Chapter 587 - Start a new business
However, when Haruka heard the two women who were closest to her talking like this, she was in a good mood immediately.
No matter what, at least the two of them have always stood by their side and supported themselves at all times. This realization made her feel very gratified.
She smiled and nodded. "Yes! Iwakid has been complaining to me lately, saying he's too bored to be alone. After knowing that I was pregnant again, he was so happy that he kept thinking about the names of his younger siblings on the way over! He thought about it all over the place. ”
"Yes, yes!" The rock boy who jumped out of the carriage immediately nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, "Soon, I will have a brother or sister with the same surname as me, I am so happy!" I will definitely help my mother take care of my younger siblings in the future! ”
Princess Liang and Chunya listened to it, and they all laughed happily.
The women all laughed, and of course King Liang hurriedly grinned and laughed.
The atmosphere was joyful, and Princess Liang and Chunya took Chunzhi's arm on one side and brought her into the backyard.
Since Chunzhi is now a princess, she must have her princess mansion. It's just that she just came here, and the location of the princess's mansion has just been demarcated! When the princess's mansion is completed, it will be at least half a year later, so now she is temporarily living in the Liang Palace.
At this point, Princess Liang and Chunya are happy to see it.
Therefore, long before Chunzhi came over, Princess Liang had already cleaned up the best courtyard in the palace.
"Hey, I really didn't expect that you would still have this opportunity, aunt. At first, when I heard that you were cut off by your father, I was about to die! They're just making trouble and deliberately bullying you! Obviously, you, the title of Mrs. Yipin, were obtained by serving the country, and it was not because of a little woman's appearance and virtue, why did he take away the title because you did not agree with your little uncle to take a concubine? He's getting older and more dizzy! Thinking of what happened to Chunzhi, Princess Liang was still angry.
Chunya's face changed dramatically when she heard this, and she hurriedly made a gesture to silence. "Princess, be quiet! You insulted the emperor so much, if someone hears it and passes it back, what will you do? ”
"I didn't scold wrong!" Princess Liang snorted lightly, "Besides, the sky is high here, and the emperor is far away, and the palace is my place." If I can't even speak freely on my own territory, then what does it mean for me to be the mistress of the palace? ”
Haruka immediately chuckled.
"It seems that you have been doing a good job here in the past few years."
In the years since leaving the capital, the spirit of Princess Liang and King Liang has changed significantly. Especially Princess Liang, she is now energetic and full of confidence, where is she still the same devastated little appearance in the capital?
Princess Liang also fixed her head. "Of course. The reason why the prince and I decided to come to this place in the first place was because we had already discussed everything. And all these years, our efforts have not been in vain! ”
"Well, that's for the best." Seeing that they are doing so well here, Harueda's mood is also very good.
It's just that Princess Liang and Chunya still feel very unhappy for her.
Listening to Chunzhi talk about the Queen Mother helping her get angry, Chunya couldn't help it. "Sister, since that's the case, then why didn't you choke Concubine Shu a few words at that time? And your mother-in-law, you have to make her kneel down to you! Otherwise, you're too cheap for them! ”
"There are still opportunities in the future, so there is no need to rush for a while." Chunzhi didn't care, "Moreover, if I really do that, it will inevitably mean that I am a little villain, which will live up to the Queen Mother's love for me." ”
"Indeed." Chunya nodded hurriedly, "It's still sister, you're thoughtful." ”
Chunzhi smiled again, and she hurriedly pulled Princess Liang and Chunya to talk about the situation here.
Princess Liang and Chunya suddenly began to lament again and again.
"There were several heavy snowfalls in the first month of this year, which caused serious damage to the land in the north, and we are in the northwest, so the situation is slightly better, but it has also been affected somewhat. Although we have almost doubled the area under cotton cultivation this year, we should have a rough estimate of the harvest by 30% more. But at the beginning of the year, there were already people from the Chu family, and these were not enough for the weight they reported! ”
"That's really not going to be easy." Chunzhi also twisted his eyebrows slightly.
