"Tell me about it." Shangguan Kite now has a good sense of Xu Ningqin, and his words are very kind.

Xu Ningqin glanced up at her, and hurriedly lowered her head: "The grass people want to ask the eldest princess...... There is a piece of land in Beicheng, which is occupied by the government but useless, and the grass people want to buy that land. ”

Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Kite had a cold expression.

She doesn't like to bend the law for personal gain the most in her life, and she hates this kind of thing to find her head.

I regret that this incident would happen to Xu Ningqin, who she still finds interesting, but I heard her continue:

"The land is surrounded by poor families, and the grass people want to build a silk mill there, so that the women in the neighborhood can work in the factory and get some money."

"The government had the intention to sell the land earlier, but the grass people asked several times, but the government bluntly said that the land was not something that people like the grass people could buy."

"The grass people inquired in many ways, only to learn that the land was reserved for a county king to build as a horse farm......"

Shangguan Kite's face softened a little, and when she heard it, she frowned again: "Beicheng? Racecourse? ”

Xu Ningqin pursed her lower lip and lowered her head deeply: "Yes, there are many residents nearby." ”

The implication is that it is not suitable for building a horse farm.

Shangguan Kite sneered and looked at Qing He: "You accompany Boss Xu to the northern city, the horse farm in the palace can only be built on the outskirts of the city, go and see who has such a face, and actually encloses land within the city wall at will." ”

"Yes." Qinghe curtsied.

Xu Ningqin looked up in surprise to look at Shangguan Kite, Shangguan Kite raised her hand to her: "Get up, when the matter is resolved, you will come to the palace mansion, and the palace still wants to hear you talk about the factory in detail." ”

"Yes, yes, thank you, eldest princess!" Xu Ningqin was obviously really happy, and her smile was much more real.

However, after half a day's effort, when Qinghe and Xu Ningqin returned to the princess's mansion, the matter had already been completed, and the governor of Beicheng wanted to directly send the land to the princess's mansion in order to curry favor with Shangguan Kite.

"The slave maid also met with the little servant of the king of Rongrui County, and did not ask for the land directly, leaving a silver ticket at the market price." Qinghe said.

Shangguan Kite nodded, this is indeed the style of her princess's mansion, and her subordinates are never allowed to take advantage.

Xu Ningqin's face turned crimson with joy, and she arched her hand at Shangguan Kite and said, "Thank you princess for your help, the grass people will go back to get the silver ticket——"

"Wait, don't rush the silver ticket, you first tell the palace what kind of factory you are." Shangguan Yuan smiled.

"Yes, the grass people have built a sericulture factory on the outskirts of the city, where the mulberry trees are lush and suitable for silkworm farming......"

Seeing that Shangguan Kite was really interested, Xu Ningqin talked about how to raise silkworms, form cocoons, draw silk, cut silk, and weave cloth.

Dasheng's silk cutting is still very simple, artificial soaking, shaking and then drawing out the silk thread, but Xu Ningqin has a wooden silk cutting machine in his hand, which is more convenient to use.

Shangguan Kite listened with relish, and couldn't help but ask, "Are your shops like this?" ”

"Back to the princess, no, the grass people in the south are basically embroidery houses or cloth mills. This is the first silkworm factory in the grass people, and there are many nobles in Beijing to afford such a precious thing. ”

Xu Ningqin said with a smile, "To make the simplest silk clothes, it takes about three or four thousand cocoons to ......."

When Shangguan Kite heard this, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

She had just known the hardships of raising silkworms and cutting silk, and now she understood the value of silk, and she already had a similar price in her heart - I am afraid that it is no different from gold.

"The silk cutting process is cumbersome and complicated, and those who need slender fingers, the grass people think that it is good to recruit only some women." Xu Ningqin said softly.

Shangguan Kite's heart moved: "You say, so that they can get some money?" ”

Xu Ningqin seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then quietly looked up at Shangguan Kite.

After a while, she made up her mind and whispered: "The grass people have walked through so many places, and they only feel that the women in the world are hard. I thought that if a woman could also earn money, maybe she would have an easier life. ”

Shangguan Kite sat on the top and slowly looked at the woman in front of him.

Xu Ningqin is dressed in light purple clothes, which is not very prominent, but she is also generous. She stood there, facing herself, the eldest princess, although she also leaned over and even knelt down, but inexplicably, Shangguan Kite felt that she had been straightening her waist.

Even, from her, Shangguan Kite inexplicably saw the sentence that Tang Yuer often said: Everyone is equal.

Shangguan Kite didn't feel offended, only laughed and nodded: "Bengong thinks, you are right." ”

Xu Ningqin let go of her heart: "Then the grass people will go back to get the silver ticket——"

"This piece of land belongs to the palace, and it is for you." Shangguan Kite smiled and tapped his cheek with his fingertips, "After all, it was snatched from the hands of King Rongrui, if there is no palace, I'm afraid you won't even be able to build any factory." ”

Shangguan Kite thought that Xu Ningqin would have to hesitate any longer, but she didn't think that her eyes lit up, and she bowed and said, "Then the grass people are disrespectful, thank you eldest princess." ”

Shangguan Kite was stunned for a moment, looked at her for a moment, and suddenly asked with a smile: "You said that you had seen the palace from a distance in front of the princess's mansion before?" What were you going to do? ”

"I'm not afraid of the eldest princess's jokes, the grass people originally wanted to come to see the eldest princess that day." Xu Ningqin also replied frankly.

Shangguan Kite laughed, Xu Ningqin continued with a smile: "As a woman, it is not easy for Caomin to gain a foothold in Beijing. ”

"Everyone in Beijing knows that the eldest princess is good and evil, and she is extremely chivalrous, and the grass people thought at the time that if the eldest princess knew what the grass people were going to do, she would support it."

"And the grass people, sure enough, guessed correctly." Xu Ningqin looked at Shangguan Kite sincerely, her eyes shining.

Shangguan Kite has heard it more than once when he wears a top hat like this, but he really doesn't sound as comfortable as Xu Ningqin.

She nodded reservedly, but couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Ningqin's words and deeds are really likable, Shangguan Yuan asked her to give her a seat for tea, and chatted with her for a while.

Because of the many things encountered in the places she had walked, Xu Ningqin really had something to say, and Shangguan Yuan listened to it with relish, until a notice came from outside, saying that Lord Ye was coming, and she was reluctant to let Xu Ningqin leave first.

Xu Ningqin said with a smile: "The grass people will often come in the future, and they will also talk to the princess about the establishment of the silk factory." ”

"Okay." Shangguan Kite was in a good mood, so he was very generous, and with a wave of his hand, he rewarded Xu Ningqin with a lot of cloth made in the palace manufacturing office, Xu Ningqin was naturally happy and thanked him again and again.

When she went out, Ye Suiyun happened to come in.

Seeing that it was a woman in cloth, Ye Suiyun didn't look much at it, and after entering the door, he found that Shangguan Kite was in a good mood.

He was thinking about how to speak, when he heard Shangguan Yuan smile and said, "Lord Ye, this palace has one more trouble for you." ”

"Then the reserve camp, can you send another team of people to the palace?"
