"Okay, Lao Han, you really took care of Sister Daiyu." Xiao Huan said in shock.

"It's all because of the teacher's guidance and the teacher's rich experience." Zhao Han is an honest person, and of course he will not take credit for himself.

"I heard it. Next time you go to Hachigong's world and be the protagonist. An outstanding student should be the protagonist." Wen Rensheng said angrily.

"Thank you, teacher. By the way, what type of protagonist is Hachiko's world?" Zhao Han asked happily.

"dog."

…………

Southern Island.

Jia Rong and Jia Lian are developing rapidly.

Compared to Jia Baoyu who was still in Wenrou Township, they had already started industrialization.

The three of them have already agreed that some will be in charge of the inside and some will be in charge of the outside.

Jia Baoyu is in charge, taking the main line of emotional flow.

And they are engaged in the external environment, and the external environment affects the internal environment.

In order to avoid literary inquisition, the author of Dream of Red Mansions tried his best to remove the background of the era and country, and even deliberately confused the various timelines, making people often confused after reading it. You can't even figure out the exact ages of the male and female protagonists, just to prevent others from seeing it.

Call it an insinuation.

Unlike Wen Rensheng, who has always been eighteen years old, so clear and simple.

It is obvious that the author's efforts were successful. Although the last forty chapters were lost, at least after completion, it was officially published by his contemporaries and then widely circulated.

At that time, the authors of many books were killed by the Literary Prison, which was horrific.

Qingfeng is illiterate, so why is he flipping through the books?

My heart illuminated the moon, but the wind cut my head.

Even so, when it comes to the plot, the author also had to write about some external circumstances.

For example, Fool Xue was kidnapped by bandits when he went on a far journey, and was rescued by Liu Xianglian.

What does this symbolize?

It means that bandits have been rife outside and the people are in dire straits. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

You must know that when idiot Xue goes out, he is definitely not alone. He must be with the shopkeeper, guards, servants, and maids.

Then came the Jia Mansion and Zhuangzi, which often suffered from droughts, the harvests were always bad, and the rent could not be collected. The Jia Mansion also wanted to have a reputation for kindness, resulting in less and less annual income.

These are clear signs of environmental deterioration.

Now, Jia Rong and Jia Lian are transforming the external environment.

Now their pharmaceutical industry, relying on some secret recipes and some unique formulas passed by later generations, has become popular all over the world and is very popular.

Among them, medicines that treat malaria, medicines that refresh your mind, medicines that replenish qi and blood, medicines that stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, medicines that fight bacteria, medicines that relieve pain and lower fever... are some of the medicines that are effective and widely used.

For example, when it comes to colds and colds, ancient people lacked fever-reducing medicines, which resulted in many people, especially infants and young children, being burned to death by a high fever or cold.

In fact, nothing is needed at this time. As long as it can lower the fever, most people can survive.

Whether the medicine is effective or not is the best way for people to see.

An effective medicine is naturally sought after by everyone, and it is absolutely necessary, because if you don't take medicine when you are sick, you are just kidding with your own life.

Unless you are poor, as long as you have some assets, you need to take medicine when you get sick. It is not uncommon for families to go bankrupt because of taking medicine.

Now Jia Lian's pharmaceutical factory is named "Yangrong Pharmaceutical", a very modern name.

But it’s nothing. The Dream of Red Mansions has already touched on modern times, with self-ringing bells and ships.

Yangrong Pharmaceutical is booming, with monthly turnover exceeding 300,000 taels and profits exceeding 120,000 taels.

These days it’s completely a seller’s market. It’s an era of extreme scarcity of supplies. Everything is in short supply.

There is also a shortage of grain, ironware, and cloth. Of course, this refers to the shortage of farmers without spending power. Landowners with spending power are not short of food and cloth.

Many people have free labor but no opportunity to convert their labor into cash.

And labor force is the most precious resource in the industrial era.

As long as there is labor, resources can be exploited in great abundance.

In agricultural society, on the other hand, resources are extremely limited and labor is wasted... This can be seen from countless massacres.

From the perspective of industrial society, this is such a waste. The massacre of hundreds of thousands of people only earns one hundred a day, but it is still billions...

