Chapter 353: Waiting in torment

Chapter 353: Waiting in pain

Liulizhai.

After Yang Jie came, he was different from usual. After he came, he did nothing and slept on the bed. He was so tired these days that he ran under the sun. In the end, the energy of the strong energy evaporated the sun. He couldn't stand it and fell asleep.

After waking up, although my hands and feet were still a little soft, my spirits became much stronger. What I saw at a glance was Sun Liniang.

"Haha, Li Niang, it's so good to sleep here!" Yang Kaikeng joked when he saw the beauty watching him sleep.

"Young Master is awake?" Sun Linian looked at Yang Jing happily and asked with concern. When the emperor came to her, he fell asleep without saying anything. The blood in his eyes showed that the emperor had not had a good rest these days, and Sun Liniang felt very distressed.

"Well, I woke up, I felt so comfortable sleeping this time!" Yang Jie stretched out his arms, feeling his whole body sore and soft, with a lazy and comfortable feeling.

"Young Master hasn't had a good rest these days, have you stayed up late?" Sun Linian asked with concern. The matter in Shaanxi is definitely not a secret. Everyone in the capital knows that something happened in Shaanxi. When Sun Liniang saw the emperor's appearance, she knew that the emperor was probably exhausted in the past two days.

"Haha, it's okay... By the way, I have something to show you today, but it's a good thing! Haha..." Yang Jie woke up and immediately prepared to do a serious business.

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

Yang Jie looked for the things he brought in, found out the "lamp oil" extracted by Li Yanyi and said, "Li Niang, look, what is this." Yang Jie said with a smile.

Sun Liniang took it over and lifted the lid of the porcelain jar. A "stench" that was indescribable made Sun Liniang immediately take the porcelain jar far away and complained: "Young master is really, I thought this smelly thing I got there, I thought it was something good, it was so stinking..." Sun Liniang said nothing about Yang Jie, and kept complaining that Yang Jie deceived her.

Yang Jing laughed at it. The unique taste of the oil extracted from the things, the people who have never seen it, will definitely not like that taste, and will definitely not know its benefits. People 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 oil. It can be regarded as lamp oil. Think about it, how much people in the world use lamp oil. What a big business it is. After I got it, I hurried to Li Niang. Li Niang even disliked this thing. Haha, no matter how smelly it is, it is valuable, it will not smell anymore. It should be cute and joyful." Yang Jing only wanted to praise oil. Even if it is a hundred times smelly than feces, it is power, energy, wealth, and a necessity for the operation of the future world.

When Sun Liniang heard about the magic of this thing, she became a little interested in it. She took the porcelain jar and looked carefully. It was turbid liquid inside. When she smelled it, it still had the unique smell.

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

"Haha, I said it was oil." Yang Jingai explained with a smile.

"Oil?" For Sun Liniang, something that belongs to the "shenma" category, I don't know what it is. Since the emperor said it was oil, it was oil.

"Haha, yes, Li Niang, how did the lamp I asked you to make last time?" Yang Jing asked that glass is his own exclusive business, the glass industry, and his own money bag. The industrial chain of the glass industry is also a machine for making money. Yang Jing has long been aiming at the horse lantern. Once the horse lantern is born, with its advancedness, it will be immediately popular in the entire Ming Dynasty. Not to mention anything else, it is just the military supply of the army, and it is a considerable market. Yang Jing will never give up on this piece of fat.

"Oh..., the young master said that the horse lantern is just using this oil? The young master's meaning is Li Niang understands." Sun Li Niang immediately realized that a few days ago, the emperor did make a lamp covered with glass covers, a lamp that was not afraid of the wind and could be used immediately. He also said that using this lamp in the entire Ming Dynasty army was for his own business. Sun Li Niang was also concerned about it and knew that more than 2 million troops in the Ming Dynasty was a very big deal. He bought it in the army, but he didn't buy it when he saw it was good in those yamen. He didn't buy it? Why don't the richer families buy it? What a big deal this is? Sun Li Niang immediately asked the craftsmen of his Liulizhai to start and find a way to make the lamp that the emperor said immediately.

