After swapping bodies with the princess, this prince slaughtered his way through the court and becam

Shen Shumin is shorter than Ren Jingxing.

Furthermore, when she wiped the sweat from Ren Jingxing's back, she didn't choose to walk behind him, but instead stood in front of him and stretched out her hand.

This means the two of them need to stick close together.

Faced with Shen Shumin's intimate and bold actions, Ren Jingxing was also deeply moved.

The enhancement effects in "The Making of an Empress" are amazing.

As a result, he always felt a burning sensation in his lower back and a surge of malevolent fire in his lower abdomen.

However, he was also a little worried that one day he and Wei Xinyan might switch places, and Shen Shumin would not know.

If Shen Shumin were to act even slightly boldly, it would surely startle Wei Xinyan.

After Wei Xinyan finished serving him, Ren Jingxing asked:

"How many people in our village used to be soldiers?"

"Almost all the men in our village are like that, and some of them are even serving in the army now."

Ren Jingxing nodded:

"In the future, there will be more and more highly profitable things in the village, and things like today will inevitably happen."

I'd like to assemble a team, is that possible?

Shen Shumin thought for a moment, then nodded:

"It is possible. The laws of the Great Wei Dynasty also allow noble estates to form private armies."

However, these soldiers were forbidden from wearing iron armor!

The purpose of this law of the Great Wei Dynasty is also very simple.

Giving nobles the right to form their own private armies is essentially still raising an army for the Great Qian Dynasty.

Anyway, the elite troops are all in the hands of the Imperial Guard, and private soldiers are not allowed to wear iron armor, so there is no need to worry about rebellion.

If the Great Wei is short of soldiers, they can simply draw them from Xun Gui's estates.

"This is enough. I plan to form a private army to protect the estate!"

"Yes, Your Highness, Seomin will help you!"

Just then, "The Making of an Empress" suddenly changed!

An old-fashioned scroll is unfurled, and on the next line after the progress of political participation, another line of text appears!

[Military Progress: We are currently preparing to build our first private rebel army. Rewards will be issued upon completion!]

Ren Jingxing was dumbfounded.

I rely on!

He originally thought that the Empress Training Manual was about helping Wei Xinyan ascend the throne through competition or palace intrigue.

I never expected they would even form a private army to rebel!

But thinking about it, it makes sense. With princes around, how could the court possibly allow a woman to ascend the throne and become empress?

If you want to ascend the throne, you either need to start a rebellion or kill all the princes!

hiss……

Ren Jingxing suddenly realized that this was not an easy job.

How could the emperor possibly tolerate the existence of a powerful army capable of rebellion near the capital?

He either needs to conceal his strength, or he needs to wait until the army is almost ready before leading it directly to the border.

Otherwise, he would not have had the opportunity to retain the army!

Ren Jingxing shook his head, clearing his mind of these thoughts.

It's too early to think about these things now. The most important thing right now is to get the sanitary napkin workshop up and running.

The men in the village were very excited about Ren Jingxing's plan to form a private army.

In the past, Xuanwei Manor did not maintain a private army, not because it did not want to, but because it could not afford to!

The Marquis of Xuanwei's mansion has no money and simply cannot afford to support a private army!

A manor without a private army is considered inferior; how could a noble family not maintain a private army?

The fact that this noble family did not maintain a private army indicated that it was on the verge of decline, and that was exactly the case.

The men in the village all greatly admired Ren Jingxing.

It was Ren Jingxing who supported the villagers in the manor, and it was also Ren Jingxing who revived the idea of ​​forming a local militia.

The fact that it was during which generation of Marquis Xuanwei stopped building up his private army indicates the beginning of the decline of Marquis Xuanwei.

Similarly, the fact that a particular Marquis Xuanwei began to rebuild his private army indicates that he was destined to restore the dynasty!

Ren Jingxing had already revitalized the Marquis's mansion even before inheriting the title!

Shen Shumin admired him even more and stood closer to Ren Jingxing.

Shen Shumin brought Ren Jingxing to the workshop's location.

The workshop was full of women of all ages.

Ren Jingxing taught them all about how to make sanitary napkins and their uses.

If it were an ordinary woman, she would probably be extremely shy by now.

However, the women in the village were all shrewish. They were taken aback at first, then couldn't help but burst into laughter and began to tease Ren Jingxing:

"Oh my, Your Highness really understands women's menstrual cycles!"

"Did the young master come up with this idea because he felt sorry for Shumin?"

"Young Master, you've only taught us how to do it, but you haven't taught us how to use it yet!"

Why don't you let Old Liu's family use it in front of you? That way they can tell us if they're using it correctly.

"Go to hell!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Before Ren Jingxing could speak, Shen Shumin immediately raised her eyebrows and coldly shouted:

"How dare you! Who taught you to speak to the Crown Prince like that?"

"If you don't want to work here, get out of the workshop, and make sure your man gets out of the salt factory!"

The workshop fell silent instantly.

Nowadays, the most profitable industries in the village are salt miners and factory workers.

In the Great Wei Dynasty, ordinary farmers who went to the city to work would earn about one to two qian of silver a month.

The salt miners and workshop women were paid four coins as wages!

One month is equivalent to two or three months for others!

If I lose both jobs because of my loose tongue, I'll not only be laughed at in the village, but my husband will also beat me to death when I get home!

Shen Shuming then said to Ren Jingxing:

"Young Master, the women on the estate are gossipy, please don't mind them."

Ren Jingxing nodded in understanding.

"Your Highness, the raw materials for these sanitary napkins seem so cheap. How much do you plan to sell them for?"

"I plan to sell every twenty pieces for five taels of silver."

Shen Shumin was so startled that she opened her eyes wide:

"Take away the young master?"

The female workers are not yet skilled enough, but they can still make forty pieces a day.

Most importantly, the raw materials are cheap; the cost of forty pieces is probably less than one hundred coins!

The main cost is even in the oil paper.

Shen Shumin immediately began to calculate. A female worker's daily wage was less than fourteen coins. She made forty sanitary napkins a day, so the material cost was one hundred coins.

A female worker can spend 114 coins a day and then earn 10 taels of silver?!

Shen Shumin couldn't help but swallow, and asked in confusion:

"Your Highness, it's so expensive, will it really sell?"

Ren Jingxing nodded:

The price often depends not on the cost, but on the product's positioning.

Our goal is to make sanitary napkins something that the poor can't even dream of, but the rich find worthwhile.

And it's best to make them feel competitive with each other.

You might not know this, but these sanitary napkins originated from the palace.

I ask the noble ladies of the capital, who wouldn't want to use the same things as the Empress?

Shen Shumin was utterly shocked; she had never heard of such a theory for selling goods!

When the sanitary napkin workshop was preparing to start operations.

The sixteenth prince, who was beaten and crying loudly, ran to the imperial study.

At this moment, the Empress and the Emperor were sitting upright reading books, enjoying their time together.

Then came Wei Xiuyuan's pig-like screams:

"Father! Someone wants to kill me!"
