Chapter 27: Women

Disguised as Men Yun Yi walked into the study, bowed, and reported to the King of Qin, "Your Majesty, Feng Zi'an has returned from Shanxi."

King of Qin Zhao Defang nodded, "Arrange for him to meet me at Hesheng Tower tomorrow."

Yun Yi took his leave and went to make arrangements.

Sima Qingyun shook the folding fan in his hand, and the corners of his lips curled up, "If you ask me who I love most in the world, it must be our God of Wealth Feng Zi'an!"

The King of Qin glanced at him with disdain, "If you ask Feng Zi'an who he hates most in the world? It must be you, Sima Qingyun!

Mr. Sima looked aggrieved, "Prince, I was given the image of a money-hungry person by Feng Zi'an, but it was all for you! To build and train a strong army, all you need is money!"

"Okay! I'll give you the money."

"Then I'll leave it to Your Highness the Prince of Qin." Sima Qingyun immediately smiled so hard that his eyebrows were not visible, looking like a loser.

………………

Bianliang City was the most economically developed and prosperous place in the Song Dynasty.

The most concentrated commercial areas in the capital are the East Market under the Imperial City, the West Market in the west of the city, and the market near the Daxiangguo Temple.

The East Market is mostly where the houses of the rich and powerful gather, and the goods traded are the distribution center of high-end goods.

Most of the West Market is where ordinary people gather, and most of the goods traded are also ordinary goods.

Near the busiest Daxiangguo Temple, all kinds of people come and go, and the goods traded range from luxury goods to daily necessities. Most of the goods shipped to the capital from all over the country are also sold here in wholesale.

Hesheng Building is located in a relatively secluded place in Daxiangguo Temple. It is a place with a low profile on the outside but a lot of secrets on the inside. Few people know that it is one of the industries of the Qin Wang Mansion.

There are about thirty such industries in the capital, and the Qin Wang’s shadow guards like to call them "safe houses."

Because there is a tunnel in the underground of the courtyard of these buildings, which is interconnected with another one a few hundred steps away. There are two places close to the city wall, and you can even go directly to the outside of the city from the tunnel.

The Qin Wang is currently meeting with a middle-aged man in "Hesheng Building".

The man was wearing a long silk gown, of medium build, and slightly overweight. His face seemed to always have a friendly smile on it, which was especially in line with his status as a wealthy businessman.

After Feng Zian entered the room, he bowed to His Royal Highness the King of Qin and was about to report on the industrial situation in Shanxi.

The King of Qin waved his hand to let him sit down and explain in detail, and picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of fragrant tea.

After Feng Zian thanked him, he sat down openly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Good tea! The tea is clear and green, the tea fragrance is long and the aftertaste is endless. When will the prince change to this way of drinking tea?"

Sima Qingyun smiled and waved his folding fan, "I said it! If the way of drinking tea created by the princess is used to promote and make money, it will definitely make a lot of money!"

Feng Zian bowed respectfully to Sima Qingyun, but the words he said were a little disgusted.

"Mr. Sima is worthy of the title of money-grubber. His business sense is several times better than that of a businessman like me. He can immediately think of copper smell when seeing such an elegant tea art."

Sima Qingyun waved his folding fan nonchalantly, slightly closed his eyes and pinched his fingers. : "Sima calculated with his fingers that Zi'an brought a million taels of silver back to Beijing this time."

Feng Zi'an was immediately frightened!

"Your Majesty, half of the one million taels of silver brought back to Beijing this time must be kept to stockpile raw materials and expand production!"

Qin Wang Zhao Defang watched with relish with a smile on his lips.

These two subordinates, one obsessed with money and the other a miser, always fight with each other with their eyes wide open whenever they meet, and Sima is definitely the winner in the end.

Yun Yi suddenly came in to report, "Your Majesty, the princess disguised herself as a man and took a carriage out of the palace, and it seems that she is heading to the vicinity of Daxiangguo Temple."

The princess left the palace? Disguised as a man?

The King of Qin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who is responsible for tracking and protecting her?"

