Chapter 58

After Bai Zhi left, Lin Xiaoyue asked Liu Tingge if she knew anything about Dugu Yijian.

Liu Tingge said: I have seen it a few times, Dugu Yijian has a withdrawn personality, strong mana, and can use the number of techniques to calculate the future, and every word is fine. Emperor Jingwu once wanted to subdue him with power and wealth, but he said that Emperor Jingwu had great righteousness and no great wisdom, and was not close to people, so it was difficult to achieve great things, so he only hoped that Emperor Jingwu would live a stable life, be a mediocre emperor, and don't toss around.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Dugu Yijian has a good personality, he looks at people accurately, and he also says everything that others dare not say, Emperor Jingwu is super faceless to be said like this.

Liu Tingge said: Dugu Yijian also said that Yu has the wind and clear clouds, and Liu Xiangru is like these virtuous ministers, but there is no clear master, and it is difficult to have a prosperous world.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Dugu Yijian said this, and he was not afraid that Emperor Jingwu would cut off his head.

Liu Tingge said: Dugu Yijian has long been ready to retreat, and he also said that Emperor Jingwu's talent cannot support his lofty dreams, and the people will suffer at that time. And no one will say this to Emperor Jingwu, I just hope that these words can wake him up. But most of the time it is in vain, because people's temperament is difficult to change, and they are born in the game, they can't see the situation clearly, and even if they are wrong, they will not think that they are wrong.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Dugu Yijian is really a master in the world.

Liu Tingge said: He sees things more clearly than anyone else, but he has a strange temperament, which is a weird talent.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Ge'er, let's go back to the capital.

Chongming is gone, it's not interesting to continue to stay here, life has to go on.

Liu Tingge and Lin Xiaoyue flew back to the capital, and at this time, the capital was full of the romantic and glamorous texts of the wind and the stars. Feng Xinghe is very handsome, intelligent and elegant, and he is a top aristocratic son, with his own star effect, and he is the focus of everyone everywhere.

Lin Xiaoyue heard everyone's discussion, a man said that Fengxinghe was romantic, regardless of men and women, bought a large courtyard in the capital, purchased a large number of sharks, gathered people for lewd fun, and many dignitaries and nobles sent sharks to Fengxinghe for the sake of settling the wind and clouds.

Lin Xiaoyue saw everyone talking about the romantic history of Fengxinghe, and her eyebrows danced. made Lin Xiaoyue feel a little guilty about Feng Xinghe, and came up with that idea for Lilith, which made Feng Xinghe have a bad reputation.

Liu Qingge saw Lin Xiaoyue's thoughts, and said: Sister Yue'er, don't feel guilty, that kid from Fengxinghe was fascinated by a beauty, if it wasn't for my sister who changed the idea of a beauty, that kid from Fengxinghe would have had an accident sooner or later.

Lin Xiaoyue thought about it again and said, "Ge'er, if one day Emperor Jingwu knows that Feng Xinghe is doing this for Lilith.

Liu Tingge said: If Emperor Jingwu knew that he would not kill Feng Xinghe like killing the head of the Situ family, but he would kill Lilith, he would not tolerate that the merman could influence the important ministers of the court, and Feng Xinghe had a merry reputation, and Lilith was not easy to be discovered.

Lin Xiaoyue went to Liu Shangshu's Mansion and met Feng Xinghe, Feng Xinghe is busy with government affairs and front-line warfare these days, and she has to curry favor with Lilith to buy mermaids, and plan to return to the South China Sea for mermaids without being discovered, which can be described as a worry.

Feng Xinghe is obviously haggard, not physically tired, but mentally tired.

Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile: Feng Gongzi, he has become a celebrity recently.

Feng Xinghe shook his head with a wry smile, he hadn't even touched the fingers of those sharks, but he had a reputation for being lustful and amorous. Feng Xinghe said helplessly: Miss Lin, don't make fun of you.

Feng Xinghe said: Miss Lin, do you have a way to explain that the Witch King sent troops, after all, you saved the Witch King's niece Jade Barnacle, and you are also the master of the Jade Barnacle.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Didn't the emperor send Princess Qionghua to make peace, and the witch king still refused to send troops.

Feng Xinghe said: The marriage is yellow, Princess Qionghua cried and refused to marry, was forced to get on the sedan chair, and asked the palace maid to pretend to be herself halfway, Princess Qionghua escaped, and disappeared, the palace maid's hands were rough and her face was black, and she was seen by the witch king at a glance that it was fake. The witch king refused to send troops on the grounds of cheating marriage.

Lin Xiaoyue said: First, the father and daughter of the jade barnacle have received my favor, but their father and daughter have been estranged from the witch king due to various changes. Second, the Witch King wanted to justifiably occupy more than 20 cities such as Tianqing and Xinyue, but he didn't want to send troops. You have long been accustomed to the capricious political stance of the Witch King. Cheating on marriage is just an excuse, even if you get married, the witch king can also use illness as an excuse not to send troops, because the witch king wants to use the battle between Yu and Liang to seek more benefits, and it is more advantageous to not clearly stand on one side.

