Section 904 The Achievements of Shaofu (3)
In the face of the whale candle, of course, Kang Kai still stiffened his neck, saying that this was 'useless and extravagant'.
But the position has been loosened.
As a self-proclaimed reader and intellectual.
Of course, Kangkai would love this kind of whale candle that burns colorlessly and tastelessly, and can illuminate the night like day.
Although it may be a little more expensive.
But his family's tens of millions of houses can be bought without blinking an eye.
These hundreds of whale candles can naturally be brought home with their eyes closed.
When Liu She saw this, his heart blossomed.
As a result, a modified three-legged cocoon and a simplified version of the single-person cocoon were taken out.
The former requires two people and one animal, but it can complete the work of deep ploughing and sowing on 100 acres of land in one day.
It is especially suitable for growing corn beans in the north.
The latter, on the other hand, is a simplified version of the extremely simple cocoon.
It reduces many unnecessary designs and optimizes the structure.
So that only one person needs to pull on his shoulder to complete the sowing work.
This made the onlookers look at it intently.
In the past four years, the Shaofu Yamen has sold all kinds of advanced agricultural tools in Guanzhong.
In the past, Quyuan plows, waterwheels and soil fertilizers were well received in Guanzhong.
In addition, it also cooperated with Danong and Neishi Yamen to promote the Daida method.
Therefore, everyone has a very high evaluation of the quality of the things produced by the Shaofu Yamen.
Even, it also left in the minds of the people, 'Shaofu, that is the yamen that makes equipment for His Majesty, can the quality of the things produced by Shaofu be bad?' 'Impressions.
There is already a brand, and it is the image of a famous brand.
Liu She then let people demonstrate the use of the three-legged cocoon and the single-person cocoon car.
Whether it is the deep ploughing and sowing of the three-legged cocoon or the human sowing of the single-person cocoon car, it is all dumbfounded.
Kang Kai's eyes were even straighter.
Before today, Kang Kai never knew that in this world, farming could still rely on the help of machinery and animal power.
The teachers never told him that as long as the moral level was raised, the world would be naturally healthy.
But he has never avoided talking about ways other than to improve his moral level.
But, now in front of his eyes.
He thought he was a 'traitor' and a 'thief who rebelled against politics'.
The words of the teachers are 'ministers without virtue'.
However, with the 'skills' that Kangkai's teachers never talked about, they creatively recommended to the world two advanced tools for different classes and regions, the three-legged cocoon and the single cocoon car.
This made Kangkai a little stuck.
He could no longer utter the words, 'This thing is not good for the world, it is extravagant and wasteful'.
But where is Liu She willing to let him go easily?
Liu She clapped his palms.
A novelty single-wheeled wooden instrument was carried by a craftsman on his shoulder and pushed in front of everyone.
If in the past, the chariot was an improved instrument based on the wisdom of the old people.
Then this unicycle, or unicycle, is an invention of the past.
"This car, the name is the deer car......" Liu She proudly said to everyone: "In the battle of Mayi last year, Shaofu built more than 1,500 deer cars, and transferred millions of stones of grain and grass to Mayi and Yanmen, arrows and spears were not counted!" ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately burst into a bang and began to discuss.
Last year's Battle of Mayi can be said to be the focus of discussion in the whole world.
The Battle of Mayi, so to speak, profoundly changed the world.
This battle not only changed and innovated the way of warfare, but also let the world know that from now on, cavalry will be king!
It has brought countless new things to the world.
Among them is the very hot 'deer car' that is being discussed by public opinion.
Legend has it that a deer cart, one husband holds it, can carry ten stones of grain in a day and night, and travel dozens of miles!
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 probably just a legend.
However, now, this thing has gone from legend to reality.
Countless people looked straight at the miraculous car that was said to have transferred millions of stones of grain and grass to the front line within a 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' piled with corn, walking on the road as fast as the wind.
Countless people's hearts were immediately surging.
In fact, Chang'an has long been a purely commodity economy city.
There are hundreds of thousands of residents living here.
But the vast majority are people engaged in handicrafts and industry and commerce.
The peasant class, in fact, has disappeared from the city of Chang'an.
The daily consumption and consumption of the residents of the city all depend on the material supply of Guanzhong and Kanto.
Decades ago, when Qin died and Han Xingxing, Guanzhong was still self-sufficient.
