Chapter 55: The Generation Gap

Nalan's gift was a complete set of wedding dresses.

Fu Yao was slightly uneasy: "This is too precious." ”

The north-south trade is silk and silk, but silk (please do not delve into it) is not among them.

Zhao Er's subordinates glared at He Tian, who was an adviser in the mission, for a while: "This young master, have you seen me wearing silk?" Which of us wore it? My emperor is wearing it, I can't make one a year, how much do you say? A thousand horses? Even if it's 10,000 taels of silver a horse, there is no such thing at this price. ”

Of course, later people gave two sets as gifts, one set for the emperor and one set for the princess and the prince. Said respectfully: "Just two sets of ready-made, you want to be a piece of silk, these two years of continuous war, the palace has not called a craftsman to do this." ”

Therefore, the whole set of silk is still embroidered with fine gold thread, the sun, moon, stars, dragons and phoenixes, and you can't buy it with any amount of silver.

Nalan smiled: "Speaking of which, this is still the craftsman that Wei Shuai wants to rob, I'm afraid it can't compare to the craftsmanship of the southern country, in the end, the looms are all drawn by him from memory, but the craftsmen of the Demon Sect are also masters." After more than two years of testing, this one was finally made, and the prince smiled. ”

Fu Yao picked it up and looked at it for a while: "I'm a layman, and it doesn't look worse than Nanguo's." Is this really a year's work? ”

Nalan said: "It may be faster to make a hand, but to make this kind of thing, it will take ten or eight years to make a successful one." ”

Fu Yao said: "It's so time-consuming, it's not worth it." "What kind of clothes are not worn, and it takes a year to make them? This is crazy, right? Crazy, right?

Nalan said: "This...... The pearl and hosta ring, how is it worth it. ”

Fu Yao thought about it and smiled: "You are also right, beauty is the ultimate pursuit of human beings. I'm not saying that this gift isn't precious, but I just think that the clothes are developing in this direction, seemingly, it seems...... Not necessarily profitable, right? "As long as you can eat a full meal, you will try to decorate yourself. But wouldn't it be a huge waste for a craftsman to make one piece of clothing a year, hey, we're not rich enough yet.

Nalan said: "Don't worry about sales. Xiao Wei said that we just have to weave it, and he will give it whatever price we want. When the time comes, take this to the Persian feast, I don't know how much I can get back. The princess only thought that this was a currency that was easy to store and transport. ”

Fu Yao smiled: "Xiao Wei caught the craftsman and didn't send it to the palace, but sent it to your mother." Does this guy have the consciousness of a courtier? ”

Nalan said: "Hey, Xiao Wei didn't discuss it with you?" The child was like a living monkey, and his ghost ideas were jumping around like a flea. Laughing: "The emperor just waits for Nanguo to send it." "Sent to the palace, it really doesn't produce any benefit. How many Persian glazed sice incense pills could have been exchanged for, and they were locked up in the palace, so that they could have made clothes for the emperor to wear? Not cost-effective.

Let's mention this, Fu Yao is also a little unhappy, why can't we wear the emperors of other countries? The emperor of the most noble and rich people in the country, the emperor of our country can't afford to wear clothes that businessmen can afford. struggling between public and private desires for a while, he sighed slightly: "Let's add to this problem after two years of getting richer, it's too extravagant for me to wear this, let's exchange it." ”

Nalan said: "This is the first one, it is a gift for your wedding." ”

Fu Yao wanted to excuse herself, but she saw that Nalan was already embarrassed on her face. He smiled: "But it's disrespectful, thank you." By the way: "Xiao Wei has the intention of going to Persian food to do business?" "Boy, there is a kind of you who came to me and told me that you were going to go on the Silk Road!

