Zhuo Qihua

In Tao Yuan Pavilion, when Ming Xun plucked up the courage to speak out his appeal, Emperor Yong'an looked up and down Ming Xun in surprise for a long time, seeing that Ming Xun became more and more flustered and lowered his head lower and lower.Emperor Yong'an was really surprised.That Mingyu who was so cowardly before being bullied by Cheng's in every possible way and did not dare to fight back, now dares to make such a bold request to him to leave the palace!This change is too big!

Emperor Yong'an withdrew the shock in his heart, and said: "Leaving the palace by the way, there are important things to do. You are going out of the palace... It's just a rouge and gouache workshop..."

Before Emperor Yong'an finished speaking, he was boldly interrupted by Mingyu.Mingyu blushed, and said with some annoyance: "Your Majesty, that's make-up! What I want to build is not a workshop, but a factory! It's a company that can make all kinds of make-up, skin care products, and skin care products! "

Well, the company is out!

Emperor Yong'an suppressed his smile, and his face became more serious: "I don't care about you if you follow Shunyu to learn these things. But you are my servant, so you can show your face and go out to set up a factory. It's the same for me to let Shunyu go out of the palace. He wants to make medicine outside the palace! How do you compare with him!"

Ming Xun: "Shun Xun said that women, children, pets and men have the highest consumption potential in order! On the first day of the opening of 'Taoyao Pavilion', all the products were sold out. Not only women like it, but also brothers and sisters. Men like it! Your Majesty, there is a huge market for cosmetics and skin care products. Before Taoyao Pavilion appeared, the various rouge and gouache shops in the capital were making money every day, but whenever new products were released, they would inevitably form in Beijing. There is a rush of buying. The products produced by "Taoyao Pavilion" will only be better and more outstanding. This is a lot of money, so there is no reason not to earn it!

In the future, Taoyaoge's products will not only cover makeup and skin care series in an all-round way, but also be number one in the country.Anyone who thinks of makeup and skin care will only think of Taoyao Pavilion!Your Majesty, you don't have to like it, but you can't underestimate the potential of Taoyao Pavilion! "

Zhang Xian lowered his head and suppressed a smile.

Ming Xing continued: "I don't want to compare myself with Shun Xing. I don't want to be a harem who only spends money to sleep, and I want to be like Shun Xing, who can earn money and have a career of his own! "

The business has also come out...

Emperor Yong'an: "Go and call for Huang Gui Xie, De Gui Xie and Xi Gui Concubine."

Ming Xi bit his lip and knelt down.

Emperor Yong'an: "You don't need to kneel, when they come, tell them what you just told me, and see who supports you."

Ming Xun stood up and said in his heart: 【I definitely support it. 】

Huang Guixie and Deguixie came the fastest.Seeing Mingyu here, Huang Guixie was quite puzzled, but Deguixie knew it well.After waiting for a while, the pregnant concubine Xi Gui arrived.Concubine Xi Gui was swollen like a steamed bun, Zhang Xian supported her and walked in slowly.After Concubine Xi Gui sat down, Emperor Yong'an looked at Ming Xun: "Speak."

Mingyu took a deep breath, and recounted what he had just said to Emperor Yong'an again.Huang Guixie and Concubine Xi Guifei looked surprised, while Deguixie's expression was very flat.Emperor Yong'an: "My lord, do you know?"

De Guixie: "Return to Your Majesty, the servants know about this matter, and it was the servants who asked Mingyu to ask His Majesty's intentions. Shunxi's business is getting more and more, and the servants just stay in the palace and direct others to do it. It’s inconvenient. The servants can’t see it with their own eyes. If the people below team up to deceive the servants and others, the servants will have no way of knowing. These businesses are not only expected to make money, even if the servants and others , I also hope to make money, and I am already making money, and there is a lot to do.”

Huang Guixie put away the surprise on his face, and said, "That's true. The pharmacy is fine, and Shunxie often goes there. But the paper mill and Taoyaoge Shunxiu don't care about it at all. Listen, my servant. Shunxi means that the restaurant also wants to make a profit. Shunxi also thinks that he can do all the business in the whole country and outside the country, but if the servants and others can only stay in the palace, it is There are difficulties. Shunxi is still waiting for the imperial concubine to give birth to the paper mill and hand it over to the imperial concubine. Just sitting in the palace, if someone deliberately makes a fuss about the accounts, the servants and others will have no way of knowing."

