The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Wu Mingkong looked at the old face with a blue nose and swollen face in front of him, anger appeared between his eyebrows, and he said coldly: "Who is so bold!" Dare to beat the court officials! Just say that I am in charge of you! ”

Cheng Zhengdao covered one eye, remembered the scene of being beaten before, showed a look of indignation, and gritted his teeth and said: "The one who beat the old minister was Qin Xingyan, the head of the household who was not the son of man!" ”

The voice fell.

Wu Mingkong's expression became a little strange, and he asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Cheng Zhengdao gritted his teeth and said, "Sure!" Even if Qin Xingyan turns to ashes, the old minister can recognize it! ”

Wu Mingkong's expression was strange, and he said, "If I remember correctly, then Qin Xingyan is also in his fifties this year, can he beat you like this?" ”

Cheng Zhengdao raised his eyes to look at Wu Mingkong, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty, is it suspected that the old minister is talking about the river?!" ”

Wu Mingkong waved his hand and said: "I don't have this intention, don't think too much about Cheng Sai Wine......

After a pause, he added, "Then again, why did he beat you?" ”

Cheng Zhengdao gritted his teeth and said: "On the way here, the old minister is also thinking about this problem, there are no more than two reasons, one is that the old man expelled his son from the national prison, he holds a grudge and wants to retaliate, and the other is that the old man wants to impeach the traitor Fang Xiu, as a Fang Party eagle dog, he is dissatisfied with the old man, so he made this poisonous move!" ”

Hear the words "treacherous Fang Xiu".

Wu Mingkong's expression instantly turned cold, and he said coldly:

"I already know about the Daqian Monthly, and I have also replied, what else do you want to impeach?"

When Cheng Zhengdao heard this, he couldn't help but think of those eight words: "The people like it, what do you have to do with it".

His expression suddenly became full of indignation, and he hated that iron could not become steel:

"Your Majesty, the words of the sage, the way is to govern, and all are punished, and the people are free and shameless; The way is virtuous, all are courteous, shameful and qualified, so the old minister thinks ......"

"That's it!"

Wu Mingkong didn't bother to listen to him at all, waved his hand and said, "I know about this matter, you can go back." ”

Cheng Zhengdao was stunned for a moment, and said to himself: "Your Majesty, the sage said, the reason why the king is clear is that he listens to it, and he who is dark is also ...... to believe it."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wu Mingkong:

"You are the priest of the country, not the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, just manage the students of the Guozijian well, and don't get involved in the affairs of the court."

"Your Majesty!"

Cheng Zhengdao's face was sad and indignant.

Wu Mingkong waved his hand: "Go down!" ”

"If a courtier makes a suggestion, His Majesty can not adopt it, but he can't not listen to it, let alone prevent the courtier from speaking, and the sage ...... words."

Cheng Zhengdao stood in place, looking righteous and awe-inspiring, gushing endlessly.

Wu Mingkong finally couldn't tolerate it, slapped the table, and said coldly:

"Someone! Send the sacrificial wine back to the country! ”

"Your Majesty!"

Cheng Zhengdao also wanted to admonish.

Two palace maids came in and escorted him out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Wu Mingkong sat on the dragon chair, looking at his back, thinking of what Fang Xiu had told him before, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said in his heart: If the war starts, this Cheng Zhengdao will definitely oppose it with the doctrine of education.

Since you have decided to support Fang Xiu, in the face of this potential threat, you can't be merciful!

Come to think of this.

Wu Mingkong made a decision and commanded:

"Spread my will, let the prince of the country sacrifice wine Cheng Zhengdao concentrate on the book, and without my order, you must not leave Minglun Hall."

Lin Wan'er said: "Yes, Your Majesty! ”

Wu Mingkong nodded, suddenly thought of something, and asked:

"Fang Xiu, traitor, what have you been doing these two days?"

The word traitor, blurted out, is purely customary.

