After hearing Wang Zheng's explanation, Yaoji felt angry and funny. This old fool thought that by divorcing his concubine, he could restore his reputation among his friends. This was too naive. He was a perfect example of how the older he got, the worse he became.
Therefore, there is no age gap between the two parties, and the misunderstanding is pointed out in sharp words: "Aiqing was baptized first, but married a concubine later. He knew the canon before the baptism, but still married a concubine, which means that he either doesn't mind, or is completely unafraid. Today If you divorce your concubine to understand your heart, you are exchanging the happiness of the concubine for your own selfish desires. Shen has been married to Aiqing for many years. At this age, how can she remarry after being divorced? Aiqing's move is tantamount to being indifferent. Sir, you are neglecting your husband and your way of being a human being! If it spreads out, Aiqing’s sin will be very serious. Where are the imperial court and me? How can the imperial court understand your heart? How can I understand your heart? Aiqing is almost seventy years old. I have been an official for many years, haven't I ever thought about taking the overall situation into consideration? Today is different from the past. I will not allow any court official to directly or indirectly damage the reputation of the court, whether in office or in office! When the person involved has not violated the law, neither will I. I will allow anyone to use any excuse to create trouble and intimidate the marriage of court officials! I will give Aiqing two choices. One is to quit teaching. The other is to maintain the status quo. Otherwise, the whole family will be given a mountain to mine! "
Isn’t it just that he married two women?
What's the big deal?
In the Ming Empire, as long as you can afford it, you can marry anyone you want!
The imperial court doesn't care. A bunch of scraps are just messing around and meddling in other people's business.
A certain prince could just ignore the other people waiting, but now that an important NPC is involved, he must intervene.
The old Wangtou is almost seventy years old, and he is still trying to die for divorcing his concubine. I don’t know if this guy is really smart or really mentally retarded.
The principle of Yaoji is that no one else has the right to interfere with the marriage of court officials except oneself.
If you want to fish in troubled waters and stir up trouble, you are asking for trouble.
In a word - the mine welcomes you!
The two options given to him by the prince were a bit too strong. After Wang Zheng thought about it, he still couldn't make up his mind, so he excused himself and said: "Your Highness, these two strategies are indeed too difficult, and it is difficult for me to choose between them!"
In his heart, Wang Zheng still hoped that the prince would settle the matter and stop asking about his family background, and wait until later to find a reason to divorce the Shen family.
Yaoji snorted, stopped urging, and issued an ultimatum: "No rush, my dear, you don't have to make an immediate decision. Just reply to me within three days. Don't try to divorce me, otherwise I won't let anyone go." A person who starts chaos and ends up giving up, especially a court official. I can tell Aiqing responsibly that divorced concubine is equivalent to letting me send the whole Wang family to mine. There will be no criticism in the mine, and all the miners will work for it. He works hard to carry ore with only one mouthful of food, and has no time to care about other people's affairs! I wanted to reuse Aiqing before, but I didn't expect that Aiqing's character was so bad that he even tried to divorce his concubine to clear his mind, which was almost the same as the one who framed his wife. Yang Shicong is right! Where to go, Aiqing, think about it slowly! If Aiqing is stubborn and insists on going her own way, the Shandong mine is the final destination of Aiqing's family, and your son who was adopted by a relative will also be captured for mining!"
You are not one-sided, you are very flexible, so I have to break it for you today.
This method is not just for Wang Zheng, but applies to any court official.
If something similar to Wang Zheng happens to Li Zheng, Liu Zheng, Yang Zheng and others in the future, we can refer to this matter to deal with it.
This is the side effect of the warlocks who are fighting against each other. Find an opportunity to remind Lao Tang not to let them stretch their claws too long.
You can explain your own ideas, but they cannot conflict with the previous life of the person concerned, let alone affect the reputation of the court.
"I...obey your order!"
Wang Zheng didn't expect that the matter would go straight to Sheng Cong, and the prince's way of handling it was so arbitrary, leaving him no way out, so he could only tremble and accept the "reasonable suggestions" first, and then go back and think of a solution.
The Shen family is really troublesome. If she can't give up, she will inevitably be criticized many times in the future and criticized by her colleagues. If she doesn't stop here, the whole family will be sent to Shandong to mine.
Thinking of his own reputation, Wang Zheng was a little reluctant, but thinking of his young grandson, Wang Zheng was intimidated by the mine. It was not a place for good people, and he was afraid that if a strong man dug for ten years, he would be killed alive. So exhausted.
