Chapter 317: Good for the country and the people
Li Yong hummed a little song and returned to the Xishan Courtyard, and Princess Changle smiled in surprise.
"Lang Jun is in such a good mood? Could it be that you found the white stacked flowers again? ”
"Those who know me, mother! The eldest lady of the Taiyuan Wang family actually planted twenty-two white stacked flowers. ”
Li Yong smiled happily, twenty-two white stacked flowers? The whole new house suddenly fell silent, Yingluo, Cuimo and the others were stunned, isn't twenty-two white stacked flowers two hundred and twenty thousand? In other words, you want to give 220,000 yuan to the Taiyuan royal family? Yingluo and Cuimo and other maids and maids suddenly felt distressed to the point of suffocation, because they had already felt that they were Li Yong's people from the bottom of their hearts, although they might just be concubines, not to mention Yingluo and Cuimo and others, even Changle, who was the most noble princess of the Tang Dynasty, felt very distressed, 220,000 yuan, even if it was not a small amount for the palace, they bought twenty-two white stacked flowers? But seeing Li Yong's happy face, Li Lizhi really couldn't say anything else, and said with a smile.
"Really? That's good. The eldest lady of the Taiyuan Wang family, isn't that Wang Jiu'er? ”
Although she said this, Li Lizhen had already made up her mind in her heart, she must learn to take care of Li Yong's industries, although Wu Cao is here, but as the wife of the main mother, these things still have to be done by herself, when she thinks of 220,000 yuan, she will make up for the 220,000 yuan as soon as possible, in fact, she can't blame her, because Li Yong's industry has always been taken care of by Zheng Liwan and Wu Cao, Li Lizhen has never managed Li Yong's big family business, I don't know, this money is a drop in the bucket for Li Yong, and it is also very normal.
"Yes, it's Wang Jiu'er, I originally planned to buy it for 220,000 yuan, but she said that the white stacked flower seeds that I got by chance were not worth anything, so she had to give them to me."
Li Yong replied with a smile, Yingluo and Cuimo and the others were simply relieved when they heard this, which means that there is no need to spend 220,000 yuan? That's it, where is the white stacked flower worth hundreds of thousands? In their opinion, they don't know where the wildflowers and weeds are, but the eldest lady of the Wang family is quite conscientious, and she doesn't want 220,000 yuan, but she gives it away for nothing? Li Lizhi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter, and she said with a smile.
"How's that going to work? Lang Jun is a thousand dollars to buy horses, if it is given away for nothing, then it will not play the role of a thousand dollars to buy horses? ”
Li Yong also smiled.
"There's no need to buy a horse with a thousand dollars, Miss Wang actually knows where white stacked flowers are abundant, so I have canceled the reward, this person owes a lot of favor."
This favor is indeed owed, Li Li asked with a pointed smile.
"This Miss Wang is really a strange woman with affection and righteousness, how does Lang Jun want to repay her favor?"
"I gave her a promise, whatever she wanted, I said yes, I thought she would ask for the secret recipe in my hand, but she said she hadn't thought it through, and she would talk about it when she did."
Li Yong explained that every secret recipe is priceless, does this need to be thought about for a long time? What makes Li Li even more puzzled is what is the use of white stacked flowers? Is it worth a secret ingredient? Although giving the Taiyuan Wang family a secret recipe does not mean that he cannot continue to do that industry, but the loss is still more than hundreds of thousands, Li Li asked curiously.
"Lang Jun, what is the use of white stacked flowers? Is it worth a secret recipe to change? ”
Li Yong replied with a smile.
"Value! You can change at least one county duke's title. ”
Can I change the title of a county duke? There are very few county dukes in the court, which of those county dukes was not fought the battlefield? Even Li Yong has been on the battlefield and made many great achievements, and now he is a county marquis, and there are county princes and then county princes above the county marquis, you can imagine how much credit this has, Cui Mo and Yingluo's big eyes suddenly lit up when they heard it, is there any money in the house? Of course it's not bad, take a secret recipe for a county value? It's too valuable, the title is not something that can be bought with money, not only do they think so, but Li Lizhen also thinks it's worth it, she is even more curious, what is the use of this white stacked flower can be worth the title of a county duke?
"Lang Jun, is there any use?"
The old ancestor pulled Li Yong's arm and asked coquettishly, Li Yong directly hugged her on his lap and explained with a smile.
"White stacked flowers, I also call it cotton, are used for warmth."
Li Li asked suspiciously.
"Keeping warm? Don't we have a cardigan? ”
Li Yong nodded and replied.
