As soon as his voice fell, King Ning suddenly closed his mouth and coughed dryly: "Come on, eat vegetables!" ”

A fluttering sentence made King Ning speechless, Liu Xuan pouted slightly unwillingly, it seems that if he wants to seek justice for himself in this life, he is afraid that he will not be able to do it.

The three of them drank and ate well, Liu Xuan had never seen Liu Zhiqing and Sun Xun, so she couldn't help but ask the two.

Li Che replied: "You are a woman, it is inconvenient to come forward to entertain guests, and the status of Duke Xiao is lower, so the palace will let Liu Zhiqing and Sun Xun go, and you can't let Liu Zhiqing take on the identity of a righteous brother in vain." ”

Liu Xuan nodded at the moment and couldn't help but sigh at Li Che's carefulness, and was about to thank him, and remembered Li Che's words that day, 'You and I don't have to say thank you', so she swallowed the word thank you again, she ate a few mouthfuls of food, and suddenly felt a trace of melancholy in her heart: "The capital is prosperous, we drink and eat here, but Deng Yu's letter said that many border soldiers are cold and hungry, and it is only the twenty-ninth hour, not the coldest time, if it is three hundred and forty-nine, I really don't know how the border soldiers should spend it." ”

Her words caused a silence, and Li Che was silent for a long time and slowly spoke: "The treasury is empty, and the palace can only give him so much. ”

His voice was different from the previous low, Liu Xuan was secretly annoyed that he didn't open which pot to mention, and said with relief at the moment: "Now the brocade textile has been quite profitable, although the expansion of this fragrance has cost some silver, but most of it is sold to the remaining three income, I see that today's opening situation is very good, less than half a month profit should catch up with the brocade cloth, then there is silver, then buy more cotton silk to send to the soldiers, although it is a drop in the bucket but it is better than nothing." ”

Not necessarily. King Ning, who hadn't spoken for a long time, waved his hand and said, "The frontier soldiers have come here like this for so many years. This year is not particularly cold, these silver is still kept in case of emergency, the surrounding countries are eyeing our dynasty, they deceived our dynasty at the beginning of a hundred ruins to be revived, these years have been a lot of temptations, wolf ambitions will one day raise troops to commit. ”

King Ning has been stationed in the frontier for many years with heavy troops, and his words must be groundless for a reason, Liu Xuan can't help but be secretly anxious in her heart, according to the speed at which she makes money, I don't know if I can help Li Che.

Li Che frowned when he heard this: "What King Ning said is also considered in this palace. If farming is not prosperous in the coming year. I'm afraid that the enemy army will come to attack at the end of autumn next year, and other countries have nothing to worry about, but Liao is a big trouble in the heart of this palace! ”

King Ning also frowned when he heard this: "What you said is reasonable, if next year is still not as abundant as farming." War is not far off. ”

King Ning and Li Che were able to talk about state affairs in front of her. It can be seen that the two trust her.

I saw that both of them were gloomy. Liu Xuan clenched his fists and said: "Then build water conservancy and start farming." ”

King Ning looked at her appearance and couldn't help but sigh: "Little girl Xuan is a worried about the country and the people, do you know how much silver is needed to build water conservancy and large-scale farming?" If you have twenty more Yipinxiang, you may be able to help. But with the present property in your hands, it will not work. ”

Liu Xuan didn't look annoyed when she heard this, but was a little eager to try: "There is still some time before the beginning of spring, and you can still give it a go." Even if you can't farm on a large scale, it's good to let the area around the capital develop farming, and there will be a day when the country will be rich and agriculture will flourish once a year. ”

Her eager appearance made King Ning and Li Che both smile, and Li Che nodded lightly: "This palace is waiting for that day." ”

King Ning also said: "Xuan Xiaoya is so ambitious, this king will guard the frontier and wait for the day when he sees the abundant national strength." ”

After the three of them chatted, they didn't talk about state affairs anymore, they chatted casually and a meal passed, Li Che was a good day, and he got up and left after eating, King Ning was here to cheer for Liu Xuan, but now the goal has been achieved and he will not stay for a long time, Liu Xuan is not good to send each other because she is a woman, so she only sent the two to the private room and did not send them again.

After Li Che and King Ning left, Liu Xuan also put on a veil and got up to leave, and when she went down to the second floor, she heard the sound of people talking and arguing, she stopped to listen for a moment and couldn't help but smile slightly, it turned out that these scholars were talking about state affairs, and they were arguing because of a problem, in order not to attract attention, Liu Xuan did not stay for a long time, and when she left, she thought to herself, maybe there will be talented people among these poor students who can help Li Che.

Thinking of today's discussion with Li Che, the king of Ning, Liu Xuan secretly had an idea in his heart, and then the second floor was finished with the theme of farming in January.

