Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

If it were someone else, they would probably feel that the current scene is a bit deadly. After Liu Cainiang finished speaking, she also woke up like a dream. After seeing the surrounding situation clearly, she immediately looked at Xiao Zirong with a pale face.

Even she didn't know about this matter, so it should be kept secret, but now...

Xiao Zirong just glanced at the people around him and said, "Keep your mouth shut. If you let me know who said it, it won't be as simple as driving them out."

Everyone shuddered for a moment, and the workers in the yard thought of the fate of the person who leaked the situation in the palace, and they were all as quiet as chickens.

As for Zhai Ling and the others, they were surprised, but they didn't seem so surprised.

After all, the Prince Regent and the King of Jinling are indeed too sticky. They have never seen such sticky brothers, let alone righteous brothers, and neither are real brothers.

All questions now have answers.

They didn't say anything, and they didn't even think much about it. Xiao Zirong made these people almost become scientists who devoted themselves to scientific research, and nothing outside could arouse their interest.

So after Xiao Zirong's warning, someone still asked: "Your Highness, the grass seeds and grass clippings can be solved by carbonization. How do you remove the oil from the wool?"

Xiao Zirong said: "Some suet fat has actually been removed when it was just carbonized, and suet fat is very easy to emulsify at high temperatures. This is the emulsification method. What needs to be done is to remove it afterwards. This is the emulsification method. "

When they were discussing this, the first wave of carbonized wool had almost dried up. Because it was experimental in nature, this wave didn't make a lot of it.

As a result, after drying, Xiao Zirong found that the condition of the wool did not seem to be right. The wool that had been carbonized and treated was indeed much cleaner, but it did not look as shiny as before.

Xiao Zirong originally thought it was because of the removal of grease, but when he picked it up, he found that it was indeed because the wool had become rough.

He frowned, and quickly started to browse in the library. He memorized the steps clearly and there was no problem. Why was the result different from what he thought?

After turning over the materials, he realized a very serious problem: too much acid seems to be put in, and the same will happen if the wool absorbs water unevenly.

Xiao Zirong: ...

He turned his head and told Zhai Ling and the others without changing his face, and then asked people to do it again.

But this time, they didn't wait here anymore. After all, he finished what he could say, and the problems that came up were solved. What are they still doing here?

When he was waiting to go back, Xiao Zirong looked at Liu Cainiang's expression of hesitating to speak, and sent Zhai Ling and the others back, then turned to look at Liu Cainiang and asked, "Do you have any questions?"

Liu Cainiang sighed, she was not so excited now, she just said: "You...the regent...how can you be so confused?"

To put it bluntly, she regards Xiao Zirong as a younger brother in her heart, and without a sister, she does not want her brother to have a smooth sailing, but now Xiao Zirong has chosen such a path.

She knew Xiao Zirong's character, and she also knew the regent to some extent. No matter how you look at it, these two people don't seem to be playing around, they must be serious.

What's more, if it's really playing, how can it be played on one of your own?Rabbits still don't eat the grass beside the nest.

If it weren't for seriousness, these two people would definitely not come together.

But the more this is the case, the more worried Liu Cainiang is. This is visible to the naked eye and will not go well.

Xiao Zirong smiled slightly after hearing this: "Don't worry, the two of us have already thought through the consequences since we did it."

His idea is very simple, if Xiao Xuan disagrees, he will elope with Xiao Xuexing!

Of course, the premise is that Xiao Xuexing is willing to go with him, Xiao Zirong still has a little confidence in this point.

He is an expert in such things as running away. As for things like having no money, status, or status, he is not afraid, and he will never fail to survive wherever he goes.

He can even raise Xiao Xuexing.

He even felt a little irritated at the thought of this.

It's just that even if it's elopement, it can't be now, he can't leave with peace of mind until he is sure that Qi Guo can suppress Wei Guo and don't need him and Xiao Xuexing to worry about it.

Otherwise, wouldn't he give up halfway after tossing so much?

Moreover, Xiao Xuexing was still thinking about taking Yuan Ke back to avenge him. It is estimated that Xiao Xuexing was unwilling to leave even if this goal could not be achieved.

So the matter between him and Xiao Xuexing must not be exposed.

Liu Cainiang sighed again, Xiao Zirong was so sure, she knew that persuasion would definitely be impossible, but...she was really worried.

Xiao Zirong didn't seem to be worried about anything, and even asked the leader of the female caravan for questioning.

The main question was about women's country. In fact, not only he was curious, but even Xie Junsheng and the others were very curious.

The leader seemed a little nervous, but he articulated clearly and described the situation in Nuguo.

As a caravan, they naturally couldn't meet people with high status, but they had a little understanding of the civilian life there.

In fact, although Nvguo favors women, there is no difference in daily life at first glance.