Emperor Yong'an: "All of you were harmed by him. The concubine of the harem only thinks about doing business to earn money all day long. How decent is that?"

Mingyu retorted: "Your Majesty, the servants and others earned money not for the sake of the servants. With the silver in the hands of the servants, not only can they share the worries of the majesty, but they can also do things within their ability. With the money in the hands of the servants, in the future the palace Wherever there needs to be renovated, there is no need for the Ministry of Accounts to pay the money, and the servants can get the money themselves, and there is no need to listen to the Ministry of Accounts crying for poverty. The servants can make money, and naturally there will be no loss of His Majesty. Who in this world is going to have trouble with Yinzi.

Those officials in the previous dynasty, none of them were in charge of the inner house to earn money, so they couldn't do it when they came to the servant's place.If His Majesty agrees, maybe His Majesty will not have money for his servants in the future. "

Emperor Yong'an was amused, even Huangguixie, Deguixie and Xiguifei all laughed.Emperor Yong'an: "You have a big tone."

Seeing that His Majesty didn't seem so angry, Ming Xun boldly said: "As I said, everything is possible."

"Hehehe..."

Emperor Yong'an really looked at his servant with admiration.He put away his smile and said: "It is absolutely impossible to let you leave the palace at any time. The rules of the ancestors cannot be broken. I will allow you to leave the palace three times a month, and you need to report to me before you leave the palace. By the way, I will mention it to you. However, I want to integrate these businesses of yours...I allow you to build the 'Zhaoyuan Commercial Firm' in Daxing Palace, and Huang Guixie will be in charge of it, whether it is a paper mill, a pharmacy or a powder shop..."

"Your Majesty, that's makeup..." Mingyu protested again in a low voice.

Emperor Yong'an was speechless: "Well, a cosmetics store. No matter what kind of business it is, it belongs to the "Zhaoyuan Commercial Firm". It's up to you to decide. You can meet with your people at Zhuoyuan Trading Company to discuss business matters."

The four were very pleasantly surprised, and Emperor Yong'an raised his hand: "Don't be too happy. If the business loses money, I will take back this honor given to you. If anyone uses this as a cover to do something else, I will punish you severely." loan!"

"Master (servant) remember! Minister (servant) thank Your Majesty Long En—!"

"I will send a Wusi to each of you to protect your safety when you go out."

"Servant (servant) thank you, Your Majesty—"

Emperor Yong'an took a piece of rice paper and wrote the words "Zhuoyuan Trading Company" with a brush.After seeing it, the four of them realized that this "Zhuo" was not the other "Zhuo".Huang Guixie took the inscription away, and Emperor Yong'an explained that Zhuoyuan Trading Company was built with cement newly developed by the Ministry of Industry, and the four of them had no objection to this.

Having received His Majesty's decree, let alone others, Mingyu is full of energy.Leaving Fengtian Palace, he didn't even say that he would sit in the Imperial Concubine's Palace, but hurried back to the palace to study his formula.Seeing Mingxie's enthusiasm, Huang Guixie smiled and said, "We all need to work harder. If our performance is overtaken by Mingxie in the future, we will be laughed at by His Majesty."

De Guixie smiled and said: "That's not true. Mingyu comes from the Lin family, and he was born to do business. If we don't work hard, we will be in danger."

Concubine Xi patted her stomach lightly: "Just wait for me to unload the goods."

The four of them went back to the palace, Zhang Xian poured tea for His Majesty who seemed to be in a good mood, and said: "Long live, servant girl, look at the appearances of some of your concubines and empresses, this firm may really be well-known in the world in the future. "

Emperor Yong'an held the teacup and said, "All of them were 'harmed' by Shunxi."

Zhang Xian pursed his lips and smiled: "By the way, you are an extraordinary person, whoever stays with you for a long time will change."

Emperor Yong'an squinted at Zhang Xian: "What about you?"

Zhang Xian paused his hands, and said with a smile: "Of course the servants are too."

Emperor Yong'an leaned on the armrest, looking relaxed, and asked casually, "How have you changed?"

Zhang Xian: "In the past, slaves could only feel at ease when they were by Wansui's side. Now, slaves can feel at ease when they are by Chuchu's side."

