son-in-law

Chapter 392 Wei Young ([-])

From Jiangning all the way to the capital, the original plan was to try to do something to prevent possible Jingkang.But the plan can't be changed in time. After getting a general understanding of the situation of the secret investigation department, the main body of the plan that was originally prepared cannot be handed over, and the remaining things are just some side details.

When I first came to the Wu Dynasty, I didn't have too much hope for the role of physics and chemistry in later generations. Even though stones from other mountains can be used to make jade, but in this world that lacks an industrial foundation, it is difficult to reform for a while. Seeing decisive results, if people have a dependent mentality, it will wear down the soldiers' fighting spirit even more.Second, the Confucian system seriously taboos reform and technological revolution. This taboo is not manifested in words, but once reform harms interests, rejection will come in various ways.After the incident in Hangzhou was over, when Ning Yi was thinking about what he could do, the first choice technically was not gunpowder, but indigenous steelmaking.

China's 5000-year-old culture is extensive and profound.That is to say, but when it comes to technology, such as metallurgy, when the technology has developed to a certain level and the people feel that it is "enough", in the long millennium or even 2000 years, the technology of iron smelting may have a small impact. A change in scope, but never a true technological revolution.And this small-scale technological change is largely due to the self-preservation of blacksmiths. If there is any powerful technique, it will not spread widely, and will eventually be lost in the torrent of time. 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 learn from the old and learn from the new. Its imprint is more of being self-confident and self-sufficient.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.Looking forward, many historical cynics would talk about the technological innovations of the Song and Ming dynasties, and the beginnings of the industrial revolution. In fact, this is nothing but a self-conscious dream.After the initial formation of the ruling structure and ruling culture of this land, it would be difficult for the industrial revolution to occur around the 89th century if it was developed a thousand times from scratch.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 eighteenth century, and it may be possible in the eighty century.

Of course, even for Ning Yi, this is an incidental digression in thinking.But because of these, he has thought about many simple technological innovations that can be put in place in a short time. The first thing he thought of was indigenous steelmaking.In the few years at the end of the 50s, the soil blast furnaces all over the land of China did not have too many strict and profound technical requirements. That movement was criticized in later generations. After a lot of waste, more than 100 Only more than 800 million tons of steel can reach the industrial level.But if compared with the steel at this time, even if it is more than 300 million tons of scrap steel that cannot reach the industrial level, many indicators will far exceed the level of the Wu Dynasty at this time.

There is no need for high industrial standards here, and we are not afraid of too much waste. As long as we can open up a way of thinking and find the right carbon content, at least we can mass-produce the blacksmiths at this time. There is not much problem with using a good sword to arm the elite troops, but because what the Wu Dynasty army lacks is not a good sword but military literacy, Ning Yi handed over the preliminary experiment to Lu Hongti.

On the other hand, although there are no such painful lessons as the East Factory and the West Factory, the upper echelon at this time is cautious about establishing a large-scale spy system. figure it out.If the situation wasn't urgent and there were many relatives of the royal family participating in the check and balance, I'm afraid the secret investigation department wouldn't even have the power to act.It is also because of this that the plan to develop a large-scale public opinion-oriented system based on Zhu Ji could not be supported from the beginning.

First of all, the upper echelons simply don't understand the significance of mobilizing the lower echelons. On the contrary, this is more like the clues of a cult.And once it is under the name of the secret investigation department, the expansion of this system will also make the secret investigation department uncontrollable.For these reasons, Ning Yi decided to go it alone.This time, the matters related to Buxing are still secondary. Even if he doesn't intervene, after Tan'er comes over, he has enough ability to push everything forward.What Ning Yi really wants to do is to think enough about Zhuji before leaving.

This time going north, Yunzhu and Jin'er didn't bring any entourage with them.Because the first batch of personnel training is still being carried out in Jiangning at this time. This is something that has been preparing since Hangzhou returned to Jiangning. It is similar to the induction training for later generations. Professionals who are ready 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, corporate culture, etc. will not end, and a strong enough mechanism for evaluation, promotion, and mutual supervision will be established, so that all things can be done even without the supervision of bosses like Yunzhu and Jiner. Care and participation can continue as usual.With the basic structure of these things, 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 various restaurants and brothels in the capital at that time.

