Section 416 Eating, carriages, and methods
A family of four eats, father-in-law, mother-in-law, daughter and son-in-law, and they are happy!
This meal is a bit chic, it is a filial piety as a son-in-law, he brought a cook, and cooked in the palace. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The palace stewards had some scruples, and the emperor said unhappily: "Afraid of poison? His wife is pregnant with his child and he wants to poison his family? β
Only the son-in-law succeeded in bringing in the chef to cook, and the others did not have such treatment at all!
Wei Xi is filial piety, and the other is to advertise Dengzhou seafood, which can be regarded as a hard work.
Specially used Dengzhou seafood dry food cooking, there are braised abalone, green onion fried sea cucumber, scallop porridge, sea rice courgette, grilled squid shreds, fried shrimp cakes, etc., the food is not much, but the food is fine, the taste is excellent!
The emperor is sick, Princess Taiping is pregnant, and I don't eat much seafood, but everyone sits together and feels at home!
The two saints sighed, and when they were with their sons, the three sons were trembling, sitting in a precarious position, and they didn't dare to say a word.
And the daughter and son-in-law are very different, Princess Taiping is the most favored, Wei Xi is a person who is free, can speak well, does everything well, and never has stage fright.
Not having stage fright is half the success, eating this meal and fruit after the meal, drinking tea, they only talk about homely things, Wei Xi said some interesting stories outside, and chose the good ones to say, so that everyone laughed constantly and was happy.
The emperor said very happily: "Horse, I have time to come to the palace with the princess to accompany us, come more!" β
"yes!" The queen of heaven also echoed, her eyes were soft, as kind as a mother-in-law outside, without the slightest sternness above the temple.
"Yes, yes!" Princess Taiping shouted.
"Obey the Divine Commandment!" Wei Xi responded.
The two saints are sincere, as the supreme, they are called lonely people, and there are really not many people close to them.
They know that the people around them are either not afraid of him, or they don't want to meet his needs.
And his daughter and son-in-law are quite special.
Taiping is young, she doesn't know the benefits of power, she just wants to be happy at her parents' knees, and she has a husband who satisfies her, so she wants nothing else.
And Wei Xi, the two saints will look at people, and see that this son-in-law is different, he is extremely capable, shrewd and capable, and it seems that everything is under his control, watching him eat with the emperor and queen, and there is no mention of his desire to be the commander of this attack on Tubo.
Once he mentions it, it's likely that the meal will turn sour.
The temple has the final say, this is a family, and the two saints like this atmosphere very much, and feel that Wei Xi is very sensible.

With her horse to pick her up, the princess can naturally leave the palace.
The colt surprises her!
A beautifully crafted, fully sealed luxury four-wheeled carriage, inlaid with gold leaf and silver bars on the outside, and glass lamps from the West!
"Come, sit together!" Wei Xi took her hand, and the two of them boarded the carriage.
The leather sofa is installed inside, and it is very comfortable to sit on.
When the carriage started, Princess Taiping immediately felt that the vibration of the vehicle was very small, and she felt unusually good.
You know, the ancient carriage is basically rigidly connected, in order to prevent shock, with hemp or cloth shock absorption, the effect is better than nothing, the subversion of the road to the passengers according to the order, you also think about the road conditions at that time (except for Wei Xi's cement road), when running fast, sitting in the car can even put the teeth out of the mouth.
Today's carriage does feel good to sit!
And it's also very agile and light in turning.
"I now have another factory that specializes in making this kind of luxury carriage!" Wei Xi said triumphantly, and didn't add another sentence: "It's in partnership with your sister in Liangzhou!" β
"Hard bomb!" Princess Taiping learned from Wei Xi and scolded foul language!
This kind of carriage is equipped with a "shock absorbing spring", which is supported by a spring to keep the carriage in a suspended state, which greatly reduces the vibration.
Produced by the steel mill of the Tang family in Liangzhou, the unique alloy spring!
