In the evening, everyone returned to the yard and after dinner, Gao Zhijun gave each of the women from the Sun family and the Huo family a jar of rouge.
At night, after they had sex, they were tormented by their men all night long.
The older ones and those who were single were stunned when they looked at themselves in the mirror. They were so excited and happy that they tossed and turned all night.
The next day, after breakfast, Gao Zhijun took Qinglong, Canglang and Moxue back to Huojia Village.
The people who came to help build the workshop have arrived in Huojia Village, waiting for Gao Zhijun to return.
"I plan to build the workshop here, and open a door from there to connect the workshop with the yard."
Gao Zhijun brought them to the wasteland behind Gao's mansion and pointed at the back wall of Gao's mansion.
"Yes, Princess!"
Said the people of Taizhou who came to work.
Gao Zhijun explained the requirements of the workshop in detail and did not leave until they knew how to build it.
Five days later, the workshop was built and Gao Zhijun also selected the female workers to work in the workshop, who were the maids she bought.
The profit from Rouge was too high and too tempting, so she was hesitant to hire outsiders.
This time, she gave Yanzhi to Xiaoli, who was more shrewd and tactful. With her in charge, she could keep those maids under control.
The manager of the rouge shop was also handed over to her. When the rouge shop opened, she would go to look after the shop. The manager of the workshop was handed over to Xiao Cui, who was honest but not stupid.
Gao Zhijun has taught Xiaoli the production process, and she also bought a lot of flowers and plants.
This time I'm going to make rouge, facial mask, lip balm, and facial cleanser.
I took Xiaoli and the others into the workshop and introduced the procedures that should be followed in each room of the workshop. Then Xiaoli assigned the maids' positions and the processes they were responsible for.
Gao Zhijun makes rouge according to the factory assembly line. Each person is responsible for a process. They have their own room and no one except the manager can enter to prevent the recipe from being leaked.
After the maids were assigned, everyone went into their own rooms, and Gao Zhijun and Xiaoli taught them personally.
When it got dark, Gao Zhijun asked them to go back to the yard to eat, locked the door, and entered the Gao Mansion.
On the last day of the provincial examination, Gao Zhijun took Huo Zhiyuan and Hong Qiujue to pick up Huo Jinqian.
Huo Jinqian was in good spirits this time. Aside from a bit of fatigue, he didn't look malnourished. This was probably because he'd eaten instant noodles, and the minced meat soup was nourishing.
Huo Jinqian went back and rested after dinner.
Capital city!
"Urgent news!"
The Minister of War hurriedly walked into the imperial study with the memorial.
"What's going on? You're so flustered!"
The emperor asked the Minister of War.
"Your Majesty, this is bad news. Urgent news has arrived from the Youzhou border: the Tatars, somehow knowing the Valiant Cavalry General is absent from the barracks, have assembled a force of 100,000 and are preparing to march across the border and attack Daliang."
The Minister of War said anxiously, panting.
"What? General Murong is not in the barracks. Where did he go?"
"This is outrageous! He actually dared to neglect his duties and leave the camp without permission. He is so bold."
"Why did he leave the border camp?"
The emperor said angrily.
"Your Majesty, I'm not entirely sure. The General of the Cavalry said he was sending the military doctor to Taizhou to learn surgery before leaving the barracks. The General of the Cavalry said the surgery was extremely important, as it affected the lives of millions of soldiers. He wanted to personally send the doctor there and return safely."
The Minister of War was so frightened that he answered truthfully.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his hands were shaking.
"That's nonsense! While the operation is important, it's not as important as guarding the border. That's no excuse for neglecting his duties."
When the emperor heard this explanation, he didn't believe it at all.
A general, a general with great military achievements, would not be unaware of the importance of guarding the border.
A group of dragons cannot be without a leader. If he leaves without permission, he is giving the other party an opportunity. This is not Murong Yuanbo's character. He cares about the safety of the people at the border more than anything else.
Murong Yuanbo is not reckless, but rather thoughtful.
He definitely didn't leave the border just for the surgery, there might be other reasons.
The Minister of War was so frightened that he dared not speak, but just knelt on the ground and trembled.
"Eunuch Zhang, summon the Crown Prince immediately!"
The emperor said to Eunuch Zhang outside the palace.
"Yes! I'll go right away!"
After Eunuch Zhang finished speaking, he immediately went to the Prince's Mansion to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
After the prince knew about it, he followed Eunuch Zhang to the imperial study in a hurry.
"Your son pays homage to His Majesty the Father!"
When the prince entered the imperial study and saw the Minister of War kneeling on the ground and trembling, he knew that something big had happened.
"Prince, the Valiant Cavalry General neglected his duties and left the border without permission, causing the Tatars to gather 100,000 generals and prepare to attack Daliang. This matter is of great urgency. What do you think should be done?"
The emperor asked the prince for advice.
The prince's heart skipped a beat. How could General Murong make such a low-level mistake and leave the military camp without permission? This was a serious crime.
"Father, this is not the time to hold General Murong accountable. The most urgent task is to gather the troops to provide support. We must not allow the Tatars to break through the border and attack Daliang."
"Your son is willing to lead the troops to support Youzhou. By the way, where is General Murong? Your father has ordered him to rush to Youzhou. The Tatars are afraid of General Murong. Your son will lead the troops to stop them and help General Murong buy time."
The prince made a prompt decision and stated his strategy.
"Alright, let's do as the Crown Prince ordered. Three days from now, you will lead 30,000 troops to the border for reinforcements. I will immediately order the General of Cavalry to return to Youzhou with all haste. If he defeats the Tatars this time, I will forgive his dereliction of duty and his unauthorized departure from the barracks. Otherwise, I will execute his entire clan."
The emperor's face was filled with rage.
