Guiyao responded, and the maids were all kneeling aside, fanning themselves, getting ready. Not long after, two more maids brought in the ice urn.
Yun Zhenlu, who comes to the city from this state, is quite good at enjoying it. The ice cubes in the ice cellar are enough to last County Magistrate Li and his family for several years.
Li Jie was puzzled, what does Yun Zhenlu do with so much ice?
Is it possible that it can still be sold?
But none of this matters anymore, it's all his anyway.
Just make it, it's not his style not to spend the money he picked up.
In the Gaotai Road Room, Guiyao suddenly felt like she was back as a princess in Wanqiu, but this time it was different, less innocent and more charming and mature.
She seemed to have gained a lot of weight after being pregnant, and she would occasionally have cramps at night. In order to replenish her weight, Li Jie often tossed eels and black fish along the way.
As for meat, beef and mutton are sufficient, and the bison herd these days is quite large. Large bison families in the wild also have a three-digit size.
Normally, with such a large population in various countries, it is unlikely that there will be much living space for gregarious wild animals.
But probably because the land is more fertile and the rain and heat are more reasonable, countries can often support more people in the core areas of their countries, and the desire to develop the wilderness is not fulfilled.
County Magistrate Li had already discovered this when he was still Village Magistrate Li.
There is no need to think too much about how many people there are in Gusu, which has a population of 350,000, and in the entire Wangji area.
It's just that the population is too concentrated in the hands of the big nobles, so if it weren't for enfeoffment, a lot of manpower, material and financial resources would not be invested in developing the wasteland.
One acre of real estate in Gusu is worth 500 kilograms. Why should we develop wasteland that will only produce 100 kilograms of garbage per acre in two years?
Unless absolutely necessary, there will be no source of motivation for development.
So he got County Magistrate Li in vain, and the title of "Lord of the Hundred Sands" was really not bragging. As long as County Magistrate Li was willing to ask the old monster for this title, the old monster might actually grant it to him.
It’s something that doesn’t cost money.
"Yaoyao! Guess who I brought to see you——"
Across the street, the loud voices on the verandah still seemed to be blasting in my ears.
Guiyao frowned slightly and put down her work. She was doing embroidery. The maids who served her were half Wu girls and half Yue girls. They had all been trained in embroidery skills. Even in Wu and Yue countries, they were all high-end technical talents.
.
It was Li Jie's idea to let them serve Guiyao. Of course, it was also Guiyao's own suggestion that she wanted to learn something, otherwise it would be too boring and there would be nowhere to kill her time.
County Magistrate Li wanted to write a book called "Looking for Qin" for her to read, but he could only remember how Xiang Shaolong picked up girls and how he pretended to be cool and slapped her in the face. He completely forgot about it.
I regretted it when I used the book. Later, I really felt sorry for Guiyao and dictated some fairy tales, such as "The Calabash Baby vs. Optimus Prime", "Snow White and the Seven Calabash Babies", "The Calabash Baby Thousand Miles to Search for Her Mother", etc.
Wait, I thought this kind of story that no one had heard of would attract Guiyao.
As a result, Li Jie's dictation of the story Ying Jian copied attracted the guards, but Guiyao was not interested at all.
Later, when Chen Guo's little white snake asked Lao Li whether he liked a boy or a girl, Guiyao was ready to learn advanced textile technology.
Fortunately, Lao Li is an outstanding graduate of the Textile College after all. He told Bai Snake Jing that there is no need to discuss this matter. There is no textile technology that does not hurt your hands. Don't touch my white and tender little hands when the time comes.
When I put it on my body, it felt like all the threads were floating.
So the matter was dropped, but it might dampen Little White Snake's enthusiasm for work, so County Magistrate Li thought about it and found some embroidery lovers from Wu Yue along the way, and asked them to serve Little White Snake and teach her embroidery techniques.
.
It's just embroidery, it will hurt your fingers at most, and it won't feel like a condom with threads and floating points on your body.
"The gentleman is in a very good mood today."
Looking at the maids on her left and right with a smile, Guiyao straightened up, folded her hands in front of her, and waited quietly for Li Jie's arrival.
County Magistrate Li walked quickly and laughed loudly after he came in. He was tall and covered the people behind him. Before Guiyang could see the person clearly, she was hugged by Li Jie and said in front of all the maids.
He took a big bite.
"Yaoyao, look!"
Guiyao, who looked shy, was secretly happy. She looked along what Li Jie was pointing and her smile gradually solidified.
"Sister!"
"..."
"Why does my sister look weird?"
"..."
Guiyao looked at Li Jie, then at Chen Zhen, then suddenly broke away from Li Jie and quickly walked to Chen Zhen with bare feet: "Why are you here?!"
"Heading to Xiguo, passing through this place."
Chen Zhen looked at her sister with a puzzled look on her face, "I'm so happy to see you again... I seem to be unhappy?"
"you……"
Guiyao's expression was extremely complicated. She had chatted with Li Jie about Gui Zhen before. When Li Jie heard that she had a sister who was also stunningly beautiful, he was very excited and said that he must get her.
When I heard about it, I just thought it was a fun thing to do in the boudoir.
Looking back now, I am still too young. This man Wu Guoye is serious at all.
Logically speaking, she should be sad when she saw her sister fall into Li Jie's hands, but for some reason, the tears just barely came out of her eyes.
"well……"
With a long sigh, Guiyao held Guizhen in her arms and said softly, "Do you still want to go to Xiguo?"
"You must listen to your father's words."
"Xiguo... probably won't be able to go."
"My sister's speech is similar to that of Wu people."
"Wu man is a piece of shit!"
"..."
Gui Zhen, who looked like she had seen a ghost, suddenly raised her head and widened her big eyes. In her beautiful eyes, there were many doubts and surprises: "Why did my sister say such vulgar words?"
"You will know later."
"..."
"..."
Lao Li, who was standing at the back, felt a little embarrassed, but thought to himself, it was not his fault.
"Why did my sister say that I would never be able to leave the country?"
"because……"
"Hey! Sister, you want to go to Xiguo. It's simple. Just wait a few more days, just a few more days, and we'll go to Xiguo. Do you agree?"
"Thank you Li Zicheng."
"It's easy to say, easy to say...I have always been eager for justice, and everyone in the Jianghuai countries knows it. You must know that the soldiers I have now are called righteous soldiers, which is enough to prove the character of I, Mr. Li."
"What Li Zi said makes sense."
As she said this, Guizhen bowed slightly to show respect.
Gui Yao sighed and looked at Li Jie with complicated eyes, then walked up to Li Jie: "Gentleman..."
"Yao, you should know that I don't have many hobbies..."
"But a gentleman...Although Zhen is smart, he is ignorant. A gentleman, a gentleman..."
The words came to my lips, but I didn’t know how to persuade him.
It's no use trying to persuade me. What are you trying to persuade? I'm trying to persuade you not to fuck my sister.
It's obvious that there's no chance of this happening.
"This kind of ignorant and understanding female lover suits my taste. Besides, Zi said: half of my sister-in-law's butt belongs to her brother-in-law. I am her brother-in-law. It is normal for us to sit here and exchange literature and philosophy."
"..."
Guiyao didn't want to know which "zi" said it, so she looked at Li Jie and said softly: "Gentleman, can you give me some time, and then..."
"Ai!"
Li Jie raised his hand to interrupt Guiyao's words. Li Jie said with a serious look on his face, "Purely academic research, purely academic. Don't always treat me like Fahai is guarding me. We are already an old married couple. Give me some face."
