General Ye was furious. "What do you mean? Who are you humiliating? Me? Or the prince?"

It was like a basin of cold water poured over his head, and Lord Jin came to his senses a little more. He realized that he had committed a big taboo in his anger.

Saying in front of the Prince of Jin that your woman is having an affair with someone else, isn't that asking for trouble?

Sure enough, the Prince of Jin looked extremely ugly.

General Ye bowed to him and said, "Prince, you know it best. Concubine Mu and I have always been innocent and have never had any affair."

Mu Jinyao usually takes special care to avoid suspicion. He only walks around in the backyard and never shows up in public.

Even if the Prince of Jin wanted to take her out, she wrapped herself tightly and wore a thick veil.

The Prince of Jin forced a smile and said, "I know I believe you."

Could he still say that he wanted Mu Jinyao to accompany the guest? This guest was General Ye.

General Ye was a good fighter, but a bit indulgent when it came to women. He was fascinated by the masked Mu Jinyao he accidentally saw on the street.

This is also one of the reasons why the Prince of Jin was able to recruit him.

But how to say it? He felt uncomfortable, even if Mu Jinyao found an excuse to avoid it.

He is so contradictory, saying one thing and doing another, being both a leader and a role model. He also blames others for not respecting themselves enough.

Now it was Lord Jin's turn to look unhappy. He couldn't help but think more. Did he mean he didn't believe him? Did he doubt his loyalty? Or did he blame him for not completing the task?

He wouldn't have thought too much about it before, but Mu Wanqing's words took effect. Seeing that the Prince of Jin had no filter, he had more thoughts.

Once there is a rift, many things will go wrong.

The Prince of Jin suffered a series of blows and called a meeting overnight to discuss what to do next.

Continue fighting with Xiliang, the chances of losing are relatively high.

If he doesn't fight, he will lose face and the other kings will take the opportunity to step on him.

"I suggest taking advantage of the chaos to seize the Prince of Wei's Mansion. We have already made plans. At this critical juncture, no one would have thought that we would attack the Prince of Wei's Mansion. This is the best time."

"I think it's feasible."

"I agree."

Okay, everyone agreed.

Not long after, the King of Wei was assassinated. His eight sons formed an alliance and began fighting among themselves. It was a life-and-death fight that left two of them disabled and three dead.

The Prince of Wei's Palace was in great internal strife and was like a pile of loose sand. At this time, the Prince of Jin led his men to launch surprise attacks in several directions and after a fierce battle, they captured the Prince of Wei's Palace.

The first thing he did was to kill all the descendants of the King of Wei, leaving no one alive.

The power of the Prince of Wei's Palace was uprooted, and all its fiefdoms were incorporated into the Prince of Jin's Palace.

From then on, the Prince of Jin's Mansion became the largest vassal state, with the greatest power and the most land, and it competed with the imperial court.

Not long after, Prince Jin claimed to be ill and, following the emperor's example, abdicated the throne to the crown prince.

Everyone's eyes were on the new King of Jin, a ruthless character, and many speculated that he was one of the most likely candidates to become the new monarch.

No one paid attention to Xiliang, so Xiliang operated and developed quietly.

Mu Wanqing reduced labor service and taxes, developed commerce, vigorously promoted industry, and focused on developing agriculture.

She planted cotton in every corner of Xiliang, sent experienced villagers to provide technical guidance, divided the area into groups, with two people in charge of one area, and taught the people.

The people were very enthusiastic and responded positively, buying cotton seeds from the government for planting.

The government did not distribute seeds, but sold them at a low price. There is no other way, free things are not valued.

She set up an experimental field on her own farm and planted half of the various seeds brought by Hu Shang.

If it doesn’t work this time, there will be another chance next time.

I don’t know what these seeds are, it’s like opening a blind box, I’m quite looking forward to it.

As for corn, she found an experienced farmer to teach her how to plant it. She repeatedly reminded everyone that these seeds were very important and everyone dared not slack off.

Although she is very busy every day, she takes one day a week to visit Shuimu Farm to check on the situation.

Mr. Mu accompanied his daughter around the farm. Every time he went, he would first go to the boarding school to see how the children lived and studied, then take a look around the workshop, and finally change into coarse clothes and go to the fields.

This year it is still the same, half planted with wheat and half planted with cotton, which ensures both food supply and economic growth.

"The seedlings have emerged, the seedlings have emerged." Someone in the experimental field cheered and everyone ran over.

Mu Wanqing and her daughter also walked over with great anticipation.

Master Mu squatted down to take a closer look, "What is this?"

Mu Wanqing looked at the small green seedlings, looked left and right, and finally gave up. "I don't know, has the germination rate reached half?"

The old farmer in charge of this area smiled and said, "Yes, yes."

The boss said that as long as we can grow new varieties, there will be generous rewards, so everyone works very hard.

Mu Wanqing gave a few words of encouragement and ran to the side to look at the corn, which was ready for transplanting.

"County Master, the research institute wants you to come over. They said the glass was successfully made."

Mu Wanqing stood up suddenly, her eyes sparkling, "Dad, let's go over there."

Mr. Mu was quite curious. He had been fiddling with the glass for a long time but had made no progress. He kept trying over and over again. What kind of treasure was it that his daughter valued so much?

The research institute has three levels of checkpoints, and each level is guarded by different people.

When Mu Wanqing walked in, she heard the technician's voice, "County Master, come and take a look."

Several pieces of bright and transparent glass are lined up in a row, causing a strong visual impact.

Mu Wanqing took a look and asked, "Has it been tested for impact resistance?"

