Strange love across time and space

Su Qing said disapprovingly, "In this era, the two countries are at war with each other at every turn, and too many people die. In addition, the life of the common people is difficult, and many people starve to death. If the court really publicizes this, the birth rate will be greatly reduced." If the population is small, the army will be small. The court would rather let more mothers and babies die than lower the birth rate!" Su Qixuan was so angry that he put down his bowl and chopsticks and said angrily, "You don't take the lives of women and children seriously! I'll go there another day. Ask Dr. Ding!" He then looked at Jiang and said guiltily, "If I had known earlier, I would have had to wait until you were twenty to have Rui'er again!" Jiang rolled his eyes at him, "Okay, it's too late to regret. Besides, not only You don’t know, I guess not many people in the country know!” Su Qing snorted, “Huh, no matter what era you are in, women will always be victims.”

In the next few days, Su Qing did not go out, and the small workshop in the mansion was repaired. During the repair process, Su Qing asked the craftsmen to paint all the door frame furniture brown based on her own aesthetics and the experience of later generations. In fact, Su Qing wanted to use white, but there was no white paint in this era. He also renovated several rooms of the workers. Although they still slept in Datong bunks, they were covered with thick mattresses, and each worker was assigned one. A locked cabinet. The cabinet was designed by Su Qing based on the ones used in later university dormitories. It was a large wardrobe against the wall, divided into several compartments. There was a lock on the door of each compartment, and the key allowed everyone to enter it. Each worker keeps it by himself. They also specially customized uniform work clothes for the workers, which made the maids and women in other courtyards envious. Su Qing and Mrs. Jiang discussed again that from now on, everyone in the mansion, regardless of maids or servants, would be given a piece of soap every month. This made the servants extremely happy. They had long heard that the soap developed by their own lady was even used by the palace. The ladies there were all full of praises. Now, I can use it every day. If I had known, many servants of dignitaries in the capital have never seen soap before. They would have bragging rights when going out in the future.

Two days later, the 10,000 pieces of soap ordered by the palace were finally ready. Early in the morning, Jiang and Su Qing freshened up. After breakfast, they personally led two carriages to deliver the soap to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Kang The father-in-law led Su Qing and his wife into the house very enthusiastically, and said with a smile, "Why do you two come in person? Just let the servants come to see you off!" Jiang said politely, "This is the residence of the Su Mansion and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I have to personally watch this business before I feel at ease." Eunuch Kang said, "The ladies in the palace have asked me several times in the past few days, why the soap hasn't been delivered yet! Oops, I've seen those ladies now. We all have to take a detour! Now, each palace can get a lot of it. I, my slave, can finally feel at ease!" Su Qing also smiled and said, "Thanks to the ladies who like it so much, I will wait until the end of the year. Spring is here, and we will launch better soaps one after another. When the time comes, bring them over for Eunuch Kang to try!" Eunuch Kang suddenly said happily, "Oh, Miss Su is really good at talking. I have been using the soaps you gave me these days. I feel The skin on my body is much more hydrated, and many people asked me when they saw the slave: What kind of powder did Eunuch Kang use? It smells so good? Hahaha, how can this slave use powder? They all use this soap to bathe. The fragrance!" Su Qing thought what Eunuch Kang said was interesting, so she flattered him and said, "Really? No wonder I looked younger than before when I saw Eunuch Kang today!" Eunuch Kang raised his orchid finger, "Miss Su, this is a compliment. Where are you, my slave, or are you praising the soap you produced?" Everyone laughed. At this time, the tall eunuch named Xiao Linzi came in and said, "Master, please count them all. Ten thousand pieces of soap, no more, no less!" Eunuch Kang stood up and said to Mrs. Jiang, "Mrs. Su, please come here. , I will ask someone to pay you the remaining silver." Jiang and Su Qing followed Eunuch Kang happily.

On the way out of the palace, I met King Jin at a fork in the road. Rather than saying it was a chance encounter, it would be better to say that King Jin knew in advance that Su Qing and her daughter were coming to the palace to deliver goods, so he waited here specially. After the couple bowed to Prince Jin, Prince Jin said that the soap in his palace was about to run out. Today, they happened to follow Su Qing and his daughter back to Su's mansion to order another batch of soap. Neither Jiang nor Su Qing were fools. They knew that King Jin only entered the Su Mansion under the pretense of a soap order, but actually had other matters.

Returning to the Su Mansion, King Jin said to Jiang, "I have some things that I want to talk to Miss Su alone. I wonder if Mrs. Su will allow it?" Although Jiang knew that this was unreasonable, he was a prince, and if he didn't agree, If King Jin becomes emperor in the future, it would be bad for him to trouble the Su family, so he has no choice but to agree.

Su Qing did not take Prince Jin to his own yard, but took him to the main hall. After letting Qingzhu serve tea, he saw a stern-faced phantom walking in from outside the house and standing behind Su Qing. King Jin glanced at the phantom. To be honest, every time he saw the phantom, King Jin felt uncomfortable all over. He couldn't help asking, "Miss Su, we are at your home. There is no need to bring a personal bodyguard, right?" I thought Su Qing asked Phantom to go out. Unexpectedly, Su Qing smiled at him and said, "It's okay. Phantom is one of our own. Your Highness, what do you want to tell me?" King Jin was furious, but he had no choice but to take a deep breath and said, " Last time you asked me to add ore powder to the molten iron and wrap the wrought iron with molten pig iron to make weapons. I asked the craftsmen to try it, and sure enough, the weapons made were better than my sword in terms of hardness and toughness. Quite a few. I want to ask Miss Su, how did you know this method?" "Uh..." Su Qing choked and thought for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, I said I dreamed about an old fairy with a white beard. Mine, do you believe it?" In fact, Su Qing originally wanted to say that she saw it in a journal, but she was afraid that King Jin would ask her to find the journal, so she had to say that she saw it in a dream. I saw King Jin looking at Su Qing with an expression like "I believe you are a ghost", paused and said, "Okay, I believe it." Then he smiled at Su Qing and said, "Since Miss Su told me this method, then I I would like to ask Miss Su if she is willing to let me tell my father about this method. If our army in Yongan State can use such good weapons, then we will have more chances of winning when facing invasion from other countries. Of course, I am sure Ask the emperor for a decree to reward Miss Su!" Su Qing shook her head and said, "I told your highness that this method was originally intended to benefit more people. Your highness just told the emperor that I don't want the reward. Your highness was making weapons by the way. Just make two daggers and give them to me."

King Jin was a little surprised: "Miss Su, do you know how big your contribution is this time? It is very likely that the number of deaths of our Yong'an Kingdom soldiers in the war will be reduced by half! How can you not want a reward?"
