"Okay! The Chinese New Year is only a few days away, the auspicious snow heralds a good year..."
Concubine Longzi slowly stepped out of the door of Shang's study, looked at the already half-white palace, and reached out to catch a few falling snowflakes. Two eunuchs hurried forward with a heater, and a court lady even carried a fur-collar coat. , draped over her body.
"What kind of clothes is this, why is it so... bloated? It's so light..."
Concubine Longzi looked down in surprise. It was a bright yellow dragon robe coat. The fiery red collar looked festive and foreign. Two five-clawed white dragons were attached to the chest. Not only did it have two strange slanted pockets, The interior also has two deep pockets.
"Returning to Your Highness, this is the down jacket that Huaiyang weaves and pays tribute to..."
The court lady said enviously: "The down jackets are all made of soft white goose down, and the interior is divided into hundreds of small squares. Don't be afraid, your fur collar is still the fur of Firefox!"
"It turns out that this is a down jacket. It is said that it is very popular in the market, right..."
Concubine Longzi subconsciously walked back, and the maid followed with a smile and said: "Down jackets are very expensive. A high-quality one costs more than a hundred taels of silver, and ordinary ones cost dozens of taels. Concubine Qi begged the little princess to buy a suit." , but I am so envious of other mothers, it is hard to buy it with money now!"
"Why can Yongning buy it? Where does she have the ability..."
Concubine Longzi opened her arms when she walked behind the screen, and the maids hurriedly helped her change her clothes, and the maid who was close to her said, "The third lady of Qiuji is working under Zhao Wang, and the little princess is blocking Zhao Wang's request at the gate of the palace, so Zhao Wang sent someone Sending six pieces to the palace, the little princess wears three pieces alone, and changes every day!"
"Huh~ Qiu Ji paid me a few tributes..."
Concubine Longzi's eyes sharpened sharply, and the maid said in a panic: "Two, two! But yours are all the best dragon clothes, and the little princess's are folk goods. Qiu Ji also gave a few pairs of woolen snow suits." Boots, would you like to try it, Your Highness?"
"Get it!"
Concubine Longzi only wore a small coat and put on a down jacket. The long down jacket even covered her knees, and she felt warm soon. After she put on a pair of thick-heeled snow boots, she suddenly felt that her whole body was warm again. High legs and long.
"Not bad! It's really warm and light, and it's very convenient to put in your pocket..."
Concubine Long Zi walked to the floor-to-ceiling mirror and said with a smile: "It seems that King Zhao is right, the times are changing, we all have to innovate, you go and order Qiu Ji to send a few more regular clothes into the palace, let them work hard, let Huaiyang weaving has reached a new level!"
"yes!"
The maid ran out happily, she must have received a lot of benefits, and Concubine Longzi didn't take a sedan chair when she went out, she just let the maid hold an umbrella and walked all the way to the front palace on the snow, and where was the snow? Wherever she stepped, she finally revealed her girlish side.
"Oh, this down jacket is too hot, I'm sweating..."
Concubine Longzi untied a copper button depressedly. Her top down jacket was a tribute. The materials and workmanship were absolutely top-notch. Even the Canadian geese on the earth might not have enough materials for it. They went to the cabinet to discuss the matter. Already broke out in a sweat.
"No one wants to steal my things..."
"Why give it to you, my money is not money..."
"What do you want a flying cannon to beat a bandit? You fucking want to attack the city..."
A burst of loud shouts came from the courtyard, Concubine Longzi walked in in surprise, and saw that a group of generals were arguing in the room, each of them slapped the table and threw the benches, while the cabinet ministers were drinking tea leisurely, obviously already Commonplace.
"What's the noise? When is this place..."
Concubine Longzi lifted up the curtain domineeringly. Unexpectedly, the generals did not wear woolen military cloaks, majestic armor and official robes. They all wore long riding boots and leather belts. It was a dark green German military uniform, with short hair and a big-brimmed hat.
"Your Highness!"
All the ministers hurriedly bowed and saluted, and after Concubine Long Zi walked to the main seat and sat down, a general stepped forward and said anxiously: "Master Long! You judge us, there are not many flying cannons, and they are squatting in the countryside. I want it too, isn't this a blind man playing the erhu in his crotch... nonsense!"