Nalan said: "He has always had business over there, right?" It's just that now it's different from before, and the newly built countries in the west dominate that road and it's not easy to pass. ”

Fu Yao smiled: "It's okay to try." ”

There are people in the west who are not honest, wait for me to save up enough energy and solve it. What country stuck our necks can't do it,

Nalan said: "Silver silk is not easy to digest, exchange for out, light taxes and tax reductions, can attract more border people to come over, some people farm, some people graze, some people do business, which side of the problem can be avoided and endanger the whole country." ”

A few years ago, a severe drought led to the need to borrow grain from the southern countries, and the monolithic structure was insecure. The appearance of the caravan can exchange what I have for what I don't have, no food, take furs in exchange, farming, business. This year was a disaster, so I'll plant it again next year. So poor that there are no more seeds to plant, you join the caravan to work as a coolie. Let the young and middle-aged have a job to do, and there is a way to live.

Fu Yao agrees that the business activities of the Demon Sect are still beneficial.

Although she still thinks that moderation in martial arts is also a top priority. But this kind of moderation is not to kill the Northern Martial Arts, and it is best for the Leng family and the Demon Sect to check and balance each other. Let them open up new space for exchanging force for silver, which can effectively avoid infighting, a country of millions of people, an area of millions of square kilometers, one person and 10,000 miles, what do you like, everyone works hard to toss their own, why rob each other.

It's just that this idea should be recognized by both the Leng family and the Demon Sect, and if she rushes and hurts her friendship, she can't withstand the sharp confrontation inside. If the Demon Sect strives for business in the north and west, and gives a little profit to the Leng family, I am afraid it will be beneficial to the stability of the country. In countries near the south, such as Zimeng City, it seems that it is more beneficial to agricultural development to develop agriculture steadily and maintain a more orderly environment. Then, the Leng family, which is relatively restrained, is better to control the south. Such a structure also seems to contribute to the stable transformation of the Demon Cult, and you can slowly civilize and slowly become non-combat. If it is done too drasticly, it is easy to cause a backlash within the Demon Sect, and the consequences will either weaken the combat effectiveness or completely slide into the old model.

Wei Shuaiwang's new ideas are very much recognized by Fu Yao.

Nalan asked with a smile: "Let the emperor give you a marriage, but is it to please Lord Qiu?" ”

Fu Yao said: "Uncle Han and Qiu Ye are a little dissatisfied? Xiao Wei is very worried and hopes that they will be reconciled as before. ”

Nalan was silent for a while: "This is really his heart." ”

Fu Yao asked softly, "What do you think?" ”

Nalan sighed slightly: "Han Qing can be regarded as a dead man after doing his best to Qiu Ye." He's just trying to have it both ways, and I'm at this point, of course...... However, he really didn't feel good, it was one thing to like the pastoral life, and sticking to the countryside and staying away from old friends should not be the result of him. I just don't want to see him wronged anymore. ”

Fu Yao said: "Shuai Wang is here, his master will not be wronged." ”

Nalan smiled and after a while: "Thank you." The voice was hoarse.

Fu Yao was silent. Of course, she just wanted Wei Shuai to feel better, and Nalan's slightly hoarse voice made her feel gloomy. With Han Qing's wisdom, if he thinks about himself at all, he will not be like this, and his character is so noble that he should be more respected. But as a high-level martial arts officer who has been involved in politics, is it really good for the overall situation to work hard like this? The hero drew his knife in anger, and he bore it all his own strength. As a leader, I am afraid that it will be easy to go to the trouble and become a chaotic situation. It is true that Han Qing is sure that someone can stabilize the situation, but it is better to stand there and resist it if he leaves beautifully. Fu Yao prefers the Han Zhangmen who did it himself but did not back down, and now she prefers Wei Shuaiwang, who makes every effort to back down but insists on maintaining a peaceful situation.

Fu Yao presented the six gifts she had prepared. Nalan came from afar, presumably unprepared. The gifts are decent, they are all palace styles, and the quality is medium, not the top luxury type. First, the young couple is not a rich person, and they really give a full set of luxury products, and they can't afford to maintain them. Really precious items, all need to be moisturized, moisture-proof, cool, and insulated, all kinds of maintenance, and then cleaned by special personnel. Moreover, these things are clearly given by the princess, which will not lose face and will not damage Han Qing's reputation for being honest. From gold and silver to traditional goose ceremonies, they are all prepared.

