Speaking of the history of this glaze factory, Hongyi is at his fingertips.

In fact, from the Liao Dynasty in history, this is not a city, but a suburb, called "Haiwang Village" at that time. Later, in the Yuan Dynasty, an official kiln was opened to fire glazed tiles. Since the construction of the inner city in the Ming Dynasty, because of the construction of the palace, the scale of the official kiln has been expanded, and the glaze factory has become one of the five major factories of the imperial court at that time. After the construction of the outer city in the 32nd year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1553), it became an urban area, and the glaze factory was not suitable for firing kilns in the city, and moved to the Liuliqu Village of Mentougou District in later generations, but the name of "glaze factory" was retained and passed down to this day.

The glaze factory in the Shunzhi period did not have the scale and prosperity of the later Kangqian period, but it also began to take shape and people came and went. Although most of the shops on both sides of the street are rented and renovated from low-rise and old houses, and the business scope is still some four treasures of the study and old books, there are already many official eunuchs and students who walk through them.

At that time, the provinces rushed to participate in the Shunzhi 12th year of the second year of the examination has long been dispersed, but waiting for the palace test of the tributes are still gathered here, one is because the Qing Dynasty entered the inner and outer city of the capital to implement the separation of the Manchu and Han, a large number of Han people, ** have moved to the outer city, and the glaze factory is precisely in the west of the outer city, most of the Han officials at that time lived nearby, and later all over the country the hall was also built nearby, from all over the country businessmen, officials, scholars and other people staying in the hall have also come here to visit, so the Ming Dynasty was prosperous at the front door, Dengshikou and Xicheng's Chenghuangmiao Book Market have gradually moved to Liulichang, and the Gongshi who went to Beijing to take the exam and join relatives and friends have also gathered here. Second, because after the four examinations of the three years of Shunzhi, the four years of Shunzhi, the six years of Shunzhi, and the nine years of Shunzhi, the practice of taking the exams and raising people in the Ming Dynasty was relatively concentrated, learning poetry and learning from each other, and inquiring about the exchange of information. Over the past ten years, the cultural industry near Liulichang, as well as the "three industries" such as wine shops and inns, have begun to become famous inside and outside the capital. It is said that later to the Qing Dynasty Xianfeng and Tongzhi, Guangxu years, due to the participation of a large number of civil officials and scholars in the imperial court, visiting the glaze factory has become a popular among the literati and ink writers a kind of atmosphere and fashion, some officials do not return to the house after the next dynasty, but go straight to the glaze factory.

Hongyi himself walked at the front of the group, looking at the various plaques and signboards written by various celebrities on both sides, feeling the elegant and simple artistic conception of Wenyuan, and even almost forgetting the true intention of leaving the palace on this trip - looking for Koreans!

It turned out that the reason why Hongyi insisted on leaving the palace was to personally check whether the merchants brought by the Korean counselor were really doing some black market transactions that were expressly prohibited by the imperial court. The target of buying and selling horses is too large, and those who do it must be cautious. The Qing Dynasty also strictly forbade the export of classics abroad, because at that time, the rich classics and books were awarded as a grace to those obedient vassal states who admired Chinese culture and education. It is estimated that the North Koreans, who have long called themselves "Little China," will not let go of such an opportunity......

Walking for half an hour, Hongyi pricked up his ears to listen to whether there was Korean words floating by, but his ears were empty, all kinds of dialects from Tiannan and Haibei, but there was no "Smecta"! After the group crossed a bridge (now gone, located at the intersection of today's South Xinhua Street and East and West Liulichang Street), Hongyi was a little disappointed, and it happened that an ordinary store attracted Hongyi's attention - the front of the store was cleaned, and two simple roll cylinders on the steps were lined up on both sides, which contained some blank scrolls, and the two sides of the lintel were hollowed out and carved with "Songzhumei" and three friends of the cold year, and three powerful characters were hung in the middle: "South Paper Mill".

"Mother-in-law, come in here and take a look." Hongyi walked for a long time, and his physical disadvantage of more than a year old was revealed, and he was ready to rest here. Just about to lift his feet to enter, but he was taken by Mara beside him, and he walked into the paper shop lightly and quickly, and looked around, only then did he dodge his figure and respectfully invite Belle's Ye Xuanye to enter.

Hongyi smiled and nodded, showing full respect for the labor of this five-rank guard. It's not that he has any preference for this southern paper, but Hongyi suddenly thought of bringing some back to the palace and punishing the little gongzi who didn't understand the people's sufferings for copying the "Thousand Character Text" one hundred and eighty times with inferior straw paper, and this month, Liang Gong's two palace people must be greatly reduced as a warning!

