The nine hundred and fourth section of the achievements of the Shaofu (3)
Faced with Jingzhu, Kang Kai of course still stiffened his neck and said that it was 'a wasteful thing that is not beneficial to the family and the country'.
But the position has softened.
As a self-proclaimed scholar and intellectual.
Of course Kang Kai would like this kind of candle that burns colorless and odorless and can illuminate the night like day.
Although the price may be a bit more expensive.
But he can buy a house worth tens of millions without blinking an eye.
These hundreds of whale candles can naturally be taken home with your eyes closed.
When Liu She saw this, his heart blossomed with joy.
So, we came up with an improved three-legged columbine and a simplified version of a single-person columbine.
The former requires two people and one animal, but can complete deep plowing and sowing of one hundred acres of land in one day.
It is especially suitable for growing millet and wheat beans in the north.
The latter is an extremely simple simplified version of the columbine.
It reduces many unnecessary designs and optimizes the structure.
So that only one person needs to pull it on the shoulder to complete the sowing work.
This made the onlookers stare intently.
For four years, Shaofu Yamen has been selling various advanced agricultural tools in Guanzhong.
In the past, the curved shaft plow, water wheel and soil fertilizer were highly praised in Guanzhong.
He also cooperated with Da Nong and Neishi Yamen to promote the field farming method.
Therefore, everyone has a very high evaluation of the quality of the things produced by Shaofu Yamen.
It even left the impression in the minds of the people, ‘The Shaofu is the yamen that makes equipment for His Majesty’s camp. Can the quality of the products produced by the Shaofu be bad?’
It already has a brand, and it has the image of a famous brand.
Liu She then asked someone to demonstrate how to use the three-legged columbine and the single-person columbine.
Whether it is the deep plowing and sowing by a three-legged columbine or the manual sowing by a single-person columbine, everyone is stunned.
Kang Kai's eyes widened when he saw it.
Before today, Kang Kai never knew that in this world, farming could still rely on the help of machinery and animal power.
The teachers always only told him: As long as the moral level is improved, the world will naturally be healthy.
But they have always avoided talking about methods other than improving moral standards.
But, now it's in front of him.
He thought of him as a 'treacherous traitor' and a 'traitor'.
What teachers call ‘immoral ministers’.
However, using the "skills" that Kangkai's teachers never talked about, they creatively and solemnly recommended to the world two advanced tools, the three-legged columbine and the single-person columbine, targeting different classes and regions.
This made Kang Kai a little stuck.
He could no longer say the words "This thing is useless to the world, it is extravagant and wasteful".
But Liu She is willing to let him go so easily?
Liu She clapped his hands.
A novel one-wheeled wooden instrument was carried by a craftsman on his shoulders and pushed in front of everyone.
If in the past, the columbine was still an improved instrument based on the old people’s wisdom.
Then this unicycle, or unicycle, is an ancient invention.
"This cart is called a deer cart..." Liu She proudly faced everyone: "Last year in the battle of Mayi, the Shaofu built more than 1,500 deer carts to transport hundreds of grains and grass to Mayi and Yanmen.
Thousands of stones, arrows, and spears are useless!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately roared and started talking.
Last year's Battle of Mayi can be said to be the focus of discussion in the entire world.
It can be said that the Battle of Mayi profoundly changed the world.
This battle not only changed and innovated the way of war, but also let the world know that from now on, cavalry will be king!
It has also brought countless new things to the world.
Among them is the ‘Deer Cart’ which is very hotly discussed in the public opinion.
Legend has it that a deer cart, held by one man, could carry ten stones of grain and travel dozens of miles in a day and night!
However, this magical vehicle has never really revealed its true face in front of people.
Before today, many people thought that the "deer cart" was just a legendary thing.
But now, this thing has gone from legend to reality.
Countless people stared straight at the magical car that was said to have transported millions of stones of grain and grass to the front line in one month, for fear of missing any details.
Then the actual demonstration also proved the magic of this thing.
I saw a big man pushing a "deer cart" filled with corn and walking on the road as fast as the wind.
Countless people suddenly became excited.
In fact, Chang'an has long been a pure commodity economy city.
There are hundreds of thousands of residents living here.
But the vast majority are practitioners in handicrafts and industry and commerce.
The peasant class has, in fact, disappeared from Chang'an City.
The residents of the whole city rely entirely on material supplies from Guanzhong and Guandong for their daily expenses and consumption.