Nalan said: "It's hard for you to think so thoughtfully. "Things are not expensive, but hearts are rare.

Fu Yao smiled: "I still have some jewelry, let's give it to Leng Lan." "This box is obviously much more valuable. When I opened it, it was all exquisite styles created by the south, and Nalan was surprised: "Lan girl doesn't like these either, so keep the princess status for yourself." ”

Fu Yao said: "Although I like this thing to be delicate, it is not good to take the lead and dress like a foreigner. It doesn't matter if Lan Yatou doesn't like it, she just showed Qiu Ye a picture and was happy. ”

When Nalan heard her say this, he knew that the set of silk clothes was about to press the bottom of the box. This is true, your royal family takes the lead in dressing like the southerners, and everyone who makes clothes and jewelry in your country is going to die? When it comes to self-restraint, Xiao Fuyao is really a model, what I like and what I should do, I can tell the difference.

However, is it really good for such a woman to be a wife? Ordinary girl, a string of beads and two jewels have already laughed into a flower, this woman, what do you use to make her laugh? Nalan couldn't help but smile, just Xiao Wei, and give up the country to please you at every turn.

Wei Shuaiwang waited outside for this hundred claws scratching his heart, wife, what are you doing? Come out of here.

For the first time in my life, I just want to accompany my wife quickly and leave my master to my mother.

Oops, I was so anxious that I couldn't find a happy topic. Tell us about the meeting, shall we? No, Master is so smart that he immediately understands what is going on, and it is hard to say whether he likes it or not. Let's talk about the master, oops, I'm afraid, I'm not ready, I'm procrastinating, I can say it later. Let's talk about my dad, hey, my dad may be going to have a second spring...... Phew, and then I have to mention Mei Zicheng, I don't want to mention it at all. Talking about the Demon Sect, can't I find it comfortable? What about cold first? I haven't had time to tell him to stay away. Wife, save me.

Han Qing smiled and asked, "The black wolf is not here?" ”

Wei Shuai's eyes straightened: "Hmm." "It's so accurate, hey, I hurt so much. Well, actually, I have pain points all over my body.

Han Qing sighed, do I ask or not? It didn't seem like a pleasant topic, but it seemed too obvious to change the subject immediately: "It's safer to have a brother around." "Change the subject!

Wei Shuai blinked: "Hmm...... "Rub, what about Leng Xian?" Don't come out!

Shuai Wangfu was so happy: "I forgot, I'll call Sang Cheng over." "See you again.

Han Qing looked at Wei Shuai's back, and was silent for a while, he was alive.

If you have different opinions on everything, can't you hide if you can't provoke it?

When Sang Cheng saw Han Qing, his knees fell to the ground, and he burst into tears: "Master! ”

Han Qing hurriedly helped him up: "Sang Cheng, get up quickly." ”

Sang Cheng choked up: "Master, how are you doing?" I thought I'd see you as soon as the battle was over. ”

Han Qing smiled: "Isn't this a sight?" Look at you, like a child. While laughing, he wiped his tears for Sang Cheng, and his eyes were slightly red.

Sang Chengdao: "Master, you're not here, so many things have happened recently, I don't know who to ask." Master, have you drunk any water? Do you want to rest for a while, and I'll talk to Master again. ”

Wei Shuaiwang said silently, can you not talk about it? Woo......

Alas, go ahead, what's the big deal, you can still die. Our master didn't make a judgment a long time ago, if I am a damned person, I will die if I die, and if I die again, I will just die.

Han Qing smiled: "Your junior brother is not here?" Just ask him. ”

Shuai Wang laughed, hehe, hehe......

Sang Chengdao: "He doesn't talk often at all!" ”

Han Qing said: "Shuai Wang, talk to your senior brother with respect." ”

Shuai Wang smiled again: "Yes, yes." "Woo...... That's the end of the conversation.