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 tomorrow. Zhou Hai and the others casually proposed an invitation to travel with them.In fact, many things are still spinning in his mind. He perfected his ideas from the words of Yao Zunian and Cheng Zhouhai, who are well-informed. When he goes back at night, he has to write out a copy as the articles of association of the modern company and analyze it. Which ones can be used, which ones need to be changed, and which ones should be deleted altogether.In a sense, it's like returning to the feeling when I started my business. Of course, if I do it all over again, although there are many cumbersome things, everything will be much more familiar.

This afternoon Qin Yuyuan and Monk Jueming returned to the mansion, but they talked about Zhou Pei to Ning Yi. In recent days, the little princess has been busy with various visits. Ning Yi, but met Qin Yuyuan twice.Earlier, I asked where Ning Yi lived, and this time I asked Qin Yuyuan for help. Two days later, there was a grand meeting in Qingyang County Lord's Mansion, and I asked him if he would go to see it.

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

"One of the most famous talented women in Bianliang, the daughter of King Tan Jun. After she got married, her husband Liu Qingzhou was also good at poetry and prose. It has become one of the most famous venues for cultural gatherings, and those in the past are all talented and learned. If Li Heng is interested, you might as well go and have a look." Qin Yuyuan explained with a smile.Then the monk Jueming next to him also added a few words with a smile. The Lord of Qingyang County is his cousin, and Liu Qingzhou is also familiar with him.

"If you are interested, you can go for a walk 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 lacked interest in this kind of poetry and essays. Especially recently, he prepared a lot of poems for use in Zhuji's branch, and he was too lazy to waste: "However, how is Xiaopei recently?"

"In just two or three days, many people have been convinced." Qin Yuyuan laughed, "I heard that yesterday afternoon, the senior scholar in Chongwang's Mansion strictly ordered the high school entrance examination to study, and Zhou Pei's answers were fluent and amazing. Everyone's favorite. Although it may be the prince's special arrangement, but in the past two days, someone should be tempted to propose marriage, haha."

Speaking of this, Qin Yuyuan smiled happily.Zhou Pei has a beautiful appearance, no one can deny that she is described as a beauty, she has the status of a talented woman because of her extraordinary knowledge, plus her status in the family, who would not want to climb up a bit, her poetry and craftsmanship, on the contrary, it shows the character of this woman Not out of the ordinary, it is a good target for a wife.Zhou Pei is going to come to the capital this time, and the goal given by Kang Xian is to let her find a favorite talent as a partner.Qin Yuyuan and Chongwang Zhou Ji must have been informed about this matter, and asked them to help keep an eye on it, so that Zhou Pei would not have too much fun and lose the sense of urgency.

"In this way, the Qingyang County Lord's poetry meeting also wants her to have more choices?"

Ning Yi said his thoughts with a smile, and Qin Yuyuan nodded: "Little girl has nothing to push recently, except for Qingyang County Lord, I'm afraid there are still a lot of poetry gatherings that can't be pushed away. Li Heng, you are also her." It's my duty to watch over her, my teacher."

"If you want to talk about Junwu, I still recognize it. Mr. Qin, you say Zhou Pei, this girl is weird, she just taught her some arithmetic casually that day, she picked and bickered with me all day long, and thought that I had brought her brother into trouble I'm about the same age as her, so I won't take part in the marriage, so as not to hate me for the rest of my life... Let me tell you, these things should be checked by the old man."

"You are a teacher for one day and a father for the rest of your life. There is no such thing as age. Zhou Pei has always admired you, Liheng." Qin Yuyuan waved his hand with a smile, "Besides, the truth is busy every day, haha, how can I have time to participate in these procrastinations?" If the monk is free, please take care of it."

After all, it was a trivial matter, and Qin Yuyuan didn't say too much about Qingyang county lord's poetry meeting.Of course, the people present will not know that Zhou Pei has already publicized the greatness of the master who is the number one talented man in Jiangning among a group of friends in the capital. Although he was a little understated when talking about it with Qin Yuyuan, in fact, he was worried about the master in his heart. Will poetry in the past give her support?

