Liu Yi nodded yes. Chen Xuan waved to the people and asked, "I have made up my mind. In the opinion of the prime minister, who among the courtiers can be in charge of the new relief office? In addition, what is the best way to rectify the workshop? The people opposite Shou Changze called for friends, and they had gathered more and more, pointing and cheering in the direction of Linquan Palace. The woman picked up the newborn child and waved it in this direction. Folk rumors say that the true dragon's qi can ward off evil and suppress evil, so seeing the emperor indicates that there is no need to be afraid of evil things for a period of time in the future.

Liu Yi stood beside Chen Xuan and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Xingzong can be in this position. This person was originally a Huaxian magistrate, and now he is in the Tiance Academy, and three years ago he also proposed to set up a workhouse in the autonomous area of the Chamber of Commerce. He hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "As for the rectification of the workshop, the minister also has two strategies. A strategy to deal with the present. Think long-term. ”

"Oh?" Chen Xuan's face was calm, he nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Fire your eyebrows, let's talk about the strategy in front of you first." ”

"The immediate strategy, after the war of Rus', His Majesty and the two governments planned to operate the west of Shishan, and newly canonized the eight founding princes, but the people have not yet been enriched, and a large number of shade households are needed to reclaim. The Caoxi River Patrol Office was instructed to direct the newly arrived Kanto refugees to the river and the Shishan area. In this way, the number of workers in Guanzhong will inevitably be insufficient. Needless to urge the court, merchants must compete to provide food and clothing and raise wages in order to recruit apprentices. ”

Chen Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, if the new homeless people go to the river, if the treasury is lacking, I will help with money." He paused and said, "Let some come out of the river too." ”

Liu Yi said in a deep voice: "The minister thanked Your Majesty first. In addition to the matter of this apprentice Sichuan, in addition to the relationship between His Majesty and Hezhong Prefecture, the Prime Minister's Mansion had already discussed with the scholars of Zhou, and the Bachelor's Mansion initiated the collection of funds in the country, and by the way, the bad deeds of the slavery of the workshop were exposed to the world. ”

Zhou Mengxi, a scholar of the university, repeatedly demanded that the mastermind behind the murderer be strictly investigated, in addition to putting pressure on the Zhuguo Mansion and the Protectorate Mansion, he also took the initiative to visit Prime Minister Liu Yi. Liu Yi took the opportunity to propose to fulfill the last wish of the Dongren Society, and Zhou Mengxi immediately agreed to the fundraising. The Scholar's Mansion is in charge of the world's education, and tens of thousands of teachers from all over the country are agitating together, creating the people's will, which will surely change the position of many people in the Zhuguo Mansion and the Protectorate Mansion.

Chen Xuan slapped his palm on the windowsill and praised with a smile: "This strategy is very good." He paused for a moment, then smiled again, "I don't dare to 'offend' the Academy. In this way, the murderer behind this scene must be remembered for 10,000 years. His brow furrowed, and then the guard at the door used the microphone to transmit the voice, and the general of the military intelligence department, Wu Ting, asked for an audience. Chen Xuan's brows furrowed again, and he said to Liu Yi: "Wu Ting of the Military Intelligence Department is about to arrive, and the prime minister will also stay to listen to the situation of Zheng Xiangtang's case, and it is good to have a bottom in his heart when he handles it." ”

Liu Yi nodded slightly, thanked Chen Xuan, and said, "The right strategy can solve the immediate worries." In the long run, a new guild should be established to support the workers of the Kanto region. The original craftsmen's guilds were much more considerate than the local government to protect the interests of their craftsmen and apprentices. He paused for a moment, and then added, "However, the workers in the Kanto region are like a plate of loose sand, most of them have nothing, and they have no skills, and it is easy to establish a guild, and it will take time to make it really work." ”

Chen Xuan nodded again and praised: "Okay." At this time, the sound of footsteps outside came from far and near, and with the "salute" of the Dragon Tooth Army guards outside the door, the door of the palace opened, and Wu Ting, the general of the Military Intelligence Division, strode in, bowed to the emperor, and bowed to Prime Minister Liu Yi. Just now he had already asked at the door that the prime minister had been in the palace to meet him, so he didn't look surprised at all.

