"We, the Qing Dynasty, have issued strict orders since entering the customs. The children of the Eight Banners are not allowed to do business or learn crafts. All men of the banners must prepare for war!"
"It wasn't until the reign of Emperor Kangxi that the three feudal lords were pacified, and the ban was slowly relaxed to allow the children of the Eight Banners to study and participate in the imperial examination. At first, we were not even allowed to study literature!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuncu, what do you think we can do? Studying is not our strong point compared with the Han people, but wars don't happen every year, and not all children can be generals!"
"We are not allowed to do anything, and we can't do anything. Why should we not be playboys?"
Zhu Baoyi gritted his teeth and Xinyi said angrily, "Even if you scold us for being greedy and shameless, we eat, drink and have fun... but these skills were not taught by you Han people!"
"In all the years I have been an official, why is it that corruption has not been taught by Han masters through words and deeds, nor has it been taught by Han colleagues step by step?"
"Those Eight Banners dandies in the capital, playing with eagles and dogs, rubbing walnuts in snuff bottles... How many other gadgets were invented by us Manchus? Many of them are playthings left over from the Ming Dynasty!"
"It's just that after we learned it, it became more common for us to play! It's the Han people who are the founders of dandy tricks!"
"You are scolding us like this now? We are not convinced. Where can we go to reason with you?"
Ouch! Xiao Letian was happy, Zhu Bao was okay, he was able to speak some truth at this time, regardless of whether what he said made sense or not, this courage deserves a few words of praise!
Fu Hui was so frightened that she angrily walked up and pinched Zhu Bao's ears, "Who are you yelling at? Nothing big or small... You are very brave. Aren't you very good at crying when you lie to me?"
Xiao Letian waved his hand, "Forget it, no need to act! Bring a chair and sit down!"
"If you can say these words, you don't look like a fool. In addition, considering the reaction of the people below, one good thing about you is that you never deal with unjust cases!"
"There is no such thing as bullying men and dominating women. It seems that there is still some conscience in my heart... Since there is still hope, I can't just stand by and watch!"
"In this rickshaw industry, I'm thinking about how I can make the Fucha family prosperous for a hundred years... Even if it doesn't last for a hundred, eighty or ninety years, it's no problem!"
"This is much better than the hard-core crops that the imperial court gave you! The patent rights of this rickshaw are in my hands. I give it to you as a private person, but I have conditions..."
"At the beginning, I will provide you with technicians and managers, but I will only help you for three years... After three years, your family must train its own talents who can take over!"
"Don't underestimate the rickshaw. There are still many supporting industries... Do you know how many people are required to research just one vulcanized tire technology?"
"The car's bearings, steel spokes, wheel hubs...these all require fine processing. Do you have such technology?"
"Don't always expect others to produce these key parts. If you rely on others, you will have to wait for others to get stuck! It's not like you don't have money, why don't you build your own factories and do scientific research?"
"We must keep the core technology in our own hands! Whether it is technology or management, your Fucha family must cultivate talents!"
Zhu Bao rubbed his numb legs and whispered, "It's easy to talk about talents... There are many people in the family who don't have errands to do, but what about the court? If these Eight Banners children get involved in business, will they be impeached?" "
Xiao Letian shook his head, "You don't have to worry about this! Zai Chun revealed to me that his reforms will first start from your Eight Banners!"
"Especially this old rule that banner people cannot learn crafts or do business must be broken! We can't always rely on hard-core crops!"
When Zhu Bao heard this, his face suddenly turned pale. He muttered, "This... this is going to cause a big chaos! Uncle... you don't know the virtues of those old stubborns in the capital..."
"To ask them to agree to change the ancestral rules? It would be more uncomfortable than killing them. There will definitely be trouble!"
"Haha... trouble? Are there not enough troubles in Sijiu City? If Zaichun was afraid of making trouble, how could he have had the previous chaos?"
When Zhu Bao heard this, he shrank in shock and did not dare to continue. "Now that my uncle has accurate information, my nephew is relieved! What he didn't say is that he did it himself, isn't it? The Fucha family are not all dandies. , there are also many promising children!”
"It is true that there are quite a few spoiled members of the main family's direct lineage...but there are still many ambitious children from the side families who are descendants of concubines! We can also learn from His Majesty's experience when he established the new imperial army!"
"Specially select some bastards from the collateral lineage, those children who have been suffering from no chance to get ahead, and only they will truly cherish every opportunity!"
"Hey! This is to the point. Don't always apply your little cleverness to the old customs in the court officialdom. They are all useless things for the future of the family. No matter how well you learn, they will be useless to the future of the family!"
"A new era is about to begin. You have to pay careful attention... I'm tired. I will send someone to talk to you later about the specific operations. Don't come to say hello tonight. I also have to have a good sleep... "
What a clever person Zhu Baona was. As soon as he heard this, he glanced at his aunt, and Fu Hui blushed!
"Uncle and aunt go to bed early. My nephew won't disturb me anymore... I specially invited a famous chef from Jinan to write the world water sign. For the dinner, uncle can order as he pleases. This is a little filial piety from my nephew!"
"Tomorrow morning, my nephew will come back to say hello to you..."
Fu Hui angrily stepped on Xiao Letian's feet and said, "I'll go see my nephew off...you can stay alone!"
When Zhu Bao heard this, he quickly waved his hands, "Oh, what's the rule? There's no reason for an aunt to send her nephew off. This is trying to hurt me..."
"Stop talking nonsense, I have to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner! I'm going with you by the way, you really think I want to see you..."
Fu Hui angrily took Zhu Bao by the ear and went out. Xiao Letian looked at it and shook his head and whispered, "Sister Hui! I have to help you even if you don't open your mouth to me... Now I must improve your family's strength." Got it!"
"Hey...it's hard to enjoy the blessings of being together. I have to keep both sides of the scale balanced at all times! Your Fucha family needs to be tidy. You have been outclassed by the Fan family!"
"If there is too much difference in strength, it's not a good sign!"
Fu Hui carried Zhu Bao's ear to the corner of the garden, then secretly took out a piece of paper from her arms and stuffed it into Zhu Bao's hand. "Keep it away and don't spread it outside. This is the lifeblood of our Fucha family's future!"
"I'll send a telegram to Fuqing in the evening. You can discuss the business matters carefully. Auntie can only help you so much!"
Zhu Bao looked around, and when he opened the piece of paper, he took a breath of air and said, "Oh... this is... you can make this thing?"
"Yes, this is the railway layout of the future Qing Dynasty that I stole. It is the first version of the sketch..."
"Silly boy, take this picture and buy land quickly...the land on both sides of the railway will appreciate thousands of times in the future! The money you have in hand will buy land, and the money you make from the rickshaw industry will also buy land in the future!"
"My child... if you have money and food in your hands, you won't panic. You have to strive for success! You have to strive for success!"
