Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

What Wang Xiujin, the big ship returning from overseas, has been thinking about is not the rare beasts that the people miss, nor the gold and silver that officials think about, but the technology that belongs to overseas and is one step ahead...electricity.When he didn't know that there was electricity in this world, he just passed it like this, and he didn't think too much about it. Who told him not to understand the principle of electricity, but after hearing that there is such a thing, how could he be depressed? expectations.

Ever since he found out, Wang Xiujin stretched his neck and waited for the professional and technical talents to be brought back, bringing a different light to Daliang. The idea of ​​going out to sea, watching another big ship go out to sea, has been waiting for several years, he knows that the big ship is not just for him, it is not easy for a big ship to go out to sea, without satellite positioning, there is no so-called Black box, no weather forecast, how dangerous is the voyage on the sea, traveling to the sea just for him is like a dream.

Waiting for the return of the ship, although it cannot be said that it is counting the days and looking forward to it every day, but it is still thinking about when the big ship will return from time to time. However, there is no effective communication method. Until now, Wang Xiujin is still curious, how did the emperor know that the big ship will be brought to Zhen The beast returns.If there is a big ship returning early, he will get the news, but he didn't, send a carrier pigeon?It's too unrealistic. No matter how good a pigeon is, it can't fly over a vast ocean. Even if it can fly over, the sea is not safe. Not to mention the sky, it is the sea. There are many hidden ones that can rush out of the sea and swallow them in an instant. The big fish of the bird, let the carrier pigeon deliver the letter, it is more unbelievable than Toto's dream.

Wang Xiujin finally had the opportunity to meet people who had returned from overseas more than ten days after returning to Beijing. The place where they met was not the General's Mansion, but the Imperial Palace.The emperor showed great interest in the "electricity" that Wang Xiujin was thinking about. After finishing the business, the emperor recruited Wang Xiujin, the royal relative who had returned from overseas and was in charge of tracing people, into the palace, and asked about it in the imperial garden.

The foreigners brought back this time learned a lot of Daliang’s language during the several months of floating on the sea. Although they didn’t speak very fluently, they were much better than the foreigners who came last time. At least they knew that they had to kneel before the emperor. Kowtow, or you will be bumped.When I arrived in the capital, I quickly changed into Daliang's unique costumes to let myself blend into Daliang as soon as possible. Although I couldn't change my appearance, it wouldn't make myself look so special.

Wang Xiujin felt very satisfied with the foreigners who came this time, and what these foreigners knew made Wang Xiujin very excited, and one of the foreigners who came to Daliang was a student of Mr. Ouxi, the inventor of electricity. Wang Xiujin didn't care who invented it. But he was able to abduct his students, so he decided to send a slaughtered cow to the royal family in charge of the matter, which was done beautifully.

With talents, everything else is not difficult. Wang Xiujin is very generous in contracting all the money that can be spent. Only the land needed by the factory is paid by the royal family. Before finding out, he returned to the royal family and Wang Xiujin.After the power plant was built and started to supply power, the civil servants turned black and wanted to classify the power plant as an existing one, but...it was too late.

It is not easy to build a power plant. The parts needed are hand-made by master craftsmen. At first, the expressions of foreigners were not so clear, but translations are needed, and the professional terms are not so smooth. There are also measurement units. It was chaotic, making one piece of waste product after another, and no one complained. In order to encourage everyone, Wang Xiujin gave out meat again and again to make up for the craftsmen.

In order to build the power plant, Wang Xiujin was willing to spend money, and the craftsmen worked even harder for the various things handed out.At this time, people don't have so much thought. If the boss treats them well, they will return ten points.After four years, the power plant was finally established, and various industries were built along with it. Although these industries were built with Wang Xiujin's money, the profit share is still four or six points with the royal family. , and of the [-]%, some will be donated to the royal family.

The emperor's private treasury was full of money. Sometimes when he looked at the private treasury, the emperor couldn't help feeling proud. Which emperor in all dynasties had as much money as him, which emperor had his territory, and which emperor had gifts from foreign countries? There are so many rare beasts.Every time he looked at the private treasury, and counted the full treasury and granary, the emperor claimed to be a generation of Mingjun.From his ascension to the present, he has cleaned up the moths in the court, recruited virtuous ministers, and governed the country wisely. He will surely leave a strong mark in the history books. During the decades of his governance, he deserves the name of "Prosperity and Prosperity".

Rich and willful, the emperor used post-modern terms to the fullest.The military power was in his own hands, so he spent a lot of money to build a military medical center according to the medical center Wang Xiujin built for the workers. If you have enough to eat and want to ride, the horse will not fall down, you have to make the horse comfortable, the saddle, the horseshoe and so on can't be used badly, so I am quite willing to spend money for the soldiers.

