Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Yanshan,

The camp of the Plum Blossom Inner Guard,

Zhao En's team was completely wiped out, more than half of the original members of the Plum Blossom Guard were killed or injured, and many of the relatives detained here had actually lost their value.

The two princes did not clean them out because they did not want to disappoint their other subordinates, so the camp has existed until now.

They didn't know that someone was always watching them in the dark. After receiving the call for rescue, countless men in black surrounded the camp from all directions under the cover of night.

The clouds in the sky covered the gray moon, and Zuixianju also closed its first day of business.

The windows were blocked with thin wooden boards and guards were standing guard outside. Although the price of glass had plummeted, some people might not believe it and wanted to attack the restaurant.

Glass is not valuable, but if it is broken it will affect tomorrow's business, which would be a huge loss.

On the first day of opening,

The glass beer bottle attracted 270,000 taels of recharge, which will be converted into sales in the future. Not counting the recharge, the restaurant's daily turnover is as high as 270,000 taels.

The restaurant opens today to entertain guests. It actually officially opens at noon. The turnover in half a day is over ten thousand. Shouldn't it double tomorrow?

The high consumption level in Beijing is one factor, but the main reason is the thorough preparation.

The restaurant built its reputation with two dishes promoted one month in advance, namely the glass windows, glass beer, top-up and gift voucher activities.

It is natural to achieve such results.

Zheng Tianming generously gave red envelopes to the waiters and the kitchen staff, 2 taels each, and the head chef and the shopkeeper another 5 taels.

"It will be very hard during the opening period of the restaurant. I hope everyone can work together to overcome the difficulties. If the turnover exceeds 20,000 tomorrow, each person will receive an additional 5 taels of silver!"

There will always be brave men under great rewards.

5 taels of silver is a huge sum of money for ordinary people. On the second day of the restaurant, with the active efforts of everyone, the restaurant had a very high turnover rate.

After successfully achieving an extra tael of turnover, Zheng Tianming fulfilled his promise and distributed 5 taels of silver to everyone.

The hotel's business is booming, and the glass shop next door is also very popular.

The store opened in a low-key manner, with not many customers, but its sales volume far surpassed that of the restaurant.

We ordered more than 1200 pieces of glass, the largest size being 1 square meter, and more than 4000 pieces of other sizes, and sold 140 sets of glass tea sets, each consisting of a cold cup and 6 small cups.

Although the unit price of colored glaze has been reduced by thousands or tens of thousands of times, the advantage lies in the large quantity. The store’s sales on the opening day exceeded one million!

Glass installation and window renovation require a professional team. The engineering team in Xiaojiazhuang will be very busy in the future. Uncle Tang walks with great vigor.

The businesses managed by other people in Tangjiazhuang can make money for Xiao Yunxi, and so can his decoration team.

With the completion of the renovation of Marquis Jingyang's house, the nobles in Beijing set off a wave of renovation fever. Glass windows are indeed more practical than window paper.

For half a year, Liuli maintained its popularity, but that is a story for later.

On the second day after the glass shop opened, Xiao Yunxi took a break from her busy schedule and prepared to have a good rest, but the Xiao Mansion welcomed a distinguished guest.

"My lord, please see your Majesty."

It was quite strange and sudden that the old emperor came to the Xiao Mansion. No one was notified. Only Dabao was winking at her beside the emperor.

He was kept in the palace by the emperor yesterday and had no way to remind his mother. It shouldn't be too late to remind her now, right?

All Xiao Yunxi received were garbled characters, and she didn't understand what they meant. The old emperor glanced at the room Xiao Yunxi used as a classroom. It was bright and clean.

The glass was extremely large, almost transparent, and many times purer than the glass in his own collection.

The emperor felt unhappy and spoke with a sour tone.

"The Crown Princess is truly generous. The windows are all made of this quality colored glass. The value of the colored glass alone is equivalent to half the imperial palace, right?"

It's unclear how much silver is needed to build the palace, but it's obvious that the dog emperor is looking for trouble.

"Your Majesty, you may not know that the current price of glass is not expensive. If Your Majesty wishes, the palace can also replace it."

She was just being polite, but the emperor took it seriously.

"The Hall of Mental Cultivation is planning to renovate and replace all the windows with glass. I heard you have workers, so I'm giving you this job. If you do a good job, all the windows in the palace will be replaced with glazed windows. Then the project will be handed over to you."

If you want something for free, just say it directly. If you insist on making promises, can she refuse or what?

"Your Majesty is wise and wise. I will definitely satisfy you."

Liuli is worthless. There is no need to fuss over such trivial matters. That is not courage, that is stupidity.

"I heard from Dabao that you made this glass?"

"Yes."

"Can I see the firing process?"

Since you said so, if I refuse, wouldn't it be ungrateful?

"Your Majesty, it's fine for you to watch, but I hope Your Majesty can keep it a secret..."

There is no big technical difficulty in firing glass. The raw materials are mainly three things: quartz sand, soda ash and limestone.

Auxiliary raw materials, colorants, and emulsifiers are not needed, but clarifiers are needed to make the glass more transparent, mainly Glauber's salt.

The raw materials for firing glass are common, the temperature is 1500 degrees, and it is easy to learn if you know the steps. Now is the time to make money, and she doesn't want others to steal her skills.

The emperor's mouth twitched. "Am I the kind of person who steals skills? If I want the skills, I'll just grab them... If I just ask for them, you dare not give them to me?"

"presumptuous!"

Before he opened his mouth, someone stood up.

The Master of Wenhua Hall, the emperor's former teacher, and a great scholar of the time, Wu Yingda.

"All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects... The whole world belongs to your majesty, so the glass-making technology must naturally be presented to your majesty..."

He gave it away for free right away. I don’t know whether this old guy is good or bad.

The emperor thought about it but didn't say anything.

The purpose of coming here today is to challenge Xiao Yunxi. Wu Yingda is the emperor's teacher and also a disciple of the saint. It is only right for him to fire the first shot.

Xiao Yunxi is a rebellious person who only responds to soft words and does not tolerate harshness. What he hates most is a dog in sheep's clothing.

There is nothing wrong with many aspects of Confucianism. Those who use or castrate Confucianism to please the emperor deserve to die.

"You keep saying that all under heaven belongs to the king and all the people in the world are his subjects. If the emperor wants to take your wife away, what will you do?"

"..."

The whole audience was stunned. Aren’t these words a bit too bold?

"Absurd! Vulgar!"

Wu Yingda's face turned pale and he bowed to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's Consort's words were vulgar. Please punish her."

Xiao Yunxi said softly:

"As the sages say, if the ruler treats his subjects like his own hands and feet, then his subjects will treat him like their own heart and soul; if the ruler treats his subjects like dogs and horses, then his subjects will treat him like his fellow countrymen; if the ruler treats his subjects like dirt, then his subjects will treat him like an enemy... If Your Majesty steals something from the people, whether it's glassmaking techniques or someone's wife... then it's Your Majesty's fault, and your subjects should step forward to remind and correct you... If a father fails to teach his children, it's the father's fault; if a teacher fails to teach them strictly, it's the teacher's fault. How can you, the Emperor's tutor, teach a good student if you're so servile?"

Everyone looked at Xiao Yunxi as if they had seen a ghost. How could she be so fierce? She even dared to scold the Imperial Master?

Something is going to happen.
