I Don’t Want To Be the Emperor

Chapter 552 Inventions and Creations

The two captains led the horses out from the stable at the entrance of the alley. After Duan Liang waved to them, he walked straight to Wang Xiaoshuan and said with a smile, "You don't have to be on duty today?"

Wang Xiaoshuan looked up and down the food supply and asked, "Are you promoted again?"

Duan Liang said, "Don't interrupt me, I'm asking you something."

Wang Xiaoshuan said, "I will rest this week and don't have to go to the military camp."

“It’s a hot day, why don’t you go out and wander around if you don’t stay at home?”

Duanliang rolled his eyes at him and said, "I haven't had a day off in the past two months. It's too late to envy you. You don't know how to cherish it."

Wang Xiaoshuan said, "You replied to me, have you been promoted again?"

Duan Liang raised his head and said, "What a great honor, sir, I have been appointed as the general."

Wang Xiaoshuan was stunned and said, "This is a real job. After a while, maybe I can be released to lead the army."

Duan Liandao said, "It's not that easy to lead an army. I guess you need some training."

Wang Xiaoshuan pulled him to the shade, and then asked, "Then who did you give the position of disciplinary inspection to?"

 “What did I give it to?

 That I can give to whomever I want? "

Duan Liang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Be careful what you say in the future. How old is he?"

"Okay, don't be picky, then who did Master He give this position to?"

Wang Xiaoshuan put it another way.

"Do you guess?"

Wang Xiaoshuan shook his head and said, "If you can't guess, you'd better just tell me."

 The broken grain road, "It's Zhou Xun."

 “Zhou Xun?”

Wang Xiaoshuan jumped to his feet and said, "She is a bitch.

 Woo woo woo.”

 His mouth was directly covered by the lack of food.

Seeing that he stopped yelling, Duan Liang let go of his hand and said, "If you want to jump around, go home, don't stay here, people will see it, and they will think what's going on."

Wang Xiaoshuan breathed heavily for a long time and glared at the broken food. "You have to use so much force. You almost choked me to death. I'm just curious. Isn't Zhou Xun a spy? He's from the yamen. This has nothing to do with the military." ah."

Duan Liang said calmly, "It is because she has nothing to do with the army that she is suitable to be a picket captain. She does not need to worry about anyone's feelings and bend the law for personal gain."

 “Master He is really wise,”

 Wang Xiaoshuan finished speaking, "Then where are you going now so we can have a drink together?"

　　“Is it trying to show off to you?”

He immediately guessed his purpose.

Wang Xiaoshuan said with a smile, "Brother, you understand me. Now go to Futai Restaurant, and I'll call that guy Fang Pi up."

 Fang Pi didn't think much of him, so he took the missing grain with him so that Fang Pi wouldn't lose face.

"Not today."

Dian Liang shook his head and said.

"Why?"

Wang Xiaoshuan looked at the two captains next to him in confusion, "You don't look like anything is wrong."

If something really happened, we wouldn't just take two captains with us.

Duan Liang whispered, "Today I'm going to be on duty at Prince Yong's Mansion."

 “Prince Yong’s Mansion, that’s not it”

This time, Wang Xiaoshuan covered his mouth before he could stop eating.

 The name Prince is still taboo in Ankang City.

The meaning of losing her grain is obvious, and you know it.

“Okay, I won’t tell you any more, I’m leaving and you can handle your own affairs.”

"etc,"

Wang Xiaoshuan quickly grabbed him, "Let me ask you something, what is Guo Cong's background?"

“Guo Zhao’s son?”

When Duanliang saw him nodding, he said angrily, "You are getting more and more stupid. You can take this kind of dog seriously."

"do not mean that,"

Wang Xiaoshuan smiled and said, "Ye Chen, the shopkeeper Zhang Shun, and Fang Pi's subordinate Zhou Jing are all fawning over each other. If they didn't have any details, it wouldn't be like this, right?"

Dian Liang said nonchalantly, "Then why don't you just ask Fang Pi?

What's the matter with me? "

Wang Xiaoshuan said anxiously, "Let me tell you the truth. I took someone one hundred taels of silver. If you tell me everything, I can have an explanation with the person. Don't you think so?"

Duan Liang sighed and said, "You, if you want to make money, hurry up and get out of the capital camp. Don't make any mistakes again. Otherwise, if something happens in the future, not only will you be unlucky, but Wei Yishan will also be implicated. Why bother?"

Wang Xiaoshuan said with a sneer, "Don't worry, nothing I did was extraordinary. If I were discovered, it wouldn't be a big deal. At most, I wouldn't do it."

"snort,"

Fang Liang said angrily, "Do you think everyone is a fool?

