[Comprehensive] The five elements are short of money

In this coup that swept across the south, only Jiangxi was not affected and still maintained a detached position. Jiangxi's population was almost non-existent, and the army was still under Xue Xun's control.Xue Yue's fleet continued to create wealth for their Xue family. The Xue family was not short of money, and it is still the case now.

Now everyone is lamenting Xue Xun's foresight. Who would have thought that the emperor endured humiliation and paid so much money and time just to paralyze them and mobilize the elite soldiers around them.Alas, it's too late to say anything now. After entering Beijing, people will kill me with swords, but I will be slaughtered by the emperor.Crouching on the ground, the emperor might not let them go.

If we talk about the impact of this coup, probably Xue Xun is more unpredictable in the eyes of everyone.He predicted the emperor's every move, guessed the emperor's thoughts, and successfully guaranteed the family property and life.Many people who survived the coup in the south rushed to Xue Xun. Xue Xun was loyal to the emperor, so he naturally handed over these "rebellious officials and thieves" to the court.

Of course, only the "famous" and the incompetent handed in, and Xue Xun guarded the real talents.It's already a tradition for their family to do this. Didn't Master Xue take in the Jiangyang thief Mr. Ma who changed his name and surname?

The emperor really had nothing to do with Xue Xun, so he could only win him over with kindness. When the dust of the southern coup d'etat settled, Concubine Kang was promoted to noble concubine and bestowed the title "Zhen".Loyalty and loyalty, the emperor conferred Xue Guifei not Concubine Xue, but Xue Xun.

Xue Xun enjoys the double salary of the Duke of the country, and is bestowed with the title of "Xuan, Zhong, Bao, and Zheng"; Xue Wang's wife Jia Guo, Xue Pan bestows marriage to the princess, Xue Baochai gets the title of princess, Xue Yue's title is promoted to Marquis, and the name The lower caravan promised various privileges, and also bestowed on Yoshida, which benefited Sanfang as far away as Jinling.

This southern coup was a perfect combination of force and power. The emperor used the concubine's trick to lower the vigilance of everyone, and then softened his mind with rewards, and then "cut his elite soldiers" logically. All power was returned to the hands of the emperor.

"Your Majesty is really amazing!" Xue Xun sighed.

Everyone thought that the emperor was weak and petty, who would have thought that he had been dormant for three years, just for this one action.

"Thanks to my lord's insistence on rejecting the imperial court's appropriation at that time, otherwise, Jiangxi would have followed the old path of others." Wei Jiang praised, how many people have satirized the Xue family for being cowardly and fearful over the past few years.

Xue Xun waved his hand, he didn't want to say any modest nonsense.

"The important thing now is what should we do?" Yinshuang asked.

The situation in the south has changed so much that Jin Beast, Yinshuang, and Tie Xingba all returned to Nanchang to discuss countermeasures.Just counting the families of heroes in history, who can retire intact?The hero is like this, so what about the powerful minister? The Xue family is a collection of heroes, powerful ministers, and traitors, so what should it do?

Xue Xun frowns, no matter what he does, it seems to be a dead end.Confidants and aides gathered in the study, and they were also thinking, but no one could come up with a perfect solution.

"Brother, don't worry, the Yangtze River is still under control, and the mouth of Hangzhou has been occupied by the Xue family. If the day comes when things can't be done, it's not a bad idea to retreat overseas." Tie Xingba advised: "Of course, it's still a good idea to say these things. It's too early, Your Majesty is older brother, no one knows what will happen in the future."

As the leader of the army, Tie Xingba, as his name suggests, has always been an iron-blooded, tough and indomitable figure. Even he has begun to think about retreating. The future of Jiangxi is really worrying.Now it seems that Jiangxi's natural scenery is rich, prosperous and centralized, which is unmatched in the whole world, but what should we do in the future?If Xue Xun was a character who said "I don't care about the flood after I die", he would have taken the property of the Xue family and gone overseas to become the local emperor when he was disguised as Xue Xun.The morality in his heart prevents him from being a person who doesn't care about the future and doesn't think about the future. Naturally, he can only live in the brocade every day, but worry about the future.

Xue Xun couldn't think of a way, and so did the others.

"The boat is naturally straight when it reaches the bridge. The method is all thought out by people. Let's all go back. Treat the people well in office, train more scholars, develop local craftsman technology, and merchant trade. Train future generations well, so that even if there is such a day, the children and grandchildren The life of future generations will not be too bad." Xue Xun said with a smile.

