Xie Mulin suddenly looked at the Wen clan, and then turned to the Song clan, with a stunned look on his face.

Cement, there is still a time for taboos? Who should she talk to?

Song smiled slightly: "It may have been a taboo before, but now it's no big deal." Have you forgotten? The first emperor was transferred to the palace from the Yanwang Mansion. ”

The first emperor, Emperor Tianchang, was originally the son of Yan Wangfu, and his father was actually the prince who went to Yan Wangfu from the royal family. Just because the princes of Emperor Chengde died one after another in the battle for succession, there was no son to inherit the unification, and he was unwilling to cheapen the brother who had fought with him for the throne, so he could only return the only son of the younger brother who had passed out and be his heir, so it also caused the first marriage of the royal family.

Emperor Tianchang has been the son of the Yan Mansion for more than 20 years, and if the Yan Mansion has any secret formula, it is impossible for him not to know it. It is not surprising that he entered the court as the new monarch and wanted to use these recipes for his own benefit. In this way, the secrets that were originally held by the Yan Wangfu will be owned by the royal family, and it can be regarded as a complete return to Zhao in disguise, right?

Wen listened to Song's answer, and his face was happy: "In this way, it doesn't hurt that this cement recipe is used by the people?" ”

Xie Mulin felt that something was wrong: "If these recipes are really no longer taboo, then why did the first emperor succeed the royal family for many years, and now the saint has been in the court for more than ten or twenty years, but he still doesn't see a lot of materials such as cement used by the people, and there are not many things like soap?" I've only seen glass as a common object. ”

Wen Shi was stunned, and his expression immediately became worried again.

Song smiled and said: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs now has a workshop that produces glass and wine, and the noble families and wealthy families of this dynasty mostly use glass to make doors and windows and makeup mirrors, so you are more common." As for wine, it's everyone's preference, and I don't know how you're in Jinling City, but it's still quite popular in the north. As for the soap...... I really don't know. Now, when he was a prince in the past, he had this thing in his palace, and it was still a made-in-one thing. My father also took a few pieces home, all of which were gifts from the last year's festival. ”

Therefore, Wen and Xie Mulin can't see things like soap and wine, and it is very likely that Cao's dislike it. In the past, they lived in a rather isolated environment, and it is possible that they did not know enough about the outside world. Xie Mulin guessed that the eldest sister Xie Yinghui was very likely to have something like soap made inside.

Song said to Wen's mother and daughter: "In the last years of the first emperor, I returned to my hometown in Huyin with my late husband to teach. I don't know much about things in Beijing, so I can only talk about them by hearsay. But I remember that Yang Yiquan's uncle was an official in Yangzhou, and one year he sent something home in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there was a set of glass wine vessels in it. It's a pity that it's too thin and fragile, and the following year to worship the ancestors, a junior of the Yang family accidentally broke this set of wine vessels, causing a turmoil, and it also affected Yang Yiquan. As a result, Yang Yiquan moved into the academy with Mei Jun and his two children, and he didn't return to Yang's house for almost three months. Later, I asked Mei Jun to persuade him, and he took his wife and children back to greet his elders when he was in Laba. ”

In other words, the Ministry of Internal Affairs actually produces glassware and sells it to the outside world. However, considering that the glass making method handed down from the Yanwang Mansion seems to have many deficiencies compared to the Yongle Dynasty, the quality of the things made has also declined. How can such glassware be sold in large quantities on the market?

It's good to make windows and mirrors.

However, whether it is glass, soap, or wine, it is considered a luxury, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs sells it for money, and the people have nothing to say. Xie Mulin only cares about the cement formula, is it still taboo by the royal family? After all, everything that the Song family experienced in Beiping City when he was a child was not a few decades ago, calculating the time, it was almost the time when the first emperor was passed over, right?

Song clearly told her that her father was admitted to the Jinshi examination, and then took his family to settle down in the capital, which was indeed before and after the first emperor was succeeded. The taboo before the first emperor was adopted, after the first emperor was adopted, most of them are no longer taboo. But considering the position of the first emperor, he would not openly announce such a thing. He is the heir of the prince who passed from the royal family to the Yanwang Mansion, got the secret formula from the Yanwang Mansion, and brought it back to the royal family, it is a little unpleasant to say, and at that time he was still in the vein of the Yan Wangfu, it is impossible not to take into account the feelings of everyone in the Yanwang Mansion.

Because the royal family often succeeds the prince to the Yan Wangfu as the heir, those former princes who have been deprived of the right of inheritance may not end very well, but there are still many princes who are not the princes who can survive and become branches of the Yan Wangfu. If you can't control these people, you can't really control the power of the Yan Wangfu over the Yan land and the army of the vassal country. The heirs still have a lot to worry about.

Therefore, the first emperor would use the secret recipe of the Yan Wangfu for his own benefit, but he could not publicize the secret recipe to the whole world, which affected the interests of the Yan Wangfu.

After his accession to the throne, the situation was different.

Today's younger brother is the latest heir to be succeeded to the Yan Palace, and he was sent back to the Yan Mansion by the first emperor in the name of the heir of the Emperor, and his status is just like Xie Jinzhi, who was designated by Xie Pu as the second heir. Soon after he entered the Yanwang Mansion, he quickly ushered in a great battle, resisted the Jurchens' southward advance, and defeated the elite of the Jurchen army, making shocking achievements.

At that time, he was still an inconspicuous prince, if it weren't for the royal brothers above who were fighting for the position of prince, they would have been greatly injured, and he had a very powerful sibling to support him, just with a Cao family in charge of the military power in the southwest, he might not be able to sit firmly in the East Palace.

It is precisely because King Yan has made great contributions to the throne and has always been very loyal, so there is a tacit understanding between King Yan and the brothers of King Yan. The Yan Wangfu controlled the border army in the north, but it would not reach out to the land in the south, and Jinshang would not have any suspicions about the Yan Wangfu, and would not deduct military expenses, nor would he stop the Yan King from accumulating military rations and producing ordnance. The craftsmen under the rule of Yan Wangfu who know how to match cement recipes will never ask for it from the imperial court.

Now that Xie Pu is an official in Beiping, as long as he can gain the trust of King Yan, his family can produce a little cement in his hometown in the south, repair the family house, and sell a little cement to his relatives, friends or the township party, what taboo can he commit?

Hearing this, Xie Mulin and Wen's mother and daughter were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Wen couldn't help but chant the Buddha, and said: "King Yan has the grace of knowing our lord, as long as King Yan is loyal to the king, and the lord treats him loyally, then there is nothing to worry about." ”

Song smiled slightly: "How can King Yan be disloyal to Jinshang?" Imakami trusts his brother very much. Because, in the future, he will still succeed a prince to the Yan Wangfu as his heir, so what does he have to worry about? ”
