It is said that Jia Cong ignored it and relied on the self-confidence that he didn't know where to come from. He insisted on handing over the business in Beijing to Zhu Tong. He patted his butt and ran away. Jia Huan was not at ease after reading at zero o'clock, so he ran to Qin Keqing and whispered:
"Sister-in-law Liu Er, this person is not one of ours yet."
Qin Keqing smiled and said: "I have my own sense of discretion, so it's okay to just let him take care of some daily things."
Liu Xianglian also tugged on her arm and whispered: "I'm afraid that Mr. Zhu is a stupid scholar at heart and will learn our methods and pass them on to Beringen."
Qin Keqing said: "Anyone who can pick out Mr. Newton's masterpieces from a pile of serious books to read must not be a conservative person. Besides, I think Cong'er also wants to pass on some things to others. Liu Aiyun has already learned almost the same thing.
Already."
Jia Huan said: "Brother Liu has known each other for so many years, and we are familiar with each other. Besides, the Xue family and our family are on the same line."
Qin Keqing picked up the tea and took a sip: "This is called upstream and downstream. The Xue family is the upstream supply source and downstream agent distributor for our family and Prince Beijing, and the Bai family is the logistics port. If the Bai family can improve efficiency, it will be good for our family.
It’s good for both the Xue family. Do you think Cong’er didn’t reveal anything to Shui Rong? In my opinion, Cong’er’s move is a good one. Zhu Tong is finally willing to stay in our family, and we have an excellent talent; if he wants to return to Bai
It would also be good to bring our management model to the Bai family and integrate the upstream and downstream management methods. If Bai Lingen is not willing to make full use of him, he will definitely not be able to stand the frustration on the other end and will come back sooner or later. If he is willing to use him,
He must be the most advanced one in the management of the Bai family and must be able to hold great power, and Zhu Tong himself must owe us a favor and be of great benefit to us."
Zhu Tong was not far away, looking at the simple diagram of the internal process left by Jia Cong, and said with a smile on his face: "Can't you just go out and say this? Shopkeeper Qin's voice is not quiet, even if the students can't hear it."
Qin Keqing smiled and said: "They wanted to tell me, why should I go out?"
Zhu Tongnai said sternly: "If nothing else, a student will not abandon his master and leave just because he is not reused for a while."
Qin Keqing said: "I'm not talking about reuse. You still don't understand it right now. Once you get used to the effective operating model, you won't be able to stand it if I let you use the backward model. I'll see the Liu family after I get used to it here.
Those in the lumber shop can't stand it. You will understand this in the future."
Jia Huan pouted: "Sister-in-law, why can't I understand some of the words you said?"
Qin Keqing gave him a sideways look: "Aren't you too lazy to listen when I asked you to learn from me?"
Jia Huan then pulled her sleeves: "Good sister-in-law! Teach me!"
Liu Xianglian said hurriedly: "She is pregnant now, and she still needs to teach Zhu Tong."
Jia Huan said: "One sheep is being herded, two sheep are being driven, let's go together~~"
Qin Keqing smiled and tapped his forehead: "If you want to learn, just follow Mr. Zhu, there is no need to be lazy."
Jia Huan nodded repeatedly.
From that day on, he and Zhu Tong followed Qin Keqing. In his spare time every day, he often talked about "species evolution", "social evolution", and "class changes", and slowly passed into Zhu Tong's ears many of the truths that Jia Cong smuggled from later generations.
Guan. How could Zhu Tong know what he had in mind? It sounded very reasonable, novel and interesting, and the more I listened to it, the more I liked it.
On the other end, Jia Cong ran back to Taiwan House as fast as his life, and went straight to Xiaoxiang Hall without even changing his clothes. Fortunately, the gatekeeper recognized him and did not stop him. On the way, he met Lin Daiyu and Jia Tanchunli.
Not knowing what to argue about in the corridor, Jarvis occasionally interjected to help the argument, and said: "You three pause for a moment and come over together."
Daiyu Tanchun didn't pay attention to him, but now she recognized him and said in unison: "You came back just in time!"
Jia Cong waved his hand without waiting for the two of them to speak: "Let's come to the creek together, we have something important to do."
Daiyu Tanchun said in unison: "We have important matters here too!"
Jia Cong had no choice but to hold up his hands and said: "Sisters, let's discuss this first, and then we'll tell you later how good you are? Come on, come on!" Without waiting for her to say anything, the two of them picked up their feet and walked away, walking very quickly.
Like a gust of wind.
The three of them had no choice but to follow.
Wu Xiaoxi's room was filled with all kinds of Western firearms, models of guns and artillery, and blueprints. He was discussing something with the next person. Jia Cong came in and pointed at the person: "Pause! Go and call Gong Kun over.
.”
