Datang: at the Beginning, Eat Fruit

　　What the son-in-law said is true, whether there are clothes or not may make no difference to him.

　　If it was His Majesty's LSP, he might have been performing unbearably absurd acts in the hot spring pool just like yesterday, so Empress Zhangsun didn't like to take hot springs with Li Er very much.

　　"Mother-in-law, it's a little cold up there, come down and soak for a while. Here, your swimsuit."

　　"No need! In the eyes of my son-in-law, it doesn't make any difference whether I wear a swimsuit or not. I don't look good in my old age. Besides, wearing a swimsuit to take a bath, especially a bubble bath, will be very inconvenient."

　　Otherwise, Empress Changsun wouldn't have taken off her swimsuit and washed it with bubble bath.

　　Lu Xiu felt a little embarrassed. It was originally intended to appease Empress Zhangsun, but who knew she would take it seriously.

　　He looked at Yuyao and the girls beside him, and he clearly believed Lu Xiu's words as well.

　　Difficult to do, it seems that the misunderstanding is not clear.

　　Having said that, Empress Zhangsun's figure is indeed quite well maintained, and she has a bit more mature charm than Yuyao and the girls.

　　"Forget it, watch it once, watch it twice, and watch it twice."

　　It's just for Empress Changsun to develop the habit of taking a bath with them without wearing a swimsuit. I don't know if it's good or bad.

　　But there was one thing that Lu Xiu knew very well, and he must not let that guy know about Li Er.

　　If it was me, I would feel uncomfortable when my own woman was seen, not to mention that Li Er was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

　　…………

　　After soaking for an hour, Lu Xiu and the others dressed up and returned to the island, using the door fruit to pick them up.

　　Of course, Lu Xiu wouldn't rush them. The gate connecting Mingyu Island and Hot Spring Island would last for an hour.

　　Lu Xiu's original intention was to leave that time to the female relatives of the officials, so that they could also enjoy the experience of soaking in hot springs.

　　"Concubine Yang, how is your Majesty, are you sober?"

　　After Empress Changsun waited for half a column of incense at the door, Li Er and the others finally crossed the door and returned to Mingyu Island.

　　"No, after soaking in the pool for a while, Your Majesty almost fainted. After Your Majesty drinks, it is not advisable to soak in the hot spring for too long, otherwise qi and blood will surge." Concubine Yang whispered.

　　Empress Zhangsun glanced at Li Er, who was supported by several palace maids, and then looked at several concubines. She could clearly guess what happened in the hot spring pool.

　　Originally, His Majesty drank a lot of alcohol, and was already seven or eight points drunk.Without her in the bath tonight, I didn't even realize that I was gone.

　　Especially after arriving on the island, Empress Zhangsun secretly counted that Her Majesty had not let her serve for seven or eight days.

　　Part of the reason is that there are so many entertainment programs on the island, and even I myself often indulge in the fun.

　　Part of the reason is that the concubines and concubines compete for favor, and Empress Changsun will not participate in it. As the empress of the Tang Dynasty, she naturally wants to maintain a dignified image.

　　The concubines in the harem would not get along as harmoniously as Lu Xiu's wives and concubines.

　　"Fubi, go back to the palace to rest." Empress Changsun said lightly.

　　"Yes."

　　Palace ladies, carefully help Li Er back.Concubine Yang and several other concubines also bid farewell to Empress Changsun one after another.

　　When I came back from the bath, it was actually late.Empress Changsun went to her two queens before returning to her bedroom to rest.

　　It's just that I don't know if what happened is too scary for her. Queen Changsun has trouble sleeping, and she didn't fall asleep all night. .

Chapter 236

　　That night, after it's all over.

　　Li Yuyao leaned against Lu Xiu's arm, her little hands wrapped around Lu Xiu's hair, as if she didn't intend to fall asleep immediately.

　　"Husband, if you like someone's girl, let Yuyao come to propose marriage. But you must not hit the Queen's wife's idea, or you will cause trouble." Yuyao whispered.

　　"Haha, with your beautiful wives and concubines here, how could I have that thought." Lu Xiu laughed.

　　"Master, that's not necessarily true. Our bodies are a little green, and we are not as good-looking as the Queen's wife. And I remember that the request of my uncle to marry a wife was based on the Queen's eldest grandson." Qing He said.

　　"Husband, Empress Changsun is very beautiful, I...we are not bad either. There are many beautiful women in the Jiangnan area. If the husband wants, the Zheng family will help collect some for the husband." Xiao-Xiao said.

　　The girls were obviously a little worried, and Lu Xiu could only comfort them.

　　Empress Zhangsun is beautiful and true, and there might be a chance that she might have eaten it once or twice, but Lu Xiu really didn't have the idea of ​​taking her back from Second Hand Li.

　　…………

　　The next day, despite the hangover last night, the biological clock made the officials wake up early.

　　At six o'clock on Mingyu Island, you can see the beautiful sunrise slowly emerging from the sea level.

　　Li Er and the others naturally didn't have time to appreciate it. The morning morning starts at six o'clock every day. They need to start the morning morning and then deal with the government affairs they have accumulated throughout the day.

　　At [-]:[-], after Lu Xiu opened the door to Chang'an, the busy things would increase, and he had to deal with the things that came from all over the Tang Dynasty.

　　Generally speaking, if the efficiency is fast enough, they can finish before eleven o'clock, and if there is a lot of work, they will be busy until the end of lunch.

　　Today, things may be more tedious. Li Er and the others have been busy until Shen Shi, but Lu Xiu and the others have already returned from the sea.

　　Li Er's original plan today was to turn himself into a turtle, carry his princes, and dive into the sea to let them see the scenery of the underwater world.

