[Red Mansion] The occupation of Huangsang!

Li Wei and Ma Ma held the incomplete version of the recipe for firing glass and retreated with embarrassment.Although what Huang Sang explained is a bit pitiful—there are too many uncertainties, but as a good subordinate, one must have the spirit of self-sacrifice, do everything possible to perfect Huang Sang Gao (not) big (reliable) (spectrum) requirements.Isn't it just secretly calling a group of craftsmen to study the business of making money? He Li Wei/Ma Li doesn't believe it. He can't make the glass required by Huang Sang day and night for profit.

Rolling up their sleeves, Li Wei and Mali, who were full of enthusiasm, took away from the Ministry of Industry several ambassadors and deputy envoys of the Miscellaneous Bureau who were in charge of Miscellaneous Zai Zao (the official residence is Zhengjiupin, Congjiupin, Weimo Xiaoshi), and then reported to Mingshui Lan, circled a royal village surrounded by forest farms as a glass refining base, and then specially selected a guard from Jinyi Mingwei who was good at guards, strong in martial arts, and dressed in bullfighting suits to guard the surrounding area of ​​Huangzhuang to ensure that the entire refining The experimental refining of glass was carried out only when the manufacturing bases were completely surrounded.

It should be said that the wisdom of the broad masses of the people is infinite. When Li Wei and Mali just talked about the purpose of the craftsmen who had not entered official positions, an old craftsman with decades of experience in firing porcelain opened his mouth. Said.

"My lord Li, my lord Ma, the glass that the emperor wants must be a kind of glazed glass."

Li Wei frowned, and after looking at Ma Li, he faltered. "probably."

"The kiln for firing glass was built according to the kiln for firing colored glaze."

"Old man, you understand, just do as you say..."

This old craftsman obviously knew how to make colored glaze. After getting the consent of the senior official in charge, the old craftsman vigorously built a kiln for refining colored glaze. made.The incomplete glass formula given by Shui Lan is quartz sand. In order to find out the missing formula, the old craftsman could only lead the craftsmen to test and fire it over and over again. Later, a young craftsman accidentally made A piece of soda ash fell into the fired quartz sand to obtain pieces of transparent, irregular glass.

Compared with the preciousness of glass refining materials, quartz sand and soda ash for glass refining are very common, not to mention that they can be found everywhere.Soon, with the support of Shui Lan’s internal treasury, various types and types of glass products began to be produced on a large scale. By chance, Shui Lan’s memory finally came online, and hurriedly asked the craftsmen to plate mercury on one side of the glass After that, mirrors of various shapes and sizes were made, and a number was registered in the Ministry of Accounts, and a trading company called the Royal Chamber of Commerce was established.

At the beginning of the establishment of the trading company, Shui Lan sneaked out Xiao Ba, who was fond of merchants, and Shuiti, the king of Yongjun, to take charge of the matter of making money for the treasury.This Yongjun Wang Shuizhen is a talented person. He took over the Royal Chamber of Commerce in just a few months, and the huge profits he made from the various glass products and various exquisite and clearly visible mirrors circulated in his hands have doubled the treasury's silver deposits. This time, it not only enriched the treasury, but also enriched the personal pockets of Shui Lan and her half-brothers.

Because the fifth child likes to win by chance, Shui Li, who has all the previous suspicions, tried her best to reject all opinions, and gave a large sum of money to the fifth child, letting him take the job of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and let him Go to toss the Ministry of Industry.In this way, the Dayong Dynasty flourished under the hands of Shui Lan and a group of half-brothers. In the blink of an eye, a year later, there was no such thing as a state treasury with only a few million silver.

Going to the country, you say that the treasury can only do something with 80 taels of silver, if you can’t provide disaster relief, even if you want to roll up your sleeves and fight with the nomads in the north who often harass the border, fuck it There is not even enough fodder for the horses, what kind of war do you fight, let alone the issue of soldiers' pensions after the war.

With money, some plans that were stranded due to lack of money can also be carried out smoothly.Wang Ziteng smiled and gave a large sum of money to train new recruits. Jia Jing will also urge the staff of the Ministry of Industry to study how to apply firecrackers to the military...

At the end of the second year of Baotai, Wang Ziteng, who had trained the new army to a large scale, handed over the new army to the commander of Jinyi Mingwei and Li Wei who was specially given to wear a python robe. The purpose is to check the frontier, and the capital of the nine provinces will be inspected.

This year, with the help of the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital, Ma Yao, who was addicted to drugs, regained her sanity and left the temporary Yuqing Palace with Shui Zhai, and returned to Prince Bao's Mansion to live a life of husband and wife respecting each other. The love that could not withstand a little storm has dissipated, but through Wu Tingfang's secret admonition, Ma Yao, who knew where she made a mistake, completely changed her image and became a philanthropic person like a bodhisattva.

Ma Yao's change made her reputation better, even Empress Chunhui's opinion of her changed greatly.Although he still treats her lightly and not affectionately, Ma Yao still retains the decency that should be given to her.As for Shui Zhai, although he is a tiger, he still respects Ma Yao very much, especially after a side princess gave birth to his eldest son, Shui Zhai immediately adopted the child to Ma Yao's side, and Ma Yao raised the child , even changed the child's jade plate, and recorded the child under Ma Yao's name, so why is Ma Yao injustice......

