Chapter 174 Tibetan Mission
A north wind blew, and the weather had turned cooler. The leaves turned yellow, reluctantly left the branches, and fluttered in the wind.
Ruhua put a bright red cloak on the young lady and fastened her collar.
He advised distressedly: "Miss, you should take a carriage. It will be more comfortable and you won't be cold."
"It's only mid-September, how can you be cold? You worry more than my mother, be careful or you'll get old quickly." Luo Li felt comfortable with the meticulous care she received, but she 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. My body will be ruined if I don't exercise. I had to get rid of the lazy bug in my body." Luo Li insisted on riding a horse out.
Ever since she guessed in Jiangnan that the King of Qin had the intention of rebelling, Luo Li's sense of crisis has become more and more serious.
The disputes with the Qin Palace are getting more and more involved, and the feelings with Qin Wang Zhao Defang are getting deeper and deeper. It is not easy to give up. So let's plan ahead and make more preparations!
Money and force are always the most reliable partners. The best way is to make more money, build up more force, accumulate more strength, and have enough power to protect yourself at all times.
Yang Yanqi and Gao Ruoying were waiting outside the Prince Qin's Mansion on horseback. When they saw Luo Li coming out of the door, they were surprised!
"Luo Li! Wearing this riding suit with a bright red cape and riding on a white horse, you look so heroic and handsome!"
Luo Li was helped by Hong Gu to sit firmly on the horse, and then she raised her eyebrows proudly!
"What I want is a white horse, a red dress, and a galloping horse, which is eye-catching and cool!"
"Cool? I think it should mean showing off your charm, right?" Yang Yanqi teased with a wicked smile.
Gao Ruoying smiled and gently hit Yang Yanqi with a horsewhip: "How about we change the brainless trio to the flirtatious trio?"
Yang Yanqi loosened the reins and walked forward, laughing: "We can't lose the precious title of brainless. It would be nice to call it the brainless and flirtatious trio."...
They left the city gate while chatting and laughing, and the horses sped up, heading west of the city. …
Wu Neng looked at the warehouse full of waste paper, anxiously waiting for his boss to come and inspect the goods.
This batch of paper was made according to Mr. Luo's instructions. Not a bit of stone powder was added, and it was softer and more wrinkled than the paper he made before, and had stronger water absorption.
This kind of paper is completely unusable for writing. If it cannot be sold, the boss’s investment of 20,000 taels of silver will be wasted.
"Manager Wu, there are a group of distinguished people on horseback outside the door. You should go and take a look!" Wu Sheng, a young apprentice in the workshop, shouted in the yard.
Maybe the boss has arrived.
Wu Neng hurried out of the warehouse and ran towards the workshop gate.
Wu Neng ran to the gate and was stunned!
Why are all the distinguished guests here women? There are two men who are dressed as guards.
Luo Li got off the horse and greeted with a smile: "I can't do anything. Seeing so many beautiful women, your eyes are blinded, right?"
Only then did Wu Neng recognize that this extremely beautiful woman was actually Young Master Luo from the Dong family.
He bowed in fear!
"Boss, Wu Neng is blind and rude."
Luo Li smiled proudly: "I can't do anything about it. It's not your fault that you are short-sighted. If I were to dress up as a man, who would be able to tell whether I am a man or a woman?
Let’s go! Lead the way.”
Wu Neng opened the warehouse door and saw piles of papers as high as mountains, neatly stacked, filling the spacious warehouse.
Wu Neng nervously picked up a pile of paper, 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 was a little rough. It did not have the smooth and delicate feeling of writing paper.
: "Amazing! I can't do anything. You are really a talent. You can make paper like this. We are going to get rich again!"
Thinking that his boss was speaking in a sarcastic way, Wu Neng became even more panicked and ashamed.
"Boss, Wu Neng is useless. I... I will compensate you for part of the loss of these 20,000 taels of silver, right?"
Seeing that Wu Neng had misunderstood, Luo Li smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes, "Incompetent, 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 this unique talent."
Wu Neng's heart fell to the ground with a plop!
"Really? Boss, how do you sell this kind of paper for?"
