In early April, Wen Muzhi brought his people back from Xirong, and with him came carts of high-end gems, leather goods, spices, medicinal materials, rare animals, plants, and birds.
These things will be selected by the emperor first, and the rest will be put up for bidding in the "Wen Feng Lai" auction house. Most of the silver earned will be handed over to the national treasury, and a small portion will be divided equally between Wen Muzhi and Ning Yue. Well, These two people are the major shareholders who came here after hearing the news.
At the same time, Wen Muzhi also entered the Ministry of Household Affairs and became a fifth-grade doctor.
Whenever the prime minister sees his son, he will feel proud. The status of a businessman is low, but who would have thought that his son would catch the emperor's eye because of his ability in business and suddenly become a fifth-rank official!
Even though he was the prime minister, his son did not dare to arrange an official position for him without passing the imperial examination. Moreover, his son's future would never stop here. Although the emperor was a prostitute, he did not follow the rules of ordinary ladies. On the contrary, he was even more...even more... Of pragmatism!
Yes, it is pragmatic!
As long as the officials did their jobs well, she could turn a blind eye to some things. For example, she showed him the pamphlet she got from the King of Chu. At that time, the emperor said, "I have limited energy." , Wen Xiang, please help me keep a closer eye on these officials. As long as they serve the court well, I can let it go, but if they are still stubborn, I will deal with them directly."
For another example, the emperor did not have a strong sense of class towards the so-called scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. She once said personally, "For the prosperity of a country, military, agriculture, economy, medical care, etc. are all important, and the most critical part is , that is talent.
Not only those who have passed the Jinshi examination are talented.
A blacksmith who can make useful iron tools is also a talent. Anyone who can invent new agricultural tools is also a talent. Similarly, business talents are also talents. Therefore, next, I will vigorously cultivate talents from all walks of life, but there are many things that need to be learned. Thanks to the cooperation of all the adults. "
Then the ministers in the court were tricked by their emperor!
Corruption and bribery? Queuing up dissidents? Forming a party for personal gain? Sorry to wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, the business is not done yet. There are still three days before the deadline given by the emperor. If I can’t finish it, the emperor said that my position must be replaced by someone else. Where do I have time? Think of other things!
Ning Yue will be very satisfied with this phenomenon. The ministers are busy and have no time to worry about anything else. Moreover, with her strong advocacy, the newly established R&D Department has developed a seeder that can be held by one person. You can easily sow three rows of grain by setting up a pole, and the row spacing can be adjusted according to the actual conditions in the field. After experiments, this seeder saves at least one labor.
In ancient times, the land was vast and sparsely populated. Almost everyone could be allocated several acres of land or even more. However, due to various reasons, not only were the harvests small, but the efficiency was also low. Nowadays, a new type of plow has been developed, and now there is a seeder. , farmers can naturally save a lot of money in farming.
The R&D department has come up with new things that have been accepted and ready for mass production. People from the Ministry of Industry are responsible for manufacturing. After promoting the things, the sales are not bad. As for the R&D department, from top to bottom, everyone has received rewards from the emperor. A large sum of money.
The new craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry were also happy from ear to ear. They were a little tired, but they made so much money.
In the palace, Su Linglong came over again with tea, and Ning Yue immediately showed a sad look.
Su Linglong came forward with a very discerning eye and asked: "Your Majesty, have you encountered something difficult to solve again? If you tell me, I may be able to give you some advice."
Ning Yue said: "It's not a big deal. You see, these craftsmen must have good skills, but many of them don't even know the words. If you give them a drawing, they sometimes can't understand it. I will do it for them." urgent."
Su Linglong's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, this is not easy, just set up a school! Let these craftsmen sent from all over the country learn first, and tell them that if they don't learn well, they will have to be sent back to their place of origin. Then you will issue an imperial edict. Seven Children over 20 years old, regardless of gender, must go to school to learn to read..."
Balabala paused and said that they were all unreliable anyway, so Ning Yue could only guide her slowly, "But it takes a lot of money to build these schools, and the treasury is empty~"
At this time, the beloved concubine system came online again, "Ding! Please donate 10,000 taels to the host to build the largest school in the capital. The task will reward you with a cement recipe."
Su Linglong was so excited that she wanted to jump. The cement formula. If she presented this thing, the emperor could at least give her three points of favorability, right? !
Ning Yue: This girl really only knows how to serve the emperor.
When she was a queen, it was clear that as long as she showed off a little, her favorability would increase, but she didn't care at all.
Now that she has become the emperor, she is doing everything possible to increase her favorability, completely forgetting that her emperor is a woman, a woman!
No matter how well she does, he can't make her his queen!
"I can donate money. Let's use the capital as a pilot project first. We will only build one school. If the response is good, we can build a second one..." Balabala said a lot again.
Ning Yue reminded her, "It's good that you have this intention. I've seen it, but there are differences between men and women. You have to decide whether to recruit men or women to this school."
In ancient feudal times, if a school were to be opened that both men and women could attend, it would be impossible to recruit even a single student.
Su Linglong: "Oh, why is it so troublesome? Then I'd better just donate to two schools, one for boys and one for girls. Anyway, I have money. The late emperor rewarded me a lot before, so I also spent money." Not finished.”
How about it? I've done a good enough job, right? The emperor's favorability towards me must have increased a lot now, right?
Ning Yue:......
009, who also heard Su Linglong's voice, quickly adjusted his favorability level.
Immediately after, the voice of surprise from the beloved concubine system sounded, "Host, it has gone up. The emperor's favorability for you was originally fifty-nine, but now it is sixty-two.
Three points, it increased by three points in one go, only one point less than the textile machine. This is really not easy! "
】
Su Linglong silently clenched her little fist. Recently, she also found out some rules. If she only gave the emperor clothes, jewelry or food, her favorability would not increase at all, but if what she gave was to express her views on the development of Daxia For favorable things, such as the foot-operated loom, the emperor gave her more favorability points, a full four points.
"System, from now on the rewards you give should be as close to this direction as possible. The hobbies of the Queen and the First Emperor are quite different."
Beloved Concubine System: Nonsense, the Queen's purple energy is many times richer than that of Xuanyuan Hao. Under normal circumstances, Xuanyuan Hao is a person who just eats and waits for death. If the family property is left to him, he can barely make ends meet. It won’t be a waste of money, but it won’t be much development either.
