Red Chamber Fellows: You Are Not Guilty

This is an unforgettable Mid-Autumn Festival, an epoch-making Mid-Autumn Festival, and a transformative Mid-Autumn Festival.But the last one, everyone realized it after a long time.

It was not because the emperor did not seek the opinions of his courtiers on the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he strongly advocated the establishment of a supervisory office based on the original Yushitai and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to supervise all officials.There was no need for courtiers to recommend, the emperor personally announced that King Pingjun would be the official historian, and Sun Jian, the former deputy historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, would be the deputy historian.

It was because at the gate of the city, a straight, flat road suddenly appeared, leading to the distance.No one has seen the materials used to build this road, but people who have passed by say that it is even flatter than a road paved with stone slabs. Except for a small crack about ten feet away, there is no trace of man-made at all.

In fact, people who went out of the city at Ximen some time ago have already discovered that a long cloth curtain has been erected beside the original road, and there are jingling sounds coming from inside.There are also fields near the roadside that were quietly bought, but the buyers were scattered and did not attract attention.

Unexpectedly, on the morning before the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the curtains beside the road were suddenly removed, revealing the true face inside.The people who saw it for the first time, apart from being shocked or shocked, didn't know what this thing was for.Some old people regard it as a miracle, so they burn incense and kneel down to worship.

At this time, a carriage came out of Ximen, and the carriage drove onto the thing that everyone didn't know what it was used for.The sound of the horse's hooves beating is crisp and sweet, and the rolling wheels slide smoothly.

It was a road, such a flat, smooth thing, it was a road!

Everyone held back their curiosity and just watched the car come and go on the road.After a while, after the car stopped, a person got out from inside, and someone he knew whispered: "It's Ding Guogong."

This lord of the state is famous, and he only said that the charcoal pencil he invented and the potatoes and corn he planted have made him a household name.He was the first to hit the road today, wasn't he?

A daring person asked from a distance: "My lord, can the little ones walk this way?"

Jia Amnesty also replied from a distance: "Yes, why not, the road is built to let everyone go."

After hearing this sound, some bold people stepped on the road carefully, only feeling that the ground is solid and flat, which is an experience that they have never had in their lives.With a leader, there will be more people following. At one time, people call for people, people pull people, and a road is full.

There are also more courageous people who walk along this road, only to feel that this road leads to the sky and has no end.

At this time, Jia Amnesty was looking at Guanshi Li who was begging for praise: "Didn't you say that the two sides were repaired separately? How did the work here be completed so quickly?"

Although Jia She didn't say anything, the corners of his mouth didn't seem to be angry at all. Li Guanshi felt confident: "Although you said that you want to repair both sides together, we think that after the Mid-Autumn Festival You still have to go to Zhuangzi. Anyway, it’s not a few miles away, so you can just finish it directly, so as to save you from having to eat ashes next time you go.”

Anyway, the road has been repaired, and everyone has seen it, so Jia Amnesty had no choice but to accept his kindness.It's just that as soon as this road comes out, the emperor may know immediately that he is getting farther and farther away from the leisurely life.

"Okay," Jia Amnesty said to Guanshi Li, "I've put Zhuangzi under strict security, and the people inside are not allowed to go out without permission, do you know that?" If the secret is leaked too early, it will not be good for your money-making plans.

Li Guanshi nodded: "Don't worry, my lord. Although there are many people in the village, except for those soldiers, they are all our own people. Besides, Xiao Cui has collected the formula so much that he can hardly find it himself."

Hearing what he said was humorous, Jia Amnesty also smiled, and ordered people to give some rewards to the people in the Zhuangzi, so that on Mid-Autumn Festival, he would have a rest for a day, and he would go to the palace.

"My lord," Li Guanshi remembered something again: "That Jia Qiang, does your lord have any plans?"

Not wanting Li Guanshi to mention this person at this time, Jia She was a little puzzled and waited for him to continue.I just heard Li Guanshi say: "Although the boy's strength is a little weaker, his brain is not slow. He can come up with a few small ideas in a short time." Thinking of the few ideas Jia Qiang came up with, he was very happy. The country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. They are all lazy ideas.

Hearing that Jia Qiang can come up with ideas, Jia Amnesty is also a little happy. Those who can use their brains are more useful than those who are stupid: "If you look at him, it's okay, just let him take care of small things. It's just that person He is always lazy, and you have to be careful not to follow his way. If you lead people astray at that time, you will cry sometimes."

After dismissing Guanshi, Jia Amnesty got into the carriage immediately and headed for the palace.Anyway, sooner or later you will end up in this bad situation, so it is better to take the initiative and get more benefits.

