"Madam, if you ask me, you are also very strange."
"Most people will regard Guanzi as a love rival. If they don't take strict precautions and give her a bad look every day, at least they won't welcome her."
"But how can you..."
No matter how deep this statement is, it is difficult to go on.
To put it nicely, Wang Mi really doubted that Xie Minghui had true feelings for him and didn't love him enough.
To put it harshly, they usually have a very good relationship as sisters and have never had any conflicts.
It makes people wonder if there is any legend about the two of them being good at polishing mirrors...
No way!
I am so handsome, everyone in Jiankang City loves him.
Anyone who wants to marry him has simply crossed the threshold.
He wouldn't have done that!
A green-haired tortoise?
The key is, if you are sexually attracted to someone of the same sex, it is still within the scope of normal cognition, but if you are stolen by that little lady Suanzi...
Then stop living!
The strange expression on someone's face confused Xie Minghui.
Husband, why...
His face is sometimes blue and sometimes black.
Could it be that I ate something dirty and had a bad stomach?
"Say it!"
"Don't you love me?" In an instant, the hero of the romance novel was attracted to her!
I feel a little bit scratchy.
"How could you push me to another woman?"
A series of questions left Minghui stunned on the spot.
"Zhiyuan, where do you start talking about this?"
"I want Garlic to follow you because I care about you!"
"It's also for the sake of garlic."
Wang Mi drooped his eyelids and didn't believe it at all.
"Think about it, Suanzi has lived in the palace for such a long time. Not to mention her family members, even the people in the palace probably think that she belongs to you."
"She has been yours for a long time. If you send her back to Wuxing now, what are you going to say?"
"Are you saying that you have nothing to do with her?"
"Just forget it?"
"Do you think it fits?"
Xie Minghui's words really touched Wang Mi.
He suddenly realized that he had indeed been careless in this matter.
In the late Jin Dynasty, when the style was open and open, a woman's reputation was still somewhat important.
Although it is not comparable to other dynasties, it is really hard to explain based on his relationship with Shen Suanzi.
After all, garlic is not a relative of our family, so it is normal to welcome and send it away.
Sending Garlic back to Wuxing at this time will really give people the feeling of starting a mess and finally giving up, kicking the girl away after getting tired of playing with him.
This is not only bad for Garlic, but also bad for him, Wang Mi.
It seems that this giant Buddha really cannot be sent away for a while.
"My lady is right to remind you, I didn't think enough about it."
"But we can also let her stay in the palace."
"I think you two have a pretty good relationship and can be each other's companions, so I feel relieved."
Right.
Of course, there is one less thing to worry about.
Xie Minghui shook her head and refused to accept his move at all.
"Don't come here. I'm in Jiankang. My family is around me. What can happen to me?"
"But you, you don't know when you will go to the battlefield. If there is no one around you to restrain you, you will go to heaven!"
I still know God!
There are quite a lot of little words!
Xie Minghui knew very well that the buddies around Wang Mi had always been on the same page with him, especially on the issue of war.
Even when Wang Mi didn't want to fight, they might even encourage him.
These people don't care about her at all.
After much deliberation, Shen Suanzi was the only one who could be relied upon.
"With her here, I feel relieved."
"If you want to go to Jingkou and fight in the north, take her with you. Otherwise, don't leave this gate!"
Xie Minghui frowned, as tight as a big female cat.
Wang Mi smiled and thought, this is my house, and the door belongs to my house. I can come in when I want and leave when I want. Can she control it?
Although he thought so, he also knew that if Xie Minghui hadn't cared about him, she wouldn't have endured her nausea and placed Shen Suanzi next to him.
"But, are you so relieved?"
"What are you picturing?"
Xie Minghui laughed and put on a secretive expression.
"Of course it's because Garlic's luck is so good!"
"We have also talked a lot these days. I heard that before arriving in Jingkou, she had stayed in many places such as Xiangyang and Kuaiji for a long time."
"I have been on the battlefield with you and experienced many hardships, but I have not suffered any damage."
"I thought at that time, this little lady must be very lucky."
"Some people are like this. It's obviously a very dangerous situation, but others are in danger, but she can stay safe."
"Among tens of thousands of people, only one lucky person like this can come out."