But with the passage of time, Guanzhong, a treasure land known as the 800-mile Qinchuan River and the treasure of the world, actually began to suffer from grain dependence.
Starting from Taizong, it was necessary to turn over 100,000 stone of grain from Kanto every year.
Today, that number has climbed to millions of stones!
Next year it is expected to reach 1.5 million stones!
And other daily consumables, such as cloth, oil and salt, have long relied on supplies from Kanto.
It was in this context that Shi's relied on a rail carriage to make money every day.
The bigger change comes from the prosperity of the examination.
Every summer, tens of thousands of scholars from all over the world gather in Chang'an, and everyone comes with ideals and ambitions.
These people come from all walks of life in all parts of the world.
But in general, they are basically the children of the Chinese family.
Even the children of local bigwigs.
They spend money like dirt and sprinkle money like rain.
The big dogs were in a good mood, and they went to Huajie Willow Lane to throw a hundred and eighty gold, without blinking their eyes.
And every year in the examination, there will be two classes of success and failure.
Those who pass the examination are eager to become officials and realize their ideals and ambitions.
And those who fail to make the list will basically not give up.
will choose to stay in Chang'an.
Rich people live in mansions, lie in high beds, wear gold and silver, and go in and out of public homes.
The homes of the poor and the middle-aged lived in the slums, copying letters and doing other things to make a living.
Basically, as long as you are smarter, smarter, and diligent, you can't starve to death.
At worst, they can also choose to be diners and staff members for the princes of Chang'an City.
even gave businessmen as bookkeepers and chairs.
In the worst case, you can also go to Shaofu to apply and go to Shanglin Yuan to work.
As long as you are willing to bow your head and do things seriously, food and clothing can always be guaranteed.
In today's Chang'an, the examiners have formed an important economic hotspot.
Every summer, before and after the examination, it is the best time for business in Chang'an.
At that time, no matter whether you were buying or selling, you could always sell out of goods.
The big dog households were in a good mood, and it was not unheard of to directly wrap up the goods on the street......
Even in the 'off-season' like today.
There is also business.
Not to mention, the more than 10,000 scholars and their entourage stranded in Chang'an are a huge market in themselves.
Under such circumstances, the small and medium-sized merchants of Chang'an, especially those peddlers and pawns, urgently needed a simple, practical and small carrying vehicle.
Isn't this 'deer cart' in front of them the ideal tool in their minds?
As a result, countless people swallowed their saliva violently.
Some people even began to ask: "How much does this car cost?" ”
"It's not expensive...... Liu She smiled and stretched out a finger: "Each deer cart, in Shaofu and Da Nong and the Lord Duwei Yamen, costs five hundred yuan, Tong Su is not bullied!" ”
"At present, the Shaofu Zhuwai Yamen, as well as the Da Nong Zhu, and the Lord Duwei Zhuya, have all been sold!" Liu She dropped the bombshell.
The crowd exploded.
Everyone is a shrewd citizen.
There is a small abacus in my heart, which is rattling and rattling.
Five hundred dollars, it looks expensive.
It's equivalent to the current price of 10 stone corn.
It is equivalent to the output of four acres of land in a year!
Not really!
This deer cart, judging from the workmanship, although it is purely made of wood, seems to be cheap.
In fact, it is not the case, not to mention, the structure of the wheel and the deer cart requires a capable carpenter to carve it.
It would take at least four or five days for a skilled carpenter to build such a deer cart.
Now, skilled carpenters and blacksmiths work every day, and the wages are not fifty dollars, and people don't bother to pay attention to you.
That's more than two hundred.
Although this wood is cheap, Chang'an itself does not produce wood.
Therefore, it is necessary to go to the mountains and forests outside the city to cut down.
It's going to take another day.
Cutting and transporting add up to at least a hundred dollars.
That's three or four hundred dollars.
And whether you hire a carpenter to build or hire someone to cut down and transport it, you have to provide this food yourself.
Added up, the total cost is close to Shaofu's offer!
Not to mention......
Produced by Shaofu, you must lose the boutique!
The facts of the past have told the big guys that the things sold in Shaofu can still be guaranteed and maintained.
From time to time, there will be a trade-in event.
For half the original price, you can exchange your old goods for new ones.