When she returned to Liu's house, Qiuju came to report, saying that the shopkeeper of Jinyi Textile had sent someone to inform Chen Liang that the Hang Si had arrived, Liu Xuan was overjoyed, and immediately asked someone to take some samples.

After getting the sample, Liu Xuan was even more happy, it turned out that Chen Liang knew that Liu Xuan wanted to replace the brocade cloth with Hangzhou silk, so he sent some samples of Hangzhou silk, Hangzhou silk is different from Liu Xuan's imagination, it is not only silk cloth, in addition to silk cloth is silk, satin, silk. Silk and other varieties, and these varieties are all light and soft and beautiful.

In addition to the sample, Chen Liang also specially repaired a book to say that the land of Hangzhou silk, can replace almost all the use of brocade cloth, he said in the letter, in the Hangzhou magnates home mostly Hangzhou silk as a quilt, the texture is light and soft but warmer than cotton several times, and it is not easy to get damp without drying, if Liu Xuan can make the silk quilt become a necessary thing for the magnates in the capital, Hangzhou silk will be in short supply.

Chen Liang's letter also mentioned that he began to expand the silk industry after he returned, and there will be good news after the beginning of spring.

Chen Liang's letter was like the sunshine in winter, sweeping away the haze after Liu Xuan and King Li Chening's conversation, the implementation of this matter alone was too slow, she thought about it and hurriedly wrote a letter of worship for people to send to Princess Xue Jun.

Princess Xue Jun was also slightly stunned when she received Liu Xuan's greetings, although Liu Xuan's brocade textile did not affect the business of the embroidery workshop, but the brocade textile was in front of her from decline to prosperity, which made Princess Xue Jun can't help but have a trace of interest in Liu Xuan.

Princess Xue Jun naturally knew about the opening of a pinxiang and she secretly admired Liu Xuan, a woman could cause such a big sensation, she could see that this pinxiang would be a place that everyone in the capital flocked to in the future, and Liu Xuan bought the four major Oiran to make her a little impressed. is not bound by common sense, not bound by common feelings, she is really a strange woman.

After receiving Liu Xuan's greetings, Princess Xue Jun smiled and asked people to reply, saying that she would be waiting for Liu Xuan in the county palace tomorrow.

On the second day, Liu Xuan came to the county king's mansion, just came to the door of the county king's mansion and there was a maid to lead the way, Liu Xuan brought Qiu Ju and Dongmei today, the maid saw Qiu Ju and Dongmei each holding a wooden box, slightly surprised, but she didn't say much. only led Liu Xuan towards the backyard.

It's the twenty-ninth hour. The weather was already very cold, Liu Xuan came to the backyard and saw Princess Xue Jun basking in the sun in the courtyard with a stove in her hand, Princess Xue Jun saw Liu Xuan handing the stove to the maid on the side, and immediately greeted her with a smile: "Miss Liu is finally here." I've been waiting in this courtyard for a long time. ”

She smiled as she led Liu Xuan towards the courtyard. glanced slightly at the wooden box held by Qiu Ju and Dong Mei. He withdrew his gaze.

Liu Xuan smiled and walked with her: "It's Xuan's to let the princess of the county wait for a long time." Xuan looked at the princess of the county, although she was already a princess, but she couldn't grow much older than Xuan, if the princess of the county didn't give up. Is Sister Xuan calling? ”

"Okay, how can it be bad?" Princess Xue Jun smiled and led Liu Xuan into the seat: "I can't ask for a beauty like Miss Liu to call my sister." ”

Liu Xuan sat down with Princess Xue Jun, and then opened her mouth to greet: "Sister said that she laughed, only a clever person like my sister can be called a beauty." ”

Princess Xue Jun smiled: "Sister, don't make fun of my sister, my sister knows that the brocade man's clothes and patterns are all from my sister's hand, if you talk about ingenuity, my sister is." ”

"Sister, why should I be humble." Liu Xuan said with a smile: "The clothes of the embroidery workshop can be custom-made a lot. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the meaning of their words was self-evident.

"I came to visit my sister today, and I didn't have any gifts to give, so I found some gadgets in my shop that were about to be shipped, and I hope my sister will accept it with a smile." Liu Xuan smiled and instructed Qiu Ju behind him: "Qiu Ju, present the wooden box." ”

Qiu Ju was instructed by Liu Xuan to take two steps forward and put the wooden box on the table, Princess Xue Jun said with a smile: "It is enough for my sister to come to my county palace to sit and sit, so why do you need to prepare gifts so politely." ”

Liu Xuan smiled: "It's all gadgets that are about to be shipped, so it's good if my sister doesn't dislike them." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Qiu Ju, and Qiu Ju immediately understood and slowly opened the wooden box on the table.

