At the celebration banquet that night, he did not say anything serious, but emphasized Comrade Xu Shu's contribution to the organization.

After knowing that his lord had finally prepared a number in the court, Huo Quzhi, Wei Xiaokuan, Li Cunxiao and other generals were very excited, and they couldn't wait to hug Xu Shu and kiss him!

Liu Wenjing, Kuai Liang and other scribes were also very happy, but their performance was not as exaggerated as that of the generals.

As for why you are happy, you don't need to ask.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Qi began to "divide the ministers" with a very eye-catching eye.

Huo Quai's sacrificial wine for the soldier Cao to join the army and be the head of the generals. The Yulin cavalry set up a separate army, called the Yulin Army, and handed it over to its command.

Wei Xiaokuan joined the army as a soldier Cao, commanding the infantry composed of pikemen, sword and shield men, archers and other basic troops.

Li Cunxiao joined the army for the soldier Cao, and still served as the commander of the pro-soldier and commanded the pro-barracks.

Zhang Hu is not a subordinate official of the Taishou Mansion, and he is still under Wei Xiaokuan's account.

Liu Wenjing served as the chief bookkeeper and was the head of the scribes.

Xu Shu appointed Hu Cao to join the army.

Guo Jia, according to what he said, only led the fictitious title of the military division, accompanied the left and right counselors and the military, and did not serve as a subordinate official of the Taishou Mansion.

Speaking of this, Liu Qi glanced at Xu Shu, and saw that he was also happy, and there was no sign of dissatisfaction, so he put his heart at ease.

Most of Liu Wenjing's credits are indescribable, and if Xu Shu is dissatisfied, it really won't end well.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the business, the situation of subordinates fighting for power and profit will not be very serious.

When the words fell, everyone bowed their heads and bowed.

"Thank you, lord!"

Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers were also present, but Liu Qi did not mention the names of the two of them - he received the official position of the state pastor's office, and he ate the food and salary issued by Liu Biao, and it was not his turn to be appointed as a new Taishou at all.

"Okay, okay, don't thank you first, the holy decree is still on the way, let's enjoy ourselves first." Liu Qi winked playfully, "Don't say it yet, otherwise someone asks you for the official seal, and I won't be able to take it out." Don't blame me if the cowhide is blown by then! ”

"Hahahaha!"

The crowd laughed, and the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic.

-------------------------------------

The next day, Liu Qi called Liu Wenjing, Xu Shu and Guo Jia to go to the west of the city.

The western part of the castle is a place where craftsmen gather, and there are many artisan shops.

Liu Qi came to an inconspicuous alley, in a blacksmith shop that looked dilapidated at first glance.

"The old blacksmith here is surnamed Niu, I heard that he used to be one of the best blacksmiths in Sili, but later his family was smashed by Liangzhou soldiers, and he had no choice but to flee. Later, he fled to our Yancheng and settled here. ”

Liu Qi introduced the three of them and greeted the old man who was busy inside: "Blacksmith Niu, how is it?" ”

Yesterday he had the process of making the glass copied and sent to the cattle blacksmith, and he brought all the materials needed for him to toss.

Guo Jia was surprised: "My husband knows how to read? ”

When the blacksmith heard the greeting, he hurriedly ran over to salute, and scratched his head shyly when he heard the words: "My father used to be an accountant for a family, and I learned a few words from my father when I was young, but I was really not interested, so I inherited the blacksmith skills of the family. ”

"I see, but a hermit."

Liu Qi glanced at it and found that Xu Shu and Guo Jia's attitude towards Lao Zhang suddenly became respectful, and then he thought that the treatment of craftsmen who knew how to read and those who didn't know how to read was different.

Liu Qi pouted: "Okay, let's get down to business!" ”

I can't get used to seeing these people think that they are superior to others if they recognize a few words, and when Lao Tzu has a firm foothold in the future, he has to start a literacy campaign and dig up the roots of your wealthy family!

"Yes, yes, yes." The bull blacksmith nodded and pointed to the messy construction shed to show Liu Qi, "The work ordered by the eldest prince, the little one dare not slack off, and I pondered with my few unsuccessful apprentices all night, and finally made a glass cup according to your instructions." ”

Immediately, there was a tiger-headed young man who carefully held a box, handed it over with both hands, and said crisply: "Eldest son, this is!" ”

"Ming Mansion, what is this?" Guo Jia came up and stared at the box curiously.

This kid is very sullen, obviously accepting the name of the military advisor, but he still refuses to open his mouth to call him "Lord", but calls the people of the time to the Taishou honorific title "Mingfu", just like calling Liu Biao "Envoy".

Hmph, sample, there is a day when you call the master "Ming Gong"!

Liu Qi saw that Liu Wenjing and Xu Shu were also very interested, smiled proudly, didn't speak, and directly lifted the lid of the box.

Under the sun's rays, the crystal clear light brightens people's eyes.

"This, this is Ruri?!" Xu Shu's eyes widened, "That's right, that's right, this is clearly glass!" ”

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, glaze was still a luxury item that could only be used by a very small number of wealthy families, and the price was more expensive than people imagined.

Guo Jia and Liu Wenjing also couldn't take their eyes off it, staring at the glass cup in the little apprentice's hand, and their breathing was lightened.

The reflection of the sun makes the charm and brilliance of the glass more dazzling.

Guo Jia looked at it for a long time and admired this small glass bowl: "Such a crystal clear, without a little impurity, is a fine product used by nobles in Chang'an, and it is rare!" ”

Xu Shu nodded: "Exactly, I have never seen such pure glass, and there is no variegation!" ”

Liu Wenjing was relatively calm and did not exclaim, but her rapid breathing could not deceive people.

"How, from the perspective of the three of them, what price can this glass cup sell for?" Liu Qi hugged his arm and asked for a long time.

"Sell?!" Xu Shu shook his head again and again in disapproval, "This kind of treasure is more than enough to be an heirloom, so don't sell it, right?" ”

Guo Jia thought thoughtfully: "If you want to sell it, even if it is not enough." ”

Liu Wenjing thought for a while: "If the lord insists on selling, it is better to order someone to take him to Chang'an, and if you can't say it, you can exchange it for the seat of Jiuqing for the lord!" ”

Jiuqing is naturally an exaggeration, but it also shows how valuable this crystal clear glass cup is in their eyes.

The three of them thought that Liu Qi had gotten the treasure by chance, and ordered the blacksmith to create a decoration that matched this glass cup, so they brought them to admire.

Liu Qi smiled: "What if I say, the cost of this gadget is actually less than 20 yuan?" ”

"Smack!"

The sound of your jaw dropping on the ground.

The three of them were expressionless, and their whole bodies trembled slightly.

Prince, do you know what you're just talking about!

Liu Qi looked at the three people who were stunned, and was very satisfied.

Hehe, let you also taste the taste of being frightened, and the way you speak in the future is simpler, don't be surprised.

"Don't hide it from the three gentlemen, in fact, I happened to learn about the manufacturing method of colored glass, and after researching, I was surprised by its low cost, and I couldn't believe it, so I ordered the ox blacksmith to give it a try." Liu Qi's face did not change and he said nonsense, "I didn't expect it to really happen, this is really an unexpected joy!" ”

As he spoke, he took out the original glass manufacturing method and handed it to Liu Wenjing.
