Chapter 5: The Wedding Night

A few days later, Wei Guogong's reply arrived urgently, and a large amount of silver taels was also sent for repairing the palace.

With this money, Zhu Gui and Xu Yingxu immediately ordered people to start repairing the palace.

Because of the abundant funds, the construction of the palace was greatly accelerated.

Outside Tianfu City, Xu Miaoqing sat in a bumpy carriage in a wedding dress, indignant in her heart.

Originally, the princess was supposed to go to the fief together after holding a wedding with the vassal king in the capital, but she could only sneak out of the city amid the ridicule of the people in the city.

Thinking of her sister Xu Miaoyun's grand wedding with King Yan in the capital, Xu Miaoqing was angry, and it was really embarrassing to have Zhu Gui such a demon king in the world.

A few days later, Xu Miaoqing's carriage arrived.

Zhu Gui was dressed in a wedding dress and led Xu Yingxu and others to stand at the entrance of the city early to greet them, and the people in the city also crowded to watch the excitement.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, and Zhu Gui knocked on the window of the car, stretching out his hand to help the princess get out of the car.

Who knew that Xu Miaoqing opened the curtain slightly, snorted coldly, ignored Zhu Gui's hand, and jumped out of the car by himself.

Zhu Gui touched his nose, a little embarrassed.

But he followed Xu Miaoqing into the palace unhurriedly.

On the other hand, Xu Yingxu's face was a little stiff.

Fortunately, Xu Miaoqing didn't make any moths next, took the maid, symbolically bowed to Zhu Gui and got up and went back to the house.

Zhu Gui raised a glass and drank with officials from all over Yunzhou.

When the banquet dispersed, Zhu Gui was already dizzy, and he retreated left and right to the main room.

As soon as he approached the house, he heard a burst of voices in the room.

Xu Miaoqing's voice was tactful and clear, as clear as a stream in the forest, but the words she spit out made Zhu Gui sober up instantly.

"Miss, why hasn't the prince come yet?" Xu Miaoqing's personal maid Ah Zhu is her crown.

"The first gentleman in the capital, what else can he do besides drinking." Xu Miaoqing rolled her eyes.

"It's still my sister's life, married to the heroic and capable King Yan, who is like Miss Ben who is engaged and ridiculed, this is all thanks to that straw bag!" Xu Miaoqing was full of resentment.

"Hahaha, it's really thanks to this king." Zhu Gui laughed and pushed the door in.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Xu Miaoqing, who was sitting on the collapse and her hijab had long been missing, and her eyes couldn't help flashing a touch of amazement.

Princess Yan's beauty is well known, but I didn't expect her sister to be even better.

Dark clouds and hair, apricot face and peach cheeks, eyebrows like spring mountains and pale eyes, eyes like autumn waves.

Breast augmentation and slim waist, buttocks and legs, better than a begonia drunk sun, at this moment the candle flame flickering even more Xu Miaoqing's beautiful and beautiful people dare not look at it directly.

"Lord Wang!" The maid Ah Zhu's face was pale, and she hurriedly bowed.

Zhu Gui waved his hand, and Ah Zhu walked out of the door with a sigh of relief.

Her young lady is dissatisfied with the prince, and she can still complain a few words, but if she is a lowly person, she will be killed if she chews the root of her tongue.

Seeing that the maid had already closed the door, Zhu Gui looked at the delicate-looking girl in front of him, and said lightly: "If the princess really likes the fourth brother, this king can ask the emperor to cancel this marriage." ”

Xu Miaoqing's face was a little embarrassed when she said bad things behind her back and was bumped into, but how could she easily admit her mistake with a strong personality.

Don't turn your head and snort coldly, "It's worthy of being the acting king, and it's easy to eavesdrop on such villains in the corner." ”

This straw bag is really ugly and tight, she has visited the church and canceled the marriage, how will the world think of her?

"The princess's broken gong voice can be heard in the whole palace, and it is difficult for this king to hear it if he doesn't want to." Zhu Gui curled the corners of his mouth and said.