Men still have to do hard work, the only difference is that women are more free, want to get married, want to get married, want to get divorced, have children with the mother's surname, women can go out at will, and more businessmen are women.

After listening to it for a while, Chai Shuren couldn't help muttering, "Why is this so similar to Taoyuan City?"

Xiao Zirong chuckled lightly: "This is because you didn't understand. The essence of Taoyuan City is to pursue equality between men and women. It is difficult to talk on an equal footing. Do you still want women to have a higher status?"

Xie Junsheng and others still feel that it is similar to Taoyuan City, but Xiao Zirong knows that this is because men are used to eating bonuses, and whenever women share something from them, they feel that women are going to ride on their heads .

Xiao Zirong told the leader to do more business with Nuguo, and he could continue to expand the caravan, then got up and said: "If you really want to understand, I will throw you to Nuguo for a while, and then go to Taoyuan City for a while. You'll understand in time."

Chai Shuren and Xie Junsheng looked at Xiao Zirong's back with some confusion: "Why does Your Highness value women so much?"

If they hadn't confirmed that His Highness was indeed a young gentleman, they would have wondered if this princess was disguised as a man.

Regarding their question, if Xiao Zirong were to answer it, he would probably say: "Of course because the superiors have to have a long-term perspective."

In the eyes of the rulers, there is no distinction between men and women. As long as they can create economic value and build a country, men and women are the same.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Xiao Zirong is entirely for the sake of women, he just thinks that half of the population is in a state of wasted labor, and it is a pity that they cannot display their due talents.

But he definitely won't make it like the women's country. In fact, the current situation is already at its limit. He gave the little ladies a chance. Although this opportunity is still far behind that of men, it depends on them whether they can seize it. own up.

In addition to wool, the caravans traveling with the women's country also brought some special products, such as wine made from local crops, yak meat, etc. Naturally, blankets also brought a lot.

Xiao Zirong left some good quality food to pack and take with him during the Chinese New Year.

A year passed by in the blink of an eye, and it wasn't until the end of the year that he realized that the time had passed quickly. It felt like he had done a lot this year, but he didn't seem to have done anything.

The Yunjin Dahualou wooden loom has already started to operate, and the Shu brocade with a width of one meter is almost a rare treasure in the world. This thing was directly put into the list of tributes by Xiao Zirong.

Another thing is wool and cashmere clothes. For a while now, he has asked people to make inner clothes. As for the outer clothes, because of the existence of uniforms, they are mostly ordinary clothes.

It's a pity that members of the royal family, especially those with a relatively high status, are in charge of the treasury even if they wear regular clothes, so he directly made a fuss about inner clothes.

The most carefully prepared clothes are Xiao Zhun's clothes. For children, the skin is delicate, so they must be light and soft if they want to wear it close to the body.

In order to obtain enough light, soft and warm enough clothing materials, the person in charge of wool spinning was forced to be bald by Xiao Zirong, and he was in a hurry all day long.

Fortunately, it was finally done.

As for the rest is the progress of the industrial zone, with the addition of the barbarians, the pace of construction in the industrial zone has been accelerated a lot. Thanks to Xiao Zirong's foresight, he had people dig the soil to dry in the morning, otherwise the soil for making bricks might be useless. not enough.

After exhorting all the things that need to be paid attention to during the Chinese New Year, Xiao Zirong embarked on a journey back to Beijing.

This new year is no different from previous years, the biggest difference is probably that Xiao Zirong and Xiao Xuexing will hide in the ground when they don't need to go out to meet people.

Don't ask, asking is to save face.

Xiao Zirong didn't think too much about being unable to control his voice under emotional agitation, but Xiao Xuexing's techniques became more sophisticated, and it wasn't just because he didn't want to.

The only thing that comforted him was that Xiao Xuexing restrained himself from touching those little toys.

When the new year was over, Xiao Zirong was thinking whether to go back and wait for Xiao Xuexing's birthday before coming back, or to stay until the end of Xiao Xuexing's birthday like last time. Xiao Xuexing touched his head and asked: "Your Majesty has already begun to make people prepare for it." Your coronation ceremony is over, have you decided who to invite as a guest of honor?"

Xiao Zirong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then realized: Yes, he is already twenty.

He looked up at Xiao Xuexing and was about to ask Xiao Xuexing's opinion, but he saw Xiao Xuexing staring at him, wanting to survive, Xiao Zirong hugged Xiao Xuexing's waist and said: "Of course I want my brother to come, if you like it, let the big brother come." bring it on."

Xiao Xuexing nodded in satisfaction, patted Xiao Zirong's head and said, "I've chosen a good word for you."

Xiao Zirong was instantly ashamed, he himself had forgotten about it.

However, what he didn't expect was that because of his handwriting, the king regent almost fought with the emperor.
