Chapter 385: Weiyang (2)

Views:

All the way from Jiangning to the capital, the original plan was to try to prevent possible Jingkang. But the plan couldn't be changed in time. After the deciphering of the detective's situation, the main body of the original plan could not be handed over, and the rest of the matter was just some minor details, and it didn't matter whether it was explained or not.

At the beginning of the Wu Dynasty, there was not much hope for the role that physics and chemistry could play in later generations. Even if the stones of other mountains could attack jade, it would be difficult to reform for a while in this world lacking an industrial foundation. Seeing the decisive results, if people have a psychological dependence, it will even wear down the fighting spirit of the soldiers. Second, the Confucian system has a serious taboo on reform and technological revolution. This taboo is not expressed in words, but once the reform damages the interests, rejection will come in various ways. After the incident in Hangzhou, when Ning Yi was thinking about what he could do, the first choice technically was not gunpowder, but local steelmaking.

China has been transformed for 5,000 years, and it is broad and profound. That is to say, but when it comes to technology, such as metallurgy, after the technology has developed to a certain level and people feel that it is "enough", in the long millennium or even two thousand years, the technology of iron smelting may be small. A change in scope, but never a real technological revolution. And this small-scale technological change, to a large extent, may be due to the fact that blacksmiths cherish their brooms. If there is any powerful technique, it will not spread widely, and eventually disappear in the torrent of time, and new craftsmen have to study some new ones. skill.

Purely in terms of technological innovation, this self-sufficient and fertile land does not have the capacity to revive the old and accept the new. In the final analysis, it is because of the richness of this land that after the industrial revolution in the West, we received a huge slap in the face. If you look from the back to the front. Many historical angry youth clubs have said that the technological innovation of the Song and Ming Dynasties has already had the buds of the Industrial Revolution. In fact, this is just a self-conscious dream. After the initial formation of the domination pattern and domination of this land, it would be difficult to develop an industrial revolution around the 18th and 19th centuries if it was developed from scratch a thousand times. A nation without a sense of crisis will not seek change, but will only fear change. So there will be no change in the eighteenth century, and there may be in the eighteenth century.

Of course, even for Ning Yi, this was an incidental digression while thinking. But because of these, he has thought about many simple technological innovations that can be put in place in a short period of time. The first thing that comes to mind is local steelmaking. For a few years at the end of the 1950s, the earth blast furnaces scattered all over China did not have too many strict and profound technical requirements. That movement was criticized in later generations. After a lot of waste, thousands of More than one million tons of steel can only reach the industrial level of more than eight million tons. But if compared with the steel at this time, even if it is more than three million tons of scrap steel that cannot reach the industrial level, many indicators are far beyond the level of the Wu Dynasty at this time.

There is no need for high industrial standards here. I'm not afraid of a lot of waste. As long as I can open up an idea and find the right carbon content, I can at least mass-produce a good knife that takes half a year and a few months for blacksmiths to make a good knife. There are not many problems in using it for arming elite troops, but because the current Wu Dynasty army lacks not a good sword but military literacy, Ning Yi will conduct a preliminary experiment. It was still handed over to Lu Hongti.

On the other hand, although there is no such tragic lesson as the east factory and the west factory. But at this time, the upper levels were cautious about establishing a large-scale spy system, which can be seen from the constraints imposed by the Secret Investigation Division in many matters. If it weren't for the emergency, and there were many imperial relatives involved in the checks and balances, I am afraid that the secret investigation Sigen would not even have the power to act. It is also for this reason that the plan to develop a large-scale public opinion-oriented system based on Zhuji was impossible to support from the beginning.

First of all, the upper-level roots will not understand the significance of mobilizing the lower-level people. Conversely, this is more like the clue of a cult. And once it hangs under the name of the Secret Investigation Division, the expansion of this system will also lead to the uncontrollability of the Secret Investigation Division. For these reasons, Ning Yi decided to go it alone. This time, when he came here, the matter about Buxing was second. Even if he didn't intervene, after Tan'er came, he would have enough ability to push everything forward. What Ning Yi really needs to do is to think enough about Zhuji before leaving.

