Before Tong Wenyao left, she once again instructed them to plant potatoes and corn, and to plant winter melons by the end of February and Hami melons in March! Xin'er held the telescope and said, "Sister, can you add a few more lenses to it? I want to see the stars at night."

She thought for a moment and said, "Xin'er, since our current glassmaking technology is not very advanced, maybe you could wait for half a year and I'll make you a thicker telescope, okay?"

After hearing this, Xin'er nodded without any reluctance.

After Wen Jiang climbed onto the carriage, she felt like sleeping again. Tong Wenyao put a pillow on the ground for her and asked Xing'er to keep an eye on them. After entering the city, she would go to discuss things with Master Ji, which would probably take an hour or two. Tong Wenyao whispered, "If they can't wait, you can take them for a walk around. I'll meet you at the cement building after I'm done discussing things." Xing'er agreed, took the silver from the young lady, and said, "Young lady, I'll keep an eye on them."

After Tong Wenyao got off the carriage, she said, "Dongzi, watch them. I'm going in!"

Dongzi tugged at his clothes and replied, "Don't worry, Boss! I'm here!"

This wasn't her first visit to the magistrate's house. As soon as she reached the door, a servant came forward and said, "My master just left for the yamen. Why don't you wait in the hall, Miss? I'll go and tell the master."

Hearing that Master Ji was not there, Tong Wenyao said, "Then I will go to the yamen to find him. Thank you, little brother."

This thank you surprised the servant, and he quickly said, "You are too polite, Miss Tong."

As soon as Tong Wenyao went out, she saw the carriage was still there. Dongzi asked, "Boss, what happened?"

She sat on the edge of the carriage and said, "Let's go to the government office. Where is Lord Ji?"

The carriage drove down the main street and arrived at the government office. This was Tong Wenyao's second time here. The last time she came, the government office was a bit run-down, so she had gone to fight bandits with Master Ji. Now the entrance looked much better. Jiang Zhubu saw someone get off the carriage inside. He looked closely and saw that it was Tong Wenyao! How did she get here?

He turned back to the office and said, "Sir, Tong Wenyao is here!" Sir Ji rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Please invite her in."

As soon as Tong Wenyao walked in, she was greeted by Uncle Da. "Miss Tong, how come you have time to come here now?" Tong Wenyao smiled and said, "I'm here to look for Master Ji. I wonder where Master Ji is now?"

After hearing this, Uncle Da said, "Miss Tong, come with me! The adults were just nagging you to come! But people just can't stand being nagged!"

After hearing this, Tong Wen Yao raised her eyebrows and said nothing.

After walking through the hall and then the lobby, Uncle Da finally stopped and said, "The master is inside. Miss Tong can go in by herself." Tong Wenyao nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Da!"

"Hey, it's nothing! I'll go get busy then."

Tong Wenyao glanced at Uncle Da's back before heading towards the study! After knocking on the door, she heard a voice from inside and then pushed the door open and went in.

"Greetings, sir!" Ji Shikang was a little surprised to see her being so polite, and quickly said, "You've become much more polite after not seeing you for a while."

Tong Wen Yao said calmly: "After so many things, you should be more stable." Ji Shikang looked at her with disbelief. Every time she came, she always brought something with her, so he guessed that something must have happened!

But thinking about the last epidemic that was solved by her, she said, "It was thanks to you that the epidemic was solved last time. If it weren't for you, the people of Yuguan County would have suffered."

After hearing this, she curled her lips and said, "I think any doctor who has a prescription to solve the epidemic will not hide it." The last time she gave it, she told Lord Ji and did not let the people know about the prescription she gave.

Master Ji pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down. You never come here for no reason. Tell me, what's the matter this time?"

Tong Wenyao asked, "I wonder if there's any money left in the yamen's treasury?" Lord Ji glanced at Chief Clerk Jiang, and after understanding, he stepped forward and said, "Miss Tong, this is an internal matter of the yamen, so I can't disclose it."

After hearing this, she said with regret on her face: "I wanted to cooperate with you in business before, but now you have refused. Then I will start my own business!"

Master Ji remembered what she said last time about making glass, and now she mentioned doing business, so he couldn't help but become interested and asked, "Oh, what kind of business?"

Tong Wenyao took out the broken glass from the bag and said, "This business!"

When Chief Secretary Jiang saw it, there was a hint of shock in his eyes, and he said, "Is this crystal?" Lord Ji also looked curious, but did not ask.

She glanced at the expressions of the two people and said, "This is called glass." Jiang Zhubu took it from Tong Wen Yao's hand and handed it to Ji Shikang. He held it in his hand and looked at it carefully. It was transparent with a hint of green, with some small bubbles on the wall. The inner and outer walls were smooth and white as new.

He can think of making a series of glass cups, vases, etc. This business is profitable!

Thinking of this, he stopped being so reserved and said, "I wonder how Tong girl wants to cooperate?" She smiled and said, "You provide the venue, I'll provide the technology, and you sell the products. We'll split the profits 50-50!"

After hearing this, Lord Ji said, "No, 40% to 60%! The government gets 60% and you get 40%!" Last time, Tong Wen Yao only wanted 20%, but she provided the technology and asked the government to provide manpower and venue. However, this time she directly fired it in Changzhen Village, so Tong Wen Yao asked for a 50% to 50% split. She also thought about being forced to pay a lower price, so she could still accept the 40%. After all, when she came here, she thought of a 30% split!

Lord Ji continued, "This 40% is because I remember that you gave me the medicine last time and saved the people of Yuguan County and even the people of Cangzhou. That's why I gave you an extra 10%. Otherwise, you would only get 30%."

After hearing this, Tong Wenyao thought to herself, "That's what she said. Why did they give her 40% out of the blue? Her original budget was also 30%."

She said, "Okay, then why don't we sign the contract? I'll send someone to your site to provide guidance and instruction until your people have mastered the skills, and then we'll leave."

Master Ji thought about it and immediately said, "Okay!"

Chief Clerk Jiang was sharp-eyed and grinding ink while writing the deed. Fortunately, it was signed in the yamen at this time. If it was signed at Lord Ji's house, he would have to go to the yamen to get the official seal. After the yamen below signed it, he would stamp it. Tong Wen Yao also took out her own personal seal and stamped it, and the matter was finally settled!
