The sick and weak son's koi wife is full of luck

Chapter 124 Here Is Our Rear Area
At the end of November, Gao Xingzhi held the account book and posted it tenderly.

Compared with the last time, Gao Xingzhi's whole face was radiant, and the injury on his forehead had healed early, and he could tell that he was in high spirits on happy occasions, and his slump from that day was gone.

Looking at her expression tenderly, he took the account book she handed over, and said with a smile: "what's the big happy event for Gao Jiangtou?"

Gao Xingzhi couldn't hold back the corners of her lips no matter what, she felt a little uncomfortable, this emotion quickly dissipated, and she smiled back, "I still want to thank Madam, it was Madam's words that made the villain figure it out. Congratulations Xi and Juqu's marriage has been decided, and it will be on December [-]th, and then I will invite my wife and son to have a glass of wedding wine."

The warm black eyes are shining, affected by Gao Xingzhi's emotions, she can't help showing a smile, "Oh? Really? This is a good thing!"

Gao Xingzhi nodded vigorously.

She said tenderly, "it's only December [-]. Is the time too short?"

Gao Xingzhi's brows were tinged with sadness, "Yes, there was some haste, but what happened before is really ugly. The Gu family poked our Gao family's spine behind their backs, spreading rumors that Xixi was not good, So, I think since Xixi and Juqu have a firm relationship, we should get married earlier, so as to silence their mouths."

Wenqing knows that Gao Xingzhi has Gao Xingzhi's own considerations. Hearing her talk about the Gu family's deeds, she frowned slightly, and then said: "Don't worry about those rumors. When Gao Xi gets married, I will come with the prince and send them blessings .”

When Gao Xingzhi heard the warm reply that he came to the wedding, his eyebrows stretched again, and he replied again and again: "Hey, the villain thanked Madam first."

The two chatted for a while, and then brought the topic back to the business of the embroidery workshop.

One of Shen Jinshan's pedal machines has been produced and is being used in the embroidery workshop.This pedal machine is several times more efficient than hand-woven looms, and the female workers have also learned how to use the pedal machine, and they are waiting for Shen Jinshan to make another four or five machines for use.

Looking at the account book tenderly, she said: "Embroidery seems to be more popular recently?"

Gao Xingzhi also noticed this, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the main reason is that the dyed cloth has more colors and more choices, such as the rare pink, embroidered with peonies and various colors of autumn chrysanthemums... There are more people who customize it Well, these are the colors that Qi’s family can’t dye for the time being. Mrs. Guan’s work is piled up like a mountain, and it’s too late, so some orders don’t dare to accept all of them. It’s true that embroidery skills don’t happen overnight, and the female workers below It needs to be continuously cultivated.”

Listening to Gao Xingzhi's analysis tenderly, she fell into deep thought while looking at the account book.

After a while, he said, "How about dyeing the flowers on cloth instead of embroidery?"

Gao Xingzhi was slightly taken aback.

Gao Xi also brought up the matter of dyeing patterns with her before, but they tried several times on how to dye them without success. Good embroidery is of course good, but it takes time and effort, but dyeing is different. It can be mixed with the color of the fabric. as one.

Warmth can see the hesitation on Gao Xingzhi's face, and she is quite unfamiliar with this area. As expected, she is specialized in surgery. If she knows that she will come to this world where there is nothing she wants, she will study harder.

He sighed slightly and said, "If it is difficult to directly dye the cloth, how about weaving it? How about dyeing the silk thread of the weaving cloth into various colors, and then weaving it into cloth?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Xingzhi hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll try it when I get back."

After reading the account books carefully, the income of this month is the same as before, except that the sales of cotton clothes account for a lot more, but the income is not as much as when the sales were less than before.

The biggest reason is the shortage of cotton supply.

The news that Hua Yi brought back from the Xiongnu was that the Xiongnu merchants didn't know what was going on. They probably thought that cotton was rare and expensive. The price had already risen several times. If it continued like this, the net profit of the cotton clothes would be too low.

Turned into small profits but quick turnover?
This is not the situation that warmth wants to see.

Warmth stood up and walked back and forth in the room twice, looked out the door, and saw that the fertile fields outside were empty at the moment, and the weather at the end of November was quite cold, and the crops could not grow in the field , but when the next spring begins, she must plant cotton, at least to be self-sufficient.

It's really uncomfortable to feel that the sales price is being manipulated by others, but there is no other way at the moment.

She thought for a while with tender eyebrows.

Just at this moment, the back kitchen sent lunch into the front hall to interrupt the warm thoughts.

