The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

The next day Li Zhao went to the palace to meet the emperor's grandfather, and he didn't know what happened. He stayed there for a whole day and didn't come back until dark when the palace gate was about to be locked.

The next day also entered the palace early in the morning, and did not come back until the palace gate was about to be locked.

It was like this again on the third day, but when I came back, I didn’t say anything.

If he didn't tell, Song Qingyue wouldn't ask.

Song Qingyue thinks that her vision is slightly wider than that of people of this era, but she doesn't know much about the society of this era, the entire court and bureaucratic system, and she has no enthusiasm for participating in politics.Of course, if Li Zhao asked for her opinion, she would just say something of her own, and if he didn't ask, she didn't have to go along and come up with random ideas.

In the first three days after Song Qingyue came back, she did nothing except arrange a place for Li Qiushui, and just slept in Li Zhao's Baoguang Palace. After raising his head, let alone sitting in a bumpy carriage for more than half a month in this life, his waist is sore and his back hurts, and he is listless.

In the first three days after returning to the palace, I didn't want to do anything or take care of anything, I just wanted to sleep.

This is actually not in compliance with the rules. The prince's bedroom belongs to the prince, and the concubine of the prince has his own courtyard.In case the crown prince wanted to sleep with other women, he would call them to the Baoguang Palace. What if the crown prince slept there all the time?
But Song Qingyue fell asleep, and as long as Li Zhao was willing, no one in the palace would dare to take care of her.

Xiao Ning wanted to take the opportunity to reprimand Song Qingyue, but it was a pity that Song Qingyue didn't give her the chance.

She is not in good health, and she will take care of her health when she goes home. If she doesn't go to say hello to her in the morning, no one will see her.At most, Xiao Ning called Nanny Bai or the big girls like Mo Fan and Mo Ping to scold them, and told them to stand up for a while, even if they were punished, they would only dare to kneel for a quarter of an hour, not more. up.

In fact, Xiao Ning was a little afraid of Song Qingyue in her heart. This little fairy surnamed Song had been married for less than a year, and she was so fascinated by the cold-hearted father and son Li Da and Li Zhao.

This is no ordinary person!

At most, she just wanted to show off in front of Song Qingyue and put on airs like a mother-in-law, but she didn't dare to really piss off Song Qingyue.

Who knew that Song Qingyue wouldn't even give her a chance to reprimand her.

These three days made Yunying very anxious. She wanted to go to Baoguang Hall to find Li Zhao several times, but was held back by the two nuns beside her.

"Side concubine, please wait patiently, how can a dignified woman take such initiative."

"But, he won't come if I don't take the initiative!" Yunying said anxiously, "At the reception banquet, he carried that imperial concubine away and left me sitting there alone. It's sad enough. I'll tell him about my Sorry!"

The two nuns were afraid that this person would make His Royal Highness unhappy, and they would be punished again, so they patiently persuaded: "How about the side concubine practice the song that I want to play for His Royal Highness? Wait for him to come." , I will be very pleasantly surprised to hear that your piano skills are so good. You haven't practiced yet."

Yunying pouted.

At the beginning, His Royal Highness King Su invited her four female teachers of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she could barely learn piano, but calligraphy, painting, and chess were too difficult for her to learn at all.

Originally, the zither was also difficult, so King Su asked her to try the zither. Sure enough, the zither was much easier than the qin, but it was not easy to play a decent piece!
If His Royal Highness Su Wang hadn't promised her that as long as she learned a piece of music, she would give her a piece of jewelry, she wouldn't be bothered to practice!

His Royal Highness Su Wang, who was dodging in Jiutengzhai, wiped a bitter tear, coaxing a woman for his son is not easy!
This was inspired by Song Qingyue, a group of women who have nothing to do all day come out to make trouble, so find something for them to do.

Tell them to study, take a monthly exam, get a reward if they pass the exam, and deduct their monthly salary if they don't pass the exam, how did he never think of such a genius idea before?

Now not only the six concubines in Li Zhao's backyard study every day and take monthly exams, but also the beauties, Dianyi, concubines, and Tongfang who are below Liangyuan in the middle and west roads of King Su's backyard also attend classes every day and take monthly exams.

King Su even invited Mo Zhu Moran and the others to come and teach the women in his backyard.

One winter passed, and the second-class maids Mo Zhu and Mo Ran earned a lot of extra money from King Su.

