Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter [-] Liquidation

The two-month-long wrangling between the Ministry of Agriculture, Science and Industry on scientific research funds finally came to an end. As an unplanned expenditure, the Ministry of Industry agreed to advance all expenses consumed by the species collectors within its capacity.However, please pay attention to this 'but'. The imperial court intends to get the full support of agronomy for the cotton trial project that will be carried out in the third place of the right side, the second place in Guannei, and the first place in Liaodong in the spring of next year. The two responsible persons must be consistent with the position of the Ministry of Industry.

Uncle Cao has tasted the sweetness of the gunpowder research and development project in one hand. Although the firearms are far from reaching the level of the army, the several actual combat applications on the front line have won unanimous praise from the military leaders. The impressive data and powerful The deterrent force robbed the Ministry of Industry of a large amount of research and development expenses and the administrative privileges approved by the emperor, and added a bit of brilliance to Cao Shangshu's already sunny career path.

Cotton appeared out of thin air. As the first batch of volunteers, Cao Shangshu has personal experience. Like firearms, if this opportunity is seized, political capital will be stronger. Those who are capable will never let go of the opportunity to display their talents. Uncle Cao Belong to this category of people.

"Old fox." Lan Ling flicked her wrist. The style of her carefully designed glove was a little flawed. It stretched to the length of the elbow, full of determination; the exquisite carved decoration made it even more beautiful. She is worth seeing, but she is not Ying, and her slenderness certainly conforms to the aesthetic concept... "Strangled to death! The cobbler's craftsmanship is too poor!"

"No matter how bad the cobbler's craftsmanship is, he wouldn't dare to ruin the style you gave him, would he?" Moving her arm over, the two of them worked together to pull her epoch-making design off her body with great effort.Wiping off his sweat, "I really admire you. I don't know how you put it on. Aren't you afraid that you will cripple yourself?"

Lan Ling was ashamed by what I said, and angrily turned the gloves aside, and checked his already whitish wrist. "Damn it, you just love to play with these harmful things."

"It's okay to train yourself to be such a muscular girl, it's none of my business." Pulled her wrist to help massage it a few times, the blood returned, and she saw a little rosy, "Forget about strangling the neck, save effort." Lan Ling The proportion of the body is absolutely well-proportioned, and there is no fat on the whole body.The physical fitness in the 21st century belongs to the national special class, but the body is taller, so the parts on the body are slightly larger than ordinary women, and the slender women like Heying are two sizes larger than that. Gloves cost leather, food costs food, and everything is wasted. It is not easy to feed."

"That's right, I support myself, so I didn't cause you any trouble, sir?" Lan Ling gave me a bad look, and took a small soft ruler to measure the painting on his arm. This time, pay attention to loosening one finger on the circumference size. "You're getting older if you talk. Are you going to Nanshan during your annual vacation?"

"It's a mess, I don't know if I can go." As soon as the quilt was sent out, it received unanimous praise from authorities from all walks of life, which was even more enthusiastic than I imagined.All the families I have selected, except the Zheng family are gifted by friendship.All hands and feet are connected to the rich and powerful compound.Especially Mrs. Qin Yu and cousin Cheng Chu, after taking a few quilts and cotton waistcoats personally presented by Ying, they kept inviting Ying and the second daughter back and forth.Women’s words are not as taboo as men’s outside, and they also have the relationship between me and Qin Yu and Cheng Chu as brothers and sisters, playing the sign of a family. It’s not good to refuse.Ying Ying didn't know how to speak to me. "Cotton is a big profit, but it's just eye-catching. The Cui family wants to cooperate, and the Qin family also has this idea. The Cheng family is quiet now, because Mr. Cheng is not here, but with Mrs. Cheng Chu's aggressiveness, I think Cheng Chu is embarrassed to say this to me personally."