"Isn't it?" Princess Liang sighed, "What does it mean to rely on the sky to eat, now I understand it thoroughly." ”
yes, that's where the common people get stuck. When the year is good, the family can still have a full meal together. But once the year is not good, let alone eating, I am afraid that the taxes to the government will not be enough to pay, then it is called miserable!
To this day, Chunzhi still remembers the scene when he was a child when there was a drought in Sanjiang Province, and the people were struggling to make a living.
"However, if the cotton cloth is not enough, we can actually try to prepare more silk." Harukie suddenly blurted out.
"Silk?" Chunya raised her eyebrows, "Sister, I remember what I told you, the climate in the northwest is arid, and the wind and sand are also large, so the quality of the mulberry leaves planted is not very good, so the silkworms raised are also thicker." Every year we have to be carefully selected, and it is easy to select a small half of silk to make silk. The rest of the coarse ones can only be handled simply. Even if you raise more silkworms now, I'm afraid that in the end, there will still not be much more silk in your hands. ”
"Why don't you think of anything other than silk?" Harueda smiled lightly.
Chunya blinked, she didn't quite understand what Chunzhi meant. Princess Liang reacted faster, and her eyes immediately lit up: "Little aunt, have you thought of using those coarse silks as well?" ”
Harueda nodded.
Both women's eyes suddenly began to sparkle.
"What do you think of? Tell us about it! They hurriedly took Haruke's hand again.
Chunzhi didn't talk much nonsense with them, she said directly: "I live in the palace these days, and my mother has also shown me many rare treasures, including the carpet of Persian tribute. Do you know what the carpet is made of? ”
"It's also silk!" Princess Liang hurriedly replied, "It's just that the silkworms over there spit out thicker silk, so they can't weave soft silk, so most of them are made into carpets." ”
As she spoke, she and Chunya glanced at each other, and both nodded.
Chunya also had a smile on her face. "yes, why did I forget that? No matter how thick the silkworm silk here is, it will definitely not be as thick as the Persian one! So, weaving a carpet with these thick silks, the texture must be much better than theirs. And because there is no need for long-distance transportation, this cost price is saved by half. As long as we think of more tricks or something, and then let the Chu family sell it, we don't have to worry about no one wanting it! ”
"And we can find a way to get a few more waves." Harue said again.
This matter was actually something she had been thinking about in the capital before. But because of all the things that happened later, she left the Chai family before she could put her ideas into practice, and was also driven out by Yizhichun, which she had established single-handedly.
Still, that's fine. In the capital, she was pressed by the Qin Wangfu above her, and there were people from the Lin family's Qu family stumbling below, so there was no way to completely relax and exert herself. Now that she is in Liangzhou, Princess Liang and Chunya have full authority to support her, and she has an identity and money, so she can naturally let go of her hands and feet, and do whatever she wants!
Princess Liang and Chunya have been in Liangzhou for many years, and the courage of the two of them has become bigger and bigger. Now listening to Chunzhijiang's plan, although they also felt very risky, they still nodded one after another.
"You can try. Anyway, you can't waste much money by trying it once, so give it a try! ”
So, they hit it off and immediately started taking action.
King Liang and Chunya saw that since Chunzhi came over, Princess Liang and Chunya had completely surrounded her, ignoring them, and their hearts were very sour.
It's just that the three of them are really busy with business. After all, this year's cotton grain harvest in Liangzhou is not high, and King Liang is still counting on expanding the planting scale this year, and then making a big profit, so that the money earned can be invested in the cause of building Liangzhou!
His plans have been prepared, and when everything is ready, he will need to pay for it, and as a result, a natural disaster will come to naught, and all his plans will come to naught. So now, except for muttering a few words quietly with the Chunya man, he didn't dare to squeak anymore.
And just a month after Chunzhi arrived in Liangzhou, there was another burst of cheers in the Liang Wangfu - in this late autumn and early winter, they actually succeeded in raising silkworms!
