The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 68 Volcanic Ash

After returning from Princess Xiyue's mansion, Shangguan Qing gathered the maids and women in the mansion together, and conducted a surprise quiz. There was a lot of trouble, and the eyes of the girls became more and more sad.

Shangguan Qing then announced that their monthly money would not be paid out on a monthly basis, but would be distributed in three installments every ten days, and the amount of the monthly money would be determined according to the quiz results.

If you get [-] points in the quiz, you can get the full monthly payment, and the monthly payment will fluctuate according to the score. At least you can only get half of the monthly payment, and you can get double the monthly payment at the maximum.

With the reward mechanism, everyone's interest in learning has increased a lot.

But it didn't take long for them to be happy. Shangguan Qing announced again that the examination subjects would be increased from one to four, namely medical skills, cooking, embroidery and arithmetic.The exam adopts the credit system. You can designate one major, and your grades will account for [-]% of the credits, and the remaining three subjects will each account for [-]% of the credits.

Through this method, Shangguan Qing began to sum up experience and prepare for mass enrollment in the future.

She said to the mourning girls: "I let you learn it for your own good. If you leave here in the future, at least you will have a craft to support yourself."

"Besides, this girl doesn't support idlers."

After the lecture, Shangguan Qing returned to the inner courtyard, and saw that Zhuqing was guarding the door, so she quickened her pace a lot.

Zhuqing said in a low voice: "Girl, the prince is here."

Shangguan Qing nodded calmly, and stepped into the courtyard. Where she stepped, vitality was injected into the silk thread buried underneath, and everything in the courtyard was imprinted in Shangguan Qing's mind.

This is a new application developed by Shangguan Qing. It uses the characteristics of her vitality to spread the silk thread like a spider's silk. Shangguan Qing uses all her strength to monitor a range of [-] meters. Although it is a bit tasteless, it is better than nothing.

Chu Qianhan was flipping through the sketches Shangguan Qing put on the table in the study.

Those sketches were tools for medical treatment, cooking, and embroidery that Shangguan Qing wanted to order, and one of them had a hand-sewn mechanism that was so ingenious that Chu Qianhan was fascinated by it.

"What are you looking at? Your Highness." Shangguan Qing walked into the study with a smile.

"Every time I see your sketches, I feel very beautiful. Who did you learn these from?"

"Naturally, others can't be jealous."

Chu Qianhan smiled lightly. He liked Shangguan Qing's self-confidence. He used to appreciate it mostly, but now he likes it more.Holding Shangguan Qing's waist, Chu Qianhan kissed Shangguan Qing's lips, and Shangguan Qing returned the passionate kiss.This is a modern way of communication. Chu Qianhan was not used to it at first, but he had to learn to fight back after being attacked a few times. Otherwise, women would go up and men would go down, and the prince's majesty would be irreversible.

After the passionate and deep kiss, Shangguan Qing came out of Chu Qianhan's arms, licked his lips, and called Zhu Qing to come in with tea.

When Zhuqing went out again, Shangguanqing showed Chu Qianhan the Yanyin, and explained the origin of Yanyin.

"Is there something wrong with these salt quotations?" Shangguan Qing asked.

Chu Qianhan checked and said: "No problem, I will arrange for someone to mix out the salt tomorrow. Do you want sea salt or mine salt?"

"It's okay if there is no problem. It's not that I don't trust Xiyue, but the Ma family suffered a big loss a few days ago, and I'm afraid of being tricked."

A few days ago, the volcanic ash transported by the Ma family in the northwest arrived in Beijing. According to the plan, half of it was purchased by the imperial court for the repair of the Temple of Heaven and the Imperial Mausoleum, and the rest was sold out.

But before the Majia caravan arrived, a large amount of "cement" had to enter the market. The effect was the same as that of volcanic ash, and the price was half. The cement immediately occupied the market.

Chu Qianhan made a secret effort, and the Ministry of Industry decided to purchase cement to repair the Temple of Heaven and the Imperial Mausoleum. As a patriotic price, the supply price to the Ministry of Industry was one-fifth of the volcanic ash, and less than half of the market price.

The Ma family caravan lost all their money. Princess Anyuan approached Shangguan Qing aggressively and ordered her to withdraw from the market. She was never allowed to produce cement, and what was sold had to be recycled at a high price.

"Did you take the wrong medicine?" Shangguan Qing's rhetorical question made An Yuan go crazy.

"I am Princess Anyuan, and my father said King Zhenbei." An Yuan moved out of the backstage to fight for her father.

Shangguan Qing rolled her eyes and ordered someone to invite her out.

Thinking of An Yuan's panic-stricken appearance, Shangguan Qing felt uneasy again.

"It's hard to say whether Xiyue has been used."

Chu Qianhan thought for a while and said, "Alright, if you're not in a hurry to spend the money, put away the salt and wait until it's safe to get the salt."

"I'm not short of money now, so I don't need any more." Shangguan Qing tore off the salt and sprinkled it out of the window, letting the colored pieces fly like petals in the wind, falling into the mud and waiting to be turned into soil.

Yan Yin, who could sell ten thousand silver, just went with the wind.

Shangguan Qing took a deep breath and felt relieved. She turned her head and said with a smile, "If it was a ten thousand silver salt, I would be reluctant to tear it off."

"You!"

Chu Qianhan tapped the tip of Shangguan Qing's nose, and pulled her into his arms again. They opened the sketches drawn by Shangguan Qing, and Shangguan Qing began to describe the function of each tool, and completely ignored the matter of Yanyin.

Shangguan Qing picked up a sketch of pliers and said, "This is a hemostatic forceps. It can clamp the exposed blood vessels to stop bleeding and buy time for suturing."

Chu Qianhan listened very carefully. These tools can treat the wounded very well. According to Shangguan Qing's introduction, as long as they have been trained, ordinary people can also perform first aid on the battlefield, which is a very important bonus for improving the combat effectiveness of the army.

Speaking of pliers, Shangguan Qing brought another piece of white paper, mixed clay with module powder on the table, and then drew a strange-shaped pliers on the paper with a simple charcoal pencil sandwiched between wood chips.

Shangguan Qing originally wanted to use graphite to make pencils, but Chu people had no concept of graphite. She described it and found a pile of coal, so she had to give up and plan to look for it later.

"What is this?" Chu Qianhan asked.

"This is forceps. There are nobles in the palace who want to give birth. If I offer this thing, will I get a reward?" Shangguan Qing briefly explained the function of forceps, and looked at Chu Qianhan expectantly.

"Yes." Chu Qianhan nodded heavily.

"Qianhan, if you present the forceps, will the emperor praise your brother and friend?"

"Qing'er." Chu Qianhan's face became serious.

"I'm serious. It's inconvenient for me to see you. You can send it up for me so that no one will be greedy for my credit. I don't ask for anything else. I just ask the emperor to allow me to open a girls' school. After my big house is built, no one will be greedy. Find an excuse to tear it down."

Chu Qianhan gave a thumbs up, the seriousness on his face faded, and he asked curiously, "Have you heard about it?"

"What did you hear?" Shangguan Qing asked suspiciously.

"Didn't you hear that? Anyuan contacted some people in the court to demolish the house in your yard. They said it violated the regulations. The layout of the house is ominous. It is even more ominous to build a house with the mixed soil of the cemetery. Si Tian The old guards are also preparing to participate in your disobedience to women, and the hen wakes up in the morning, which is an obstacle to peace."

Chu Qianhan looked at Shangguan Qing, and asked disappointedly, "Aren't you angry?"

"Why are you angry? I have already guessed that it will be like this."
