Chapter 336 is absolutely enviable!
Although He Guangzheng was arrested and Sun Yue was speechless by the princess, there were still complaints that honeycomb coal was too expensive and the princess held the recipe but refused to make it public.
As soon as Xie Ying heard it, she knew it must be those coal merchants who were causing trouble.
However, she didn't need to personally deal with such a small matter, but the company's shareholders were already anxious.
As a shareholder of the company, you can participate in profit distribution.
The price of honeycomb coal is related to their future profits. How can these people not be anxious?
Xie Ying didn't even have to do anything, Lu Xuan personally pried open He Guangzheng's mouth.
This old man really accepted benefits from the coal merchant. Not only did the other party give him a beautiful concubine, but also gave him calligraphy and paintings by famous people.
However, the calligraphy and paintings are imitations, not the real ones.
This was also intentional on the other party's part.
Although the items are fake, He Guangzheng can sell them at a high price as long as he takes them to designated stores.
Since the other party gave He Guangzheng fake goods, even if it was discovered, the value of the fake goods was not high, so the amount of bribe he received was naturally not much.
Unfortunately, He Guangzheng is not a die-hard like Sun Yue, he is just a coward.
As soon as he was tortured, he confessed everything he had done.
Lu Xuan arrested the coal merchant who had bribed him, interrogated him severely, and after obtaining a confession, he made the matter public.
The discussion in the capital about whether honeycomb coal was expensive soon became less of a concern as another incident occurred.
In the newly built glass factory, colorful colored glass was successfully produced!
Not only that, the glass factory also used colored glaze to burn out the four words "Peace in the World", inlaid them on a plaque, and hung it at the headquarters of Taiping Coal Mine Company.
The company's headquarters is located on the most prosperous street in the capital. It used to be a shop selling tea and snacks, and it occupied a large area.
It is now temporarily converted into the headquarters of Taiping Coal Mine Company.
When the company makes more money in the future, we will find another place to build a high-rise building and officially use it as the company headquarters.
This is a busy area with many pedestrians coming and going.
As soon as the glazed plaque appeared, it immediately attracted the attention and strong shock of the surrounding people.
Some people didn't know what colored glaze was and asked curiously, "What's on that plaque? The colors are so beautiful!"
And those who knew Liuli couldn't believe their eyes at this moment: "That... that looks like Liuli, but it shouldn't be... It's too big!
If this is colored glass, how much silver would it be worth? How could the Taiping Coal Mine Company be so extravagant! "
"Like Liuli? Liuli looks like this? She's so beautiful! No wonder she's so valuable!"
"It shouldn't be glass. The words on the plaque are so big. If it were glass, it would be extremely valuable."
The people were talking about it and telling each other everywhere, which attracted more and more people to come and watch the fun.
"Is that Liuli?"
"Shouldn't it be? Although it looks a bit like it."
"Even if it's not colored glass, this thing should be worth a lot of money. I don't know how the Taiping Coal Mine got it."
There were many coal merchants in the crowd who were jealous.
They were already envious of the Taiping Coal Mine selling honeycomb coal, and now they have put up a plaque like this. Do they want to keep people alive?
Even if you have enough money, you can't be so extravagant, right?
It's so eye-catching!
On the other hand, the eldest princess also brought a box of colored glass into the palace.
Inside there is a colorful glass Ruyi, a glass belt, a glass bottle, and a glass peace locket.
These were the gifts she specially brought to the Empress Dowager, Emperor Taihe, Concubine Jiang and her little nephew.
When the eldest princess entered the palace, Emperor Taihe had already known about the glazed plaque. He was very concerned about it and wanted to see it with his own eyes.
Unfortunately, as the emperor, he could not leave the palace at will. He could only listen to the descriptions of his subordinates and secretly imagine what the plaque looked like.
When he heard that the eldest princess had brought a box into the palace, he immediately became excited.
Upon learning that the eldest princess went directly to the Empress Dowager's Renshou Palace, he was unwilling to wait any longer and went there directly.
When he arrived in the dragon chariot, he saw the eldest princess holding a box in her hand.
Emperor Taihe's eyes lit up, and he immediately strode forward, looking curiously at the box in the eldest princess's hand.
He even asked pretentiously, "What gift did my sister bring for the Queen Mother?"
Queen Mother Zhao also looked over with some anticipation.
The princess smiled and said, "Although Yuan'er is still young, he likes to study those strange things.
I had a sudden idea a while ago and opened a glass factory.
I thought he was just a child playing around, but who knew he would actually come up with something so good, so I brought it into the palace for my mother to see."
The eldest princess spoke very modestly, then slowly opened the box.
There was a colorful glass Ruyi in the box, and a piece of black silk was placed underneath, which made it look even more clear and colorful.
"This...is this Liuli?"
Queen Mother Zhao reached out to touch it in disbelief. She couldn't believe that Situ Yuan could make the colored glaze so gorgeous and dazzling!
And the fine lines on it are simply amazing!
Queen Mother Zhao couldn't believe it: "Did Yuan'er really do this?"
The princess smiled and explained, "Yuan'er is just talking, the real hands-on work is still done by the craftsmen.
But Yuan'er always has some wonderful ideas, and the craftsmen are very skilled, and they are obedient, so they succeeded in making the product."
Emperor Taihe looked at the glazed Ruyi with burning eyes, feeling extremely envious.
But since he was both the emperor and the son, it would be inappropriate for him to ask the empress dowager directly.
I can only think about it secretly and find time to ask Situ Yuan to make another one.
At the same time, he couldn't help but look forward to it. The eldest princess had given a gift to the queen mother, so there was no reason for her to forget his.
What was his gift?
Could it also be a Ruyi ornament?
He looked at the eldest princess expectantly and couldn't help but signal her with his eyes: I'm still standing here!
How could Queen Mother Zhao not see what her son was thinking?
So he quickly smiled and said, "I like this Ruyi very much. Did you bring a gift for your brother? Take it out and let us see it."
The princess had no choice but to ask someone to bring in another box. When she opened it, she found a glass belt inside.
The entire belt is made up of eighteen pieces of colored glass, each piece of which is not only exquisitely shaped but also very bright in color.
If you wear it around your waist, you will definitely be unable to take your eyes off it.
The eldest princess secretly observed Emperor Taihe's expression. Seeing that he was staring at the belt with his eyes shining, she knew that he liked it very much.
Queen Mother Zhao also noticed that Emperor Taihe liked it, so she smiled and suggested: "Try it quickly and let me see if it looks good."
Emperor Taihe originally wanted to try it, but he thought that as the emperor, he must not lose his composure, so he forced himself to hold back.
Now that Queen Mother Zhao had given him an excuse, he immediately nodded, opened his arms, and allowed his personal eunuch to change his belt for him.
He used a white jade belt, which was not only exquisitely crafted but also very valuable.
But after using it for a long time, it is naturally not as attractive as the new glass belt.
The belt was quickly replaced, and Emperor Taihe looked down at it, liking it more and more.
"Yuan'er is very good."
Not only did she create such beautiful glass, but she also knew to give it as a gift to her uncle.
is a good boy.
Emperor Taihe thought with satisfaction, and suddenly thought of a key issue.
He quickly asked the princess, "How are the shares of this glass factory calculated?"
