Jia Cong was overjoyed when he heard this. The emperor's words were enough.
From now on, 'Linhe Tribute Wine' can only be run by one family, and no one can take it away.
If there are any relatives of the emperor who come to demand prescriptions, let them come with the emperor's imperial edict. Without an imperial edict, it is useless for anyone to come.
Jia Cong paid homage again: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Emperor Longqing waved his hand and said, "Get up. Are you relieved now?"
Jia Cong said: "With His Majesty's decree, Wei Chen is completely relieved. Your Majesty, Wei Chen still has some small inventions to dedicate to Your Majesty."
Emperor Longqing asked curiously: "You have tinkered with something again. Bring it over and let me take a look."
Jia Cong took out a stack of information from his arms, checked if Dai Quan was there, and looked up at Emperor Longqing.
Seeing his cautious look, Emperor Long Qing couldn't help but smile: "Didn't I hear that you are quite courageous? Why are you so cautious today? Bring it over. Am I still afraid that you will fail in your assassination?"
Jia Cong smiled awkwardly, walked forward, put the information in his hand on the royal eucalyptus, and then stepped back with his hands down.
Emperor Longqing was very satisfied with Jia Cong's attitude, so he picked up the information on the table and started to read it.
As the pages were turned over, Emperor Longqing's brows gradually wrinkled.
I can understand the introduction inside, but I can't understand the pictures.
"You use pebbles to make coke, and then use the coke to make better steel. I can see clearly that your stamping equipment can be used as a sledgehammer. Is it true?
And the accounting method you mentioned is full of ghostly drawings. What exactly is it written on? I didn't see it at all. "
Jia Cong said: "Your Majesty, that stamping equipment is much more powerful than a sledgehammer. With it and the newly refined steel, it will be much easier to make weapons or armor.
Moreover, the weapons made will be sharper and harder, and the armor made will be lighter, stronger, and better defensive. Our warriors can easily defeat the enemy with their equipment.
That accounting method contains all Western numerals. On the next page, there is a comparison table of two numbers. Your Majesty will understand after taking a look at it. Using this accounting method, it is very simple and clear, and the accounts will be It's clear at a glance. "
After hearing this, Emperor Longqing's expression became cautious, as if it was just like what Jia Cong said.
In the future battlefield, Chu's army will have a greater advantage and even be invincible. This is simply too important.
How did this kid develop his brain? How did he figure out these things?
I lowered my head and turned to the last few pages and saw the number comparison table above.
It is much simpler to use these symbols to replace numbers. After comparing it with the previous table, it becomes somewhat clearer.
I called Jia Cong to me, explained it to him in detail, and gave him some demonstrations, and then I finally understood it.
Looking at such a concise form, I couldn't help but admire it secretly.
Now the people in the Account Department are blessed. With this accounting method, their work will be much easier, and the accounts will be clearer.
"You are a good boy. When you have good things, you can think of the country and me first. I am very happy. The technologies you donated this time are of great significance to our country. Your contribution is great. What do you want? award?"
Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I am too young to be an official now. I have already taken refuge in the Ningguo Mansion. I also relied on your Majesty's great fortune to attack a third-class general. I don't lack anything."
The only thing is that I am too young and easily bullied outside. Can your Majesty give me a job where I can bluff people so that I can bluff people when I go out so as not to be bullied. "
Emperor Longqing stared at this boy for a long time, then nodded and said: "Then you can take the false position of embroidery guard Qianhu. With this position, local officials will not dare to offend you. Don't use it to do anything wrong." .”
The Thousand Households of Xiuyi Guards are equivalent to the Thousand Households of Jinyi Guards in the Ming Dynasty. Although the official position is not high, no one wants to provoke them. Outside, they are much easier to use than Jia Cong's third-grade general.
Jia Cong said happily: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I am just trying to protect myself. I will not cause trouble outside, let alone cause trouble for Your Majesty."
At this time, Dai Quan walked in holding a jar of 'Linhe Tribute Wine'.
"Reporting to your Majesty, all the wine brought by General Jia has been put into the warehouse. A total of 10,000 jars and 50,000 catties."
Emperor Longqing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then glanced at Jia Cong. This boy is quite generous.
Nowadays, it is sold outside for one tael of silver per catty, so these 50,000 jins are equivalent to fifty thousand taels of silver.
In the past, tribute wine only cost half a tael of silver, but this wine is indeed much better. Comparing the two, one tael of silver is really not expensive.
He asked Dai Quan to pour himself a glass and tasted it. It was indeed much better than the ones bought outside.