Entering the store, Hongyi looked carefully from the perspective of a tourist who had been around for 300 years: there was no counter in the store, and the four walls were full of bookshelves, full of books, and each book was labeled with a bibliography and price, which belonged to the nature of a supermarket! There is an elm lacquered table of eight immortals in the window, and a few chairs are placed on the sides, which can be regarded as a place for customers to drink tea and books.

Before Hongyi finished reading, he saw a guy greeted him with a smile on his face, "A few distinguished guests have come, but you can take a good look at the white origami in the small shop [blank question book, notebook [1] paper, already folded]?" Hongyi was about to reply, but found that the eyes of the shopkeeper were just staring at Mara and Liang Gong beside him, and he didn't see himself at all. It's no wonder that his image of being more than a year old can only be manifested in the Forbidden City, and in this market, there are a few people who know that they are the legendary "Golden Crow descended to earth, and was born with the crown" The second son of the magical emperor!

Seeing that Mara was a little in a dilemma, Hongyi nodded slightly, Mara is also a smart and clever person, and immediately agreed: "Just take a look, just go and get busy yourself." ”

"Okay, although the store is small, but this housekeeper white fold, literati painting paper, four treasures of the study, all kinds of utensils, and if you like which of everyone's calligraphy and painting gold and stone, there is also a 'pen list [2]' over there, you can also order. Well, you guys take your time, and the little ones won't bother. If you're tired of shopping, there's a small shop serving tea, so you can take a break. The young man was very flattering, and while retreating, he quickly introduced the store's "main business scope" and "convenient service items". Hongyi listened, and compared with the so-called "sales" that the waiters in those small shops were entangled with hundreds of years later, he really had a good impression of this store.

After more than a year of painstaking practice in the palace, coupled with the fact that his master Fan Chengmo taught in the name of the lecturer of Longxing Shengji Day, Hongyi's calligraphy attainments have greatly improved, and he naturally has an interest in the four treasures of the study. When I entered this "South Paper Shop", I also wanted to collect it. The so-called "South Paper" is the popular Anhui "Xuan Paper", Jiangsu "Powder Wax Paper", Fujian, Zhejiang, Shaanxi "Bamboo Paper" and other famous papers.

Hongyi had just climbed onto a chair with Sun's assistance, ready to take a look while resting, when a person suddenly came out of the corner and walked straight towards him. Both Hongyi and Mara noticed, and Mara was already about to go up to stop them, but Hongyi, who saw clearly, raised his hand to stop them.

"Master Ji, why are you here, what a coincidence!" Hongyi didn't wait for anyone to throw off his sleeves and kneel, he sat there first and opened his mouth to set the tone, supplemented by squeezing his eyebrows and making eyes.

"Uh...... Minister...... Minister...... True...... What a coincidence! How can I be idle today...... Come out and cruise! ”

This person is the right of the military department, one of the editors of "Chinese Studies and Western Studies". I wanted to come over to meet the prince Baylor as a big gift, but I was quietly stopped by Xiao Xuanye with a strange expression, and hurriedly changed "minister" to "true", and "out of the palace" to "come out", which can be regarded as clever. However, Ji Kaisheng, who was born in the first year of Tiancong (1627), was only thirty years old at the time, so he naturally did not dare to call himself "a teacher" and "an old minister", so he had to deal with it simply.

"I went out with my mother-in-law, the nurse, and the eldest brother Ma (Mara), why are you here?"

Hongyi hurried to introduce the current titles of the subordinates, in case Ji Kaisheng was exposed. Ji Kaisheng also paid attention to holding his fists and saluting with Hongyi's introduction, and he saw them one by one. Everyone replied in unison, "I've seen Master Ji." Only Mara was called "Big Brother Ma", and she couldn't afford it for a while, so she knelt down on one knee to return the salute, and at the same time, she also asked Lord Belle to ask for sin.

"Oh, Tianzhong's family lives nearby, and he has always been friends with the owner of this South Paper Shop, so I came here today to find some study, and I don't want to meet the master by chance!" Ji Kaisheng's mind was racing, and he used his own table word "Tianzhong" to call himself, and the answer was much more natural.

"Xiaguan Zhang Suihan, I've seen the president!" After Ji Kaisheng, there was another person, who was born a little obscenely, with two small eyes and a pointed chin, although he was not a typical villain in later film and television dramas, at least the standard appearance of a mercenary person, but at this time, he respectfully and respectfully visited Hongyi with the courtesy of his subordinates. Hongyi was a little annoyed, and the "quasi" micro-service private interview that he carefully maintained was about to be disrupted by this stunned young man.

"Shangguan is here, and the small ones are not far away, so they have to be closed for half a day, and I respectfully invite the adults to taste everything in the store!" Zhang Suihan seemed to see the little guy's displeasure, and knelt on the ground and said.

