The Second Master of the Red Chamber

What Jia Lian needs to care most about is his work. The reason why the emperor transferred him to the Ministry of Industry, he knows very well, it is definitely not to let him become Jia Zheng's boss, to give him any blows, that is simply Nothing necessary, no need to waste time and experience.

Guns are never things that you want to research, and you can quickly produce results. If you just face research problems, that’s all. It’s inevitable, but if it’s because someone doesn’t like it or something , that is really unbearably depressing.

With such an official position, he didn't have much chance to go up to the court to listen to the dissatisfaction of those old scholars, but the dispute in the Ministry of Industry already made him feel uncontrollably irritable.

"A musket is easy to cause danger, not a good thing!" Jia Lian couldn't help but feel his brain hurt when he heard the old man's words.

It's a pity that no matter how upset he is, he still has to hold back his temper, and said with a smile, "A knife, if it's used to cut vegetables, is just a tool in the hands of a chef. It is a good thing; but if a murderer uses a knife to kill someone, then such a thing is not good."

"There is no distinction between good and evil. The difference is that the person who holds it is good or evil." Jia Lian still hopes that the voice of opposition will not be too loud. The emperor still cannot completely follow his own temper. One day, the voice of opposition was too strong, and the emperor gave up, and his life was definitely not easy.

In order to ensure the safety of his own life, he has to convince others, at least let most people understand, "A musket is the same as a knife. If it is used for killing, it is naturally not a good thing, but if it is just borrowed, it will be the same as the other side." It’s like a knife for cutting vegetables, but it’s just a tool.”

"What's more, the west already has muskets. If I don't study these things in the court, if one day they bully me, how can I resist them?" Jia Lian mentioned these things casually, hoping to generate a little sense of crisis.

It's a pity that the others haven't said much yet, and Jia Zheng has already spoken first, "How can the ignorant barbarians from the West come to our court?"

Jia Lian really wants to despise you, you are the most ignorant fool, it doesn't matter if you are stupid, do you still want to ask others to be a fool with you? "Now they are here too." Not to mention those missionaries, those who do business with me in Guangdong and Fujian and send me money, did they fall from the sky?

It's a pity that this didn't bring them any sense of crisis. Instead, some old scholars felt, "People in the West are ignorant, so it's better not to allow them to step into our territory." They still thought in their hearts, as long as they don't let When they come, we still care about whether there are guns or not. The celestial dynasty is a big country, with a vast land and abundant resources, so there is no need to learn the obscene skills of Xiyi.

After hearing such words, Jia Lian couldn't help but have a stomachache. What's the matter, is he going to close the country?Do you think that your coastline has anti-theft doors, and if you don’t let them in, they won’t come in. If you don’t let them in, they have guns and cannons, and they directly blast open your door, even if you are an anti-theft door, it’s useless.

For these unreasonable people, there is no need to waste more words with them. Even if they did, they would find all kinds of reasons, and instead let things develop in a place he didn't want. That's absolutely No way.Jia Lian simply shut up and just kept his head down to work. As long as his things are taken out and used in Feng Ziying's army, after seeing the results, I don't believe these old gentlemen can still be stubborn.

On the side of the emperor, he couldn't help being irritable, "Where is the household department?" If you don't have money, you will cry poorly to me. Okay, since the treasury has no money, why don't you people who owe me money quickly pay back the money? ah?If you really have no money, why do you still build such a big garden, it can almost catch up with the Royal Garden!

It's a pity that no matter what he thinks, people's gardens are still being built. If the emperor wants to allocate money for high-tech things, he still has to use the money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to sell glass. Fortunately, this is still considered a monopoly industry. The income is still very visible.The only point is that all the money of the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot be spent on the emperor's scientific research projects. It should mainly be spent on the emperor himself and the emperor's wives, and that definitely takes up the main part.

The emperor doesn't feel sorry for the money spent on himself, he is the emperor, and he can't be taken lightly, but he can't help but feel depressed when he spends it on his wives, why can't he have a virtuous wife, say something for tailoring What about the degree?Women, it really costs too much.

