The best thing about Wu Nian is that he doesn't toss.

Go out to fight and live in the army.

When he returned to the capital, he stayed in the palace and rarely went out.

The emperor went out to open the way for the guards, followed the officials, and the people and horses were eaten, and the cost was incalculable.

Yang Guang went to the south of the Yangtze River and destroyed the Sui Dynasty.

Wu Nian lived in Cao Miao'e's room for half a month, and then transferred to Kunning Palace, and then lived in all palaces and spoiled the concubines.

As the saying goes, there are clouds, and rain and dew are wet.

The harem can be harmonious.

Yesterday. Wu Nian lived in Kunning Palace, opened his eyes, and touched his side, not surprisingly, he didn't see the person next to him.

When the eunuch and the palace maid saw that Wu Nian was awake, they immediately took action. Hot water for washing, cloth towels, and ointment for gargling were served.

When Liu Xiang came back with the news, Wu Nian was already dressed neatly. The husband and wife had breakfast together, and then sat down to eat together.

"Brother. Let me tell you something. Liu Xiangle said.

"What's the matter?" Wu Nian saw her smiling face and knew that it was a good thing.

"Before, it wasn't because there were too many palace maids and eunuchs in the palace. Did you run a big textile workshop? Because of the good handiwork, it is very popular. It's profitable now. ”

Liu Xiang said with a smile.

Wu Nian remembered that there was such a thing. At that time, there were also officials who wrote a letter, saying that it was "out of royal dignity", and Wu Nian went his own way.

How much is decent worth?

There are so many eunuchs and palace maids, just serving their family. The amount of food eaten every day is astronomical.

If the eunuchs and palace maids could support themselves and use the money they saved to improve the food for the soldiers.

"Still profitable?!" Wu Nian was a little surprised, and looked up and asked.

I thought it would be good to support myself, but I can still make a profit?

"Yes. Brother, think about it. In the entire Han Dynasty, who had such a big workshop? There are so many workers who specialize in weaving. Our goods are good. Very popular. ”

Liu Xiangle said.

"Hmm." Wu Nian also laughed and nodded slightly.

"Since you make money, give them money. Improve their food. Wu Nian said.

"Hmm." Liu Xiang snorted.

Wu came to be interested and had nothing to do, so he drove to the big workshop with Liu Xiang.

The large workshop is close to the Forbidden City, and it is very easy to enter and exit.

Inside the big workshop. Eunuchs and palace maids are either weaving cloth or carrying goods and materials, and those with high grades are responsible for management and orderly. When they saw the emperor coming, they wanted to kneel.

Wu Nian waved his hand and let them do their own.

Wu Nian didn't know much about cloth, but when he reached out and touched it, he also felt that the quality was very good. He nodded, most of the people in this era were a family with a loom, and women were weaving cloth in their spare time.

There are very few small workshops.

Not to mention such a big workshop and so many people.

These eunuchs and palace maids weave cloth every day, and their craftsmanship is exquisite, and the cloth they make is indeed good.

After taking a look around the big workshop, Wu Nian and Liu Xiang returned to the palace.

This big workshop. Wu Nian was only built to house eunuchs and palace maids, and he didn't expect it to make money.

The royal family also has income.

For example, Huangzhuang and Huangdian in Hebei, Goguryeo, Liaodong, and Sanhan regions, as well as various royal businesses.

The income generated by these businesses is collected from the internal funds. It was the emperor's small treasury. It is separate from the money of the treasury.

Wu Nian had nothing to do, so he called the people from the Internal Affairs Office and looked at the business. found that his private small treasury was seven or eight million taels.

I can't spend it at all.

He remembered that before, he asked Liu Zhixing to spend the money of the state treasury to buy grain from the people, stabilize grain prices, and protect the interests of farmers, and he was worried that the money in the state treasury was not enough.

It's very guilty.

He put down the account book in his hand, looked up at the eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office who was a little nervous in front of him, and said, "Take out five million taels of silver." Granaries were built in estates outside the city, and grain from the people was vigorously purchased. ”

"Yes."

The eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and bowed and saluted.

No way. Although His Majesty the Emperor has not been an emperor for a long time, he has been the king of Han for more than ten years, but it is the first time to look at the account books of the Internal Affairs Office.

I thought something was wrong.

He was frightened and restless.

Liu Xiang watched from the side, happy.

Benevolence and love for the people are good emperors. If the emperor of Chu is as good as my brother. The days of our Han people in Liaodong are not to mention how beautiful.

"Your Majesty. The people from the manufacturing bureau sent something. Suddenly, a eunuch led several eunuchs into the room.

Wu Nian looked up, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

It's glass.

After going out for a year, did the manufacturing bureau actually make glass?

The manufacturing bureau was originally subordinate to the Ministry of Industry, which was to make cement for Wu Nian, and is currently studying the yamen of the steam engine.

There is a wide range of manufacturing involved.

After he became emperor, he made the manufacturing bureau independent, encircled a piece of land outside the capital, and expanded the scale.

I saw the eunuchs holding a lot of glass products in their hands.

There are glassware, plates, cups.

There are cut boxy clear glass.

Of course, mirrors are also indispensable.

"Brother. What is this. It's so clear. Liu Xiang stood up in surprise and picked up the mirror to look at her face, the first time in her life that she could see her face so clearly. But she soon made a sad face, she was really old, and she had crow's feet.

before. Whether it is a royal family, a dignitary, or a squire, all use bronze mirrors.

Looking at these glass products, Wu Nian had some ideas in addition to joy.

The imperial court's finances can still hold on, but they are reckless in their own military force, and they want to carry out big projects in Shanxi. If we encounter such a bumper harvest this year, we will have to pay for private grain to stabilize grain prices.

In the event of a disaster year, the money will be used for disaster relief.

No matter how much money there is, it's not too much.

Glass is too versatile.

Needless to say, mirrors. Once you take it out and sell it, it will definitely attract a cult following.

The glass plate is also a novelty.

This is a sharp sickle, which can cut the leeks of the squires, local tyrants, and outsiders in the world.

rob them and take out the money to govern the world.

Clear glass can also be used to make glass windows. For example, the windows in the palace are all papier-mâché. The paper paste is light and thin, and it is cold in winter.

Once the wind and rain blow, you have to change the paper paste.

It's a lot of trouble.

First of all, the doors and windows of the palace are installed with glass.

Glass can also be used in glass greenhouses.

The land of China is limited. How to use land in a limited way has become the key. The emergence of greenhouses allows the land to be planted with crops in winter.

And in winter, you can eat a bite of fresh vegetables.

It was so beautiful.

Wu Nian has been traveling for more than 20 years, and now he is an emperor, but he can only eat some pickled vegetables and pickled radishes every winter.

Good stuff.
