After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Because the production of cement requires a large amount of limestone, silica rock, etc. as raw materials, it is inevitable to dig mountains to get rocks.

Therefore, the site must be chosen in a place that is convenient for transporting rocks, but not too close to the mountain.Otherwise, using □□ to open up mountains to get stones will definitely have an impact on the cement workshop.

After many investigations, Shi Nai and Yan Jin chose the site of the workshop in a valley twenty miles away from Guishan Mountain.

It just so happens that there are no people living in this place, which saves the trouble of relocating people.

After the site was selected, the two began to divide and cooperate. Shi Nai led the staff from the Ministry of Housing to supervise the construction of the cement workshop; Yan Jin led the staff from the Ministry of Industry to collect raw materials from Guishan and burn them. lime.

This kind of thing is obviously of great merit, Shi Nai naturally will not leave Hu Zhan behind.Because Hu Zhan was good at calculating, Shi Nai asked him to bring in two foreign men to take charge of accounts.

In addition, Zhongshan Bao, the secretary of the Qing Dynasty in Henan Province, brought a Yuanwailang and a master to supervise the workshops of civilian husbands.

As for Shi Nai himself, he was specifically in charge of arguing with the Minister of the Household Department, using the banner of the sixth prince and a sage to get more funds.

Anyway, after the cement is produced, it will definitely increase revenue for the treasury.

Which department manages the treasury?

Tobe!

The investment at this moment is only for greater returns in the future, so why not do it?

It's just that Shi Nai didn't expect that the sage, who is always good-looking, would be so shameless this time, and directly picked the fruit for the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

To be honest, Shi Nai and Yan Jin were dumbfounded until Prince Chun, who was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, came to take over the cement workshop.If Prince Chun hadn't held the imperial decree in his hand, Yan Jin would have pushed him back.

Shi Nai's teeth itch with hatred for Prince Jin's demeanor of winning over a cheap and good-looking villain.

——Just wait for me, and I will take root in the household department.When the imperial court collects the money owed by the national treasury in the future, I will definitely come to visit you personally, and then have a good talk with you!

But in any case, the imperial decree has been issued, and this matter cannot be changed.When Shi Nai thought about it, the countless money that was supposed to go to the treasury had grown wings and flew to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When he left Guishan, he was clutching his chest.

It hurts!

Isn't the sage going to renovate the garden?The Ministry of Internal Affairs is so rich, the sage can use the money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Don't even think about touching the little bit in the national treasury!

However, he wasn't completely useless.At least, Yan Jin listened to his persuasion and found an imperial doctor who specializes in miscellaneous diseases.

The imperial doctor was really capable, and prescribed a medicine for him. After he drank it, he vomited out two catties of worms, which frightened himself.

The imperial doctor said: "Xu Deng, a famous minister in the Three Kingdoms period, suffered from this disease. Mr. Yan is familiar with history books, so he should be a warning."

Yan Jin was stunned for a while, "Yan always thought that it was just a fabrication, and it wasn't enough to win the trust."

——After all, there are clear records in the history books that people in the Tang Dynasty loved fish stew.The Tang Dynasty was so close to the Three Kingdoms, if the story of Xu Deng was true, how would the Tang people dare to eat it?

The imperial physician shook his head, "Master Yan, you should not take it in the future. If you insist on taking this medicine for the first half year, it won't affect your lifespan. But if Master Yan takes it again, there is nothing I can do."

Seeing this two-pound worm, why would Yan Jin not believe it?Dangji swore to answer.

As soon as the imperial physician left, Yan Jin wiped his cold sweat and said to Shi Nai: "Thanks to Nai'er for your persistence, otherwise, I would not have known it myself."

Shi Nai hurriedly said: "My nephew also saw something in the history books, just be cautious. Uncle doesn't blame my nephew for messing around."

"Eh? What nonsense is this? This saved my life!" Yan Jin gave him a reproachful look, and then asked, "What do you think about the fact that the sage asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take over the cement?"

what idea?Of course, it's heartbreaking to bleed!

——That's all money!The money that should have gone into the national treasury and belonged to their household department!

In front of Yan Jin, Shi Nai didn't hide it anymore, he said "hehe" twice, and gritted his teeth, "Thunderstorm and rain dew are all due to your kindness. My nephew dare not have any ideas."

Seeing this, Yan Jin couldn't help shaking his head, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "When we go back and meet the saint, don't show such a look. The saint has his own considerations in doing things, and you are still young." , inevitably impulsive."

Yan Jin paused, and lowered his voice a bit: "The sage sent you here. Most of the people in the court thought that this matter would fall on the head of the household department. The latex paint has seen the results. But the saint gave the fruit to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, thinking in his heart, he must feel guilty towards you. But if you show resentment... the saint is also a human being, and he will inevitably become angry from embarrassment."

These words can be said to be really heart-pounding. If Huanxi is really close, who would tell you this?Although Shi Nai understood this truth in his previous life, he still sincerely thanked him: "Thank you for your teaching, Uncle."

Seeing that he really restrained the resentment on his face, Yan Jin nodded in satisfaction: "You can teach me!"

While feeling relieved, he regretted in his heart: Why don't my two nephews have this understanding?

When the two returned to the capital, they bid farewell to Zhuque Street for a while, went home to wash off the dust, and went to the palace together to face the saint.

