Chapter 55: Assassination

In a blink of an eye, it has come to July of the second year of Chunhua, and since the last time Li Jishou was overthrown, Zhao Weiji has actually passed a year very steadily, during which Zhao Yuanxi and Zhao Pu have not moved at all.

In fact, it's not that Zhao Yuanxi and Zhao Pu don't want to make any moves, but they really can't find Zhao Weiji's flaws. Zhao Weiji played three roles well in this year: the free prince, a giant who is not involved in politics, and a teacher who is obsessed with the left side of the door.

Although Zhao Weiji still did two major events during this period, these two so-called major events had almost no impact on politics, so Zhao Yuanxi and Zhao Pu didn't even have a chance to provoke Zhao Guangyi to find Zhao Weiji's stubble.

The first major event Zhao Weiji made in this year was the discovery of kaolin, which changed the formula of porcelain, and changed the one-dimensional formula of only one kind of porcelain stone for firing porcelain to a binary formula of kaolin and porcelain stone in a certain proportion. This major change made it possible to make large porcelain.

The original one-yuan formula fired porcelain at a low firing temperature, the porcelain tire was softer, and the firing of large porcelain was easy to deform. However, the emergence of the binary formula makes the temperature of the porcelain higher when firing, the hardness of the porcelain tire is greatly improved, and the yield is also significantly improved. The key is that the whiteness, transparency and gloss of the enamel of the fired porcelain have been generally improved.

Due to this change, the kiln mouth of Fuliang County (Jingdezhen) suddenly became the leader in the country, and when the five famous kilns were not born, the Hutian kiln in Fuliang County has now become the first in the country.

Moreover, the shadow celadon fired by the Hutian kiln even Zhao Guangyi couldn't put it down, and the Hutian shadow blue directly became a tribute porcelain. Not only that, but the successful firing of large-scale porcelain has led to a significant increase in sales of porcelain overseas. The market for large porcelain was much larger overseas than at home, especially in the Arab Empire.

Zhao Yuanxi, who saw this, was angry in his heart, the lonely king's financial path was cut off by you, but you yourself had a lot of money.

In fact, even Jiangyu admired Zhao Weiji, when the new porcelain was sold overseas, Jiangyu deeply realized that the soil that Zhao Weiji said at the beginning can bring gold.

The second thing is that the new navigation technology was developed by Zhao Weiji, and he relied on the advantage of crossing to make two things. One is the sextant, when the sextant and compass are combined with the astrological chart, the problem of positioning on the sea is very easy. The second thing is that Zhao Weiji succeeded in building a fully equipped sailing ship in the 18th century.

The Song Dynasty originally had extremely strong shipbuilding capabilities, and Zhao Weiji got another shipbuilding expert: Wang Dayuan. After Zhao Weiji gave the concept of full-mounted sailing ships and spinnakers in eighteenth-century Europe, Wang Dayuan made a hot sample (model) based on his own shipbuilding technology, and Zhao Weiji proposed modifications according to his impression of European sailing ships in the eighteenth century. Then it took another two years to build, and it can be said that Zhao Weiji was preparing for this thing after he got Wang Dayuan, and now the first ship was finally launched.

After this "giant ship" successfully sailed to Liuqiu (Wanwan) and returned safely, Zhao Weiji knew that he was not far from the fertile soil on the other side of the ocean. The new sailboat is three times faster than the older seagoing boats, and is significantly less dependent on wind power, allowing it to sail with little wind.

At this time, Zhao Weiji had already invested most of the remaining funds in the construction of this kind of sailboat.

The occurrence of these two events did not cause too many waves in Zhao Guangyi's heart, because in Zhao Guangyi's consciousness, this was all a sideshow. No matter how beautiful porcelain is, it is just a plaything and a daily utensil, and no matter how much the ship is built, it can't help you fight the country. What's more, the new big boat built by Zhao Weiji could not have entered the inland river due to the deep draft.

But this situation is different in Zhao Yuanxi's eyes, because the financial road is cut off, Zhao Yuanxu will be red as long as he sees others making money, not to mention his big enemy Zhao Weiji. Although these things made by Zhao Weiji have no political future in Zhao Guangyi's eyes, in Zhao Yuanxi's eyes, they have political money. He is short of money, the cost of befriending officials is not a small amount, and after the financial route is cut off, Zhao Yuanxi has a bit of a situation of sitting on the mountain.

But because Zhao Weiji was too careful, Zhao Yuanxi really couldn't do anything about him. And Zhao Pu was temporarily settled down after being demoted due to the last incident, and Zhao Yuanxi couldn't expect Zhao Pu to give him any help politically to find trouble with Zhao Weiji.

In desperation, Zhao Yuanxi chose a path of no return, and he made a decision alone.

……

During the Qixi Festival, a temple fair was held on the streets of Huating County.

Due to Zhao Weiji's reasons, there will be temple fairs in Huating County every major festival, not only the winter solstice, New Year, Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, but also Qixi Festival, Sheri (February 2nd Dragon Rises), Chongyang He did not let go.

