The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 298 The Workers' Pickets Are Silent

The next day it was the twelfth day of the first lunar month.

Because he was going to be on duty in the Yamen, Jiao Shuntian had to get up and do morning exercises before dawn.

Yu Chuan waited listlessly for him to get dressed neatly, and then watched him go out, and then began to clean up the mess on the bed and on his body.

First rolled up the replaced underwear with a bed sheet, then carefully took off the stockings, and threw them all into the cypress basin. Wouldn't it be like spoiling herself if Mrs. Wang's personal things were to do such dirty things?
Therefore, instead of being destroyed, it was used as a 'battle robe', which can relieve hatred and add to the fun.

Just by looking at the traces on it, one knows that yesterday must have been a great time.

But Yu Chuan couldn't be happy at all. At the beginning, she was a virgin and always thought that a man and a woman could conceive a child as long as they slept together. Later, she couldn't conceive for a long time. On the contrary, Aunt Xing became pregnant not long after she started. Gradually, doubts arose.

After some side-by-side inquiries, she finally figured out recently that when the uncle and the maids were together, they all took contraceptive measures, so if they wanted to rely on their heirs to directly ascend to the throne, there was no hope in a short time.

At present, it seems that the most likely shortcut is the bait that Jiao Shun promised—that is, to make a breakthrough with Lin Daiyu.

But the problem is that since Xing Xiuyan became pregnant, she dared not go out casually anymore. Even if Yu Chuan tried her best to sell her uncle in front of Miss Lin's master and servant, she had to have this opportunity first.

There is no hope of progress for the time being, but yesterday I heard that Mrs. Wang promoted some kind of Xiaohong from Jia Baoyu's house to replace Jin Chuan's position, which made Yu Chuan feel even more unhappy.

After tidying up the mess sullenly, she stayed in the bedroom for a while, guessing that Jiao Shun was about to finish his morning exercise, and then Shi Shiran went to the living room.

In the end, Xiangling was leaning on a mop, frowning with a small face, as if she had something big on her mind.

Yu Chuan couldn't help wondering, this Xiang Ling has always been heartless, but why did he become worried for no reason?

Is it also because...

Just as she thought that Xiangling had finally opened her eyes, she heard this idiot girl muttering: "The article is a matter of ages, and the gains and losses are well known. The authors are all special. The reputation is not so good. The poets are rare, and the Han Dynasty is flourishing here."

"What do you mean?"

Yu Chuan was confused and asked, "What are you muttering here?"

Xiangling sighed and shook her head in silence.

Yu Chuan became more and more curious, pressed her repeatedly, and threatened to tickle her, Xiang Ling finally said truthfully: "I see that Miss Lin and Second Master Bao are becoming more and more distant, I'm afraid that in the future..."

"What will happen in the future?"

Yu Chuan didn't wait for her to finish, and sneered: "Are you still looking forward to their reunion? Okay, okay, thanks to the fact that the uncle loves you so much, it turns out that you are a picky one!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Even Xiangling, a naive girl, knew that this matter must not be admitted, and hurriedly explained: "I mean, the two of them are getting estranged day by day, isn't it going to be a mess to start a poetry club after the festival?"

Yu Chuan rolled her eyes when she heard that, so many serious things - such as how to lift my aunt - this silly girl doesn't worry about it, but just thinks about Laoshizi's poetry club, what's so good about those sour poems that don't eat and don't eat? ?
"They are them, and the poetry club is the poetry club."

Yu Chuan was about to sneer, when Jiao Shun walked in through the door curtain, and continued: "Your aunt is pregnant now, it's time to find some entertainment - not to mention her beautiful belly, she should also show it to the outside world. "

Immediately, Xiangling's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked: "What does the master mean, is this poetry club still going to be established?"

"Of course it will be done, and it will be prosperous. After the festival, 500 taels of silver will be paid from home, and Miss Lin and Miss Smith will be invited to take the lead in starting the club. It must be bustling and lively!"

Xiangling was naturally overjoyed, Yu Chuan didn't take it seriously at first, but later became happy-she was not interested in the poetry club, but since the poetry club was going to be held, she would naturally have the opportunity to meet Lin Daiyu's master and servant.

After breakfast, everyone was happy, and went to the main room to meet Laiwang, and the father and son drove to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry together.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, the yamen should actually start working officially from the fifth day of the lunar new year, but there are policies and countermeasures. In addition to the official annual leave, there is also a "seal" in the official yamen.

