Chapter 297: Shocked for Two Hundred Years

Zhang Defa was shocked.

The emperor has always been very particular, and he never goes to sleep elsewhere in the palace, even if the dragon bed in the Cangchen Hall is not to his liking, he is very disgusted.

What's more, sleeping on the cramped small bed in the west side hall of Tingli Courtyard?

That's not all, the emperor didn't like the palace concubines to get close to them in the past, and he was very impatient with them, except for pretending in front of the queen mother, it was difficult for the palace concubines to approach at all.

And Pear Blossom broke the emperor's conventions one by one, not only letting the emperor take the initiative to approach, but also making the emperor try his best to curry favor, which was already very incredible in Zhang Defa's opinion.

I didn't expect anything more incredible.

For the sake of Pear Blossom, the emperor deigned to lean on the small bed that did not pay attention to it, and uncharacteristically let Pear Blossom hold it, patiently fan people, and let people sleep soundly.

Which point has broken through Zhang Defa's insight, it is unimaginable!

No wonder Zhang Defa was shocked, he hadn't seen the emperor and Pear Blossom get along much.

The most shocking time was only the time when he saw the emperor tie pear blossom's hair.

That time alone shocked Zhang Defa with five thunders, making him understand what big mistake he had made, and then he was busy with his big mistake, and he made up for the danger.

But compared to this time, it was a complete trivial.

He had never seen the emperor so close to a concubine, with a gentle expression, like a treasure.

In the past, the emperor was kind to pear blossoms, such as personally selecting ornaments and jewelry, and writing letters, in Zhang Defa's view, it was just the emperor's normal move to a favorite concubine, and it was the interest of leisure time.

And this time it was clearly different.

For the first time in his lifetime, Zhang Defa saw that the emperor tolerated everything that was usually intolerable, and coaxed the pear blossoms to sleep.

Wipe the sweat and fan the Wu Meiren, the movements are gentle, let the Wu Meiren sleep crookedly, and I am afraid that people will sleep uncomfortably, what is that not coaxing?

There is also a performance to go to Tingli Courtyard, which is also the first time Zhang Defa has seen it.

However, compared to seeing the emperor coaxing the pear blossom to sleep, and what I saw at the court meeting today, it is nothing to carry the music and fold it to Tingli Courtyard.

Speaking of today's court meeting, it was the first incident that shocked Zhang Defa for a hundred years.

The thousand-year-old model emperor of the dynasty, because of the arrival of Xiao Shunzi, announced on the spot that he had nothing to do and retired from the court, leaving behind the terrified courtiers in the palace.

Zhang Defa was stunned at the time, so he could only stay and clean up the stall and deal with emergencies with an unfathomable face.

It is also to blame the courtiers for not being angry.

At that time, the court meeting had just finished bowing, and the courtiers were waiting in fear to see who would be forked out of the court meeting today, and they did not dare to come out.

There have been no particularly major events at the recent DPRK meeting, and because of the good preparations for rainy days during the flood season this summer, people have already been sent to flood prevention and evacuation in places where flooding occurred frequently in previous years, and the news of the return from various localities is still good.

It stands to reason that the courtiers should be more down-to-earth, after all, there is nothing serious, at least nothing that makes the emperor angry.

But the courtiers really didn't know the bottom, because several ministers of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households fought before the meeting, and there was a lot of commotion.

Sure enough, the number of people who were forked out of the pilgrimage this time was extraordinarily spectacular!

These people are good at dying, and they are all ministers who have something to do.

The things they discussed were not big, small or urgent, but they involved a dispute between the two ministries, and they quarreled so much that they quarreled for several days in a row.

Thanks to the countdown brand, the work efficiency of each ministry is unprecedented, and the courtiers roll up with each other.

A minister of industry suddenly discovered that the quality of porcelain circulating to the people in the official kilns under his jurisdiction had risen to a higher level, and the number had increased a lot.

The porcelain produced in the official kilns since ancient times was mainly used in the palace.

In the official kilns of previous dynasties, all the porcelain that was not in good condition would be destroyed, but the emperor of this dynasty felt that it was a waste and opened his brain, and he pioneered the sale of these porcelains to the people.

The porcelain produced by the official kiln is incomparable with the folk kiln, and even if the porcelain in the palace is not in good condition, it is also a rare top grade among the people.

This son of heaven is a door-picker, but he is well versed in financial management and governance.

He didn't want to get a bad reputation for officials and the people competing for profits, but also wanted to make money clearly, and it was best to have a good reputation.

So this Son of Heaven thought of a trick, and specially explained that the selling price was set very high, and at the same time, it was sold in limited quantities, and then let people specially pick the upper class people, and spread the news of the porcelain outflow from the official kiln of the Son of Heaven.

Sure enough, the rich people heard the wind and rushed to chase after them, and they were proud of the porcelain fired by the official kiln at home.

Some rich and noble families even went to great lengths to get back a set of porcelain to make a dowry for their daughters.

was so beaten by this son of heaven, the leeks of the big businessmen and the big landlords and rich people were harvested by stubble, and the people lived their lives as they should.

The porcelain flowing out of the official kiln did not have an impact on the private kiln at all.

The ministers at the time were strongly opposed.

How can the Son of Heaven do this, what a loss of share, and he must not be infamous for being greedy for money, which will have an extremely bad impact on future generations.

At this moment, the Son of Heaven waved his hand again and announced that fifty percent of the silver earned would be put into the treasury to be used to build water conservancy and disaster relief and save the people.

Seeing this, the ministers put out the fire one after another, they can generate revenue for the treasury without harming the interests of the people, and the rich begged to buy it, hello, I am hello, everyone, why not.

So they changed their words one after another, and said in a high-sounding manner that our emperor was shengming, so that the porcelain that should have been destroyed should play a greater role, and really did practical things for the people, which was really the emperor of the ages.

As for the other fifty percent of the silver going into the private treasury of the Son of Heaven, the ministers selectively pretended to be blind and had no objection at all.

In this way, the tradition of official kilns has been passed down to this day.

But the Minister of Industry found that something was wrong, those with bad quality can be circulated to the people, and how can good ones be sold to the people?

And the number has increased so much, in case there is not enough in the palace, he will not have enough to cut off ten heads, so he began to investigate the matter.

Coincidentally, when a minister of the household department was settling accounts, he suddenly found that the income of the treasury porcelain had increased several times, and he felt that something was wrong, and he also began to investigate.

The two parties investigated the same thing at the same time, and found that the failure rate of firing ceramics in the latest quarter of the official kiln had greatly decreased, and the output had increased greatly, so the quality and quantity of porcelain flowing to the people had increased.

The ministers of the two ministries were overjoyed, and they were keenly aware that the time had come to make meritorious contributions, and they scrambled to take the credit for their own ministry, so they quarreled.

They quarreled at the court meeting at first, but the emperor didn't eat their set at all, and only asked lightly: "Why has the porcelain of the official kiln increased greatly, how many Aiqing can know?" ”

The two ministers were dumbfounded all of a sudden, and in the process of their investigation, they knew that the other party was also investigating, and they were afraid of being preempted, so they rushed to show their merit without finding out much about the situation.

And in their opinion, the output of the official kiln has increased, and the craftsmen who fired the porcelain must have good skills, what else can it be.

But the emperor refuted on the spot: "Could it be that the skills of craftsmen can suddenly become better?" Then why did it not change in the past, and why did it not hide it? ”
