Iron Dynasty

"what gift?"

Xiao Wenxuan showed a look of interest. The things Xiao Ming sent to Chang'an during this period were strange and strange, which made him look forward to it.

"Return to the emperor father, this gift is very heavy. This time I did not come here with your son, but by a merchant ship by water transport. It is estimated that it will be there in two days, when the son will personally send the gift to the father." Xiao Ming said.

Xiao Wenxuan felt relieved, and he said, "You have a heart, huh, unlike your brothers, who don't think of anything except fighting each other all day long."

Then he waved his hand, "In that case, go and do your own business. Your mother and concubine must have talked to you about the Fei family. My father has been talking about Fiji for a long time, so you take the time to watch. See, it’s not easy to come back this time. You will stay in Chang’an for a few more days. There will be a military competition in Chang’an. If you’re interested, you might as well take a look and learn.”

"Yes, my father, my son has retired first." Xiao Ming nodded and turned to leave.

Looking at the back of Xiao Ming's departure, Feng Deshui said with a smile: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Qi is quite sensible, but now it is quite useful."

Feng Deshui has been serving Xiao Wenxuan since he was a child, and he can be said to be the person Xiao Wenxuan trusts most.

Hearing this, Xiao Wenxuan said: "I didn't expect King Qi to change so much in just a few years. It seems that I had looked down upon him before. "

"Exactly, now Qingzhou has King Qi, Jinling has King Wei, North can contain King Zhao, King Liang, and South can contain King Yan and King Chu. In this way, Great Yu will be stable."

Xiao Wenxuan nodded, and then said: "If that's the case, should Xiao Ming sell the artillery to King Wei?"

Feng Deshui was familiar with the wind in his ears, but he never dared to talk more about the affairs of the country, saying: "The emperor, the old slave doesn't understand this."

"Hmph, you don't understand, you pretend not to understand, this artillery is given to King Wei, and it must be given to King Chu, otherwise these ministers should say that I treat them differently." Thinking of this question, Xiao Wenxuan had a headache.

Feng Deshui rolled his eyes and said, "Why the emperor is so troubled, we don't produce artillery in Changan. Your majesty is also powerless."

"Well, that's good." Xiao Wenxuan suddenly laughed, "In that case, let this question be left to King Qi. For me, it is a trouble. For him, it is a chance to make money, huh. Eight thousand taels, he really dared to ask for it. I estimate that this artillery is only ten times the price of the barrel, and at most two to three thousand taels is enough. It should be enough for him to prevent me from a few troubles."

If Xiao Ming heard these words, he would be shocked and lamented that Xiao Wenxuan was not simple, because this historical book records that the red cannon at the end of the Ming Dynasty was no more than two thousand five hundred taels.

The artillery produced by Qingzhou Equipment Department is basically at this price.

At this time Xiao Ming had left the palace, and Lu Fei was waiting for him outside the door.

"Where's Luo Xin? Why aren't you with you?" Xiao Ming asked.

Lu Fei said, "General Luo took him away, and he was like a fish in the water when he returned to Chang'an. His Royal Highness will take care of him."

Xiao Ming looked up at the sun, then at his shadow. It is estimated that it is only nine o'clock, and the day has just begun.

Thinking of the words of Concubine Zhen and Xiao Wenxuan, Xiao Ming hesitated whether to go to his home in Fiji.

However, remembering that most of the things I had brought from Qingzhou hadn't arrived yet, I gave up my mind. After all, it was inconsequential to have nothing at hand.

As he was thinking, he suddenly saw Lu Fei's look a little twitchy, as if he was hesitating, and asked in amazement: "What's the matter? If you have something to say quickly, if you have a fart, let it go."

Lu Fei suddenly said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, it is said that this Chang'an is a prosperous place of flowers and willows, rich and gentle, this time it is rare to come to Chang'an to receive the reward, is it necessary for your Highness to take the end general to experience it? Come here."

"You just say that you want to go to the green building. It's okay to go around so many bends." Xiao Ming said directly.

In places like Dayu, three wives and four concubines are just as normal as modern monogamy, and they are protected by law.

It’s a matter of time for men to be inferior to women, but the most practical problem facing the ancients is that there are many boys and girls in this era. Whether it is wars, diseases, or hard labor, it is always men who die the most.

After all, every time a war is mobilized, there is always a strong man.

Especially in his Qingzhou, the barbarian rebellion three years ago led to an imbalance between men and women in the fief. Therefore, in this era, Xiao Ming cannot encourage monogamy, because it is no different from practicing family planning.

For him, what he needs most now is population. Without the support of the population base, it is difficult for a country to realize a complete industrial system.

Why only a few large countries have a complete industrial system in the contemporary era, and those small countries are just affiliated processing factories, only because the population limits the potential of this country, and the large countries have a large population, which also means more talents.

Only with a large number of talents can it be fully developed.

So, after understanding this, he gradually acquiesced to the system of three wives and four concubines in Dayu. After all, what he needs is a population. Only when the population is large can he have enough soldiers to encircle the world. Make it according to the actual situation, not just by preference.

"No, I can't take you to those places." Facing Lu Fei's hungry eyes, Xiao Ming shook his head firmly.

Lu Fei looked reluctant, and muttered: "His Royal Highness really only allows the state officials to set fires and not the people to light lamps..."

"Huh, don't you have any brains? Naturally, you can't go to the private green building. Officials of the court law can't* only go to Jiaofang Division." Xiao Ming stared at Lu Fei.

And like three wives and four concubines~www.wuxiaspot.com~, it is also a normal thing to visit Qinglou in Dayu Country.

However, in Dayu State, officials are strictly prohibited from going to private youth houses, but they can go to Jiaofang Division.

The women in this Jiaofang Division are called official prostitutes. They are usually the prostitutes of the big family after they ransack their homes, and there are also women who have been trained since childhood. These women are not pure and beautiful. All official prostitutes cater to the needs of civilian officials. Metropolitan poetry, calligraphy, piano and painting.

On weekdays, officials would go to this place for dinner parties.

Lu Fei's eyes flashed green light suddenly, and he naturally knew that this Jiao Fang Si Ke was much more elegant than the people's Qing Lou. After all, these women were serving as senior officials.

"Hehe, Your Highness, it's the lower officials who misunderstood Your Highness." Lu Fei smiled and looked at Xiao Ming with expectant eyes.

"This king still can't go." Xiao Ming hesitated and said again.

Lu Fei rolled his eyes. "His Royal Highness might as well leave it alone. Isn't this the appetite of another general?"