During the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, Gui Yi, who was nine months pregnant, successfully gave birth to Shui Lan's second daughter.Because the little princess is really round and tender, Shui Lan, who prefers her daughter to her son, is continuing the tradition of the old Shui family, choosing a name for her daughter with the word "Shui Hou" next to it, and with a big wave of her hand, Jia Qiangwei The identity of Zhaoyi, who has been promoted from the fourth-rank Guiyi to the third-rank Zhaoyi, is eligible to raise the heirs born.

For this, Jia Qiangwei was very excited and thanked Shengen.You know, Shui Lan is the most stingy about the position in the harem. Generally, if it is not related to the former dynasty, Shui Lan will not easily give the women in the harem a position. How could Jia Qiangwei not be satisfied with the status of Noble Yi at the fourth rank and Zhaoyi at the third rank? If she made persistent efforts to give birth to a son, she might become a concubine of the second rank and a concubine of the second rank. .

It has to be said that Jia Qiangwei is a very intelligent woman. She knows very well that the reason why she was favored and conceived after Empress Wu Tingfang was only because she was married to Jia Shishi, the old lady of Duke Rong. The character of being low-key, cowardly, and not fond of competing with others has been developed through grinding.And as the concubine daughter of the deceased Duke of Rongguo, he would be invincible if he could achieve the position of imperial concubine, and the premise of all this is that he did not give birth to a son. One of the four imperial concubines.

Jia Qiangwei could think clearly and see clearly, so after giving birth to Shui Lan's second daughter and becoming Zhaoyi, Jia Qiangwei after confinement was still the same as in the past, bringing her daughter to Gui Wei every three days. Greetings from Wu Tingfang after a country.

After years of getting along, Wu Tingfang has long regarded Jia Qiangwei as a half-sister, and she still has some precautions, but compared to other concubines in the harem with face and affection, Wu Tingfang still takes care of Jia Qiangwei.

In the second year of Baotai, apart from Jia Qiangwei who gave birth to a daughter, Princess Shuijuan Dazhang, who had been married for many years, finally became pregnant smoothly, and gave birth to a pair of twins on the first day of the third year of Baotai.As soon as Shui Lan heard it, he was out of bad taste, and immediately gave the name to his elder brother, Jia Hu, and his sister, Jia Yuanchun.This can be regarded as grabbing the name of Jia Yuanchun, who was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year in the original book of the Red Chamber, and was born on the same day as the deceased Rongguo Gong Jia Daishan.

Compared with Jia Yuanchun in the original book of the Red Chamber, Jia Yuanchun, whose biological father is the current Rong Guogong and the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Jia She, and whose biological mother is the eldest princess of Changle, does not know where his dignity is.Although Jia Yuanchun in the original book of the Red Chamber bears the name of the eldest granddaughter of Rong Guogong, she is actually the first daughter of the family of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Fifth Grade Industry. Yuanchun, the difference is too far.At least as the eldest daughter of Jia Amnesty and the eldest princess, Jia Yuanchun, who is titled Princess Ronghua, does not have to go to the palace to fight for the future of the whole family. She will only wear all the glory and marry a well-matched family member, a good husband. Godson, live happily ever after.

The days passed day by day. Compared with the first year and the second year of Baotai, which were full of disasters, the third year of Baotai was relatively smooth.Ah, by the way, I forgot to mention one thing, that is, because the state treasury (the emperor's private treasury) has a lot of money, Shui Lan's family has a lively New Year's Eve The Supreme Emperor sent a few 10 taels, and the Supreme Emperor was tossing about indiscriminately.

In February of the third year of Baotai, when the taste of the New Year faded, under the vague reminder of Empress Wu Tingfang, Shui Lan, who remembered that she still had two unmarried half-sisters, waved her big hand, and with a lower Shui Juan According to the standard, the two princesses who had already been married were given the titles Changhua and Changxi, and they were married on March 21.

The second princess, Shui Jing, married into Li Guogong Liu's family. Her husband is the eldest grandson of Li Guogong Liu's family, Liu Fang, the hereditary first-class viscount.As for the mild-mannered third princess, Shui Wei, she is married to Dingguohou Xie's family, who is also regarded as Shuilan's confidant. Her husband is the eldest grandson of Dingguohou. Now Li Wei's subordinates are the commander of Jinyi Mingwei and the hereditary second-class baron. Thanks whale.

Compared to Princess Shuihua (Changxi) who has a gentle personality like water, Princess Shuijing (Changhua) has a more paranoid and stronger personality. )’s Liu Fang, Shui Jing is very contemptible, but He Nai married her husband, even as a princess, she was taught three obediences and four virtues since she was a child, and only a husband and wife are honorable. Shui Jing can only suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart, and Liu Fang gets along very well.

But even so, Shui Jing, who has a dissatisfied heart, will still say irrelevant and sour words from time to time at the princess party. Shui Ling has a gentle personality and will not care about it, but Shui Juan is different. She is deeply loved by two generations of emperors. Beloved, Shui Juan, who has always been used to making publicity, can't bear this idleness, she will reject Shui Jing as soon as she says it, and she won't let go unless she is so angry that she can't speak.However, after going back and forth like this, Shui Jing, who can't take advantage of the slightest verbal advantage, gradually extinguished her desire to be strong, which was considered a good thing.