Lin Wan'er replied:

"As far as the slave maid knows, Fang Xiang and the shopkeeper of Zhenbao Zhai held a glass exhibition in the south of the city, exhibiting all kinds of glass utensils, and invited the powerful and wealthy merchants of various countries to come and taste them."

"Is this going to sell glass?"

Wu Mingkong's eyes showed a hint of anticipation, and he muttered to himself:

"I don't know how much silver I can sell."

"I hope there's a million taels."

Lin Wan'er thought for a while and said:

"The glass exhibition is tonight, if Your Majesty wants to go, the slave can ask Fang Xiang for an invitation."

Wu Mingkong thought for a while, waved his hand and said:

"There are only three or four months left before the beginning of spring, and there are still many things to ask.

I won't go to the glass exhibition, and when it's over, I'll tell me directly how much silver I've sold. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

............

Chang'an Mansion.

Sajin Street in the south of the city.

A middle-aged man in a brocade dress stepped out of the carriage and looked at the restaurant not far away, his eyes flickering.

"How can such a high-quality glass cup be sold for only one hundred taels!"

"Zhenbao Zhai must be using this as a gimmick to trick businessmen from all countries into coming to Chang'an."

"When the people arrive, they will sell the glass cups of inferior quality."

"Generally speaking, as long as it is not too bad and the price is not too high, even if the merchants of all countries are dissatisfied, they will buy some and ship them back when they see that it is profitable."

"Although the method is a little old, it is really useful, but it is a pity...... Ran into me Wu Shengcai! ”

As a businessman who started by selling colored glass, no one knows better than Wu Shengcai.

The quality of the glass cup sent with the invitation can be called one in a million!

It's cheap to sell for a thousand taels.

But Zhenbao Zhai said on the invitation sticker that such a glass cup is only bought for one hundred taels.

If you think about it, you know that it is impossible!

Maybe Zhenbao Zhai will indeed pick out a few such high-quality glass cups and sell them for only one hundred taels.

However, it is impossible for every glass cup of the same quality to be sold at this price.

Unless, Zhenbao Zhai has mastered the more advanced technology of firing glass, and the glass cups produced have such quality.

However, in Wu Shengcai's eyes, this is absolutely impossible!

"My Wu family started with glaze, and it has been more than 60 years now."

"The mastered firing method of glaze is constantly improving, and the glaze produced is still not up to such quality, let alone the treasure that suddenly appeared?"

"Even if they go out of their shit luck, find out the technology of firing glass, and fire some high-quality glass, how can they all be like this!"

"There must be deception in this!"

"When the merchants of all countries arrive and see that the quality of the glass is not as expected, it is time for my Wu family to show off their skills!"

Wu Sheng thought of this, a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, looked at the servant behind him, and asked:

"Everything?"

The servant held a wooden box in his hand and said, "If you go back to the master, it's all packed." ”

Wu Shengcai said: "These are all glazed glass fired by the latest method, one piece is worth five hundred taels, if you bump it, take you and ask!" ”

When the servant heard this, his expression hesitated, and he said:

"Master, the little one asks a lot, do you really plan to sell these glasses for five hundred taels?"

Wu Shengcai's brows furrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "Why not?" ”

The servant said: "The little eye is clumsy, I really can't see that our glass cup, compared with Zhenbao Zhai, what is better, people only sell one hundred taels, we sell five hundred taels, this price is not too bad." ”

When Wu Shengcai heard this, he snorted coldly, and said angrily:

"Idiot!"

"Do you really think that Jumbo Zhai can produce such high-quality glass?"

"Even my Wu family can't do it, how can they do it!"

"Of that kind of quality glass, it's good to have a dozen pieces, but the big head is still a poor quality glass."

"The one hundred and twenty-one pieces that Zhenbao Zhai said also refer to those glasses."

"Although our glass is not as carefully selected as Zhenbao Zhai, it is much better than the ordinary glass!"

"Five hundred taels of silver, sir, I still think it's cheap!"

