“Brother Wang, since His Highness is unwilling, there must be a reason. Are you here to upset His Highness this time?” Qin Mu said lazily.Compared to the Wang family, the Qin family was closer to Xiao Ming. However, the incident in Cangzhou had severely weakened the Qin family, and they harbored some resentment toward Xiao Ming.But this resentment could only be buried deep in their hearts, as the incident had shown them that Prince Qi no longer needed to cater to their whims.“Brother Qin, why would you say that? I’m here to make His Highness happy,” Wang Shijie said, clapping his hands. A servant from the Wang family entered, carrying a box.Wang Shijie continued, “Your Highness, this is a gift from my father. We hope you will accept it.”The servant opened the box, revealing sheets of paper filled with writing.Xiao Ming glanced at them and was slightly surprised. He said, “These are land deeds.”“Exactly, Your Highness. These are land deeds. My father learned that Your Highness s

The emergence of glass in this era was undoubtedly a highly profitable industry, and its potential for immense profit made even Xiao Ming unable to remain calm.For this reason, he entrusted the management rights of glass to his Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce.However, if Xiao Ming monopolized the glass trade, merchants from other regions would naturally be displeased. They might cause trouble when operating in their own territories. Therefore, Xiao Ming proposed a plan to auction off the sales rights for glass after six months.This way, he could not only secure the first wave of profits but also appease these merchants.A few days later, the glass exhibition Xiao Ming had promised officially took place in the East Market. All the glass produced by the workers in recent days was put on display.Xiao Ming even dispatched soldiers from the Qingzhou army to maintain order at the event.Merchants were already accustomed to the new terminology emerging in Qingzhou. Once they understood the

The merchants stared at Xiao Ming, and after his words fell, there was a brief silence.Finally, Ding Wanquan was the first to speak. He said, “Your Highness said that you cannot easily agree, which means there is still a chance for us. We hope Your Highness can clarify.”“Please clarify, Your Highness,” the other merchants echoed in unison.Xiao Ming glanced at Ding Wanquan. This old man was indeed good at reading people, which was why he had amassed such a fortune. However, Xiao Ming wasn’t someone who could be easily fooled.“You’ve all seen the glass. Its value is immeasurable, and I’m sure you’ve already formed your own estimates. If it were to be sold, it would undoubtedly cause a sensation across the Great Yu Empire and amass a vast fortune,” Xiao Ming said.The merchants exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.Xiao Ming continued, “The production cost of glass is extremely high. Handing it over to you now would result in significant losses for me.”The statement about the h

In the dim light of the evening, the merchants who had come to visit Xiao Ming gradually departed.Xiao Ming had instructed Luluo to hand over the recorded donations to Li Kaiyuan. These merchants had only made verbal promises, and whether they would fulfill them remained uncertain.However, Xiao Ming wasn’t worried about them breaking their promises. The introduction of the membership system had stripped these merchants of any excuse to use the names of feudal lords or princes to curry favor.Through this system, Xiao Ming had not only standardized the status and code of conduct for merchants within the chamber but also secured substantial benefits for his fief.The news of the membership system spread rapidly among the merchants.Eager to secure early access to the distribution rights for glass, many merchants were willing to donate generously to the chamber in exchange for priority access to goods.Those without sufficient funds could only watch enviously, hoping to accumulate enou

“Precisely for this reason, I want you to establish a cavalry unit. At least for now, the best way to deal with cavalry is still cavalry.”Historically, cavalry was not phased out until the advent of mechanized forces. Therefore, in Xiao Ming’s view, the army would need to focus on building a strong cavalry unit for a long time to come.Lu Fei nodded. No matter how excellent infantry formations were, they could only be used for passive defense. Cavalry, on the other hand, was an offensive force, essential for its flexibility, mobility, surprise attacks, and pursuit. He said, “If that’s the case, then a thousand warhorses are still too few.”“I understand. Next, I plan to smuggle horses from the grasslands to try and build a qualified cavalry unit,” Xiao Ming said, frowning slightly.Even in the age of firearms, the role of cavalry was irreplaceable.“Smuggle?” Lu Fei was taken aback. Then he said, “Your Highness, are you not aware that the barbarians have now strictly forbidden the gr

