Liang Guogong Mansion.

Li Qing and Lan Yu sat opposite each other.

Today's Lan Yu and the original judgment are like two people, these years are depressed, his spirit is no longer there, and he is also getting older.

A fifty-seven-year-old is about to enter the year of sixties.

"You busy man today, why do you remember me here?" Lan Yu asked with a smile, lifting the teapot and adding him a cup of tea.

Li Qing lightly stroked the teacup and said with a smile: "Isn't this busy." ”

Looking at Lan Yu, who had already revealed his old age, Li Qing sighed in his heart, and joked: "Don't drink anymore?" ”

"Nope." Lan Yu shook his head and sighed, "It's not okay to be old, this body is not as good as a day, alas...... I really want to go to Mobei to fight again. ”

Li Qing was silent, Zhu Yunwen didn't use blue jade, and Zhu Di didn't use blue jade.

Neither of them wanted Lan Yu to lead the troops, firstly to weaken his influence, and secondly because of Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi's identity is too special, or too noble, even Zhu Di is very wary of him.

Li Qing couldn't say anything about this kind of thing, and even if he did, Zhu Di might not agree.

Lan Yu took a sip of tea and asked, "What is the situation outside the customs?" ”

"On the surface, it's stable." Li Qing frowned and said, "However, the specific method still needs to be verified, and when Jinyiwei grows stronger, I am ready to play the emperor and let Jinyiwei investigate the situation." ”

"Hmm." Lan Yu nodded, no more.

The two sat quietly for a long time, without the original enthusiasm, but they still regarded each other as friends in their hearts, but due to the turbulence of the situation, it was difficult to return to the past.

In the end, Li Qing gave Lan Yu a pulse and prescribed Zhang Danfang, asking him to take care of his body.

Lan Yu accepted his kindness and got up to see him off.

Out of the Liang State Mansion, Li Qing looked up at the sky, was stunned for a long time, and then turned his head and went to the Cao Guo Mansion again.

Li Jinglong also looks depressed, without him, Zhu Di admits his affection, but does not use him.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, although Li Jinglong helped Zhu Di a lot, he was an old minister of Jianwen after all, and Zhu Di was even more relieved by the lack of the team of Yan Wangfu.

Not only Li Jinglong, but also Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, and Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, are the same.

Zhu Di gave a lot of rewards, but he didn't delegate power at all, and he also secretly poked and weakened them.

Even, Zhu Di still had their minds, but was persuaded by Li Qing and Dao Yan.

The emperor is ruthless, nothing more than that.

The reason why Li Qing is still reused is because his merits are large enough, but more importantly, he is not involved in both civil and military affairs, and has no influence in the army.

The two exchanged a few words and came to the guest hall to sit down.

Li Jinglong said with a smile, "Brother Li finally came here, and our brother has to have a drink today." ”

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Li Qing smiled and nodded.

The wine and food are all together, and the two of them serve one cup after another, reminiscing about the past and reminiscing about the past......

At the beginning, the gentleman boy who took a small gold-painted fan and stole around the Qinglou is now a mature and introverted middle-aged.

Li Jinglong's chest is not talented, but he is not a straw bag, the two of them chatted until dusk, and Li Qing got up to say goodbye.

"Brother Li."

"Huh?" Li Qingdu went out of the door, and when he heard Li Jinglong call him, he turned around and smiled, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Jinglong stepped forward slowly and said softly: "He is the same as Taizu, he is a real emperor, but because of this, you should ...... Forget it, I can't persuade you;

However, my brother doesn't want you to have an accident, and you will be more low-key in the future, once a son of heaven and a courtier, like you and me, it will be the most embarrassing. ”

patting Li Qing on the shoulder, Li Jinglong said seriously, "Think more about yourself in everything." ”

"Well, I wrote it down for my brother."

……

Seven days later, the Weaving Bureau officially started.

The textile workers reported on time, and Li Qing divided these people into shifts according to the processes they were good at, and then followed up step by step.

Silkworms, looms, and dyes are all ready-made goods purchased from the rich gentry, which saves a lot of effort, and the weaving bureau jumps out of the cumbersome process and starts directly from boiling cocoons and drawing silk.

During this time, Li Qingwei made up a lot of knowledge about silk weaving, although he couldn't weave, he knew it very well.

In the trial production stage, only let the veterans do it, find fault with them on the side, put forward opinions, and explain the precautions to the workers who are not familiar with it by the way.

After working for more than half a month, when Li Qing looked at the silkworm cocoon, which turned into exquisite silk step by step, a strong sense of satisfaction and pride arose.

So far, only China, only the Ming Dynasty, can weave such a gorgeous thing.

This pattern, this color, this feel...... Li Qing stroked it lightly and couldn't help but sigh: "This is luxury, real luxury." ”

He was absolutely confident, and once such a Chinese thing was distributed overseas, it would definitely drive those gringos crazy.

