Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

The next morning, Xu Jinyu was still in bed when Princess Changle dug him out from under the quilt.

Xu Jinyu couldn't open his eyes, and with his messy hair, he looked at Princess Changle in a trance.

She was hit by the status of Daqian women yesterday and thought of ways for most of the night, but didn't know how to intervene.

If she dared to shout for gender equality or to improve the status of women in the court.

The officials in the court could eat her up no matter whether she was the Princess Guardian of the Country or not.

By the way, we should also dig up her ancestors and curse them.

This touches upon the core interests of men.

"Tai'an, is there a secret recipe that can be used by a large number of women?"

Princess Changle asked straight to the point.

"Yes, silk and cloth. Women are needed to weave cloth."

Xu Jinyu studied hard for a long time yesterday, and he was able to answer Princess Changle's questions without even having to think.

"Well, I'll go and start spinning and weaving right away."

Princess Changle made the decision by clapping her hands.

"It's not that simple."

Xu Jinyu continued to say in a daze: "Who should we sell the woven cloth and silk to? The farmers are too poor, and there are only so many rich families."

"If too much silk is woven, the price of silk will drop, and the weavers will lose everything they have. Even if you are a princess, you can't afford it."

"There are also women making money, but whether the money can reach the hands of women is a problem."

Xu Jinyu patted Princess Changle's shoulder with sleepy eyes.

"Ideals are full of hope, but reality is very skinny."

Princess Changle fell into deep thought.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

No one was making a noise. Xu Jinyu closed his eyes and even snored happily.

Princess Changle grabbed Xu Jinyu's shoulders and shook her vigorously.

"Tell me! What should I do?"

Xu Jinyu's brains were nearly shaken out. If he didn't wake up any more, he would be a god.

"Don't! Don't shake! I'm awake, awake!"

"Tell me what to do when you wake up."

Xu Jinyu threw her messy hair behind her head and asked Princess Changle: "Are you sure you want to tell me this."

"Sure!"

So the two princesses sat cross-legged on the bed to discuss things.

"Keep telling me about weaving and spinning."

"It is not realistic to build a weaving and spinning mill now. We are still hungry and it is too early to think about silk."

Princess Changle's shoulders suddenly slumped, and she said listlessly, "Is there any other way?"

Xu Jinyu touched his chin and said, "There is another recipe that can be made by a woman, but it is a little more difficult."

Princess Changle stretched out her hand: "Give me the recipe, I'll buy it."

“But I don’t want to sell it!”

"Here, we'll split the profits 40% to 60%."

This is what Xu Jinyu was waiting for. The soap recipe is a great way for time travelers to make money, so he doesn't plan to sell it so easily.

"The deal is done. You can sell all of this recipe to Daqian."

The deal between Princess Tai'an and Princess Changle was so hastily concluded on the bed.

In the following days, Xu Jinyu was busy with his glass workshop and Qianji Pavilion.

With the example of the female clerks in Qianji Pavilion, and Princess Changle's open recruitment of women to work, many women appeared on the streets of the capital city unknowingly.

They were all poor women trying to make a living. At least there were no scholars pointing fingers at them and scolding them for being unfaithful when they went out on the street.

With the arrival of the first winter snow, the main roads in the capital were finally repaired.

The rest will not be repaired until the beginning of next spring.

The capital city is also much more lively this year because of the treasure called sweater. People wear sweater inside and a robe outside.

It’s not cold at all, but it’s a bit painful to take off and put on clothes.

The crackling sparks hurt people.

But this little pain is much better than freezing to death.

And Xu Jinyu's glass workshop can finally produce products.

Manager He stood respectfully in front of Xu Jinyu, with shock still on his face.

"Your Highness, the glass windows and mirrors you mentioned have been manufactured. The mirror can reflect a person clearly, and even every hair can be seen clearly."

"It's made."

Xu Jinyu was delighted when she heard this: "Then replace the glass in my window first."

The windows in ancient times were all covered with paper. In summer, gauze could be used, but in winter, only paper could be used.

