Chapter 222: Human heart is never satisfied, this is called pursuit!
"Yes, this is a backyard in my side hall. In order to avoid causing a sensation, elder sister and brother-in-law will rest in the side hall first. The Princess's Mansion has already made arrangements.
I'll order someone to buy some more items and take your luggage over to pack it up. Don't worry, the people of my Purple Flame Nation are very loyal. You just need to do what they ask and stay here with peace of mind."
"Is this really the Purple Flame Country? Am I dreaming? Doesn't it take a month or two to get there? How come we've arrived in just seven days?"
Zeng Qianer couldn't believe it.
"That's just to confuse others. It only takes a moment to come back or go out."
"Instant! This is too scary. Let me slow down."
"Qian'er, I just told you not to get too excited. Come into the house and sit down and rest."
Zhou Huaizhi was very scared. He immediately picked up Zeng Qianer and walked into the house.
Shangguan Yue was also stunned. How come she looks like a national treasure giant panda after getting pregnant? Bianbian is like this, and now Qian'er is like this too. Will she be like this in the future?
Bah! Why is she thinking about these bullshit! She will not marry, and she will never marry in this life. She is the empress, isn't it beautiful to have a few concubines?
Is it necessary to marry a queen to take care of you? That's crazy!
next day
Zeng Qianer moved into the princess mansion with her luggage. The environment, decoration, furnishings, etc. of the princess mansion met Zeng Qianer's needs very well, even beyond her imagination.
Of course, this combination of ancient and modern decoration, the separate wet and dry showers, and the retro yet modern flush toilets make Zeng Qianer, an ancient person, feel like she has entered a new world. Everything is so novel.
I also enjoy touching and looking around, and the symptoms of morning sickness have also been reduced.
Zhou Huaizhi had been doing business all his life. He was not the kind of person who only focused on reading books of sages and ignored what was happening outside. He was very surprised and delighted by this novel and harmonious decoration.
This is a huge fortune! If this technology is popularized in South Vietnam, a flush toilet alone can make one rich.
Not to mention other lights that light up by pulling a rope, this is simply a paradise on earth. He and Qian'er settled down in Zi Yan Country. With such a good living environment, only a fool would return to South Vietnam.
Moreover, there are annoying people like Cheng Rui and Princess Changping in Nanyue. He doesn't want Qian'er to be unhappy when she goes back. From now on, he, she and their children will live and work here in peace and contentment.
"Brother-in-law, I know you are very good at business, you have a strong ability to make money, and you are also very good at saving money, so the Ministry of Personnel in my Ziyan Kingdom is very suitable for you. You can first serve as the Minister of Personnel, and then retire after two years as the Minister of Personnel. If you do well, you can be promoted.
Of course, I also have a lot of private property in Zi Yan Country, and I originally planned to ask the young princes to help, but they all have their own positions and have no experience in business.
I'll leave these to you to manage. When the time comes, you'll own 20% of the shares, and I won't have to pay you. You can also buy some private property. The Purple Flame Nation is prosperous and will be even more glorious in the future. Buy early and get rich early!"
Shangguan Yue knew that Zhou Huaizhi had a lot of wealth. The shares he got in South Vietnam made him rich enough to rival a country. Adding Zeng Qianer's share, the couple had just as much money in South Vietnam as she and Bian Bian.
But in Zi Yan Country, Shangguan Yue is the boss. She has new things coming out in endlessly and she keeps selling them to other countries. Not only is the national treasury full, but her private treasury is also overflowing.
That was something that even eight or ten Zhou Huaizhis could not compare to, so money was just a number in her mind. From the initial surprise when she saw the Ninth Prince giving her a handful of gold leaves, to the later calmness, and the numbness now.
So she started to get lazy and let Zhou Huaizhi take care of the management and gave him 20% of the shares, otherwise he would have no motivation. Zhuge Bucai was busy with research and development, and she threw her new ideas to the old man Zhuge.
He would work day and night, busy like a machine, and never get tired of it. He would not be satisfied if he did less. Once he finished something, he would ask for new things. If she were not young, she would have been almost driven bald by his pestering.
Shangguan Yue stayed in Zi Yan Country for five days and arranged everything. After Zeng Qian'er was reluctant to leave and repeatedly nagging her, he used the Zi Yan Feather to escape in an instant.
Zeng Qianer's advice, which was like a monk chanting sutras, felt very warm at first, but she kept saying it, like the tight hoop on Monkey King's head, which made her headache splitting, and she would have to run away in panic.
It is better to walk away. She really admires Zhou Huaizhi very much. He is very patient and a good husband!
The three legitimate sons of the general's mansion are almost one month old, but Shangguan Yue has been gone for almost half a month and there has been no news at all. Chen Bianbian was so worried that she couldn't sleep or eat, and she even stopped producing milk.
Fortunately, she didn't have to feed her own milk, otherwise, with three babies, she wouldn't be able to take care of them even if she was a big cow, and four wet nurses in the family would have taken turns to serve them.
Fortunately, the three kids are well-behaved and obedient. They are not picky about food. As long as they have milk, they will obey their mother. They are easy to take care of. In less than a month, they have already gained a lot of weight.
Zhuge Bucai only comes to ask for the pulse occasionally. The more he looks at these three kids, the more he likes them. They are the younger brothers of the Holy Lord. If they are trained well, they will be his disciples in the future and can help him with a lot of dirty and tiring work.
He must take good care of his health so that he can serve the Holy Lord's descendants well in the future. The Holy Lord is so extraordinary that there will probably be no need to look for a new Holy Lord from outside within a few generations.
Because there are many new things that he has never seen or heard of, they are simply fantastic things that he would never dare to think about. No, they are things that he has never thought of, but they can exist in this world.
Although the Saint King gave a general idea, he also provided the main materials and the approximate production method. He worked day and night with a scientific team selected by the Saint King, and it took him two days to make ice cubes.
This is a huge contribution to Zi Yan Country. Zi Yan Country is an island country with abundant seafood. With ice, fish products no longer have to be made into salted fish.
All the fish can be caught and frozen, and when a certain amount is stored, it can be delivered to other countries. It is no longer like before, when we had to send them over quickly after catching a little bit. Although it can be delivered instantly, it cannot avoid other people's suspicion and is too tiring.
The Holy King can also turn anything produced in the sea into treasure, and even the grass in the sea can be sold. It really makes him laugh in the middle of the night.
Even fish wings and fish stomachs can be sold at sky-high prices, becoming what the rich call shark fins and fish maws. As a result, the national treasury has now added several more, and there is almost no place to store all the gold and silver.
The people became even richer and began to pursue higher levels of enjoyment. So the holy ruler invented a flush toilet that could drain dirty water to other places.
There is no need for a maid to empty the toilet, nor to make the house stink, and even for washing and taking a shower, you can use running water. It is so convenient.
The people who had abundant tap water began to purchase and install it in every household and were very satisfied. But after using it for a while and getting used to it, their requirements changed again.
I hope this water can become hot water in autumn and winter.
The sage king said that human hearts are never satisfied, and this is called pursuit, which forces us to progress and reform, which will make the country more prosperous and the people happier.