With such a calculation, the big guys are excited.
With a hula, most of the people dispersed in an instant and ran to various official offices in the city.
This kind of cheap and practical deer cart has never been short of sales.
In case the production speed of Shaofu can't keep up, it will be bought out.
Who are you crying with?
And those who remain are basically real gossip lovers.
These people focused their attention on Kang Kai, who was already extremely embarrassed at the moment.
Jiuqing slapped the face of the Taixue student!
Something new than ever!
Maybe it will become an idiom or an allusion in the future.
This makes the gossip party incomparably thicker.
Do these Taixue students continue to resist to the end and become a laughing stock, or do they know that they can change their mistakes and stage a plot of 'bowing down and bowing again'?
Many people are looking forward to it.
……………………………………
Kang Kai was actually embarrassed to death.
If embarrassment can be fatal.
Now, he can't wait to find a hole in the ground to drill into!
The two cheeks only felt hot and painful.
The so-called 'useless and extravagant things' that he had always been stubborn about before became a big joke in front of the facts!
looked at the fiery gazes in the eyes of the onlookers, 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, this Shaofu would inevitably ask him to give an explanation.
just admitted his mistake directly, but he didn't dare.
Because once you admit your mistakes, you are guilty of them!
What is the crime of attacking Jiuqing?
At the very least, you have to lose your head!
Even if it was just the crime of colliding with Jiuqing, it was enough for him to be exiled for 3,000 miles, and he was sent to the Great Wall to repair the earth with his son-in-law and prisoners.
It's just, what else can he do but admit his mistakes?
If he didn't admit his mistake, Shaofu was angry and sent him to the Tingwei Yamen.
According to the principles of Han law, he is dead!
He moved his lips and said in a trembling voice: "The kid is guilty, please ask the Ming Mansion to punish the crime!" ”
For the first time, he used an honorific title on Liu She.
Now, he can only hope that Shaofuqing can be like a gentleman, not to blame for his mistakes, but to forgive generously.
In this way, according to the principle of Han law 'the people do not raise and the officials do not correct', as long as the Shaofu does not sue him and does not want to punish the crime, he can be safe.
Of course, Liu She is not a gentleman.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to brush up on prestige.
In fact, the aristocracy is the group that knows how to brush up on prestige.
Back then, the Marquis of Huaiyin was humiliated by his crotch, and after he became famous, he had to see the enemy, didn't he do anything?
Rather, it is an encouragement.
When the level reaches a certain height, and then you have to deal with people, it is not smart, but stupid.
will be laughed at by the world!
But Liu She didn't plan to let this person go easily.
If only today, a Taixue student could shout 'Except for the ministers' to rush and even stab him.
It's hard to see if there will be some crazy people rushing over with knives tomorrow.
After thinking about it in his heart, Liu She made a decision.
"Please get up ......" Liu She smiled and helped Kang Kai up, and said: "Since I was appointed as the secretary of the Shaofu, I am determined to assist Your Majesty and send Jun Yao Shun, so I have been sleeping all night, working hard up and down the Shaofu, and I have today!" ”
"What ......" Liu She wiped a handful of tears and said with emotion: "Knowing that I sin against me, it is only spring and autumn!" ”
"The sky is long, the earth is clear, how can a confidant exist......"
This acting skill exploded in an instant.
In a few words, Liu She mobilized the emotions of the onlookers and Kang Kai.
It even made Kang Kai ashamed.
At this moment, in Kang Kai's heart, the image of Shaofu Liu She has completely changed.
This is not a minister at all, but a big husband and a hero!
For the sake of the monarch and the world, he is willing to suffer unjustly.
And ambitious and open-minded.
The ancient gentlemen were probably nothing more than that!
Otherwise, why would he be willing to condescend to himself and lift himself up?
Thinking about it this way, Kang Kai even felt that when Liu She collided with him or even intended to endanger him, he did not directly kill himself on the spot, but took himself to this Shaofu workshop to prove himself with facts and clear himself.
This is simply an ancient child, a virtuous doctor like Yi Yin!
"You are a student of Taixue, the future of the country, the seed of the society, although you are despicable, you have always admired the people of literature......"
"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 the poor dagger: "Now Anton is in ruins, Anton is the governor of the world, and he has repeatedly asked me for talent...... How? (To be continued.) )
