Chapter 351

Liulizhai.

After Yang Reform came, it was different from usual. After he came, he didn't do anything, just lay down on the bed and fell asleep. These days, he was really tired. After running under the sun, the last trace The energy of the strong fight was also evaporated by the sun, and I couldn't bear it anymore, so I fell asleep.

After waking up, although her hands and feet were still a little soft, her spirit was much stronger, and it was Sun Liniang who she saw at a glance.

"Hehe, Liniang, it's really nice for you to sleep here!" Yang Reform laughed when he saw the beauty watching him sleep.

"My lord, are you awake?" Sun Linian looked at Yang Reform happily, and asked with concern. When the emperor came to her, he couldn't help but fall asleep. The bloodshot eyes showed that the emperor hadn't had a good rest these days, and Sun Liniang was so distressed. Incredible.

"Well, I woke up. This sleep is really comfortable!" Yang Reform stretched his arms, feeling his whole body sore and limp, with a lazy and comfortable feeling.

"Master, you haven't had a good rest these days, have you stayed up late?" Sun Linian asked with concern, the matter in Shaanxi is by no means a secret, everyone in the capital knows that something happened in Shaanxi, and Sun Liniang knew the emperor's appearance The emperor was probably exhausted these two days.

"Hehe, it's okay... By the way, I have something to show you today. It's a good thing! Hehe..." Yang Reform woke up and immediately got ready to get down to business.

"Oh, what's so good? It's worth the young master's visit?" Sun Liniang asked curiously.

Yang Reform looked for the things he had brought in, found the "lamp oil" refined by Li Yanyi, and said, "Liniang, look, what is this." Yang Reform said with a smile.

Sun Liniang took it and lifted the lid of the porcelain jar. An indescribable "stinky smell" made Sun Liniang immediately take the porcelain jar away, and complained: "Young master, this stinky thing I got there is still there. I thought it was a good thing, it stinks to death..." Sun Liniang was like Yang Reform, and couldn't stop complaining that Yang Reform had lied to her.

Yang Reform laughed straight at the sight. Those who have never seen the unique smell of this oil-refined thing will definitely not like that smell, and they will definitely not know its benefits. Those who have seen it will definitely like it very much. , because it represents energy, money, and the future.

"Li Niang, don't underestimate it. This thing is extracted from petroleum and can be used as lamp oil. Think about how many people in the world use lamp oil. What a deal this is. After I get it , rushed to Liniang's place in a hurry, but Liniang still disliked the stinky thing, hehe, no matter how stinky it is, it's worth the money, so it doesn't stinky anymore, it should be cute, it should be joy." Yang Reform for Petroleum This thing, I just want to praise it fiercely, even though it smells a hundred times worse than excrement, it is power, energy, wealth, and a necessity for the future operation of the world.

Sun Liniang heard about the magic of this thing, and became a little interested in it. She brought the porcelain altar over and looked at it carefully. There was a cloudy liquid inside. When she smelt it again, it still had the peculiar smell. taste.

"My lord, what is this thing? Why is it so smelly?" Sun Liniang couldn't stand the pungent smell of lamp oil.

"Hehe, I told you, it's oil." Yang Reform explained with a smile.

"Oil?" To Sun Liniang, oil was a kind of "magic horse", and she didn't know what it was. Since the emperor said it was oil, it must be oil.

"Hehe, yes, Liniang, how is the lamp that I asked you to make last time?" Yang Reform asked, glass is his exclusive business, and the glass industry is his own pocketbook. The industrial chain is also a machine for making money. Yang Reform has long been aiming at the Lantern. Once the Lantern was born, with its advanced technology, it will definitely become popular in the entire Ming Dynasty. Not to mention, it is only the military supplies of the army. No matter what, Yang Reform would not give up on this huge market, this piece of fat.

"Oh... the young master said that the lantern is made of this oil? Liniang understands what the young master means." Sun Liniang immediately realized that a few days ago, the emperor did ask her to make a lamp covered by a glass cover, a kind of Not afraid of the wind, the lamp can be used on horseback. He also said that this kind of lamp was used in the army of the entire Ming Dynasty. He said it was for his own business. Big business, bought by the army, but those yamen see it as good, why don't you buy it?Wealthy people still don't buy it?How big a deal is this?Sun Liniang immediately asked the craftsmen of her own Liulizhai to start to find a way to make the kind of lamp that the emperor said could be used immediately.

