Chapter 553: What's This Ugly Thing?

Li Dabao rubbed his eyes, and when he woke up, he saw himself on his father's back.

He was moved.

"Dad, put me down! I woke up and was able to find it myself. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, and his laughter was hearty.

"My family's big treasures have grown so big, I won't be able to carry them in a few years!"

Li Dabao jumped off his father's back and held his father's hand affectionately.

"Dad, you're still young! Even if you are old in the future, you will be replaced by a big treasure carrying you. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Okay, it deserves to be a good son of my family's filial piety!" ”

Looking at the backs of Li Yuanqing and Li Dabao, father and son, thinking of leaving, Gu Shao's eyes were full of envy.

Liu Pan'er couldn't sleep well all night, got up early, and was not in good spirits.

At this time, hearing a magpie calling on the branch, Liu Paner looked over.

Sister Mao'er looked at it carefully, "Madam, there are magpie branches calling in the morning, which proves that there is a happy event in our family." ”

Liu Pan'er pursed her lips and smiled, "Then I'll wait for the good news." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Paner saw Li Yuanqing coming back from outside with Li Dabao, "Husband, have you won a big victory?" ”

Li Dabao hurriedly said, "Mother, my father will win a big victory." Whether it is those smugglers in Jinling City or the rebellion of King Chen, they have all been controlled. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Yes, King Chen and his private soldiers have been fully controlled, and we have won a big victory this time." ”

Liu Paner smiled, this is really good news.

"Cat, go to the kitchen and let people hurry up and get water, the old man and the young master want to bathe. By the way, let them make breakfast as soon as possible, and the old and young masters will wait to eat. ”

Sister Mao'er replied crisply, "Yes, madam." ”

This is a great joy, the master has made meritorious contributions, and he will be able to be promoted and make a fortune in the future.

The ninth princess was also worried, and when she heard that Li Yuanqing was back, she asked the maid to come over to inquire, and she was relieved to learn that everything was going well.

However, when she learned that Uncle Chen Wang actually made a dragon robe, she was even more speechless.

No matter how well the dragon robe is done, it can only be worn for yourself, what's the point?

The ninth princess packed up and came over to have breakfast with Liu Pan'er, and inquired about it by the way.

She was particularly curious.

The emperor's confidant's big problem was solved in less than half a year.

This General Li is really the lucky general of the emperor's brother.

Liu Paner wiped Li Yuanqing's back and helped wash up.

Li Yuanqing changed into clean clothes and was refreshed.

In the dining room, the children arrived.

The Ninth Princess couldn't wait to inquire, "Lord Li, tell us quickly, what have been seized?" I've heard about hundreds of smuggling ships? ”

"Dad, are there a lot of treasures?"

"What to do with these smuggling ships? Are all the goods on it going to be confiscated? ”

……

All the questions are also curious about Liu Paner.

After Li Yuanqing ate seven points full, he said slowly: "Let me tell you one by one, don't worry." ”

"This time, there are a total of 435 ships, and yesterday in order to paralyze the Japanese people, I released five of them, and the goods on the remaining 430 ships were all confiscated and filled into the state treasury."

"Because these goods are smuggled and involve the embargoed weapons, these are expressly prohibited by the imperial court, and even the ship will be confiscated once discovered."

"There were mainly tea, porcelain, silk paper, and some fine gold and silver products."

"These Japanese people are terrible, not only secretly buying weapons, but also hiring a lot of experienced blacksmiths and craftsmen to go to the Japanese country. Some people were unwilling, so they were kidnapped and put on ships and transported to the Japanese country. ”

At this time, the ninth princess slapped the table and scolded angrily, angry.

"The heart of the Wa Kingdom can be punished, after getting these craftsmen over, they can also control the good iron-smelting technology, and even make sharp weapons."

Those silver or goods, in the eyes of the ninth princess, are just some silver and things, but the role of those craftsmen has a greater impact on Da Zhou.

Hearing the words of the ninth princess, several children finally understood.

Liu Pan'er's eyes showed a fierce look, "The Japanese people are also very powerful, not only eggs, but also old hens." With these craftsmen, don't buy weapons for Da Zhou in the future. ”

"After all, it is very risky to buy Da Zhou's ironware, just like this time. I finally got ready, and finally it was served by our big Monday. ”

Li Dabao spun the beads, then ran to the house, got the clock and put it on the table.

"Dad, mother, this is a clock that I have figured out to show the time."

"As long as you turn the spring at the back, the needle on it can move. Look at the time of day......"

Li Dabao shows his work.

Liu Pan'er was very shocked, "Dabao, you are so powerful, you made it so quickly!" ”

Li Dabao was quite proud, "It's all taught by my mother well." ”

The Ninth Princess, who was not far away, looked up and down, "Can such an ugly thing really show the time?" ”

Ugly stuff?

As soon as he heard these three words, Li Dabao was immediately unhappy.

"Aunt Princess, this is what I have worked so hard to make, how can you say ugly?"

The Ninth Princess raised her eyebrows, "This thing is already ugly, even if she can show the time, I think it's ugly." ”

"It's ugly to have such a boxy box, and it's still ordinary wood. There are no ornaments such as gold and silver inlaid on it, and there are no pearls and jade. ”

"Although I don't want to discourage you, I also want to tell the truth, I don't want anything like this, give it to me."

Li Dabao scratched his head and lost his confidence, "Is it really ugly?" ”

Liu Pan'er was distressed, "This thing works very well, and it's good that Dabao can make it." ”

"As for appearance, since it is ugly, we can beautify it! Leave this to me, and I'll draw you a few pictures. ”

"When the time comes, let the craftsman improve it, according to what your princess aunt said, inlaid with gold, silver and jade, etc., won't it become beautiful?"

The Ninth Princess nodded again and again, "Of course, it's something beautiful, and it can also indicate the time." Even if it's expensive, I'll buy it. ”

"People like Bengong who are not bad for money, not only in Jinling, but also in the capital!"

Liu Paner also took the opportunity to encourage Li Dabao, "In short, this is a clock with a lot of effect. ”

"We're brainstorming to get this thing right. Didn't your father save a lot of blacksmiths from the ship? ”

"Just give them money, and they will be willing to work under you. Dabao, support you for your mother. ”

"No matter how much money you spend, it will be given to you. Also, I have a small suggestion. ”

"Everything can get smaller and smaller when it's mature. Wait until you make this thing the size of a palm, the size of a palm that can fit in the palm of your hand, and people can carry it around. ”

"People can tell the time anytime and anywhere, even if it's cloudy, they can know the exact time."

The Ninth Princess's eyes lit up, "This is indeed a good business, count me in." I also pay for the upfront investment. ”

"Master Li, all those blacksmiths will stay and make clocks for us."
