Xu Lian and True Phoenix of the Red Chamber

"Oh, according to what you say, can this still make money?" The emperor now looks at Jia Lian pleasingly, and naturally he is willing to listen to what he has to say, and he also understands the market and the like.

"Of course, science and technology are the primary productive forces." Jia Lian said happily, seeing the emperor's confused expression, he explained very kindly, "If something like this is put into the market, it must be It can make money. Just like shovels need to be purchased, if we research something that people can buy, we can definitely make money. What’s more, we can also earn foreign exchange.”

"Foreign exchange?" The emperor felt more and more confused.

Jia Lian immediately laughed and said, "It is to earn money from foreigners. I read in the book that they have plenty of silver. We sold things to them, but it was all wasted money! Moreover, the increase is our court's money." silver."

The more the emperor heard it, the happier he became. The little worry he had at first was put aside now, "It seems that we need to do more research."

But Jia Lian hurriedly said, "This kind of thing should be done step by step!" If the emperor invests a lot in this all at once and does not have enough income, he will be the one who is unlucky at that time.

It's just that the emperor doesn't like the instability of agriculture, and wants to sell things to make money, so Jia Lian can only come up with an idea, "Then we can only try to see if we can sell to merchants."

"Sell them?" The emperor didn't like merchants, mainly because "merchant" was at the bottom of the list of "scholars, farmers, businessmen", and more importantly, merchants were cunning, so he looked down on those people very much.

Jia Lian really wanted to roll his eyes, Xue Pan is also a businessman, compared with these brutal civil servants in the court, he is definitely as well-behaved and harmless as a little white rabbit!

But he was always not good at telling the emperor about these things. In his impression, the steam engine can also be used in the textile industry, so he took the initiative to suggest, "Those Westerners like our silk and satin, why don't we think of a way to make them?" Some machines can speed up the scale of weaving, and we can also sell more things to Westerners."

The emperor has been influenced by Jia Lian these days and has a tendency to want to fall into the eyes of money. He is naturally happy when he hears it. Money is really important to him and to a country.

Jia Lian got the favor of the Holy Majesty, this is not a trivial matter, but a great event, and the number of people coming to the gate of the Rongguo Mansion suddenly increased.Wang Ziteng also emphasized this with Jia Lian specifically, "You are still young, and now you are valued by the Holy One, don't be arrogant and complacent, you should do things in a down-to-earth way, those messy things have nothing to do with you If you don't care, don't check your hands."

Jia Lian thought that Wang Ziteng was the most unstable one, and now he was shocked when he heard him say this to himself. Could it be that the Wang Ziteng he knew before was also pierced by someone's soul?But he quickly came to his senses, and said with an extremely teachable look, "What uncle taught me, I understand. Do things with your heart and be a low-key person."

Wang Ziteng saw that he performed well, and was very satisfied in his heart, but he did not miss a single bit on the surface, and instead emphasized, "You have to remember clearly what you said today."

Wang Xifeng didn't quite understand what Wang Ziteng meant, but she never dared to rebel against her uncle casually. It could be said that there was no one she was afraid of in the entire Wang family except Wang Ziteng, but Wang Ziteng made her really respect him.Of course, she knew in her heart that what Wang Ziteng said was not wrong at all, but she just didn't want to see Jia Lian being educated.

Jia Lian didn't know what Sister Feng was thinking, and obediently complied with Wang Ziteng's words, but after returning to the house, she heard Sister Feng complained rather unhappily, "I think you are doing very well. , Those people just like to post it, we can't ignore it at all, and so does uncle, compared to us, he should be more careful."

Jia Lian happily listened to her, and only added after she had finished speaking, "You still understand."

Wang Xifeng gave him a sideways glance when he heard it, "Hurry up, don't tell me these nice words in the future, it's all about old couples."

Hearing what she said, Jia Lian laughed immediately, "Even if we are all gray-haired, you are right, I have to tell the truth, right?"

Naturally, Wang Xifeng liked to hear such words very much, so she just ignored what happened just now.

On Wang Ziteng's side, he really started to think about it, maybe he should pay attention to the current problems of the Wang family, "How much money does our family owe the Ministry of Finance?" Whether the family doesn't know, he still has to ask his wife.