"...My lord, wait a moment. The craftsmen have thought of some ways to make this thing. According to what you said, use a sealed jar to hold the lamp oil, so as not to spill the lamp oil. In order to make this thing, the craftsmen have thought of many ways. Finally, a craftsman knocked out a box out of copper, and the problem was solved. A wick was installed on the jar, and the wick could also be twisted. Immediately, this lighting can indeed be used, it is called a horse lantern, it is really appropriate, let Liniang go get it..." Sun Liniang is very happy, her ambition is to breed the world, and now, finally there is something that can be used to breed the world , This sense of accomplishment made Sun Liniang feel particularly happy, because the emperor did not lie to her.

After a while, Sun Liniang came over with a few "lanterns". Yang Reform took a look, and found that they were not much different from the lanterns in the future. There was a glass cover in the middle, and the two ends were metal. It was made of copper. Thinking about it, Yang Reform was relieved again. Nowadays, iron smelting technology is not very developed, and iron sheets cannot be made. I guess it can only be replaced by copper, which is more malleable. The middle support shelf , It is also much thicker than the few iron wires of the later generations. It is estimated that there is no good iron, so it is also replaced by copper, so it is much bulkier.

Yang Reform mentioned it and compared it. Sure enough, it was much heavier than the lanterns mentioned by later generations.

"My lord, this lamp has been made, but the lamp oil is troublesome. Liniang used vegetable oil for the lamp oil, but it doesn't seem to be very bright..." Sun Liniang also talked about the shortcomings of this product.

Yang Reform didn't say anything. He took a porcelain altar and poured the "kerosene" inside into a lantern. Sun Liniang watched the emperor "skillfully" play with this new thing that she had just made, and she was so surprised that she could not close her mouth from ear to ear.

"Liniang, there is a lighter..." Yang Reform was about to talk about a lighter, but after thinking about it, he said, "Liniang, do you have a lighter? Light it up and see if it lights up." There have been tried.

Sun Liniang quickly found the fire book, then uncovered the glass cover, lit it, and then covered the glass cover... The room is well sealed, and the light is not very strong. The light inside the lantern is quite bright.

"It's done..." Yang Reform heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that the "kerosene" refined by Li Yanyi is considered a success. At least, it is no problem to use it as lamp oil.

Seeing this miraculous scene, Sun Liniang was very surprised.

"Hey, Liniang, this is a good thing. Hurry up and make this kind of lantern. I will buy two thousand for the new army first. Hehe, I said that those who help you to breed the world will never break their promise. With glass , to make this kind of lamp that is not afraid of the wind, hehe, everyone in the world will have to smash their heads to grab it... What a big business is this? Liniang, hurry up and expand the business..." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"This... Liniang understands, thank you son..." Sun Liniang was so moved that she ordered two thousand pieces at a time. Although the money might not be much, it was a real step forward on the road of breeding goods in the world.

"You don't have to thank me for this. Actually, this thing can't make a lot of money." Yang Reform told the truth, even if the lanterns cost one or two thousand taels of silver, they are only 2000 taels of silver, which really doesn't make much money. Money, the place to make money is not here, just like the office consumables in the future, such as printers, the merchants who buy printers bluntly say that they don’t make money, and what they earn is your future consumables, such as ink cartridges, such as paper, which is the big one.

"My lord, don't say that. Although there is not much money, the road of cultivating the world is considered to be out. You still haven't forgotten your promise to Liniang, and Liniang is satisfied." Sun Liniang said very satisfied. , It is enough to support yourself and value your own man.

"Hehe... Although lanterns don't make money, lamp oil is a big business. The more lanterns sold, the more lamp oil is used. Daming, how much lamp oil do I need every year? Candles? This business, although fragmented, However, it is also inseparable from people's daily life, and in the long run, it will be a big business..." Yang Reform said.

