At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner
Chapter 73 Making a Deal with the Regent
"No rush. The most important thing to me is the second crop of rice. How about I return to Beijing with the princess after the autumn harvest? These are also your suggestions, princess! I wouldn't have thought of so many things without your suggestions." Lord Li patted the fertilizer in his hand happily.
"All of this is thanks to Lord Li. How can a little girl like me snatch the credit from you, Lord Li?" Yu Yunxin replied.
Lord Li laughed and said, "You are a girl who is interesting and not greedy for credit."
After leaving Chenjia Village, Yu Yunxin asked Chunyu to go to Kangzhuang Town to bring a few buckets of ice jelly to several adults who were still working around the biogas tank of Mr. Li so that they could taste the delicious ice jelly.
Now ice jelly is selling like hot cakes in Nanling County and Kangzhuang Town. Although the money is not much, she is very happy.
Looking at the winter wheat that is almost ripe in the wheat fields, the joy of a good harvest comes to my mind again.
"My princess, Master Li is really amazing!" Chunyu said. She then asked, "By the way, where did the young master go?"
"Chunyu, are you interested in big brother? Don't worry, he will go out and relax for two days and he will be back in a few days." Yu Yunxin said.
"Is the eldest young master going back to Beijing after he comes back?" Chunyu asked.
"Yes, Chunyu, how about you come back to Beijing with me and help me set up a few shops in the capital?" Yu Yunxin knew what Chunyu was thinking and agreed with Chunyu.
When Chunyu heard this, Qiu Shuang, who was standing aside, said jokingly, "Chunyu, you have the talent of a big shopkeeper. How about you let me go back to Beijing, Princess!"
"Qiushuang, why are you bullying me again? Princess, I am willing to return to Beijing." Chunyu said with a smile.
"Okay, Chunyu, hurry up and deliver the ice jelly to Lord Li and the others! Otherwise it will be too late and Lord Li and the others will need dinner." Upon hearing this, Chunyu immediately asked the coachman to drive the carriage to Kangzhuang Town.
Mu Zhongye came to Yunmeng Pavilion and found Yu Yunxin who was admiring the peony flowers by the pond and said, "Princess Lan Yishen wants to see you."
"No!" Yu Yunxin replied coldly. Her mood of enjoying the flowers was disturbed by this Mu Laohei.
He stood up and carried the little wolf back to the house, but was stopped by Mu Zhongye. Lan Yishen said, "It's a good thing for you to make Nandian a vassal state of Dacheng for a deal. It's a good thing that the people of Dacheng and Nandian can solve the problem peacefully without fighting."
"Lan Yishen is only the regent of Southern Dian. Can he be the master of the King of Southern Dian?" Yu Yunxin asked.
"Give him some time and he can go back and persuade them." Mu Zhongye said, "He has the blood poison of thirty-six tribes on him and all the leaders of thirty-six tribes listen to him."
"I have been fooled by him once, how can you believe what he says?" Yu Yunxin said.
"He said that he would leave his natal golden snake Gu in the hands of the princess." Mu Zhongye said.
"You were fooled by him because he has the Golden Snake Gu here! That snake was raised by his mother and he has been using it to make poison since he was a child. Aren't you afraid that I will be bitten to death by the snake?" Yu Yunxin said, "You can't even find a better excuse."
"What does the princess want to do in order to see him?" Mu Zhongye said.
Yu Yunxin thought about it and said, "This county lord wants all the flower valleys in Nandian and asks him to draw a map."
"Ah! Is the princess still going?" Mu Zhongye asked.
"You go back first! I'll get ready." Yu Yunxin replied.
If she could absorb more vitality from the Flower Valley, her kung fu would probably be able to improve by several levels. If she returns to Beijing, she will have no chance to absorb the vitality of the flowers anymore, so she might as well choose Southern Dian Kingdom.
As she was thinking about it, she found Qiu Shuang, Yun Shan, Yan Luo and told them about her plan to go to Nan Dian Kingdom to find the Flower Valley.
"Is the princess too dangerous?" Yanluo asked.
She now has the little wolf, the wolves, the monkeys, and the big ball, so they shouldn't be in any danger.
"It's okay. My little wolf is a wolf military strategist. It won't be a problem for it to deal with the Gu Master or other tribes." Yu Yunxin said.
"I'm looking for a few sisters who know kung fu to accompany the princess!" Yunshan said.
"Let's find four more people! I will give you the Nine Palace Formation before you go. When I am practicing, you can use the Nine Palace Formation to protect me. Having too many people will only cause trouble." Yu Yunxin said.
Yunshan understood what Yu Yunxin meant. If Yanyu Manor wants to become strong, their leader must first become strong. Now the old manor owner is very safe in the forbidden area of Qingyi Tower. There is only the new manor owner in front of them. The four of them are the manor owner's protectors and must follow the manor owner. Yunshan immediately discussed with Yanluo Qionglou Haiwang to choose which four candidates.
