Red Chamber Fellows: You Are Not Guilty

But Jia Amnesty thought of an idea that he could share the money on the cement, and he was in a good mood, his eyes glowed green, like a wolf seeing meat, which scared the emperor.

Seeing that the emperor was puzzled, Jia Amnesty explained to him: "Isn't it that I want to present this recipe? You can order this product, the emperor, that this product can only be produced by the Ministry of Industry, and private production of this product is not allowed."

The emperor also understood that due to the many uses of cement, once the folks also produced it, it would be very easy to cause the prescription to be leaked. If the Beiyi and other foreigners got it, it would be a big loss.

But what does this have to do with Jia She's money?The emperor could see just now that Jia She was so excited when he talked about this matter, only when he got his 100 million taels of silver back then.

"The production of the Ministry of Industry needs to be counted, right?" Seeing that the emperor still hadn't understood, Jia She could only continue to divide: "At that time, each bag of cement will not need to be much, just give me three Wen." Jia She's asking price is not high.To put it bluntly, it means that Jia Amnesty handed over the patent rights and charged a patent fee for each bag of cement produced.

How much money can you make in this way?The emperor obviously didn't know the truth that accumulating less makes more.You know, because it is still produced manually, the cost of each bag of cement is one yuan, which is one hundred yuan, and three yuan per bag is not too much.But I can't stand the big usage in the future.

Jia Amnesty has already imagined, when will he still have to give Su the smelting of steel, so that the cement can play its true purpose, whether it is building bridges or building houses, can it be used less?But now let alone steel, even the output of iron is only enough to make some weapons, so I am not willing to use it to build houses.

Hearing what he said was reasonable, the emperor also knew that this man wanted to make money with cement at first, but now he got the big money himself, so let him drink some soup.So he generously agreed with Jia Amnesty's idea without saying anything, and added a sentence to himself: "I don't want my half, give it all to your youngest son."

Fearing that the emperor would regret it, Jia Amnesty even solemnly saluted Jia Cong and thanked the emperor for his reward.Although the emperor didn't understand why he was so pretentious about such a trivial matter, he vaguely felt that he had suffered a disadvantage.Counting left and right, I didn't feel that I was losing anything. I just thought that Jia She was irritating those who wanted to buy cement.

When they got home, Jia Amnesty gathered the whole family together and said that he was going to donate the cement prescription: "Don't feel bad, we can't keep this thing by ourselves." Tell him how powerful you are.

Jia Lian understood, but his heart still couldn't stop bleeding.When I heard that Jia She only charged three pennies for a bag of cement, I wondered if my father had been brainwashed by the emperor: "Father, what are you doing with three pennies?"

But Daiyu said from the side: "Brother, don't worry. I heard from the county king that nearly [-] bags of cement were used to build the road from Zhuangzi to the capital alone, which is only [-] to [-] miles away."

Hearing this, Jia Lian was dumbfounded, not knowing, but surprised, this is a worthless business.Jia Amnesty praised Daiyu from head to toe again, applying all of her meticulousness and quick thinking to her, except that she didn't ask when she heard what King Pingjun said.

Even though Sun Yuan was born as a lady, she has stayed in this family for so many years, and she knows very well that her father-in-law doesn't care about rules.What's more, the Pingjun King has always offered a lot to his family members, and he doesn't favor one person over another, as long as he can guarantee that the things he sends will have Daiyu's share.So no one in the room felt that Daiyu's wedding date was set, so there was nothing wrong with meeting King Pingjun.

Jia Amnesty made it clear to the emperor that the emperor had given his share of the income to Jia Cong in person, so as to avoid more money being collected in the future and the separation of brothers.I don't want Jia Lian to feel relieved after hearing this: "Although it was rewarded by the emperor, it can be regarded as what my father earned for Cong'er. It's good, it's good."

Since the cheap son had no objection, Jia Amnesty did not delay any further, and on the third day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, he appeared again in the morning court.A person who was originally not very popular, but the courtiers surrounded him tightly, and the set of close words did not have any repetitions.

This one said: "Ding Guogong is really a role model for my generation, and he came so early in the early court." What about the face?Obviously, he arrived only after others had to stand up, okay?

The other continued: "Master Guo has always been like this, and he is the most magnanimous and kind. I admire him." What I really admire is this man who opened his eyes and told lies. Where did you see Jia She's generosity? kind?

Fortunately, at this time the whip was sounded, otherwise Jia Amnesty would not have known the person these people praised.Because today there is Jia She, a person who doesn't play according to the cards, everyone is afraid that what they say will make him feel unhappy, and they will come up with ideas to attack everyone, and the target of public criticism will definitely become themselves.

Facing such a quiet morning, the emperor didn't know whether he should cry or laugh, he just looked at Jia She, waiting for him to speak.

"My minister, Jia Amnesty, accidentally obtained the method of refining cement. After testing, it can be used in many ways. Such things are not what I should have. I would like to offer this to the Holy One."

The hall was buzzing.

Zhang Qing didn't know at this time that Jia She had asked the emperor for a patent fee of three Wen per bag, so he applauded Jia She's move in his heart. long.With such a Lao Tzu as my nephew, it is certain that he will not be degraded in the future.