The emperor sprinkled a lot of money, so he should still spend it in this camp. Naturally, some people will have suggestions.However, the way the emperor has governed these years has also made some civil servants dare not make too much criticism about the importance of military affairs. There was a small-scale conflict at the border last year, and some civil servants who proposed to send some money, although they were not appointed It's just that the emperor used a more detrimental trick, throwing the civil servants and his family to the border where the conflict started, and waiting for others to come back. No one dared to spend money to buy peace. , hit hard.

At first, my colleagues didn't know what happened to these ministers who suddenly disappeared and then came back suddenly. When they saw them screaming to fight, the way my colleagues looked at them was no different from looking at lunatics and fools. Someone asked me, those ministers Everyone was black-faced and forbidden to speak, and no one was willing to talk.The other ministers knew that it was one of them who was thrown to the border. After drinking with his colleagues, he accidentally drank too much and vomited bitterness. heart, and how the common people scolded the civil servants who stopped the war. The way the common people gritted their teeth, said that none of the civil servants wanted to be good ministers. , should soak the cesspit.

The minister said that if he hadn't experienced the life of the local people at the border, if he heard such words, he would definitely not let those people have a better life, but... Speaking of which, the minister cried, crying so sadly, "I ... I saw with my own eyes those foreigners, like mad dogs, entered the village to grab food, valuables, women, and children. If they were weak or crying children, they would just throw them on the ground. I hated it at that time! Hate that I am not a general, hate that I have no power to restrain a chicken..." The minister wailed as he spoke, and all the colleagues at the wine table were silent. Although they were greedy for money, they still had some conscience. Things, they feel bad.

But a momentary touch of conscience does not mean that they are willing to see the emperor throwing a lot of money to the army, and they still feel uncomfortable.Several ministers felt that their words were weak, so they wanted to find someone who could speak in front of the emperor.Mr. Wang is the first choice. The reason Mr. Wang persuaded was that the emperor’s money was earned by Mr. Wang’s youngest son. If the emperor didn’t give him a finger, Mr. Wang’s youngest son would not be a man. Wife, so that children and grandchildren are cut off.However, on the other hand, this is the unconvincing reason. Mr. Wang's youngest son entered the General's Mansion. From the looks of it, the Wang and Li families got along pretty well.

Skip Mr. Wang, the only ones who can talk are the newly promoted cabinet ministers, but these few... Although they don't seem to have a good relationship with Mr. Wang, they are firmly following the emperor no matter how they look at it. pace of.The emperor said east, and they would never go west. If they wanted to persuade them, they might be persuaded by them.

In the next six departments, except for the Ministry of Accounts and the Ministry of Rites, the others are not counted on, and the heads of the Ministry of Accounting have been changed many times. Either they are not good at eating, or they are too good at picking. They want to pick from the emperor's private treasury all day long. The money came out, so that the emperor was quite dissatisfied with the Ministry of Households, and the current head of the Ministry of Households, who does not talk too much, takes the treasury seriously. Ladies, it's better to rely on the Ministry of Rites, but the Ministry of Rites...has no right to speak than them.The ministers who wanted to make things look at each other, and they all sighed helplessly, wanting to give up but a little unwilling.

These ministers attacked one after another. The emperor hadn't figured out how to deal with the matter of spending money here. The emperor came up with a new trick, asking the Ministry of Households to pay for it. He wanted to build the Great Wall, and the scope was also planned.The ministers thought that the people from the Ministry of Household Affairs would not agree so readily, but they didn't want the people from the Ministry of Household Affairs to immediately report the inventory to the treasury, and said that they would settle the cost of building the Great Wall as soon as possible.

The eyes of the displeased ministers almost popped out, especially after the emperor heard the amount of money, he said that even the city wall on the sea had to be repaired.The ministers who almost suffered from internal injuries did not dare to say anything that wasted money and money. They dared to say that even if they did not move their heads, they would learn all kinds of tricks from the emperor. Now they have to suffer even if they have internal injuries.Thinking about the source of all this, they wished that Wang Xiujin would disappear. Without the imperial merchants earning money for the emperor, where would the emperor have the confidence to not rely heavily on them? It wouldn't be what they said by then, and the emperor would have to deal with it no matter how aggrieved he felt. Endure, it has been like this in all dynasties.

He sneezed several times, and Wang Xiujin rubbed his nose. Why did he feel that someone was talking about him behind his back? It was not a good thing.

"Little Daddy, hold me." With a soft and waxy voice, the outstretched little hand made Wang Xiujin, who was rubbing his nose, immediately take the wet cloth towel from the servant, wipe his hands, and then picked up the doll, "Yo , Daddy’s little padded jacket, it’s quite early after school today!”
