Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 202 Happy Events One After Another
The weather in July is getting hotter and hotter. Huaiyang is eating ice cream while processing the income of the palace at the end of the month.Made with saltpeter ice, some fruit puree and all-natural milk.Cold and delicious, extremely refreshing.More importantly, saltpeter can be reused after being dried in the sun.

It's not so hot now, and Huaiyang doesn't eat much, but girls like to eat sweets. After eating ice cream once in Huaiyang, they have to try some every day.If Princess Chu hadn't just given birth and shouldn't eat indiscriminately, she probably couldn't help it.

Li Zhiyun put his arms around Huaiyang, while feeding her himself, while watching her settle accounts with great interest.

"This month's soap income has increased a lot."

"It was mainly merchants from the Western Regions who bought the goods, and King Changping raised the price," Huaiyang explained.

"Where's the tea?"

"Same as ever."

"Hmm." Li Zhiyun pondered slightly, and said, "It seems that the main income has to be soap."

"Ah Lang, it's quite a lot." Huaiyang counted the accounts for him with his fingers. "The ladies in the palace, the nobles from various provinces, and wealthy merchants, roughly calculated, the monthly profit is around [-] guan."

"The calculation is very clear, reward it."

Li Zhiyun babbled and kissed Huaiyang, his face flushed.

She asked, "Ah Lang, do you want to sell this ice cream?"

"That's natural. There's no reason not to make money."

"But, how do you sell it?" Huaiyang said, "It turns into water when it sees the sun, how to preserve it?"

Li Zhiyun chuckled and said, "Just put some ice cubes."

There is nothing Li Zhiyun can do about the refrigerated box. He can only use ice cubes to cool down and store ice cream. However, this is a high-end product that ordinary people cannot afford. When the market is fully opened in the future, customers must pre-order it.

Of course, this thing is a cool weapon, and sooner or later others will dig out the production principle, and it is impossible for Li Zhiyun to hide it all the time.Although saltpeter mines are rare, they are not without them, and ice cream is such a food that ordinary people really can't refuse it in summer.

It is impossible to swallow it alone.

Huaiyang's jade hand propped his round and fair chin, and a pair of wonderful eyes squinted at the side of Lang Jun's face, somehow feeling a little handsome.

"Ah Lang is amazing." She exclaimed.

It can fight externally and make money internally.Don't look at the royal family, but in fact the income is really not much.In addition to the rewards from the court, it is land rent and taxes, or private money from the court.Now that the Tang Dynasty is struggling financially, the gray income of the various clans in Chang'an is actually very little.

"Where is it so powerful?" Li Zhiyun had a wicked smile on his lips.Looking at Huaiyang's exquisite body, the little brother raised his head to show respect.

Huaiyang said naively, "The last time Princess Qi came to visit my eldest sister, when they played backgammon together, a game was only worth ten coins, which was really shabby. Especially remember last year, Princess Qi was very grand, a game of backgammon Backgammon, if you don’t have a hundred coins, you don’t want to play.”

Li Zhiyun: (? ー?〃)
"Do you want money for playing backgammon?"

"That's right, now that the noble ladies of Chang'an are leisurely and pastime, a game of backgammon is at least worth this amount." As she spoke, she separated the five fingers of her little hand.

"Fifty Wen is okay, not too much." Li Zhiyun said.

Huaiyang shook his head and said, "Ah Lang, it's five hundred wen."

"What?" Li Zhiyun was startled suddenly.

No wonder the last court meeting ended, the eldest brother and the second brother had a rare united front, saying that the backgammon flowing from the Chu Palace was a bit extravagant.

At that time, he wondered, what is so extravagant about playing backgammon? How much is a chess piece worth?

Feelings, these women have nothing to do to gamble with backgammon.

"Wangfei is also five hundred pieces of chess?" Li Zhiyun had a bad feeling in his heart.

"That's not true, how can the princess be so extravagant." Huaiyang said: "The princess is pregnant, she has been playing backgammon for a long time."

That's good, that's good.

Before Li Zhiyun could heave a sigh of relief, Huaiyang continued: "But the princess likes the monopoly made by A Lang very much, and often uses copper coins instead of theater money."

The so-called play money is the fake banknotes cut out of paper by Li Zhiyun.

Li Zhiyun: "."

He felt that he had been fighting outside, as if he couldn't keep up with the times.

"Ahem, don't use money to play backgammon in the future, and now the imperial court has frequent foreign wars, so don't be so extravagant." Li Zhiyun reminded.

Huaiyang smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, Ah Lang, the princess usually plays backgammon with the Crown Princess and Princess Qin, and she is not obsessed with it."

"Where is Monopoly?"

"is also like this."

That's good, that's good.

Li Zhiyun burst into tears. He fiddled with backgammon just to enhance his relationship with his wife and pass the time when he was free. He never thought it would become like this.

"By the way, do the other princesses often come to the house?"

"Prince Princess and Princess Qin visit more frequently, while Princess Qi visits less."

Li Zhiyun nodded, and asked again: "Which one of the two sister-in-laws get along best?"

Huaiyang thought for a while, then shook his head, "They all seem to be the same, I can't tell."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately, he asked: "From what you said, Princess Qi is quite struggling now?"

Isn't that right, a game of backgammon with one hundred coins has now become a game of backgammon with ten coins.This is almost a tenfold drop, how can we not be in short supply.

Huaiyang looked around and saw that no one was in the room, so he whispered: "Ah Lang, you don't know that Princess Qi often complains to her eldest sister, saying that King Qi doesn't return at night, good horses, good hunting and good wine, and the palace of Qi Palace spends money." Very nervous."

Li Yuanji, that's true, he was better when he was in Taiyuan before, but now he stays in Chang'an, Li Yuanji spends all the money from Prince Qi's mansion, and it's normal for Princess Qi to have less gambling money.

"What about you, do you want to play backgammon?" Li Zhiyun put his arms around her, gently rubbing the colorful cloud pattern on the cloud sleeve.

Huaiyang nodded with a blushing face, and immediately explained: "I am busy with affairs in the house, so I rarely have time to play chess."

"It's okay, if you like it, I will accompany you slowly tonight."

"Alang."

With deep affection and sweetness in his eyes, Huaiyang suddenly retched for a while.

We all know that vomiting generally equals pregnancy.

Li Zhiyun didn't think so, he thought it was normal, it was normal to vomit occasionally when feeling sick.

However, Huaiyang frowned and said: "I don't know why, I often feel sick this month."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun had a guess in his heart, and immediately ordered Li Zhen to go to the Imperial Medical Office to arrest someone and bring him back for diagnosis and treatment.

As expected, she was pregnant.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Zhen Quan smiled and cupped his hands.

Li Zhiyun sent him out with a smile, and stuffed some money for tea. Zhen Quan said that he was on call [-] hours a day, and the king was always on call.

There is no way, these days the Imperial Medical Office is the little brother of the Taichang Temple, and it really doesn't make money.Zhen Quan is still very happy to come out to pick up jobs occasionally to earn some extra money.

What's more, the king of Chu has always been bold, if he doesn't make a move, he will definitely make a lot of money.

It's funny to say that the scientific Tai Medical Administration is actually affiliated with the unscientific Taichang Temple, which makes people feel speechless.

After sending Zhen Quan away, Li Zhiyun returned to the palace.

Seeing Huaiyang stroking his lower abdomen with a happy face, he suddenly remembered that he had just coaxed the lady's mentality back to normal.
