Chapter 15: Busyness I

Don't look at the nineteenth princess with a gentle attitude, tolerant and casual, but she acts very decisively. As soon as he returned to the study, he immediately sent someone to handle many matters raised by Zhu Xiaobao! At the same time, the shop that I just bought has also taken over smoothly, and it is being decorated and arranged with great fanfare! For a while, Mr. Wu was very busy!

And here in the nursery, a relatively remote place has also been selected, and the boundaries have been demarcated, and without the permission of the princess, idle people and others are absolutely not allowed to enter!

This is where Zhu Xiaobao comes into play. Not to mention, the nineteenth princess really supported it and sent more than a hundred people to help Zhu Xiaobao excavate and build. There are sixty female guards in between! It can be said that the strongest labor force of the Nineteenth Princess's Mansion has gathered here!

Don't look at it as a female guard, but there is no ambiguity at all in her work, and there is no coquettish behavior, but she is very serious! And it was the advice of the nineteenth princess, everyone is very respectful of Zhu Xiaobao, and they are doing it completely according to Zhu Xiaobao's command!

It's all the little treasures, but now they are just pointing fingers, and they don't participate in those manual jobs! This made him very satisfied, we are mental workers, and the physical work is almost almost!

In three days, a 10X30 meter pit was dug in the demarcated area, with a depth of two meters, and the bottom of the pit had been tamped and leveled! I have to say that these female guards have a lot of strength, and it doesn't seem to be too difficult to accomplish these things! Much more efficient than those who are inferior!

Through the contact in the past few days, Zhu Xiaobao can be regarded as understanding some of the situation, most of these female guards are slaves! But there are also a quarter of the female guards who are flat, and a few still have houses and land, and even have their own slaves! But they originally intended to follow the nineteen princesses, and their husbands were wives and children at home and took care of the farmland! The status of women in this world is very high!

The demarcated area is a hot labor scene, but Zhu Xiaobao is not idle, he found the blacksmith Li in the original mansion, he has been following the nineteenth princess, he is also a slave, and he has married a wife and has children, and his daughter is also a female guard in the princess's mansion! Therefore, Blacksmith Li always looked proud and grateful in front of Zhu Xiaobao, because his wife was personally matched by the princess's mother! Therefore, Blacksmith Li can be described as loyal to the Nineteenth Princess!

Zhu Xiaobao came to him mainly to understand the equipment and some processes of ironmaking in this era, although Li Blacksmith has been doing it for many years, but the craftsmanship is average, and he can only do some ordinary work! But that's enough, you just need to know some basic information!

Chief Wu also sent two female guards Pegasus to rush back to Qingliang Mountain, and the Wu family specially summoned several experienced craftsmen from the kiln! The mother of the nineteenth princess is surnamed Wu, and she is a member of the Wu family, so most of the residents in Qingliangshan are from the Wu family, and there are a large number of people with good martial arts, which are the potential strength of the nineteenth princess.

In fact, it is also very busy here in Qingliang Mountain, Ji Zhihui and others are buying tea, this time the tea from the new material is different from the previous processing method, using the fried green method, instead of the original steamed green. This surprised some tea farmers, but since they were the people of the Nineteenth Princess, they were all completely obedient!

From this point, Ji Zhihui saw that the potential strength of this nineteenth princess is definitely not simple! Ji Zhihui has never lived in Qingliang Mountain, when his father was teaching here, Ji Zhihui was squandering everywhere! At that time, Ji Zhihui was a very rich person, and it wasn't until Ji Zhihui squandered his family wealth later that he remembered to come to the Nineteenth Princess's Mansion to find an errand!

This time it is an experiment, so the purchase of tea is not very much, only two thousand catties. But Ji Zhihui's requirements are high, he must pick the most tender part, and then according to the method taught to him by Zhu Xiaobao, he first spread it out and cooled, and then finished it at high temperature, kneaded it, and dried it! The whole process is right, but Ji Zhichen has no experience in this area at all, so he can only try little by little first, which also needs to rely on the experience of some old tea farmers, of course, the tea processed a few days ago is very average, the taste is a little bitter, and the color is too dark!

The situation has improved in the next few days, but the quality is average, which is far from what Ji Zhihan expected! There's no way around it, it takes time to gain experience. Now it can only be barely qualified!

In fact, most people are not optimistic about this kind of fried green tea! In this era, it is still popular to make group tea processed in the steaming method! But Ji Zhihui was full of confidence, and Wu Yue, who was present, could only listen to Ji Zhichen, because this time it was the nineteenth princess who adopted Ji Zhichen's suggestion! So Wu Yue didn't behave very positively, and she was still thinking about her competition! So the performance is a bit negative! Some of them are not giving up.

