Chapter 114: Sending Six Envoys (I)

Solemn and resolute, the scene was dispersed, and Wang Hui was raised to prepare for the Eastern Capital Qianniu Wei Qianniu, Xia Guanshang Shulou Shide did not countersign and signed, and went straight to Shangshu Province, Shangshu Province Tongping Chapter has not been approved, and the blank inscription book was sent to the palace province.

The next day, the Empress Wu was allowed to play, and at the same time solemnly doubled the post of Qianniuwei in the eastern capital again, increasing to 496 people, Qianniu prepared and prepared, the post did not add profit or loss, and the new rank of the reserve was not the same as the existing reserve, and was reduced to the ninth grade.

Quan Ce and Wang Hui entered the palace together, Wang Hui was fully clothed, went to Xuanren Gate to report, and Quan Ce went to the palace Lintai to practice big characters.

Not long after he sat down, a little eunuch came to summon him, and Emperor Ruizong summoned him.

Quan Ce was stunned for a while before he reacted, and confirmed with his eyes that what he said was really summoned by Ruizong, not by Empress Wu.

When he walked out of the signing room, many colleagues outside were watching, and when they saw him come out, they hurriedly turned around and bowed their heads, hiding themselves quite embarrassed.

Emperor Ruizong did not summon his ministers, but most of them were prime ministers, or six ministers and nine secretaries, to discuss the state affairs and official affairs assigned by the Empress Wu, and summoned them privately, mostly to the Li clan's relatives and in-laws.

Tongming Palace, Emperor Ruizong's dormitory, Quan Ce saw Emperor Ruizong, who had not been to the court for a long time, sitting on the couch, wearing a loose dragon yellow robe, three short beards under the chin, a slightly round face, fair complexion, a peaceful face, and a plump and beautiful lady beside him, with an intimate posture, but I don't know who it is.

"Chen Lintai Young Supervisor Quan Ce, meet Your Majesty" Quan Ce bowed deeply as a courtesy, this etiquette is used by courtiers in non-serious occasions, under normal circumstances, the monarch and the minister have not seen each other for a long time, or there are generations of factors, or should kneel and bow down, but Quan Ce does not dare, Emperor Ruizong's bedroom, I don't know how many bright and secret eyeliner, one more step, it is better to take one less step.

"Get up, sit" Emperor Ruizong's words were gentle, and he sighed with emotion, "Qing is young, he has been in the sea for a long time, and it is not easy to be able to be alone and famous far and wide."

Quan Ce was praised so frightened that his mind turned sharply, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The minister has no talent, bowing to the prosperous era, and he is lucky to tease the words and become famous, but because of the success of people, His Majesty praises, and he is ashamed."

Emperor Ruizong smiled slightly bitterly, thinking that he had seen more courtiers who were trembling and fearful in front of him, and it was even more ridiculous that the fear of these courtiers was not because of him, his face was slightly raised, and his voice was still calm, "I heard my cousin-in-law mention that there is a fine wine in Qing's house, called Jiannan Burning Spring, is this true?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this matter is true" Quan Ce breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately lowered his eyebrows, not squinting, originally thought it was a concubine in the palace, but it turned out to be a cousin-in-law? Announcing it in public, do you not care about it, or do you deliberately defile yourself? The right policy was incomprehensible, but he put away his contempt, and said solemnly, "There is a steward in the minister's family who went to Langqiong Zhao to run a business road, and accidentally found this good recipe for winemaking in the countryside, so he brought it back to the Eastern Capital, if Your Majesty likes this thing, the minister is willing to offer it."

"Hehehe, it's not necessary," Emperor Ruizong smiled and asked with interest, "I heard that the output of this material is scarce, but the materials are rare and the cost is expensive?" ”

"What His Majesty said is exactly "Quan Ce is strange in his heart, the monarch and the minister are right, speaking of the square things is quite normal, talking about the details of the process and the price, it is a little weird, try to be concise and to the point, "Hanzhou, Jiannan Road, there is Mianzhu County, ten miles west of the county, there is Lutang Mountain, there is a spring on the mountain, named Yufei Spring, the spring is brewed with spring water, the flavor is excellent, but the road is far away, and the transfer is quite difficult"

"Well, hardships and hardships, jade and ru are successful, the best quality is naturally rare, and the things that are easy to obtain will not be cherished" Ruizong sighed with emotion, and turned to business, "I intend to list this thing as a tribute, and provide thousands of catties of wine into the palace every month, starting from next month, Qing can try to properly balance the supply, don't hurt the small people"

The corners of Quan Ce's mouth twitched, and he bowed to the leader's order, a thousand catties of wine, a hundred jars, about one-third of the circulation on the market, and he could only increase production capacity, there was no other way.