In Kangzhuang Town, Hu Li and Xuanzhu are there. Xuanyuan is there, Chunyu is there temporarily too. Grandma's family is in Chayuan Village, and Xuanjing and Xuanying are also there in Huashan Village. I am relieved to have Xuanying with her. What I am most worried about now is the papermaking workshop in Cuizhu Village. I don't know how it is now.
So Yu Yunxin asked Qiu Shuang to prepare some weapons first. Although He Yanqin had a bamboo umbrella, it could be used for self-defense and rain protection, so she asked Qiu Shuang to get ten umbrellas, one for each person, and prepare some silver needles and throwing knives. Darts and hidden weapons were essential for self-defense.
What she wanted to see most was the papermaking workshop. When she arrived at the papermaking workshop, it was already completed. When Xuan Zi and the others saw her, they immediately welcomed her into the workshop. There was a large courtyard surrounded by more than a dozen rooms. In the outermost room, a group of men were smashing bamboo with stone hammers, and another group was making bamboo pulp. In another room, the women were boiling bamboo pulp water and scooping paper and drying it. They all wore masks and special cotton clothes, and even cotton gloves on their hands.
Xuan Zi took out the yellowed bamboo pulp paper that had just been made by the papermaking workshop. Although the color was not good, the paper was very soft, like a tissue, and the water absorption was also good. There was also a kind of bamboo paper, which was also yellowish and could be used for writing.
Yu Yunxin looked at the two types of paper and said, "Xuan Zi, let's make this soft paper!"
"Princess, I understand that this kind of paper feels soft and can be used to wipe your face and buttocks." Xuan Zi said.
Yu Yunxin smiled and said, "Xuan Zi, we are going to make paper for women. By the way, we can also make some sanitary napkins."
"What is a sanitary napkin?" Xuan Zi asked curiously.
"There are women in Yanyu Manor who have their period every month, don't they?" Yu Yunxin looked at Xuan Zi and said, "So we women have to pay attention to hygiene and use low-cost bamboo pulp paper."
After Yu Yunxin finished speaking, she came to the papermaking workshop and asked Zixuan to get a basket of cotton. Yu Yunxin began to study the water-absorbent non-woven fabric. This is a high-polymer fiber that requires high temperature and high pressure bonding to complete.
After multiple processing steps of cotton, hammering and high temperature heating, a relatively thick non-woven fabric is finally made. This is the only way to make it without modern machines.
He took out cotton thread and started making the first simple sanitary napkin in ancient times.
Xuan Zi took a look and asked, "Is this the sanitary napkin that you mentioned for women?"
Yu Yunxin nodded and told Xuan Zi, Xuan Yu, and Xuan Bai the method, and asked them to select some female workers to make the sanitary napkins. She also thought of some traditional Chinese medicines for preventing gynecological diseases. These were for women, and those with the scent of dried flowers were for young girls. She made several styles for both day and night use.
Xuan Zi praised: "My princess, you have thought of this very carefully. Don't worry, I believe it will be a big hit after it is finished."
Yu Yunxin drew several kinds of packaging, including cloth bags with flowers and paper boxes with cartoon and ancient style, which women like. I didn't expect that it was already late at night when I stayed in the papermaking workshop.
She had no choice but to live in the same room with Xuan Zi in the papermaking workshop. Originally, Xuan Zi wanted to give up the room and she would live in the same room with Xuan Yu, but Yu Yunxin didn't mind sharing a room with Xuan Zi. At night, she drew a few simple packages, and the names Yue Shuan and Qing Jing Rou Zhi took her a long time to come up with.
I fell asleep only when I was extremely tired, and woke up only when the sun was high in the sky. I was also woken up by Qiu Shuang.
"Princess, that General Mu is here again. He went to Yunmengxuan but didn't find you. He didn't expect you to be here?" Qiu Shuang said as she was about to comb Yu Yunxin's hair and dress her up.
She cooperated very well and ate breakfast leisurely before going out. As soon as she went out, Mu Zhongye came to meet her.
"Princess, I have been looking for you for several hours. Lan Yishen has found all the flower valleys you want. The map is here."
Mu Zhongye took out a map and said, "I sent spies to investigate, and they found that there are indeed flower valleys there. What are you looking for, Princess?"
"Practice!" Yu Yunxin said directly.
"Oh!" Mu Zhongye didn't ask any more questions: "Did you see Lan Yishen?"
"He has given me the Flower Valley of Southern Dian. How can I not go?" Yu Yunxin replied. Then they left the papermaking workshop and arrived at the gate of Cuizhu Village when Hai Wang drove over in a carriage.
"Princess, the four of us have already chosen the person you want." Hai Wang said as he got off the carriage.
"Purple and red willow catkins are flying, come out and greet our new owner, Princess Xingguo." Yunshan said as he led everyone out of the carriage and said, "The four of them are the best in martial arts and Qinggong among the three outer disciples."
Yu Yunxin looked at the three and said, "This time we are going to Nandian to practice martial arts. I, the princess, will also help you improve your strength, but you also know that Nandian is a complicated country. You must obey the arrangements and pay attention to your own safety. Do you understand?"
