241. Have a good time together and have a good time together + being the dean in name?
When Xie Yan returned home in the evening, he heard that Luo Junyao was still in the small courtyard that was newly built as a study room, so he went straight there without going back to his room.
Song Huan and Qin Ning had already left, and Luo Junyao was lying alone at the stone table in the yard, writing and drawing with a charcoal pen.
Xie Yan walked over and looked down, and found that what Luo Junyao was drawing seemed to be a machine structure diagram with a rather complicated structure. Although His Highness the Regent was very knowledgeable, he obviously still had shortcomings. For a while, he didn't know what it was.
.
Just looking at the complex but clear lines and structures, it is obvious that this was not a random drawing by the princess on a whim.
"Are you back?" Luo Junyao raised his head and smiled at him, then continued to think with his head down and his pen in his mouth.
Xie Yan sat down next to her, looked at the pile of drawings on the table, and asked, "What are you drawing?"
Luo Junyao put down his pen, pulled the ones beside him, and handed them to him one by one, "This is the loom, this is the jacquard loom, this is the velvet loom, this is the brocade loom, and this one... I'm drawing
It’s a tapestry machine.”
Xie Yan was a little surprised, "Do you still understand these?" And the drawings were decent. Although Xie Yan didn't know whether these drawings were correct or not, such sophisticated and complicated drawings at least showed that she was not imagining them out of thin air.
Luo Junyao said: "There are some in the library of Anlan Academy." She really didn't lie. Anlan Academy was divided into many subjects back then, and the books in the library were naturally very miscellaneous. But now those books have long been
It's a pity that people are left in a corner to gather dust.
Xie Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "You said you wanted to open a workshop earlier. Are you... planning to compete with the Gu family and Qi family for business?"
Luo Junyao couldn't help but glare at him, "What does grabbing business mean? It's just healthy competition at best. And... maybe we can win-win cooperation."
Xie Yan clicked on her pile of drawings and said, "You are obviously planning to make high-end silk and satin." Common people mostly wear plain or solid-color cotton and linen. They can't afford those silks, jacquards, and gold woven fabrics.
We can’t afford the tapestry products that are said to be worth one tael of gold per inch of tapestry.
There are still very few people who can afford these. The Qi family and the Gu family are both silk merchants with profound backgrounds, and it is not easy to compete with them for business.
Luo Junyao was not in a hurry, "Things are rare and valuable. Many things cannot be used by ordinary people because they are rare. I have inquired that although the Gu Qi family also has some weaving and embroidery workshops under their names, they only make some products for the rich and powerful.
High-quality, mid- to low-end fabrics are all recovered from small workshops or ordinary people's homes. These people's machines and craftsmanship are uneven, and their efficiency is not very good."
Xie Yan looked at the drawings on the table, and Luo Junyao smiled and said: "When these machines are made, the efficiency should be better than the best machines of the Gu family and the Qi family." Xie Anlan, besides fighting, is only a nymphomaniac, change
The world still has to look at her big blue. That is to say, today's industrial base is not enough, otherwise she can draw even warships and aircraft, let alone a few looms.
Xie Yan was silent. Luo Junyao looked at him a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Xie Yan asked: "How much faster can your loom be than the best one now?"
Luo Junyao said with certainty: "At least three times faster, right?" This is the last and most advanced hand-woven machine before mechanization.
Xie Yan sighed lightly, stretched out his hand to rub Luo Junyao's head and said, "If a large amount of cheap fabrics suddenly appeared, those ordinary people who rely on handicrafts to subsidize their lives..."
"Ayan, it is wrong to resist technological progress." Luo Junyao said seriously.
Xie Yan chuckled lightly and said with some helplessness: "The imperial court has no money to help those people now, and most of them will not be able to leave home to work in your workshop in a short time. Once they weave something, no one wants it.
, their lives will be even more difficult."
