Subsequently, Lao Xuguang and others followed Xiang Nan's instructions and secretly sold the glass products to Liao State.
These exquisite glass products soon became popular among the upper class of Liao State. In particular, glass Buddha statues and glass mirrors are the most popular.
Because the Liao Kingdom worshiped Buddhism, Taizu and Taizong of the Liao Dynasty respected Buddhism very much and vigorously supported Buddhism.
When Emperor Xingzong of Liao Dynasty offered sacrifices, he "first went to the Bodhisattva Hall and the Liao River God of Konoha Mountain, and then performed the ritual of worshiping the mountain." The Bodhisattvas were placed before the mountain gods and river gods.
By the end of the Liao Dynasty, the upper echelons of the Liao Dynasty respected Buddhism even more, building Buddhist statues and pagodas, and celebrating, worshiping, and sacrificing every Buddhist festival. A Buddha's birthday costs hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
Even monks can participate in important state affairs. For example, Emperor Zuo of Liao Dynasty went to war with the Kingdom of Jin. In order to ensure his side's victory, he even sent monks to chant sutras in front of the army, and even the war documents were issued by monks.
What is good above is bound to be bad below. Therefore, when the crystal clear and solemn glass Buddha statue appeared in the world, it was naturally pursued by the nobles of the Liao Kingdom.
A one-foot-tall glass Buddha statue can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars. A three-foot-tall glass Buddha statue can sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
As for glass mirrors, they were also sought after by Liao nobles.
Compared with copper mirrors, glass mirrors are clearer and more translucent, so they are naturally more popular. A small mirror as big as a palm can be sold for hundreds of dollars. If it is a half-height mirror, it can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars.
And their cost is not even the same amount of money, so it can be said to be a huge profit.
Because of this, Lianyun Village quickly became rich. In less than a few months, it accumulated millions of dollars, hoarding food, weapons, and equipment to keep everyone fed and clothed.
This has also made Xiang Nan's status in Shanzhai flourish, and his reputation is no less than that of Qi Shaoshang.
After Fu Wanqing entered the village, he often donated doctors and medicines to help the brothers in the village and the people at the foot of the mountain to treat their illnesses and injuries, and cured many patients.
Therefore, everyone in the village praised her as a fairy from heaven. She was beautiful and kind-hearted, and her medical skills were so high that she was deeply loved by everyone.
Thanks to her, Xiang Nan's popularity and status in the village are getting higher and higher.
…
In addition to making glass and earning money for the village, Xiang Nan is also actively improving his own strength.
After these few months of practice, he has reached the seventh level of the Sky Tribulation Divine Skill.
This took his martial arts to a higher level, and every move he made was extremely powerful. It can be said that even when facing a top master like Zhuge Shenhou, he still has a superior strength.
However, after reaching the seventh level, Xiang Nan became more and more afraid of the sun. Now he no longer dares to appear in the sun easily.
Especially at noon, I dare not go out.
To this end, he also made several pairs of sunglasses to protect his eyes from the sun.
Such an attire not only did not arouse suspicion, but also made other village owners envious. They felt that the leader looked really handsome when he wore sunglasses, so they imitated him one after another, and it even became a common practice.
…
The Spring Festival came in a blink of an eye, and Fu Wanqing discussed with Xiang Nan, hoping to go home and spend the Spring Festival with her father.
But hearing her say this, Xiang Nan was very embarrassed. Because Fu Zongshu is still imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
The reason why he was not beheaded was that Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others asked him to continue to report his comrades, and then took the opportunity to frame political opponents or blackmail officials;
Second, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others hated him for his evil heart, and even wanted to kill them that day, so they deliberately kept him in prison and ordered the jailers to torture him well, making him unable to seek life but not death. Life was worse than death.
Now Fu Wanqing wants to return to the capital to reunite with her father, which to be honest is a bit wishful thinking.
"Why, you don't want to?" Fu Wanqing saw that Xiang Nan was hesitant to speak and did not readily agree, so she quickly persuaded him considerately, "Don't worry, you are now the head of Lianyun Village, making contributions and protecting the family. You are a true hero who protects the peace of your country and my father will never look down on you again."
Fu Zongshu was not very happy when she married Gu Xichao.
Because Gu Xichao was of humble origin, and had no fame, no official position, and no family background. It can be said that such a person is not worthy of being his son-in-law.
For this reason, Fu Zongshu did not attend at all on the wedding day. Therefore, in Fu Wanqing's opinion, Xiang Nan was probably angry at that day and was afraid of being looked down upon by Fu Zongshu again, so he opened his mouth to persuade him.
"That's not it..." Xiang Nan thought for a while and decided to say it, because if he didn't say it, the news would be hidden. "Wan Qing, that's it. Something happened to your father..."
"What happened?" Fu Wanqing was stunned when she heard this, and asked with concern.
"Your dad...your dad...your dad is in jail." Xiang Nan hesitated. It was really not easy to say this.
"What? How could this happen? Why did he go to jail? When did he go to jail? Why didn't you tell me?" Fu Wanqing asked excitedly.
"He was arrested on September 9th. He was charged with treason in Tongliao and conspiracy to usurp the throne." Xiang Nan explained, "You and I were implicated by him and became wanted criminals, so I didn't dare to tell you about it because I was afraid of you. When you get excited, you do the wrong thing.”
"Tongliao betrayed the country? Conspired to usurp the throne? How could this happen?" Fu Wanqing was shocked after hearing this. She really didn't expect that her father would make such a big mistake.
"It's true. Your father was captured by Zhuge Shenhou and the four famous prisoners." Xiang Nan explained, "They found your father's secret letter to the Liao Kingdom. In the letter, he and the Liao Kingdom's militant faction Xiao Tianyou It was agreed that the assassination would be carried out on the day of the marriage between the Liao prince and the princess to create trouble in order to restart the war between Song and Liao.
At the same time, he contacted Eunuch Mi in the palace to kidnap the emperor and asked the emperor to write a Zen edict and pass the throne to him. In addition, he also sent people to control General Helian, preparing to seize his military power.
Zhuge Shenhou intercepted the secret message and understood the conspiracy, so he deliberately sent someone to pretend to be the emperor and staged a play to lure the snake out of its hole. As a result, your father fell into the trap and exposed himself, and was captured by Zhuge Shenhou on the spot.
His accomplices, Eunuch Mi, committed suicide, Huang Jinlin was arrested, Leng Huer, and Xian Yuqiu were killed. Some of my accomplices have now been arrested, and you and I are also wanted by the court. "
"How could this happen? How could this happen? This isn't true. This isn't true." Fu Wanqing couldn't help but cry.
She didn't expect that her father would be such a person, betraying the country in Tongliao and seeking to usurp the throne? ! This is simply unfaithful, unkind and unfilial. How could she have such a father?
Isn’t the position of Prime Minister You high enough? This is the greatest official in the world. Why is he still not satisfied and wants to be the emperor?
"Wanqing, you can cry if you want." Xiang Nan nodded, "But I hope you know that no matter what happens, I will be by your side."
“Xi Chao~ I only have you now.” Fu Wanqing couldn’t help but throw herself into his arms and cried bitterly when she heard what he said.
She originally had a father and a cousin, who loved her very much, but now they are gone. She is no longer the prime minister's daughter, but a fugitive prisoner and the daughter of a traitor.
She only has Xiang Nan now.
"Don't be afraid, I am enough. Please come later and I will always be kind to you." Xiang Nan hugged her and said.