"Push towards the Ministry of Industry. Stupid." Lan Ling drew a picture, looking left and right dissatisfied.I found another charcoal pencil and pressed my hand, "Cao Shangshu is a slippery person. Although he has gained a lot of benefits from firearms, he has offended many people invisibly. Just being favored in the court now makes people jealous. He is a slick man on cotton." I want to get all of them, but I also understand that nothing can be all good. Do you think that no one in the Ministry of Industry can handle the cotton planting properly, so you have to pull important people and no one, and you can learn agronomy without money? It’s not about giving credit and pulling allies. The agricultural school has a royal background, and the supervisor is an old thorn in the court. The emperor does not easily provoke you; It is the panacea of ​​the young generation in the capital, and the messy backstage behind it makes others unable to understand. The cooperation between the Ministry of Industry and Agriculture, the royal family, Cao Shangshu, Liu Rengui, and you all stand on the same position invisibly, people who are jealous How much depends on the appearance, no one is willing to offend all the forces in Beijing at once." He raised his head and smiled at me, "I have to say that my husband is a character. You can say a few words, it’s rare for a person to be like you, and someone who is slick and has no tail will make people pull.”

"One doesn't fight for power, and the other doesn't fight for money. Who cares to drag me? Be careful, and be careful that your arm is abducted." Lan Ling's tailor-made posture made me worry, and I can't show off so much if I am flexible. "Old man Cao is right. Yes, he holds an important position, and he has some shady places in his hands. The first one to pull is Liu Rengui. It is just an excuse to rely on the background of the royal family for agriculture. Having said that, you are in charge of the keys of the inner palace. If you run an agricultural school, you will die, and you will be reduced to the situation where the Minister of Industry and Commerce uses it as a cover, which is embarrassing. What about the money? If you don’t have money, you can do scientific research. Why don’t you just pay some severance pay and go home, so as not to harm me. Cold hands and feet."

"Next year, next year will be fine, don't blame the concubine. Who knows that the cost of running an agricultural school is higher than that of the Imperial College, and it will take ten or eight years to fill a well just to sort out any rags. The manpower has just been spread out, and next year, the income from Tubo alone will be scary, and Chao Dashi will start to make money. I wanted to pull it farther, but I didn't expect that the inner government would be beyond its reach. "Lanling changed his tone, looking like a poor little daughter-in-law who borrowed usury and couldn't repay it, "I heard from a caravan leader at the bottom that it would be easier to go there by sea boat, but the cost is high, how much does a merchant ship cost? escorted by a warship, thinking about this matter."

"You have to think about it carefully. It's not a joke to sink two ships after sailing three ships. At that time, you will pay for the dead." I am very new to sailing. There are no feasible suggestions.

"That's not it." Lan Ling's identity was left aside, it was the atmosphere. "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could run boats to earn money at that time. What age are we, are we still afraid of this? If you take [-] steps back, you can still make money by sailing three ships and sinking two ships. The goods that Datang can transport there every year are limited after all, and there is only one ship left. Still earning three boats of money, I want to pay back. It’s not that easy. Just like famous calligraphy, there are only so many handed down. If you take three authentic works of Wang Youjun, burn two and sell one, it’s more profitable than selling three at a time. many."

Lan Ling is a model of how profiteers are trained.Just before, just two years ago, Lan Ling would never have uttered such heartless words.Back then, when I got Wang Xizhi’s stele rubbings for me to practice calligraphy, I felt blasphemous if I neglected it for a moment; now I always use the analogy of burning two of three paintings, just like Wang Xizhi and a street performer who makes a living by selling calligraphy and painting.As for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sailing boats for a living, he had heard about the Golden Empire, but I don't know how the Han Dynasty sailed in the ocean.But it sounds more tempting.After counting the two money at home, I really can't afford such a big expense, but if I don't invest in the new industry, I will lose money, so I said with a stern face: "Why don't you come in with a share of Wang's ginseng?"

"I've never seen you like this," Lan Ling slapped me and said with a smile, "Your family has some money, be careful to lose it all and come to me for a ring."

"Three or five thousand guan can still be taken out, any more will be gone." After doing some calculations, I felt that I had said a bit too much, "It's only three thousand guan, or two thousand and five?"

"When the time comes to ask you for money, don't be a rogue. It's only planning now." He said and pulled me over, "Help me draw it, the outside of the arm is always drawn out of shape."

As soon as I got home, I first asked Ying about the family background. I had a good idea about the investment project of the Maritime Silk Road. Fortunately, Ying told me confidently: "Even if I buy all the land for the Yun family in one go, it will be enough for the future." With an investment of [-] guan, next year the Yun Family Village will start to make a big splash, plan it first and then build it. Don’t make it the same as patching up our Zhuangzi.”

