Chapter Eighty-Eight: Expensive Luxuries in the Ming Dynasty!

"What about Yan Shizi? How is he? ”

Li Xiao continued to have nothing to say, and took the opportunity to learn about the situation of relatives at home.

"Of course Yan Shizi is excellent, not only the prince and princess."

Ma He continued: "Yan Shizi is also very kind to his subordinates, and when he meets those students who go to Beijing to take the exam on weekdays, he will generously sponsor the travel expenses. On weekdays, I will also collect some folk talents, record their skills and organize them into a book, and give them two returns."

Yes, this Zhu Gaochi, Li Xiao secretly praised in his heart.

Zhu Gaochi should not have thought that he would become a prince or even an emperor in the future.

These moves, presumably, are also unintentional.

But he probably didn't expect that what he did was not in vain.

In the future, it will become the prince's bargaining chip!

Zhu Gaoxu has made such a great contribution in the future and did not become the crown prince, it is impossible just because of a "good saint grandson".

Those students who were generously sponsored by the problem-solving, if they were successful, would definitely remember the love of the year and become princelings.

Even if he doesn't become a princeling, he will definitely not be harmed.

The ancients attached great importance to friendship, especially this kind of friendship in the snow.

Before the battle for the prince began, Zhu Gaoxu lost half of it.

Li Xiao agreed: "I also feel the same, although I only see Yan Shizi once, I feel very cordial. And what about Gao Xu? ”

"Prince Gauch."

Ma He frowned slightly: "It's hard to say what the lower officials are, but in recent years, there have been many more temperaments." ”

He recalled that he seemed to have been stoned by Zhu Gaoxu a few years ago.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Li Xiao smiled, It is already good that the other party can say so much to himself, indicating that he is willing to climb the relationship with him.

"Ma He, what books do you usually like to read?" Li Xiaodao.

Ma He said: "The Art of War. Xia Guan also thinks that one day he will be able to make a career on the battlefield. Will Xiao Gongzi feel that Xia Guan is a wasted person, a little whimsical? ”

"No, no, that's good, you're okay with that!"

Li Xiao hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's gold that always shines, don't give up your dreams, what's the difference between people without dreams and salted fish?" ”

People don't have dreams, what's the difference between them and salted fish?

The horse and the fine taste, and then the whole person's soul trembled a little.

This sentence made him feel empowered, and he said excitedly:

"What Xiao Gongzi said is reasonable, and he can't look down on himself because of his own defects"

"To tell you the truth, the art of war is only one of the hobbies of the lower officials, and the lower ones are more fond of the technology of ship construction, and often read such books."

"The purpose of making achievements is to make a career for the sea, and I prefer the sea!"

Some people are born in this world to do some vigorous careers.

For example, horses and.

He longed for the sea, and he wanted to build a big ship to conquer the sea.

But with his identity, he can't do it.

Therefore, he worked very hard, practiced the art of war, and thought that one day he would make a contribution.

Following King Yan's side, martial arts have a chance to stand out.

But the ultimate goal is not just for power and money.

It's for the dream.

For such a person, Li Xiao expressed his admiration.

"If you like it, just do it!"

"If you don't fight, no one knows how good they are!"

Li Xiao poured another round of chicken soup.

may be because of Li Xiao's identity, or because he was recognized by the master as a person of good luck.

This hair of chicken soup directly confused Ma He.

A fire burned in his heart, and he was even more determined in his dream.

"Xiao Gongzi, although it is the first time you and I have met, I always feel like I am familiar at first sight, and if I have the opportunity, I will invite you to drink."

During the conversation, Ma He finally measured his body and put away the rope.

"Okay, there's a chance we can talk about shipbuilding."

Li Xiao said.

Maybe I can get a boat out and see the scenery abroad.

Look at the situation in the outside country at this time?

Li Xiao knows a lot about Chinese history, but he doesn't know much about foreign history.

But it seems that the current Ming Dynasty should be one of the strongest empires in the world, right?

If he has the chance, he also wants to check it out and see if he can get some souvenirs back.

