After a while, Wang Tang entered the main hall.
Wang Tang saw Lin Feng.
He was a little surprised. Wasn't Lin Feng busy collecting duck feathers and tossing the ducks? You came to the palace early in the morning, could there be something going on?
Wang Tang saluted and said, "Your Majesty."
Ying Jiuxiao said, "Wang Tang, what's the matter with you?"
Wang Tang said seriously: "Your Majesty, I am here to report the year-end accounting. The Ministry of Household Affairs has reformed the algorithm and adopted the numerical accounting taught by Lin Houye, which is much simpler. This year's accounting has been completed. At the same time, preparations for next year's accounting have begun. Please approve the budget, Your Majesty."
He handed over the memorial directly.
This is the daily routine of the household department.
There are always a lot of things in the household department. Especially when it comes to accounting, it is much more convenient now.
This is the reason why everyone in the household department is grateful to Lin Feng.
Ying Jiuxiao took it and took a look at it, and said directly: "It's not much different from previous years, except that the financial situation is better. I hope to make further improvements next year."
Wang Tang said: "Next year there will be a reform of dividing households into acres. Once the tax revenue comes up, it will definitely be much better. Furthermore, the scale of Xifeng Zui is also expanding. Next year's taxation will definitely be greatly improved. Next year's There will be no financial problems. I am sure of this."
"That's good."
Ying Jiuxiao stood up at this time.
He walked down with his hands behind his back and walked slowly to the gate. The door of this hall is open. This location is also far away from the charcoal pot and cannot be heated. Even the cold wind outside is howling. When the door is opened, the cold wind flows directly in.
When the emperor arrived at the entrance of the main hall, Wang Tang could only follow the emperor. The emperor could not stand at the entrance of the main hall. He ran to the side of the charcoal basin and stayed there.
This definitely won't work.
As soon as Wang Tang walked to the door, a cold wind blew, and a burst of cold air made Wang Tang shiver.
He had walked by outside before and was so stunned that he had goosebumps all over his body.
Entering the main hall, it's time to warm up by the fire.
However, the emperor walked to the gate, and Wang Tang's face turned pale.
Lin Feng saw this scene in his eyes, with a strange expression and amusement in his heart. Ying Jiuxiao is old and is completely an old naughty boy. In order to show off his down jacket and to make Wang Tang feel more comfortable, he went to the gate to blow the air. It was really impressive.
Ying Jiuxiao stood at the gate, glanced at Wang Tang, took another step, and stood outside the hall.
Wang Tang's cheek twitched.
What happened to the emperor?
I just came out to blow some air.
Wang Tang's body was trembling a little. He could only stand up with Ying Jiuxiao and also stood outside the hall. The cold wind blew, and he felt even colder. Wang Tang smiled coquettishly and said, "Your Majesty, it's freezing cold and snowing outside, why did you run out? Let's talk about things in the main hall."
"I'm a little hot."
Ying Jiuxiao replied lightly.
Wang Tang's eyes widened, and his slightly old face was full of incredulity, even weird.
A little hot?
Why didn't he feel hot?
On the contrary, he felt uncomfortably cold and his body felt a little stiff.
Ying Jiuxiao glanced at Wang Tang again and continued: "Wang Qing, don't you feel hot? I came out because it was too hot. The cold wind is blowing, it's really comfortable."
Wang Tang felt even weirder.
has a problem.
He has known the emperor for decades, and he has a very clear understanding of the emperor's character. There is definitely something wrong with the emperor's sudden behavior. Otherwise, how could he say this specifically and even come outside the main hall.
Wang Tang's hands were so cold that they were numb, and he said: "Your Majesty, you came here just to blow off the wind, is there anything wrong?"
"What do I have? I'm very good."
Ying Jiuxiao stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Come, shake my hand, you will know."
Wang Tang stretched out his hand and took the emperor's hand. He felt that although the emperor's hand was a little thin, it was extremely warm.
"Hey, your hands are too cold, let's go, let's go back to the main hall to warm up by the fire."
Ying Jiuxiao looked disgusted, turned around and went back to the main hall to sit down.
