Chapter 207

"What gift?"

Xiao Wenxuan looks interested. What Xiao Ming sent to Chang'an during this period is strange, which makes him look forward to.

"Tell my father that this gift is very heavy. This time, I didn't come here with my son's son, but through a water transport merchant ship. It's estimated that I'll be there in two days. At that time, my son's son will personally deliver the gift to my father." Xiao Ming said.

Xiao Wenxuan was relieved, he said: "thanks for your heart, hum, unlike your brothers, they can't think of anything except fighting all day long."

Then he waved his hand. "In this case, you can go and do your own business. Your mother and wife must have told you about the Fei family. My father and the emperor have been quarreling with Fijian for a long time. You can find time to have a look. It's not easy to come back this time. You can stay in Chang'an for a while. There will be a big competition in the army in Chang'an after a while. If you are interested, Let's have a look and learn. "

"Yes, my father, my son's ministers left first." Xiao Ming nodded and turned to leave.

Looking at Xiao Ming's back, Feng Deshui said with a smile, "Your Highness, the king of Qi, has been very sensible. Now he can be of great use."

Feng Deshui has been serving Xiao Wenxuan since he was a child. He can be said to be Xiao Wenxuan's most trusted person.

Hearing the speech, Xiao Wenxuan said: "I didn't expect that the king of Qi would change so much in just a few years. It seems that I underestimated him before. If my second son didn't make a name for himself, he would make a great impact. If he didn't fly, he would soar to the sky."

"Yes, now there are the king of Qi in Qingzhou, the king of Wei in Jinling, the king of Zhao in the north, the king of Liang in the south, the king of Yan and the king of Chu in the south. In this way, the state of Dayu will be stable."

Xiao Wenxuan nodded, then said: "if so, it should let Xiao Ming sell the artillery to the king of Wei?"

Feng Deshui was familiar with the wind, but he never dared to talk much about the government affairs, saying, "emperor, I don't understand these things."

"Hum, you don't understand. You pretend you don't understand. If you give this gun to the king of Wei, you must give it to the king of Chu. Otherwise, these ministers should say that I treat them differently." Thinking of this problem, Xiao Wenxuan has a headache.

Feng Deshui turned his eyes and said, "why should the emperor be so upset? Our Chang'an doesn't produce artillery. Your majesty is powerless."

"Well, that's right." Xiao Wenxuan suddenly laughed. "In this case, let's leave the problem to the king of Qi. For me, it's a trouble. For him, it's a chance to earn money. Hum, eight thousand taels. He really dares to take it. I estimate that the gun is only ten times the price of the fire tube. At most, two or three thousand taels is enough. It's right for him to block some troubles for me."

If Xiao Ming heard this, he would be surprised. He lamented that Xiao Wenxuan was not simple, because according to the historical records, the red cannon in the late Ming Dynasty was only about 2500 Liang.

The artillery produced by Qingzhou equipment department is basically at this price.

At this time, Xiao Ming has been out of the palace, and Lu Fei is waiting for him outside.

"And rosin? How come I'm not with you? " Xiao Ming asked.

Lu Fei said: "general Luo took him away and went back to Chang'an. He is like a fish in water. His highness cares what he does."

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

Thinking of the words of Zhenfei and Xiao Wenxuan, Xiao Ming hesitates to go to Fiji's home.

However, I think that most of the things I brought from Qingzhou haven't arrived yet. I still give up my mind. After all, it's not polite to come to the door empty handed.

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Lufei's face a little twisted, and seemed to be hesitating. He asked in surprise, "what's the matter? If you have something to say, let it go. "

Lu Fei suddenly said with a smile: "Your Highness, they all say that Chang'an is a prosperous place of flowers and willows, a rich and gentle hometown. It's rare for you to come to Chang'an to receive a reward this time. Is it worthwhile for your highness to come all the way here with the experience of the last general?"

"You just say you want to go shopping in Qinglou. There are so many detours." Xiao Ming said directly.

In places like Dayu, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, just like modern monogamy, and they are also protected by law.

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

After all, every time we mobilize in a war, we always catch strong men.

Especially in his Qingzhou, the barbarian rebellion three years ago led to the imbalance between men and women on the feudal land. Therefore, in this era, Xiao Ming can not encourage monogamy, because it is no different from the implementation of family planning.

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

The reason why only a few big countries have complete industrial systems today, while those small countries are only affiliated processing plants is that the population limits the potential of this country, and the large country with a large population also means a large number of talents.

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

So, having figured out this, he gradually acquiesced to the system of three wives and four concubines in the state of Dayu. After all, what he needed was population. Only when there was a large population could he have enough soldiers to encircle the land all over the world. After all, policies should be formulated according to the actual situation, not just by preference."No, I can't take you to those places." Facing Lu Fei's thirsty eyes, Xiao Ming shook his head firmly.

Lu Fei said: "Your Highness, you can only allow the state officials to set fire and do not allow the people to light the lights..."

"Well, don't you have a brain? Of course, Qing Lou, a folk official, can't go there. The court's legal officials can't go to the Jiaofang department. " Xiao Ming stares at Lu Fei.

And like three wives and four concubines, it's normal to visit Qinglou in Dayu.

However, in the state of Dayu, it is forbidden for officials to go to Qinglou, but they can go to jiaofangsi.

The women in the Jiaofang department are called government prostitutes. They are usually women's dependents who come to prostitutes after they have made a house purchase. There are also women who have been cultivated since childhood. These women are not only beautiful. In order to meet the needs of civil servants, all government prostitutes usually write poems, music, painting and so on.

On weekdays, officials go to this place for entertainment and banquets.

Lu Fei's eyes suddenly turned green. Naturally, he knew that the Department of Jiaofang was much more elegant than the Qinglou. After all, these women were all members of the imperial court.

"Hehe, your highness, it's your highness who misunderstood you." Lu Fei smiles and looks at Xiao Ming with expectant eyes.

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

Lu Fei rolled his eyes, "Your Highness, it's better not to say, isn't this the appetite of the last general?"