"Oh? Make it clear. I'm soaring through the clouds." Why did you suddenly start the plan of the Yun Family Zhuangzi?The Wang family just couldn't fit in too much money, and they had never been so domineering.

"Hehe..." Ying laughed triumphantly.The small-eyed smile disappeared, "The fourth child is hesitant to sign the contract to buy eggs with the Yun family. According to the current market, our own Zhuangzi and Princess Lanling's Zhuangzi produced more than 1 yuan last month. After the heat, there will be more, and the nearby Zhuangzi will send land to the house, which can guarantee [-] eggs per month for the vegetarian egg workshop. The fourth child wants to stabilize the market first and not increase production in a hurry. It seems to be dispensable, either to lower the price, or to hatch all the chicks, and earn a few in the first place, but the eggs and chicks in the back are worthless, and her family's financial resources are cut off."

"Oh," nodded, "The fourth brother will help you play tricks, what are the conditions?" My sister-in-law, who is not an early riser, has surpassed her elder brother in the Chen family since she got the backer of the inner mansion. Non-staff have become tough roles.

"Don't beat her in the future." Ying smiled and brought me hot tea, "The girl has grown up, and she doesn't want to be disciplined when she was a child. Now no one in the Chen family dares to speak of her, and she has become a bully."

"That's right, you don't have a sense of propriety. If no one has time to smoke twice, maybe the fourth child won't take it to heart. If you say you do it in front of me in front of the second daughter, you will do it. No one is willing to do it." I think the fourth child The business lost money. According to Ying's temper, if she is not disciplined, there is no reason to treat her lightly. She may be stronger in the first two months, but she should fight as usual in the future.

"She is my sister, what conditions can we negotiate with our family? The Chen family is not supported by our Wang family today. In the past, many places that were difficult to get through could be passed by using our family's signboard. This year's disaster relief will become famous. In terms of connections in the inner mansion, after all, it’s not her husband’s help.” Ying has a habit of taking credit for her work, first denying the efforts of others, whether it’s her own contribution or not, sticking to her face before talking about it. "Several thousand is a big number. I don't know if the business on the water is reliable. Why don't we let the fourth brother take half of the shares from our family first, and even if they lose it, we will pay less than half."

"You." She squeezed Ying's chin with a smile, "If you pay, you will lose. It's not about taking your wealth and life as capital, just earning less money. Next year, the court intends to start promoting cotton. Go to the upper right three places, inside the pass. Our family still occupies a share of the two places, but the area has increased. Now our family’s land in Fenghe Shangguang is not enough, and the large area going to the dry plain has to be requisitioned, about [-] mu. The place has been doubled more than ten times, and it is all under our family management..."

"The land is also our land?" Ying's eyes widened.It looks twice as usual, and the eyeballs are about to drop to the ground.

"It's nonsense. Who should return it to whom, and land acquisition is not land acquisition!" Ying's obsession with land has become hopeless, "The imperial court still funds the grain, and the cotton is under the unified supervision of the Ministry of Industry, and our family is unified. Acquisition.” At present, the imperial court has not yet issued a corresponding policy, and the increase in the trial planting area is purely for the purpose of accumulating more planting experience and cultivating talents in this field before promotion, especially the addition of three planting units in one breath.It is to test the drought resistance and cold resistance of cotton. The intention is obvious. With the purpose of not encroaching on the grain fields, we will conduct expanded experiments in the east and west.

"Then we can't delay, the workshop has to be built quickly," Ying radiated golden light, like a bodhisattva manifesting, "I have to Le Yun's neck in the middle of the year. Beat her to pay back the money and food, and clean her up when she is green. Let's follow her The debts received by the creditors of the family are enough to toss for a while."

Ying was determined not to be soft on things, first she greeted the Yun family with a smile, and complained that the court had gradually reduced the nobles' subsidies in the past two years, and after the prohibition of alcohol, it announced that it would increase the collection of official rations next year.What about the Wang family?In addition to being charitable and charitable, I have to support me, a well-known prodigal son. I don’t talk about drinking and drinking outside, and helping others is not serious or serious. Just how much money I donated for the earthquake and disaster.It turned the huge Wang family into an empty shell in one fell swoop. Fei said so much and said so clearly that even his husband moved out to arrange the arrangement. The meaning is: if you can turn around, you should first pay off the debts for the Wang family. After all, everyone has to live. no?

