After Qin Wan saw the Minister of Agriculture off, she sent a message to the manager of the glass workshop, asking him to hand over all the defective glass to the Ministry of Revenue, and also ordered someone to buy the defective glass at the lowest price.

When making colored glaze for greenhouses, it is only necessary to ensure basic lighting. Whether there are impurities and bubbles, and whether the color is good-looking are secondary. Even if the shape is irregular, the bamboo strips will change shape according to the colored glaze, so defective products are sufficient for use.

After more than a year of development, the glass industry is booming.

Not to mention the colored glaze workshops in various parts of the Great Zhou, there are dozens of them in the capital, large and small, with a very clear classification of mid-range and high-end.

Because all Qin Wan wanted were defective glass, the prices in this regard were uniform and low, regardless of whether it was a high-end workshop or a low-end workshop.

As for the large glass workshops, it was said that the Crown Princess purchased the products for farmers to use as greenhouses, and she didn't even charge them for them, giving them all away for free.

"This greenhouse won't be built until autumn. By then, we'll have more defective glass. We'll deliver it to you then, saving you the trouble of making a second trip."

The manager knew that these people came for the Crown Princess. After all, these merchants would love to have a connection with the Crown Princess. They did not ask for the Crown Princess to be their backer, but just wanted to have a little relationship with her so that no one would dare to bully them.

Promoting greenhouse cultivation to farmers is not something that can be done with just a few words. As those merchants said, greenhouse construction should start in autumn, but for farmers who want to participate in greenhouse cultivation, they have to start selecting now.

That's not even counting the subsequent construction, sales, and how many people the Ministry of Revenue will need to send over...

The Ministry of Revenue has more to consider. Once greenhouses are promoted, there will definitely be a lot of people who want to use them. Will the south need to promote them by then?

Where is the southernmost point, where is the northernmost point, etc., are all problems.

Furthermore, how long will the Ministry of Revenue support greenhouses? Will it be one or two years? Or ten or eight years? By the time others see the profits and have built greenhouses, will the Ministry of Revenue still be needed to lead?

Qin Wan only needed to move her lips to bring up this matter, but it turned out to be a very complicated and large project to be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue.

However, the Minister of Revenue and a group of officials praised this matter highly.

The Minister of Revenue praised him for the umpteenth time: "The Crown Princess has great talent and a broad mind. She is a blessing to our Great Zhou."

The Minister of Revenue disagreed: "The hen crows at dawn, I'm afraid the Crown Princess has ulterior motives."

After he finished speaking, his eyes rolled around. "Now that His Majesty is seriously ill, and the Crown Princess has been married for six months, she's still not pregnant. For the sake of our Great Zhou and the Crown Prince's heirs, isn't it time to hold a selection to fill the Eastern Palace?"

The Minister of Revenue glanced at him and said, "We are the Ministry of Revenue. This kind of thing is not our business."

The Minister of Revenue said, "The Crown Prince's heirs are of vital importance to the state of Great Zhou. The affairs of Great Zhou are our affairs."

The Minister of Revenue frowned and did not comment on what he said.

Seeing that he no longer objected, the Minister of Revenue smiled and said, "But this matter cannot be resolved by just one word from you and me. We need to consider it in detail."

The next morning, at the grand court meeting, a court official submitted a petition requesting the prince to select concubines to fill the harem.

The reason was so legitimate. First, the Crown Princess had no children.

Second, Your Majesty is seriously ill, and filling the Eastern Palace with people is to bring good luck and to provide for the succession of the Great Zhou.

The court officials almost said: If the emperor dies accidentally, even if the prince ascends the throne, the mourning period will be days instead of months. However, during these months or even a year, it will be difficult to have new people in the harem. Wouldn’t this delay the future of the Great Zhou?

Xie Qing looked at the court officials who had submitted petitions. These were the people who had sent their daughters to the Eastern Palace and had been rejected by Qin Wanwan. He almost said, "Why choose? Just let their daughters enter the Eastern Palace." The beads on the abacus were about to fall on his face.

The faces of those court officials whose daughters were married off by Qin Wan were not in a good mood. If they had not been so impatient and waited until now, their daughters would have participated in the selection and then entered the Eastern Palace. Why would they have married into a poor family?

How could Qin Zhan watch such a good family being tortured and thrown into such a mess?

He stood up and argued for his point.

Some officials also disagreed with starting the selection at this time, arguing that the money and timing were not right, but they also agreed to let the prince fill the Eastern Palace.

For a while, all kinds of things were said in the court, and the debate was extremely fierce.

Xie Qing looked at this group of people and left angrily.

Not only did the ministers attack Xie Qing in the court, but when the grand court meeting began, the memorials from the ladies who came to the palace to pay their respects were also delivered to Qin Wan.

At the front, the old princess and Princess An led the way, and behind them were the ladies dressed in court robes, looking dignified and solemn.

Mrs. Meng, the wife of the Minister of Rites, was also among them.

Qin Wan looked at this lineup and knew that what they wanted must be something big. She was already sitting upright in a dignified manner, and now she sat even taller, exuding a bit of majesty.

She looked at the old princess and Princess An and asked, "I wonder what brings you to the palace?"

Princess An and the old princess laughed and said, "It's been a while since I last saw the Crown Princess. I wanted to go into the palace to talk, so I ran into them at the palace gate and came in together."

The ladies had no way to deal with the old princess. Even though they were the ones who invited her, she said it was a chance encounter, so it could only be a chance encounter.

But who will speak first?

Several people looked at each other. Finally, Madam Sun, the wife of Lord Sun, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward and said, "We are here to consider the future of the Great Zhou. We hope that the Crown Princess will forgive us for speaking frankly."

Madam Sun bowed, then stood up straight and spoke righteously, "The Crown Princess has been married for six months and still hasn't conceived. All the women sent to the Eastern Palace were sent out by the Crown Princess to marry. Crown Princess, this is jealousy. As the mistress of the main house, you should consider the family's offspring and should not be jealous. Your behavior is truly inappropriate."

"That's the first. Secondly, there are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and having no heir is the worst. And now that His Majesty is seriously ill, I hope the Crown Princess will prioritize state affairs and select concubines for His Royal Highness to fill the harem and produce offspring."

Qin Wan lowered her eyes to hide her surprise. These people entered the palace just for this matter?

She smiled lightly, then raised her eyes, her eyes full of calmness: "Okay."

good?

Madam Sun was stunned on the spot. She had a long speech in her heart but she still hadn't finished speaking when the Crown Princess actually answered?

Seeing that she was silent, Qin Wan asked with a smile in her eyes, "Madam Sun, is there anything else?"

"No, no, as long as the Crown Princess is willing to select a concubine for the Crown Prince, that's all." Madam Sun came to her senses, waved her hands repeatedly, and retreated.

Qin Wan looked at the others and asked, "What about you? You're coming to the palace in such a grand manner. There must be something important going on, right?"

The important thing, of course, is to persuade you to agree to the draft!

But now that the Crown Princess had agreed so readily, they had no place to put their prepared words into practice, and they inexplicably felt a little disappointed.