"I would like to obey the master's order." Everyone stood up and clasped their fists.

Yes, no matter how bad it is, when they are alive, especially when Xue Xun is alive, the royal family will never dare to touch Jiangxi.As for the descendants, there is no such thing as an undefeated family in the world. If you raise your descendants well, it will be up to them in the future.

All the people came out in a file, but Xue Xun did not give up and sat in the study, forcing himself to come up with an ingenious solution to solve the problem of continuity.Zhu Qing asked to see her at this time. Ever since she gave birth, she has been focusing on assisting the affairs of the inner house. Now that Jiangxi is unique, what big things can the inner house do?

"Brother is well, do you still remember the four imperial beauties whom I trained?" Zhu Qing was a straightforward person, straight to the point.

"Oh, remember, it's...then what...lotus?"

Zhu Qingheixian, the most outstanding Tingting is indeed as clear as Qinghe, but your ability to grasp the key points is really good. "It's Tingting, Yuanyuan, Minmin, Fangfang, among them Tingting is the best."

"Have they learned it?" Xue Xun asked.

"After you've learned it well, your appearance is getting better and better, and your temperament has its own merits, but in your bones, it's my brother's favorite temperament."

Xue Xun laughed, he didn't teach it for himself, "What is my favorite? Be careful that your sister-in-law will be jealous."

"It's my elder brother's favorite. It's soft on the outside and strong on the inside. No matter how soft it is, it's strong and independent. It's not a vine in the garden, but a strong grass in the wind. The wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates." Zhu Qing looked serious. , she wasn't joking.

Xue Xun let out a long sigh, his preferences really couldn't be concealed, "Since you know, you know what I admire most about you. Even if the second sister enters the palace and becomes a concubine, she seems to be a servant of Israel, she is also my heart's love. The strong grass that can't be broken by blowing or raining."

"Zhu Qing knows." Zhu Qing knew it, so she no longer had any fear in front of Xue Xun. Even if the division of power in the inner house would make Xue Wang's displeased, she never backed down. She knew what she wanted, and even more knew Xue Xun's wishes Where is the bottom line. "These four people are all talents to be made. I ask my brother to accept them as righteous sisters. They will be of great use in the future."

"Aren't you disgusted?" Xue Xun did intend to give these people identities and allow them to marry, but they were trained to serve others. Don't laugh at the poor.

"It should be righteous, brother, don't worry, they are also willing." Zhu Qing would not tell Xue Xun that since the rich and powerful have given their "sisters" to other forces as concubines and pets, they will naturally say verbally These are "beloved sisters", but after these people are sent to other people's inner courtyards, there is no return ceremony, and there will be no "mother's family" to visit, even the poor and good girls.There will be no ceremony when I think that I am a righteous sister, and I have never advertised it, let alone recorded it in the genealogy.When Xue Xun recognized her and the second sister, no one knew that the second sister would have such good luck in the future, but Xue Xun did it anyway, this is his sincerity.Xue Xun treats people with sincerity, like a spring breeze. Just by looking at the appearance of the women he admires and loves, one can know that Xue Xun never treats women as playthings, but treats them as human beings, real people.Humans are so greedy that they can't wait to see Shu. When they become human, they no longer want to be playthings, and when they stand up, it is difficult to kneel down.

"Then ask them to come and meet." Xue Xun said with a smile.

"Tingting, Yuanyuan, Minmin, and Fangfang have met the Duke." The four of them are still soft and have a unique temperament.

"Get up and sit down."

"Thank you, Mr. Guo." The four sat upright in response.At this moment, I can see the difference between them. Their knees are not so soft, and they won't kneel at every turn. Their eye sockets are not so shallow, and they burst into tears at every turn.

"Big sister told me that you are willing to be my righteous sisters, right?"

"Thanks to Lord Guo for not giving up." Tingting nodded respectfully and leaned forward slightly.

"The Loyalty Duke's Mansion is not invincible for ten thousand years, and I have no control over your future fate, do you know that?"

"I know, I have learned a lesson in tactics." Yuanyuan replied, if they were trained as playthings at the beginning, then in the past few years they have been taught to be qualified housewives and housewives.As the saying goes, it is easy to learn bad and difficult to learn good, but it is not true. People yearn for the light. When they were in hell, they still wanted to be human like moths to the flames. Now that they have the opportunity to be upright, they want to be human.

"That's good, let's change the name now, you know the practice of the eldest sister and the second sister."