Wei Xi said the principle, the Tang family is responsible for the research and development, the business is unique, there is no competition, others can't imitate it, and even the output of the Tang family is not high, after all, the productivity at that time was backward.
The steering system of the four-wheeled carriage was also first mentioned by Wei Xi and developed by the Tang family, it mainly lies in the middle of the common shaft of the front two wheels has a pivot device connected to the chassis, and the common shaft of the two wheels can rotate at a large angle around the central hub, so that the four-wheeled carriage can turn more conveniently.
Seeing Princess Taiping's annoyed look, Wei Xi told her that the profits belonged to them, Princess Taiping six, Tang Tian four!
"That's pretty much it!" Princess Taiping is not a fan of wealth, so it shows that she is sweet and small, she is the main room!
Princess Taiping was unaware of the importance of the carriage under her seat, and with the shock springs and carriage steering, the carriages with greater capacity and more sturdiness rumbled over the concrete avenues, and the horse-drawn mail wagons and coaches stopped to change horses and continue to travel 300 miles every 24 hours.
The empire will no longer be far away!
β¦β¦
Wei Xi returned to Luoyang, since he and Princess Taiping have indescribable affection, in addition, Wei Xi went to visit the household Shangshu Guo to be lifted, this anxious Shangshu Lord saw Wei Xi coming, and said in high spirits: "You are good to come to the horse, and I am looking for you to be responsible!" β
Wei Xi smiled and said, "Don't look for it, I'll come to the door automatically, isn't it just here to solve your problems!" β
The trouble with this Guo Shangshu is that he is looking for money everywhere, and he is so worried that he is about to become a pulsatilla.
Last year, when we fought against Tibet, we seriously overspent on military spending.
Later, Princess Taiping and Wei Xi got married, and in order to decorate the faΓ§ade, the court tightened the belt of their trousers and spent money like a running price.
I don't have time to take a breath, on the return of Gongren to the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court wants to spend money to settle the Tubo people who have returned to the Shun, this is a small amount of money, and the big head is the military expenditure for attacking Tubo!
As Wei Xi's admirer, he naturally got Wei Xi's reward, and Wei Xi repeatedly warned Guo Shangshu: This year, Tubo will be opposed, and you don't need to go into battle to fight, but the money for the war has to be paid by you!
Lord Shangshu has to prepare in advance, otherwise when he needs to use money, he can't take it out, and Master Shangshu is useless.
So Guo Shangshu raised money everywhere, worried!
Wei Xi knew his situation very well, and came to help him, why Wei Xi was also a small shareholder of the Tang Empire Joint Stock Company, and he had to care about the future of the joint stock company.
Otherwise, if he is really the commander, when he mobilizes the army, there is no money and food, how can he fight?
Don't prepare now, and when the time comes,
"There are a few ways I can think of to solve the financial problem at the moment!"
Guo Zhiju perked up and said, "Please speak!" β
"With the fall of Tibet, we must vigorously develop the trade of the Silk Road in the Western Regions, as well as the Maritime Silk Road, and the trade with the big cannibals must also be vigorously carried out, so that the private business exchanges will increase, and the imperial court will have more taxes." Wei Xi said method one.
"Hmmm! Go on! β
"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the coast of the land, the prince is not the king's minister, the ownership of the land only belongs to the emperor, it is easy for the court to do things, and the household department can set up a gold armed police force, oh, it is a precious metal search force, specializing in gold and silver exploration, and finding gold, silver, and copper mines for development."
Wei Xi warned: "Doing and not doing are the same thing, gold will not fall from the sky, you may not find gold if you do it, and you will definitely not find gold if you don't do it!" β
Listening to his words, Guo Zhiju nodded frequently, but he said with a little disappointment: "What you said is a good way, but it's a pity that the far water can't save the near fire!" β
"You want to save the fire, easy!" Wei Xi has lost his Webster's Hu again, and Guo Zhiju is also familiar with him and knows a thing or two.
He hurriedly asked, "Will the plan be released?" β
"National debt!" (To be continued.) )