"Hehe..." Emperor Yong'an was not unhappy, but instead said: "Shunxi is working hard every day, but there are so many idlers in this palace. When people are idle, they will have more thoughts. Let them be busy, this Danyang Only the palace will be safe."

Zhang Xian didn't say anything, but the corner of his mouth with a smile revealed that he agreed.

Emperor Yong'an lowered his smile and said: "In the previous dynasty, there were bound to be people who objected..."

Zhang Xian: "Long live, although these businesses of yours have not been opened for a long time, they are actually making money. They are not doing these businesses for you, Long live. If someone objects, let them make money for you, Long live. What's more, long live you didn't let all the noble masters of the harem leave the palace. The imperial concubine, the noble concubine, the imperial concubine, and the tomb are all able to help you do great things. If there is someone so bold as to deceive others, the one who loses is Long Live your silver."

Emperor Yong'an nodded: "Indeed. Whoever objects, tell them to earn money for me. Go, Xuan Shiyu."

■

On the same day, the news that His Majesty will build the "Zhuoyuan Commercial Firm" in Daxing Palace, and at the same time allow Huangguiji, Deguiji, Mingyu, and Xiguifei to sit in the firm, spread outside the palace.Naturally, there were those who opposed it, but after Shi Yu came out of Fengtian Temple, he went to the cabinet for a round, and none of the seven members of the cabinet objected.Chen Changgeng made a statement, thinking that it was inappropriate for the noble lord of the harem to do business in Daxing Palace. Emperor Yong'an only said: "The national treasury is empty, and my private treasury is not worth a few taels of silver. The imperial concubine and the others want to share my worries, and I can't let them suffer." Heart. If they can really earn money, it can be regarded as a solution to my urgent need. If the household department can perform the duties of the household department, why do I need the harem to come forward?"

Nian Qing was so ashamed that he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself.

Everyone knows that the national treasury is empty, and the North Valley War is not over yet, it is all about burning money.The stock exchange has not yet started listing. Although many people are waiting to spend money to buy the shares of the "Military Medical Research Institute", no one can say for sure how much money they will make by then.Sui Guogong was the first to kneel down: "I am ashamed..."

King Wu Shao and King Xianyi followed.Hulala, the officials all knelt down in shame.

When Emperor Yong'an was unceremoniously running the household department in the court, the exam questions for the third and final round of the township examination also came out.The last one is policy theory, and it is also the most critical one in the entire nine exams.All the examination questions in the previous eight rounds were jointly prepared by the examiners from Hanlin and the Ministry of Rites. Only the chief examiner Liu Qian came up with the topic of policy discussion in this round. Before today, no one knew that the topic of this policy discussion would be What.Because of this, the results of this policy discussion to a certain extent determine the results of all students in this rural examination.Because the questions in the first eight exams were participated by many people, there is a risk of leaking the questions. The policy theory is the real selection of talents.

Three bronze rings sounded, and Liu Qian wrote down the topic of today's policy discussion on a piece of paper. After seeing it, the sign-holding officer wrote it down on the sign with a look of surprise on his face.Candidates are looking forward to it, not knowing what will be the last key policy topic.Prior to this, the examinees had carefully read the articles written by Liu Qian, and had a rough judgment on the examiner's preferences.

The placard officer held up the written question row and walked to the examinees. The examinees who were the first to see the questions in the first row were dumbfounded, and they saw the words on the placard - the science of craftsman, the luck of the country.

What the hell kind of topic is this!

Many candidates collapsed on the spot.Is there such a famous saying in the books they are familiar with!

Old God Liu Qian was sitting there.Not to mention the examinees, even the accompanying examiners present were dumbfounded.They had guessed countless questions, and they never thought that Liu Qian would think about such a question so rashly.But as the chief examiner, no one has the right to question even if the question is shit. Even the emperor can only follow the chief examiner's will.

King Qin, who was the only calm one present, continued to study his "Science" journal.Liu Qian also picked up "Science" and continued to study.Regardless of whether other people really like it or just pretend, anyway, everyone has a book of science.King Qi is writing big characters honestly. Although he has to accompany the exam, he can't miss the homework that should be written.

In Fengtian Temple, Emperor Yong'an was also very surprised when he learned what the topic of the rural examination was today: "Science of craftsman?"

Zhang Xian: "I heard that Xueshi Liu highly respects the "Science" journal and the artisans of the Academy of Sciences, and believes that the research of the Academy is related to people's livelihood."

