My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 184 Kicked out again

After looking at it carefully for a while, Emperor Changping couldn't help but said: "Jia Aiqing, this piece of fabric looks bright in color, feels extremely comfortable to the touch, and looks very warm at first glance.

In my opinion, this piece of cloth is even comparable to brocade, but why have I never seen this kind of cloth? "

After listening to Emperor Changping's words, Jia Yu just smiled and said nothing.

Emperor Changping looked at it for a while and then put the cloth on the table, "Dear ladies, please take a look at it too."

Dai Quan quickly picked up the cloth and handed it to Wang Zhijie and others below.

After the cloth was turned around in everyone's hands, everyone was shocked by the cloth.

Not to mention the bright color, it is also exceptionally soft and comfortable to the touch. It looks like a fine fabric at first glance. From their point of view, this kind of fabric is incomparable even with the most expensive silks and satins such as Sujin and Sujin. inferior.

The most important thing is that this kind of fabric is very warm and breathable, which is the most rare thing.

Geng Benzheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, was the first to ask: "Master Jia, can you tell me now, what is this piece of cloth made of?"

The corners of Jia Yu's mouth turned up slightly, "This kind of fabric is made of wool that was despised by our Grand Scholar Yang just now.

It is not only soft and breathable, but also very warm, even better than cotton-padded clothes.

It is a pity that such good wool has only been made into clothes in the hands of the Tatars for so many years. It is a pity. "

"wool?"

When everyone heard this, everyone's eyes immediately shone with light.

This thing is actually made of wool?

At this time, Wang Zhijie and others no longer looked disgusted when they mentioned the dirty wool, as if they were looking at a golden mountain.

Who are all here?

Either the emperor or the cabinet boss or the Minister of Household Affairs.

As the saying goes, there are four things in life, which are food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Clothes are ranked first, which shows the importance of clothes.

If wool could really be turned into such a light and warm fabric, it would be a mountain of gold and silver.

But after the excitement, Yang Jilin raised another key question.

"Master Jia, if wool is so good, why have the Mongolian Tatars been able to only make clothes with fur for so many years?"

Jia Yu sneered: "Master Yang, what's so difficult about this.

It is not that there are no iron ores on the grassland, but why can't the Mongolians even make an iron pot?

The reason is of course that the Mongolian Tatars do not have that technology.

Mining requires work, and ironmaking requires craftsmen. Turning pig iron into mature iron, and then making it into iron pots, farm tools, and even weapons and armor also requires a lot of craftsmen.

This wool is the same thing.

Even though the Tatars knew that wool could be made into cloth and clothing, did they know how to rinse it? Can they weave? Will they dye the fabric?

They have nothing? They could do nothing except peel the skins of sheep and make them into clothing.

And the most important point is that even Mr. Yang Ge thinks wool is a vulgar and useless thing. How can those even more vulgar Mongolian Tatars think of it? Do you think this is true? "

Yang Jilin's face turned pale instantly, and then turned red again.

Jia Yu's words simply pierced his lungs. It was a direct scolding that he was as vulgar as the Mongolian Tatars.

But he couldn't refute it yet. Who told him to swear that wool was a vulgar thing just now?

Having lived for more than fifty years, he never dreamed that rough and dirty wool could be processed into such fine fabrics.

Perhaps because he couldn't bear to see his cabinet minister being repeatedly pressed to the ground and rubbed by Jia Yu, Emperor Changping changed the subject in time:

"Jia Aiqing, so you have the technology to make and process wool?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Jia Yu nodded, "Weichen happens to know some techniques on how to better clean wool and make it into cloth.

Weichen is also willing to dedicate this technology to His Majesty and the imperial court and let the imperial court manage it. "

"Great!"

Emperor Changping was particularly happy to hear that Jia Yu was willing to take the initiative to hand over this technology.

Everyone knows that whoever has this technology is equivalent to mastering a cornucopia, but Jia Yu can offer it without hesitation, which shows his loyalty to himself.

Emperor Changping, who was delighted with the dragon's heart, felt a little pity in his heart when he saw how satisfied Jia Yu was.

"If this son is not already married, it would be very good to recruit him as the consort. After all, Xue Yan and Xue Ya have reached the age of marriage.