Global travel is right, it is global travel, follow your lover!

Turkey? Australia? Croatia? Going to the North Pole to see the Northern Lights? Catch a polar bear and a penguin and come back to have fun?

Thinking about it like this, Li Xiao began to have some longing

After greeting Ma He again, Li Xiao sent him out of the door.

After cleaning up, Li Xiao also left the Yanwang Mansion.

Prepare for the dowry!

He first inquired around, and then went to find a fairly large cloth village.

It's called Zhang's Buzhuang.

The cities of Beiping City are still very lively, and the shouts from the south to the north are endless.

The brilliant sunlight shone on the green tiles and red walls everywhere, and the abrupt horizontal cornices.

Shop signboards fluttering high, sparkling cars and horses, and endless flow of pedestrians.

There are those who carry burdens and hurry, and there are those who drive ox carts to deliver goods.

There are those who drive donkeys to pull wagons, and there are those who sell sugar gourds and all kinds of snacks.

There are also performers cheering in a circle of people.

There are also teahouse storytellers spitting there.

There are even many people who stop to enjoy the scenery.

These scenes and the prosperity of the Shangyuan Festival surprised Li Xiao, who thought that ancient times were the kind of bitter haha.

It's because I'm lonely.

It is mainly caused by the misconception caused by seeing the photos of those poor people taken in the Qing Dynasty in the past.

If it weren't for the lack of a mobile phone, Li Xiao would have liked to post a circle of friends now, so that everyone could come and see the scene of the Ming Dynasty.

After passing through a few streets along the way, Li Xiao found this cloth village.

"Guest officer, please inside."

As soon as the shop guy in black linen clothes saw Li Xiao staring at the signboard, he knew that there was business coming to his door.

Li Xiao followed into the store, which was very large.

Containers are crammed with goods, and there are all kinds of ready-to-wear displays.

However, it is mostly women who pick up the goods among them.

In comparison, I am a little out of place.

"Is the guest here to buy cloth? Do you make your own clothes, or?"

The guy asked tentatively.

Li Xiao explained the intention: "Is there any good material for the dowry?" ”

"It turned out to be for the dowry, this little one is the clearest."

The guy greeted warmly: "It depends on who you are from as a dowry, and we have the most complete cloth village of silk and satin brocade, and we have everything." ”

Li Xiao had a headache, he didn't understand this, and said directly: "Give me the most expensive one." ”

"Okay~"

The guy was overjoyed, and directly listed Li Xiao as a senior customer and led him to a small warehouse.

"Introduce this kind of rob to the guest officer, this kind of fabric can only be worn by the big people in the court."

He whispered mysteriously: "Today's emperors and lords all wear clothes made of this material."

"But the guest officer, let us remind you, the emperor stipulates that the common people, peasants, and merchants are not allowed to wear Luo, you should know this, right?"

I don't know, but it seems that Li Xiao nodded for his own ineffect: "Just this kind of Rob, what styles are there?" ”

As soon as he heard that the other party knew that he was going to buy it, Xiao Er was sure that the other party was a big man.

"Our store has Suluo, Yunmengluo, Jinluo everywhere, Fengluo over the shoulder, Zhijin Luo, and Zhu Zhu Buluo. They are all new this year, the prices are not the same, they are all good materials, and when the dowry is definitely faced, it depends on which one you like. ”

Hearing this, Li Xiao walked over, touched it and looked at it, it was indeed good material.

This so-called Luo is actually a kind of silk fabric.

The surface of the fabric is a floral fabric with a yarn hollow eye, and the process looks complicated.

But after all, it's just a piece of cloth.

Li Xiao thought that it wouldn't cost much to buy some cloth, so he spoke directly:

"Which is the most expensive?"

Xiao Er smiled mysteriously and led Li Xiao to the innermost.

Like a treasure, he opened a box containing cloth and said mysteriously: "My lord. This is the treasure of the store town, Coral Baoluo. Two hundred and twenty-one horses. ”

Li Xiao: "???? ”
