829: Chapter 830: Teaching the Craftsmanship of Glass Manufacture (2) 829: Chapter 830: Teaching the Craftsmanship of Glass Manufacture (2) Three years later, the request to postpone the “Daughter’s Rites” was accepted by the People of the ng Slaves.
Although they did not understand why the people of the Great Jin Nation were so fixated on their ethnic Daughter’s Rites, hearing that the rites were not abolished and that the rules left by their ancestors were still in place, rely delayed by three years, they saw no harm and thus agreed!
Cai Wei also had her plans.
Originally, she wanted to abolish the cruel and bloody feudal remnants system of the ng Slaves all at once, but when she saw the indignant and passionate expressions on the faces of the ng people, she suddenly understood a truth.
The developnt and progress of any ethnic group was not achieved overnight but required a gradual and sequential process.
She was too impatient, forgetting the inevitable laws of historical developnt, and her demands to achieve her anticipated goals might incite strong resistance from the public and could even make the ng people reconsider their decision to surrender.
Therefore, she decided to use the agreent of three years to first stabilize the emotions of the ng people, and then gradually reduce their impressions of the Daughter’s Rites, slowly eliminating the sacred importance of the rites in their hearts!
After signing the Letter of Submission, Nangong Yi imdiately dispatched a ssenger to relay the news back to the Great Jin Nation and decided to set off ten days later, taking Tuoba Kui back to the Great Jin Dynasty to et with Emperor Jin Ming.
Everything went smoothly and naturally, Cai Wei was happy.
The next day, she revealed her true identity and finalized the plans for opening a glass factory with Tuoba Kui.
The glass factory was a joint venture between her and Tuoba Kui.
She provided the glass-making technology free of charge, while Tuoba Kui supplied the raw materials and workers.
Cai Wei would purchase the glass produced by Tuoba Kui at a price of two taels of silver per piece.
However, the two parties had to sign a contract stipulating that the glass made by Tuoba Kui could only be sold to Cai Wei, and should he sell to anyone else, Cai Wei would seek a different partner.
By then, if the glass-making technology spread and anyone with the raw materials could make glass, the ng would have no silver to earn and would have to return to their forr nomadic lifestyles of upheaval and instability.
All was settled, and Cai Wei was about to start teaching the ng people the art of glassmaking.
Nangong Yi was very anxious about this.
Cai Wei was very beautiful, stunningly so at first glance, and in comparison to the rugged and holy ng won, she was a complete contrast.
Thus, he felt extrely uneasy about letting her, a young woman, teach a group of rough n the craft alone.
Therefore, on the very first day that Cai Wei began to teach glassmaking, Nangong Yi showed up on ti in the shed where the glass was being made.
The shed was a simple structure built temporarily to protect from the wind while lting the quartz and natural soda, so the process had to be carried out inside the shed!
When Nangong Yi walked into the shed and saw a large group of burly n surrounding his little girl, he was beside himself!
The ng n were very vulgar.
Because the stove was burning fire and the temperature inside the shed was very high, many of the ng were shirtless, and a few n were not only shirtless but were also wearing shorts, exposing most of their bodies, clearly encircling his little girl with ill intentions shining brightly!
In fact, Nangong Yi really misunderstood these craftsn.
The news of Cai Wei being a witch was well-known in the ng Slaves’ Royal City.
Among the ng, people held great awe for wizards, and a sorceress with powerful magic skills like Cai Wei was even more terrifying to them.
They would avoid her rather than dare to harbor any ill intentions toward her.
“Wow, it’s quite bustling here!”
Nangong Yi entered, hands behind his back, with a lazy voice tinged with a smile, yet the smile on his face appeared as if it were carved there.
