Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 204 Chapter [-] Ming Economic Work Mentor

Rights, rights!A person like Yan Shifan usually drags a person with as much as [-] to [-] yuan.For the sake of power, he had no pressure to compromise with Wang Daoqiu, his mortal enemy, so naturally.Just ask how much this right can transform human nature, right?
Looking at Yan Shifan, he really wanted to call Wang Daoqiu his eldest brother, but his face still looked like "I'm still angry with you".Wang Daoqiu deliberately whetted his appetite, turned his head to one side, and simply chose to ignore it.

Seeing Wang Daoqiu's obvious unwillingness to pay attention to him, Yan Shifan couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and blurted out: "Okay, okay, Wang Liangzhen, I won't take advantage of you. I heard that you did that to your father. I am guarding Taicang in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Your father is just a stick guarding the gold and silver in Taicang, and every day he goes home empty-handed with his hands behind his back stupidly. In this way, Wang Liangzhen, you can transfer me to guard Taicang. I'll do it, the money will be [-]-[-] between us, what do you think?"

"Shifan, what are you talking about? Get out of here, get out of here!"

"father"

"roll"

……

Yan Shifan was so shameless that Old Yan Song could no longer listen to him.So Lao Yansong shouted loudly and drove Yan Shifan out without caring about his dignity.

After such a commotion, Wang Daoqiu also knew that Yan Song was now embarrassed.So he politely spoke to Yan Song for a while, then said goodbye and went home.

The next morning, Wang Daoqiu got up early and did not wear his crimson crane official uniform.Instead, he wore a purple Taoist robe and a fragrant leaf crown, and went out to the nave to have breakfast.

Wang Daoqiu and his son were both from the public family. Wang Zhaowen had to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs early in the morning. Wang Daoqiu had to go to the Forbidden City to be a fool every morning, and then go to Xiyuan to serve the emperor Jiajing.In addition, Wang Daoqiu accompanied the four guards, the Jin Yiwei and the concierge on duty at the door.Therefore, the Wang family kitchen has to be opened in the morning.

Of course, Qiu Sao and Mistress Niang don't live in the mansion, and they didn't come so early, so the Wang family's breakfast was cooked by the Hangzhou cook Shen Yishi brought last time and Wang Daoqiu's mother, Mrs. Xu.

It's very hard to wake up early in the morning and make breakfast for more than a dozen people.However, Mrs. Xu never tired of it. She loved taking care of Wang Daoqiu and his son and her grandson, Wang Daoqiu's eldest son Wang Gaowen.He even enjoyed eating together with Wang Daoqiu and his son, the whole family.

It was the same today. Mrs. Xu put the family's breakfast on the table in the hall, waiting for Wang Daoqiu and his son to come over to eat.

So Wang Daoqiu came over dressed as a Taoist priest. This shocked Mrs. Xu, who got ahead of Wang Zhaowen. She asked in surprise: "Shitou, what's wrong with you? Why are you dressed like this?"

"Oh, mother, the emperor asked me to accompany him to Baiyun Temple to offer incense yesterday, so I will wear Taoist robes today."

"Snapped"!After listening to Wang Daoqiu's words, Wang Zhaowen slammed the table and said angrily: "What are you talking about? How can you still look like a minister of the Ming Dynasty? Well, the emperor asked you to accompany him to Baiyun Temple, so you can wear Taoist uniforms Ah! Brat, let me remind you, you are now the Grand Bachelor of the Ming Dynasty’s cabinet, not some swindling Taoist priest. Get lost, throw away this Taoist robe right away and put back on the clothes you should wear."

"What, throw it away? Dad, Shitou's clothes look like they are made of good material, and they are even inlaid with gold thread! Otherwise, don't throw it away, change the style..."

"Shut up, what do you, a woman, know? You are used to it. Look at your son, how can he still be upright now! A dignified first-class official in the imperial court, but he goes to the king dressed as a Taoist priest. I see Tonight, I will come back from duty to relax his muscles and bones. It is the fault of a son not to educate his father. The emperor has been so kind to my Wang family, but I, Wang Zhaowen, have not taught my son well. I am ashamed of the emperor!"

Wang Zhaowen saw Wang Daoqiu wearing a Taoist priest's uniform. The more he looked at it, the more annoyed he became, so he asked Wang Daoqiu to throw away the Taoist priest's uniform.As for Xu, a rural woman, when she heard that Wang Zhaowen was going to throw away her clothes made of such good materials.When rural women became more frugal, Mrs. Xu would not allow them to be thrown away, saying she wanted to change them into other clothes.Xu's heart-wrenching clothes and fabrics, while ignoring her son's ideological and moral issues, put the cart before the horse, which naturally made Wang Zhaowen very sad.

Watching the interaction between his parents, Wang Daoqiu was also amused. The way his parents thought was not on the same channel at all.When the two of them discussed things, it was like a chicken talking to a duck.But even so, they have been in love for half their lives, which is really a miracle.He smiled and looked at his father, Wang Zhaowen, acting like a moral gentleman, waiting for Wang Zhaowen to finish expressing his gentlemanly feelings.Wang Daoqiu said with a smile: "Dad, you can't offend my Taoist robe and the fragrant leaf crown on my head. The Taoist robe was given by the emperor, and the fragrant leaf crown was knitted by the emperor himself. Dad, you know what they are now." Now that they’re from, do you still dare to throw them away?”

