Coming all the way from Jiangning to the capital, the original plan was to try to do something to prevent possible Jingkang. However, the plan failed to change. After roughly understanding the situation of the Secret Investigation Department, the main body of the originally prepared plan could not be handed over, and the rest of the matter
In other words, it doesn't really matter whether it's some side details or not.
When the Wu Dynasty first came to China, they did not have high hopes for the role that physics and chemistry could play in later generations. Even though stones from other mountains could attack jade, in a world that lacked an industrial foundation, reform was difficult to achieve for a while.
Seeing decisive results, if people develop a mentality of dependence, it will further weaken the fighting spirit of the soldiers. Secondly, the Confucian system seriously taboos reform and technological innovation. This taboo is not expressed in words, but once the reform harms the interests, the rejection
It will come in various ways. After the incident in Hangzhou was over, when Ning Yi thought about what could be done, the first choice in technology was no longer gunpowder, but local steelmaking.
〖China〗 Five thousand years of Chinese culture is extensive and profound. That is to say, but when it comes to technology, such as metallurgy, when the technology develops to a certain level and makes people feel that it is "enough", after a long thousand or even two thousand years,
In the past years, iron smelting technology may have undergone small-scale changes, but there has never been a real technological revolution. And this small-scale technological change may be largely due to the fact that the blacksmiths cherish their brooms. If there is anything powerful about it,
Techniques will inevitably not spread widely, and will eventually be lost in the torrent of time. New craftsmen have no choice but to study new techniques.
Purely in terms of technological innovation, this self-sufficient and fertile land does not have the capacity to learn from its past and adopt new ones. Its imprint is more of being entrenched and complacent. In the final analysis, it is because of the fertility of this land that it has become the leading industry in the West.
Finally, we received a huge slap in the face. If we look from the past to the future, many angry young people in history will say that the technological innovations of the Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty have already had the germination of industrial revolution. In fact, this is just a way to feel good about themselves.
Dream talk. After the ruling pattern and ruling culture of this land have been initially formed, and it develops from scratch a thousand times, it will be difficult for industrial revolution to appear around the 18th and 19th centuries. If it is not the invasion of foreign nations, it must be internal division and division.
Wasteful. A nation without a sense of crisis will not seek change, but will only be afraid of change. Therefore, there will be no change in the 18th century, but it may be possible in the 80th century.
Of course, even for Ning Yi, this was a casual digression in his thinking. But because of this, he had thought about many simple technological innovations that could be implemented in a short time. The first thing that came to mind was indigenous steelmaking.
In the few years at the end of the 1950s, the earthen blast furnaces that were spread all over the land of China did not have many strict and profound technical requirements. That movement was criticized in later generations. After
After a massive waste of more than 11 million tons of steel, only more than 8 million tons could reach the industrial level. But if compared with the steel at that time, even the more than 3 million tons of scrap steel that could not reach the industrial level, many indicators
It must also far exceed the level of Wu Dynasty at this time.
There is no need for high industrial standards here, and we are not afraid of much waste. As long as we can open up an idea and find the appropriate carbon content, we can at least mass-produce it. At this time, the blacksmiths spent half a year and several months to make one.
There is not much problem with using a good sword to arm elite troops. However, since what the Wu Dynasty's army currently lacks is not good swords but military literacy, Ning Yi still handed over the preliminary experiments to Lu Hongti.
On the other hand, although there was no such painful lesson as Dongchang and West Factory, the upper management at this time was cautious about establishing a large-scale espionage system. It can be seen from the constraints that the Secret Investigation Department has received in many matters.
It can be seen that if the situation was not urgent and many royal relatives participated in checks and balances, I am afraid that the Secret Investigation Division would not even have the power to take action. Therefore, the plan to develop a large-scale public opinion guidance system based on Zhuji has been developed from scratch.
It's impossible to get support in the first place.
First of all, the upper-level people will not understand the significance of mobilizing the lower-level people. On the contrary, this is more like the clues of a cult. Once it is under the name of the Secret Investigation Department, the expansion of this system will also lead to the inability of the Secret Investigation Department.
