On this day, the autumn is high and cool, the sky is blue and the clouds are white.

Bai Xiang and Zhu Xiang teased Chen'er Si'er to play, she sat on the side embroidering needlework, and Sister-in-law Qian came over with a basket, twisting her brows and looking at Zhiwan, "Princess Jun, can this wool really be spun into thread?" ”

Zhiwan nodded firmly, "Absolutely." ”

"But how do you spin it?" Sister-in-law Qian was very distressed, she had tried many methods, but it didn't work.

Zhiwan's cheeks flushed, and she was firm in her words, "I don't know the way, but I've seen people use wool to make clothes." ”

Poria said softly, "Like in the Zhao family before, put wool in a rag doll, and don't waste wool, why bother with defense, it's not that you don't have clothes to wear." ”

Zhiwan patted her on the head, "How much wool can the rag doll use, it's shameful to waste, the wool must be used, please invite a few more spinners, who can think of a way to spin wool into thread, I will reward her with a hundred taels!" ”

Poria pouted, and resigned herself to her fate and ordered the spinning lady to come.

Sister-in-law Qian didn't leave, she thought of all the ways she could think of, and when she saw the wool in the embroidery basket late, her eyelids were trembling, "The wool hasn't been washed?" ”

"Still want to wash?" Sister-in-law Qian's eyes widened.

She remembered to spin the wool into threads, that is, to make a pinch of wool very scattered, it was such a small fiber, and finally it was natural to stretch and draw it into a thread!

Ahem, how to pull into small fibers, she doesn't know.

Soon, five or six spinners were invited, all of whom were holding the wool and could not show it, and they lost them to play with them in the evening, which made them distressed.

Sitting on the swing, you don't need to be pushed, just swaying like that, blowing the autumn wind. Experience what it's like.

At the gate of the courtyard, a little maid took a prayer slip and stepped forward and said, "Princess of the county." The eldest girl of the Chengguo Mansion wants to see you. ”

Zhiwan took a look, and a silver ticket floated down from the prayer post. 10,000 taels of silver.

Bai Shao picked up the silver ticket, and Zhiwan took a closer look at the worship post, which wrote Hou Qingling, that is, Hou Qingmiao's sister's illness.

Zhiwan glanced twice, and the little maid waited on the side, and said, "Princess Jun, there are many people who come to the palace to seek medical advice these days. They were all pushed by the manager. ”

The people who came to seek medical treatment didn't know if their brains were broken, and those who were missing arms and legs also came to the princess of the county for treatment, and said that the princess of the county was a miracle doctor and could heal, and the chief manager didn't almost ask the guards to drive people out of the street.

"Go and invite someone in," Zhiwan commanded, and the little maid retreated.

After a cup of tea, the little maid led Hou Qingmiao in, and a girl with a cloak behind her should be her sister with serious hair loss symptoms. Hou Qingling.

The two stepped forward and respectfully saluted Zhiwan, and Hou Qingmiao was generous. Hou Qingling was much more restrained, and even spoke like a mosquito and a fly.

The maid brought a table and chairs in the morning, and also set up a tea cup, and invited them to sit in the evening, first chatting for a while, and then asked about the condition.

Zhiwan looked at Hou Qingling's hair, it was indeed relatively thin, not even a third of her sister's, her daughter's house. Who doesn't want to have long black and shiny hair that dances in the wind. That's what beauty is.

Zhiwan gave her a pulse, and Hou Qingmiao waited on the side. Worriedly asked, "Can it be cured?" ”

Zhiwan didn't speak, Hou Qingling sat there, her hands clasped tightly, looking at her longingly, because she didn't dare to go out to meet people because of her lack of hair.

Zhiwan thought about it, her body was not a big problem, and she would be fine with some medicine, so she said, "The cure can be cured, but you have to apply an injection on the head." ”

Hou Qingling's eyes looked at Zhiwan, Hou Qingmiao's hand was on her shoulder, and she said happily, "I knew you could cure it." ”

Zhiwan smiled, the cure can be cured, but it still has to be adjusted, it will definitely not work today, she wrote a prescription and asked Hou Qingling to catch and condition her body, and come back tomorrow.

The kitchen brought pastries, and the three of them sat there chatting, Hou Qingmiao looked at the spinners several times, and asked curiously, "What are they doing?" ”

Zhiwan saw those spinners tearing the wool apart with their hands, and her forehead trembled, spinning in this way, even if it worked, she didn't plan to use it, it was too wasteful of manpower.

When Hou Qingmiao heard that she wanted to prevent the wool from forming a thread and to spread out a handful of wool, she immediately shook her head, she wouldn't, but Hou Qingling on the side said softly, "Is it okay to use a comb?" I used a comb to comb her hair. ”

It's really a word to wake up the person in the dream, and the eyes of Zhiwan are bright, yes, it's a comb!

