Chapter 304: Dancing (I)

This matter was known by Miao Guifei, and it happened that the Queen Mother was kind, so she wanted to match her aunt with her brother's second son. Who knew that the aunt could see it and did not agree. ”

"I see." Wang Ju finally understood why Cao Tong's eldest son was making trouble for himself, and it turned out to be this festival in the middle.

"What is that?"

"Nothing. Majesty, the minister is ashamed. ”

"I know you best, and I can't blame you. If you can only blame God for not having long eyes, if you are a few years older, Renzong will definitely summon you at that time, and if you don't make a family appointment with the Li family's lady, you won't be embarrassed. ”

In fact, without Concubine Li, this matter is not easy.

Even if Wang Ju marries Zhao Niannu, even if Zhao Niannu is not a direct eldest princess now, it really does not affect Wang Ju's career. If it's an ordinary minister, that's fine. Now there is a minister who is both civil and military, can Zhao Ji be willing to use it?

But on the other hand, if there was no thing that Wang Ju did later, how could he enter Zhao Niannu's eyes?

"Your Majesty, it's not necessarily the Cao family, and it doesn't have to be a high-ranking family, there are still a lot of good people in the world."

"However, these young heroes together let you compare."

Wang Ju was silent

Guan Jian can't afford to be in charge of this.

"A few days ago, my aunt found me and asked me to let her move out of the palace, but I didn't agree at first, and finally couldn't bear her soft pleas, so I agreed."

"It's good to move out and live, and you can meet more people, and your mood will be more comfortable."

…………

"Da Lang, why is it so late?" Lu Ping asked.

"His Majesty summoned me again."

"Majesty, what does Majesty look like?" Lu Ping asked curiously. Dare to love him, he still doesn't know that Zhao Dalang is Zhao Ji.

"What does it look like? looks very similar to Zhao Dalang. ”

"That's pretty good, too."

In fact, Zhao Ji looks relatively delicate, and after generations of posthumous improvements, since Zhao Zhen's time, he is no longer like Zhao Kuangyin's brothers, with a black cake face.

Can this long be healthy?

It is said that Li Yu and Zhao Ji are both beautiful men, alas, why do you want this beauty?

But today Wang Ju is very pleased, Han Qi summoned himself to the capital for interrogation, and the summoning was timely, at least he gave Zhao Ji a reassuring pill, and he would not be as panicked as in history. Maybe Wang Anshi will be reused, after all, the illness is so serious, just improving it can't solve the problem, but there will be one more choice. But now Zhao Ji won't move, he still has to wait for a few people to go down......

The three of them found a wine shop, had a light meal, and returned to the inn.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Wang Ju saw a familiar person.

Wang Ju stepped forward and said, "I've seen my concubine." ”

"My Highness is invited."

Wang Ju scratched his head, could it be that the little emperor sued Zhao Niannu? So he said to Lu Ping and Yelong Basheng: "You go in first, and I will come when I go." ”

"Dalang."

"This is the capital, not Beizhongshan."

"I heard that you were assassinated in Beizhongshan?" Concubines asked.

"The news spread so fast."

"You are an official, Beizhong Mountain is not far from Jingzhao Mansion, someone actually assassinated you, how can you not make a sensation?"

"But this time it's really a bit dangerous, and I almost even took the life of the second eldest son."

"No, let's get a few more guests."

"I have a lot of people in my family, and besides, I'm just an eight-rank official, and it's not decent to raise so many people."

"What eight-rank official, who would dare to treat you as an eight-rank official?"

It's really not easy to say, if it is more serious, Wang Ju will suffer a loss in his official position. However, I believe that since Zhao Ju shouted Wang Ju to the back of the palace to meet him alone in front of several prime ministers of Dongfu, the news will spread, and there will not be many people who are more serious with Wang Ju.

The official is not necessarily in the size, but in your status in the emperor's heart, so the pavilion official is expensive. Zhao Niannu's mansion is not far from the imperial city, and it cannot be far, just behind Shangshu Province, where the commercial atmosphere is not strong, but there are many dignitaries living in it.

Wang Ju looked at the house, it was dusk, but it was not yet dark, he could see a about, a medium house, but the building was also gorgeous, and there were many flowers and trees in it, and an old spring plum tree by the gate poked out of the flower branches, which were full of red and bright broken plum blossoms.

"It's not a red apricot coming out of the wall, it's a red plum coming out of the wall." Qian quipped.

Whether it's an apricot or a plum, you can't get out of the wall!

Ji'er walked in with Wang Ju and only opened the corner door. It's not that it's not grand, avoid suspicion!

Wang Ju glanced at it again, there were people in the house, some eunuchs, and some slaves and maids, indicating that Zhao Niannu was still under the influence of his father and his life was not luxurious.

Extravagance does not mean nobility, so this is destined for Li Wei's mother to have a conflict with Zhao Niannu.

Concubine took Wang Ju to the living room again, and Zhao Niannu was sitting in the room with a smile.

"I've seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."

"Don't be polite, I haven't seen you for almost two years, is it just a part?"

"Then you're welcome." Wang Ju said happily, and then sat down with a big grin.

"By the way, this is the Wang Lang in my heart, unparalleled."

"Breathless?"

"I also told the Queen Mother about you, saying that you behave freely. The Queen Mother said, it is you who are bold. I was not convinced, saying that you have a lot of respect for Cai Gong. The Queen Mother said that you were scheming, and even Cai Gong was used by you. ”

"The Queen Mother said this?"

"In other words, playing, in fact, the Queen Mother still values you very much."

"Your Highness, how did you move out of the palace?"

