Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

?

　　 Little snow fell in Tokyo the next day, and the fine snowflakes drifted between the sky and the earth, making the quaint city scenery hazy. A carriage drove slowly from the street to the old house of Guo's Mansion.

　　 There are still people within three or five steps in the snow, and the man wearing a hat and a drape is walking casually on the swaying street. The armored warrior in front of the mansion walked up a few steps, looked at the **** who had just turned over and got off his horse and asked, "Duke Yang, who is in the car?"

　　 The **** took out a note and said, "This car cannot be searched. Open the door."

　　 Takeo looked at the note, turned around and beckoned. The old wooden door opened with a "creak".

　　 When the carriage drove into the yard and stopped, the gate of the yard was closed. After a while, a woman walked out of the car, wearing a drapery to cover her head tightly, and wearing a black fur cloak with a ribbon tied tightly under her neck. Only the exposed shoes let others know that she is not an ordinary woman. Even the embroideries on the shoes are inlaid with gold threads, which is obviously not rich or expensive.

　　 "Mrs. Shen, please." Yang Shiliang, the **** in the palace also said politely.

　　 A quiet voice said: "There is Father Lao Yang."

　　 Mrs. Shen is Chen Jiali, she should be the richest woman in the entire dynasty and even the world.

　　 The **** took Chen Jiali to the door of the lakeside log house, and then retreated silently. There are a little quaint houses here, and there is not even a person around. When she was about to walk in, she heard the voice of a man inside, saying, "This house is not backed by water, it is very humid, and Mr. Feng Shui also said that it is not suitable for living. But there are no perfect things in the world. It should be ventilated and lighted. , Just leave it alone."

　　...Chen Jiali walked into the door and saluted in every way: "See your majesty in your concubine."

　　 "Mrs. Shen exempts the ceremony." Guo Shao sat at a few tables and looked at her tightly wrapped with interest.

　　 She finally stretched out her hand from the cloak and went to take the drapery on her head. The hands are white like fat, the nails are painted with red patterns, and the ring finger is wearing a sparkling jewel ring, which contrasts greatly with the black cloak, as if suddenly seeing fireworks in the dark night. She took off the veil weakly and eased the cloak on her body.

　　 "A person like me who lives alone and secluded, I shouldn't have met with a man, but it is hard to violate the Holy Order." She said a bit aggrieved.

　　 Guo Shao joked: "It's the madam of the minister's house, didn't I want to see me? Madam Shen took off a cloak that covered the snow, which made me feel nervous as if watching my wife undress and undress. It was really interesting."

　　Chen Jialijiao_ sighed: "Your Majesty..."

　　 But he will not deny that Chen Jiali is hypocritical, she has always been like this anyway. In fact, she can do a little thing so interesting, why not amorous? Guo Shao always feels bored with women who are tired and tired of everything.

After Chen Jiali took off her drapery, there was still a layer of translucent silk gauze on her face... Guo Shao believed that the role of the thing was not to hide her "popular appearance", and even Zhou Xian, who was more beautiful than her She didn't pay attention to it, it was the pink jacket lining she wore. Although it was not a low collar, it exposed all the white skin under the collarbone, and even had a groove. Isn't it more than showing up?

　　Without the cloak, Chen Jiali appeared in front of Guo Shao in a jeweled dress. The fine silk and white skin made her glamorous, but not tacky. The gorgeous and exquisite Chen Jiali appeared in this house that was originally a family yard, as if a fairy fell in the dust, eclipsing the surrounding environment.

　　 Chen Jiali looks good and looks good, but her beauty is different from Zhou Xian and Jinzhan. She is really made out of luxurious decorations. Why did she spend all her wealth in eight lifetimes?

"The concubine body is not hypocritical, but Yangzhou officials just built a chastity archway for the concubine body not long ago." Chen Jiali said quietly, "If the concubine body said nothing wrong, such commendations must be performed by the court. Is the memorial approved by your majesty? "

　　Guo Shaomo rubbed his forehead, "If you ask Mrs. Shen to come, you will be unchaste?"