Such people are so rare, but some people don't even know how to cherish them.
The expression on Xie Minghui's face at this moment was as if she was looking at a fool.
"so what……"
Wang Mi was speechless.
What are her thoughts?
Minghui said confidently: "That's why I want her to lend you some of her luck!"
"With her here, I believe everything will be safe for you."
Wang Mi: Daqing considers Shen Suanzi as a lucky charm.
Just take it with you!
However, he could not guarantee how far the relationship would develop.
…………
The next day, the Kang palace was built and the workshop was built.
The date to leave Jiankang and set off for Jingkou is getting closer and closer.
Although the persuasion before leaving was not very good, it can even be said that it completely failed to achieve its purpose.
But it doesn't matter.
What is supposed to come will eventually come.
There is also no shortage of things that need to be done.
And now, the most important thing for him to complete is the big and small things in the workshop.
All his possessions and hopes are here.
In the general's workshop, Puchao, the general's minister, saw the palace's carriage and immediately greeted it.
"Shilang Wang, why did you come here by car today?"
It's actually a bit fresh.
Pu Chao knew that Wang Mi had come back from the battlefield, and his behavior was naturally different from that of other young men from aristocratic families in Jiankang City.
On weekdays, when I go to Jiangda's workshop, I always travel on horseback, neither riding in an ox-cart nor a horse-drawn carriage.
Hence this question.
Wang Mi came closer and said with a smile: "Can Pujiang Zuo not think of it?"
"In a few days, I will rush to Jingkou. I came here today to take a look. As long as the lightweight weapons are easy to carry, they will be loaded into the car and taken away."
Such a clever idea certainly came from Wang Mi's clever little mind.
Those weapons placed in the general's workshop are simply golden eggs tempting crime.
It's more secure to leave it at home.
I can take a look at it from time to time and feel comfortable.
Pu Chao agreed wholeheartedly, but for some reason, his expression became a little strange after hearing this.
It's like there is a ghost in my heart.
The two of them passed by the big archway and came to a place full of workshops.
Seeing his old acquaintances all busy at their respective posts, Wang Mi nodded happily.
Up to now, making various weapons has become the top priority in the general workshop.
Whether it is a blacksmith workshop, a carpenter workshop or a specially set up gunpowder workshop, it is a busy scene.
Correspondingly, other workshops, such as those specializing in making gold and silverware, incense candles, and lamp oil, were much deserted.
Many craftsmen even took the initiative to give up their original jobs and went to help in various busy workshops.
In recent days, Pu Chao briefly explained the work of the workshop to Wang Mi. According to what he said, Wang Mi had taught the craftsmen how to make gunpowder, artillery and other weapons.
Almost all the masters in the workshop were devoted to the production, and many other errands were also stopped.
The Queen Mother also has a share of credit here.
After all, Wang Zhenying is a girl from an aristocratic family. She has seen the world and handles things decently.
Since she took charge of the harem, the extravagance and waste in the harem has been curbed a lot.
Wang Zhenying has explicitly requested that the supply of gold and silver jewelry, incense, candles and powder be reduced, as long as it is enough.
This is how the harem is ruled by the Queen Mother.
It was natural for the emperor to keep women in his harem, and he did so for enjoyment.
But the Queen Mother would not be so generous.
Whether the women in the harem are living well or not has little to do with her, and those women cannot provide her with emotional value.
She herself has been on the bench in front of Sima Yao for many years, so it can be seen that she is very accustomed to being ignored by others.
Then let's all stay cold together.
The court's money should be spent on more useful purposes.
What would be a more useful place?
Of course it’s time to make weapons!
Although Wang Zhenying is a woman from an aristocratic family and has never been able to wield a sword or a gun, she also understands the truth.
Rouge gouache is certainly a good thing, but for a court, it is more important to open up territory and expand territory.
Women should look after those who please themselves.
In this harem, those who can please them are still nursing!
There is absolutely no need for this.
Wang Zhenying was good at doing things. Not only did she cut down the palace expenses, she even diverted this part of the expenses to making weapons.
"Wang Shilang didn't know something. The Queen Mother's move can be regarded as a great help to us."
Wang Mi showed a puzzled expression.