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 Wenhui Building, I noticed that Yunzhu and the others looked a little off. They seemed to be in a low mood. Jin'er didn't give him the same cold expression as in the morning. Looking at him but still looking very energetic, but with a gloomy face, she walked away as if she had no strength when she saw him. When asked what happened to Xiao Chan, she only said that everyone was tired from shopping in the afternoon, and then showed a happy smile.

Xiaochan couldn't hide this emotion from Ning Yi. After dinner at night, Ning Yi called Su Wenyu over and asked about the people going out during the day. Su Wenyu didn't dare to hide it from him, so he told what he saw .

It was still in the morning, Ning Yi went to the Qin Mansion, Yunzhu and the others still had to go out to buy things, the family followed them all the way, and 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. They fished out a corpse in a sack from the small river. The mouth of the sack was already loose, and there was even blood flowing after it was picked up. Obviously, the person in the bag died not long ago.It was a naked woman's corpse, and many people were watching it at that time. It is said that the time for throwing the corpse was before dawn.

Walking on the street, seeing a female corpse from a murder case is not a reason for people to lose energy all day long, but in Su Wenyu's hesitant tone, Ning Yi probably understood that the corpse with the corpse In the bag, there were some broken steps, hoods and other things, and the appearance of the corpse was also intact. The person who threw the corpse didn't care that the family members would recognize the identity of the corpse.Su Wenyu looked at it at the time, and thought in his heart, this woman is very similar to the woman who was stopped by Gao Yanei in the alley to molested yesterday. Although she was only seen from a distance at that time, her face shape and the color of her scarf had at least roughly the same shape. the concept of.

"Miss Nie, Miss Yuan, and Xiaochan didn't say anything at the time, but... I guess they guessed the same way..." Su Wenyu frowned, "Before that woman died... she suffered a lot of abuse and torture. There was even a stick inserted in her...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 remained silent for a while.Thinking of what Cheng Zhouhai and others said when they went to the Qin Mansion in the morning, they probably understood.After Qin Shaoyu went back, he told Yao Zunian and others about meeting Gao Muen. Yao Zunian, Ji Kun, Cheng Zhouhai and others probably even conducted an investigation through the secret investigation department.If the order is given at night, the first information will probably come back the next morning. Cheng Zhouhai scolded the Taiwei's mansion for being lawless, and came for that woman. The matter can be found out when the corpse is found, and there is another possibility that the secret investigation department may find out about it when the Taiwei's mansion attacked that night, but this is meaningless, even if it is found out, the secret investigation department cannot intervene .This state of affairs is probably the most embarrassing.

In this sense, it is correct not to put the system of public opinion propaganda into the secret investigation department.

On top of this, Ning Yi can even extend a part. With Gao Muen's heart, 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 prevent him from touching people he shouldn't touch. This insurance should be those people who are arranged around him.When he was in that alley, Lu Qian prevented Gao Yanei from blocking people in the street, but when he returned home like this, Gao Yanei's temper raged on him, and he couldn't stand it.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 sense of proportion, ability and means, so it's no wonder he can make Lin Chong so miserable.

He sat there thinking about these things, while Su Wenyu 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 gloom dissipated, and Ning Yi looked over: "Speaking of which, you are considered to be accompanying Jin'er in the past, and you are courteous on the way... Uh, do you have a chat?"

Unexpectedly, Ning Yi suddenly mentioned this, and Su Wenyu was stunned for a while: "This... because of that incident, and Miss Yuan seems to have no emotion to speak... She, she seems to be avoiding me, but maybe... "

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

"Ah."

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

"Uh...but..."

"Seize 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 up girls, don't be so face-saving, listen to me. That's right. "

"……Oh."

Su Wenyu hesitated to speak, with a hesitant expression, but finally passed.Ning Yi sat there and thought about it. In fact, whether it is Yunzhu or Jiner, it is not a person who has never seen the darkness of society. Even in a brothel like Jinfenglou, in which year few dead women were secretly Carried out, such a thing happened in front of my eyes, even Ning Yi would not feel happy, there will always be a feeling of being suffocated by something in my heart, but if I see such a thing, I have to do justice for the sky, Even on the bar in Taiwei's mansion, Ning Yi thought that he didn't have the ability for the time being, and Yunzhu and Jin'er naturally wouldn't make such expectations. What's more, I'm afraid it was because the woman was targeted yesterday, and this side was also targeted. In life, it is inevitable that there will be a sense of fear and pain that pushes oneself and others.

