The two persons in charge of the Qiao Workshop, Xu Weiyi and Jin Che, obeyed Jintong's orders. Reliable house slaves were sent to hundreds of pine-heavy mountains, selecting seven- to fifteen-year-old pine trees as raw materials and collecting pine resin from the bark (cutting the bark for resin).

After successively sending the raw materials to the Qiao Workshop, Jin Che took matters into his own hands and strictly followed the methods given by Jintong. First of all, after the pine oil gradually floats to it, the pine oil is collected, and then the pine resin is filtered to remove the slag, heated to about 150 °C, and distilled to obtain a yellow translucent rosin.

After experimenting with delicate animals such as butterflies, flowers, hummingbirds, etc., the workshop produced hundreds of artificial amber jewelry, and then consciously accumulated enough experience to start playing big.

In the facsimile of Jintong's approximate depiction, Jin Che played with dozens of cranes, and finally succeeded in making a large piece of amber that was one person high, and he was happy to go away.

Jin Che, a workaholic who hadn't rested for half a moment, turned around and continued to burn his colored glass objects.

————————

Since November, red cloth has been hung at the door of every house, and shops and restaurants have posted "Longevity Without Borders" to celebrate the birthday of the Holy Lord.

The eighth day of November is the birthday of the Holy Lord, called the "Thousand Autumn Festival", on which slaughter is forbidden and amnesty is granted to the world to bless the country and the people.

At the beginning of the hour, the Holy Lord and the Empress Jiachen Guifei received the congratulations and gifts of the court officials in the main hall.

Because Zheng Qiyan was fighting abroad, he could only be personally sent by Jintong to send congratulatory gifts on behalf of the Marquis of Pingning, and to see the palace of this dynasty by the way.

Jintong wore the clothes of Mrs. Yipin, and wore a nine-hairpin Baodian flower crown estimated to weigh more than ten catties, and waited for the call of the Holy Lord outside the hall with a group of civil and military officials. She pondered that she represented the Pingning Marquis who had great achievements, and she had to do enough to be full of momentum. Therefore, he does not move three inches in one step like other women, and is as weak as a flower, but holds his head high, does not squint, and strides forward.

Jintong has a long figure, beautiful and bright, standing outside the hall with a cold face, looking calm, and the whole body is as dazzling as standing out from the crowd, attracting countless officials to secretly peek.

He Shou, the sons of the Holy Lord and the four princes, naturally came first. Li Wei, who has been floating a little recently, is full of confidence in his mussel shell, which naturally forms the pattern of the word "longevity", and the big pearl inside. Coupled with the rest of the princes and princes, the birthday gifts given were very ordinary, and Li Wei became even more proud.

Next is the birthday ceremony of the four kings and thirteen marquis one by one, and Li Wei has been controlling his facial expressions.

What Hou Jinwei sent to Jingbei was a double-sided screen inlaid with colored glass. On one side is the "Tiger Roaring Mountain Forest", and on the other side is the "Eagle Strikes the Sky". The colors were gorgeous and lifelike, and the Holy Lord happily took Concubine Chen down to take a closer look, admiring again and again.

"Tricks!" Li Wei managed his expression and secretly slandered.

Jintong voted for the favor of the Holy Lord, and sent a glass wine barrel that was nearly high, with a map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains drawn outside, and the emperor personally inscribed the words: "A barrel of rivers and mountains for ten thousand years", which was full of fifty catties of wine.

The Holy Lord was pleased to open it on the spot, and suddenly the whole hall was filled with the smell of wine. The Holy Lord praised Jintong again and again, and the ministers had to boast again.

The next Xiping Hou was even more powerful, and when he presented the "natural" amber that was more than a foot wide and high for one person, the hall was full of exclamations.

Li Wei's face twitched, and he almost lost control.

There were two cranes sealed inside the amber, one was about to fly, and the other was standing with its neck outstretched, opening its mouth to sing.

Two cranes complement each other, the bottom of the amber is a dwarf pine, the crane spreads its wings and brings up the pine needles scattered on the ground, vaguely forming a "auspicious" word.

This piece of crane amber, Xiping Hou originally planned to give it to King Qing secretly, so that he could rely on the wall of Concubine Chen and open up a number of feasible ways for later use. But he didn't admit that King Qing was not very old, but he had a lot of eyes.

Recently, the Holy Lord has obviously been a lot more kind to Li Wei, King Rui is not angry enough, but King Qing is calm and blindly develops in a low-key manner, this piece of amber crane is so dazzling, he is naturally reluctant to be in the limelight.

He has always liked to hurt people with secret arrows, and it is good to be disgusting and disgusting to others if he can't hurt him, so Xiping Hou is responsible for disgusting King Xian in the Thousand Autumn Festival this time.

Xiping Hou is sleek, is a fairly horizontal wall grass, now the overall situation is undecided, he does not dare to rely on any faction, but it seems that people of which faction, he gets along quite well.

At the beginning, the "Virtuous King" Li Weipi didn't smile, and used a mere five million taels of silver to rob his eight fleets of maritime trade, which directly led to the fact that the Marquis of Xiping is now more and more overstretched.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and the hatred of killing their father is not shared, Xiping Hou has secretly endured it for a long time, but on the surface, Hu Chao is still very respectful to King Xian.

endured until now, and finally seized this good opportunity, not only caught up with King Qing, but also made a big show in front of the Holy Lord, and slapped Li Wei in the face by the way. Three birds with one stone, why not?

"This is the real auspiciousness from heaven!" There are ministers who sigh below.