Especially Xue Yan, who has been in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for me for many years. Not to mention the hard work, she is still alone now. I really can't help her. "

Thinking of this, Emperor Changping couldn't help but be stunned.

After a while, Emperor Changping looked at Jia Yu.

"Jia Aiqing, you have made another great contribution to the court.

It is said that my dynasty has always rewarded you for your merits, but you were just knighted a few days ago, and now I don't know how to reward you.

Tell me yourself, what reward do you want? As long as it's not too much, I'll follow you! "

Emperor Changping, who was in a good mood, made his promise on the spot.

Jia Yu: “…………”

What can I say? What should I say?

Say I want to be a duke? Or is it hereditary?

I'm afraid he was dragged down and beaten violently by Emperor Changping as soon as he finished speaking.

Wang Zhijie and other big shots also looked at Jia Yu with interest, especially Yang Jilin's eyes, which were even more malicious.

It’s not easy to answer this question, it doesn’t matter whether it’s light or heavy.

If it's too light, it will make the emperor think you look down on him; if it's too heavy, it will make the emperor think you are greedy.

After thinking for a long time, a bright light suddenly flashed in Jia Yu's mind.

He looked at Emperor Changping and said cautiously: "Your Majesty... I have always had a wish that I have always wanted to realize. I hope you can make it come true."

"Oh... tell me." Emperor Changping said noncommittally.

"That's it."

Jia Yu said: "Although Wei Chen is an only son, in fact he had an older brother above me, but he died when he was six years old.

Chen's mother still thought about this before her death.

I have had a wish since I was a child. I thought that when I became rich one day, I would marry an extra daughter-in-law, and by the way, I would like to keep a bright future in my brother's house.

I wonder if your majesty can fulfill my small wish. "

"Well...is this what you want from me?"

After hearing this, Emperor Changping's face remained calm. It was not clear whether he was happy or angry, but he looked at Jia Yu with a strange tone.

"Yes...that's the wish."

Jia Yu carefully looked at Emperor Changping, trying to discern a trace of happiness and anger on his face, but unfortunately his eyes were so sore that he could not see anything. Finally, he couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, is this possible?"

Emperor Changping took a long breath and said, "Jia Yu, are you sure you only want to ask for a reward from me for this trivial matter?"

"I'm sure." Jia Yu said in a very positive tone, and finally said: "Your Majesty, if you think this matter is too small,

I actually have a younger brother who died in infancy. If you don’t mind it, you can order me to have two wives..."

"roll……"

As soon as Jia Yu finished speaking, Emperor Changping's voice roared in the imperial study.

Then a dark shadow hit Jia Yu in the face.

Jia Yu, who had quick eyes and quick hands, didn't have time to think carefully. She stretched out her hand to catch the flying thing, only to feel that it was heavy and heavy.

Before he could think about it, Emperor Changping's voice sounded again: "Get out of my imperial study room... I don't want to see you again!"

Looking at Jia Yu who almost escaped from the imperial study room with her head in her arms, Wang Zhijie and others not only did not laugh, but their expressions became solemn.

The relationship between this guy and the emperor has become so good?

It is not a good thing for the country and the court that a noble man is so favored by the emperor.

Several bachelors looked at each other, and they all saw the strong vigilance in each other's eyes.

Jia Yu, who was kicked out of the imperial study, had just left the Daming Palace when he saw a graceful figure walking towards this side.

When the visitor approached, Jia Yu quickly bowed her head and saluted, "I have seen the Queen!"

The White Queen looked at the somewhat embarrassed Jia Yu and smiled, instantly like a blooming peony.

She said crisply: "Jia Yu, you just came out of His Majesty's study room, why are you in such a mess?"

Jia Yu said dejectedly: "It's nothing, he was just kicked out by His Majesty."

"Kick it out...shouldn't you?"

The White Queen asked doubtfully, "I remember that you were conferred the title of Uncle Dingyuan by His Majesty two days ago. His Majesty looked happy when he mentioned you. Why did he suddenly kick you out? Shouldn't you?"

"It's nothing. Wei Chen just asked for a small favor from His Majesty, and Your Majesty became furious and kicked Wei Chen out." Jia Yu looked resentful.

"What on earth is going on?"

The White Queen became more and more curious.

"This one……"

Jia Yu hesitated for a moment and thought it would be better not to say it out loud.