Luo Junyao held up his chin and said, "You seem to be right...but there are still many people who can't put on clothes, which shows that there is not a surplus of fabrics on the market and there is not enough."
"They can't afford it." Xie Yan shook his head.
Yao Yao didn't know this in the capital, but Xie Yan knew it after being outside for a long time. There were more people who couldn't even afford the cheapest fabric. It was already very difficult for them to cover their bodies and feed themselves.
Cheap fabrics have no meaning to them.
After being silent for a while, Luo Junyao asked: "What if we don't do Dasheng's business, or we only do a small amount and don't hit Dasheng's market?"
Xie Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Almost all trade routes to various countries are owned by their owners."
Luo Jun shook his head and said: "I heard from eldest brother that my uncle from the Lin family is now running a maritime trade route and has his own merchant ship. I can ask him to cooperate. And... other people's trade routes can also be cooperated. There is no shortage of neighboring countries.
Sell further afield.”
Xie Yan said: "The Lin family in Zhangzhou...can indeed consider it, but..."
Luo Junyao looked at him and suddenly laughed, "Ayan, I think you are thinking too much. We have nothing but these drawings now. Even if we have to think about sales, it will have to be at least a few months later.
.”
Xie Yan said: "It will be too late to think about it by then."
Luo Junyao came close to him and said with a smile: "Are you worried that I will be sad if I mess up?"
"What do you think?" Xie Yanxiao looked at her and said.
Luo Junyao leaned on his shoulder and said: "Don't worry about me, how can such a thing be 100% successful? Even if it is really smashed, I put these drawings in front of the Qi family and the Gu family, they will rush to buy them. Instead of worrying
I would rather worry...what if I fail, give others hope and then break..." It is impossible to say that there is no pressure at all.
She has been doing nothing these days, and is a little worried about whether she can take on such a big responsibility. Once you get started, you can't just give up the job if you say you don't want to do it.
Xie Yan lowered his head and looked at the smiling little girl in front of him, "Why would you want to do this?"
Luo Junyao thought for a while and said: "I thought about it carefully. I probably can't be a powerful female hero like Bai Jingrong, let alone a... um, a model among women like the Queen Mother. I guess I can't even assist the government like the Queen Mother.
Maybe. But I still have to do something, right? In the future, people can’t mention the Regent Princess and only know her as Xie Yan’s wife? What’s the difference between a life without pursuit and salted fish?”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xie Yan raised his eyebrows and said: "Salted fish?"
Luo Junyao waved her hand, "This is not important, I want to restore Anlan Academy to its former glory and bring it to a higher level!" At this point, she looked at Xie Yan hesitantly, "You...don't want women to be the same?"
Stay in your boudoir?"
Xie Yan mentioned this issue last time, but it would be better to confirm it again. Otherwise, it would be bad for her to have a fire in the backyard while she is working on her career with high spirits.
Xie Yan smiled and said: "What if I am?"
Luo Junyao said quietly: "Are you serious? You can't change?"
"Yeah." Xie Yan nodded.
"Then... let's get together and relax?"
Xie Yan's eyes darkened, and he took her into his arms, looking at her with an evil look, "How about we get together and go away?"
Luo Junyao was slightly panicked, "This...it's your fault, you were the one who provoked me first!"
Xie Yan said: "So, you just tell me that we can get together and part ways?"
Luo Junyao said: "This...that thing, as the saying goes, people with different paths will not work together."
Xie Yan lowered his head and kissed her hard, and then let go after a while. The woman in his arms was already out of breath.
"..." This lung capacity is really good.
"Do you want to have a good time together?" Xie Yan asked, staring at her.
Luo Jun shook his head repeatedly and stopped talking.
Seeing her watery and pitiful look, Xie Yan felt distressed and a little amused at the same time, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Luo Junyao raised his hand to poke his shoulder and whispered: "You can't blame me entirely. Who told you to say this? I am discussing this issue with you very seriously. Those old scholars now clearly think so.
