The next morning, Manager Mei Lezhi couldn't get up early for the first time, and he had back pain all over his body.

When he opened his eyes, he was startled, Wang Zuxian was lying beside him, his little face was very close to him, and he was looking at himself carefully, with a pair of big eyes flickering.

"What's wrong, Zuxian?"

"Lezhi, I want to take a good look at you-it was Xianggong who asked me to call you that last night-"

Manager Meloch stretched out his hand, patted her on the back and said, "Okay, that's good, let's downplay the debasement of our own identity and dignity in our titles." ”

He raised his hand to look at his watch, ah, it was past eight o'clock in the morning, and he hadn't gotten up so late in many years.

"What's that?"

"Mechanical watches."

"I want it too,"

Manager Mei Lezhi took it off directly, handed it to Wang Zuxian, and said, "I heard that we have a private one in the Hantang Group, and I can buy another piece at the market price." ”

"Then I don't want it, I heard that I will give anything after working for Hantang Group?"

"If you do need a table at work, you can. Do you want to work at Hantang Group? ”

"Exactly, where Lezhi is, Zuxian will go, what you women can do, I will definitely be able to do it."

Manager Mei Lezhi smiled, patted her smooth back and said, "Now, you can't replace any of their work, but if you work hard in the future, it may be possible." ”

"Can you teach me?"

"Of course, let's start with pinyin, you can recognize the vulgar characters, and the calligraphy is better than mine."

After the two decided on the learning content, Manager Meregg wanted to get up.

Wang Zuxian stopped him, opened his mouth and shouted: "Chunmei, Qiuju, wait for my uncle to get up." ”

The two little girls came in at the call, and it turned out that they were already waiting at the door.

Manager Mei Lezhi didn't stop her at first, so she had to get into the bed all of a sudden.

He must not let a woman put her in pants!

He thought about it, this education work in all aspects is still very long, who asked him to find a college girl.

On the third day, Mei Lezhi took Wang Zuxian across the courtyard and returned to her parents' house.

Wang Zuxian and his mother went into the back room to chatter, and Mei Lezhi and his father-in-law Wang Hanlin sat in the main hall alarmistly.

After Mei Lezhi said hello, Wang Hanlin said: "Zu Xian was stubborn when he was young, and he was useless when he was old, so he asked his son-in-law to take care of it." ”

Mei Lezhi sighed in his heart, this is the Ming style of modesty, it always extremely reduces people's character and ability to express a kind of politeness, in fact, if the environment is changed, it can go to the other extreme, infinite height of boasting or endless praise of merit.

"When I was a child, I really want to thank you for your open education, so that her beautiful nature has not been extinguished in the process of interacting with nature and society," said Meloche. ”

“――”

Mei Lezhi immediately said: "Close to nature, kinship, great goodness!" ”

Wang Hanlin laughed, stroked his long beard and said: "Zhu Xi once said that Confucius's so-called 'self-denial and revenge', the so-called 'neutralization', 'respect for virtue', 'Taoism', the so-called 'Ming Mingde' in "University", and the "Book" said 'people's hearts are only in danger, Taoism is only subtle, but the essence is the only one, and it is allowed to persist in the middle'. But the old man disagreed—what did the virtuous son-in-law think? ”

Mei Lezhi thought about it for a while, and remembered that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Yangming's psychology seemed to have completed a split with Cheng Zhu Lixue, and said: "The sentence 'Tomorrow's reason, destroying people's desires', as a kind of reflection and correction of the social trend of indulgence, extravagance and greed since the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, naturally has its logical reasons for proposing and existing, but due to the limitations of the language of its ideological expression and the imprecision of the extension of the vocabulary, this kind of thinking is uncertain and easy to be interpreted for various purposes. This leads to a total negation of it, and even different forms of repetition at different times.

This point can be clearly seen in the historical development of ideology and philosophy in the Ming Continent. ”

“――”

Wang Hanlin lowered his head and drank tea for a long time, as if he was thinking. The teacups in their hands are already Hantang Group style, and they no longer need to hold the tea saucer with both hands, but directly hold the tea handle with one hand.