However, the chief manager of Wu sent someone to summon the craftsmen, which made Wu Yue very puzzled, and she also wanted to rush back, although the two female guards couldn't tell what Zhu Xiaobao was doing in that demarcated area! Just dug a super big hole. But I know that this is completely done according to the meaning of Zhu Xiaobao! Now Zhu Xiaobao not only did not receive any punishment, but was proud!

This made Wu Yue's heart even more anxious and depressed, what the hell is going on? An abandoned slave from the Fourteenth Princess's Mansion actually began to command her female guards! Isn't that incredible? Ever since this little fat man appeared, all sorts of strange things have been happening! So Wu Yue really wanted to rush back immediately, but Ji Zhichen's business here was not finished yet! So Wu Yue had to wait patiently.

Originally, it was reserved for several days for these tea farmers to settle the bill, but now it is over in only two days, Wu Yue is in a hurry! So let the bookkeeper work overtime desperately and shorten the time as much as possible!

"Wu Guard, can you get some good wine! Look my mouth is dry! Ji Zhihui shouted to Wu Yue on the side.

There is no other drink in this world except tea and wine! Even women like Wu Yue like them like to drink, but the alcohol they drink is too low, so they basically drink it as a drink! And Ji Zhihui's amount of wine is very amazing, and he likes high-count wine, his previous record is to drink two jars of wine, and he can calmly climb into it from outside the courtyard wall of a rich woman. Ji Zhihui really misses those delicious food and rich women very much!

"I've bought dozens of pounds for you! No money! Wu Yue said very dissatisfied, Ji Zhichen's money had already been spent, and he had no choice but to ask Wu Yue for help, but Wu Yue didn't bring much money, although the purchase of tea was carried with silver taels, but at that time, the public funds, Mr. Accounts were tightly managed!

"Hey! Next time, I'll let Xiaobao make some good wine, and I'll give it back to you when the time comes! You're going to have some more money to come out!" Ji Zhihui said a little scoundrelly.

"Humph! Looks like you're familiar with that damn little fat man, huh? Don't borrow! "As soon as Wu Yue heard Zhu Xiaobao, she was angry!

"Hey, hey! In general, it is to mix some delicious food with him! Ji Zhihan smiled wryly, this time it's good, it's impossible to borrow money to buy wine, this woman is too vindictive! Ji Zhihui really misses the delicious food of Zhu Xiaobao, and he also misses those little maids, although the female guards here are heroic and cool, there is no shortage of good-looking ones, but Ji Zhihui is very self-aware, and he can't afford to provoke him at all!

……

In the Shengwang Mansion in the south of the Imperial City, His Royal Highness the Sixth was playing with a short sword, and his mouth was still admiring: "Sure enough, it is the craftsmanship of Du Shidao, it is very good!" It should be able to be counted as nine products! Oh, by the way, what has Xia Zhen'er been doing lately? That shop hasn't opened yet? And what about that Wu Yue?"

"It's a little strange, the nineteenth sister has been very busy recently, those guards have been in and out, and they have bought a lot of coal, and the strangest thing is that they have also bought a lot of iron and stone, and all kinds of shovels and pickaxes and other things, I don't know what kind of fame they are doing! Wu Yue took a young man surnamed Ji who was newly recruited to go outside the city, and my people didn't follow anymore, for fear of being discovered by them! "The fourteenth princess told all the information she had collected to her own brother, His Royal Highness Xia Zesheng! They are brothers and sisters of the same father and mother!

"Flint? Stone? It is understandable for her to buy flint, what is she doing when she buys ironstone? Do you make your own iron tires? It's really confusing, isn't it? His Royal Highness Xia Zesheng said with a little surprise.

"Whatever, isn't she just a little girl! Why do you have to stare at her? Even the eldest and second emperor brothers have gone to look for her, do you also have a crush on her? The fourteenth princess asked a little puzzled, although her brother is more amorous and lustful, but he has never been nonsense in serious matters!

"Hmmm! I'm just in case, after all, now that my father is getting old, it is estimated that the battle for the heir is not far away, just in two or three years. I don't want to have an extra opponent I don't understand! I don't want her to stand in the camp of other royal brothers! Xia Zesheng shook his head and said in a low voice.

"So what now? She was not close to anyone, and the gifts sent by the royal brothers were all returned by her! We too, the last time she fell into the lotus pond, there was no reaction at all! I don't think she is in trouble, that is, she doesn't want to offend anyone, just keep her alone! "The fourteenth princess felt that her brother was thinking a little too much, too cautious!

"Hmmm! Then take a look at the results of Wu Yue and Gao Tiehua's competition! If she is vulnerable, then take a tough attitude and let her come to our side! Hmph, chaos is coming, if you want to be alone, it's impossible! Unless she can have her own fiefdom and army like the Seventh Princess. Otherwise, you can only be obedient! Xia Zesheng smiled faintly, waved the short sword casually, and the six candles on the candlestick on the table were neatly blocked in two sections......