, I naturally have to communicate clearly with you in advance. If you come back against my position, wouldn't it be very troublesome?"
Xie Yan was a little helpless and sighed: "You heartless girl."
Luo Junyao felt a little guilty. If she really broke up with Xie Yan because of this, she would still be a little sad.
"Then... I didn't hide it from you. I told you what I was going to do. If you didn't object, I would treat it as your agreement." Luo Junyao said, "You can't stand on the side of the Queen Mother and those old antiques to oppose me in the future."
Xie Yan looked at her and shook his head helplessly, "I believe now that you really can't be a person like Bai Jingrong."
It's not that she is not as smart and capable as Bai Jingrong, but they are two completely different people from personality to ideas. If Bai Jingrong encountered the same problem, he would not speak out directly like she did.
Helplessly stroking her cheeks which were slightly red due to lack of oxygen, Xie Yan said: "Are you smart or stupid?"
Luo Junyao rolled his eyes, raised his hand and swatted his hand away, "Of course I am the smartest."
Xie Yan smiled and nodded: "Yes, Yao Yao is the smartest." Bai Jingrong's trick didn't work with him, but he was helpless with her, which showed that she was indeed very smart, at least she knew how to deal with him.
Luo Junyao smiled like a flower, hooked his shoulder with one hand, leaned forward and kissed him on the face: "When I make money, I will give it to you, so that you can do a lot of things you want to do."
Xie Yan was startled and lowered his head to look at her. He saw those pure eyes with a smile that seemed to have no impurities.
After a while, he chuckled softly, lowered his head and leaned his forehead against hers and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for the money."
Although Xie Yan expressed no objection, Luo Junyao still explained his plan and future vision to him seriously, and said that he would come up with a complete plan to him as soon as possible to win the sincere support of His Highness the Regent, and
It's not because of her.
Xie Yan originally thought that Luo Junyao was just acting on a whim, or that he wanted to run some industries on his own. After all, although the regent princess has a noble status, she would not be truly recognized and respected by people if she was just a pampered princess who only knew how to have fun. Part 1
The ladies of Yong are keen on holding various banquets, and it is not inappropriate for a woman who wants to run some industries and do some good deeds to help poor people.
After listening to Luo Junyao's explanation, he realized that what this little girl wanted to do was not that simple.
She was not joking, just as she said, restore the former glory of Anlan Academy and the status and power of women in the past, and even take it to a higher level.
Xie Yan did not pour cold water on her, but told her seriously that he would wait for her plan.
Having a goal gave her motivation, and Luo Junyao left the city early the next morning and went to Anlan Academy. Of course, she was not just looking for other people to discuss the matter, but she wanted Zhang Jingyu's help with something.
Although Luo Junyao had not stayed at Anlan Academy for a few days, she still had some special feelings for this place because of Xie Anlan. When she arrived, the girls from the martial arts academy were taking a riding class in the martial arts field behind, so she
Standing on the sidelines watching.
Zhang Jingyu asked the girls to practice on their own, and asked the people next to them to take care of them, before quickly walking to the sidelines.
"Meet the Princess Regent."
Luo Junyao quickly supported her and said, "Mr. Zhang, I'm not used to you being so polite." Zhang Jingyu looked at her with a smile and said, "You are the regent princess now, so the courtesy cannot be discarded."
Luo Jun waved his hand and said: "This is the academy, and sir, you will be my teacher. Forget all these red tapes. If you are so polite, how can I have the nerve to speak."
Zhang Jingyu raised his eyebrows with interest, "So, the princess doesn't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing? Does she want to see me for anything?"
Luo Junyao was a little embarrassed and nodded: "I do have a small matter that I want to bother you with, sir."
"Tell me about it." Zhang Jingyu said leisurely.
Luo Junyao said: "I would like to borrow a batch of books collected by the academy. In addition... Sir, I know a lot of people. It would be better if you could introduce me to a few teachers."