Since the Song Dynasty, every year from the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month, the official seals in the yamen will be sealed, and will not be unsealed until the twentieth of the first lunar month of the following year-the sealing of the troupe is learned from here.

Although there were officials taking turns to be on duty during this period, unless it was a major event of Tongtian, they would all be postponed.

I heard that during the Taizu Dynasty, similar bad habits and stubborn diseases were originally abandoned, but after the death of Xia Taizu, these old systems of the previous dynasty were picked up by nobles and civil officials.

Of course, for Jiao Shun today, more holidays in the yamen are definitely better than less holidays. Unless he rebelled and became emperor in the future, he would definitely not have any opinions on these systems, and he would even raise his hands to support them.

Less gossip.

But he said that when he was in the Yamen, Jiao Shun first went through the backlog of government affairs, so that he could sort out the order of difficulty in dealing with them in the future.

Not to mention trivial matters, there are two things that have attracted Jiao Shun's attention. One is that the emperor overstepped the cabinet's instructions and asked the Ministry of Industry to try to promote that kind of banxi to the people as soon as possible.

This coincides with Jiao Shun's follow-up plan.

But the problem is that the emperor's personal supervision during the New Year's Eve seems to be a bit of a trivial matter. I'm afraid it's too much, and it will attract the vigilance and counterattack of the civil official group.

tsk~
Although the emperor had some knowledge and knew that industrial innovation was the general trend, but he was always so hasty, but he was afraid that it might not be a good thing.

Just drag it off as much as possible.

The second thing is that the various state-owned factories near the capital, in accordance with the instructions of years ago, submitted to the Ministry a draft for the establishment of a craftsman picket team.

According to the size of the factory and whether there is a need for secrecy, the picket team can have as many as a hundred people, and as few as seven or eight people. All of them are added up in one place, and the scale is almost [-] to [-].

Considering that after the actual approval, each factory must find ways to fill in some related households, and the final quota should be around 2000 people.

Although these 2000 people are not completely off-duty, the acceptable military training is not much worse than that of the formal army-especially in those few military factories, it is easier to raise equipment than the army.

If you can hold it in your hands, it can be regarded as a military force no matter how big or small.

Although the size of these 2000 people is not worth mentioning compared to the 2000 people in the three battalions and one guard, the workers are high-quality soldiers. It is not impossible for these [-] people to raise their arms at critical moments and pull tens of thousands of mobs together. .

Jiao Shun initially proposed the military representative system, but he wanted to cause some trouble for the Ordnance Department, so that they would not bite him.

Later, when he proposed to form a picket team, he wanted to ease the burden on the Ministry of Industry.

But now holding these draft regulations, he suddenly had some strange thoughts, and even made up the picture of the king's flag changing at the top of the city.

But this is just thinking about it. Now it's not a chaotic world. The world has been peaceful for a long time, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. What's more, the imperial court has just shown its power outside the territory, which is the time when national pride is the strongest.

He, Jiao, really wanted to go against the sky, not to mention mobilizing tens of thousands of rebels with a single call, the pickets would tie him up and hand him over to the imperial court as soon as his ambition was revealed.

but……

Even though he knew it was useless, Jiao Shun couldn't help but grow greedy to hold this new force in his hands.

Of course, it must not be done in a blatant manner, it is best to sneak into the night with the wind and moisten things silently.

After much deliberation, he decided to put aside the matter of building a workers' picket team.

The reason is ready-made: whether they are civil servants or craftsmen, they are all laymen in this field, or it is not too late to preside over the preparation of the picket team after the military representative arrives and is familiar with the basic situation of all aspects of the factory.

After the military representatives moved in, the primary task was not to build a picket team, but to pay close attention to product quality.

It is not difficult to delay this for three to five months.

At that time, the first batch of work-study students will have graduated. These people have also received half a year of military training in Mengxue, and they are their own people to the factory. Let them participate in the preparation of the picket team as assistants of the military representatives. Isn't it a matter of course?

After all, this picket team was supposed to accept dual leadership.

And Jiao Shun has always regarded these work-study students as his future team members, and if he works hard in the past six months, it will not be difficult to use them to control part of the real power of the picket team.

Thinking that he will be able to master a military force in the near future, Jiao Shun Wuxing feels that he has gained some confidence, or courage.

At the same time, he secretly regretted not being able to be reborn in the troubled and apocalyptic times. Otherwise, with this group of workers, peasants and soldiers, he might not be able to become an emperor—hey, he might be able to become a chairman.

