Chapter 90

Kong Yu's affairs in the boat house are going smoothly these days, so I don't have to worry too much, and I can devote myself to my own workshop.

In ten days, the craftsmen who made the bicycle had already made achievements.They wholeheartedly thought it was Lu Ban's design, something of the craftsman's ancestor, so how dare they neglect it.So I used the best materials, worked day and night, and completed the first bicycle model without failing a few times, and then asked me to come to check and accept after several days of delay.

When I saw the bike for the first time, I couldn’t help being stunned. This is not a bicycle that can be promoted. The pattern is also pasted with gold leaf, and the iron sheets used for the package are all polished and shiny, which dazzles my eyes.

I thought about it, no wonder these guys had to wait for a few days. It turned out that the last few days were for packing the car. These people probably didn’t use their craftsmanship for a long time and were panicked. Now they are all venting on this car. It is estimated that national treasures are produced in this way.

I smiled to myself. Compared with the few historical bicycles preserved in museums in my previous life, our first bicycle is definitely [-] times more beautiful in appearance. Anyway, it will be preserved as a historical witness in the future. I am the inventor. Yeah, let them do this once.

This first bike had no brakes and had to be stopped by pushing hard in the opposite direction.I have ridden such a car once, so I have some experience, so I found a relatively flat place in the yard and got on the car to test it myself.

It’s not bad, it didn’t disappoint me, the car started to run easily, I turned the slightly tight faucet around the field, and felt like returning to my hometown in my previous life. The craftsman, who was thrown into a dazed state, opened his eyes wide and couldn't figure out why the strange car that had dropped him countless times became so obedient at my feet.

I discovered the miracle, and under the envious eyes of everyone in the courtyard who came to watch, I rode round and round happily, feeling proud of myself.But when I stopped, I encountered a trouble. Because I slowed down too fast, I broke the tendon that was used as a chain.I gathered myself together and called out to the people who didn't know whether they should rush up to rescue the driver. After a while, the car gradually stopped by itself amidst the cheers of the people.

Even though there was an accident, I still praised the craftsmen greatly. Each of them rewarded them with money. They rarely get rewards. When they saw how generous I was, they all showed happy smiles. And seeing the honor of Master Lu Ban's works published with their own eyes can make them feel proud for a lifetime.

I got out of the car and pointed out some shortcomings to them, and told them that because the ancient books I read were broken, the drawings I copied were incomplete. Master Lu's design originally had brakes, and now we can only rely on everyone Come fix it up.Hehe, this time I am not afraid that they will not think carefully and make their own innovations.People's abilities are all created by force. Now I want to force out the creativity of these skilled craftsmen. I always imitate the predecessors and superstitiously believe in them. What can I do? I will rely on them to invent and create for me in the future. These have countless The role played by a craftsman with ten years of experience is naturally what a genius like me who has theory but no practice needs most.

The bicycle is almost finished. What I should think about is how to use this invention. If the decorations are not counted, and the materials are slightly lowered, there are not many materials to produce a car. About [-]% of the people in the capital use If you can afford it, all I have to do is to promote it and print my name on it all. This is a great invention. If it gets publicized, the royal family will have face, but it can't be too much in the limelight. Then I have to find my father again. After discussing it, let him speak out, saying that I made it randomly based on the classics of Master Lu Ban, but I have to do the promotion and publicity by myself.

Now there are capable people inside and outside the palace to help me develop my power, and I only need a publicity and sales advertising staff officer. This job is not even available in the palace, so this talent is hard to find.

It was only at this time that I realized how important a successful advertising campaign is. No matter how good something is, it is useless if no one pushes it. But where can I find this person?

Although I am in urgent need of this manpower now, but my own people are always more trustworthy. Even Kong Yu and Liu Yuxi may not be able to find this kind of talent for me. I thought for a while, and suddenly thought of my natal relatives. My mother is from the royal family, but my mother is not. I heard that some people in her natal family are doing business outside the palace. They have a strong network and get along well. However, those so-called relatives have never visited me a few times since I was born. .I heard from my queen mother that several of them became officials, and some made a fortune in business, but I have never met those who are officials. I guess they all found organizations to join various forces in the palace.

