After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion

With so many fields in hand, more experimental fields can be opened, and Mu Qing will also have a place to plant the various seeds he collected.

As for the orphan adopted by Shen Moyan, Mu Qing had other ideas. Since he was going to raise the orphan, he had to raise him well.

Mu Qing currently uses his monthly salary to hire someone to take care of his younger children.

As for the older Mu Qing, he has not yet figured out what kind of work to let them do.

But education must be brought up.

For example, learning to read and keep accounts, so that they can master a skill after they leave here and not starve to death.

Mu Qing spent the whole day arranging matters for these orphans.

In addition to storing food to cope with the turbulent times, Mu Qing also had a group of children who needed to be taken care of.

The burden of supporting the family fell on a child who was only eight years old.

Mu Qing sighed.

How can the monthly salary support all kinds of expenses? We can’t save money, we have to increase revenue.

Shen Moyan quietly watched Mu Qing assign the tasks step by step, and he also knew that he had caused a lot of trouble for his junior sister.

"Junior sister, it's better for me to continue to lead you."

"What's good about that? Brother, you are still in the Nascent Soul stage. You won't starve to death even if you don't eat for a year, let alone a day. They are ordinary people who need to eat three meals a day."

Shen Moyan looked at the children in silence.

There was a severe drought last year, and most of these children were abandoned because their families could not survive due to poor harvests.

Mu Qing knew how difficult it was to feed so many people during a natural disaster, but he didn't know what to do.

She is just like Shen Moyan, neither of them can bear to be cruel, but the world is so bad.

Mu Qing had seen a lot of suffering in the world, which was why she asked her senior brother to bring them to the village.

Mu Qing let out a long sigh:

"Brother, please don't try to persuade me yet. We still need to earn money. I can't draw Qi into my body. Fortunately, I can still feel the spiritual energy in this world. I will have to rely on you to protect me in the future."

"Of course I will protect you. After not seeing you for a few years, Junior Sister has become unfamiliar with me."

Shen Moyan's tone was depressed.

Mu Qing could sense the grievance from Shen Moyan's gentle face.

Mu Qing knew that her senior brother was being upset again.

Everyone in the sect, perhaps because Mu Qing had such a hard time practicing, was especially caring towards him.

For a moment, Mu Qing seemed to have returned to the Tianjian Sect, and her eyes softened:

"No, Senior Brother is still Senior Brother."

After a lot of comforting, Shen Moyan finally returned to normal.

If one wants to make money, one naturally has to start with the richest target groups of this dynasty.

Scholars, landlords and wealthy businessmen.

Mu Qing looked up at the sky, feeling a little sad.

In the feudal era, the ways to make money were almost monopolized by various classes. Now, trying to squeeze in would be like taking someone else's cake.

It's hard.

The weather in July is getting hotter, and the clouds seem to be floating under the sunlight.

Mu Qing did not fully understand the Four Books and Five Classics, but he had a good understanding of them through hard work.

According to the imperial examination system of the Tiansheng Dynasty, there is no age limit for the examination, and Mu Qing can take the exam this year.

However, Mu Shan still wanted Mu Qing to wait a little longer, so that he could pass the county examination and the provincial examination to become a student, and then take part in the academy examination twice every three years to become a scholar.

This was exactly what Mu Qing wanted.

Apart from anything else, Mu Qing knew that she was a girl. If the examination before the Tiansheng Dynasty's imperial examination was strict, Mu Qing might not pass the first level.

Mu Qing sat by the window, while Liu, or Liu Yun, sat beside her worriedly:

"Alas, your father's fellow disciples are all high-ranking officials. I have been considering for a long time and still don't know how to prepare the gifts."

"The price of colored glass is high now. Where can I find other colored glass to give them as a return gift? Sigh."

Liu Yun held the pen and frowned.

Mu Qing thought of the Liuli he saw in Mu Shan’s study a few days ago.

In modern times, she had seen too many different styles of colored glass, but when she saw Mu Shan couldn't let go of a colored glass teapot, Mu Qing took a few more glances.

The quality of the colored glaze is not very good, with many mixed colors and bubbles.

Mu Qing lost interest immediately.

When Mu Qing heard the news about Liuli again, he was clearly attracted by the high price of Liuli.

"Mother, how much is a glass pot worth now?"

"The estimated value of flawless colored glass is at least one hundred taels, and even those with slight flaws are worth dozens of taels."

!

One hundred taels!

The current climate is somewhat similar to the precursor of the Little Ice Age, and natural disasters are becoming more frequent.

Mu Qing had heard about the skyrocketing price of goods outside in recent years. In contrast, the circulation of luxury goods increased and the prices on the market were relatively low.

Mu Qing didn't expect that Liuli's strength would increase instead of decrease.

This price is a bit outrageous.

Mu Qing immediately thought of the words recorded in "Book of Wei - Biography of Western Rong":

During the reign of Emperor Shizu of the Great Yuezhi State, merchants from the state came to the capital and claimed that they could cast stones into five-colored glass. So they mined the mines in the mountains and cast them in the capital. When they were finished, their luster was more beautiful than those from the west. They ordered a temporary hall to be built, which could accommodate more than a hundred people. The luster was so bright that everyone who saw it was shocked and thought it was made by gods...

Colored glaze is one of the five famous Chinese artifacts. Judging from Mu Shan's love for it, it must have been sought after by many scholars in the Tianchi Dynasty.

Mu Qing didn't think about Liuli at first, but Liu Yun's words at this moment reminded Mu Qing.

The colored glaze craftsmanship at that time was not perfect enough, the colors were single, and the output was very small.

An ordinary glass ornament can be sold at a high price of several hundred taels, which is a huge profit!

Mu Qing's eyes lit up, he had found a way to make money.

Mu Qing remembered the more sophisticated glass craftsmanship, and he remembered it very clearly.

Mu Qing could remember clearly any text he had ever seen.

Mu Qing has a wide range of interests. He began reading various books since he was a child before he started working. Mu Qing reads them with great interest, whether they are literary works or science and engineering textbooks.

When he went to university, Mu Qing mainly read various documents, including the production process of colored glaze. Mu Qing even looked up the relevant sop at that time.

The steps are there, and what we need to consider is whether we can replicate them completely.

The main components of glass are silicates and carbonates, which can be extracted from minerals in nature.

The most commonly used raw materials are quartz, limestone and soda ash. After grinding and mixing, these minerals can be made into the raw materials of glass.

Even though Mu Qing had thought of making colored glass before, he didn't dare to take any big action. First, there was a big question mark as to whether it would be realized. Second, Mu Qing's identity was not suitable for making colored glass.

What's more, Mu Qing is in Shengjing, the center of power, so he has to be cautious in everything he says and does.

Mu Qing's interest in and rationality for farming had been secretly laid out for several years.

It’s different with glass, it’s an extremely profitable industry and it deals with businessmen.

Fortunately, we have Shen Moyan now, so some things can be done in Shen Moyan’s name.
