Coming all the way from Jiangning to the capital, the original plan was to try to do something to prevent possible Jingkang. However, the plan could not be changed. After roughly understanding the situation of the Secret Investigation Department, the main body of the originally prepared plan could not be handed over. The rest of the matter
In other words, it doesn't really matter whether it's some side details or not.
When the Wu Dynasty first came to China, they did not have high expectations for the role that physics and chemistry could play in later generations. Even though stones from other mountains could attack jade, in a world that lacked an industrial foundation, reform was difficult to achieve for a while.
Seeing decisive results, if people develop a dependence mentality, it will further weaken the fighting spirit of the soldiers. Secondly,
The Confucian system seriously taboos reform and technological revolution. This taboo is not expressed in words, but once reform harms interests, rejection will come in various ways. After the incident in Hangzhou was over, when Ning Yi thought about what he could do
At that time, the first choice in technology was no longer gunpowder, but indigenous steelmaking.
China has been a country for five thousand years, and it is profound and profound. It is said that, but when it comes to technology, such as metallurgy, when the technology develops to a certain level and the people feel that it is "enough", in a long period of one thousand or even two thousand years,
, iron smelting technology may undergo small-scale changes, but never
A technological revolution in the true sense. And this small-scale technological change may be largely due to the fact that blacksmiths cherish their brooms. If there are any powerful techniques, they will definitely not spread widely and will eventually be lost in the torrent of time.
Talents have no choice but to study new skills.
Purely in terms of technological innovation, this self-sufficient and fertile land does not have the capacity to learn from its past and adopt new ones. Its imprint is more of being entrenched and complacent. In the final analysis, it is because of the fertility of this land that after the Industrial Revolution in the West,
, we received a huge slap in the face. If we look from the back to the front, many angry young people in history will say that the technological innovations in the Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty have already given birth to the seeds of the industrial revolution.
In fact, this is just a dream talk about feeling good about yourself. After the ruling pattern and domination of this land have been initially formed, and it develops from scratch a thousand times, it will be difficult for the industrial revolution to appear around the 18th and 19th centuries. If it were not for the invasion of foreign nations,
, it must be internal division and waste. A nation without a sense of crisis will not seek change, but will only be afraid of change. Therefore, there will be no change in the 18th century, but it may be possible in the 80th century.
Of course, even for Ning Yi, this was a casual digression in his thinking. But because of these, he had thought about many simple technological innovations that could be implemented in a short time. The first thing that came to mind was indigenous steelmaking.
In the past few years in the late 1950s, the earthen blast furnaces scattered all over China were not very strict.
As for the profound technical requirements, that movement has been criticized in later generations. After a lot of waste, only more than 8 million tons of more than 11 million tons of steel could reach the industrial level. But compared with the steel at this time
Comparatively, even with more than three million tons of scrap steel that cannot reach industrial standards, many indicators far exceed the levels of the Wu Dynasty at this time.
There is no need for high industrial standards here. We are not afraid of much waste. As long as we can open up an idea and find the appropriate carbon content, we can at least mass-produce one. At this time, it took the blacksmiths half a year and several months to make one.
There is not much problem if a good sword is used to arm elite troops. However, since what the Wu Dynasty's army currently lacks is not good swords but military literacy, Ning Yi still handed over the preliminary experiments to Lu Hongti.
On the other hand, although there is no such painful lesson as Dongchang and West Factory, the upper management at this time is cautious about establishing a large-scale espionage system. It can be seen from the constraints that the Secret Intelligence Department has received in many matters.
It can be seen that if the situation was not urgent and many relatives of the emperor were involved in checks and balances, I am afraid that the secret agent would not even have the power to act. Therefore, the plan to develop a large-scale public opinion guidance system based on Zhuji has been developed from scratch.
It's impossible to get support in the first place.
First of all, the upper-level people will not understand the significance of mobilizing the lower-level people. On the contrary, this is more like the clues of a cult. Once it is under the name of the Secret Investigation Department, the expansion of this system will also lead to the inability of the Secret Investigation Department.