"Yes, that's right, we do have wool sweaters, but the output of wool is there, and now it can only be used in Xishan and Huating, but the warmth effect of cotton is better than that of woolen sweaters, and now we Datang people are still stuffing reeds into numbness, hard and not warm, I don't know how many people die of wind chill in the cold every winter, cotton is the same, it is very soft, and very warm, no less than leather clothes, stuffed into the quilt, stuffed into clothes, both soft and warm, and can be planted in any piece of land, It's not as restrictive as sweaters, and as long as the world is implemented at that time, the people will no longer be afraid of the cold winter. ”
Although Li Lizhi grew up in the deep palace, she also knows that every year in the cold winter, there will be an unknown number of people who die of freezing, she has been in Xishan and Huating County, and knows that if there is no woolen sweater made by Li Yong, these two places will be the same as other places in the Tang Dynasty, if the cotton is really so warm, it is equivalent to countless living people, this is a great merit, but also a great merit, such a feat, indeed deserves the title of a county duke, and what makes Princess Changle surging is Li Yong's heart, what is the reason for throwing hundreds of thousands of dollars? For the sake of the world! Just like when Li Yong took out the hundreds of thousands of yuan he bet on to build roads, how many people in the world can have such a heart? It's really my good husband for the country and the people, Li Lizhen doesn't feel distressed at this moment, on the contrary, she supports Li Yong very much, and she kisses Li Yong's face with excitement.
"Lang Jun is right, this is indeed worth the title of a county duke."
"If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world, even if you are not a knight, you have to do this thing."
Li Yong said with a smile.
"Well, this is a great good deed, a great merit! Our family is not short of hundreds of thousands, nor is it bad for that secret recipe. ”
Li Lizhi said very supportively at this time, but Li Yong said with a dry cough.
"Of course, it's good to mention the title, our future baby can also inherit a little better, plus we have more than one baby in the future, we will definitely have a few more babies, so the title still has to be fought for."
Li Lizhi listened to Xia Fei's cheeks first, and then nodded firmly.
"Lang Jun is right, this must be fought for."
Hearing about the succession of the title, her traditional thinking filled her brain, and now in Li Lizhi's heart, she is justifiable, if she has merit, why not give it? However, the premise is to have a few more babies, thinking of this, Li Li couldn't help but feel a little hot in her heart, did Lang Jun have something to say? Is this urging her to get pregnant and give birth to a baby? It wasn't like this before, when she was in Huating County, she led other sisters to force him like this, but now it's different after the round house? I don't know if I'm pregnant, since she and Li Yong had a round house, Lang Jun and her have been working hard, and she has changed her tricks according to Lang Jun's requirements...... Li Yong turned his head to look at Cui Mo and smiled.
"Cuimo, after I collect all the cotton, you sew the cotton into the cloth to make a jacket, make it wider, and the cloth must be the most ordinary."
Cui Mo asked suspiciously.
"Huh? With normal cloth? The ordinary fabrics in our house are for the workers to wear. ”
Li Yong shook his head and said.
"No, I don't mean the ordinary fabric in the house, but the most ordinary fabric worn by the people outside, only in this way can it be more convincing, and you don't have to worry about the style of needlework, just do it."
Li Lizhi smiled when she heard this.
"Does Lang Jun want to make it for his father to see?"
"Of course, it's only convincing to try it yourself."
Li Yong nodded and said with a smile, Cui Mo was stupid when he heard it, it turned out that he was going to be dedicated to the emperor, how could he not care about the style of the needlework? After Li Yong left, Cui Mo thought about how to sew the padded jacket with a thoughtful face, Li Lizhi leaned on the soft couch where Li Yong was sitting just now and asked.
"You say, why didn't the eldest lady of the Wang family accept the 220,000 yuan?"
Yingluo was stunned for a moment and replied.
"Princess, listen to the meaning of the Hou Ye, Bai Diehua can be planted by finding a piece of land at will, and it must be a worthless thing in the origin of Bai Diehua, and that Miss Wang must know that it is normal for her not to accept the 220,000 yuan."
Cui Mo also said with a smile.
"Yes, that Miss Wang herself is from a big family, and she must not be short of money, and she often comes to our Li Jiazhuang to listen to her grandfather's lectures!"
Wang Jiuer actually didn't know Li Yong before, but she often came to Lijiazhuang to listen to classes, this is what she cared about, she asked in her heart, which lady in the boudoir would not like Li Yong now? But Wang Jiu'er gave these white stacked flowers to Li Yong, which couldn't help but make her feel a little intriguing.
"Friendship is friendship, business is business, that's 220,000 yuan, not 22 yuan, in all fairness, if it were you, if you have rare objects in your hands that can be sold for 220,000 yuan, will you give them to others for nothing? Even if you know it's not worth much. ”
Li Li asked, Cui Mo and Yingluo were also silent for a while, and Li Li then said with a smile.
"Then let's change the question, if the two of you have a calligraphy and painting worth a thousand yuan in your hands, and Li Chongyi likes it very much, will you give it to Li Chongyi?"
For Li Chongyi? Why did you give it to Li Chongyi? Cui Mo and Yingluo shook their heads in unison and replied.
"Of course not, why should you give it to Li Chongyi?"
Li Li asked with a smile.
"Then if Lang Jun also likes it very much, will you give it to Lang Jun?"
Cuimo and Yingluo nodded in unison and replied.
"Of course!"
