Zhao Ruoshui cleaned her hair in front of the small mirror in the carriage, with a simple long ponytail and bangs on her forehead. Such hair looked nothing eye-catching, but it was easy to take care of it. I was sure that her appearance was fine, Zhao Ruoshui got off the car and went to the office compound of the Ministry of Rites. Immediately someone stepped forward to lead her to Xiong Shangshu's office.

After entering the office, Zhao Ruoshui saw Xiong Shang's expression was not good. The two sat down and Xiong Shang said, "Princess, can the candidates on your side be ready?"

"Yeah. It's ready."

"I have prepared candidates here. Let everyone meet and let them set off as soon as possible."

"Okay." Zhao Ruoshui replied. After confirming the meeting time and the names of the other party's personnel, Zhao Ruoshui wanted to leave immediately. However, when he saw the partner Xiong Shang's depressed look, Zhao Ruoshui couldn't help but say, "Shangshu Xiong, that incident was not caused by you. Don't worry."

Xiong Shang did not answer, but just asked someone to send Zhao Ruoshui away. Then he sat in front of the table with a gloomy expression. The average height of the Song Dynasty was about 170, and the height of the Hebei Red Turban Army was about the same level. The general height of the Japanese people was about 140 to 150. If the armor of the Red Turban Army was sold directly to Japan, there was a problem of too much difference in size. The Japanese finally said that although the steel armor was good, it would be useless to wear it, so he returned the goods. Everyone knows that Zhao Jiaren is a soldier, and Xiong Shang believes that the Zhao official family will not care about this matter at all.

The army could not do business, so the matters they handled were handed over to the Ministry of Rites, and the matters that made Japan very dissatisfied became the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of War did not say anything before, and this action made Xiong Shang very dissatisfied and began to doubt whether the Ministry of War was deliberately messing with him.

With such a very opposite mood, Xiong Shang wrote a document to the Ministry of War and asked someone to send it. In the afternoon, the Ministry of War sent a reply. In the reply, the Ministry of War expressed readily that since the Ministry of War was not responsible for exporting armor, the Ministry of War would not pay a penny. This matter must be solved by the Ministry of Rites.

After reading this very rude thing, Xiong Shang asked his subordinates, "Did the factory that produces this batch of armor have a telegram?"

"Not yet." The subordinate replied. Looking at Xiong Shang's expression, the subordinate quickly asked: "Do you want to send another telegram to urge me?"

"Send it again!" Xiong Shang replied.

That afternoon, Xiong Shang arrived at the Ministry of Works. The Minister of Works had something to do, and the Minister of Works received Xiong Shang. After hearing Xiong Shang's request to ask the Ministry of Works for help, the Minister of Works also looked embarrassed. "Shangshu Xiong, the armor is made of steel, and it is very difficult to change. I didn't use steel armor for many years in the Song Dynasty, and at most it is made into steel helmets."

"What do you think you should do?"

"You have to wait."

"Wait? I can't wait!" Xiong Shang was furious, "Water is waiting for the armor. The official has an order, how can I wait."

"Or Shangshu Xiong asked the officials to come forward." The Minister of Works immediately put the blame on Zhao Jiaren.

Xiong Shang was very upset. If he wanted to turn the blame on Zhao Jiaren, of course he could do this. But after so long it took him to ship the goods, he realized that something was wrong. Xiong Shangshu felt that asking Zhao Jiaren to come forward to solve the problem would only disappoint the Zhao Guan family. Any Shangshu who lost the disappointment of the official and prime minister will definitely not be good.

I originally wanted to invite the Ministry of Works to have a meal, but I was completely lost at this time. Shangshu returned home angrily and saw that everyone was there. Today is the weekend, and everyone came back for a meal. Seeing his second son who was studying in the Department of Mechanics and preparing to work in the Ministry of Mechanics after graduation, Xiong Shang remembered the scum of the Ministry of Works. He said to his second son with anger: "I leave it to you something to change the armor from 1.7 meters to 1.5 meters to 1.5 meters."

Although he could not accept his father's unfriendly attitude, Xiong Eryane replied in a muffled voice: "Where is the armor? There is no sample, I don't know what to change."