Agricultural societies don't think so. With fewer people, there will be more land, and the dynasty will be more stable for decades.

And Yangrong Pharmaceutical is trying its best to convert these excess labor into wealth.

They recruited landless farmers, homeless people, beggars... and put them all into factories.

The salary given was extremely low, which was enough for three meals a day, plus a place to live.

But that's enough for many people.

As for saving enough money to get married and have children, most landless farmers have no such luxury.

What do thirty million bachelors count for in future generations?

In this era, many people had no chance to leave any descendants. Only landlords, officials and gentry could leave many descendants.

On this day, the two of them were looking at the ledger.

"The industrial population has exceeded 88,887 people, and the silver taels on the books have exceeded 1.2 million taels. In just a few years, it has exceeded Lin Ruhai's lifetime savings, and there is still a big gap in the salt inspection censor." Jia Rong sighed.

.

"The speed at which industrial society creates wealth is completely unimaginable in agricultural society, because the resources and labor force that can be utilized in industrial society are completely different from those in agricultural society," Jia Lian said.

"Yes, industrial society can use coal, oil, and electricity as power. From an energy perspective, it far exceeds human bioenergy and can create massive wealth. The final indicator that restricts the production capacity of industrial society is actually agricultural society.

The most troublesome thing is the population. The larger the population, the larger the scale of industry will be, and the higher the efficiency will be. The population is sparse, and no matter how high the technology is, it cannot support industrialization." Jia Rong had to sigh, this feudal society is wasteful.

Too much labor.

While the two were calculating, suddenly, a manager came from outside. He took a letter from a pigeon and reported urgently:

"Something bad has happened. Two bosses, Governor Fanyu, asked our branch stationed in the local provincial capital for 300,000 taels of silver to assist in the suppression. They also said that this is what is needed for one season and will be collected next season."

When he said this, the host was sweating profusely and looked nervous.

Once the money comes out, they won't be able to work in Semicolon for long, and they will just close their doors.

"This is not a wild goose plucking its feathers, this is a wild goose getting into the pot!" Jia Rong was furious when he heard this.

Jia Lian looked calm.

If the goose gets fat, there will naturally be more jealous people.

This is feudal society. The size of your business does not depend on how smart you are, but on how big your official position is.

Of course, even if you are the emperor, your business scale will be restricted, mainly by eunuchs and civil servants.

"My boss, what should we do? They give us a reply within three days, otherwise they will send troops to conquer." The boss said hurriedly.

He currently earns 735 taels of silver per year, plus many benefits, but he doesn't want such a good position to disappear.

The most important thing is that the two bosses treat him as a human being.

Once it is gone, he will have to live a lifeless existence, enduring humiliation and humiliation to survive.

"Did you report the name of the Xue family?" Jia Rong asked after calming down.

"Reported, they said that a down-and-out imperial businessman dared to interfere in the imperial court's major event of suppressing bandits?" the chief said helplessly.

"Have the names of the Wang family and the Jia family been reported?" Jia Lian asked.

"I didn't dare to report it without your permission."

"Sign up and give it a try."

Half a day later, the news came and the chief came to report again.

"I reported it, and they said it would be at least 200,000 taels, not a penny less."

"It seems that the Jia and Wang family are much stronger than the Xue family. They suddenly lost one hundred thousand taels. No wonder Aunt Xue wants to join the Jia family." Jia Lian said with a smile.

"But in this case, don't we become workers for them? We have worked hard for so long, three months in a quarter, and the total profit is only 360,000 taels, and they want 200,000. This is still a semicolon demand!"

Jia Rong said harshly.

The boss was also helpless.

Obviously this business is not easy to do. The influence of the Jia family and the Wang family is in the north and south of the Yangtze River. This is the land of Tiannan, which is too far away.

The other party was willing to give up one hundred thousand taels, probably for the sake of Wang Ziteng. After all, the other party was still a popular figure in front of the emperor at this time, held military power, and had some connections with Governor Fanyi.

"You go down first, we will discuss it immediately."

Later, Jia Lian and Jia Rong contacted Xiao Huan and asked her to help contact Jia Baoyu and hold a three-party meeting together.

This was the only trick Wen Rensheng used on the underlying mechanisms of this world to trick them.
