The Lonely Family in the Red Chamber

Because of the blending of the two concubines, He Yu's original plan was extremely unsuccessful. Moreover, Emperor Chengqing had checked the list of many beautiful women, and had already handed over the candidates he was optimistic about to the two concubines. Guarantee that as long as these people have no problems, at least they must pass the primary election, and it is best to pass the secondary election, and then let Tu Jingnian choose by himself.

Emperor Chengqing is now in the stage of seeing anyone better than the queen, secretly regretting that he had chosen such a daughter-in-law for his son who was not of a good background and thought too much, so he wished to make up for his son immediately and give it to him as soon as possible. The son is looking for a beauty who is noble, gentle and submissive, who can add fragrance to his red sleeves. Of course, it is best to be capable, know how to advance and retreat, and can help his son take care of the harem and so on.Therefore, there are quite a lot of people he has settled on.After the primary election, He Yu was out of breath when he saw the list of girls who had passed.

What kind of vision did Emperor Chengqing have? Although he couldn't personally see what she looked like, it didn't mean that he couldn't know what she looked like. Therefore, the people he reserved were really fat and thin. , Chunlan Qiuju, each is good at its own development, especially, each of them is from a high family background, let alone the daughter of the princess princess family, this kind of clan is considered to be a clan, with no real power, and there are many daughters and granddaughters of important ministers' families, and It was the father and grandfather who had a relatively high reputation outside. Looking at the family background of these people, He Yu felt uncomfortable for a while.

Suffering is uncomfortable, Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu also said that they are also people who can't be the masters, but they just follow the emperor's will.What's more, women are always jealous. When Emperor Chengqing was in power, not to mention the beauties who were elected every three years, even the maids who were elected by the small elections were not without grace. There are newcomers every year, and they just occupy high positions. When it comes to holy favors, it is not as good as every year. If it wasn't for Emperor Chengqing's health becoming ill later, he began to think of these old people who have been with them for many years. Let's talk together or something.

As a result, He Yu, ever since she became the crown princess, the East Palace has nothing against her. Finally, Emperor Chengqing pointed at two people, but the crown prince himself didn't like it very much. Jingnian has ascended the throne, not to mention the fourth concubine, even the nine concubines are not full, the queen is living like this, and she is still not satisfied, these two people don't know what to say!Seeing her like this, the two also wanted to see her joke.Anyway, at their age, they have nothing to ask for, their daughters are all married, not to mention, how their daughters live, one depends on the emperor, but on themselves, so they have nothing to ask for from the queen. Willing to squeeze He Yu overtly and secretly.

He Yu had never fought with these people who had been in the palace for many years. Naturally, she lost a lot. When the re-election was over, most of the people she didn't want to stay still stayed.

After the re-election was over, Tu Jingnian also had to show his face. He had no intention of keeping too many people down. After thinking about it, he selected a few beauties for the Shoukang Palace according to Emperor Chengqing's aesthetics, and gave a few beauties of the right age. After the younger brother has chosen the princess, he is waiting for them to get married and move out of the palace.

As for Tu Jingnian's own harem, there are seven or eight people left behind. Of course, the positions of the first seals are not high. One of them, and the lowest one is also Baolin. Liu Baolin and Wang Baolin from the original two East Palaces were promoted and both became talents.

Although the position of the first seal is not high, these people's backgrounds are not low. Baolin, who is the lowest, has a grandfather from the third rank in the family, and his father is also a magistrate of the same place, which is actually comparable to the empress back then.

When the newcomers entered the palace, Tu Jingnian would naturally be lucky in order according to their status. He Yu stamped the history of Tong every day, and now several people in the palace were almost qualified to greet the queen. He Yu read every day Looking at these young and beautiful newcomers, even though they actually look quite respectful, in her eyes, they are all showing off to her old and yellow queen.

He Yu's heart became more and more aggrieved, and it was born from his heart. Gradually, he looked a little bitter and mean. Tu Jingnian wanted to talk to her, but in the end, He Yu's face was full of that he was right or wrong. They all look like other people, so Tu Jingnian has nothing to say, and the relationship between the emperor and empress has dropped to a freezing point.

The emperor and the empress were almost at odds, and it did not affect the affairs of the court. The reforms promoted by Tu Jingnian were making steady progress, and incentive and reward mechanisms for craftsmen were introduced one after another, and those craftsmen who were stimulated did not live up to Tu Jingnian's expectations. All kinds of useful, useless, and weird things have been invented. Tu Jingnian took the opportunity to set up a patent office to provide patent protection for various inventions. In addition, he got the six ministries to cooperate and launched the first "Patent Act". Patent owners provide legal protection, and they can profit from patents. Of course, the duration of patent protection is limited. For general patents, the time to profit through this is only five years. After five years, patents for civil use will be issued to Society let go.For special patents, the protection period will be longer, but the longest will not exceed ten years.However, this is only for the inside of Dajin. For the outside world, whoever wants to license or purchase patents will have to pay a high price.

In this era of explosive development of emerging technologies, five or ten years is enough for more advanced technologies to emerge.For many craftsmen who don't even know a few words, they may not understand what a patent is, but the person who interprets Dibao told them that with this patent law, if they come up with something new, You can directly apply for a patent. When the time comes, whoever wants to copy it will have to pay them. If you don't pay, then you can sue him at the Yamen.

