The angel's chariot set off again, driving towards Xiahe City, and Zhang Dun, who didn't see Liu Cun, only expressed a slight regret, still with an amiable smile on his face. , but Cheng Bing, Cangci and others, who followed behind Zhang Dun, understood in their hearts how greedy Zhang Dun, who was more and more favored by the Son of Heaven, was.

Liu Cun didn't show up, no one could blame him, he was now the commander of Dongwu County, not Langya County, and he had no obligation to welcome the envoy sent by the emperor, not to mention that this envoy came to his pocket.

Another one, Liu Cun does not want to give people a handle, he has to cherish the hard-won reputation, now Langya is the place where the world's scholars come and go, many wealthy scholars have bought land in the east and south of the city to build a residence, if people know that Liu Cun, who is the commander of Dongwu County, is in a hurry to welcome the angels who go to Langya County, I am afraid that Liu Cun's reputation will be tarnished.

But the sentence "the emperor has a decree" made Liu Cun have nowhere to hide, Wang Qi, Guo Tang and others knew that Liu Cun was hiding in his manor in the north of the city, so they quietly sent someone to inform Liu Cun and asked him to rush to the county government in the city to receive the decree tomorrow morning at the latest.

Liu Cunzheng had a discussion with the first 120 students of Baiye Academy, and he was not in a hurry when he received the news, and continued to listen to the students' learning experience and various requirements in the past six months, and asked the students whether they were accustomed to the new weights and measures and the new arithmetic formulas, and whether they were used to the five-bead abacus produced by the manor woodworking workshop. Then very carefully record the opinions of the students, and finally announce to the students the important news that has already been decided:

Baiye School was officially renamed "Langya Agricultural Business School", and a new campus was built on 100 acres of land outside the east wall of the manor.

The students were happy to run to tell each other, but Liu Cun, who returned to the temporary residence of the manor, had a headache, and secretly wondered what problems the angel Zhang Dun and the emperor in Luoyang had given themselves this time.

When night fell, the restless Liu Cun was complaining about why Mi Zizhong was late, Mi Zhu's car slowly entered the gate of the manor, and under the guidance of the chief of the guard on duty, he soon came to the small courtyard where Liu Cun lived.

Liu Cun, who got the news, was already standing at the gate of the small courtyard in the shape of a full moon with a smile, and after seeing the salute, he took Mi Zhu's hand and walked inside.

Mi Zhu washed up and returned to the living room, and when he saw the exquisite dishes on the round table and the Langya wine in the black pottery bottle, he immediately smiled, but pointed to the ordinary but very sturdy chair and asked, "Brother Xian likes the Hu chair?" This round table is good, and the height just matches the Hu chair, and it seems that the virtuous brother has spent a lot of effort on it. ”

Liu Cun saw Mi Zhu sit down with a big grin after speaking, grabbed the wine from the black pottery bottle, skillfully cut the wax seal and began to pour the wine, shook his head helplessly and said: "Save a little, there are not a few bottles left in this special home-brewed old cellar brother." ”

"Coax others to go!"

Mi Zhu carefully picked up the five-coin porcelain cup, slowly moved it to his mouth and then dried it up, and only after a long time did he spit out the ** spicy coarse breath, and grinned and shouted: "Cool!" After drinking this wine, what Langya jade liquid and Langya mellow wine are tasteless, remember to send me ten boxes to bring back in two days. ”

Liu Cunbai glanced at him, picked up the wine bottle and added a glass to him, and filled the cups in front of him, and after touching each other, he sandwiched a piece of braised venison in the Mizhu bowl: "What kind of person is Zhang Dun sent by the Son of Heaven?" ”

After eating a piece of delicious venison, Mi Zhu comfortably wiped his mouth with a white tissue: "Don't worry, the foolish brother has already served him well, and the reason why he still wants to come to Langya is because the Son of Heaven has set his eyes on your family's pottery kiln, and asked Zhang Dun to bring a will to set the gold-painted white porcelain fired by your family as 'tribute porcelain', and in the future, one hundred and eight sets of gold-painted porcelain for the royal banquet will be enshrined for the royal family every year, which seems to be a loss, but as long as you think about it, the virtuous brother should understand how much the word 'tribute porcelain' can be worth." ”

Liu Cun was secretly surprised, not reluctant to give up a hundred sets of white porcelain painted gold tableware, this kind of tableware specially fired by the porcelain kiln under the manor Huangdao Mountain, although exquisite and luxurious, but because the kiln temperature can only be burned to about 1,200 degrees, it still can not be called real porcelain, compared with the process ceramics fired by the Zhushan porcelain kiln controlled by Liu Zhen, Liu Cun is not worth mentioning at all, Liu Cun was surprised that the emperor Liu Hong actually listed Zhushan ceramics as "tribute porcelain", and Mi Zhu's grasp of business opportunities has reached the point of a pervasive super profiteer.

"What's the fuss? By the way, the fleet should be on its way back, right? Mi Zhu asked while eating, the relationship between him and Liu Cun has developed to the present, and it is already a water **melt, so there is no need to say any more kind words.

