[Plane] History of the struggle of the lords

The temperature in Fuchun is suitable for all seasons, and it is actually the most suitable place for silkworm rearing.

The two large silkworm huts, Wenle, have long been equipped with geothermal heating. As long as the kitchens are open every day, the temperature in the silkworm huts will not drop below [-] degrees in winter.As for the summer, it is better to solve it. The cool room can definitely control the temperature if it is well ventilated.

Gu Yu, the little girl under Webster's subordinates, knows how to raise silkworms, so Wen Le asked her to rest early in the morning to take care of her apprentices.Before the silkworm seedlings arrived at Fuchun, they had already taken their positions. From the second the silkworm eggs were transported back to Laohou's mansion, everyone started to get busy in an orderly manner.

This is the industrial chain. Sericulture, silk dyeing, weaving and embroidery, if done well, are great things that benefit people's livelihood.

Wen Le gave a simile very generously, and Feng Guyu was the female silkworm of Fuchun County.

Once the news was made public, it almost caused an uproar.

Since the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there has never been a history of setting up female officials in the Central Plains. When the men in the county heard that a woman was an official, they were immediately dumbfounded.

Among them, Mai Lingtong was the most courageous, and after a long time of deliberation, he tremblingly came to Wen Le to offer his opinion.

Wen Le almost laughed angrily when he heard him yelling angrily and hesitantly that hen Sichen Yuezu had made a noise all morning.

"Mai Lingtong, why are you so small-minded? You say you are too old to be prudent. How can I entrust you to do things in the future?"

Mai Lingtong was extremely wronged: "My lord! Since ancient times, there has been no reason for women to be in politics!"

Wen Le didn't take it seriously: "You are transparent when you are Wu Zetian? This official title is still picked from the ancestors."

Mai Lingtong stammered and didn't know how to refute, but he was full of unwillingness.Where in this world is there any reason for a woman to ride on top of a man?A woman's ignorance is virtue. A woman is decent when she embroiders and cooks in the house at home, and she is an official when she comes out to show her face! ?

How does this make men feel about themselves?

Wen Le sighed with disappointment on his face: "Old Mai, let me say what you want to say about you. I thought you could understand me, but I didn't expect you to be exactly the same as those shallow bastards... Why do you treat me as me?" Make her an official? The people in Fuchun County are poor and white, and the people can’t even wear a pair of shoes. As a parent official, I don’t think I’m in a hurry? Gu Yu knows how to raise silkworms. I’m her master, so I can order her Do things for me. But you have to know that she is not a little woman who can take care of such a big county. If I don't give her some benefits, how can she do things for me wholeheartedly?"

Mai Lingtong also felt that it made sense, but he was still a little awkward: "Then...that wouldn't make her an official..." The next few words sounded like mosquitoes.

Wen Le simply can't be bothered to care about this group of funny comparisons, they are all raised by their parents, and to seal a woman as an official is to die, what if it is his own mother?Make sure that there will be a dozen firecrackers at the gate.Isn't it a matter of interest?I really can't bear to watch it so obscenely.

However, Wen Le still wanted to appease her: "Fool, is it so easy for you to be a good person? I gave her an official position, and she didn't have a title. It's just a nice name. Aren't her silkworm farmers also women? Can she control you or not?" Got your wife? You are the one talking about eating radish and worrying about it. If I don’t tell her to calm down and do things, will you be the one to start the weaving workshop or the embroidery workshop in the future?!”

Mai Lingtong was persuaded, wiped his tears and kowtowed: "It's the official who wanted to go wrong, please forgive me."

Wen Le patted his head: "You are also only thinking about my reputation, and blame you for what you did. I know that I don't know how many people will scold me in the future, but we are doing practical things, and it's nothing to be wronged."

Mai Lingtong was full of admiration, this is really the parent officer!Although he didn't have that much courage, when he took the imperial examination, who didn't have lofty ambitions in his heart?It's just that life has smoothed the edges and corners and polished his fighting spirit, but this does not stop him from admiring people who are truly courageous.