A few decades ago, when the Qin Dynasty fell and the Han Dynasty rose, Guanzhong was still self-sufficient.
But as time went by, Guanzhong, a treasure land known as the Eight Hundred Miles of Qinchuan and the Tianbao of Wuhua, actually began to suffer from dependence on grain.
Starting from Emperor Taizong, one hundred thousand dan of grain had to be transferred from Guandong every year.
Today, this number has climbed to as many as one million stones!
Next year it is expected to reach 1.5 million stone!
Other daily consumables, such as cloth, oil and salt, have long been dependent on supplies from Kanto.
It was against this background that Mr. Shi relied on a track carriage to make money every day.
The bigger change comes from the rise of examinations.
Every summer, tens of thousands of scholars from all over the world gather in Chang'an, and everyone comes with ideals and aspirations.
These people come from all walks of life all over the world.
But in general, they are basically children of middle-class families.
Even the disciples of local big businessmen.
They spend money like water and throw money like rain.
When the big dog owners are in a good mood, they can go to Huajie and Liuxiang and throw away a hundred and eighty gold coins without blinking an eye.
In every exam, there are two levels: success and failure.
Those who pass the exam are excited to become officials to realize their ideals and ambitions.
Those who fail will basically not give up.
I will choose to stay in Chang'an.
Rich people live in mansions, sleep on high beds, wear gold and silver, and go to the prince's house.
The poor and middle-class people live in slums and make a living by copying letters for people or doing other things.
Basically, as long as they are smarter, more clever, and more diligent, scholars will never die of hunger.
At worst, they could also choose to work as diners and aides for the princes in Chang'an City.
He even worked as a bookkeeper for merchants and served as a teacher.
In the worst case scenario, you can also apply to the Shaofu and go to work in Shanglinyuan.
As long as you are willing to lower your head and do things seriously, food and clothing can always be guaranteed.
The examination of scholars has become an important economic hotspot in Chang'an today.
Every summer, before and after the examination is held, it is the best time for business in Chang'an.
At that time, no matter whether you were doing business or not, you could always sell out your goods.
It’s not unheard of for big business owners to directly buy up the products on a street when they are in a good mood...
Even in this 'off season'.
There is also business.
Apart from other things, the more than 10,000 scholars and their followers stranded in Chang'an were a huge market in themselves.
Under such circumstances, the small and medium-sized merchants in Chang'an, especially the traffickers and lackeys, urgently needed a simple, practical and compact carrying tool.
Isn’t the ‘deer cart’ in front of them the ideal tool in their minds?
As a result, countless people swallowed hard.
Some people even started asking: "How much does this car cost?"
"It's not expensive..." Liu She smiled and held out a finger when he heard this: "Each deer cart is sold at the Shaofu, Da Nong and Lord Duwei Yamen for five hundred yuan, so it's a no-brainer!"
"Currently, all the external offices of the Shaofu, the offices of the Da Nong, and the offices of the Lords, Lords, and Lieutenants are all on sale!" Liu She dropped this bombshell.
The crowd immediately exploded.
We are all smart citizens.
There was a little abacus in my heart that was ticking.
Five hundred dollars seems expensive.
It is equivalent to the current price of ten shi of corn.
It is equal to the output of four acres of land in one year!
This is not the case!
Judging from the workmanship of this deer cart, although it is made entirely of wood, it looks cheap.
In fact, this is not the case. Apart from other things, the structure of the wheels and the deer cart requires a capable carpenter to carve it.
It would take a skilled carpenter at least four or five days to build such a deer cart.
Nowadays, skilled carpenters and blacksmiths work every day, and their wages are less than fifty cents, so no one bothers to care about you.
The salary is more than two hundred.
Although this wood is cheap, Chang'an itself does not produce wood.
Therefore, it is necessary to go to the mountain forest outside the city to cut down.
This will take another day of work.
The total cost of cutting and transporting is at least a hundred dollars.
This is three to four hundred dollars.
And whether you hire carpenters to build it or hire people to cut down the wood and transport it, you still have to provide the food yourself.
Added up, the total cost is close to the Shaofu’s quotation!
not to mention……
Produced by Shaofu, it is a must-win product!
The past facts tell everyone that the things sold by Shaofu can still be guaranteed and can be maintained.
From time to time, there will also be a trade-in activity.
As long as you spend half of the original price, you can exchange your old items for brand new ones.
After thinking about it like this, everyone was excited.
With a shout, most of the people dispersed in an instant and ran to various government offices in the city.
