Seeing Fu Zhenyu's frowns, Gu Yongyan's little servant Bai Mo thought that she was worried that Cang Zijian would suffer, so she hurriedly said: "When the little one came over, Wang Ge Lao was already the first assistant. Hou Ye said that no matter how the Li family's case is judged, Mr. Cang's life is worry-free. ”

"Hmm."

Fu Zhenyu responded casually.

What the senior brother is doing now is similar to what she did two years ago. Two years ago, she took advantage of the discord between Mrs. Gu and her husband to coax Mrs. Gu to be happy, and in addition to the protection of the prefect, the women's school also opened ahead of schedule because of Mrs. Gu.

The difference is that although she is coaxing Mrs. Gu, she is also sincere. Senior brother, no matter what, the fall of the Li family came from the hands of Emperor Tongqing after all. The elder brother who is not considered to be an atmospheric man, but he has a useful strategy for the emperor, and there must be something greasy here.

is greasy, which means that the elder brother is seeking skin with the tiger.

For the first time, Fu Zhenyu felt that her psychological quality was not enough, at least, others told her to be stable, and her tinkling heart was still hanging in the air. Fu Zhenyu's personality will definitely not let this issue be put on hold.

To face and avoid war, you always have to choose one or the other.

Bai Mo brought more news, but Fu Zhenyu had no intention of preparing a lesson plan. learned that Gu Yongyan and Mrs. Fang had prepared gifts for Fan Ming, so they simply took Bai Mo to the women's school. Bai Mo saw Fan Ming, and Fu Zhenyu went to see Li Yun, who was helping there.

"Sister, tell me about officialdom. In the future, you will have to adapt. ”

Li Yun immediately understood, and told her about what the Li family had encountered.

In the Qing Dynasty, there are no fish, and the Li family is not so clean. The key is how to fish in troubled waters. The two of them were talking about the rise, and Fan Ming broke through the door: "Sister Fu, I made it!" ”

had no head and no brain, but Fu Zhenyu smiled, and left behind the danger of Cangzijian and the glory given to her by Governor Zhang.

"Let's go, take me there."

"That's what I told you to see."

Fan Ming was proud, dragged Fu Zhenyu to her workshop, pointed to the miniature version of the jacquard machine, and showed off: "This is the jacquard machine I made!" ”

With an order, the three women did a good job separately, divided the line and cast the line, pulled up and down, and performed their duties. One after another, but with a cup of tea, a flower cloth was woven with a width and an inch in length.

Touching the flower cloth, Fu Zhenyu commented from a layman's point of view: "The quality of the cloth is about the same, the color should be exactly the same, and the pirated ones can be." The best thing is that this machine can be completed by only three people, saving one person's manpower. ”

Fan Ming, who was praised by her, was a little disappointed, because she said: "My goal is to be able to operate it alone, but I can't achieve it." In the end, I had to settle for the next best thing, and I could subtract one from one. ”

"That's good enough."

Fu Zhenyu said sincerely. Not to mention Fan Ming, even if she was reborn once, she couldn't make such a thing. It's better to be happy alone than to be happy, Fu Zhenyu hurriedly said: "Tao Li, go and invite Mrs. Gu over." ”

"Sister, don't worry, I've already asked people to invite."

Not long after, Mrs. Gu arrived as promised, and when she saw such a small jacquard machine, she was another joy. At the end, Mrs. Gu said excitedly: "If you do it quickly, how much can you do it before the year?" ”

Fu Zhenyu stopped Fan Ming, who was about to speak, and said: "Let's do it after the year, we will use this thing ourselves for a month, and after making sure that there is no problem with long-term use, let's make it in batches." ”

More running is equal to user testing, and the test is no problem and then selling in batches, which is the most economical way.

It's hard to say this, so Fu Zhenyu pulled the banner of the prefect of Zhang: "The woman of the previous year was busy with the autumn harvest at this time, and the next thing was to make winter clothes for the New Year; It's a festival after the year, and there is no delay. If the news is released in the lunar month, it will be customized according to the person who asks in the first month, and after the spring ploughing is over, it will be sold in batches, so as not to delay the prefect's major event. ”

Mrs. Gu was still uneasy: "Is it too late to do it in the first month?" ”

Fu Zhenyu hasn't done it again, where do you know the specifics? According to the management courses she had taken, she said, "You can't ask Fan Ming to do it alone, right?" I suggest that the parts to be done be classified first, marked with the quantity, and then come up with a method of assembly, after reasonable arrangement, I think it is not much different. Fan Ming, what do you mean? ”

Before a sentence was over, Fan Ming said: "It should be so, I don't want to say anything about it, after all, I am a novice, and the craftsmanship is not good enough." It's just that in this way, it is equivalent to handing over the initiative to someone else, and the craftsman must be found. ”

