After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 509 Could It Be an Old Friend?

Second Aunt Zhang was anxious, and couldn't help reminding Zhang Songyu: "Miss, your uncle is so good to you, you should keep him for another night."

Be nice to her?

Haha, Zhang Songyu sneered in her heart. Using beauty to please men is a trick only used by lowly people. She, Zhang Songyu, is not lowly, so she does not need to use it.

Besides, do you think Xie Jing is a good person?

When the Ningkang Emperor's prince was beheaded, Xie Jing framed his biological father and caused Commander Xie to be injured and paralyzed.

Although it cannot be said to be patricide, and although there were reasons hinted by her, if Xie Jing was really a good person, he would not have taken advantage of the opportunity.

To put it bluntly, Xie Jing is not a good person. He is greedy for power and wants to be the boss.

Therefore, she has already seen through Xie Jing's true nature. How can she still treat Xie Jing sincerely?

However, Zhang Songyu showed a little grievance on her face, and said helplessly: "I also want to occupy my husband, but I have learned since I was a child how to help my husband's family... Now is a difficult time, I have to think more about the descendants of the Xie family."

Not only Xie Jing who would soon hear these words, but even the servants from the Xie family in the room all showed respect to Zhang Songyu.

Nanny Zhang Er had nothing to say and could only sigh in her heart: The young girl is just too virtuous.

Zhang Songyu sat down, picked up the book, and asked while looking at the account: "Xiaoshuang, what is the progress of Xin Liuli?"

If she wanted to achieve great things, she had to create some new industries to make money, so she ordered her subordinates to set up a new glass workshop to make new glass.

He also asked the half-slaves of the Zhang and Xie families in Lingnan Province to look for sugarcane and then grow it on a large scale to make sugar.

With the two industries of sugar and glass, her wealth will increase dramatically. Adding to the original wealth of the Zhang and Xie families, the chances of her success will increase by 20%!

After her soul traveled through time, the maid she personally selected said, "Madam, six batches of new colored glass have been fired, but these six batches of new colored glass are a little different from what you said. They are on the way and will be delivered in half a month at most."

Zhang Songyu nodded: "Well, it's well done. Tell the people in the Liuli Workshop not to be afraid of failure. The more you fail, the more you should try. Only with more failures can you make transparent new Liuli."

"Yes." The head maid replied and went down to take care of Zhang Songyu's "business empire".

Zhang Songyu looked at another maid, Xie Lu, and asked, "Did Sister Lin practice martial arts today?"

Xie Lu replied: "Madam, the young lady practiced martial arts today, but she was still crying and didn't seem to be willing to learn."

Zhang Songyu was displeased when he heard this: "Even if she cries, she must learn. She must learn horse riding and archery well. This is a skill for self-protection. She must not slack off!"

Xie Lu: “Yes.”

Aunt Zhang Er felt sorry for the young lady and advised her, "Young lady, you are a girl, you need to have a graceful figure, but don't train too much."

Keep a prostitute? Why do you care about a beautiful figure?

"Mammy, learning martial arts is to help Sister Lin develop a strong character. The higher the status of a noble lady, the more she must have a strong character. Otherwise, if she is weak, won't anyone be able to bully her?"

In order to prevent Second Nanny Zhang from annoying her, Zhang Songyu added, "I know what I am doing. I will definitely raise a perfect lady for the Xie family."

"Yes." Nanny Zhang Er could only stop talking temporarily and say no more.

……

Eight days later, on the first day of May, the Ministry of Revenue issued a new decree, one of which was particularly eye-catching.

From now on, the court will select merchants from major prefectures to manage the sale of new dyes for the court, and the profits will be split 50-50.

Merchants who have the ability and a clean record can go to local government offices to register.

The government offices must register and report the files of applicants truthfully. Any clerk or official who dares to deliberately fail to report will be beheaded!

Clerks and officials who fail to report due to mistakes shall be punished with death for intentional non-reporting!