Feeling King Xian's slightly out of control face, Xiping Hou did not change his face and wrote a short story: "Enlighten the Holy Lord, this piece of natural amber was obtained by Wei Chen unintentionally. ”

Jin Tong in the fugue didn't know that there were so many stories brought out by this piece of amber, and replied in his heart: Heheda, I spent five million taels of silver, equivalent to RMB30 billion, and Brother Onion is not a loser for you!

Jintong is a very grudgeful but "revenge with virtue" child, Xiping Hou actually stinks and shamelessly sends someone to her Niutouzhuang to steal the teacher, this hatred she has always remembered.

Xipinghou thought that she had done it seamlessly, but she didn't know that Jintong had already focused on him in her small notebook.

It's just that Jintong feels that he is beautiful and kind, and he has always been very generous to others, so he made such a big surprise, and the mountain road was sent to Xiping Hou in eighteen bends. Although he earned 3 billion spiritual damages, but the gifts are still exchanged, isn't Xiping Hou getting the strong approval of the Holy Lord with this unique birthday gift?

Win-win, proper win-win!

Jin Tong smiled on his face, smiled in his heart, and continued to listen to how Xiping Hou described to the Holy Lord, how he accidentally fell into the cliff, how he found out that something was wrong in the process of saving himself, and how he went through thousands of difficulties and dangers to transport this crane amber all the way to Shangjing.

I only heard the ministers marvel and fart, and the holy lord's face was as smiling as a chrysanthemum.

Now Xipinghou's name is Hu Chao, after listening to his story of ups and downs and old-fashioned plots, Jintong really feels that it is more appropriate for him to call it nonsense.

It is estimated that Lao Xipinghou wanted to let his sister-in-law surpass him, so he gave him such a name. As a result, how beautiful the dream is, how perfect the reality is.

Hu Chao lived up to his father's expectations, except for the war, which was far inferior to Lao Xipinghou, and the rest of the aspects were really outstanding.

The Great Yi Dynasty attaches great importance to imperial power and military power, and it is not allowed to be crowned king unless it is Li. The marquis, the marquis of three grades or more hereditary three generations, each generation drops two levels, of course, there are also individual.

For example, Jin Yu, the old Jingbei Hou family has five father and son, four sacrificed their lives for the country, Jin Yu's father and second brother, in the final analysis, were still killed by the Holy Lord. It is estimated that the Holy Lord himself is very guilty, so he added extra grace and let Jin Yu continue to be the Marquis of Jingbei.

Although Jin Yu attacked the title, he did not have the military power at all, and he did not have any real power in his hands. But he has Jintong, a sister who holds the script and has the halo of the heroine, and the gold mountains and silver seas left by the old Jingbei Marquis, a rich and noble idler for a lifetime, and he is very relaxed.

Hu Chao's status is worse than that of Jinyu, and now he is just a third-grade Xiping Hou, but he is not as good as the crippled Jian'an Hou Zheng Qishuo at the same level. The family has a good brother, the Holy Lord loves the house and Wu, and let Zheng Qishuo be in charge of the salt business, and the silver comes in like a sea every year.

And Hu Chao, except for the daily gold, there is nothing.

Hu Chao is not like his father, who uses his brain to fight, he is rampage in the court, and when his temper rises, he doesn't even give the face of the Holy Lord.

Hu Chao is the child born to the step-room of the old Xiping Hou, his mother is scheming, and successfully let the old Xiping Hou pass Hu Chao's two brothers-in-law and give the Xiping Hou to Hu Chao. Fortunately, Hu Chao's mind is inherited from his mother's side, and he is sleek and scheming!

Hu Chao's father left him a bunch of wives and concubines, plus brothers and sisters, and the family was deceitful and approached the harem of the Holy Lord.

Now that the Xiping Hou Mansion is leaking on all sides, a bunch of holes need silver to make up for it, and in desperation, I moved the idea of sharing a piece of the pie with Jintong.

Hu Chao sent 20 spies to Niutouzhuang to steal the secret recipe for winemaking, and the whole army was wiped out.

Hu Chao is not greedy, and he makes wine according to the method provided by Jing Yong in his Zhuangzi, although the taste is not as good as Xiangruilou, but it is much more mellow than other wines.

Jintong is taking the high-end route, Hu Chao secretly observed in Xiangrui Building, although the turnover is indeed amazing, but the wine is limited supply, and it does not exceed 10,000 bottles of wine a month, so Hu Chao plans to take the popular route.

Shangjing is prosperous, and the country is safe and secure. Although there was a great war in southern Xinjiang, the Marquis of Pingning had won many battles in recent times, and the war did not have much impact on Shangjing. Hu Chao calculated that the brewing industry of the Dayi Dynasty is not monopolized by any family giant, and it has a lot to offer.

Hu Chao plans to base himself in Shangjing, and then slowly expand to rich areas, and roughly calculated, there will be at least tens of millions of taels of silver in profits a year. King Qing secretly promised to help him provide him with no less than 500,000 stone of grain a year for winemaking.

The Great Yi Dynasty has always been very strict in controlling grain and minerals, and the Marquis of Xiping is now in decline, and he does not dare to buy grain as blatantly as Jintong. Hu Chao was worried about the lack of food, and he would definitely not be able to make enough wine to occupy the market, so King Qing solved the problem, how could he not be ecstatic?

Therefore, on the Thousand Autumn Festival of the Holy Lord, he naturally vigorously cooperated with King Qing. Anyway, the end result was that the Holy Lord had the most satisfying birthday in his life. The monarch and the ministers are happy, everything is perfect!
