Chapter 99 Instant Noodles?
Duck feathers! ?
The whole court was shocked.
From artificial hatching of duck eggs, to rapid cramming-style feeding, to plucking feathers for clothing... this duck was used completely from beginning to end.
How could it cost money?
Duck feathers, they are garbage, garbage can be turned into treasure!
"What do you think? Duke Dingguo, do you think the contribution of Concubine Liu's winter clothes is comparable to military pay?"
Xiao Yunzhou made the final decision and spoke.
"Lord Fucha, do you think this winter clothes are not useful enough to be used in the army?"
Lord Fucha and Duke Dingguo both paused.
"What do you think? Can Concubine Liu be appointed as a female official in front of me?"
"..."
The whole court was silent, and tacitly focused their resentful eyes on Duke Dingguo and Lord Fucha.
They said that as long as Concubine Liu's winter clothes were useful, it would be okay for the emperor to appoint a hundred female officials.
One said that as long as Liupin's winter clothes can be promoted to the army, he can be rewarded according to his merits!
Okay!
Now, there is no way to argue with the emperor.
Otherwise, the words of a duke and a prime minister will become farts and contradictory!
Duke Dingguo and Fucha pursed their lips.
"Old minister... no more objections." In the end, Duke Dingguo was flexible and not afraid of death, let alone humiliation.
"Old minister agrees with the female official." As soon as Duke Dingguo said this, the other generals wearing velvet clothes also nodded.
"I second the motion."
"I second the motion!"
"Agree with Duke Dingguo, I have no objection!"
The military generals and the people in the Ministry of War spoke one after another, and their momentum gradually became amazing!
"I only know today that it is not a man who kills one person every five steps to be considered a meritorious service."
"If all women in the world are like the queen, it doesn't matter if my salary is given to women!"
There is also a small official in the Ministry of War who spoke in a sonorous voice.
Xiao Yunzhou's eyes flickered.
All the civil officials in the court opened their mouths and closed them again.
"Okay! Not to mention women and men, even if it's a child today, he should be an official if he can research something that is beneficial to the soldiers and does not touch the debt owed by the Ministry of Revenue!" Jiang Li from the Ministry of Revenue even summarized and expressed his loyalty.
Xiao Yunzhou coughed lightly.
Child... cough, he felt a little guilty when he heard it.
When the little princess grows up, he will definitely give his daughter the most honorable title and the largest princess mansion!
If the daughter who is the reincarnation of a fairy is willing, she can be an official~
Although the down jacket was Liupin's idea, but the plague and money business, his father's ideas were all helped by the little princess!
[Oh, Grandpa Dingguogong and Uncle Jiang from the Ministry of Revenue are both honest people, and they are willing to let their children become officials~]
All the civil and military officials in the court returned to the hall and resumed the morning court process.
Xiao Chuchu, who was held by Wei Zheng behind the throne curtain, woke up slowly.
When she woke up, she heard the bold statement of Jiang Li from the Ministry of Revenue that he wanted children to be officials.
Xiao Chuchu was awakened by the shock.
[Uncle Jiang, you are a good person, but if you let children think about adult matters, they will not grow taller~]
[You should be the high official yourself~]
Xiao Yunzhou wanted to laugh after hearing this.
It seems that his daughter is lazy.
It’s okay, the fairy ideas of the daughter are all busy for him, the father, and the ministers!
The daughter is only a few months old, there is no need to worry about these.
Even if she is eighteen and married in the future, she will still be the father’s favorite little baby!
Xiao Yunzhou thought about it. If the baby daughter crawled out of the warm quilt to attend the court before dawn every day, the little person would not be as tall as Fu Cha Ge Lao when standing, and he, the father, would definitely be heartbroken.
"Report if there is something to report, and leave if there is nothing to leave."
After discussing the down jacket and the collection of embroidery workshops for production, Xiao Yunzhou was ready to leave the court.
But suddenly, he heard his daughter's soft murmur.
[Oh, I almost forgot that I didn't draw the lottery these days. I was too focused on watching my mother make down jackets~]
Huh.
Xiao Yunzhou almost laughed out loud on the throne.
The whole court: "..."
Is the emperor laughing at them?
Of course!
He's laughing at them because men are not as good as women and can't think of anything new!
The ministers were all imagining and alert, thinking that they couldn't mess around anymore, otherwise they would be scolded by the emperor sooner or later.
But Xiao Yunzhou didn't have time to care about them. He was listening to his daughter draw a new skill book!
