Chapter 206 Lu Fei's Mind

"what gift?"

Xiao Wenxuan showed an interested look. During this period of time, the things Xiao Ming sent into Chang'an were all kinds of strange, which made him look forward to it.

"Reporting to the royal father, this gift is very heavy. This time, I did not come with Erchen, but via a merchant ship transported by water. It is estimated that it will arrive in two days. At that time, the son will personally send the gift to the father." Xiao Ming said.

Xiao Wenxuan was relieved, he said: "Thank you for having a heart, hum, unlike your brothers, who can't remember anything except fighting each other all day long."

Then he waved his hand, "Since that's the case, go and do your own business. Your mother and concubine must have told you about the Fiji family. The royal father has been talking with Fiji for a long time, but you should take the time to watch it. Look, it’s not easy to come back this time, you should stay in Chang’an for a while, and there will be a military competition in Chang’an City in a few days, if you are interested, you might as well come and learn.”

"Yes, Royal Father, this son will retire 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 King Qi is quite sensible, and now it is of great use."

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 never thought that King Qi would change so much in just a few years. It seems that I underestimated him before. If the second son doesn't speak, he will be a blockbuster. If he doesn't fly, he will fly into the sky. "

"Precisely, now there is King Qi in Qingzhou, King Wei in Jinling, King Zhao and King Liang in the north, and King Yan and King Chu in the south. In this way, the Great Yu Kingdom will be stable."

Xiao Wenxuan nodded, and then said: "If you say that, 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 much about political issues and said, "Your Majesty, this old slave doesn't understand this."

"Hmph, it's not that you don't understand, you just pretend that you don't understand, this artillery was given to King Wei, so 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 should the emperor be so troubled, our Chang'an does not produce artillery pieces, and His Majesty is also powerless."

"Well, that's right." Xiao Wenxuan suddenly laughed, "Since that's the case, let's leave this question to King Qi, it's a trouble for me, but for him, it's an opportunity to make money, hum, Eight thousand taels, he really dares to ask for it, I estimate that the price of this cannon is only ten times the price of the torch, at most two or three thousand taels is enough, and it should be enough for him to save us a few troubles."

If Xiao Ming heard this, he would be shocked, and he felt that Xiao Wenxuan was not simple, because according to this historical record, the red-clothed cannons in the late Ming Dynasty were only about 2,500 taels.

And the artillery produced by Qingzhou Equipment Division is basically at this price.

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

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

Lu Fei said, "General Luo took him away, and when he returned to Chang'an, he felt like a duck to water. Your Highness will take care of him."

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

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

However, when I remembered that most of the things I brought from Qingzhou had not arrived, I gave up my mind.

He was thinking about it when he suddenly saw Lu Fei's expression a little awkward. He seemed to be hesitating for something, and asked in surprise, "What's the matter? Hurry up if you have something to say, hurry up if you have a fart."

Lu Fei suddenly laughed and said: "Your Highness, they all say that Chang'an is a prosperous land of flowers and willows, a rich and gentle town. This time it is rare to come to Chang'an to receive a reward. Does your Highness want to take the commander to experience it? Come on."

"You just said that you want to go shopping in the green building. You still have to go around so many detours." Xiao Ming said directly.

In places like the Great Yu Kingdom, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, just like modern monogamy, and it is also protected by law.

It's a matter of time that men are superior to women, but the most practical problem facing the ancients is that there are many boys and girls in this era. Whether it is war, disease, or hard labor, the most dead are always men.

After all, every time the war is mobilized, the strong men are always captured.

Especially in his Qingzhou, the barbarian rebellion three years ago led to an imbalance between men and women on the fief, so in this era, Xiao Ming could not encourage monogamy, because it was no different from implementing 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 achieve a complete industrial system.

Why only a few big countries have a complete industrial system in the contemporary era, and those small countries are just subsidiary processing plants, only because the population limits the potential of the country, and the large number of people in a large country also means that there are many talents.

Only when there are many talents can we develop in an all-round way.

So, after thinking about this, he gradually acquiesced to the system of three wives and four concubines in the Great Yu Kingdom. After all, what he needs is the population. Only when the population is large can he have enough soldiers to encircle the world. After all, the policy must It is made according to the actual situation, not just based on preference.

"No, this king 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: "Your Highness really only allows state officials to set fires and not allow people to light lamps..."

"Hmph, don't you have any brains? Naturally, you can't go to the private green house. Officials of the imperial court are not allowed to go to the Jiaofang Division." Xiao Ming glared at Lu Fei.

And like the three wives and four concubines, it is also a very normal thing to visit the green house in the Great Yu Kingdom.

However, in the Great Yu Kingdom, officials are strictly forbidden to go to private green houses, but they can go to the Jiaofang Division.

The women in the Jiaofang Division are called official prostitutes. They are usually female relatives who have been prostitutes after large families raided their homes. There are also women who have been trained since childhood. These women are not only beautiful. In order to meet the needs of civil servants, all official prostitutes are generally Poetry, calligraphy and painting, etc.

On weekdays, officials will go to this place for social gatherings and banquets.

Lu Fei's eyes suddenly glowed green, and he naturally knew that this Jiaofang Secretary was much more elegant than the folk Qinglou. After all, these women served were high-ranking officials in the DPRK.

"Hey, Your Highness, it was the subordinate who misunderstood His 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 not say, isn't this the appetite of the generals?"
