Eyeing like a tiger, he moves frequently on the border. If he enters the border unpreparedly, the outside of the city will be in danger. There are also thieves and bandits that cannot be ignored. Although Ming Yu wiped out Song Qingfu's team and had a deterrent effect on Liangzhou bandits, there is no guarantee that there will be no bandits jumping over the wall in a hurry. In Liangcheng, at least it would be safer, so Mo Jiang told Qingping not to let the prince act alone, and if he had to go out of the city, he must be notified and he would make arrangements.
Originally, Mo Jiang was supposed to guard Ming Yu every step of the way, but Ming Yu really didn't have enough manpower, and the guard battalion needed to be supervised. Recently, a new batch of young and strong men from the village came to the guard camp for training. So Mo Jiang couldn't draw his hand for the time being, so he could only let Qingping restrain Ming Yu and prevent him from leaving the city.
Originally, Ming Yu didn't want to cause trouble to Mo Jiang and the others, so it's not impossible to stay in the palace. See if he stays here all winter? However, there is something important to go out today.
Ming Yu threw a candied fruit into his mouth, and jokingly said with Erlang's legs up, "Qingping, you say you, you talk about Commander Mo all day long, tell me, do you have any ideas?"
Qingping was taken aback for a moment, then her face flushed with embarrassment, the master is good at everything, but he has no one to tell the truth. She stomped her feet and said angrily, "My lord! Don't talk nonsense. Who is the leader? How can he be dragged on slaves at will? If it is spread out, it will not be a joke? The four books and five classics of the lord yesterday, the holy It seems that the ancestral training has not been copied, right? Is it okay for the servants to go and talk to Mr. Zhou later?"
Mr. Zhou is the teacher assigned by the emperor to Ming Yu, he came to Liangcheng with Ming Yu, lived in the palace, supervised and taught Ming Yu to study every day.
Hearing Mr. Zhou's name, Ming Yu's expression changed, and he hurriedly begged for mercy, "Ahem! Good Qingping, I'm just talking about it, I can't take it seriously. It's okay, it's okay, I'll give you something later as a gift How about an apology?"
Qingping has not calmed down yet, so she doesn't plan to talk to him, and Ming Yu is also mean, it's over now, it took a lot of effort to coax him.
He ordered people to prepare the chariots and horses, because he was only going around the city, so he specially ordered the light chariots to be simple. But no matter how streamlined it is, the prince's guard is indispensable.
The most important thing for Ming Yu to go out today is to visit the craftsman's workshop. The craftsman's visit is a special place for craftsmen to produce and experiment. When he first came to Liangcheng, he was placed in the palace, but the palace was too small to be able to use it. After he settled down completely, Ming Yu simply set up a craftsman's workshop and designated a place in the west of the city for resettlement.
Because of the good news from the craftsman's visit, saying that the glass business has made progress, Ming Yu decided to go and have a look today.
After getting out of the carriage, Huang Lao had already led the people to wait at the door, and everyone’s faces were beaming. When they saw Ming Yu, Huang Lao surrounded him after saluting, and said happily: "My lord, we have made a The glass is crystal clear and spotless, the villain has never seen such a miraculous thing."
Ming Yu was also happy in his heart. After waiting for so long, his painstaking efforts were not in vain. The production cost of this glass is low. If it is released, it will be rare and expensive. It will definitely lead to a wave of luxury goods. As long as it is marketed properly, Being sought after by the world, is he still afraid of lack of money
As for marketing, hehe! Who in the world is more skilled than him? With the endorsement of the emperor's father, it's hard to think whether this glass will be popular.

"My lord! Please look, this is what you call a glass mirror." Huang Lao took out a box and handed it to Ming Yu with both hands respectfully.
The box was luxuriously carved. Ming Yu took it and opened it, and saw a mirror wrapped in layers of silk brocade. The round and small piece was inlaid with exquisite wooden frames by the craftsmen, and the back was carved with a generous and simple pattern. I have to say that the craftsmanship of the craftsmen is indeed incomparably pure. At first glance, it looks exquisite and luxurious, which is very good. It is indeed made according to his ideas.
Ming Yu grabbed it and scared the craftsmen on the side. You know, this thing called a mirror cost them a lot of hard work, and this mirror is really exquisite and exquisite, and it is clearer than a bronze mirror. bright and clean. The only shortcoming is that they cannot be knocked and bumped, and they are easy to break. They are afraid of being broken, so they take care of each one carefully.
