Chapter 233 The Responsibility of Spreading Branches
After the excitement, she was worried. Lady Min Guogong said, "If this angers His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, will His Royal Highness turn hostile?"

Duke Min sneered, showing no disdain in his eyes in front of his wife.

"The salt mine is in our hands, and the method of making salt is now only known to us. Besides, there are so many people behind the salt mine!"

"They just took over the country. Are they going to let the people eat without salt? Or are they going to replace the entire court?"

Lady Minguogong instantly put her heart back into her stomach: "That's fine..."

When Xiao Yingchun and the prince returned to the East Palace, they found that the windows of the warm room in the East Palace had been replaced.

It is true that more people means more work.

The light in the warm room was much brighter than before, as if there were no windows.

It's so transparent, yet not even a bit of wind can get in.

It became warmer in the warm room.

When the palace maids and eunuchs saw the transparent glass windows, they all widened their eyes in surprise.

This was the first time they had ever seen windows so transparent that they seemed non-existent.

When Xiao Yingchun saw that they couldn't help looking at the window, she couldn't help laughing.

The palace servants and eunuchs have undergone strict training and will not say or look anything careless unless they can't help it.

They couldn't help but keep looking at it. What would the ministers think when they saw the glass windows?
Xiao Yingchun suddenly became curious.

"Have the windows of the Imperial Study and the Golden Throne Room been replaced?"

Fu Chenan: "Changing."

The emperor would hold court in the morning, and after that he would summon some ministers to the imperial study to discuss matters.

The emperor wanted to give his subjects a surprise (shock), so he ordered the craftsmen to start replacing the windows of the Golden Palace after the court was adjourned.

When the ministers who were discussing matters left the imperial study and passed by the Golden Palace, they saw the craftsmen who were finishing their work from afar and immediately became curious.

Someone asked the eunuch who was leading the way, "What are they doing in the Golden Throne Hall?"

The eunuch puffed out his chest proudly and said, "They are changing the windows."

The ministers could not just go over to watch the fun, so they could only suppress their curiosity and leave.

Anyway, I have to go to court tomorrow, and I will know everything tomorrow...

When they returned to Wolong Villa, it was still early. Xiao Yingchun first gave the window sizes measured by the weaving department to Boss Zhao and asked him to make another batch of windows.

At the same time, Xiao Yingchun also settled the second batch of project funds to Boss Zhao in accordance with the contract agreement.

Boss Zhao was overjoyed: not only could he place additional orders, but he could also settle the bill on time. This Miss Xiao is definitely a high-quality customer!
After promising to make the required windows in two days, Boss Zhao happily went to look for someone.

Xiao Yingchun took the tofu dregs and the big fat meat to Fu Chenan, and ordered a batch of glass cups, glass pots, glass plates, and glass bowls from the previous manufacturer...

And cloth.

The cloth is selling out too quickly today, so we need to restock it.

Tao Tao Ji is also going to restock...

When Fu Chenan came over, Xiao Yingchun was making a long list. After ordering one item, she would tick off a line.

Seeing Fu Chen sitting next to him, Xiao Yingchun asked without even looking up, "Do you want to buy salt?"

Fu Chenan thought of the Duke of Ming's Mansion and grinned, "Buy. One hundred tons first."

This time, Xiao Yingchun directly called Uncle Liang, the boss of the wholesale department, who he hadn't contacted for a long time.

Uncle Liang was overjoyed when he received a call from Xiao Yingchun.

"Yingchun, wasn't your store demolished? I heard you got a lot of money. What's up? Are you thinking about Uncle Liang again?"

Xiao Yingchun smiled and said, "Uncle Liang, I want 100 tons of salt. Can you buy it for me?"

"One hundred tons? Salt?" Uncle Liang couldn't believe his ears.

Are they going to make all the pork in the country into bacon?!
Xiao Yingchun confirmed: "Yes. I want 100 tons. Please help me deliver the goods..."

