Chapter 192 Trivia
Sending away the two Sun and Xu, Yang Reform is happy and tired.

Today I have gained a lot, not only the science and religion, but also a science academy, and even two ways to get rich.

Wang Chengen looked at His Majesty the Emperor kindly. This emperor has really grown up. His behavior is becoming more and more incomprehensible. His knowledge has far surpassed him. What he does and says is basically what he said. They were all in a daze and didn't understand much, but seeing that both Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi admired the emperor, they knew it was not a bad thing.

"Your Majesty, do you want to take a break?" Wang Chengen looked at the emperor's exhausted expression, feeling extremely distressed.

"Hey, no need, buddy, I've gained a lot today, I'm happy, happy!" Yang Reform was weary and happy.Although he said that he didn't need to rest, he kept yawning and rolling his eyes.

Yang Reform feels that his time is not enough, and he still has too many things to do.I have to deal with everything by myself, this is really tiring.

"Big Companion, by the way, prepare me a copy of the experiences of the elders in the cabinet. I want to read it." Yang Reform suddenly remembered something. His own cabinet is very weak and can hardly help him. Busy, otherwise, I wouldn't be so tired.

"I obey, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen was very surprised. The emperor suddenly wanted to read the copy of the cabinet ministers?Doesn't this mean that the emperor intends to change the cabinet?Trendy and new atmosphere, it seems that it is time for a replacement.

"Also, for those who make magnifying glasses, let's set up a special place, no, this, I have other plans..." Yang Reform plans to build a glasses factory, but think about it, it's better for the Sun brothers and sisters to make this thing. Come on, this glass is produced by them, and secondly, hand it over to them to make it, so that your own interests can be maximized. If you leave it to the eunuchs, you can do it, but you will inevitably have to make money from it, and I don’t have that for the time being. Free time to fight corruption.

"In addition, tell the craftsmen of the Internal Officials that my promise is still valid. Those who can imitate the clock as soon as possible will be rewarded. Those who can greatly reduce the size of the clock will be rewarded. They can carry the clock in their hands. I have given him great gifts, patents, money, and official positions, understand? Let’s talk to the craftsmen in the internal government..." Although Xu Guangqi was also planning to study clocks, Yang The reform decision is still not to relax my own research. These things need to be competitive to be fast. What I lack most is time, and I am even more short of money.

"As you order, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen agreed.

"In addition, when will Mangui come to Beijing?" Yang Reform was worried about the matter of Mangui again. When Mangui entered Beijing, an important sign was to attack the Mongols. The attack on the Mongols followed It was the Shanxi merchants, and then the salt merchants... Now the wild boar skins are probably "cleaning up" the Mongols.Yang Reform was going to wait for the wild boar skin to be cleaned up, and then clean it up again by himself.Let the Mongols know that the wild boar skin can clean you up, and I, the Ming Dynasty, can also clean you up. Take it easy when the wild boar skin dries.Mangui's entry into Beijing was also the beginning of his own arms sales. This Mongolian business could not be done without the protection of the army and bodyguards. The colonies in the future would not work without the protection of armed forces.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this edict has been going on for about [-] days. It is estimated that there will be another ten and a half months. It should be almost the same. It is a long way from this pass to here." Wang Chengen thought for a while, and reported a number.

Yang Reform secretly calculated in his mind, the imperial decree will go out for 20 days?Still have to wait another 20 days?This ancient traffic is really not good!This is simply the core of the Core II, the accessories of the Pentium II!Badly mismatched.

"Another 20 days? How long?" Yang Reform felt that it was too long in this world.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is already considered fast. It will take many days for the imperial decree to reach Lord Man Guiman. When the imperial decree arrives, it is necessary to call the garrisons from all over the place, pack up their belongings, and arrange defense before they can rush to the capital. It’s already not easy.” Wang Chengen helped Man Gui with a few words, the speed of Ming Dynasty people and modern people are two different concepts.