Song Qingyue slept in Baoguang Palace for three days, and finally returned to her own courtyard to be a director.

When I heard that Mo Zhu and the others were going to the middle and west roads to give lessons to His Highness's women, she was quite happy and asked, "Did the lord give you any money?"

Mo Zhu nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes! It's 20 taels a month!" She stretched out two fingers and waved them excitedly.

"There are also various bribes, asking us to disclose the test questions in advance." Mo Ran giggled.

Song Qingyue raised her eyes and asked, "Have you taken it?"

Mo Ran said: "The ones who are being favored will accept it. Don't dare not accept it. Don't accept offenders! But we have already told Eunuch Wang, and Eunuch said that if someone gives it to us, we will accept it. It doesn't matter. .”

Song Qingyue laughed, nodded, and expressed her agreement. At the same time, she probably guessed His Royal Highness Su's intention. It was nothing more than to find something for everyone to do, so as not to cause trouble. As for what he learned, he didn't care.She asked again: "Are there any bribes here?"

Mo Zhu nodded: "Yes! The servant has written down all the names." She took out a small palm-sized notebook from her bosom and handed it to Song Qingyue to read.

Song Qingyue braced her head and thought about it. In fact, bribery is too common these days. Some jobs are not suitable for people who are too upright. But, it would be very bad if this kind of atmosphere is allowed to grow in the mansion.

"For those who give bribes, we will have a separate class for them and have separate classes. In the future, this group of people will not be allowed to enter the accounting room. I haven't figured out what to do with them. Let's talk about it later."

Song Qingyue thought that it might be good to ask them to do sales, they would be good at dealing with people, and they would be able to dig around.

As for the children with good grades and moral conduct, she would like them to help with the banking business in the future. If only she could go to Florence and find some Medici to come and help out?
Because Song Qingyue's grandfather in her previous life was an oil painter, she had heard a lot about the renaissance era.The Renaissance began in the Italian peninsula, initially because of the demand for art decoration in a large number of churches, and later, art gradually became an investment.When it comes to famous art investors on the Italian peninsula, one must mention the Medici family that ruled Florence.

Masaccio, Botticelli, Leonardo Da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Titian and other well-known painters have all received funding from this family.

Of course, apart from being an art investor, this family is actually in the banking industry, which is more than 400 years earlier than the famous Rishengchang bank in Shanxi with a plaque of "Huitong Tianxia".Of course, as early as the Tang Dynasty, China had the remittance certificate business of counter shops.

Song Qingyue has always been curious about how to run a bank in an era without computers?Everything is calculated by hand, and the archives are all based on paper. How many accountants are needed and how much effort is required!
How to design a system to prevent bank employees from stealing?

Isn't a lot of money stolen from the warehouse of the Ministry of Accounts every year?

She wanted to go to Shanxi to learn from people from Shanxi Merchants Yinzhuang, or go directly to recruit people at high prices, but in this era, the scale of Shanxi's merchant gangs is not large. If Song Qingyue remembers correctly, they are It took more than 300 years to reach the scale of connecting the world.

Banking is not easy, why not go to Jiangxi to look for tungsten mines first?
In addition to being used as a filament, tungsten has many other uses. Adding some tungsten to the steel can greatly increase the hardness of the steel.

Forget it, it's too difficult to extract metals... Or, start with fertilizer?
There is a potash mine in Qinghai, why don't you write a letter and send someone to look for it?
Nitrogen fertilizers are urea, nitrate, and ammonium. How to synthesize them under the existing crude conditions seems a bit difficult...

While thinking so wildly, he checked the autumn and winter account books sent from various places.

Looking at it, I frowned. The income of cement factories in various places was not right last year. Why was it less than half?On the contrary, the design patent fee sent by the shipyard is much higher.

what happened?

"Mo Zhu, did the people from the cement factory deliver a letter?" Song Qingyue asked.

Mo Zhu, as if remembering something, shook his head first, and said: "No, is there a problem with the account book?" She leaned over and pretended to read the account book, and said in a low voice: "Shi Zifei, you have a letter, the cement factory has left me alone." I will give it to you in private."

"Okay, you can bring it to me in the evening."

~
At night, Mo Fan waited for Song Qingyue to wash up, and said while wiping her hair, "His Royal Highness has gone to listen to Yuxuan."

Song Qingyue was preoccupied with the matter of synthesizing nitrogen fertilizer, she hummed absently, and then looked at Mo Fan with doubts on her face.