Xue Pan still didn't feel anything, but Mrs. Xue had a similar feeling, "Why is the money in this account spent so quickly?" Although Xue Pan is nominally the head of the Xue family, many Matters, such as checking the accounts, still need to be studied by Madam Xue. If you only rely on Xue Pan, then there may be nothing left in this family.

The stewards naturally believed that every sum of money had a source, "It was paid by the uncle to build a garden for the empress."

Mrs. Xue was speechless all of a sudden. Although the money was spent a bit too much, her daughter must come back. A lot, prices are soaring, for those good things, they still can't save.

Unlike Xue's family who think women are good at spending money, the women of Jia's family can't help but make men feel that they are really good at making money.

"This account?" Jia Lian didn't care about the money in the family. Ever since he knew that there was no shortage of money in the house, he became a hands-off shopkeeper. Although he is Xu Hui's housekeeper now, Mrs. Zhang often raises some money. I still live a very good life, but people can't help being surprised that the account has suddenly increased by such a large sum.

Xu Hui glanced at her slightly, her body was a little heavier, and sometimes she would feel sluggish, "This, but Ning Fu brought us together to make money." She said with a smile.

"Ning's Mansion?" Jia Lian was confused, since when did the family have such a skill, why didn't Jia Rong mention it to him?

Xu Hui immediately explained, "It's Rong'er's wife."

At this moment, Jia Lian instantly understood that Wang Xifeng is of course a person who can make money, but it is not good to worry about the money she makes.Jia Lian felt that she should ask, "How did she come up with a way to make money?"

Xu Hui said with a smile, "Speaking of which, none of us can compare to her sharpness."

Jia Lian immediately acted as a listener, looking forward to finding out what was going on. Xu Hui said, "During this period of time, Beijing is busy building a garden. Rong's daughter-in-law's hands are extremely fast. From the very beginning when the news came out, she made up her mind and went to the south to import a lot of wood into Beijing. This actually borrowed a little manpower from our house. When she told us, we all thought it was good. So we made a partner."

"Who would have thought that so many people want to build gardens at this moment, and Rong's daughter-in-law is also cruel. The price of those wood materials may have increased by more than five times." Xu Hui still admired Wang Xifeng a little bit in her heart. Money matters.

When Jia Lian heard it, she was not happy at all. Making money like this is nothing. I can only say that Wang Xifeng has a good vision and a smart head. He can think of such a method and find the right person, "No wonder this month To be able to make such a large sum of money, it’s just that this kind of thing takes too much thought, if she tells you, you can just participate in it, and you don’t have to bother thinking about this way of making money.”

It's not a difficult time for them now, and Xu Hui is even pregnant, so there is really no need to think about such a mess.

In the Ningguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng took advantage of this kind of thing to shoot a very loud shot. Needless to say, You Shi was already very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, but now the more he watched it, the more satisfied he became, and he even said to Jia Rong , "Let's see, I'll say you married the right wife." She can be regarded as an excellent person who can control the inside of the family, but when it comes to things outside, she still has to rely on men, but when it comes to Wang Xifeng, that person is more powerful than her and Jia Rong combined. The only regret now is that Wang Xifeng is not pregnant yet.

Jia Rong also admired this daughter-in-law in her heart. It is nothing to be able to make money. He already knew that she had some skills, but she was able to make money with Rongfu, and she succeeded. It can be seen that she also has some plans, not just knowing Reckless.

Wang Xifeng was still gentle and careless towards Jia Rong, "I'm just giving it a try, who would have thought it would be possible? This is also thanks to the help of Second Aunt Lian, who thinks my idea is a success, otherwise, I would be Once you have an idea, you don’t have the ability to do such a thing.”

Jia Rong knew in her heart that she was being modest, but she didn't show anything on her face, she just smiled and said, "It's because of your hard work." He will never forget what Jia Lian said at the beginning. Don't let her feel that she can suppress you, otherwise, she is too capable and easy to cause trouble.

In Wang Xifeng's heart, she was not dissatisfied with the fact that she had earned such a large amount of money, but she knew better that as a daughter-in-law, she still had to keep a low profile and behave low-key.However, earning money from Xue's family has already made her very happy and satisfied, and other things are nothing even if they don't care about them.

The author has something to say: I myself can only spend money, when will I learn to make money?
