Chapter 2004 Blocking the Road
Hearing Wen Rensheng’s teachings, Zhao Han and Wang Wenwen felt their hearts surging and wished they were about to start a big fight and start a bloody industrial revolution.
The roar of big machines, steel and gunpowder, blasted away the pretentious and decadent life of aristocrats; the forest of guns smashed into pieces the high-ranking emperor and ministers.
The sayings of "Tiger and tiger meet in great dreams", "Thousands of reds cry when they cry, and thousands of beauties share the same sorrow", and "jade belts hang in the forest and golden hairpins are buried in the snow", they all have to be reversed, and Let "women also hold up half the sky"!
"Yes, in fact, the entire Red Mansion is due to the Qing court's restriction of ideological enlightenment. Otherwise, with Cao Gong's literary skills and understanding, if he sees books imported from the West, he will definitely be able to have a great improvement. , promoted to a new level, and realized that "women become men when they are men", outstanding women such as Xue, Tanchun, Lin, and Wang will shoulder the burden of family prosperity, just like many queens, female nobles, and women in Europe. Just like a manager," Wen Rensheng said with a smile.
"I see, the teacher is wise and has profound insights." Zhao Han couldn't help but admire him.
Xiao Huan said sourly in her mind: "Look, you have been deceived again. Lao Wen is good at deceiving people by painting big cakes. All teachers are like this. I just ate his big cake. It’s made me tired for a month, and made you happy for a month.”
“I’m not fooling you. If you had persisted before, at least in my impression, you would have been a good baby, a good baby, and a top student. "
"If you can't hold on, your secret will be exposed sooner or later." Xiao Huan said bitterly.
Wen Rensheng then stood up and left.
Zhao Han and Wang Wenwen were left behind, as well as a troublesome Xiao Huan.
“If we want to launch an industrial revolution, we must first take stock of the chips in our hands.” Wang Wenwen said, and began to pick up the chopsticks on the table as chips.
"I am Jia Baoyu and you are Jia Rong. I have influence in Rongguo Mansion. You directly inherit Ningguo Mansion and you also have the position of the head of the Jia family." Zhao Han said, picking up a long Put two short bamboo chopsticks on an empty plate.
"The opponents are the emperor, ministers, nobles, eunuchs, common people... and many other conservative forces." Wang Wenwen then placed a bunch of chopsticks on another plate.
"We also have the influence of the other three families, the influence of the old nobles..." Zhao Han picked up some more chopsticks and put them on this plate.
"The opponent will not start immediately. The first people who will directly affect our industrial plan are actually the people within the Jia family first." Wang Wenwen added.
After the two of them made a pass, they thought about it and started to act quickly.
First they need to find allies within the Jia family.
The first ally is Wang Xifeng, because the other party knows best that the Jia family's internal pockets are clear.
To the extent that if you want to get your monthly payment, you have to first take out loan sharks that are despised by everyone.
Later, I was able to persist for more than ten years because I sucked the blood of Lin Daiyu's family, which cost me a million taels of silver, as well as the blood of the Xue family. The house was ransacked.
Who is Wang Xifeng? Wang Xifeng is still the original character.
Before they looked for Wang Xifeng, they first looked for Jia Lian.
Second Master Lian is considered a rare good person in the entire Jia family except Jia Baoyu. His only shortcoming is that he is too romantic, but he is not too strong, so he falls out with Wang Xifeng.
Both he and Jia Baoyu have one good thing: they will not plot against you. If you stay with each other, you will not be harmed by the other party.
This is already a good character for a dandy: like Xue Da Fool, bullying men and women, beating slaves, and squeezing the common people is the norm.
As for Jia Lian, as the second generation male, he is of course played by someone from a well-known family.
He is played by Wu Shanshan.
Of course Wu Shanshan knows that Wang Xifeng in the story is very cruel. She is a standard feudal noble lady, and her structure is too small. She forces people to die for a mere income of a few thousand taels of silver, and cannot see the overall situation. .
So I persuaded a lot of the other party, using high-sounding words such as building virtue for the heirs.
After all, doing evil will harm the heirs. This is a rumor deliberately spread among the people in order to protect themselves.