The windows were covered with paper, and the room would be extremely dark if no light was turned on.

Most importantly, it doesn't keep you warm.

Even through a few thin layers of paper, you can still feel the biting cold wind when standing in front of the window.

Nanny He reminded Xu Jinyu: "Why don't we send some to the palace first."

"cough····"

"Why are you in such a hurry? The thing has just been made. I need to test its hardness first. This is for the safety of Your Majesty."

Xu Jinyu's face was full of loyalty.

He looked like he could block a knife for Emperor Xuan at any time.

Nanny He had a blank expression on her face. What are you thinking about? It's just that we can't hear your inner voice now. Who knows, you might be cursing His Majesty in your heart.

[Why give it to the emperor? I made it myself, so of course I have to use it myself first.]

The Guards Next Door: Very good, familiar taste, familiar opening, another day when His Majesty is disliked.

However, the news can still be sent to the palace to warm His Majesty's heart in this cold winter.

"Come on, Manager He, let's go to the glass workshop and call Princess Changle and Wei An along the way."

"Yes!"

Nanny He agreed.

Half an hour later,

The regular program of Fengtian Hall begins.

"Xu Jinyu, you little bastard, why didn't you send me some of the good stuff when you had it? You put me second."

"Wait, after the New Year, I will make her wake up in the middle of the night to attend court every day!"

Eunuch Liu looked up at Emperor Xuan.

Your Majesty, do you want to be scolded by Lord Xu again?

And you have lowered your standards for Mr. Xu again.

In the past, Lord Xu’s reward was withheld, but now it has changed to requiring Lord Xu to attend court after the New Year.

If you get up early to bother Lord Xu, you won't have to worry about Lord Xu sending a few more people in.

And you are not the second one, but the fourth one. According to reliable information, Princess Changle went out with Lord Wei and Lord Xu from the Ministry of Works. It is estimated that the second and third ones are Princess Changle and Lord Wei from the Ministry of Works.

At the gate of the capital city, Gong Weiyi sat on a green-covered donkey cart, swinging the whip in his hand and driving towards the city gate.

The captain guarding the gate saw him and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Sir Gong, it's so cold, where are you going? Would you like me to send someone to take you there?"

When Gong Weiyi was greeted, he put down the whip in his hand with a smile and pulled the donkey cart to the side so as not to block the people passing by.

After doing all this, the old man smiled and said, "Captain Li, from today on, I am no longer Lord Gong, but just an old man."

"Today~~I am going back to my hometown."

Returning home in the middle of winter? And without a servant or guard.

Do you think you are dying too slowly?

Captain Li almost asked this question.

But thinking of Mr. Gong's character, Captain Li smiled and became more eager: "Why don't you leave in the early spring of next year? It's too cold to leave now. I'll send someone to take you back home."

Gong Weiyi raised his hand to signal the captain to shut up and said seriously,

"I am no longer an official. I am just a commoner. How can I employ soldiers? Besides, I am incorruptible. Even if I encounter robbers, I will not be in any danger."

"But····"

Captain Li is not going to give up yet.

"No need to say more, I'm leaving now!"

Gong Weiyi whipped the whip, and the donkey pulled the cart away with a "da da da" sound.

Looking at Gong Weiyi's back, Lieutenant Li sighed: "Mr. Gong is a truly honest official!"

“There are still truly honest officials in this world.”

A guard came up to Captain Li.

Lieutenant Li shook his head, his eyes far away: "Don't look down on the people of the world. Lord Gong is the Langzhong of the Ministry of Personnel, responsible for evaluating the performance of local officials."

"All officials who came to him were told to do what they wanted. Lord Gong even kicked out officials who gave him gifts."

"The official who was kicked out didn't give any gifts in the end, but he was still promoted."

"Lord Gong said that he does not accept gifts, as long as the officials can achieve results."

"That's why I say that Lord Gong is a truly honest official. Look, when Lord Gong resigned and returned home, all his luggage was this donkey cart."

"What do other officials feel like when they resign and return to their hometowns? Think about it."
