Chapter 174 Tibetan Mission
A north wind came, and the weather had turned cooler. The leaves turned yellow, reluctantly leaving the branches, fluttering in the wind.
Ruhua put a big red cape on the young lady and fastened the collar.
She advised her distressedly: "Young lady, you should take a carriage. It's more comfortable and you won't get cold."
"It's only mid-September, how can you get cold? You worry more than my mother, be careful not to get old quickly." Luo Li, who was cared for by Ruhua in every possible way, felt comfortable in her heart, but teased Ruhua.
Ruhua gave the young lady an angry look: "Madam has asked me to take care of you as a little baby, young lady, of course I have to worry about your well-being."
"Let's go! Riding a horse is much faster. If I don't exercise, my body will become useless. I have to get rid of the lazy bugs on my body." Luo Li insisted on riding out.
Ever since she guessed in Jiangnan that the King of Qin had the intention of rebellion, Luo Li's sense of crisis has become more and more serious.
The entanglement with the Qin Palace has become more and more, and the relationship with the King of Qin Zhao Defang has become deeper and deeper. It is not easy to give up. So let's prepare for a rainy day and make more preparations!
Money and force are always the most reliable partners. Make more money, cultivate more force, accumulate more strength, and have enough self-protection power at any time.
Yang Yanqi and Gao Ruoying were waiting outside the Qin Palace on horseback. When they saw Luo Li coming out of the door, they were surprised!
"Luo Li! You are so heroic and handsome in this riding outfit with a bright red cloak and a white horse!"
Luo Li was helped to sit on the horse by Hong Gu, and then she raised her eyebrows proudly!
"What I want is a white horse and red clothes, the kind of dazzling and cool effect of galloping on a horse!"
"Cool? I think it should be showing off?" Yang Yanqi teased with a wicked smile.
Gao Ruoying smiled and gently hit Yang Yanqi with a whip: "How about we change the brain-dead trio to the flirtatious trio?"
Yang Yanqi loosened the reins and walked forward, smiling coquettishly: "We can't lose the title of brain-dead treasures. It's also good to call ourselves the brain-dead flirtatious trio." ...
They left the city gate while talking and laughing, and the horses sped up, and the group rushed to the west of the city. ...
Wu Neng looked at the waste paper in a warehouse, anxiously waiting for the boss to come and inspect the goods.
This batch of paper was made according to the instructions of Mr. Luo. Not a bit of stone powder was added, and it was softer and more wrinkled than the paper he made before, and it had stronger water absorption.
This kind of paper can't be written on at all. If it can't be sold, the boss's capital of 20,000 taels of silver will be wasted.
"Shopkeeper Wu, a group of nobles on horseback are outside the door, please go and take a look!" Wu Sheng, a young apprentice in the workshop, shouted in the yard.
It might be the boss who has arrived.
Wu Neng hurried out of the warehouse and ran to the main door
of the workshop. When he ran to the main door, Wu Neng was stunned!
Why are all the nobles here women? Two of the men are followers dressed as guards.
Luo Li turned over and got off the horse, smiling and greeting: "Wu Wuwei, seeing so many beautiful women, your eyes are blinded, right?"
Wu Neng only then recognized that this extremely beautiful woman was actually the boss's son Luo.
He bowed in panic!
"Boss, Wu Neng is blind and rude."
Luo Li smiled proudly: "I can't help it. It's not your fault. If I change into men's clothes, who can tell whether I am a man or a woman?
Let's go! Lead the way."
Wu Neng opened the door of the warehouse. There were piles of paper as high as a hill, neatly stacked, filling the spacious warehouse.
Wu Neng picked up a pile of paper nervously, with a guilty look on his face: "Boss, Wu Neng is useless. The paper made by the new method is much worse than the previous one. It is completely unusable. Your capital of 20,000 taels of silver may... be wasted!"
Luo Li took the pile of raw pulp paper. It felt soft, and the surface of the paper was slightly rough, without the smooth and delicate feeling of writing paper.
: "Amazing! Wu Neng, you are really a talent. You can make paper like this. We are going to make a fortune again!"
Thinking that the boss was speaking in a sarcastic way, Wu Neng panicked and felt even more ashamed.
: "Boss, it's Wu Neng who is useless. For the loss of the 20,000 taels of silver, I... I will compensate you for part of it?"
Seeing that Wu Neng had misunderstood, Luo Li smiled with curved eyebrows, "Wuneng, I am telling the truth. This is the kind of paper I need. Not only do you not have to pay, I will also reward you for your unique talent."
Wu Neng's heart fell to the ground with a "thump"!
: "Really? Boss, how are you going to sell this kind of paper?"