"The palace is gloomy, it's uncomfortable, it's better to come out and live, if you want to enter the palace, it's not that I can't enter the palace. I persuaded my mother to move out, but she was old and didn't want to move. ”

"I also told His Majesty in the palace in the afternoon that it's okay to move out."

"By the way, I asked you to come here because I wanted to say something."

"What?"

"Your bamboo paper gave a child of the Gao family a quarter of the deed shares?"

"Yes, there is such a thing, that person's name is Gao Shiqing."

"Seeking his refuge?"

"Sort of."

"Gao Shiqing picked up a bargain."

Now it seems that Gao Shiqing has picked up a bargain, and as Wang Ju grows up, even if there is no protection from the Gao family, no one dares to take the idea of bamboo paper lightly. However, at that time, it was very effective to hang the Gao family's brand, otherwise the business of that workshop was so good, but it had been smooth sailing.

This is also the disadvantage of the Song Dynasty, the irregularity of commerce, the protection of the merchant is the one who should not be protected and the most can do wrong, but the businessman who is serious about business has always been very sad, especially in the hands of Cai Jing.

"If you had known, you might as well have given me shelter."

Wang Ju was suffocating in his heart, your father had just died at that time, did you have the heart to protect the workshop, besides, where did I see you, I don't know if you will ignore me.

"Your Highness, why are you asking about this?"

"I moved out, and I was in a panic, and I still had nothing to do."

Wang Ju was happy, so now the Song Dynasty has a lot of ills, such as these clans, the country has to spend a lot of money to raise them every year, just like raising pigs, first in Kaifeng, then moved to Nanjing, Songzhou to raise, and then moved to Luoyang to raise, no way, there are not so many pigsties in Kaifeng. These children of the clan are idle, so they fight cocks and horses, like Zhao Ji, who likes calligraphy and painting, and is quite elegant.

"What are you laughing at, I'm a woman, what can I do?"

"So what are your highness's plans?"

"I also want to start a small business."

"Well, Your Highness, what business are you going to do?"

"It doesn't matter if you make money or not, you just want to find something to do, I don't know what industry you have in the future, I'll shelter you."

"There is really an industry, I don't know what the prospect is, wait until I plan Zheng Baiqu first, and then take the time to think about it."

"Really, what kind of industry?"

"It is a kind of porcelain, but it is different from ordinary porcelain, it will use the bones of cows, horses and sheep to burn ashes, as a material, and burn a strong porcelain."

"Ashes made of porcelain?"

"This kind of porcelain will be beautiful, but I don't know if everyone can accept it."

This Zhao Niannu didn't dare to answer, after all, there are more taboos in this era.

"Actually, I came up with it, not only for profit, but mainly to experiment with a new type of armor."

"How does porcelain have to do with armor?"

"This kind of porcelain is different from ordinary porcelain, it is very strong, and then it is wrapped with silk inside and out, which may be more expensive, but its weight can be reduced to less than 20 catties. What effect will twenty pounds of armor have if it is placed on the battlefield? ”

Not necessarily, the Song Dynasty would consume a lot of livestock every year, and bones were also valuable, but after boiling the soup, they were worthless and littered everywhere. If a little money is collected back, with the consumption of the Song Dynasty, it can basically meet the demand for materials. Then the cost of burning out is not necessarily very high, as for the silk in the Song Dynasty in the cost performance is very low, a horse of ten zhang really high-quality silk, but two money. Even if more than a dozen layers of silk are wrapped inside and out, three or four zhang of silk is enough.

Then maybe the cost of the new armor will be reduced by half compared to the cost of the current armor.

But now that the sample has not come out, Wang Ju doesn't dare to say it, and it may not be as strong as Wang Ju thought.

And now it's not the armor, but how much it will cost Zheng Baiqu to fall to the bottom.

Wang Ju said three years, three years should be about the same. However, he knew a little bit about Zheng Baiqu in history, first Hou Ke, that time took eight or nine years, and it was terminated due to famine, and it was repaired for thirty percent. However, during the Daguan period, Zhao Yan completed all the remaining projects in less than two years. Why did Hou Ke take so long to finish the project and what about the money? I had no money, so I had to levy some unpaid people, and gnawed slowly, and most of them were stone roads, relying on this poor people, I couldn't gnaw for another nine years.

Don't look at Zhao Ji patting his chest and packing tickets, once the money is spent too much, there will be controversy in the court.

This money made Zhao Ji miserable, and Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu suffered, but Wang Ju found that he also suffered himself.

"What are you thinking?"

"Nothing?"

"By the way, Guangnan has donated some Li cloth, what Jibeibu is more beautiful than the one over there, soft and sweat-absorbing, Your Majesty sent some to me, you are repairing water conservancy, it is very hard, I will send you a few horses."

"Jibeb?" Wang Ju couldn't help laughing, in fact, it is cotton cloth, not cotton cloth, Hainan and Liangguang are coarse cotton wool, cotton wool is short, it is more difficult to weave cloth with the current process, but Li women are skillful, get silk from the hands of the Central Plains people, and then blend it with cotton, so there is this kind of Jibei cloth, there are many types, the one who makes bed sheets is called Li Dan, the one who makes decorations is called Li Curtain, and the one who covers several cases is called Saddle.

Moreover, the Li people exclusively take the color silk of the Central Plains, and blend the color silk with cotton, so that the color silk becomes a colorful pattern by itself, and the different patterns are brilliant.

Therefore, cotton is very expensive, and thousands of kapok plants are harvested, and eight people are not worried about poverty. Wang Ju bought a round of cotton for the sergeants and stuffed it in their jackets, not a lot, but it was so expensive that it made his flesh hurt.

Wang Ju's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Your Highness, when it comes to this Jibeibu, I have come up with a business. ”R1152
