In the end, the emperor could only give up with a deep sigh about being taught by Xia Yanqing.

"This woman has a very broad vision and heart, good conduct, and an open-minded personality, and she is really a rare genius."

These ministers present have not dealt with the emperor for three or five years. In their memory, no one could have been so highly praised by the emperor.

At the same time, I have to agree with the emperor's words, just looking at what this woman does, ordinary people really can't do it.

The glass business is so hot, there is no need for any continuous feeding technology, even if the imperial court has the intention, there is no way to do it.

But Xia's daughter agreed to develop it, and it was developed much faster than everyone expected, and she divided the silver that could have earned her own family into three parts, and Qingyun Zhai only took a quarter.

As soon as the glazed tile was put on the market, the Xia family cooperated with the Guan family, although listening to the analysis of the businessman, so as to spread the glazed tile business in the fastest time. However, there are very few people who have the courage to make such a trade-off, and the Xia girl is such a person.

Moreover, if this kind of cooperative business continues, Qingyun Zhai can entangle the various interests of all kinds of people together, and in the case of both prosperity and loss, it is easier to keep the business safe.

Abandon short-term interests and plan for the long term. This vision is not just something that everyone has.

When the courtiers sighed, the emperor gave instructions: "The Ministry of Works shall select two large workshops and count the losses caused by all accidents over a period of five years, including the output reduced when the work is stopped for repairs." If you can compare the two items to the same level as you have counted on safety and security, let's start implementing them. ”

Feng Yance, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and two officials from the Ministry of Industry hurriedly stood up to receive the order.

The emperor glanced at Liu Wu, the head of the household, but didn't say anything, only waved his hand, and let a few people retreat.

Liu Wu was glanced at by the emperor, and when he left, he was not at all easier than Feng Yance. The emperor's meaning is already clear, what else is there to say? Ma slipped back, counted all kinds of ore mining under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, and planned the necessary protection.

………

Xia Yanqing walked out of the small door on the side of the palace, and at a glance, her carriage was parked not far away, Xia Zitang and Shao Yi were leading the horses, standing next to the carriage and waiting for her.

Xia Yanqing quickened his pace and approached, greeting: "Fourth brother, Shao Gongzi, why are you here?" ”

The place where Xia Zitang and the others were standing was already close to the palace guard line, and it was not easy to move forward.

Moreover, there are many people passing by not far away, all of whom glance at them intentionally or unintentionally. Obviously, Xia Yanqing's entry into the palace is very concerning. In this case, it is even more prudent to say and act.

waited until Xia Yanqing approached, Xia Zitang didn't answer Xia Yanqing's words, but asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" They didn't embarrass you, did they? ”

Shao Yi was also staring at it, but it was not easy to speak before his uncle.

"No, just a few simple questions, and I told them briefly. Then, the emperor let me come out, and nothing happened. Xia Yanqing said with a smile, it was really relaxed.

Xia Zitang was still worried, but looking around, there were really a lot of people on their side.

"Why don't we talk as we go?" Shao Yi proposed.

"Okay." Xia Zitang happily agreed, it was rare to have his brother by his side, so it would be good to let his little sister take a leisurely stroll.

Xia Yanqing is naturally happy, she goes to the Qingyun Zhai kiln every day to do things, which is not in line with the rules of everyone's female dependents, if she takes people to wander around the street again, it will definitely be considered frivolous.

The three of them walked out for a while, and Xia Zitang continued to ask: "Did the emperor and the adults ask you about the mirror?" ”

Xia Yan glanced at him innocently and said: "Where do you want to go, mirrors are rare things that are only rare for women, how can the emperor and important ministers of the court care about this?" ”

Even if they care, they are embarrassed to ask.

Xia Zitang said: "Don't say that the mirror is a woman's thing, these days, many people have asked me if the mirror is made by Qingyunzhai." There are still people who are willing to pay a high price for it. ”

Xia Yanqing said with a smile: "I've caused trouble to the fourth brother, how did the fourth brother answer them?" ”

Xia Zitang put on a proud look, glanced at Shao Yi, who was following him, and said, "It's not troublesome, it's easy to prevaricate." I told them that I also have a few mirrors in my house, but they were given by the Shao family's aunt. ”

Well, Xia Yanqing glanced at Shao Yi very sympathetically. Xia Zitang said this, that is, he put all the trouble on Shao Yi.

Shao Yi didn't feel embarrassed at all, "I also have a place to shirk, I deduced that my mother didn't know where to get the mirror, because the number of production is limited, and it is my mother's beloved thing, it is really difficult to transfer or buy and sell." Whether there is a turnaround or not, I can only wait for a few years, whether my mother has other ideas, and then I will see. ”

"Is that okay?" Xia Yanqing asked with a smile, there is a lot of room for manipulation.

Xia Zitang said stupidly: "If I say so, it is estimated that it will be enough to choke, maybe I have been blackmailed by my colleagues and friends for many meals to make amends." This kid is not, no matter how unhappy people are, they have to recognize it. ”

Xia Yanqing nodded in agreement, his identity is similar to that of slandering other people's dinners.

Xia Zitang continued: "In the past few days, there have been many people who have asked Cheng'an about his marriage, and it is estimated that on the day of marriage, the Shao family must be full of guests, and I am afraid that they will not be able to sit down. ”

Shao Yi also said: "Yan Qing's entry into the palace today must not be hidden, if the emperor approves of Yan Qing's explanation, or even shows his approval, the news will come out, and the number of people who rush to the Xia family to congratulate him will also greatly increase." ”

Xia Zitang looked quite helpless: "A capable sister is like this, and the people who are sought after can't stop it." "He looks very bad.

In fact, under the influence of Xia Ke, the Xia family is really a little nerve-wracking about the current situation.

For other families, this is an opportunity to increase contacts and strengthen exchanges with various forces, even if you receive congratulatory gifts, you will also receive a happy heart.

But his family is not, his father just wants to be a simple court official, and he doesn't want to form a gang and run his own power. As for receiving gifts, not to mention, the Xia family is really not short of money now, and they can't use it to make money at all.

…………

Just like Shao Yi said, not only did Xia Yanqing not be able to hide the fact that she was summoned by the emperor, but even the emperor's praise for her was passed on word for word.

With such a high evaluation, coupled with the speculation of the ministers present at the time about the emperor's thoughts, in the next few days, many of the family members of several important ministers handed posts to the Xia family, inviting them to have a banquet with Mrs. Jiang, and there were also younger generations who gossiped with the Yang family and the Gao family, and the level of the mansion that came and went with the second room of the Xia family was raised to another level.
