Chapter 575 Let’s Talk About Marriage Again
Chi Yan stayed in prison like this. Sometimes when no one was talking to him, he would talk to himself. The jailer kept staring at him, thinking that he was a little hysterical.
The days passed one by one, and when Chi Yan heard the news about salt, he learned that Daxia also had it because the method of making salt had spread to Yue State.
The people all knew that Daxia had a great demand for this kind of salt, and they all joined in.
Even if some women were unable to work, they would buy the thick salt blocks and make them at home.
Every household does this, and they are not afraid of being reported.
The profit from salt production is really too high.
Although no one knew why Daxia knew this method, it still bought salt from Yue State, and the people of Yue State were very happy.
Chi Yan in prison felt something was not right.
Luo Tingshan is not a fool. The person in power now is his son, so it is impossible for him to always be the scapegoat. They must have a conspiracy.
It's a pity that he is in such a desperate situation now and can't do anything.
The capital of Yue State.
"That's great! We earned a full hundred coins today."
"Hush! Keep your voices down! I heard those officials are trying to buy back all the salt. We're just barely making some money. It's really despicable!"
"Fortunately, I have a lot of supplies stored at home, so I can at least hold out for a month or so."
It is now May and the weather in Yue State has already become warm.
Because of the high profits from salt, many people joined in and even neglected the food in the fields.
Fortunately, the local officials noticed something and ordered everyone to hand over the grain.
As a last resort, the people sent some women and children to work in the fields, and they focused all their energy on making money.
After all, you can earn a month's salary by working hard for a few days.
Naturally there is no shortage of food.
In early May, there was a drizzle, and although the harvest was timely, some fields still suffered considerable losses.
Although it was a pity, everyone didn't feel so bad when they thought about the money in their hands.
The grain tax was not enough, so I just bought the grain and paid it.
As a result, three months passed and the salt business became more and more prosperous.
Like a spark, the entire Yue State joined in, and even the king issued a special order for all the people to produce salt.
Some of the fields that were originally cultivated gradually became barren due to lack of care.
At this time, only half a year had passed since Chi Yan was captured.
A lot of things have happened in Daxia in the past few months.
First of all, Luo Tingshan and Zhu Mingqing were both canonized as the emperor and empress dowager, Luo Fu also got a princess, and as for Luo Feng and Luo Xiao, they were both canonized as princes.
Secondly, almost all those who were secretly causing trouble were dealt with.
Finally, it’s Luo Huai’s marriage.
All officials submitted memorials, stating the importance of offspring and requesting the establishment of a queen.
Luo Huai was very impatient, but the harem did need someone to take care of it, but his mother definitely didn't know how to manage these things.
He was in a dilemma.
At this time, Old Master Wang brought his family to Beijing again to visit Old Prince Luo, hoping that he would consider his granddaughter carefully.
Coincidentally, many people suddenly set their sights on Prince Luo.
Because they found that compared with other people in the Luo family, this person was at least more concerned about the new emperor's marriage, unlike the Empress Dowager, whose shadow could sometimes not even be found.
Before anyone knew it, Old Prince Luo, who should have been enjoying his retirement, had become a matchmaker.
He was indeed extremely anxious about Luo Huai's marriage, and faced with all the dazzling candidates, he was really having a headache.
The mother of a country is of great importance.
That day, he had just entered the palace and was about to discuss marriage with his grandson when he saw his son and daughter-in-law walking out.
"Meet father!"
The two of them saluted respectfully, but Prince Luo did not look at them well.
They were having so much fun that they even forgot their responsibilities as parents.
In response to this, Zhu Mingqing looked at Luo Tingshan, who also had a headache.
He is really not good at arranging his children's marriages.
It would be better to attack the State of Yue.
Looking at the couple who couldn't say a word after being hit by a stick, Old Prince Luo felt tired.
"Think about it carefully and come up with a plan. Otherwise, if Huai'er really doesn't want to get married, I wonder if you will be anxious."
Now the Luo family has only one granddaughter, Luo Feng, and she has taken her daughter-in-law's surname.
Not good, very bad!
Zhu Mingqing and the other man came to the palace this time to say goodbye to Luo Huai and prepare to go out for a walk.
The matter between Fen Tao and Dou Duoduo had been approved by the sect not long ago, and a ceremony was also held in the capital.
If her son has a favorite candidate, she will naturally take care of it, but if not, she can't force someone to drink water.
Thinking carefully about the methods that older men and women had used to find marriage in his previous life, Zhu Mingqing's eyes lit up, and he immediately told Luo Tingshan about his idea of holding a blind date party.
Participants must be unmarried men and women, and there are certain entry requirements.
Good health and good conduct are the basic conditions.
On this basis, if a woman has a skill, whether it is reading, calligraphy, or needlework, she is even more welcome.
However, there are naturally many women in the capital who meet the requirements to attend the blind date banquet hosted by the Empress Dowager.
The requirements for men who are responsible for these women are even stricter: no concubines, no marriage, no children, and both civil and military talents...
There were thirty men and thirty women, and the task was directly handed over to Fen Tao.
As soon as the news spread, some people became interested, especially officials with daughters. If they were favored by the Empress Dowager at this banquet, it would be a step to success.
Luo Tingshan strongly supported this. If there was a suitable candidate, he would also like to choose Xiao'er as well.
"You don't know?" Zhu Mingqing was surprised.
"Know what?" Luo Tingshan asked in confusion.
Zhu Mingqing coughed twice and said, "Well, it seems those two kids are still hiding it."
At the same time, he asked in his heart where the little world spirits Luo Xiao and Qiao Tianqing were now.
Huaxiang Tower in the capital.
In the backyard, Luo Xiao was discussing the newly brewed Hundred Gold Wine with Qiao Tianqing.
Baijin Liquor is brewed by distillation according to Zhu Mingqing's method. Its purity is naturally self-evident and its aroma is even more intense.
Even though Qiao Tianqing is a girl, her alcohol tolerance is no less than Luo Xiao's.
"how?"
Qiao Tianqing couldn't wait to take a sip, and his eyes lit up after drinking it.
Just as she was about to pour another glass, Luo Xiao stopped her.
"You can't drink anymore. This wine is easy to get drunk. If Uncle Qiao finds out that I took you drinking, he will definitely not forgive me."
Qiao Tianqing let out a disappointed "ah", then put down the wine glass, carefully savored the taste of the wine flowing in his mouth, and raised a thumbs up in praise.
"Worth a hundred gold!"
Luo Xiao was immediately happy.
"I said it's no problem. There are many wealthy families in the capital, and there are also those aristocratic families in the south. Which one of them is not wealthy and prominent..."
Qiao Tianqing was quick-witted and quick-handed. He picked up the wine jug and took a big sip himself, without even letting Luo Xiao stop him.
The alcohol took effect quickly, and Qiao Tianqing's face soon turned red. He smiled and waved his hand: "More!"
"You crazy girl!"
Luo Xiao was very troubled.
Just as he was about to order his servants to come and clean up, he turned around and saw his parents.
Rub your eyes.
Still here!