Wang Tang was even more confused.
what happened?
Wang Tang didn't understand it for a while. He walked to the charcoal basin and lit the fire, and then he felt much better. The whole person's thinking also began to recover. He looked at the emperor and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, what is going on with you?"
He glanced at Lin Feng and saw that Lin Feng had been in the main hall. Suddenly, Wang Tang had an idea.
Could it be Lin Feng?
Most likely.
Ying Jiuxiao said: "Wang Qing, are you curious?"
"Curious, curious!"
Wang Tang nodded hurriedly.
In this icy and snowy environment, he has many things to do and moves around frequently, but he is afraid of the cold as he gets older. Now that I see the emperor's warmth, I feel extremely curious.
It would be nice if he wasn't afraid of the cold either.
Ying Jiuxiao took off his down jacket directly. After all, it was a bit hot. He put on a normal robe and said: "Wang Qing, come and try on this dress. This is a new dress specially made for me by Lin Feng. It's called a down jacket." , extremely warm.”
"Put on these clothes, you won't be afraid of the cold. Put on these clothes, sit in the room, warm yourself by the fire and sweat. Put on these clothes, you can walk in the ice and snow, even if you are facing the wind and snow, you will not feel any cold. Unaffected.”
Wang Tang sounded strange and asked: "Your Majesty, could it be that Lord Lin collected duck feathers to make this? Otherwise, how could it be a down jacket?"
"certainly!"
Ying Jiuxiao looked proud.
Wang Tang took it and put it on. He was already a little cold, and his body felt like it was going to freeze. Just wearing a down jacket and having a fire pot nearby quickly dissipated the coldness in the body. Moreover, the existence of the down jacket did not provide much ventilation, which meant that after wearing it, the cold air would not invade.
In a short time, Wang Tang began to feel warm.
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Wang Tang's eyes shone with joy, and he said: "This down jacket is really excellent. It's just a robe made of duck feathers, but it doesn't smell like duck feathers at all, and it doesn't have the uncomfortable feeling of duck feathers. Why? The same thing?"
Ying Jiuxiao snorted and said in a deep voice: "You ask me, how do I know? This is made by Lin Feng."
Wang Tang said eagerly: "My dear nephew, we have a very good relationship. How can you make such a down jacket without my uncle? What do you think of this kind of robe as a gift to me?"
"no problem."
Lin Feng answered directly and said with a smile: "Next step, the Lin family's down jacket store will also be opened to sell exclusively in the city."
Wang Tang said: "Well, I will definitely support it. Such clothes must be bought and worn, and everyone in the family must also wear them."
Lin Feng said: "Well, thank you uncle."
Wang Tang had a smile on his face.
Now, he is slowly looking forward to it. Alas, it is a pity that this robe on his body has to be returned to the emperor.
Wang Tang reluctantly took off his robe and said, "Your Majesty, I'll give it back to you."
Ying Jiuxiao took it with a smile, feeling very proud.
He has a good grandson-in-law.
Thinking of him.
Ying Jiuxiao, Lin Feng and Wang Tang talked about some reform matters, and Lin Feng left directly. He returned to his house and waited for Bai Yuyao to come back from work at noon. When the two of them had dinner together, Bai Yuyao said: "Husband, regarding the purchase of duck feathers, I have arranged for people to increase the purchase."
"At the same time, a shop specializing in selling down jackets has been selected, located in Xianyang East City. As for the production of down jackets, after discussing with Mr. Mo, I have selected many servants to start. Now everything is ready, all we have to do is wait. Once the down jacket is made, that’s it.”
Lin Feng said: "The calligraphy given by the emperor's grandfather has been taken back. You can use it to make a plaque and hang it above the shop."
Bai Yuyao was surprised and said: "Did the imperial grandfather really give him the word?"
Lin Feng mentioned before that Bai Yuyao still found it a bit difficult. After all, it is not easy for you to do business and ask the emperor to give you a letter.
Unexpectedly, it really happened.
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Well, the emperor's grandfather gave us the words 'No. 1 in the world'. This is a compliment to our Lin family's down jackets."
"Hardworking husband."