For these reasons, Ning Yi decided to go it alone. This time, the matters related to the cloth were still secondary. Even if he did not intervene, Tan'er would have enough ability to push everything forward after he came. Ning Yi really
What you need to do is to think enough about Zhuji before leaving.
This time when they went north, Yunzhu and Jin'er did not bring any accompanying persons with them. Because the first batch of personnel training was still in Jiangning at this time. This was something they had been preparing for since returning to Jiangning from Hangzhou, similar to that of later generations.
On-the-job training is enough to train professionals who are ready to be used in two or three months. When Yunzhu and Jin'er settle down here, a month or two later, the first batch of new and old people will
Half of the employees will arrive in the capital and start preparing to participate in the work of the new store.
And even after that, training on literacy, work skills, corporate culture, etc. will not end. A strong enough evaluation, promotion, and mutual supervision mechanism will be developed to make everything possible even without bosses like Yunzhu and Jin'er.
Care and participation can be carried out as usual. As for the basic structure of these things, you can start to build prototypes at this time. On the other hand, if you want to prepare these things for localization, you naturally have to start referring to what is happening in the capital at this time.
Various restaurants and brothels.
These things are stuffed in my mind. Although Ning Yi seems to be leisurely during the day, he can chat with Cheng Zhouhai and others all day long. He also proposed to Qin Shaoyu a plan to visit a store every day starting from tomorrow. For the year of Yaozu, Cheng
Zhou Hai and others casually mentioned the invitation to go with them. In fact, many things were still spinning in his mind. He perfected the idea from the words of knowledgeable people such as Yao Zunian and Cheng Zhouhai. When he went back in the evening, he had to put together some ideas.
Written out as the articles of association of a modern company, analyze what can be used, what needs to be changed, and what should simply be deleted. In a sense, it is like returning to the feeling when starting a business. Of course, it would be cumbersome to do it again.
Although there are many things to do, everything is finally much more familiar.
That afternoon, Qin Siyuan and Monk Jueming returned to the mansion, but they told Ning Yi about Zhou Pei. In the past few days, the little princess had been busy with various visits, and it was said that she was preparing to meet the Queen Mother, so she had no time to come over.
Ning Yi met Qin Siyuan twice. He asked Qin Siyuan where Ning Yi lived earlier. This time he asked Qin Siyuan to ask for help. Two days later, there was a grand meeting at the Qingyang County Lord's Mansion, and he was asked if he would go and see it.
.
"Lord of Qingyang County? Who is that?" Ning Yi didn't know the name.
"One of the most famous talented women in Bianliang, the daughter of Prince Tan. After she got married, her husband Liu Qingzhou was also good at poetry and prose. The couple respected each other as guests and often made friends with literature at home. Over time, the wood garden in her home became
It has become one of the most famous cultural gathering places, and those who used to do so were all talented and learned. If Li Heng is interested, you might as well go and have a look." Qin Siyuan explained with a smile. Then the monk Jueming next to him also added with a smile.
After a few words, it turned out that the Lord of Qingyang County was his cousin, and Liu Qingzhou was also familiar with him.
"If you are interested, you can go there with the poor monk the day after tomorrow."
"I'm afraid I don't have time..." Ning Yi thought for a while. He thought he was not interested in this kind of poetry and poetry gathering. Especially recently, he had prepared many poems to use at Zhuji's branch and was too lazy to waste them:
"But how is Xiaopei doing lately?"
"It only took two or three days to convince many people." Qin Siyuan laughed. "I heard that yesterday afternoon, the senior scholar in Prince Chong's mansion strictly ordered the high school entrance examination. Zhou Pei's answers were fluent, which amazed everyone. Even the poems were somewhat ingenious, which is why everyone
My favorite. Although it may be a special arrangement by the prince, I think someone should be tempted to propose marriage in these two days, haha."
Speaking of this, Qin Siyuan smiled happily. Zhou Pei is beautiful. No one can deny that she is a beautiful woman. With her extraordinary knowledge, she is also a talented woman. With her status in the family, who doesn't want to be ranked high? Poetry
Her literary talent showed that this woman's character was not out of the ordinary, and she was a good candidate for a wife. Zhou Pei was coming to the capital this time, and Kang Xian's goal was to find her a suitable talent as a partner.
