Chapter 439: New Changes

The eldest grandson issued an order, and everyone in the court was ordered to arrest these people who were selling glassware privately.

The quality of privately made glassware differs greatly from the glassware sold in shops under the name of Changsun Xian.

In addition, the person who bought the glassware could not help but show off to others, and was quickly reported to the county government.

Nowadays, it is a serious crime to buy and sell such glassware privately, and the same crime is committed for buying and selling. Currently, the seller cannot be found, and the buyer is directly imprisoned. In addition to being fined, the glassware he bought is also taken away by the court.

This is an era that pays great attention to reputation. Whether it is a man's civil service examination or a woman's marriage, reputation is inseparable.

Especially something that the Holy One directly ordered to investigate strictly.

If something like this happens at home, it will directly affect Erlang's ability to enter the examination room!

Not to mention those adults who were officials in the court, even if they did not buy it themselves, but just bought one for a cheap price from relatives in other places, they would still have to hand over the certificate to the palace to explain their lax management of the family.

It didn't take long for Bailong Envoy and the officials below to follow the clues and find the person behind the scenes - the Wang family.

After thinking about the size of the Wang family, it is closely related to the various families in the government and the public.

Chang Sunxian felt that he couldn't deal with it all at once, so he could only write it down in a small notebook in his mind and wait to deal with it slowly in the future.

However, under the ban of Changsun title, there were far fewer people buying and selling glassware privately.

After all, families who can afford glassware are not poor people. They hope that their children and grandchildren will become rich and powerful. Besides being an official, what other way to become rich and powerful?

So I stopped thinking about buying cheap glassware. At worst, I would go to the capital and buy more expensive ones, which would be the same.

But privately, there are still some vendors selling these glasses.

If it cannot be sold in Dajin, it can be transported to other places and sold to foreign merchants.

The foreign merchant's skin and eye color are just different, but he is not a fool. He has seen transparent and pure glass and a mirror that can detect people's light, so why would he be interested in such inferior goods?

However, no matter how good-looking the mirrors and glassware are, they can't buy them, so they can only settle for the next best thing. They can go against the odds and secretly buy some of poor quality and ship them to their country, and they can sell them for a lot of money.

Grandson Sun, the eldest son of those small businessmen, doesn't care, as long as the Wang family's business is not big.

Everyone's eyes quickly turned away from this matter. Without him, spring had arrived.

The Chunwei Examination, also known as the General Examination, is held every three years. It is appointed by the emperor and presided over by the Ministry of Rites. All state officials and imperial examination invigilators can refer to it.

After passing the Chunwei exam, it is the palace exam.

This is the first spring since the eldest grandson ascended the throne, and the new emperor basically has to appoint Enke.

Changsun not only failed to open Enke once, but also delayed it for several years.

When new people are admitted to the court, the court officials are naturally very busy. Among the new scholars, there must be their disciples and juniors.

Compared to everyone's enthusiasm, Chang Sunxian's reaction was indifferent.

The person who recruited his subordinates casually asked Guo Sheng if he would take part in the examination this year.

"Your Majesty, Guo Sheng is a student of the Imperial College, so he is naturally on the reference list."

"I understand, you can go down." Changsun Xian waved his hand and said.

After all, Guo Sheng is her fellow junior, and it is her duty as a senior to care about his junior's exams.

As for Jiang Huanfeng, there is still time to wait.

Officials from various departments are responsible for the male imperial examination, but there are fewer people who can be responsible for the female imperial examination.

The title of eldest grandson was handed over to the concubines and Yuntao.

It was the first time that the concubines were busy with such a major court matter. They made many assumptions in their minds and kept arguing about various things. In the end, they could not come up with a charter.

Three women make one play, dozens of women equal dozens of plays.

Yuntao felt that the main hall was too noisy, so she took a few days off and waited for the concubines to make an arrangement before she went to see it.

Although she has a ready-made charter, it is not something she can do alone, nor can she do it perfectly on her own.

The concubines have received the best female education of this era, so they naturally have merit.

Yuntao was going to wait until they were almost done before going out to replenish some.

In addition to the affairs of the women's school, Yuntao also has to be busy with matters of her own fiefdom.

During her absence, Li'an's tax revenue was increasing day by day, but there were also some problems.

"Princess, this is last year's account book. This is the newly opened factory in the south!" The female steward from the south handed over the rosters one after another.

Yuntao quickly looked through the summary at the back. Li'an has made a lot of money in recent years. As a county, it has made more money than the surrounding state capitals.

When Yuntao turned to the factory list again, she discovered a fatal problem.

Yuntao handed over the rights to expand the factory and recruit workers to her subordinates, letting them handle it on their own.

Various businesses in Li'an are doing very well, and the scale of the factory is much larger than when she was in the south, not to mention the scale of the small factories around Li'an.

Even the officials in other counties where her fiefdom was located wrote to her one after another, wanting to open factories within their jurisdiction.

This situation is so wrong!

"Stop recruiting people for the workshop!" Yuntao said.

The female steward standing next to Yuntao was puzzled, "Princess, if you open more workshops, you can make more money and make the people below rich, so why don't you recruit more workers?"

Yuntao closed the account book, turned around and said to the crowd, "Now everyone knows that you can earn money by working in a workshop. Ordinary people can only earn enough food to live on throughout the year, which is not as good as working in a factory for half a year."

"Everyone is looking forward to working, but who will plant the land?"

These words stunned the steward below, "Princess, the food stored in the granary now will not worry you even if there is a natural disaster!"

"A lot?"

"If everyone goes to work, who will farm the land?" Yuntao said earnestly.

There were too many affairs in the south, and it was impossible for her to do it herself. In addition, the distance was far away, so all the things had to be handled by these stewards. So she had to break down the truth and explain it clearly to them.

"You only see that factories can make money by selling things. Do you know who these things are sold to?"

"I know that this balm is a best-seller in the capital and various prefectures. Madams like to buy it. The straw paper is sold to poor scholars, and some bookshops also come to order paper..." Tian Fang stepped forward and asked.

Zhuang said, his voice as clear as an oriole.

Yuntao waited patiently for her to finish before speaking, "Have you seen other similar products in this market?"

"You've seen it! Some are not as cheap as us, some are not as good as us, and some can't make anything like ours."

"Then you have seen too little..." Yuntao shook her head and said.