Control. Because of these reasons, Ning Yi decided
Go it alone. This time, things related to the cloth are still secondary. Even if he doesn't intervene, Tan'er will have enough ability to push everything forward after he comes. What Ning Yi really wants to do is to deal with Zhu before leaving.
Remember the things and do enough thinking.
This time when they went north, Yunzhu and Jin'er did not bring any accompanying persons with them. Because the first batch of personnel training was still in Jiangning at this time. This was something they had been preparing for since returning to Jiangning from Hangzhou, similar to that of later generations.
On-the-job training is enough to train professionals who are ready to be used in two or three months. When Yunzhu and Jin'er settle down here, a month or two later, the first batch of new and old people will
Half of the 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, and entrepreneurialization will not end. A strong enough evaluation, promotion, and mutual supervision mechanism will be established to make everything possible even without bosses like Yunzhu and Jin'er.
Care and participation can be carried out as usual. Regarding the basic structure of these things, you can start to build prototypes at this time. On the other hand, if you want to prepare these things for localization, you naturally have to start referring to what is happening in the capital at this time.
Various restaurants and brothels.
These things are stuffed in my mind. Although Ning Yi seems to be leisurely during the day, he can chat with Cheng Zhouhai and others all day long. He also proposed to Qin Shaoyu a plan to visit a store every day starting from tomorrow. In the year of Yaozu, Cheng
Zhou Hai and others casually mentioned the invitation to travel together. In fact, many things were still spinning in his mind. From the time of Yao Zu, Cheng Zhouhai and other well-informed people
After finishing the idea in the words, I went back at night and wrote out the articles of association of a modern company, analyzing which ones can be used, which ones need to be changed, and which ones should be deleted altogether. In a sense, it is like going back to when I started my business.
In terms of feeling, of course, if we do it again, although there are a lot of tedious things, everything will finally be much more familiar.
That afternoon, Qin Siyuan and Monk Jueming returned to the mansion, but they told Ning Yi about Zhou Pei. In the past few days, the little princess had been busy with various visits, and it was said that she was preparing to meet the Queen Mother, so she had no time to come over.
Ning Yi met Qin Siyuan twice. He asked Qin Siyuan where Ning Yi lived earlier. This time he asked Qin Siyuan to ask for help. Two days later, there was a grand meeting at the Qingyang County Lord's Mansion, and he asked if he would go and see it.
.
"Lord of Qingyang County? Who is that?" Ning Yi didn't know the name.
"One of the most famous talented women in Bianliang, the daughter of Prince Tan. After she got married, her husband Liu Qingzhou was also good at poetry. The couple respected each other as guests and often met friends at home. Over time, the wood-picking garden in her home became
One of the most famous meeting places
First, those in the past were all talented and learned. If Li Heng is interested, you might as well go over and have a look." Qin Siyuan explained with a smile. Then the monk Jueming next to him also smiled and added a few words, he is the lord of Qingyang County.
Cousin Liu Qingzhou is also familiar with him.
"If you are interested, you can go there with the poor monk the day after tomorrow."
"I'm afraid I don't have time..." Ning Yi thought for a moment. He probably lacked interest in this kind of poetry meeting, especially recently. He had prepared a lot of poetry to be used at Zhuji's branch and was too lazy to waste it: "
But how is Xiaopei doing lately?"
"It only took two or three days to convince many people." Qin Siyuan laughed, "I heard that yesterday afternoon, the academicians in Prince Chong's mansion strictly ordered the high school entrance examination knowledge, and Zhou Pei answered fluently. Everyone was amazed, even though the poems were somewhat ingenious, this is also
Everyone’s favorite. Although it may be a special arrangement by the prince, I think someone should be tempted to propose marriage in these two days, haha.”
Speaking of this, Qin Siyuan smiled happily. Zhou Pei is beautiful. No one can deny that she is a beautiful woman. With her extraordinary knowledge, she has the status of a talented woman. With her family status, who doesn't want to be high up? Poetry
The craftsmanship shows that this woman's character is not out of the ordinary.
