"Sister-in-law can try it." The Crown Princess was also amused.
"Hahaha, fine then. Starting tomorrow, I'll send invitations to the Empress's wife every day." Ye Han led everyone to the sofa and sat down. He passed the snacks and fruits on the coffee table to the Crown Princess and the Queen.
As for the Emperor and the Crown Prince, they were taken to the study by Yue Chengyu as soon as they entered the room. Both of them were very busy and had no extra time to waste elsewhere. So they went straight to the study as soon as they entered the room and did not stop in the living room at all.
Ye Han had no choice but to have someone send in some of the prepared things.
Ye Han was chatting with the Empress and the Crown Princess while they researched what to buy. Ye Han projected the webpage on his phone onto the TV. The Empress and the Crown Princess were both browsing Taobao for the first time, and they were both very curious about the products.
"How come this dress is so... so fabric-efficient?" The Queen was shocked when she saw the hot girls' outfits on the recommendation page. This was the first time in her life that she had seen something so... so... The Queen couldn't find any adjectives to describe it.
"But it still looks good." The Crown Princess continued. Although it looked strange, it was indeed beautiful and gave a different feeling.
"There's more freedom in how you dress over there. You can wear whatever you want."
"It's a pity that such beautiful clothes can't be worn in Dayue." The queen sighed.
"Our Dayue clothes are also very beautiful, and similar clothes are called Hanfu over there, which is also very popular. More and more people like Hanfu and promote Hanfu."
"That's great, a hundred flowers blooming." The Queen also felt a sense of envy when she heard this. She knew that behind all these dressing styles was openness, tolerance, and freedom, which was precisely what she had never experienced.
"Although we can't wear some clothes, there are some suitable for children. Do you want to buy a couple for Yanyu?"
"Oh? Let's see?" The queen became interested when she heard it.
"Let's see what it looks like?" The Crown Princess was also very curious.
Ye Han searched for some children's clothes. As they browsed, they bought several pieces. There were some adorable, furry onesies featuring cute animals. The Queen's eyes lit up when she saw them. "Our Yan Yu will look so adorable in these."
The Crown Princess was also so adorable that she placed an order on the spot without hesitation. Ye Han thought about the 30-degree weather and reminded them, "Mother, Sister-in-law, it's so hot now, you can't wear it."
"It's okay, just buy it first and you can wear it sooner or later." The Crown Princess waved her hand, as if to say that no matter what the reason, she wanted the clothes.
Ye Han silently prayed for little Yanyu, hoping the Empress Dowager wouldn't be so mad as to make him try out the clothes this season. When placing the order, Ye Han even chose a size up. After all, children grow fast, and if she bought the perfect size, she was afraid they wouldn't fit in winter.
Afterwards, Ye Han, the Queen Mother and the Crown Princess started a crazy shopping spree.
Ye Han: "This is a nice, cool outfit."
The Crown Princess: "Buy."
The Queen said, "This is also very nice. My grandson will look good in it."
The Crown Princess: "Buy."
The Crown Princess said, "This one is actually pretty good." The Crown Princess looked at a little girl model who was wearing a sweatshirt, sweatpants and a baseball cap.
Ye Han widened his eyes and reminded, "Sister-in-law, this is women's clothing."
"Actually, if we don't tell him, Yan Yu probably won't be able to tell."
Ye Han looked at the neutral clothes and saw that there was indeed no trace of a little girl. However, this was not important. What was important was, "Sister-in-law, your idea is somewhat dangerous."
"It's a pity that there are still too few children in our lineage. There is only Yan Yu, not enough to dress up."
"Isn't that enough?" Ye Han complained inwardly. However, the Crown Princess's parenting philosophy still shocked her. She'd assumed the 'giving birth to children for fun' mentality was exclusive to modern, post-90s generational parents, but the Crown Princess, even from the ancient world, had revealed this trait.
The Queen also sighed, "Yes, it's a pity that you and Chengyu are planning to have children in two years, otherwise Yanyu will have a companion."
"It's okay to wait for two years. You are young anyway and don't have much pressure." The Crown Princess also agreed.
"That's what the prince and I discussed."
"Just make yourselves aware of the situation. Come, let's continue choosing. This little dress is really pretty and new." The Queen knew why they didn't want to have children right now. If it were someone else, the Queen might not agree. However, Ye Han's importance to Dayue far exceeded that of the children of Prince Rui's Palace. Moreover, the two of them were not very old. So the Queen just let them do as they pleased.
The group spent a while browsing, picking out everything from skincare and makeup to perfume and bags, food, household items, toys, and unique designs... everything from food, clothing, housing, and transportation. They bought whatever they saw. Furthermore, when Ye Han was selecting, he simply eliminated the cheapest items. Everything was in quadruplicate, but the money he spent was still too little for Ye Han at the moment.
A few people were tired from shopping and sat on the sofa to relax. They bought small items, and the real big purchases would have to wait for the three people in the study to come out.
The three emperors who were given high hopes by Ye Han checked the information and combined it with the actual situation of Dai Viet.
Ultimately, the first batch of research focused on agriculture and handicrafts. Of course, the most important thing was books, covering various fields. First, science and engineering, basic math, chemistry, physics, biology, and other popular science books, as well as slightly more basic theories.
Agriculture, medicine, psychology, business, even management and military strategy... The three of them listed everything they thought was useful or even potentially useful. The books alone took up two A4 pages. This was just the first batch; some were clearly beyond Dai Viet's current capabilities and hadn't been included.
In agriculture, there are fewer words listed, but there are quite a few things that need to be purchased.
For example, vegetable seeds, grain seeds, fruit trees, and agricultural tools that can be imitated in Dai Viet.
Just these few lines encompassed almost everything. As for farm tools, it didn't matter if no one had developed them, and it didn't matter if the theory wasn't understood. We could always copy them. We should focus on both copying and theoretical study. Theoretical study was slow to produce results, so we needed to proceed slowly, but what we learned was our own. As for copying, it was quick, making up for the period when theoretical study failed to produce results.
As for handicrafts, there are professional books and machines suitable for Dai Viet.
The emperor was truly envious of the refined steel Ye Han had mentioned. Fortunately, thanks to the Ministry of Industry's efforts, Dai Viet's smelting technology had improved substantially. While it wasn't yet comparable to steel, it was still more than enough to keep pace with the other two countries.