If you don't do this, will Wei Yishan's face be bright?

How would Mr. He think of him?

You, you can’t think solely about yourself, let us brothers think about it.

Okay, that’s it for what I’ve said, you can think about it carefully. "

After speaking, he took the reins from the captain, got on his horse, and galloped away.

"Hey,"

Wang Xiaoshuan looked at the three horses going away and sighed, "What happened to me today? Who did I offend? Nothing goes smoothly."

 After hesitating for a long time, he returned to Futai Restaurant again.

Wang Xun asked curiously, "Why are you back again?"

Wang Xiaoshuan said, "Are they still there?"

Wang Xundao said, "You don't even know what time it is. It's already past dinner time."

“Hey, when you say that, I got hungry immediately and I haven’t eaten yet.”

Wang Xiaoshuan heard that Guo Cong and others had left, so he said, "Please serve me some of your signature dishes, and then come over and have a few drinks with me."

 “I’ll serve the food for you, and you can drink it yourself.”

Wang Xun sighed and said, "My old man is waiting for me outside the city. I have to go and be scolded by him to relieve his anger."

Wang Xiaoshuan asked, "Where did you provoke him?"

 “How dare I provoke him?”

Wang Xun frowned and said, "It's just that he is dissatisfied with me. He sees the business of the Liang family and the Ye family in Ankang City getting bigger and bigger, and he is very jealous."

Wang Xiaoshuan said, "You have done well in the past few years since you came to Ankang City. This restaurant alone can be ranked among the best in Ankang City."

“The key is who you compare with. Compared with the Liang family, they are nothing.”

Wang Xun sighed, "Originally, the Liang family looked down on the restaurant business, but as a result, as soon as they arrived in Ankang City, they opened three restaurants in succession!

 Satin shops, rice shops, and **** shops also blossomed everywhere.

 It can’t be compared, it can’t be compared. "

　　"Luckily you are also a junior graduate,"

Wang Xiaoshuan teased, "No matter how big the silk shop is, it's of no use. It's just about making a little more money.

 You, it is not impossible to surpass them. "

 What does it mean to just make a little more money?

Wang Xun felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, but he didn't want to fall out. What if the other party really had a way to surpass the Liang family's business in Ankang City?

 After hesitating for a while, he still said politely, "What good ideas do you have?"

Wang Xiaoshuan said, "My brothers have already settled their accounts, so don't be so anxious."

What's more, the two of them are not even friends.

Wang Xun immediately understood what he meant, gritted his teeth and said, "If you really have any good ideas, just say it. As long as it's reliable, I'll give you a hundred taels!"

“Talk about money, it’s so emotional, isn’t it?”

Wang Xiaoshuan said with a smile.

 “One thousand taels, don’t think about anything more.”

 Wang Xun was very firm in his approach.

 “Look, brother, you are still so polite,”

Wang Xiaoshuan walked straight to a table on one side and sat down. He waited for Wang Xun to come over and pour him tea, then he picked up the tea cup and said slowly, "There is only one way to surpass them, and that is to get the attention of the prince."

 “This is harder than making money.”

Wang Xun put down the teapot in his hand and said, "Can you tell me something reliable?"

Wang Xiaoshuan drank the water in the tea cup and said, "How did Mo Shun, Deng Ke, Huang Daoji, oh, and Li Sanniang get up?

Mo Shun was originally a refugee in Yuezhou, and his family almost starved to death on the road.

Although Huang Daoji is a native of Baiyun City, he is just a blacksmith, not much better than a refugee. If he and the prince were not building roads in Sanhe, he, the blacksmith, would have wanted to sell his daughter.

As for Deng Ke, he was a carpenter who also lived in poverty. By some strange combination of circumstances, he became a supplier. Because he owed workers wages, he was sent to a labor camp. When everyone thought that the Deng family was going to be doomed, the horse-drawn carriage he made actually turned out to be... He must be valued by the prince and come back to life.

As for Li Sanniang, I don’t need to say more. She is an old woman who is beaten by the men in her family every day. She raises four children and has nothing to eat.

Look back again, although these people today are not as rich as your Wang family, but look at it, which one is not prosperous?

This Mo Shun is still an official. Even if you meet him, you have to be polite, right? "

Wang Xun looked at Wang Xiaoshuan in surprise, as if he didn't know him, "You can actually say such reasonable things, please continue."

Wang Xiaoshuan said, "Deng Ke's carpentry workshop and the prince have been there three times in a row. Huang Daoji's blacksmith shop and the prince have been there no less than ten times in a month. Mo Shun's gunpowder workshop has been to the prince and I don't know." How many times.

Even the prince and Li Sanniang’s clothing shop went to the shop to encourage him to start a textile business in Sanhe.