He nodded and said, "Well, this wine is indeed good. It's softer and tastes better than the ones bought outside. Now that you're interested, Dai Quan, give him a badge from Xiuyi Wei Qianhu."
Jia Cong got the waist card and resigned directly when he saw that nothing happened.
After leaving the palace gate, they joined the convoy and returned to Ningguo Mansion.
Then he pulled a cart of new year's goods and a hundred jars of Linhe tribute wine to the Lixiang Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion.
Xue Pan happened to be at home today. After hearing the scary report, he hurriedly came out.
"Oh, Brother Cong is here. Why did you bring a gift? You are too polite. Please come in quickly."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Isn't this the New Year? Some mountain products were sent from Liaodong. I asked the caravan to go to the beach to get some seafood and brought back some wine. I brought some wine to give my aunt a taste."
Aunt Xue heard the noise and came out. She happened to hear Jia Cong's words and smiled on her face. This child is so sensible.
"Brother Cong, why are you so polite when you come to your aunt's place? Come and sit in the room."
Jia Cong raised his hands and saluted: "Blessings to my aunt. This is a little bit of filial piety from the younger generation. Don't dislike it, aunt."
Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Look at what you kid said, it's too late for aunt to be curious, so how can you dislike it?"
Several people came to the room and sat down, Xue Pan said: "Brother Cong, when I left last time, I said that I would treat you to a good meal when I came back, but when I came back, brother Cong went to Zhuangzi.
I heard that I have received great blessings and become the head of Ningguo Mansion. This is really a step up to the sky. It is really enviable. My brother is here to congratulate brother Cong.
Let's stay at brother's place for dinner tonight. Let us brothers have a good drink and let brother celebrate for you. "
Aunt Xue also said: "I will listen to your brother Xue this time and stay at aunt's place to eat. If you haven't been back for so long, aunt will miss you."
Seeing that Aunt Xue and her son looked enthusiastic and not hypocritical, they readily agreed.
"Auntie has said it, so I won't leave. Don't worry about the commotion later."
Xue Baochai came out, smiled and said: "Brother Cong is here, when did you come back?"
Looking at the beautiful Sister Bao, Jia Cong said with a smile: "I just came back today. I don't miss Sister Bao and Auntie very much, so I hurried over here, hoping to see Sister Bao as soon as possible."
Xue Baochai rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand to pinch Jia Cong's face, and scolded with a smile: "Brother Cong, your mouth is getting more and more clueless and slippery. I don't know who you learned it from? "
Jia Cong smiled and said, "I'm not like this with others. I don't know why, but I can't control my mouth when I see Sister Bao. Hey, it's really distressing!"
Xue Baochai curled her lips and said, "You're just talking nonsense. Didn't you want to take your sister Lin home to be your wife last time? Why didn't I see you snatching her away?"
Jia Cong said with a bitter face: "Actually, I wanted to take Sister Bao home that day. I looked a little panicked when I saw the look in your eyes. I was afraid that I would lose face by telling you. Sister Lin and I were both children, and no one cared. .”
Aunt Xue and Xue Pan watched the two fighting without any scruples. They looked at each other and could only pretend not to notice.
While a few people were chatting and laughing, the food and drinks were prepared, and the four of them sat at the same table, not counting outsiders.
Xue Pan went to move a jar of wine and said with a smile: "Brother Cong, your wine is better. After drinking your Linhe wine, other wines will be difficult to swallow."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Brother Xue, from today on, this is Linhe tribute wine."
The three of them were stunned when they heard this, and then looked at Jia Cong in surprise. This news was so exciting, it would be completely different if it became tribute wine.
Xue Baochai said: "Brother Cong, are you telling the truth? When did it happen?"
Jia Cong said: "As for what happened this afternoon, I just came back from the palace before I came here, and I haven't had time to tell my family yet."
Xue Pan laughed and said: "Brother Cong, I really admire you. Although I know that it will be a matter of time for your wine to become a tribute wine, I didn't expect that you would be so quiet that you would get the tribute wine done." , it’s really amazing.
In this way, you won't have to worry about others thinking about you. With your current status, ordinary people don't need to care about you, just be on guard against those royal relatives. "
Jia Cong nodded and said: "What Brother Xue said is that I was also worried that these relatives of the emperor would come to the door in the name of the emperor, so I mentioned it to His Majesty. Your Majesty said that he would not be beaten. Come to me and ask for your name."
Aunt Xue said in surprise: "Brother Cong, have you seen the emperor?"
