The Return of the Demon

The fourth prince looked at Ning Chen, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "The seventh princess of Gaoli must be extremely ugly, right?"

"Huh?" Ning Chen looked at him in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

The fourth prince said: "If she is very beautiful, you can leave her to me."

Ning Chen's mouth twitched, "What do you mean by that?"

"I mean, if she is beautiful, you will definitely keep her for yourself, how can you give her to me?"

Ning Chen's forehead was black, if he hadn't seen that the other party was a prince, he would have scolded the other party for being mentally ill.

Ning Chen said speechlessly: "First, although I have never seen this seventh princess, I heard that she is very beautiful.

Second, the fourth prince of Nanyue, Kang Luo, asked her for marriage. If she was extremely ugly, would Kang Luo ask for marriage?

Third, I am the Grand Xuan Prince Consort. No matter how beautiful this seventh princess is, I can't marry her."

The fourth prince's eyes lit up slightly.

"So this seventh princess of Gaoli is not an ugly monster?"

Ning Chen was speechless.

"She is a princess of the royal family after all, how ugly can she be?"

The fourth prince scratched his head, "That's true! Hahaha... I knew you wouldn't hurt me, so I brought two jars of wine to thank you."

Ning Chen's mouth twitched, and he snorted, "It's true that the mother is the one who gives you milk, keep it for yourself and drink it slowly!"

Ning Chen couldn't help but raise his middle finger at him, then turned and walked away!

"Don't leave, have a couple of drinks?"

Ning Chen ignored him at all.

The fourth prince shrugged and looked at Gu Yichun next to him, "Your name is... Gu Yichun?"

"Yes!"

"Drink with me."

"This...Fourth Prince, please forgive me, I'm on duty and can't drink."

The fourth prince pouted, "Forget it, I'll find a girl from the Music Bureau to drink with."

The fourth prince happily walked away with two jars of wine.

In fact, it is not surprising that the fourth prince thought so, because Ning Chen was surrounded by beauties who were chosen from thousands of people, and there were also extremely noble people such as the Empress of Wu and the Saint of Xiliang.

If the Seventh Princess of Gaoli was outstanding in appearance, Ning Chen would have taken her into his room long ago. How could he leave her to others?

Any normal person would think so.

.......

In the following days, Emperor Xuan's health was getting better and better.

Perhaps it was God's eyes that although General Chen's health had not improved much, his spirits had always been good.

Ning Chen took time to go to the Ministry of Revenue.

Ning Chen was ready to show his strength and make a lot of money from those dignitaries and noble families.

He sent someone to transport a batch of glass from the warehouse and took people to install it in Emperor Xuan's Yangxin Palace.

After the glass was installed, the windows were bright and clean.

Emperor Xuan could see the scenery outside while lying on the bed.

At night, just draw the curtain.

The overweight minister who came to the palace to pay his respects to Emperor Xuan was amazed when he saw it.

It was bright, transparent, and windproof.

The most important thing is that someone is eavesdropping, and it can be seen at a glance.

The ministers in the court, who doesn't have some tricks, when they are talking behind closed doors, the most fearful thing is to be eavesdropped by others!

In addition, Ning Chen asked all the fairy dew wine shops in the capital to replace the glass.

Before, Ning Chen asked Jin Qingsheng to secretly buy a lot of shops in the city.

Now, these shops have started to decorate in full swing.

These shops have a unified name, called daily necessities, and they are still the signboards of the court.

Toothpaste, toothbrushes, and fine salt will be on sale soon.

Ning Chen set the price very high.

Scarcity makes things expensive, and there are not many stocks now.

Therefore, Ning Chen plans to cut a wave of rich people's leeks first.

Now a pound of salt on the market is about two hundred to three hundred coins, and it is still coarse salt of poor quality.

Gold, silver, salt, and iron are all important strategic materials, the foundation of the country, and private individuals are not allowed to sell... Salt is a luxury for ordinary people.

Ning Chen sells fine salt, and directly prices it at three taels of silver per pound. You can buy it if you want.

He plans to cut the leeks of the rich first, and then lower the price of fine salt and the price of coarse salt after a while, so that the people can also afford coarse salt.

Ning Chen also thought of a bad idea.

That is to take advantage of the rich people's competitive spirit.

He called Li Hanru, Ji Mingchen and others and held a meeting quietly.

That day, after the morning court was over, Li Hanru and others walked out and chatted.

Emperor Xuan was ill, and the country had to run, so the morning court was presided over by the prince.

For ordinary trivial matters, the prince made his own decisions.

If the prince was unsure, he could just ask Emperor Xuan for advice.

"Lord Li, if you have time at noon, how about going to my house for a drink?"

"No, your house doesn't even have a piece of glass, the room is pitch black, it affects my mood... How about coming to my house? I sent someone to buy a few kilograms of fine salt yesterday, and the food I made is delicious."

"Shame on you... I'm busy these days, I'll send someone to buy glass right away... You must come to my house next time."

"Okay, no problem, then let's go to my house today."

"Lord Zhang, wait for me... Why are you walking so fast?"

"I have to buy a few cans of toothpaste. I sent someone to buy it yesterday but couldn't... I heard that there are new products today. That toothpaste is really magical. After using it, your breath will be fresh all day long."

"Really? Then I'll buy a few cans too. I didn't buy them last time."

Li Hanru and others looked at each other and covered their faces silently.

It's so embarrassing!

It's a disgrace to be forced to publicize as a senior official of the court!

But there is no way, this is the task assigned by Ning Chen.

These words were written by Ning Chen in black and white, and they had to memorize them... What kind of GG words are these!

They really couldn't open their mouths.

So, these things were handed over to the people below.

Looking at the exaggerated body language and stiff lines of several officials, it was simply unbearable to watch.

Fortunately, they didn't act by themselves, otherwise they would have lost all their face.

Although it was a bit embarrassing, the effect was significant.

After a few days, a few words were spread in the city. If your family doesn't have glass installed, you are embarrassed to invite relatives and friends to dinner.

What? Your family doesn't use fine salt? Then your family is too poor and you are not qualified to say that you are a famous family.

What's the taste in your mouth? Buy some toothpaste quickly, otherwise the women in the brothel will not want to do business with you.

For a time, glass, fine salt, and toothpaste were in short supply.

Ning Chen and Emperor Xuan naturally made a lot of money.

Next, Ning Chen began to make arrangements to sell these things to other states and counties.

Not only that, when the Gaoli Kingdom delegation comes, we must strongly recommend these things to them and open up the sales channels of Gaoli Kingdom.

That day, Ning Chen entered the palace.

Arrived at the entrance of the Yangxin Palace.

Emperor Xuan saw Ning Chen through the glass.

"This glass is really a good thing!"

Emperor Xuan asked Eunuch Quan to go out and bring Ning Chen in.

Emperor Xuan's health is getting better and better, and now he can walk slowly on his own.

Ning Chen came in, "Your son greets the emperor!"

"Get up!" Emperor Xuan raised his hand and smiled, "You came just in time, and I was really going to send someone to find you."

Ning Chen was slightly startled, and only heard Emperor Xuan say: "The Showa Kingdom sent a delegation to negotiate, and they were blocked in the East Territory... What do you think about this?"
