"Thank you, Your Majesty. I wonder what your Majesty's orders are?"

Zhu Cihong looked at his loyal subordinates and said:

"In ten days, I will go on a personal expedition. Jin Yiwei and Dongchang must strengthen supervision. They must not wrongly accuse good people, let alone let go of a bad person. If you encounter something that cannot be solved, you can discuss it with Sun Chuanting, and we must ensure the stability of the capital."

The two of them hurriedly bowed and saluted:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never let any problems arise in the capital."

Zhu Cixiang nodded and gave each of them a Shangfang sword:

"The safety of the palace cannot be ignored. The princess and the prince have to leave the palace frequently. Safety must be ensured. If you see this sword, if I come in person, you can kill it first and then show it. Remember not to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Do you understand?"

Zhu Cixi directly delegated power. If someone dared to cause trouble, the two of them would hold swords as if they were the emperor himself. Who would dare not to obey?

The two people hurriedly prostrated themselves on the ground, stretched out their hands, and respectfully took Shang Fang's sword:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust. I will never let you down."

Zhu Cixiang waved his hand:

"Without any courtesy, let's go!"

"In compliance with the order, I retire!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will resign!"

As the boss of the royal group, the princess cannot stay in the palace all the time. Not only does she have to leave the palace frequently, but she also often leaves the city and the capital.

The Royal Group has many monopolized industries, which will inevitably touch the interests of the gentry and nobles. Don't forget that the Ming Dynasty and its emperor fell into the water and died.

Zhu Cixiang was mainly worried that some forces would attack the princess in his absence. With the protection of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, Zhu Cixiang felt much more at ease.

In the past, King Ding and King Yong basically fixed two routes: leaving the palace and going to the Royal Academy of Sciences, and returning to the palace from the Royal Academy of Sciences.

Things are different now. In order to allow them to colonize the sea in the future, Zhu Cixiang asked them to go out of the city frequently for inspections. The safety of the two princes with no experience must also be guaranteed...

"Your Majesty, the Queen is here."

"Summon!"

After the two left, they heard that the emperor had another imperial chariot to march in person, and Queen Shen Yunying came to Qianqing Palace.

"Concubine, I have met His Majesty!"

Just as Shen Yunying stepped forward to greet her, Zhu Cixiang reached out and pulled her into his arms...

After a moment of tenderness, Zhu Cixi said in her ear:

"Come with me to see the princess, and I'll spend the night with you..."

"Um!"

Shen Yunying's pretty face turned red with embarrassment, she slowly stood up and straightened her somewhat messy clothes, and then helped Zhu Cixiang tidy up her dragon robe, before the two of them headed to Kunning Palace.

Kunning Palace was originally the palace where the queen lived. Zhu Cixiang was often absent. Shen Yunying felt that such a big palace was a bit lonely, so she asked Princess Kunxing to live in Kunning Palace and move out after giving birth to a baby.

The two came to Kunning Palace, and the maid in front of the door hurriedly came forward to pay their respects:

"See the Emperor and Queen."

Zhu Cixiang waved his hand:

"No gifts, please take me to see the princess."

The palace maid hurriedly bowed again:

"Replying to your Majesty, the princess is not here. She seems to have gone to the glass factory."

"ah……"

The two were stunned for a moment, then Shen Yunying looked at Zhu Cixiang and whispered:

"Your Majesty, I also want to see the glass factory..."

Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly:

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

The two turned around and left. Zhu Cihong went back to change into civilian clothes, asked the eunuch to bring two horses, and then went straight to the glass factory.

The glass factory was built and put into operation a few years ago. It mainly produces glass cups and various glass mirrors, as well as some artworks, and of course also produces door and window glass.

Although it has only been in production for half a year, it has already become a major taxpayer of the Royal Group.

There were very few glass products in the late Ming Dynasty, and only very wealthy families could afford them. Officials and nobles were currently the big users.

Decades ago, glass came to the Ming Dynasty by boat. Because the transportation cost was too high, it was considered a luxury product in the Ming Dynasty. A mirror was worth 20 taels of silver.

After the Royal Group opened a glass factory, the cost price of mirrors was less than one dragon coin.

Production is limited, and demand almost exceeds supply, especially mirrors and teacups, which have now become standard equipment for wealthy and powerful people.

The glass factory is about five kilometers away from the imperial city. The war horse is galloping forward, and the glass factory is coming soon.

The glass factory is surrounded by high walls, with only one gate on the front. Four soldiers with flintlock rifles stand in front of the gate.

It is difficult for ordinary people to enter the glass factory. Even the purchasers cannot enter. They all order in the showroom.

The purpose of this is to prevent theft, not to prevent someone from stealing glass products, but to prevent someone from stealing the glass production formula.

The glass factory operates in a streamlined manner, and workers' wages are not low. With incentives, the salary is more than four dragon coins a month.

One month's salary is equivalent to more than four taels of silver in the past. It is paid on time every month. This salary is higher than that of recruits who go to war.

As soon as the two war horses arrived at the gate, they were immediately stopped by the guards:

"You two, stop there. No idlers are allowed in this important factory area. Please turn around and go back."

Zhu Cihong and Shen Yunying jumped off their horses, and Shen Yunying smiled and said:

"We are Zhou Weimao's family, please let us go."

In order to facilitate travel and work, Zhou Weiluo is Princess Kunxing's pseudonym.

The two doormen looked up and down Zhu Cixiang and saw that both of them were very luxuriously dressed, and they looked like they were either rich or noble.

The guard held up his hands and said:

"You two, I'm really sorry. We are just gatekeepers and we don't dare to let you in..."

Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly:

"Please go and report that we have something to do and we must see Zhou Weizao!"
