Chapter 127 Li Bai's poems suddenly appeared in this world, Gu Lingshuang suspected that there
The palace was not short of money, and the servants could only afford one set of winter clothes.
Wouldn't it be particularly difficult for poor people to endure winter?
What determines the happiness of ordinary people are food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Since she opened the restaurant, she has solved the employment and food problems of many people, but she has not yet solved the clothing problem.
We have to think of a way.
Gu Lingshuang thought briefly, then said to Xia He: "Xia He, go get me some writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone."
Xia He did as she was told without asking any questions.
Soon, everything Gu Lingshuang needed was prepared.
Gu Lingshuang picked up the brush and painted on the rice paper.
Xia He stood beside her without saying a word and watched silently.
She had some trouble understanding what she was drawing, but she didn't bother.
Gu Lingshuang spent half a day and finally finished the drawing.
"Princess, what are you drawing?"
"This is called a kang. As long as you put firewood in it and make a fire, the kang will be warm. Moreover, the kang does not dissipate heat easily. As long as you make a fire at night, you will be warm all night long when you sleep on it."
Xia He was excited.
Is there such a good thing?
You know, winter is the most difficult time for ordinary people.
Ordinary people cannot afford coal, and many people will freeze to death in the winter.
If what the princess said was true, then the kang would be a great blessing for the common people.
She looked at Gu Lingshuang with eyes full of admiration. The princess was becoming more and more powerful.
"I will spread the news about the kang right away."
"and many more."
Gu Lingshuang interrupted her and said, "Having a kang alone is not enough. People can't stay on it all day long. Having a kang solves the problem of staying warm at night, but people still need to move around during the day, so the problem of clothing must also be solved."
"How can we solve this problem? Ordinary people are poor, and many families have several people sharing one winter coat."
This is not a difficult problem for Gu Lingshuang.
"It's not just cotton that can keep you warm. Clothes made of duck down and goose down are warmer than cotton. If duck down and goose down are not enough, use chicken down."
Xia He's eyes widened. It was the first time she heard of using poultry's appearance to keep warm.
"Princess, is this really okay?"
Gu Lingshuang nodded: "This is called a down jacket, it keeps you warmer than a cotton coat."
Xia He was very happy.
"Then I will spread the news right away."
Gu Lingshuang shook her head: "No need. If profiteers get wind of this news, they will buy up chickens, ducks and geese in large quantities. Then the price of down jackets will inevitably increase. Ordinary people won't be able to afford them and will still go hungry and cold."
"What should I do?"
"Instead of letting unscrupulous merchants buy them out, we can buy them out. We can make chickens, ducks and geese into fast food, and make their down into down jackets, which we can sell to ordinary people at low prices."
Xia He was almost crying.
The princess is not only smart, but also serves the country and the people. She is like a living Bodhisattva.
Xia He clenched her fists and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I will definitely do a good job on this matter. I will strive to ensure that everyone in my Great Xia Kingdom can wear new cotton-padded clothes before winter comes."
Xia He could already imagine how happy the people would be wearing warm down jackets and sleeping on a hot kang at night.
She left to do it.
Gu Lingshuang continued to study the poison.
She had been researching the antidote for the poison for several months, but still hadn't figured it out completely.
Even she didn't expect the poison to be so overbearing.
During this period, the man in the black dragon mask had not come to see her, and it seemed that he was not poisoned.
The days passed insipidly like this.
Xia He was very efficient. Half a month later, every citizen in Shengjing had a down jacket.
Every household has a kang.
The image of Gu Lingshuang in the minds of ordinary people is exactly the same as that of a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering.
This evening.
Gu Lingshuang finished washing up and went to bed early.
She was just about to go to bed when someone knocked on the door.
Ok?
She was stunned. Who could it be at this late hour?
"Who?"
"I."
Gu Lingshuang recognized that the voice was Xiao Ziming's.
Why did he come here suddenly?
The two hadn't seen each other for almost a month.
Gu Lingshuang's life was so comfortable during this period that she subconsciously forgot that she had a husband.
She got out of bed and opened the door.
Xiao Ziming was sitting outside the door in a wheelchair.
"My Lord, it's so late and you're still awake?"
"Well, I want to sleep with the princess tonight."
Gu Lingshuang: “???”
You don't have to be so direct when you speak. I feel embarrassed.
She hesitated for a moment, but still let Xiao Ziming in.
Xiao Ziming noticed her embarrassment and lowered his eyes to hide the smile in his eyes.
What he said just now was actually just to tease her. He came here to discuss something with Gu Lingshuang.
The two of them entered the dormitory together.
They hadn't slept in the same bed for more than a month, and Gu Lingshuang felt quite uncomfortable when they suddenly slept together today.
"Well...it's getting late, your Highness should go to bed."
Xiao Ziming said nothing and lay down on the bed.
After Gu Lingshuang turned off the lights, she lay down beside him.
There was a distance of almost one person between the two of them. They were obviously husband and wife, and they had obviously slept in the same bed, but at this moment they seemed like strangers.
Gu Lingshuang slept silently, but Xiao Ziming's voice came to her ears.
"The envoys from the northern and southern borders have arrived today."
"......" So fast? This was something Gu Lingshuang had not expected.
"The prince has met the envoy?"
"I haven't seen him yet. The envoys are all in the post house. They will enter the palace to see the emperor after they have rested for three days."
Gu Lingshuang understood that Xiao Ziming came to her suddenly just to discuss the matter of the envoy with her.
She asked, "Is the prince worried about something?"
"I just heard that the envoy from Southern Xinjiang who came to Daxia this time is a strange man."
"What's the strange method?"
"It is said that this person is proficient in poetry and songs, has novel ideas, and is a well-known talented woman in southern Xinjiang."
Hmm? A woman as an envoy?
This is the first time I have heard of this in ancient times. It seems that this woman must be quite capable.
Gu Lingshuang became somewhat interested in this woman.
"If she was just a talented girl, His Majesty wouldn't be so concerned about her, right?"
Xiao Ziming smiled and said, indeed.
There are so many talented women, how could he possibly take it to heart?
But if this talented woman could come up with famous quotes and had many wonderful ideas, and even her ideas had a lot in common with his princess, he would have to pay attention to her.
His Qingyun Pavilion was able to collect a lot of intelligence, which was the main reason why he knew more information than others.
"That woman wrote a poem that is very famous in southern Xinjiang."
"What poem?" Gu Lingshuang also became curious.
Xiao Ziming has always been cold towards women. The woman who can make him care so much must be a talented woman.
She wanted to hear what kind of poem it was that could make the other person famous in southern Xinjiang.
Xiao Ziming said: "The moonlight shines brightly in front of my bed, I wonder if it is frost on the ground. I look up at the moon and think of my hometown."
Gu Lingshuang suddenly opened her closed eyes and turned to look at Xiao Ziming.