A good candidate for a wife. Zhou Pei is coming to the capital this time, and the goal given by Kang Xian is to find her a suitable talent as a partner. He must have informed Qin Siyuan and Chong Wang Zhou Ji about this matter and asked them to help
Keep an eye on it to prevent Zhou Pei from having too much fun and losing the sense of urgency.
"So, the Qingyang County Master's poetry meeting also wants her to have more choices, right?"
Ning Yi said his thoughts with a smile, and Qin Siyuan nodded: "The little girl has nothing to reject recently. In addition to Qingyang County Lord, I am afraid there are a lot of poetry gatherings that cannot be rejected. Li Heng, you can be considered hers.
Teacher, it’s your duty to keep a check on her.”
"I still recognize Jun Wu. Mr. Qin, tell me about Zhou Pei. This girl is weird. I just taught her some arithmetic. She kept quarreling with me all day long, and she even thought that I had brought her brother down.
I'm about the same age as her, so I won't be involved in the marriage, so as not to hate me forever in the future... I would say, it's better for the elderly to take care of these things."
"Once you are a teacher, you are always a father. There is no age. Zhou Pei has always admired you, Li Heng." Qin Siyuan smiled and waved his hand, "Besides, Xiangri is always busy, haha, how can you have time to attend to these procrastinating things?
It's a junior matter. If the monk is free then, please help take care of it."
After all, it was a trivial matter, and Qin Siyuan did not say much more about Qingyang County Lord’s poetry meeting. Of course, those present would not know that Zhou Pei had already spread the word about Jiangning’s most talented master among a group of friends in the capital.
It was amazing. Although it was a bit understated when I talked to Qin Siyuan, in fact, I was worried about whether Master would go over and give her poems to 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, and when he returned to the Hui Tower, he noticed that the expressions on Yunzhu and others were all different.
Something is not right, the mood seems a little low, Jin'er doesn't seem like it
In the morning, she looked at him coldly but still very energetic, but her face became gloomy. When she saw him, she walked away as if she had no energy. When asked what happened to Xiaochan, she just said that they were going shopping in the afternoon.
When I was tired from shopping, I showed a happy smile.
Xiaochan couldn't hide her emotions from Ning Yi. After dinner in the evening, Ning Yi called Su Yu over and asked about what happened when everyone went out during the day. Su Yu didn't dare to hide it from him, so she told him what she saw.
came out.
It was still in the morning, Ning Yi went to Qin Mansion, while Yunzhu and others still had to go out to buy things. Their family members followed them all the way. When they passed by the street they passed yesterday, they saw a body.
It looked like the government was handling a case, and a body in a sack was fished out of the river. The mouth of the sack was loose, and there was even blood flowing after it was fished out. It was obvious that the person in the bag had died not long ago. Then
It was the body of a woman, and many people gathered around to look at it. It is said that the time for dumping the body was before dawn.
Walking on the street, seeing a female corpse from a murder case was not a reason to feel depressed all day long, but from Su Yu's hesitant tone, Ning Yi roughly understood that the corpse was pretending to be a corpse.
In the bag, there are still some broken pieces, headscarves and other things, and the appearance of the body is also intact.
, the person who dumped the body did not care whether the family members would identify the body. Su Yu looked at it at that time and thought in his heart, this woman is very similar to the woman who was stopped by Gao Yanei in the alley yesterday and molested. Although at that time,
I can only see it from a distance, but I can at least get a rough idea of the shape of the face and the color of the headscarf.
"Although Miss Nie, Miss Yuan and Xiaochan didn't say anything at the time, I guess they guessed the same thing..." Su Yu frowned, "That woman... suffered a lot of abuse and torture before she died.