But there is something special about this comb, it is a wool brush.

Zhiwan hurriedly called Sister-in-law Qian and told her to think in this direction, with the direction, everyone's enthusiasm was high, and two hours later, the wool thread with the length of the index finger was born.

Sister-in-law Qian said excitedly, "Wool can really be spun into thread, I tried it, and it was quite solid." ”

Zhiwan is also very excited, although it is only as long as the index finger, but this is a good start, you know, in the grassland area, wool is a cumbersome thing, and two copper plates can definitely buy the wool on a sheep.

Needless to say, the profit is well understood.

Zhiwan was happy, although the solution was not thought up by the spinning girls, but one person was rewarded with five taels of silver, and the spinners who were happy were stunned, and slapped their faces again and again, thinking that they were dreaming.

Sister-in-law Qian looked at them with a smile and said, "The princess of the county has always been generous, she is good to you, just work hard in the future, and those who know the spinning lady are all called, such wool thread, the princess of the county wants a lot." ”

Those spinning girls are very happy, they are doing this business, how can they not know a few spinning girls, and then said, "How many spinning girls does the princess of the county want?" ”

"As many as you want!" Knowing that Wanyun said lightly, he turned his head and instructed Bai Shaodao, "Tell someone to go to the Su family's courtyard and call the person in charge of the Su family in Kyoto." ”

After lunch, the head of the Su family hurriedly came, sweating profusely, I don't know what happened to the princess of the county looking for her?

Zhiwan saw that he was still wiping his sweat before entering the door, and the corners of his mouth arced slightly, this is the real business person, and said with a smile, "It's so urgent, let's sit down and have a cup of tea first." ”

Mr. Su was flattered, in Kyoto, he had also seen many dignitaries, and there was no place for him to sit with a small shopkeeper, to put it bluntly. There were no dignitaries and dignitaries to discuss business with him, they were all in charge, and now suddenly the princess of the county saw him. The heart is a little drumming.

Good tea, but you can't taste it. After taking a sip, he said, "I don't know what the princess of the county is looking for, do you need a small flying pigeon to pass the book and call the head of the family or the young family?" ”

Zhiwan smiled and gave Poria a look, and Poria walked over with a tray, and there was an egg yolk thread on the tray. The monk who was in charge of Mr. Su was confused, "This is?" ”

Zhiwan didn't say, but asked rhetorically, "What does Manager Su think of the wool on the sheep?" ”

Manager Su was even more confused, but he still replied truthfully, "Wool is useful for sheep, but it is useless for people, I don't know if the princess of the county is talking about wool?" ”

Poria chuckled, "No, I'm showing you wool." How can such a rope be useless, bamboo can be woven into baskets, let alone ropes. ”

Mr. Su repeatedly said yes. The messy wool was useless, but the rope was very useful, and he didn't expect the wool to be useful, so he really looked away.

Zhiwan drank two sips of tea before saying, "Uncle should have told you that I wanted to do business with the Su family, right?" ”

Manager Su nodded again and again, "The head of the family said that the matter of doing business with the Su family will let the little one listen to the princess of the county." You just have to tell me what to do. The small ones do the same. ”

Zhiwan put down the teacup and said with a smile. "Then open a shop in Kyoto, specializing in collecting wool, although there are not many sheep raisers in Kyoto, but it is not nothing, in addition, set up a caravan of 100 people, to buy back the wool on the grassland, the wool on a sheep, three or four copper plates."

Manager Su opened his eyes, "Three or four copper plates? The wool on the grassland is simply a burden, and it is estimated that two copper plates will be forced into us. ”

Zhiwan hooked her lips and smiled, of course she knew this, "What I want is to sign an agreement with the grassland residents to supply us with as many sheep as wool every year, the more the better, understand?" ”

Manager Su was a little excited, although the grassland is a nomadic people, but such a large amount of business, don't you want to cooperate with the grassland royal family, he is just a small shopkeeper, "If the number is huge, you can only sign an agreement with the grassland royal court, which can only be done with the permission of the imperial court. ”

At this point, Zhiwan didn't expect it, twisted his brows, and said, "The prince of the county will enter the palace every day, let him say no to the emperor?" ”

"Yes, send someone to tell him, and say that I want to buy wool from the grassland royal court."

Because of such an accident, the discussion with Manager Su could only be interrupted, but the shop was still open, and the team was still formed.

Leng Mu first went to the barracks, found that Ye Guiyue was not there, and went straight to the palace.

At that time, in the imperial study, Emperor Wenyuan was at a loss, Da Yue, Nan Shun, and Northern Qi were all three kingdoms, but between these three kingdoms, there were still a few small imperial courts, which were not considered a big threat to Da Yue, but people launched a threat, and they could also make people break one or two ribs.