Usually it gets stuck at this level.

The technician nodded vigorously, "It passed, no problem."

Logically speaking, since Mu Wanqing gave the specific formula, the technical staff should be able to develop it quickly.

However, working with glass requires technical skills, and every step requires repeated experiments.

It took us more than half a year to go from being unfamiliar with the process to gradually mastering each step of the process.

They were stuck at the last hurdle and the impact resistance did not meet the standards.

This really stumped everyone, and we had to adjust the proportions repeatedly to find the most suitable one.

Although Mr. Mu is the general manager of the farm, he never comes to the research institute.

One is that I don’t understand, and the other is to avoid suspicion.

No matter what, this is Mu Wanqing's farm, and the research institute is the most secret place, which is personally supervised by Mu Wanqing.

At this moment, his eyes widened, "Is this glass?" It looks like colored glaze, but it is cleaner than colored glaze.

Colored glass must be very expensive. This large piece of glass must not be cheap either.

Mu Wanqing was filled with joy. "Yes, it's beautiful, isn't it? I plan to replace all the windows in the place where I live with glass windows, and build a glass greenhouse on the farm."

She asked the technicians to test the heat resistance, wind resistance, moisture resistance and other aspects, with the focus on impact resistance. After confirming that there were no problems, she smiled happily.

Grab the money! Grab the money! Rich friends, tremble in fear.

"Each person will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver." She has always been generous to those who have made contributions.

The technicians cheered, this was what it meant to get rich overnight.

One thousand taels of silver can buy a nice house in Liangcheng.

Some craftsmen from the capital were originally unwilling to go back, but now they don't want to go back even if they are killed.

I just want to continue working hard for the county lady!

Once the glass windows were replaced, the entire room became bright. Mu Wanqing had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Paper-covered windows are no good. They are dark, uncomfortable, and leak drafts in the winter.

Mr. Mu touched the glass and liked it more and more the more he looked at it. Installing glass windows can prevent wind and snow from invading, and it also looks beautiful.

"Qing'er, how do you sell this? How much is the price?"

Mu Wanqing pointed to a glass window and said, "Five hundred taels. Two windows are enough for one room."

The thing is, you can’t just install one room, right?

Having gotten used to such brightness, how can I tolerate paper-pasted windows?

Glass takes the high-end route, and it targets the rich, and those who are willing will take the bait.

Five hundred? The corners of Master Mu's mouth twitched. Isn't this price a bit high?

Forget it, if my daughter says it’s okay, then it must be okay.

Mu Wanqing said that ordinary people don’t understand the world of the rich, but they will buy things no matter how expensive they are. For example, glass cups and glass lamps are priceless, but people still buy them.

Master Mu soon discovered a new problem. "However, this is too bright. People outside can see in at a glance. It has no privacy. Some people can't accept it."

"This is too easy." Mu Wanqing raised her hand, and someone immediately installed the curtains, covering the room tightly.

Master Mu was amazed and couldn't help but touch her little head, "Qing'er, how come your brain is so sharp? You come up with good ideas in a blink of an eye."

Mu Wanqing smiled sweetly, "I'm like you, extremely smart."

Even though he knew his daughter was telling lies, Mr. Mu was still happy.

The specialty and customs street has been built and has become a business card of Liangcheng and a beautiful landscape. Both locals and businessmen who come here to do business will come here for a stroll.

Here you can find Liangcheng's local specialties, southern and northern goods from all over the country, and large supermarkets. There is always one suitable for you here, attracting countless people to come and shop every day.

Various businesses gathered here, boosting the economy of the entire city.

Ordinary people like to go shopping in supermarkets because the things are cheap, there are many varieties, and it is a good way to kill time.

Rich people like to go shopping in department stores, where they will receive the most distinguished treatment and the best enjoyment, which fully satisfies their vanity.

Of course, my wallet quickly became empty, but it was painful and joyful.

Now, the department store has replaced its doors with clean and bright glass doors, and there are handsome doormen standing next to them.

The doorman, wearing a uniform, opened the glass door respectfully.

However, the guests couldn't take their eyes off the glass door, their eyes were obsessed.

This is too extravagant. They actually made such expensive colored glaze into a door and put it outside. It's simply inhumane.

"Please come in, there's a surprise inside."

The customer looked at it again and again with reluctance, wanting it so much, but unable to afford it.

He sighed helplessly and walked into the store, where his attention was attracted by a glittering glass house.

Ahhh, so beautiful, I want it.

A waiter in a cyan uniform came over and welcomed him to the front. "Dear VIP customer, please allow me to introduce you to the latest glass in our store. It can be made into glass windows and glass doors. It is both warm and windproof..."

Their slogan: squeeze every last penny out of customers’ wallets!

It’s so plain and simple.

“Is this the price tag?”

The waiter showed his standard eight teeth, "Yes, new products are on the market. In order to give back to old customers, we have specially launched a batch of glass products with better quality than colored glaze. The quantity is limited, first come first served..."

Scarcity makes things valuable. If you want to sell at a high price, you have to control the quantity.

Before he could finish, the customer shouted anxiously, "Buy, buy, buy, give me a ticket quickly."

He felt that he had gotten a great deal and was afraid that someone else would snatch it away, so he hurried to make a deposit and pay the full amount.

If you don't let him pay the full amount, he will get angry with you.

A glass cup costs thousands, but such a big piece of glass only costs 500. It's cheap, too cheap, like I got it for free.

This is the distinguished VIP treatment. Great! That’s great!

The author has something to say:

The Sucker: I am a distinguished VIP.