"That's it! Young Master, but..." Sun Liniang was moved by the fact that the emperor did not forget his promise to her. As for making money from horse lanterns and lamp oil, to be honest, I am used to Liulizhai's business of making money every day. "Small business" is somewhat despised, as the emperor said, it is troublesome to divide it into two parts.

"This business, you have to hurry up. This oil is produced in Shaanxi. My son has already found a way to refine the oil. Now, I have to hurry to the place where the oil is produced in Shaanxi to build an oil refinery and recruit local people to engage in oil refining. For the business of horse lanterns and lamp oil, start the business quickly, let the oil refining industry grow bigger and stronger..., and try to absorb as many local people as possible..." Yang Reform did his best for the affairs of Shaanxi strength.

Sun Liniang actually despises this "small business". If the emperor didn't ask her to do it, he might not be interested in any lanterns, let alone oil. Hearing the emperor's serious talk, he suddenly remembered that the emperor has been Speaking of Shaanxi, Shaanxi, the oil is in Shaanxi, and the local people are recruited to refine oil... Sun Liniang instantly understood what the emperor meant.

Sun Liniang looked at the emperor in surprise, and said in a low voice, "...Young master, what does the young master mean by refining oil to provide employment for the local people?" Sun Liniang heard the word employment for the first time, but she could understand it. It means that the emperor wants to find a way for the disaster victims in Shaanxi. With a place to make a living, the common people will naturally not rebel. Thinking of the emperor who falls asleep when he comes here, Sun Liniang has a sore nose and fog in her eyes water.It's not easy being an emperor!
Yang Reform looked at Sun Liniang, who understood what he meant, and wanted to cry, and tried to smile: "Hehe, it's good that Liniang understands, this matter may not make much money, but it must be done, and it is worth it To do this matter, we must make it bigger and stronger as soon as possible, and the more people we can absorb, the better. Hehe, the Shaanxi matter is a headache..." Yang Reform really tried his best for the Shaanxi matter.

"Li Niang understands the meaning of the young master. I understand. Li Niang will immediately expand the scale of Liuli Zhai and try to attract more craftsmen to relieve the pressure on His Majesty. Even if the lantern does not make money, Li Niang Mother will also make large batches, the more you make, the better, and it is best that everyone in the world loves to use it. In this way, you will need more lamp oil, so you will need more oil refiners, and you will be able to relieve your majesty. I'm under pressure..." Sun Linian understood what the emperor meant, and used factories to absorb farmers who had lost their land, and gave food to those farmers who had no way out. The more farmers he absorbed, the less pressure the emperor would face. Thinking about it Sun Liniang, the bloodshot and exhausted emperor, couldn't help crying.

"It's good if you understand it, it's good if you understand it..." Yang Reform tried his best to say with a smile. There has been no further news from Shaanxi, and it is not a matter to be anxious. Yang Reform can only do what he can. Although an enterprise, A factory can't solve the problem of how many people eat, but it's better than nothing. At least, the population pressure is being diverted and reduced. As the saying goes, if you don't be afraid of slowness, you should be afraid of standing, if you are not afraid of small water flow, you should be afraid of no flow.

"By the way, there is one more thing, we have to play a double reed." Yang Reform thought for a while and said again.

"Young master, please tell me, Liniang is listening." Before Sun Liniang knew it, she had already leaned into Yang Reform's arms.

"I'm going to install glass windows in all the halls in the Forbidden City. Hehe, you should publicize this matter everywhere, and say that Liulizhai has received an order of several 10 taels of silver from me. Ready to install the glass, hehe, the order may be more than 100 million taels..." Yang Reform said with a smile, this double reed was performed for "some people", so that people have a new understanding of Liulizhai's earning power , Let the stock of Liulizhai become a big hit, making the stock a hot thing.

Sun Liniang saw that she was playing a double reed, and said with a smile: "Liniang knows, and she still puts up recruitment notices in the streets and alleys. The more jobs are recruited in large quantities, the better. Although they are recruiting in the capital city, they have nothing to do with Shaanxi, but they are still considered jobs. Solve the livelihood of many poor people, my son said, right?" Sun Liniang has figured it out now, and she understands that her business has a bigger purpose besides making money, helping the emperor absorb those people who have no means of living The emperor's world is different from that of ordinary businessmen. Since she has already participated in the emperor's life, sharing the emperor's worries, doing things for the emperor, and aiming at the emperor's goals, it has naturally become her first choice.