I must have informed Qin Siyuan and Chong Wang Zhou Ji about this matter, asking them to help keep an eye on it, so that Zhou Pei would not have too much fun and lose the sense of urgency.
"So, the Qingyang County Master's poetry meeting also wants her to have more choices, right?"
Ning Yi said his thoughts with a smile, and Qin Siyuan nodded: "Little girl, I have nothing to reject recently. In addition to Qingyang County Lord, I am afraid there are a lot of poetry gatherings that cannot be rejected. Li Heng, you can also be considered her.
As a teacher, it’s your duty to keep a check on her.”
"I still recognize Jun Wu. Mr. Qin, tell me about Zhou Pei. This girl is weird. I just taught her some arithmetic. She kept quarreling with me all day long, and she even thought that I had brought her brother down.
I'm about the same age as her, so I won't be involved in the marriage, so as not to hate me forever in the future... I would say, it's better for the elderly to take care of these things."
"Once you are a teacher, you are always a father. There is no age. Zhou Pei has always admired you, Li Heng." Qin Siyuan smiled and waved his hand, "Besides, I have so many things to do every day, haha, how can I have time to attend to these procrastinating things?"
It's a junior matter. If the monk is free then, please help take care of it."
After all, it was a trivial matter, and Qin Siyuan did not say much more about Qingyang County Lord’s poetry meeting. Of course, those present would not know that Zhou Pei had already spread the word about the most talented master in Jiangning among a group of friends in the capital.
It was amazing. Although it was a bit understated when I told Qin Siyuan, I was actually worried about whether Master would go over and support her with poetry.
Naturally, Ning Yi, who still had a lot of things to do, had no more time to waste on boring poetry meetings. After leaving the Qin Mansion, it was already dusk again, and when he returned to the Wenhui Building, he noticed the faces of Yunzhu and others.
There was something wrong with his expression, and his mood seemed a little low. Jin'er didn't have the cold but still energetic look on his face like that in the morning, but his face was gloomy, and when he saw him, he walked away as if he had no energy.
, asked Xiaochan what happened, she just said that everyone was tired from shopping in the afternoon, and then showed a happy smile.
Xiaochan couldn't hide her emotions from Ning Yi. After dinner in the evening, Ning Yi called Su Wenyu over and asked about what happened when everyone went out during the day. Su Wenyu didn't dare to hide it from him, so he told what he saw.
.
It was still in the morning, Ning Yi went to Qin Mansion, while Yunzhu and others still had to go out to buy things. Their family members followed them all the way. When they passed by the street they passed yesterday, they saw a body.
It looked like the government was handling a case and fished a body out of the river in a sack. The mouth of the sack was already loose, and there was even blood flowing after it was fished out. It was obvious that the person in the bag had died not long ago.
It was the body of a naked woman. Many people gathered around to look at it. It is said that the time for dumping the body was before dawn.
Walking on the street and seeing a female corpse from a murder case was not a reason to feel depressed all day long, but from Su Wenyu's hesitant tone, Ning Yi roughly understood that the corpse was
In the bag, there were still some broken pieces, headscarves and other things. The appearance of the body was also intact. The person who dumped the body did not care whether the family members would identify the body. Su Wenyu looked at it and thought to himself, this woman is very...
For example, the woman whom Gao Yanei stopped and molested in the alley yesterday, although she could only see her from a distance, at least she had a general idea of the shape of her face and the color of her headscarf.
"Although Miss Nie, Miss Yuan and Xiaochan didn't say anything at the time, I guess they guessed the same way..." Su Wenyu frowned, "The woman... suffered a lot of abuse and torture before she died. Her...
...She even had a stick inserted there, but we didn't look at it much. Later, not long after noon...we came back..."
