Concubine Fang's words made Zhou and Emperor Zhang even more interested.

The soap, perfume, and this fragrance, Zhou and Queen Zhang did not continue to ask about it, but these new words have rippled in their hearts.

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt bored. He had known that he would not have been here for a long time, but now he was leaving, and he would not have left. He listened to these three women with embarrassment, saying that they were washing and skin care. Emperor Hongzhi was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.

Just like that, it would be better to listen to Zhu Houzhao talking nonsense in front of him. Although Zhu Houzhao's words occasionally harsh, they are better than this one.

A moment later, the child woke up and was brought by the wet nurse. The wet nurse came from the West. Now, she has put on new clothes and dressed up, and there is no trace of farmers.

When Concubine Fang saw the child coming, she immediately ignored everything and hugged the child, looked left and right, and liked him no matter how she looked.

At first, this child was just a big mouse, but now he is like a kitten, curled up in a cradle, his eyes are light and light, and he lets him rise and fall. I stand still, eat and drink, and my eyes face the void, and I feel at ease and contentment.

Concubine Fang's tears fell like broken beads.

Emperor Hongzhi finally had the opportunity to interrupt. Concubine Fang was his daughter-in-law. He wanted to come over and tease the child. However, due to Concubine Fang, it was difficult to move forward. He only smiled and said with a smile: "I asked the Ministry of Rites, and named Zhu Zaimo, Mo, which is Hei. Although this word is not good, officials from the Ministry of Rites said that the sages and wise men brought in the ink and wrote. It was precisely because of the ink that the classics and great ways were able to survive for generations, and the world was bright. I took this Sun as Mo to make the world clear."

"The name given by the father is very good, Zhu Zaimo..." Concubine Fang stared at the child, and Zhu Zaimo still looked calm and composed, leisurely and contented, and looked like others were dying.

Queen Zhang smiled and said, "When the little vassal town was only older than him last year, Fang Xiaofan was a little naughty and cried, but look at him, he looked calm and leisurely, everything was high and nothing was concerned about his own..."

Concubine Fang, with red eyes, burst into tears and smiled. She hugged her for a long time. When Zhu Zaimo started to hum, the wet nurse fucked her clothes...

Emperor Hongzhi looked like he couldn't bear to read. It was a tragedy. This wet nurse was good at everything and had enough milk. You could tell at a glance that she was a person of duty, but there was only one thing, that is...

Emperor Hongzhi turned his eyes aside and stood up: "Okay, I should go to the warm room, the emperor's grandmother, and Sun Chen left."

The next morning, an eunuch came over and arrived at the West Mountain panting.

"The Chief, the Chief... I come here on the orders of the Empress Dowager and Empress Zhang..."

"Oh." Fang Jifan casually said: "What's the matter?"

The eunuch was anxious to stamp his feet: "Ask you about soap and perfume."

“Soap and perfume…”

Sure enough... I read that Empress Dowager and Empress Zhang were not wrong.

They are indeed very particular about humanity.

I heard that Concubine Fang entered the palace yesterday, and then she sent some perfume and soap to the palace.

I think the Empress Dowager and Empress Zhang have already tried it.

As for the effect...hehe...

Fang Jifan said: "This... because of insufficient raw materials, there are many soaps, but this perfume is a rare thing. It is made of the Western Regions Lavender. I only have these bottles. I was going to use them for His Royal Highness Princess. This is why I would like to use them for His Royal Highness Princess. I would like to do this. Soap. When I asked His Royal Highness Princess to enter the palace, I would give you ten or eight. As for the perfume, I can only give two bottles to the palace. No matter how many, I really don't have any, and I am not a magician. This perfume is a strange thing equivalent to gold, and I can't buy it even if I want to."

The eunuch looked disappointed.

The soap is really dry when used for washing. The Empress Dowager and Empress Zhang both praised this. There are so many soaps you can make. The workshop will be built soon. High-end ones can be made with whale oil, and low-end ones can be made with lard.

And perfume... It is important to know that lavender is the best raw material for making perfume. Other flowers always have a lot of meaning, but this lavender cannot be cultivated in the pass, because lavender is the opposite of other flowers. The more wet and rainy the place, the more difficult it will be to grow. When you gain a firm foothold in Hexi in the future, you will cultivate it in large quantities. Now... you can only try to make the sign out first.

Zhu Houzhao stood aside and was amused when she heard the Empress Dowager and her mother were anxious to ask for this.

The way of wealth, this is a way of wealth.

Zhu Houzhao needs money now, and he is poor.

People's desires cannot be satisfied. This is the case when Zhu Houzhao encountered. There are so many women in this world, even ten people, and one woman is willing to consume this and she will make a fortune.

He was silly laughing aside.

Perfume is equivalent to gold... and to make perfume, you have to cultivate flowers outside the pass, um... My father of my palace is really useless. He is ashamed of his ancestors, and he actually threw the land of Hexi to the Tatars for nothing, feeling heartbroken and heartbroken...