Bai Yuyao was even more happy.
With the emperor's inscription, there is no problem in the sales of down jackets.
Lin Feng said: "In the public, you arranged for people to spread some news, just as you originally did to ridicule me, saying that I was not doing my job properly. Make these public opinions bigger. Then, wait for the day we open for business, and then release the world bestowed by His Majesty. The first plaque is to publicize that His Majesty also approves of Lin’s down jackets. In short, it needs to be very popular before and everyone in Xianyang City must know it. Only on the day of opening can it be sold on a large scale.”
"I understand."
Bai Yuyao is a genius in business. She knows everything.
Lin Feng and Bai Yuyao had a conversation, and after lunch, they went to the East Palace together to deliver the down jackets for Ying Yuqian and Wang.
Ying Yuqian and Wang are naturally happy.
And, it’s so warm.
Lin Feng and Bai Yuyao stayed in the East Palace and returned home after having dinner in the evening. In the following time, everything went as usual, but the news of using duck feathers to make clothes gradually spread.
Public opinion continues to rage.
There were countless people discussing it, and countless people criticized Lin Feng for his whimsical idea of using duck feathers to make clothes.
Countless people are questioning it.
Countless people are against it.
December has passed by in a hurry, and after entering January, the weather in January is even colder this year.
The entire Xianyang City is covered in silver. On this day, news suddenly spread in Xianyang City. On January 6th, the Lin family started selling down jackets at the Lin family store in Xianyang East City.
This is the definite time.
This news triggered public opinion in Xianyang.
Countless people discussed it.
Countless people doubt it.
More people wanted to watch the excitement and take this opportunity to see Lin Feng's jokes.
At Princess Ankang's Mansion.
Backyard, inside the mansion.
Prince Consort Lu Yi was reading in his study. During this period, he had been thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors. In fact, Lu Yi also invited his wife, Princess Ankang, to the palace to meet the emperor, hoping to lift Lu Yi's restrictions. The emperor was extremely angry and scolded Lu Yi directly. He also said that if he did not care about Princess Ankang's face, Lu Yi would be executed directly.
Princess Ankang's place was completely lost and she could only let Lu Yi sit in the house and think about his mistakes.
While Lu Yi was reading, there was a knock on the door, and then the door opened with a creak.
The butler entered and bowed.
The housekeeper said respectfully: "Sir, there is a piece of news coming from outside. It's very funny."
Lu Yi asked: "What news?"
The housekeeper said: "Many people outside are spreading rumors that Lin Feng arranged for the Lin family to purchase duck feathers in large quantities in Xianyang City to make clothes. Countless people are talking about it. Many people say that Lin Feng is not doing his job properly and is an insult to elegance."
"However, Lin Feng was not affected at all. Instead, he decided to open a business in the city on January 6th to sell robes made of duck feathers. Countless people were talking about this matter, and countless people further criticized and ridiculed it. "
The housekeeper smiled and said: "Many people think that Lin Feng is crazy about money and came up with such an idea."
"Hahaha……"
Lu Yi couldn't help but laugh.
The laughter was full of disdain.
Lin Feng is really crazy. Making clothes with duck feathers is so whimsical. Do you really think you can make a lot of money?
Is this trying to make money?
impossible.
Lu Yi felt extremely happy, and felt very aggrieved during this period of time. Now, hearing this news, I feel relieved. He rolled his eyes to accompany you, and after thinking about it in his mind, he said: "Go and make arrangements, let our people spread the news, and say that Lin Feng is fanciful, and that what Lin Feng did is just to make money. , describing Lin Feng as a man who is blind to money."
"I want to see how Lin Feng can gain a foothold in the Qin Dynasty after losing all his face. On the day he opened his business, I quietly left the mansion and went to the market to have a look. I want to see him fall with my own eyes. Look at him being criticized by everyone.”
"Here!"
The butler responded and turned to leave.
Lu Yi was sitting alone in the study, and suddenly he couldn't help but laugh again.
interesting!
Now it’s interesting!
Lin Feng, Lin Feng, there are times when you stumble. This time you lose face, let’s see how you gain a foothold in Da Qin.