"...Young Master waited, the craftsmen thought of some ways to use sealed jars to fill lamp oil, so as to avoid spilling out the lamp oil. In order to make this thing, the craftsmen thought of many ways. Finally, a craftsman knocked a box with copper to solve the problem. A wick was installed on the jar, and the wick could also be twisted. As the young master said, this thing was tried by Li Niang. It was indeed possible to use this lighting, called a horse lantern. It was really appropriate. Li Niang asked her to go and get it..." Sun Li Niang was very happy. Her ambition was to breed the world. Now, there was finally something that could breed the world. This sense of accomplishment made Sun Li Niang feel particularly happy because the emperor did not lie to her.

After a while, Sun Liniang brought up a few "horse lanterns". Yang Jie looked at it and found that it was not much different from the future horse lanterns. There was a glass cover in the middle and metal at both ends. Some of the differences were that this thing was made of copper. Thinking about it, Yang Jie felt relieved again. Nowadays, iron smelting technology is not very developed and cannot be made of iron sheets. It is estimated that copper can only be replaced by something like copper. The frame supported in the middle is much thicker than that of the few iron wires in later generations. I guess there is no good iron, so copper is also used instead, so it is much bulky.

Yang Jing mentioned it and compared it. Sure enough, it was much heavier than the lantern mentioned in later generations.

"Young Master, this lamp has been made, but lamp oil is a troublesome. Li Niang uses lamp oil made of vegetable oil, but it seems not very bright..." Sun Li Niang also talked about the shortcomings of this thing.

Yang Jing didn't say anything, but took a porcelain jar and poured the "kerosene" inside into a horse lantern. Sun Liniang was so surprised that she couldn't stop watching the emperor fiddling with this fresh thing she made.

"Li Niang, there is a fight..." Yang Jie was about to talk about the lighter, and then said, "Li Niang, do you have a fire note? Light it up and see if it is bright." Yang Jie has tried it with Li Yanyi.

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

"It's done..." Yang Jie sighed relieved. It seemed that the "kerosene" refined by Li Yanyi was quite successful. At least, it was fine to use it as lamp oil.

Sun Liniang was surprised to see this magical scene.

"Hehe, Li Niang, this is a good thing. Hurry up and make this kind of horse lantern. I will first purchase two thousand for the new army. Haha, I said that those who help you to grow the world will never go back on your word. With glass, make this kind of lamp that is not afraid of the wind. Hehe, everyone in the world will have to break their heads and grab it... What a big business is this? Li Niang, expand the business quickly..." Yang Jing said with a smile.

"This... Li Niang knows, thank you young master..." Sun Li Niang was moved and ordered two thousand at a time. Although she may not make much money, she took a step forward in the real way to grow the world.

"No need to thank this. This thing is actually not worth a lot of money." Yang Jing said the truth. Even if it is one tael of silver per or two thousand, it is only two thousand taels of silver. It really doesn't make much money. If the money is not made here, it is like office consumables in the future, such as printers. The merchants who buy printers bluntly say that they don't make money, they will earn your future consumables, such as ink cartridges, and paper. This is the big deal.

"Young Master, don't say that. Although there is not much money, the road to the world of goods has been considered to be a step out. You still haven't forgotten your promise to Li Niang, and Li Niang is satisfied." Sun Li Niang said with satisfaction. It is enough to have a man who cares about, supports herself, and values ​​herself.

"Haha... Although horse lanterns are not profitable, lamp oil is a big business. The more horse lanterns are sold, the more lamp oil they use. In Ming Dynasty, how much lamp oil do I have to use every year? Candles? This business, although fragmented, is inseparable from people's daily lives. In the long run, it will be a big business..." Yang Jingwei said.

"That's it! Young Master, but..." Sun Liniang was moved by the emperor that he did not forget his promise to her. As for making money by lanterns and lantern oil, to be honest, now he is used to Liulizhairi's business of making money by making money, and he is a little disliked by those "small businesses". As the emperor said, it is troublesome to split the amount of money.