Liu Cun nodded: "These days are sunny and sunny, and the sea is estimated to be a good weather with calm waves, so I speculate that if the transaction goes well, I can come back in a few days, but I don't know how many ginseng furs you can exchange for your two boats of silk and satin, and the horses are cheap, and on the bill of goods given to us by the Gongsun family of Liaodong, the price of a three-year-old horse with a shoulder height of more than six feet is only 3,200 yuan, but unfortunately our ship is too little." ”

Mi Zhu sighed: "Yes! There are too few boats, and a Liaodong horse with a height of six feet on the shoulder, in Xuzhou and Luoyang, can be sold for twenty gold, how many times do you calculate the huge profit! Hurry up and build the Huangdao shipbuilding workshop, and go back to the foolish brother to send you dozens of ships of century-old pear wood. ”

Liu Cun waved his hand: "Let's not talk about shipbuilding, let's talk about the eunuch Zhang Dun, in addition to asking for tribute porcelain, what else does he want?" ”

Mi Zhu laughed, seeing that Liu Cun was really anxious, he had to whisper: "I guess he won't want gold, as early as Luoyang, the foolish brother has already satisfied him, this time he came to Langya to announce the decree, because the emperor heard that you have a good reputation for placing tens of thousands of displaced people, and knows that you Liu Zijian can not only fire pottery, but also write filial piety masterpieces such as "The Wanderer's Yin", the landscapes and flowers and birds painted on the ceramic vessels are good, so the emperor has a good impression of you in his heart. I learned that the emperor specially instructed Zhang Dun to meet you for him, to see how you look, and then check if you are also the same as Liu Ziyang, from the declining imperial family. ”

"What kind of royal family am I? The poor people can't beat a piece of cloth with eight poles! Liu Cun was very surprised, and he never thought of pretending to be a royal prince.

Mi Zhu knew Liu Cun's personality, and he didn't care about the recent gossip that Liu Cun was originally a royal bloodline that had been circulating in the market recently, so he smiled and continued: "Zhang Dun came to stay in Xuzhou for two days, and whispered to the foolish brother during the dinner that the joint recital of the Langya monarch and the prime minister made the emperor very happy, and praised the monarch Liu Xi for understanding things, and he didn't need to tear off his face and cut the domain. The next day, the emperor on the grounds of lack of money to build the South Palace, bid 300 gold to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to sell Chengyang Taishou to the position, but the Manchu Dynasty civil and military knew how dilapidated the Chengyang County reset by the emperor, except for Langya County, the remaining eight counties are dilapidated and banditry-ridden dangerous places, so no one cared for three consecutive days, the old family sent to Luoyang by the foolish brother only made a move, through the regular servants Duan Qi and Zhang Dun, for the virtuous brother to buy this Chengyang Taishou, listen to Zhang Dun said, the emperor got the gold and was happy, Seeing that the person who recommended him to serve as the Taishou of Chengyang was you Liu Zijian, he immediately agreed to it, and said happily: I didn't expect Liu Cun to be so rich, Zhang Dun, you have to help me ask for more things to come back! ”

Liu Cun was dumbfounded when he heard this, and only sighed for a long time: "I didn't expect the emperor to be so greedy, and the big man is not saved!" ”

"Don't sigh for a long time, if the emperor is not greedy, can we take the position of Chengyang Taishou so easily?" Mi Zhu pursed his mouth disdainfully, picked up the wine glass and drank it again.

Liu Cun very much agreed with Mi Zhu's statement: "Yes! Speaking of which, I, Liu Cun, am not a good thing! ”

Mi Zhu almost squirted out a mouthful of wine in his throat, coughed a few times and looked at Liu Cun, who was lamenting to himself, and suddenly laughed out loud, and sighed after laughing: "You guy, you can't make people not admire your openness!" ”

"Without further ado, how to get the order tomorrow? Do you want to appoint me as the Taishou of Chengyang? Liu Cun finally put aside the inappropriate distractions in his mind.

Mi Zhu nodded: "Although the emperor is greedy and mediocre, but since he ascended the throne, he has always been very trustworthy, and there is no regret about what he promised, this time he wants you to contribute one hundred and eight sets of gold-painted porcelain every year, and he also smiled at the three hundred gold that sold Chengyang Taishou, he always wants to give you some face, right?" I'm not worried about this, I'm worried that the easy-going Zhang Dun still has a request! ”

Liu Cun silently drank the wine in the cup, and after drinking three glasses in a row, he put down the wine glass heavily: "This kneeling is kneeling, are you afraid of worshipping again?" The younger brother has decided, as long as Zhang Dun's request is not excessive, the younger brother will satisfy him, and get the position of Chengyang Taishou, all the efforts are worth it, as long as I sit in the position of Taishou for five years, I will definitely make the nine counties under my rule become a rich and powerful paradise on earth! ”

"Good!"

Mi Zhu high-fived and praised: "Brother Xian, Brother Fool likes to see you full of confidence and high spirits, I believe Brother Xian will be able to do it!" ”
