Time flies slowly, and before you know it, the Spring Festival is approaching, and during this time, three major events have happened.

First: Empress Xiao Yanru gave birth to a prince, which made Xiang Chi very happy, thought about it, and after gathering several scholars, she finally decided to name Xiang Hao.

Second: that is, the Northwest United Army fought a big war with Kunguo, Kun Mi, the king of Kun Kingdom, in order to avenge his son, sent a national army to attack Xucheng, and Sima Ce fought for a day and a night, and finally fled in defeat, leaving thousands of corpses, and his son Kun Sha also died in this battle, after the war, Kun Mi seemed to give up the idea of solving the Northwest United Army in a short time, but everyone knew that the feud between the two countries was completely accepted.

Third: The offices of the Western Regions were successfully established, and the thirteen Western Regions countries became one of the members of the firm, and they will also send high-level officials in the country to participate in the first Spring Festival feast of the Wude Dynasty.

Less than six days before Chinese New Year's Eve, in the Ci'an Palace of the Imperial City, Empress Dowager Yu Hui looked at a phoenix robe with a golden red body and inlaid with precious stones in front of her, revealing a satisfied look.

"Sister, this floating light fur is made of colorful silk threads, and then decorated with nine-colored pearls, under the morning sun, dazzling, especially it is wet but not wet, and the fire is not extinguished, which is very rare" At this time, a mature lady sitting next to her stood up and said kindly.

"Such a treasure is indeed not comparable to money, my sister has a heart," Yu Hui said with a smile.

"Sister is polite, in fact, this is all prepared by Fan Qing," the noble lady immediately pointed to an elegant man with a short beard next to her.

Yu Hui was born in the Zhao State Mansion and is the eldest lady in the mansion, and this noble lady is his sister Yu Na, as for his husband, he is Fan Qing, the eldest son of the famous wealthy businessman Fan family in Dachu, of course, Fan Qing is now at the helm of the Fan family.

The Fan family is also a wealthy family, although it lacks the resources of a ghost talent like Shen Wanqian, but because of Yu Na's relationship, to some extent, Shen Wanqian can't compare.

"I see, brother-in-law, thank you very much," Yu Hui said softly.

"The Queen Mother is polite" Fan Qing hurriedly got up, he couldn't be as comfortable as Yu Na, in front of him was the most noble existence of Da Chu except for His Majesty.

"You guys are here this time, do you have anything else to do besides giving spring gifts?" Yu Hui asked with concern.

"This" Fan Qing hesitated.

After Yu Na glanced at her, she said, "Sister, there is indeed one thing."

"Tell me about it"

"It's such a sister, recently the Royal Academy of Sciences has researched a thing called glass, although this kind of thing is not very useful for military strategy, but it is extremely practical for the people, it can be said that it is comparable to another reform of printing, the imperial court decided to promote it, Zhongshu Province strictly obeyed His Majesty's order, and also carried out a pilot, and this time the pilot will no longer be arranged by the imperial court, but is intended to be bought by wealthy merchants for large-scale manufacturing, the imperial court occupies thirty-five percent of the future profits, and the Fan family has prepared three million taels of silver, Originally, there should be no problem, but I didn't expect that this time Shen Wanqian also mixed in, so that the manufacturing technology that was originally ready to be handed over suddenly retreated, so my sister came to my sister to see if I could talk to Your Majesty and hand over this technology to the Fan family" Yu Na pleaded, Shen Wanqian's financial resources are too terrifying, if it is a hard resistance, the Fan family is probably not an opponent.

Yu Hui frowned, and said: "Third sister, if it were someone else, the mourning family could talk about it, but you may not know that this Shen Wanqian used to be a minister of the emperor's hidden mansion, and the wealth of the Shen family is directly linked to the treasury."

