There were too many women in the family, the purple clay pot was too small, and there were many monks and little porridge, so Han Fei had to order Yahuan to fetch a few small wine cups, and one person poured a wine cup, and finally came to himself, the teapot was gone, and he hurriedly asked people to flush boiling water again.

"Don't look at me, hurry up and taste this tea while it's hot!" Han Fei couldn't help but smile when he saw that the women were all looking at him.

Xue Baoqin, who was sitting next to Han Fei, brought the tea in front of him to Han Fei and said, "Big brother, you are gone, how can you tell the sisters to drink, you drink my cup!" ”

"Qin'er, don't bring it here! Even though I haven't drunk this tea, I can imagine what it tastes like, so I'm going to let you taste it, drink it all, and I'll have something to say later! ”

When the women heard Han Fei's order, they picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp.

"Good tea!"

"Why is this tea so fragrant?"

"Uncle, is this tea brewed from our tea leaves?"

The women were amazed at first, and then wondered why the tea was so different.

"Haha, this is Miaoyu's baby!" Han Fei held the purple clay pot and said happily: "The tea is the original tea, the water quality is the original water quality, and the tea soup brewed is more fresh and fragrant, retaining the original flavor of the tea, this is the wonder of the purple clay pot!" ”

"This purple clay pot is amazing!" Xue Baoqin stared at the purple clay pot in Han Fei's hand and asked, "Big brother, this purple clay pot doesn't look like anything unusual, why is it so useful?" ”

This is the material of the purple clay pot, the purple mud contains some special ingredients, after being fired into the pot, it has good air permeability, which can adsorb and eliminate the turbidity in the tea soup. Of course, this is just the basic principle, and there are many things to be paid attention to in order to really make a good pot! ”

Liu Ru suddenly said: "This purple clay pot is so wonderful, it must be worth a lot of money, I don't know where it was produced?" ”

Han Fei said with a smile: "This is what I am going to say, the wonder of the purple clay pot is in the hands of people who don't know how to do it, but it can't be revealed, so the reputation of the purple clay pot has not yet spread." The main production area of the purple clay pot is in Yixing, Zhejiang Province, even in the local area, there are not many people who know the magic of the purple clay pot, which causes the pearl to be darkened. After the beginning of the year, our family sent people to Yixing to visit the craftsmen who made the pots, and signed a contract with them, and our family purchased all the purple clay pots they fired. ”

Liu Ru's eyes lit up, and she understood that this was a business with great potential if it was done well, and she hurriedly said: "After the beginning of the year, the concubine will send capable personnel to Yixing and set up a shop in the local area to purchase purple clay pots." Uncle, are we going to set up a shop selling purple clay pots in Beijing? ”

"You can set one, people have a process of accepting the purple clay pot, and the method of use and maintenance must be taught when it starts to sell, and after opening the popularity, there will be good results!"

Han Fei thought for a while, and then said: "By the way, while sending someone to find the pot maker, you should also pay attention to the origin of the raw materials of the purple clay pot, and find a way to buy the origin of high-quality purple mud." In this way, even if the popularity of the purple clay pot is opened, we are not afraid of others participating in the competition! ”

"The concubine knows what to do!"

Time flashed and it was time for the New Year, and Jiafu sent someone to invite him to celebrate the New Year together, but Han Fei excused himself. The atmosphere of the New Year in the Han Mansion was warm and grand, and the whole house was jubilant. Miaoyu celebrated the New Year in this lively atmosphere for the first time, which was both novel and exciting, and soon integrated into the atmosphere of this big family.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Han Fei's plan was full, first of all, to participate in the court meeting, and then, as a quasi-concubine, he would enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Emperor Taishang and the emperor, and later, he would go to Jia's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings to Jia's mother and others. There is another thing, the lottery income in the last month of last year, I also have to report to the emperor.