In the past two years, with Zhao Weiji's operation in Huating, Huating County has gradually become prosperous, and the people have gradually become rich. After having spare money in their pockets, the people also prefer to hang out at the temple fair and buy some things, after all, some things are cheaper than usual during the temple fair.

"Xiao Nian, do you have anything you want to eat or play?" At some time, Zhao Weiji and Li Nian were wandering around the temple fair, and they were chatting about something.

Isn't this Tanabata Valentine's Day, why don't you see Chai Yu. That's because because of Zhao Weiji's accident, Chai Yu became pregnant again, and Chai Yu's reaction to this pregnancy was relatively strong, and he vomited every day, and he didn't even want to get out of bed.

coincided with the Chinese Valentine's Day, Chai Yu saw that he couldn't go out anyway, so it was better to create an opportunity for Li Nian, and found an excuse for Zhao Weiji to take Li Nian out to visit the temple fair.

"Daddy, I want that sugar man." Just as Li Nian was about to say something, a villain spoke.

Originally, Chai Yu was going to let these two get along alone, but she forgot that there was a little fairy at home. Zhao Ling'er, who is almost three years old, is when her curiosity is strong, how can she not be interested in so many strange things in the temple fair. So when Zhao Weiji was about to go out, Zhao Linger kept Zhao Weiji's thigh and didn't let go.

Chai Yu, who was lying in the bedroom, didn't expect that her daughter had slipped out to block Zhao Weiji at the gate while she was not paying attention.

And Zhao Weiji naturally knows what Chai Yu's calculations are, Li Nian has been with him for so many years, even if he is a stone, he should be covered with heat, not to mention that Zhao Weiji is a big living person. It's just that the shackles of monogamy in his heart have always restrained him, not to mention, he was originally just an otaku, and he chased two girls in four years of college, but he was directly issued a card. So for more than one girl to like herself, Zhao Weiji is not too adaptable. In addition, Li Nian was originally just a little Lori, and Zhao Weiji really didn't dare to think crookedly.

But what he didn't expect was that as Li Nian grew up day by day, this girl became more and more beautiful, and she began to gradually show that she liked herself. This has made Zhao Weiji a little embarrassed when facing Li Nian in the past few years. Although he had played games like Bishoujo DreamWorks before, when the little Lori he raised wanted to marry him one day, this embarrassment was not so easy to resolve.

So when his daughter hugged his thigh, Zhao Weiji immediately picked up his daughter and asked her to go out with her, at least her daughter would not be so embarrassing.

Li Nian, who just wanted to say something, was frustrated when he was interrupted by Zhao Ling'er: "Okay, you Ling'er, Aunt Nian usually hurts you in vain, and she runs out to make trouble for Aunt Nian at this critical time." ”

But before she could think about it, Zhao Ling'er had already dragged Zhao Weiji to the candy seller's stall over there. In desperation, she could only follow.

Today's temple fairs are more about young couples or young couples with children. Since the Northern Song Dynasty had only been established for a short time, the legacy of the late Tang Dynasty still existed. It is not a bad thing for a woman to have a tryst with her lover outside, and it just so happens that Tanabata is also a Valentine's Day that symbolizes love, so there are a lot of men and women dating today.

Moreover, there are two important activities on Qixi Festival, one is that the woman worships the Weaver Girl and prays for the blessing of the Weaver Girl. And how can the man worship Kuixing, hoping to take the imperial examination to high school. In this way, even if you don't want to go to the temple fair, there will still be many couples who go to worship the gods together.

At this time, Zhao Linger had already begun to pick candy people at the sugar man stall, and Zhao Weiji focused all his thoughts on his daughter. Since Zhao Linger has not picked a favorite sugar man, so at this time our little county lord is a little unhappy, in order to make his daughter happy, Zhao Weiji can only find the store to ask for the tool of pinching the sugar man, and began to pinch the sugar man for his daughter. Because Zhao Weiji tried to make figurines when he was an otaku before, the image of a Monkey King soon began to take shape in his hands.

Li Nian, who saw this scene, couldn't help laughing, in fact, Zhao Weiji had no status in the palace, Chai Yu and Zhao Ling'er's mother and daughter basically said that Zhao Weiji didn't dare to go west. And Zhao Weiji is so spoiled by this daughter, except for the issue of principle, basically Zhao Weiji has nothing to refuse to his daughter's request.

Since it would take a while for Zhao Weiji to make a candy man, Li Nian began to look around, and soon he saw a strange person walking towards him.

The reason why this person is strange is because this person is alone in black clothes and shuttles through the crowd, because he is surrounded by fresh and beautiful couples, so this person is quite eye-catching in the crowd.

But although the figure of this man was eye-catching, he could not see his appearance clearly, because he wore a hat with a low brim.

Just when Li Nian was still wondering, the person who walked towards them suddenly took out a dagger from his sleeve, rushed over and stabbed Zhao Weiji in the back.