In fact, there is a lot of truth, because no matter how powerful the evildoer is, his children have no power to resist. Many of the emperor's children will die at an early age. In fact, it has a lot to do with the emperor's cruelty. Others deal with it. Without the emperor, it would be much easier to deal with a child.
Therefore, smart superiors treat the slaves around them normally and with some tolerance. Once they make a mistake and want to be punished, they will be kicked out directly or beaten to death. They will not keep those with resentment around.
After finding Jia Lian, the three of them discussed in a secret room again.
"First of all, we have to solve the power structure of the Jia family. You have no rights. No matter how much money you make, it will only end up benefiting those corrupt people, such as Jia She and his like, who live in luxury." Wu Shan Shan said first.
"Yes, actually Jia's mother was doing well. In the later period, her family's financial situation declined and she took the initiative to reduce her own expenses for food. She was much better than many Jia men who only knew about extravagant enjoyment." Jia Rong, also known as Wang Wenwen, said.
“Yes, the Jia family is used to extravagance. They pay attention to ostentation in food, clothing and housing. Many of the big maids eat, clothe, live and travel the same as the ladies from wealthy families. Their clothes and utensils are all the most exquisite. For example It was thanks to everyone that he could be a young master, and an old servant could be an old lord in his own home. The servants secretly dug up the big tree of the Jia family. However, when the Jia family fell, the servants were safe and sound. Jia Zheng It's really sad to have to go to Lai's house to borrow money." Zhao Han sighed.
Wang Wenwen nodded: "That's why Leng Zixing said that they said that the inner bag is exhausted, but there is still an empty shelf outside."
"We need to scrape the bones to cure the poison. Before doing anything, first Clean up the inside." Wu Shanshan said.
"The last Jia Zhen asked the teacher to kill him. Let's ask the teacher to kill this Jia She." Wang Wenwen came up with an idea.
"Yes, Jia She is even more incompetent and shameless. He is not as good as Jia Zhen. Jia Zhen can still support some things outside." Zhao Han agreed.
“Okay, I’ll handle this matter, it’s just Jia She.” Wu Shanshan took care of it by herself.
Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian are Jia She’s daughter-in-law and son.
Jia She is a bastard. He doesn’t do business all day long, he only cares about having fun. That’s nothing more. He also forces his son to do bad things with him. His son persuades me not to do bad things, but he still gets beaten!
Parents all over the world hope that their children and grandchildren will learn well, whether it is imperial examinations, industry or commerce, they must always do something serious.
Just like Jia Zheng, no matter how pedantic and old-fashioned he was, the other party never asked Jia Baoyu to do bad things, he just wanted the other party to take the right path of the imperial examination.
Among the previous generation of men in the Jia family, Jia Zheng was the only one who had the most impeccable character. Therefore, in the sequel, he received the mercy of the author and gave him the right to be acquitted. ending.
In the real ending, Jia Zheng may be even worse, because in this kind of family decline, the better the character, the worse the outcome, and it is likely that others will suffer.
Because it has been clearly stated in the previous article that Jia Zheng pretended to be in power. He was not enthusiastic about government affairs as an official and only talked about it. As a result, he was deceived by his subordinates. When he was appointed as an official, his subordinates did a lot of things with the help of his name. bad thing.
But for his own extravagant desire, Jia She actually forced Jia Lian to steal other people's family heirlooms. After Jia Lian persuaded him for a few words, he was beaten by the other party relying on his father's authority. This is really strange.
"Okay, now that the big borers can be dealt with, where should our industry start?" Wang Wenwen said excitedly.
She has a strong desire to show off her talents.
In the past, her mother, Wang Cuiyan, was too strict with her and could not accomplish anything.
"Based on my experience, we need to find a gap, use it to exert force, accumulate strength, and then use the explosive power of industrialization to gain a firm foothold." Zhao Han said.
"You two, Jia Baoyu and Jia Rong, will soon have the reputation of being scholars, plus the reputation of the Jia family, you should be able to do business outside and open a shop." Wu Shanshan said.
"Yes, in this day and age, business depends on how powerful you are, how big your business can be. Usually those who do small business are just shrimps for others to eat. Those who have no power can only do small business. As long as the business is big, it will be big." You have to suffer all kinds of evil things." Wang Wenwen nodded.
