Lin Jin came to Wu Jiugong and saw him lying on a rocking chair basking in the sun, and there was a small table next to the rocking chair, on which were tea fruits and a stack of papers, with a leisurely appearance, and teased: "You are so leisurely." ”

Wu Jiugong pointed to the chair beside him, motioned for her to sit down, and sighed with a smile: "You didn't see it when I was so busy, it was rare to steal half a day of leisure, and you saw it." ”

"Hey, what is it that I finally stole half a day of leisure, you don't blush when you say this, I don't know how many times you've been here, every time you come, anyway, you have more free time and less busy time." While complaining, Lin Jin handed him a few drawings of the textile machine.

Wu Jiugong, who was originally lying on his back in the rocking chair, sat up suddenly, looked at the textile machine in his hand that was very detailed, and could be made according to the size on it, frowned, and complained: "Why do these textile machines need to be pushed by water power?" ”

Lin Jin glanced at him angrily, and reached out to pull the drawings in his hand, "If you dislike it, if you dislike it, give it back to me." ”

Wu Jiugong hurriedly dodged and said with a smile: "No, no, how dare I dislike it, I just said it casually." ”

In fact, Lin Jin didn't have a textile machine that didn't need to be pushed by water, better than what she came up with, and it could be made with the technical level of this world, but after thinking about it again, she didn't take it out.

It's not that she wants to make any technological progress, but because once the high-efficiency and high-speed loom is expanded, it will be a great damage to the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy that only has one or two looms at home, relying on daily weaving to support their families or subsidize their families. Therefore, although the textile machine drawings she took out are advanced, there are restrictions in terms of power, coupled with sea trade, in this way, the impact of the new textile machine on the lives of the people at the bottom should be minimized.

For the sake of those low-level people, Lin Jin added another layer of insurance. "After these new machines are made, they will be used in Luzon, and Daqin will not change them to new machines first."

Wu Jiugong didn't know the twists and turns in Lin Jin's heart, thinking that it was out of the principle of confidentiality, and said without thinking: "No problem." Daqin does not have Luzon insurance here, if it is used here, within a year, not to mention Yangzhou City, I am afraid that the entire Jiangnan new machine will be used. ”

He put away the drawings, and took out an official document from the imperial court from the small table next to him and gave it to her: "Oh, this is the list of reinstated members of the imperial court, you can take a look." ”

Lin Jin thought that she was Jia Yucun and Daiyu who were sent away in the second half of last year, and couldn't help frowning, and said: "The list of the old members of the imperial court will only be obtained by the son, why is the speed of the Chamber of Commerce so slow to deliver the news?" ”

Wu Jiugong glanced at her, saw that she looked serious, not joking, and retorted: "Where is it slow, you look at the days above, it only took half a month to pass from Beijing to us." Although the imperial court's report has been issued, it is estimated that your father has not received it yet, and we have already received it, why is it slow? ”

In her impression, it seems that after Jia Yucun sent Daiyu to Jiafu, she quickly found a position in Jinling Yingtianfu, so she thought that this matter had been done a year ago, but she didn't expect it to be decided until now, and couldn't help but say: "The news of the restoration of the old members of the imperial court is almost in September of the previous year, why is it only finished now, it's really grinding!" ”

Wu Jiugong smiled: "Still slow? That's fast enough. You must know that although the imperial court has reinstated the old members, but compared to the number of officials who have lost their official positions and dismissed, the vacant positions in the imperial court are obviously not enough, and there are more monks and fewer porridge...... In short, it is a contest of all aspects. Among the ministers of the DPRK and China, who do not have relatives and friends, who do not have a few candidates in their pockets, and who do not want their influence in the DPRK and China to become greater,...... Therefore, the reinstatement of the old members is not only for those who want to reincarnate, but also for the dismissed officials, but also for the courtiers.

What's more, in addition to those old officials and courtiers, the emperor and the present are still fighting. Although after he ascended the throne, he opened Enke to take scholars, but even if the newly promoted jinshi is talented, he cannot be promoted beyond the ranks, so in the court, there are not only many high-powered ministers on the side of today, but even there are few middle-level officials.

In order to change this situation, the matter of reviving the old staff has been made. Although these old members were selected by the emperor back then, most of them were also officials who were lost under the emperor, so even if they don't miss the kindness of today, they may not stand on the emperor's side. Although it is only neutral, it is good for Imajo to maintain a neutral position compared to the mid-level officials who stand on the emperor's side. Because, in this case, there will be at least a few fewer officials in the court who speak for the emperor.