“Now, the green ore in front of you is called green vitriol. I’ve already taught you about this before. Previously, we didn’t have the experimental instruments to work with it, but now that we have these chemical tools, today I will demonstrate how to use green vitriol to produce sulfuric acid. After this experiment, you will be responsible for the production of sulfuric acid,” Xiao Ming said.By now, these individuals had mastered the basics of chemistry. In Xiao Ming’s view, they had at least the equivalent of a middle school level of chemical knowledge, which was sufficient to apply this knowledge to production.The purpose of knowledge is its application. Ultimately, this knowledge must be put to practical use.“Yes, Your Highness,” replied Lu Tong and the others with confidence. Three to four months had passed since they began their studies. During this time, they had been free from worries about food, clothing, and shelter, allowing them to focus entirely on learning. Xiao Ming’

“Forget it, forget it. If she wants to come, just make sure to receive her properly when she arrives.”Xiao Ming let out a deep sigh.This Princess Pingyang was neither Xiao Ming’s half-sister nor his elder sister, but rather his aunt—Xiao Wenxuan’s biological younger sister.Xiao Wenxuan doted on his young sister to an extreme degree, almost to the point of indulgence.As a result, Princess Pingyang had grown up spoiled and became utterly lawless in Chang’an. Especially after her consort passed away, her reputation for beauty became well known to all.She associated with people ranging from first-rank officials to street vendors, but with one common requirement—anyone in her circle had to be handsome.Rumor had it that she even kept male concubines in her residence. In an era like this, Princess Pingyang could be considered a pioneer among women.It was precisely because of her influence that the women of Chang’an were somewhat more open-minded compared to those elsewhere, which spok

Qi Prince’s Residence.Princess Pingyang stepped down from her carriage and, upon seeing the scenery within the prince’s residence, frowned slightly.In Chang’an, she was accustomed to luxurious mansions. Compared to those, the Qi Prince’s residence was indeed rather shabby.The residence lacked the auspicious qilin statues at its entrance, the plaque above the gate wasn’t gilded, and even the door knockers were rusted—details that seemed unbefitting of a prince’s status.Noticing Princess Pingyang’s unusual expression, Xiao Ming asked, “Auntie, is something wrong?”“Ming’er, you’ve suffered these five years in Qingzhou. The Emperor is too harsh. No matter what, you’re still a prince. How could he be so biased? When I return to Chang’an, I will definitely speak up for you,” Princess Pingyang said, feigning concern for Xiao Ming.Had Xiao Ming not known his aunt’s true nature, he might have been moved. However, Princess Pingyang was notorious for her acting skills, and he wasn’t about

“Fifteen million taels!”Princess Pingyang nearly jumped to her feet in shock.Xiao Ming nodded silently.Her expression stiffened for a moment before Princess Pingyang forced a smile and said, “I didn’t realize that the Prince of Qi is now so wealthy.”“Compared to you, Auntie, I’m still far behind. I’ve heard that your assets in Chang’an are quite substantial,” Xiao Ming flattered her. “So, what do you think about this matter…?”“Forget it. Since you’ve already made agreements with so many merchants, I can’t force you to break your word. But could you prepare some glassware for me to bring back to the Emperor and the consorts?”Initially, she had wanted to secure the glass-making technique for herself. However, after hearing Xiao Ming’s explanation, she was unwilling to risk offending so many people.After all, Xiao Ming had already taken their silver. If this matter were to fall entirely on her shoulders, she would have a hard time dealing with those people in Chang’an. While Xiao

“Your Highness, this man has been secretly staring at you throughout the banquet. Such disrespect is unacceptable!”The sudden outburst caught everyone off guard. It was only then that Wang Chengchou realized what had happened. He quickly stood up and apologized, “Your Highness, my son meant no harm. It’s just that Your Highness’s beauty is unparalleled, and he was momentarily captivated.”Princess Pingyang chuckled upon hearing this. “You certainly know how to flatter. Since everyone here is a prominent family from Qingzhou, who might you be?”“I am Wang Chengchou, and this is my son, Wang Shijie,” Wang Chengchou replied respectfully.The reputation of Princess Pingyang was well-known to him. In the Great Yu Empire, few dared to provoke her.Princess Pingyang’s expression shifted slightly, and she nodded gently. “So you’re the head of the Wang family, one of Qingzhou’s great clans. Very well. Since I’m here in Qingzhou for leisure, it would be inauspicious to spill blood. Ouyang Mu,