Zhang Jingyu was a little surprised, but he didn't expect her to say this, and asked: "What book do you want? What teacher?"
Luo Junyao said: "I want all the books in the D-shaped section of the library." Seeing what Zhang Jingyu was going to say, she quickly said: "I swear I will return it! Or let me make a copy, and I promise to return all the originals within three months.
?”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Jingyu smiled and said: "The D-shaped section is full of miscellaneous books that no one has read for a long time. It is not impossible to borrow them from you, but you have to ask the mountain chief for approval. You
What kind of teacher are you looking for?"
Seeing something going on, Luo Junyao's eyes lit up and he said, "I want to be proficient in nine numbers, women's sex, business, law, farming, and even scientific examinations, etc.!"
Zhang Jingyu was silent for a moment, looking at Luo Junyao with a somewhat meaningful look.
Luo Junyao looked at her innocently, "Sir, did I say something wrong?"
After a while, Zhang Jingyu shook his head and said: "No, these people are not easy to find. Since you said you want to find a teacher, do you also want to open an academy to compete with Anlan Academy?"
Luo Junyao quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, I'm not interested in teaching and educating people. As long as the husband is willing to teach a few students, it doesn't matter whether he is a man or a woman. Of course... it would be better if it is a woman." The concept of men and women not being intimate with each other is quite annoying. If
Let's get a few male gentlemen back, let alone whether they would be willing to teach. She doubted how many would be willing to learn.
Zhang Jingyu laughed, turned around and walked outside.
Luo Junyao quickly followed, "Sir, please help me."
Zhang Jingyu glanced sideways at her and said: "Originally, I thought you were the one who liked to make nonsense in the Martial Arts Academy, but I didn't expect that you would have more ideas after getting married. Is this your intention or the regent's intention?"
Luo Junyao said: "Of course it's me. How can he have time to take care of this when he is so busy?"
"The Prince Regent has no objection?"
"Why object?"
Zhang Jingyu said: "I can help you find the person you want, and I can also help you tell the mountain chief about the book. But you also have to help me do something."
"Sir, tell me." Luo Junyao said.
Zhang Jingyu sighed and said: "The Queen Mother wants to cancel the Martial Arts Academy next year, do you know?"
Luo Jun shook his head, "Teacher, you want me to stop the Queen Mother?" This naturally did not conflict with her original plan, she was going to stop her.
Zhang Jingyu said: "I hope you will serve as the dean of the martial arts academy."
"..." Luo Junyao didn't speak for a while, and then he came back to his senses after a while and said: "Sir, I don't want to teach." Does she seem to like teaching and educating people? If she is so good as a teacher, why would she find a teacher? She can go to school by herself
That’s it.
Zhang Jingyu glanced at her angrily and said, "No one wants you to teach, and I'm afraid you'll mislead others."
"What does that mean?" Luo Junyao asked.
Zhang Jingyu said: "Just put a name on it. With the title of Princess Regent, the Martial Arts Academy may not be annihilated so quickly."
Luo Junyao thought for a moment and said, "Sir, I don't think your idea can solve the problem."
"oh?"
Luo Junyao said: "The decline of the martial arts academy and even other academies is ultimately because there is no future. After the girls from the Linglong Academy complete their studies, they will become the standard wives of famous families recognized by the rich and powerful. What can the girls from the martial arts academy do after they learn it? Even if they want to
If they go to be detectives or soldiers, no one wants them."
Zhang Jingyu raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you have in mind?"
Luo Junyao said: "So, we have to solve the problem of the student's future first. If there is a future in the martial arts academy, someone will naturally come."
Zhang Jingyu sneered, "Then do you have a way to get the court not to restrain women?" The reason why Anlan Academy in the previous dynasty was relatively lenient towards women was that the court was relatively lenient towards women. Women could start their own households, go out in public and do business, sit in hospitals, and be female officials.
You can go to the battlefield, you can become a famous poet and painter like a man, can you do it now in Dasheng?
