Chapter 189: Red Sleeves and Fragrance (31)
"I wanted to spend more time with you, so I asked someone to call me sick." He stroked her hair with pity and sighed lightly, "Daughter-in-law, let's not quarrel in the future, okay?" It's so hurtful, it's hurting the lungs, liver, and heart. ”
Ji Ranjia snorted twice: "Is it me who wants to quarrel?" It's obviously you, I've coaxed you, you still don't go down the steps, and you can't go home all night. If I don't go out today, will you continue to disappear for a few days? ”
Gu Sifan was coughed twice by her, his face was quite uncomfortable, he was usually the one he scolded and couldn't be ashamed, but when he came to his daughter-in-law, didn't he want to be scolded? "In the future, when I get angry, you will hug me and kiss me, I will be unable to resist a few more times, don't you know how much effort I have to make to push you away once, and how much temptation I resist?"
"Hypocritical," she chuckled, "I'm not used to you, you can go wherever you like, I cultivate a relationship with the baby, and when you come back, maybe I'll forget about you." ”
"You, you little conscienceless," he gasped in anger and gnawed helplessly at her forehead. "I'm at home with you today. The emperor has been so angry these days that he can only bury his head in the office, and the emperor has praised me and given me some good things, do you want to get up and take a look? ”
Ji Ranjia nodded again and again, and asked as she got up, "How did you get watermelons and grapes?" Did you copy the Honeysuckle Planting Compendium from a book? What did you do, and what did the emperor reward you? She is a curious baby, and the relationship between the two will be as good as ever, and the problems that have been held back for a long time will finally be vented.
Gu Sifan helped her up, dressed her personally, and half-knelt in front of the window and leaned down to put on her shoes and socks.
He replied with a smile: "There are a lot of tribute fruits from all over the world in the palace, and I bought them from the emperor at a high price in silver." He's wishing I could take all the fruit away.
I have recently sorted out books on agriculture, and I have looked through the books on honeysuckle, so I have copied them out, and I have found a gardener to perfect them.
As for how to be rewarded, it is thanks to the lady. ”
"Me?" Ji Ranjia pointed at herself in disbelief and pouted: "Being angry with me makes you have a great passion for work, yes or no?" ”
"Little fool," he scratched her delicate nose with his index finger, full of doting, the eyebrows, the corners of the lips, and she couldn't help but turn red again, and hugged him.
"Don't be angry with me anymore, you don't know how many tears I secretly cried, and I haven't recovered until now." She rubbed comfortably against his hot chest, squinting and screaming.
"How did I not know? There's no one in the palace, and I'll come back every night, but you don't know. He wrapped his arms around her, and sometimes his feelings were so hot and burning that he felt the urge to take her in his chest. I don't know how to show her to express my joy.
After being emotional for a while, Ji Ranjia continued to urge him to answer his own questions.
Gu Sifan took her to wash, beckoned her to prepare breakfast, and explained patiently and leisurely: "Didn't you ask me how to grow honeysuckle?" This incident has overturned our efforts to increase grain yield per mu in a single direction, and increasing grain yield per mu is a palliative method, but there are still many aspects that can achieve our goal together.
We've been talking about a lot of solutions these days, and the introduction came from you, do you think you don't have a lot of credit? ”
Ji Ranjia's cheeks were slightly red, and she grinned uncomfortably: "It's still a good match, if it's a different person, where will you think so much?" ”
After washing, Ji Ranjia found that today's breakfast was very different, and the sweet and sour taste came to her face, which directly bewitched You Huan's stomach, which had been noisy all morning.
"Yesterday, I asked the imperial doctor to ask for some recipes, they usually cook for the concubines in the palace, and they are very good at these. You try to be unappetizing. ”
He is a mortal in the end, and if he cares about it, he ignores the imperial doctors who are omnipotent about the health of women.
Ji Ranjia finished her breakfast with a heart of awe and worship, I don't know if it was the recipe recipe that happened to her appetite, or if she wanted to eat the same meal as the girls, and at the moment there were slaves and maids waiting, the home was still so delicate and open, and there were no miscellaneous people and things. Everything was peaceful and smooth, the mood was pleasant, and the stomach was very relieved.
After eating, Gu Sifan had the emperor's gifts brought with him the rare goods brought by the visit of some Fanbang, such as a delicate pocket watch inlaid with colored gold, an hourglass with fine blue sand, ink and quills, a dagger with a large and brilliant jewel inlaid on the sheath, some beautiful glass cups, and a wine of bright colors.
"The emperor is not so generous, right?" Ji Ranjia immediately popped out this sentence when she saw it.
"Well, this pocket watch, red wine and cup are rewarded by the emperor, and the others are the gadgets I selected for the emperor for you." He smiled and nodded.
"It's over, the emperor has to raise you as a fat sheep, and slaughter it from time to time." Ji Ranjia's little face was full of worry, she had a way to make money, but she couldn't bear to be remembered by the first person in Huaguo.