"Listen to Yuxuan?"

"That Princess Yunying lives in Tingyuxuan." Mo Fan said carefully.

Song Qingyue let out a sudden oh, and rubbed her heart. Fortunately, she didn't feel anything.From the first day she knew that she was going to marry Li Zhao, she began to do psychological construction for herself. It has been two years of construction, and it is not bad, and the effect is outstanding.

Song Qingyue began to think about the philosophy of life. For example, as long as you don't pursue too perfect or too little time in anything in life, you can broaden your horizons and avoid disasters.When the moon is full, it loses, when it is full, it overflows, and when it is full, it loses.

Of course, it's not bad to be like Li Zhen and Meng Wanfeng, but it's too hard, and fighting against the rules is the most difficult.

Song Qingyue knew very well that whether it was her to Li Zhao or Li Zhao to her, the love between them was never unconditional.

To put it simply, the relationship between them is based on mutual benefit and mutual achievement, not on the basis of mutual sacrifice.

Li Zhao would not sacrifice what he pursued for her, and likewise, she would not sacrifice herself for Li Zhaolai.

To put it bluntly, we can only share joys and sorrows.

Song Qingyue knew very well that she herself was a modern person who pursued egoism, and if Li Zhao fell down one day, she would probably not want to suffer with him for the rest of her life.

But Meng Wanfeng and Li Wei are willing to sacrifice everything for each other, they can share the suffering.

This is the difference.

She had reservations about Li Zhao, she would not give everything for him, but in turn, she felt that she could not ask him to do everything for her.

If you can live, you can live, if you can't, just like all noble couples, be a partner and live together.

Love or something, you can live if you throw it away.

Song Qingyue had already thought about this very clearly.

She looked at Mo Zhu, and said, "Do you know when Ting Yuxuan's childhood was?"

Mo Zhu hurriedly said: "I know, I have been recording it."

"Is it stable?"

Mo Zhu nodded: "It's quite stable, the cycle is around the 28th, so the days are different every month."

"What about this month?"

"Come soon, there are still four or five days left." Mo Zhu said.

Song Qingyue suddenly lowered her head and smiled, and asked again: "Has your son ever asked this?"

Mo Zhu nodded: "I asked, on the day His Highness came back, Eunuch Lin quietly asked his servants about this."

That guy Li Zhao has learned how to calculate the safe period, he specially picked Yunying's safe period.

Not bad, this man is quite trustworthy.

Can't hope for more.

She asked Mo Fan to go back to rest, looked at Mo Zhu and said: "It's a letter, bring it to me."

Mo Zhu took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to Song Qingyue.

Song Qingyue opened the letter, read it quickly, and frowned.More than half of the ball mills in several cement factories suddenly broke down, resulting in lower output and spending money to build new ball mills.

The Geng family, one of the great sea merchants in south of the Five Ridges, started out as pirates, and was considered the largest gang of pirates in Guangzhou. Later, they were recruited by the Nanyang Navy led by King Su.

Wait, does King Su have a Liangyuan surnamed Geng?So this is what King Su meant?

What does King Su want so many ball mills for?
What does it take to rebel?Money, food, gunpowder, weapons.

Making gunpowder doesn't require so many ball mills, you have to find a hidden place to boil the nitrate.

As for weapons... Could it be that a lot of iron is needed to make weapons?
Isn't the ball mill just a bunch of iron balls?

After thinking about it this way, I understand.

Come on, even if it wasn't King Su's instruction, King Su would definitely know about it. This year's profit share is almost half of that of previous years. King Su is also one of the major shareholders of the cement plant. If it wasn't for King Su's instruction , With so much money missing, he had to jump up.

So there is no need to ask King Su, just pretend that you don't know, Song Qingyue shook her head, and burned the letter in the copper furnace.

At this time, in Ting Yuxuan's bedroom, the water-red curtains, tablecloths, and wedding candles have not been replaced yet.

Li Zhao looked at the shy Princess Yunying a little anxiously.

She was obviously a hearty woman when we met on the grassland. Look at the broad shoulders and burly biceps. This Yunying is a strong woman who can pull a four-stone bow.

Why didn't I see her for more than half a year, and now she turned into this delicate and soft appearance, which really made Li Zhao feel a little bit embarrassed.