Yang Reform was speechless. Man Gui entered the capital and hadn't mentioned it yet, so Zhao led the teachings might have to wait. Qin Liangyu is far away in Sichuan. I'm afraid this time will have to be counted in years!Yang Reform burst into tears. This was too procrastinating. Yang Reform remembered that it only took a few hours to travel from Guangzhou to Wuhan by high-speed rail!If they were all transported by high-speed rail, it would take less than twelve hours, and Qin Liangyu's men and horses would appear in front of his eyes. This is really incomparable!
Yang Reform was speechless for a while, knowing that he had messed with King Qin's army.I stopped thinking about it and started thinking about other things.

"When will the weaving artisans called from the south arrive in Beijing?" Yang Reform was still thinking about the weaving artisans in the south. He had already told Sun Liniang to collect wool, but the weaving artisans hadn't arrived yet. Didn't mention it, this is related to a series of big moves in the north, if they get out of touch, their losses will be great.Had to ask about it.

Wang Chengen was also confused by the emperor's question, and said: "Your Majesty, this matter, servant girl think about it..., servant girl has already ordered to go down, this Jiangnan Weaving will definitely send the craftsmen as quickly as possible,... oh ...Thinking about it, it may have been more than a month. If the servant girl's estimate is correct, the craftsman is probably on the way. It will be faster to take the canal waterway in the south of the Yangtze River. I estimate that there will be two more In about ten days, I'm afraid it will be here soon." Although Wang Chengen's memory is far better than the emperor's, he still couldn't stand the emperor asking questions one after another, and the questions were still the same as these little sesame seeds.Fortunately, Wang Chengen's memory is really good, and he quickly remembered what the emperor said.

Another twenty days?Yang Reform felt that the traffic in the Ming Dynasty was really hopeless, and he wanted to hurry up, but all this time was wasted on the road. Without craftsmen, there would be no textile machines, so he could only let Sun Liniang collect the money. The wool and cotton that I have obtained are stockpiled. As for experimenting with weaving technology and exploring how to use wool to make cloth, this can only be discussed in the future.

Yang Reform shook his head, it was really not good enough!
"Have all those foreigners registered?" Yang Reform asked again.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, are you talking about those barbarians?" Wang Chengen asked.

"Well, yes, they are the barbarian people I met last time." The ancient names for foreigners are also different, and Yang Reform can only adapt.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the slaves have already asked them to make books." Wang Chengen replied again.

"Well, very good. Give the information to Master Sun and ask him to pick some from it. As the military instructor of the New Army Artillery Battalion, he is responsible for teaching the New Army how to fire artillery. Remember to tell Master Sun that you must learn the skills of foreigners. Not only to figure out how to fire the cannon accurately, but also to figure out the principle, that is, to figure out the reason, so that if we leave the foreigners, our Ming Dynasty will not be caught blind..." Yang Reform also sent those hired Western gunners It was assigned.I remember that there were two shipbuilding experts in it, and they had been arranged separately. Most of the others were gunners or something. Now, they will all be sent to Sun Chengzong, and let them lead the artillery battalion of the new army.

"Obey, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen was a little anxious today, the emperor had never issued so many imperial edicts at one time, even with Wang Chengen's good memory, he was afraid of forgetting something.Started to get nervous.

Yang Reform recklessly said to himself: "Well, let Sun Yuanhua start researching cannons, first send him 10 taels of silver, which can be regarded as the cost of research, similarly, let him not only figure out how to make cannons, but also have Find out why, otherwise, without foreigners, our Ming Dynasty would not be able to make cannons, understand? In addition, choose two reliable, clever, and good at arithmetic eunuchs to be his 'accountants' to record the use of money According to the situation, if necessary, some of the foreigners can be selected as assistants."

Yang Reform felt that he had not dealt with many things, and he dealt with several things at once.Although he was very happy, this was the first time that Wang Chengen was made to sweat by the imperial decree issued by the emperor. This order was too much.

"I obey, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Also, big companion, prepare me the location information of the various saltworks I'm facing, um, I'll use it as a document..., no, forget it,... oh... let's prepare it..." Yang Reform was confused, and then I remembered that the salt administration has been suspended now, and it is time for the layout of the salt field, and I have to borrow ancient materials.Just relying on my own random pointers, it is a natural salt field, this matter is really mysterious.

