Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Handsome Valkyrie
Zhao Po returned to the small desk in the store, took out the account books of Zhiyuefang in previous years, and had a good understanding of the previous suppliers and supply prices.
Then there was Song Jue who sent it, the price of the goods around Zhiyuefang and the hot-selling styles of other clothing stores he opened.
In fact, the people of this dynasty are not overly conservative in dress, but have some Tang Dynasty style.
Some elements of modern clothing may also be used here.
Zhao Po listed the available elements he thought of on a piece of paper.
I'm not an expert and don't dare to meddle more, but it would be nice if these elements could help the designers a little.
Before you know it, the night is falling, and the Weaving Moon Workshop is about to close.
Zhao Po gave a detailed introduction to the design direction and business strategy of the Weaving Moon Workshop before leaving work, and finally announced that the salaries of the embroiderers and small girls of the Weaving Moon Workshop would rise, which made everyone excited and happy.
"Shopkeeper, you're too talented. We will definitely be able to do even bigger in the future! ”
"Yes, yes, after listening to what the shopkeeper said, I can't help but want to buy clothes."
"I just made more money and used it to buy clothes."
“……”
Everyone's chatter suddenly stopped.
Zhao Po turned his head suspiciously and saw the Song family's carriage parked at the gate of Zhiyue Fang.
Everyone's eyes looked at Zhao Po in unison, with a meaningful smile on the corner of their mouths.
A bold embroidery lady asked knowingly: "Shopkeeper, who is the Song family's carriage coming to pick up?" ”
In the midst of laughter, Zhao Po glared at them lightly and said angrily, "Be careful that I deduct your wages." ”
"Spare us, Grandma!"
The crowd roared.
Zhao Po got into the carriage with a slightly red face.
Song Jue handed over a packet of small mung bean cake and a cup of jasmine tea.
Zhao Po took a big sip of tea and asked as naturally as possible, "Where are you going next?" ”
"Send you home, and then go to the Celestial Princess's Mansion."
"Celestial Princess's Mansion?"
"Yes. I've thought about what you said before. The Recruit Administration will recruit female soldiers, and I will try to enact other laws and regulations in the future, so that women can also have the opportunity to study and become officials. ”
"Then I'll go with you. One of your men suddenly ran over and said that he wanted Princess Celestia to help you promulgate the code, and she was afraid that she would not believe you. ”
Song Jue nodded: "Yes." Then he took out a thick book from under his seat and handed it to Zhao Po: "The information about the princess is here." It takes about half an hour from the Weaving Moon Workshop to the Princess's Mansion, and if you can't finish it, you don't have to force it. ”
"You're underestimating my memory. It's still half an hour before the sky gets completely dark. Zhao Po shook the book playfully, "I can write down all of this." ”
After speaking, Zhao Po opened the book, suddenly stunned, realized something, looked up and asked, "Do you always have this book in the car or ......?"
Song Jue showed a dark-bellied smile.
Zhao Po suddenly understood.
Co-author: Is he here to catch himself working overtime as a coolie?
Zhao Po turned his attention to the content of the book with a black line on his face.
The eldest princess, Hua Ying, was born in the second year of Yuanhe.
When Hua Ying was thirteen years old, the Dayan tribe in northern Xinjiang began to frequently harass the Dayu border.
At first, Emperor Dayu did not take it seriously, and sent gold and silver cloth to the Dayan tribe several times, hoping that they would keep to themselves.
Unbeknownst to him, the Great Yan tribe became more and more arrogant, and in the autumn of the seventeenth year of Yuan He, he raised troops to invade the northern border of Dayu.
Beiyu was not a rich place, and the imperial court did not attach importance to it, and did not send heavy troops.
Dayan was aggressive, and in less than two weeks, he took the seven major states of Beiyu.
The Great Yu State has always emphasized literature over military force, and for a time there was no one in the DPRK who could go to war.
The emperor sent three envoys to sue for peace with Dayan, promising a large amount of gold and silver, but the three envoys were beheaded in public by the leaders of Northern Yan, and then sent people to throw the three heads back to Dayu.
The people of Dayu are panicking day by day, and the court of Dayu is helpless, anxious like ants on a hot pot.
At this time, Hua Ying, who was only fifteen years old, took the initiative to ask Ying to suppress the thieves in northern Xinjiang.
In line with the concept of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, the emperor approved it.