Mei Lezhi said embarrassedly: "I used to translate foreign documents a lot, and it was difficult to change the characteristics of my speech. I approve of my father-in-law's approach to the education of my ancestors. ”

Wang Hanlin smiled and said, "Of course, how can women's education be the same as that of men—"

That's a good idea, Meloge thought, because it's a clear idea of gender differences in education.

Wang Hanlin said: "Women are literate, and those who can understand righteousness are solid and virtuous, but they are rare." If you dance and write all day long, it is not beautiful to do some ugly things, it is better to pay attention to her woman's virtue! ”

So that's the case, Mei Lezhi was disappointed, this is Wang Hanlin's version of a woman who is not talented is virtuous, sexist. But he looked at Wang Hanlin's gray beard and didn't want to say anything more.

Next, introduced by his father-in-law, Manager Mei Lezhi participated in many drinking parties, poetry meetings, flower viewing parties, and moon viewing parties.

The main content of the talks was mainly to scold the eunuchs, scold the Tartars, and praise Yongshengbo Zheng Cai, during which there were also some discord among the literati, and no one mentioned the life of the common people, and no one mentioned the future trend of the situation.

In the eyes of Manager Mei Lezhi, these people can't even compare with the pseudo-intellectual He Bin, and they don't even have a constructive opinion, and it can be seen that they are not logical and are all sophistry.

This is a group of intellectuals who take sophistry as logic!

Manager Mei Lezhi deeply realized that these middle-aged and elderly intellectuals are very rigid in their thinking, and basically have no common language, and if they only come to find chapters and sentences and write poems, he is not their opponent.

They are rigid in their thinking, but what about ourselves? Although there is such an opportunity in the early stage of old age, we must be vigilant in the future.

However, it is Yongsheng Bo Zheng Cai who is beginning to be vigilant now.

Taiwan's Han Tang Group can ask for all kinds of goods and labor such as us, but if their black hand reaches out to the vast number of literati and wise men such as us, this is absolutely impossible.

Although I, Lao Zheng, also killed literati at the beginning, it was a literati who opposed us. To do great things, where is there not to go around recruiting wise men?

Yongsheng Bo Zheng Cai took advantage of the fact that Manager Mei Lezhi came to thank him for being a person who witnessed the marriage, and he tried for a long time outside the words, but he didn't see that Manager Mei Lezhi had the intention of recruiting the wise men of southern Fujian, and saw that Manager Mei Lezhi was sincere in his feelings, and he was only half-convinced.

Yongsheng Bo Zheng Cai reviewed the management for a while, and found that he had not paid much attention to the Magi, but it was not too late, Yongsheng Bo Zheng Cai appointed and promoted a number of Magi with a little reputation in a few days in a row, and they were not inferior to their salaries.

At this moment, Yongsheng Bo Zheng Cai's reputation is even more in the air among the people of southern Fujian.

However, Yongsheng Bo Zheng Cai does have proud achievements.

The pig iron produced in the Anxi area of southern Fujian is the world's largest monthly output in this time and space, and by the end of the year, it can reach the first annual output.

Of course, almost all the other iron-producing regions of the Ming Continent were affected by the war.

Yongsheng Bo Zheng Cai bought refractory bricks from the Hantang Group, which is said to be alkaline, why I don't know, but it is indeed effective, and the craftsman said that the original iron-making kiln can be enlarged and heightened.

I also learned the secret method of building a furnace from the Hantang Group, and I can buy various catalysts at any time, I don't know what it is, but it is really effective, and the craftsman said that it is better than grabbing the sand and throwing the soil into it.

He also learned the hydraulic wheeled bellows from the Hantang Group, and he could also get their Ming version of the project explosives and medicine to open coal mines and iron mines at any time.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Yongsheng Bo Zheng Cai cleared all kinds of small separatist forces in the local area one by one, so that the flow of various commodities was smoother. It is estimated that Yongsheng Bo Zheng Cai will encounter the reversal of the case in the future.