Wu Xiaoxi became angry: "We haven't finished talking yet, why should we pause? Get in line and wait until we finish talking before talking about you."
Jia Cong said: "This matter is important to me!"
Wu Xiaoxi said: "My affairs don't matter anymore?" He looked up and saw the three people coming, and said hurriedly, "You guys came just in time! Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, if my ammunition depot is not completed, when will the broken house not be saved?"
It has to explode!”
Lin Daiyu said: "You already have more people to build the ammunition depot than Big Sister's!"
Wu Xiaoxi said: "Anyway, if it explodes, you are responsible!"
Lin Daiyu turned to look at Jia Cong: "There are not enough manpower!"
Jia Cong stamped his feet and said: "If you don't have enough manpower, add money! I don't believe you can't attract people!"
Daiyu said: "To put it lightly, even if we still have some money, the wages must not be too high. Otherwise, if everyone comes to work, why don't we need people to farm the land? Then the price of food will rise again."
Jia Cong said: "Buy grain from elsewhere! Our people will take care of your use first. If there is no one to farm, you can postpone it for a while and buy grain from everywhere. What are you afraid of if you have money?"
Tanchun covered his mouth and coughed three times.
Jia Cong said: "I was about to discuss money matters with you, but you are all busy! That's all, you guys are busy first. I am almost dying when I come back from a horse race in the capital. I'm going to wash up first."
He rolled his eyes and ran away.
Several people looked at him and disappeared in the blink of an eye. They could only look at each other for a few times and then discuss the matter.
Jia Cong was really tired. He went back to see Jia She and then went back to the courtyard to take a bath. After washing himself, he ate half a plate of snacks and a pot of tea. How could he still have the energy to go out? He fell asleep while standing on his head on the bed, and he slept until the third day.
The next morning, fortunately, he was young and energetic after getting enough sleep. He packed up and rushed to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Knowing that he must have something important to talk about today, Daiyu had already ordered everyone to come out during their free time, and soon a full room was filled.
Jia Cong said: "Dear colleagues, Situ Pan sent a letter to the kings to discuss state affairs together in March next year, such as imperial examinations, river management, etc. I am willing to step in and encourage them to fight."
Everyone's expressions changed.
Jia Cong waved his hand: "The Westerners are robbing the whole world, and it is only a matter of time before they come to us. Therefore, I am determined to encourage the kings to fight. It is just to rob the Westerners for money, and it is impossible without firearms. Today we will get
There are two ways to buy firearms. One is to buy from Westerners." He then looked at Wu Xiaoxi and said, "While all the kings still don't understand this, I want to monopolize the Western firearms sold to my dynasty."
Wu Xiaoxi raised his eyebrows: "You mean, you want to be an arms dealer?"
Jia Cong shook his head gently: "No, no, no. I want to be an arms magnate. If the kings want to buy Western firearms, they have to find someone to find out where they can sell them? They probably don't have many people on hand who can speak Western. Not right now.
There is still some time until November, and there is still some time before March. We must focus on this matter and spread the news among maritime merchants." As he spoke, he picked up a pen and drew a figure on the table, and everyone looked at it as if it was several figures.
Inside the circle is an unknown object.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "This is an abstract octopus painting." Then he wrote the word "Hi Claw" next to it. "There is a strange Western businessman, nicknamed Hi Claw. He is familiar with all Western large-scale firearms dealers, and there is
On the road of various dragons and snakes, you can buy various Western firearms. This thing is his badge."
Daiyu frowned and said, "Why do you have such a weird name?"
Jia Cong said: "The weirder it is, the more confusing it is."
Daiyu shook her head: "That's all, you've always been weird, it's just your name anyway."
Jia Cong went on to say: "Whenever kings are interested in buying firearms, they must first find someone to find out the way, and the prince who is willing to fight must be rich. If you have money, you have a big heart, and if you have a big heart, you want the best firearms. A vigorous and vigorous attack will kill them.
Even if we only charge a 10% profit from the famous brand, it will be enough for us to make a profit."
Xiaoxi nodded: "I understand. It may not work, but you can try. But are Westerners willing to sell you firearms to shoot themselves?"
Jia Cong smiled and winked: "Don't worry! They will definitely agree." Nai added, "The other way is to make your own firearms. Western firearms are now better than ours. I know that some firearms in the previous dynasty were better than those of Westerners.
It's better, but we can't find the blueprints. I asked Luo Tainiang and Brother Liu from Beijing to get them a few days ago. Our own research and development process must be faster."
Yuan Chun said: "This matter cannot be accomplished overnight."
Jia Cong said: "Concentrate our manpower first."
Yuanchun said calmly: "People are really limited, and you can't become fat with just one bite. It's more reliable that you go get the blueprints from Jingzhong."