The lives of his whole family were harmed by him. Wang Zheng was determined not to do such an extremely immoral thing. After all, the price was too high. Furthermore, if the prince is angered by this, the Wang family will never have peace in the future.
In line with the concept of carrots and sticks, Yaoji's rewards and punishments seemed to be a combination of pros and cons. He said in a much kinder tone: "As long as Aiqing agrees to me, gives up the idea of divorcing my concubine from now on, and treats the Shen family well, I will I give this book to my beloved, as a reward for my beloved to step back from the brink and return from the lost path. The thing described in this book is a machine that can move forward without the need for animal power and relies on one's own strength. It is unique in the world, even today There is none in the West. If Aiqing refuses, then I will give this book to Bo Jue, Jie Xuan, and Fang Yizhi!"
After being introduced by a certain prince, Jie Xuan, Fang Yizhi, and Gong Yonggu were all extremely curious about the objects described in the brochure. They tried to guess, but they thought that their brain power was far inferior to that of the prince. In fact, they did not even have the ability to catch wind and shadow.
Bo Jue was flipping through the bound book in the corner. His ears had already automatically ignored most of the previous dialogue between the monarch and his ministers. When he heard "Mechanical, Unique, and Gifted to Himself", he immediately became more energetic and stared with blazing eyes. This way.
After reading some of the contents in the bound book, he had great respect for the prince in his heart. What the prince thought was far beyond him who was like an ant. Since the book in his hand was so powerful, what about the one on the prince's desk? The other one will definitely be extremely subtle.
A machine that does not require animal power but relies on human power to move forward. Isn't that a handcart?
But Bo Jue immediately dismissed this very funny idea. The things the prince recommended would definitely not be so vulgar.
Bo Jue really couldn't think of other things similar to this introduction, and he was only left with an increasingly strong curiosity.
He knew that his life could not be sold to him twice, but what if Wang Zheng was stupid?
Doesn't this mean that you have done yourself a big favor?
It's not good to calculate other things, but for exploring science, Bo Jue's mind is very bright.
He stretched his neck and looked across eagerly, hoping that Wang Zheng would decline the prince's kindness on the spot...
As for the young man, he is a bachelor anyway, so he doesn’t care about other people’s wives and concubines!
Bo Jue didn't want to see Wang Zheng contradicting the prince, but in his heart he really wanted to get the booklet immediately.
Seeing that everyone was aroused by him, Yaoji said bluntly: "I plan to set up a factory to specialize in the machinery described in this book. I and my consort will invest money in the shares. Fang Aiqing and Jie Ai will Qing and Bo Aiqing used their brainpower to invest in the shares. If Wang Aiqing agrees to my previous request, he can also use his brainpower to invest in the shares and work together to make this fairyland machine available in Japan."
Early bicycles didn't cost much, and the frame and handlebars were easy to make. The key was the chain, gears, tires, spokes and other components.
However, with the help of these ingenious Frankensteins, the bicycle was quickly built. Although the performance was not much different from that of later generations, it was finally launched.
Due to the unsatisfactory quality, talented players like Bo Jue will spend a lot of their spare time repairing their own spinning bikes in the future...
Although Gong Yonggu didn't see the pictures in the brochure, he was very enthusiastic about this project. The prince asked him to run a newspaper before, which was a good thing that made him a lot of money. Now that he wants to produce such machinery, it must be as good as the newspaper. Usually the profit is huge: "Your Highness, I don't know how much silver is needed to make this immortal machine? I hope you can go back and raise money!"
The Prince Consort estimates that this project will cost a lot, at least more than 5,000 taels, and he needs to prepare it earlier.
Now that he has mentioned it, Yaoji simply explained his plan to everyone: "Uncle, there is no need to worry. To start this project in the early stage, it does not require much silver taels. I will invest 5,000 taels of silver and occupy 50% of the shares. Uncle Just invest one thousand taels, and everyone will get 10% of the share dividends, just like everyone else."
If Lao Wangtou is really looking for life and death and dares to categorically reject his kindness, then 10% of his shares can be transferred to Gong Yonggu.
Hearing this, Fang Yizhi hurriedly stood up and saluted, feeling terrified in his heart: "Thanks to His Highness for your love, how can Cao Min be able to hold 10% of the shares?"
He didn't take anything, he just used his brains. It was obvious that the prince gave him such a generous offer because of the poor reputation of his father, who was the governor of Huguang.
Jiexuan also seconded the idea, asking the prince to get only 6,000 taels of silver, which was a bit unreasonable. If he held 10% of the shares, he would have to come up with several hundred taels.
