The Awakening of Cannon Fodder

In fact, if you just want these women to support themselves, it would be good to embroider and play with clothes, jewelry, rouge and gouache. This is also the best way out for most women at present.The money obtained can be used to buy fields and land for long-term stability.

But this world is different from the previous ones. The reason why these girls have such encounters is not because of their bad luck, but because this world is too harsh on women.So He Yu not only wants them to live well, but also hopes that they can wake up and realize that all this is wrong.What they want to fight is not fate, but this cannibalistic system.

What's more, if there is no strong support, that kind of comfortable, calm days may not be able to last for too long.

It is the original sin that a few weak women hold wealth and land in their hands.Without the backing of the powerful and powerful, it would be effortless to take what was in their hands.He Yu couldn't stay and protect them all the time, so they had to learn to protect themselves.

Although she can't do much, planting a fire is always enough.

And to build a force that can protect themselves, they are destined to live a harder life.So after moving to the suburbs of Beijing, everyone became busy under her arrangement.

The embroidery work has not stopped for the time being, and it will be their only source of income in a short time, so naturally it cannot be stopped.But except for the two who were really skilled, everyone else was assigned to do other things.

First of all, He Yu took the initiative and took back a dozen orphans from the surrounding counties, all of them girls, aged between five and eight.The younger ones can't afford to support them temporarily, but the older ones can already find their own way out.After these people were brought back, He Yu specially arranged for two people to teach them, mainly learning simple reading, writing and calculation, and learning a little etiquette along the way.

As for the rest, she arranged for them to dig sand by the river.

As for He Yu herself, after purchasing a lot of things, she locked herself in the back yard and did not allow anyone to disturb her.

To build a power, you need money and someone with weapons.Weapons can be put aside for the time being, and people can also develop slowly in the future. Money is the top priority.And He Yu's plan was to burn glass.

In this era, there is already a process of firing glass, but there are more impurities and not so pure.And what He Yu has to do is to improve some techniques on this basis to produce superior quality glass.

And it wasn't difficult for her.

Many things cannot be done, just because the current technology has not yet developed to that extent, and is limited by the environment and conditions.For example, the flame temperature is not up to standard or the firing environment is not clean enough, but these are not problems for He Yu.

She has mastered craftsmanship far beyond this era, and she also has spiritual power to assist her, so some harsh conditions can be fulfilled.

After retreating for a few days, and after preparing the necessary things, He Yu led people to dig the kiln, ready to try to make the first kiln glass.

No one doubted whether the glass could be fired.Because in their eyes, He Yu is a fairy descended from the world, so naturally there is nothing she can't do in the world.If it can be done, it can be done.

During the whole process of making glass, He Yu took Chen Yulan, Sister Tong and Susu with her, and did not hide all the recipes and techniques from them.When she leaves in the future, they will have to worry about things here, so He Yu doesn't feel the need to hide anything.

On the day when the glass from the first kiln was fired, everyone was so surprised that they could not speak when they faced the glassware on the table.

What He Yu burned was a complete set of daily necessities, including cups, plates and dishes, which were crystal clear and dazzling under the sunlight.The most eye-catching thing is a set of glass tea sets, including a teapot, eight cups, and a long-necked glass vase more than one foot high.Big pieces are not easy to burn, let alone such flawless ones?

Although these people here are suffering, they all come from high families and have extraordinary vision, so they naturally know the value of these things.

Chen Yulan stroked a glass bowl lightly, and sighed, "I'm afraid that such a good thing doesn't even exist in the palace?"

These words made them panic.

As the saying goes, it is a crime to conceive a jade. If something is too good, it sometimes burns your hands.If people outside know that they can burn such good glass, it may cause disaster.These girls have all endured hardships, and the word "cautious" has been engraved in their bones, and they dare not forget it for a moment.

"Almost." He Yu said, "So these two things, we can't keep them, we have to try to send them to the palace."

Everyone can't help but nod.They have no backer now, if they can get support from the palace, then they don't have to be restrained in doing things in the future, and they can be more comfortable.And after passing Minglu, there is no need to worry about being exposed.

Even if everyone in the world knows their origins, as long as there is a word from the palace, there is nothing to worry about.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Sister Tong shook her head and said, "The Inner Palace couldn't even make such a good thing, but we did it. I'm afraid that when the time comes, the craftsmanship will have to be handed in."

The inner palace has gathered the most outstanding craftsmen in the world, and the things they make are naturally the best in the world.Now that the folks have burned this kind of thing, they naturally don't want to see another object for favor and credit, so they must try to take this craft as their own.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't help frowning.

