Chapter 458
Xu Qing lowered his head and looked at the drawings carefully, if he has hands and feet, he can do it? !
Is it that simple and easy?
He looked at the drawings carefully, but still couldn't understand them.
However, the drawings taken out by Princess Jing can be regarded as good things, and they can be placed alongside firearms.
He's seen the magic of cement.
"If you recruit two hundred people first, it won't be too difficult, the princess gives enough wages, and when you can earn money, no one will care about the ugly face."
Xu Qing thought for a while and said, "Are you sure that each person can spin twenty horses a month?" ”
"This is only the lowest number, skilled workers can spin more, Xu Qing, people are very magical, it is difficult to measure the bottom line."
Yun Wei said: "I started with spinning, the reason why it is not in the north but in the south is mainly because the south is suitable, and the business is far more developed than the north, and spinning can drive many industries."
If you want to spin more by skilled workers, the price of cloth will fall, and I hope that I will not be able to wear a new set of clothes in the future until the Chinese New Year.
Ordinary people can also buy new clothes at will......"
"Wouldn't there be fewer people cultivating the land?" Xu Qing faintly felt that Princess Jing was not small, "They all go to spin to make money and earn easier silver, and no one wants to work hard with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky." ”
"It's not that there is less arable land, it's that there are fewer people who are likely to farm, and food will naturally rise, and the people will take food as their sky, and it is impossible to cultivate land without making money."
Yun Wei couldn't understand it for a while, and besides, she herself only knew a little bit about this aspect, and she couldn't let Xu Qing understand it completely.
However, just follow the process in the history books.
After all, history provides the way forward.
By the time Yun Wei dies in this world, she may not be able to see the real progress of civilization in society.
But there is always a possibility, a spark left.
As long as the Central Plains civilization is not destroyed and destroyed by the barbarism of the Northern Barbarians, and the people are imprisoned again, she always believes that the current world is better than the past.
This is also the confidence that King Muyang gave her!
Mu Yang will not let Xiliang lose, Mu landlord is not very reliable in women, and he should be able to keep the enemy out of the country in terms of right and wrong.
What's more, Mu Yang has a firearm in his hand!
"You know that Empress Yang wants to reign in the world, and I left the capital with Ah Yang because I didn't want to fall into the dilemma of helping anyone and not helping anyone.
Second, I believe that we can make real progress by making innovations, opening factories, and thriving commercial and maritime trade.
Queen Yang won just to promote a few female officials, but who are the people who can be female officials? The daughter of the nobles of the family who was carefully raised.
The status of women is definitely better than it is now, and the power is still in the hands of male officials, who together are enough to compete with Empress Yang. ”
Yun Wei took a deep breath, her eyes flashed with worry, "I have always been too lazy to think about these things, and I am just hiding when I go out of Beijing, no matter who wins or loses between the emperor and Empress Yang, Ah Yang will not lose, you know, right." ”
Xu Qing nodded, why won't he lose?
King Jing can completely control the world, and if he is a little more ambitious, he will rule the river or wave his troops to the north, and the Jiangnan Shi clan and the people support King Jing very much.
And north of the Yangtze River, King Jing has a better reputation, is more virtuous than the emperor, and is easier to claim the emperor than Empress Yang.
After all, King Jing is a man!
At this time, if you ask the woman who she accepts as the emperor, Mu Yang and Empress Yang choose one of the two, most of the women answer King Jing.
It's not that King Jing is handsome, women are used to men being emperors, and men are qualified to rule the world as officials.
It's always the man who has the say on the outside.
This is not something that can be reversed overnight, and even when Yun Wei came to that time and space, how many women really did it?
Equality...... It has been constantly emphasized that equality between men and women is still inequality in the final analysis.
It's just that compared to before, that era was already very good and free for women.
But in the career, there is also an invisible ceiling for women.
Every successful woman is accompanied by a lot of criticism.
The reason why the story of the big heroine and the strong woman is popular is not because it can't be obtained in reality?
Xu Qing felt the surging sentimentality on Yun Wei's body, and wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.
"All the way south, I saw Ah Yang's busyness, seeing him do things, although I said that it was better to curly hair, but I didn't want to really be a salted fish, curly hair is working hard, how can I be qualified to lie flat.
This place in the south of the Yangtze River is too suitable, more suitable than Ayang's fiefdom, I will work hard once, live up to the time, live up to myself. ”
Yun Wei didn't mention Mu Yang, she didn't do her career for men!
Even if that person was Mu Yang, it lowered her grade.
"I hope that the two hundred women you have found for me are not widows, not women who cannot survive, preferably husbands and children, otherwise I will not let you help."