This kind of cheap and practical deer cart has never been short of sales.
In case Shaofu cannot keep up with the production speed, it will be sold out.
Who should I cry to?
And those who remain are basically true gossip lovers.
These people all focused their attention on Kang Kai, who was extremely embarrassed at this moment.
Jiu Qing slapped the Taixue student in the face!
Something new and unprecedented!
Maybe it can become an idiom or allusion in the future.
This gives the Gossip Party an extremely strong character.
Will this Taixue student continue to resist to the end and become a laughing stock, or will he admit his mistakes and correct them, and stage a "bow down and bow again, bow down and bow down" scene of admitting his mistakes?
Many people are looking forward to it.
………………………………
Kang Kai was actually extremely embarrassed to death.
If embarrassment could kill.
Now, he can't wait to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it!
Both cheeks just felt hot and painful.
The so-called "extravagant things that are useless to the country" that he had always said so harshly turned out to be a big joke in the face of the facts!
He looked at the fiery glances in the eyes of the people who were watching, and then looked at the members of the Young Mansion who were looking directly at him.
He knew in his heart that if he didn't give an explanation today, the young master would definitely ask him to give an explanation.
He didn't dare to admit his mistake directly.
Because once you admit your mistake, you are admitting your guilt!
What is the crime for attacking Jiu Qing?
At least you have to lose your head!
Even if he was only accused of bumping into Jiu Qing, it would be enough for him to be exiled for three thousand miles and sent to the Great Wall to repair the earth with his son-in-law and the prisoners.
But, besides admitting his mistake, what else can he do?
If he didn't admit his mistake, the young man would be angry and take him to Tingwei Yamen.
According to the principles of Han law, he is dead!
He moved his lips and said in a trembling voice: "This kid is truly guilty and I ask the Ming government to punish him!"
For the first time, he used an honorific title for Liu She.
Now, he could only hope that the young minister would act like a gentleman and not blame him for his mistakes, but instead forgive him generously.
In this way, in accordance with the principle of Han law that "the people do not promote and the officials do not correct", as long as the young man does not accuse him and does not want to punish him, he will be safe.
Liu She is certainly not a gentleman.
But this does not mean that he does not know how to build reputation.
In fact, nobles are the group that know best how to build reputation.
Back then, the Marquis of Huaiyin was humiliated by his crotch. After he became successful and famous, he met his enemies. Wasn't it okay?
Instead, he was given money and encouragement.
Once your level reaches a certain level, if you continue to argue with others, that is not smart, but stupid.
You will be laughed at by everyone in the world!
But Liu She didn't intend to let this person go easily.
If today a Taixue student could shout "Get rid of the sycophants" and rush or even assassinate him.
There's no guarantee that some madman will rush over tomorrow with a knife.
After thinking about it in his mind, Liu She made a decision.
"Please rise..." Liu She helped Kang Kai up with a smile and said: "Since I was appointed as the Young Master, I have determined to assist Your Majesty in serving the kings Yao and Shun, so I have worked hard all day and night to work hard for the Young Mansion, until today!
"
"No matter what..." Liu She wiped away his tears and said with emotion: "It is only the Spring and Autumn Period that you know that I have sinned against you!"
"The sky is long and the earth is clear, how can a close friend exist..."
This acting skill was instantly outstanding.
In just a few words, Liu She aroused the emotions of the crowd and Kang Kai.
It even made Kang Kai feel ashamed.
At this moment, in Kang Kai's mind, the image of Shaofu Liu She had completely changed.
This is not a sycophant at all, but a man and a hero!
For the sake of your father and the world, you are willing to suffer unjust injustice.
He is ambitious and broad-minded.
Gentlemen in ancient times were probably nothing more than this!
Otherwise, why would he be willing to condescend and help himself up?
Thinking of this, Kang Kai even felt that when Liu She collided with him or even tried to harm him, he did not directly beat him to death on the spot, but brought him to the Shaofu workshop to prove himself and clear himself with facts.
This is simply an ancient Zichan, a wise doctor like Yi Yin!
"You are a student of Taixue, the future of the country, and the seed of the country. Although you are despicable, you have always admired literary people..."
"Since you are determined to be a pillar of the country, I am also willing to help you..."
Liu She blinked his eyes and saw: "Now that all the wastes are flourishing in Anton, the governor of Anton has come to power, and he has repeatedly asked me for help. If you are willing, I will write to the governor to admonish him and work for the governor...