Emperor Yong'an was really taken aback. There were very few important officials in the court who took the journal "Science" seriously. He did not expect that Liu Qian, who studied the books of sages and sages all day long, would pay so much attention to "Science", and even used it in important exams such as the provincial examination. such a subject.It is conceivable how students from the court, the central government and the world will talk about it after the rural examination is over.

Emperor Yong'an thought about it and said, "Go, call Shi Yu here."

"Yes."

Shi Yu is not in the cabinet, but in the Academy of Sciences.After the results of the provincial examination are released, it is time for the Academy of Sciences to enroll students. Shi Yu will be watching at the Academy of Sciences for the past few days.The examination questions for the admissions of the Academy of Sciences will definitely not be writing articles, but will be more targeted.Shi Yu, the boss of the Ministry of Industry and the dean of the Academy of Sciences, now knows a lot about some emerging knowledge.The highest rank in the research institute is the third-class craftsman, and they are all personally appointed by His Majesty.The reason why the highest is only the third class is also because there are no achievements that can be really used in practice, and the theoretical research is still weak.This time, all the admissions questions for the Academy of Sciences were jointly prepared by third-class craftsmen, and the questions for the admissions exams for the Military Industry Research Institute and the Military Medical Research Institute were written by Sui Guogong and Hu Pengju respectively.

After receiving the decree from the palace, Shi Yu immediately entered the palace.Because Shi Yu was not in the cabinet, Emperor Yong'an still waited for a long time before Shi Yu came.When Shi Yu came, Emperor Yong'an said: "This time the rural examination, Liu Qian's topic is 'Science of Craftsman, Fortune of Country', what do you think?"

"Ah?!" Shi Yu was shocked.

Emperor Yong'an: "I didn't expect him to ask such a question."

Shi Yu didn't know how to respond for a moment.Emperor Yong'an said, "Since Liu Qian's examination questions are related to science, you should also participate in the examination. After the provincial examination, I will make a decree."

"The minister leads the order."

"Well, you go down."

Shi Yu remained a bit shy, and Emperor Yong'an said, "What? Is there something else?"

Shi Yu lacked confidence and said: "Your Majesty, do you want to have a look at the exam questions of the research institute?"

Emperor Yong'an's face immediately darkened: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics! You wish I could have a few more memorials to him on this table, don't you!"

Shi Yu fell to his knees: "I'm guilty!"

Emperor Yong'an: "He is my servant, but he is so busy every day that he doesn't even have time to go back to the palace to rest. You are my servants! Let him do what you should do, and I still want you to do it." What!"

"I'm guilty!" Shi Yu kowtowed.

"Go down!"

Shi Yu kowtowed again, got up and walked away dejectedly.After going out the door, Shi Yu gently slapped his mouth.Shi Yu also understood this time. Regarding the ability of that Chu Chu, His Majesty revealed that it is His Majesty's business, but they can only comprehend it but not express it in words, let alone say it directly.But it is also true that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. If this is preached with empty teeth, I don’t know how the historians of later generations will write it.Shi Yu secretly scolded himself for being confused.

Shi Yu left, but Emperor Yong'an was not as displeased as he had shown just now. Zhang Xian filled His Majesty's teacup with water, and Emperor Yong'an said: "I am waiting for you."

"Yes."

Zhang Xian went out.

Originally, the people waiting for the imperial edict had to follow the emperor at all times, recording the emperor's words and deeds on weekdays.Ever since Emperor Yong'an got to know Zhuo Ji, especially after Zhuo Ji began to be favored, Emperor Yong'an didn't allow his servants to follow him all the time, even if he was in the Qinwen Hall where he was working, it was in the side room next to him.Every day, Zhang Xian would tell the waiter about the important words and deeds of Emperor Yong'an on this day, and the other party would record them down.

As soon as the last round of the provincial examination was over, Emperor Yong'an ordered Shi Yu to participate in marking the papers.Liu Qian asked such a question of "being condemned by heaven", the emperor should ask the boss of the Academy of Sciences to review the papers!At the end of the last scene, many students came out crying, and some students even scolded Liu Qian for making way for these students who had studied hard for many years to make way for craftsmen.Liu Qian didn't care what those people scolded, he was able to sit still, and he didn't care what they scolded.