The eunuch had hurried back and reported his life.

Zhu Houzhao pulled Fang Jifan to the side: "Lao Fang, what should I do?"

"What should I do?" Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao who was anxious and probably understood what he was thinking.

"Buy and sell our perfume. Think about the Queen Mother, think about the Queen Mother, think about the world, and think about so many women who haven't used perfume. Will your heart... be...will it hurt?"

Fang Jifan was calm and composed: "No hurry, no hurry."

Zhu Houzhao frowned: "What does it mean...Hexi, you didn't say that this perfume requires planting flowers in Hexi to get the essence from the flowers and make perfume. We have to find a way to plant flowers in Hexi..."

Fang Jifan said lightly: "Wait a minute."

Zhu Houzhao was anxious: "What are you waiting for?"

Fang Jifan sighed: "When my beloved disciple Jiang Chen, I, as a teacher, have been thinking about him all the time."

“…”

Jiang Chen and his party set out from the capital and traveled westward. They traveled through Guanzhong, and then went out of Guanzhong and traveled westward along the canyon.

The entire Hexi River is a corridor that almost follows the turbid Yellow River, traveling through the canyon. On both sides are continuous mountains. These numerous mountains have almost no end, one valley next to another, and eventually, it converges into the throat of Guanzhong.

Further forward is Lanzhou. There was countless stacked mountains. Because it rained a few days ago, it was not heavy, but it caused it to pile up for many years. There was a little green on the bare loess. Tenacious weeds emerged from the cracks of the soil and rocks, and clusters were clustered.

Once upon a time, it was quite prosperous.

Because this is the only way to enter the Western Regions. There are many Western Regions. If you want to pay tribute, you must enter the Western Regions from here.

The so-called tribute is actually just official trade. The Ming Dynasty limits the scale of entry into the pass of various countries. The officials of various countries recruit a group of merchants and travel through the Western Regions with various goods, passing through the Hexi Corridor, and reaching the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty then gave them various silks and porcelains, making them return with a full load.

Therefore, this also led to the prosperity of the entire Hexi Corridor. Those Western Region merchants with various names led camels and horses and secretly carried various private goods here to trade in Lanzhou and other places. Once there were countless Han people here. Because of the Silk Road, they arrived in Lanzhou and other places. They settled down nearby. Outside Lanzhou City, the Han people built military fortresses and built military guards. The military and civilians reclaimed fields outside this fortress.

Although the land here is barren, there will still be harvests along the irrigated land near the Yellow River. The merchants from the Western Regions who come and go here also bring wealth to the military and civilians here.

It is precisely because of this that the Tatars were eyeing the place.

Here, there were both lush pastures, valleys like Jiangnan outside the Great Wall, deserts, and loess with mountains.

But... all the prosperity now has disappeared.

Countless fields have been reclaimed, and now the military fortresses that were once built have only been left with broken walls. The villages that once smoke from cooking have already become empty.

This place... has become a barren land, and the cultivated fields have become pastures. The once crowded land has now become the place where the herdsmen can shelter the wind and set up tents at night.

There is only a lonely Lanzhou city, and I stand here, outside the city... there is only a lot of loess. At this time... it is winter, and the sky suddenly starts snowflakes, and the snowflakes are flying.

In the team traveling west, Jiang Chen saw countless desolation after traveling west from the prosperous land, so that his heart also sank.

He resolutely took his men to continue traveling through Lanzhou and continued to travel westward as an inspector.

Going further west, no one can protect their safety.

There were dozens of them, hundreds of horses, some riding on people, some carrying various tools and weapons. They were wearing sweaters, covered with a layer of cloak, and walked with difficulty in facing the snowfalls all over the sky.

Further west, there are various military guards. They once had names, some were called Pinglu Guards, some were called Zhenxi Guards, and some were called Zhenxi Guards. These once famous military guards represent the glorious years of those years. During the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Wen, countless men were ordered to go out of the pass, using flesh and blood to fight against the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the canyons, wilderness, and ancient cities.

Under this loess, countless lush white bones are buried. No one has ever remembered their names.

Jiang Chen frowned. He looked at the snowy sky and breathed white breath in his mouth. Suddenly, he wanted to recite poems, but suddenly, it was like a thorn in his throat. The cold wind blew on his face like a knife. That night, they raised a bonfire among the broken walls of Pingluwei and took a break for a while.

Beneath this broken wall, there is a stone stone that has been covered with snow and has long been unrecognizable. Jiang Chen wiped the snow and vaguely saw the spots of stone stone writing: "In the 13th year of Hongwu, Feng Sheng, Duke of Song, was ordered to suppress the thieves, and attacked tens of thieves here, and took more than 2,700 heads..."

The crooked stele and stonework can no longer be seen clearly after that.
