"The Su family can become a rich man in the future. If the children of the family want to enter the court, they must go through step-by-step considerations. I told Brother Su in advance that even a commoner can pass the assessment and enter the court.
Under my rule, everyone is equal! Officials who break the law are as guilty as the common people!"
Su Shuang was not as shocked as he had been in the past two days in his life. Jia Rong gave him the feeling that a madman was talking nonsense, but the future described by this madman was so natural. Su Shuang had studied poetry and books since he was a child, and he was by no means better than
How bad are the children of those aristocratic families? Many mediocre people have become governors and county magistrates, but he can only become a businessman that everyone looks down upon.
What Jia Rong said about everyone's equality was what attracted him the most. Su Shuang didn't have any good impressions of aristocratic families. His father and grandfather were both ordinary people, but after hard work, they became richer than ordinary people.
, living at the bottom of the Han hierarchy, the good looks the officials give them are also looking at the money in their hands.
At this moment, Su Shuang felt that he had found a soulmate. What he had been pursuing was to have the same opportunity to become an official of the Han Dynasty like the children of the aristocratic family, and Jia Rong could help him realize this wish.
Jia Rong said calmly: "I have said everything that needs to be said, and it is time for Brother Su to make a choice!"
Time passed by second by second, and Jia Rong kept looking at Su Shuang quietly.
Su Shuang's expression kept changing, and he was struggling hard in his heart. On the one hand, the treatment Jia Rong gave to the Su family was too ordinary, and no one wanted their family to receive good treatment; on the other hand,
Jia Rong's statement that everyone is equal has a great appeal to him. Just like when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang raised their arms and shouted, "Princes, princes, generals, and their ministers should have the right kind," and followers gathered together, no one did not yearn for an equal world.
A world of absolute equality may only go to the Peach Blossom Spring. Even if there is equality, it is only relative equality. I don't think Su Shuang will understand this.
After a long time, Su Shuang bowed at Jia Rong's feet calmly and said in a sincere tone: "Su Shuang pays homage to the lord!" At this moment, Su Shuang put aside the interests of his family because he wanted to live in an equal world.
inside.\\..\\
In the Han Dynasty, where there were many aristocratic families, Jia Rong was willing to abandon Jia Rong's interests and fight for his ideals. This alone made Jia Rong admire him with admiration.
After Jia Rong enjoyed this feeling for a moment, he helped Su Shuang up and said with a smile: "Brother Su, there is no need to be so polite. From now on, you and I can treat each other as brothers."
It has to be said that Jia Rong's move of calling him brothers made his subordinates have a higher sense of belonging. Even though these subordinates still looked respectful when they saw him, when Jia Rong called them brothers, the joy in his heart was incomparable. This
It is also their capital to show off in front of their peers.
Su Shuang declined and said: "My lord, you cannot do this, and the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers cannot be abolished!"
Jia Rong smiled and said, "You can do whatever you want from now on. Anyway, I just need to call you Brother Su!"
Su Shuang respectfully promised, but his heart was filled with waves.
Jia Rong was puzzled, how could such a rough man become so reserved when he became a subordinate? In fact, Jia Rong felt that it was good to bargain with Su Shuang, and it could broaden his mind, otherwise Jia Rong would not have fought so hard.
Create soap to attract Su Shuang.
The courtesy of a monarch and his subjects was complete, and there was no bargaining situation when talking. Jia Rong opened the door and led Su Shuang out. Jia Rong felt that the weather was so good and everything was so beautiful.
With such a relationship, it became much smoother for the two to negotiate the price. Jia Rong made it clear that he did not need the full support of the Su family, but only needed to take care of him in the early stage. Even if he needed money, he would definitely pay it back afterwards.
Jia Rong's reason was very simple. He couldn't take advantage of his subordinates. In fact, Jia Rong didn't want to owe the Su family too much favor. Su Shuang also agreed to this.
"Lord, what is the name of this thing?"
Jia Rong scratched his head and said with a smile: "We haven't chosen a name yet. Brother Su, if you have any opinions, feel free to speak out."
Su Shuang said seriously: "Such a sacred object naturally has to be given a louder name. The master gave his subordinate a small piece yesterday. The portion was a bit too small, and the workmanship was not very exquisite..."
After Jia Rong thought for a while, he said: "In my opinion, it is better to call it Xianlian. After all, it was passed down by the immortals."
After hearing this, Su Shuang thought for a moment and agreed. Xianlian means that the gods will be nostalgic after using it. This name may be very vulgar in later generations, but in the Han Dynasty where there were no small advertisements, this name
Enough to catch anyone's eye.
As for the weight, Jia Rong plans to have a smaller weight than later soaps. These are easier to make money. This is the only one with no semicolon. Anyway, after this thing is put on the market, it will be the upper class who consume it. Where does their money come from, and how many upright officials are there?
Jia Rong doesn't know, but what is certain is that most people's money comes from dirty sources. In this case, he doesn't mind ripping them off.
"The craftsman's workshop in Lingzhou City is really too small. I have to trouble Brother Su to build a bigger one." Jia Rong does not plan to place the soap production location elsewhere. He wants people from Lingzhou and Beidi County to
To become rich, it is not enough to just develop agriculture.
