Among the top three, all three are young and handsome.

But the most outstanding one is Lu Shao, both in appearance, demeanor and figure.

Song Shaoyang was originally a well-known peerless young man in the capital, although he was outshined by Lu Shao.

But there are still many women who like him.

Not only did they throw flowers at him, they also shouted "Master Wushuang" loudly and said they wanted to marry him.

In the past, Song Shaoyang would definitely show a suave smile and wave in response to these women.

But now the smile on his face was stiff, and he waved away the flowers that were thrown at him.

He is really not blessed enough to enjoy these good fortunes now.

Now, women are like man-eating tigers to him.

He was scared. He was really scared.

The one who feels the most bitter is the third place.

Although he is older than Lu Shao and Song Shaoyang, he is also a handsome man.

It’s a pity that when compared with these two, he seems too ordinary.

I don't have many flowers or purses on me.

But fortunately, he has a good attitude and is cheerful.

It was a pleasant surprise to be able to win the third place this time.

After all, he would rank ninth in the exam.

Lu Shao rode his horse past the window of the private room where Qiao Ye and the others were.

Qiao Ye threw the flowers that she had prepared long ago to Lu Shao, "Husband, take it!"

Lu Shao felt something in his heart, and then heard Qiao Ye's voice.

He looked up, his eyes tinged with a doting smile.

He stretched out his hand and caught the flowers thrown by Qiao Ye, and said, "The flowers sent by my wife are the most beautiful!"

Then he put the flower directly on his hat.

This caused many women to scream.

She was extremely envious of Qiao Ye. Why would someone else have a husband like this?

Song Shaoyang felt sad when he saw Qiao Ye upstairs who only had eyes for Lu Shao.

He also understood that it would be unlikely for him to snatch Qiao Ye away.

After the parade, the noble lady with a stubborn temper and spoiled by her family was revealed.

She proposed to her family that she wanted to marry Lu Shao.

This time, not only did he fail to get what he wanted, he was also scolded.

If Qiao Ye didn't exist, they would be happy to have a son-in-law like Lu Shao.

But Lu Shao has a tigress wife.

This tigress not only has a good reputation in front of the emperor, but also has so many people backing her up, and her temperament is even more arrogant and unbridled.

They don't want to cause trouble to their home and have the other party come and smash it.

Not only would the marriage fail, but people would also laugh at you to death.

Qiao Ye didn't know that after she led people to smash the theater, it would have such an effect.

That night.

When Qiao Ye returned to his room after taking a shower, he saw dragon and phoenix candles lit in the room.

It was decorated with red silk, making it look festive.

Lu Shao had also finished taking a shower and was now wearing only a single layer of clothing.

He first stood up and dried Qiao Ye's hair.

There are special heaters for drying hair in the capital.

After her hair was dry, Lu Shao couldn't help but hug her.

He lowered his head and looked at Qiao Ye with deep affection and passion in his eyes, "My dear, let's enter the bridal chamber tonight."

Qiao Ye rarely saw Lu Shao's fiery eyes like that which seemed to want to swallow her whole.

His handsome and cool face would now be dyed with a different color and become extremely attractive.

She took the initiative to put her arms around his neck, her face flushed like rouge, "Okay, I'll eat you tonight."

In fact, she had wanted to eat him for a long time.

These words completely aroused the beast in Lu Shao's heart, and he couldn't wait to kiss her pink lips.

Then he carried her to the bed and lowered the bed curtains.

One night of spring...

The next day, Qiao Ye slept until he woke up naturally.

Lu Shao brought lunch to the room.

She glared at him and said, "I'm not that weak."

Although her waist and legs were a little sore, her body had a strong ability to recover.

Lu Shao chuckled and said, "I wanted to bring it in and eat with my wife."

Then the couple had lunch together, loving each other very much.

Just after finishing the meal, Jiang Yilin, Lin Hao and others came.

Then he called Qiao Ye and others to go to the casino to exchange silver.

The rebels in the gambling den were all eager to eat the flesh and blood of Qiao Ye and Jiang Yilin.

