"It's like a letter.

Since Beiping, it has been more than a few months, Gu Gongzi showed the new textile machine, Zhen family firm has tried to make two finished products, a rough try, as Gongzi said, the spinning efficiency is several times higher.

It has reached the middle of the year, the firm has no intention of going north, if there is no accident, the firm has only been on behalf of the rest of the shops to textile, not to take the trade road, now the new type of textile machine, young women can also start, the firm also has a new way.

Son's great kindness, no repayment, I don't know what year and month to see the son again, if the son goes south, you can find the Zhen family firm in Suzhou City, I hope the son knows.

Zhen Ru, on the night of May 12. ”

The letter in his hand was very short, and the rice paper was also very thin, Gu Huai read it twice, then gently folded it and put it in the envelope.

The chivalrous woman suddenly appeared in my mind... I didn't expect it to be a few months since I got out of the jam all the way.

Seeing that she successfully returned to Jiangnan, and the firm now has a new livelihood, the guilt in Gu Huai's heart has faded a little, after all, there were so many guys in the Zhen family firm, and it was because of him that he died on the grassland.

It's just a whim at the beginning, but now it seems that it has a terrible result... The emergence of new textile machines is not just as simple as bringing a Zhen family firm back to life.

It's a pity that I went south to Jinling in a hurry this time, and I didn't think about it at all, otherwise I would have gone to Suzhou to have a look, and I promoted some things in a silent place, and the whole Jiangnan... It is about to set off a storm even greater than the Battle of Jingjing.

Things have always been like this, sometimes something that is enough to change the world is always insignificant and unnoticeable at the beginning, and it is often only when the world has a glimpse of the development of things that they can look back at the original point, and then sigh that it is so.

Loom... Sewing machine... The primitive accumulation of capital ... Industrial Revolution...

Interrupted by the child who was urging for money, Gu Huai came back to his senses, took out a few copper coins from his sleeve, and gave them to the young man who was begging for a living and sending letters under the imperial court, and at the same time picked up a piece of rice paper and wrote the letter carefully.

It's okay to do it on your behalf... It can even contract more, two textile machines become four, four become eight, and the lowly status of folk women in this era can be recruited in large numbers to provide some basic guarantees, such as wages and women's rights...

By extension, you can even set up a trade union or something, so that the volume of the commercial bank will become infinite, if you are a little more ruthless, play the capital merger, the small commercial house will become a flood beast, sweeping the industry in Suzhou City...

You can also appropriately disclose some technology, a large number of humble workshops and factories will rise from the ground, Suzhou's already extremely prosperous textile industry will usher in a prosperous era, but at this time the export of goods will become a huge problem...

I am afraid that the trade route will have to be picked up again, but it is a pity that the founding of the Ming Dynasty set the national policy of banning the sea...

Can a small Zhen family firm control this great change and stand on the tide of the times? Capital has always been bloody, and that place in the south of the Yangtze River...

The more he thought about it, the more complicated it became, the more he wrote the letter, the more obscure it became, Gu Huai wanted to explain something, but he wasn't sure that these things could be understood by Zhen Ru when they turned into words, and he had foreseen some of the turmoil that might be brought about by the appearance of something that changed the times, but it was far less thrilling than thinking about it now.

Maybe there's some selfishness in there... Gu Huai didn't really want that woman full of chivalrous dreams to become a mercenary capitalist.

A foreshadowing that was inadvertently buried at the beginning could become the biggest thing I did?

In comparison, the Battle of Jingjing may not be a big deal...

At the end of the letter, it was no longer like a reply from a friend who came to mind, but like a manual, even if Gu Huai tried his best to avoid how to teach Zhen Ru to do it, he unconsciously wrote a lot of ways to avoid detours.

A light cough made Gu Huai stop his pen, he sealed the envelope, but he hadn't decided whether to send it or not, but the cough was getting louder and louder.

Pushing open the door and walking to the bed, Gu Huai tested the temperature of Xu Miaojin's forehead: "Is it still uncomfortable?" ”

The doctor said that it was a cold wind, but it didn't get better after taking medicine, and a beautiful little face was so pale that it made people feel distressed.

Xu Miaojin opened her eyes slightly, and the face reflected in her eyes made her feel a little more relieved: "It's not uncomfortable." ”

Gu Huai picked up the bowl and gave her some water: "Your sister is very worried about you, I went to the palace yesterday, if it wasn't for Gonggong Ma's report, I would have to be blocked..."

Xu Miaojin's spirit seemed to be better, and she showed a small smile: "You can talk to my sister." ”

"Now you are really not suitable to go back to the palace to live, it's too messy," Gu Huai put a pillow on her, "Speaking of which, the prince is really miserable, now you have to go to the street every day to pretend to be crazy, wrap a quilt in a hot day and drill into whichever house to eat... I can't bear to look at it, he knows that you are going back to Beiping, and he agrees that you will live here first. ”

"Why is my brother-in-law doing this?"

Gu Huai was silent for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

To avoid disaster? For the sake of rebellion? This patience, this forbearance... Do you want to ask what the power of the world is, and teach people to promise life and death?

He shook his head slightly: "I just hope that the imperial court can be more or less scrupulous about face." ”

Xu Miaojin's face turned whiter: "The third brother let us go, will the court find trouble with the third brother?" ”

This question has been asked many times all the way north, and every time Gu Huai replied that no, Zhongshan Wangfu is the pillar of the imperial court, not to mention that the imperial court did not find out about this matter, where would he go to Xu Zengshou's trouble?

But this time he looked at Xu Miaojin's eyes, but he couldn't say such a thing.

He shook his head slightly: "The Grand Governor is still sending a secret letter to the Yan Wangfu. ”

In fact, since Zhu Di returned to Beiping, there have been secret letters from Xu Zengshou one after another, the decision-making of the imperial court, the attitude of hundreds of officials, and the turbulent undercurrent in the court... He was worried about his sister and brother-in-law in Beiping, and between the so-called righteousness and family affection, he chose family affection.

The matter of letting go of King Yan's three sons and one horse may not make him doomed, but once these secret letters are revealed, the ending... It can well be imagined.

The blood on Xu Miaojin's face faded a little: "I'm so scared." ”

"I'm not afraid of the righteousness of the court, I'm just a girl... Whether my brother-in-law rebels or not, I hope that my sister-in-law's family will be well... The eldest brother always said that the food of the Zhongshan Mansion should be loyal to the king, will he and his brother-in-law meet each other on the battlefield one day? When the time comes, sister... In the past, the third brother was always heartless, but this time he seemed to have a lot on his mind, and he refused to tell me... I'm so afraid I'll never see my third brother again. ”

Was it heart disease?

The summer weather is very hot, even if there is a patio in the yard, there is heat in the house, not to mention that Xu Miaojin is also covered with a quilt, and there are small beads of sweat on his forehead and the tip of his nose.

After taking medicine, sweating, and the wind and cold are not yet well, it seems that Tsundere Lori also has a lot of things in her heart, and it is difficult for her to get better when she gets sick.

It turns out that on the way north, Tsundere Lori, who still looks innocent, is also a little adult.

Gu Huai gently wiped away the beads of sweat for her, and in silence, she could only stand up:

"I'll make you some medicine."