Moreover, there is also the Spring Festival during this period, and there is about a month before and after the New Year, and the various departments in the court are sealed and sealed, and they are not working, so there is a delay of another month, and after several games, the list can be set now, which should be said to be fast enough. ”

In fact, Wu Jiugong, who is not in the court, doesn't know that the reason why the old members are restored today and the newcomers are not directly used, in addition to the fact that the newcomers are not too good to be promoted even if they are talented, but because although he is now the emperor, he has been crushed by the emperor in any aspect, so even if he wants to expand his camp, he must be cautious, and he must not make the emperor unhappy, lest he really make a joke of "abolishing the emperor", so the revival of the old members, even if the emperor is displeased, is also limited, and will not make the relationship between their father and son stiff.

Hearing what he said, Lin Jin calculated the time, Daiyu left home in autumn, and when she arrived at Jia's house, it was already winter. Along the way, it took a long time, so he smiled: "So, Jia Yucun is quite lucky, this time is full of coincidence." Otherwise, the main purpose of his trip to Beijing was to seek recovery, and it would not be bad if he missed the time to recover because he delayed the trip with my sister. ”

Wu Jiugong corrected: "Wrong, you got the point wrong." Jia Yucun's main purpose in going to Beijing this time is not to seek revenge, but to send your sister to Rongguo Mansion safely. As long as he sends your sister to Rongguo Mansion safely, even if he misses the matter of reinstating the old members of the court, your father will not let him run away in vain. In the officialdom, as long as there are backers and connections, if he wants to reinstate, even if there is no news of the restoration of the old members in the court, it is not difficult for him to be an official again. If he still doesn't understand this truth, then he won't be an official anymore, and he will just go home and farm. ”

He was not wrong. Under normal circumstances, leaving Weiyang, all the way north, to the capital, about more than 2,000 miles. If it is a dry road, it will take more than a month to walk calmly, but if you take the water road, it will take about two months to leave in autumn. The reason why the waterway takes a long time is because the water level drops in autumn, so there are many narrow rivers in some sections, and even if Jia Yucun and his party are official boats, they can't keep the speed all the time.

In addition, it is impossible to have a smooth ride on the road, and when the boat is sailing against the wind and current, even if there is a slender man pulling the boat on the shore, the speed of the boat is not high; What's more, if the headwind is too strong, for the sake of safety, the boat must dock and wait for the wind to subside before leaving; Sometimes when the gate is opened to release water, it will delay the trip for a few days.

Daiyu and their group were slower than normal, and it took more than three months on the road, nearly four months, not because there was something on the road that delayed the trip, but because Jia Yucun took into account her body.

Although he couldn't wait to fly to the capital immediately and hurry up to do the revenge, he knew that he didn't look at Lin Ruhai who had already written him a letter of recommendation, and he was also confident that he could win the favor of the two male masters of the Jia family, but if he couldn't send Daiyu to the Jia family intact, he still didn't think about the revenge. Even if he doesn't rely on the Jia family and takes other ways to successfully recover, the Jia family and the Lin family, no matter which one can drag him down.

has been Daiyu's teacher for several years, Jia Yucun knows the physical condition of this female student of her own, and this time she left home to go to the capital, far away from her relatives, and her mood is obviously not very good, so in order to let Daiyu calm down and not get sick on the way, you must know that once you get sick on the way, you may not be able to find a doctor in time, and what will happen at that time is not easy to predict. Therefore, he tried to slow down the trip as much as possible, and everything was based on Daiyu's body. Under his all-round care, Daiyu arrived in the capital safely and unharmed.

Because this court revival is a game between the emperor and the emperor, Lin Jin couldn't help but think of the fact that the emperor gave the throne to the six princes, and couldn't help complaining: "It is said that the emperor's accession to the throne is a major event celebrated by the whole world, but our current emperor's enthronement is too small." At that time, it was better to catch up with my family's filial piety, and it was not as big as the day when my wife took off her filial piety. ”

Wu Jiugong smiled: "Then what do you think is the big move?" Throughout the ages, the new emperor's ascension to the throne was after the death of the previous emperor, although there were so many emperors in history, but they were all forced to be helpless, not out of their own volition like the emperor. But even if it is voluntary, for an emperor, abdication is not a happy thing, so the emperor will naturally not celebrate in order to show the filial piety of his father and son. ”

"Shhhh Do you need to act like this, it's not too tired. Lin Jin obviously disagreed with his words, and secretly complained in his heart, maybe it wasn't that the emperor didn't want to make a big move, but that he had no money, so he could only ascend the throne so shabbyly. She didn't know that her complaint really guessed part of the reason.