The emergence of the Patent Office, although some old masters lamented that the world is declining and people's hearts are not old, but it has given many scholars a new way out. The yamen under the name of the Ministry of Industry, of course, had to pass an examination in advance, and the content of the examination was nothing more than the "Patent Act".All of a sudden, major booksellers stepped up their efforts to print the "Patent Act" and spread it in stores all over the country. The new hydraulic printing technology has successfully reduced the cost of books to double digits. In the shop, you can buy a well-printed and beautifully packaged book for less than [-] yuan. Even this "Three Character Classic" may not be available for purchase.

Before those booksellers had time to protest, the "Copyright Law" came out again. Except for those whose authors have passed away for many years, those who want to publish some collections of poems and essays have to pay royalties to the authors.Of course, if the bookseller is not optimistic about your book, you can also publish it at your own expense and be responsible for your own profits and losses. That is a transaction between you and the bookseller.As for those collections with many people, you have to pay the writers a pen fee, that is, a manuscript fee. Every year in the imperial examination, the official will publish a batch of outstanding articles, with comments from the chief examiner. These scholars and examiners You can get a pen.Of course, if you want to publish these things, you must first obtain the publishing qualifications, especially those anthologies that will be listed in the imperial examination. Then you have to go to the Ministry of Finance to buy the qualifications. Everything is clearly priced, whether you want to buy it or not !

In short, the emergence of copyright law has increased the source of income for many people. To be honest, there are already many professional writers these days. Otherwise, how did those legendary stories come about?It's just that, these days, without copyright protection, this stuff doesn't make money.It’s all handwritten with a brush these days, and you can write a few words a day. You’ve worked hard for half a year, and after handing it over to a cooperating bookseller, it’s just a pitiful retouching fee.Moreover, booksellers themselves may not be able to make a lot of money. This shop just released some fresh books, and within a few days, pirated copies from other shops came out. There are not many literate people these days, and books are relatively expensive. Where can they sell them? How many copies do you get? After the "Copyright Law" comes out, things will be easy to handle. Your copyright, others want to publish, and the one with the highest price will get it. If anyone doesn't give you the money, it is a pirated copy. Report, after verification, wait to be fined and bankrupt!

As soon as the "Copyright Law" came out, Tu Jingnian and his clan had already set up an Imperial Capital Publishing House, which directly bought the qualification to publish the anthology of the imperial examination for ten years, which made a group of booksellers a step behind I can't stop jumping.The clan wanted to imitate things like the Royal Military Academy before, and put on the name of the royal family, but Tu Jingnian refused. This kind of trivial thing, also put on the name of the royal family, really It’s too cheap, but Tu Jingnian was thinking about creating a Royal Bank in the future, but the time has not yet come. When will the royal family have a gold mine and silver mine under their own name? Besides, as long as there is enough gold With silver reserves and certain anti-counterfeiting technology, the establishment of a bank is a matter of course.

The current actions of the imperial court are dazzling. The Ministry of Finance is hugging money from ear to ear. Lin Ruhai has just become the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting. He is envied by countless people. He is also in pain and happiness. It also aroused the greed of some people. Although Lin Ruhai himself could not be said to be as clean as water, he never took what he shouldn't.After all, his family is rich, but he is only Lin Daiyu's daughter so far, and he doesn't want to adopt a family member. It's just an idea to recruit a son-in-law. She was very loose, which made Lin Ruhai quite worried. She was fine when she was around, but after she was gone, Lin Daiyu couldn't keep the Lin family's property. What if her son-in-law took over her property instead?In this way, Lin Ruhai naturally didn't dare to offend others casually, and started to get along with each other, turning a blind eye to the following things.

How could Tu Jingnian not know this? When Lin Ruhai was in the post of Xunyan Yushi, the situation was critical at that time, and if he didn't pay attention, he would be smashed to pieces. Those who underestimated him were suppressed by him quietly, and now they have achieved the position of Minister of the Household Department and entered the cabinet. Instead, they want to be a rare and confused person. This kind of thing, but when I was in the cabinet, I suddenly pretended to think of it casually, and then said: "Speaking of which, Lin Qing's family seems to have a daughter?"

Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment. In the eyes of outsiders, Tu Jingnian had never been a lustful person. Moreover, since Lin Ruhai brought his daughter back, he thought of how Yue's family almost ruined his daughter's innocence. Mammy came over, detained Lin Daiyu, and let her live in seclusion, especially since Lin Daiyu didn't have a female elder to guide her, so naturally she couldn't enter the social circle of noble women in Beijing. They just went to get together at their own house. When the second wife of Jia's family was expelled and several honorable families suffered changes of varying severity, even this was missing. Lin Daiyu hardly had any reputation outside. Where did you hear it?

Lin Ruhai is a smart person, and smart people tend to think too much, so he began to worry that someone would trip him up, and said cautiously: "The sage clearly saw that I only had a daughter when I was not confused. I can only raise the little girl as a kid, just to relieve loneliness!"

Tu Jingnian laughed: "Is Lin Qing afraid that I will rob your beloved daughter?"

Lin Ruhai hurriedly said: "I dare not!"

Tu Jingnian smiled and said: "The daughter of Lin Qing's family seems to have reached the age of Ji, has she ever engaged in a marriage?"