Advertisers must find businessmen, and people from my natal family have more kinship, so I won’t be too familiar with them. I decided to try to see if I can ask them to help me. If I’m lucky, I can find a few pawnbrokers. The official's relatives, by the way, try to pull me into my seat to help me with things. This can kill two birds with one stone, and it can also relieve Liu Yuxi's burden.

After making up my mind, I will run to the queen mother's bedroom after finishing the locks in the workshop at night. Fortunately, she didn't go to play mahjong today. In the palace, I mainly want to ask about the situation of my mother's family first, who are there? , What official position do you hold.

As soon as I entered the room, I went straight to the point. Although she was a little surprised why I suddenly cared about this matter, she always cared about me. After thinking about it, I am her son, and she should have told me about her family. That's the bad thing, I don't even know where my mother is from. Since I want to know, it's something I should know, so she told me endlessly.

In fact, for so many years, I don't know much about my mother's situation, because I didn't ask, and she didn't say anything. After asking this time, I found out that my mother was born in Suzhou, the southern road of Dongdong. It was originally a family of officials and officials, and it was also a famous scholarly family in Suzhou City.

My great-grandfather used to be a marching staff officer in the ancestral emperor’s army who raised troops to conquer the world decades ago. When the royal family fought for the first time, he stood in the wrong place, was transferred far away from the center of power, and was sent back to his hometown of Suzhou to become a dispensable official.

Fortunately, the governor of Suzhou knew that the transferred Beijing officials still had intricate relationships in the court, so he never felt sorry for his natal family, but was suppressed and could no longer be promoted.Until the grandfather gave birth to a beautiful, intelligent daughter, and successfully sent the 15-year-old daughter to the deep palace in the emperor's concubine selection. From then on, the official fortune began to prosper again.

Listening to my mother's narration, I couldn't help sighing to my ancestors. This dynasty sent women into the palace is a blessing for Hugh. I knew in my heart that if it is not impossible to promote equality between men and women in this era, I am afraid that I must use it. It's been generations.

The queen mother saw that I was interested, and continued: "I am the youngest child in the family. I have three older brothers and two older sisters above me. Your uncle and uncle are already in their early forties, and they are all observing in Dongjiang River Road. Let me serve as a civil servant, I heard that you asked to be transferred to your second brother's subordinates not long ago, I don't know where you are now." I was a little angry when I heard that these two relatives actually went to the second brother's place, they are quite friendly Look, the second emperor brother is powerful, but it's only temporary, and he doesn't mix with me. Those two probably haven't heard the saying that no one is allowed to leave the fat and water. If these two people are really good, I will kill them in the future Get me down.

The queen mother drank the tea water on the table, glanced at me, paused, and continued: "Your two aunts have already left the cabinet, the first uncle is the governor of Suzhou who just took office, and the second uncle is the deputy defense history of Suzhou. Our family has emphasized literature throughout the generations, but your uncle is an anomaly." She seemed a little reluctant to mention this.

I became very interested, and hurriedly urged her to continue talking. I vaguely remembered that my mother and queen had told me about these things, but I was obsessed with maiden thaumaturgy at that time, and I never regarded them as real ones. I am a family member, so the left ear goes in and the right ear goes out. Now that there is an urgent need for talents, I have no choice but to be despicable.

Seeing that I was eager to know about that uncle, she had a look of helplessness in her eyes, and said, "Your uncle is one year older than me. He refused to study since he was a child. He invited several gentlemen to give lectures to him. He left in anger, but always went to the market to watch people doing business and discuss business, so angry that your grandfather broke countless whips, and he always said that he didn't want to be an official, so he was almost kicked out of the house, fortunately" as he said, the old man Emotions were revealed, as if remembering the situation of that day, and began to describe the events of that day.

I'm not interested in those trivial things, shit and farts, but this little uncle likes to do business, which is exactly what I like. Maybe my mother mentioned that there are a few relatives who are in business. He is referring to him.

However, in this dynasty, the customs generally value literature over business. I didn't know that our family is a scholarly family, and other families are fine, but this uncle, who was born in such a scholarly family, insisted on his interest in doing business regardless of opposition. It seems that he has a certain talent. He should not be very old. Maybe he can accept the business philosophy I learned from the local host. This is a talent. It seems that my candidate for the director of advertising and publicity is expected.

My thoughts were wandering, but I didn't hear what my mother said. I guess she was talking about the matter. I was not interested in listening to those boring things, so I interrupted her and said softly: "Mother, I have something to discuss with you."