Ming Yu's careless actions really made their hearts go up in their throats, they were afraid that Ming Yu would accidentally bump the mirror. But thinking about it, they were just worrying about it. The mirror was originally proposed by the prince for them to make. Therefore, the prince is the most clear about the performance and function of the mirror.
Ming Yu held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and he was also amazed in his heart, but what he was amazed was not the mirror itself, but the craftsmanship of the craftsmen. This kind of carving is complicated, simple and elegant, and it can be sold at a high price based on this craftsmanship alone. This is because everyone's values are different. Now people are amazed by the incomparable mirror, but Ming Yu is used to the mirror, but appreciates the beauty of hand-carving.
Mingyu looked at it for a while, then pulled Qingping over, and handed the mirror to her, "See if you like this mirror, if you like it, I'll give it to you." It's agreed to give someone something as an apology, and it doesn't count if you can't talk In other words, if Qingping can be favored, it would be even better to supervise her own learning in the future. The abacus in Ming Yu's heart was crackling.
Unprepared, Qingping took the fairy-like thing, and was frightened all of a sudden, not daring to move at all. She had already seen the magic of this mirror just behind the prince, but the prince suddenly threw it at her, which caught her off guard.
Not only her, but the people around were frightened by Ming Yu's actions. They all knew that Ming Yu was approachable to everyone and had no pretensions. Giving it to a maidservant somewhat made them overwhelmed.
Their appearance amused Ming Yu, and smiled at Qing Ping who dared not move: "Don't worry, as long as it's not bumped, it's not that easy to break."
Only then did Qingping come back to her senses, "My lord, this... this servant is not worth it."
"Whatever is useful or not, since it is given to you, you can take it, even if it is broken, it will be fine, then ten or eight can be played with you." Ming Yu is also grateful for Qingping's dedication for so many years Serving and caring, he has always been generous to his own people, not to mention Qingping is the person who has followed him the longest and is the most trustworthy.
Ming Yu's words made Qingping's heart skip a beat, His Highness is already a prince, why is it so unreliable? For such a precious thing, she can play with ten or eight of them. Was this intentional to scare her
Seeing that Qingping's face turned pale with fright, Ming Yu smiled and said, "Why are you panicking? If you can make one of this thing, you can make countless more in the future. It's nothing at all."
Everyone took a deep breath. They believed in the prince's words. Huang Lao said with a smile: "What the prince said is that since we can make the first one, we will be able to make more in the future."
This mirror can only be made by the prince and under the guidance of the prince. However, they have already mastered the technology, and when they do more and become more proficient in the future, they will naturally be able to make more and better ones. The so-called "one reason is all right", in the future they will be able to make other good things such as glasses, glass bottles, glass plates, etc., which are not much better than crystal glass.
Ming Yu nodded, "That's right. Don't be afraid of failure. You must be bold and innovative, give full play to your research spirit, and make better and more useful things in the future."
Everyone promised, and if the prince explained it, they would work hard to complete it.
Ming Yu didn't want to put too much pressure on them, so he changed the subject and said, "By the way, can your clairvoyance be made of glass mirrors?"
Because of the matter of clairvoyance, General Wei kept looking for him. He only hoped that Mingyu would find a solution for him. Xie Yixiu used the crystal glass bestowed by the emperor to ask Mingyu to make one for him. Yes.
He looked really greedy, but he didn't have crystal glass, so he fell in love with Ming Yu's one. Today he came to Ming Yu to borrow it for two days, and tomorrow he came to Ming Yu to borrow it for half a month. Ming Yu was really impatient. , I told him to wait until he made a new one here, and asked him to pay for it and buy it back.
Knowing that Ming Yu could still make clairvoyance, General Wei was overjoyed, since he said he could buy it with money, then he would be willing to pay no matter how much money it was worth.
Now that it's all over, General Wei comes to ask Ming Yu every now and then, when will clairvoyance be ready? His money has already been prepared, and he is waiting for Ming Yu to fulfill his promise.
There is really no other way, but let the craftsmen make the clairvoyance first as long as they make the glass, and let the general Wei be sent away first. Several months have passed now, and Ming Yu ran away when he saw General Wei. If he had known that he would not be so cheap, he would have spoken out in advance.
Fortunately, now that the glass is manufactured, as long as it can be given to General Wei