"That's right, so we must first find a place of relaxation that is not oppressed, that is, a weak point where external forces cannot directly intervene." Zhao Han said.
“What are the weak points?” Wang Wenwen asked.
“The first is the island, the second is the mountain village, and the third is Zhuangzi in the wealthy compound.”
“That’s right, after we take control of these places, we can freely develop them The place of conception." Wu Shanshan nodded.
The three of them discussed it again and finally settled on a village where Wang Xifeng accompanied her when she got married.
There is an advantage here. If there is really something big, just abandon the Zhuangzi. Because it is a dowry, it has little to do with the Jia family, and it is difficult for the Jia family to interfere directly.
And because she married into the Jia family, the Wang family could not interfere, and she was left alone.
And they can also use Wang Xifeng's skin to do things indirectly, avoiding the three men from being directly exposed to others' eyes.
Once something happens, it can be said that it is the fault of the servants, and the servants are used to take the blame. Anyway, those servants often do bad things in Wang Xifeng's name.
"Okay, then in Zhuangzi, what industry should we start with?" Wang Wenwen asked again. "Get the Wuji Rebirth Pill." Xiao Huan said excitedly in the minds of the three of them at the same time.
"You are talking about the deceptive reincarnation pill of Queen Mother Lu, it costs three thousand taels each, and you will be reincarnated after eating it..." Zhao Han said speechlessly.
"Yes, yes."
"You have forgotten that we do not have extraordinary power and cannot transfer memory." Zhao Han reminded.
"Well, it's all because dad didn't work hard and I couldn't become a super second generation. I'll pull out his hair when I get home!" Xiao Huan immediately became unhappy when he heard this. He lay on the brains of the three of them and divided them into three halves to scare them. .
The head is with Wu Shanshan, the body is with Zhao Han, and the legs are with Wang Wenwen.
“Haha, let’s get into textiles. I remember during the Industrial Revolution, someone said why the textile industry started to flourish? Because rich people can wear a lot of clothes, especially the clothes of aristocratic women, which are not worn every day. Repeatedly, this is strong consumption power,” Wu Shanshan said with a smile.
“Yes, in feudal society, the only class with consumption power were the landlords and the princes and nobles. The four necessities of life: food, clothing, housing and transportation. No matter how much they eat a day, they can only eat 3 to 3 It’s only 7 meals, and it’s easy to die if you eat too much. But you can change twenty or thirty pieces of clothes a day without duplicates. Just like Jia Baoyu, he changed into a set of clothes when he came out. And if their clothes are not particularly expensive, You need to replace them with new ones every year. If you wear old clothes and people recognize them when you go out to socialize, you will be ridiculed. As for housing, although it costs a lot, it does not need to be updated frequently, and mobility is not high. As for walking, the population and materials in feudal society. Liquidity is poor, and most of it is a self-sufficient manor economy," Zhao Han explained seriously.
“Okay, then we will extract the wealth from the hands of the landlords and nobles through textiles, and then put it into circulation, expand capital, improve the lives of textile workers, establish a huge consumer market for textile workers, and then promote other Industrial development." Wu Shanshan understood it immediately and gave a prototype of the next step of development.
The other two nodded repeatedly.
…………
Ten days later, Ningrong and Rongfu both welcomed a great event.
Jia Rong of Ningguo Prefecture, ranked 32nd in the college examination, and added Guangzhou students; Jia Baoyu of Rongguo Mansion, ranked seventh in the college examination, added Linshan students.
Although Wang Wenwen is a top student, he is not as good as a cheater after all.
"Baoyu has been admitted as a scholar!"
"Baoyu has been admitted as a scholar!"
"Baoyu has been admitted as a scholar!"
Three hundred things to say about important things all over.
In short, this sentence was spread back and forth throughout Rongguo Mansion.
When Mrs. Wang heard the news, her prayer beads dropped to the ground and it took her a long time to react.
"This grudge has finally come to light! It is truly blessed by the ancestors and protected by the Bodhisattva. Hurry and prepare the sedan chair. I will go to Tiekshu Temple to fulfill my wish in person!" Mrs. Wang cried with joy.
