    It started to snow lightly in Tokyo the next day, and the fine snowflakes drifted leisurely between the sky and the earth, making the antique city scenery hazy.  A carriage drove slowly from the street to the old residence of Guo Mansion.  There are still people every three or five steps in the snow. Men wearing bamboo hats and raincoats are walking casually on the bustling streets.  The armored warrior in front of the mansion walked up a few steps, looked at the eunuch who had just turned over and dismounted, and asked, "Eunuch Yang, who is in the car?" The eunuch took out a note and said, "This car cannot be searched. Open the mansion.  Door." After Wu Fu read the note, he turned around and waved.  The old wooden door opened with a creak.  When the carriage drove into the yard and stopped, the gate was closed.  After a while, a woman stepped out of the car. She covered her head tightly with a curtain. She was wearing a black fur cloak with a ribbon tied tightly under her neck.  Only the exposed shoes let others know that she was no ordinary woman. Even the embroidery on the shoes was inlaid with gold thread. It was obvious that she was rich or noble.  "Mrs. Shen, please." Yang Shiliang, the eunuch in the palace, also said politely.  A quiet voice said: "Thank you, Eunuch Yang." Mrs. Shen is Chen Jiali. She should be the richest woman in the entire Xu Dynasty and even the world.  The eunuch took Chen Jiali to the door of the lakeside wooden house and retreated silently.  There is not even a single person around this quaint house.  Just as she was about to walk in, she heard a man's voice inside: "This house is close to the water and has no backing to the mountains. It is very humid and the Feng Shui master said it is not suitable for living. But there is nothing perfect in the world. We must have good ventilation, lighting and scenery.  , I don¡¯t care about anything else.¡±¡­Chen Jiali walked into the door and said politely: ¡°I¡¯m going to pay homage to Your Majesty.¡± ¡°Mrs. Shen, you¡¯re welcome.¡± Guo Shao sat at the table and looked at her with interest.  A strict look.  She finally stretched out her hand from her cloak and reached for the curtain on her head.  The hands were as white as gel, with red patterns painted on the nails, and a sparkling gemstone ring on the ring finger, which was in great contrast with the black cloak, as if fireworks were suddenly seen in the dark night.  She weakly took off her hat and slowly took off her cloak.  "A person like me, who lives alone and in seclusion, should not meet a man, but it is hard to violate the holy order." She said a little aggrievedly.  Guo Shao joked: "She is the imperial wife of the minister's family. Can't I just meet her if I want? Mrs. Shen takes off a cloak to cover the snow. It makes me feel as nervous as watching the lady undress and take off her belt. It's really interesting." Chen Jialijiao  _ said angrily: "Your Majesty" But he would not deny that Chen Jiali was hypocritical. She has always been like this anyway.  In fact, she can make a small thing so interesting, isn't it charming?  Guo Shao has always felt that women who are tired of everything are boring.  After Chen Jiali took off the curtain, there was still a layer of translucent silk gauze on her face Guo Shao believed that the purpose of that thing was not to cover her "world-famous appearance" at all, not to mention Zhou Xian, who was more beautiful than her.  What she didn't pay attention to was the pink open-collar lining she wore. Although it was not a low-cut collar, it exposed all the snow-white skin under her collarbone, and even had a groove.  Isn¡¯t it even worse than showing your face?  Without the cloak, Chen Jiali appeared in front of Guo Shao in a bejeweled outfit. The fine silk and fair skin made her outfit dazzling, but not tacky.  The gorgeous and exquisite Chen Jiali appeared in this house that was originally a family courtyard. She seemed to be a fairy in the dust, making the surrounding environment eclipsed.  Chen Jiali has a good appearance and figure, but her beauty is different from Zhou Xian and Jinzhan. She is indeed sculpted by expensive decorations.  Who said her wealth would never be spent in eight lifetimes?  "I am not pretentious, but Yangzhou officials just built a chastity archway for me not long ago." Chen Jiali said quietly, "I am right, this kind of commendation requires the imperial court to approve the memorial. Was it your majesty who approved the memorial?  "Guo Shaomo rubbed his forehead, "Isn't it unchaste to ask Mrs. Shen to come?" Chen Jiali said: "I don't usually see men, let alone this Guo Shao really doesn't understand.  Why, he suddenly wanted to tear apart Chen Jiali's expensive clothes, as well as her framed things, to see another scenery.  He took several deep breaths and finally calmed down. He pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Mrs. Shen, please sit down. I'm inviting you over today because I have something serious to discuss." "Oh?" Chen Jiali stared at her beautiful eyes with curiosity and interest.  , Niannian sat down on the chair carefully and reservedly, with her legs close together, which seemed a bit too reserved. Guo Shao didn't understand what was wrong.  This woman holds business in so many places, and she cooperates with countless merchants and people. It is impossible for her to act like a white rabbit.  Guo ShaoShe patted the things on the table, a cloth bag and a rag, "The seeds of Tianzhu cotton and the cloth woven from it." After hearing this, Chen Jiali took a look at the piece of cloth, then stretched out her delicate fingers and pointed  He gently twisted the tip and then looked at Guo Shao's face with interest.  Guo Shaodao: "When the fleet of the Imperial Imperial Army's Dragon Army visited Tianzhu, they brought back seeds. I ordered the Agriculture Department to plant some. Cotton is warmer and softer than linen, and is cheaper and stronger than silk" After saying this, he stretched out his hand to touch  The silk material on Chen Jiali's sleeves, "The silk is exquisite, but very stingy, and it will tear with just one blow." "Isn't your Majesty talking about business?" Chen Jiali glared at him.  Guo Shaodao: "I'm not talking about business, it's important." He pondered for a moment and said, "Let's take a long-term view and look at business from a long-term perspective. There is a lot of potential for weaving. The current salt merchants are advantageous, but it is because of the salt policy implemented by the imperial court.  Iron control is caused by monopoly; but textiles are different. Everyone needs to wear clothes. Even the poor want to make new clothes during the New Year. Fabric is both a necessity and a luxury. Mrs. Shen believed in my vision and took the cotton seeds.  Go and promote it, expand the textile workshop into an industry, don¡¯t worry about sales, there will be great potential in hundreds of states, as well as the expanding overseas provinces.¡± Chen Jiali said kindly: ¡°I believe in your majesty, your majesty is talented.  "No one in the world can do it." Guo Shao nodded calmly and encouraged Chen Jiali to invest money.  But all this is just to give others confidence.  He never felt that he was a genius beyond ordinary people, but he knew that the industrial revolution started with the textile industry The path that mankind has already traveled, and the path that has been proven feasible by reality, why should we abandon it and choose another path?  ?  Chen Jiali whispered again: "I will do whatever His Majesty asks me to do. Now I have bought so many properties. If it weren't for His Majesty's support, I don't know how many people would be holding back and trying to rob them." Guo Shaodao: "I remember the night of the Tokyo mutiny,  Shall I hide in Mrs. Shen's house?" Chen Jiali raised her head and looked at him.  Guo Shao said in a deep voice: "I have always had a clear distinction between grudges and grudges, and I never want to disrespect those I trust. As long as Xu Chao is here, anyone who has trouble with Mrs. Shen is an enemy of me." After hearing this, Chen Jiali was greatly moved, "Your Majesty, please  I don¡¯t know how to repay such a great favor" "If Mrs. Shen has the heart to repay, I'm afraid she can only repay with her own body." Guo Shaodao.  Chen Jiali's face under the veil suddenly turned as red as the sunset, and she choked with sobs, "Many people who were jealous of me scolded me harshly behind my back, saying that I was both a wife and a memorial arch Now the Chastity Arch in Yangzhou  It¡¯s fixed. Isn¡¯t that what others said?¡± Guo Shao said seriously: ¡°Loyalty is also chastity, and serving the emperor is also loyalty.¡± After saying this, he tentatively put his hand on the back of her beautiful hand.  Chen Jiali lowered her head and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, who is better, Emperor Zhou E, or me?" Guo Shao: ""