Feng Xinghe asked, "What does the Witch King want?"

Lin Xiaoyue said: The witch king is watching the war, if the Yu country wins obviously, stand on the side of the Yu country, fight against the Liang country, and get a piece of the pie. If Liang Guo wins obviously, stand on Liang Guo's side, fight against Yu Guo, and share a piece of meat. If both Yu and Liang are defeated, they can take the opportunity to expand their territory. If Yu reconciles with Liang, he will not lose.

Feng Xinghe said: The Witch King has really become a fine king.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Instead of spending your mind on the Witch King, it is better to put your mind on combat, after all, the Witch King sent troops, and you will not believe him. At that time, the wind seniors will have to watch out for him, which will make the war more complicated.

Feng Xinghe said: This is reasonable, Miss Lin, there is a clever plan to retreat from the enemy.

Lin Xiaoyue said: It's about to enter winter, the winter is cold, people are already susceptible to wind and cold, find monks who are good at water spells to attack the Liang army, do not ask to win, only require through many water system attacks, and dig through the surrounding waterways, aggravate the moisture, Liang soldiers come to Yu country, they will not adapt to the water and soil, and this can make the Liang army sick.

Feng Xinghe said: After winter, our army is also prone to wind and cold.

Lin Xiaoyue said: You can buy a large number of ginger, ginger is warm, can drive away the cold, use ginger Ao water to cook soup, boiled noodles, boiled dumplings, can prevent wind cold.

Feng Xinghe said: There are many water monks in the Xuanwu Building, and the purchase of ginger can also be handed over to the gold ingot.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Gold ingots are mercenary.

Feng Xinghe said: Although the gold ingots are not profitable, they are creditworthy, and there are many business channels, so it is suitable for him to buy a large amount of ginger.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Secondly, Feng Gongzi can organize a team of 1,000 people, and everyone in it will work lightly. Named Wolf Fang, this team is a squad with no fixed residence and no fixed goal, and its whereabouts and purpose are erratic, and it is specially used to ambush the enemy. For example, after winter, the roads were slippery and the supply of grain and grass was difficult, so the wolf tooth team took the opportunity to attack the grain and grass transportation troops of the Liang army. Many of the soldiers of the Liang army were sick, and the supply of food and grass was not timely, and the army was disheartened.

Feng Xinghe exclaimed: It's a pity that Miss Lin is not a man, otherwise she will definitely be able to make a contribution.

Lin Xiaoyue said: It's a pity that it's not that I'm a daughter, but that you who don't mind if I'm a man or a woman.

Feng Xinghe smiled slightly, and acquiesced. Feng Xinghe asked: How did Miss Lin meet Senior Liu.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Liu Tingge took the initiative to find me, probably because he thought it was fun and interesting.

Feng Xinghe said: After all, there are very few women like Miss Lin in this world.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Don't compliment me, do business.

Subsequently, Feng Xinghe entered the palace, put forward Lin Xiaoyue's suggestions and analysis, and discussed countermeasures with the ministers. Lin Xiaoyue took cabbage and An An to tell the story of Cinderella in Liu Shangshu's garden. Suddenly, Cabbage and An An fell asleep. Liu Qingge came to Lin Xiaoyue in a flash, and carried the cabbage and An An back to the pit in the house.

Liu Tingge said: Sister Yue'er, don't accompany the two little ones, play with me.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Ge'er, they are still young, if you point to make them sleep, it will affect their growth and development.

Liu Tingge said aggrievedly: Sister Yue'er, once in a while, it won't have any effect.

Liu Qingge first took Lin Xiaoyue to Hexian Tower, the first inn in the capital, to taste delicious food, and then went to the outskirts of the capital.

Liu Tingge pointed to the emaciated farmers who were sorting out grain and grass in the suburbs, and said: Sister Yue'er, look at these farmers, this year's war is raging, they should be starving everywhere, and most of them can't eat, but because you taught Feng Xinghe the planting and breeding technology, Feng Xinghe has promoted this technology to major cities, so that this year's grain harvest will be bumper, the people will not starve to death this winter, and the soldiers fighting in Gusu City will not lack food and grass, which is the credit of Sister Yue'er.

Lin Xiaoyue stepped forward and asked the peasants. The peasants said that this year, the government promoted new agricultural technology, and at first everyone was reluctant to do it, so the government forced us to do it, but after we did it, the grain production increased, and everyone was very happy, and there was no need to worry about starving to death in winter.

At this time, a little girl with thin clothes ran to the feet of the farmer and shouted cold. The farmer said, "Little girl, it's good not to starve to death this winter."