No wonder in history, Xu Miaoqing has a face that has fallen into the country, but he is still not treated by the acting king, who can stand this temperament.

Xu Miaoqing was so angry that Zhu Gui was speechless, so she could only turn around and snort coldly with a cold face.

Zhu Gui shook his head and smiled, this woman is like eating a powder keg, she can't afford to hide if she can't be provoked.

Although the first night of marriage must be spent at the princess's place, but seeing Xu Miaoqing like this, I am afraid that she will not be able to go to bed tonight, so Zhu Gui simply slept on the ground for one night.

Thinking like this, Zhu Gui walked towards Xu Miaoqing.

Sensing that the man was approaching him, Xu Miaoqing's delicate body tightened, and her beautiful eyes slowly closed.

Although she has no feelings for the young man, she and him are already husband and wife at this time, and he has no reason to refuse if he wants to do that kind of thing on a candle night in the cave room.

But she waited for a long time, but she didn't hear anything.

When I looked back, I found that Zhu Gui had already laid a bunk and fell asleep.

She couldn't help but widen her eyes, and she felt a little inexplicably lost in her heart.

Why did you take the initiative to sleep on the ground before you spoke, Miss Ben was so fragrant that she didn't even look at it!

Tonight is a candle night in the cave room! Is Miss Ben so unbearable!

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, Xu Miaoqing puffed out her cheeks and scolded Zhu Gui hundreds of times in her heart.

The next morning, Zhu Gui woke up and saw the ugly girl sleeping on the bed, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching slightly.

After a brief wash, he ran to the warehouse.

During the period of time he came to Yunzhou, he was not idle, and used the system to make a large amount of refined salt.

When he gave the order, the refined salt began to flow into the market.

In ancient times, the transportation was inconvenient and the transportation conditions were limited, so the price of salt in different periods and regions of the Ming Dynasty was different.

When salt is the most expensive, it is about 600 wen per catty, and it reaches 150 wen at the lowest.

Needless to say, the price of salt is extremely high in any region.

Zhu Gui's first batch of products this time is refined salt and ordinary salt.

Ordinary salt is still sold at the market price of 200 wen a catty, mainly for the general public.

The price of refined salt is about 3,000 wen a catty, which is aimed at powerful landlords.

As soon as it entered the market, refined salt attracted everyone's attention.

Although ordinary people can't afford it, dignitaries and nobles rush to buy it.

Not just because of the good taste of refined salt, but because it has become a symbol of status.

For a time, refined salt soon spread widely in the Yunzhou area.

For half a month, except for the wedding night, Zhu Gui never stayed in Xu Miaoqing's room again.

On this day, Xu Miaoqing picked up the refined salt in the bag and grinded it carefully.

She boasted that she had been pampered since she was a child, but she had never seen such a white and immaculate grain of salt.

"This is actually made of that straw bale." Xu Miaoqing's beautiful eyes were a little strange, and she murmured.

"Yes, the refined salt made by the prince has benefited the people, and everyone is thanking the prince for his good policy!" The maid Azhu mentioned Zhu Gui and praised it again and again.

The news that the acting king had settled in the feudal territory spread throughout the fiefdom, and at the same time, the news that the salt dealers under Zhu Gui were selling salt and planting sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn this year.

Potatoes were introduced to China by Europeans at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and were not widely cultivated until the Qianlong period due to their small quantity and lack of good cultivation methods.

Sweet potatoes and corn were introduced into the country in the Wanli and Apocalypse years, and their characteristics of large yield, easy storage and hunger were respected by the people.

However, the amount of sweet potato potatoes and corn exchanged in the system is limited, and it is not enough to eat it, so it is best to popularize and plant it as seeds.

By the time the disaster strikes, the first crops in Yunzhou are ripe enough to cope with the disaster and even accept displaced people from the surrounding areas.

At that time, the news will definitely reach the imperial court, and it will definitely attract Zhu Yuanzhang's attention, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a peasant, will definitely promote it in a big way.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gui's heart was surging, and he felt that the future of shooting and making artillery was bright.