Yun Yi replied, "Before coming here, I assigned Mo Wen and Mo Yan to be responsible for protecting the princess."

The King of Qin nodded. As long as someone was protecting her, it would be fine.

Feng Zi'an continued, "Your Majesty, although we are the only one dominating the cotton cloth business, there are many people in the capital who are jealous of us.

This cotton cloth is much cheaper than silk, and much more comfortable to wear than cheap linen, and has been generally accepted by the people.

After all, there are only a few people in the world who can afford to wear silk, and there are also a few who can only afford to wear linen. With this affordable, comfortable and good-looking cotton cloth, it will definitely be the product with the greatest sales potential.

The Zhao family, the Lu family, and the Shi family are all gearing up to get a piece of the pie in this cotton cloth business.

At present, we have great advantages in technology and raw materials, but if technological development cannot keep up with the pace, this huge market will definitely be snatched away by others."

Sima Qingyun immediately became anxious!

: "Feng Zi'an! Don't think of deducting my money. Aren't the technical improvements of those Lu Banmen people I found for you enough?"

Feng Zi'an clasped his fists and bowed, "I really have to thank Mr. Sima for this.

The skills of those people you sent are beyond reproach. The improved cotton-picking machines and spinning machines are several times more efficient than the original ones.

If there are more talents in this area, I hope Mr. Sima will give you strong support."

Sima Qingyun waved his folding fan, drank a sip of tea slowly, and nodded reservedly.

: "Okay, okay! The head of Lu Banmen is an old friend of mine, Sima. I will help you get a few more of his disciples when I have the chance. But..."

: "Thank you, Mr. Sima. I'll give you 60% of this batch of silver." Feng Zi'an gave in happily.

Sima Qingyun looked at His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin with a smug look! You didn't need to say anything, Feng Zi'an surrendered after three punches and two kicks from me!

The Prince of Qin smiled and said nothing.

Yun Yi suddenly came in to report, "Your Highness, it seems that the princess is heading for Hesheng Tower."

The Prince of Qin said to shoo him away: "Zi'an, you go out first!" ... ...

After the Prince of Qin left, Luo Li quickly sat down in front of the dressing table, opened the dressing box, and skillfully put on makeup.

Yingchun saw it and wanted to help, but Siyu stopped her, "This kind of makeup can only be done by the lady herself. She is not satisfied with others' makeup."

Yingchun was surprised to see that the princess used an eyebrow pencil to make her eyebrows thicker. With just a few strokes, the corners of her eyes changed shape, and her almond eyes became charming peach blossom eyes.

With the princess's slender hands dancing quickly, her nose became straighter and fuller, and her lips became fuller.

"Change clothes!" Luo Li put down the makeup box in her hand and ordered.

Siyu smiled and put on a moon-white men's brocade robe for the young lady, and also put on a pair of soft boots with an inch higher padding inside. Luo Li sat down again and asked Siyu to help her comb her hair.

She ordered, "Let Honggu and Yuli be quick!"

The princess' hair was combed into a man's bun, and a white jade hairpin was inserted into the bun.

Luo Li stood up with satisfaction, grabbed a fragrant concubine fan and opened it with a "swish" sound, and glanced at the stunned Yingchun with her charming peach blossom eyes.

"What do you think? Can my appearance, which is more talented than Song Yu and more handsome than Pan An, and more romantic and suave, and more handsome than a jade tree in the wind, charm those little beauties on the street?" Yingchun

nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes! Yes! Absolutely!"

Banxia also looked at the elegant young man transformed by the princess with fascination, muttering to herself: "Maybe his talent cannot compare to Song Yu, but he should be more handsome than Pan An. After the princess became a man, this handsomeness is only ours. Family prince can hold on. "

Luo Li's fan knocked on Banxia's head,:" This son is not as good as your family? "

Pinellia explained with his head," The man and the princess of the princess are more beautiful, and the princess has a little more masculine.

Once, a handsome long follow, a handsome little book boy. Book boy , a little girl, Red Aunt served as a driver to rush the carriage
