Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 640: His Royal Highness’s Strategic Preparations

Under Zhao Kang's overwhelming advertising flyers, the popularity of the underwear store began to gradually increase.

Some women have begun to go shopping in underwear stores, unlike the girls from Yihongyuan before.

Nowadays, many women who buy things are local women. Of course, there are also women who are too embarrassed to let their husbands buy things shamelessly.

Store manager Chunni kept Zhao Kang's teachings in mind and talked about the benefits of wearing a bra with every customer who came in.

It is half true and half false that wearing it can promote growth, make you bigger, etc.

For a time, underwear became the most talked-about product in Yuanjiang County, and customers who often went to Yihongyuan for entertainment personally certified it.

Sales of underwear have begun to get back on track, and textile factories have also begun to increase production.

A sunny noon.

The workers were loading the truck. Zhao Kang had just returned from Yuanjiang School. He went to explain some things to Zhang Sheng.

When I came back, I saw that it was finished and Ye Hongxue had packed it up.

After taking care of the underwear, he is now preparing to sell high-strength wine and perfume.

"Master, the carriage is ready, and there are 550 bottles of perfume in total, all packed."

Zhao Kang nodded: "We can stop production next and wait for my news."

Gao Quan nodded, and Zhao Kang looked at Zhang Long: "You can also come with me. Now that your injury is healed, it's time to return to the army."

Zhang Long was delighted when he heard this: "Master, you still understand me. I have almost fallen ill during this period."

Zhao Kang smiled: "His Majesty has given you the rank of General Fenwei of the third rank, and arranged a general residence for you in the imperial capital. You can be regarded as a proud ancestor. Hurry up and drive there."

"okay!"

Zhang Long was asked to drive the perfume carriage, while Zhao Kang helped Ye Hongxue get into another carriage, and the group returned to the imperial capital.

three days later.

Zhao Kang quietly took Ye Hongxue back to the imperial capital and went directly to the Wu Mansion.

Knowing that she was back, Qin Yufeng and Wu Xinyi came to greet her with joy, and then sent someone to deliver the news to the palace.

Her Majesty the Empress, who was attending a court meeting, immediately left the court, changed into casual clothes, and left the palace.

They haven't seen each other for nearly two months, and the three girls' hearts are already filled with longing for them.

Zhao Kang also missed the three girls very much and was not in a hurry to do other things.

I went to the kitchen myself and cooked a table full of dishes.

Looking at the cheerful smile of the woman next to him, he was already satisfied. There was no time that could compare to this moment.

After the meal, taking advantage of the cool autumn breeze, several people came to sit in the courtyard.

He took off his coat and covered Wu Xinyi, holding the woman's soft hands, which could no longer hide the bulging belly, giving her a particularly warm feeling.

Xiao Linglong said softly: "The imperial doctor said that Xinyi will give birth in about four months. Please pay attention to the time, so you won't be around until the baby is born."

Zhao Kang nodded and said: "This is natural. As long as we sell this batch of goods and open up the market, and with the money sent by Qi State, the domestic finance will be enough."

"There will be no need to run around anymore." Qin Yufeng on the side looked at Zhao Kang as if thinking of something: "Speaking of this, many people have noticed that Sister Xinyi is pregnant."

"Although I don't dare to say anything openly, there are a lot of rumors in private."

When Zhao Kang heard this, his expression turned cold. No matter when a woman becomes pregnant before marriage, it is indeed not a glorious thing.

What's more, it's still an era of extremely strict feudal ethics.

Sensing that something was wrong with Zhao Kang's expression, Wu Xinyi smiled and shook her head: "Husband, don't worry, I won't care about those words."

Zhao Kang's expression softened after hearing this, but he still felt a little guilty. He put his arm around the woman's shoulders and said, "I will give you a title as soon as possible."

These words made the four girls' eyes light up, and they all showed looks of great expectation.

In the evening, a visitor came to the door. After Xiao Xuance heard that Zhao Kang had returned, he quickly took care of the affairs in the palace and came with Wu Qingluan.

The little girl saw her two mistresses and went to serve her sister. Originally, Wu Yatou wanted to cut into pieces the person who made her sister pregnant.

But since he learned that it was Zhao Kang who planted the seed, his attitude immediately changed.

This is like a kiss!
She now wishes that her sister would give her a niece or nephew as soon as possible.

Zhao Kang and the other three were sitting on the other side discussing.

Compared to the past, His Royal Highness now looks much more mature. He has some stubble on his chin and has begun to prepare for growing a beard.

"Old Zhao, in the past two months, Qi State has sent a total of 400 million taels of silver in accordance with the previous agreement. After excluding soldiers' pensions and some necessary expenses, there are still 200 million taels left, which have been used for cannon casting."

"I calculated that in three months at most, we will have more than 120 cannons, each with hundreds of rounds in reserve."

Zhao Kang looked at him with interest: "So you are already planning to start preparations for the war?"

Xiao Xuance hummed.

Xiao Linglong said with some relief in her tone: "Xuance went to the army last month to inspect the training of each army, and he just came back not long ago."

Zhao Kang became interested, stared at Xiao Xuance and said, "What are you going to do?"

Xiao Xuance leaned back: "Originally, I didn't gain much in the army, but I went to Brother Diao's army, so I had an idea in my mind. Please help me see if it can work."

"Say it." Zhao Kang became serious.

Xiao Xuance crossed his fingers and spoke out all his thoughts.

"Brother Diao told me that he previously participated in the training of an army called Longwu soldiers in Jingguo. It talked about special operations. I was very interested in the beheading operation."

"In recent days, I have been thinking about whether the guys from Wu Mansion should carry out this beheading operation."

Zhao Kang raised his eyebrows: "Continue."

Xiao Xuance: "I think there is a lot to be done about this matter. After I came back, I went to Beizhen Fusi and learned from Cao Bailu of Fengyun Tower that our Qianguo is the only one in the world. It integrates all the forces in the world for the use of the court. of."

"Feng Yun Tower's spies are now constantly infiltrating Qi and Zhou, and a large amount of information is transmitted back every month. So when the war begins, we can use this information to command the military men of Wu Mansion within Zhou and Qi. Assassinate all those officials who are responsible for munitions dispatch and pre-war command!"

"To completely paralyze the enemy's command system and logistics supply, in order to end the war before it begins, it will be defeated in one blow! I think this may be one of the reasons why you had to work hard to integrate the forces of the rivers and lakes in the first place. One."

Zhao Kang was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and then laughed: "Okay! Who said that the future king of our Qian Kingdom is a fool! This is not much better than that Li Muyi!"