Ning Yi opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything. He rubbed his mouth and was silent for a long time. Thinking of what Cheng Zhouhai and others said when he went to Qin Mansion in the morning, he probably understood. After Qin Shaoyu returns, he will encounter
Gao Muen's matter was told to Yao Zunian and others. Yao Zunian, Ji Kun, Cheng Zhouhai and others probably also conducted an investigation through the Secret Investigation Department. If the order was given at night, the first information would be available the next morning
I'm afraid he can come back. Cheng Zhouhai scolded the Taiwei Mansion for being lawless and came here to target that woman. The Secret Investigation Department...may have been able to find out the matter when the body was dumped in the Taiwei Mansion. There is another possibility.
The Secret Investigation Department might have found out about this when the Taiwei Mansion took action that night, but this was meaningless. Even if it was found out, the Secret Investigation Department couldn't get involved. This situation is probably the most frustrating.
In this sense, it is correct to put the system that does not focus on public opinion propaganda into the Secret Investigation Division.
On top of this, Ning Yi can even extend a part. With Gao Muen's character, he should not take that woman to heart. Taiwei Gao Qiu doesn't care about his son playing with women, but he must add an insurance to avoid
He touched people he shouldn't touch, and the insurance should be those people who were placed around him. When he was in the alley, Lu Qian stopped Gao Yanei from blocking people in the street, but when he returned home, Gao Yanei's temper
He couldn't stand it if it happened to him. So the one who was really responsible for taking that woman away was Lu Qian. It's not that he couldn't play, it's just that he couldn't play and it would cause problems. This man has sense, ability and means, so it's no wonder that he can take Lin Chong away.
It was so miserable.
He sat there thinking about these things. Su Wenyu sat aside, not daring to breathe, because suddenly, the second brother-in-law in front of him seemed to suddenly become very gloomy. But after a while, the gloominess dissipated, and Ning Yi would
He looked over and said, "Speaking of which, you accompanied Jin'er there, showing your courtesy and so on... uh, did you two chat?"
Unexpectedly, Ning Yi suddenly mentioned this, Su Wenyu was stunned for a long time: "This... because that thing happened, and Miss Yuan seemed to be in no mood to speak... She, she felt like she was avoiding me, but maybe...
"
"Okay, let's not talk about this. They feel a little uncomfortable because of this, and you already know that."
"Um."
"Then what are you waiting for? Jin'er is not in a good mood. Go and comfort her."
"Uh...but..."
"Seize the opportunity, there are no buts. If there is no topic, just find a topic. If she doesn't comfort you, just comfort her." Ning Yi patted him on the shoulder. "That's what picking up girls is like. Don't be so face-saving. Just listen to me."
"……oh."
Su Wenyu hesitated to speak, his expression was a little hesitant, but he finally passed it. Ning Yi sat there and thought about it, in fact, Yunzhu or Jin'er, it is not that he has never seen people in the dark society, even Jinfenglou
In such a brothel, there are not many dead women who are secretly carried out every year. If something like this happens before your eyes, even Ning Yi will not feel happy. There will always be a feeling of being held back by something in his heart.
But to say that if you see such a thing, you have to do justice for heaven, even in the Taiwei Mansion. Ning Yi thinks that he does not have the ability for the time being. Naturally, Yunzhu and Jin'er will not have such expectations. More
, I’m afraid it’s because the woman here was also targeted after she was targeted yesterday, so it’s inevitable to feel a bit of fear and pain that extends to others.
This feeling is very bad, but Ning Yi thought about it and didn't know how to comfort him. If he was as powerful as Lu Hongti, he might be able to kill Lu Qian and Gao Yanei tonight and take off Gao Qiu's penis.
Human heads, it’s a pity that we can only think about such things for the time being.
It would be nice if there was a chance that Gao Qiu could be crushed to death in a political struggle... He curled his lips and thought about it for a while. Then he went into the courtyard behind the inn and prepared to chat with Yunzhu, but Yunzhu was not found in the courtyard.
, and then met Su Wenyu again, but Dao Jiner was not found either.
"Maybe I went for a walk nearby. Let's take a look around."
This Wenhui Building occupies a large area. The courtyard at the rear is reserved for people with status. It is also equipped with a pond and garden. Ning Yi walked all the way to the garden and saw a woman sitting at a round table in the garden in front of her.