Of course, the Yun family can't just watch them being unable to live for years just to help them. Although they know that even if the Wang family doesn't want the money, it won't affect the quality of life, but the Yun family has already had their faces forced by others after the fire. This time, we must never be ashamed because of this again, especially since the Wang family is still the Yun family's savior in everyone's mind.But the debt problem has not been solved.Chen Laosi threw the words to his head. The vegetarian egg workshop is in a downturn and cannot afford such a large output of the Yun family. After the contract is terminated this year, he does not intend to renew the contract with the Yun family on the issue of egg purchase.

"Don't tell me to pay attention, you've already tightened your neck, it's up to me to find someone who wants to be a lobbyist?" Ying watched the Yun family's frivolity with cold eyes these days, pinching the time.I feel the heat is here.Let me find someone who can talk to me and propose a land-for-peace plan: If the Yun family agrees to sell part of the land, the Wang family can consider suspending the debt and work hard to promote the continued business cooperation between the Chen family and the Yun family. "Let me see. You can go to the money steward and say hello."

"That won't work. Our family will lose face if they come forward. There is no room for change in the future, and it will not be a good reputation if it is spread out."

"Everyone has been killed, and they are still shameless. Well, I'll look for it, but women are troublesome." It's really hard to find someone who can talk and not be from the Wang family.The gang I know are not very good lobbyists, they are good at smashing and grabbing, and they all do it first and then talk. "It's not easy. It's better to find a woman to handle the affairs of your woman's house. Look at my group of friends. Their ancestors were either thieves or mobs. It's not suitable."

"Let's put it away first, I'll take a look." Ying also felt that it was wrong, but it was very enjoyable to toss about the Yun family, shaking a handkerchief, sitting on the kang, kicking, babbling and singing a ditty tune was very nice.

Two days later, the family's New Year's goods were all ready, and at [-] o'clock in the evening, Ying and the second female businessman agreed to find a small owner in Houcun who had previously been favored by the Wang family to deliver the message, but Yun girl came to the house to pay New Year's greetings in person.

"Husband, sit down, you are soft-hearted, don't let that girl take advantage of the loophole again." He said and took the second daughter to meet the guests.

Originally, he wanted to listen secretly, but he couldn't let go of the airs of a big man, so he took Wangcai to the garden to hunt.The general procedure is that I throw a wooden stick far away, and Wangcai happily chases after it to pick it up. During this period, people and dogs pull the stick and tear it for a while, and then I throw it out... until it was dark and I couldn't see the direction clearly. Wangcai's tongue Only after vomiting the old man did he give up.I don't know what the group of women in front are doing, but after returning home, the maids in the house have already prepared meals for me alone, while Ying and the second daughter left Miss Yun's family to eat in the vestibule, the maids reported, and both the host and the guest chatted in a friendly manner. The New Year ceremony was exchanged in the atmosphere, during which there were no unrest factors such as crying, fighting, and forcing each other to death.

I have a good impression of Yun Yatou, a self-improvement woman, scheming and courageous, from imitating Wang's chicken raising to adapting to market demand in the chicken business, a very smart little girl.After nearly two years of hard work, she has gained a little wealth. Ying has calculated the repayment ability of the Yun family. If she wants to have it in her hands, it is just a little bit short. Once the Chen family's contract is lost next year, the Yun family will have to return to the ranks of poor landlords, and the vitality and hopes accumulated in the past two years will be wiped out.Ying pinpointed this point so that girl Yun struggled between dawn and darkness, knowing that her fate was in the hands of the Wang family, and she had to satisfy the Wang family's requirements if she wanted to stand up.

It seems that the two parties had a hard time negotiating. They both lay on the kang and stared for a while. After going to the toilet, the two women have not come back yet. It is better to go to the front to have a look.As soon as I left the corridor of the back house, Ying and the second daughter came over proudly. Under the big lantern, the two smiling faces were rosy, and they seemed to have had two drinks. Did you succeed?
