The small sea-going ship in Qingzhou, Shandong Province has been offline. Of course, this would not be possible without Li Miao’s full support. Li Miao spared no effort in both technology and finance. Li Miao had already prepared the most advanced manufacturing drawings of the small sea-going ship. Sent to Qingzhou.
In this era when there was no machine power, small sea-going ships still used sails as power. Therefore, small sea-going ships were also called double-sailed small sea-going ships. They were the most advanced ships on the sea in the world. The ship is strong, corrosion-resistant, and has the fastest speed.
Although it is called a two-sail boat, it is already an extra-large vessel compared with the boats on the inland river. In inland rivers, we can only sail in large rivers and rivers.
The difficulty in making a double-sailed small sea-going boat is its corrosion resistance. Generally, large inland river boats do not dare to sail in the sea. It is not that they are afraid of wind and waves. The wind and waves are not big when sailing in coastal areas. The key is that they are afraid of the corrosive power of sea water. .
Fortunately, Li Miao obtained the most advanced technology in the world in the Hanlin Academy Library. The emperors and ministers of the Great Zheng Dynasty kept throwing it away in the corners of the library like waste paper to gather dust. Only Li Miao regarded it as a treasure.
The first major event since the beginning of the Zheng Dynasty this year, Jia Yuanchun of Rongguo Mansion was named a virtuous concubine. This will definitely be a great joy for the Rong Ning Mansion, and it will have far-reaching significance. Rongning's second mansion is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Happy event. There is also an endless stream of noble families coming to congratulate him.
The entire Rong Ning Mansion was filled with joy. From Mrs. Shi down to the servants, everyone was overjoyed. Can you be unhappy? Jia Yuanchun was granted the title of virtuous concubine. Listen to the word virtuous, and the virtuous concubine herself is only the first concubine below the queen.
Therefore, the Xue family completely hugged the thick leg of Rong Guofu and never looked back.
Jia Yingchun's designation as a virtuous concubine was also of profound significance to Wang Ziteng, and it can be said that it had an even more profound impact. Originally, he had hoped that his sister, the Xue family, would come to seek refuge when he was desperate, but now it can be said that he has completely stopped thinking about Wang Ziteng.
Could it be that the emperor did this on purpose? If he wanted to completely cut off his own money bag, Wang Ziteng had to guess this way.
Wang Ziteng started his career by relying on Jia's military power, and now he has become the number one member of the honorable army. Wang Ziteng's ability to accept Jia's military power must be inseparable from the emperor's strong support. It shows that the emperor regards Prince Teng as one of his own.
As Wang Ziteng's power becomes stronger and stronger, new ideas will naturally arise. This moment and that moment. Gradually, Wang Ziteng began to have enough power, and the emperor had to look good on him to win him over. It’s impossible not to win over.
When Wang Ziteng's strength reaches a certain level, he has the strength to not need to rely on anyone in advance. Whoever takes that position will reuse him and win over him. Then why should he take those political risks? You can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
Now Wang Ziteng has only shown signs of this. His biggest problem now is lack of financial resources. After all, Wang Ziteng still has a shallow background, and his family does not have much financial resources to support him. Therefore, his sister Xue's family has become his best choice.
Prince Teng now accepted the military power of the Jia family, but the officialdom of the Zheng Dynasty was corrupt. The military salary was exploited by officials at all levels, and there was not much left in the hands of Wang Ziteng. Although Wang Ziteng was very powerful, the officials could be said to be lenient, and the military pay they received was only enough to barely feed the army.
Wang Ziteng's army can be regarded as the best treatment among the armies of the Great Zheng Dynasty. The combat power is also relatively good, and good combat power is only relative. This shows how far the combat power of the Zheng Dynasty's army has declined.
But Wang Ziteng is very ambitious. He is an ambitious man. It is not enough for the army to have enough food. It must also be well fed. Only soldiers will have good physical fitness. Only in this way can we have good combat power.
And more investment must be made in the equipment of the soldiers.
Don't count on the funding of the imperial court. This is the consequences of corruption in government. But where does this money come from? So in order to take care of the overall situation, my sister's family didn't have to worry about much.
As for the Xue family's poor management and the fact that the shopkeepers had embezzled a lot of money, these were all trivial matters to Wang Ziteng.
As long as the Xue family surrendered to him, he would vomit out what he had eaten, and he would not even be able to make a profit, but would have to make those money-grubbing shopkeepers bankrupt. Not even the bones and dregs are left. Wang Ziteng is a ruthless man, otherwise he would not be the candidate to inherit the power of Jia's army.
If Wang Ziteng completely recovers the Xue family's property, he can completely make up for the last shortcoming in Wang Ziteng's hands. It is equivalent to the Jia family's military power plus the Xue family's financial resources.
These are two of the four major families. At that time, Wang Ziteng could sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and watch the world with a smile.
The emperor might have already seen Wang Ziteng's intention, so he killed two birds with one stone. Don’t you, Wang Ziteng, want to gain fame? Are you waiting for the Xue family to come to your door? Of course, you, Wang Ziteng, can continue to fight with Jia Mansion. Now Rongguo Mansion will not give in anymore.
It turns out that the Rongguo Mansion was counting on you, Wang Ziteng, to take care of you. Are they also in-laws after all? Now that Jia Yuanchun is a concubine, Jia Yuanchun is not someone else and can wait for others to show filial piety.
To put it bluntly, Jia Yuanchun was just a white lady with no foundation. She suddenly occupied the high position of a virtuous concubine and wanted money everywhere in the palace. Otherwise, not even an ordinary eunuch can give orders.
Do you think the money in Rongguo Mansion should be spent, let alone Wang Ziteng's biological sister, Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng's wife, is now the head wife of Rongguo Mansion. Can you not worry about your daughter's affairs?
If Wang Ziteng looks down, Rong Guofu will certainly not be able to compete with him. But Wang Ziteng will have to lose his reputation. How will Wang Ziteng survive in the future? Do you want this reputation anymore?
Li Miao was analyzing the emperor's chess moves and was not trying to impress him. Good move, good move. Therefore, because Wang Ziteng's financial path was cut off, he had to return to the emperor completely without regrets until his death. But even though the emperor would still reuse Wang Ziteng, he would always feel a little knotty and unhappy.
Li Miao knew Wang Ziteng's final outcome. I see. Good move. Maybe Wang Ziteng was too greedy. But some people say that greed is the driving force behind human progress. This is also very reasonable. If everyone does not want to make progress, it is really impossible for society to develop.
If Wang Ziteng did not want to make progress, he would not be able to take over the military power of Jia's family. Maybe it’s just not enough luck?
At this time, Aunt Xue was a sister on one side and a brother on the other. What will she choose? In fact, it is very simple. The elder sister, Mrs. Wang, only wants her sponsorship, but the elder brother wants to take the blame. As a result, Aunt Xue and her sister, Mrs. Wang, hit it off and reached a strategic cooperation agreement.
Completely cutting off his brother Wang Ziteng's financial path. In the end, Wang Ziteng's life was ruined.
It's really hard to judge what is right and wrong. Frogs are dying and snakes are hungry. It’s all about survival and living better.
The emperor then began to issue decrees, in order to facilitate the concubines to reunite with their relatives and share their family relationship. The royal concubines are granted permission to visit their relatives. First, there is the first list. Jia Yuanchun, the virtuous concubine, is at the top of the list. The virtuous concubine is allowed to go home to visit relatives during the Lantern Festival next year.
