After a few days, the aftermath of the temple fair calmed down and people's lives returned to normal.
However, compared to the boring day after day in the past, they now have more expectations for the future.
After Qian and Zhang finished dealing with the follow-up matters of the temple fair, they immediately went to the palace to report.
Of course, the main purpose is to ask for rewards.
Chu Yuening naturally saw through their thoughts, but she didn't hold any grudges.
As the mother of a country, her words are golden and she always keeps her word.
What's more, a smart boss should be able to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, and reward those who have made contributions, so as to retain employees.
She didn't care much about whose contribution was greater.
After all, her original intention was to motivate them through competition.
So she simply raised them all to a higher level.
"Thank you, Madam!"
Zhang Hai was overjoyed, his face flushed.
Although he was confident that he was no less capable than his mortal enemy, he certainly would not be ungrateful when there was a safer option.
Qian Dafu also bowed to express his gratitude, smiling happily, and his already small eyes narrowed into slits.
With such a happy event happening, even the old face of his arch-enemy seemed a lot more pleasing to the eye.
After rewarding them based on their merits, Chu Yuening did not send the two away, but brought up another matter.
"Would you two be interested in going to the academy to hold a business exchange meeting and share business experience with the business school students?"
“Business exchange meeting?”
Qian and Zhang looked at each other, hesitant.
Since ancient times, scholars, farmers, artisans and merchants have been the lowest class among the four classes, while scholars are mostly aloof and look down upon these businessmen who are full of money.
Although the imperial court has now opened business courses and improved the status of merchants slightly, the concept of suppressing merchants is deeply rooted and most people still look down on them.
This is also the reason why they are willing to risk their lives to get an official position.
Only by changing one's family background can one escape from the predicament and protect the family and future generations.
Seeing the two people below looking embarrassed, Chu Yuening raised her eyebrows slightly, and without saying much, she directly released her trump card.
"If you perform well, you will be evaluated as excellent at the end of the year."
Zhang Hai's expression changed instantly, becoming solemn and dignified, with an awe-inspiring look.
"I am willing to share your worries, Madam! I will teach you everything I know when the time comes."
"That is what I wish for, but I dare not ask for it."
Qian Dafu followed closely behind, speaking in a very elegant and firm tone, without any trace of hesitation from before.
They looked extremely calm and composed, with no sense of shame or discomfort.
But it's not surprising. The two have been in the business world for decades and have developed a thick skin.
What is face to them?
Is it important to have an official position?
Seeing this amazing skill of changing her face, Chu Yuening tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of her lips and gave instructions in a gentle but dignified tone.
"Well, I believe in you."
"In addition, we will invite the factory managers to participate and share their experience with the students."
"As you command, my lady."
They were only one step away from getting the pie. At this moment, Qian and Zhang were full of passion and fighting spirit, so they readily agreed.
After the two figures, one fat and one thin, retreated, Chu Yuening put down her tiring queen airs and leisurely returned to the inner hall.
As soon as I came in, I was met with a pleasing and handsome face.
She smiled brightly, lifted her skirt and trotted over, throwing herself into the man's arms like a young swallow flying into the forest.
Ying Zheng spread his arms and steadily caught the pretty woman, his deep and mellow voice full of doting.
"Have you finished giving the instructions?"
"Yeah, as soon as I mentioned the award, they all rushed to accept it."
Chu Yuening raised her chin proudly, her eyes shining like stars, flashing with a cunning light.
Ying Zheng raised his lips to smile faintly, caressing her cheek with his fingertips, praising her generously.
"It seems that Yue Ning's ability to control her subordinates is no less than mine."
"oops......"
"Stop blowing, stop blowing, you're about to blow me up into the sky."
Hearing such high praise, Chu Yuening's face became anxious and she glared at the man in shame and anger.
She is still very self-aware.
Talking about the art of controlling subordinates in front of the greatest emperor in history is like showing off one's knowledge in front of an expert.
After laughing and joking for a while, the two sat opposite each other and dealt with their own business.
After Chu Yuening finished the official business at hand, she thought of the heavy stone hanging in her heart, pondered for a moment, and spoke softly.
"A Zheng, after this group of students finish their apprenticeship, I will arrange for them to go to various counties and open more factories."
"By then, I'll have to trouble you to instruct the local officials to cooperate."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be a conflict of interest, and some people will interfere."
"Well, Yue Ning, rest assured."
Ying Zheng kept writing as he comforted her in a gentle voice.
Immediately, the pen and ink left the last sharp stroke on the memorial.
He casually lowered his eyelids, his phoenix eyes were blazing with a hidden edge, and his tone was calm, but it could not conceal the emperor's intimidating majesty.
"All matters in the world, big or small, are decided by me. How dare they act so presumptuously?"
"Yes! With our great Emperor Qin Shi Huang suppressing evil spirits and monsters, I am relieved."
Chu Yuening propped up her head, blinked playfully, and flattered with a smile.
A cold wind of early winter blew, blowing up the yellow leaves on the dead branches and dropping them to the ground. The previously fallen leaves gradually withered and rotted, blending into the soil and turning into nutrients for the coming year.
In the blink of an eye, Daqin ushered in another winter.
In the Academy, in the Business School.
The students were discussing the topic of "Business Exchange Meeting" and expressing their opinions.
"Are you going?"
"No, I heard it was organized by two businessmen. Why would I go?"