"Madam, it's better to go to our ancestors first." Jin Chuan'er reminded.
"Yes, yes, I was almost overjoyed. I should tell my ancestors first."
As Mrs. Wang was speaking, a servant came to report that her ancestors had asked her to past.
"Yes, ancestors, someone has announced the good news in advance." Mrs. Wang woke up and quickly packed her clothes. Just as Zhao Han and others said, she changed into a formal dress and went to see Jia Mu.
Jia Zheng looked even more disbelieving.
"This evildoer who is always cunning when it comes to studying can actually be admitted as a scholar after three months of hard work! It's really a manifestation of the ancestors!" Jia Zheng was surprised and happy.
"Haha, Dong Weng, my brother was born with jade in his hand. He is born with great fortune. Once he wakes up, he will naturally stop singing and become a blockbuster." Qingke Zhan Guang said.
"Okay, okay, that's what Mr. Zhan said. That day, the evil boy said he wanted to go to school, and I scolded him. Don't shame me. Playing is his right thing. Mr. Zhan said, my son It will only take three or two years for him to show up and become famous. I didn't expect that it's only three months, which proves that what the gentleman said is true. Come, please go to the accountant and reward the gentleman fifty taels of silver." Jia Zheng said happily.
"Thank you, old man, for the reward." Zhan Guang was extremely happy.
As a down-and-out scholar with some talent, it is not easy to earn a living in the Jia family.
These days, there are many down-and-out literati. Scholars who don’t know how to run a business are often in poverty, let alone Tong Sheng?
Just like Fan Jin of the Ming Dynasty, he was still poor after becoming a scholar, until he became a scholar and became a master.
Although Zhan Guang is also a scholar, his talent is very different from that of Jia Baoyu and Jia Rong.
The latter is supported by a family background.
Now that he has some savings, he can also buy land. When he is old, he can study history, drink wine, raise children and teach his grandchildren at home. Is he happy?
Not to mention Mother Jia, there are a lot of people praising the old lady for her good fortune, hoping that her children and grandchildren will finally live up to her expectations.
Jia Mu also said: "I have long said that Baoyu's child is a man of great talent. Sooner or later the jade will shine brightly in the box. If you don't work hard, you will become a scholar. In the future, it will not be difficult to promote people and become scholars. "
"Yes, the ancestor's vision is the first," Mrs. Xing praised.
The entire Jia Mansion was filled with an atmosphere of joy.
Except for a few places.
For example, Jia She’s place.
"Jia Lian, look at your brother Baoyu. He can pass the exam as a scholar after just a few months of studying. You have been hanging out with maids since you were a child and have never studied hard. You are a waste! You can only rely on donations from your father. A fifth-grade fellow, come here and beat me!" Jia She called Jia Lian over and said angrily.
In fact, he is the real waste.
Anyway, Jia Lian is often out and about for the Jia family.
If Jia Lian had been foolish and filial in the past, he would have been beaten.
But things are different now. Wu Shanshan has taken possession of this man's body, how can he be beaten by others?
But she also knows who can make the decision in the Jia family.
And you can't openly resist Jia She. After all, this is a patriarchal society. If you dare to disobey me, I will be charged with disobedience, and you will be punished.
No evidence is needed, because letting me sue you proves that you are unfilial enough.
Any county magistrate will find you guilty.
He ran directly to Jia Mu's room.
"Rebellion, rebellion, how dare you run away!"
As you say, you can fight, but the other party can't escape?
Wu Shanshan has decided to let Jia She die tonight!
So, just when everyone was happy for Jia Baoyu, Jia She drank a few more drinks that night and suddenly fell ill in the middle of the night, so he went.
In one year, Jia Zhen died, Jia She died again, and two bosses of the Jia family died in a row.
However, two more talents were selected in a row.
People have nothing to say.
Some people say that this is because the elders blocked the way of the younger ones. As soon as the younger ones soared into the sky, the elders were killed.
With this rumor, we can know that Jia Baoyu and Jia Rong will never go smoothly in the officialdom.
Feudal officials were very superstitious and believed in rumors.
But the rumors really hit home, they died because they were in the way.