"Ahem." When Wang Daoqiu said that the Taoist robe and fragrant leaf crown were gifts from the emperor, Wang Zhaowen did not dare to throw them away.He coughed twice in embarrassment, and then Wang Zhaowen still said stiffly: "Bad boy, you can't carry it here clearly. What's wrong with the gift from the emperor? You can wear this to see the boss because of the gift from the emperor? Get out of here now. Go back to your room and change back into your official uniform. Then, let your mother set up an incense table with this robe and fragrant leaf crown as an offering. You are not allowed to touch it again. A high-ranking official of the first rank wears a Taoist robe to see the emperor. You It's called disgrace, it's called contempt for your father."

"Yes, father, you, you... Hey! Father, my son really doesn't know what to say to you! You have been an official in the court for a few months, why haven't you figured out the current direction of the court? Ah! What are you talking about wearing Taoist robes to meet you? Yes, think about it."

Xia Yan, speaking of Xia Yan, the imperial court had a special newspaper to spread the news to the world about his crimes.As for Wang Zhaowen, the dignified seventh-rank household manager, he had naturally read the newspaper.

One of the major evidences of Xia Yan's contempt for his father is that Xia Yan not only did not wear the Taoist robes and fragrant leaf crowns awarded by Emperor Jiajing.When Emperor Jiajing asked about this, he directly criticized Emperor Jiajing, saying that as the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, he should wear official uniforms and black gauze hats, why should he wear Taoist robes and fragrant leaf crowns.

This matter was mentioned in the newspaper. Wang Zhaowenjing and Wang Daoqiu reminded him of this matter.So after understanding the meaning behind this, Wang Zhaowen hurriedly skipped the topic and angrily scolded Wang Daoqiu for being so busy early in the morning and eating quickly.

Next, father and son Wang Daoqiu, one snickered and the other glared in a dignified manner. This made Mrs. Xu want to ask, but she was afraid that her husband would be angry. She was confused and accompanied her husband and son to have a very inexplicable breakfast. .

After having breakfast at home, Wang Daoqiu rode to Baiyun Temple.At this time, Emperor Jiajing has not yet arrived at Baiyun Temple, but the preparations here are in full swing.The emperor's soldiers were busy conducting security inspections and setting up sentries.The Taoist priests were cleaning and decorating welcome ribbons and banners.

When Wang Daoqiu arrived here, Tao Laodao was at the door, directing the Taoist priests to work. When he saw Wang Daoqiu coming, he hurriedly came up to greet Wang Daoqiu.

Tao Zhongwen welcomed Wang Daoqiu into a warm pavilion and made the purple bamboo shoot tea that Wang Daoqiu was accustomed to drinking.The two of them exchanged some useless politeness at first, and as they were talking, the topic turned to economic issues.

Tao Zhongwen said to Wang Daoqiu: "Fellow Taoist, after a year's hard work of our Taoist sect, the palaces, yamen, and homes of distinguished ministers in the capital have all been replaced with glass windows. The next step for the glass window business will definitely be in Jiangnan. , after all, there are many wealthy households there who can afford money. So I would like to set up another glass factory nearby in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Regarding this, I don’t know if friends have any good suggestions.”

Daomen also wants to build another glass factory in Jiangnan. This is more and more economical.

That's great. Engaging in economics will always be much more beneficial to human society than engaging in bullshit politics.Therefore, Wang Daoqiu still supports Daomen's focus on economic work.

So Wang Daoqiu thought for a while and said: "It is inappropriate to build the glass factory in Suzhou and Hangzhou. After all, it is too far away from the coal-producing area, and the cost of transporting coal is too high. In addition, the Suzhou-Hangzhou area is the main tourist destination of our country. In grain-producing areas, most of them are dry and stagnant water-irrigated fields. In the glass-making process, the wastewater and gas will have an impact on water and crops. Therefore, if the factory is built there, over time, the wastewater and gas will damage the local environment. If you show up, you will be in big trouble."

"So I suggest that instead of building the glass factory in Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is better to build the factory in Jeju, next to the newly built Jeju Iron and Steel Factory. There are coal-producing areas around there, and there is no shortage of limestone and river sand. Penglai soda ash The factory is also close, and raw materials are easy to obtain. Moreover, the land price and labor in Jeju are almost half of those in Suzhou and Hangzhou, which will greatly save costs. As for environmental pollution problems, the Jeju Iron Works and nearby coal mines are also responsible. Some people are causing trouble. You can also ask the Jeju Iron Works, where the Supervisor of Ceremonies sends his father-in-law to help. The only disadvantage is that the section of the canal from the south of Jeju to the Huaihe River is frozen for about three months. During these three months, the Southern Glass Games will be stopped. "

Regarding the location of a new glass factory in Daomen, Wang Daoqiu recommended Jeju and let it be built next to the newly built Jeju Iron Works.This makes sense when Tao Zhongwen thinks about it. Although Jeju is still some distance away from the Yangtze River Delta, the consumer area, it is close to the source of raw materials!

Moreover, it was built next to the Jeju Iron Works under the supervision and control of Si Li. The father-in-law of Si Li and Dongchang can provide protection for the glass factory, which can be said to completely shield black and white harassment.And when planting flowers, building a factory and opening a store, isn't the biggest problem the relationship between black and white?
Thinking of this, Tao Zhongwen clapped his thigh happily, laughed and praised: "As expected, you still have to discuss with fellow Taoists when doing business!"