Yaoji waved his hand, signaling for everyone to stop arguing, and explained: "Exploring the mysteries of science itself is an extremely expensive activity. An experiment can easily consume thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silver. I am doing this. , but also for your future sake. Don’t refuse, even if you are a little confused now, you will understand it later.”
Everyone has seen that Mr. Ai failed to make filament N times, but few people have thought that if it were not for his rich family and Mr. Ai playing this money-burning game, he would have gone bankrupt long ago and went to a tavern to cry to Tesla. …
The purpose of establishing the bicycle factory is to prevent these top talents from ruining their families. In the future, they will marry wives and have children, and support a large family, which will cost at least dozens of taels of silver every month.
If it weren't for the factory's dividends, they would have spent their own money to conduct the experiment, and the family would probably be in trouble, and the wives would have to go to the Crown Princess to complain.
You can think of it with your heels. In the end, the princess must have paid to appease a group of resentful women. After all, isn't that using a certain prince's money to fill a hole for these talented people?
If this is the routine, it is better to divide the shares today, lest the Crown Princess give a certain Prince a blowjob at night one day in the future...
Of course, they only have the right to dividends and have no power to intervene in the management of the factory or influence the board of directors. They can just let their wives lie at home counting money.
In this case, this kind of machinery must be widely sold in order to earn a lot of money.
This further aroused everyone's curiosity and wanted to see his true face in Lushan.
But he still has to wait three days, unless Wang Zheng can make up his mind immediately.
Everyone did not dare to rush the prince, so they could only focus on Lao Wangtou.
Being the center of attention made Wang Zheng feel uncomfortable all over.
Wang Zheng finally understood that if he did not agree to the prince's request, his whole family would be sent to the mine.
Even if you are late in agreeing, you will be despised by everyone, and this will be the case every day from now on...
He also wanted to see that fairy machine, but he was still struggling with how to choose.
Agreeing to the prince's request, from now on, he would not be able to see many warlocks again.
If you refuse, the end will be extremely miserable. You don't think about yourself, but you also have to think about your young grandson.
It was like an extremely heavy stone weighing on his heart, so heavy that Wang Zheng could hardly breathe.
If this matter is not resolved quickly, the lives of the whole family will be in danger, let alone trying to survive.
"Your Highness, I am bold and want to build the airship and the machine before heading to the mountain..."
Jiexuan felt a little confused when he saw Bo Jue taking the airship brochure, because he was also interested in astronomy and had always dabbled in it.
It would be an extremely glorious thing to see the airship ascend into the sky with one's own eyes, but it would delay his appointment to the Shandong Navy.
If I come up with a bunch of novelty gadgets, I guess this guy will never go back to work in the navy in his life. What's wrong with that?
"Airships are by no means something that can be achieved overnight. Aiqing can just concentrate on joining the Navy. After being commissioned as a military service, the Navy will naturally be able to get a number of airships. I will also build a type of airship for the Navy that can take off on the sea. The battleship is called an 'aircraft carrier', or aircraft carrier for short. With airships, the navy can detect the enemy in advance, adjust its formation first, strike first, and defeat the enemy!"
Yaoji believes that including the steps of making a blowtorch and refining oil, it will take at least three months to half a year to build an airship, accessories and fuel of acceptable quality.
In this process, Jiexuan couldn't actually help much. Letting this guy build bicycles was obviously overkill, so it was better to rush to the Navy as soon as possible.
"I was just stupid, but when I was enlightened by His Highness' holy words, I suddenly understood!"
Jiexuan felt a little relieved when he heard that the navy would also be equipped with airships in the future.
Rather than making these novel objects, he would rather go into battle and kill enemies to realize his ambitions.
Studying astronomy can only be regarded as a hobby. Defeating the Donglu and then reviving the Ming Dynasty is the top priority.
"When this machine is built, I will send someone to send one to Aiqing. Aiqing can work peacefully in the navy. I will send Aiqing there because it involves another big secret. Keep it secret. The level is higher than that of an airship. I’ll tell you before I leave.”
A certain prince often did this kind of thing to whet his appetite. It can be said that he was very good at it. He was able to fool the talented people into confusion, turn around, and lose their way...
"I obey!"
Jiexuan really couldn't think of anything more mysterious than the airship. In his opinion, this airship was already an unrivaled weapon in the fairy world.
No matter how profound it was, it would be beyond his imagination. It was really impossible to guess any clues, but since the prince said it was there, it must be there.
Didn't you see that Bo Jue's expression became extremely arrogant after reading the book given by the prince, as if he had mastered the secrets in it.
This was really hard for Jiexuan to accept. He was here before him anyway, so how could the prince favor one over the other?
