Chapter 432 - 432 I also learned this from my wife
432 I also learned this from my wife
Xiao Hanzheng felt that Shi Qingluo’s words made sense.
“It’s very possible. Back then, King Jin’s princess consort’s family wasn’t prominent, and it was King Jin who asked the previous emperor for her hand in marriage.
“Moreover, the princess consort’s family was all brought to the northern border by King Jin and entrusted with important tasks.
“Even if she is not her true love, she should have a place in King Jin’s heart.”
Shi Qingluo nodded. “No wonder their daughter would become like this.”
“Luckily our current emperor is not King Jin. Otherwise, the imperial family would have rotted from the beginning. Who knows how much they would do to oppress the commoners.”
Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “That’s right. Maybe the previous emperor knew what he was doing, so he didn’t let his favorite son take the throne.”
After all, the previous emperor had conquered the world himself, and he didn’t want to be defeated by his descendants so quickly.
Shi Qingluo pinched Xiao Hanzheng’s waist again. “What if that woman takes a fancy to you again? ”
If she had taken a fancy to him in his previous life, it meant that her little husband’s looks were more attractive to that woman’s eye.
It was very likely that she would take a fancy to him in this life.
Xiao Hanzheng narrowed his eyes. “If she likes me again, I can only count her as unlucky.”
That woman had always done things without any scruples. He did not want her to lay her hands on his wife.
“I’ll strike first.”
Shi Qingluo’s interest was immediately piqued. “What do you mean by striking first? ”
“What do you think about arranging for Zhuo Zheng to be the hero saving the beauty?” Xiao Hanzheng sneered.
“Zhuo Zheng should know that he is King Jin’s son, but Liang Mingmin would definitely not know that Zhuo Zheng is her half-brother.
“Zhuo Zheng’s looks are also Liang Mingmin’s type. She likes refined and handsome men or the gentle and elegant ones.
“If something happens to her and Zhuo Zheng happens to run into her.”
“No matter what Zhuo Zheng’s intentions are, he would definitely save his sister. After all, King Jin dotes on Liang Mingmin a lot. It’s a good thing to be on his side.
“And Liang Mingmin’s fetish has not been exposed yet, so Zhuo Zheng doesn’t know about it.
“With the hero saving the beauty, Liang Mingmin will definitely be interested in him and ask him to be her gigolo.
“Zhuo Zheng will definitely not agree to it. Liang Mingmin will use both hard and soft tactics.
“If she’s forced into a corner, she might even do something that will hurt Zhuo Zheng or his mother.
“With Zhuo Zheng’s narrow-minded personality, he will definitely hate this half-sister of his. Then, the two of them will fight between themselves like dogs.
“If this is executed well, it can even affect the cooperation between King Jin and the princess of the previous dynasty. There will be a gap between them.”
It just so happened that he didn’t like the pretty boy either.
Not only did he want to steal the formulas, but he also kept trying to seduce his little wife.
He was already an adult, yet he still liked to act obedient and coquettish.
He had enough of it.
Most importantly, he found out that Zhuo Zheng and a prince of the Ge Kingdom were very close in private.
This time, he had come to steal the canned food and soap secret recipe because he wanted to exchange it for benefits and money from that prince.
He could be punished for betraying his own country’s interests to please the enemy country.
In the future, if such a person were to successfully rebel and help the royal family of the previous dynasty, that would be the tragedy of Daliang.
Of course, he had to destroy it.
Shi Qingluo’s eyes brightened and she chuckled, “Brother Zheng, you’re so good to actually come up with such a good idea.”
She loved to watch the dogs biting each other.
In any case, neither of them was a good person. One was a thief who betrayed his country, and the other did not treat others as human beings.
She would take whatever she liked. This was a bad habit.
Xiao Hanzheng chuckled in her ear and said, “I also learned this from my wife.”
In the past, he really couldn’t think of such an idea to kill two birds with one stone and make these people fight each other internally.
However, ever since he saw how his wife dealt with the Xiao and Shi families, he had also learned something.
Shi Qingluo gave him a kiss. “This is called the closer you are to the vermillion, the redder you will be!”
Xiao Hanzheng sneered. “That’s right. The closer you are to the vermilion, the redder you will be.”
The next day, Xiao Hanzheng began to make arrangements.
On the other hand, Shi Qingluo asked Xiao Hanzheng to commandeer a piece of barren land in the suburbs of the county to open a breeding workshop, which specialized in raising quails and pigeons.
Recently, the farming cooperation that the county office had implemented was very popular with the people.
Just as Shi Qingluo had expected, most of the villages had chosen to raise the livestocks collectively within their villages.
Only a small number of villages with many different surnames, and the villagers didn’t have a good relationship with each other, chose to raise them individually.
Not only in the villages, but many people in the county towns had adopted chickens, ducks, and geese to increase their family’s income.
However, no one was interested in raising quails.
In fact, many people didn’t even know what quails were.
Hence, Shi Qingluo thought about it and decided to do it herself.
It was mainly because she liked to eat quail eggs.
Canned quail eggs were delicious, and fried or roasted quails without eggs were especially fragrant.
She also raised the pigeons.
Pigeon meat could nourish qi deficiency, dispel wind, detoxify, and nourish the kidney and qi.
Pigeon eggs are rich in nutrients and are especially nourishing for women.
It was helpful to nourish one’s yin and kidney.
It would also nourish the liver and kidney, the skin, refresh one’s mind, cure sores and toxins, treat impotence, and so on.
When the time came, they could go for high-end sales and target the rich people in Daliang, the Western and Arab regions, and other countries.
She could also train some messenger pigeons to send to the army, which would make it easier for the Daliang Army to communicate more effectively and quickly.
However, although they were in the same breeding workshop, they had to be kept separately and not together.
So this time, Shi Qingluo got Xiao Hanzheng to divide one of his large lands into two cultivation areas.
There was vast land with a sparse population.
Precisely because it was a barren land full of stones that was not suitable to plant crops, and it was also property of the county government, so no one objected to this and everything was settled on the same day.
Shi Qingluo was also busy drawing out the blueprints, asking the craftsmen to build cultivation houses on the barren land that were more suitable for quails and pigeons.
There were no quails and pigeons here, so Xiao Hanzheng sent his people to other places to buy quails and pigeons, as well as some eggs, and then bring them back to slowly raise them.
After a few busy days, Shi Qingluo finally had some free time.
Zhuo Zheng once again asked the manager to pass on a message that he wanted to see Shi Qingluo.
This was the third time that Zhuo Zheng wanted to see her after he went to the soap workshop.
Shi Qingluo naturally knew what Zhuo Zheng was going through.
This time, the dormitory was indeed not smelly, but there was one who would talk in his sleep, and one who would even sleepwalk.
The four burly men who lived there were the kind that could fall asleep easily, so it didn’t affect them much.
The sleepwalking one would not do anything extreme. At most, he would get up in the middle of the night and walk around in the yard.
After Zhuo Zheng and the other three went in, they thought that they would finally be comfortable.
Who knew that that night, he would be tormented by the person who talked in his sleep until he couldn’t sleep.
The next day, he was scared half to death by the sleepwalking man who got up in the middle of the night.
If he didn’t sleep well at night, he would naturally be listless during the day.
Then, the four of them were sent to stand guard and stir the soap liquid.
Their hands had to move non-stop, and they had to repeat the same action over and over again, which was even more boring.
One of them even fell asleep after two days of stirring, and was then fired by the workshop’s supervisor.
The other two immediately perked up and didn’t dare to doze off or slack off.
If they couldn’t even steal the soap recipe, how were they going to explain it to their masters?