When the news came out, officials and citizens in the capital were in an uproar.

The merchants shouted, "Your Majesty is wise! Our company agrees to the conditions. We will go back and call the managers to discuss the matter. We will sign up as early as tomorrow!"

Ordinary people were also very happy: "I heard that in the Northeast Province, it only costs a little over one or two taels of silver to make a wedding dress, which is more than ten times cheaper than here. It's all because of the new dye. If we can also sell the new dye here in the capital, we won't have to spend a huge amount of money to buy wedding clothes when we get married!"

In Gyeonggi Province, people are most concerned about the person they are in. Therefore, even if red cloth is expensive, ordinary families still have to grit their teeth and buy the groom's suit and the red wedding dress when they get married. If your family cannot afford it, others will think that your family is not good enough and will quickly distance themselves from you.

Without your connections, it will be difficult for your family to make a living in the capital.

The wealthy and powerful families, especially those engaged in traditional mineral dyeing, were furious and wanted to immediately send assassins to wipe out the Qin family, who were engaged in the new dye business!

……

Bang!

With a loud bang, Yong Zhi smashed another priceless white beeswax bracelet.

Seeing this, the servants in the room knelt on the ground one after another, not daring to make a sound, for fear of angering the prince and getting punished.

Yong Zhi wore a robe embroidered with the Pure and Tranquil Sutra, but his heart was in turmoil and he couldn't calm down at all... He was wondering why there was no follow-up on the matter of the Chen family's prescription, it turned out that the Qin family got there first!

You Qin family, a mere lowly peasant, have climbed to the imperial desk of Emperor Wuxing.

And Emperor Wuxing was so shameless. As an emperor, he actually took over the secret recipe of the new dye and ran it on a large scale. Was he so short of money?

After a while, Yong Zhi stretched out his hand.

The servant hurriedly brought a string of sandalwood beads and placed it in Yong Zhi's hand.

Yong Zhi closed his eyes and kept fiddling with the rosary beads, from fast to slow. It took him a full half a quarter of an hour before he opened his eyes.

The servant dared to ask at this time: "My Lord, can you send someone to give that family to..."

Everyone knows what has not been said.

But Yong Zhi sneered: "A few ants, even if they make a little noise, are not worth my attention."

There are so many people here, and one day or another, the Qin family’s ants might be trampled to death by the footprints!

"Pass the order and tell the Chen family not to run for election. His family is considered useless and needs to retire for a few years."

“Send the Su family to run for election.”

"Let our subordinates give half of the profits to Huang's and Xue's businesses, and befriend these two businesses... If someone embarrasses Zheng Nandan in public, our people must protect him."

"Yes." The servant wrote down everything, hesitated for a moment, and ventured to ask, "My Lord, do you want to trip up that family? Make that family walk slower?"

Yong Zhi wanted to smash the bracelet again, but he managed to hold it back and said, "No need. Let them continue walking... It would be better if they could walk to the capital, that would be more interesting."

After saying this, Yong Zhi smiled as if he was watching his prey slowly falling into a trap, with curiosity, contempt, and bloodthirstiness.

"Yes." The servant understood Yong Zhi's intention and took his leave to make the arrangements.

……

At the Xie Marquis Mansion, Zhang Songyu was also shocked by the new dye and hurriedly said, "Tell us in detail about the Qin family's new dye."

"Yes." Nanny Zhang, who was in charge of the news, told the story of the Qin family.

The Qin family was a wealthy peasant family in Da'an County, Zhongyuan Prefecture. The old man had served as a soldier and had once been promoted to the rank of centurion, but was suddenly demobilized and returned to the countryside.

He had a second son who was very promising, but unfortunately he was framed and thrown into jail several times. His right hand was even disabled, so he was completely ruined.

"This new dye was developed by a girl from the Qin family. She is only thirteen years old this year. Her name is Qin Xiaomi..."