Manager Hu bowed to salute warmly and respectfully, and said with a smile: "Madam, you must try this roast duck today. The smell makes people drool."

The warmth has been on Wubao for so long, and the domestic slaves with tempers know it well. The domestic slaves think that the wife is amiable, and they often chat with her and make harmless jokes.

The warmth is also happy.

Hearing what Mr. Hu said tenderly, he laughed, "Mr. Hu has worked hard."

Manager Hu hurriedly said: "It's not hard, it's not hard, madam, you should eat well."

Gao Xingzhi waited for Manager Hu to come in, only to realize that she and Wen Qing had been chatting for a long time. Seeing that Wen Qing was going to have lunch, she bowed and left.

Looking at the roast duck tenderly, he suddenly thought of something, and a flash of light flashed in his mind, "master, wait a moment."

Gao Xingzhi stopped in her tracks and looked at Wen Qing suspiciously.

Warmly asked Mr. Hu, "how do you deal with the roast duck's hair?"

Manager Hu was slightly taken aback, the hair of the roast duck?

Of course... "Throw it away."

Warm eyes suddenly filled with starlight, and said to Gao Xingzhi: "Gao Jiangtou, I will immediately order Ju Changshi to go to the market to collect duck down."

"??? Duck down???" Countless question marks crossed Gao Xingzhi's head.

What can this duck down do?
When Wen Qing was talking to Gao Xingzhi and the others, Xiao Tingshen happened to come back from outside.

No matter how busy Xiao Tingshen is outside, he will come back to have dinner with Wen Qing, but he didn't expect that the front hall is very lively today.

The warmth is still talking to the craftsman.

Xiao Tingshen didn't bother them, just waited for them to finish talking.

Gao Xingzhi and Hu Boss were going to salute Xiao Ting, but they forgot for a while after listening to the warm words.

Nodding tenderly, he said: "ducks like to stay in the water no matter in summer or winter. It's so cold, why are they not cold? I think the duck feathers must have played a very good protective role, especially the fluff inside the duck feathers. Let Ju feldspar Go to the market to collect duck down, no... All animal down can be used, then take it to the maid to clean it, and sew it into clothes. This duck down is softer than cotton, and it is warm and easy to wear. I believe it will be used again. Be the darling of the clan."

Gao Xingzhi and Hu Zun looked at each other hesitantly.

is this okay?

Looking at their expressions tenderly, you can tell that they are skeptical. The down jackets of later generations make a lot of money.She doesn't worry about whether she can make money or not. What she worries about is whether the existing productivity can make down jackets.

But it is good to have an idea after all, maybe it can be realized?

Xiao Ting listened silently, but believed in warmth more than they did.He often wondered what made his wife's head, and why she had so many strange ideas.

And these ideas are still feasible.

The master and servant talked again before Gao Xingzhi and Hu Zun retreated.

The warmth was so dry that Xiao Tingshen handed over the water, took the warmth in his hand and drank it in one gulp.

Xiao Ting let out a pleasant low laugh from his deep throat, his black eyes were filled with love, "Slow down."

Drinking warmly, smelling the fragrant dishes, "I'm hungry."

Xiao Tingshen said: "Farmers, artisans, and guards above Wubao, this winter will not be as difficult as in the past. You are pregnant now, so relax and be a happy pregnant woman. Those things above childbirth You can continue after the baby is born..."

"Huh? Xiao Tingshen, you know my temperament. I can't be like those boudoir girls who are willing to stay behind men."

Xiao Ting shut his mouth deeply, "I know, what I mean is don't work so hard."

"But I don't find it hard. I like doing it."

Xiao Ting made a deep compromise, and instantly dispelled the thought of wanting her to live more comfortably during pregnancy. Warmth is a thing that can't be idle. If it is really idle, wouldn't it be boring?
Then it's not worth the loss.

"Tingshen, this is our rear area. You can see that since we returned to Mobei, embroidery workshops, food workshops, fields, wooden workshops, papermaking... and now important military bases such as gunpowder and ironware have been established. Although the Huns did not After the war, the envoys sent to Beiliang to negotiate with the emperor must sign the terms of tribute. The people of Beiliang can also breathe a sigh of relief, but the essence of imperial power in Beiliang remains unchanged, and the princes are also eyeing it. It's just to settle the civil strife... The master of the Xiao family is a master... I'm afraid the road ahead will be difficult."

Xiao Ting listened deeply to her plausible analysis, especially the phrase 'Big Rear', which shocked him unceasingly, and he also thought of what she thought of.