Three days later, when Xiong Shangshu returned home, he was even more angry. The factory that made the armor replied to a telegram, "We also took the time to make the armor back then, but now we have forgotten all of those things. Now there is a new equipment production task, and we can't repair it."

He was so angry that he pushed open the door of the house, and saw Xiong Eryane and two classmates bringing a child of 150 to wait for him at home. There were several shelves next to him, and several armors were placed on the shelves, which looked different in size. It was obviously a solution to the problem.

"Hurry! Tell me what's going on!" Xiong Shangshu asked with surprise.

The specific explanation is very professional, but Shangshu Xiong didn't understand it. Shangshu Xiong understood that the armor only needs to be removed and put on the 150-year-old guy. Even children with slender figures can fit after adjusting some armor parts.

In the eyes of his father, Xiong Eryan immediately changed from a future slag in the Ministry of Works to a good son who is useful now. He cursed the group of bastards who shirked their work in the work department in his heart. Shangshu Xiong thought for a moment and asked, "You have a way to prevent the armor from rusting." In addition to the size, the Japanese also hope to get anti-rust means.

Several young students looked at each other, and Xiong Eryane's classmate replied: "You can use the method of blueness. But after that, the armor looks dark and not good-looking."

Shangshu shook his head, "It must be good to look good. The Japanese like this kind of steel armor, the brighter it looks more grand."

Several kids discussed for a while but failed. Shangshu Xiong was not in a hurry this time. He said, "You guys think about it when you go back."

The next night, only the second son was waiting at home. Seeing his son's unconfident expression, Xiong Shang asked regretfully: "Can't you find a way to prevent rust?"

"There is a way."

"Let me tell me!" Xiong Shang asked hurriedly.

"You can plating gold and silver." Xiong Eryane introduced the method. Gold and silver will not be oxidized directly. After removing the rust on the armor, gold and silver are plating on the outside to effectively avoid oxidation. Waxing the surface of the armor can also play a role in preventing rust.

"Let your classmates come and get this batch of armor done. The Ministry of Rites will not let your classmates do it in vain." Xiong Shang's voice was calm, completely like the style of the Shangshu. In order to make up for the progress, the Ministry of Rites could not help paying money.

Fifteen days later, Zhao Naruto, the commander of the Yiyu naval army, received these goods. Several young Song people set up racks and placed several sample armors in the hall. In the center were two sets of gold-plated armors, two silver-plated armors, two blue-plated armors, and four ordinary steel armors coated with wax.

Under the temptation of paying 100 yuan for each person's business trip, Xiong Eryane and two classmates came happily with the ship. Several classmates were very happy and curious to be able to run to the distant legendary Japan. After putting on the armor, they looked at the Japanese people opposite the hall and saw the one in the leader with the Song Dynasty hair bun, and most of the others had Japanese hairstyles. Those people were men and women, and they were different. The same one was that everyone was staring at the armor, or gilded armor.

The sun shines on the golden armor, reflecting golden light. Zhao Naruto's eyes reflected the outline of the golden armor, making his eyes a little golden. In Japan, a golden armor is not only a symbol of wealth, but also a symbol of identity. Zhao Naruto himself doubts whether the emperor has such a golden armor.

Looking at the Japanese who wanted to stretch out his hand in his eyes, Xiong Eryane couldn't help but say, "You don't have to be polite. If anyone wants to wear these armors, try wearing them quickly." He came during the summer vacation, but if he dragged on, school would start when he went back. Although his father was the Minister of Rites, he said that the Ministry of Rites would definitely give them a certificate and would not let them be considered skipping school. But Xiong Eryane still hoped to attend classes on time like everyone else.

At the invitation, Zhao Naruto gritted his teeth and stood up. Even though he knew that this was just one of the many steel armors in the Song Dynasty, wearing golden armor was still a lot of psychological pressure for him.

As a science and engineering man, Xiong Eryane was not under pressure. In order to earn this hundred coins of money as soon as possible, he and his classmates helped Zhao Naruto adjust his armor first, put on the tussah silk lining, put on the armor, and make the final adjustments based on Zhao Naruto's movement.