He walked slowly to the side of the bed and sat down, looked at Yunying and asked with a cold face: "Don't you like my cousin? Why did you change your mind to marry this son?"

"Your great emperor asked me to marry you." Yunying said aggrievedly, and the nanny standing behind Li Zhao pointed at the kite, desperately reminding her to change the subject quickly!This topic is not good!No answer is wrong!
Yunying let out a cry, and said very abruptly: "His Royal Highness, Your Highness! I... can I play the zither for you? I came here to learn, and I have been studying for more than half a year!"

"Wait, my son is asking questions." Li Zhao held her back, "Do you still like Li Zhen now?"

"No! He doesn't want me, why do I have to pester him! I'm not cheap." Yunying yelled, and realized that her voice was a little louder, so she quickly covered her mouth with a veil.

Li Zhao looked at this burly female man pretentiously in front of him, his eyelids twitched, and he said helplessly, "I like this person for a while, and I like that person for a while, so I'm not afraid that my son will be angry?"

"But I haven't liked His Highness yet! No... No, I mean, we haven't gotten along yet. I'm satisfied with Your Highness's appearance. It's your temperament. In fact, I don't like it that much. I think you lied to me at the beginning. I have a lot of cattle, sheep and horses! However, Your Majesty the Emperor promised to give my father 1000 taels of silver and [-] dendrobium of wheat every year, well, those cattle, sheep and horses will be sold to you." Yun Ying snapped her fingers, Blinking his big innocent eyes.

She has thick eyelashes, a high nose bridge, and a big round face that looks very blessed at first glance. Her skin is slightly rough, and there are two spots of plateau red on her cheekbones that were caused by the wind and sun last year. nor.

This is, this girl really looks a bit stupid and lacking a muscle.

Li Zhao raised his forehead, waved his hand, and said, "Take the kite down, you don't need to play it anymore, I'm tired today, let's just rest."

After all, he lay down, covered with a thin quilt, lay face down, and fell asleep.

Yun Ying's face was a little red, she looked at the mothers, saw the mothers nodding, and climbed onto the bed too.

The servant girl who followed Yunying from Mongolia helped to lower the curtain and even blew the lamp.

Yunying lay down, closed her eyes and waited for a long time but did not see any movement from Li Zhao. She was a little impatient, but Mammy said that men in the Central Plains don't like women who are too active.

So, just waiting and waiting, she accidentally fell asleep.

When he woke up early in the morning, Li Zhao had disappeared.

She rubbed her eyes, sat up hugging the thin quilt, and asked, "Nurse, where is Your Highness?"

"Let's go." Mammy's face turned green with bitterness, "Your Highness said that he has to enter the palace early this morning."

Yunying seemed to have just now remembered that she and His Highness hadn't done anything last night, so she asked Nanny Pan anxiously: "Mommy, that, I remember you said that when the concubines are serving the bed for the first time, the main courtyard will For a reward. Look, Madam, is there any more rewards like this I have?"

Everyone in the room was speechless looking at this innocent side concubine who was only thinking of rewards. You are a princess after all, why are you so full of hairpins, rings, jewelry and fabrics? !

Everyone prepared for a long time yesterday, but didn't hear any movement inside, so it was really quiet all night.

Everyone in the yard was extremely disappointed. It seems that His Royal Highness did not like this one!
This is much more serious than whether there is a reward from the main courtyard, okay?

Listening to the little girl in charge of fetching hot water in Yuxuan whispering: "I just said that this person can't be favored. What kind of princess, huh, I just look at a village girl."

The other little girl also sighed: "Compared with Shizi Concubine, it's really a heaven and an earth."

"Actually, it's not bad. I see her eyelashes are quite long, and she looks pretty good-looking. Maybe His Highness likes the slender and weak Princess Concubine."

"In August of this year, I will go to the main courtyard to sign up for the literacy class. I heard that I can be promoted to be the maid next to the crown prince."

"I'm going, I'm going too!"

The nanny surnamed Lu started to think about it when she heard this conversation. She thought that Yuxuan seemed to have no future, and she had to find another way out!

Mother Pan wanted to reprimand her, but she didn't speak in the end.

This is a fact, there is no future in Ting Yuxuan, if you want to be rich and have a future, you have to rely on the main courtyard.

Hey!
She sighed, if she hadn't grown old and lost the desire to cling, she would have signed up for that literacy class, but unfortunately she is old and can't compete with these young girls who are full of vigor, so she can raise her here .
