Chapter 220: Tribute

"What do they want?"

Yue Zangfeng snorted, "Prince Groh proposed that if we lose, they want me to teach the Heathrow porcelain firing technique for free. ”

Li Jingshan sighed and suddenly realized.

The Dalang Dynasty had many trade contacts with overseas countries, and also opened up the "Silk Road" by land and sea. Among the goods shipped to various countries, the most popular are all kinds of fine porcelain. It is said that Dalang's porcelain is at the same price as gold abroad. Only the princes and nobles could afford it. And owning a piece of porcelain has become a symbol of status.

It's just that the porcelain is fragile, and after long-distance transportation, the breakage and loss rate is high, which raises his value even more, and even often has no price.

The Heathrow Kingdom has been unjust for a long time when he has seen his country's wealth flowing into the Great Lang Kingdom because of this small piece of porcelain. Now, I have taken the opportunity of the Hajj to bring this technology back to China.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Could it be that the Holy One agreed? Li Jingshan asked in surprise.

"Father thinks that this is a good time to raise the prestige of our country and make Xiyi completely surrender." The voice of the fourth prince came from the door.

The two looked up, and saw the four princes walking in, still wearing the prince's robe and court clothes, obviously they had just finished receiving the envoys of Naheathrow, and before they could return to the palace to change their clothes, they came.

He raised his hand to exempt Li Jingshan and Yue Zangfeng from saluting, and continued, "Moreover, the smelting technology of the Heathrow Kingdom is indeed unique. A few years ago, my father got a treasure knife made in another country, which was really sharp and sharp. If you can learn the technology, it will be of great benefit to the army's weapon manufacturing. ”

Yue Zangfeng said disdainfully: "The exquisite smelting technology was also present in the previous dynasty, and the famous swords created such as 'Cutting the Moon' and 'Condensing Frost' must not be inferior to their Heathrow Kingdom." ”

"What Master Yue said is extremely true." The fourth prince didn't think it was wrong, and only smiled slightly, "It's just that after the war in the last years of the previous dynasty, these technologies have all been lost, and even the record books have been lost, and there is no way to find them." Even these famous soldiers and blades are only in people's oral legends. My father wanted to recreate the splendor of these technologies. ”

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be better for the two countries to simply sign an agreement and exchange technology?" Li Jingshan said confusedly.

"The problem is that people don't want to." The fourth prince pursed his lips and smiled, "Heathrow came to the Hajj this time to fight the idea of an empty glove white wolf. ”

Although Yue Zangfeng has passed the age of not being confused, he is still an arrogant character, and immediately snorted: "Then why should we get used to him, anyway, he came to beg us, and we didn't ask him!" ”

The fourth prince smiled a little helplessly, "But I can't stand my imperial grandmother's liking of that jewelry." ”

Li Jingshan and Yue Zangfeng: "............"

Li Jingshan aroused her curiosity again and asked: "I don't know what kind of fun and new ingenuity the jewelry that can make the Queen Mother happy." Can we have the pleasure of having a look? ”

"This king is here for this purpose." The fourth prince said: "That set of jewelry has been honored by my father to the imperial grandmother." After a few days, the king will go to lend it to the imperial grandmother for you to ponder and study. The Superintendent of Ceremonies is already drawing up an order, and will soon send an order for the Bureau to come up with a design plan. ”

Speaking of this, the fourth prince paused, and said with a straight face: "Father and the emperor have issued an edict, this competition is related to the national system, only victory, not defeat!" ”

"We're here/Obey the order!"

The fourth prince breathed a sigh of relief, remembered something again, and smiled strangely, "There is one more thing." Prince Naheathrow proposed that during the competition, he would borrow the workshop of our Treasure Bureau. Master Yue, you can make room for him to empty the house. ”

Yue Zangfeng pursed his lips dissatisfiedly, "Hmph, at this time, you are not afraid that we will steal his craft...... Hey, no, how did you give him an empty house? ”

The fourth prince grinned, "People brought their own tools." ”

After finishing the business, the fourth prince stood up and shook his court clothes, "Okay, it's time for this king to go." Ah Shan," he winked at Li Jingshan, "Don't you send one to this king?" ”

Li Jingshan: "......"

Seeing Yue Zangfeng looking at them suspiciously, she hurriedly got up and walked to the door, "Humble and respectful to the Fourth Highness." ”

The fourth prince and Li Jingshan walked out of the Sizhen Bureau side by side, and when they walked through the workshop, they deliberately approached Li Jingshan and chuckled in her ear: "Now it seems that you are doing well in the Sizhen Bureau." The method of the fox and the fake tiger is easy to use, right? ”

"Thank you for the amulet from Your Highness." Li Jingshan uncomfortably pulled away a little distance, and sure enough, she saw the eyes full of curiosity around her, and she didn't have the courage to respond, "Now the mana of the talisman has been blessed by His Highness, and the mana is even more boundless." ”

The fourth prince laughed, "Then you have to remember the good of this king." "Wave your sleeves and leave in style.

-

At the end of January, the four princes sent the set of Heathrow tribute ornaments for the craftsmen of the Sizhen Bureau to observe and study.