"You have to hurry up this business. This oil is produced in Shaanxi. I have found a way to refine oil. Now, I will hurry to build an oil refinery in the area where oil is produced in Shaanxi, recruit local people to engage in oil refining, and quickly start the business of horse lanterns and lamp oil, so that the refining industry will grow and strengthen quickly... and absorb as much employment as possible in the local people..." Yang Jing exerted all his energy for the Shaanxi affairs.

Sun Liniang actually looked down on this "small business". If the emperor hadn't asked her to do it, he might not have been interested in any lanterns, nor was he interested in oil. When he heard the emperor say things seriously, he suddenly remembered that the emperor kept saying that Shaanxi, Shaanxi, and oil was in Shaanxi, and he wanted to recruit local people to refine oil... Sun Liniang instantly understood what the emperor meant.

Sun Liniang looked at the emperor in surprise and said in a lost voice: "...Young Master, what do you mean is to use oil refining to provide employment for local people?" Sun Liniang heard the word "employment" for the first time, but it can be understood. To put it bluntly, the emperor wants to find a way out for the victims in Shaanxi. With a place to make a living, the people will naturally not rebel. Thinking of the emperor who came here to fall asleep, Sun Liniang's nose was sour and there was fog in her eyes. It was not easy to be an emperor!

Yang Jingwei looked at Sun Liniang who understood what she meant and wanted to cry but not. He smiled hard and said, "Haha, it's good that Liniang can understand. This matter may not be much money, but it must be done, and it is worth doing it. This matter must be bigger and stronger as soon as possible. The more people it can absorb, the better it will be. Haha, Shaanxi's affairs are very traumatizing..." Yang Jingwei really thought about his own way for Shaanxi's affairs.

"Li Niang understands what the young master means, understands. Li Niang will immediately expand the scale of Liulizhai, try to absorb more craftsmen, and relieve some pressure for His Majesty. Even if it is not profitable, Li Niang will make a large number of lanterns. The more it is made, the better. It is best that everyone in the world likes to use it. In this way, the more lamp oil is needed. In this way, the more people need oil refining, the more pressure you can reduce the pressure for His Majesty..." Sun Li Nian understood the emperor's meaning, absorbed landless farmers in the factory and gave those farmers who had no way to live. The more farmers they absorbed, the less pressure the emperor faced. Thinking of the blood-filled emperor and exhausted, Sun Li Niang couldn't help but shed tears.

"It's good if you understand, it's good if you understand..." Yang Jing said with a smile. Shaanxi has never had any further news, and it's not a big deal to be anxious. Yang Jing can only do something within his ability. Although an enterprise and a factory cannot solve the problem of eating for many people, it is better than nothing. At least, the population pressure is diversion and is alleviated. As the saying goes, don't be afraid of slowness, just stand, don't be afraid of small water flow, or don't be afraid of not flowing. That's enough.

"By the way, there is another thing, we have to play a double act." Yang Jingai thought about it and said again.

"Young master, let's listen." Sun Liniang unknowingly leaned into Yang Jing's arms.

"I am going to install glass windows in the Forbidden City halls. Haha, you have promoted this matter everywhere, and said that Liulizhai received my order of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. He also said that in addition to the Forbidden City, other yamen are also going to install glass. Haha, just say that the order may be more than one million taels..." Yang Jing said with a smile. This double act was for "some people" to see, allowing people to have a new understanding of Liulizhai's ability to make money, making Liulizhai's stocks a big hit and making stocks a hot thing.

Seeing that it was a double act, Sun Liniang smiled and said, "Liniang knows it, and she also posted recruitment notices on the streets and alleys. The more workers are recruiting, the better. Although it is recruiting workers in Beijing and has nothing to do with Shaanxi, it can be regarded as solving the life of many poor families. The young master said?" Sun Liniang has figured it out now and understood that in addition to making money, her business has a greater purpose, to help the emperor absorb those who have nowhere to live. The emperor's world is different from the world of ordinary businessmen. Since she has participated in the emperor's life, she has shared the worries for the emperor and worked for the emperor, and aims to make the emperor's purpose, naturally became her first choice.

