Take toilet paper as an example. At the beginning, due to time, technology, cost and other constraints, the finished products produced by the initial workshop were only enough for the royal family. After further research, the above problems were solved, and toilet paper was able to be popularized all over the country.It is said that Shi Min picked up the name of the toilet paper on a whim.

Although they are all called toilet paper, not all toilet paper are exactly the same. For the royal family? Naturally, it is the best, and it is specially made by the workshop under the Ministry of Industry. A few skilled workers still come from Yundingfan. Yes, the toilet paper made is soft and has a different fragrance, and it is in roll shape. It is one of the luxury goods that can't be bought even if you have money on the market.

The best toilet paper that can be bought on the market, compared with the one produced by the Kobu workshop, is inferior in softness and taste, so there is a price and there is a market, and it has become the daily special use of the honored nobles. It is worthy of their status, so every rich businessman or landowner rushes to buy this kind of toilet paper.

The cheapest and cheapest toilet paper is also the worst, but compared to the old toilet paper that ordinary people use, it is affordable and easy to use, and the quantity is sufficient, so you can eat three meals a day. People who have a meal will not hesitate to give up the bamboo chips and wooden sticks they used to buy, and choose to buy a stack of the cheapest toilet paper.

The reason why toilet paper became popular so quickly was Shi Min's deliberate effort. Not only did he sell the formula to Ma Jinqian at a high price, but he also sold it to paper merchants in various places at a high price, and promised to send someone to guide him.Businessmen have paid so much money, if they want to recover the cost as soon as possible and make a profit, they can only expand production.

As long as production is expanded, new workshops must be built. Once the workshop is completed? Put into use?, people will definitely be recruited. This will not only increase the local employment rate, increase the income of the people, but also allow businessmen to make money, and also benefit the local government. With a high tax, people can also buy cheap and easy-to-use toilet paper, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.

Therefore, although toilet paper has only been born and popularized for a year, it has quickly become popular throughout the Hua Dynasty, and it has replaced the original toilet paper, bamboo chips and wooden sticks like a hundred rivers returning to the sea. For this reason, Xin Daily wrote a special article Articles, so anyone who can read is not ignorant of this matter.

For this reason, the New Daily was ridiculed by some stubborn scholars, who dared to write anything in official articles.

After Shi Min heard this, he laughed and said nothing, but what he thought in his heart was that he is a fool who does something and does not publicize it. The purpose of creating a new daily is to publicize, popularize science, increase the cohesion of the people and enlighten wisdom. If you don’t write this, why don’t you write it every day? Poems and songs?Neuropathy!

Although the stubborn people talk about it, they actually use it more diligently than anyone else when it comes to using toilet paper, because using toilet paper has become the standard equipment of the powerful and powerful, and it has also led a whole? China's hygienic fashion is a must-have for almost every household except for those who have to budget carefully for meals.

So the birth of toilet paper not only greatly facilitated the honorable nobles across the country, but also improved the daily life of the common people, and contributed to personal hygiene and cleanliness. Most importantly, it greatly improved the experience of girls going to the toilet. , especially during those few days.

Anyway? Shi Min still likes life with toilet paper, it's really much more convenient.And Bu Qianxue and her family also like living with toilet paper, especially after having a little niece, the usefulness of toilet paper becomes more obvious.

But what surprised Qianxue and the ministers the most was that Shi Min publicly returned the large sum of money she got from selling the formula to Yun Dingfan, and specifically stated that she deserved it, and it turned out that Yun Dingfan was also an honest person. , Said that toilet paper can be completed? Relying on His Majesty's ideas and strong support, after several evasions, only one-tenth of it was finally required.

Even this one-tenth of Qian Yundingfan didn't want it for herself, but for her subordinates and apprentices. In order to concentrate on research and development, she had already passed on the position of chief apprentice Mo to the chief apprentice, but her body? There are a few apprentices beside me, so I have to think about them.

The remaining nine-tenths of the big money, nearly a million yuan, Shi Min didn't have the cheek to say that he would keep it in his own pocket, so he donated it to the treasury in her and Yun Dingfan's honor, and it didn't take long for it to be returned. Send Yun Dingfan a practical "good man award" - the title of Marquis of Xinfu.

On the second day after the edict was granted, Shi Min received a lot of remonstrance memorials, all of which said that the precedent of donating money and being awarded the title cannot be set, otherwise all the officials in the world will follow suit, and it will make the imperial court so hard-won. I'm afraid it won't take more than two years to turn into a mess like the first emperor's reign, with officials and subordinate staff continuing to wantonly scrape the people's fat and anoint them.

There were too many remonstrances, and it was tiring and troublesome for Shi Min to reply one by one, so he read out the imperial edict to clarify this matter in the early morning of the next day, and once again clarified the reasons for conferring Yundingfan the title , not because of her donation, but because of the remarkable achievements she has made in research and development of artillery and toilet paper since she entered the DPRK.

