I fought back after reselling my engagement

Since Chunfeng took over the position of the owner of Baixian Manor, the protection has been strengthened and outsiders are not allowed to enter. Once entering Baixian Manor, even if you want to meet relatives and friends, you will go to the guest house in the front manor to meet. All outsiders are not allowed to enter the villa.

The glass group released a series of achievements, which made the craftsmen from other groups very jealous.

"The princess is well-versed in history and knowledge. This time, she has been guiding the glass craftsmen. In just one month, the results are amazing!"

The work that the jewelry group takes on is to inlay glass beads of various colors and make them into various kinds of jewelry. Men's crowns, waist bags, women's hairpins, hairpins, and bracelets can all be inlaid, and the finished products are very beautiful.

Su Zhen had the glass jewelry sent to the auction house of Yaxian Manor. When the nobles and aristocrats of Yueyang Prefecture saw the new stuff, they speculated that the jewelry, which originally cost only a few taels of silver, had never seen such beautiful glass beads, and they sold them at sky-high prices.

Su Zhen asked Chunxiao to keep an eye on the jewelry being auctioned and also made an account book report.

Chunmei and Xiayang stood aside.

Chun Xiao said with great joy: "The Bubugaosheng gold inlaid glass crown was sold for 188,600 taels of silver, minus 10% commission; the Bubugaosheng silver inlaid glass crown was sold for 187,800,000 taels of silver..."

The glass crown is made of larger glass beads, and even the style was drawn by the princess. The two crowns are exactly the same, the only difference is that one is pure gold and the other is pure silver. Both crowns are worn by men and have particularly auspicious names.

Su Zhen was silent for a moment: "Sure enough, there are many rich people."

Chun Xiao couldn't stop laughing. "This auction raised a total of 1,267,300 taels of silver, all of which have been converted into silver notes."

Su Zhen took over the account book. "Jiangnan has been rich and prosperous since ancient times. We sent a batch of glass jewelry and ornaments to Jinling and Yangzhou. The money we earned was used to build a royal glass workshop. One was located in the southern suburbs and the other in the northern suburbs. All the money we earned from this batch of glass jewelry will be sent to the capital by the Supervisory Guards and presented to the emperor."

It’s so easy to make money from rich people.

On the second day, Su Zhen rewarded the glass workshop with 30,000 taels of silver notes, the loom group with 20,000 taels of silver, and the jewelry group with 10,000 taels of silver. He also sent a batch of gold and silver to allow them to continue making jewelry and encouraged the craftsmen to boldly design and innovate jewelry styles. The specific assignments were given to the two groups of masters.

Chunmei asked, "The princess won't take a look at it again?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured that the Supervisory Department will do its job. Just hand over the account book to Your Majesty. I can still afford the cost of making jewelry."

Why should she be worried? The money was in her own hands, which made it easier for her. She made a lot of money and had more than one million taels of silver in her hands. When the time came, she could send the glass mirror to the auction house and get another sum of money.

Su Zhen went to the farm, where there were twelve farmers. In each family, either the old man was proficient in farming, or the father was proficient in planting fruit trees, some were good at raising chickens and ducks, and some were good at raising pigs, etc., each with their own strengths.

Su Zhen visited every household, asking about their experience in raising chickens and giving them advice from time to time. In the past, they would not have listened to him, but everyone knew that this princess was very powerful and the glass workshop was very popular. It was said that the princess personally submitted a memorial to the court, asking for official positions for the craftsmen and apprentices of the glass workshop, such as junior, intermediate, senior, and extra senior glass masters. The junior one was like an eighth-rank official, the intermediate one was like a seventh-rank official, the senior one was like a sixth-rank official, and the extra senior one was treated like a fifth-rank official.

Su Zhen implemented the modern theory of professional titles in the planning and regulations of the Glass Workshop. Professional titles can be promoted through assessment. The primary level is divided into deputy primary and full primary. Full primary is full eighth rank, and deputy primary is secondary eighth rank; the intermediate level is divided into deputy middle and full middle. Deputy middle is secondary seventh rank, and full middle is full seventh rank. And so on, and the special high-level needs to be a national master, enjoying the treatment and monthly allowance of full fifth rank. Only when you reach the level of senior master can you accept apprentices and teach art.

At the duck-raising family, Su Zhen taught them how to make quilts and sew duck down winter clothes.

Families who grew fruit trees were once encouraged to try making preserved fruits to enrich people's food. Fruits are not easy to store, but they can still be used to make preserved fruits, juice, and fruit wine.

Try making juice, wine and preserved fruits together with people who grow fruit trees.

Xiao Luo admired her very much, "Sister Chunxiao, we are all human beings. The princess can think of many ways to make money, but we haven't thought of any."

Chun Xiao said with some pride: "With your brain, you won't be able to figure it out no matter how many years you think about it."

Xiao Luo said: "Preserved fruits, juice, and fruit wine must be delicious."

At the end, she kept swallowing.

Su Zhen first visited the farmland and crops at two farmers' homes. Because they had been encouraged to plant new varieties of crops earlier, the eldest son of one family went into the mountains on purpose and brought back some plants that he couldn't even name to plant.

The woman said, "Da Hu is just fooling around. He even reclaimed a piece of wasteland behind his house and planted all the things he brought back, including thorny vines, herbs, and other things whose names I can't even name."

Su Zhen smiled and said, "It's a good thing that young people dare to innovate and try. Be careful when you go into the mountains. I heard there are big insects in the mountains."

Da Hu smiled nervously.

Su Zhen said: "I'll go take a look at the crop garden you reclaimed."

Da Hu was stunned for a moment.

The woman urged, “Why don’t you lead the way?”

Su Zhen arrived at Dahu's crop garden. Dahu knew the names of some of the crops, but not others.

Su Zhen said: "This is called wild grapes. Most of the wild grapes in the Central Plains are not strong. The grapes in the Western Regions are the best. They can be dried and made into dried fruits, and can also be made into wine. There is a poem that goes: Grape wine is in the luminous cup, and the pipa is urging me to drink. Don't laugh at me sleeping drunk on the battlefield, how many people have ever returned from the battles in ancient times? Western Region wine is also a famous wine. When I get the Western Region grape seedlings one day, you will be the one to tend and take care of them."

Da Hu was delighted and knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times.

Every young person has lofty ambitions.

If that were true, he would be able to excel.

He didn't say much, but his gratitude was genuine.

Su Zhen looked for a while, and his eyes fell on a dead plant that was more than a foot tall. "Cotton!"

It's really cotton!

There are white cloud-like cotton flowers on top, but there are only three of them, and the bolls have turned black.

The family looked very happy when they saw Su Zhen.

"Princess, this is called cotton?"

"Yes, this crop can be spun and woven. The woven cloth is called cotton cloth, and the thread is called cotton thread. Cotton can also be made into quilts and cotton clothes to keep you warm."

She picked three cotton flowers, but unfortunately, most of the cotton seeds inside had been eaten by mice. After breaking open the blackish dead cotton bolls, the cotton seeds inside were still intact.

"Cotton seeds are the seeds of cotton. They can be planted after the spring equinox next year..." She tore out two cotton seeds from it. "The ones that matured naturally earlier are gone. It's a pity. If the people of Daqi planted cotton, there would be no more people freezing to death in a few years..."

This thing is a good thing. It can be used to weave cotton clothes, quilts, and cotton cloth.