"Sister, the Fan family is the same! Although he Shen Wanqian is a person from the Qiandi, the Fan family is still a relative of the royal family, and over the years, what the court needs, the Fan family has paid no less than him, Shen Wanqian," Yu Na hurriedly said.

"This" Yu Hui hesitated slightly.

"Your Majesty, here" At this time, a voice sounded, and I saw Xiang Chi walking in from outside with a smile on his face.

"Meet Your Majesty" Yu Na and Fan Qing were taken aback, and immediately saluted.

"No need to be polite, it's all family" Xiang Chi waved his hand.

"Your Majesty"

"Son to meet the queen mother," Xiang Chi saluted Yu Hui.

"Why is the emperor free to come today," Yu Hui said with a smile.

"My son came today because of my uncle's business," Xiang Chi said.

"What's wrong with your uncle" Yu Hui was suddenly a little worried.

"Don't worry, my uncle is fine, it's just that I heard that the Fan family and the Shen family are competing for the manufacturing technology and franchise of glass, so I came here on purpose," Xiang Chi said with a smile.

"Emperor, you can just look at this matter, you don't have to worry too much" Hearing this, Yu Hui breathed a sigh of relief.

"Haha, my son came here today just to tell my uncle that the manufacturing technology and franchise of this glass will be handed over to the Fan family, and I have already made thousands of people retreat from competition," Xiang Chi said with a smile.

Fan Qing was stunned for a moment, then his face showed excitement, and he quickly knelt down and said: "Thank you for your grace, the Fan family will live up to the trust."

"Uncle is too polite, the reputation of the Fan family has been excellent over the years, and he has also made a lot of contributions to Da Chu, in addition, I came this time, I also want to tell you that the Academy of Sciences will continue to invent and research in the future, and glass is the front station, as long as it is played, the franchise will be sold in the future, so this matter is not only a business, but also a national politics" Xiang Chi Dao, the research of strategic equipment is naturally solved by the imperial court itself, but similar to glass, etc., in fact, the rich businessmen of Dachu are more useful than the imperial court, because the rich businessmen have many tricks and few rules, Flexibility is greatly improved.

"The grass people understand, please rest assured," Fan Qing said immediately.

"Fan Qing, since the emperor said so, then the Fan family must do a good job" Yu Hui reminded that although the emperor gave the technology to the Fan family because of her face, if she didn't do it well, she could still take it back.

"Yes, Queen Mother," Fan Qing nodded.

After Fan Qing had a lunch in the palace, he left Ci'an Palace alone, and Yu Na had to stay in the palace for a few days.

And just when he was about to reach the gate of the palace, a shout suddenly sounded.

"Brother Fan, wait a minute"

At this time, I saw Shen Wanqian suddenly appear not far away and walked towards him.

"It turns out that Shen is the richest man," Fan Qing immediately hugged his fists and said.

"Brother Fan, congratulations, congratulations," Shen Wanqian said with a smile.

"You're welcome, this is all Your Majesty's kindness, Brother Shen's concession," Fan Qing said modestly.

"Haha, the Fan family is indeed more suitable than me Shen Wanqian, I don't think about the franchise of the glass, but there is something I want to discuss with Brother Fan" Shen Wanqian said.

"Brother Shen said"

"Brother Fan probably also knows that this glass is only the first step, and it is estimated that there will be many more in the future, and the amount of purchase will be even more terrifying, your Fan family is famous, my Shen family has a line, if the two can cooperate, it will definitely be able to make great contributions to the reform of Da Chu."

Fan Qing was stunned for a moment, and after pondering slightly, he said, "Brother Shen, you give me some time for this matter."

"Okay, Brother Fan, in fact, at our point, money is just a number, Your Majesty is the Eternal Holy Monarch, and he will create a brilliant cause, although we are no longer in court, we should also actively support it" Shen Wanqian said seriously.

Fan Qing's face moved, he looked at Shen Wanqian, who was sincere, and suddenly sighed: "Brother Shen, no wonder you will become the richest man."