Chen Xuan invited him to sit down and asked, "Zheng Xiangtang's case, how is the investigation of the Military Intelligence Department?" Through the imperial case, he personally pushed a teacup in front of him.

Wu Ting raised his hand to thank His Majesty, and said in a deep voice: "It is definitely not the Kwantung Imperial Court's doing. The three Assassins all came from the river, and the figures of the bribes were also drawn, and the Dunhuang Command Office and Lu Cao were secretly searching. In addition, Chang'an is also investigating the enemies of the two murdered scholars, and there are two or three suspected masterminds. The most likely of them was a wealthy merchant from Kanto named Qiu Darui. Just a few months ago, he injured several Dongren Society scholars in his workshop, and the case was still being interrogated in the court, but the injured people said in unison that it was because the Dongren Society scholars were not disrespectful and had nothing to do with the owner, Qiu Darui. ”

Chen Xuan snorted slightly, his face turned cold, as if he had expected it, and asked in a deep voice: "Is there any evidence pointing to Qiu Darui's murder?" ”

Wu Ting shook his head and said, "The person who directly bought the assassin was not Qiu Darui, and it wasn't even a few henchmen who often followed him. Dunhuang Linghe Lu Cao took this assassin figure and examined it in detail in post inns all over Hexi, and if anyone had seen the murderer, they might recognize his accomplices. ”

Chen Xuan nodded and said in a deep voice, "It's okay." Hexi side of the vine touches the melon. On the Chang'an side, monitor Qiu Darui and several other suspects, don't startle the snake first, the focus is to find out whether they have formed a party and whether they have befriended officials for illegal things. I want to see how fierce these men are. By the way, check whether the suffering of the apprentices is consistent with the situation of the scholars of the East Society. He paused, suddenly woke up, and asked, "The investigation order from the two governments to the Military Intelligence Department has been issued, right?" ”

Wu Ting nodded and said, "I've got it." Chen Xuan and Liu Yi showed a look of relief on their faces, and Chen Xuan smiled: "That's good." "The duty of the Military Intelligence Department is to grasp the situation of the enemy country and monitor the traitors in the army, and if it involves the investigation of other domestic matters, it needs an investigation order from the two governments, so that the Military Intelligence Department does not override the five governments. When Zheng Xiangtang's bloody case occurred, the matter was urgent, and the Military Intelligence Department intervened in the investigation in advance. However, because the case has a bearing on the national system and has a great impact, the two governments still issued an investigation order, handing over the power to investigate the case to the Military Intelligence Department, and if the suspects behind the scenes are treated as enemy countries, they can bypass some procedures that must be followed to handle cases and arrest them quickly.

After the monarch and the ministers played right, Liu Yi retired. This major event has an eyebrow, and Liu Yi is also a lot more determined in his heart. As soon as he got into the carriage, he took a nap against the wall of the carriage. The prime minister has every opportunity, not only to have extraordinary energy, but also to have the kung fu of Mount Tai to collapse in front of him. The carriage moved slowly, and Wang Zhaoqian, the chief guard of the Tiger Wing Army, who was accompanying him, knew Liu Yi's habits and deliberately slowed down so that he could rest for a while.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Liu Yi's eyes opened, sweeping away his tired face. The coachman opened the car door, Liu Yi got out of the car, nodded slightly to Wang Zhaoqian, walked into the house, and the scribe waiting at the door said: "The head of the Yaozhou Porcelain Guild and others have come to visit and have asked them to wait in the living room." "Every day, many people ask to see the prime minister, and they need to ask the scribe of the prime minister's office first. After Prime Minister Liu Yi agreed, he would arrange for them to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion. The exact time has changed, and the person who asks to see him does not care about waiting for a moment.

