Chapter 742: Inquiry (1)
"It is said that once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will surpass countless others in the world. In my opinion, the beauty of the golden wind and jade dew is not as beautiful as this world of fireworks."
In the elegant seat of Yuyue Tower, Chuxue sat by the window, holding a wine cup and looking at the busy traffic outside the window with a lazy attitude.
Jin Juetian, who was sitting opposite, followed her gaze and said, "Unfortunately, there are not many people in the world who appreciate such beautiful scenery."
The atmosphere of fireworks in the world is the most common, but the most rare.
"That's right, Prince Tian, Dahao has established the country for three years. The government has been well-organized, the people are prosperous, and the people live in peace. You are indispensable! I'd like to toast you with this cup."
Chuxue served the drink as a gesture, and after speaking, she raised her head and drank it first as a gesture of respect. After a glass of wine went down her throat, her brows widened.
What a good wine! In the past three years, she has tasted fine wines and delicacies from all over the world. Such good wine is indeed rare.
"It is the work of the Da Hao Dynasty. The power of one person is only a drop in the ocean, not worth mentioning. Da Hao will get better and better, and will usher in a prosperous age."
There were many people toasting him with wine, but her glass was a bit heavy, but he enjoyed it very much.
"Then how about this toast to the prosperous times in the future?"
"good!"
If she wants to drink, just stay with her.
Seeing Chu Xue finish her drink, Jin Juetian personally helped her fill it up, "Then with this third glass, do you wish that all your wishes will come true today?"
"Well, it deserves respect."
Chuxue held the wine and nodded matter-of-factly, the corners of her eyes raised.
The two of them drank three glasses of wine in one gulp. A slight blush appeared on Chu Xue's face, which made Jin Juetian's heart beat faster.
Quickly find a topic to cover up.
"You talked about a three-year plan. Today it's water conservancy and road construction, and you throw out a figure of five million taels, and finally you get this imperial edict. In fact, your ultimate goal is the Yishi you mentioned at the beginning, right?
?”
This way, I have almost figured it out.
I couldn't help but feel helpless because of her cunning. She was trying to figure out the emperor's intentions. She was really bold and reckless, as always.
When the emperor reacts in the future, will he suffer internal injuries from anger?
"I knew I couldn't hide it from Prince Tian, but I made it clear."
Her first sentence was that she wanted to open an easy market in the garrison city, but she made it very clear that road construction and water conservancy were all prerequisites for opening an easy market in the garrison city.
"Okay, let's not talk about your plan. Within one year, build a road through the garrison and divert water into Suizhou. Even if you really had the means to spend five million taels, you still wouldn't be able to complete it, let alone the material resources.
, the manpower alone cannot be gathered in three or two months. The emperor promised you, and you know what he wants. Do you understand how much help you will get from the court? "
This is simply impossible.
"Yes, within one year, even Prince Tian thought it was impossible, so the emperor issued this imperial edict as I wished without thinking. What I want to do is to make this impossible possible, Prince Tian
, you know best how I got my title and fief. If I am not 80% or 90% sure, I will never take the risk. In one year, Prince Tian will come to my garrison to have a look."
After Chuxue finished speaking, she drank another glass, this one giving off a bit of heroic spirit.
The confidence in Chu Xue's eyes made Jin Juetian stunned for a while, eighty or ninety percent?
If these words had come from anyone else, they would have been drunken arrogance, but it was she who said these words, "Okay, after one year, I will definitely go to the garrison to see it in person."
If she can do it, then this Jin Yuhou is truly worthy of her title, and her talents are as good as anyone in the court.
"Actually, no matter how you calculate it, in the end, the court will win. Whether you build roads or water conservancy projects, it will benefit the people of Dahao. I would like to give you a cup of gold and jade."
Chu Xue's eyebrows moved and she smiled, raised her hand to raise her glass and touched it with the other party.