"Well, I've met him several times. The emperor is quite nice. It's a gift from his majesty that I can equalize the title. This time I sent a batch of wine to the palace. If you have good wine, you can't wait for the emperor to ask for it."
Xue Baochai smiled and said: "Brother Cong did a good job. This is a matter of consciousness. When the emperor asks for it, he will be inferior. In the emperor's heart, it will be very different, and the effect will be very different."
Jia Cong sighed: "Sister Bao is really smart and wise. What she said is so right. But such a good wife refuses to help me. Oh, I am really worried to death."
Seeing that Jia Cong was talking nonsense again, Xue Baochai tapped his forehead with her finger and said with a smile: "Fuck you, stop making trouble here, I won't accept your tricks."
Xue Pan was stunned for a moment. When had his sister ever spoken to someone like this? It was obviously a bit flirtatious. Could it be that his sister liked Brother Cong?
Brother Cong is a little interested in his sister, and he can see it, which is good. He starts flirting in front of him, without caring about himself at all.
"I'm talking about Brother Cong. My brother is still sitting here. You are just flirting with my sister. Do you have to take care of your brother?"
When Xue Baochai heard this, he glared at Xue Pan and said, "Brother, what are you talking about?"
Jia Cong chuckled and said, "Brother Xue said, come, let's drink and have a drink together."
The two raised their glasses and drank together. Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai also drank some with them.
Putting down the wine glass, Xue Pan said: "Brother Cong, how is the production of your wine? If the production is large, my brother can help you sell part of it."
This Xue Pan does have some brains. No matter where his Linhe tribute wine is shipped, it will definitely be very popular. It will not only make money, but also drive customer flow.
With the Xue family helping him sell wine, it would be a good idea to sell wine to other places.
"There is no problem with the production of wine, and there is no problem if Brother Xue wants to sell it. We will discuss a suitable price. Once it is set, Brother Xue can go to sell wine after the new year."
Hearing this, Xue Pan laughed and said, "Brother Cong is still happy. I'd like to give you a toast. I wish us brothers a happy cooperation."
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were also very happy when they heard that the two had settled the business.
Aunt Xue saw that her son could do serious things and make money. This was a great thing and should be happy.
Brother Cong is a really good kid. My son has gotten better with him after having more contact with him. He is really a blessing to his family.
Jia Cong was treated more attentively and the atmosphere became more harmonious.
Let Jia Cong truly understand what it means to feel at home.
During this period, the price of the wine was also negotiated, and a business deal was concluded.
It wasn't until Yuanyang led Chun Xia Qiu Dong to the door that he followed them back.
After returning home, he drank a bowl of hangover soup, Yuanyang and others gave him a hot bath, and then went directly to bed and lay down.
Yuanyang pushed Ping'er onto the bed and said with a smile: "Ping'er, the third master is yours tonight. Stop saying that we dominate the third master every day. During the Chinese New Year, the third master is yours."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Sister Ping'er, I miss you too after we haven't seen you for so long. Come up and let me hug you."
Yuanyang smiled and said: "Your man wants to hug you, hurry up."
Ping'er laughed and scolded: "Isn't that your man too? It's not like you've never been hugged before. You guys follow the Third Master every day, so why don't you hug me every day?"
Xiren covered his mouth and said with a smile: "The one I'm holding every day is Qingwen."
Qingwen said: "I was here to warm the third master's bed. Besides, it's not like you haven't been hugged before, haven't you Xiangling?"
Xiangling looked at Qingwen and then at everyone, and smiled: "Together, we don't spend as much time with Third Master as you do."
Ping'er has been with Jia Cong for the longest time, and they have already established their identity. It is natural for the two of them to sleep together, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
He took off his clothes and got into bed, turned sideways and stretched out his arms to pull Jia Cong into his arms.
Yuanyang helped the two of them tuck the quilt and led everyone to the outside, leaving some private space for the two of them.
Jia Cong lay in Ping'er's arms and asked, "Sister Ping'er, do you miss me?"
Ping'er put his face against Jia Cong's and said softly: "Well, I have really thought about it. Third Master, why don't you practice at home after the New Year and don't go to Zhuangzi anymore? That way we can be here every day Together."
Jia Cong leaned into Ping'er's arms and said: "Actually, I also want to be with you every day, but I'm still a little young now. Once I indulge, it will be difficult to control myself. I can't just hang around like this for the rest of my life. ?
Hey, just wait, it will be fine in a few years. When I grow up, I will be at home watching over you. "
Ping'er smiled and said, "Then Third Master, you have to grow up quickly."
