Quick Transmigration: Snatching Golden Fingers - Chapter 21
[Concubine’s Palace Fighting System 10]
Kangxi thought it would be a simple matter to tell Dong Wenqing to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan. After all, the royal status was still very attractive to ordinary people. Why even say that you can’t inherit the throne and come back?
This made him smile a little bitterly. He had heard that the rulers of some Western countries were women, but he never thought that the Qing Dynasty would also have a female emperor. After all, the Qing Dynasty stipulated that women should not discuss politics. So he didn’t pay attention to Wen Qing’s words at all, and only regarded it as a joke.
“You really don’t want to recognize your ancestors and return to the ancestry?” Now, Kangxi desperately hopes that she will recognize her ancestors and return to the ancestry, both out of appreciation and hope that her things will not fall into the hands of others.
“Go back to be a raised canary. Even if you don’t get married, you won’t be able to escape a political marriage, and then stay in the back house with your husband and teach your son for the rest of your life? Do you think it’s appropriate?” Wen Qing looked at him, and it was rare Seriously, he said, “I have traveled around the world for fifteen years, and my knowledge and experience are by no means comparable to those of ordinary people. I have acquired the strengths of various countries, and am proficient in various miscellaneous studies such as agriculture, politics, engineering, medicine, and military. You think those ‘mysterious forces’ All the things I have made are made by myself. I can study rice with a yield of thousands of kilograms per mu, and I can also study powerful weapons. The so-called Wen Ke Anbang, Wu Neng Dingguo is no more than that. So, you still Do you think it’s appropriate for me to be a back house woman?”
Kangxi was shocked, not only because of what she said, but also because those things really came from her hands. If this is true, her value is immeasurable! It’s really a waste to just let her be a back house woman!
Kangxi was in a complicated mood for a while, looked at her inexplicably, and after a while he sighed, “Then what do you think?”
“I want to become an official in the dynasty!” Wen Qing said without hesitation, to become an official first, then become an emperor, step by step, or I’m afraid others will not accept it all at once. “It’s not unprecedented for a woman to be an official. I am full of talent, and I have no shortage of knowledge and experience. Why can’t I be an official?”
Kangxi was not surprised when she said such shocking words. In fact, before asking her, he had suddenly thought of her plan. She never hides the origin of her return from overseas. She spends a lot of money to buy shops, sell all kinds of mysterious things, and use gimmicks to attract people’s attention, just to attract his attention! I’m afraid she planned from the beginning to show enough value to negotiate with him.
And he had to go along with her, because he really couldn’t bear such a talent! Besides, she is still her own child.
Of course, Kangxi didn’t promise her directly, and told her to go back first with a straight face. This girl is not afraid, she dares to say anything, she has to frustrate her spirit.
Wen Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Her goal should have been achieved. If Kangxi did not agree with her proposal, she would either die quietly or be imprisoned in the palace, and would not be able to leave the palace at all! Since she was let out of the palace, her proposal was already inseparable.
Kangxi was also calm, and after a month of calm, the news of Li Jia’s miscarriage and hemorrhage died in the palace. The moment Li Jiashi saw Wen Qing, she knew that the events of the year might not be able to hold back, so she urgently conceived her sixth child with Pregnant Zidan. She thought that for the sake of the royal flesh and blood, Kangxi would not touch her, Let her have ten months to think about countermeasures. Unexpectedly, this time Kangxi did not play his cards according to common sense.
Love wants to live, hate wants to die, Kangxi has long regarded her as not pleasing to the eye, but the crown prince has protected her in many ways. Kangxi didn’t want to hurt the father and son’s family, so he tolerated her until today. But Wenqing’s appearance just gave him a reason, so Li Jiashi was tragic.
Her palace fighting system can only make her beautiful to tempt men, or give out some pet products such as pregnancy pills, and there is no force value. Kangxi wants to kill her without any effort. And it’s done very cleanly, so that people can’t find flaws.
The prince was distraught, and Li Jia had already brushed his favorability to over 90. When she died, he seemed to have become a walking corpse.
Seeing him like this, Kangxi became more and more annoyed. He already had the idea of abolishing the prince. Although it was only a passing thought, once the idea came to him, it was not far from being implemented. After another half month, Kangxi suddenly announced that he would take back the prince’s eldest daughter, Aixinjue Luo Wenqing.
The official statement is that when Li Jia gave birth to a pair of twins, the girl was naturally Wen Qing. As soon as she was born, she was ordered by Qin Tianjian to say that she was extremely precious, but she could not see her family before the age of sixteen, otherwise she would easily die early, so she was raised outside. Now that she has passed her sixteenth birthday safely, naturally To pick up.
Most people are very curious about this sudden appearance of the prince’s daughter, but it’s just curious, but it doesn’t matter if it’s a geek.
On the contrary, several cheap uncles were greatly shocked. No wonder she was so bold, she was not afraid of cheating the prince, and called them uncles. It turned out that she knew her identity a long time ago!
“The eldest niece’s mouth is really strict, even the tenth uncle hides it, and also cheats the tenth uncle, a thousand taels of silver, did you secretly watch our jokes at that time?”