This set of 78 pieces of jewelry, including 38 headdresses and 16 chest ornaments, is a medium-sized piece of jewelry. Each piece is decorated with a large number of precious stones, and it is meticulously carved and luxurious.

The craftsmen gathered around and scrambled to inspect the exquisite jewelry. A few people were looking around a topaz chest. The brooch is in the shape of a firefly, and it is made of complete feet and lifelike, and even the wings are made of thin gold sheets.

"It's just that the form is more realistic, and it's not unusual." There are disdainful pouts of the craftsman.

Li Jingshan didn't speak, put on gloves, pinched the firefly's abdomen with one hand, and carefully pulled the firefly's thin wings with the other. Everyone was amazed to see the wings slowly spread out to the sides, revealing a body carved from a whole piece of beeswax underneath, and at the bottom, inlaid with a citrine stone, glowing faintly.

Everyone was silent for a while, and after a while, someone exclaimed, "This is making jewelry with the skill of making tricks." "Immediately won a burst of echo.

The crowd turned to other pieces of jewelry, and found similar mechanisms on each piece: the petals of the flower could open and close, and the leaves could move. Even that firefly can be disassembled on the main flower by adjusting a small needle in the abdomen.

Everyone has never seen such a design, and they are all talking about these changeable designs. But Li Jingshan looked at those ingenious designs and was fascinated. She thought of the distant modern era, the modern civilization that began to develop from the mechanical industrial revolution.

"Ah Shan, what's wrong, what are you thinking?" Yue Zangfeng asked.

Li Jingshan came back to her senses and hid her thoughts, "It's nothing, it's just the sentence I just thought: This is the craft of doing machine skills." ”

She smiled faintly: "This is not something that our Jin Yuzuo can easily control." ”

"Don't be presumptuous." Yue Zangfeng said lightly, "Just use your strengths and avoid your weaknesses." These crafts are just swords, not real jewelry craftsmanship. ”

Li Jingshan thought about it, exhaled lightly, and smiled, "Yes, thank you for the reminder." ”

"Hmph, what do you say about the sword going sideways, I think it's just resting on your laurels." A sneer came from behind.

As soon as I turned around, I saw a curly-haired man with a high nose and deep eyes, with handsome eyebrows and sharp eyes. Li Jingshan looked familiar, and Yue Zangfeng bowed and saluted, "I've seen Prince Gro." ”

Li Jingshan suddenly realized that it was the chief envoy of Heathrow who had seen him from afar upstairs on the day the Heathrow mission entered Beijing, Prince Gro.

Prince Gro nodded proudly, "Your country has accepted our challenge and promised to set aside a workshop in your workshop for our craftsmen. ”

He looked around, finally stared at Yue Zangfeng and asked, "Today we are here to take over and resettle." Father-in-law An, who is in charge here, let's arrange it. The last sentence was spoken to the eunuch behind him.

The little father-in-law in the back hurriedly walked out and said to Yue Zangfeng, "Please also ask Steward Yue to make arrangements." ”

Yue Zangfeng was arrogant, he couldn't stand the prince's arrogance, his eyes were about to reply, but Li Jingshan gently pulled his sleeves, took a step forward, and said calmly: "The place has been arranged, please come with me." ”

However, Prince Groh did not move, but tilted his head slightly, and said to the person behind him, "Go over by yourself, and tell me if you have any questions." ”

The person behind him responded softly, the voice was crisp and ethereal, and for a moment Li Jingshan thought of the crisp sound of spring water in the valley.

Prince Gro was still relieved, and explained: "If anyone embarrasses you, tell me immediately." ”

"Understood." The man replied softly.

Gro snorted, "Forgive them and don't dare." He turned around and gently stroked the man's face, smiled ambiguously, and then turned to leave.

Li Jingshan finally saw the person who had been standing behind Gro - the same person who looked at her from a distance and smiled when the mission entered Beijing that day. It turned out that he was the chief craftsman who went to Beijing with the regiment.

This craftsman is quite young, not yet at the age of standing, with delicate and soft eyebrows, always with a touch of shyness and modesty, and the temperament of smiling before saying a word makes people can't help but get close to himβ€”it is a world of difference from his master, Prince Gro.

The craftsman also recognized Li Jingshan. He smiled gently at her first, stepped forward, and introduced himself in a voice like a clear spring, "The first-class craftsman of the Heathrow court, Karis. Fortunately. "It's a pure official word.

"Your official words are so good!" Li Jingshan exclaimed, and smiled gently, "Li Jingshan." Craftsmen were stationed in the court. ”

"I have an aunt from Middle-earth at home, and I learned my official language from her." Karis was still smiling.

Li Jingshan was simply fascinated by his voice, and felt that she was going to drown in that gentle voice. She couldn't help but tease him any longer, "Then your family must be noble." ”

Karis smiled and made a gesture of please. Li Jingshan remembered to lead someone to the workshop, and was busy leading the way, and she didn't have anything to say, "Did you also create that set of tribute jewelry?" ”

Karis smiled lightly, "It was done by the court craftsmen, but I did the main design of the manuscript. The tone was flat, as if he was just saying an ordinary thing.

Li Jingshan knows that the designer who can be used as a national gift tribute must be the top expert.