Master Wen San used to be in charge of the salt administration in Lianghuai, isn't that lucrative enough?There are almost no officials there who are not greedy, but when it comes to Mr. Wen, who is countless times more honest in comparison, he has to sincerely praise him with Huai Jin holding Yu.He did offend many people because of his clean and honest relationship, but the key point is that the third master is very good at talking, so even if he often has conflicts of interest with others, he can still make people hate him.

It makes sense for Mai Lingtong to ask Wen Le to say this.The official title of female silkworm has actually appeared since the Shang Dynasty, but it was quickly lost in the torrent of history.Wen Le gave such a title this time, at most, it would make this woman have face and confidence to say it out. She has no real power, and she can't control herself.

On another occasion, he came to his senses and asked with some surprise: "My lord just said weaving workshops and embroidery workshops? What does that mean?"

Wen Le clapped his hands together, and smiled happily seeing his crying red eyes: "It's literally. What do you think I'm going to do to raise silkworms? Old Mai, I'm giving you power, why can't you see it?" Do you understand?"

Mai Lingtong repeated in a daze: "Delegate power to the lower officials? Is it possible that the Sir is going to do silk weaving business?"

Wen Le said: "What else? I was focused on promoting you, but I didn't expect you to be the first to make a fuss and be unhappy. I was just crying because of you, and my head hurts."

Mai Lingtong didn't know what to say, and was curious in his heart, so he had to stand up to please Wen Le and pour tea, and asked cautiously: "My lord... My lord has a reason to do things, but I just want to It’s just that the officials are dull. But the counties around Fuchun haven’t heard that there is a shortage of fabrics and satins. If they have to be transported thousands of miles to the capital of Lianghuai for sale, the cost will be unimaginably high.”

Wen Le scolded: "Fool, do you think I'm dealing with those foreigners blindly? These yellow-haired people are very rich in their pockets. If you trade with them for good-quality silk weaving, you can guarantee that a piece of cloth can be exchanged for it." An ingot of gold!"

Mai Lingtong was taken aback: "One...one ingot of gold!?"

"Things are rare and expensive! That's what I said. Those yellow-haired people's hometowns don't produce this thing. It's a rare thing. Gold, which country doesn't have a few nobles? When it really needs to save face, someone always takes it." from."

Mai Lingtong was stunned. What is the concept of an ingot of gold?It's not a matter of a day or two for Fu Chun to be poor, and even a corrupt official like Da Chunyi didn't leave much behind.Not to mention McIntosh.Although he is in charge of business, he has never touched gold ingots a few times since he was a child. He has encountered many silver ingots, but they only appeared when they were melted and paid taxes.Life in remote county towns is always much more difficult.

Seeing Wen Le's swearing, he didn't dare to neglect at all, and his mind was full of thinking about exchanging gold.

At a time like this, who cares whether a female officer is a female officer or not!In order to make money, he had to speak for the newly appointed female official when he went out, and she was wearing a gold ingot that had a lot to do with him!Gold ingots!

Mai Lingtong left in a hurry. This guy loves money so much that it is unbelievable. It is for this reason that Wen Instrument respects him, but dare not trust him.

In fact, in the final analysis, except for the soldiers he brought, he couldn't use many local officials in Fuchun without any grudges.The only thing he likes more is Dala who does practical research on farming every day.Although Dala is a distant relative of Da Chunyi, he is a completely different person from Da Chunyi. Although he can't speak sweetly like Mai Lingtong, Wen Le understands his efforts in his heart.What he wants to get down most now is Hongda Mountain, which is still dying as the county magistrate of Jianzhou.

He has never been able to like Hong Dashan, and there is no way to ask Bu Sanniang to calm his mind.From the very beginning, this kid made himself look bad with a big banner, and later he easily betrayed his brother-in-law because of a woman. He is lustful and gambling, and there is almost no merit in doing things.However, he still can't catch his complete fault now, Wen Le can only let Wen Run's Tianji go to help him first, and then find an opportunity to replace him.

When Gu Yu heard the news, she was stunned in shock.Including Wen Run and Wei Shi, no one thought that Wen Le would suddenly issue such an order.Although Wen Le jokingly said that he wanted to make Wei Shi an official when he was in Dadu, Wei Shi really didn't think that he would really have the guts to make a woman an official title.

Webster is in a hurry, she knows how small-minded men are, isn't Wen Le making a woman an official, is he against the men?