Gu Sifan raised his eyebrows, but rubbed her hair vigorously, and said, "Master found that as long as I am with you, my mind is very bright." You're right, instead of letting him stare at me, I'll just take the initiative to take care of the property for him. If he has more money, he will not be the lord of a country and still staring at the gold and silver in the courtier's house so unproductively. ”
Ji Ranjia didn't like to care about national affairs in the past, it was too boring, and it had little to do with her little people. After all, she didn't know much, and she couldn't make it hard, so she didn't add to her troubles. But now it was different, she especially liked to listen to him talk about things, and in his words, everything became extremely vivid and lovely.
She never knew that the emperor, who everyone feared and feared, turned out to be a miser who picked and searched. However, such a humane emperor made her admire, he was a rare enlightened saint, with kindness in his heart and pretending to be the world, and his own small treasury was all for emergencies. But he was decisive again, although he seemed a little ruthless, but he was also helpless. Chop the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows.
She clinged to his arm, her eyes blinking in anticipation.
"Ye just had an idea, and there was no specific implementation plan, how can I tell you?" He reluctantly hugged the person into his arms and sat under the vine together, "The emperor is in a high position, it seems to be noble, but he is a caged bird, a stranded dragon, and many things have to be carried out by our courtiers." Why did you get so many places in the imperial examination this time? He deliberately avoided the children of the family, and wanted to pick some people like me who were poor and had no background.
Be faithful to him, not be the eyeliner of others.
So there are many things that he is ignorant and incompetent. Rao is he guards the country for thousands of miles, so many taxes every year, but when there is a major disaster or war for many years, the court is short of money and food, he can only be in a hurry, and he can't wait to eat bran and save a half of money from between his teeth.
Now that he is short of practical cronies, he can take the opportunity to use his banner to do a career. Open a business from Kyoto to all the countries! ”
Ji Ranjia nodded, she knew that the Four Books and Five Classics were not what he liked, but the imperial examination was the gate of the Fish Leaping Dragon Gate. Becoming an official in the court was the beginning of his talent and benefiting the people.
"The way of management is very knowledgeable," Gu Sifan chuckled and explained to her, he wanted to let the little woman know how smart and capable his man was, and when he saw that others had a high and low comparison, where could he say that others were good against his will.
"We can't do what other people make money, we don't have their access and experience.
has to find another way, what does the emperor have?
Since he took power, he has held the military power in his own hands, and has cultivated many forces such as bright guards, dark guards, and Jinyi guards. Therefore, he does not lack people who contribute and run errands, what he lacks is the clear stream of the lord who is not moved by wealth and power, is not afraid of the powerful, and has a flexible brain, and can do things for him and seek power for the people.
Besides Ye, who else can afford it?
The emperor also does not lack customs clearance certificates, he seeks the interests of the people of the world, let's run a gold and silver shop, gambling house, horse farm, and restaurant for him, which is not realistic at all, and the money is slow.
It's better to make it bigger at the beginning, we can completely flood the palace, and the emperor can only sell the objects that are paid tribute from all over the country to Fanbang while feeling distressed, such as all kinds of official porcelain, tea, cloth, medicine, and paper. By the way, in this way, we can print the picture book into a book, sell it wherever we go, and we are not afraid of lowering the price because of others' prevention.
And so on, some of the books in the palace can be sorted out and sold in various places.
As long as there is something in the palace that needs labor, it can be exchanged. Sell at a high price, and then buy Fanbang's beautiful beads, colored glass, fur, pocket watches and other delicate objects at a low price, which have always been strange goods in our country, and can be multiplied several times.
If we can learn some skills from Fanbang, then Huaguo will be the emperor's family, who won't buy it? ”
Gu Sifan didn't think about it carefully, but said in general terms, but the more he said, the more his mind became broader, "In addition to opening caravans on land, we can also open a few on the waterway." Only the emperor has the strength to make things bigger.
I have heard that on the other side of the sea there are fire canisters, which can be loaded with projectiles to hit living creatures within a hundred feet at will, much stronger than our bows and crossbows, and there are extremely powerful earth cannons. If we can learn to make these two things, do we still need to be afraid of other countries attacking?
In addition, crops are also grown in other places, and we can sell them cheap items at a high price, and then buy grain at a low price to store them, and some medicinal herbs in case of emergency! ”
Speaking of this, his eyes lit up, this is the fastest way to buffer the upcoming series of natural and man-made disasters.
At this time, he went directly to the study with her, and began to write down the things in his mind in detail little by little, looking at the full dozen pieces of paper, he was stunned for a while before he smiled and hugged Ji Ranjia who accompanied him: "Daughter-in-law, after the fourth prince succeeds to the throne and sits firmly, I will resign and take you and the baby to take a look at the mountains and rivers we are guarding, okay?" ”
