The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 384 The Invention Family (Part )

Looking at Princess Jingyao who was fiddling with the banknotes and a pile of house deeds in the box, her face turned red with embarrassment.

Empress Gao was overjoyed: "The rules of the consort's family are good, and we must let him continue to maintain them after marriage!"

"Hmph, it's only five or six hundred thousand taels of silver."

Xia Hongdi muttered quietly.

Although he said disgusting words on his lips, he felt a little more satisfied with his prospective son-in-law.

Not to mention that one son-in-law is half a son, but his good son-in-law can serve as the boss of two sons!
If a good girl becomes more and more capable, it can only mean that she can be manipulated more easily.

What are the rules for princes-in-law from other dynasties?
Yuan Wenwu doesn’t know!

They are the consort of the princess of Zheng and the consort of the princess of Wei.

One is a child of an old aristocratic family, and at a young age he is the headmaster of a well-known local academy.

One is a descendant of a literary giant and is still a well-known person in the literary world.

All Yuan Wenwu knew was that as the quasi-consort of the direct princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, his father-in-law would not let him have any leisure time.

Originally, his daily workload of translation at the Lifan Academy was not easy.

There is no time when the astronomy, geography, mathematics, and various medical texts brought back by the navy can be fully translated!
The imperial court's biennial Western trade also required Zhang Luo from their vassal academy to preside over it.

The vassal states such as Sri Lanka and Jiaozhi paid tribute year after year, and the gifts in return were affordable but could not really spend a lot of money.

You have to grasp face with both hands, and you have to be tough with both hands.

Just, very bald!

Before the wedding, Yuan Wenwu was so busy that except for sending gifts to the palace on various festivals, he never saw his fiancée.

One month before the wedding, Xia Hongdi sent an envoy to summon his consort Yuan Wenwu to Donghua Gate and met him in the banquet hall.

"The apple of my eye is perfect in character, appearance, temperament and temperament. I hope that after she gets married, she will still be loved by her parents like a boudoir, and that my consort will be considerate and good."

"Promise!" Yuan Wenwu solemnly saluted and agreed.

In his mind, no matter how much he talks, he is not as convincing as his actions.

Princess Jingyao is the one he likes, how could he not treat her like a jewel?
Such a temper caught Xia Hongdi's eyes.

The son-in-law just can't watch what he says, the key is to watch what he does in the future!
Before the marriage, his son-in-law's performance would give him a ninety percent score. After the marriage, he would have to keep his eyes open and watch carefully.

On the same day, he was rewarded to the Prince Consort: a jade belt, boots, a dust hat, a saddle, a hundred red horses, a hundred pairs of silverware, a hundred pieces of clothing, and a betrothal gift of one hundred thousand taels of silver.

After the reward was given, a nine-cup (nine bowl) banquet was held to entertain the newly minted son-in-law.

I finally made it to the wedding day.

Yuan Wenwu used wild geese, gifts of silk, etc. as betrothal gifts and went to the palace where Princess Jingyao lived to marry the bride in person.

The princess of Qin (Jingyao was the initial title, and was promoted to the princess of Qin on the day of her wedding), wearing a crown with nine feathers and four phoenixes, and a wedding dress embroidered with long-tailed pheasants and bright red.

They got on the sedan without barriers, and under the guidance of Yuan Wenwu, set off towards the Prince Consort Duwei's Mansion.

Prince Xia Yan and fifth prince Xia En escorted him on horseback.

The married daughter of aristocratic families or rich people in Daxia only has thousands of acres of fertile land and ten miles of red makeup.

When the first princess of the Great Xia Dynasty got married, she wore so much red makeup that it could be described as a hundred miles away.

This battle made people all over the capital happy to talk about it for a whole month.

As the saying goes: Newlyweds have a long and happy time, which is pleasant to the eyes and the heart.
Wedding seems like just yesterday.

Soon after the fourth generation great-grandchildren of the Yuan family were born one after another in the sixteenth year of Tianshun.

The army of Daxia Dynasty began an expedition that lasted for five years.

Recruitment, persuasion to surrender, coercion and inducement are all inseparable from the pioneer troops, especially the translators of the Lifan Yuan!
Translators in other Lifanyuan colleges only need to be proficient in one foreign language.

How could the princess of Qin's consort ask for this? Yuan Wenwu is suffering!
Within eight years since the engagement, I was forced to learn five new foreign languages.

He also successfully "persuaded" the Uighur leader to surrender and made great contributions to the court.

The expeditionary force of the Great Xia Dynasty conquered Xixia by force, as well as Dawan, the largest empire in Central Asia.

The entire Western Region surrendered to Daxia again.

Emperor Tianshun only spent five years.

It opened up a vast territory that "extends the desert in the north, Congling Mountains in the west, Goryeo in the east, and Sri Lanka in the south".

There was a steady stream of sailors, using large ships to bring back countless gold, silver and jewels.

There are also various high-yielding grains grown throughout Daxia.

These are the confidence of the Great Xia Dynasty Land Expeditionary Army!

The supporting use of sharp weapons such as repeating crossbows, muskets, cannons, and fire oil accelerated the pace of foreign wars.

Wherever the expeditionary force went, they were almost invincible and invincible.

During the war, the first few batches of surgical medical students trained by the Royal Medical College were the targets that the leaders of the major expeditionary forces desperately wanted to compete for.

The doctors of the Great Food Empire headed by Sharif had been in the Great Xia Dynasty for more than ten years.

Less than half of the doctors even made a trip back to the Food Empire on the way.

They all brought their wives, children, and children to the Great Xia Dynasty.

In the meantime, of course, the escort of the Great Xia navy is indispensable.

The Great Xia Dynasty, with such a strong national power, had distinct four seasons throughout the year and was rich in products.

They have all kinds of silks and satins that people like to wear, and there are many delicacies in the streets and alleys.

His Majesty the Emperor would treat them to a palace feast every year, and would also reward them with exquisite palace embroidery.

God knows what kind of high prices these embroideries can fetch in the Dashi Empire!

Doctors, especially those with superb medical skills, were highly respected by everyone in the court.

Provided them with all the conveniences in life.

Teaching and learning, at the same time.

It took them ten years to get started in traditional Chinese medicine, an ancient discipline in China.

The more they learn, the more magical it becomes. They also want to work together to create a discipline that combines Chinese and Western methods.

Although the expeditionary force of the Great Food Empire solved the problems of food, grass and smallpox, Caliph Ahma was getting older and his warlike spirit became less and less day by day.

Especially in recent years, several adult princes have seized power from each other, and internal conflicts have become increasingly obvious.

Those in power could only watch helplessly, the outstanding doctors trained by the Imperial Medical College.

Year after year he went to the Great Xia Dynasty without hesitation, and most of them never came back.
During the five years of Daxia Dynasty's external expansion war, Marquis Zhongqin was not idle either.

In addition to continuing to improve several major staple food varieties, he also developed and designed many military supplies for the expeditionary forces of the Great Xia Dynasty.

For example, he invented a match that only needs to be lightly rubbed with a small stick on the side of the box to make a fire.

This good thing called a match is not only widely used in the military, but also widely circulated among the people.

It's really many times easier to use than the flint and steel they used in the past.

The workshops that produced matches were always controlled by the imperial court, and provided many employment opportunities for military families.

There are also camouflage military uniforms dyed in jungle and desert colors, military green quilts, high-top fur boots, lightweight and large-capacity backpacks, etc.

These inventions have brought the marching materials of the Daxia army to a new level.