Gu Yu accepted the order, knelt on the ground in a daze for half an hour, then jumped up from the ground, no matter how heavy her dress was, she almost flew up.

God!God!Since Gu Yu became a slave, she never thought about what to do with her future.People with their identities cannot marry independently, and their lives are not their own. Most of them spend their lives doing nothing.But the lord... the lord actually made her an official!

Gu Yu returned to the silkworm house, turned a deaf ear to the congratulatory congratulations, locked herself in the innermost small room, bent her knees and buried her head in sobs.

She is in her 30s and still does not have a husband.She still vaguely remembers the picture of her family selling her to a child when she was young.Unexpectedly, after being sold out by his father who only dreamed of getting rich all these years, he became the only grandparent in the family who became an official!What an irony!

Gu Yu laughed while crying, staring at the squirming silkworm seedlings inside the bamboo weaving, picked up the soft brush on the shelf, and gently moved the silkworm to another green leaf.She stared at the immature white and fat insect seedlings on the mulberry leaves, the original bewilderment and ecstasy gradually mixed in her heart, and settled into a thought that was enough to make her fight for it all her life——she was for herself , You must also live out your own personality!

At the same time, Fuchunnei started to build a factory in full swing.

The factory is Wen Le's term, in fact, it is to make a few very simple ones.There is no need to build a long house even for the compartments. It needs to be tall and spacious, with enough ventilation holes and waterproofing.It is much more convenient than the beauty, layout and various requirements required by the Gai house.

However, privacy still needs to be guaranteed. The distance between the factories is quite far, including the walls, and the unused space outside the factory must be used for other purposes.As for what to put on the wall... It was Wen Le's own mind.

These factory buildings are used for silk weaving and casting in the future, and those idle blank areas can be used to dry colored cloth and the like. In fact, Wen Le and Wen Run arranged to dig a lot of cellars underground.

In the beginning, manpower was a big problem, because Wen Le didn't want to cut off all the people who knew the inside story like those emperors who needed to cast tombs in ancient times, they were just innocent craftsmen.

Later, he was still gentle and clever, and many death row prisoners were held in the prison in Fuchun County.Among them are sea bandits who were caught burning, killing, and looting along the coast, Japanese pirates who traveled across the ocean to do evil, bandits who seized hills, etc. The number is quite considerable.Most of these people are heinous and have already set their punishments. It's just that the court's order to deal with them has not come down for a long time, so they have been kept in prison for nothing.

Interrogate them one by one, pull out the really heinous ones, and tell them to dig a cellar.They have committed countless crimes, so it's cheap to just cut them all out, and it just happens to be useful at this moment.

Whenever this happens, Wen Le can only reluctantly admit that his elder brother's brain is indeed brighter than his.As a not so thorough ancient man, his thoughts are sometimes a little too humanistic for this era.

-

Wen Lian had just returned home, and after less than a day of rest, he was escorted by his brother to practice martial arts.

Some time ago, by chance, Wen Le found a secret book about qigong, and specially sent a bunch of bamboo pen holders to be carved and bought, which cost him a lot of money.If it can come in handy, the money will not be spent wrongly.

Wen Lian, who originally thought he was already a master of martial arts, was stunned when he saw the secret book. After studying the secret book for a short time, he began to waste sleep and food thinking about it.Due to various reasons, the secret guards who originally protected the members of the Wen family have switched to the Ming Road. Except for a few, the rest are working in the Wen mansion in an open and aboveboard manner, and they brought a total of nearly 100 imperial troops from Dadu. Tian was practicing martial arts with Wen Lian.

It's good for them to learn more things, after all, they are helping themselves to do things.Wen Le can accommodate capable people.

In addition, it is the sisters of the Bu family.

Duo Lun, the leader of the sea caravan, has been obsessed with all kinds of things since he saw the unfinished ship. Seeing that he will be of great help in the future, Wen Le did not stop them from studying the merchant ship.

The ship is currently under construction.Although Wen Le doesn't know much about shipbuilding, when he occasionally goes to other courtyards to see the Bu family members, a few servants under him, and a few yellow-haired foreigners working in full swing, he has that arrogant expression on his face. , has been able to explain many problems.