"My surname is Fang, and my name is Qinghe." Tingting dared to say her ancestor's surname because she was an upright person. At this time, she would not let her surname be ashamed.

"Third Sister." Xue Xun nodded, Tingting... Fang He got up and saluted, deeply adored.

"I don't remember my surname. I would like to take my elder brother's surname. I saw the roses blooming brilliantly in the past, and they never stopped prospering throughout the year. I named myself Xue Qiang." Yuanyuan continued.

"Fourth sister." Xue Xun nodded, and Xue Qiang also saluted.

There are also Minmin and Fangfang, who named themselves Shen Qiongzhi and Xue Lu respectively.

"The fourth and sixth sisters remember their surnames, but they still remember their relatives in their hometown. I can find them for you."

"It was agreed when we sold it to someone else, that life and death are irrelevant. Although we use our surnames, we should report to Shengen. Now my sixth sister and I are both from Xue's family." Yuanyuan stood up and replied.Xue Xun's guess was correct, they were all children of poor peasant families, they were bought at a high price to be trained by people, and they served to win over the nobles.Didn't the family know that it was wrong to pay such a high price at the beginning?No, they even thought it was the Goulanyuan brothel who came to buy people, but they still sold them, but in exchange for thirty-five copper coins, to raise older brothers, the family members probably thought they were gone. It's swearing, relatives who are willing to be bitches, no one wants to believe their innocence.What Sister Zhu Qing said is good, if you grow up drinking your blood like this, and want to continue to eat meat and bones in the future, don't worry about it.

"Since that's the case, I will formally introduce you to everyone during the Mid-Autumn Festival feast, and I will add to the family tree when the ancestors are worshipped at the end of the year."

"Thank you, brother." The four bowed again. From now on, they have names and natal families. They are not playthings when they are alive, and they are not lonely ghosts who bring shame to the family when they die.

Xue Xun looked at all kinds of beauties standing in front of him. Could it be that he wants to repeat the fate of the Kong family and use the marriage of women to settle the whole country?

After the four of them retreated, Xue Xun asked stupidly, "Don't you need to tell me anything? I feel like I'm cultivating spies."

Zhu Qing glanced at him angrily, and said: "Even at the beginning, His Majesty never intended to use them as spies. The existence of beauties is capital in itself. How to dote on a beauty is to treat the forces behind her well. As long as the beauties Being favored, the benefits will naturally flow continuously, where there is a need to train beauties to be spies, there are more flaws for no reason."

It turns out that the essence of beauty tricks has never been about stealing secrets, but using beauty to soften one's mind and deceive the public.

Although these four righteous sisters are good, they are only icing on the cake for the great cause of the Xue family. Xue Xun is still at a loss as to how the Xue family can get out of the predicament.

Xue Xun was depressed for many days, and even the heartless Xue Wangshi and the innocent and lovely Xue Baochai found out. As for Xue Pan, he had already participated in foreign affairs, and he was also worried.

Xue Baochai, who has always been steady and generous, ran up to Xue Xun in small steps, handed over a blueprint of a bicycle, and asked, "Daddy, what is this? A toy you made for Baochai?"

The bicycle, one of the most successful human-powered machines invented by mankind, is a complex machine composed of simple parts and a representative of the industrial revolution.

bike!Industrial Revolution!

Xue Xun is like enlightenment!What was his goal when he first got here?Wealthy world!Now Jiangxi is equivalent to his fiefdom, and there are foreign trade subsidies. His private treasury is more than Jiangxi's tax revenue. The money has blinded his ambition and made him forget the goal he set at the beginning.The industrial revolution is the most convenient and effective way to accumulate wealth, Xue Xun suddenly realized.

Don't forget your original intention, Xue Xun beat his head, don't forget that you are a man determined to carry the banner of anti-feudalism!

It is clearly stated in the history books that the enlightenment of capitalism in our country began with the small handicraft workshops of the Ming Dynasty. Now that Daqing inherited the Song Dynasty, it is also equivalent to the Ming Dynasty, and it is time for him to contribute.With him as the guide, transitioning from capitalism to a higher level of social form, maybe he can realize the Datong world of "complete market, sound legal system, and distribution according to needs" earlier.

These, in Xue Xun's lifetime, he could not see.Those lofty and distant goals can only be kept in his notebook as conjectures, waiting for future generations to discover.

Now, capitalism is only in its infancy. What he has to do now is to support merchants and handicraftsmen, starting from improving machinery, liberating manpower, and realizing the division of labor.