But they still had to receive them and give them the silver.

After Jiang Yilin and the others left, the third leader gnashed his teeth and said, "I must make sure Qiao Ye and his wife die."

The gambling house had gone through two cash exchanges and there was not much money left in the account.

In addition, the theater not only does not make any money, but also loses money every month.

Therefore, their activities in the capital were also restricted due to money.

They were also laughed at by other gambling houses, and some even joined forces to try to bring them down and swallow them up.

Now Qiao Ye and his wife are traitors, the people we hate the most and want to get rid of.

But they had already planned how to kill the two men.

A few days later, Qiao Ye and Lu Shao were summoned into the palace.

At this time, in addition to the emperor, there were several ministers and several people who were already involved in politics in the Imperial Study.

After meeting the emperor, Lu Shao and the other man bowed first.

The emperor raised his hand and asked the two men to stand up.

After chatting for a while, the emperor looked at Lu Shao and asked, "What method did you write in your exam paper that can economically invade the enemy country and fill the national treasury?"

Lu Shao smiled and replied, "This is what my wife thought of. We mentioned it at home."

"Originally, my wife wanted to present the recipe. Who would have thought that this would be tested during the palace examination? So I wrote it in as well."

He not only doesn't want to hide how capable his young wife is, he also wants everyone to know it.

It is even more impossible for him to take credit for his young wife's achievements.

The emperor also had an idea in his mind, and looked at Qiao Ye, "Tell me what the method is."

Qiao Ye spoke with a smile.

"Women can make things for bathing and washing clothes called soap or scented soap, which can be made from lard and sheep fat."

"It's a waste to use lard to make soap or perfumed soap."

Nowadays, many families cannot afford lard, or they eat it sparingly every day.

She thought it was too luxurious to use it to make soap.

She had thought about using sheep fat before, but because she was making candles, the supply of sheep fat was limited, so she didn't do it.

"I suggest that the emperor should open a workshop at the border to purchase sheep."

"No matter if they are from Dayin or the enemy country, they can sell their sheep to the workshop."

"Then the mutton can be made into canned food and bacon jerky; the mutton fat can be made into soap; the sheepskin can be made into boots; the wool can be made into blankets or yarn, etc."

"The price you get can be higher than the price the enemy country's people sell it for in their own country."

"Or we can just barter, using sheep to exchange for the salt, cloth, tea, food, etc. they need."

“Let them gradually become dependent on the workshop.”

“In addition, the workshops opened by the court can also recruit some herdsmen to slaughter sheep, etc.”

"Blanket and wool workshops can also employ some women from the grasslands."

"besides……"

Qiao Ye said a lot, and the emperor and several ministers' eyes became brighter and brighter.

After she finished speaking, she pointed to the two wooden boxes and a pottery jar she had brought.

"These two wooden boxes contain soap and scented soap made from sheep fat."

"The pottery jar contains canned stewed lamb."

Now that we have rubber, we can make airtight lids for cans.

Although glass technology is becoming more and more mature, the cost is still too high compared to modern times.

So she thought of using clay pots.

Simply put the raw lamb and seasonings into a clay pot and braise it directly on the fire.

Then put the lid on and place it in a pot with water to cover the cans.

After boiling over high heat, simmer over medium heat for about two hours to sterilize it at high temperature.

After sterilizing and waiting for the canned food to cool down, check whether there are any cracks in the canned food and whether the bottle caps are sealed.

Such canned food can be stored at room temperature for about a year.

There is no shortage of sheep and meat in the border areas, but there is a shortage of meat in many places in Dayin.

Moreover, the price of meat in border areas is low, so the cost is also low.

So she wanted to make use of it. The court could make the mutton there into canned and smoked meat and transport it to various places to sell.

The main source of income on the grassland is animal husbandry, and in the future all the sheep will be sold to the court here.

By exchanging the necessities of life for them, they will become dependent on Dayin.

If the people have enough food and water, they will be satisfied and will not want war anymore.

The emperor and others looked at the two wooden boxes and pottery jars with some curiosity.