: "Pack the papers into small packages and I'll send out a truck first.
In a few days, all the paper in this warehouse will be sold out and exchanged for silver."
Wu Neng nodded doubtfully, "Boss, I'll have someone pack these papers right away."
"One pound per bag, wrapped in good paper. First, fill a truck with gifts for me. I'll send people to other papermaking workshops to order some more exquisite wrapping paper to improve the quality of the products that follow. These simple toilet papers will be on sale in three days!"
After giving the order, Luo Li 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 give us more suggestions."
Yang Yanqi and Gao Ruoying, who already knew what the toilet paper was used for, took it with smiles on their faces.
Wu Neng directed the workers in the workshop and quickly packaged a batch of paper using large sheets of ordinary white paper and filled a large cart for the employer.
Carrying a large cart full of simple toilet paper, Luo Li and others went to the camp of the Big Foot Women's Army.
It is said that one should look at someone with new eyes after three days of absence.
After not seeing them for more than 20 days, this women's army has changed drastically.
More than 480 female soldiers marched in uniform, with great momentum!
Luo Li happily walked to the front of the team in the parade ground, "Sisters! You have worked hard these days!
Seeing your heroic and vigorous spirit, this team leader is very pleased!
Today I brought you something good to reward you for your hard training and fearless spirit!
See this bag of toilet paper?
This is a new product from our group leader’s papermaking workshop. The first batch will be given to you for use first.
From now on, in addition to shampoo, soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes, toilet paper will also be distributed as a monthly benefit."
The straight-looking female soldiers looked at the pile of papers curiously. They were all wondering if the regiment commander wanted them to practice calligraphy every day since there was a night class for reading and writing in the evening.
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 you go 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 embarrassment.
Hundreds of female soldiers blushed with shame! They thought that Captain Luo was really a tough man with no taboos. He could say such embarrassing words in front of a man.
After training with the female soldiers for most of the day, Luo Li returned to the city with the remaining half truck of toilet paper.
The city gates were under martial law by teams of imperial guards. People entering and leaving the city were blocked from a distance. The crowd was black and noisy.
"What's going on? Why can't we leave the city gate?" Luo Li pulled the reins of the horse and asked puzzledly.
"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.
He came back in a moment and said, “Princess, I heard that the Tibetan envoys are going to enter the city from here.
It will take another half an hour before the city gates allow ordinary people to enter and exit."
There’s no way, just wait!
Everyone dismounted, spread a blanket and sat on the ground, drinking tea and eating delicious snacks while waiting for the time to be released.
Mo Ming sent back another message: "I heard that this Tibetan delegation is here to seek marriage. Their eldest prince personally led the team to the capital of the Song Dynasty, hoping to marry a Song princess."
Luo Li curled her lips in disdain, "There is no Princess Wencheng in the Song Dynasty, but this Tibetan is dreaming!"
Yang Yanqi counted on his fingers the number of unmarried princesses of marriageable age in the palace.
"Princess Qinghe is seventeen years old, Princess Jiayu is sixteen years old, and Princess Yongqing is almost sixteen..."
Luo Li's heart skipped a beat!
"Wait! Yanqi, do you think the emperor will set his sights on Princess Yongqing?"
Yang Yanqi was still counting on his fingers, but Gao Ruoying spoke first, "It's really possible. If the emperor can't bear to part with his own daughter, Princess Yongqing is the most suitable one."
Yang Yanqi's eyelids also jumped in shock!
"What else is possible? How could the emperor be willing to send his own daughter away for such a tragic event?
Princess Yongqing is really in big trouble! If she had known earlier, she should have chosen a prince consort and got engaged in advance."
Luo Li bit her lip and said, "No! We have to think of a way to not let Yongqing go to that barren and cold wild place to marry."
Yang Yanqi's pretty face flushed with anxiety, "That's right! Princess Yongqing is such a kind and lovely girl, she must not marry a barbaric foreign prince. Luo Li, you must 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 going to Tubo for marriage. You can discuss it with him and come up with a safe and good solution."
Luo Li thought about it in her mind and nodded silently!