Princess Xue Jun wanted to be polite a few more words, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was attracted by the things in the wooden box in front of her, she couldn't help but reach out and take out the things in the wooden box one by one, look at it carefully, the more she looked at her face, the more surprised she became, and finally put the things back into the wooden box one by one with a little surprise, she pushed the wooden box back to Liu Xuan and said: "Sister's kindness Sister understands it, but my sister can't accept such a valuable thing." ”

Liu Xuan pretended to be surprised: "It's all gadgets, how can my sister say that it is valuable, but it is just a handkerchief sweat towel decoration, and it is not worth the price of making a winter coat in my sister's embroidery workshop, doesn't my sister think that these gifts are lighter?" ”

"What did my sister say?" Princess Xue Jun said with disgust on her face: "My sister brocade spun a double-sided embroidered handkerchief is worthy of half a piece of clothes in the embroidery workshop, not to mention that this wooden box is not only as simple as a double-sided embroidered handkerchief, Hang silk is comparable to gold silk, and such a valuable gift sister deserves it." ”

"Hang Si is so valuable?" Liu Xuan was surprised: "But the silk I got from Hangzhou is only slightly more expensive than the fine brocade cloth." ”

"Is my sister's words serious?!" Princess Xue Jun looked incredulous, she couldn't help but take the wooden box and open it again, took one of the double-sided embroidered handkerchiefs in her hand and looked at it carefully, after looking at it for a while, she nodded and said: "This is indeed the best Hangsi, where did my sister get it?" ”

Liu Xuan smiled: "Naturally, I got it from Hangzhou, but I bought it from whom, please forgive my sister for not being able to tell me when she was in the time." ”

Princess Xue Jun put down the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, with a slightly disappointed look: "In business, my sister can be regarded as half a businessman, this rule is naturally understood, but my sister is abrupt." ”

"It's good if my sister can understand." Liu Xuan looked at her and said: "My sister has been operating this brocade for a short time, and I see that most of the nobles in the capital love brocade cloth, and I don't know if the nobles like this Hangzhou silk or not. ”

Princess Xue Jun looked at Liu Xuan carefully, and after half a sound, Shi Shiran smiled: "The magnates in the capital naturally love it, but if the price of my sister is too high, even if the magnates buy it, I am afraid that it will be a minority." ”

Liu Xuan also smiled: "This price is naturally not too high, after all, Hangzhou silk is only slightly more expensive than brocade cloth from me, if my sister wants to use Hangzhou silk to replace brocade cloth clothing, I don't know if it can prevail in Beijing?" ”

Princess Xue Jun was slightly surprised: "My sister wants to replace the brocade cloth with Hangsi?" ”

Liu Xuan nodded: "That's what I mean." ”

Princess Xue Jun suddenly smiled bitterly: "Didn't my sister come today to tell me that my embroidery workshop is about to close?" If it is the brocade weaving autocratic Hangzhou silk clothes, even if my embroidery workshop pattern is loved by noble women, I am afraid that there will be a danger in the future, my sister to draw men's clothes is a must, presumably to draw women's clothes is also good, my sister has not fought with me I am grateful, but in the future I will inevitably close the door of the embroidery workshop. ”

Liu Xuan shook her head: "Sister's words are wrong, if I want to replace the Hazuki Embroidery Workshop, why did I come here to tell me today." ”

Princess Xue Jun naturally understood that Liu Xuan would not come today to make a special announcement as she said, what she said before was just throwing bricks and leading to Liu Xuan's words, and when she heard Liu Xuan say this, she immediately arrived: "Sister may as well say it directly." ”

Liu Xuan pointed to the silk in the wooden box and said: "Don't hide my sister, my sister came today to discuss a deal with my sister, Hangzhou silk was originally as expensive as gold silk so few people in the capital use it, but now Hangzhou silk is only slightly more expensive than brocade cloth for me, I want to replace it with Hangzhou silk It must be an easy thing, but at present, with the strength of the Splendid Fang, it must be a long process to completely replace it, and my sister is impatient, so I came to find my sister to contribute to the prosperity of Hangzhou silk." ”

Princess Xue Jun turned between Liu Xuan and the silk handkerchief on the table, and then smiled slightly: "Why is my sister cheaper and let my sister get a piece of the pie?" Brocade has been famous among nobles, and it doesn't take much time for my sister to replace brocade, so why bother looking for my sister? ”

"Sister's words are wrong." Liu Xuan said: "If my sister just wants to make some gadgets, or clothes, then brocade is enough, but my sister wants to do much more than that." ”

Liu Xuan said to Dongmei in the surprised look on Princess Xuejun's face: "Dongmei presented the things to the princess of the county to see." (To be continued......)