Mrs. Gu immediately took over heroically: "You just do the drawings, and I'll get the rest." and the expenses shall be paid from me, and the profits shall be shared in the future, but you will not be spared. I took the lion's share and got six points, followed by Ah Ming, with three points, and Ah Yu with one point. ”

Fu Zhenyu hurriedly said: "I can't help it! The first silver was taken by Mrs., and the things were made by Fan Ming, but I just got her two toys that were about to fall apart from the master's position, so I didn't have to share the money with me. ”

Fan Ming heard that he was three times that of Fu Zhenyu, and hurriedly said: "I'm just done, Madam just needs to remember what she promised me before and send some to my brother." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu immediately had an idea: "In this way, you get out of the Nalaoshzi craft as soon as possible, and I will find someone to make the original board." Make a few more units, let's keep three or five for ourselves, give two to your brother, one to Fu Jiatang, and run a few at the same time to try. These machines do not collect cash, but are only used for verification. ”

I heard that Fu Jiatang was also assigned one, but Fu Zhenyu was reluctant.

She would rather give the Lin family one!

Mrs. Gu has already said: "It is better to give them fish than to give them fish." If your uncle's family has an income, they will not be deceived. ”

Laugh.

Fu Zhenyu said secretly, if the eldest uncle's family is diligent, relying on her father all these years, I don't know how much money they have to save, how can the eldest aunt be so skinless and faceless? At the end of the day, it's just laziness. is not only lazy, but also under the banner of "reader", gilding his laziness.

Her thoughts were all written on her face, and Mrs. Gu had to ask, "What's wrong?" They don't want to? ”

Fu Zhenyu didn't hide it, and said: "Working every day, they don't get more than ten dollars a year, and they are afraid that they won't do it." ”

Hearing this number, Fan Ming and Mrs. Gu were surprised, because they asked: "Ten hangings a year, is it the general ledger or one person?" ”

"The general ledger." Fu Zhenyu blurted out.

Mrs. Gu has been in charge of the house for many years, and when she heard this, she said directly: "Three people only earn ten hangs a year, who will buy this machine?" Besides, last year's jacquard machine didn't just make so much! ”

Fu Zhenyu also realized that the problem was not right.

At this time, Fan Ming had a dark face and asked her, "How do you calculate, let's listen to it." ”

"At the current rate, I have estimated that a small piece of cloth will take more than an hour, and a large horse will take more than two hours. Let's count according to small horses, at most five horses a day, and two or three horses may be lazy. Runing grows cotton and hemp and does not raise silkworms, so it can only weave cloth, and it cannot weave brocade. and the wholesale price of a small piece of cotton cloth is around 500 yuan; The linen cloth is at most 200 wen. Excluding the cost of the line, I only earn three or five hundred wen a day, and I only earn ten thousand yuan a year, ten or twenty taels of silver, what's wrong-"

Fan Ming raised his forehead and roared: "Three hundred wen a day, that's 100,000 yuan a year!" ”

Fu Zhenyu blinked, blushing like a shrimp.

Your sister, your ability to do so is simply amazing!

Mrs. Gu patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it scares me." In other words, if this machine sells for one hundred taels, it will pay back in one year. The price can't be set so low, so let's do it, two hundred taels is good. ”

Fu Zhenyu and Fan Ming both recognized this price, Fu Zhenyu has a cloth pile business, and she mentioned another one: "If this small jacquard machine sells more, there are more people weaving cloth, and the demand for cotton and linen will increase." Either planted locally or purchased from other places, Runing is already accessible in all directions, and it will only be better in the future. In such a place where it is easy to make political achievements, do adults still want to leave? ”

Mrs. Gu couldn't do anything about this, so she said, "My family should go and discuss it with him." ”

Zhang Zhifu was a fellow jinshi, and he stayed up in the position of the seventh grade for more than ten years before he had to enter Zhizhou; Ten years ago, coinciding with the accession of the new emperor to the throne, the prefect of Zhang sat up from the acting prefect and stepped over the cut of the five products. Now that it is ten years old, he originally wanted to take advantage of the wind of Cangzijian to overcome the hurdles of these four products. After listening to Mrs. Gu's words, she decided directly.

Do it for another three years.

Three years later, if Cangzi is not strong, he can still use the connections of the Li family; The important thing is that if the jacquard machine can be widely used, at that time, it will not be a problem for Runing to double his taxes, and his road to promotion will be easier.

When Fu Zhenyu brought the finished textbooks to see Governor Zhang and Professor Wu, he smiled and narrowed his eyes when he heard such news.

With a backstage like Governor Zhang, and Li Zongyan, Xie Yuan, three years later, Nanhu Academy was taken over by her father, and she could sit back and relax. Soon, Fu Zhenyu adjusted his mood and said, "In this case, there is no need to be in such a hurry to teach the master." Imitated by the Water Conservancy College, I will open a separate Master College, what do adults think? ”

Professor Wu's face was not very good, and he asked a little embarrassedly, "Didn't you go to the mansion to teach?" ”

Fu Zhenyu looked at him and said righteously: "The government school is an official school, and teaching there involves policy changes. The Lord of Futai can call the shots, and he will also be attacked by the imperial history. Private learning doesn't matter, it's easy to say a little more or less. ”

This is a fact, and Professor Wu has nothing to say.