This time going north, Yunzhu and Jin'er did not bring any entourage with them. Because the first batch of personnel training is still in Jiangning at this time, this is something that has been prepared since Hangzhou returned to Jiangning. It is similar to the on-the-job training of later generations. Come to professionals who are already good enough to use. When Yunzhu and Jin'er make a decision here, in a month or two, the first batch of new and old employees will arrive in the capital and start preparing to participate in the work of the new store.

And even after that, the training on literacy, work skills, entrepreneurship, etc. will not end, and a strong enough evaluation, promotion, and mutual supervision mechanism will be established, so that everything can be done without the bosses such as Yunzhu and Jiner. Caregiving and participation will continue as normal. There is a basic framework for these things, and it's time to start building prototypes. On the other hand, if you want to prepare these things for localization, you naturally have to start referring to the various restaurants and brothels in the capital at this time.

These things are stuffed in my mind. Although Ning Yi seems to be leisurely in the daytime, he can chat with Cheng Zhouhai and others all day long, and he also proposed to Qin Shaoyu a plan to visit a store every day from tomorrow. Zhou Hai and others casually made an invitation of their peers. In fact, many things are still in his mind, and he has perfected his ideas from the words of Yao Zunian and Cheng Zhouhai. When he goes back in the evening, he has to write them out as the articles of association of the modern company and analyze them. Which ones are usable, which ones need to be changed, and which ones simply need to be removed. In a sense, it is like returning to the feeling when I started my business. Of course, if I do it all over again, although there are a lot of tedious things, everything is finally more familiar.

This afternoon, Qin Siyuan and Monk Jue Ming returned to the mansion, but they told Ning Yi about Zhou Pei. In recent days, this little county master has been busy with various visits. It is said that he is preparing to meet the queen mother, and he has no time to come to look for it. Ning Yi. But he saw Qin Siyuan twice. Earlier, I asked where Ning Yi lived, and this time I asked Qin Siyuan to ask for help. Two days later, there was a grand meeting at the Qingyang County Lord's Mansion, and I asked him if he would go to see it.

"Qingyang County Lord? Who is that?" Ning Yi didn't know the name.

"One of the most famous talented girls in Bianliang, the daughter of King Tan Jun, after she got married, her husband Liu Qingzhou also loved poetry. The husband and wife respected each other like guests and often met friends at home. Over time, the wood-picking garden in her home became It is one of the most famous meeting places, and those who used to be talented and learned. If Liheng is interested, you might as well go and have a look." Qin Siyuan explained with a smile. Then the monk Jue Ming smiled and added a few words. The owner of Qingyang County is his cousin, and Liu Qingzhou is also familiar with him.

"If you are interested. You can go shopping with the poor monk the day after tomorrow."

"I'm afraid I don't have time..." Ning Yi thought for a while, he thought he was not interested in this kind of poetry meeting, especially recently, he had prepared a lot of poems to use in Zhuji's branch, so he didn't want to waste it: "But , how is Xiao Pei recently?"

"It only took two or three days. I have convinced many people." Qin Siyuan laughed, "I heard that yesterday afternoon, the senior scholar in Chongwang's mansion strictly ordered the academics of the middle school entrance examination, and Zhou Pei answered it like a fluent. I am amazed by the four, but the poems are somewhat ingenious, which is also true. Everyone's favorite. Although it may be the special arrangement of the prince, but I want to come here for the past two days. Someone should be tempted to propose, haha."

Speaking of this. Qin Siyuan smiled happily. Zhou Pei's appearance is beautiful, and no one can deny that she is described as a beautiful woman. She has a lot of knowledge, and she has the status of a talented woman. In addition to her status in the family, who doesn't want to climb a little higher. Not out of line, it is a good object to marry. Zhou Pei was coming to the capital this time, and Kang Xian's goal was to make her find a favorite talent as a target. He must have also greeted Qin Siyuan and King Chong Zhou Ji about this matter, and asked them to help watch over it, lest Zhou Pei have too much fun and lose the sense of urgency.