When the servant heard this, he glanced at Wu Shengcai and said cautiously:

"Then what if Zhenbao Zhai can really produce high-quality glass on a large scale?"

The voice fell.

Wu Shengcai was slightly stunned, and his eyes showed a trance.

Obviously, he hadn't thought about it at all.

After all, in his eyes, the Wu family's technology for firing glaze is the best in the world, how can this sudden Zhenbao Zhai be compared with it.

After a few seconds of silence.

Wu Shengcai's face was angry, glared at the servant, and scolded: "You dog! Do your own thing, where did so much nonsense come from! ”

The servant didn't dare to speak for a moment and lowered his head.

"Dog thing!"

Wu Shengcai looked at him, and recalled the question just now, and became inexplicably upset.

I wanted to give him a kick, but I was afraid of falling the glass, but I still didn't do it.

Turning his head to look at the restaurant, he shouted:

"Keep up!"

No longer hesitated, and walked over.

In front of the restaurant, there are all kinds of luxury carriages parked on the side of the road.

A rough count shows that there are hundreds.

This also means that in order to hold this glass exhibition, Zhenbao Zhai sent out hundreds of invitations.

If every invitation comes with a superb glass cup, it is a full hundred.

Even if it is calculated according to one hundred taels of silver, it is a full ten thousand taels of silver!

Wu Shengcai saw it, and couldn't help but praise in his heart: Generous!

Meantime.

I was inexplicably a little apprehensive.

How much glass has Zhenbaozhai hoarded, and it is necessary to use such means to attract magnates and businessmen from all over the world.

Could it be that there are so many of them that they can't sell them all in the territory of Qianguo?

How is this possible!

Although the Qianguo is weak, there are not many rich people, even if there are 10,000 pieces of high-quality colored glass, they can eat it.

Thinking of this, Wu Shengcai's brows furrowed slightly, and the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

Take a deep breath, calm down, force yourself not to think about the mess, and walk into the restaurant.

As soon as you enter the restaurant, the first thing that catches your eye is the magnates and businessmen in brocade clothes.

Immediately afterwards, you can see that there are many tall wooden benches on the first floor.

On the wooden bench are a variety of glass utensils.

Wu Shengcai walked to a wooden bench, looked up, and saw a delicate glass hairpin placed on it.

The color is colorful, the quality is crystal clear, and it looks dazzling under the sunlight!

This quality of glazed hairpins can be described as one in a hundred!

If you put it in the Wu family's shop, it can be sold for a high price of at least three hundred taels!

"A glass cup of 1,000 taels is only sold for 100 taels."

"I don't know, how many taels of glazed hairpins worth three hundred taels will be sold."

Wu Shengcai carefully looked at the glazed hairpin and muttered to himself.

Immediately after, a voice came from behind him.

"Master, sell it for thirty taels."

Wu Shengcai was slightly stunned, turned his head and glared at the servant, and scolded:

"Dog thing! What! ”

"Glazed hairpins of this quality sell for thirty taels?"

"You think the people of Jumbo Zhai are as stupid as you?!"

The servant was inexplicably reprimanded like this, and his face showed a look of grievance, and said: "Selling thirty taels is not a small one, it is said by the people of Zhenbao Zhai!" ”

Wu Shengcai was stunned, even more annoyed, and said angrily:

"You dog dare to talk back!"

"Why didn't I hear someone say that this thing sells for thirty taels!"

The servant stretched out his hand and pointed to the wooden bench and said aggrievedly:

"It's written on it!"

After a pause, he added:

"Although the little one has never read a book, he knows a few words, and he can tell the difference between thirty and three hundred."

Wu Shengcai was slightly stunned, and subconsciously turned his head to look.

A line of Xiujuan's small characters on the wooden bench is clearly visible.

"No. 1 glazed hairpin, the price is thirty taels, and the number is ten thousand."

The price is thirty taels.

Also 10,000.

This, how is this possible!

Wu Shengcai looked at this line of small characters.

His eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly in disbelief.

There was only one thought in my head:

"It can't be!"