But if it’s not sealed sooner or later, Yun Dingfan has to donate money to seal it. It’s hard to guarantee that the ministers won’t think too much about it, but His Majesty will use it at the court? The edict has been clarified again, and they can’t hold on to it anymore. The root cause Or could they not create these things that Yun Dingfan made? Otherwise, they would have to earn a title.

In addition, there is another reason that Yun Dingfan is still alone and has no children. All the ministers in the capital have heard that the mansion given to her by His Majesty only goes back once in ten days and a half months. I have never heard of any plans to adopt.

Yun Dingfan has quite a few apprentices, but according to the Law of Honor, apprentices cannot inherit the title, so the title of Assistant Marquis is probably up to her, so why should they bother His Majesty with a title for life? Woolen cloth!

Bu Qianxue can understand the worries of the ministers, because she also thought so at the beginning, Hua Dynasty has finally become more and more upright in the past few years, and she can't give up halfway because of one person, so she went to find Shi Min .

In the end, Shi Min said more than she did, and the most important thing was that she changed her mind in the end. Until now, she still remembers Shi Min's last words - Yun Dingfan's talent in creation, mechanism, and arithmetic , Achievements, the entire Hua Dynasty is unmatched? For those on the right, a little reward is hard to beat. If the credit is in case, if you are stingy even in case, it will make people feel chilling!There is no distinction between rewards and punishments, so who will be willing to devote themselves to the court for me in the future!

Yes, the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.Everyone loves to be an official, but they only seek power, money, glory and wealth. If the emperor is stingy with these things, who will be sincere and willing to work hard for her?

Although she knew things like cannons, it was because of Shi Min's dedication and hard work that she was able to create them, but it was Yun Dingfan who really studied them and worked day and night to implement them, so she was conferred the title of Assistant Marquis It's really not a big reward.

Afterwards, the two talked about the money. After all, 100 million taels is not a small amount. Shi Min also admitted that she was a little bit reluctant after experiencing a financial crisis, but for the sake of the long-term plan, she had to be willing. Not even a dime can be deducted privately.

This incident also allowed Bu Qianxue to understand that Shi Min is not as open-minded as she appears, she also loves power and money like ordinary people, especially when it comes to money, Shi Min has a habit that can prove how much she loves Money, the emperor's private treasury must be counted at least once a month, and the books and balances must be perfectly matched, and there will be no shortage or excess.

In addition, after Shi Min carried out reforms in the palace, the regulations on purchasing, reimbursement, etc. have become more detailed and complete, almost one-to-one. Moderate use?

And she and the queen mother's private treasury are all in the hands of their own general managers. They only ask when they think of something or have something to do. Basically, they don't ask much. No matter how much I asked, there was no corruption of ink, but it was Shi Min's favor.

In addition to changes closely related to daily life, such as toilet paper and toothbrushes, the popularity of new daily newspapers and punctuation marks has also changed the lives of scholars, and the implementation of the new policy has made Huachao change from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside. Significant changes have taken place, what does the future hold?I don't know, but everyone believes that life will definitely get better and better.

Under Shi Min's watchful eyes, Bu Qianxue ate all the fruit in front of her in one go, uncharacteristically free and easy, and never took off the water, then looked at the tableware in front of her and asked, "What is today?" Got crabs?".

She remembered that she didn't order crabs yesterday, and she had seen Shi Min's menu, and she didn't order either, but today's tableware seemed to include crabs, so she asked this question.

Ordering food in advance is a common practice in the palace. The master can order what he wants to eat. If there is nothing special to eat, he can leave it empty. Fresh ingredients.

"As soon as the crabs from Nantai Lake were caught this year, Ma Jinqian sent someone to send a box to the palace. It's just right? Fortunately, you will arrive when you take a nap, so no one will disturb you. Knowing that you like it, let the imperial dining room add it to the palace today. For dinner, there are both steamed and braised sauce, today I can eat freely," Shi Min explained triumphantly.

Who was the first person to eat a crab?There is no record in the book, but there is a clear record of the local crab banquet in Nantai Lake at the end of the former dynasty, and the method is relatively simple. Braised, fried and other practices.

Until now, crab banquets are still popular in Nantai Lake. Affected by this, Fandu is also popular in autumn to eat crabs. Whenever there is a banquet in autumn, the main dish of crab must be served on the banquet.

Shi Min liked to eat seafood in modern times, and naturally it hasn’t changed since she came here. Therefore, under her example, the crab eating business has reached its peak. Derivatives such as crab roe buns and crab roe porridge.

In the past, the big crabs in Nantai Lake were tributes. According to the regulations, the local officials where Nantai Lake was located organized arrests every year and selected the largest and freshest crabs to be sent to the capital. Exploitation, and worse, no wages.

The same is true for other local specialties, which labors the people and wastes money, and suffers from the common people, but it satisfies the emperor's selfish desires and officials' pockets. That's why Shi Min made up his mind to abolish the local tribute system.

