Chapter 857 - 859: Probing (6)
First, the girls of the Mengnu cannot undergo the "Daughter’s Rites" within three years. Anyone who violates this will be punished according to national law, and those who mutilate their daughters will be punished with amputation of the hand.
Second, now that the Mengnu have surrendered to Great Jin, they will use copper coins and silver as currency henceforth, just like in Great Jin.
Third, the art of glassmaking is a unique technology of the Mengnu people, which must not be divulcted at will. The finished glass products shall not be sold to others either.

Nangong Yi patted her back gently, soothing her in a soft voice, "Nonsense, what are you talking about? Here I am, perfectly well!"
"What’s good about that? You have no idea what terrible things I’ve encountered. If it hadn’t been for Sister Luo Xue, your little sister would no longer be in this world... Sob, sob, sob, Brother, you must thank her properly for me..."
