Chapter 78: The old man has a bad heart

When everyone stood up to pack their things and were about to leave, Wei Xiaobai spoke again.

"Another thing, who cares about this?" Wei Xiaobai took out the flat plate with a pattern of sugarcane on it.

This thing is not eaten as food, and sugar is not a must, and there is not enough manpower. Tian Siyu said that to give Wei Xiaobai this face, two minor officials will be arranged to come to Zhan Po and arrange for Zhan Po's people to be responsible for some of this matter, and there will be hundreds of acres first.

When Tian Siyu saw the sugarcane, he asked Wei Xiaobai: "The prince consort, where is the loom."

"For you." Wei Xiaobai gave Tian Siyu a roll of drawings. Tian Siyu didn't even take them with his hands, but took off his clothes and wrapped them in his clothes. When he went back, he arranged for the drawing master to draw a new copy. If Wei Xiaobai didn't ask for it, he would carefully save it.

The origin of sugarcane is in Tianzhu, which was planted as early as the middle of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the sugarcane yield here is very large, sugar is not a must-have for daily life. At least not for Qiongya at the moment, so these people don’t care much.

The day after Wei Xiaobai gave the yarn machine and loom drawings to Tian Siyu, forty small trough boats with a total of 100 materials began to transport cargo to Leizhou.

In Leizhou, Xiao Ping, who had studied in the Xiao family, received the goods as the person in charge.

"Ping Ge'er, in addition to rice, there are four samples. Everything is done according to the rules we have set."

"I know." Xiao Ping picked up the list and looked at it, saying, "But the quantity is not easy to determine at the moment. According to the rules, how many bluegrass can be returned to the indigo in the future and how many meters it will be replaced. I don't know how much bluegrass can produce, so I still have to arrange a few reliable trial productions."

The minor official in charge here is Ye Xiaozhou, who was originally a minor official in Linjiang Prefecture.

Ye Xiaozhou said: "I can't wait any more and I'm already urging the goods. Whatever you suffer is a small matter, mainly because of the good quality."

"Well, I'll ask the wife at home to watch it." After Xiao Ping finished speaking, he signed the list, and then took one copy in duplicate.

The largest of the four samples this time is not bluegrass, but numb.

There is only a small part of abaca, a large amount of ramie, Zhan Po’s ramie. This hemp is of good quality and has been tried by craftsmen from the Princess’s Mansion. This hemp is very fine and finely decorated with high-quality woven clothes.

Especially made summer cloth, this kind of hemp is quite good.

The current treatment process of abaca is not available for the time being, so in their eyes, the huge production of ramie in Zhanpo is the first choice for now.

Wei Xiaobai originally believed that Zhan Po’s amount of ramie was not large.

This is not much compared to abama, but for the current demand in the Qiongya Princess Mansion, the raw materials are of massive scale.

The ministers of the Princess' Mansion were busy and they had just joined the Lanjiang team of the Princess' Mansion. Some civil servants were so tired that they could fall asleep even when they stood.

Wei Xiaobai, Wei's eldest son-in-law.

I spent three days to get my own special porcelain, very, very high-end bucket.

The water comes from the mountain spring water diversion, and the wooden throttle valve is based on the counterweight of stone flakes.

Then a canal of several dozen feet in length was dug under the house, which was specifically responsible for introducing wastewater into the river channel.

Wow!

Life is finally comfortable.

In the squat stance, Wei Xiaobai said that he had had enough.

In a blink of an eye, it has been seven days since the wedding. This day is so quiet that I slept until I woke up naturally every day.

On the afternoon of the seventh day, Yu Zhengqing came, followed by Qi Youliang, who was black-eyed, and then the two servants carried two baskets on their backs and sat in Wei Xiaobai's tea room without any politeness. They found the best wild tea buds that Xue Qi brought to Wei Xiaobai.

"Old man, why do you have time to come to me for tea today?" Wei Xiaobai sat down in the guest seat.

While making tea, Qi Youliang said slowly: "I got a pair of words the day before yesterday and came to give them to the prince to watch. If you like it, you can stay."

Yu Zhengqing handed Wei Xiaobai a book scroll.

Wei Xiaobai opened it and found that it was really genuine. Bai Juyi’s Song of Everlasting Sorrow is 100% original. This is a good thing, and it is definitely a first-class collectible.

Wei Xiaobai happily rolled up the scroll again. When it was halfway through, Wei Xiaobai stared at Yu Zhengqing and said, "Old man, you are not a good person."

"I have a guaranteed character." Yu Zhengqing tasted a sip of tea with a calm look on his face.

Wei Xiaobai pointed to the book scroll: "What does this mean?"

"Give a gift!"

"Nonsense, the classic of this poem lies in this sentence. Spring night is short and the day is high, and the king will not go to court early from now on." Wei Xiaobai is not a child. As an old captain, Wei Xiaobai knows no less than Yu Zhengqing.

Yu Zhengqing smiled and said, "Seven days have accumulated so many files. Xiaobai, you say, if you want to deal with it, you should let the palace down. In fact, you have taken advantage of this matter. The work of each yamen is done by one person. If you look at this file, you can do it by two people, half light, half light."

Wei Xiaobai grabbed his scalp and looked at the two baskets of files, and his scalp felt tighter.

After thinking about it, Wei Xiaobai said, "I have a good idea about the cabinet..." Before Wei Xiaobai finished speaking, Li Zhaoning pushed the door and entered: "Teacher, this palace is lazy. Zi Yue, sent these files to the study, now."

Wei Xiaobai was unhappy: "Old man, according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, how many days will the wedding be during the holiday?"

"If you follow the rules of the Tang Dynasty, I, you, sacrifice wine together, even if you do not behead you, you will be exiled three times or four times and three thousand miles away, and let us sit here and have tea. In extraordinary times, if it is a prosperous era in the world, let alone nine days, even ninety days, I will take the lead and let the son-in-law and Your Highness forget these official duties."

Yu Zhengqing's words made Wei Xiaobai feel ashamed.

However, Wei Xiaobai was thick-skinned, but his face turned slightly red, and he became righteous in an instant: "Old man, the prince consort of the Tang Dynasty is all decorations, just give some money to pay, don't expect this prince consort to share half of the official duties."

"It's not for me to share the burden."

Qi Youliang suddenly said: "I have a suggestion to give the prince consort twenty soldiers and five hundred slaves. The craftsmen can draw fifteen people at any time as the upper limit, which can be replaced. The prince consort finds something to do by himself. If he is idle, he will be afraid that people will say something bad, even if he is talking, it's fine."

Yu Zhengqing added: "It's not a slave, it's a low-ranking citizen."

"Yes, the people." Qi Youliang immediately changed his words.

"This." Wei Xiaobai also felt that just an idle person would have a bad effect.

Just as Wei Xiaobai was considering it, Qi Youliang said: "Mr. Prince Consort, the porcelain shops in Leizhou will come here to meet His Highness these days. This is not as good as the Prince Consort."
