Wan Miao nodded lightly and gently asked, "Be careful!" ”

In any case, in her opinion, money is still something outside the body, and keeping herself safe is the most important thing.

When Du Bai walked over, he could see the prefect in civilian clothes listening to a report from a person at the same table who was supposed to be an official.

“…… A few days ago, near the foot of the mountain, there was a situation where the chickens, ducks, birds and beasts raised by the farmers were eaten raw by a female baby, and the farmers tried to catch her and were injured, which is very strange, I am afraid it is a little ......."

The prefect was listening with a frown, but when he looked up and saw Du Bai coming, he waved his hand to the people around him: "Okay, let's talk about these things later, now that the official has guests coming, it is not very convenient." ”

"Yes!"

The official wanted to continue, but he could only obey the order, get up and retreat to the side, leaving a seat for Du Bai.

Du Bai glanced at the few people present, but there was no feeling of Hongmen banquet, but it was quite harmonious, which made him a little confused for a while, and he didn't understand the intention of inviting himself over.

"Your Excellency is the Su family's Du Bai Du Gongzi? You may be seated, but you are welcome. "The prefect did not put on an official show, but was quite kind like an ordinary elder.

This is not the same as what Du Bai saw in Zhu Erdan's dream.

It seems that the impression of the individual is different, and Jurdan is more serious.

After Du Bai sat down, he thought about it and took the initiative to ask, "I don't know why the prefect invited Xiaomin over?" ”

He doesn't like hypocrisy and wrongdoing, so it's better to be straightforward.

The prefect stroked his beard and smiled: "You don't have to worry, it's a good thing that this official is looking for your Su family to come over." ”

"I heard that your Su family has recently produced a special kind of glaze, which is of high quality and amazing. This official also played with one two days ago, and it is indeed good. ”

"This official will ask you, is the glass really made by your Su family itself?"

Sure enough, the topic still came to this.

Du Bai nodded: "This matter is true. My lord should have heard about Deputy Envoy Fan a few days ago, even the Rong family can't imitate it, and I have confidence in the next, I'm afraid that only our Su family is the only one who can make glass in the world. ”

There was no need to conceal this, so he told it truthfully, and found out with the prefect's ability.

"Sure enough." The prefect seemed to be quite happy, but the next topic made Du Bai even more surprised.

"This kind of treasure is rare in the world, have you ever thought of paying tribute to the palace and turning it into a tribute?"

"Offering?"

Du Bai was taken aback.

This matter is not a small fight like before, if it is related to the current emperor, the slightest carelessness will ruin the family, but the same opportunities and dangers coexist, if it makes Longyan happy, it is not impossible to turn over and achieve a great cause.

It seems that this prefect is very confident in the Su family's glass!

Du Bai had some guesses in his heart, but he still made a look of sincere fear on his face: "Back to my lord, I don't dare to think about this matter, I only dare to follow the orders of the adult......"

"Hehe, you don't have to be so careful, I heard that you and Fan Yilin's kid didn't fall behind in a face-to-face confrontation, but you don't look like someone who would be afraid of these things."

The prefect said with a smile: "If you can come up with ten pieces of top-grade glaze within half a month, this official can make the decision and hand over the quota for this official kiln to your Su family!" ”

Du Bai's heart sank, it seems that he is coming for real!

Is the prefect planning to take the official kiln?

He had also heard some rumors before, saying that the quality of Lin'an's official kiln had deteriorated in recent years, which had affected the number of places to be supplied.

First of all, it is necessary to understand that although the offering here is given to the palace for free, the benefits are obvious, it can be regarded as paying protection money to the government, and even becoming a "friend" of the government.

Not only is it no longer the small businessman who had a relatively low status and can be bullied by anyone, but it has become an existence equal to or even more transcendent than the officials, and he can also get a certain priority in the purchase of the government, and his reputation is also very different......

These invisible benefits, if you can exchange them for a few small glasses, then the Su family really makes a lot of money!

In the past, this status was occupied by the Dingyao, which is also one of the main reasons for the transcendent status of the official kiln.

But in recent years, it is clear that some people have become too comfortable and forget the purpose of their existence, which has caused dissatisfaction among the prefects.

It's just that things are still a little strange......

Du Bai thought for a while and asked again: "Ten top-level glazes should be available to our Su family, but I don't know ...... the official kiln."

This matter is not like an ordinary sentence that can be simply brought over, no matter how downtrodden the official kiln is, it is also an official kiln, if it is not for some deep reason, the prefect will rashly offend some people to take this place?

He did not believe.

At this time, the stage below has begun to sing, babbling is quite lively, all kinds of Hua Dan, Dao Ma Dan, Xiaosheng, Wusheng frequently appear, endlessly, with the promotion of the storyline, cheers one after another, there are also some guys who are too deep into the play scolding.

The prefect seemed to be fascinated by the play, and did not reply for a while, Du Bai did not urge, but waited quietly.

After waiting for a while, the prefect's calm voice sounded again: "Do you know...... Who's in charge of the kiln now? ”

As he spoke, he tapped lightly on the tabletop, as if to follow the rhythm of the music below, and in fact he could feel some emotional changes in his heart.

Someone who can make the prefect in charge of a prefecture feel anxious......

Du Bai was silent for a moment: "Xiaomin doesn't know. ”

"Fan Xuewen, Lord Governor." The prefect said lightly, "That is, Fan Yilin's father who is-for-tat with you." ”

"Governor!" Du Bai's heart suddenly became a little clear.

It's no wonder that Fan Yilin is so arrogant, no wonder even the prefect can't help the other party, it turns out to be the governor......

The governor's position himself is one level higher than that of the prefect, which indirectly has already established Fan Yilin's status in this place.

"The Fan family is becoming more and more proud now, and there are many people who speak for him among the ministers of the DPRK and China, and there are also many guests who give advice to him, do you know the reason for this?"

The prefect didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and talked about many secrets in officialdom.

"Because the silver ......"

And where the money comes from, these businesses controlled by his subordinates are one of the sources. Thinking that the official kiln was supposed to make porcelain for the emperor, but now it has become a means of collecting money for the Fan family, which is really a bit disgraceful......"

It seems that this adult has also been depressed in his heart for a long time, and at this moment, there are no outsiders around who are not unhappy, and there is a bit of obvious anger in his voice.

It was also because he saw that the Su family was obviously not in the same group as the Fan family, so he was so outspoken.