"I obey, Your Majesty..." Wang Chengen began to wipe his sweat.

"Is there any news from Mao Wenlong?" Yang Reform asked another question that was not related to the previous one.

"Also... this,...forget it..." Yang Reform is still going to ask about the disaster relief, to see how the preparations are going. The previous discussion was to transport grain to the northwest by water, but now I don't know how the arrangement is. , Now, it is already May, and the summer harvest is coming. When the harvest time comes, there is no food in the field. Even if the peasant rebellion is about to start, the time is too urgent. Yang Reform thinks that this The signs of rebellion, that is, something between January and February, this is why Yang Reform is not in a hurry?Yang Reform wanted to ask. Seeing Wang Chengen sweating profusely and constantly wiping his forehead, he remembered that he was confused today and had to give too many orders. Besides, it is useless to just ask Wang Chengen about this matter. I have to ask Xu Guangqi, and I have to ask the courtiers, this is really troublesome!Yang Reform also wiped his forehead, there are so many things!
……

The dazed Yang Reform felt very depressed.

"Big Companion, go out of the palace." Yang Reform wants to go out now. This is related to the layout of the North, so he has to be careful. Once the North moves Shanxi Merchants, it will immediately sweep the whole country. Mistakes, and, my own money is almost running out. Recently, this money has been spent like running water.It's gone with a bang.Several million taels of silver!It was gone, and Yang Reform had to go out to see how his gold and silver were doing.

Wang Chengen didn't talk too much, and immediately helped the emperor change his clothes.

After leaving the palace, he went straight to Liulichang.

Shen Fuyuan greeted him early at the intersection.

"My subordinates see you, Young Master." Shen Fuyuan didn't kneel down to salute, but simply bowed and clasped his fists, which was regarded as a salute.

"Well, Shen Fuyuan, how is the business of Liuli Zhai now? Is there someone making trouble?" Yang Huaifu saw that the business of Liuli Zhai seemed to be very good from a distance. Hang the color, dress up very stylishly.

Shen Fuyuan has always been dressed as a "folk person", no different from the escort guard.Mixed in the crowd, there is also the shadow of Jinyiwei Qianhu.

"Back to son, how is the business going? I have to ask Miss Sun. I don't dare to talk too much when I'm young, hee hee...Master, it's been very peaceful recently, and there is no one who doesn't have eyes to come and make trouble." Shen Fuyuan didn't dare to talk casually. The emperor and the empress should have something to say, but they just reported their own affairs.

Yang Reform nodded and said, "It's good that no one is making trouble. The business seems to be good! You have to pay attention to the glass factory. Don't stay here all day, and let people copy the old place, you know?" Yang Reform remembers that some high-ranking officials were planning to seize his own property before, but they were taken home by himself. Presumably, after this incident, everyone knew that the backstage of this store was very tough, and no one dared to come and make trouble.Yang Reform felt that Jin Yiwei was very capable as his commercial bodyguard.

Shen Fuyuan was taken aback by the emperor's words, thinking that the emperor blamed him for only enjoying the prosperity and not caring about the affairs of the factory, so he was so frightened that he immediately said: "Young master, the young one must never dare to miss the important affairs of the young master. On the factory side, there are several groups of fans watching, and the younger ones go there every day to watch, and they will never miss the big business of the young master." Shen Fuyuan quickly explained.

"Well, yes, you are still too young, work hard for a while, when you get older and have more experience, I will find you a new job, and I won't let you keep doing this, don't worry." Yang Reform knew The importance of this guy, from the very beginning, I kept giving him sweets and winning his heart. Now that the glass is selling so well, I have to win him over. If no one is watching this golden mountain and silver mountain, it will be a big loss. up.

