Chapter 388: Glass is officially released, Xiao Ying is promoted to the first-class lady

In the following time, Xiao Ying practiced even harder.

During this period, apart from arranging a group of disciples who had entered the fourth level of Qi Refining to go out for training, they only went out once to inspect the finished glass products.

After continuous improvements by Wang Da Chong and others, the glass that Xiao Ying wanted was finally fully produced.

The glass produced this time was bright and clear, very similar to that of later generations, and almost free of impurities.

Mingzhu was so excited that he almost laughed out loud. He never expected that real glass would be like this.

More exquisite than anything he had ever seen!

Compared with it, Liuli seems to be much inferior.

He was sure that once the glass was promoted and sold, it would be loved by countless dignitaries!

"Madam, the glass is so exquisite. We must price it higher. I think it can be twice as expensive as colored glaze."

He was already fantasizing about the money rolling in.

The glass workshop will definitely become Madam's most profitable workshop.

Xiao Ying said, "The price can be a little higher. It's up to you to decide."

"Yes, ma'am."

Mingzhu was shocked. Since his lady trusted him so much, he must do his best.

Xiao Ying added, "But there are too few styles right now. You need to research a few more."

"Not to mention installing windows, bowls, plates, cups, etc., you can also make hairpins, bracelets, necklaces and other items."

"Of course, it would be even better if it could be made into an exquisite handicraft. It would be beautiful whether displayed or hung."

Mingzhu nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "To be honest, Madam, we have all these plans, but the styles are still relatively simple."

"We will definitely make more and better-looking designs in the future, and strive to make it a hit in the city on the opening day!"

Xiao Ying smiled approvingly: "It's good that you have such confidence."

"Your contribution this time is great. Each of you will be rewarded with ten to fifty taels of silver according to your contribution."

"Five, fifty taels?"

Mingzhu was shocked at the time and thought he was dreaming.

Last time, the lady rewarded them with several taels of silver, which made everyone so happy that they couldn't sleep.

This time the lowest price is ten taels and the highest is fifty taels!

I'm afraid everyone will be so excited that they won't be able to sleep for several days and nights.

"Too much?" Xiao Ying laughed.

"It's too much. Madam, you don't have to do this. These are what we should do."

Although Mingzhu was very tempted, he still felt it was a bit hot.

That was fifty taels of silver, almost his annual salary.

They had only made the glass according to the lady's request, and they always felt that they were not worthy of such a reward.

Xiao Ying was helpless, as there were actually people who thought the money was too much.

"In that case, keep working hard and don't let my money go to waste."

Mingzhu immediately became serious and made a promise.

"Please rest assured, Madam. We will do our best to make better glass!"

Xiao Ying nodded: "Well, now that the glass has been manufactured, mirrors, telescopes and other items should also be put on the agenda."

"The other thing is the opening of a business. This time we are going to open it in Xizhou Prefecture City, where there are many wealthy people."

"Yes, ma'am." Mingzhu was full of motivation and energy.

He suddenly asked again: "What about Shangjing? There are the most wealthy people there."

Xiao Ying smiled meaningfully: "Shangjing, I will open a shop there soon."

Once she reaches the seventh level of Qi Refining, the day of her departure for the capital will not be far away.

What she didn't expect was that this plan actually overlapped with that of Duke Ningguo and others.

Even the emperor had a sudden idea and wanted her to go to Shangjing to receive the title.

A few days later, Ning Yuanze's memorial requesting credit for her resettlement of refugees was finally delivered to Prime Minister Ning.

Prime Minister Ning was both surprised and delighted. The next day, he submitted a memorial to the emperor, requesting him to reward Xiao Ying.

"Xiao Renren unexpectedly brought me such a big surprise again."

The emperor praised Xiao Ying without reservation and did not hide his admiration for her.

In fact, he had known about Xiao Ying's move for a long time. After all, the last time Eunuch Wang went to confer the award, it happened that Yingfeng Town was established.

Naturally, he also knew about her resettlement of refugees.

He praised Xiao Ying at that time. Although he was a cultivator with unfathomable strength, he cared so much about the people, which was really rare.

Not only that, Eunuch Wang also told him everything about Yu Qianli and Xiao Ying, almost misleading him.

Later I found out that Qianli wanted to ask Xiao Ying for help and buy a storage bag.

I heard that the missing silver and money were delivered personally by the ancestor.

He was filled with emotion. Xiao Ying's relationship with the Yu family seemed to be getting closer and closer, which was definitely a good thing.

Therefore, he also had to work hard to elevate Xiao Ying's status, otherwise what would happen if she was really snatched away by Jingguo?

The fifth-rank imperial edict was indeed too low, and it was totally unworthy of Xiao Ying's status and contributions.

Therefore, he decided to show more sincerity this time!

"Although Xiao Renren holds no official position, he is able to care about the country and the people. He is truly a role model for our Yue Nation."

Prime Minister Ning agreed with a smile, secretly thinking that he had to promote Xiao Ying to the third rank this time, otherwise he would be unworthy of his niece's efforts.

"He single-handedly resettled over 5,000 refugees. This is truly something I have never witnessed in my life."

"Your Majesty, if you don't reward such a meritorious service, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the people of the world."

The emperor looked at him approvingly. This old guy really did not miss any opportunity to praise Xiao Ying.

But it is also because of this that every promotion is so smooth.

"It is indeed a great achievement. In your opinion, how should I reward Xiao Renren?"

Prime Minister Ning smiled even more kindly, and was once again certain that the emperor's attitude towards Xiao Ying was unusual.

His mind suddenly changed, and he elevated the words he was about to say to a higher level.

"Xiao Renren has done many things that benefit the country and the people. I think we can set him as an example."

"Why not take this opportunity to directly promote her to the rank of First Rank State Lady!"

"This will not only let the world know about her contributions, but also demonstrate the emperor's love for talent and inspire more people to follow his example."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.

Even Ning Yuanfeng showed a little surprise.

Did Dad take a step too big this time?

A First-Rank Imperial Madam? Even in the Ning family, only his mother, the Prime Minister's wife, had this honor.

My cousin has made many contributions, but she still seems a little short of this level, right?

On second thought, he understood what his father meant.

It is necessary to first propose an impossible level to raise the threshold of everyone, so that the real purpose can be achieved later.

According to what he thought, his cousin would definitely become a third-rank lady this time, which was already a very high rank.

Sure enough, as soon as Prime Minister Ning finished speaking, he was besieged and opposed by countless people.

The court soon became noisy, but Prime Minister Ning was able to hold his own in the debate with everyone and was not at all at a disadvantage.

Ning Yuanfeng and others also joined the battlefield and competed against each other.

The emperor watched the play with great interest and glanced at Prime Minister Ning twice.

Could it be that this old guy was a worm in his stomach? He actually guessed his intention.

That’s right, this time he wants to promote Xiao Ying to the first-rank lady of the country!