"So, the Qingyang County Lord's poetry party also wants her to have more choices, right?"

Ning Yi said his thoughts with a smile, Qin Siyuan nodded: "Little girl has not been pushed recently, except for the Qingyang County Lord, I am afraid there are a lot of poetry gatherings that cannot be pushed away. Liheng, you are also hers. Teacher, it is also a matter for her to keep a check on her."

"If you want to say Junwu, I still recognize it. Qin Gong, you say Zhou Pei, this girl is quirky. She just taught her some arithmetic casually that day. She quarrelled with me all day long, and felt that I had ruined her brother. I am about the same age as her, so I will not participate in the marriage, so as not to hate me for the rest of my life in the future... If I say, these things should be checked by the elderly. "

"Being a teacher for one day and a father for the rest of your life, there is no age. Zhou Pei has always admired Liheng you." Qin Siyuan smiled and waved his hand, "Not to mention that there are so many things to do every day, haha, there is no time to participate in these procrastinations. The matter of the younger generation. If the monk is free then, please help take care of it."

After all, it was a trivial matter, and Qin Siyuan didn't say too much for the poetry meeting of the Qingyang county magistrate. Of course, the few people present did not know that Zhou Pei had already preached to a group of friends in the capital that the master of Jiangning's first talented master, although it was a little understatement when he talked to Qin Siyuan, in fact, he was worried about the master in his heart. Will the past poems support her

Ning Yi, who still has a lot of things to do, naturally has no more time to waste on boring poetry meetings. After leaving the Qin Mansion, it was evening again. When I returned to the Huilou, I noticed that Yunzhu and the others were not looking right. They seemed to be in a low mood. But she still looked very energetic, but her face was gloomy. When she saw him, she seemed to have no strength and walked away. When asked what happened to Xiaochan, she only said that everyone was tired from going out for shopping in the afternoon, and then showed a happy expression. smile.

Xiaochan couldn't hide her emotions from Ning Yi. After dinner in the evening, Ning Yi called Su Yu over and asked about everyone going out during the day. came out.

It was still in the morning, Ning Yi went to Qin Mansion, while Yun Zhu and others still had to go out to buy things. The family followed them all the way. When they passed by the street they passed yesterday, they saw a corpse.

The situation seemed to be that the government was handling a case, and fished up a body in a sack from a small river. The mouth of the sack had been loosened, and there was even blood flowing after it was picked up. Obviously, the person in the bag died soon. It was a full-body woman's corpse. At that time, many people were watching, and it was said that it was the time when the corpse was thrown. before dawn.

Walking on the street and seeing a female corpse from a murder case is not a reason to let people lose their spirits all day long, but in Su Yu's hesitant tone, Ning Yi probably understood that it contained a corpse. There are still some broken steps, head scarves and other things in the bag of the corpse. The appearance of the corpse is also intact. The person who dumped the corpse did not care that the family would recognize the identity of the corpse. Su Yu watched it at the time. In my heart, I was thinking that this woman is very similar to the woman who was stopped by Gao Yanei and molested in the alley yesterday. Although she was only looking at it from a distance at the time, she had at least a rough idea of the shape of her face and the color of her turban.

"At that time, Miss Nie, Miss Yuan, and Xiaochan didn't say anything. But... I guess they guessed the same way..." Su Yu frowned, "Before she died... she suffered a lot of abuse and torture. Her... Her... There was even a stick inserted there, we didn't look at it much, and then, not long after noon... we came back... "

Ning Yi opened his mouth. But in the end he couldn't say anything, he rubbed his mouth and was silent for a long time. I remembered what Cheng Zhouhai and others said when they went to Qin Mansion in the morning. Probably got it. After Qin Shaoyu went back, he told Yao Zunian and others about the encounter with Gao Muen. Yao Zunian, Ji Kun, Cheng Zhouhai and others may have done an investigation through the Secret Investigation Division. If the order is given at night, the first piece of information will probably come back the next morning. Cheng Zhouhai scolded the Taiwei's mansion for being lawless, for that woman. The Secret Investigation Division... It may be that the matter can be found when the body is thrown in the Taiwei's Mansion, and there is another possibility that the Secret Investigation Division may find out the matter when the Taiwei's Mansion starts that night, but this is meaningless. Even if it is found, the Secret Investigation Division cannot intervene. This situation is probably the most frustrating.