Once the ship is built, it needs to be sent to the pier for sea trials.

Now another problem arises.How should this sea transport ship, which is larger and heavier than ordinary river transport ships, be transported from this courtyard to the pier?Although ordinary fiberboard trucks can bear the weight of this big ship, what about the road surface?The uneven road surface absolutely cannot guarantee the smooth transportation of the big ship to the sea!

Only then did Wen Le remember the road repairs he had planned when building the ship.

The material for road construction is naturally not cement. To be honest, he doesn't know what the formula of cement is. The raw material he was interested in before is also a specialty of Zhao Daniu's hometown, Federation Star.

The Federal Star has a vast territory, a large population, and a harsh climate, so many living utensils are far from the ancient Earth.For those countries where the transportation volume of one vehicle exceeds 24 tons at every turn, cement and asphalt roads are not enough.What they are currently using is a new type of resin material, which is said to be resin, but it is actually just chemical powder.Mix the powder with water according to the ratio, and then evenly sprinkle it on the repaired road surface. No matter what material the road surface is used as the roadbed, after [-] hours, the liquid mixed with resin powder will penetrate into the roadbed strongly. deepest, then solidified.

If it needs to be beautiful, it is basically the fastest way to repair the road with a layer of metallic paint or colored paint.Because of this patent industry, Federation Star is very popular in the entire galaxy.

This thing is convenient, fast, and everything is good, but the price is a bit ugly.

But it is an eternal truth to build roads before getting rich. There are so many counties in Fuchun County, each with its own specialties.It's a pity that because of the traffic, many popular specialties can only be rotten on the road.Wen Le had eaten the dried lychees sent by the county magistrate of Lizhou, each one was as big as a copper bell, and the flesh was plump. He didn't know how delicious it would be when it was fresh.Recalling what I saw and heard all the way south, not to mention the northernmost metropolis, even the southerly Jiangnan, the price of lychees is also extremely expensive.If there is a more convenient transportation environment, it is feasible to transport lychees from Fuchun Port to Jiangnan by sea, and I am afraid that this will be a big income.

These things in Fuchun were originally under Guo Dachunyi's subordinates, but now that Dachunyi is dead, Wen Le has done many things in the county by himself.Road construction is just a trivial matter, and he didn't even need to let many people know, he directly ordered people to buy yellow sand and gravel to pave the road.

Wen Run finally heard the news, and asked him in confusion: "What are you doing? Even if the Huangsha Road is repaired, your boat can't be transported."

Wen Le said with a righteous face: "Diana and the others have something for road construction in their goods. I bought some jewelry and tried it out first."

Wen Run had always looked down on Diana, so he lost interest when he heard the words, and shook his hands and said: "These yellow-haired bastards are extremely treacherous and cunning, be careful not to be deceived."

In the evening, after a day's work, Wen Run returned to the study, and Wu Yi, the dark guard, came to make a routine report.

Thinking of the road construction, Wen Run remembered the annoying Diana for no reason, and asked with some vigilance: "What do the lord and the group of foreigners living in the government office do every day?"

Wu said in a low voice: "My lord and they all sit in the study and talk in foreign languages. The subordinates are far away, and they are not familiar with the language. They basically don't know what they are talking about. Sometimes they will go to the docks and ports. Most of them went to Laohou’s mansion to look at the boat, or went to chat with the foreigners on the ferry.”

Wen Run frowned, he didn't remember that his father hired a gentleman who spoke foreign languages ​​for Wen Le, and he didn't know where his abilities came from.

"What about the two foreign women?"

Wu Yi said shyly: "Both of these two have very different styles... But it seems that they are not the only ones who treat the Sir like this. I guess it's just a habit, right?"

After he finished speaking, he raised his head, just about to ask himself if he could step back, when he saw that the smile on Wen Run's face was gone, his eyes were deep and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The outside of the window was gently tapped up and down, and after waiting for two seconds, the window door was pulled up with a creak, and someone jumped in.

Wu Er and Wu Yi glanced at each other. They were about the same age and were recruited together. Naturally, their relationship was much deeper than others.Now Wu Yi is sent to work beside Wen Le, and Wu Er stays by Wen Run's side, and the time they spend together is getting less and less.