"Hehehe... That's right, that's exactly what we want to do." Yang Reform's money has already been exhausted, and the civil uprising in Shaanxi is imminent, and he is worried that there is no place to get money, so he stepped up his stock operation and prepared to raise money. Although he didn't know Shaanxi The detailed situation over there, but one thing is certain, that is, more money is definitely needed, whether it is the army or disaster relief, it is absolutely necessary to invest more money. This is absolutely not wrong. Reform is by no means naive to believe that there is a free lunch in the world. There is always a price to pay for everything, and everything needs money. No money?Seeing the world without money.

……

After leaving the Liulizhai, Yang Reform told Wang Chengen: "Big Companion, send someone to call the old man Tian Hongyu to meet him as soon as possible. I have something to do in Qianqing Palace..." Yang Reform looked up at the sky, the sky was still burning with the sun, and it was extremely hot Yes, it rained a few days ago in the capital, and it wasn't too hot, but in Shaanxi, it hasn't rained for two months, and the drought is extremely dry. Everything has been done, and the rest can only be waited for news, Shaanxi, I have already arranged enough.

Yang Reform entered Qianqing Palace first, and Tian Hongyu arrived later.

"Chen Tian Hongyu kowtowed to my emperor, long live, long live, long live." Tian Hongyu was enjoying the cool at home, and was urged to burn his ass by the little yellow door. He entered the palace as fast as he could, not knowing what the emperor was going to do.

"Excuse me, old man, I asked you to go to Shaanxi to recruit workers, how are you doing?" Yang Reform asked, not about making cotton coats and harvesting cotton, but directly asking about recruiting workers in Shaanxi These are the things that can be done now, and Yang Reform has done everything without hesitation.

Tian Hongyu looked at the emperor in surprise, and said immediately, "Report to Your Majesty, regarding the recruitment of workers in Shaanxi, I have already sent a housekeeper there, and now I am waiting for news."

"Okay, my father-in-law, you must have heard about the Shaanxi incident, so I also urge you to step up the process and recruit more people... Recruiting workers in Shaanxi can reduce the pressure of the civil uprising, you understand ?”

Tian Hongyuzao had heard about recruitment, and knew what the emperor meant, so he immediately said: "Your Majesty, I understand, I understand, this time, I plan to go to Shaanxi to recruit 3000 people, and another [-] people. The minister is recruiting near the capital, so that we can start making cotton clothes as soon as possible... so as not to miss your Majesty's business, and also take care of the victims in Shaanxi..." Tian Hongyu thought for a while and replied.

"Three thousand? It's not enough. In this way, you recruit five thousand from Shaanxi, and try to recruit from Shaanxi. The situation over there is now different. If you don't find a way out for the victims there, the civil uprising will become more and more serious." Lie, do you understand?" Yang Reform has nothing to do, he can only deal with these "trivial things", or to put it another way, deal with small matters, and solve as many disaster victims as he can.

"...The minister leads the decree." Tian Hongyu didn't say much, since the emperor said so, let's do it, anyway, the emperor paid for it.

"Okay, let's go. This matter needs to be done with care and as soon as possible. The situation in Shaanxi is unknown now. Only when the victims are resettled as soon as possible can I feel at ease. Do you understand my painstaking efforts?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I understand your Majesty's painstaking efforts, and I will definitely not miss His Majesty's affairs. Don't worry, Your Majesty." Tian Hongyu patted his chest and agreed to spend the emperor's money, and naturally act for the emperor. There is no problem with this, as long as If you have money, are you afraid you won't be able to recruit people?
After dealing with another matter, Yang Reform's restless heart finally calmed down.There is no update news, only endless waiting and endless suffering. Now, I have done everything I should do, and I have not let go of trivial things. It depends on what kind of answer God gives me. , Yang Reform secretly prayed.