They are all Li Yong's, let alone things, Li Li said with a smile.
"What's the difference to you?"
What is the difference between Hou Ye and Li Chongyi? Hou Ye is more handsome and chic than Li Chongyi, more literary, and has higher martial arts...... Hou Ye is much stronger than Li Chongyi, but the two of them understood what the princess meant, in the final analysis, it was because of their relationship with Li Yong, Yingluo and Cuimo suddenly came to their senses, this is not only related to the princess, but also to them, Yingluo whispered.
"The princess is suspicious of Miss Wang and Grandpa ......"
Li Lizhi shook her head and said.
"I just think she probably likes Lang Jun, so I want to give all those white stacked flowers to Lang Jun."
Yingluo and Cuimo couldn't help but feel that what the princess said was very reasonable, after all, which girl in this world would not like Li Yong?
"However, I don't think Master Hou may have that mind."
Cui Mo thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, Li Lizhi said softly.
"That's the same, it's just that her actions this time made Lang Jun miss her very much, I don't know if Lang Jun will be very moved."
Yingluo and Cuimo couldn't help nodding when they heard this, 220,000 yuan, what a big stroke, if Hou Ye doesn't miss love, it's strange.
"So, I hope she can accept these 220,000 yuan."
Li Lizhi said softly, that's 220,000! Although they knew that Bai Diehua could be worth the title of a county duke, Cui Mo and Yingluo still felt distressed, Yingluo turned her eyes and said in a low voice.
"Why should the princess be worried? Even if that eldest lady really loves Hou Ye? Anyway, it's not Hou Ye who suffers, and he also saved those hundreds of thousands, isn't it a good thing? ”
Cui Mo couldn't help but nod slightly when she heard this, what Yingluo said seemed to make a lot of sense! Isn't that what is going on, anyway, the Hou Ye can't suffer a loss, Li Lizhen couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she heard it, and she couldn't refute it for a while, as if it was really the same as Yingluo said, no, no, it's still something wrong, Li Lizhen was slightly stunned at first, and then shook her head and said.
"No, Wang Jiu'er is different from other sisters, Wang Jiu'er is the eldest lady of the Taiyuan Wang family, and her identity is far from being comparable to my sisters, they can be concubines, but the eldest lady of the Taiyuan Wang family can never be a concubine."
In other words, Zheng Liwan and they have no threat to her in terms of identity and status, and they are not worthy of the position of Li Yong's wife, plus she and Zheng Liwan have been together for a long time, everyone knows the roots, so there will be nothing in their hearts, and Wang Jiu'er is different, her label of the family gate valve is a danger signal, Cuimo and Yingluo immediately understood when they heard it, Yingluo smiled and said.
"Even if the eldest lady of the Wang family has a good status, the princess is the most noble princess in the Tang Dynasty! The same is true for other ladies, that is not comparable to the eldest lady of the Wang family, and the princess and other wives and the Hou Ye couple are as deep as glue, and the Hou Ye is very infatuated, how can he have other thoughts? ”
Li Lizhi also laughed when she heard this, feeling that she was making a big fuss, now that she is sitting on the right time, place, and people, are she still afraid that an outsider will threaten her?
"At that time, my grandfather said that I would have a few more babies to inherit the title, do you think my grandfather is urging me to have children?"
Li Lizhi said as she stroked her flat little belly.
"These days, the grandfather and the princess are like glue, we can all see it, maybe, the princess already has it!"
Yingluo Xiafei's cheeks, these days she really sees in her eyes, not only in her eyes, but also serving on the side, not only her Xiafei cheeks, but even Cuimo also Xiafei cheeks, she also served with Yingluo closely, compared to the two who are still virgins, the impact when they serve is greater, Li Yong doesn't know that what he said has caused Li Lizhi to associate so much, his attention is completely on cotton, Gaochangguo is rich in cotton, how can I get enough seeds as soon as possible? Immediately send a caravan to Gaochangguo to buy? The key is that it is not so easy for the caravan from the Western Regions to go to the Western Regions now, although the advance team of the Xishan Camp has become more and more famous in recent years, but it has not been able to exert enough influence on the Western Regions, so it has always been those caravans that are familiar with the road and the way to go to the Western Regions. Can Li Yong, Li Er, and a group of Tang courtiers just do it? Let Li Er send an envoy to negotiate with Gao Changguo, he is only responsible for providing information, thinking of this, Li Yong is a lot more relaxed, the only thing he cares about is when the cotton will ripen.
"It should be cooked, pick it!"
Li Yong instructed with a smile, Yingluo and Cuimo took the basket to pick the white stacked flowers themselves, and they didn't even dare to let the other maids get started, because the white stacked flowers were too valuable, Li Li looked at the white stacked flowers in the basket curiously and asked.
"Lang Jun, what then?"
"Wait until I go and collect the white stacked flowers of the Wang family, and then I will play cotton."
Li Yong replied with a smile.
"Bounce cotton?"
Li Lizhi was puzzled.