Wu Erban knelt on the ground, Lian Shen said to Wen Run, who was still distracted: "My lord, the king of the admonition county is arrogant and writes quickly."

Wen Run came back to his senses, pondered for a moment, and then said softly: "Bring it to me."

Wu Er took out the letter, checked the seal of the seal carefully, and showed it to Wen Run. Seeing that he tore it open with his own eyes, he knelt back in peace.

Wen Run scanned it again, only to feel that it was stuck in his throat, and his eyes naturally became more gloomy.

Wu Er has been with him for a long time, and he is very courageous. He knows something about Wen Run, and he can almost guess what Jianjun Wanggou can spit out, so he said: "My lord, I heard that on the fifth day of last month, the Holy Majesty The newly-obtained son-in-law fell ill again...and died, did King Jianjun talk about this?"

Wen Run glanced at him, clenched his fists, and snorted coldly: "He wanted to offend both sides, but he offended both sides completely. It's strange that the ancients said that cleverness was misunderstood by cleverness!"

Wu Er bowed his head: "My lord, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Your Excellency is far away in Fuchun now. Although most of them still have manpower, the news is not always delivered in a timely manner. Although King Jianjun once felt sorry for Your Excellency, after all, he has the right time, place and people, and now he is in the limelight. He has a heart Make friends with the adults, why don't the adults accept him according to the trend, at least make a superficial article, and leave yourself a way out?" He looked up carefully at Wen Run, who hadn't changed, and continued hesitantly, "What's more... What's more, it is the second master who is in charge of Fuchun now. The second master is not your brother and sister. Besides, when he was in Dadu, he was quite conceited and not close to you. Although he is now...but he has an ambiguous attitude. Subordinate The most worrying thing is that he has suspicions about your life experience, after all, people's hearts are separated from each other..."

"Okay, don't say it," Wen Run interrupted him, frowning and waving his hands, "You don't need to say such things in the future, I know it well."

Wu Er gritted his teeth, anxious: "My lord, although the loyal words are hard to hear, the speculation made by this subordinate is by no means groundless!"

Wen Run said impatiently: "I know you are loyal, but I have my own thoughts. My relationship with him is by no means as weak as you imagine."

"My lord!" Wu Er's neck turned red, "But it's been so long in Fuchun, the second master just entrusted you to do some trivial things, and he doesn't even value you more than the third master!"

Wen Run didn't listen to what he said, and let them go out with a wave of his hand.

Although Wu Er has a quick temper, he didn't dare to disobey his orders, so he could only follow Wu Yi to leave.

In the study room, Wen Run was in a daze. He held up his teacup and stared at the patterns on it for a long time, and finally fell down on the back of the chair exhausted.

Yes, why doesn't he know?

Wen Le found the martial arts book for Wen Lian, sent him to hunt for silkworms, and gave him the opportunity to get in touch with the Fuchun Army Camp.

He is not a person who forgets his roots. Now that he has gained power, even his mother's servant girl can get an official title. Why does he still have to worry about trivial matters in the county every day?

In the final analysis, it is still your own problem.

Wen Le is short of people, so short that he doesn't even care about his background, and he isn't even picky about his gender. The only thing he values ​​more than anything else is loyalty.

In other words, let him dare to employ people with no doubts, instead of always worrying that the person who is promoted now will have to play tricks tomorrow, and finally bite himself back.From his standpoint, such concerns are absolutely justified.

It's just that I was too wary at the beginning, and I didn't make a move in time when I should have gained his trust. After waiting for a while, the opportunity passed by by mistake, and it was hard to find it.

Standing on his own standpoint, Wu Er naturally felt that what his master did was a matter of course.But Wen Le is not his vassal, he has his own balance and thinking, and if he does not gain his trust again, this status quo can never be changed.

Thinking of this, Wen Run took a deep breath and stood up while leaning on the table.

He patted the hem of his robe, picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp, then took out the torch, carefully lit the letter paper in his hand, threw it into the censer and watched it gradually burn to ashes.

Whose family has a brother like Jianjun Wang, that is really bad luck.Compared with the crown prince and the new emperor, my brother is just a little more suspicious and a little more cautious, which is nothing at all! ——
