In Mrs. Korea's impression, the Lord of Jinxiang County has always had a cold temperament. It would not be wrong to call her an iceberg beauty. She has a good sense of etiquette and propriety in speech.

It's just that the Lord of Jinxiang County is a bit indifferent to people he doesn't know very well, beyond basic courtesy.

Unexpectedly, she smiled at Li Qinzai again and again today. The Korean lady's eyes suddenly glowed with gossip, and her charming eyes kept turning around the two of them.

Something is wrong with these two people!

The Korean lady winked a few times, then suddenly smiled and said: "You guys..."

Before he finished speaking, the Lord of Jinxiang County hurriedly said: "We are casual acquaintances. County Uncle Li and I have only met a few times. His wife has been a close friend of mine for many years, nothing more."

Mrs. Korea looked at Li Qinzai and said, "Really?"

Li Qinzai laughed dryly. Although he didn't know what kind of "casual acquaintance" she meant, he could see that the Lord of Jinxiang County was eager to clear up the relationship.

"That's right, I have never had any contact with the county master, but I fell in love with her father at first sight. We became so close that we almost became brothers with different surnames."

The Lord of Jinxiang County was angry again, staring at him hatefully with his beautiful almond eyes.

Mrs. Korea sneered and said: "You are full of nonsense. I will never believe you again. Of all the men I have known in my life, you are the most glib and dare to take advantage of the county master in front of him."

Seeing Jin Xiang gnashing his teeth in anger, Li Qinzai didn't dare to be mean-mouthed anymore, otherwise he might not be able to catch the woman if she really went crazy.

The dancers entered the hall and danced their sleeves gracefully, like butterflies fluttering among the flowers.

It has been two years since Li Qinzai came to the Tang Dynasty. He has seen many dance troupes at the banquets of powerful people, but the dance performance at the Korean lady's house is different.

I don’t know if these dancers were personally trained by the Korean lady. The dance they performed was full of coquettishness from the inside out. Every movement seemed to be aimed at arousing the original desires of the guests. The look in their eyes while dancing made people feel soft in their hands and feet. , dry mouth and tongue.

After admiring it for a while, Li Qinzai didn't dare to look at the dancer anymore. At this moment, all his energy was used to suppress Xiao Lizi who was about to move.

Mrs. Han and Jin Xiang were both women, so naturally they were not interested in the seductive dancing of the dancers. They both glanced at Li Qinzai intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Qinzai's uncomfortable reaction caught Jin Xiang's eyes, and he couldn't help but snorted secretly, curled his lips and spat in a low voice: "Humph, you dog man!"

The Korean lady stared at him openly, smiling as if she had no idea what she was thinking.

After a long time, Jinxiang suddenly clapped his hands and ordered the dancers to retreat.

The Korean lady seemed to see something and smiled: "Sister, what's wrong? Why did you stop suddenly?"

Jin Xiang said calmly: "It's not a good dance."

Mrs. Korea blinked: "Then, let them change the dance."

Jin Xiang still said calmly: "It's very noisy, so why not drink quietly?"

Li Qinzai looked at the two girls and was a little curious about their relationship.

The father of the Lord of Jinxiang County was the licking dog of the Korean lady. After licking her for so long, the Korean lady still showed no pretense, obviously she didn't like him.

But Mrs. Korea and Jin Xiang seem to have a good relationship. They were her guests when they were in Bingzhou, and now they are together in Chang'an. The two of them are probably best friends. Considering the age gap between the two, they should be considered best friends for many years.

A coquettish woman and a woman as indifferent as an iceberg, how did they become best friends? Could it be that the way the two get along is that the Korean lady dances "Come on, be happy", while Jin Xiang just looks on with cold eyes?

I can’t imagine the picture, and I get goosebumps just thinking about it.

"The wine has been drunk. Madam, let's get down to business. I'm rushing out of the city." Li Qinzai said after finishing a glass of wine.

The Korean lady smiled and said: "He is a young boy after all, and his patience is too short. Whatever, I will just say it."

Mrs. Korea's expression changed as she spoke, and she suddenly became serious, saying: "Everyone in the world knows that Uncle Li is extremely talented, and that he can make a weapon of great use to the country by just handling it. However, few people in the world know that Uncle Li made it." These things are also of great benefit to merchants."

"Li County Bo Mo is weird. I have inquired before. The gunpowder and divine arm bow you made are all state weapons. Naturally, I don't dare to covet them. However, there is also a method of turning water into ice for the beauty cream. I admire you very much..."

Li Qinzai narrowed his eyes. It turned out that the Korean lady was thinking about her things.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I've already partnered with others for the two things you mentioned. Both the Xue family and the Xu family are involved. It's really not appropriate to add others to the deal, as it will offend others."

The Korean lady smiled sweetly and said: "Okay, I don't want to use facial cream or ice cubes, but...I heard that you have created another thing called 'cement', and the court has been in trouble these days because of it. There has been such a fuss, this cement probably hasn’t found a partner yet, right?”

Li Qinzai burst out laughing: "Madam, you must have too much appetite. Cement is a national commodity. After it was first made, I presented the secret recipe to Your Majesty. From now on, whether it is kilns or road construction, it will all be under the control of local governments. , I will no longer interfere, let alone sell the cement for money."

Mrs. Korea's expression did not change and she said: "If the things used by the country cannot be calculated in terms of money, it will definitely be a national disaster."

Li Qinzai was startled, and then looked thoughtful.

From a business perspective that will last for thousands of years, Mrs. Korea’s words are correct.

Even the most important gunpowder, three-eyed gun and other items, from design to production, from labor to cost, actually have a price, and there must be a price. It is impossible to attribute all costs to the country just by saying "national use" Zero, this will cause the entire business system to collapse.

Therefore, even if it is national-level fighter planes, weapons, battleships, etc. in later generations, the units that manufacture them are in the name of the company group and when they are provided to the army, the army still has to pay for them.

This is not as simple as left hand switching to right hand, but maintaining the continuous development of a commodity, allowing design, development, raw materials, manufacturing, sales, etc. to form a virtuous cycle, so that weapons have an economic basis for continuous upgrading. .

In the current Tang Dynasty, the business model is actually still very primitive. With the emperor's order, all kinds of raw materials and labor will be continuously concentrated in the firearms supervision department. Under the constraints of the feudal system, whatever the emperor needs, the whole country will be devoted to it. , price and cost, no one will mention it at all.

If the imperial court does not give money, then the labor costs, raw material collection, manufacturing costs, etc. can only be deducted from local taxes. The government taxes have already been arranged, so there is a large amount of unplanned expenses. Where taxes are needed, they must be reduced.

It may not matter once or twice, but levying these raw materials year after year will inevitably lead to the collapse of the entire system over time.

If the things used by the country cannot be calculated in terms of money, it will be a disaster for the country.

This sentence is very classic and very correct. Li Qinzai really can't believe that it was said by a Korean lady.

"I didn't expect Madam to be so knowledgeable, and I admire her greatly." Li Qinzai said sincerely.

Mrs. Korea covered her mouth and smiled: "Mo Ran admires you. These words are not what I said."

"Who said that?"

"Of course it's my biological sister who is not inferior to men."
