Cheng Ziyu knew that the emperor was not suspicious, but that he was used to questioning everything.

"Your Majesty, the most difficult sketch took half a month, and then the board was made, which took nearly ten days, and the firing and glazing only took nearly ten days. The folk girl slept for two hours a day, and finally completed the work five days ago. As for the golden dragon, it is not difficult to find the largest gold shop in Jinling to build. ”

The Emperor snorted:

"If you don't use the golden dragon and don't use the gemstone as a guide, the size will be reduced to a quarter, the accuracy will not change, and the fineness will be reduced, can it be mass-produced?"

"Yes. The small amount can be done manually, and if the amount is large, the mold can be opened and grouted, and the difficulty is not great. ”

"Then, I want to place an order, and I will first place 5,000 copies of the territory map of the pottery plate. The size is a quarter of today's ceramic plate, and the shape is the same as today's model. I gave the Cheng family half a year, maybe it will be completed? ”

Cheng and Cheng Ziyu stepped forward again to receive the order. Why does it take half a year to open the mold production, as long as the mold is made, 5,000 copies is a matter of three months at most.

"Good! My greatest requirement is to be precise, to be as precise as possible! As for the rest, the requirements can be appropriately relaxed. ”

"The grass people/folk girls should do their best!" Cheng replied loudly, excited in his heart.

The Cheng family has supplied the royal family for many years, but there has never been such a large number of orders, and the most important thing is that this order was placed by the emperor himself in front of everyone. This is unprecedented in the Jingxi pottery world. Today's order, today's ceremony, today's banquet, and today's name of the Cheng family will all be recorded in history......

From now on, the Cheng family will truly carry forward the ancestral industry and be the first potter from all over the world.

Cheng Ziyu was also secretly relieved. Everything was even better than she expected. In this way, the Cheng family was not only a royal supplier, but also a supplier to the imperial court.

Buying and selling from the emperor's house to the state apparatus was clearly a big leap. After today, I am afraid that the Cheng family is really known in Da Zhou.

"Get up! After the pottery plate system, the officials above the five grades in the DPRK, all the nobles in Beijing can receive a piece, hang it at home, I have the officials in the heart of the country, I will be strong day after day, the country is rich and the people are strong, borrow Miss Cheng's auspicious words, then the sight of the territory is boundless is just around the corner! ”

Another three shouts long live.

was originally a good reception banquet, but inexplicably the air was filled with such a layer of high patriotic feelings.

Cheng Ziyu gave the old man a look, and the old man whispered to her to make the decision at will.

So, she added a fire.

"It is used for the imperial court, for hundreds of officials, and for the growth of my Great Zhou, my Cheng family naturally has to do its part, and the Cheng family is willing to make another two thousand copies for free after completing the order!"

The original words had already reached her lips, but her heart turned and she quickly changed her words.

What she wanted to say was "My Cheng family is willing to take out half of the profits to do good", but then she thought about it, the emperor may not care about doing good.

Then she wanted to say that she would only charge a cost price, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.

What will be half of the profit at that time? And how much does it cost? If the words sound so good, why not give all the profits? Why not just do it for free? …… In case someone finds fault or provokes trouble, the gain outweighs the loss.

Therefore, it is better to buy and give away at this moment. It's good, but it's not easy for people to catch the wrong place.

"Good!" The Emperor gave a thumbs up. He didn't think about Cheng Ziyu as much, for him, Cheng Si was not only acquaintance, but also support for him.

"Then on behalf of the imperial court, I would like to thank the Cheng family, Mr. Cheng and Miss Cheng for their generosity! The Cheng family is really an absolute model and example for my Dazhou merchants!"

Unconsciously, the emperor's praise for the Cheng family has become higher and higher. Cheng Ziyu sighed that while the auspicious stars were shining today, she also sighed at the wisdom of every walk. Undoubtedly, what she said and did was in line with the emperor's appetite.

And in the face of acquaintances and favorite minions, the emperor has always been generous. He will neither let the other party suffer, nor will he let go of any opportunity to promote the emperor's grace and show his broad-mindedness.

"Since the pottery plate territory map is the result of Miss Cheng's painstaking efforts, then it is up to me to protect Miss Cheng's rights and interests.

According to my mouth, the sole ownership of the pottery plate territory map belongs to the Jingxi Cheng family. If such a territory map appears on the market without the permission of the Cheng family, it will be held accountable according to the law!"

The emperor's sentence is too important! Such a simple sentence not only recognized the Cheng family's sole right to manufacture the territory map, but also tacitly acquiesced that the Cheng family could not only manufacture the territory map for the imperial court, but also buy and sell the territory map due to circulation.

He has secured a lot of wealth for the Cheng family!

If nothing else, after today, the emperor is full of praise, and the territory map of the pottery plate in the hands of the officials and nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty will inevitably trigger a round of enthusiasm and pursuit, and a large number of craftsmen and merchants will inevitably invest in the manufacture of the territory map......

But the emperor helped the Cheng family put an end to this possibility. For him, it was just a gesture, but for the Cheng family, it meant a lot of wealth.

Cheng Ziyu and the old man thanked him again.

She didn't look at the audience. Inadvertently, she saw Concubine Zhao's increasingly bright and soft eyes.

Of course, the chatter of several sitting generals also drifted into Cheng Ziyu's ears.

They are lamenting that this thing is good, but the practicality is still poor, and it is a pity that it is not suitable for marching and fighting.

Cheng Ziyu's heart moved.

She and the old man had returned to their seats, but she knelt down again before the next round of visitors, and she said that she still had some thoughts on what the generals had said.

The emperor also heard those discussions, and nodded his head to order her to speak up.

"The folk girl felt that if the pottery could be used for the march as a terrain guide, it would still have a great advantage."

The generals again bluntly said that it was inappropriate, saying that Tao would be broken as soon as he fell, and it was not as good as paper.

"It is true that the pottery has not been dropped, but what if the outside is covered with a layer of anti-fall iron shell? What if it's designed to be foldable and easy to carry? What if the formation is made according to the terrain? What if you have a compass? ”

She knew that the maps of the Great Zhou march were mostly made of paper or fur. Portable is good, but it is easy to break, and if it is greasy or watery, it will be a mess.

Of course, this is not the worst, the worst thing is that the generals can read the map, but the average soldier is often confused in the face of the map. Large battles are fine, but if they are small assaults, it will be difficult to implement the general's plan in places with complex terrain or mountainous areas.

At this moment, it is not difficult for Cheng Ziyu to implement it.

The concave and convex three-dimensional mountains and rivers are obviously easier to understand than the floor plan, and if you match it with a compass, you can indeed get twice the result with half the effort. If it can be folded, if it can be portable, if it can be kept unbroken, it will be of great use.

The cost of pottery is not high, especially when it is used in small-scale assaults or mountainous areas, even if there is one person, it can prevent large losses......

Of course, this is just an assumption. There are still many problems, especially the terrain that needs to be prepared in advance to fire a large number of ceramic plates......

However, Cheng Ziyu's purpose had already been achieved when she said this!

She didn't plan to really make such a thing, she was just letting the emperor and everyone see her value.
