393, September 3, 2nd year, sunny scenery, ten miles of thousands of households

A bright glass mirror was carefully placed in the bedroom of the prince's mansion of Liao, and at the same time, there was a wooden box with peach blossom splendor, and there was an iron lock with plum blossom prints hanging on the wooden box, and the key was placed on it, but if it was not twisted according to the upper sexagenary branch, the box could not be opened.

"Bells and whistles."

Buddha Baonu stood in front of the mirror of the body, looking up and down at this rare object, there are actually mirrors sold by big cannibals on the market, the bigger the higher the price, the three-foot square mirror, it can be sold for as many as 100,000 yuan before, and this kind of mirror that is higher than a person is already priceless, even the big cannibal can't make such a mirror.

"The walnut frame is quite exquisite." Buddha Baonu flicked the frame: "It was sent by a merchant of the Song Kingdom?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, it was indeed sent by a merchant of the Song Kingdom, and it was said that His Highness would know it when he saw it."

"Hmph."

Buddha Baonu snorted softly: "When I don't know if that dog thing is trying to mock me again, okay, you step back first." ”

"Yes."

After the subordinate left, Buddha Baonu stood in the mirror and carefully looked at his appearance, which was unprecedented before, although it was a bronze mirror and bright, but it was indeed not as translucent as this kind of mirror.

But mirrors weren't a rarity, and even those large were not surprising, and she turned her head to look at the box she had rated as bells and whistles.

This box seems to be made of wood, but it weighs hundreds of catties, and it takes seven or eight people to carry it in.

The only thing that can open it is the key, and this key alone is still not enough, and it has to be accompanied by a "password", as for what this password is, God knows......

The sixty-four phases of the heavenly and earthly branches above have already undergone thousands of changes, and the Buddha Baonu has not been able to open it for a long time.

Just when she was full of irritability, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and tried it with her birthday, but she didn't expect a crisp sound from the lock to open......

Anu stared at this box with wide eyes in disbelief, her birth date was very secret, and no one could know about it, and this first hand was equivalent to giving her an unexpected dismount.

Dismount......

"Dog, you think this will scare me?" Buddha Baonu snorted coldly and opened the box with all his strength, only to find that there was actually a piece of clothing inside.

She took out her garment and shook it a few times, spreading it out......

"Wow...... Oh......"

She subconsciously exclaimed her voice, because the dress in her hand was a luxurious and amazing red top, the material was dark woven Shu brocade, if it was not visible in the sun, it was possible to see a dark golden phoenix jumping on it, the phoenix's head hung on the chest, and the tail feathers were hanging on the back in a flying trend.

And then there is a matching skirt at the bottom, the skirt is very long, like a phoenix tail like dragging on the ground, thirty warp threads have a gold wire imitation in it, so that the whole skirt is slightly textured but luxurious, with the top seems to be incarnated as a colorful phoenix, incarnated out.

Finally, there is a dark color shirt under the head, which is worn outside the shirt, although it is a black color, but it is a blend of silk and gold silk, which seems to be as thin as a cicada's wings, but it also needs to let the sunlight shine back to produce a wonderful refraction, and if it is worn outside the clothes inside, not only will not block the momentum of the dark embroidery, but there is a feeling of the colorful phoenix placed in the clouds, which can be described as beautiful with it.

At the bottom of the box was a set of jewelry, all made of yellow platinum, incomparably fine and beautiful, and next to the gold ornaments was a plate-like thing containing sixty-four shades of toner sorted into small grids, and thirty-two small jars, which when opened revealed to be thirty-two different red lip glosses.

Thirty-two lipstick sets...... As long as it is a woman, it will explode on the spot, and Buddha Baonu is no exception. She sat in front of the case and played with gouache and lipstick for an entire hour, plus a strange liquid that she thought was wine at first but later turned out to be perfume.

In the end, she couldn't bear the torture, and finally put on that luxurious dress that even she had never seen, and then chose her favorite gouache and lipstick, completely restoring herself to a woman's posture.

When she saw herself in the mirror, she almost became cognitively impaired, because for the first time in her life, she wore men's clothes that should have belonged to her.

Although when she was a child, she would wear her mother's clothes in her room and imagine that she was like the women on the street, and she would secretly dress herself up as a woman, but she had never been able to make herself so enjoyable.

