In the afternoon, Wen Jinhe squinted for a while, then got up and sat on the couch and started copying the structural drawings of the bicycle.
Man Dong came back with Zhao Bi with the title deed of the blacksmith shop and the worker's deed of sale, "Princess, the matter has been settled."
Inside Prince Heng's Mansion.
"Princess, Prince Che's Mansion replied that Princess Che will come to attend the princess's full moon banquet the day after tomorrow."
Li Yuheng's princess was the daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs of the Beidi Kingdom. She was from a well-known family and had a gentle temperament.
"It's just a formality, but she is really coming. The princess who is not favored by the enemy country even feels frustrated when she comes to my Prince Heng's palace." The hand holding the porcelain cup slowly placed on the table, and no longer Picked it up.
The servant who came to report lowered his head in fear and said nothing.
"Why are you so angry?" A male voice came from outside the door from far away.
Princess Heng stood up in a panic and said softly: "Your Majesty."
Li Yuheng looked down at Princess Heng with a cold expression, "Princess Lenggong of Linyue Kingdom married to our Beidi and became the princess of the second brother. Her status is different. I will not be able to attend the full moon banquet the day after tomorrow. Please touch Wen Jinhe's Let’s see if I can use my temper in the future.”
Princess Heng raised her eyes and said cautiously: "Can't Prince Mi'er attend the full moon banquet? Many male guests from the prince's family will also accompany their female relatives to the banquet."
Li Yuheng waved his sleeves and put his hands behind his back, "The king of Japan will have official business to discuss with the Minister of Justice."
Princess Heng nodded slightly and said, "I understand and will properly entertain the guests."
After Li Yuheng left the room, Princess Heng sat on a low stool without saying a word for a while.
She picked up the porcelain cup on the table and threw it to the ground, with a trace of dissatisfaction and anger in her eyes, "Bitch."
In the past few days, the lights in the study room and backyard of Prince Che's residence will not be extinguished until half past midnight.
The two masters went to bed later than the other.
It is enough to say that the prince has a lot of official duties every day, but the princess has not stopped since she entered the palace.
Butler Li didn't care about Wen Jinhe's private property, but looking at the autumn and winter, with Zhao Bi, He Shi and the four of them frequently coming in and out of the house every day, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
The princess's dowry has been sold, so don't let the money go to waste!
For the sake of the palace, Butler Li, who is over fifty years old, is really worried.
In the bright study room, Zhao Bi stood upright in front of Li Junche, "The princess bought a blacksmith shop today. It seems that the number of people under the princess's hands is not enough. I heard from Man Qiu that she will go to Renyazi tomorrow to buy some people."
Li Junche raised his eyes. It made sense to buy shops for business and land for farming.
A useless forest near a river is a waste of money.
Now here comes another blacksmith shop. What are these various things for?
"Tomorrow the king will arrange for a few soldiers who have returned home to mix in. You and Man Qiu should be careful when selecting people."
Zhao Bi cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I understand."
Looking at the well-drawn drawings on the paper, I glanced at the various matters involved in establishing a rubber workshop and the process of making tires.
Wen Jinhe put down the paper and stretched hard, squinting his eyes dimly, "It's finally over."
On the second day, when Man Qiu and Zhao Bi went out, Wen Jinhe called people into the room and told them: "Buy fifty first, half male and half. It would be better if there are literate ones. Let Butler Li clean the spare rooms in the courtyard." Let them live here, and they need to be trained for a while before they can be released."
"Yes." Man Qiu knelt down. After she was assigned to the princess by Butler Li, she did not serve the princess for a few days. Instead, she ran out all day and was much busier than before.
When they came to Ren Yazi's place, Ya Pozi already knew Man Qiu, "Young lady just came here yesterday, why did you come to my door again today?"
It couldn't be that those blacksmith slaves made a mistake yesterday and came to look for trouble today, and even brought a guard with them.
Man Qiu said seriously: "The master arranged to buy some more slaves and called them all out for us to choose from."
When Yabozi heard that she was not looking for trouble, but that she had business, she immediately grinned and said, "Okay, miss, just wait a moment, and I'll call them all out right away."
There were several rows of slaves standing in the yard, about two to three hundred people.
Man Qiu said to Mrs. Ya: "Those who can read stand in the first two rows."
After looking around, Man Qiu and Zhao Bi quickly named the fifty people, handed over the money, took the deed of betrayal, and took them back to the palace.
In the afternoon, Wen Jinhe handed the bicycle blueprints to Zhao Bi, "Give these to the blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop and let them think about it carefully. The above things will be built as soon as possible. Please keep it confidential and not spread it outside."
"Yes." Zhao Bi stared at the strange things on the paper. They looked like carriage wheels, and what else were they.
When they arrived at the courtyard, all fifty people had changed into the clothes of servants of the royal family, and stood in five rows in the courtyard respectfully waiting.
Seeing Wen Jinhe, he quickly knelt down and shouted: "Greetings to the princess."
Man Qiu pointed to the five men standing in the front row, "Princess, these five people are literate."
Wen Jinhe looked at the five people, some with broken arms or short legs, and some with red spots and birthmarks on their faces. Only one of them looked healthy, "They don't look very strong anyway."
Man Qiuwen said: "If they weren't physically disabled, they wouldn't be sold. The one on the far side is actually deaf in his right ear and can only hear in one ear. If the princess feels it is inappropriate, I will go back now."
"No need, it's not hard work. It doesn't matter if you have a physical disability." In ancient times, scholars were rare. If you were literate, you would be robbed even if you were a clerk in a shop. Unfortunately, these people were looked down upon because of their physical disabilities.
The five people standing in the front row and the seven veterans standing in the back row breathed a sigh of relief.
One party is worried that no one will buy them again if they are returned, and the other party is worried that they will not get into the hands of the princess and be blamed by Li Junche.
Retired soldiers are either old or physically disabled and cannot fight anymore.
When people go shopping for people, they generally don’t choose this kind of thing.
It was only because Li Junche had greeted Zhao Bi in advance that he could squeeze people in.
Zhao Bi came to the blacksmith shop with the drawings.
The blacksmith stared at the drawings with a headache. "The things on this drawing are too delicate, and it is a bit laborious to make them exactly the same."
Zhao Bi frowned, "You just say you can't do it or not?"
The blacksmith pondered, "Yes, it just takes some effort."
"You arrange it as soon as possible. Keep the things safe and don't let outsiders see them." The boys in the blacksmith shop all signed death contracts, so we are not worried that they will leak it.
Wen Jinhe came to the warehouse and looked at the items in the betrothal gift boxes. There was nothing suitable for a full-month girl. "Is there anything suitable in the prince's private treasury?"
Man Qiu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for her prince, "The prince's private treasury has always been managed by Butler Li. Basically, everything that can be sold is exchanged for silver, and the rest that cannot be exchanged are all gifts from the emperor. There are no female relatives in the prince's palace, let alone Let alone children’s belongings, the palace will naturally not reward these.”
Wen Jinhe sighed, he shouldn't have had hope in Li Junche, "Take some money and buy a more exquisite longevity lock."