As soon as he entered the Daming Palace, he said to the Supreme Emperor: "The Supreme Emperor, I'm here to pick you up."

The Supreme Emperor looked at the excited person in front of him with some puzzlement, not knowing what kind of demon he was going to be.Jia She was very pleased with the Supreme Emperor, smiling brightly: "Didn't I say that I would build a road that is not bumpy for you? Now it has been built, go, go, go, go and see."

It made him feel excited, but fortunately, the Supreme Emperor still knew that he could not leave the palace easily, so he asked people to see if the emperor had finished his morning court.

The emperor had already learned that there was a road made of unknown materials outside the west gate of the capital, and he felt that it was probably the concrete road that Jia She had described.When the Supreme Emperor came to invite me, if there is anything I don't understand, this person must have entered the palace by himself to show his merits to the Supreme Emperor.

So the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor personally went out of the palace to inspect the first concrete road in ancient times, and it became a grand event in Beijing for a while.Don't say it's a prestigious family, even the common people, no one should take it seriously.You can't steal the limelight from the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, but the road is there, and you have to walk it yourself to be worthwhile in this life.

When people in Beijing's enthusiasm for cement roads subside, and then look at the road I usually take, it will be as unpleasant as it is.On weekdays, I still feel that the road under the feet of the Son of Heaven is flat enough and wide enough, but compared with other cement roads, it is not enough at all.

Have you heard that when you walk up that road, you don’t even get a single gray star? If you get up early and wear a pair of new shoes, when it gets dark, there will be no dirt on the shoes.It also rained two days ago, and the roads in the city were full of mud and water, but there was no mud on the cement road.

Exaggerated is not.But I can't stand the common people's hobbies, and it's hard to come up with some new things that they can participate in. Can you let them show off?

But the emperor in the palace couldn't take it anymore.Not only he went to see it that day, but everyone in the whole capital must have seen it by now.But it is because everyone has seen it that everyone thinks this cement road is a good thing.

What to do with good things?Of course, it should be enjoyed first by the royal family.This is the psychology of ordinary courtiers.It's a pity that it's not Jia Amnesty's psychology.Even the emperor saw this concrete road, and felt that a lot of money was being drilled into his private treasury. How could he let those who obviously planned to get a piece of the pie intervene!

"What should I do?" The emperor asked Jia She, who was currently staying in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Not bad, not here.The Dingguo Mansion has already been surrounded by people.Everyone knew that this thing was created by Jia She, everyone had no quarrel with Jia She, and everyone had been friends with Jia She since eight lifetimes ago.This is only the first-class family in Beijing, those second- and third-class families have already been excluded by the first batch of people.

Having said so much, in the final analysis, it is just one sentence, sell them cement!

Where did Jia Amnesty get so much cement!The road he is transporting raw materials now is almost not paved on the Zhuangzi, okay?But those people didn't listen to his explanation, they just circled around him to make friends, tell old stories, or put on the airs of the elders, if you don't sell it to me, you will grab it.

No, Jia Amnesty was forced to hide in the palace and not move.

The emperor looked at him, and almost wrote the words deserved on his face.Let you be so blind that you don't want to wait for more things to be produced before showing off?

But that's Guanshi Li's own opinion.Jia Amnesty was really hard to say, after all, he was kind enough to let him use the cement road earlier, so as not to eat dust back and forth.Who knows that everyone is so knowledgeable that they can see this cement more thoroughly than him.

"Ah!" In this sigh, there is much lovelessness in life.Jia Amnesty told his plan, and the emperor knew why he sighed so sadly.

"What you said is true?" The emperor thought he had heard it wrong.

"It's true." Jia She was not feeling well.Even if I said I would donate this cement recipe, but the vain money just flew away, my heart is bleeding badly.

But the emperor got cheap and acted like a good boy: "What about my one million taels of silver?"

Can Jia Amnesty not jump up: "It's 100 million taels, why don't you count my money? Mine!!" He became so excited that tears would come out: "The prescription is mine, and the person is mine. Now it’s all yours, not to mention, it’s my money from now on.” There was another howling.

The emperor also knew that he was at a disadvantage, so he could only ask tentatively, "Would you like to reward your two grandchildren?"

"Forget it." Jia She was still clear in his heart: "Let them feel that as long as they are born, they will be rewarded. Is it good for them or harmful to them. But my lord, why does my heart hurt so much?"

Even the emperor himself, thinking about the loss of a large amount of income in his private treasury, felt very distressed.But now it has become a trend of riding a tiger. Only when Jia Amnesty donates the prescription and the country produces it in a unified way can the ambitions of those who covet it be pacified.

"There is another way." Jia She suddenly thought of a way of the later generations, green light came out from his eyes, and the twinkling flashed, which shocked the emperor.
