Wen Xiaotu printed a lot of documents, mainly the products of the two industrial revolutions, and they were specially converted into traditional Chinese characters, and they were also arranged vertically! How considerate of me!
Seeing this, Emperor Mingzhao immediately came back from his indulgence in the affair between men and women, and scanned these seemingly strange things with burning eyes, "Why are these... articles all from left to right?"
Wen Xiaotu sweated. He really forgot to convert this!
"This is not important!" Wen Xiaotu said hurriedly, "What is important is the content!"
Ming Zhao sighed: "The content... also has a lot of white words."
Wen Xiaotu is sweating, right? This is all the information she downloaded from the Internet. Although she didn't check it carefully, there shouldn't be a lot of typos, right?
Suddenly, Wen Xiaotu thought of the conversion from traditional to simplified Chinese. The simplified Chinese characters implemented in the modern world are actually many mergers. In other words, one simplified Chinese character may correspond to two or more traditional Chinese characters. For example, "zhou"
", when used as a surname, the traditional and simplified Chinese characters are the same, but if it is a weekend or weekly, if it is changed to traditional Chinese characters, a character must be added.
So, if you can convert Traditional Chinese to Simplified Chinese with one click... the so-called conversion tool is like a little retarded.
Wen Xiaotu couldn't help feeling embarrassed, but there was too much information. She didn't have time to correct each word, so she blushed and said, "Don't worry about these details!"
"And what are these strange little symbols?" The emperor Mingzhao looked puzzled, "Look, it seems to be to distinguish the reading of sentences..."
Wen Xiaotu immediately said proudly: "Yes, these are punctuation marks! This comma, this period, and colons, quotation marks, ellipses..." Wen Xiaotu explained the uses of all punctuation marks one by one, just like
The Chinese teacher is like giving lessons to elementary school students.
Emperor Mingzhao listened very carefully and learned very quickly. Basically, he understood it as soon as Wen Xiaotu described it carefully.
Wen Xiaotu:...I never noticed before that the emperor learns so fast!
Today's emperor Mingzhao is like a studious student. He enthusiastically asked teacher Wen Xiaotu for advice. At the beginning, Wen Xiaotu could easily explain punctuation marks and proper nouns, but later it went into depth with professional theories and literary theory.
Xiaotu started to stumble.
She had neither been very smart nor worked very hard since she was a child. During the college entrance examination, she was admitted to an ordinary public second-tier college by sheer luck. After graduating from college, she basically returned everything she learned in school to her teachers.
Well, she really can’t handle these high school level professional knowledge!
What about steam engines, internal combustion engines, generators, and telephones, telegraphs, and lights? Although they all know what they are, if they want to explain the principles clearly, Wen Xiaotu will stop talking!
"This...that's probably what happened!"
"I really can't remember this!"
"This is not my area of expertise!"
"I'm a liberal arts student. When I studied this, I didn't go too far into it!"
Wen Xiaotu began to admit defeat in a fancy way.
Emperor Mingzhao's expression became increasingly difficult to describe, "Atu... you are really ignorant and incompetent."
Wen Xiaotu: Fuck!! I regret it now! Why did I print so much information for you!
Wen Xiaotu was so angry that he grabbed it directly: "You still dare to dislike me? Believe it or not, I burned all these things?!" - Mom, how easy is it for me to collect these antique materials!!
"No, no, no!" Emperor Mingzhao finally relented, "It's my fault. If Atu doesn't get angry, why don't I apologize to you?"
Wen Xiaotu snorted bitterly, then pointed to the glass manufacturing document and said: "This profit belongs to me! The rest belongs to you!"
Emperor Mingzhao was stunned, "Is Atu still short of money?"
Wen Xiaotu said angrily: "Can't I save some private money?!" - Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs provided funds for Congee's dowry and meals, she, as her biological mother, could not afford not to pay a penny.
Bar?!
Ming Zhao couldn't help but smile, "Okay, I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to run the glass business, and all the money earned will be given to Atu for personal use."
Wen Xiaotu thought to himself: This is not bad!
"And that toilet, please ask the construction department to build it quickly!" - She really missed the flush toilet.
Ming Zhao:……
In short, the spoils-sharing agreement was reached.
Wen Xiaotu is actually not greedy. He only asked for the profit from glass. In fact, adding a flush toilet is not a big deal, but when he thinks that this is a tool for disposing of excrement, well, let him forget it - otherwise, if people know about the Queen's business,
Sanitary ware - well, where can I put my face?!
But glass is different. In this era, glass is so rare that it is even classified as jewelry!
In other words, this is a luxury item!
Since ancient times, luxury goods have been huge profits!
And it’s a monopolized luxury product! Then you can make huge profits as much as you want!
Of course, Wen Xiaotu's heart is not that dark. She just wants to make some private money. She is not a capitalist.
In fact, Wen Xiaotu still has one piece of information that he has not yet produced, which is the technology of freshwater pearl cultivation. This has nothing to do with the national economy and people's livelihood. It is purely another luxury product. Wen Xiaotu plans to wait until glass becomes more popular and becomes worthless, then he will use this.
Come out and transfer some money.
In the following days, the emperor became busy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and sometimes he even stopped sleeping with her for seven or eight days in a row.
Wen Xiaotu enjoyed his leisure time. The Summer Palace was so big, there were so many fun places.
The lotus flowers in Furongpu are in bloom. Let’s go boating with Congee.
The pavilion boat she requested earlier has already been moored on the shore of Furongpo. The sun is sunny today, the breeze is blowing on Furongpo, and the scent of lotus is really refreshing.
The spacious and gorgeous pavilion boat was enough to bring a dozen maids and eunuchs to wait on it. Some were responsible for rowing and acting as coolies, some were responsible for fanning and acting as human-shaped electric fans, and some were responsible for making tea and cutting fruits. The little girl Huai Xu was very happy.
Picking an armful full of half-opened lotus buds, she happily ran to Wen Xiaotu, knelt down and said, "My dear, these lotus buds can last for a long time if you put them in the water!"
Wen Xiaotu took a sip of tea and couldn't help but smile.
Princess Jinshu was quite dignified in front of the palace people. She smiled and said: "When the lotus flowers wither, the lotus seeds in the lotus pods are not yet ripe, so they are the most tender when eaten raw."
Huaixu couldn't help but take a sip of saliva.
Jin Shu swayed a lotus pond fan and smiled like a little fox.
Since Huai Xu followed Wen Xiaotu into the palace, she has also gained weight. Now her face is round and extremely cute, so Jin Shu loves to tease her even more.
The pavilion boat sailed smoothly in Furongpu, ten miles away. The continuous lotus leaves swayed gently in the wind, and the lotus fragrance came in waves.
The wind suddenly picked up and ruffled Wen Xiaotu's temples.
"The wind seems to be a bit strong." Wen Xiaotu murmured, and then hurriedly shouted: "Let's get to the shore!"
But don't let the weather change and let it rain on Furong Po. Although there is a pavilion built on the boat to shelter from wind and rain, it is obviously not enough to shelter everyone.
Jinshu obviously hadn't had enough fun, "Mother, this is only half of Furongpu."
Wen Xiaotu said with a smile: "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. The wind is strong right now. If it causes heavy rain, it won't be worth it."
Jinshu said angrily "Oh", so the pavilion boat stopped moving forward and headed towards the small harbor on the east coast to anchor.