…………

But that evening, when Jiao Shun returned home, he accepted the invitation from Xue's family. In addition to inviting him to have a banquet at the mansion tomorrow, he also invited Mrs. Xu to go with him.

This is normal, after all, Mrs. Xu was born as Aunt Xue's maidservant. The two of them have been like sisters since they were young. Now that their identities have changed, their relationship has always been good, and they often get together to gossip.

Jiao Shunming knew it was impossible, but he still had expectations when he went.

It's a pity that only Aunt Xue was with me during the dinner—Xue Pan fell ill after all—and never mentioned Baochai from the beginning to the end.

Although she didn't intend to promise her daughter to Jiao Shun, Aunt Xue was still very affectionate to Jiao Shun, thanking him not only for her gratitude, but also frequently serving him food and drinks during the banquet, such as duck feet, roasted deer tails, fried chicken tongues Yes, they piled high on the dinner plate.

After all, Jiao Shun's drinking capacity is not comparable to that of a woman, he is only three points drunk, and Aunt Xue and Xu can't hold it anymore.

Jiao Shun originally wanted to help his mother go back to rest, but Aunt Xue forced her to keep her as a guest. She only said that it would not be too late to go back after Xu woke up at night - if she couldn't wake up, it would be fine to keep her overnight.

By the way, Jiao had no choice but to say goodbye and leave alone.

Wearing a big cloak and carrying a big cloak - the one I lent to Xue Pan - I was walking forward in the spirit of wine, when I felt that someone was following behind me.

Looking back, there was no one there.

In this deep house, no one would dare to hit him with the sap of Uncle Jiao, right?

Jiao Shun secretly heightened his vigilance, and quietly tied the bundle wrapped in the cloak to his forearm, planning to use it as a shield if the enemy showed his weapon.

At the same time, he also changed the direction of travel, no longer walking along the inner wall to go home, but to the densely populated place—since he was following and plotting, he would not dare to do it in public.

"You stop!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, there was a sudden cry from behind.

When I looked back, I saw a familiar figure flashing by the roadside. She was tall and tall, her hair was pulled up in a simple ascetic style, her facial features were calm and calm, but her eyes seemed to be bursting into flames. like.

Jiao Shun couldn't help being surprised and said, "Grandma... Li? Why are you?"

The person who came was Li Wan. She folded her hands in front of her lower abdomen, took a few steps forward with her long legs brushing the willows with the wind, her eyes were fixed on Jiao Shun's face from a distance of Zhang Xu, as if she wished she could It was like eating him alive.

tsk~
How did she come to the door?
Could it be that he has been guarding his son lately, regretting what happened at the beginning more and more, so he came here to find old debts?
No wonder Jiao Shun thought so.

It is said that it is a one-day couple and a hundred days of kindness, but Jiao Shun has been married to her seven or eight times, but there is hardly any verbal communication, and she always has a cold and pretty face afterward. Enmity is enmity.

And considering how bloody she scolded her at the beginning, I naturally feel that hatred should be greater than love.

Because he mistook Li Wan for settling accounts after the autumn, Jiao Shun couldn't help but secretly complained, not because he was afraid that Li Wan would really hurt her, but because he was afraid that his adultery would be exposed if he broke his face and made a scene.

Before Li Wan could speak, he hurriedly laughed and said: "This is not a place to talk, if Grandma has anything to say, let's..."

As she said that, she raised her finger to a side door on the inner wall: "How about we go to the garden to talk? I'll go first, and Grandma will follow."

Without waiting for Li Wan to open his mouth, he hurriedly passed through the side door.

After entering the door, Jiao Shun breathed a sigh of relief. The door was in a remote place, not far from the Lixiangyuan where the little actors lived, but the little actors were rehearsing in the main hall recently, so there was no need to worry about being knocked over.

Just thinking of this, I suddenly felt a gust of fragrant wind blowing behind me.

Jiao Shun was taken aback, and hurriedly dodged to dodge, only to find that although Li Wan bumped into him head-on, he didn't use any murder weapon, but stretched out his hand to grab his sleeve.

"Grandma, you are..."

Jiao Shun was about to ask what happened, but Li Wan desperately dragged him to the rockery not far away.

Jiao Shun didn't notice for a moment, he staggered two steps before gaining a firm foothold, and asked suspiciously: "What are you going to do, should you tell me?"

Li Wan remained silent, clenched his silver teeth and continued to tug.

Jiao Shun hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards the rockery with her strength, and then went around to the cave behind.

And then……

It all goes without saying.
