The weather is gradually getting colder, and the earth dragon is already burning in the warm pavilion.

The entire warm pavilion was burned warmly, and Emperor Hongzhi held a teacup in his hand and looked at the folds on the table.

After a long time, he looked up at Xiao Jing on the side and said: "At this time in previous years, there was news of the raids of the Tatar tribe from time to time, but this year there has not been. ”

Xiao Jing sometimes envies Xie Zhirong's grace, but he will not deny Xie Zhi's merits with a clear conscience.

The battle between Yun Zhongwei and Tatar, although it did not hurt Tatar, but it also proved the strength of Yun Zhongwei.

The Tatar Ministry is not the only force, and no force is willing to consume its own strength with Yun Zhongwei.

If there is really any force that is not afraid of death to do this, I believe that it will not be long before their tribe completely disappears from the territory of Tatar.

To Emperor Hongzhi's question, Xiao Jing smiled honestly and replied: "Yun Zhongwei 100 people have played the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and now Yun Zhongwei has expanded to more than 5,000 people, according to the previous war, the Tatar Department has to have more than 50,000 people to get cheap, originally, the Tatar Department did not dare to confront my Ming head-on, for many years it is just like a bandit to grab something, how dare 50,000 cavalry enter the customs." ”

Xiao Jing's words were undoubtedly said in the heart of Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I heard that the crown prince and Wang Shouren are responsible for the formation of Yunzhongwei, and the training is also responsible for the two of them?" ”

The Ming Dynasty is strong, and Emperor Hongzhi will be happy, but if this is strong and has a credit to his own son, Emperor Hongzhi will definitely be even happier.

Emperor Hongzhi's thoughts Xiao Jing also knew, and replied truthfully: "Yes, since the formation of Yunzhongwei, His Highness has been staying in the Yunzhongwei camp, and His Highness and the soldiers eat and live together, since His Highness's identity was exposed, the morale of Yunzhongwei has also increased a lot." ”

Xiao Jing inherently catered to Emperor Hongzhi's thoughts, but the reason is really that.

Zhu Houzhao really has a lot of hard work for Yun Zhongwei, and he eats and lives with Yun Zhongwei's soldiers, how can there be a trace of the prince's hypocrisy.

The smile on Emperor Hongzhi's face was even bigger, and he said happily: "Xie Zhi, that kid really has a way, the prince went to the clouds with him for a few days, and he is really sensible, and the courtiers are also full of praise for him, and a few days ago, he also made a balm for the queen." ”

Zhu Houzhao made progress, and Emperor Hongzhi was happy and relieved, but also showed off a lot.

Xiao Jing could only follow Emperor Hongzhi's intentions, and after praising Zhu Houzhao, he said a few words of praise and thanks.

After a while, Emperor Hongzhi said: "Xiao Banban, you prepare, I am going to go to the clouds in the next few days, by the way, call Xie Qing and let him see his son's achievements..."

Without waiting for Xiao Jing to respond, Emperor Hongzhi said: "The momentum doesn't have to be too big, bring a few guards, go directly as a merchant, and don't need to notify Xie Zhi in advance, I want to make a private visit to see what changes have changed in the clouds." ”

Since Emperor Hongzhi has decided, Xiao Jing no longer said words of advice, and replied: "The slave maid is going to prepare, I don't know when Your Majesty plans to set off?" ”

After pondering for a while, Emperor Hongzhi said: "Tomorrow, let's go tomorrow..."

Xiao Jing bowed his head and replied: "Obey the order, the slave and maid will prepare immediately." ”

......

Early the next morning, Emperor Hongzhi and Xie Qian Fujia were dressed up, Xiao Jing was dressed as an old housekeeper, and the three of them rode in a carriage together, with an entourage of more than a dozen people, all the way to the clouds.

After arriving at the realm of clouds, he did not enter the city immediately.

Now in this season, all the crops in the field have been taken back, and there is nothing left to see in the field.

The group chose to go to the pottery workshop in the south of the city.

Outside the workshop, there were also scattered merchants, all of whom came to buy the porcelain of the workshop.

Sun Jiacai's craftsmanship is really good, from clay refining to glazing.

Since the first batch of porcelain was produced, a large number of merchants have come to visit.

Naturally, even if some merchants came to visit, only a small part of them were sold, and the rest was brought out by Xu Jing's caravan to sell.

If it is only sold to the doorstep, the loss will be at least half.

Xie Zhi made porcelain to make money himself, not for the convenience of those merchants.

When they arrived at the pottery workshop in the south of the city, Emperor Hongzhi and Xie Qian first found a tea shop.

Although there are not many merchants who come to buy porcelain, there are still a few inns and tea shops for these people to rest.

The tea shop was not big, there were four or five tables, and the tables inside were full of people, and there was only one at the door.

In winter, the warmer it gets the further you go inside.

