Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 376
We had dinner in Princess Pingyang's mansion, before it was dark, Xue Lang consciously left under the oppressive eyes of the nanny.

It wasn't that he didn't want to stay any longer, but that Mammy's eyes were too wide and frightened, as if there were needles in her eyes. Xue Lang suspected that if he stayed any longer, Mammy would definitely chase him away with a broom.

This is not the most frustrating thing, what makes him the most frustrating is that Princess Pingyang is still smiling when he is so intimidated by the nanny's eyes. Although the smile is pretty, shouldn't it be an expression of reluctance? ?Laughing like this... What about the promised love?

Xue Lang returned home clutching his "injured" heart, encouraged himself to be a strong man, patted his chest, and bravely revived again.Change into clean clothes and take a walk in the garden to digest food.

There are currently only three finished products of silk cotton cloth. With insufficient raw materials, it is too early to promote things. At least it will take next year to produce enough finished products after the cotton comes down this year.This was reminded by Princess Pingyang later, he was so excited at first that he forgot.However, the promotion plan can be made first and prepared in advance.

The sales promotion plan is not in a hurry. The first thing to do is to write a mathematics enlightenment book. You can refer to his elementary school textbook for this. It is not difficult to write.However, it is not something that can be accomplished overnight. First, write a first draft and gradually revise it to suit this era.

After Xue Lang and Princess Pingyang agreed not to get involved in the dispute between the prince and the king of Qin, and worked hard to strengthen themselves, Xue Lang went to and from get off work on time every day, cooperating with the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the wedding while writing his own math books, and became more low-key than before. .

Even during the Dragon Boat Festival, when the sage held a banquet for the officials in the palace, and Princess Pingyang said she was sick, Xue Lang went to mix up the number of people. He was low-key and silent the whole time, just eating and drinking with his head down. If anyone wants to talk to him, okay, first drink wine!Talking after drinking a jar!As a result, people were too scared to come to him, and he was quite happy to drink by himself.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, it is the summer harvest.In terms of official business, new grains have been put into warehouses in various parts of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and in terms of personal matters, the family farm has finally begun to harvest for the first time, and from time to time, he has to be called to the Ministry of Rites to try on wedding dresses, etc. Xue Lang is so busy that he can't wait to learn A shadow avatar technique, unfortunately this is impossible.

"Has the data come out?"

The gold department is the busiest in the autumn harvest, and there are a lot of statistics and calculations to be done.However, there are only a few people, and there is a lot of work piled up together. Even if everyone works overtime, calculation methods such as calculations are too slow, and in Xue Lang's view, they are completely inefficient.

"It won't work like this! We must adopt a more efficient calculation method, Changjian, go find someone to make two planks!"

Xue Lang resolutely assigned them, and told Changjian the size needed, and let Changjian do it.The work of Changjian was not bad, and in the afternoon, I sent two large boards to Xue Lang, which were flattened and fixed with light-colored logs. Summarized to him, calculated by him.

Xue Lang has a golden finger bonus, he can remember the numbers after reporting them once, write calculations on the wooden board, and report the results to the recorder after calculation, so the efficiency is greatly improved.

Xue Lang did the work of several people by himself. The work that was originally expected to be completed in one month was completed in just half a month after his subordinates learned Xue Lang's calculation method. After reporting the final statistical results , Pei Ju was taken aback: "It's so fast? Have you checked it?"

Xue Lang said solemnly: "Back to Mr. Pei, the Ministry of Finance has checked these data three times and reported them only after they are completely correct."

Pei Ju nodded, lowered his head to read all the data, and then praised: "Over the years, the official affairs of the Ministry of Finance have been completed the slowest. In addition to the data collection of the other three departments, a lot of statistics and calculations have to be done. I can't think of this year. So fast, the work of Youyang!"

Xue Lang said: "It's just a change in the calculation method, and I should not praise Pei Gong. The officials of the Ministry of Finance, I have taught them the calculation method, and the follow-up taxes from all over the country can also ensure that the work can be completed quickly. Please rest assured, Pei Gong !"

"Okay! It seems that thanks to Youyang this year, it will be much easier!"

"Mr. Pei has won the prize."

After the work was arranged, Xue Lang was dragged by the ceremony department to try on the wedding dress.The princess is getting married, especially since this princess is the only legitimate daughter of the saint, the Ministry of Rites has to treat it seriously.

This made it difficult for the son-in-law Xue Lang, who used his busy schedule as an excuse to hide for a few days.The Minister of the Ministry of Rites did not dare to come to remind him, so he sent an official to guard the gate of the Ministry of Civil Affairs every day, watching Xue Lang pass by with tears in his eyes, forcing Xue Lang to finish his work and go to the Ministry of Rites. reports.

As a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Pei Ju naturally knew Xue Lang's difficulties. Seeing that he had already arranged work, he waved his hand and asked him to get busy with the wedding.The emperor married a daughter, even if it was Pei Ju, no matter how busy the Ministry of Civil Affairs was, it would open the door for convenience.

Seeing that the day of employment is getting closer, Xue Lang is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot!He is a widow, and he doesn't even have an elder. If there is an elder, there must be an elder, and he can't go alone.

When I was in a hurry, the porter came to report and Li Gang came to visit.Xue Lang suppressed all his anxious emotions and went out to greet the guests.Li Gang, who had white beard and hair, clasped his fists and laughed when he saw Xue Lang, "Congratulations to Xue Lang!"

Xue Lang smiled wryly: "According to Mr. Li's auspicious words, however, at this moment, this junior is only anxious, not happy."

Li Gang smiled and asked: "Really? Speaking of which, the old man came today uninvited, and he really came to relieve the urgent need of the son-in-law!"

Xue Lang was stunned for a moment, but immediately realized, he bowed decisively and clasped his fists, saying, "Mr. Li's great kindness, Xue Lang will never forget it, so let me thank you first!"

Li Gang laughed, took a step forward to support Xue Lang and said: "I am very happy to have a nephew like Youyang, it is a great honor."

Xue Lang was embarrassed by the praise, but he was clever and didn't forget to climb along the pole: "Uncle thank you."

Li Gang glanced at him with a smile: "You are clever! Well, how are you preparing for the dowry? Bring me the list and see."

"Hey!"

Xue Lang trotted to the study room to get the prepared dowry list——

A pair of glass crystal apples!
Set of stained glass zodiac signs!
This is the most valuable!The other silks and cakes were made according to the current customs, and the gift was [-] yuan, and the wild geese were brought by Su Han's help.

Xue Lang said embarrassingly: "My nephew just came to Datang, and his family is not rich. Uncle thinks it's okay? What else do we need to buy?"

Li Gangdao: "With such a generous betrothal gift, what else do you need to buy? You Yang knows that with your betrothal gift, three marriages are enough!"

Xue Lang was dumbfounded: "Is it okay to marry the princess?"

Li Gang laughed loudly, and then said after laughing: "Compared to wealth, who in the world can compare to the royal family? In all dynasties and dynasties, for those who honor princesses, the betrothal gifts should be sincere, and there is no need for so many. The two sets of glazed objects... are the inheritance of Youyang. Family treasure, right?"