She was not angry when I interrupted her. She just nodded and asked me to continue. She is now addicted to mahjong and doesn't care much about other things, but I am her son. I have something to say that she must be able to help then help.

"I guess, my uncle will be around 23 this year. As a relative of the emperor, and he doesn't want to be an official, we might as well call him to the capital. First, we can catch up with your mother from time to time. Second, there are many officials in the capital. It’s also convenient to find an official position, which fulfills my grandfather’s wish.” I said a good word, the main reason is to get people around first, and now that the bicycles are all made, I only owe this businessman to help me. Take care of it.

When my mother heard it, she was obviously very moved. She felt that my idea was very good. Without further ado, she wrote a letter from home and sent someone to send it home. She lives in this deep palace, and she hasn't seen her family for a long time. She looks like, although she hates my uncle's profession, she still cares about him, blood is always dissolved in water, it's a family.

Then she talked about some family affairs. Except for a few close relatives, she didn't know anyone anymore. The few close relatives only heard about them, and they didn't know much better than me. Blame her, she was only 15 years old when she entered the palace, and she was raised in a boudoir before, how many people can she know?

After listening for two hours, I finally found someone available without wasting time. I just hope that he will not disappoint me. If that uncle is a stupid pig, I will send someone to cut off his cunt.

After leaving the old palace room, I went back to Yuling Palace. I tossed and turned all night, thinking about how to quickly discover more talents. It's hard to find such an ad person as this time.

I made up my mind right away, it seems that I have to cultivate a group of unorthodox talents, but since they are unorthodox, I have to consider their source.

There are many young court ladies and eunuchs in the harem. What specialties do those people have?It is the head of the gossip, who can say that there is nothing, add fuel and vinegar to the whole palace, and these people ask Eunuch Lin to help me sort out a batch, and then help me be the shooter. The shooter just opens his mouth and talks nonsense. Framing others, there were many such people in the film and television industry in the previous life, but they were called differently: fake fans.

It is a public gang used by some people to attack certain celebrities. I heard that in the previous life, that kind of people liked to make upside-down nonsense, claiming that there is no news, and making some newcomers who have just entered the entertainment industry into a psychic spirit. Chaos, these are talents, but I don't plan to focus on cultivating palace ladies. Those who can be sent to the palace to work are of course smart, but there are still many shortcomings.

The court ladies knew from an early age that "a woman is virtuous without talent", and at a young age, she already knew how to intrigue and pretend to please the master. More people entering the palace are looking forward to being favored by the emperor, and one day they will fly on a branch and become a phoenix. How can they calm down and learn some advanced culture? Nonsense is okay among the people. It was different in the era of freedom of speech in my previous life, but this is in the palace. If something goes wrong, it’s okay, at least All have to go to jail.

In addition, the more savvy servants in the palace have already made up their masters, and it is estimated that they will not change for the rest of their lives. The rest of the leftovers can only spend a small amount of money to inquire about the news of the palaces. It doesn't make much sense, but you can speculate on the movements of the major forces from the side. Eunuch Lin's eunuchs have many undercover agents, but such people don't know how to gossip, they only inquire about news. What's the use of such people? If I want to look for it, I can tell Eunuch Lin, and a lot of them will follow. What I want now is not this kind of person, but someone who can talk and talk nonsense.

A young eunuch who has just entered the palace is fine. With my status, I can naturally ask for seventeen or eight eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to accompany me.It’s just that the palace recruits new recruits once every three years. Among these people, there are only a handful of cunning ones. If I have to choose one by one, it won’t exhaust me. Moreover, many new servants are not born with skills Some people who talk gossip are quick-witted and quick-learned, and they only learn it after staying in the palace for a period of time, so choosing from among newcomers is not the way.

Now that I have a workshop outside the palace, and there are many houses there, it is a good idea to set up a training base for Bagua masters there, and the learning effect will be faster and better in practice.

After making up my mind, I decided to find people outside the palace, so that those who need it can be found openly, and the selectivity is also strong. The palace is still not as many talents as the whole rivers and lakes, but it's just an excuse, I said that the workshop wants to recruit Handymen and apprentices are fine, so that no one can gossip, and those ordinary people are definitely willing to let their children have a skill.

This is a good way to cover your ears.
