The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Because the article was too long and there was too much nonsense, Li Zhao only excerpted the fragment reflecting the Fujian shipyard, and after appropriate simplification, sent it to the Imperial Palace in the capital by telegram.

The content of the explanation comes from the contribution of the shipbuilder of the Fujian Shipyard to the Science Magazine. After that, he briefly talked about Song Qingyue's proposal. They were sent to the capital in the form of human flesh.

The efficiency of the telegram is too low, and the function is too single. For example, the pictures and data tables in the article cannot be sent.

Moreover, this article was written by the boatman himself with charcoal. It can be seen that the boatman has worked very hard to write the words neatly, but it still looks rough and unsightly.

But it is this unsightly appearance that is the most simple and moving.Li Zhao wanted to share this simplicity with his father in the capital.

It is useful to spend money on literacy classes for artisans.

This is a real result.

It seems that the emperor is not at all worried that the emperor will reject the proposal that Song Qingyue will take over the literacy classes of the major imperial factories, and secretly investigate various corruption and employment issues. Long before the article was sent to the capital and handed over to the emperor, Song Qingyue The selection of personnel for the southward team has already begun.

Song Qingyue browsed through the list of many teaching staff, and finally selected Lingxiu and Lingxi, who run literacy classes in the library near the low-rent housing in the suburbs of Taiyuan, as the team leaders to Fujian Chao No. [-] Shipyard and No. [-] Shipyard respectively.

She called the two to the palace, and she had to tell them something in person.

The interests involved in the shipyard are huge, and the shipbuilders didn't dare to use their real names. It can be seen that it is not only about the scenery. Song Qingyue wants to explain the risks to them personally. Lingxiu and Lingxi decide for themselves.

"Your Majesty, Lingxiu is willing to go!" Lingxiu knelt down to express her determination without even thinking about it, "My Majesty values ​​Lingxiu, no matter what Lingxiu does, she is willing to do it! In addition... Lingxiu also wants to go to the south to see the sea, please help her!"

Lingxi beside her with bright eyes, also knelt down and said, "Princess Wangfei, Lingxi also wants to go to the south to see what the sea looks like! Please help me!"

These two girls are really good at talking, Song Qingyue was so touched that she was sore and soft, she stepped forward to help them up, and said softly: "I will choose a cupboard for each of you to take, the food in the south is different from ours here, you If there is anything you want to eat, just tell the cook. The climate is also different, so don’t hold back if you feel unwell, just ask a doctor if you need to, there is no need to save this little money.”

The two maids smiled and said: "Yes, we will take care of ourselves, so you don't have to worry about it."

Song Qingyue nodded, and said: "You each choose five people to take, and among the five people choose one of your own deputy, and the list will be handed over to the palace in three days."

Three days later, the list was submitted.

Dai Yuqin and Xie Lifen were named as deputy by Lingxiu and Lingxi.

Song Qingyue smiled knowingly after seeing it. These two are indeed good helpers. There is no other reason. These two used to be famous prostitutes.

The two of them were also full of expectations about going south to help the concubine and empress do great things.

It's just that Dou Xueer is a little unhappy.

The three of them have now bought a courtyard house with a well in the city, and most of the money was paid by Dou Xueer.In addition to the fixed five taels of monthly money, the comic book studio also has a commission for selling comic books.

It takes about half a month to finalize a comic strip of about 75 pages, and one writer is enough.Then it takes three senior painters to spend about a month to complete all the drafts, and the rigidity is about the same workload, and the three skilled stereotypes can complete the rigidity of all pages in about one month.

The monthly money of the writers, painters and engravers in the studio is five taels of silver.

In this way, the labor cost is 35 taels of silver.

The cost of printing ink, paper, and binding is about 25 copper coins per copy, plus the copyright fee of five copper coins per copy to the original author, and the cost of each printed copy is [-] cents.

The ex-factory price of a 75-page comic book is about 55 renminbi, and the price for southern traders who purchase in large quantities is sometimes [-] renminbi lower. On average, the ex-factory price of each book is about [-] renminbi.

For every comic book sold, the gross profit is around [-] Wen.

In this way, basically a new comic book can be paid back as long as it sells [-] copies.

The studio's share for the painters starts from [-] copies, and every time an additional copy is sold, each of the three painters gets a penny.

The three "Invincible Tour Press" that Dou Xueer participated in the production sold a total of more than 20 copies, plus the share of other works, in less than four months, Dou Xueer got nearly 200 taels Wenyin, you can become a little rich woman!
In Taiyuan City, the price of a courtyard house in a slightly remote location is only about 30 taels, and the one with a well is more expensive, around 50 taels. Adding some furniture and so on, it costs a total of 80 taels.