In this sense, it is also correct to put the system of public opinion propaganda into the secret investigation department for implementation.

On top of this, Ning Yi can even extend a part. With Gao Muen's character, he should not take that woman to heart. Taiwei Gao Qiu didn't care that his son played with women, but he must add an insurance to prevent him from touching people he shouldn't touch. This insurance should be the people who were arranged by his side. In that alley, Lu Qian stopped Gao Yanei from blocking people in the street, but when he returned home like this, Gao Yanei's temper was on him, and he couldn't stand it either. So it was Lu Qian who was really responsible for taking that woman away. It's not that you can't play, it's just that you can't play with problems. This person has the measure, ability and means, so it is no wonder that he can make Lin Chong so miserable.

He sat there thinking about these things, Su Yu sat aside, and didn't dare to breathe, because suddenly, the second brother-in-law in front of him seemed to suddenly become very gloomy. But after a while, the gloom dissipated, and Ning Yi looked over: "Speaking of which, you were with Jin'er, and you were courteous on the way... Uh, did you have a chat?"

Unexpectedly, Ning Yi suddenly mentioned this, Su Yu was stunned for a while: "This... Because that happened, and Miss Yuan doesn't seem to be emotionally speaking... She, she feels a little bit avoiding me, but maybe... "

"Well, let's not talk about this, they are a little uncomfortable because of this, you already know that."

"Um."

"Then what are you waiting for, Jin'er is not in a high mood, go and comfort him."

"Uh... but... "

"Take the opportunity, there is no but. If there is no topic, find a topic. If she doesn't comfort you, you can comfort her." Ning Yi patted him on the shoulder, "That's how it is to pick a girl, don't be so self-conscious, listen to me. "

"… Oh."

Su Yu was hesitant to speak, his expression was a little hesitant, but it finally passed. Ning Yi sat there and thought about it, in fact, whether it was Yunzhu or Jin'er, it wasn't that he had never seen a person in the dark, even if it was a brothel like Jinfenglou, in which year few dead women were secretly stolen. Carrying it out, this kind of thing happened in front of me, even Ning Yi would not feel happy, there will always be a feeling of being held back by something in my heart, but if you see such a thing, you have to do it for the sky, Even in the Taiwei's Mansion, Ning Yi admitted that there was no such thing for the time being, and Yunzhu and Jin'er naturally wouldn't have such expectations. More, I'm afraid it was because the woman was stared at yesterday. It is inevitable that there will be some sense of fear and pain of pushing oneself and others.

This kind of feeling is very bad, but Ning Yi thought about it and didn't know how to comfort it. If he was as powerful as Lu Hongti, he might be able to kill Lu Qian and Gao Yanai tonight and take off Gao Qiu's head. Unfortunately, such a thing can only be thought about for the time being.

If there is a chance to get Gao Qiu to be crushed to death in a political struggle... He pouted and thought for a while. Then he went into the courtyard at the back of the inn, and was going to chat with Yunzhu, but Yunzhu was not found in the courtyard, and then he met Su Yu, and Dao Jin'er was not found either.

"Maybe it's a walk nearby, let's go for a walk."

This Huilou occupies a large area, and the courtyard at the rear is dedicated to the living of the identities, and is also equipped with a pond garden. Ning Yi walked all the way to the garden, but saw a woman sitting at a round table in the garden in front of her, holding her chin on her back, under the orange light from the lantern, she didn't know what she was thinking. This slightly lonely look came from Jin'er. It's a little surprising. She had obviously seen Ning Yi when he came in, but at this moment, she still held her chin and looked at him indifferently. Ning Yi originally walked all the way in as he came in. At this time, he walked forward with his hands behind his back, and then... walked around a rockery under Jin'er's gaze, and left in the direction he was coming from.

