To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

Jia Chun thought for a few seconds and imagined a route to Shengjing in his mind.

"Usually it's by water, which is expensive, and you have to hire a few people who are good at swimming, unless it's an important matter. If you take the dirt road, there is no obstruction in Lingcheng, but you have to know that it is surrounded by mountains, so you need to climb the mountains to get out, and then take a carriage to Shengjing.

It takes ten days by water, and a month by dirt road."

Jiusu's heart was completely chilled. She asked doubtfully, "Then how do we do business with the outside world?"

Jia Chun talked freely about business matters.

"It's like this. There is a Chamber of Commerce in Lingcheng. If you go out, you will charter a ship together to go to other places. And every three years, wealthy businessmen will come here to select products. In short, if Miss Jiu wants to do business, it is still very simple."

"I see." Jiusu continued to ask, "What are the requirements for joining the Chamber of Commerce?"

Madam Jia smiled and joked, "Well, there are no requirements. If Miss Jiu wants to join, we can recommend her. It's very simple. Just pay a fee of ten taels of silver and almost everyone can join."

Jiusu took a sip of water, coughed lightly a few times, and put the silver on the table.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Master Jia."

"It's just a small matter." Jia Chun said hurriedly, "If we can do something for Miss Jiu and Mr. Jiang, we will feel better."

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door.

An old man with white hair walked briskly. Before he even entered the door, he said, "I heard that it's my benefactor who has come? Let me see him quickly."

His eyes fell on the two young men and he bowed deeply.

"Thank you both."

Jiang Jing quickly held his arm and helped him up, "You are so polite."

Madam Jia took his arm and said with a smile, "Father, Miss Jiu wants to discuss a business deal with you. Please take care of your daughter and ask for less money."

"The voice of a benefactor, I don't want money." Mr. Lin waved his hand generously, sat on the wooden chair, and asked curiously, "What kind of porcelain do you want, young lady?"

Jiusu's eyes darkened, not knowing whether they could accept it. After a pause, he slowly spoke.

“Actually, it’s not porcelain.

I want to ask Mr. Lin to make something called glass."

She pulled a small mirror from her sleeve, stood up and handed it to him.

Elder Lin's eyes widened continuously, and he almost forgot to breathe. He touched the object in his hand. The surface was smooth, and there was a clear face on it. He exclaimed, "It's amazing, it's really amazing. Is this a divine object? Could it be that the glass that Miss Jiu mentioned is this object?"

Jiusu nodded.

The couple walked behind their father curiously and saw that the faces of three people were reflected in the small mirror.

"Oh my God, is it too clear? My face is so white?" Mrs. Jia took it curiously and looked at herself in the mirror vainly. I ask you, which girl would be able to walk after seeing this?

Mr. Lin could not hide the joy in his eyes. He has been working with ceramics all his life, pursuing ultimate beauty and refinement.

He said excitedly: "Miss Jiu, please tell me about this thing. How can such a beautiful thing be made? As long as you are willing to explain, I will agree to anything you ask."

Jiusu took out a written paper and handed it over. "This is the method of making glass. According to my guess, glass has never appeared before. It should be more expensive than jade, right? I want to borrow the exquisite craftsmanship of Mr. Lin to create 'glass'."

Mr. Lin studied it carefully and sighed after reading it.

"Sand is used to make this thing, and potassium carbonate and limestone are added when it is fired in the kiln... Girl, I know limestone, but what is this potassium carbonate?"

Jiusu explained: "Soak the wood ash in cold water, filter it repeatedly, and boil it dry to make potassium carbonate."

Mr. Lin folded the prescription and nodded seriously.

"I worked with the girl to make this thing for free. I just wanted to leave my name on this exquisite item. If it gets out, it will definitely bring honor to our family."

"No, brothers have to settle accounts clearly. You can calculate the raw materials and sell them to me at a low price." Jiusu raised his hand to stop the others from being polite. "In fact, I am already very lucky. Mr. Lin found the raw materials and the workers are all yours. I am just making money for nothing. In addition, these are the uses of several types of glass. Mr. Lin should also study them together. I need small glass bottles like this very much."

Elder Lin patted his chest and said, "Okay, rest assured, young lady, I will definitely develop it as soon as possible."

Jiusu left his address to Jia Chun and left the small mirror to Mrs. Jia. After dinner, they rested in the backyard room of the Jia Mansion.

She was really tired these days and was worried all day long. She lay down on the big and soft bed and fell asleep quickly.

"Well…"

I don’t know what’s going on next door, it’s so noisy, and there’s a woman’s voice.

Ok?

Wake up instantly!

The person living next door is Jiang Jing, and there is a woman in his room! ?

The candlelight in the room fell on the maid, and she said shyly: "I am here to help Master Jiang sleep. Hey? Why are you hiding? Are you afraid that Miss Jiu will be angry? But how can a good man be devoted to only one woman, Master~"

Jiang Jing's face was not looking good, and he confronted her across the table.

"I'm not a good man. You probably found the wrong person."

"If I say you are, then you are." The maid chased the man around the table, but couldn't catch up. She put her hands on her hips and said coquettishly, "I'm not a monster, why are you running away~"

Jiang Jing's eyes darkened, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I am a fugitive."

The maid was obviously stunned, with an expression of disbelief on her face. After a long while, she wanted to reconfirm, "You are a fugitive? How is that possible? You are clearly a great contributor to Lingcheng!"

"I am indeed a fugitive, the only fugitive in Lingcheng. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask around." Jiang Jing said seriously. He watched the maid run away with an unnatural look on her face. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and laughed at himself.

For so long, this was the only time this terrible identity brought him any benefit.

The door opened again.

Jiang Jing frowned, "If you don't leave, I will tell Master Jia."

"Then I'll leave?" Jiusu raised his eyebrows.

The next second, Jiang Jing turned around suddenly and saw the person at the door. Fearing that she might misunderstand, he hurriedly explained: "Just now..."

Jiusu interrupted him and said with a smile: "I heard everything. Lock the door and go to bed early. We have to travel tomorrow. Good night, boyfriend."

boom!

The teacup fell to the ground. Despite the prefect's consolation, Wang Daozhi still collapsed. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "I worked so hard for Yang Xu, but ended up like this. I don't know if Yang Xu is blind to rely on a fugitive? It's ridiculous!"

The prefect took a sip of tea and said, "Don't worry."

"Sir, how can I not be anxious?" Wang Daozhi was going crazy. He was dismissed from his official position and everyone looked down on him. He hated them so much that he wanted to kill Jiang Jing and Jiusu.

The prefect put down the porcelain cup and said calmly.

"What's the big deal? Lord Yang is just an investigator. Once he leaves, I will have the final say in Lingcheng. Aren't those two from Suming County? How about I send you there to be the county magistrate?"

"Thank you, sir!" Wang Daozhi knelt on the ground, his eyes showing hatred and satisfaction, his teeth clenched, "I will definitely get rid of these two people!"