Tao'er, who was finally worried and waited outside the palace, watched Chu Xue drinking one cup after another. She was anxious but couldn't say anything to persuade her, so she could only stare anxiously.
"Gou Yue, this wine really deserves its reputation!"
It's so good that it goes down your throat, it seems like you're a little greedy, and the alcohol is a bit strong.
"It's delicious. You don't have to drink enough at one time. The future will be long." Jin Juetian knew the stamina of this wine and reached for Chu Xue's wine cup.
"Prince Tian, don't be stingy. Drinking is just a matter of mood."
Her greedy look made Jin Juetian even more adorable in his eyes. Seeing her eyes shining brightly as she stared at the wine bottle, he still couldn't help but give her another drink. That's all, as long as she was happy.
"Prince Tian, I have been traveling for three years and encountered some new things. I wonder if Prince Tian has time to listen to me?"
Seemingly not drunk yet, Jin Juetian nodded.
"The Prince of Heaven is willing to listen, so let me tell you. Where should I start from... That's all. Prince of Heaven, you treat me to a drink, and I'll treat you to a play."
After Chuxue finished speaking, she stood up with a wine bottle in one hand and a wine cup in the other.
"Slow down!" Jin Juetian saw her body swaying slightly and hurriedly reached out to help her, but Tao'er was one step ahead of him.
There was a burst of excitement coming from downstairs at this moment.
Jin Juetian's heart moved, he was prepared.
"Your Majesty!" Qingsui called softly when he picked up the plane. Jin Juetian gave him a look, and Qingsui immediately shut up.
This private room faces the street and has a panoramic view of the lobby downstairs.
Chuxue held the wine and looked at the railing. The surrounding curtains were half-covered, giving people a dreamlike feeling.
Chuxue raised her hand to indicate, and then drank the whole drink in one gulp. Jin Juetian stopped beside her and took a sip of the wine. She drank so wantonly that she couldn't remember how long ago it was.
"Does Prince Tian know about Huizhou?"
Jin Juetian frowned and waited for the next text. He conquered this world. Not only did he know every place, but he still knew it generally.
Chuxue didn't say anything, just threw away the wine cup, sat down along the railing with the wine bottle in her arms, leaned against the pillar and looked downstairs.
At this moment, a group of scholars downstairs were discussing something unknown and seemed particularly excited.
"This is Huizhou rosin ink. You said it was ordinary pine smoke ink. You are right. You may have never seen rosin ink. This kind of ink is hard to find nowadays."
The man who spoke was well-dressed and wealthy, and it was easy to hear mockery in his words.
Coinciding with the spring examination, candidates from all over the country gathered in Yong'an City. Many teahouses and restaurants in Yong'an City took the opportunity to come up with some tricks, and Yuyue Tower was no exception.
The lobby is now packed with seats, most of them are candidates for this spring exam.
"My family has been making rosin ink for generations. You can never admit it wrong. I have rosin ink on my body. If you don't believe it, you will know after you try it."
The man who replied was dressed a little shabby, his skin was a little dark, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.
"Just you? Do you have rosin ink? Do you know how much silver a square of rosin ink costs? Okay, okay, rosin ink has been made for several generations. I bought this square of rosin ink at Mo Baoxuan."
"You're lying!"
The man in shabby clothes became a little anxious as he spoke. He opened his baggage directly, took out something wrapped in layers and carefully opened it. It was an ink stick only as long as a thumb and two fingers wide.
"This is the real rosin ink."
After the man finished speaking, he was about to grind the proof, and the people around him stayed silent and watched the excitement.
The noble prince folded his sleeves and looked disapprovingly.
After a while, a burst of ink fragrance wafted out, causing a commotion downstairs.
"Huizhou rosin ink has been passed down for thousands of years using ancient methods. Even the same recipe cannot be made elsewhere, because the raw material of pine ink used in this ink can only be made from Thousand Needle Pine produced in Cangnan, Huizhou.
This thousand-needle pine can only produce pine smoke when wet-burned."
