Chapter 220 Two Vixen's Sour Grapes
Li Jize: “???”
What the hell? What kind of logic is this?
Are you kidding me?
When the rebels don't need you, Li Jize, you are the enemy of the Great Qi. You are the leader of the nobles and the landlords, and we are the enemy! We want to liberate the people under our command.
This is called class antagonism!
Now that we need Li Jize and need to pay from our own pockets, you, Li Jize, are the "Grand Marshal of the Army of the World" of Da Qi, and we are also the people of Da Qi. How can you bear to fleece us?
Do we have to be so double-standard?
Li Jize rolled his eyes. There was nothing to be angry about. What was there to be angry about?
……
Outside the palace...
Zhang Xiaolan was feeling very conflicted. She paced back and forth, feeling extremely anxious.
How's it going? What's going on inside?
How did the conversation between Wang Yuanya and Li Jize go?
If they break up, won’t I die?
As the saying goes, if you have done nothing wrong, you won’t be startled when someone knocks on your door in the middle of the night.
Precisely because Zhang Xiaolan had done something wrong, she was very afraid that if Wang Yuanya failed to reach an agreement, Li Jize might order her to be thrown into a cell and tortured.
on the contrary……
If they can reach an agreement and talk very well, they can become husband and wife again.
Would they take this opportunity to do something "suitable for both the old and the Chinese" inside? Wouldn't she have to stand here all night?
Secondly, if their relationship has really recovered to such a level, the couple will quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed.
Would Wang Yuanya tell her husband about her night visits to the factory and Prince Qin's mansion?
After all, she is just an outsider, right?
This is how anxiety arises. People are always thinking about uncertain factors and always live in fear of the future.
Just when she was daydreaming...
With a creak, the door inside finally opened. Zhang Xiaolan raised her head impatiently and looked in that direction.
She was blinded!
It was impossible to tell what Wang Yuanya's expression was. She looked neither distressed nor happy, and just walked out calmly.
After arriving at Zhang Xiaolan's side, she first swallowed nervously, and then asked cautiously, "Yuan...Yuan Ya, um...um...are you okay?"
Wang Yuanya was stunned for a moment, then seemed to come to her senses. After looking at Zhang Xiaolan, she rolled her eyes and said, "What could be the problem?"
"So we're okay?"
"It's okay! Let's go!"
After saying this, Wang Yuanya turned around and walked straight out the door.
Looking at her leaving figure, Zhang Xiaolan was completely confused and baffled.
what's going on?
Looking at the heavily guarded soldiers around the Prince of Qin's Mansion, she hurried after them. Although she didn't know what had happened, wasn't it the happiest thing in the world to be able to walk out so easily?
After walking out of the gate of the Prince Qin's Mansion, Zhang Xiaolan kept looking back every few steps to make sure no one was following her...
"call!"
She exhaled heavily, and then she shouted, "Yuan Ya! Wait for me! Wait for me!"
Outside the Prince Qin's Mansion, there is a busy street.
At this moment, although it was already late at night, there were still many vendors coming and going on the streets outside, hawking their wares.
This shows what?
It means that people do not pick up lost items on the roads of Qingzhou, and every household does not lock their doors at night.
Of course, this may sound a bit like bragging. Even in Li Jize's time, it would be impossible for the store to remain open and for no one to pick up money dropped on the ground.
It could just be a few cents or a dollar and no one would pick it up.
but……
What does a place with nightlife represent?
Very rich and prosperous!
In the countryside, people go to bed early, and the only form of entertainment is clapping. But it’s different for people in the city! They have a few dollars in their pockets, but it’s not enough. Life is too peaceful, and making money is too easy, so they can’t stay idle!
It is precisely because of the existence of these factors that Qingzhou has become incredibly prosperous, comparable to the "Dadu" of the past.
Wang Yuanya and Zhang Xiaolan were walking on the street. When they saw the situation in front of them, they were stunned.
As a girl, who doesn’t like the hustle and bustle and the night market?
"How disgusting! Why is there such a noisy place? Who does he think he is? The emperor! Doesn't he know that this is an act of usurpation?"
Wang Yuanya took the lead in complaining about Li Jize, expressing her dissatisfaction and indignation, and a "criticism meeting" began.
"Of course not! That damn Li Jize, you haven't seen his palace! It's even more luxurious than the imperial palace!"
Zhang Xiaolan came over and joined in the criticism. "You didn't see that his palace is made entirely of colored glaze!"
Liuli! Ancient glass!
These were still very expensive things in this era. Basically, in the past, silk, tea, and porcelain were sold overland from China and then exchanged for "technological products" from the West.
Colored glaze is not difficult to make, and it is not valuable!
Its cost may be ridiculously low, but the technological content, I know! You don’t know, it is very valuable.
In addition, the glass is transparent and beautiful, and it is shipped from such a far place, so naturally the price is outrageous.
Actually...
The palace is entirely made of Liuli, so there is only one possibility: Li Jize's factory is not only making firearms, but also some industrial products.
For example, the glass now, and the soap they can't see.
"Hmph! People like this are only obsessed with superficial luxury! Even if a country is strong, it will eventually perish if it is warlike! Before the world is settled, they are already greedy for pleasure. How long can Li Jize hold on?"
"Okay! We'll just tolerate him, let him be, let him be, avoid him, endure him, respect him, and ignore him. Just wait a few more years and see what happens to Li Jize."
Well! The two of them sang in unison, finally finishing all their complaints.
But the truth is…
Who are they complaining about?
Is it really dissatisfaction with Li Jize? Is it really anger at Li Jize's extravagance and debauchery?
Once upon a time, there was a fox that came under a grape trellis and saw the grapes on it. It wanted to eat some of them. It tried to jump over them several times, but its short legs couldn't jump enough to reach the grapes.
How to do?
I simply said that the grapes were sour! They were so sour that they would make your teeth break.
I don’t want to eat it!
The two girls are the two vixen under the grape trellis. Because they came from the rule of the rebel army, there was no dazzling light, no bowl of rice, and no fish with chopsticks. After seeing such a prosperous scene here, they could only use this method to prevent the collapse of the faith in their hearts!