Wang Shishi didn't understand this, "I'm afraid I have to ask my sister-in-law." Although she is Wang Ziteng's wife, she doesn't care about the family, so she really doesn't know much about these things.

It's just that she's not very embarrassed to see Wang Huangshi these days, and she doesn't know what Wang Ziteng is thinking. She even threw Wang Ren into the barracks. She didn't give him a serious errand, but let him go from the big head. Starting as a soldier, how old is Wang Ren, and he is still being tossed like this, Wang Huang is just such a son, can he not feel bad in his heart?

Wang Shishi has no son, so she naturally regards Wang Ren as her own son. Therefore, although Wang Ren is seen by others as committing all kinds of evil, she just thinks that this child is restless and ignorant.At this moment, the prince took a ruthless hand. If Wang Huangshi said in her heart that she had no idea, it would be a lie. How could she have the nerve to talk to Wang Huangshi more?

Wang Ziteng couldn't understand her painstaking efforts at all, and said directly, "Then just ask sister-in-law." Not only did he want to ask sister-in-law, but he had already made up his mind to talk to Wang Zisheng.

No matter how inconsequential Wang Zisheng is, he is a man, and he does not have the heart of a loving father. What's more, in his opinion, Wang Ziteng is willing to educate Wang Ren, and that is to give Wang Ren some advice. There is no lump in his heart at all.It's just that Wang Ziteng was puzzled when he asked about the money owed, "Why did you think of this?" He was still worried that something would happen.

Wang Ziteng didn't hide it from him, and said slowly, "I think, we still have to find a chance to pay back the money owed."

When Wang Zisheng heard it, he immediately didn't understand why, "Didn't you think this was not a problem before, besides, there are many people who owe money, and those who are tyrannical, who don't owe money?"

Wang Ziteng never expressed any hope for his brother's IQ, but insisted, "Some things were impossible or unnecessary to do before, but now they have to be done."

Wang Zisheng was startled when he heard that, "But what's wrong?" Even Wang Ziteng felt that it was something he had to do, and he just thought about it a little bit, and he felt very worried.

Fortunately, Wang Ziteng didn't have the intention to scare him. He just said, "We have to think about it for the sake of future generations. What kind of virtue did Lian'er have at the beginning? How did he become a Jinshi? If it's about his knowledge, it would be so good. , do you really believe it? It’s not that their Rongguo Mansion returned the money from the Ministry of Households, it was a reward from the Holy Majesty to their family!”

"Look at Jia Lian's success now," Wang Ziteng said, a little envious, "We are not young anymore, and we will still have to rely on Ren'er in the future, but you will not compare him to what he looks like." I know, we still have to pave the way for him."

"As long as the road is paved, it doesn't matter even if he has no ability, and it will not harm the family," Wang Ziteng said slowly, "What's more, the Holy One will not let us do our best for our whole life. His life is too difficult." No matter how stupid a person is, as long as the emperor is willing to let him have something to eat, he will never starve to death.

When Wang Zisheng heard that Wang Ziteng was thinking about his son, he was even more moved. He knew that he was out of tune and that his good life depended on his younger brother, so in many cases, Wang Ziteng said No matter what, he will never object.

But now, Wang Ziteng is also concerned about Wang Ren's future plans, so he is naturally more excited. He doesn't know much about the money owed by the mansion, but he can ask his wife, it's not a problem at all to find out.But the problem is that since the family owes money and has not paid it back for so many years, there is no need to think about it to know that it is definitely not a small expense. For such a sum of money, he really has no idea.

Wang Ziteng also knows that paying back the money is definitely not a simple matter. Just look at the Rongguo Mansion. Before paying back the money, they even ransacked the Lai family. They are still tight. Can their family come up with such a sum of money? , Wang Ziteng was actually very worried in his heart.It's just that no matter what, the money that should be repaid still has to be paid back. They can take their time, and there is no need to pay it all at once. Wang Ziteng thought about it. If it is not possible, then they can only pay in installments, and there is no interest anyway.

When Wang Shishi talked to Wang Huangshi, he also mentioned the future, "We should think about the children more, but the money is indeed a troublesome matter."

How did Wang Huangshi not understand, "But, we are afraid that we will not be able to get the money for a while, not to mention, we can't empty out the house for this matter, can we?" But, what's more, today's life is not as good as before.
