Jia Liang had a headache, never thought that he would one day be pitted by his son. It's so miserable!

Jia Jin used this matter to blackmail Jia Liang, and Jia Liang had no choice but to agree to a bunch of conditions for his son. Among them are the mold problems of the pen factory in Guangzhou, and the problems of the assembly line.

If you want to build an assembly line, it's not like just hiring some small workers in the future. On this assembly line, there must be at least three to five steelmaking experts, and these experts are not available everywhere.

In this era, there are very few metal products that are made well, and there are at most one or two blacksmith shops in a city, and they really want to recruit people, and there is nowhere to buy a kitchen knife in the whole city.

Most of the other iron kilns are official kilns, and it is extremely difficult to dig people from them.

Jia Liang had no choice but to end Mu Xiu in advance and go to the court to find the emperor to open the back door.

When the emperor heard that this guy had come to him to ask for a blacksmith for the sake of his family's business, he was so angry that he wanted to pick up the smoker on the table and throw it away.

"You still don't want to be faced!" The emperor couldn't move the smoker, but smashed the two inkstones, and saw that Jia Yu blatantly picked up the inkstone full of ink and was about to kick it in his arms, and suddenly became angry: "Huang Gui! Don't grab it for me! ”

Jia Liang said with a scoundrel face: "Your Majesty, the minister is poor." The minister is about to split up, although the minister's two sons are married, but there are still two daughters. The little girl in Dongfu is also raised in the minister's house, and she is full of money when she opens her mouth and closes her mouth. ”

The emperor scolded speechlessly: "You deserve it!" Didn't your daughter-in-law ask for it? I heard that the little girl was raised by yourself, isn't it that the suspect's family is not good at raising her, and now she will call her poor again.

"Don't think I don't know, there are a lot of shops in your house, all of them are profitable, I have turned a blind eye, and you still want me to find you a blacksmith?

"If you go so far, beware that I want your head!"

Jia Liang sighed, sat on the ground and opened his mouth to talk: "Your Majesty, the minister is loyal, why doesn't Your Majesty understand the minister's hard work?" If this factory is successful, won't the production method that my son has figured out be vigorously promoted in China?

"Besides, this kind of management method is the first time, and the household department can't be allowed to experiment. What if it fails? Besides, it's still a six-year-old yellow-mouthed child, and people won't believe it when they say it.

The minister thought about it, and only did experiments in the minister's own business, and when it was done, he told the household department and let him learn and practice. No, the loss can only be borne by the minister, and it can't hinder the treasury.

"Your Majesty, you see that the minister is so selfless and loyal, why don't you hurry up and send a few good steel-making experts? Besides, after you get used to using the fountain pen, don't you like it too? ”

The emperor gritted his teeth and said: "Your mouth can be said to be dead if you are alive, don't believe you." When you are away, your parents and children are making trouble, don't you know? ”

Jia Liang sighed again and said, "So, our family is loyal." Lian'er also felt inconvenient to do experiments, so she should change the production speed of this turtle crawling, so she thought that she would also do an experiment herself, so that she could report the results to Your Majesty, and it would not be in vain for Your Majesty to make him a baron. ”

The emperor was speechless by Jia Yu's unashamed words, twitched the corners of his mouth for a long time, and finally cried and laughed: "Okay, good, I give you three blacksmiths, if you can't get this assembly line, you will take your shop to pay!" ”

Jia Liang hurriedly asked, "Which shop does Your Majesty want?" ”

The emperor really laughed, and immediately said, "Do you dare to give that foreign goods shop?" ”

Jia Liang hurriedly shook his head: "I can't help it, that's my daughter-in-law's, she is a tigress." But His Majesty really wanted it, and she didn't dare not give it. ”

Seeing that Jia Yu was so spineless, the emperor didn't know whether to laugh at him or annoy him for a while. Finally, he waved his hand impatiently and said to Huang Gui: "Order each of the official kilns in each country to select an experienced craftsman and send it to Guangzhou." ”

Then he said to Jia Liang: "You get out, you get out, I don't want to see you again." ”

Jia Liang got up and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty really wants a foreign goods shop, I'll go back and talk to my daughter-in-law?" As long as His Majesty says a word, I believe she will not dare not give it. ”

The emperor laughed angrily, flew over and scolded: "Get out!" ”

Jia Liang came out of the palace, went straight to the baron's mansion, told Jia Lian the good news, and said to him: "You kid and your brother do a good job, if this factory dares to fail, your old man will be finished." ”

Jia Lian hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Father, don't worry, the third brother of the management charter has already given me and Feng'er a copy, and we have all praised him for his quick thinking and outstanding talent." I believe that with the charter of the third brother, this factory will definitely be able to return to its original cost within half a year. ”

Jia Liang went home again and told Xing Shuang about today's conversation with the emperor.

After listening to this, Xing Shuang said: "Your Majesty really can't bear your anger, you are so willing to give it up, but you still don't want it?" ”

Jia Liang smiled bitterly: "We want to give, how can he have such a cheeky face?" The Manchu Dynasty is full of eyes for civil and military affairs, if he embezzles the minister's family property, can he still afford the word virtuous?

"In my opinion, I don't want to introduce Benjamin to him next time. Anyway, now that England and we have opened a trade route, the two countries are about to start cooperating, so it is better to start with Benjamin and let him be the first person to eat crabs. ”

Xing Shuang nodded and said, "That's right, I just wanted to dedicate this shop to Your Majesty, but I didn't expect to seriously let Benjamin change his royal identity." It just so happens that his family is also a nobleman in England, although his status is not high, but it is enough to enter the palace to meet His Majesty. ”

It turned out that this foreign goods shop was something that Xing Shuang wanted to get rid of.

It's not that Xing Shuang thinks he has too much money, but Benjamin cooperates with him, and what he likes is his status in the capital.

With this status, Benjamin's goods can be sold so hot in the capital, and every time his goods arrive at the shore, they are sold out in the warehouse in less than a month. For other Western merchants, it takes as little as three months or more than half a year to sell out, and then go to buy goods and return to China.

Now Xing Shuang's family is going to Guangzhou, and Guangzhou is not as easy to sell as in Beijing. After all, Guangzhou is a dock city, foreign goods are everywhere, and there are as many foreigners as dogs. If Benjamin's things are to be sold in Guangzhou, he will lose at least 30% or more.

Now Xing Shuang wants to find someone to get rid of, give Benjamin's goods out, and consolidate the relationship between the two parties.

So Jia Liang blatantly went to ask for a blacksmith, and by the way, he also wanted to give up the shop to the country. It's just that the emperor is thin-skinned and embarrassed to ask for it, and it seems that he will have to persuade him a few more times in the future.