He nodded solemnly, "Yes, so according to Madam, what should we do next?"

"I'm a little girl, and I don't know much about political power, but I do understand one thing."

"what?"

"I used to say vigorously develop productivity, improve economic strength, focus on military development, collect capital more quickly, and stabilize the rear. If people don't attack me, I won't attack them. If people attack me, I will punish them. To punish them also requires their own strength. ah!"

Xiao Ting scratched her nose with his hand, "He's not a big man, but he's quite ambitious. Your husband doesn't intend to be an emperor. Of course, the prerequisite is that we are all safe and sound."

Yes.

The two ideas coincided with each other.

When the two were eating, Xiao Tingshen talked about the fact that grandma had traveled to Wuxing.

Calculating the time with tenderness, it should be about the same. In half a month, the old lady will definitely arrive in Mobei. She said casually, "the old lady didn't have anything wrong when she passed Changsong?"

"In the final analysis, King Qi was unwilling to pay more money to support the royal family, so he raised troops. He saw that the Huns had sent envoys to Beiliang, and he felt uncomfortable at the moment. Originally, the Huns suppressed the emperor, and the Xiao family We have to deal with the Huns, and now that there is no such check and balance, the next one the emperor will deal with must be the King of Qi. Shouldn't the King of Qi tighten his tail and be a man?"

He hissed tenderly, "you said that the king of Qi rebelled, how will the emperor deal with the king of Qi?"

"King Qi is the emperor's uncle. He fought with his father on the battlefield? Later, King Qi was really old and the emperor gave him a fief in Changsong, and he has lived in peace ever since."

"Oh." After listening to the warmth, she frowned slightly. It turned out that there was such a relationship, so the old lady came here to live in peace.

"When King Qi was young, he was brave and good at fighting. He was a man. Although he was tough with the emperor, he was never harsh on the people. I guess King Qi was driven into a hurry... he acted like a pro-uncle to sound the alarm for the new emperor. It has only been a long time since the emperor succeeded to the throne, and his political achievements have become a mess. He doesn't think about how to get rich, but only wants to peel off a layer of skin from the princes. How can those princes be willing? King Qi rebelled first, and the princes are all watching! The emperor is afraid at this time. Dare to act outrageously. But one or two deterrents are still needed. Otherwise, how can he convince the public? These discerning people can see it. It is just for those princes who are about to move, telling them to weigh their identities and not to do it without authorization. Acting recklessly. And King Qi was only said a few words, and his life is still alive, saying a word will not lose a piece of meat, and the matter will be nothing in the end..."

Xiao Tingshen said this, and he understood it as soon as his warm eyes rolled.

Indeed, King Qi is the uncle of the new emperor. Others dare to do this. Do you have such a noble bloodline? You must always weigh your own weight before starting an army!I have read history books tenderly, and know that many emperor's sons have disowned many relatives for the throne, and the most famous one is Yongzheng.

But this dynasty was somewhat different from the feudal era she had read about.

The imperial power was not concentrated, but the power of the princes became stronger.Being an emperor is not so easy. Every prince is dissatisfied, causing many conflicts. The emperor may become a prisoner the next day...

The thinking in the warm head can't help but diverge for a while.

What if Xiao Tingshen rebelled?
Tsk tsk, I dare not think about it.

When I think about it, I am afraid that these princes are afraid of the power of gunpowder and hand over power directly.

...

...

In the evening, a round of sunset in the sky dyed half of the sky, a piece of orange sunset glow, really beautiful.

Cen Xia stood at the door and called towards the back room: "Miss, Miss Gu is here."

Wenqing was writing and drawing at the desk. Hearing Gu Shuqin's arrival, she quickly put down the pen and paper, "Oh? Where is it?"

"The chariots and horses have already arrived at the gate of Wubao."

"Xia Xia, help me get a cotton coat, and I'll meet her."

Cen Xia worried: "Girl, it's quite cold outside. Why don't you wait indoors?"

She insisted tenderly: "no, I haven't gone out all day, and I happened to go out for a walk. Pregnant women should exercise more."

Cen Xia couldn't resist the stubbornness of warmth, so she had to go to the closet to find clothes, put them on the shoulders of warmth, and said helplessly: "Girl, let's go."

It should be good to nod warmly.

The last time we said goodbye, Wen Qing and Gu Shuqin hadn't seen each other for nearly two months. Gu Shuqin and Mrs. Gu just arrived in Panhe, and they were too busy to take time off.

This time we saw each other, but we had to catch up on the old days.