: "Pack these papers into small bundles, and I'll send out a truck first.
In a few days, all the papers in this warehouse will be sold out and exchanged for hard cash."
Wu Neng nodded doubtfully, "Boss, I'll have someone pack these papers immediately."
: "One pound per package, wrap them with good paper on the outside, and fill a truck for me for gifts first. I'll send people to other papermaking workshops to customize some more exquisite wrapping paper to raise the grade of the products to come. These simple toilet papers will be on sale in three days!"
After Luo Li gave the order, she gave a bundle to each of Yang Yanqi and Gao Ruoying.
"Each of you should take a bundle home to try it out, and tell us more about your experience and suggestions."
Yang Yanqi and Gao Ruoying, who already knew what the toilet paper was used for, took it with a smile on their faces.
Wu Neng directed the workers in the workshop to quickly pack a batch of paper with large sheets of ordinary white paper and filled a large cart for the employer.
With a large cart of simple toilet paper, Luo Li and others went to the camp of the Big Foot Women's Corps.
It is said that a soldier should be seen with new eyes after three days of absence. After
more than 20 days of absence, the appearance of this women's corps has changed a lot.
More than 480 female soldiers were lined up in neat rows, and their momentum was as high as a rainbow!
Luo Li happily walked to the front of the team on the parade ground, "Sisters! You have worked hard these days!
Seeing your heroic and vigorous demeanor, this leader is very pleased!
Today I brought you good things to reward your hard training and fearless spirit!
Have you seen these bags of toilet paper?
This is a new product from the papermaking workshop of our regiment commander. The first batch will be given to you for use.
From now on, in addition to shampoo, soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes, this toilet paper will also be a monthly benefit for you. "
The straight-statured female soldiers looked at the pile of paper curiously. They were all wondering in their hearts that there were night classes for reading and writing in the evening. Did the regiment commander want them to practice calligraphy every day?
Luo Li looked at the somewhat ignorant female soldiers and explained with a smile: "These toilet papers are not for you to write with. They are for you to wipe your buttocks after going to the toilet. It is more comfortable and hygienic to use it during menstruation. "
Mo Wen and the twenty male coaches turned their heads away in shame.
Hundreds of female soldiers blushed! They thought that Captain Luo was really a tough man with no taboos. He could say such embarrassing words in front of men. After
training with the female soldiers for most of the day, Luo Li returned to the city with half a car of remaining toilet paper. The
city gate was guarded by teams of imperial guards. People entering and leaving the city were blocked far away. There was a dark crowd and a lot of noise.
"What's going on? Why is the city gate not open to exit?" Luo Li pulled the reins and asked in confusion.
"I'll go and take a look. "Mo Ming immediately jumped off his horse and ran to the front to see what was going on.
After a while, he ran back, "Princess, I heard that the Tibetan delegation is going to enter the city from here.
In half an hour, the city gate will allow ordinary people to enter and exit."
There is no other way, just wait!
Everyone got off their horses, spread a blanket and sat on the ground, drinking tea and eating delicious snacks waiting for the time to be released.
Mo Ming sent back another message, "I heard that this Tibetan delegation is here for marriage. Their eldest prince personally led the team to the capital of the Song Dynasty, hoping to marry a Song princess back."
Luo Li curled the corner of her lips in disdain, "The Song Dynasty does not have a Princess Wencheng, but these Tibetans are dreaming! "
Yang Yanqi counted the unmarried princesses of marriageable age on her fingers.
: "Princess Qinghe is seventeen years old, Princess Jiayu is sixteen years old, and Princess Yongqing is almost sixteen years old..."
Luo Li's heart jumped!
: "Wait! Yanqi, do you think the emperor will set his sights on Princess Yongqing?"
Yang Yanqi was still counting on his fingers without reacting, Gao Ruoying spoke first, "It is really possible. If the emperor can't bear to give up his own daughter, Princess Yongqing is the most suitable one."
Yang Yanqi's eyelids jumped in surprise!
: "What else is possible? How could the emperor be willing to give away his own daughter in such a bad way?
Princess Yongqing is really in big trouble! If I had known earlier, I should have chosen a prince consort to get engaged in advance. "
Luo Li bit her lip, "No! We must think of a way to prevent Yongqing from marrying in that barren and cold land."
Yang Yanqi's pretty face flushed with anxiety, "Yes! Princess Yongqing is such a kind and lovely girl, she must not marry a barbaric foreign prince. Luo Li, you should think of a way to save Princess Yongqing!"
Gao Ruoying suggested, "Luo Li, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin will not agree to his sister marrying in Tubo, you can discuss it with him and think of a good and stable solution." Luo Li
thought in her head and nodded silently!
