The feudal lord is on Taobao every day

After coaxing Cui Tong, a simple fool, Xie Jingan heaved a sigh of relief, and then asked someone to call Director Qin over.

Now Xie Jingan has a novel idea for a while, Director Qin is often summoned by him, and when he hears Xie Jingan calling him, he knows that this King Shun, who is completely different from before, has some new ideas, so he hastily dropped the affairs in hand and ran away He entered the flower hall.

Although Xie Jingan said that he was becoming more and more like the boss Huang Shiren who squeezed his employees, he was still kind-hearted after all. Seeing Manager Qin trotting all the way out of breath, he felt distressed and asked him to hold a hot cup of tea on the chair. Chazhan calmed down for a while, and then said in a reproachful tone: "The king called you here just to ask something, and it's not something important, just walk slowly, what do you need to run for?" , You don’t even look at what the weather is like now. It’s cold and the road is slippery. What if you fall? This king will point you to take care of the palace for me. Let this king find another person as capable as you."

Although Director Qin was used to the change of King Shun's approachability now, he still felt warm in his heart when he heard these words, and couldn't help the tears welling up in his eyes. Standing up and saluting, he said: "Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness. The little one will live up to His Highness's expectations. You will definitely take good care of yourself and take care of your Royal Highness's palace for the rest of your life."

He won't need to take care of it for the rest of his life, and he's not really Huang Shiren. When he reaches his age, he still has to retire to take care of his life. It's just that there is no such thing as retirement in this day and age. Xie Jing'an just rolled these words around before swallowing them back. , let him sit down again with a smile, and then explained the reason for calling him: "I remember that when I was in Chang'an, I heard that there was a kind of cloth made of white folds in Yangzhou. It was soft and soft, and it was made into clothes." The upper body and the back are very comfortable. When I was inspecting Pingzhou, I heard from a foreigner that this white cloth can be used to make cotton clothes to keep out the cold. It is much warmer than clothes made of silk. This king wants to use this cloth and white cloth Diezi tried to make two pieces to see the effect, what does Manager Qin think?"

Can white folds be made into cotton clothes?Director Qin was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. He quickly suppressed the surprised expression on his face, thought for a while, and replied respectfully: "Return to Your Highness, if His Highness is still in Chang'an, although the cloth made of white folds is It's a bit rare, but it's not hard to find, but now that His Highness is far away in Mozhou, it's hard to see Shu brocade, let alone the cloth made of white folds. From a small point of view, it's only a wealthy family. People who are very expensive have some at home, but I don’t think there are any shops selling cloth outside.”

Although Xie Jingan had prepared himself, he was still a little disappointed when he heard what Director Qin said, but cotton clothes are very important to him, so Xie Jingan said extremely unwillingly: "Although the king's fiefdom is barren, there are There are so many rich families in thirteen states, there are always shops that want to supply them, you send people to look outside first, if you really can't find it, I will think of a way."

At worst, wait seven or eight days for the convoy of the rich family to transport silver to see if they have this kind of cloth in their hands. At least he will send someone to take the fat man Yao Bin's boat and go south to Yangzhou to buy the assembly. It’s not enough to keep up with the addition, but the tens of thousands of people in their fief are in need. Waiting for the spring to issue an edict to encourage the people to open up wasteland and farmland, and expand cotton planting step by step. Although there is no guarantee in a few years Everyone in his fief can afford to wear it, but at least most of the common people can afford it.

Since Xie Jing'an insisted, Manager Qin naturally couldn't say anything, he just stopped talking, and finally agreed.

After temporarily arranging the matter of the cotton clothes, Xie Jingan asked Cui Tong to extinguish the fire stove connected to the fire wall of the flower hall, plunged into the study by himself, and began to carefully trace the pictures of the products he found on Taobao, one stroke at a time, waiting for Xie Jingan After sketching, it turned out to be a blueprint of a children's bicycle with two wheels for balance and only for children to ride. This was one of the gifts he gave to his clever and lovely sister after much deliberation.

……

Lin Yan returned to the palace from the city guard's office, first went back to the bedroom to wash up and changed into clean clothes, and went to Lin Wan's courtyard alone without taking the servants assigned to him by Chief Qin to accompany him.

Since he came to Mozhou from Tanzhou after he recovered from his injury, he has been running around for the errand assigned to him by King Shun. He rarely returned to the palace before dark, which is the scene he saw outside the Equipment Department today. Somewhat touched, and thinking that in a few days he will lead his troops north to Yingzhou to suppress the bandits, and he doesn't know if he will come back alive after this trip, so after thinking about it, he decided to come back early tonight to see how his sister is doing these days , by the way say goodbye.