"Hahaha...yes, that's exactly what it means." Yang Jing's money has been exhausted, and the civil unrest in Shaanxi is imminent. He is worried that there is no place to get money, so he stepped up the stock operation and prepared to raise money. Although he didn't know the detailed situation in Shaanxi, one thing is certain, that is, more money is definitely needed. Whether it is the army or disaster relief, more money is absolutely necessary. This is absolutely not wrong. Yang Jing, who has come from the 21st century, never naively believes that there is a free lunch in the world. Everything always has to pay the price. Everything has to be used. No money? No money is enough to see the world.

...

After leaving Liulizhai, Yang Jie ordered Wang Chengen: "Great companion, send someone to summon his father-in-law Tian Hong as soon as possible. I have something to do in the Ganqing Palace..." Yang Jie looked at the sky. The sun was still hot and it was extremely hot. It was raining a few days ago in the capital. It was not too hot. However, it has not rained in Shaanxi for two months and it was extremely dry. Yang Jie sighed secretly. Now he has done everything he can do, and the rest can only wait for news. Shaanxi has already arranged enough.

Yang Jing entered the Ganqing Palace before his feet, and Tian Hongyu arrived.

"Long live my emperor when I was kowtowed by Tian Hongyu." Tian Hongyu was in the house and was urged by the little yellow door to burn his butt. He entered the palace as fast as possible, and he didn't know what the emperor was going to do.

"Forget it, father-in-law, how are you doing when I asked you to recruit workers in Shaanxi?" Yang Jing asked, not about making cotton coats or collecting cotton, but about directly asking about recruiting workers in Shaanxi. Now, all that can be done is Yang Jing did everything without any restraint.

Tian Hongyu looked at the emperor in surprise, and then said, "Report to your Majesty, I have sent a housekeeper to the Shaanxi recruitment. Now I am waiting for news."

"Okay, father-in-law, I believe you have heard about Shaanxi, so I also urge you to step up the handling and recruit more people... Recruiting workers in Shaanxi can reduce the pressure of civil unrest, do you understand?"

Tian Hongyu had heard about recruiting workers and knew what the emperor said, and immediately said: "Go to Your Majesty, I understand, I understand, I plan to recruit 3,000 people in Shaanxi this time, and more than 2,000 people. I will recruit near the capital. In this way, I can start making cotton coats as soon as possible... so as not to miss Your Majesty's affairs, and also take care of the victims in Shaanxi..." Tian Hongyu thought for a while and replied.

"Three thousand? Not enough. In this way, you recruit 5,000 from Shaanxi and try to recruit from Shaanxi. The situation there is different now. If you don't find a way out for the victims there, the civil war will become more and more serious. Do you understand?" Yang Jing had nothing to do, so he could only deal with these "trivial matters", or in other words, to deal with small matters, and the resettlement of the victims can be solved as many as the victims can be resettled.

"...I received the order." Tian Hongyu didn't say much. Since the emperor said that, then do it. Anyway, the emperor paid the money.

"Okay, go ahead, this matter must be done with care and as soon as possible. The situation in Shaanxi is now unclear. Only by resettling the victims as soon as possible can I feel at ease. Do you understand my efforts?"

"Reply to Your Majesty, I understand that your Majesty's hard work will not be misleading Your Majesty's affairs. Don't worry." Tian Hongyu agreed with his chest and spent the emperor's money. He naturally did the emperor's business. There is no problem. As long as he has money, he is afraid that he will not be able to recruit people?

After dealing with another matter, Yang Jing's anxious heart was calmer. Without updates, there was only endless waiting and endless torment. Now, I have done all the things I should do, and I have not let go of trivial matters. It depends on what kind of answer God gave me. Yang Jing's secretly prayed.
