Finally, Mingruo relied on his "extraordinary intelligence" and the price of one educational toy per month to ask Mr. Yu to come out and build a building, ship, and warship.
On the way back, Yan Zhaobai asked: "Xiao Jiuer, where have you seen that twisting dice before?"
Of course it’s in my country, but I can’t tell you: “I saw an illustration in a book, which explained the restoration method.”
"You can learn it just by reading..." Yan Zhaobai suddenly had doubts about his IQ. Not to mention reading, even after watching Ming Ruo teach Lao Yutou with his own eyes, he didn't learn it.
"There are specialties in martial arts. Fifth brother is not good at playing with these things, but he is good at arranging troops and formations." Mingruo felt that Yan Zhaobai was definitely a promising young man and could not bear to see him suffer a blow.
Yan Zhaobai glanced at the black sesame glutinous rice balls served by the old god. This did not comfort me.
Bai Shen has already prepared other matters in the shipyard, including the craftsmen. Now he has invited Lao Yutou to serve as the 'chief engineer' of the shipyard. It can be said that everything is ready and just waiting to start.
That night, Si Haochen took Mingruo to the shipbuilding warehouse and took out all the iron nanmu stored in the space. Si Haochen also gave Bai Shen a battleship blueprint and asked them to try their best to build something similar to this blueprint.
The same battleship is coming.
"I will do my best to build a battleship." Bai Shen took the blueprint and put it away carefully.
"Everything is mainly about the shipyard. If Mr. Bai is too busy, Jian Mingxuan will leave now." Although Mingruo thinks it is important to make a small amount of money, he must not miss the main business.
"No matter how busy you are, my subordinates have asked shopkeeper Sun to start training the chefs. They will be delivered in two months. It will definitely not delay the original opening date.
The cook who is now trying to make dim sum and milk tea in Yunzhuang Building should be well-trained by then and can be responsible for the dessert station. "
In Bai Shen's view, building battleships is important, but making money is also important. Food, weapons, and battleships are not made of real money. Bai Shen has a hunch that this battleship will be the most expensive one built under his supervision.
Damn it. If we don’t increase revenue and reduce expenditure now, I’m afraid we won’t be able to fill this huge hole in the future.
"Then Master Bai, let's take care of it. Just don't delay the prince's business." Every time he saw Bai Shen looking like he was interested in money, Mingruo felt a sense of urgency, always feeling that the palace was not far away from running out of food.
#@$&
"My subordinates understand." Bai Shen went about his business in a hurry. Opening a store in Nanrong and doing business in the capital city is no less generous than in Donghuan. The backstage is very hard. If you don't pull the wool, it's not Bai Shen's style.
Speaking of the backstage of Yunzhuang Tower, all the civil servants and generals were very flustered. It can be said that the emperor became gloomy and cold-tempered due to the poisoning of Queen Wende more than ten years ago. This time, after the death of Queen Wende, the emperor's temper became even worse.
The wave clouds became strange.
Zhang Yushi refused to stop him, but the emperor not only refused to let anyone stop him, but also said that if he was not killed, Zhang Yushi would be just trying to gain fame. Zhang Yushi didn't really want to die, so in the end he could only pretend to be faint, and he had to be so faint that he could not get away from the emperor.
The Panlong Pillar in front of the steps is far away.
All the courtiers had no choice but to face the emperor who had completely let himself go.
Yan Yuan: I am determined to be the king of subjugation, but I still have some worries.%&(&
After settling things in Nanrong, Mingruo and Si Haochen were about to leave for Donghuan. Zisu, Zicao Jiyue and others were busy packing their luggage. Yan Yuan asked Eunuch Liu to send many things, including food and clothing.
The cost is everything. If you bring all this, you will probably need to load three more carriages. Mingruo feels that the father's "father's love" is really heavy.
Mingruo said that there were too many things to carry, so he asked the merchant ship from Yunzhuanglou to take them back. In fact, they were all stored in the space, and he planned to sort them out slowly when he had time.
The pier in the early morning was shrouded in thin mist. When Mingruo and the others arrived at the pier, they found Yan Yuan and Yan Zhaobai already waiting there. Both of them were wearing moon-white clothes, which looked a bit unreal in the faint morning light.
"Daddy, don't you have to go to court this morning?" Mingruo asked with a smile.
"It's not as important as the little princess you sent me as a gift." Yan Yuan touched Mingruo's head, "If you suffer any injustice in Donghuan, write a letter and tell daddy, and daddy will send someone to pick you back."
Si Haochen felt that this was an advantage for his father-in-law, so he really didn't want it.
Mingruo nodded happily: "Yeah, I understand."
"This is the tangerine peel candy you like to eat. In the box are some clothing materials I got earlier, for you to make clothes to wear." Yan Zhaobai handed a bag of candy to Mingruo, and then asked Chang Shan to carry a big box onto the boat.
, "Fifth brother will go to Donghuan to see you when he has time. If you have anything, please write."
"Okay." Mingruo reluctantly got on the boat.
The big ship started and moved further and further away from the shore. Only when Paijia and Fifth Brother were no longer visible did Mingruo return to the cabin.
Ji Xue brought breakfast: "Princess, you haven't had breakfast yet, please use some."
"Let's put it there first." Mingruo didn't have much appetite now.
"Sister Jiyue, come and help me. The box sent by His Highness Prince Chun is too heavy." Zisu wanted to move the box to the inner room.
"Okay." Jiyue stepped forward to help.
"Wait a minute, let me see what kind of clothing materials are there." Mingruo was a little curious as to what kind of clothing materials the fifth brother had given her.
"Yes." Zi Su opened the lock and opened the lid of the box with Ji Yue, "Ah, this is Shuiyun Satin..."
"Well, water damask satin is most suitable for autumn clothing. The thickness is just right." Jiyue gently stroked the water-soft brocade.
"There are also various kinds of pure yarns and flowing brocades below." Zi Su became more and more excited as she looked at them. These are rare and good materials, and they are perfect for making clothes for the princess.
"There's nothing to do on the ship. Let's make some new clothes for the princess." Ji Yue felt itchy when she saw these good materials. She wished she could use this fine Qinsu yarn to make a hibiscus skirt for the princess right away.
Put it on.
"OK."
Zisu and Jiyue hit it off immediately, and while sorting out the clothing materials, they discussed which materials should go with which materials and what patterns to embroider, and they were very involved.
"There are still a lot of clothes that haven't been worn yet, so there's no need to make any more." Ming Ruo felt it was necessary to interrupt them.
"The Shouning Festival will be in two months, and there will definitely be a palace banquet. Then there will be birthdays for several masters in the palace. Just for these banquets, five or six sets of new clothes will be prepared..." Zi Su broke off the
Count on your fingers.
"In this case, let's make three sets first." Ji Yue selected a piece of Qinsu yarn and a piece of wateryun satin.
This Shouning Festival is Emperor Danxu's birthday. Last year, she asked Si Haochen to draw a painting as a birthday gift. It would be inappropriate to give a painting this year.
However, Mingruo was reluctant to give something too expensive to Emperor Danxu. After all, Prince Yun's Mansion had to support an army of 300,000 people, so the money had to be used wisely and could not be wasted on Emperor Danxu.