Emperor Ruizong didn't talk about him, but asked a few words about Lintai's affairs and ordered him to step down.

Leaving the Tongming Palace, Quan Ce walked slowly all the way, thinking all the way.

Back to Lintai, Quan Ce asked about the progress of the production of the map, and the secretary in charge of this matter, Lang, was a little surprised, but he was articulate, and reported them one by one, the state and county governance, the mountains and rivers were victorious, and the comparison with the previous map was clearly introduced.

Quan Ce's eyes widened, and he patrolled around the southeast of Luoyang, "Ahem, the size of this Songshan Mountain seems to have not changed for twenty years?" How can you be so careless? This official will go to Songshan in person to investigate on the spot"

The secretary Lang was a little nervous, his cheeks flushed, "What the young eunuch said is, as the young eunuch said, it is our negligence, the mountains and rivers here have not changed for decades, and I have not thought about it, and I am embarrassed" Speaking of impulse, he lit the lamp and burned the half-finished map in his hand.

Quan Ce was slightly stunned, and subconsciously stretched out his hand, but finally did not stop him.

After the duty, Quan Ce returned to Princess Yiyang's mansion, told Ge Hui about Jiannan's burning of spring and tribute, and asked him to contact the Provincial Food Bureau in the palace, the price can be set higher, anyway, the emperor asked for it, and Princess Yiyang's mansion is not an ordinary businessman's family, if you don't take the opportunity to make profits, it is abnormal.

"In this way, I have to make another arrangement, the goodwill is very important, there are many merchants whose reservations must be satisfied, plus the amount of tribute, I am afraid that if it is circulated in the market, there will be very little left" Ge E frowned, quite annoyed.

Quan Ce's eyes lit up, "Brother Ge, that's the case, in the future, Jian Nanchun will only accept reservations, not go to the market, and put some thought into the outer packaging, just use Uncle Shi's porcelain as a container, take the high-end route, and when the output comes up in the future, then classify and set the file, taking into account ordinary merchants"

Ge Hui listened to him, at first he was careless, but soon his eyes widened, "Wonderful, wonderful, Dalang, true, no business or treachery"

Quan Ce pouted and displeased, good and dignified, just pretend to be your pure heart and few desires, but you have to learn sharply, and you don't know who to learn from.

Throwing the matter of tribute to Ge Hui, Quan Ce said hello to Li Qiao, left Beijing, and went to Songshan to survey and repaint.

According to the rules, I met Quan Yi first, but I was caught off guard by the good news, Quan Yi's outer room, pregnant, I think it won't be long before he can add a younger brother or sister, with a smile, asked the month, but learned that the pregnancy will be two months old, and the time of conception is the season when he was detained in Lijingmen, and the crime is unknown.

Quan Ce's heart throbbed, gradually paralyzed, and took out a stack of contracts from his waist, "Congratulations to my father, you live in Songshan, beyond the world, and now my aunt is pregnant again, I am afraid that I will be nervous, the child bought a Zhuangzi of twenty hectares of land in Songyang County, and there are some paved mansions, so I handed them over to my father."

Quan Yi's face sank like water, his cheeks jumped, he didn't speak again, and picked up the teacup.

Quan Ce said goodbye and left, wrapped in an inexplicable gloom, he secretly hindered his father, even if he was in prison, his hands were still staring at his father's movements, as soon as there was an abnormality, he hurt his hands, this woodcutter and vegetable farmer on Songshan Mountain, he killed a lot seriously, he himself lost his filial piety, but at this time he expected his father's love, how vain.

Entering the Songshan Courtyard, the jade slave welcomed him into the main hall.

Reliant sat on the couch, quietly tending to a pile of cases, and when she saw him enter the door, her talking eyes flickered, some doubts, some worries, and more pity.

Quan Ce pursed his lips, his eyes suddenly reddened, and he walked up to her, buried his head in her chest and abdomen, and his shoulders shrugged.

Ruilai was startled, her red lips moved, but she didn't speak, her hands fell lightly on the back of his shoulders, her eyes drooping, and the meaning was long.