She...her...there was even a stick stuck there, but we didn't look at it much. Later, 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. He remembered what Cheng Zhouhai and others said when he went to Qin Mansion in the morning. He probably understood. After Qin Shaoyu returns, he will encounter
Gao Muen's matter was told to Yao Zunian and others. Yao Zunian, Ji Kun, Cheng Zhouhai and others may have conducted an investigation through the Secret Investigation Department. If the order was given at night, the first information would be available the next morning
I'm afraid he can come back. Cheng Zhouhai scolded the Taiwei Mansion for being lawless, and he came here to target that woman. The Secret Investigation Department...may have been able to find out the matter when the corpse was dumped in the Taiwei Mansion, and there is another possibility.
The Secret Investigation Department might have found out about this when the Taiwei Mansion took action that night, but this was meaningless. Even if it was found out, the Secret Investigation Department couldn't get involved. This situation is probably the most frustrating.
In this sense, it is correct to put the system that does not focus on public opinion propaganda into the Secret Investigation Division.
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 doesn't care about his son playing with women, but he must add an insurance to avoid
He touched someone he shouldn't have touched, and this insurance should be the people who were arranged around him. In that alley
At that time, Lu Qian stopped Gao Yanei from blocking people in the street, but when he returned home, Gao Yanei's temper was turned on him, and he couldn't bear it. So it was Lu Qian who was really responsible for taking the woman away. It's not that he can't play.
, just can't cause problems. This person has sense, ability and means, so it's no wonder that he can make Lin Chong so miserable.
He sat there thinking about these things. Su Yu sat aside, not daring to breathe, because suddenly, the second brother-in-law in front of him seemed to suddenly become very gloomy. But after a while, the gloominess dissipated, Ning Yi
He looked over and said, "Speaking of which, you accompanied Jin'er there and showed your courtesy on the way... uh, did you two chat?"
Unexpectedly, Ning Yi suddenly mentioned this. Su Yu was stunned for a long time: "Well... because that thing happened, and Miss Yuan seemed to be in no mood to speak... She, she seemed to be avoiding me, but maybe...
…”
"Okay, let's not talk about this. They feel a little uncomfortable because of this, and you already know that."
"Um."
"Then what are you waiting for? Jin'er is not in a good mood. Go and comfort her."
"Uh...but..."
"Seize the opportunity, no buts. If you don't have a topic, just find a topic. If she doesn't comfort you, just comfort her." Ning Yi patted his shoulder, "That's what picking up girls is like. Don't be so face-conscious, just listen to me."
"
"……oh."
Su Yu hesitated and hesitated, but finally passed it. Ning Yi sat there and thought about it, in fact, Yunzhu or Jin'er, it's not that he has never seen people with dark society, even Jin Feng
In a brothel like this building, there are not many dead women who are secretly carried out every year. If such a thing happens in front of you, even Ning Yi will not feel happy.
There is a feeling of being held back by something in the General Conference, but if you see such a thing, you will have to do something for heaven, even in the Taiwei Mansion. Ning Yi thinks that it is not a problem for the time being, Yunzhu and Jin
Naturally, my son would not have such expectations. What's more, I'm afraid it's because yesterday the woman was targeted and she was also targeted. It's inevitable that there is a sense of fear and pain that extends to others.
This feeling is very bad, but Ning Yi thought about it and didn't know how to comfort him. If he was as powerful as Lu Hongti, he might be able to kill Lu Qian and Gao Yanei tonight and take off Gao Qiu's penis.
Human heads. Unfortunately, we can only think about such things for the time being.
It would be nice if there was a chance that Gao Qiu could be crushed to death in a political struggle... He curled his lips and thought about it for a while. Then he went into the courtyard behind the inn and prepared to chat with Yunzhu, but Yunzhu was not found in the courtyard.
, and then met Su Yu again, but Dao Jin'er was not found either.
"Maybe I went for a walk nearby. Let's go shopping."
This Huilou occupies a large area, and the courtyard at the back is reserved for people of high status, and is also equipped with a pond and garden. Ning Yi walked all the way to the garden, but saw a woman holding her chin at a round table in the garden in front of her.