Governor Zhang also agreed, and said: "It's better to start as soon as possible, and the class will start in February next year at the latest." ”

Late will change.

He remembered that his wife said that Fu Zhenyu and Cang Zijian had an oral marriage contract. Fu Zhenyu will be eighteen next year, if Cang Zijian succeeds, he will participate in the examination, Jinshi, and then take the Shu Jishi exam, and he will always come over to marry his daughter-in-law in the second half of the year. On the contrary, if it fails, it means that there is something lacking in this master's academy, and the two of them will stay in Runing Mansion for a long time, and they will correct it later.

Fu Zhenyu didn't know what he thought, so he calculated that the class would start in February next year, and when he had time, he should go down, and only entrust the enrollment to Governor Zhang.

The plan has been decided, in October, Fu Shanchang has not returned, and the Confucius Academy has begun to be rebuilt. At the same time, Professor Wu personally drafted the first batch of 20 people to attend classes, which were ordered by the government school and sent to various places. These 40 people came from the government school and the 12 county schools under the Runing Prefecture, and the tuition fee was paid by the government for three months, which is equivalent to the further education mechanism in later generations.

Nanhu Academy and Fu Zhenyu, who are in charge of teaching, can finally make a little money this time.

Professor Wu said that the teachings of all county schools and government schools can be added up, and there can be two batches. If nothing else, next year's work will be about the same. Fu Zhenyu happily revised the textbook and strived to print out 100 copies before the end of the year——

It is cost-effective to print 100 copies.

After eating dumplings on the first day of the winter month, Fu Zhenyu talked to Mrs. Guo about this small bargain: "There are five textbooks of the Water Conservancy College, and fifty sets were printed at that time, and it cost one hundred taels; Three copies of Master's textbooks, 100 sets of which were printed, only cost 50 taels of silver, saving half of the silver. ”

Looking at the smiling girl, Mrs. Guo was very pleased: "This is very good!" You can't eat and drink poorly, and if you can't calculate, you will be poor. You're a good guy. ”

Fu Zhenyu coquettishly: "Look at what my aunt said!" I'm also a sufferer. ”

Guo Chengyin said: "Well, Fu Juren told me that your family's life in the past was indeed not easy. ”

Mrs. Guo also heard about it, and sighed lightly when she heard the words, and felt a little resentful of the Fu mother she had never met. Not to mention these bad things, Mrs. Guo talked about her happy events: "My two children also came to Runing to see us this year, and I will talk to you in advance." ”

Uncle Zhang is the same acquaintance can come over, the Guo family is both county governors, one is in Sichuan and the other is in Jiangxi, Runing is their resting place in Beijing, so naturally they have to come over to see their parents.

Fu Zhenyu was even more happy, because he asked Mrs. Guo: "How many nephews and nieces do the two brothers have in their families?" ”

The two members of the Guo family are poor, and none of them are married to daughters-in-law of wealthy families, and none of them take concubines. Despite this, there are many children in the two houses. There are three sons and two daughters in the uncle's family, and the second master's family is two sons and two daughters.

Hearing such a bustle, Fu Zhenyu said with a smile: "This courtyard only has two compartments, and I can't live in it anymore." I'll ask someone to come over tomorrow and open up the yard next door. ”

Mrs. Guo hurriedly said: "Don't bother, just squeeze and stay." The family is huddled together, and it is more lively. ”

How could Fu Zhenyu agree? Because he said: "There are so many yards at home, and they are empty and empty, why don't you use them?" ”

Mrs. Guo glared at her and told her in detail about the situation at home: "Fu Shanchang will return soon, and the bluestone courtyard and the main courtyard must not be moved; After changing two guest houses to become Confucius Academy, there are still three small guest houses left. During the New Year's Festival, the people of Fujiatang came to visit the door, and they always had to settle down, I am afraid that it would not be enough. ”

Fu Zhenyu didn't care much and said: "If my father comes back, our family will go back to Fujiatang for the New Year, and we won't live here." ”

Mrs. Guo pointed to her head and pointed: "This time is different from the past, Nanhu Academy has produced these children this year, and there are two local lifters, and Fu Shanchang is an elder, and there must be people in the clan." ”

Fu Zhenyu really didn't expect this.

Hearing that there were only three small courtyards, only the main room, and not even a wing room, Fu Zhenyu immediately scooped out the silver and called Steward Feng: "Build all the wings of the small courtyard as soon as possible." ”

Fortunately, the farming work has ended, and Steward Feng has invited enough people at one time, and the three small courtyards plus the back cover house here of the Guo family have started construction together, and the house has been fully covered before the ground freezes.

At this time, Fu Shanchang and his wife returned home.
