"Buying wool?"
"Royal grandmother doesn't have to spend so much money!"
The wool at this time was considered waste, the kitchen waste from eating sheep, so Emperor Jianyuan naturally felt that Bai Sheng did this to help him share the pressure.
At the same time, let the Huns gain benefits.
I am even more satisfied with the outcome of this peace negotiation.
But it's not necessary, it's really not necessary, there is no need to let the Xiongnu take advantage of this, and the Xiongnu don't have too many sheep, just collect a little wool, but as his imperial grandmother just said, buy in unlimited quantities, He was a little afraid that his royal grandmother would go bankrupt.
The most important thing is that when the money in his grandmother's hands runs out, the young master will definitely have to pay for it later.
What will be lost then is his interests.
It's equivalent to him paying for it.
Bai Sheng didn't think that far and just comforted:
"Don't worry, Aijia will definitely not lose money when harvesting wool. Aijia can extract some suet from the wool, and at the same time, it can clean the wool, spin it into thread, knit sweaters, or make cashmere sweaters.
In short, the final product will definitely cost more than three pennies.
And if there is enough wool and the price of the finished product is low, fewer people will freeze to death after winter. "
Nowadays, the technology of lye has been broken. Although it may not be that pure, there is no problem in using it to wash wool. The quality of wool after degreasing and deodorizing will definitely not be as good as that in thousands of years, but it is definitely enough for now.
Technical conditions are limited and we cannot insist on perfection.
As if afraid that Emperor Jianyuan would not believe it, Bai Sheng continued:
"We have all the raw materials, so the Ai family will send someone to wash some wool later and show it to you in the evening.
Then you will know the confidence of the Ai family. "
Emperor Jianyuan did not delve into the issue of truth or falsehood, because he felt that since his imperial grandmother said so, it could not be false, and there was no need to tell lies that could be exposed as soon as they were exposed:
"Royal Grandma, you seem to have changed a lot.
In the past, you would always care about government affairs, my relationship with Gillian, and my health, and you would often recruit Wei Qihou into the palace. Recently, you don't seem to care about any of this. Instead, you are very focused on the skills of those craftsmen.
And the results are remarkable and quite inspiring.
Now it’s time to go into full business again…
Can you tell me your true purpose? "
Emperor Jianyuan now really felt that he was not sure what his imperial grandmother wanted to do. If she wanted to contact the princes and kings to cause trouble, she should have declared failure by now. The early stage was used to cover up business and so on. There is no need to continue.
But now he, the royal grandmother, seems to be addicted to it. Not only does she insist on developing various new technologies, but she also wants to expand the scale of business and trade with the Huns.
What is she planning?
Is it possible that we can still cooperate with the Xiongnu to cause trouble?
"Isn't Ai Jia's statement clear enough?
They just want to make money through business, and then use the money earned to conduct research, improve the level of craftsmen, develop new technologies, and even turn waste into treasure. This is what the Ai family has been saying recently, and this is what they have always done.
Why don’t you all believe it?
I don’t think the Ai family has any other ideas. "
Bai Sheng just waved his sleeves and brushed the table, saying in a very irritable and dissatisfied mood, she had offended someone, what if she wanted to do something that would benefit the country and the people, and make some money by the way?
There are conspiracy theories one after another, and I suspect that she is going to cause trouble!
If she really wants to cause trouble, she doesn't need to go to such trouble. In terms of today's medical level, she has many ways to secretly kill Emperor Jianyuan. Once Emperor Jianyuan dies, he still doesn't have a son, and she doesn't have to listen to who the next emperor will be.
"But...but why?"
It is said that summer insects cannot be compared with ice. At this time, Emperor Jianyuan could not understand what Bai Sheng was doing.
There is no lack of money or power, but he is still busy hanging out with the craftsmen every day, and even manages lowly businesses himself. Isn't this just a mental illness?
Can't you just stay content and take care of yourself?
And Bai Sheng was really speechless. He was silent for a long time before saying: "Just think of Ai family for the sake of reputation, that's all.
The Ai family did this to leave their name in history..."
“What the Ai family did, such as utilizing wool to make woolen clothes or sweaters, making iron pots, inventing stir-fries, improving porcelain, and refining essential oil hydrosols, is it possible that these things will go down in history?
A single contribution may not be enough, but do more!
Among the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, apart from governing the country, their greatest contribution was not only various inventions and creations that benefited the people.
If there are some technological innovations or the utilization of waste can benefit the people, the Ai family will naturally be praised by all people, and their name will remain in history and even shine in the annals of history.
So, are you satisfied with this reason? "
Although Bai Sheng did not explain, or gave a few perfunctory sentences, Emperor Jianyuan could not press him, but Bai Sheng really did not want to be constantly suspected, and suspected that she had a conspiracy to cause big things, and she did not want to have long-term internal discord or tit-for-tat, so She thought for a while and gave a reply that Emperor Jianyuan should be able to accept.
After all, if she said she was not interested in fame or profit, but only served the people, Emperor Jianyuan would not believe her.
It's better to just say that you are doing it for fame.
"Royal Grandma, I don't question your intention, I just ask curiously, and these inventions and creations of yours are indeed great, I don't have any opinion at all.
Just send someone to talk about the peace talks later.
Your caravan can also go with the imperial court!
I will tell the ministers now. "
It was impossible for Emperor Jianyuan not to hear the dissatisfaction in Bai Sheng's words, so he hurriedly appeased him, expressed his position quickly, and then excused himself to leave on the pretext of something else.
For him, although the Empress Dowager did not become a haze, the Queen Mother's swift abolition of the Jianyuan New Deal still left some shadows in his heart. Therefore, when Bai Sheng was dissatisfied or angry, He will habitually feel guilty and afraid.
In the past few months, he had placed many of his cronies in the court, and he only dared to question them before.
Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t even dare to ask questions.
After Emperor Jianyuan left, Bai Sheng thought that the matter had been settled, and their future relationship, or her grandson, would not be so wary of her.
He won't even think about it and suspect that she has a conspiracy.
But, people's prejudices are like a big mountain.
Not that easy to move.
After returning home, Emperor Jianyuan thought about it and chewed over what his imperial grandmother said many times, and then came to a new conclusion, that is, his imperial grandmother probably neither wanted to depose the emperor nor to be empress Lu. .
Instead, he wanted to go one step further and directly proclaim himself emperor.
Think about it, his imperial grandmother just used the Three Emperors as an example, the Three Ancient Emperors as an example, and she also wanted to invent and create something comparable to them, and then be praised by all people.
Isn't this improper coveting of the throne?
Moreover, there has always been controversy among the Three Ancient Emperors. Some will include Nuwa in the Three Ancient Emperors, while others will not.
At the same time, Nuwa is also a female leader.
The more Emperor Jianyuan thought about it, the more he felt that there was something in Bai Sheng's words.
The ambition is already revealed in the words!
