This is something that Shao Yi thought about before, and it feels a little difficult to say.

"This, I should have thought of it earlier." Shao Yi said.

"What?"

Shao Yi explained, "The emperor will definitely send someone to keep an eye on Liu Dafu, but the emperor's purpose is not to curb Liu Dafu's development, but to grasp their movements and uncover the hidden power of King Chengjun." ”

He looked at Xia Yanqing, "The emperor will only observe secretly, and will never make any moves to startle the snake." No matter how big Liu Dafu's business is, as long as it is in the emperor's sight, it has no meaning. ”

Xia Yanqing instantly understood that for the ancient times when the imperial power was supreme, if it was not to the point where the building was about to collapse and could not be saved, the emperor was not afraid of the forces placed in the open, he was afraid of the undercurrent hidden in the shadows and able to shake the imperial power.

The emperor's priority now is, of course, to find out the enemy's deployment, and only by letting it develop can the opponent lose his vigilance and let go of his hands and feet.

It's just that...... The money she invested, it was to return to the capital and make money.

Xia Yanqing blinked and asked, "Why don't we help the emperor add fire and make Liu Dafu's actions more?" ”

Shao Yi smiled: "Of course it's no problem." ”

His family Ah Can is just simple-minded and doesn't pay attention to crooked ways, but he can make sense of it at all. With a little hint, you can understand it right away, and you can come up with a countermeasure.

Xia Yanqing was full of expectations, "I'm afraid this has to be Shao Gongzi's shot." Before, the son-in-law of Zhang Shangshu's family went over to sit in the town and helped open up the situation. Shao Gongzi's friends, can anyone else have time to go over? ”

Three months ago, Zhang Yongchang, who was messing around in the Jiangnan Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of Households, got an expatriate errand in Pingyang County, and really went to Pingyang County to show off his might.

The officials sent by the household department, although the position is low, but they do it for the household department, plus the father of the second grade of the capital, and the various local officials and squires, which have to look at the face of this eight-rank master.

Zhang Xiaowu took advantage of his position to ask about various taxes in Pingyang County, and mentioned a few more words about Qingyun Glass.

The rest of the time outside of official business is also mostly spent checking the business of the glass shop, and then having a few banquets with He Zhongzheng and Liu Cheng, calling him brothers, and immediately making all kinds of people in Pingyang County look at the glass shop with admiration.

can be called a brother and sister to the noble son of the capital, and the officials sent by the household department can ask about the business status of the glass store, what does this mean? This shows that there are people above the family.

Zhang Dingchen, the governor of Pingyang County, originally just thought that Qingyunzhai's glass business could be done, which could make his political achievements in Pingyang County somewhat better, so he gave some convenience.

Who knows, in addition to being the property of the Xia family's women, this glass shop also has such a background, and even the sons of the Shangshu family and the officials sent by the household department can be familiar with it.

It seems that Qingyun Glass Store will have to be treated with caution in the future, if the manager of the glass store sends a letter to the capital, his evaluation in the Ministry of Officials will be completely useless.

Not to mention others. The buyers and sellers from the capital, and there are even court officials who come to take care of them in the future, which can't be provoked.

But that's all, in Binh Duong County, Qingyun Glass can be said to be a thoroughfare, and the business is booming.

When I left Pingyang County, it was muddy and bumpy, and it was difficult to take a single step.

When it was discussed to go to Pingyang County to carry out glass business, Shao Yi should be responsible for this kind of thing, and Shao Yi did make arrangements.

"Okay, you can let me have some time. At the end of September, the Ministry of Household Affairs would send officials to Jianyang, and I would find a way to get Ding Bochang over. ”

Xia Yanqing was a little worried, "Won't it be too far?" Jianyang seems to be separated from Pingyang by a county. ”

Shao Yi smiled and said, "It's okay, the household department sent someone over, that is, the imperial court asked about local affairs." If any of them obstruct the flow of trade, or even involve the collusion of officials and bandits, the local officials will be held responsible.

As long as Ding Bochang's Shangguan asks a few more words in public, why the glass in Pingyang County cannot be circulated, the news will spread. If someone loots the glass of Pingyang County again, it may give the emperor a chance to add fuel to the fire. When the two firms compete, Liu Dafu will use more power. ”

Xia Yanqing nodded subconsciously, and faintly felt in her heart that the business that she, a common commoner, had to do in ancient times to seek development in the contest between the emperor and the king of Chengjun.

It's a bit of a big fuss?

Ding Bochang's errand this time is not the chief officer, but the follower.

Although according to his family background, and his reputation and strong background in the capital, even the six-rank chief official who was the head of the household department would not dare to do anything to him, but if this errand could be supported by the chief officer, it would still be twice the result with half the effort.

Just when Xia Yanqing selected the glass objects that he could take and used them to prepare for the successful achievement of Ding Bochang's trip, a glass workshop in the capital launched mirror glass.

What surprised Xia Yanqing, and added to his frustration, was that this glass workshop was not the Shunfeng glass workshop of Xiangjun Wangfu, but a north-south currency bank with a foreign relative's background.

Of course, the North-South Currency Bank also shipped only two days earlier than the Shunfeng Treasure Cargo Bank.

The problem is that it is not the problem of two days earlier and two days late that hit Xia Yanqing, but that Xia Yanqing feels that his IQ has been crushed. I thought that the mirror glass would make a lot of money in my hands for a few years, and then see if it was a coincidence, so that it could be learned.

Who knows, this technology has not been popularized on a large scale before it is hot in my own hands. Could this be the punishment for her self-righteousness and contempt for the ancients?

It is conceivable that stimulated by the mirror glass of these two glass stores, Fuxiang Commercial Bank will also devote itself to the production of mirror glass.

Xia Yanqing even planned to break the jar, and she simply didn't need his family to participate in the research, she directly told them how simple the mirror glass method was. It's good for everyone to compete together, and the province makes those two too happy.

Especially in the Xiangjun Palace, there are clouds of medical books, anger hurts the liver, joy and sadness, and it is not good for the body to be too happy.

With this idea, that night, the shopkeeper Kang visited the shopkeeper Zheng of Fuxiang Commercial Bank, but it was not the practice of mirror glass.

Kang's shopkeeper has a lotus tongue, lobbying the north-south currency banks and local branches, and dealing in glass and glassware produced by Xiajia Glass Company.

The shopkeeper Zheng hadn't figured out the situation yet, and the shopkeeper Kang asked him if he was interested in transferring the glass workshop and craftsmen of Fuxiang Commercial Bank to Qingyun Glass Company?

This incident shows that Xia Yanqing's idea is still very reliable, and the day after Shopkeeper Kang visited Shopkeeper Zheng, Shopkeeper Zheng paid a return visit, and he was very sincere.

That is to say, Xia Yanqing has a powerful alliance in the capital.

Fuxiang Commercial Bank dared to blatantly steal the glass recipe of the Xia family like the other two, naturally it also had a background, and was not afraid of the Xia family and Shao Yi making trouble.
