In Mrs. Korea’s impression, the Lord of Jinxiang County has always had a cold temperament. It would not be wrong to call her an iceberg beauty. She has a very good sense of etiquette in life and propriety in speech.
It's just that the Lord of Jinxiang County is a bit indifferent to people he doesn't know very well, beyond basic courtesy.
Unexpectedly, she smiled at Li Qinzai again and again today. The Korean lady's eyes suddenly glowed with gossip, and her charming eyes kept turning around the two of them.
There is something wrong with these two people!
The Korean lady winked a few times, then suddenly smiled and said: "You guys..."
Before he finished speaking, the Lord of Jinxiang County hurriedly said: "We are casual acquaintances. County Uncle Li and I have only met a few times. His wife has been a close friend of mine for many years, that's all."
The Korean lady looked at Li Qinzai and said, "Really?"
Li Qinzai laughed dryly. Although he didn't know what kind of "casual acquaintance" she meant, he could see that the Lord of Jinxiang County was eager to clear up the relationship.
"That's right, I have never had any contact with the county master, but I fell in love with her father at first sight, and we became so close that we almost became brothers with different surnames."
The Lord of Jinxiang County became angry again, staring at him hatefully with his beautiful almond eyes.
Mrs. Korea sneered and said: "You are full of nonsense. I can no longer believe you. I have known many men in my life, but you are the most glib and dare to take advantage of the county master in front of him."
Seeing Jin Xiang gnashing his teeth in anger, Li Qinzai didn't dare to be mean-mouthed anymore, otherwise he might not be able to catch the woman if she really went crazy.
The dancers entered the hall and danced their sleeves gracefully, like butterflies fluttering among the flowers.
It has been two years since Li Qinzai came to the Tang Dynasty. He has seen many dance troupes at the banquets of powerful people, but the dance performances at the houses of Korean ladies are different.
I don’t know if these dancers were personally trained by Korean ladies. The dances they performed were full of coquettishness from the inside out. Every movement seemed to be aimed at arousing the original desires of the guests. The look in their eyes while dancing made people feel soft in their hands and feet.
, dry mouth and tongue.
After admiring it for a while, Li Qinzai didn't dare to look at the dancer anymore. At this moment, all his energy was used to suppress Xiao Lizi who was about to move.
Mrs. Han and Jin Xiang were both women, so naturally they were not interested in the seductive dancing of the dancers. They both glanced at Li Qinzai intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Qinzai's uncomfortable reaction caught Jin Xiang's eyes, and he couldn't help but snorted secretly, curled his lips and spat in a low voice: "Humph, you dog man!"
But the Korean lady stared at him openly, smiling as if she didn't know what she was thinking.
After a long time, Jin Xiang suddenly clapped his hands and ordered the dancers to retreat.
The Korean lady seemed to see something and said with a smile: "Sister, what's wrong? Why did you stop suddenly?"
Jin Xiang said calmly: "It's not a good dance."
The Korean lady blinked: "Then, let them change the dance."
Jin Xiang still said calmly: "It's very noisy, so why not drink quietly."
Li Qinzai looked at the two girls and was a little curious about their relationship.
The father of the Lord of Jinxiang County was the licking dog of the Korean lady. After licking her for so long, the Korean lady still showed no pretense, obviously she didn't like him.
But the relationship between Mrs. Korea and Jin Xiang seems to be good. They were her guests when they were in Bingzhou, and now they are also together in Chang'an. These two are probably best friends. Considering the age gap between the two, they should be regarded as best friends who have been together for many years.
How did a coquettish woman and a woman with an indifferent temperament become best friends? Could it be that the way the two get along is that the Korean lady dances "Come on, be happy", while Jin Xiang just looks aside with cold eyes
Looking at it?
I can’t imagine the scene, I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
"The wine has been drunk. Madam, let's get down to business. I'm rushing out of the city." Li Qinzai said after finishing a glass of wine.
The Korean lady smiled and said: "After all, he is a young boy and his patience is too short. Whatever, I will just say it."
Mrs. Korea's expression changed as she spoke, and she suddenly became serious, saying: "Everyone in the world knows that Uncle Li is extremely talented, and he can make a weapon of great use to the country if he just manipulates it. But few people in the world know that Uncle Li made it."
These things are also of great benefit to merchants."
"Li County Bomo is weird. I have inquired before. The gunpowder, divine arm and bow you made are all state weapons. Naturally, I don't dare to covet them. However, there is also a method of turning water into ice for the beauty cream.
I admire you very much..."
Li Qinzai narrowed his eyes. It turned out that the Korean lady was thinking about his things.
"I'm sorry, madam, I have already partnered with others for the two things you mentioned. Both the Xue family and the Xu family are involved. It's really not appropriate to add others to the partnership, as it will offend others."
The Korean lady smiled sweetly and said: "Okay, I don't have the idea of retaining cream and ice cubes, but... I heard that you have created another thing called 'cement', and the court has been in trouble these days because of it.
There has been such a fuss, this cement probably hasn’t found a partner yet, right?”
Li Qinzai burst out laughing: "Madam, you must have too much appetite. Cement is a national commodity. After it was first made, I presented the secret recipe to Your Majesty. From now on, whether it is kiln burning or road construction, it will all be managed by local governments.
, I will no longer interfere, let alone sell the cement for money."
Mrs. Korea's expression did not change and she said: "If the things used by the country cannot be calculated in terms of money, it will definitely be a disaster for the country."
Li Qinzai was startled, then looked thoughtful.
From a business standpoint that will last for thousands of years, Mrs. Korea’s words are correct.
Even the most important gunpowder, three-eyed blunderbuss and other items, from design to production, from labor to cost, actually have a price, and there must be a price. It is impossible to attribute all costs to the country just by saying "national use"
Zero, this will cause the entire business system to collapse.
Therefore, even if it is national-level fighter planes, weapons, battleships, etc. in later generations, the units that manufacture them are in the name of corporate groups and provide them to the army, and the army still has to pay for them.
This is not as simple as left hand switching to right hand, but maintaining the continuous development of a commodity, allowing design, development, raw materials, manufacturing, sales, etc. to form a virtuous cycle, so that weapons have an economic basis for continuous upgrading.
.
At present, the business model of the Tang Dynasty is actually very primitive. With the emperor's order, all kinds of raw materials and labor will be continuously concentrated in the firearms supervision department. Under the constraints of the feudal system, whatever the emperor needs, the whole country will be devoted to it.
, price and cost, no one will mention it at all.
If the court does not give money, then the labor, raw material collection, manufacturing costs, etc. can only be deducted from taxes from various places. The government taxes have already been arranged, so there is a large amount of unplanned expenses. The rest
Where taxes are needed, they must be reduced.
It may not matter once or twice, but levying these raw materials year after year will inevitably lead to the collapse of the entire system over time.
If the things used by the country cannot be calculated in terms of money, it will be a disaster for the country.
This sentence is very classic and very correct. Li Qinzai really couldn't believe that it was actually said by a Korean lady.
"I didn't expect Madam to be so knowledgeable, and I admire her greatly." Li Qinzai said sincerely.
Mrs. Korea covered her mouth and smiled: "I admire you so much. I didn't say these words."
"Who said that?"
"Of course she is my biological sister who is not inferior to men."
