Chapter 614: Restoring Order 23

The emperor felt more confident in using Han Shu, and soon after, Han Xue was engaged to the crown prince.

Although Han Xue married the prince, the Han family was looked down upon by the aristocratic families, so Han Hen, who was over 20 years old, had not found a suitable wife yet.

Eighteen-year-old Han Chou was ignored, and sixteen-year-old Han Yuan was also ostracized even at the Imperial College.

The distinction between aristocratic families and humble families was clear. Aristocratic families controlled most of the resources, both economically and culturally, giving them a high position of power, sometimes even surpassing the imperial power.

The stack of secret recipes in Han Xue's hand is the weapon to defeat the economic monopoly of the aristocratic families.

Making wine, vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil all takes time, so Han Xue had no choice but to write down the recipes and hand them over to Han Yuan to implement slowly later.

Then he wrote about papermaking, sericulture and weaving, cotton and linen weaving, loom modification and other techniques, and secretly designed a small steam engine.

Han Chou couldn't change Han Xue's obsession with the steam engine, so he simply turned a blind eye and studied the use of wool on the side.

Soon news came from Pingcheng that cattle were no longer available for purchase from the grassland tribes, and only skinny sheep were available.

Cowhide leather can be used to make military boots, soft sheepskin can be used to make waistcoats, and there is also an endless supply of wool that can be woven into cloth.

If we want to change people's livelihood and impact the monopoly of the aristocratic families, we must reduce production costs, increase productivity, and use steam engines as a power source. In this way, large-scale production can complete the task in the shortest time.

On the surface, Han Lin and Han Hen died in Yangcheng after the battle, and Han Shu, the surviving member of the Han family, firmly defended Pingcheng;

Han Yuan was poisoned and dying, so he sold a lot of shops to raise funds to transport food and fodder to Pingcheng.

Han Yuan dragged his sick body to sell off the Han family's land on a large scale, and used all the money to comfort the families of those who died in the battle. He is now seriously ill and bedridden.

Gu Zhao was deposed, the Queen died, and Han Xue was poisoned and fell into a coma, leaving behind only a sickly baby, a month old, of Han family blood. The Han family was completely ruined! Without the Han family, who held the military power behind Gu Zhao, he could not achieve anything great.

Han Chou has the memories of two lives. If he wants Gu Zhao to take the throne, he must break the monopoly of the aristocratic family!

After Han Shu experienced the news of the Han family members being killed one by one, he would soon be "depressed, his old illness would relapse, and he would be unable to serve as a general." At this time, the Tatar army crossed the border and attacked the imperial court. Not one in ten of the noble families in the capital survived!

Economically, Hancheng factories produced a variety of daily necessities, breaking the monopoly of salt, sugar, tea and other commodities held by aristocratic families and integrating them into people's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

As long as the new emperor comes to power, he will redistribute the land occupied by the aristocratic families to the poor and promulgate a new land distribution policy, which will greatly weaken the power of the aristocratic families.

Han Xue devoted herself fully to the construction of the factory. She wore men's clothes and called herself Yu Siye to the outside world. After guiding the construction of the factory, she devoted herself to the extraction of penicillin.

Han Chou brought all the trusted members of the Han family, who had been secretly trained, to the mountains north of Hancheng, where he built eight processing plants to refine steel and forge weapons. This was the foundation of the Han family's survival.

Qiuqiu provided too many formulas, so Han Xue improved the production conditions based on the existing conditions. After discussing with Han Chou, they built 18 factories.

Eighteen young managers were selected from the managers of the Han family shop, and each manager was responsible for the construction of a factory.

These eighteen shopkeepers were responsible for eighteen different businesses. After the construction of this place was successfully completed, they would be assigned to various cities to build headquarters in the raw material production areas. They now needed intensive training and learning, not only to master some core technologies but also to master the secret recipes.

In a feudal dynasty, possessing a slave's indenture means controlling the life and death of the slaves. As long as the Han family still has absolute combat power, they can control these people and their descendants.

Han Chou is not afraid of the secret recipe being leaked. These products can guarantee a five-year monopoly period, which will give the aristocratic family a fatal blow. At this time, the Han family will also withdraw from the economic monopoly. They can only leave these industries to the crying family.

This was originally built under the supervision of Han Xue, and Han Xue married into the royal family. These shop owners were the shop owners left by her mother. The dowry left by her mother to her daughter should have belonged to Han Xue's children.

Therefore, the indentures of these managers were all in Han Xue's hands, and they also recognized Han Xue as their master and Ku Ku as their young master.

The managers, who were originally a little unconvinced, were gradually convinced by the abilities demonstrated by Han Xue.

Not long after, they became the original team of the eight-year-old prince, and their descendants became the power of the new emperor. Thinking about it, they felt fortunate for their current loyalty and submission.

This most original business team became the pioneer of Gu Zhao's elimination of the monopoly of the aristocratic families. Later, Ku Ku completely controlled the economic lifeline of Dayong, which was also one of the capitals for his rise to power.

Food, clothing, housing, transportation, books, wine and tea, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and sugar alone account for half of the total.

Lard was needed to make soap and facial cream. During this period, pork was a meat only eaten by the poor. The nobles ate beef, donkey meat, venison, etc.

So the purchase of the pig went smoothly, but there was not much lard. Han Chou was still studying how to castrate the pig so that he could feed fat pigs with more fat.

Qiuqiu sighed: You are serious about your career!

The factory here is under construction in full swing, with sufficient manpower and material resources, professional guidance, and skilled craftsmen to carry out the work. As long as the raw materials are found and the recipes are followed, production will begin one after another.

Han Xue, a genius with the aura of a lucky girl, made glass in an almost impossible environment and even made several palm-sized mirrors.

In her words, it was just a few simple chemical experiments. All she had to do was control the temperature. It was much simpler than the Olympic semi-finals.

Han Chou, who was originally going to comfort his sister, said: Han Xue's education since childhood was all theoretical knowledge. This kind of hands-on experiment was only allowed because her grandmother Hua Qingluo had to talk to the school several times to get a special laboratory approved for her. Compared with those who participated in the Olympics and had professional teachers and special laboratories, her learning and practice environment was much worse, but she still completed various experiments. Therefore, Han Xue is a complete genius in these aspects.

Han Chou became a little withdrawn again. Despite the inconvenient transportation, he completed the reform of all the shops in just one month. Not only did he transfer more than half of the shops to Han Xue, but he also doubled the turnover of the original shops.

Especially in the catering industry, with the investment of new snacks and recipes of dishes, the turnover increased exponentially. He also used the cover of the restaurant to purchase food and sent it to the border openly, which relieved Han Shu's troubles.

The most important thing is that according to the roster of the families of the fallen soldiers, we provide condolences to the families of the soldiers and those in need, and also recruit them to work in Han’s shops. With the help of escorting goods, we send the relatives of the Hancheng soldiers to settle in Hancheng.

When Han Chou returned again, Han Xue was actually instructing the carpenter to make a simple sewing machine. Due to the craftsmanship, the needle angle was relatively large, which could be used to sew sheepskin.