Before dawn, Han Fei got up, freshened up and put on his official uniform, hastily ate a few pieces of cake, and rushed to the palace to participate in the Fengtian Palace court meeting. The routine court meeting is basically a group of harmony, hello, hello, everyone, the monarch and the minister congratulate each other on a happy new year. No one will risk the world's condemnation on the first day of the first lunar month, and they will not be happy.

However, after a set of etiquette, coupled with the ministers taking turns to deliver congratulatory sheets, it was close to noon at the end of the court. Han Fei withdrew from the main hall, bowed his hand to Gong Jing and others, and hurried to the emperor's imperial study, and met the waiting celebrant and eunuch Huang Ye on the way, took the lottery account book, and walked into the imperial study.

The emperor changed into a regular dress, walked into the imperial study, and said: "Han Aiqing, there is no need to let me see the lottery account book, you can do things, I can trust it!" It's not early, Huang Ye sent the lottery proceeds to the inner treasury for accounting, and Han Aiqing went with me to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor! ”

"Wechen obeys!"

The emperor and Han Fei walked out of the imperial study one after the other. After walking for a while, the emperor waved his hand to let the accompanying attendants retreat, and then said to Han Fei: "Han Aiqing, I have considered your suggestion to set up a commercial bureau these days, which is indeed beneficial to the imperial court, but if the commercial bureau is formally established by the imperial court, I am afraid that it will be difficult, I decided to set up a commercial bureau in the name of the inner court and hand it over to Han Aiqing to take care of it, what do you think?" ”

Han Fei pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the establishment of the Commercial Bureau in the name of the Inner Court is indeed a lot less cumbersome procedures, but as long as the Commercial Bureau is established, no matter what the name is, it is an institution of the Imperial Court, especially the Commercial Bureau involves huge interests, and it will inevitably be discussed by courtiers and officials. In order to avoid unnecessary constraints, Wechen suggested that the Commercial Bureau be set up in the name of the Inner Court, but the officials in it would still be transferred by the Ministry of Officials, and the income of the Commercial Bureau would be allocated to the treasury of the Ministry of Household according to a certain proportion. ”

The emperor bowed his head and said: "Han Aiqing's words are reasonable, I am approved, Aiqing will set up the Commercial Bureau as soon as possible, and still let Huang Ye assist you on behalf of the inner court, if you need anything, you can come and tell me!" ”

"Wechen obeys!" Han Fei hurriedly agreed.

"In addition, the matter of blast furnace steelmaking and the development of new firearms mentioned by Aiqing before can also be carried out, what kind of people do you need, make a list of items, and I will ask the Ministry of Industry to transfer it to you!"

"Your Majesty, my Great North Xinjiang is still unstable, and Beihu is eyeing it, and I am afraid that he will also send a fine work into my Dahua to inquire about the military situation, and Weichen thinks that the matter of blast furnace steelmaking and the development of new firearms should be secret. Weichen has the ministry of inspecting the imperial history, and His Majesty ordered Weichen to inspect the ordnance superintendent, and use some suitable talents to be transferred. The site for the construction of blast furnaces and the development of firearms should also be far away from the capital, and Weichen believed that the site could be selected in the Jinmen Mountains, which was strictly sealed by the Jinyi Prefecture, and it was forbidden to enter without a special pass. ”

"Okay, Aiqing has thought it through, I'm right!"

"Your Majesty, Weichen wants to take care of the Commercial Bureau, and he can't go to Jinmen to supervise it, and I ask Your Majesty to appoint a promotion officer to take care of all affairs!"

"Well, this promotion officer must endure loneliness and hardship, and he must fully cooperate with Aiqing, does Aiqing have a suitable candidate?"

Han Fei was silent, otherwise he thought of his father Jia Zheng, and said busily: "Your Majesty, Weichen's father, Jia Zheng, a member of the Ministry of Labor, can take on this responsibility!" ”

"Aiqing's father is indeed a suitable candidate, but he is old and running back and forth, is his body able to eat?"

"Thank you Your Majesty for your care, after Weichen leaves the palace, I will ask my father's wishes!"

"Okay, this matter will be handed over to Aiqing to be fully responsible!"