Sitting, in the orange light shed by the lantern, I don't know what I am thinking. This slightly lonely look comes from Jin
Son. It's really a bit surprising. She had obviously seen Ning Yi when he came in. At this time, she was still holding her chin and looking here indifferently. Ning Yi came in as if he was walking all the way. At this time
He put his hands behind his back and walked forward, and then... while Jin'er watched, he walked around a rockery and left in the direction he came from.
On the way, I met Su Yu again. He exchanged information with Ning Yi excitedly: "I just met Xiaochan and Miss Nie. They went back to their room."
"Jin'er is in the garden, please comfort her."
"Uh, okay..."
Speaking of Jin'er, Su Yu was still a little stunned. Ning Yi shook his head and secretly cursed the rookie. Although his experience in picking up girls in his previous life was a bit rough, but now, he must be very powerful. He has a very powerful self.
Guidance here. Surprisingly
Still being so timid, he felt a bit like an unteachable child... He returned all the way, and when he arrived at the courtyard where Yunzhu lived, he was sitting under the eaves, giving 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 arm around her shoulders and sat down next to her.
"It's nothing, I just remembered that we also met yesterday, and I was a little scared." Yunzhu smiled reluctantly and rested his head on his shoulder, "Li Heng, the woman you said may be the one we met yesterday.
That one? Although it looks similar...but we can’t be sure, right?”
"Yeah, but if it's true, the person who did it was the Marquis of Yu, Lu Qian, who was next to Gao Yanei."
"Um?"
"It was the guy who persuaded Gao Yanei in the alley. As a servant of the Taiwei Mansion, he couldn't let this matter spread too badly, but he was the one who stopped Gao Yanei from doing things and was blamed after he returned, so it's best
The method is to arrest people at night..."
Ning Yi's tone was a little light, and he explained the reasoning in a mechanical way. At this time, no matter how much he said to relax, he could not change what had happened. He was Yunzhu's man, so he could use the two of them to do it.
The emotions in Yunzhu's heart temporarily suppressed Yunzhu's thoughts, but in the end it still couldn't stop Yunzhu from thinking about it later, so he simply made the matter a little more mechanized, expanded the involvement of the matter, and made the atmosphere cooler, which might make it more diluted.
Tragic emotion.
He sat there and talked for a long time in a cold tone, who was the mastermind and who was the accomplice, who was the cause and who was the means, who was shameless and who felt innocent. After saying this, he sat for a while hugging the woman next to him.
At the same moment, a scene was happening in the garden not too far away.
One after another, lanterns spread across the corridor, casting yellow lights. In the garden, the light of fireflies sparsely danced on the water. Beside the stone table, a man and a woman did not know what they were talking about. Su Yu stood up and stepped back.
He took two steps, lowered his head and spoke softly. On the other side of the table, the woman held her chin and covered her lips with her fingers. She did not look up.
Xiang Su Yu only looked a little arrogant and had cold eyes. It was not easy for the always lively Yuan Jin'er to have such a look, but Su Yu, as the person involved, did not feel angry or hurt because of this, because in her case
Tears were streaming down the face that was held high, looking arrogant and somewhat cold.
"What's wrong with Jin'er? She seems to have a problem with me..."
Time passed quietly. After a long time, in the courtyard here, Ning Yi changed the topic.
Yunzhu laughed: "You don't know? Of course I will have objections to you..."
"I didn't do anything..." Ning Yi can probably understand why he is hated, but matchmakers are often misunderstood, which is not surprising. Anyway, in the end, the other party should understand him.
That's enough. He thought so.
After Ning Yi's mumbling, Yunzhu was silent for a moment, then showed a slightly serious look and said to him: "Li Heng, I want to tell you about Jin'er..."
"Um."
Ning Yi nodded. Just as Yunzhu was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Ning Liheng, come out."
The tone was a bit stiff and decisive. When he turned around, Yuan Jin'er, wearing a goose-yellow dress, was standing at the door of the courtyard over there, looking over here, as if in a fighting posture, raising her chin proudly.