Jia Cong had no choice but to shrug his shoulders. After everyone discussed it for a while, Daiyu asked him if he had anything else to do. He said, "Although our matters are all important, we have to prioritize them first."
Everyone's eyes immediately lit up.
Jia Cong said: "The first important thing is where the eldest sister is. The third sister can move anyone's money, but the determination to cultivate talents cannot be changed."
Tanchun looked at him: "Where can you move?"
Jia Cong said: "Now we have to start farming first. There is a shortage of people everywhere, but farming is just for food. Food can be bought first. When people find that there is less money to buy food and more money to work, they will naturally go
We work instead of growing food. We would rather subsidize it, but we have to lower the price of food on the market."
Lin Daiyu frowned and said, "This is not a long-term solution."
Jia Cong pointed at Yuan Chun and said: "Sister, the long-term solution is to develop science and technology, improve farm tools, and make mechanical things so that farming no longer requires so much labor."
Yuanchun said: "First you said the steam engine was the most important thing, then two days later you said the telegraph machine was the most important thing, and two days later you said the AC/DC generator was the most important thing. Now here comes another farm tool.
.What is the most important thing? We have to put it in order. Besides, we are not rich here, and I can't get so many people at once."
Jia Cong said: "The steam engine is the most important, followed by the telegraph machine, and the others further down the list. The steam engine is directly connected to the steam ship and agricultural vehicle. How is the Jenny Textile Machine?"
Yuan Chun said: "This is quite easy. According to what you said last time, it didn't take long for a few masters to complete the prototype."
Jia Cong nodded: "Give me the drawings and prototypes. I will take them to the capital to sell them in March. As for the people, there are many people in my court, and skilled craftsmen are hidden among the people. I have asked Fourth Uncle Jia to let Ma Xing pay more attention to the search.
Craftsmen are not valued much by the court, so it is easier to find people than to go to the West. Over there," he thought for a while, he said, "there is an Englishman named James Watt who is quite talented, so we have to find ways to get him.
"
Gong Kun said: "Didn't you bother the Xue family's fleet the year before last to find out about Western scientific masters? I already have a list." He looked at Yang Heng, "General Yang, I'm afraid I have to make a trip to the Western Ocean in person."
.”
Yang Heng said with a smile: "Please come?"
Liu Feng said: "Since you are a very important person, you can be kidnapped. You are a pirate."
Yang Heng clasped his fists: "I have received the military advisor's order!"
Liu Feng said: "When you come back, the fourth girl and General Wu will probably come back too. Then let General Wu take a look and just say that he arrested the wrong person and save those Western gentlemen."
Xiaoxi blinked and said, "Since we arrested the wrong person, wouldn't they have to go back to the country?"
Liu Feng said: "If you catch the wrong person, let him go on the spot. Can they still reason with the pirates? They have no money, no power, and they don't understand our country. Our country is thousands of miles away from the West.
If they go to Miss Lin's place to work hard and make some money, where can they get back? Besides, Miss Lin's place is only building a Chengtian Port at the moment. Once it is completed, it will also be a military port and will be used by the navy. Our island does not have a commercial port for the time being.
If they want to go back, they have to find a boat, right?"
Everyone laughed. Gong Kun pointed at Liu Feng and said with a smile: "At this table, you and Weiss look the most honest. In fact, he is really honest and you are fake."
Liu Feng said seriously: "I am also very honest. It is the duty of a counselor to give advice to my lord. It is just like Western gentlemen doing experiments. It is purely technical and has nothing to do with character."
Everyone laughed again.
Jia Congnai asked: "Mr. Gong, does Prime Minister Lin have anything else to do?"
Gong Kun and Daiyu both said "yes" and discussed the matter for another half day.
When the party was over and everyone was packing up their desks, Jia Cong suddenly shouted: "Ah, that's right!"
Everyone had a meal.
"I went to pay my respects to my father this morning. He said that our affairs are all top priorities and he doesn't care about the rest. It's just that my eldest sister is old and it's time to get married. This is the number one priority in the world. He ordered me to
By the way, I mentioned that the meeting is dismissed!" He gave a high-five, shouted "Ouch, Ouch, Ouch," stretched out and got up first to go out.
Everyone also said: "It has nothing to do with me." Then they picked up their belongings and filed out.
Jia Cong said loudly outside again: "Hey, all the bachelors are listening~~ Hong. Sister Xiu, sister Jinjiang, I have already completed the household registration. They are both free and good citizens of the capital now. If you want to propose, please hurry up. If it is late, let others know."
He took it away, the dowry is huge~~~"
Hong Xiu Jinjiang was standing guard outside the door. Hearing this, his face immediately turned red with embarrassment. Everyone was making loud noises outside.
The only ones left in the room were Gong Kun, who was still sorting out a lot of copywriting, and Jia Yuanchun, who was still reviewing the orders.