"We can partner with the royal family to do this business." He Yu glanced at Susu and said, "[-]% of the annual profit goes to the internal treasury, and we only keep [-]%. In this way, I think the palace will be willing to solve it for us. this trouble."

Although the royal family has a wide world, the national treasury and the internal treasury are still different.This is tantamount to the emperor's private money. If you don't do anything, you can get an extra income. How can you disagree?

Of course, for this condition to be negotiated, someone with sufficient status must come forward to negotiate peace for them.

"Whoever you are, if you can find a suitable lobbyist and come to the palace for us to complete this matter, she can get half of the glass profit." He Yu said to everyone Yes, but his eyes only look at Xiang Susu.

Everyone was silent.If they had such ability, knew such a powerful person and could control each other, they would not be sent to Miaohua Nunnery.

Sister Tong pursed her lips, moved her toes, and was about to give it a try when she heard Susu say, "Leave it to me."

Susu has always been very low-key, even though she has an outstanding appearance, she still looks inconspicuous among everyone.At first, Sister Tong was a little puzzled about how He Yu would make her follow the whole process, but now she has some understanding.This little girl doesn't show her mountains or dew her water, so I'm afraid she has a lot of ability.

He Yu was also unambiguous, directly took out the box, filled a table of glassware, and asked Susu to take it away.

After sending her to the door, He Yu said, "Then we'll wait here for your good news."

Susu glanced at her, but didn't answer, turned around and got into the car.Seeing this, He Yu couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.They all knew that after this time, "Jiang Susu" might not appear again.

Susu's actions were very fast. In the afternoon, a servant from the palace came to inform them that they would go to the inner mansion to sign the contract in the morning.

Early the next morning, He Yu took Chen Yulan and Sister Tong to the inner palace.Manager Zheng, who was next to the emperor, received them personally, and treated them very kindly. Not only did he not intend to test the firing process, but the terms of the contract he presented were all in accordance with He Yu's previous requirements.So in less than 10 minutes, the contract was signed.

Manager Zheng then said, "Your Majesty is very curious about the person who can burn such good glass. Please come with our family to face the saint, three girls."

There are so many people who donate good things every year, but few people can be summoned by His Majesty. Naturally, there are other rewards when they meet. It is no wonder that Director Zheng is so polite.

The emperor was a slightly fat old man. Although he summoned them, he actually just kowtowed and asked a few words according to the procedure.He Yu's answer was respectful and standard. There were no surprises in the whole process, but there were no surprises either, and they were sent out soon.There was also a large box of rewards that came with it, and it seemed to be enough to exchange for that box of glass.

But since he got such a good opportunity as Mian Sheng, He Yu naturally wouldn't miss it.When Manager Zheng sent it out, she inquired about the emperor's preferences.

It stands to reason that this kind of thing should not be asked, and the emperor's preferences cannot be known at will.However, He Yu's questions were very general. Most of them were about what flowers, patterns, and colors she liked. Mr. Zheng guessed that she was targeting the target when she wanted to burn glass, so he also revealed a few words.

When I came out, the palace was busy decorating everywhere, and even the hanging palace lanterns were changed again.When He Yu asked, she realized that it would be Qianqiu, the empress, in a while, and the preparations had already begun.

Now that I know it, I have to make a statement and prepare a birthday gift when I go back.

Talking along the way, I got closer to Mr. Zheng, and He Yu asked him about his own preferences, and promised to burn a set of glass for him when he was free, and put it in his private house. Mr. Zheng smiled happily.

At this moment, a small sedan chair came towards this side from a distance, surrounded by many people, Manager Zheng quickly led them back to the side.

When the sedan chair passed by, He Yu turned to take a look, and couldn't help asking, "Boss Zheng, whose sedan chair is that?"

It seems that they came in from outside the palace, but you must know that even the important ministers of the prime minister, after entering the imperial city, they can only walk without the emperor's grace.Being able to travel in a sedan chair in the palace is itself a manifestation of identity.

Director Zheng said in a low voice, "That is the sedan chair of Princess Jieyou. Her Royal Highness often enters the palace to accompany her. His Majesty takes pity on her frailty and allows her to take the sedan chair in the palace."

Princess Jieyou, it turned out to be her.

The author has something to say: Your friend [Jiang Susu] is offline.

A stranger [Princess Jieyou] added you as a friend, do you agree?