On the road, I met Su Yu again, and the other party was excited. Exchange information with Ning Yi: "I met Xiaochan and Miss Nie just now, and they went back to the room."

"Jin'er is in the garden, comfort her well."

"Uh, okay..."

Speaking of Jin. Su Yu was still a little embarrassed, Ning Yi shook his head and cursed the rookie. Although the experience of picking up girls in my previous life was a bit rough, I got this time. It must be very powerful, and there is a very powerful self guiding here. To be so timid, I feel a little uneducated... When he went back all the way to the courtyard where Yunzhu lived, the other party was sitting under the eaves and gave him a gentle smile. It seemed that he had solved the problem in his heart. waiting for his arrival.

"I heard Su Yu talk about what happened in the morning." Ning Yi put his arms around her shoulders and sat down beside her.

"It's nothing, I just remembered that we met yesterday, and I'm a little scared." Yunzhu forced a smile and rested his head on his shoulder, "Liheng, you said that woman may be the one we met yesterday. That one? It looks like it... but it's not for sure, right?"

"Yeah, but if it's true, the person who started it is the Yuhou Lu Qian next to Gao Yanei."

"Um?"

"It's the guy who persuaded Gao Yanei in the alley. As a servant of the Taiwei's house, he can't let this matter spread too badly, but he stopped Gao Yanei from doing things, and he was the one who was blamed when he went back, so the best The practice is to arrest people at night..."

Ning Yi's tone was a little light, and he repeated the reasoning mechanically. At this time, no matter what you say to relax your heart, you can't change what has happened. He is Yunzhu's man. Although he can use the feelings between the two to temporarily suppress Yunzhu's thoughts, he can't stop Yunzhu after all. After thinking about it, I simply made the matter a little more mechanized, expanded the involvement of the matter, and made the atmosphere a little colder, which may instead play down the tragic mood.

He sat there and said indifferently for a long time, who is the mastermind and who is the accomplice, who is the cause and who is the means, who is shameless and who feels innocent. After saying this, he sat for a while with the woman beside him.

At the same moment, in the garden not too far apart, a scene was happening.

One by one lanterns spread under the corridor, casting yellow lights, and in the garden, fireflies fluttered sparsely on the water. Next to the stone table, a man and a woman did not know what they were talking about. Su Yu stood up, took two steps back, lowered his head and spoke softly. On the other side of the table, the woman held her chin and put her fingers on her lips. She didn't look at Su Yu, but her expression was a little arrogant and her eyes were cold. It's not easy to have such an expression on Yuan Jin'er, who has always been lively, but Su Yu, who was the party involved, didn't feel angry or hurt because of her arrogant and somewhat cold face, which was held high, with tears in her eyes. flow down.

"But what happened to Jin'er? It seems to have a lot of opinions on me..."

Time passed quietly. After a long time, in the courtyard here, Ning Yi changed the subject.

Yunzhu laughed: "You don't know? Of course I will have an opinion on you..."

"I didn't do anything..." Ning Yi can probably understand why he is hated, but things like matchmakers are often misunderstood, which is not surprising. Anyway, in the end, the other party should understand him. enough. He thought so.

After Ning Yi's grunt, Yunzhu was silent for a moment, then showed a slightly serious look, and said to him: "Liheng, I want to tell you about Jin'er..."

"Um."

Ning Yi nodded, Yunzhu was about to speak when a voice suddenly came from behind: "Ning Liheng, come out."

The tone was a bit blunt and decisive, and when she turned around, Yuan Jin'er, who was wearing a goose-yellow dress, stood at the gate of the courtyard over there, looking over here, like a fighting stance, raising her chin arrogantly.

Bad tone.