When they came to the living room, the three craftsmen-like people had already stood up, with smiles on their faces, waiting for the prime minister at the door. One of them is Zhu Shipeng, the head of the Yaozhou Porcelain Guild, and the other two are also Pei Yanyong and Fan Changsheng, the directors of the guild. Yaozhou is the center of porcelain making in Guanzhong. These three people have made porcelain all their lives, and they all have workshops, and they all have the status of master craftsmen. If it weren't for the request, they would never have greeted Liu Yi at the door.

Liu Yi smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "The time to meet Your Majesty is delayed, let the three master craftsmen wait for a long time, forgive your sins." Stretching out his hand to invite the three of them to sit down, after the servant looked at the tea, he took a sip of the teacup, and said with a smile: "The three master craftsmen are all very busy, and they must have something important to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion today?" ”

"Please also ask the Prime Minister to make decisions for us." Zhu Shipeng smiled all over his face, stood up first and handed over a love letter. This letter demanded that the Prime Minister's Office prohibit workshops from making porcelain at night, restrict the opening of new kilns, and restrict the employment of displaced people as apprentices. Attached to the back are the names of thousands of porcelain makers and apprentices. Liu Yi hurriedly took the letter and said with a smile: "Master Zhu should be polite, but if the official can help, he will not allow it." He hurriedly raised his hand to invite Zhu Shipeng to sit down, and the master craftsman was so humble that it seemed that he was indeed about to be forced to the end of the mountain and water by the workshops of those who used the Kanto people. He had long known from the scribes the intentions of these craftsmen, and the government had not intervened in disputes between their merchants before, but this time, they had to use each other for a while.

Zhu Shipeng was excited, and said indignantly: "If they continue to do this, our reputation in Guanzhong Yaokou will be completely ruined." "It turns out that the price of the porcelain fired by those merchants and apprentices in the Kanto industry is much lower than the price in the original Yaozhou porcelain shop. These Kanto craftsmen were not skilled in their craft, and they often rushed to make utensils at night, and the porcelain they made was extremely rough, and even cracked porcelain was fired into the market because of their hurry. These newly opened porcelain kilns not only squeezed out the business of many old porcelain kilns, but also all of them were under the name of "Guanzhong porcelain", so that the value of Guanzhong porcelain, which had been known for its "exquisite" and "expensive" for hundreds of years, plummeted, and the old kilns that really made good porcelain became more and more unable to survive.

Zhu Shipeng foamed at the mouth, became more and more angry, took a sip of tea, paused the tea cup on the table, and said angrily: "These newly opened kilns only know how to work hard to make money, and they are dim and dark at night, and they can't see clearly with lamp oil, but they can't even bear to pay for lamp oil." What good utensils can be made? Ruined the reputation that I had waited for more than 100 years! ”

Liu Yi remained silent and smiled slightly: "Maybe it's because the newcomers don't understand the rules, but after a while, when the craft is proficient, the situation will be better." ”

Seeing that the Prime Minister seemed unmoved, Pei Yan said in a hurry: "Lord Liu doesn't know, where are these people inexperienced, they are obviously dizzy, anxious, and ruining my reputation as Guanzhong porcelain." He paused, slapped his thigh, and sighed, "I don't care about this old face either." Several apprentices who had been brought in the past were tempted by the high profits, and went to the new kiln without saying goodbye, saying that they were guiding the apprentices to shape the embryo kiln. As a result, what kind of stuff is burned! It's not because the workshop uses unskilled workers and forces them to work day and night! ”

Fan Changsheng said on the side: "Yes, our old kiln has always followed the rules of the guild handed down from the founding dynasty, and we will not do fine work after dark. Who knew that there would be a bunch of dogs who forgot the rules of their ancestors and disregarded morality and righteousness. A mysterious look flashed in his eyes, and he stepped forward and whispered, "Prime Minister, these people are ruthless. I heard that some time ago, two Kanto people avenged their apprentices and were assassinated at the door of Zheng Xiangtang. In the old man's opinion, nine times out of ten, it was the profiteers who made the Kanto workers who made it the right to do it. ”