Sitting with her chin up, she didn't know what she was thinking in the orange light shed by the lantern. This slightly lonely look came from Jin'er, which was really surprising. She had obviously been there when Ning Yi came in.
When she saw him, she was still holding her chin and looking indifferently. Ning Yi originally came in as if he was walking all the way, but now he put his hands behind his back and walked forward, and then... walked around Jin'er's gaze.
A rockery, the direction of travel left.
On the way, I met Su Wenyu again. He exchanged information with Ning Yi excitedly: "I just met Xiaochan and Miss Nie. They went back to their room."
"Jin'er is in the garden, please comfort her."
"Uh, okay..."
Speaking of Jin'er, Su Wenyu was still a little stunned. Ning Yi shook his head and secretly cursed the rookie. Although his experience in picking up girls in his previous life was a bit rough, but now, he must be very powerful. He has a very powerful self.
The guide here is still so timid, it feels a bit like a child who cannot be taught... He returned all the way, and when he went to the courtyard where Yunzhu lived, he was sitting under the eaves and smiled softly at him. It seemed that the problem had been solved.
The questions in my heart are waiting for his arrival.
"I heard Su Wenyu talk about what happened in the morning." Ning Yi put his arm around her shoulders and sat down next to her.
"It's nothing, I just remembered that we also met yesterday, and I was a little scared." Yunzhu smiled reluctantly and rested his head on his shoulder. "Liheng, the woman you said may be the one we met yesterday."
Is it? Although it looks similar...but there’s no way to be sure, right?”
"Yeah, but if it's true, the person who did it was the Marquis of Yu, Lu Qian, who was next to Gao Yanei."
"Um?"
"It was the guy who persuaded Gao Yanei in the alley. As a servant of the Taiwei Mansion, he couldn't let this matter spread too badly, but he was the one who stopped Gao Yanei from doing things and was blamed after he returned, so the best thing is
The method is to arrest people at night..."
Ning Yi's tone was a little light, and he explained the reasoning in a mechanical way. At this time, no matter how much he said to relax, he could not change what had happened. He was Yunzhu's man, so he could use the two of them to do it.
The emotions in Yunzhu's heart temporarily suppressed Yunzhu's thoughts, but in the end it still couldn't stop Yunzhu from thinking about it later, so he simply made the matter a little more mechanized, expanded the involvement of the matter, and made the atmosphere cooler, which might make it more diluted.
Tragic emotion.
He sat there and talked for a long time in a cold tone, who was the mastermind and who was the accomplice, who was the cause and who was the means, who was shameless and who felt innocent. After saying this, he sat for a while hugging the woman next to him.
At the same moment, a scene was happening in the garden not too far away.
Lanterns spread out one after another in the corridor, casting yellow lights. In the garden, the light of fireflies sparsely danced on the water. Beside the stone table, a man and a woman did not know what they were talking about. Su Wenyu stood up and took two steps back.
Stepping forward, she lowered her head and spoke softly. On the other side of the table, the woman held her chin and covered her lips with her fingers. She did not look at Su Wenyu, but her expression looked a little arrogant and her eyes were cold. Such behavior appeared in the always lively Yuan Jin'er.
The expression was not easy, but Su Wenyu, as the person involved, did not feel angry or hurt because of the tears streaming down her high-spirited, arrogant and somewhat cold face.
"What's wrong with Jin'er? She seems to have a problem with me..."
Time passed quietly. After a long time, in the courtyard here, Ning Yi changed the topic.
Yunzhu laughed: "You don't know? Of course I will have objections to you..."
"I didn't do anything..." Ning Yi can probably understand why he is hated, but matchmakers are often misunderstood, which is not surprising. Anyway, in the end, the other party should understand him.
That's enough. He thought so.
After Ning Yi's mumbling, Yunzhu was silent for a moment, then showed a slightly serious look and said to him: "Li Heng, I want to tell you about Jin'er..."
"Um."
Ning Yi nodded. Just as Yunzhu was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Ning Liheng, come out."
The tone was a bit harsh and decisive. When he turned around, Yuan Jin'er, wearing a goose-yellow dress, was standing at the entrance of the courtyard over there, looking over here, as if in a fighting posture, raising her chin proudly.