There are very few people who can think the same way as Zhang Qing, and most of the courtiers silently asked Jia Amnesty: Are you stupid?This is money, white money.Although officials are not allowed to do business, which one does not have a few shops?Besides, it is said that the thing was produced in Zhuangzi, even if it was not grown, it can be regarded as Zhuangzi's future, right?Stupid, do you really have a grudge against Yin Zi?

The emperor also said that he is a good emperor who does not take advantage of his subjects, and this thing will only be supervised by the Ministry of Industry in the future.Cement can only be produced in places that have been approved by the Ministry of Industry and dispatched by the Ministry of Industry.Those produced privately by the people are all felonies.The cement produced by the Ministry of Industry must be counted. After each bag of cement is produced, the treasury will pay Jia She three Wen as a reward for his contribution.

In the end, the emperor graciously stated that Jia She's own cement-producing Zhuangzi was not included in the production supervision of the Ministry of Industry, and all the production belonged to Jia She himself.The emperor had not told Jia She beforehand, and Jia She secretly praised the emperor in his heart.

After hearing this letter, the courtiers were all thinking in their hearts how to quickly stuff their own people into the Ministry of Industry, and ignored Jia Amnesty's only three Wen per bag, thinking that this move was just the emperor's comfort.

But the emperor didn't give these people the chance to put people in. Just kidding, Zhongping and Zhong'an were dealt with with great difficulty. Could it be that the emperor wanted to cultivate a few more courtiers to fight against him?

In court, the emperor ordered Li Yi, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, to specialize in cement production and be responsible for handing over the people in Jia She's Zhuangzi.At the same time, there was also an imperial decree of rewards, and Cui Xiu, who had made great achievements in experimenting with cement, was exceptionally promoted to the head of the Sixth Grade Industry Department.

Who is Cui Xiu? Everyone said that they had never heard of it, but if it is an exception, it means that this person has no fame. As long as there is no fame, then the reputation is not right.The courtiers thought secretly, but he was just a sixth-rank official with no background, and he couldn't make up his mind if he didn't believe him.

"Your Majesty," it was Jia She who spoke, "Cui Xiu has been in the residence of the minister for a long time, but I know that this person is not good at dealing with people. I also hope that the emperor can understand the six parts. This cement recipe is still immature. Lords, please don’t disturb Cui Xiu to continue her research.”

Drain from the bottom of the pot, but that's all.This Jia Amnesty is too ruthless, does this stop people from dealing with Cui Xiu?The courtiers completely forgot that they had been close to this person before, and scolded him in their hearts.

It's just that the emperor felt that Jia She's words were justified, so he ordered the Ministry of Industry to set aside a special office for Cui Xiu, and personally gave him two pens to learn how to make cement.

Jia Amnesty was relieved to have finally settled the cement business.There is nothing left for him to do, he just needs to wait for the money to be collected.Unexpectedly, joy begets sorrow, and the emperor didn't want to let this labor force go.

As soon as the morning came, there was Xiao Liangzi waiting outside the main hall early, asking Jia Amnesty to stay for a while with a smile on his face: "My lord, the emperor welcomes you."

Even if he wanted to go home to catch up on sleep, Jia Amnesty couldn't say no to the person sent by the emperor at the gate of the main hall. Anyway, he made up his mind that no matter what the emperor said to him again, he would say no.

However, these two words are the most troublesome in the world.When the emperor handed over to Jia Amnesty the [-]-mile express note of the prince of Xining, Jia Amnesty still encountered these two words.

"A change in Beiyi?" Jia Amnesty became anxious when he saw it.He had imagined that Beiyi's loss of Zhong'an would not stop, but he didn't expect him to act now.You know, the people of Beiyi are not fools, they also calculate the casualties when fighting.It's only autumn now, far from a good time for Beiyi to do something.

The emperor only pointed at the desktop: "The news from the Jinyiwei is still earlier, and it is similar to the Xining's excerpt."

This means that it is certain that Beiyi will act, but it is not certain whether it is acting with Xining.

Jia Amnesty was a little puzzled: "The eldest son of Nan'an has already gone to Beijing, where did the Xining family go?"

The emperor said: "We have already passed Xijing, and we will arrive in five or six days sooner."

There is no delay, which is incomprehensible.Ordinarily, the emperor proposed the marriage without even consulting the opinions of the two families. The two families should be dissatisfied, but how can each of them cooperate like this?He said there was nothing tricky in it, but Jia She didn't believe it.

"What did Prince Nan'an say?" the emperor asked.

It turned out that on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Jia Amnesty invited the son of Nan'an to the mansion, and had a secret talk with him for an hour.Listening to the son's wishes, Nan'an felt that he had gotten too close to Zhongping in the early stage, and feared that if he succumbed to the emperor now, he would end up like a dead dog.

The emperor couldn't help but said: "It's not him who led Zhongping, he's gone long ago, so what's the point?"

Jia She also said this to Huo Ting, the eldest son of Nan'an that day, but the eldest son of Nan'an had to be ordered by his father to go to Beijing to find a middleman, but he did not have the right to make decisions, so he had to ask his father for instructions before he could answer Jia She.

"Keep an eye on it." The emperor was also a little tired. There was no end to the day's affairs.