Shen Fuyuan is only in his twenties, and he is a thousand households of Jinyiwei. Of course, this has something to do with heredity. However, it is quite difficult to get promoted at this age, basically impossible, because it is all hereditary. Now, others don’t need to be hereditary, and the positions that don’t need to be hereditary are really limited, not the emperor’s cronies, not the court ministers, Shen Fuyuan’s eyes turned red immediately, and said: “The little one must swear to follow the son to the death, and not to mistake the son. I will do my job well for you son..." Shen Fuyuan cried on his face, but his heart was very sweet, and with the emperor's promise, he would surely flourish.Going higher and higher, of course, the official position of Jinyiwei Qianhu is also very good.Now this woman who protects the emperor, the emperor's property, this matter is also very good, at least no one dares to provoke him, even his immediate boss, he has to be polite to himself.Shen Fuyuan misses this position a little bit and gets better.

"Shen Fuyuan, I go in by myself, so don't follow me, otherwise, once you go in, people will inevitably guess my identity when you go in, do you understand?" The door was open, and Yang Reform heard that there seemed to be a lot of people inside. Thinking of it, he couldn't go in with the chief bodyguard of Liulizhai, otherwise, what would others think?Many people know the details of Shen Fuyuan.

Shen Fuyuan understood the meaning of the emperor, and said: "Obey, Your Majesty."

After finishing speaking, I entered Liulizhai. Inside, the decoration is magnificent. As the signboard of this store, there are glass and mirrors everywhere. What's more exaggerated is that there are two mirrors that are as tall as a person. The big red flower on the head is placed in the lobby, which has become the signboard of this store. It can be said that it is very grand and lively.

I only heard shouts from inside: "Little shopkeeper, you invited your big shopkeeper out! We have been waiting for more than an hour."

A young man in the store replied shyly: "My lord, the small one can't decide this matter. The big shopkeeper has gone to take a nap and hasn't woken up yet. The small one doesn't dare to disturb the big shopkeeper." Rest, I still want to eat this dinner, please take care of me."

Seeing the clerk's excuse, the person who yelled just now couldn't help it, so he sighed and continued to sit on the chair and drink tea.

Yang Reform took a look. In this shop, there were several people sitting and many standing. Those who were sitting drank tea continuously, and most of them didn't talk much, while those who were standing were talking in low voices. Seeing what, seeing Yang Reform and his party coming in, they all stared at him. Seeing that Yang Reform was well dressed and well-looking, and this group of people had a lot of style, knowing that this person had a lot of background, they all looked sideways.However, the people here are also extraordinary and have backgrounds. Although they glanced sideways a few times, they did not cause much commotion. Those who drink tea drink tea, the discussion should be discussed.

When the shop assistants saw Yang Reform coming, they immediately warmly greeted him and welcomed Yang Reform into the back room.At this time, there was a burst of exclamation in the store, and they all speculated, who is this character, who is so powerful, can get such treatment in this Liulizhai, and can even go to the back room... Although there are many Everyone has complaints. They feel that this guy doesn't follow the rules and should come on a first-come-first-served basis. However, here is a place where status and background are compared. If you think they don't entertain you, you can leave. No one begs you. However, No one has trouble with silver, and now this glass is so hot that anyone wants to get a taste of it. If you want to use some official position to suppress this place, there is already a servant who is very quick to get out. Some people who think about this place, It even disappeared inexplicably, making people even more concerned about the backstage here, and it is better to take it easy when doing things.

Regardless of the strange gaze behind him, Yang Reform turned around a few times and arrived in front of Sun Liniang's boudoir.

The store clerk brought Yang Reform here, stopped moving forward, and said with a charming smile: "Master, Miss Sun is upstairs, she is probably taking a nap."

"Oh, take a nap?" Yang Reform looked at the sky, it's getting late, are you still taking a nap?Without further ado, I went upstairs.

The door was open, and it opened with a slight push. Yang Reform originally thought that there would be a Haitangchun sleeping or something, but he found that Sun Liniang was dressing up in front of the vanity mirror. When he saw someone coming in, he was about to scold him. Yang Reform came in, immediately changed his smiling face, and said, "Young master is here."

"Well, here we come." Yang Reform turned around and closed the door.
