Poor family mother and son

Chapter 1086 Letter from Lord Yong'an ([-])
Although the rank of the right servant and the left servant are the same, but the left servant is the second in command, so if you want to be promoted to the position of Shangshu, you have to be promoted to the left servant first.

Li Jin is 48 this year, and his eyes are a little blurry. He has been working for more than ten years from doctor to right servant, and how many years will it take him to become left servant?

Furthermore, Minister of the Ministry of Industry has only just taken office, and he is in the prime of life, so he sees no hope.

Therefore, instead of fighting wits and courage with Boss Huang, it is better to "emerge up" in the Ministry of Industry at the beginning of taking office, and start a few businesses that are likely to make money.

Even if it is flat, there is more oil and water than the Ministry of Industry, right?

Now is the time.

As the right servant, Li Jin has come to attend the court meeting almost every time recently.

The three giants of the Ministry of Industry—Shang Shu and Left and Right Ministers are all new appointments now, and it is said that they all need time to familiarize themselves with the business.

Ke Shangshu was replaced by the former Zuo Shilang. He didn't need to re-acquaint himself with the business, and he directly devoted himself to projects such as river cleaning, canal repair and dam construction from the beginning of his tenure.

Because it is spring now, we must hurry up, otherwise we will catch up with the summer and autumn flood seasons, and we don't know how much flooding there will be.

It was the two servants who really needed to be familiar with the business, but in comparison, Li Jin was quite familiar with it, so when Huang Zhaoxian went to each department to understand the situation every day, Li Jin seized every possible opportunity to show his face for himself.

Huang Zhaoxian is also a fool, he belongs to the kind of person who hides from the boss when he sees the leader, he is promoted by exception, he is afraid of being looked down upon by the superior because of his lack of business, so he dare not participate in the court meeting at all.

Usually, when Shangshu is busy with official duties, he would ask his servant to participate in the court meeting. The first choice should be the left servant, but Huang Zhaoxian was worried, so Li Jin thought, "Is Mr. Huang too busy? Why don't I go to court for you?" Excuse, get a chance.

In this way, there was his enthusiastic speech in the court.

Li Jin reported: "Yong'an Mansion is in dire need and the population is insufficient. Yong'an Gongding is very busy. Even if we can make such good paper, we still can't scale it.
I asked the emperor for permission, I want to visit Yong'an Gong, communicate with her about papermaking and engraving methods, and discuss cooperation matters, because no matter the material or labor, it is more convenient for the Ministry of Industry after all;
Moreover, in terms of cost, even if Yong'an has the best method, if it cannot be mass-produced, the profit will not be too high, which is not worth it! "

Now the Ministry of Industry is avoiding the gunpowder development project, and no one has said it clearly. They are all busy with other businesses, and Li Jin is the same.

The Ministry of Industry has a lot of affairs, and it can be used as a servant. The most important thing to do is to assist the Minister to make overall arrangements for various projects, allocate resources, and coordinate with other departments, and assign all work to the subordinate departments.

But Li Jin wanted to go on a business trip, so he thought about it. This time, he should be able to get Chuqing's papermaking and engraving techniques.

Yong'an Mansion is only so big, and Daxuan is so big, you don't need to think about which side has more business, you don't need to think about how to choose?
At that time, as long as the craftsmanship is grasped and the production capacity of the Ministry of Industry is used, the price will be re-set, which will naturally be a large income-generating project.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Industry recommended Huang Zhaoxian to the position of Zuo Shilang, didn't he want him to take advantage of the close relationship between his father Huang Zhong and Chu Qing to dig out some good formulas from Chu Qing?Especially gunpowder.

This time, if the emperor would allow Li to enter the Yong'an Mansion, he would definitely find an opportunity to discuss the matter of gunpowder with Chu Qing. He, the right servant, must be better than the left servant!
But will the emperor agree?The emperor did not agree on the spot, but asked the Ministry of Industry to go back and figure out the craftsmanship of this pictorial first.

The emperor didn't want people to think that Chu Qing just showed off something, and he sent someone to inquire about it, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
The emperor has to save face.

In the afternoon of the next day, Chu Qing's letter arrived again, this time the letter was a little more normal, but also a little abnormal.

Normal is the paper specification, which is the same size as the usual letter paper, but the quality of the paper is better, it is slightly thinner than the picture paper, but it is also delicate and white.

What's abnormal is: Chu Qing used flower paper.

Why is it abnormal to use flower paper?Because Chu Qing never used it!
In the eyes of the emperor, Chu Qing was always a person with a dry narrative and a twisted personality, and he was always in black and white, saying what he said.

But recently, the style of letter writing has changed suddenly, and the emperor has adapted to it, but the sudden use of flower paper is a bit weird—is Chu Qing starting to become normal?Or is it more abnormal?

The point is, her flower paper is colorful!
Huajian has always been the favorite of literati and elegant ladies. This kind of paper is usually smaller than letter paper, suitable for writing poems, and the paper has patterns.

Some are covered with dark lines on the whole paper, while others are partially decorated with patterns.

The content of the pattern is usually flowers, birds, fish and insects, and the technique is mainly line drawing, with a single color, either pink, green or red, and only one color.

Moreover, these decorations will occupy a large area, and the words must be written on the decoration pictures. After a while, the whole paper will appear messy.

So it is clear that the paper is not normal!

The paper used by Chu Qing does not draw patterns in the middle of the paper, but only depicts willow branches and willow leaves on the four sides, just like the border of the paper.

There are also dots of pink and red wildflowers scattered in it, the colors contrast sharply, and it looks like a spring scene. The text is written in the frame pattern, which is clean and does not affect the reading experience at all, and even feels refreshed.

Colorful, multi-color flower paper!
The content of today's letter, the first item is to reveal the mystery left in the pictorial last time, what is in the box next to the stove.

At first glance, the characters are written in clear and clear fonts, which are familiar pen characters, neat and powerful, with strong strokes. The clear and clear pen characters are better than brush characters, and there are almost no faulty strokes.

The letter reads: "Guaizi Bay, surrounded by twists and turns, has a salty and suitable water environment. It is a natural harbor bestowed by God for oysters, and it will also be a harbor for Yongan Xinmin to survive in the future;
The oyster harvest is coming to an end, and a large number of oysters have not only turned into oyster sauce, but also into delicious golden dried oysters. Therefore, the answer to the last issue: golden oysters.

Delicacy can't just wait for God's gift. After the Qingming Festival, I will personally lead the people to breed oysters, add a delicacy to Daxuan's table, and add a livelihood to the people along the coast!
The minister sent some golden oysters, and asked the emperor to send someone to Qingwatai to collect them. There, golden oyster dishes will be made on the spot and presented to the emperor. "

The emperor couldn't help but laugh - still don't have to pay?Didn't you tell me that you gave it to me?

The second item, there is a beautiful color picture in the letterhead, on which are the pictures of dishes, the colors are bright, the layers are clear, and the transition of shades is natural.

The emperor turned it over and over, looked at the front and back, and was sure that it was printed, not hand-painted!

"This..." The emperor was shocked: "What kind of technique is this? What kind of craftsmanship? How to print such a beautiful picture!"