Zuo Xiang took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, you must be cautious in this matter, although they are not afraid, but now that our forces are contained by the Southern Shun and Northern Qi, they will be negligent in guarding against them, if they really attack our dynasty, I am afraid that the losses will be heavy." ”

The so-called tiger monkey in the mountains is called the king, this is the truth.

You don't have troops, others do, this is a hard injury, and you have to compromise.

The attitude of the people is obvious, they don't want to fight, they want to live a peaceful life, but you are shouting at the door of our house, you can't sleep well, they are not ambitious, as long as they give two mouthfuls of food to eat, how much money people give me, I will give you Dayue to save face, as long as you have more benefits than them, I will be towards you.

To put it bluntly, it is accurate that the benefits given by Dayue are more than those of Southern Shun and Northern Qi, after all, people are not really rare in their troops, and you are rare in Dayue!

Everyone understands the truth that scarcity is expensive.

Da Yue is a country of ceremonies, and it can't mix with those who are on the grassland, in their words, charity.

But no matter how nice it sounds, it was also robbed by someone taking advantage of the fire, and his face was gloomy when he said it, thinking of this, Emperor Wenyuan was on fire, but the grassland tribe of the people, there were many cattle, horses and sheep, the cavalry was powerful, the harvest year, the heart of the war was weak, if it was a year of famine, it would send people to borrow grain, and if it could not be borrowed, it would be the most headache, if the grassland was snatched back, the imperial court was not so rare. If it's a natural disaster*, you have to send food and money, who is willing?

According to the will of the Minister of Civil Affairs and Military Affairs. It is to give some food, some gold and silver. Let them make tea and watch the excitement on the side, and don't mix the rest.

It's said that it is light, but how much is it appropriate to give, it is the tax silver of the common people, and it is given away in vain, Emperor Wenyuan's heart is uncomfortable, at this moment, Emperor Wenyuan does not want to fight Nanshun. I don't want to fight the Northern Qi, I want to wipe out their grassland tribes.

Sitting on the ground and bargaining, I talked about it for two days, but I didn't talk about it.

At this time, the little father-in-law came in and saluted, "Your Majesty, the princess of the county sent someone to send a message to the princess of the county, saying that she wants to cooperate with the grassland royal court. ”

Cooperate? He wants to destroy those barbarians now!

Ye Guiyue raised his eyebrows. "But how do you cooperate?"

The little father-in-law shook his head, he didn't know this, so he went out and called Leng Mu. Leng Mu said, "The princess of the county means to buy wool from the grassland, the more the better, the wool of each sheep, give three copper plates, and there are also mutton, beef, horses, goat's milk and milk." All have to ...... Because the quantity needed is too large, I am afraid that it will be said that it is colluding with the grassland. I specially said hello to the emperor. ”

Ye Guiyue twisted her eyebrows, why did she like the grassland so much. In addition to people on the grassland, there are cattle and sheep, she likes it so much, go back and wait for the war to subside, and attack the grassland and give it to her.

Emperor Wen Yuan's eyes lit up, isn't this the benefit of the grassland, people can't sell their cattle and sheep, and what kind of wool seems to be waste.

Emperor Wen Yuan touched the tip of his nose, "Since the princess of the county intends to buy cattle and sheep, and it happens that the grassland envoys are also there, let them discuss it." ”

can make Zhiwan fancy something, if you don't make money, it's weird, dare to come and rob him, hum, I don't know if my daughter-in-law is amazing!

Those ministers also breathed a sigh of relief, it was good to leave such a troublesome matter to the princess of the county, just thinking about how to send them, their heads hurt, it really hurts.

Gonggong Xu specially went to the pavilion with the will of Emperor Wenyuan, those envoys ate and drank well, and then went to play on the water side again, they were a little happy, Dayue Kyoto is fun, more fun than South Shun and North Qi.

Originally, after these envoys saw the water side, they admired the builders, and when they heard that Gonggong Xu said that they would do business with them at night, they were a little dizzy at that time, fluttering, and someone sent a pillow when they were really sleepy.

Before Gonggong Xu left, a few envoys looked at each other, go, and went to Zhen'an Wangfu for a walk!

Gonggong Xu shook his head helplessly, what is it a barbarian, but he doesn't pay attention to the rules, is there such a day when it's almost dark, go to visit people? !

I have to follow obediently.