Lin Xiaoyue said: Why don't you buy her clothes for the cold season.

The peasants said: Cotton is expensive, and generally only well-off families can afford it.

Lin Xiaoyue said: I understand.

Lin Xiaoyue returned to Liu Shangshu's Mansion and asked Liu Shangshu's housekeeper to collect unwanted chicken feathers, duck feathers, goose feathers, etc. from major restaurants in the capital. The housekeeper didn't know why, so he went to collect it after asking Liu Shangshu. Three days later, the housekeeper handed over the hundreds of bags of poultry wool collected to Lin Xiaoyue. Lin Xiaoyue handed over the poultry wool to the peasants, and instructed the peasants to dry the feathers, sew clothes, and stuff the poultry feathers into them, naming them down jackets. When the peasant woman made her clothes, she put them on her body, and they were very warm, better than warm clothes made of cotton. So, each family divided a bag of poultry wool back to make down jackets.

Liu Qingge said: Sister Yue'er, you have made another merit.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Down jackets are warmer than cotton clothes, and it won't be long before down will be purchased by rich and noble families, and poor people still can't enjoy it.

Liu Tingge said: At least this year, they have enjoyed it, and the suffering in the world cannot be saved.

Lin Xiaoyue understands that even in a modern society with a rich material base, people have a lot of troubles and pains, not to mention the feudal society with backward production.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Ge'er, thank you, I know you want to pull me out of the low mood of falling out of love, I will find something meaningful to do, and I will not indulge myself in negativity and self-pity.

Liu Tingge said: Sister Yue'er, I will accompany you to make these interesting things, plus the two little ones around you.

After Lin Xiaoyue went back, she instructed her subordinates to find some gray silt, clay, coal, etc. Lin Xiaoyue wanted to make clay into red bricks. Lin Xiaoyue has been in the capital for a while, and found that only large families have houses made of green bricks, the price of green bricks is expensive, and the secret recipe of green bricks is in the hands of the imperial merchants in the capital. The family of Yin made a house out of mud. And the poor people made their houses out of tree trunks, which could not keep out the wind and rain, and they were not strong. Lin Xiaoyue decided to make red bricks first, then honeycomb coal, and finally coal furnaces.

Lin Xiaoyue told Liu Tingge about the plan, and Liu Tingge found it interesting and happily joined. Cabbage and An An felt the novelty and joined in. Four people first dried the sticky, then crushed it, filtered it with a net, then stirred it with water, stirred evenly and put it into the pre-prepared brick mold, and put some fine sand in the brick mold to prevent sticking. After the bricks are formed, take them out and dry them in the shade to avoid sun exposure.

When they were done, all four of them were covered in plaster and their faces were dirty. The fairy-like white-clothed young man Liu Qingge is like an immortal who has fallen into the mortal dust, covered in dust. An An and Cabbage stared curiously at the bricks. Lin Xiaoyue pulled An'an and cabbage to take a bath.

Lin Xiaoyue said: An'an, cabbage, it will take a month for the bricks to dry completely, and tomorrow we will make honeycomb coal.

Liu Tingge used a little spell, and his face, hands, and clothes immediately became white and flawless.

Lin Xiaoyue said: It's really an immortal, with a wave of his hand, he will get rid of the dust.

Liu Tingge said: Sister Yue'er, I'll help you clean up.

Liu Qinge waved his hand, and Lin Xiaoyue's whole body was clean, which was more convenient than modern laundry equipment. Seeing this, An An and Cabbage shouted for Liu Tingge to help them clean up, but Liu Tingge ignored them and asked them to wash themselves. The two little ones pouted dissatisfiedly and went to take a bath.

Liu Shangshu also looked at the bricks curiously. For Lin Xiaoyue, he didn't understand, but he didn't dare to despise it. After all, she can get the courtesy of the wind and the galaxy, and she can get the favor of the ancestors of the Liu family, so she must have something extraordinary.

The next day, Lin Xiaoyue dried the sludge and crushed the coal into powder. The sun-dried sludge is filtered through a mesh. Mix coal powder and silt with a probability of 2:1, then add water to mix, make coal balls, and use the mold moment with nine pillars to roll out one after another briquettes. The key to honeycomb coal lies in the nine holes in the coal. Put the prepared honeycomb coal in the sun for two days.

In the homes of ordinary people, ordinary people can't afford to burn gold charcoal for heating, and the common charcoal is full of smoke, and people who choke can't breathe. Usually cooking and cooking is very expensive to firewood. Then there is the coal furnace, Lin Xiaoyue can't make it, she can only say the design concept, and ask a skilled craftsman to make it. A week later, a batch of coal furnaces and honeycomb coal was ready. Lin Xiaoyue experimented, a piece of coal can be burned for six hours, if the charcoal furnace can be closed, leaving only a small hole, it can be burned for twelve hours.