The leaders of the Iyu navy army looked at the commander changing out in a hot look. Halfway through, Hinata could no longer help. She stood up from the stool and walked to the silver armor, picked up the silver armor helmet and weighed it in her hand, and said, "I want this!"

Someone immediately translated it to the engineering man. In fact, there was no need to translate it. Just looking at this action, you would know what Hinata wanted to do. They immediately came over and adjusted the armor for Hinata. These armors were designed with considerations for different body shapes and did a great job in connection. However, in the bureaucratic system, no one was willing to work on their own.

Not long after, Zhao Naruto and Hinata both put on their armor and helmets, and dropped the face armor with the T-shaped gap. The leaders of the Iyu navy were stunned.

The two were wrapped in shiny armor, and the smooth facial armor blocked the faces of the two people, leaving only a serious and murderous aura. The golden armor was gorgeous, and the silver armor reflected brighter light. With such armor, the hall on the roof of the straw canopy also looks magnificent.

"I want this black one!" Orochimaru couldn't help but get up and said.

It is said to be black, but the armor made from the blue-blue process is actually very dark blue-black. Not long after, Orochimaru was also equipped. After the blue-blue process, a dense oxide film oxidized on the surface. It has no metallic luster and is still a little reflective.

Pulling out the "black cut" from your waist, Orochimaru gives everyone an indescribable strange feeling. In this bright day, it still gives people a feeling of darkness.

"Are you satisfied?" Xiong Eryanei asked.

After taking off his helmet, Zhao Naruto, who originally thought that the golden armor was too expensive, had no intention of giving up. This was the armor he wanted, and this was also the armor that should belong to him. Looking at Xiong Eryane, Zhao Naruto said decisively: "I want a set of golden armor, a set of silver armor, and a set of black armor!"

The price negotiation has nothing to do with Xiong Eryane. Qin Mingxuan, who had been in Japan for more than a year, presided over the meeting. Yi Yu's navy ordered more than 200 sets of armor, including 36 pairs of golden armor and 36 pairs of silver armor, and the other 108 pairs were all black armor. No one wanted the ordinary steel armor.

Facing the staff of the Ministry of Rites, Qin Mingxuan asked someone to take out four large wooden boxes, and after opening it, they were all pearls. Although they were not big, one-quarter of them were round and round beads. The staff of the Ministry of Rites almost glared out his eyes. He never expected that he would have the ability to see so many pearls in his life.

Qin Mingxuan took out a small box and opened it. The staff of the Ministry of Rites could not take their eyes off after just a glance. They were all pink pearls, and the smooth surface reflected soft light in the sunlight. He swallowed his saliva with difficulty. The people of the Ministry of Rites asked with difficulty: "Can I pick it up and take a look."

"Please give me a favor!" Qin Mingxuan said with a smile.

Seeing the people from the Ministry of Rites grab a handful of pearls with their slightly trembling hands and put them in front of their eyes that showed greedy vision, it was quite a sign of putting the pearls into their arms. Qin Mingxuan sighed in his heart that when he first saw so many pearls, he really put the pearls in his arms and poured the pearls on the bed. He threw them on the pearls and rolled on them. After many touching and playing, he could face these things calmly.

Seeing that the guy from the Ministry of Rites was already swaying wildly on the edge of complete temptation, Qin Mingxuan quickly took out the gift and handed it to the guy from the Ministry of Rites, "Brother, we are ready to give you a gift before you come."

After a daze, the guy from the Ministry of Rites saw two strings of beads. The most conspicuous position were two beautiful pink track beads. They looked bigger than the ones in the box.

"Is this for me?" The guy from the Ministry of Rites couldn't believe it.

"No matter how expensive the beads are, they are just objects. The brothers sent by the Ministry of Rites must have a bright future. Giving pearls to heroes is a matter of what they should do." Qin Mingxuan said very politely. When he said this, Qin Mingxuan was thinking about another thing, and he told him to do so. "Mingxuan, people will become greedy. If you raise beads, you will never lack these things. Two strings of beads sent to the escort may save his future. Be convenient for others and yourself."