Luo Junyao is right, it is natural that almost only Linglong Academy is left in Anlan Academy, because the others are no longer needed.
Luo Jun said: "You can try it."
"You are not ashamed of your words." Zhang Jingyu said angrily, "Little girl, don't act out of passion. These things are not as simple as you think. Some... even the regent can't do anything about it. Nowadays, the government and the public are not at peace. Don't do anything to the regent.
The king is causing trouble.”
Restrictions on women have gradually emerged since the late Tang Dynasty. Emperor Gaozu and the late Emperor themselves had no intention of restoring the ancient etiquette system, but they still gradually developed to the point where they are now. Why?
Luo Jun said: "Does Mr. Zhang know Bai Jingrong?"
Zhang Jingyu frowned slightly and said, "I don't know her. I heard that she came to Shangyong before, but I was still young at that time."
Luo Junyao said: "Sir, look, Mrs. Rong is still working hard after all these years. Is this a positive goal? Shouldn't you support me and say some words of encouragement?"
Zhang Jingyu smiled and said: "I'm afraid in the eyes of those old scholars, you are even more rebellious than Bai Jingrong."
"How could it be?" Luo Jun said, she is a good person.
Zhang Jingyu said: "Bai Jingrong only wants to gain power by herself. Even if those people can't fight her, if she succeeds, it will disappear when she dies. But you want to encourage other women to compete with men for power, you say
Who do they hate more?"
Luo Jun asked: "Is it so serious?"
Zhang Jingyu smiled and said: "There have been many treacherous concubines and demon queens in the past dynasties, but do you know who those old scholars hate the most?"
"who is that?"
"Thank you Anlan."
Luo Junyao said: "But Anlan Academy has still been circulated for so many years. They have only been able to do so in a subtle way over the years, which shows that not everyone supports their ideas."
Zhang Jingyu said: "The reason why Anlan Academy can last so long is that King Rui and Princess Rui of Dongling were in power for a long time, and the next two generations of monarchs expressed their support for Anlan Academy for seventy or eighty years. As time goes by, the tree will naturally grow big and have deep roots.
It’s hard to move. But as long as there is a chance, they are still unwilling to let it go, such as now. If the regent supports you, you may be able to make some changes, but how long can the regent stay in power? How can you ensure the next generation?
Will the next generation continue to go back? It doesn’t mean that if you change now, you will be successful. If no one persists, you will only return to the present."
Luo Jun said: "Then do nothing?"
The reason why women's status is declining is actually more due to today's insufficient productivity. In the era of heavy manual labor, women objectively cannot survive completely without men. Once the attitude of the superiors changes, the situation will deteriorate sharply.
But this will progress, so even reincarnation will not last forever.
Zhang Jingyu was silent for a while, then chuckled and said: "You are right, you can try it. After all, you are also the regent princess."
"Then...sir, will you help me?"
Zhang Jingyu asked: "What about what I just said?"
Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Deal!" It doesn't matter if you put your name on it.
Zhang Jingyu said: "Okay, let me go to see the mountain chief first."
Luo Junyao followed Zhang Jingyu enthusiastically to meet the headmaster of Anlan Academy. As he walked out, Zhang Jingyu said: "Actually, if the Queen Mother is in good health, you can ask the Queen Mother for help, and she will definitely help you."
Luo Junyao felt a little sad, "How can the Empress Dowager worry about these things now?"
Zhang Jingyu could only sigh when he thought of the Queen Mother's physical condition. Even if she went to the palace to visit the Queen Mother before, didn't she dare not disturb the Queen Mother with this matter?
It was never the Queen Mother alone who wanted to abolish the Martial Arts Academy, but a group of people she represented.
Even if the Empress Dowager personally issued an order to stop it, if the Empress Dowager had made up her mind to prevent the martial arts academy from opening, there are many ways to circumvent the Empress Dowager's decree, so why bother the old man anymore?