[Heaven and earth, bless me to draw something that will help Jingguo's national strength! ]
[Oh my god - look what good stuff I drew! ]
["How to make instant noodles and other instant foods"]
["Water conservancy and irrigation engineering"]
[Oh, my own skills have also been upgraded... I can see everyone's martial arts value! 】
Xiao Yunzhou stared.

On the grassland, the Khan of Wu Yun State welcomed the envoy of Chu State again!
"Khan of your noble country, who respects gold, you will regret it in the future if you do not trade with Chu State but with Jing State."
"The strength of our Chu State is superior to that of Jing State. Whether it is the manufacture of weapons or the storage of food in winter, we are better than Jing State. Our Chu State is not short of silver..."
The Chu State envoy threatened and lured, and left a bunch of generous gifts before leaving.
The face of Wu Yunguo Khan gradually became ugly, "Did we choose the wrong brother to make friends with?"
Jing State is not as strong as Chu State.
The benefits brought by the mutual trade to Wu Yunguo, is Chu State better?
Wu Yunguo Khan frowned, "Call Prince Erxi."
Erxi was one of the envoys sent to Jing State at that time.
But the guards had not gone out for a while, and they lifted the curtain to come out.
"Khan, the prince is waiting for you outside. He said that the border town of Jing State is holding an event as the New Year is approaching. The Tiantan Square opened by the two countries for mutual trade is also very lively. I invite you to enjoy it together."
"???"
Wu Yunguo Khan put down the wine cup. How could he be in the mood!
But soon after he went there, he was stunned.
"This duck is so plump... roast duck, our imperial meal, well, have our servants come to this trade to buy it?"
Khan Wu Yunguo, disguised himself as an ordinary Wu Yun man.
Roast duck wrapped in skin rolls, extremely delicious, you can eat it on horseback!
It's just too small, one bite at a time, he didn't even come to his senses, it was gone.
Khan Wu Yunguo, who ate a whole roast duck in a row, was eager to go back to the palace to eat it.
"Give me a thousand!"
"...I didn't bring you to see this." The envoy Erxi at the time was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Turned and took the Khan to the chickens and ducks next to him.
"What, how can it be so cheap? Jingguo actually treats Wu Yunguo so well!" The Khan was shocked. The price of the chickens and ducks was half of the price given by Chu.
How shameless the Chu envoy was, saying in the daytime that Chu's things were cheap and good!
Take a look, they should come and see!
"The Emperor of Jingguo is honest, they won't sell it to our Wu Yun at a loss, right?"
The Khan was somewhat moved. Although he had never met Xiao Yunzhou, he didn't expect the Emperor of Jingguo to be so stupid and naive.
He thought of selling the things he gave to Jingguo at a high price at the beginning.
"Haha, of course!" The old man at the Jingguo stall laughed, "In order to establish good relations between the two countries, our Jingguo specially raised a batch of chickens and ducks and sold them to you at a low price."
These are all artificially hatched in batches on earthen kangs, not hens and ducks squatting to hatch one by one.
If they come out in batches, they are cheap!
But this kind of technology cannot be told.
The old man who sells chickens and ducks in Jingguo is very conscious of protecting his Jingguo secrets and is determined not to tell people from Wu Yunguo.
"Our Emperor of Jingguo is a good man."
Khan Wu Yun was shocked, "God of Heaven... Jingguo is honest and does not deceive me."
He also raised a batch of cheap chickens and ducks specifically for Wu Yun.
This is because they know that they spend a lot of silver to buy food every winter, and Jingguo is saving them money!
"Of course," the old man selling eggs continued to fool the seemingly rich and naive Wu Yun merchant in front of him, "Our Jingguo Emperor also said that money should not be wasted."
"If you have money, you should make money from it, don't buy expensive things and waste them in vain."
"Money makes money, you know?"
Khan shook his head in confusion.
"Hey, you are not well-informed, brother. You don't even know about Jingguo Money House. It opened in our town yesterday. Oh my! Deposit 100 taels of silver for a year, and you will get 20 taels back!"
Khan Wu Yun stared.
Ah? Jingguo still has such a good thing! ?
Can other countries deposit it?

Jingguo Imperial Garden.
Xiao Yunzhou was holding Xiao Chuchu, and was lost in thought.
Never expected that since raising pigs, he, the emperor, would start... eating again?
[Instant noodles are a good thing. Let me see how to make the seasoning packet. ]
Xiao Yunzhou took a deep breath and looked at Wei Zheng.
"Go, the Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon. Call the head of the imperial kitchen to me."
"I want to study the imperial recipes."
Wei Zheng was bewildered.
Huh?
How come the emperor is cooking after making clothes?
He changes places every day!
"Oh, call Concubine Liu and Duke Dingguo as well."