Hongyi noticed that at some point, there were only a few of them left in the store, maybe there were not many people in the first place, but they were all sent away by the clever and well-behaved guy just now. At this time, he was already standing at the door, bowing to a few scholars who were about to enter the store to shop, and blocked the door.

"Haha, shopkeeper, please get up, we've disturbed your business!" Because of this, Hongyi immediately retracted his plan to judge people by appearance, and was about to politely invite him to get up, but suddenly understood something from the few words just now. Seeing that Zhang Suihan had already stood up and stood aside, he then asked, "You just claimed to be ...... You too? ”

"Back to the president's words, the lower officials are not talented, and they are shy to live in the seven-grade pen post style of the firearms battalion under your command [3]." Zhang Suihan replied respectfully, and Hongyi finally understood the eyesight of this "shopkeeper". He is the minister of the left president of the firearms battalion, and he belongs to the leader of several levels, so Zhang Suihan calls himself a "lower official", and he bows down. I have never met him, and I must have spied a thing or two from Ji Kaisheng's behavior, words and deeds, and knew that I was the famous Dorobelle and the second son of the emperor Xuanye.

It turned out that at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, some lower-level officials would often use their own money to do some small business to supplement their families. And this South Paper Mill was opened by this Zhang Suihan with the accumulated money.

"Oh, then I really entered my own house this time, haha, it just affected Lord Zhang's business!" With the help of the Park family, Hongyi sat on the main seat and said with a pleasant face.

"The subordinates don't dare to accept it, Lord Belle is here, and the small shop is shining!" Zhang Suihan changed his title in time, from a subordinate to a subordinate, and the relationship went further.

"Then what kind of business do you do in this South Paper Mill?" Hongyi looked around, and suddenly found the seal engraved "pen list" signed "Ji Guanyue" in a conspicuous position in the store, and suddenly remembered the seal stone of "Eternal Rivers and Mountains" given to him by Ji Kaisheng, and also remembered that Ji Kaisheng, the word Tianzhong, the number Guanyue, it turned out that the "First Minister of the Qing Dynasty" also needed to earn some extra money and supplement some household expenses by his own benefit. In this way, I have some understanding and more consideration for my subordinate who is engaged in a second career.

"Back to Lord Belle, the small shop is to sell some study utensils, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., nothing special." Zhang Suihan reached vaguely, probably because he didn't want to pull Ji Kaisheng's meaning.

"The South Paper Mill is naturally good on paper, and the others are also side jobs." Ji Kaisheng's face was slightly red, and he was also half-covered and half-concealed to replace Zhang Suihan.

"Haha, the guy in the store just now said that your white origami here is good, it should be a main business, right?" Hongyi smiled, knowing that the two of them were in the mood to defend each other, and there was no intention to delve into it, so he led the topic elsewhere.

"Lord Belle is really wise, and the operation of the small shop here can't be concealed from the Royal Holy Son!" Zhang Suihan hurriedly agreed.

"Then tell me about the doorway of this white origami." Hongyi asked with a pleasant face, soothing the emotions of the two of them.

"Huh!" Zhang Suihan turned around and took some samples for white folding, and talked about it carefully......

[1] The fold is one of the important official documents, also known as the fold, the fold, or the fold. It was first used in the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and was widely used later, and a fixed system was formed during the Kangxi period. Until the abolition of the Qing Dynasty, it lasted more than 200 years. The documents of the Qing Dynasty officials to the emperor were called "Song Folds" because they were written in folded books. Also known as "folding". There is a fixed format for the number of pages, lines, and words per line. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the old system of the former Ming Dynasty was followed, and officials reported to the emperor when they had something, and used the title book for official affairs and the recital book for private affairs. The question book is stamped, and the recital book is not stamped.

[2] The so-called "pen list" means that the calligraphy and painting seal carvers have set the price standard for the sale of their works after being recommended by famous artists. Stores can order on behalf of customers and thus receive a commission from them.

[3] Pen post style, Manchu, also known as "pen post black", means a person who handles documents and documents. Before entering the customs of the Qing Dynasty, the learned people were called "Bakshi", and in the fifth year of Tiancong (1631), it was changed to "pen post style". All ministries and bureaus of the Qing Dynasty have been set up, which are mainly in charge of translating Manchu and Han concert documents, recording archives and other matters. After the entry of the Qing Dynasty, the state system was perfected day by day, government activities increased sharply, and the work of documents and archives became more and more complicated. The pen post style is an official official of the state, and there is a grade. In the early years, there were five or six grades. After Yongzheng, except for a very small number of principal titles, the style of writing is six, generally seven, eight, and nine products. The pen-style promotion is easier and faster, and it is known as the "Eight Banners Origin Road".