Such a thing, overseas countries can't make it at all, the price is geometric, and the Ming Dynasty has the final say.

In addition, there are porcelain, tea, spices...... Thinking of these, Li Qingxin is full of flowers, a lot of silver!

A month later, the Weaving Bureau was on the right track, but Li Qing was still very busy, busy keeping up with the progress, checking the quality, and... Take the eunuchs.

There is no way, the fourth child is not worried about Wenchen, so he can supervise the Weaving Bureau, and he can only take the group of people all day long, and teach them hand in hand.

Fortunately, although these people don't have much knowledge, they are all smart, and Li Qing didn't have too much trouble teaching them.

The three daughters accompanied him and lived in the weaving bureau, helping during the day and at night.

Sometimes in the wings, sometimes in the office, in general, the days are very moist, busy and free.

After following for more than two months, entering the middle of summer, and seeing that everything was on the right track, Li Qing put down his pick and went back to enjoy life.

In June, Jinling was hot and dry, but fortunately, there were ice cubes, which was not difficult.

……

Li Qing half leaned on the recliner, put on a fishing rod, and chilled watermelon and sour plum soup on the small table, thirsty for a whole bite, comfortable and comfortable.

"Sir, the fish has bitten." Wan Ling reminded in a whisper.

Li Qing woke up from his sleep, and with a flick of his wrist, a fat fish was lifted.

After taking the fish and putting it in the bamboo basket, Li Qing got up and said with a smile, "There are three in total, one is steamed, one is braised and the other is stewed with fish soup, and lunch has been settled." ”

Wan Lingwan, "Just eat fish?" ”

"What do you want to eat, girl?" Li Qing asked with a smile.

"Hmm......" Wan Ling thought for a moment, "what kind of preserved eggs did Mr. made last time, is there anything else?" ”

"Yes!" Li Qing held the bamboo basket in one hand and led her back with the other, "Didn't you say that you don't have an appetite when you look at it?" ”

"Oh, it doesn't look good, but it tastes good." Wan Ling grinned.

Li Qing smiled dumbly, "If you want to eat, take a bite of Mr. kiss." ”

"Someone."

"Do you want to eat it?"

"Muma~"

A gust of wind came, blowing her green silk and gently raising the emerald pleated skirt, the beauty is no longer young, but she is still captivating.

Lunch was happy, eating, chatting, Li Qing's words became more, and even a little nagging, screaming one girl after another, the three girls were happy.

Playing the piano and playing chess, the scorching sun gradually subsided, Li Qing led them out to go shopping, buy some clothes, jewelry, rouge and gouache;

The three girls picked and chose clothes for their husbands in the ready-to-wear shop, which was warm and relaxed.

But there are always some people who can't get used to Li Qing's enjoyment, such as: Zhu Laosi.

Zhu Di saw that Li Qing was eating, drinking, and having fun all day long, so he was angry, but the court's money was sent non-stop, what could he do if he didn't work?

So, find him a job.

- Make up a book!

In the imperial study, Li Qing listened to the task assigned by Zhu Di and shook his head decisively: "Your Majesty, the ministers have no culture!" ”

"Fart, you kid is just lazy." Zhu Di decisively didn't believe it.

"Your Majesty, you know, ministers have no fame." Li Qing said helplessly, "Xie Jin, Huang Huai, Jin Youzi...... Which of them is not better than the minister? ”

He's really not lazy, he's really not good at literature, as for what he learned in later generations...... It's all fucking forgot.

Even if some theories are still remembered, they are difficult to use in this era when there is no foundation.

"Your Majesty, let me do things okay, let me write a book...... It's really embarrassing. ”

It's so painful to write a book, he really doesn't want to write it!

Zhu Di saw that he was really resistant, and he didn't have anything to do with the strongman, so he said angrily: "It's done, but you can't be idle, I gave you the money, but at the same level as the Guogong, if you don't work all day, won't your conscience hurt?"

Are you worthy of your servant? ”

Balabala......

Li Qing was hurt by his quarrel, so he arranged a job for him in turn: "Your Majesty, the situation outside the customs needs to be paid more attention, now that Jinyiwei has grown, you might as well send Jinyiwei to Mobei to inquire about the military situation and prepare for the Northern Expedition in the future." ”

"Well, that makes sense." Zhu Di nodded, "Why don't you go?" ”

"It's not suitable, it's not suitable...... Li Qing waved his hand again and again, so he had to take the initiative to take the job, "The minister wants to go to Longjiang Shipyard to see, the emperor wants to make great achievements, and he can't do it without money, don't you say?" ”

"Well, that's fine." Zhu Di nodded, "As long as you don't stay idle at home all day, how can you be idle at your age?" ”

"......" Li Qing said helplessly, "Your Majesty, you know that the minister is not younger than you." ”

Zhu Di glanced at him, "But I look at you... The body is good, no less than the young guy eighteen, looking at it and living. ”