　　Chen Jiali said: "The concubine body would never see a man, let alone this...lonely man_woman."

　　 Guo Shao really didn't understand why, he suddenly wanted to tear off the expensive clothes on Chen Jiali, as well as the things she mounted, to see another scenery.

　　 He took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down for the time being. He pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Madam Shen, sit down. I invite you over today. I have business to discuss."

　　 "Oh?" Chen Jiali stared at her curious and enthusiastic beautiful eyes. She sat down on the chair with care and restraint, her legs close together, her restraint seemed a bit too much, Guo Shao didn't understand what was wrong. This lady holds so many local businesses, and countless merchants and people dealing with her, it is impossible for her to pretend to be this white rabbit.

　　 Guo Shao tapped something on the table, a cloth bag, a rag, "The seeds of Tianzhu cotton and the cloth woven with it."

　　 Chen Jiali glanced at the cloth, then stretched out her delicate fingers, twisted them lightly with her fingertips, and then looked at Guo Shao's face with interest.

Guo Shao said: "When the fleet of the Dragon Army of the Forbidden Army visited Tianzhu, they brought back the seeds. I ordered the Department of Agriculture to plant some. Cotton cloth is warmer and softer than linen, and cheaper and stronger than silk..." He reached out and touched. The silk material on Chen Jiali's sleeve, "The silk is exquisite, but stingy, and it breaks with a single touch."

　　 "Didn't your Majesty be talking about business?" Chen Jiali glared at him.

　　 Guo Shao said: "Isn't I talking about business, it's still a major event."

He pondered for a moment, and said, "Let’s look far and look at business from a long-term perspective. Weaving has a lot to do. The salt merchants nowadays are advantageous, but it is due to the imperial court’s monopoly on salt and iron; while textiles are different, everyone To dress, even if the poor people want to make a new dress for the New Year, fabric is both a necessity and a luxury.

　　 Mrs. Shen believes in my vision to use cotton seeds to promote the textile workshops and make them into industries. There is no need to worry about the market. There are bound to be promising prospects in hundreds of states and overseas expanding provinces. "

　　 Chen Jiali said kindly: "The concubine believes in your majesty, your majesty's talent, the world is beyond reach."

　　 Guo Shao nodded calmly and without humility, encouraging Chen Jiali to invest money. But all this is just to give others confidence. He never felt that he was a genius beyond ordinary people, but he knew that the industrial revolution started from the textile industry... The road that mankind has already traversed, the feasible road proved by reality, why should he abandon it and choose another road? ?

　　Chen Jiali whispered again: "I will do whatever your Majesty wants me to do. Now I have so many homes. If it weren't for your Majesty to rely on, I don't know how many people are holding back."

　　Guo Shao said, "Remember the night of the Tokyo Mutiny, did I hide in Mrs. Shen's house?"

Chen Jiali raised her head and looked at him~www.readwn.com~Guo Shao said in a deep voice: "I have always had a clear grievance, and never want to apologize to someone I trust. As long as Xu Chao is here, whoever wants to make trouble with Mrs. Shen is to be with me. enemy."

　　 Chen Jiali was very moved when she heard that, "Your Majesty has given her concubine such a great favor, and her concubine does not know how to repay..."

　　 "If Mrs. Shen has the heart to repay, I am afraid she can only repay her body." Guo Shao said.

The face in Chen Jiali's veil was instantly red as sunset, and she choked, "Many people who are jealous of their concubine body scolded horribly behind them, saying that their concubine body and concubine body are both a watch and a memorial arch... Now the chastity archway in Yangzhou It’s also repaired, isn’t that really what others scolded?"

　　 Guo Shao said sternly: "Loyalty is also loyalty. Isn't serving the emperor also loyal?"

　　 He reached out tentatively and put his hand on the back of her wonderful hand. Chen Jiali lowered her head and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty thinks Zhou Ehuang is good, or me?"

　　 Guo Shao: "……"