Ye Guiyue came back early today, and when he entered the door, he enjoyed the feeling of being served by his daughter-in-law, Zhiwan pulled him to sit down, and couldn't wait to ask, "Did the emperor agree?" ”

Ye Guiyue faked a cough, the emperor can't wait for you to take over this mess, "Do you really want to cooperate with the Prairie Royal Court?" ”

Zhiwan nunned his nose, "This is still fake, naturally it is true, although Su Fu secretly bought cattle and sheep back, but I miscalculated everyone's consumption power, the beef jerky is in short supply at all, and now there are people who secretly slaughter ploughing cattle in order to sell cattle, the further it goes, it is estimated that it will be more serious, and it can only be bought from the grassland in a bright light." ”

The part that is bright is still bright, and the part that is in the dark is still in the dark, and the eggs cannot be put in one basket.

Ye Guiyue thought about it and asked the question that the imperial court was most concerned about, "How much benefit can you give to the grassland, and how much can you earn?" ”

Zhiwan estimated it in his heart, and then said, "The silver sent to the grassland every year should be no less than 200,000 taels, as for how much I can earn, I don't know this, 450,000 taels should not be a problem." ”

Earn, that's pure profit.

As for the cost defect of the purchase, it is sent.

Ye Guiyue nodded, outside, he asked the little maid to come in and said, "The prince of the county, the princess of the county, and the envoy of the grassland are here." ”

Zhiwan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Your work efficiency is good, I thought I would send someone to the grassland to discuss." ”

The corners of Ye Guiyue's mouth hooked up a smile, and Tongzhiwan walked to the main house, where the four envoys were already sitting there drinking tea, followed by strong guards with knives, full of grassland atmosphere.

Seeing Zhiwan and Ye Guiyue coming in, the four envoys all got up and gave Zhiwan a grassland salute, as for a certain county king, he was directly ignored, because of the salute on the water side, not because of his identity.

Zhiwan replied with a salute, and one of the envoys smiled and said, "The princess of the county is talented and intelligent, and the most beautiful building we have ever seen on the water side, which is three points better than the palace. ”

Zhiwan said with a smile, "I can't imagine that friends on the grassland also like to be on the water side, I should think about building a water side in the closest place to the grassland in the Dayue Dynasty, so that friends on the grassland can go to play." ”

The four envoys laughed, "Good idea, the princess of the county has to talk to the point, and we will come at a regular time." ”

Zhiwan also smiled, looked at Ye Guiyue and said, "Xianggong, if we have a chance, let's go to the grassland to play, okay?" ”

Ye Guiyue has some black lines, today I am here to discuss business, why is it built on the water side, and I am going to the grassland as a guest, but for Zhiwan's request, he rarely refuses, nodded and agreed, and several grassland envoys immediately clapped their hands, asking Zhiwan and the strongest wine on the grassland.

But when he said it, he blushed, and their wine was not as good as that of the princess.

After laughing for a while, he got down to business, "I heard that the princess of the county intends to cooperate with the grassland royal court, the more cattle and sheep, the better, and even wool, is it true?" ”

When they heard such news at that time, several people were stunned, there were still people buying wool, are they stupid?

The more the better, she doesn't know how many cattle, sheep and horses there are on the grassland, and the slightly larger ones have thousands of cattle and sheep.

Several envoys felt that they couldn't afford to buy it at night, but Gonggong Xu's words were the reason why they ran fast, that is, within a few days of opening on the water side, they had an income of 1.6 million taels, and they couldn't afford to buy cattle and sheep on your grassland?

If you can't afford it, you can definitely afford it!

The reason why I didn't talk about business first when I entered the door was to calm myself down and not be too impatient, because I couldn't eat hot buns in a hurry.

Seeing that what they said was not slow, but their eyes were wide open, they were even less anxious, so they first drank two sips of tea before saying, "A sheep's wool, three copper plates are not willing to sell?" ”

Don't you want to, I'll sell you both copper plates!

I wanted to say four copper plates, but I was afraid of angering others, so I didn't want it when the time came, so I was a little anxious, and finally said ruthlessly, "Sell, there are countless wools on the grassland, how much does the princess of the county really have?" ”

Zhiwan smiled when she heard it, "There is a lot of wool, but it is not very valuable, I collect 10,000 taels of silver wool, can you have it?" ”

The envoy was dumbfounded, it was the wool of more than three million sheep!

Compared with Da Yue, the grassland is really poor, "We don't know how many sheep there are in the grassland, but we can be sure that how much wool will be sold to the princess of the county, and there is also a cattle and sheep business." ”

Zhiwan thought about it for a while, and said with a smile, "How much is the specific price, let's discuss, I will first set 200,000 taels of cattle and sheep, this time the envoy came to my Dayue, it is to discuss the war, my business, how many benefits, the envoy knows in his heart, but I Dayue is a big country, will not let the envoy return empty-handed, I know that the grassland is most lacking in salt, so I gave the grassland court 30,000 catties of salt, and 500 horses of silk and satin, during the cooperation period, the grassland court is given 10,000 catties of salt every year.