Recently, Mrs. Liu from the dental shop told her that if she wanted to change to a bigger house with better decoration, she could go to the bank for a loan.For those like her who have a fixed income of five taels of silver per month, they can borrow up to 200 taels of silver from the bank, which can be repaid slowly over ten years, and they only need to pay about three taels of silver every month.

Although there is interest, the rent for two houses with courtyards and gardens in Taiyuan City is more than this price.

Moreover, the housing price in Taiyuan City has been rising for the past two years, so if you buy it early, you will definitely not suffer a loss.

Dou Xueer was very moved when she heard this, and planned to discuss it with her good sisters tonight.

When she was happily looking forward to living in a beautiful house with her two good sisters, the two good sisters suddenly said that they would leave next month to go to Fujian to help the princess.

How could Dou Xueer accept this?
"Fujian?!" Dou Xueer opened her eyes wide, looking at Dai Yuqin and Xie Lifen in disbelief.

Dai Yuqin said: "I'm going to Quanzhou, and Fen'er is going to Xinghua."

"Are you still together?" Dou Xueer couldn't understand even more.

Xie Lifen took a piece of crispy stewed pork belly for Dou Xueer, and said softly, "My good sister, you have achieved something with your empress now, and Yuqin and I are nothing. We also want to do well Do something!"

"But...but are you going to leave me here alone?!" Tears couldn't stop rolling in Dou Xueer's eyes, and Dai Yuqin and Xie Lifen were very reluctant to see it.

But the decision has been made and cannot be changed.

They are not willing to live their whole lives in the library with three taels of silver every month.Lingxi and Lingxiu are still twins, they are both willing to separate in order to make some achievements, why can't they?
Never, never, let them see a wider world in the books in the library.

They also want to see the blue and boundless sea like the sky, the sea fish as big as Mount Tai in the myths and legends, and the eight-clawed monster described in the travel notes.

In the past, they had no chance, and they could only sit in a small house, looking at the courtyard above their heads and dreaming. Now that they have the chance, why would they refuse?

The three sisters couldn't agree to go together, and they broke up after a meal.

Dou Xueer cried sadly all night, but it failed to change the determination of the other two to leave.

After breakfast the next morning, Dai Yuqin and Xie Lifen went out to the library to have a meeting with Lingxiu and Lingxi.

The concubine said that a telegram came from the capital, and four auditors and officials, the so-called interns in the previous life, would be sent over to serve as math teachers and mix in with the team.

In addition, the emperor said that he hoped that the scientific magazine would publish a special issue of this article as soon as possible, without having to wait until the beginning of next month.

Coincidentally, Li Zhao spent one night polishing the article. Song Qingyue sent someone to take it to a printing factory to print it quickly after reading it once. Based on the existing mechanical concepts, the concepts of "friction force" and "pulley block" are introduced.

The official "Special Issue on Structural Mechanics" comes out in late June.

After seeing it, several students from Taiyuan Academy of Sciences were extremely excited. They ran to the principal's office and sent an application to the principal to observe and study at the shipyard.

This application was sent to Song Qingyue's desk that day.

It just so happened that the literacy class team going south was leaving tomorrow, so Song Qingyue sent two servant girls to the Academy of Sciences to inform the students to pack their luggage quickly and set off with the literacy class gentlemen at the beginning of tomorrow.The empress gave 200 taels of silver research funding each, and asked to write three papers that satisfied her within two years. If they were completed ahead of schedule, they could come back early.

His Royal Highness Jin Wang personally wrote a letter of recommendation to them, asking them to work as associate professors at the Academy of Sciences in the capital.

Those few students didn't even have time to say a few words of thanks after hearing this. Among them, only two were local students from Taiyuan who went home to bid farewell to their parents, and one was from Pingyang Mansion who didn't even have time to go home to say goodbye to their parents. Saying goodbye to my parents, I hastily wrote a letter to my family, and then I packed my luggage, planning to follow the team to the south tomorrow.

It is relatively easy to become a Jiupin doctor, but the opportunity to be an associate professor is once in a lifetime.

That's an official of the sixth grade!Six products!
No imperial examination, no need to participate in the mathematics competition like thousands of horses crossing a single-plank bridge, this opportunity is not to be missed, and time will never come again.

Although being an official is not tax-exempt now, the social status is different. The county magistrate is only seventh-rank, which is equivalent to those county magistrates who came from a Jinshi background and have to call "Shangguan" when they see themselves.

What's more, if you can become the director of a certain royal shipyard in the future, wouldn't it be more rewarding than being a county magistrate? !
These students really guessed what Li Zhao was thinking.