　　But perhaps towards the end of the year, things have changed a lot.

　　Today, it is impossible to go out to play, Li Er can only see if he can have a dinner at Lu Xiu's place.

　　Although the food cooked by the royal chef in the palace is relatively delicious, and he has learned a few skills from Lu Xiu, he cannot compare to Lu Xiu at all.

　　"Son-in-law, where are you going?" At this time, Li Er and the others happened to find that Lu Xiu was using the door fruit to leave Mingyu Island.

　　"I want to see where Qian Yong and the others drove the boat to." Lu Xiu replied.

　　Five days ago, they discovered the hot spring island that Li Er and the others used to bathe. Now they don't know if they have left the waters of the Japanese country.

　　"Hey, please take me with you, maybe I can find a second island with a hot spring." Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.

　　"Yeah, if there is one more island, the island where we take a bath will appear to be a bit crowded because there are too many people. If we find one more island, it will indeed be more comfortable to bathe." Fang Xuanling said with conviction.

　　Dozens of civil and military officials, plus their sons, doubled the number.

　　The hot spring resources on that island are not very large, so it will naturally appear crowded.They sent people to dig a few large pits and then drain the hot springs, but it was still not enough.

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·

　　"Well, I can promise you to let them go and have a look." Lu Xiu said.

　　Everyone expected to follow behind Lu Xiu, crossing the gate in the void.A group of people came to the deck of the building ship.

　　Qian Yong and the others had long been accustomed to Lu Xiu's sudden appearance.

　　The building ship seemed to be docked on the shore, and a snow-white mountain range could be seen in front of it.

　　"Master Lu, you are finally here." Seeing Lu Xiu's appearance, Qian Yong and the others were very happy.

 …

　　"Did something good happen?" Lu Xiu smiled.

　　"Hey, our built ship spent three days and two nights carefully exploring the surrounding waters for hundreds of miles, and drew a map of the surrounding sea. Last night, the ship was moored at a port in Japan. Japan Island. Although Shang is really poor, most people are naked, and they are more backward than most places in the Tang Dynasty."

　　Especially those Japanese people, who are short in stature, and many of them look ugly.

　　The owner of Gulu asked them to pay attention to warning the Japanese, but in Qian Yong’s view, the Japanese were no threat.

　　"Then we found out that in the Japanese countries, they are poor. But a piece of cloth from our Tang Dynasty can be sold for a price equivalent to more than [-] pieces."

　　"Didn't you say they were poor, how could they possibly pay so much money to buy cloth."

　　Li Er glanced at the shore and could see a village where the houses were all thatched piles.

　　There were a dozen fishermen, picking up food on the beach.Sure enough, the clothes were not attached to the body, and several of them were actually covered with bark, and better were animal skins.Four.

Chapter 237

　　"Indeed, as far as I know. They don't even have their own coins, they are still bartering, so I exchanged a piece of cloth for dozens of pounds of silver ore."

　　Qian Yong and the others spent more than three days in the waters of the Japanese country, encircling most of the waters of the Japanese country, and finally moored at the port in front of them.

　　He originally thought of supplying fresh water and food, but he unexpectedly discovered a huge business opportunity.

　　Using a piece of cloth, Qian Yong's purpose was to exchange some supplies.Because the Japanese on the island did not issue coins belonging to their own country.

　　But who would have thought that the cloth he took out would be regarded as a precious treasure by the Japanese country.The Japanese were not able to learn to weave, so many Japanese were seen without clothes.

　　Qian Yong sent someone to negotiate with the Japanese.

　　In the end, the Japanese took out a dozen bright silver stones, weighing about twenty pounds, meaning they wanted to use them for a piece of cloth in their hands.

　　I thought it was just an ordinary stone, but after looking carefully at Qian Yong, he was surprised to find that it was actually a silver mine.

　　For precious ores, such as gold and silver, Qian Yong will naturally recognize them.

　　As a very powerful dynasty in history, the economic development of the Tang Dynasty was extremely prosperous.

　　The circulation of materials is also more frequent, but because the quantity of silver is relatively small, in Datang, silver is quite valuable in terms of purchasing power.

　　In the early Tang Dynasty, the currency system of "both money and silk" was implemented, that is, copper coins and silk fabrics represented by silk cloth and silk were the main legal tender.

　　Both silver and gold, due to their scarcity and high value, are not circulated among the people, and are generally used as settlement currencies for large-scale transactions.

　　So when the Japanese took out dozens of catties of high-purity silver mine and wanted to exchange a piece of cloth with them, Qian Yong was stunned.

　　A few kilograms of silver ore, even if it is refined, will be reduced a lot, but the value is definitely not less than a few dozen copper coins, and the value can be said to have been directly increased by hundreds of times.

　　He sent someone to investigate for a morning and got a rough idea from the Japanese body language.

　　It turns out that the surrounding silver mines are extremely rich. Although silver is very valuable in the Tang Dynasty, there are almost all the stones here, which are not very valuable.

　　"A piece of cloth is exchanged for dozens of kilograms of silver ore?" Everyone was shocked when they saw the high purity silver ore placed by Qian Yong.

　　Lu Xiu wasn't too surprised. From what he knew about the geography, Japan had a rich silver mine, the Iwami Silver Mine. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, its silver production accounted for 30% of the world's total silver production!

　　It seemed that the location where Qian Yong docked the ship should not be far from the Iwami Silver Mine.

　　"Hey, Brother Lu, can I let the boat take another day, and I also want to exchange some silver mines with them to go home and lay the floor." Cheng Yaojin said with a bright face.

　　"It's a really good idea, the old man also wants to lay a layer of silver floor tiles at home." Fang Xuanling said happily.