The sage also knew that what he did was not kind, and he was very kind to them, especially Shi Nai.After encouraging the two of them, they were given three days off and rewarded with a bunch of things before letting them go back.

Shi Nai didn't say anything, thanked him and left.

After leaving the palace gate, Yan Jin said leisurely: "It just so happens that tomorrow there will be a poetry meeting on a painting boat on the Xiliu River. Nai'er, do you want to go with me?"

Shi Nai hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't tell me, don't hurt me."

Yan Jin reassured: "Don't worry, it's just a meeting between literati, and it's not called Fantouer."

——Yan Jin thought that he was afraid that Xiaoqi would go out to mess around and be ginned by others.

Shi Nai smiled wryly and said: "Uncle is a man, my nephew naturally believes in it. However, my nephew has devoted all her energy to reading since she was a child on military books and miscellaneous books. My nephew really can't do poetry and so on. ah!"

"Forget it then." Yan Jin felt regretful, "I wanted to take you with me to meet a few great Confucian scholars."

"Uncle's kindness, my nephew appreciates it. However, my nephew won't embarrass my uncle."

Those great Confucians are all first-class in their poetry and articles.But character...hehe, it's uneven.

There are those who are as knowledgeable as Confucius, and there are those who are arrogant and look down on martial arts like Jia Zheng.

Who knows what kind of Confucianism Yan Jin mentioned?Shi Naike has no interest in sending it to someone's door.

"Forget it, then you can go back by yourself, I'll go to the bookstore to have a look."

When Shi Nai returned home, Yan saw that he had been rewarded by a sage again, and felt honored and very happy.

Shi Nai also didn't want to say that those annoying things in the court would spoil her mood, so he just let her caress each treasure bestowed by the emperor fondly.

——This time, the sage really gave a lot of good things.

However, these things are created above and cannot be sold or given as gifts.What's more, in order to prevent accidental damage, you have to choose something that can withstand beatings, such as root carvings.

As for the others, they have to be put into the warehouse to collect ashes.

To sum up, Shi Nai didn't think there was anything to be happy about receiving these rewards.

But he could only think about this in his heart, and if he dared to say it, even if the saint didn't pursue it, those who listened would spit on his face.

——The reward of a saint, can it be measured by value?That is glory!

Therefore, Shi Nai felt that he should take advantage of the rest and study hard.

Because of the age when the system was created, 12 years of education was implemented, and cultural knowledge below high school was within the "common sense", and Shi Nai also had a preliminary understanding of that knowledge.

As for proficiency, after all, I didn't learn it hard by myself, so I don't feel deeply.

Isn't he on duty in the Ministry of Households now? Among other things, the subject of "mathematics" is very useful to him.

So, he thought, relying on the memory in his mind, he has learned a lot of advanced mathematics in later generations, which can be regarded as an additional skill.

For him to take the initiative to learn, the system strongly agrees, and says that if there is something he doesn't understand, he can ask him.

"If the host needs it, the system can apply to the main system to replace the host's future task rewards with advanced mathematics materials."

Shi Nai laughed dryly: "Let's wait until I have learned everything in compulsory education."

"Okay." The system was very disappointed, with disappointment in his tone.

Shi Nai thought to himself: The System Immortal is really becoming more and more like a person.

Shi Nai discovered that as long as one understands the basic calculation rules, mathematics is quite interesting, and solving various calculations is much more useful than Zheye's Four Books and Five Classics.

He felt that if he had studied for two years, he would have entered the Ministry of Industry with the most technical skills, and he would not be afraid.

In a blink of an eye, the three-day holiday passed.The day Shi Nai sold out his leave coincided with the Great Court Meeting. w Moreover, the saint also mentioned the renovation of the lion garden at the super meeting.

The saint's internal treasury has been filled with armaments over the years, and there is not much savings left.Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs has cut off the cement, it can be produced first. It must be used for border defense and repair of imperial roads, and there will be no profit in a short time.

Therefore, the meaning of the sage is to embezzle some from the treasury first and return it later.

However, everyone knows how watery the phrase "return it later" is.

For a moment, the Sixth Prince's face was like black charcoal, and Bu Shangshu looked like a bitter melon.

Shi Nai's eyes lit up: It's time for revenge!

"Saint, I have this performance." Shi Nai jumped out holding the wat.

The saint's eyelids twitched, and for some reason, a bad premonition rose in his heart.But in public, he can't block the way of speech and prevent officials from speaking.

"Say."

Shi Nai didn't talk about the virtues of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to persuade him. He just calculated a detailed account for the sage and told the sage: How much silver is left in the treasury now, and what is expected to be used this year? How much is used for dating, and how much is added up.

In short, at the end of the day, not only was there not enough money in the national treasury, but there was also a shortfall of nearly 50.

It was Xu's first time to see this kind of operation, Man Chaowen and Wu were dumbfounded.

The sage was also stunned for a while, and asked with some toothache: "Then according to Shiqing, I can't move the money in the treasury?"

"I can't move." Shi Nai shook his head firmly.Moreover, he also said shamelessly, "If the saint is willing to fill in some more, that would be even better."

——This is clearly reaching out to ask for money from his internal treasury!

Saint laughed.