Otherwise, he couldn't guarantee whether the empress would suddenly perform the lion's roar magic on him like Emperor Changping.

He laughed dryly and said, "If you want to know, I'd better ask Your Majesty in person. It's really not convenient for me to tell you."

After saying that, the guy ran away quickly, leaving only the white queen with a stunned look on her face.

"This child..."

Seeing Jia Yu disappearing quickly, the White Queen burst out laughing, shook her head, and then stepped into the Daming Palace.

After he entered the imperial study, he happened to hear Emperor Changping ordering Wang Zhijie: "This matter is settled. Wang Aiqing, get the technology for making and processing wool from Jia Yu as soon as possible.

Then ask the Ministry of Industry to quickly open a wool processing place in the suburbs of Beijing. The scale should be as large as possible and more craftsmen should be deployed.

Be sure to see the first batch of woolen cloth spun by the Daxia court within three months. "

"I obey." Wang Zhijie stood up and replied respectfully.

"That's it, you guys can kneel down first."

"Yes... I will take my leave first."

After hearing what Emperor Changping said, Wang Zhijie and others stood up and left in unison.

The White Queen was standing at the door of the Royal Study. When Wang Zhijie and others saluted her as they passed by, she smiled and nodded in return, looking extraordinarily graceful.

After Wang Zhijie and others left, Queen White moved lightly to Emperor Changping's side, took out a bowl of lotus seed soup from the food box she was carrying and placed it on the dragon table.

"Your Majesty, I met Jia Yu just now when I came over. When I saw him going out in a panic, I asked him what happened.

But this little guy hesitated and refused to say anything. Could it be that he caused some trouble and was reprimanded by you? "

Emperor Changping snorted coldly, "Zitong, you don't know how annoying that kid is. Just now..."

After Emperor Changping told the whole story, Queen Bai finally understood why her husband was angry.

She suppressed her smile and said, "I understand, I understand. Does Jia Yu want you to give him a favor and let him choose the two houses of his brother and brother who died in infancy?"

"More than that!"

Emperor Changping said angrily: "That bastard wants me to decree a marriage for him.

He also didn't think about it. From ancient times to the present, we, the Chinese people, have always had only one main wife. Even if she is a concurrent wife, she is at best an equal wife, on an equal footing with the main wife.

This guy is good, he wants to choose three houses at once, and he also wants me to endorse him.

He had all the good things in love, but he allowed me to be the villain. How can there be such good things in this world?

If there was such a good thing, I would have done it myself, and it would be his turn! "

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Changping realized that something was wrong. When he looked up, he saw Queen Bai looking at him with a half-smile.

"Your Majesty, do you also think about such a beautiful thing as love?"

Emperor Changping's expression froze, and he stammered for a long time: "Ah... this... Zitong, I just said that casually, and I didn't mean anything else."

The White Queen said quietly: "Actually, even if you have this intention, it doesn't matter. I am already old now, so naturally I can't compare with those yellow-flowered girls who are sixteen or seventeen years old. It is normal for Your Majesty to have other thoughts."

Emperor Changping never expected that his queen would be jealous because of her casual complaint.

Depressed, he had no choice but to pick up a memorial and read it.

However, the White Queen also knows that jealousy can indeed play a role in regulating the relationship between husband and wife occasionally.

But if it is unrelenting, it will not improve the relationship between husband and wife, but will make the husband feel resentful and tired.

She chuckled lightly and changed the subject: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?

You had let Jia Yu make her own demands before.

But when someone just made such a small request, you got furious and even kicked the person out. This is not the way to be a king. "

Emperor Changping helplessly rubbed his temples, and finally said dejectedly: "Alas... I really owed him a debt in my previous life for dealing with such a minister.

Okay, I agree to this.

However, I couldn't agree to him so quickly. I had to wait for a while before giving him his will.

Otherwise, if he likes a girl from a certain family and comes to me to ask me to be a matchmaker, what does he think of me as an emperor? A matchmaker who walks the streets? "

Having said this, Emperor Changping himself was also very angry.

This Jia Yu can fight and earn money for me, but some things he does are too ridiculous. He even dares to bring up such shameful things in an important place like the imperial study room. It's really Do you think I don’t want to lose face?