"Give me a few more packs of lollipops, and candies and snacks of various flavors, instant noodles, all of which I need..."

Xiao Yingchun sent the delivery address and Uncle Liang delivered the goods before dark.

There were boxes of salt, boxes of instant noodles, and candies and snacks...Uncle Liang had two large trucks pull up to finish the haul.

Xiao Yingchun paid the bill for Uncle Liang neatly, but Uncle Liang suddenly seemed to remember something and took down two boxes from the cab.

"Yingchun, this is the tea we grow ourselves, Huangshan Maofeng."

Xiao Yingchun was stunned: "Uncle Liang, I didn't ask for tea."

Uncle Liang pushed two boxes in front of Xiao Yingchun and said, "These are for you to drink. It's free. I grew them myself."

Xiao Yingchun couldn't refuse, so she had to accept it. At the same time, she told Uncle Liang that he might need salt again in the future and would call her when the time comes.

Uncle Liang was very happy to see that the tea had been delivered.

"Okay! Just give me a call and I'll send it to you right away..."

After Uncle Liang left, Xiao Yingchun casually stuffed two boxes of tea into the snack box.

Fu Chenan took a look and said nothing.

He knew about tea, he had drunk it from Xiao Yingchun.

During the Tianwu Dynasty, my father had no habit of drinking tea. He used to only drink water after slaughtering pigs, but now... he likes to drink milk tea.

After bringing the salt and various snacks back to the Tianwu Palace, Fu Chenan delivered the things to his father.

Fu Zhonghai was extremely busy.

Various memorials piled up like mountains. He was busy from morning to night, working like a thief. He was much busier than when he was slaughtering pigs.

Fu Chenan had just entered the imperial study when Fu Zhonghai threw a memorial at his feet.

Fu Chenan was shocked: "Dad, what are you doing?"

Fu Zhonghai glared at Fu Chenan: "Where are the rules?"

Fu Chenan: "Father..."

Fu Zhonghai pointed at the memorial paper under Fu Chenan's feet, his anger still lingering.

"Here! You asked me to choose a concubine and establish a queen! You said that I don't have many children, and you want me to fill the harem with more and have more children!"

Fu Chenan suppressed his laughter: "Isn't this a good thing?"

Fu Zhonghai glared: "What's good about that?"

"Lü Daban said that a favorite concubine in the previous dynasty would cost at least several thousand taels of silver a year!"

"The expenses of one woman are so high, why should I support a group of them?"

"The imperial court is so poor now, can I afford to support them?!"

"Besides, the previous emperor had many descendants, but what's the use?!"

Fu Chenan: “…”

Fu Zhonghai didn't know what he was thinking of. He suddenly looked at Fu Chenan and asked, "How are you and Miss Xiao doing now?"

Fu Chenan was slightly stunned, and then his ears turned slightly red: "She likes me, and I like her. We are... pretty good now."

Fu Zhonghai's eyes lit up: "Since you like each other, get married quickly! You are already so old, it's time to get married and have children!"

Fu Chenan was dumbfounded: "Dad, you don't want to have children, so you want me to have children?!"

"You evil creature! I'm doing this for your own good..." Fu Zhonghai picked up another memorial and pretended to throw it at him.

Fu Chenan was startled and quickly changed the subject: "Here, this is what Miss Xiao asked me to bring to you..."

In the big box, there are lollipops, QQ candies, and two cans of tea.

Fu Zhonghai was picking at the tea while smiling like a morning glory: "My future daughter-in-law is still thinking about me! This is... tea? I don't drink tea." He pretended to throw it out.

"She gave it to you. You can drink it or not." Fu Chenan didn't care about his father's hobby at all and acted as if it was up to you.

Fu Zhonghai was taken aback by this: "Since it's from Miss Xiao... then I'll drink it."

In order to expand the family and give face to the daughter-in-law.