"Bastard! How dare you talk nonsense in front of His Highness..."
The Minister of the Ministry of War scolded suddenly, but Concubine Longzi raised her hand and smiled: "It's okay! They hang out with King Zhao all day long, and they are full of jingles from him, but where do you get the money to buy flying cannons? Are you arguing that you can't open the pot?"
"As long as the thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties..."
The other party said solemnly: "A group of bandit soldiers has risen in the southwestern mountains, known as the king of Qitian, and the mountains are complicated and inconvenient to use, so the minister asked the rich gentry to raise a batch of silver taels, and wanted to buy a hundred flying cannons to bombard his mother." Turn the bottom up, wipe out the bandit capital and return it to them!"
"Hey, hey~ That's really nice to say, are you suppressing bandit soldiers..."
A general taunted: "You are the four big flaws that Prince Zhao said, the boss's waist, the tears of prostitutes, the manuscripts of civil servants, and the knives of Xiangyong. You are only a bandit with a few hundred people. You use a hundred flying cannons to kill you!" Boom, I think you want to open a mountain by the way and become a mine owner?"
"Is there a mine in Xiling?"
Concubine Long Zi grasped the key point immediately, and the other party immediately said: "Master Long! Those bandits just discovered the open-pit copper mine and called the villagers to mine it privately. The officials of Xiling Road didn't want to buy guns, they just wanted to use Exploding the mountain with the explosives of the Feitian Cannon is much easier than manual mining!"
"Fried mountains?"
Concubine Long Zi wondered: "Isn't there a gunpowder workshop in the Ministry of Industry? Just buy a batch and blow it up. Why do you have to use the powder pack of the Feitian Cannon?"
"Master Long! The medicine produced by the Ministry of Industry can only be used as firecrackers, it's too bad..."
The general said contemptuously: "The medicine for the Feitian Cannon comes from the Lanshuihe Commercial Company. They have a professional mountain-digging team. When the cannon fired, half the mountain collapsed, but this medicine cannot be sold privately. It can only be sold with the joint venture of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry." Approval, find them to order!"
"Your Highness! Veteran, let me explain..."
Xia Shoufu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Xiling Road wants to open mines, General Hu wants to fight against the barbarians of the Hu nationality, and the frontier army also wants to transfer guns to consolidate the pass. They have to buy both with their own money, but the output of Lanshui River is limited, and they themselves have We are mining, so the supply exceeds the demand!"
"Boom~"
Concubine Long Zi slammed the table and said angrily: "What does the Ministry of Industry do? Even your own soldiers dislike the products you produce. I think you can also play a supervisory role. Just eliminate your workshops. Leave it to private companies to do it!"
"Your Highness! The old minister has a compromise..."
The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry quickly said: "The prescription of Lanshuihe is unwilling to sell, and the workshop of the Ministry of Industry is idle, so the veterans please play, allow the Ministry of Industry and Lanshuihe to jointly operate, the Ministry of Industry will send people to supervise, and they will contribute capital and money. Craftsmanship, this can not only earn money, but also greatly increase production!"
"Are you a fool..."
Concubine Long Zi disdainfully said: "You have learned all other people's crafts, and when you turn around and kick them away, they will cry to someone. If you want to do big things, don't play around. Go and sign a twenty-year agreement with them. All the profits belong to them, half of the production goes to the Ministry of War to purchase and allocate, and the court will take back the workshop after twenty years!"
"Oh, Your Highness, this is a good idea. The old minister went to talk to them in the afternoon..."
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry was in a hurry to flatter, and Concubine Long Zi took a sip from the tea bowl and said, "Those who achieve great things are all win-win, don't think about taking advantage of others all day long, right! What are you wearing? Have you got a new uniform?"
"The Ministry of War doesn't have this spare money..."
The Secretary of the Ministry of War sat on the chair and said disdainfully: "They are flirting with themselves. Seeing that the new military uniforms of the Dragoons are in awe-inspiring style, they all ran to Qiuji Trading Company to have a few suits, and they said it was... protective color!"