In the Longyan area, why don't you let the ethnic minorities occupy a cottage and start to set up barricades to collect cash? Just force people to dig coal?

Yongsheng Bo Zheng Cai also asked Manager Mei Lezhi, is the output of pig iron really the first in the world?

Manager Mei Lezhi said seriously: "Now you have a monthly output of 4,000 tons of pig iron, which is of course the world's largest in terms of various numbers, but I think the development of pig iron in the Anxi area should pay more attention to sustainable development, including labor security for craftsmen." ”

Yongshengbo Zheng Cai laughed: "This is natural, technicians, if they live one more day, they will be able to produce a few more kilns of pig iron, and how many objects can be exchanged for - my Lao Zheng not only gives them holidays, but also gives them wages, and we naturally understand the means of the Hantang Group——"

The coal production in the Longyan area can be said to be the second in the world.

Originally, it produced more than Taiwan, but after the Hantang Group used industrial means, several handicraft industries in the Longyan area could only retreat to the second.

The Longyan area has become a place in southern Fujian that can intimidate people.

Manager Merozie did not bother to investigate, and judging from folklore alone, he estimated that the number of casualties per ten tons of production could be calculated.

The Da Ming law is still practiced in southern Fujian, but the punishment of one qiē is replaced by one, two, and three years of labor in Longyan. At some point, the security in southern Fujian can be said to be closed at night.

The prisoners captured by Zheng Jiajun on large and small battlefields will never be killed if they do not resist, and even the horsemen have written this down, and they have a place to go in addition to sending Taiwan to exchange objects.

Yongsheng Bo Zheng Cai once said to Manager Mei Lezhi: "I don't benefit you, I don't benefit you, I am raised in prison in vain, and I have to spend manpower to take care of it; Killed on the battlefield in vain, and buried with manpower. A few potatoes, a few corns, and a few salted fish can live, and they can produce a lot.

Hantang Group has taught me a lot! ”

Manager Mei Lezhi wanted to say something, but he could only sigh, in the future, it will change.

In the charcoal, quicklime and cement markets, the Zhengjia Group defeated the Hantang Group and the Panjia Group by virtue of fair and fair market rules, and none of them were as low as him in price.

In terms of ordinary folk demand, no one can sell the Zhengjia Group, but in the words of some people from the Hantang Group, the Zhengjia Group does not even pay wages to workers, and the production methods are similar to ours, who can the fuck compete with them!

Zheng Sanye Zheng Bin of the Zheng Family Group mentioned this in a secret letter.

Yongshengbo Zheng Cai, who has always been sensitive to the words and deeds of the Hantang Group, smiled slightly and didn't care, and said: "How can I just give food and not pay salaries?" At that time, the Tartars were very persecuted, and it was just a dedication to the overall situation! Now, it's going to be done, it's going to be done. ”

He accepted the advice of his subordinates, issued potato tickets, corn tickets, and salted fish tickets, and then could go to the shops of the Zheng family group to exchange huàn, and at the same time, he issued them some horse tickets, and he could not do without pocket money.

The gratitude of the people is even stronger, and the sound of praise is smoky.

However, the Zhengjia group felt that it had lost something, so some of its staff proposed to increase the export tax on the tea industry and silk by 20 percent, and Xiamen can now be said to be the first export destination in the Ming mainland.

This policy is still specifically aimed at all kinds of red fur that come to Xiamen, and the export tax on the Hantang Group remains unchanged, because of Xiamen's characteristics, not much explanation.

If you dare to protest and coax away, it will be a great good for you to let you go ashore to do business.

The Zheng family group also thinks that a customs building should also be built, how about it being higher than that of Geranza?

The third master, Zheng Bin, said in a secret letter, it doesn't matter, but this cement can only be bought from Hantang Group, and I'm afraid that it is not strong enough.

Yongsheng Bo Zheng Cai said that the third brother was too worried, and the charcoal used in the family was produced by the Hantang Group, which was resistant to burning; Of course, the cement was also bought by the Hantang Group - it was produced by its own family, and it was not possible to live with confidence. ”