Li Sanniang was timid at that time and was afraid of losing money, so she didn't dare to do weaving. The opportunity just ran away, otherwise she wouldn't be like now. "

Wang Xun twisted his eyebrows and vaguely felt that he had caught something. Suddenly there was a bang and he slapped his palm on the table, "I understand!"

 “Do you really understand?”

At this moment, the waiter brought the wine and food. Wang Xiaoshuan first picked up a piece of chicken leg and ate it silently.

Wang Xun personally poured wine for Wang Xiaoshuan and said with a smile, "It was my brother's words that woke me up from my dream.

If the prince takes this seriously, he must set up a workshop! "

Wang Xiaoshuan nodded and said, "That's what it means. It's actually about industry. No matter how many restaurants you open, it's better to open a workshop.

 Hand Wang Ye has personally said that invention and creation are the cornerstone of development.

Whether it is textiles or blacksmith shops, they are all valued by the prince, even if it is a mill?

The prince and I went to the water mill outside Ankang City several times. The shopkeeper was from Jizhou. In order to reward him for his contribution to improving the water mill, he and the prince directly gave him a medal of 'First Class Invention'. Now he is here In Ankang City, let alone walking sideways, at least no one dared to provoke him easily. "

Wang Xun said eagerly, "Then what kind of workshop do you think I should set up?

 But our family also has a workshop, and neither the prince nor I have ever been there once. "

Wang Xiaoshuan took a sip of wine and yawned, "Your family has a blacksmith shop and a clothing store, but have you done anything that others haven't done?"

 To put it bluntly, it’s still not creative. You have to do something different from others. "

"invent,"

Wang Xun frowned and thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Just tell me, and I'll give you another thousand taels."

Wang Xiaoshuan said, "You know what the first prize is in this year's invention competition, right?"

Wang Xun smiled and said, "Brother, I've been immersed in the store all day, and I don't know much about what's going on outside."

Wang Xiaoshuan said, "I don't know what it is specifically, but it's probably something used on boats. At that time, I and Wang Ye were the judges. After seeing it, I yelled "yes" and decided it as the first prize. Not only did I let him be the judge, Jizhou Navy consultant also provided money for him to build a shipyard. "

Wang Xundao, "He Wangye is wise and powerful, and he knows what's good."

Wang Xiaoshuan nodded and said, "So, as long as you come up with something good, I and the prince will definitely not bury you."

 “So, what do I do?”

 Wang Xun continued to ask.

Wang Xiaoshuan said, "We still can't invent it ourselves, so why not go to the Academy of Sciences and spend money to buy a patent? Now this is called the integration of industry, academia and research."

 “Patent?”

Wang Xun was confused.

Wang Xiaoshuan sighed, "Do you really know nothing?"

Wang Xun rolled his eyes at him and said, "Just say it directly, I won't lose your money."

Wang Xiaoshuan said, "The craftsmen of the Daliang Academy of Sciences have worked tirelessly to invent many good things, but if they want to make them, they need money. Our treasury is empty and we don't have that much money.

The prince thought of a way to allow good people among the people to buy this invention.

 Or provide money to cooperate with the Academy of Sciences and run workshops together.

 This is called the integration of industry, academia and research. "

Wang Xun's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea."

“So, your workshop still has to rely on the Academy of Sciences,”

Wang Xiaoshuan said unhurriedly, "The Academy of Sciences has a cooperation directory. If you have time, go to the Academy of Sciences and look around. If you see something worth doing, just buy it."

Wang Xundao, "You will really lose money if you do this, so you might as well go out and continue doing business."

 “Someone just said it before.”

Wang Xiaoshuan couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when he thought about running out of food.

 Did you really do something wrong?

 But as the old saying goes, being an official for thousands of miles is just for wealth.

If it wasn't for money, why would he be an official?

Thinking of this, the wine in the glass filled his stomach directly.

“The idea was yours, let’s go into partnership together,”

Wang Xun continued to pour wine for him, "I don't know much about the invention competition, but I know about the affairs of the court. Mr. Xing Keshou is investigating official corruption in front of his eyes. He can't get rid of the dirt in his eyes. You stand up for this now." , To hold up the scene for that, something will happen sooner or later, so it’s better to come out of Beijing camp to avoid any trouble in the future. "

 “You think so too?”

Wang Xiaoshuan’s eyes widened.

Wang Xun smiled and said, "You do have some talent when it comes to business, but I still know more about officialdom than you do.

 You have passed. "

Wang Xiaoshuan raised his head and sighed, "Grandma, you are a bear, I will listen to you.

This guy has been working hard for a whole year and can't make much money. It's too tiring. "

 It’s better to make money quickly by doing business.