Not only is it not warm at the door, but once someone comes in, a cold air comes directly to the face.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't care, and sat down directly at the table.

Emperor Hongzhi sat down, and Xie Qian had to follow and sit down.

"The realm in the clouds is a little colder than that of the Jingshi." Emperor Hongzhi said.

Xie Qian replied: "It's really cold. ”

The two had just sat down when a child approached them with a teapot.

The child, who was only five or six years old, was about the height of the table, and had to stand on tiptoe to pour water into the cup on the table.

Seeing that he poured so hard, Xiao Jing, who was waiting on the side, took the teapot from his hand and said, "Let's come." ”

The child looked at Xiao Jing timidly, and then handed over the teapot for a moment.

A pot full of water, Xiao Jing took some effort to carry it.

After adding water to Emperor Hongzhi and Xie Qian, Xiao Jing returned the teapot and asked, "There is so much water here, is the little brother moving?" ”

The child was a little shy in the face of the living, and only replied to Xiao Jing's question with trembling, "Yes!" ”

Then he turned his head and left, Xu didn't see the person who came clearly because of Xiao Jing's problem, and directly collided with the person who had just entered the door.

A pot of water was sprinkled on the child, and the child's tears rolled in his eyes, and he looked at the visitor in panic, but did not dare to speak.

The person who was hit just splashed a few drops of water, but grabbed the child and scolded: "Little cub, the long eyes are angry? I didn't see it when I was so big..."

Hearing the movement outside, a man who was busy in the inner room ran out, and he didn't care about his children, and apologized to the person who was hit.

"I'm sorry, kid is reckless... The shop invited the son to tea for free today..."

"Just a cup of coarse tea and want to pass away?"

The man immediately changed his words and said: "In the future, the son's tea in the small shop will be free!" ”

"Your little cub hit a certain and soiled a certain clothes, let's say, how to compensate?"

At this time, can you still care about talking about a piece of clothing?

The man felt sorry for the child who was caught in the hands of the man, and replied anxiously: "The villain fled here a few months ago, but fortunately learned that the county lord helped, so he started this tea shop, and now the county has not finished paying off the silver owed in the county, and the child's mother still has to drink medicine, there is really no silver to pay, the villain washes, and the villain will definitely wash it clean..."

The man had no sympathy, and no sign of giving up.

The entourage next to him said even more angrily: "My son-in-law's clothes are expensive, what should I do if they are washed?" ”

This person is richly dressed and is not short of money, as for the three melons and two dates, do you have to knock those three melons and two dates down?

The merchants who originally drank tea in the tea shop either watched the excitement, or they had an attitude of getting up high and not caring about themselves, and no one came forward.

Although the child was dressed in a lot of clothes, a pot of boiling water was sprinkled on his body, and it must have left burns.

Emperor Hongzhi gave Xiao Jing a look, and Xiao Jing immediately snatched the child, and took off the child's clothes.

The child's chest and legs were already red and swollen.

Xiao Jing was quite sympathetic, pulled aside the teacup on the table next to him, placed the child on the table, and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”

The boy was already shy, and he didn't dare to speak when he got into trouble, but just nodded and answered.

Emperor Hongzhi put down the teacup, got up and walked to the child's side, and said, "The child is seriously burned, go and invite a Langzhong." ”

After Xiao Jing's order, he immediately ordered a guard to do so.

Emperor Hongzhi ordered him to go down to find Langzhong, and then with the man, he said, "Take the child back first..."

The current Emperor Hongzhi is just dressed as a businessman, how can that person buy his face.

The man was about to leave, but the man grabbed him by the arm and said, "Where are you going?" If you don't lose something today, don't even think about going! ”

Not only that, but the man's entourage even stopped Emperor Hongzhi and his party, and said, "You can't leave either, since you stand up for him, the silver will be accompanied by you..."

After that, he asked his master with a smile on his face: "Young master, how much do you accompany?" ”

The man didn't answer, and then held out three fingers.

The entourage comprehended, and said arrogantly: "I'll give you a discount, three taels..."

Before the threatened Emperor Hongzhi could answer, the entourage was slapped in the head and scolded: "Who said three taels, three hundred taels, three hundred taels, you know?" ”

"Three hundred taels?" The entourage's eyes widened, and he saw that his master's eyes were not right, and he didn't dare to say more, so he nodded and said, "Three hundred taels, three hundred taels..."

In the face of the unreasonable master and servant, Emperor Hongzhi and Xie Qian are both civilized people, so they are not suitable to argue with them, so they can only come forward with Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing was about to come forward, but was stopped by Emperor Hongzhi, who commanded in his ear, "Go find Xie Zhilai." ”

Xiao Jing was in charge of the East Factory, and many people in the court had to be a little afraid of him, but he might not be able to argue with the master and servant.

Under the premise that Emperor Hongzhi didn't want to reveal his identity, he could only ask the government to come forward.