In his memory, when his father was not convicted, his younger sister read books, played the piano every day, and embroidered a handkerchief or purse when she felt like it. When they were in Tanzhou, they couldn't help but the younger sister suffered a lot.

Now that she has entered the palace and is served by the servants sent by Chief Qin, the life of the younger sister should be similar to that at home, but she does not want to enter the courtyard of the younger sister. The younger sister neither does needlework nor reads any novels. But the maidservant told him: "Since the girl was summoned by His Highness, she has been staying in the study, not knowing what to write, and even forgot to eat dinner."

Hearing the maid said that His Highness had summoned Lin Wan to speak today, Lin Yan was a little surprised, but he didn't think anything bad about it. After all, according to what he knew about His Highness these days, His Highness is not a womanizer. The reason why Lin Wan was called over was probably because of some errand.

Your Highness has come up with new ideas these days, but there are not many people who can do the work under his command. Even the immature children like Cui Xiaoguan have come in handy. One can imagine how scarce His Highness is.

Lin Yan really wanted to introduce some talents for His Highness, but now his status is not as good as before, and the talented and learned people he met in the past are all nobles, or children of aristocratic families. Will pretend not to know.

When I was in Tanzhou, I got a few people with high martial arts skills, but those people were mostly guilty, and His Highness saved only one of them. If you save too many, I'm afraid it will cause people to criticize. Lin Yan thought about it After thinking about it for a while, I finally gave up the idea.

Thinking like this, Lin Yan quickly stepped into the study room. Sure enough, as the maid said, Lin Wan was writing something on the paper. Lin Yan didn't regain consciousness when he entered the study room. He raised his head abruptly, and said in surprise: "Why did brother come today? But the guards of the city were dismissed early, or what is the matter for brother to find his sister?"

While talking, Lin Wan let the flow take its course and covered the handwriting-covered paper with a new piece of paper, then stood up and sat down on the kang, reached for the teacup and poured tea herself, waiting for Lin Yan's answer with a smile.

Lin Yan was not an eloquent person, and he was blunt in front of outsiders, let alone in front of his sister, so he immediately said directly: "I heard from Xiuping next to you that His Highness called you over today, why? work? But there is an errand for you?"

Lin Wan originally planned not to tell Lin Yan for the time being, but now that Lin Yan mentioned it, Lin Wan hesitated to answer, hesitated for a while, and said honestly: "Brother is really clever, Your Highness called my sister over today, and it is indeed entrusted to me. An errand, but this errand is unheard of, I am afraid that it will not suit His Highness's wishes, and I am racking my brains now."

Hearing that His Highness really gave his younger sister an errand, Lin Yan was not surprised, but said curiously: "Tell me, what kind of errand His Highness entrusted to you, maybe my brother can give you the details, explain it. Meet your urgent needs.

Having said all this, Lin Wan didn't hold back, and went straight to roughly recounting what Xie Jingan had said to her earlier. After hearing this, Lin Yan pondered for a while before saying: "Since Your Highness entrusted you with this task, obviously It seems to us that His Highness has intentions, which is unheard of, even a bit of fantasy, but what His Highness said may not be true, after all, what is His Highness doing now that we have seen before?"

This is true, Lin Wan followed Lin Yan's words and thought about it. She was a little nervous at first, but immediately calmed down, and asked Lin Yan's reason for coming.

Lin Yan had made up his mind before coming here. Now that he and Lin Wan depended on each other for life, he should not hide anything from the other party, but when he thought about the bandit suppression, he still didn't say what he said. Tell me what you have seen and heard outside.

Lin Yan was quite moved when he saw it, even though Lin Wan only heard about it and never saw it with her own eyes, her heart was still agitated. After a while, she said with emotion: "His Royal Highness Shun Wang is really different from other Highnesses, except that His Royal Highness is more concerned about the people's responsibility. People's livelihood, which other Highnesses are not superior? Every day, they only know how to enjoy themselves, and the common people are good enough if they don't eat fish. How have they ever been as condescending and approachable as His Highness Shun Wang? Besides, His Highness Shun Wang is not only gentle, There are so many fantastic ideas, but they are not the right way, His Highness is a vassal king, he should manage the fief carefully, how can he have such close contacts with merchants, if it spreads, it will hinder His Highness's statement."

Lin Wan sighed as she spoke, but Lin Yan didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "What is the great way? What is the small way? Your Highness's careful management of the fief is the great way, but is it the small way for His Highness to do business with merchants in exchange for silver taels? Your Highness has just arrived in the fief. I also know the situation of His Highness's fiefdom, if His Highness didn't have so many wonderful ideas and exchanged so much money from merchants, even if His Highness has amazing talents, how would he manage the fief? Only rely on the annual taxes of the thirteen states?"
