Chapter 1173 Taking the Emperor to a brothel?
Watching the children in the field.
The weather has just entered winter and it doesn’t seem to be very cold yet.
Shen Xia looked very happy watching the children working.
I feel relieved.
Shen Xia looked at Fang Bingsheng: "With the weather now, the cotton can't get wet after it's harvested. How are you going to deal with this?"
Shen Xia suddenly thought of this question.
Fang Bingsheng smiled and said, "After listening to Lord Song's advice, I had a drying room built. After the cotton is harvested this time, it will be dried clean before being stored."
Shen Xia nodded: "Well, this method is not bad."
"Yes! Thanks to the wisdom of Lord Song."
Shen Xia looked at everyone wearing light clothes and said, "Let's sell this batch of cotton to the common people first! Otherwise, no one or two of them will be able to survive this winter."
Fang Bingsheng nodded: "As you wish."
He originally thought so, giving priority to the people.
Shen Xia continued, "Every household has a kang, right?"
After all, the kang has been developed for several years. Even if this place is remote, you should know about burning kang!
Fang Bingsheng nodded: "Yes, there is, but there is too little firewood here. It can't last a whole winter."
Shen Xia looked around.
They are all bare.
If you burn wood all winter.
It’s definitely not enough.
Shen Xia looked around.
There is a mountain in the distance, it is black and gray, and there is no plant on the mountain.
In contrast, although plants on other mountains are rare, at least they still exist.
Based on Shen Xia's experience, there must be something under this mountain.
Otherwise it would be impossible for no plants to grow at all.
Shen Xia looked at a mountain in the distance.
Although it is visible, it will probably take half a day to get there by carriage. The best way is to ride a horse.
It’s too late today, I can only go and see it tomorrow.
"Where is that?" Shen Xia asked, pointing at the mountain.
Fang Bingsheng looked over and said, "The soil in Laohei Mountain is all black, nothing can be grown there."
Shen Xia smiled: "From your county."
Fang Bingsheng nodded: "Yes."
Shen Xia smiled: "Your county is going to be rich."
Fang Bingsheng was in a state of confusion?
Your Majesty, could you please elaborate on how this is done?
I am really stupid!
Why did Shen Xia want to go out for a walk? Because even if the geographical resources are abundant, no one knows about it, so he has to go out and see it for himself, otherwise how can he develop it!
Shen Xia didn't continue talking and changed the subject: "It's late today, let's go back!"
Shen Xia looked at the children in the fields in the distance: "Yi Yi, Yi Yan, Yi Fan, and An An are all back."
Only then did Yi Yi look at the little girl next to him and say, "We're going back now. Bye."
The little girl looked at Yi Yi with envy: "Bye, Princess."
After saying this, he bowed his head and saluted.
She actually had the honor of teaching the princess how to pick cotton.
Yi Yi took Xiao Wan and her brother back.
The little girl behind her watched the princess leave.
Then he asked his mother, "Mother, the princess said that as long as you study, you will have a bright future. Can I go to school?"
The little girl's mother remained silent.
They now have problems with eating. Although education is free and books are cheap, I heard that many families have sent their children to the county.
I also heard that both men and women can study.
But I have never heard of anyone sending a girl there.
But I just heard what Her Royal Highness the Princess said.
The mother hesitated. After all, the princess was a member of the royal family, and her words must be true.
The woman looked at her daughter's expectant eyes.
I couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, go if you want."
The little girl smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom. When I grow up, I will definitely be filial to you and Dad." There are only two sisters in their family and no younger brother.
She wanted to study and change the fact that only her son could be the head of the family, so that she could find a son-in-law when the time came.
Shen Xia looked at the children coming back, and the servants beside them quickly handed them towels and asked them to wipe the dirt off their hands themselves.
Of course, the princesses and princes all had designated servants following them.
Chunhua Qiushi, who was beside Yi Yi, also had a keen eye and handed a towel to Xiao Wan.
Xiao Wan said politely, "Thank you, Aunt Qiushi."
Because Xiao Wan is sensible and polite.
Chunhua Qiushi was also nice to her.
It takes two hours to get back to the city.
Walk towards the carriage park.
Shen Xia asked, "Master Fang, do you know if there are any salt mines in the Southern Wasteland?"
Lord Fang nodded immediately: "Yes! There are a lot of salt mines, right? They are just salty rocks?"