Since Shimian banned local tribute and local specialties, local officials in various places have lost a way to make money, but the people have relaxed a lot. No more? Being exploited and labored by local officials in the name of paying tribute, no more worrying about Lose your head if you don't raise enough good quality tributes.

Of course, not all things are forbidden to pay tribute. For example, any purple jade or pearl that symbolizes the royal family or imperial power must be paid tribute, and once it is discovered, it must be paid immediately, and it is stipulated that it is a felony to conceal it.

As soon as Shi Min said that she could let go of eating crabs today, Bu Qianxue smiled and said happily, "You said that, Jinkou Yuyan?" Forget it, but also drink rice wine.

"Jinkouyuyan!" Shi Min smiled meaningfully, showing no remorse.

Amidst Bu Qianxue's long-awaited expectations, today's theme dish, big crab, was finally served, but she was dumbfounded, and she agreed to let go of the food, but in front of her? There is only one plate, one braised in soy sauce and one steamed, and it comes with a pot of rice wine. It really has both braised and steamed dishes!

Immediately, he was unhappy and said: "Is this your golden words?"

Shi Min nodded, put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a clean handkerchief, and then sighed: "I don't know how to be blessed when I am blessed." After speaking, I took a special look in front of myself. No.

Seeing this, Bu Qianxue immediately swallowed back what she wanted to say, and started to eat the crab in front of her in a hurry. She was afraid that Shi Min would not be able to stand the excitement, so she took her crab.

It wasn't that she was so stingy that she couldn't bear to give Shi Min a crab, but that Shi Min was drinking?Because in the past month, she remembered very clearly all the stones that could not be eaten.

Bu Qianxue drank rice wine while eating crabs. After eating the crabs, she drank most of the rice wine. She washed her hands and wiped them clean, and she was satisfied to have the crab carcasses removed, but the last dessert was too much to eat. I can watch helplessly as I eat the stones facing me.

In order to resist not wanting to eat crabs, Shi Min started to eat crabs with Bu Qianxue's hands. After eating them, he just stared at the one-acre three-point land in front of his desk, but the damn thing was that he could still hear the crabs. The sound, the food in my mouth is not delicious in an instant, and I suddenly feel that I have done it to myself.

Why do you have to let the imperial dining room cook crabs today?The crabs are not dead, so it’s not impossible to raise them for two days? !The Imperial Dining Room was also obedient, really only made four of them, two were sent here, two were sent to Yongshou Palace, and none was given to her, the emperor was really aggrieved!

Just when she was suffering the most, the crab on the opposite side was finally finished. After the ears were cleaned, the food tasted again instantly, and even the dessert behind seemed to be better than usual.

Just when the two were eating and watching one by one, a palace attendant walked towards Qingshui Pavilion in a regular manner. At the entrance of the trestle, he was stopped by the guarding internal guards. What did the palace attendant say? The palace attendant standing behind the internal guards Only then reluctantly agreed to go to report.

The palace attendant walked all the way outside the waterside pavilion before stopping. His Majesty was still eating. He had better wait for a while as usual. Just in time, the bored Bu Qianxue turned around and saw him, so he asked Lu Yan to take him with him immediately. come forward.

The palace attendant hurried forward and saluted and said, "I report to Your Majesty, Zhonggong, there is a palace attendant who has come to report Buhou to see you outside the gate of the palace."

Bu Qianxue frowned, but did not speak again. Shi Min was about to finish eating a piece of dessert. Seeing that Bu Qianxue had no intention of opening her mouth, she ordered, "Take Buhou to the Hanliang Hall to wait. Be sure to take good care of him and go down." Bar".

"Yes" the palace attendant got the words, immediately bowed and left, and went to send a message to the palace attendant waiting at the entrance of the trestle bridge.

After eating for a while, Shi Min felt quite full, so he put down his chopsticks completely, looked at Bu Qianxue and suggested, "It will take a while for Taishui to reach Hanliang Hall, why don't we go back, right? Good digestion, how about it?" Bu Qianxue still didn't speak, but nodded.

With Bu Qianxue's consent, Shi Min didn't hold back, just the afterglow of the setting sun. His lover's hand went out, walked out of the waterside pavilion, walked across the trestle bridge, and arrived at Fangyuan in a short while. Shi Min waved his hand to the back.

Lu Guanchu immediately understood what His Majesty meant, and immediately took the lead to stay where he was, and signaled the rest of the entourage to also stop, and the long line came to a halt in an instant.

Shi Min kept pulling Bu Qianxue until he walked to the Wanju Pavilion in the Fangyuan Garden. Around the pavilion, there were lush chrysanthemums blooming, including yellow, red, and white, all in full bloom.

Bu Qianxue felt that there was no sound of footsteps behind her, and seeing that Shi Min deviated from the way back to Hanliang Hall and turned towards the Wanju Pavilion, she knew that Shi Min had something to say. She said. ?