After hearing this, the three of them looked at Yunshan and said, "Don't worry, Princess. Senior Sister Yunshan has told us. We will all follow your arrangements."
"Qiushuang, distribute all the weapons to them!" Yu Yunxin said. Qiushuang quickly took out an umbrella from the carriage and handed one to Yunshan, Caiziyanhong and others.
Several people took the umbrella and looked at it with curiosity. Yunshan Yanluo had seen the power of the umbrella, but they had never seen the colorful willow catkins fluttering.
Yu Yunxin said: "Get on the carriage first, I will teach you."
Several people separated and got into two carriages, which galloped towards Nanchuan City.
When they arrived at the foot of Nanchuan City, Yu Yunxin did not let Qiu Shuang and Yun Shan follow. She gave Qiong Lou a Nine Palace Formation Diagram and said, "You guys wait for me in the open space. I will teach you this formation diagram. You teach them how to use this formation here."
Qiong Lou took the formation diagram and said, "Don't worry, Princess!"
Yu Yunxin nodded, took Mi Li with her and Mu Zhongye into the city.
"Princess Lan Yishen is also the regent of Southern Dian Kingdom. General Lin did not make things difficult for them and let them stay in the guest room of the county government office in Nanchuan City. General Lin even praised you and said you did a good job this time!" Mu Zhongye said.
As soon as I arrived at the Nanchuan County Government, General Lin came out to greet me and said with a smile, "Xin'er, you have really helped my grandfather's family a lot."
"Grandfather, don't say that. I was just lucky to meet him." Yu Yunxin replied.
"Lan Yishen said that he would make Nan Dian a vassal state of Dacheng and would also give the two jade mines that the emperor wanted. He just asked me to give him some time." Lin Cunfeng said.
"Grandfather, you have arranged everything, so you don't need to tell me. However, Lan Yishen is very unpredictable, so it would be best to control him." Yu Yunxin said.
"Lan Yishen also put forward a condition. He wants to see you. I know what he is thinking?" Lin Cunfeng hesitated to speak.
Yu Yunxin also understood and said, "Grandfather, don't worry, I know what to do."
When Lin Cunfeng heard this, he nodded and let Yu Yunxin enter the living room with confidence.
As soon as you enter the living room, you will see that the decoration here is not from the Central Plains, but from the southern Yunnan style. Lan Yishen sat in the main seat and tasted the tea: "Dacheng's tea is really fragrant!"
"Lan Yishen, just tell me whatever you want to say. You should know my purpose for coming here." Yu Yunxin said to Lan Yishen who was sitting aside.
"No hurry, Princess, please sit down and have a cup of tea first! I heard from Lin Jing and the general that you like drinking tea the most." Lan Yishen looked at Yu Yunxin who walked in and his eyes fell on her.
"But that was in the past. I don't like drinking tea now." Yu Yunxin replied and summoned a few white butterflies and scattered some insect repellent pollen on the table and stools. Then she sat down opposite Lan Yishen.
"The princess is really careful!" Lan Yishen said as he looked at the white butterflies that sprinkled pollen on the tables and chairs.
"You are a Gu Master. The incident with the fire lotus seeds last time made me have to be careful with you," Yu Yunxin replied.
"Since! The princess is so wary of me, then I will just say it directly! My area of Nan Dian is all mountains and dense forests, there are no good farms. My royal family survives by relying on the coarse grains distributed by Nan Dian City, and the same is true for other tribes." Lan Yishen said.
"Why are you looking for me if you want to make a deal with Dacheng?" Yu Yunxin asked.
"I heard that the princess came up with the idea of a second crop of rice last year, which allowed the southern part of Dacheng to have two bumper harvests. Princess, our Nandian State has jade mines and some medicinal herbs, which can be traded with your fine grains." Lan Yishen said, "The princess is also a businessman, and should know the benefits of first-hand transactions."
Yu Yunxin heard this and said, "You are right, but I still cannot trade with you privately for fine grains. I have to let the court decide. However, fruits, vegetables and tea produced in Nanling County are fine."
In ancient times, it was not allowed to privately sell large quantities of grain to other countries.
Lan Yishen smiled when he heard it. Yu Yunxin looked at Lan Yishen's smile and then said, "I have several farms in Nanling County. I can ask General Mu to send some of the fruits and vegetables I mentioned to the prince to taste."
After he finished speaking, he was about to stand up and leave. Lan Yishen said, "Princess, don't you want to have some tea before you leave?"
"I, the princess, don't dare to drink your tea. If Your Majesty is ready to cooperate with me, I will invite you to my teahouse for a drink." Yu Yunxin said and left. Without waiting for Lan Yishen to speak, she flashed outside.
Looking at Mu Zhongye, she smiled and said, "General Mu, I have something to trouble you with." Then Yu Yunxin told Lin Cunfeng about the deal that Lan Yishen had mentioned.