After standing in front of the mirror for a long time, she finally silently put everything back in the box, changed into a man's costume and wiped the fat powder off her face, relocked the box, and sat quietly on the sidelines.

No one knew what she was doing, because no one knew what she was thinking, but she finally let out a long sigh and muttered something to herself, and it was as usual.

"The book of the Propaganda Department."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry of Liao State hurriedly came, and he didn't even dare to raise his head when he saw Buddha Baonu, and then he was scolded for half an hour inexplicably......

"The Song State has it, how can I not have it? They have workshops, and so do we! This matter will be left to you, and if it can't be done, come and see you. ”

"Your Highness...... The workshop of the Great Song Dynasty, Wei Chen also inquired, and heard that the workshop can swallow tens of thousands of gold in one day......"

"Do you mean that the Song Kingdom can afford it, but I can't afford it?" Buddha Baonu's eyes narrowed slightly: "Let you do it, you can do it." I have a lot of land, but I can't even run a workshop? Go for it! ”

"Yes......"

Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry of Liao State bowed and left, Buddha Baonu sat there and was angry, she was angry that Song Dog gave her many things that Liao couldn't make, and she was even more angry that she really liked those things......

She doesn't have too many thoughts, it's just one point, what Song can have, Liao must have! Can a butcher eat a hairy pig without that one?

Da Liao has never lost to the Song State since the founding of the country, how can the humble Song be arrogant there? Isn't it just a workshop, isn't it just throwing money, it's over when you smash it, Song can make steel, and Liao can too. Song can weave, Liao can also. Isn't it just a broken mirror, really when Da Liao can't get a broken mirror?

Slippery world!

The more Buddha Baonu thought about it, the more angry he became, and he turned around like smashing a mirror, but the chair in his hand had already been lifted, but he was reluctant to do it, and walked out with a cloth cover with a cold snort.

At this moment, Song Beiyun was sitting in the post station eating, Yi Cheng didn't know the identity of the two people in front of him, but he didn't dare to slack off, because although Song Beiyun was in civilian clothes, the official boots on his feet were the exclusive official boots of the Imperial City Division.

"This king is considered to have accepted your affection." After taking a drink, King Fu said: "I didn't expect that in just half a year, your reputation as the Imperial City Division will be far and wide. ”

"It's the Imperial City Division of the Great Song Dynasty." Song Beiyun hurriedly corrected: "It has nothing to do with me. ”

"Heh, it's not leaking." King Fu looked at Xiao Song: "I heard that your workshop can burn the rations of 300,000 people for half a year in a month?" Why not give this money to the people? ”

"Helping the people is the work of helping the people, and burning money in the workshop is the work of burning money in the workshop, and the two sides are not next to each other. You can't take the money out of the workshop just because someone is affected. Song Beiyun explained: "As long as the workshop is burning money for a day, the Jinliao grassland will not be peaceful for a day, and if it is for the people...... Lord Wang, don't say that I regard human life as a mustard, they are not worth it. ”

"How dare you say such a thing?" King Fu was also surprised: "The ancient Son of Heaven didn't dare to say it. ”

"I'm not the Son of Heaven, so the Son of Heaven naturally doesn't dare, but I'm not the Son of Heaven, why don't I dare?" Song Beiyun spread out his hands: "There is a logical problem here, that is, each post actually has the responsibilities and functions of each post, the Son of Heaven does the business of the Son of Heaven, the ministers do the affairs of the ministers, the relief of the victims has the money to relieve the victims, and the construction industry has the money to build the industry. ”

King Fu picked up the chopsticks and was about to hit, Song Beiyun hurriedly raised his hand to block, but the chopsticks didn't come down in the end, but King Fu sat alone and drank wine: "This king is old, and his vision is like this, and he is ashamed but helpless, and the most helpless thing in the world is that he is getting old." ”

Song Beiyun glanced at King Fu, chuckled lightly but did not speak, because "old" is a physiological process that is difficult for a person to avoid, and the invincible Zhao Defang cannot avoid this problem, a new era is coming, it is difficult for him to keep up with the pace of the new era, just like the once omnipotent father suddenly came up with a face full of shame one day and asked "How to apply for this WeChat", the invincible fathers in the world will one day be left behind by the times, because they are old.

