After the ceremony was completed, the midwife's grandmother retreated with a heavy red smile on her face, and the auspicious words in her mouth were even more like money.

The ink treasure written by Dr. Tu from the front yard was written on the white rice paper, and the word "Jing" was written in a stable manner. Jing, meaning the brilliance of jade, the Pingguo Mansion has been inherited to the generation of Xiao Shizi, and it is time to take a good look at Taoguang and accumulate thick and thin.

According to the genealogy of the Liu family, it is the "Ze" generation, and the name of the little prince is Liu Zejing.

"Oh, my brother Jing. Zeng hugged Xiao Shizi and kissed him on the little cheek. Brother Jing held Zeng's face with his little hands, giggling, saliva dripping down the thread of the toothless mouth.

's own grandson, how cute he looks.

Zeng didn't dislike his saliva either, and took his own light gauze to wipe away his saliva for him, and only his smiling face was visible in his eyes.

The women who surrounded her complimented again and again: "Look at the intimacy between Xiao Shizi and his wife, they are really their own ancestors and grandchildren." ”

"Yes, yes, these eyebrows and eyes are not exactly the same as when the prince was young. ”

Xu Wanzhen secretly slandered in her heart, just such a small baby, where can she see who she looks like?

The Pingguo Mansion was lively for a long time, and a dinner party was held to entertain these close relatives.

The sky slowly darkened, and Xu Wanzhen came out of the hanging flower gate. Wu Zhengxiang waited for her here, and said with a smile: "I thought you wouldn't leave." ”

In addition to these sisters who are close, Xu Wanzhen doesn't have any handkerchiefs.

After coming here, it was the first time she had seen a newborn baby so closely, and it was inevitable that she would take a few more looks.

"I like it so much, why don't we go back early and work hard?" Wu Zhengxiang looked at her, his eyes full of flirtatious smiles.

The maids who followed behind Xu Wanzhen covered their mouths and chuckled, Xu Wanzhen flew at him angrily, "What are you talking about!" and didn't look anywhere.

The tenth year of Qinglong is a year of good weather and rain. Perhaps God has mercy on the people's hard work, and there have been no disasters this year.

The crown prince has become more and more calm and sophisticated in observing the government, and he has been able to dominate the affairs of the court, and there are fewer and fewer things to ask for help from Emperor Qinglong.

Emperor Qinglong saw it in his eyes, on the one hand, he was very pleased, and on the other hand, he was a little disappointed. But his body inevitably declines day by day.

Empress Cao watched silently, her feelings for this man were very complicated. Marrying him changed the trajectory of her entire life.

When she was young, Emperor Qinglong treated her with a lot of coldness and gave her enough respect. In recent years, the relationship between the two has eased greatly, not to mention the love that follows life and death, but also the family affection that has been with each other for many years.

Seeing that he had little time left, Empress Cao's heart was also very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the prince was worried about the government, so she tried her best to manage the palace affairs at hand, so that Emperor Qinglong could live freely in the harem.

With Jiang Bingwei by his side regardless of his name, Emperor Qinglong cherished the little remaining time more and more. Or go to Yanqing Palace to talk to the Empress Dowager Xiao, or go to see the homework of the princes and princesses, and also meet his former concubines.

Since he ascended the throne as emperor, he has never been so leisurely. This year, he let go of all his worries and walked all over the harem. If it weren't for his physical condition, he would even want to go out to see and see the great rivers and mountains under his governance.

And among the people, a lot of things happened in the past year that Xu Wanzhen cared about.

Tu Manfen married Wang Leyu in June, and when the osmanthus flowers were fragrant in August, the good news of pregnancy came out.

Tu Manfen was the head of the house after she got married, and Wang Leyu had long since severed ties with the Wang family in Suzhou and set up her own door. He kept his promise so that she could still keep herself busy with the cotton mill.

Finally, at the same time that she was diagnosed as pregnant, the cotton workshop also produced light white and soft cotton.

Double happiness is coming, Mr. Ning set up a banquet in Baicaowei to invite meritorious officials, and sent a reward to go down, and the cotton workshop can officially start mass production.

After Tu Manfen became pregnant, Mr. Ning did not allow her to continue to travel. discussed the shares with Xu Wenmin, and Xu Wenmin sent a steward to follow up the matters.

Under Mr. Ning's leadership, cotton was successfully made. But she is indifferent, she doesn't care much about money, and she doesn't think about monopolizing resources and making profits from them.

She and Xu Wanzhen's original intention was to let the people wear warm and affordable cotton clothes. Moreover, the role of cotton is so great that the entire textile industry will benefit from it.

Therefore, what Mr. Ning thinks is that this technology can be quickly popularized to the whole Gaomang, not unique to her.

After summoning Xu Wanzhen, Xu Wenmin, and Tu Manfen to discuss together, the cotton textile technology was formed into a strip and reported to the imperial court through the brocade workshop.

The finished products made of cotton, such as quilts, cotton jackets, cotton cloths, etc., were handed over to the Xu family firm to build a special workshop to expand production. In addition, through the sales network of the firm, it quickly spread to the whole world.

Mr. Ning changed the former cotton workshop into a place for further research on finished cotton products. For example, Xu Wanzhen never forgot the sanitary napkin.

The brocade workshop was already in charge of textiles, and the emergence of this new technology made Xu Changzong also make a contribution.

The prince was already very interested in new things from the people, and the quill pen presented by Xu Wanzhen a few years ago has now spread all over the world through schools and commercial houses.

Quill pens are inexpensive and can be made from hand-picked materials. It has reduced the learning cost of poor students, and even popularized writing to a certain extent, so that the people's wisdom has just opened.

This time, the cotton spinning wheel and other technologies made him see far more than business opportunities. With such an affordable cold thing, it can be used by more old and weak people to survive the cold winter in winter.

Since the establishment of the Gao Mang Dynasty, he has just recovered from the war of the previous dynasty. After the recuperation of the first emperor and the Qinglong emperor, the land was full of life, and the population slowly multiplied.

For a country to prosper, whether it is military strength or commerce, the humble people of Lebanon are the top priority.

More importantly, if such a thick padded jacket is provided to the soldiers on the border area, the combat effectiveness will increase by at least 30%.

This is not an exaggeration at all.

You must know that although Gao Mang's textile industry is developed, the value of silk and satin is high, and the common people cannot afford it.

Before the advent of cotton, the most common people wore linen cloth made of coarse linen such as kudzu linen. This kind of coarse cloth clothes made of linen cloth have very hard fibers that pierce people's skin, and more importantly, they have a very poor ability to keep out the cold.

The furs, fox furs and other things that large families often use to keep out the cold in winter are even more out of reach for ordinary people.

Even the soldiers guarding the frontier were mostly dressed only in linen. Those silk furs, only a very small number of generals, adjutant generals, etc. are qualified to wear them.