Shen Xia nodded: "Yes."
Lord Fang said, "There's salt in the next county, and it's plentiful. No one dares to eat unprocessed salt because it will cause poisoning."
But those who came from poor families would bring back a few stones and lick them occasionally.
But you can't lick it too often.
Shen Xia thought about it and realized that the geography of this place was really similar to the geology of modern Shaanxi.
There are salt mines and coal mines.
Coal can replace wood and is more convenient.
If there really is a coal mine in this place, then the future living standards will definitely not be low.
"Okay, I understand."
Fang Bingren frowned. "Your Majesty, even if we have salt mines, it's useless! We don't have a method for making salt."
"I know how to do this."
Lord Fang: Your Majesty, are you going to steal the Zhu family's salt-making method?
Shen Xia didn't care about Lord Fang's thoughts.
If there really are salt mines and coal mines in this place, then workers will be needed. Everyone will have a job and the income will definitely not be low.
When income increases, more children will go to school.
After returning to the county, Shen Xia asked the children to wash up, after all, they had spent a whole day in the fields.
I'm afraid you're all dirty.
After tidying up.
Lord Fang was already waiting at the door.
Shen Xia left with Lord Fang.
No children with me.
Just take Xiaotian, Song Mingli and Ling Heng with him.
Song Jiang has been in the dark, while Tu Chenyuan has been guarding him in the open.
We arrived at a restaurant called Cui Yuxuan.
There are no outsiders inside.
It should have been cleared.
But there is a smell of rouge and powder in it.
Shen Xia looked around.
The corner of my mouth twitched, and I had a feeling that I couldn't describe.
There is also a stage in the middle.
Fang Bingsheng asked Shen Xia to come forward and sit in the main seat.
Ling Heng quickly sat down next to him.
Li Yi stood behind.
Shen Xia looked at Li Yi: "You sit down too!"
Li nodded: "Yes."
Xiaotian sat down at the lower seat.
Next to Liyi.
There are two seats next to the main seat.
Ling Heng sat down on one seat, and then Song Ming sat down on the other.
Shen Xia looked at Lord Fang: "Lord Fang, please sit down too!"
Lord Fang sat down.
Then he raised his hand to indicate something?
The performance began on the stage.
Watching the little girl who was not wearing much dancing on it.
Wasn’t Shen Xia’s first feeling that she wasn’t cold?
The dishes were served slowly, and Shen Xia looked at the dishes on the table.
Every time a dish is served, Ruyi will test it with a silver needle.
Then eat with one chopstick first.
Of course it’s serving chopsticks.
Many times, Shen Xia had a feeling that she was eating what others had left.
When in the palace, most of the time, Eunuch Sun would have eaten first, and then Shen Xia could eat after a quarter of an hour.
So it’s not easy to eat hot food.
Lord Fang was watching from the side. He had assigned people to watch over the servants who were cooking in the back kitchen. There couldn't be any accidents!
Your Majesty, you cannot allow anything to happen to him, otherwise your entire clan will be exterminated!
Shen Xia watched the dance above end, and then a young man came to sing a song.
He has good facial features.
The skin is a little yellowish.
Due to the climate here, the locals tend to be yellowish.
Although it feels a little whiter, this fake white is not as good looking as the original leather.
Ling Heng gently handed over the snack: "It's so ugly, how can you bear to look at it?"
The voice is not quiet.
It directly caused the people on the stage to lose their voices.
Shen Xia's mouth twitched, and she turned to look at Ling Heng: "Your mouth is really a bit redundant."
Ling Heng snorted: "Don't you like it?"
After saying this, he gave a hint with his eyes.
Shen Xia: I really want to beat this thing to death.
Shen Xia looked at Lord Fang's unhappy expression.
Lord Fang quickly said, "It's my fault for not entertaining you well. I will definitely find a handsome young man tomorrow."
Shen Xia: Listen to what the officials below think of her!
Shen Xia shook his head: "No, it's fine, but I'm not interested in this kind of reception. I hope the officials can focus on the people."
Lord Fang lowered his head and said, "I understand."
Shen Xia was still confused: "I'm really curious, why does this place look so much like a brothel?"
Mr. Fang lowered his head even lower.
Shen Xia was stunned: No way!
Let her guess right, taking the emperor to visit a brothel?
What kind of brain can do this?