This feeling is very bad, but Ning Yi thought about it, and he 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 Gao Qiu's head off. Unfortunately, such a thing can only be thought about for the time being.

If there is a chance to get Gao Li to be crushed to death in the political struggle, it would be comfortable... He curled his lips and thought about it flirtatiously.Then he went into the courtyard at the back of the inn, intending to chat with Yunzhu, but Yunzhu was not found in the courtyard, and then he met Su Wenyu, and Dao Jiner could not find him either.

"Maybe I went for a walk nearby, let's go shopping again."

This Wenhui building occupies a large area. The courtyard at the back is exclusively for people with status, and it is also equipped with a pond garden. Ning Yi walked all the way to the garden, but saw a round table in the garden in front of him. Sitting under the chin, in the orange light from the lantern, I don't know what I'm thinking.This slightly lonely expression came from Jin'er, which is really surprising.She had obviously seen him when Ning Yi came in, and she was still holding her chin at this time, looking at this side indifferently.The way Ning Yi came in was walking all the way. At this time, he walked forward with his hands behind his back, and then... he walked around a rockery under Jin'er's gaze, and left in the direction he came and went.

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

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

"Uh, okay..."

Speaking of Jin'er, Su Wenyu was still a little embarrassed, Ning Yi shook his head and cursed the rookie secretly.Although my experience of picking up girls in my previous life was a bit rough, but at this time, I must be very powerful. I have a very powerful self here to guide, but I am still so timid, it feels a bit unteachable... He went all the way Returning and going to the courtyard where Yunzhu lived, the other party was sitting down under the eaves, smiling softly at him, it seemed that the problem in his heart had been solved, and he was waiting for his arrival.

"I heard Su Wenyu 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 also met yesterday, and I'm a little scared." Yunzhu forced a smile and leaned his head on his shoulder, "Liheng, you said that woman may be the one we met yesterday. Is that? Although it looks similar... But you can't be sure, right?"

"Yeah, but if it's true, the one who did it was Lu Qian, the Marquis of Yu next to Gao Yanei."

"Ok?"

"It's 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 returning, so the best The method is to arrest people at night..."

Ning Yi's tone was a little light, and he said the reasoning mechanically.At this time, no matter what you say to relax, you can't change what has happened. He is Yunzhu's man, although you can use the feelings between the two to suppress Yunzhu's thoughts temporarily, but in the end, you still can't stop Yunzhu. Thinking about it later, I simply made the matter a little more mechanized, expanded the involvement of the matter, and made the atmosphere a little colder, which may on the contrary dilute the tragic emotion even more.

He sat there and talked indifferently for a long time, who is the mastermind and who is the accomplice, who is the reason and who is the means, who is shameless and who feels innocent, after saying this, he hugged the woman beside him and sat for a while.

At the same time, a scene was happening in the garden not too far away.

Lanterns spread out in the corridors, casting bright yellow lights, and in the garden, fireflies danced sparsely on the water.Beside the stone table, a man and a woman were talking about something, Su Wenyu 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 Wenyu, but her expression seemed a little arrogant and her eyes were cold.It is not easy to have such an expression on the always lively Yuan Jin'er, but Su Wenyu, who is the person involved, did not feel angry or hurt because of this, because on her high-spirited, arrogant and somewhat cold face, tears flowed 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 opinions on you..."

"I didn't do anything..." Ning Yi can probably understand why he was hated, but matchmakers are often misunderstood, which is not surprising. Anyway, in the end, the other party should understand himself. That's 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..."

"Ah."

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

The tone was a little blunt and decisive. Looking back, Yuan Jin'er, who was wearing a goose yellow dress, was standing at the gate of the courtyard over there, looking over here, as if in a fighting posture, proudly raising her chin.

Bad tone.
