymore except for looking at the accounts at the end of the month.
The two Zhuangzi also embarked on their own tracks, so she didn't have to worry about it much.
So Zhao Ruxi was able to stay at home and read and write articles with peace of mind, and when he was tired, he painted, practiced calligraphy, and earned some points. When she was bored, she would go to Kangfu to meet and chat with her master and brothers. Xiao Ruotong, Xu Xue, and Mu Qingqiang would occasionally come over to see her.
The quiet time passed especially quickly, autumn passed in the blink of an eye, and when the first snow fell over the capital, it heralded the arrival of winter this year.
At dinner that day, Zhao Yuanxun's expression was not as relaxed and happy as before.
"Alas, the capital is fine. The temperature in the north plummeted, and I heard that a large number of cattle and sheep died outside the gate. This winter, I am afraid that the border will not be peaceful. He sighed to Zhao Ruxi.
Zhao Ruxi asked Zhao Yuanxun to tell her about anything in the court on the grounds that he needed to participate in the exam, and Zhao Yuanxun developed the habit of talking about political affairs with his daughter at the dinner table.
Zhao Ruxi's mutton hand was stunned, and his face became solemn.
It seems that the first coup d'Γ©tat has slowly begun.