"My lord! You just can't keep up with the times, isn't it just a protective color...
"
A general said with a high air: "You haven't seen the auspicious clothes of the dragoons. You can't find them even if you lie at your feet. Our clothes are called army green. If you put a cat in the woods, it will confuse your eyes, and it's so convenient to put it in your pocket. You don’t need to take off your trousers with the trouser button to relieve yourself!”
"It seems that you have a high opinion of the dragoons..."
Concubine Long Zi smiled and asked: "This king asks you, if the strength of the troops is equal, and I face the most elite troops against the dragoons, who will win and who will lose?"
"Master Long! If they charged each other on the plain, the Habayashi Army could kill them all without leaving any..."
A general clasped his hands and said: "If you are fighting in a mountain battle or a city battle, the dragoons can stop ten with one, because the dragoons never train to charge and attack. They exist only to ambush, protect, and block the enemy. They can only be regarded as a guard. !"
"What do you think of War and Sudden Bureau?"
Concubine Longzi glanced at them slowly, and a general cupped his hands and said, "I think! Zhanhuju is the best choice for carrying out the enemy's special service. I have listened to one of their lectures, and I believed it when I deduced it. It's a big trap, they... even deceived their own people!"
"vomit~"
Concubine Long Zi suddenly covered her mouth and rushed to the side, squatting beside the spittoon and retching, all the ministers were frightened and ran out to call the imperial doctor.
When the two imperial doctors arrived with the medicine box, Concubine Long Zi had already sat back on the chair, and said weakly, "Did I catch a cold, I've been vomiting sour water for the past few days!"
"Your Highness, don't worry, let the old minister check your pulse first..."
The old doctor respectfully took out the small pillow, sat on the side and took the pulse seriously, but after a while he shrank his hands in fright, and hurriedly got up to wink at his colleague, the colleague's face also changed slightly, cautiously Step forward to check the pulse.
"What's wrong? To be honest, you don't have to hide..."
Concubine Longzi straightened up suspiciously, and everyone in the room watched eagerly. The middle-aged imperial doctor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a trembling voice: "I, I think you are incompetent. ... This is joy!"
"ah?"
All the generals and ministers in the room were dumbfounded, Concubine Long slapped the table angrily, and the two imperial doctors knelt on the ground at the same time in fright, but Concubine Long scolded angrily: "Damn Ao Bing, tell him not to come, Don't come, you chose this time to descend to earth, do you want to kill me?"
"Your Highness! Dragon species..."
The whole room was excited again, and everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
"nonsense!"
Concubine Longzi said depressedly: "Except for the dead ghost Xiao Bailong, who can sneak into the palace quietly, how can this king let outsiders touch it, the dead ghost dragon also lied to me that it's okay, you two hurry up and take a look, right? Really happy pulse?"
"Your Highness! It is absolutely true..."
The old doctor excitedly said: "Actually, I have already discovered the clues in your recipes. You like to eat jujubes recently. It is probably a dragon child, and you have been pregnant for more than a month, but... Is the dragon child a dragon or a human? I don't know how to serve you!"
"His father said that the little dragon man is in human form, but it may grow opposite dragon horns..."
Concubine Longzi got up and stroked her belly, looking at the heavy snow outside the house, she said sadly: "Oh~ this dragon came here at a bad time, my father is still guarding the border, and my brothers are fighting hard at the beach, I can't have a big belly Shall I go to court?"
"Your Highness! This is a happy event..."
A minister excitedly said: "This year's auspicious snow is warm, and you welcome the dragon son again. God bless me, Dashun, and this is a real dragon son. Who will be able to compete with my Dashun in the future? The Ministry of Rites must announce it to the world immediately. , rejoice with the people!"
"Let's go to the Ministry of Rites, I have to find the dead ghost dragon to settle the score..."
Concubine Longzi clutched her belly and quickly left the cabinet, but she turned into the tunnel alone, looked at the snowflakes that kept falling every day, and murmured to herself: "Do you owe me, or do I owe you?" Yes, really... hit once!"