Now the conditions and talent reserves are limited, but in the future the management of the shipyard must be technically savvy.

The teaching team of the literacy class set off with the north-south cargo caravan of Prince Jin's Mansion. The caravan has guards from the Palace, which can basically guarantee the safety along the way.

After the two teams set off, Li Zhao gave Song Qingyue a list of factories managed by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a total of 360 and eight factories.

"Is this killing me? So much!?"

Song Qingyue's eyes widened, and she looked at Li Zhao in disbelief, feeling as if she was going back to her past life as a social animal working for black-hearted capitalists.

The more I looked at Li Zhao at night, the more I felt that his heart was dark, so I bit down on his chin.

"Are you being bitten by a dog again?" Li Zhao smiled wickedly, picked her up, leaned against the window sill and kissed her fiercely.

Originally, he just wanted to tease her, but seeing the watery eyes of the woman, he was accidentally ignited.

Ever since Song Qingyue gave birth to Li Fugui, he has been careful every time, but it's been a long time since she cried and begged for mercy...

The next day, both of them got up late.

Song Qingyue reached out and opened the bed curtain, wanting to ask the maid to bring a glass of water, but when she made a sound, she realized that her throat was like a broken bellows, and she couldn't help kicking the stinky man beside her angrily.

Li Zhao also woke up, he was content last night, and his temper was at his best.He was not angry at all when he was kicked, he grabbed the beauty's slender ankle with a smile, kneaded it in his hand, and coaxed him sweetly in his mouth, thinking that such a day would be really enjoyable.

Beijing.

The latest batch of ripe purple grapes was carried into the imperial dining room by a team of young eunuchs.

Aunt Si Shan took the list and assigned her maids to divide the grapes into pieces.

Eight strings for the queen mother, six strings for the empress, five strings for the noble concubine, four strings for each concubine, four strings for each princess and prince living in the palace, three strings for the concubine, two strings for each of the following, and the rest Give it all to the emperor, and possibly to his servants and ministers.

The little maids were drooling and sent their own grapes to various palaces.

A palace maid named Liu Mei was valued by Aunt Si Shan in the imperial dining room. Si Shan personally selected a bunch of grapes of excellent quality from the basket and handed them to her, and said with a smile, "You go and give them to the son of Jin Wangfu." Manager Wang personally came over and ordered that His Royal Highness would give you five skewers, but His Royal Highness Shizi is young and has a small stomach, so he is afraid that if you give too much, he will spoil his stomach, so let us give you one skewer."

Liu Mei's eyes lit up when she heard the words, her aunt really valued her.

Manager Wang personally ordered her to do it.

Liu Mei happily held the grapes and was about to go to Xiao Shizi's residence, just a turn, the scene by the lake made her almost scream, but unfortunately she suppressed the scream, but did not hold the grapes in her hand, A bunch of good grapes hit the ground, and several of them were broken.

It was a high-ranking eunuch, holding the collar of another high-ranking eunuch in his hand, trying to press his face into the water.

The eunuch standing by the lake heard the movement behind him, turned his head and saw her.

Liu Mei shook her head with a pale face, her eyes were full of pleading.

Instead of being nervous, the eunuch walked over with the half-dead man in his hands like dragging a dead dog, looked down at the grapes that had fallen on the ground, and said with a smile, "My sister is the imperial cooker." The maid of honor?"

Liu Mei burst into tears in fright, covered her mouth, and shook her head desperately.

The eunuch looked like a goblin, with a particularly high bridge of nose, deep eye sockets, green pupils, horrified under Liu Mei's heart, this... this is the eunuch Tan Hongen who is famous for his beauty!

Seeing Tan Hongen lifting the fat eunuch effortlessly with one hand, he said with a smile, "Sister, do you recognize this one?"

Liu Mei took a closer look, feeling even more frightened!

Isn't this Pan Ling, the chief eunuch of Kunning Palace?
Tan Hongen pointed to himself and said: "My sister should recognize who I am, right? I'm here today, I have a favor to ask my sister to help. I just passed by here, and I happened to meet this father-in-law who wanted to push the person next to the prince. Tell Ah Fang's maid to enter the water. Sister, did you see it just now?"

Liu Mei's mind has become a mess because of fear, and when she heard someone asking her if she saw it, she instinctively shook her head vigorously.

But the one in front of him frowned instead, staring at him like a wolf.

Liu Mei whimpered desperately to hold back her crying, Tan Hongen's goblin-like face leaned closer to her, and asked again: "This eunuch is going to murder the maid next to Prince Jin's son, did my sister see it just now?"

Liu Mei had no choice but to nod instead, and then burst into tears. (end of this chapter)