Su Shuang bowed and said, "No!"
The subordinates will also take care of the things the lord needs, but the lord must buy more insignificant things when buying the items he needs to avoid imitation by interested people."
The two looked at each other, Jia Rong just smiled faintly, but Su Shuang already understood what he meant.
The next day, a notice in Lingzhou City made the people of Lingzhou cheer.
Naturally, the notice was about recruiting craftsmen to build houses. What made the people happy was that there were a few people who still needed help. The craftsmen were paid twenty dollars a day, and the people who helped were ten dollars, and food was included. You could go to the county government office to sign up from that day.
First come, first served, until filled.
Counties in Beidi County have long heard that Jia Rong once built a craftsman's workshop in the county town. The craftsmen were all paid, which made them envious. Now this good thing has happened to them. What's even more gratifying is that the wages are better than those in the county.
There is a lot of time in the county, and ordinary people can also come in handy, which makes these people who are idle at home very happy. Who doesn't want to make more money to support the family? I have never seen anyone who would find it too much money.
Jia Rong became a hands-off shopkeeper, but suffered a lot from Zhang Li, Li Shang and other officials.
Stimulated by money, all the craftsmen and common people are very passionate about their work. Soon, a craftsman's workshop no less than that of the county town will rise from the ground. In order to make the craftsman's workshop rise faster, as long as you sign up
All common people with acceptable physiques were hired, and people from nearby counties and villages came not far away.
At the same time, the blacksmith workshops in Lingzhou City were also very busy. All the blacksmiths did not forge iron, but worked together to make soap. It was obvious that their effort was higher than that of forging iron. The value of this thing was Blacksmith Liu.
You know, after he told them, these blacksmiths worked harder. In just three days, the materials purchased in Lingzhou City were replaced by boxes after boxes of soap.
A piece of soap was taken out from the mold, a small square piece, with the word "Xianlian" carved in the middle of the soap. The soap was placed in a wooden box prepared in advance. The soap was not as crystal clear as those made in later generations.
, but it also opened the eyes of all the blacksmiths and amazed them.
The demand for wooden boxes has increased, which has naturally promoted the development of Lingzhou in a small way. With so many wooden boxes, Lingzhou cannot produce them at the same time. They can order them from carpenters in the city. In this way, ordinary people can also make money.
to pocket money.
After such a long time, all the blacksmiths here are trustworthy. Not only is Liu Blacksmith responsible for statistics on their food, clothing, housing and transportation, there are also dedicated soldiers to conduct follow-up investigations. After the new blacksmith workshop is built, Jia Rong will also take care of their family members.
Received and stayed together.
Compared with Lingzhou's craftsmen's workshops, although the county's craftsmen's workshops were large, they were very deserted. Since Yuan Pang took office, he also wanted to work hard to form his own army. Unexpectedly, no one came after so long after the recruitment order was posted.
Apply.
The guards around Yuan Pang quietly told him that when Jia Rong was in Beidi County, people rushed to join the army but Jia Rong refused to accept them, which made Yuan Pang even more angry. Beidi County was short of food. Although Yuan Pang had the support of the Yuan family,
He also wanted to show off, so he levied excessive taxes and made the people complain. Compared with Yuan Pang's bad deeds, the people remembered Jia Rong's good deeds.
A good governor may be easily forgotten by the people, but once a bad governor comes, the good governor's value will naturally rise.
With the concerted efforts of Yuan Pang and the four major families in Beidi County, Yuan Pang finally formed an army of about 5,000 people. The personnel were mixed, including young and old. They spent the whole day in Beidi County.
When practicing on the school field, most of the weapons are items that have been eliminated on the battlefield.
The momentum was greater than when Jia Rong was in Beidi County, but these soldiers shouted loudly, which was not the case in practice. They were soft and weak, and every move was powerless.
These soldiers were fed by their families and lived in the school grounds at night.
In fact, Yuan Pang was quite aggrieved. When he took office in Beidi County, what was left to him was an empty city without soldiers. No one responded to the conscription. What is even more sad is that the magistrates of the other five counties are also from Jia Rong.
Once the order was conveyed, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. In this way, he, the prefect, was actually a county magistrate.
Yuan Pang tried several times to rectify the current situation in Beidi County, but he had no choice. The court did not send anyone over, so he could only temporarily let these county magistrates wander around for a few days.
Compared with Yuan Pang's petty quarrel, the big man once again ignited a war, and the main reason was actually because of the little butterfly Jia Rong.
Jia Rong's "water can carry a boat and capsize it" quickly spread throughout the Han Dynasty. Combined with the magic lantern that suddenly appeared over Luoyang City on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, thieves from all over the country started to cause chaos, causing chaos in Xishan at dusk.
The Han Dynasty once again fell into constant counter-rebellion, and the officials that Beidi County lacked were forgotten in that corner.
"Water can carry a boat but it can also overturn it." Jia Rong explained it very thoroughly at the beginning. Everyone from the nobles to the common people could understand the meaning of this sentence.