“What’s your one thousand taels? This girl has harassed him for more than a hundred thousand taels!” Yin Yan glared at Wen Qing through gritted teeth.
“Ninth uncle is so unreasonable. You are only allowed to cheat me with a shop of 100,000 taels, and I am not allowed to cheat you? Relatives, the more you cheat, the deeper your relationship! Besides, I have partnered with you in the soap and glass business, you Did you make a lot of money?”
Yinzhen hadn’t spoken yet, and Yinzhen, who was silent on the side, interrupted, “If the ninth brother doesn’t want to do it, the eldest niece can come to the fourth uncle, and the fourth uncle will not cheat you!”
“Okay,” Wen Qing agreed, “I really have a business I want to partner with Fourth Uncle.”
“What business? The eldest niece will also bring Uncle Thirteen!”
“No problem!” Wen Qing said with a smile.
“I said, it’s too much for you to dig walls in front of me!” Yin Rai said with a dark face.
“What is digging a wall? The eldest niece is not yours alone.”
“you!”
…
In short, the process of Wen Qing’s integration into the royal family went very smoothly, and everyone accepted her without any obstacles, especially her relationship with a few cheap uncles was very good.
In November, when the court was quiet, Kangxi suddenly threw a bombshell—appointing Wen Qing as the magistrate of Qing County.
As soon as this appointment came out, the court immediately exploded, and almost everyone held an objection, saying that women should not discuss politics is the ancestral precept and cannot be violated. But there are also several princes and elder brothers headed by the fourth elder brother who agree. They feel that Wen Qing’s talent and ability are not inferior to men, so why not lose? Simply beyond them too much! Of course, such talent should not be confined to the back house.
At that time, they didn’t know that the eldest niece was going to snatch the throne from them in the future, and they all said good things to her one by one. They would never have thought that Wen Qing’s ambition was more than the head of a county!
The courtroom was noisy for a few days, but what Kangxi had already decided would naturally not be changed easily. Let the discussion in the courtroom be in full swing. When they said enough, he resolutely let Wen Qing take office!
Of course, Wen Qing packed up and took up her post in a hurry. Fortunately, Qingxian County is not far from the capital. It is estimated that Kangxi put her here for the convenience of inspection.
Although she is a seventh-rank sesame official, Wen Qing feels that it is very good. It is the right way to take one step at a time. If she is suddenly parachuted into the capital, no one will obey her. It is better to start from the local area. Anyway, Kangxi can live for 16 years. She has time to make political achievements and make everyone admire her.
After Wen Qing arrived in Qingxian, there were some twists and turns at first, but after she was skillfully resolved, there was no major problem. In fact, the people at the bottom don’t care who the superiors are at all. They only care about whether they can get enough food and clothing. Whoever can make their lives better will naturally gain their support.
After Wen Qing took office, she first inspected the actual local situation, then studied the most suitable wheat for the local area, and promoted the cultivation of high-yielding foods such as potatoes and corn. Potatoes had already been introduced into China at this time, but they were not widely promoted. It would not be fully promoted until the Qianlong period, so Wen Qing brought this step forward. The wheat in the north can only be planted for one season, and the potatoes and corn are planted just after the wheat is harvested, so there is no delay.
It happened that this year was a good year, and the farmers had a bumper harvest. The average yield of wheat per mu reached 1,000 catties, and the potatoes were even more exaggerated, with an average yield of 1,500 catties! There is surplus grain in the harvest year, and the people are happy to call Wen Qing the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva!
Next, Wen Qing reformed agricultural tools, innovated irrigation technology, improved agricultural production efficiency, and liberated a number of laborers. Then a textile factory was built, and most of the recruits were female workers. Most of these women are rural women, who will work in the fields as well, so there is no scruples that women should not make public appearances. Moreover, the textile factories are basically all female workers, and there is nothing to guard against.
Wen Qing paid more attention to the textile factory. She had already applied the steam engine to the factory, which was an unprecedented reform. Because of the use of the machine, the production efficiency of the factory is extremely high.
The more efficient the factory is, the more wages the workers receive, and economic income determines the status of the family. This is true in modern times, and not so much in ancient times. When the income of these female workers has become the main source of income for the family, it is needless to say that their waists will naturally harden.
As the income of factory workers became higher and higher and the lives of farmers became better and better, those urbanites who claimed to be in the prime of life could no longer sit still, and gradually joined the army of female workers.
At the same time, Wen Qing built a technical school to teach ordinary people their skills. At the beginning, it was divided into boys’ schools and girls’ schools, but later it was gradually integrated under Wen Qing’s intentional guidance.
Wen Qing did not say from the very beginning that women should be self-improving and that women can hold up half the sky, but instead influenced them subtly in education, commending some self-reliance and self-improvement women to guide them. This kind of change is subtle, like boiling a frog in warm water. It changes little by little. When people notice it, they don’t even think there is anything wrong, and they have unknowingly accepted it.
Reforming agriculture, building factories, recruiting women workers, and building women’s schools… Wen Qing spent five years turning Qingxian into a national textile trade center, and at the same time, it also showed the different power of women.
