Poor family mother and son

Although Wen Bingquan's words were thoughtful, they were nothing in front of the emperor: "You mean, your entire Ministry of Works is not worthy of a Duke Yong'an? Then it's better to let Duke Yong'an be the Minister of the Ministry of Works!"

Wen Bingquan reached out and wiped his forehead, making a sincere and fearful gesture, but he didn't care much in his heart - you have sent Mr. Yong'an to exile, maybe let her take real power and assume real responsibilities? !
It's just a big joke and self-deprecating.

It's a pity that Wen Bingquan's sincere and fearful gesture was immediately implemented and turned into real fear - outside the imperial study room, Hu Hengqiu, who was still waiting, asked: "Is there something urgent, Minister Li?"

Li Jin, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, was waiting outside, with an obvious look on his face: "Master Hu is here too? It's Minister Huang's letter that has arrived. I'm afraid that Master Shangshu is in a hurry, so I hurried to deliver it."

Li Jin was just waiting for Huang Zhaoxian, the left minister, to return home in vain. Now that a letter has arrived, he is more anxious than Lord Shangshu to know the inside story.

So I sent the letter directly to the imperial study room to let the content of the letter be exposed, so that I would not know what the minister did in response at the first time.

Just waiting for the superior to assign tasks is too passive.

As long as there was no progress on Huang Zhaoxian's side and he was waiting here, in front of the emperor, Lord Wen couldn't immediately let him take over the task of contacting Duke Yong'an?

It is true that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, but those who are prepared can also create their own opportunities!

When the emperor brought Li Jinxuan into the royal study, Wen Bingquan naturally waited for the emperor to read the letter before taking it and reading it himself.

The content of the letter did not surprise the emperor, because Chu Qing’s letter a few days ago made it clear: cooperation and joining.

Huang Shilang couldn't get Chu Qing's skills for free, and he couldn't buy them with money, unless the court asked Chu Qing to open a bookshop, and Chu Qing would let them learn from them in the bookshop. This is called "voluntary joining."

To take advantage of the emperor, Chu Qing wrote a letter to tell the emperor himself. This comparison shows Huang Zhaoxian's shortcomings.

He didn't even dare to write down the exact words of his conversation with Chu Qing, so he tried to be as tactful as possible.

The real advantage of letting the imperial court open a bookstore for Chu Qing was that Chu Qing could easily obtain the qualifications for book printing and distribution in the future.

There are three publishing houses in Daxuan responsible for printing and distributing books: Imperial College, Minister's Library, and Folk Bookstore.

Guozijian, as the "Royal Publishing House", publishes imperial examination materials, examination papers, as well as classics of Confucianism, history books, medical books, etc.

The highest decision-maker for publications is the emperor. Only the emperor can determine the topic and serve as editor-in-chief.

The Ministry of Public Affairs is an agency of the local government that manages official funds. It is not a professional publishing house, but they are qualified. They publish books to make extra money.

Most of the owners of folk bookstores are handicraft owners, who use a wage labor system to manage workers and integrate production and sales.

The content of the books they publish is very wide. In addition to a collection of classics and history, there are also many popular folk books.

That is to say, there are both serious books and casual books.

but.

Only when there is a "but" in something can it stand out.

If private bookstores want to publish and distribute publications, they must be reviewed by specialized agencies. That is to say, they must be reviewed by local state officials before they can be printed and distributed.

This is done, firstly, to eliminate illegal publications, and secondly, to protect copyright and prevent piracy.

Therefore, businessmen who are also Daxuan businessmen in the cultural industry are always higher than businessmen in other industries.

It is not because they are knowledgeable, but because they need to deal with government officials frequently, know many officials, and have noble names.

When Chu Qing asked the imperial court to join her bookstore, she was indirectly qualified to distribute all books. She was even qualified to distribute books published by the Imperial College.At the same time, when the Chu family publishes books in bookshops around the country, they do not need to be reviewed by the local government, because they have already registered with the court. If the court allows printing, do you dare not allow it?

Not to mention that there is no need to bribe the local government, maybe the government will also bribe the Chu Family Bookstore.

Using color printing technology, it is a small bargain to buy a bookshop. The Chu family can afford to open as many bookshops as there are in Kyoto, and our family is not short of money.

But obtaining greater issuance qualifications is the real goal.

Chu Qing wants to make Xiaobao the "uncrowned king" among readers. Next, she will publish the children's picture book modified by Xiaobao and the "Commonly Used Words in Daily Life" that has been developed for adults to eliminate illiteracy, under Xiaobao's name.

When a person lives, he must leave a mark. Chu Qing wants his son to be worshiped in this world!
Therefore, she needs the qualification to publish educational books. If she wants an absolute qualification, an unquestionable qualification, it must be a national-level publishing qualification.

After reading the letter, Wen Bingquan, Minister of Industry, handed it to Li Jin, the right minister.

When Li Jin saw it, his blood boiled all over - if Huang Zhaoxian went there, it would be in vain and nothing was accomplished. Who can agree to this condition?His Li Jin opportunity has come!
But the emperor didn't say a word.

Even when Wen Shangshu asked the emperor to make a clear statement, the emperor only said: "I understand, let's put it aside in advance."

Huang Zhaoxian's letter to the Ministry of Industry was naturally not as fast as Chu Qing's urgent letter. The emperor knew the content a few days ago, so when he saw Huang Zhaoxian's letter today, he didn't have much reaction.

Nor do I think Huang Zhaoxian is incompetent.

Without Chu Qing's letter, given the emperor's worries today and the so-called "progress" reported by Wen Bingquan, the emperor might have directed his anger at Huang Zhaoxian, suspending him for self-examination or being demoted.

But Chu Qing wrote to the emperor in advance just to get Huang Zhaoxian off the hook.

It was necessary for Chu Qing not to let the emperor Bai take advantage of him anymore, but he also didn't want Huang Zhaoxian to take the blame. After all, he was Huang Zhong's son and he had not offended him.

Even if she offends herself, she will still take care of him.

If you don't irritate others, just irritate Mr. Huang's face.

As a result, Li Jin's ten thousand words of self-recommendation were held in his stomach until his face looked like constipation.

The emperor was indeed not too anxious about this matter, because there were things that made him more anxious, so he left the Minister of Works behind.

Reports from various places reported that the Chu family's caravan suppressed bandits along the way, and every time the bandits were suppressed, either grenades or cannons were used, which was so vigorous and lively.

This was what flustered the emperor the most.

What if Chu Qing used artillery to open a road and recruit bandits along the way?And then coerce the people who can't afford to eat?

With the 8000 garrison troops in each state capital, even a large government with tens of thousands of garrison troops can control hundreds of thousands of people in the whole prefecture?
Which emperor wouldn't be afraid of this kind of strength?
How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed?

Chu Qing also mentioned in her letter that the imperial court could rent her artillery to suppress bandits, but it was just a promise. Can the emperor believe it?
If you, Qing Qing, are truly loyal and patriotic, why don't you dedicate your artillery to the imperial court?

That's why he hurriedly called the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to ask about the progress of the Ministry of Industry's research on firearms.

Yeah, I heard that. Is there any progress?Yes, but it's almost none.

If Chu Qing knew what the emperor was thinking, he would have to sigh: The emperor is still too greedy.

The artillery was ignited by an open flame and fired. In the world of Chu and Qing Dynasties, it took five to six hundred years to transition to impact firing. It took another 600 years before the percussion powder and the firing pin ignition method appeared.