The only thing Song Beiyun could do was to be patient and explain to him why the existence of the workshop was important, indispensable, and even could contain the neck of the Liao State.

"Liao has two ways to choose in the future, if you don't want the whole country's lifeline to be curbed by the Great Song Dynasty, then Buddha Baonu will definitely choose to burn money with the Great Song Dynasty, forming a kind of competition, this kind of competition must die in the end Liao, because they have no basic industry, let alone know the meaning of the existence of engineering systematization. They hit the big luck, and even if the big luck can be successful, the production capacity, scale, cost, and quality can not be compared with the big song, the market is an extremely cruel place, it is not emotional, it will not say at all because this is the big liao market to wipe out the big song products, because the big song products are better, newer and cheaper. The door of free trade was opened by their own hands, and if they tried to close it, countless people would be cut off from their roots. Song Beiyun explained to King Fu in detail: "Whether it is an arms race or an industrial race, as long as the Liao State steps in with one foot, the Buddha Baonu who does not admit defeat will eventually turn the Liao State into a small pet in the backyard of the Great Song Dynasty, we don't have to take it, but at least in the next few decades, let it be obedient." ”

King Fu tried hard to understand what Song Beiyun said, but in the end, many words were fresh and confused for him, he was a little shy and a little helpless, and finally asked the puzzle in his heart with a slightly red face with wine.

Song Beiyun didn't take the tone of the tone, and explained these things very quickly, such as the problem of industrial systematization.

"Just like the treasure knife I gave to the official family, if the prince wants it, he will build 100,000 for you in three months."

King Fu was stunned: "It's all that quality?" ”

"Maybe it's a little better, because there was news before I came that nickel ore had been discovered. Manganese steel nickel-plated, I have it all over the world. ”

King Fu's eyes exploded with Venus, he naturally saw Zhao Xuan show off the treasure knife, and when he saw it, his heart was actually sour, no matter what...... The fact that this dog thing is his son-in-law has been decided, but as Lao Taishan, he doesn't have such a good thing, and the unhappiness in his heart is naturally indescribable.

But now I heard that the sword that can make the emperor of a country show off in the imperial garden is only a big road goods of 100,000 pieces in three months, which makes the old man's heart even more uncomfortable.

"This knife, we just took it to Liaoguo and sold it, and they couldn't imitate it."

"Why?"

Song Beiyun began to briefly introduce: "Let's reverse the manufacturing process of a knife, the knife is made of steel, and if you want to make steel, you have to have mines, right?" What kind of mine is the mine, it needs to be selected. If you choose the mine, you have to have a furnace, right? What kind of furnace is this stove, the requirements are extremely strict, and it is useless if it does not reach the temperature. So what does it take to make this furnace? Of course, it takes a thousand times of trial and error, and if you have a furnace, do you need coal? Ordinary coal is not enough, it has to be coke, how to make coke, how to desulfurize, how to pickle, this is the doorway. ”

Song Beiyun smiled and took a sip of wine: "This is still a few categories, and then there will be a water forging machine, 3,300 catties of hammer forging, and the Liao State will take his life to build it?" If you also want to make molds, what method is used to forge them, do you really think that you can forge a good sword by jumping into the furnace like in ancient times? ”

Fu Wang Ye smiled and nodded: "It turns out that there are so many doorways in the workshop. ”

"That's a drop in the bucket." Song Beiyun said with a smile: "Take care of your body, don't think about fighting all day long, hug your grandson more at home, and you will come out in a few years to see it, and ensure that the world will be turned upside down and the vicissitudes of life." ”

King Fu pondered for a moment, and hit Song Beiyun on the head with a chopstick: "Bastard thing, don't say I'm not angry!" Where did you place the bells? Pregnancy before marriage is simply ...... for a woman It's ......"

"Isn't that coming?" Song Beiyun spread his hands: "The competition will start on August 15, and if you win, you will get married immediately." ”

"Are you sure you can win?"

"If you can't win, then you can call me?" Song Beiyun raised his head wildly: "Not only do I want to win, but I also want to win with full applause!" ”

It's a shift today, my shoulders are very sore, I should be blowing a fan to blow a cold, very uncomfortable.
