Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

Among a dozen people, if there is one voice of opposition, there will be a second and a third voice of opposition.

"I thought you were doing this for the people, but I didn't expect you were doing this to accuse a woman who has worked for the country and the people! You are disgracing the civilized world!!"

"The world is in decline, and morality is on the decline!"

"I'm leaving too."

"People with different ideals cannot work together. You elders should take care of yourselves. Brother Wu, wait for me!"

"Those who worry about the people are instead schemed against by all sides. This is the character of a scholar!"

"The previous emperor was vulgar, the new emperor is vulgar, why don't you dare to curse!!! What, women are easy to bully, right? If you dare to curse the new emperor in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, I will stop writing from now on!"

"Old man, what should we do?"

The person who said this was a young man who had been helping the old man pour wine.

"Just leave if you want to. There are plenty of people who want to get promoted these days!"

The old man shrugged.

"Yes."

The young man responded in a low voice with his eyes downcast, his face that could not be seen showing contempt and anger.

As a child from a poor family, after finally passing the exam, the first thing he did was to curry favor with someone powerful and rely on him.

Otherwise, you will sit on the bench until you die.

He had already realized this.

But when he first hugged this thigh, he didn't know it was so dirty.

Now he can hardly hold it any longer.

A group of grown men couldn't do anything to the emperor, so they were going to attack a woman who had always been doing good things?

Not to mention anything else, just the sweet potatoes cultivated in the botanical garden last year, the number of famine reports this year has decreased by more than half.

As far as he knew, the people in this botanical garden were brought to the capital by the eldest prince's wife when Emperor Jianwen committed atrocities.

In King Zhou's entire botanical garden, not even a single seedling was left behind, and everything was well preserved.

Prince Ning also brought back a large number of plants and seeds from overseas at the request of the eldest prince's wife.

A caravan that is only looking to make money would never bring these time-consuming, laborious and unprofitable things.

If a man did these things, he would probably exaggerate them to the sky.

Just the matter of sweet potatoes is enough to make anyone who deals with it famous for eternity.

But it was a woman, the Crown Prince's wife, who took care of it.

Instead, he was accused of the false crime of being close to his brother-in-law and being close to a man outside his family.

This is true for a woman who does practical things, and it is also true for another royal member who does practical things.

After King Zhou was brought back from exile, he immediately went to the Botanical Garden in the capital.

In the past two years, I worked day and night to produce not only sweet potatoes, a high-yield crop, but also two books.

A book called "Herbal Medicine for Famine Relief" that records all wild and non-wild edible plants.

A book called "Puji Fang" which records a large number of prescriptions.

Both of these books were printed by the imperial court and placed in bookstores for anyone to copy.

However, there was also a censor who, without knowing the news he had obtained from the stinking ditch, reported that King Zhou had left the capital without permission and had evil intentions.

The King of Zhou was just climbing over a few mountains and got lost while looking for wild plants in the mountains.

He looked down on these people, but he had to associate with them.

Well, it's time to think about what to do next.

Otherwise, you will be disgusted to death sooner or later.

"Mom, is it lighted or not? Is it lighted or not?!"

The tone of Zhang Xin's voice was like that of a puppy wagging its tail.

Woof woof woof, woof woof woof—

Xu was so amused that she reached out and scratched Zhang Xin's chin:

"Good boy, Liang!!!"

"In two days, we will install the other side. This is different. The old craftsman said that double-layer hollow glass is not only bright, but also warm! It is better than single-layer glass."

Zhang Xin was overjoyed.

"How much is it? One hundred thousand taels for the entire Jinshen Palace?"

Xu stretched out her hand, letting the sunlight outside shine directly onto her hand through the glass. She admired it for a long time before asking.

"Only our royal family can make this. We are unlucky. If we are not careful, it will be damaged. It will cost at least 100,000 taels. We can discuss it after they become more experienced. The new name of this glass is Qilin."

Zhang Xin turned to the window and looked inside. The light was really almost the same as outside.

From now on, my parents-in-law will no longer need to hold a lamp when they write or read in the house.

If you have good eyes, everything will be good.

"Not yet cooked?"

Xu didn't know anything about glass, so he just asked casually.

"Not yet. Once the glass is made, it must be free of bubbles and crystal clear to be considered top quality. If it's not the case, the whole thing will be ruined. They have just tested out the formula, so they still need to practice the craftsmanship."

Zhang Xin replied.

Sometimes, many things happen unintentionally.

Last year, this glass craftsman made glass flower jewelry, which helped the Royal Treasure Shop earn its first pot of gold. Even though imitations came out later and sold cheaper than the Treasure Shop, they attracted some customers. But the Royal is the Royal Family after all, and there is no need to pursue quantity. The craftsman's products are even more spiritual.

So they sold less than before and raised the price, and the total profit was greater than before when they sold more.

Princess Anqing tasted the sweetness and decided to only make high-end products.

In the eyes of glass craftsmen, blowing glass is not difficult, and making glass into special shapes is not difficult either. The most difficult thing is to make large flat pieces of glass.

Therefore, after Princess Anqing consulted with Xu, she decided to take this as the first point to be conquered.

A reward was posted outside the Treasure House.

Anyone who can make it will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver.

This thing was considered a gimmick at the time, and Princess Baoqing had not thought about what this large flat piece of glass could be used for. She just wanted to overcome the problem and demonstrate the royal heritage.

The clearly marked price of five hundred taels is much more tempting to a craftsman than any honorary title that is not worth eating or using.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

Half a year ago, the glass craftsman brought back from overseas by King Ning was the first to develop a method of making large pieces of glass. Personally, he can also blow double-layer hollow glass of a higher level.

But the color of this glass cannot be made completely transparent.

More or less with a little bit of mixed color.

People in the glass workshop brainstormed and continuously improved the formula.

Soon, pure clear glass became the success, along with a range of quite beautiful coloured glass.

Among them, there was a colored glass that was a mixture of royal blue and gold. After it was fired, it was placed in a prominent place in the Treasure House, astonishing everyone in the capital.

When Zhang Xin was visiting, she suddenly remembered that she had seen such glass windows somewhere in her previous life.

One said.

Princess Anqing jumped up.

If an ornamental item has a practical use, it means a lot of money.

Also, things like windows.

Every household has one, and quite a few of them. The richer the house, the more windows it has.

The richer a family is, the more they like to compare with others.

[Small science: During the Warring States Period, glass was called "Qinlin", which means like beautiful jade. During the Western Han Dynasty, the term "Liuli" appeared. In the Jin Dynasty, it was called "yaoyu"; in the Yuan Dynasty, it was called "guanyu"; in the early Ming Dynasty, it was called "jar jade". ]