Hua Ying led 30,000 iron horsemen to attack Dayu's camp at night and burn the glacier and silver mountain.
The Yan soldiers were lighting bonfires, singing and dancing, celebrating their victory, and were caught off guard by the Hua Ying soldiers.
In the chaos, Hua Ying dressed in red and single-handedly beheaded the leader of Da Yu under the horse.
Then, in less than a month, Hua Ying recovered the lost territory, stabilized all parties, and signed a peace agreement with Dayan.
And Huaying's title of "Female God of War" is also spreading in Dayu.
- Of course, in Dayan, Hua Ying's title is "Red Death" - the kind that can be used to scare children.
Since then, Hua Ying has begun to dominate the northern frontier. Thanks to this "Red Death", the border has been stable for three years.
Not long ago, Hua Ying returned to Huadu, as for the reason, no one knows yet.
The things recorded in the book given by Song Jue are very complete.
From Hua Ying's birthday, her cronies, to her favorite food, everything is available.
Zhao Po was born with an excellent memory, and quickly glanced at these things, then closed his eyes and began to think about how to convince such a big princess.
The carriage finally stopped.
Song Jue helped Zhao Po out of the car, and the guards in front of the eldest princess's mansion came to pick up the guests: "Song Gongzi, Miss Zhao." Princess Celestia will go to the side hall in front of you. ”
Zhao Po couldn't help but glance at Song Jue.
It turned out that he knew he would come with him when he handed over the prayer note before.
Hua Ying is worthy of being the goddess of war, and the residence is very different from other exquisite princess mansions, and she takes a solemn and magnificent path.
There were not many servants in the house, most of them were armed guards.
Song Jue and Zhao Po were taken to the side hall to wait.
After a while, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door.
Zhao Po turned his head to look, and the one who pushed open the door was a bronzed-complexed woman.
Hua Ying's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, her knife-like face is rough and three-dimensional, and her delicate nose adds a bit of indisputability.
She was dressed in a crimson robe, and she looked particularly resolute and calm after many years of military life in the cold northern Xinjiang.
As a straight daughter, Zhao Po had to admit that when she saw Hua Ying...... It's a little exciting.
Hua Ying bowed her hand: "Song Gongzi, Miss Zhao, please take a seat." ”
The two returned the salute and sat down.
Song Jue said: "I heard that the eldest princess's residence is extraordinary, and when I see it today, it is really dignified and solemn, and it is extraordinary. ”
Hua Ying smiled slightly: "I don't know what happened to the two of you?" ”
Song Jue replied: "The eldest princess has heard of the new military policy? ”
"The new military policy is closely related to me, so I have naturally heard of it."
"The new military policy is very different from the military system in the past, in terms of military service, military salaries, food and grass, and army deployment, but there is only one thing, which has not changed."
Hua Ying frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Where?" ”
"The New Soldier Policy does not recruit female soldiers."
Hua Ying's body leaned back slightly: "Women don't have an advantage in the army. There are very few women in the world who are willing to join the army and can join the army, and it is natural that the master of the Baili Pavilion did not consider it. ”
"The lord of Baili Pavilion has worked hard for the new soldiers, and Da Yu has no precedent for recruiting female soldiers, so it is not surprising that he did not expect it. It's just that the eldest princess has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, so she hasn't thought about it, right? ”
Hua Ying looked at Song Jue calmly: "What do you want to do?" ”
Song Jue avoided answering: "The eldest princess thinks that there should be female soldiers in the army?" ”
"Female soldiers are a little more difficult to train than male soldiers, but they can do wonders when they are well directed. If Song Sizheng has a calculation in his heart, it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
"Not only do women face more difficulties than men on the battlefield, but they also face countless problems outside of the battlefield."
Hua Ying's eyes dimmed slightly: "Indeed." ”
"Therefore, in order to train female soldiers, it is necessary not only to exert efforts in the new military policy, but also to revise other laws at the same time. Finally, and perhaps the hardest, is changing the expectations of women. ”
Hua Ying's gaze crossed Song Jue and fell on Zhao Po. She asked with great interest: "I have heard that Miss Zhao is beautiful and unparalleled, and she has the posture of captivating the country and the city. I originally thought it was a lot of rhetoric, but when I see it today, it lives up to its name. Miss Zhao, what do you think about the new military policy? ”