Thinking back to his aunt's words and watching the rituals gradually return to normal from the brink of losing their composure, Qin Mingxuan admired his aunt's grandeur and kindness, and also felt the terrible greed.

Six days later, the steamboat brought the pearls from Zhao Guanjia Trading Company and the pearls from Qin Mingxuan to his aunt and uncle back to Hangzhou. Qin Yuzhen grabbed a handful of pink pearls and suddenly laughed out loud.

Seeing that his wife was so happy and liked her, Zhao Jiaren asked intriguedly: "Why are you so happy?"

"I originally wanted to say that being rich is like this, but I found that being rich is just like this."

"Haha. Do you know that the box of pearls in your hand can be sold at least 6,000 guan outside."

Qin Yuzhen nodded confidently, "I know. So I said that if you have money, that's just that."

My wife is happy, and Zhao Jiaren is also happy. That's the case with having money. If Qin Yuzhen was the one who bought pearls, she would be just a queen with 6,000 guan. Now Qin Yuzhen cannot be measured by money or pearls at all. What is valuable is not wealth, but people who can create wealth.

Shangshu Xiong didn't know the joy of the official and the queen at this time, so he was immersed in his joy. Although the ten pink pearls were expensive, more importantly, the matter of armor was praised by the officials. This made the Ministry of Rites contract the deal for the first time. The winner was Xiong Eryane from Shangshu Xiong's Shangshu. Whether it was for rust prevention or for appearance, the Japanese seemed to like ordinary steel armor.

When he went to court the next day, the Zhao official family announced a new personnel appointment. Liu Meng, the Minister of Personnel, reached his age and retired gloriously. The new Minister of Personnel was actually appointed by Wen Tianxiang. This appointment surprised many people. Many people thought that Wen Tianxiang might be appointed as the Minister of Revenue, and some even hoped to elect Wen Tianxiang as the right prime minister.

Wen Tianxiang did not pretend to refuse. When he heard the appointment of the official family, he immediately stepped forward to take the order openly. In addition to the wonderful writing, the three men in Yijia must have a good appearance. Wen Tianxiang is nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a plump and beautiful body, as beautiful as jade, with beautiful eyebrows and long eyes, and looking at him.

Such a person walked forward calmly and frankly accepted the appointment of the Minister of Personnel, the first part of the world. Even Xiong Shang felt a bit like looking at the people in the painting. He also keenly discovered that Wen Tianxiang had a bracelet made of pink pearls on his white right hand wrist. If someone else had it, he would probably be a little feminine. Wen Shang felt that the pearls and treasures were so expensive. For a moment, Xiong Shang suddenly felt that it might be a good thing if Wen Shangshu really became Prime Minister Wen.

After the Zhao Guan family made the appointment, the meeting was dismissed. He went home to prepare to entertain his in-laws Zhu Huchen.

At around eleven o'clock, Zhu Huchen took his wife and daughter to Houleyuan. Zhu Huchen respected Zhao Jiaren very much, but he couldn't see how happy he was about this marriage. Zhao Jiaren felt that he and Zhu Huchen might not be happy either. As long as he was a decent family, whoever was full would like to marry the Tian family. Zhu Huchen liked to make some fame in the army, and this marriage would probably have a negative impact on his future. The relatives of the foreign country were never favored, and the previous Yang Liangjie was proof.

The hostesses of the two families were not affected, and their joy came from the heart. The children at home finally got married, which was happier for the mother than anything else. Especially when the two children went to a good school. Qin Yuzhen praised the Zhu family's wife for her good education, and even the girls did not relax at all.

Mrs. Zhu sighed, "They are in a good time. If I could rely on learning at my age, I would definitely go to school to become an official."

Qin Yuzhen nodded, saying that he and Mrs. Zhu thought that they were all delayed. This made both husbands unable to help but show an embarrassing expression, especially Zhao Jiaren, who felt that he was a great female ***er, but now it seemed that he was representing the "emperor" who suppressed women from going to school.

When the blind date was settled, Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but sing a passage to everyone.