"Okay, I've made a note of it, does the princess have any other requirements?"
"It's better to build a spinning mill where there is water, and another printing and dyeing mill to build next to the spinning mill, and this factory is better to recruit men."
Yunwei simply made a perfect industrial chain, and the integration of spinning, printing, dyeing and distribution should be able to drive more people to join in.
"Isn't the spinning machine going to be watched by more people? I'm worried that some people will see you making money and stealing, even if you have the prince as your backer, you don't understand that as long as the profit is enough, they dare to do anything. ”
"I know, people die for money."
“……”
Xu Qing asked tentatively, "Who else has seen this drawing besides me?" ”
"Are you afraid that after the word spreads, I blame you?"
Yun Wei asked with a smile, and Xu Qing's face froze.
"You don't need to explain, I didn't plan to hide the spinning machine, and the improvement and progress of tools can eat a lot of dividends, but if I just want to make money and earn fame, I won't take the initiative to open a factory.
When will I be able to achieve the goal of everyone having new clothes to wear? The secret of my spinning machine for a few more years is that I have earned a lot of extra silver, but am I short of silver?
I don't want to be honored by the princess or other honorable titles, or to be considered by the people to be a goddess from heaven, an empress or something......
I just want to do what I think I should do, so that I don't have to wait until I'm old and look back on the past, I'm afraid I'll regret it! ”
Yun Wei took out a stack of silver tickets and handed it to Xu Qing.
"No, the princess doesn't need so much, I, I can help the princess to pay the silver, to support the princess, no, no, to help the princess."
Xu Qing resolutely didn't want the silver ticket, and his head shook like a rattle, "I don't really understand the princess's mind, I only know that you are also doing great things, and you have a more far-reaching impact than what Queen Yang in the capital has done."
I help you, not for King Jing, not for Wan Niangniang. ”
"Do you have a crush on me?" Yun Wei laughed first after speaking, "Don't be nervous, just kidding." ”
Xu Qing's face darkened, and he still emphasized word by word: "I don't ask for a name after my death, just because I think it's worth it, princess, I will follow you in the future."
It's not just me...... I can also pull Uncle Wu over, we will not follow the prince in the future, I am willing to follow your orders and be your doorman. ”
"Are you serious? Follow me?! Yun Wei continued to laugh, four points joking, three points serious, "You know that I am a woman, the head of the Wu family has not offended you, you not only sold yourself to me in your next life, but even he was represented by you?" ”
Xu Qing got up and replied seriously: "With Uncle Wu's shrewdness, he can only be grateful to me, how can he blame me."
In the long run, Uncle Wu and I are actually not outstanding, Uncle Wu barely keeps his ancestral business, and he is looked down upon.
And I, because my mother and my Xu family were killed, I have long been kicked out by those families, and I have to encounter more than a dozen assassinations every year.
It has only gradually improved in the past year, and people who are anxious to return to the country can't remember me, His Royal Highness King Jing has attracted most of their attention, and I am an insignificant person.
With Uncle Wu and my ability, I can't be in front of the prince, and I can't compete with the people who take refuge in the prince. ”
"I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, do you mean that I can't recruit capable people, so I can only rely on you and the Wu family?"
"Not really."
Xu Qing shook his head again, "Why do you ask knowingly, you know that I don't mean that, by the side of the prince, it is difficult to come out, and the prince may not be willing to believe us."
I am a servant of your disciple when I work for the princess, and you will not use me as a slave.
You give your maidservants respect, maintain their personality, and are ridiculed by outsiders for being shallow-eyed and petty, and will not use slaves and maids.
I laughed at it, really, I was laughed at by the minions who were kneeling all the time.
Those who laugh at you will never learn to respect people, and those who laugh at you have been on their knees for so long that they have forgotten how to be independent.
When I heard these things, I was going to take refuge in you, following you, I am more like a person than by the side of the prince, and even His Royal Highness King Jing does not understand your specialness......"
"Don't transfer my relationship with Ah Yang, he understands and is helping me." Yun Wei hooked the corners of her mouth, it was undeniable that Xu Qing's understanding made her extremely happy.
Even if there is one person who understands her intentions, she will be happy.
"The most important thing about cement, can you put it down?" Yun Wei asked, "The premise of what I want to do needs to be a safe and stable environment, Xiliang can't be breached, you know." ”
"The prince can use the cement recipe to attract more people, the profit benefits of cement are visible to everyone, the prince does not need me, he uses others to do no worse than me."
