Chapter 386: Your Good Luck

All those involved in the case were severely punished.

...

Cui Shize reported the outcome of this matter to the higher-ups. Bai Wutong immediately ordered a thorough investigation into the corruption of all industries.

Be it the glass factory, that had people taking the opportunity to use the raw materials in the factory to make jewelry for the wives, the food factory, where people stole vegetables home, or people using their official positions to assign roles to acquaintances, or that the distribution of houses, land, and food did not match the number of people, they were all punished.

The sudden inspection involved a huge number of people and immediately deterred other people who were tempted to use their official positions for personal gain.

Two minor officials who had exceeded the amount of corruption were directly sentenced to death.

Bai Wutong’s direct methods also made the men who looked down on her for being a woman not dare to underestimate her anymore.

On a hot summer day, All Mi’s clansmen went into the sea and caught a lot of clams.

…..

All Duo frequently went into the water and saved up enough for a pearl for Huang Zhong’s aunt.

She made the holes herself. The string of pearls did not look good, so she specially asked Bai Wutong who could help her make a beautiful necklace, and that she could give two big pearls as compensation.

Seawater pearls have white, gold, silver, pink, red, black, blue, or gray colors. Among them, the best was white pearl with a hint of rose white and blue-black with a metallic luster.

The box of pearls that All Duo had given Bai Wutong previously was pure white. Now, the small box she was holding contained more than a dozen plump pearls. Each pearl was the size of a pinky finger. There was also a rare golden one that could be used as a centerpiece to make a peerlessly precious pearl necklace.

Bai Wutong smiled and said, “I’ll get someone to bring you over. They can help you design whatever style you like.”

All Duo blinked happily. “Thank you, Great Empress!”

She jumped up in joy. Her purse fell to the ground, and the irregular-shaped pearls in it fell out.

Bai Wutong reached out and picked up a pearl in the shape of a water droplet. There were patterns of the sea on it, and it shone with scales and light waves. It was very beautiful.

All Duo picked up the rest of the pearls and said, “These pearls are not round enough. I’ll find Doctor Gu to sell them to him as herbs later.”

Pearls had the effect of calming the mind, relieving the heat, nourishing the liver, clearing the eyes, and detoxifying the muscles. They were used in many prescriptions.

In modern times, any product with pearl ingredients would give people the illusion that there was whitening effect.

Whether it was made into cosmetics, toothpaste, or internal tonics, they were extremely popular with women.

In the European royal family, there were many pieces of jewelry that had been passed down for a thousand years.

Among them, there was a legendary necklace decorated with irregular oval pearls.

The oval pearl in Bai Wutong’s hand was even more beautiful in color and shape.

These irregular pearls were from the baroque era when pearls were popular and everyone would crash into the wall for them. The irregular pearls that broke the norm were also known as baroque pearls.

Bai Wutong smiled and said, “These pearls are also very beautiful and the colors are beautiful. You can take them and get them to design some beautiful headwear, jewelry, rings, and pearls for you.”

As soon as she said this, All Duo’s eyes immediately lit up. She said excitedly, “I still have many of these pearls!”

Bai Wutong smiled and said, “The jewelry made of pearls and the pearl powder are all very popular. You can set up a stall to sell these pearl products.”

All Duo immediately smiled like a blooming flower. “There are many people in our tribe who have these pearls. Can I get them to design jewelry for us too?”

Bai Wutong said, “If there are too many pearls, you can also learn how to make jewelry from the masters.”

All Duo was overjoyed. “That’s great!”

She turned around and wanted to look for her clansmen anxiously.

The economic value of pearls was higher than the profits of the cannery.

Bai Wutong suddenly stopped her. “Where did you find the pearls? Can you take me to see them?”

All Duo naturally agreed and brought Bai Wutong to the area where they had picked the pearls.

This area of sea was quite deep. Only people who were good at swimming could dive down.

Apart from the locals, very few people could come and go in the sea as freely as them.

Seeing the sea, All Duo was like a fish that had seen water. She plunged into the sea and crawled out of the water like a mermaid. She waved happily at Bai Wutong. “I’ll go catch two clams for you!”

Bai Wutong opened her hand and said, “Be careful!”

All Duo smiled at her and plunged into the sea.

The waves gently hit the beach. It was a full two minutes before All Duo emerged from the sea, holding a sea clam high in her hand.

She threw the sea clam ashore and plunged into the seabed again.

After a while, she emerged from the sea. Ignoring Bai Wutong’s call, All Duo crawled in again.

She swore to find two sea clams for Bai Wutong.

After going back and forth three times, when All Duo was exhausted, she finally found another sea clam and happily brought it to Bai Wutong.

Bai Wutong immediately put a blanket on her. All Duo repeatedly said that there was no need and urged, “This sea clam is especially big. I wonder if there are any larger pearls! Hurry up and try it!”

Qingfeng wanted to open the sea clams for Bai Wutong, but Bai Wutong shook her head and handed one to her. She took one for herself. “It’s quite interesting to open the clams personally to get the pearls. 1 can do it myself.”

Qingfeng nodded and got someone to bring over a table and chair. Bai Wutong’s stomach was too big to squat down.

The pearl clam was broken open by Bai Wutong. At a glance, she saw that the inside of the clam meat was bulging.

Bai Wutong looked surprised, and All Duo cried out even more, “There’s pearls, there’s pearls! Quickly take them out and take a look.”

Under everyone’s gaze, Bai Wutong dug into the clam meat. One, two, three, four… There were a total of 12 pearls. They were the size of two thumbnails and were abnormally pure and snow-white in color, with a dazzling luster like a rainbow. The rest were smaller, but a few of them were relatively round in shape. They could be considered very high-quality pearls.

Bai Wutong placed it in clear water to wash it. The pearls shone even more brightly.

All Duo said happily, “The Great Empress is really lucky. I rarely see such a big pearl.”

Bai Wutong smiled and said, “Thank you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been so lucky.”

The joy of opening pearls was really strong. Bai Wutong looked at the pearl clam in Qingfeng’s hand. “Quick, look at this.”

Qingfeng nimbly pried open the pearl clam and saw nothing.

Everyone inevitably looked disappointed. However, it was normal for wild clams to not have pearls.

Qingfeng touched it with her hand and her hand suddenly paused. Everyone immediately widened their eyes. “How is it? There is, right?”

Qingfeng nodded and took out a big silver pearl from the clam.

This pearl was a third larger than Bai Wutong’s two large pearls.

All Duo said excitedly, “I’ve never seen such a big one! You’re even luckier!”

Qingfeng washed the pearls and handed them to Bai Wutong.

Bai Wutong picked it up and took a few glances before stuffing the pearl into Qingfeng’s hand. “You have to keep the good luck that belongs to you well..”