Pu Chao quickly answered the question: "Since His Majesty passed away, the funds for the workshop can be said to be stretched thin, getting less and less."
"Although I have raised money in many ways and used it frugally, I still cannot make ends meet."
"When I was in trouble, the Queen Mother suddenly sent someone to inspect the workshop, praised us for our ability in doing the job, and also rewarded us with a sum of money."
"And the supplies in the gold and silver workshops and the incense and candle workshops have been reduced. The Queen Mother also said that the purchase of raw materials in this part can also be reduced accordingly, and the money saved can be used to make weapons."
"Although the money given by the Queen Mother is not much, it can sustain us for another ten days. It is not a rescue for us."
Is there such a thing?
I didn't expect that Wang Gong would have such a good girl.
This is really a blessing for An Ning and a blessing for Jin Dynasty.
I just don’t know, when Wang Mi wants to take the throne, will the Queen Mother cooperate and write him a formal edict of abdication?
"How many days has it been since the work of the general craftsman was given by the Queen Mother?" he asked, pretending not to care.
Pu Chao said quickly: "It's been about ten days."
Wang Mi nodded clearly.
Sure enough.
It turns out that I am almost out of money again and am looking for money!
He did indeed handle this matter improperly.
I remember bragging that I didn't need enough money back then. If the workshop needs anything, I can ask him for it.
Thinking back now, ever since this guy was blown away, he has never made a big splash.
Isn’t this just painting a pie?
Thinking of this, a feeling of guilt arose spontaneously.
Wang Mi hurriedly expressed his position: "Don't disturb the general craftsmen. When I get back today, I will ask my family to send some money. It will be enough to use the workshop for at least a month."
Pu Chao took a deep breath.
One month!
The small hand of time moved back a lot.
Feel relieved!
"Shilang Wang is too polite. Actually, I'm not asking you for money. In fact, things in the palace have just stabilized and the court can't take care of us. There's nothing I can do about it."
"I understand, I understand."
An old acquaintance appeared in front of him, it was Master Wei.
Seeing him walking over quickly, his expression was a bit nervous.
"Master Wei, how are you always?"
"good!"
"I'm doing very well. Thank you very much, Mr. Wang, for your concern."
"I really can't bear it." Master Wei bowed and bowed again. He was so frightened that he didn't know where to move his hands.
That little look kept looking towards Pu Chao.
"Master Wei, what's the matter?"
Master Wei was stunned for a moment, but still hesitated.
This is even more suspicious.
"Tell me, there are no outsiders here."
"Isn't the money enough?"
"I have already discussed it with Mr. Pu, and I will take care of the money. It will be delivered here today."
Under the offensive of Wang Mi's passionate eyes, Master Wei finally gritted his teeth.
"It's not about money."
"It's not about money?"
"What's that?"
Pu Chao also looked nervous, as if he knew something.
"It's about weapons."
"Master Wei, if you have anything to say, how about we say it together and don't hesitate." Wang Mi was a little anxious.
Weapons are his biggest concern and there is absolutely no room for failure.
Frightened by his sudden loud voice, Master Wei knelt down with a plop.
He poured it out like he was asking for beans.
"I heard just now that Wang Shilang came to the general's workshop to get weapons, but there are not that many weapons in the warehouse now."
"Servant Wang previously told us that these artillery pieces and pistols will be given to the Beifu soldiers for use. However, the quantity we have made now is not even half of it. I'm afraid... I'm afraid we won't be able to get it together this time."
"I'm brave enough to ask Mr. Wang to grant me some more time. Ten days, ah no, five days, five days is enough."
Master Wei's words here are unscrupulous and purely deceptive.
In ancient times, making artillery and pistols was not an easy task.
If you can make hundreds of them in five days, it is considered fast.
This amount is not even enough to stuff the teeth of Beifu soldiers.
However, Wang Mi is still very strange.
"Why are there so few left?" He was not angry, just a little confused.
After helping Master Wei up with his own hands, Wang Mi asked several people questions.
Among them, of course, it also includes Puchao.
He is aware and cannot run away.
Master Wei was hesitating, but at the critical moment, he didn't dare to speak, and kept his eyes on Pu Chao.