Xu Qing thought for a while and said: "Fangzi has been successfully experimented, and only needs to produce a steady stream of cement and transport it to Xiliang, the prince's Fangzi - no matter how big the profit is, few people dare to move."
I can spare time to focus on serving the princess, and if you meet Uncle Wu another day, the princess will understand why I recommended him." ”
"Okay, that's it, you help me build the factory first, and after I recruit female workers, there is one more, pay attention to fire prevention!" It also requires some people to carefully inspect the treasury and carefully set it on fire. ”
"Yes, don't worry, Princess, I will get everything done for you as soon as possible."
Yun Wei nodded, picked up the box Xu Qing gave her, and smiled meaningfully, "That hairpin ring will be on Wan Aniang's head, she is a little interesting to you, otherwise she won't talk to you about me." ”
"Wan Niangniang mentioned the princess to me, just to let me assist Princess Zuo, she has been helping you."
"The mouth is sweet and can speak. No wonder Wan A-Niang can be tempted again. ”
Yun Wei walked to the door and said softly: "You are very smart and very useful, but remember one thing, if you hurt Wan Aniang, you will die, no matter how talented you are, you can't keep you." ”
"I'd rather hurt myself than hurt her......"
"You can say this to Wan A-Niang, you don't have to swear to me."
Yun Wei waved her hand with her back to Xu Qing after going out, "I don't believe any of the men except Ah Yang, including my stepfather." ”
Xu Qing didn't send Yunwei, stabilized her mood, and rode out to see Uncle Wu first, the recruitment of female workers is inseparable from Uncle Wu, after all, Uncle Wu is really familiar with the three sects and the ninth stream.
Yun Wei went to the teahouse to take away the curly hair that worked hard to write the book, and after a glance at the results of the curly hair for a day, Yun Wei was very satisfied, and waved her hand, "I will allow you to eat at the table tonight, and I will prepare an extra pot of meat and bones for you." ”
Curly hair lay on Yun Wei's shoulder, shrunk a movable dog paw, too tired, so hung and vomited blood.
Curly hair realized that it is not easy to write with a brush.
If he had a keyboard, at his speed of 8,000 words per hour, the results would have been a little more.
Yun Wei fed Curly Hair the snacks she bought in the shopping casually, said a few words about her leaving the teahouse to do something, praised Xu Qing, and Curly Hair rubbed Yun Wei's cheek, whining twice.
"I knew you would help me, Ah Yang doesn't need you to worry about it, you can help me think about anything I missed."
"Wang."
Got it!
Curly thought if he stayed up all night to make the prototype of a steam engine?!
After all, Curly has enough knowledge, and he knows a lot of advanced knowledge.
Returning to the Qi Mansion from the side door, and coming to the courtyard that had been re-inscribed, Yun Wei felt that something was wrong, "There seem to be fewer slaves and maids today." ”
Yun Wei only spent a few days in the Qi family before she learned the extravagance of the noble clan of the noble family, and heard that the young masters and young ladies of the Qi family each had more than 20 slaves and maids around them.
The nobles of the Qi family are serious about not touching the spring water with their fingers, and there is no place where they are not delicate in eating, wearing, living and traveling, and they are all stepping on human stools when they get on and off the carriage.
The extravagance of the family was beyond Yun Wei's expectations, and she always thought it was the bottom line, but it turned out that they could be more extravagant.
In this environment, Yun Wei tries to keep a calm mind and keep her 'mission' in mind.
"Her Royal Highness the princess atoned for her sins, it was the slave and maid who were bold and reckless, spreading rumors about the princess to the head of the house, and did not understand the princess's love for the slave and maid, and talked about the princess behind her back.
Everything is the slave's fault, and I implore the princess to punish only the slave and maid, and the slave's family does not know about it, so it should not be implicated by the slave and maid. ”
Suddenly, a slave ran out, and immediately knelt down when she saw Yun Wei, banging and kowtowing, and the blood came out of her forehead but she still kowtowed vigorously.
"Ayang...... Does the prince know? ”
Yun Wei completely understood that everything was wrong because of Mu Yang.
The slave and maid said with tears in her eyes: "The prince doesn't like others to say bad things about you, he said, the slaves and maids don't know how to rely on, the prince did not punish the slaves and maids, and called the masters of the slaves and maids, as well as those who listened to the slaves and maids to spread the false news about the princess and then looked down on the princess."
The prince sent out the guards, they went with firearms, broke into the back house and took the lady and the lady away, the prince said, they can't teach the slaves and maids, they should be punished. ”
The slaves and maids were almost scared to death, but they didn't expect to punish the master in the end, but the master was punished, and he didn't clean them up when he went back?
Now only the princess can save their lives.
