So in the end, it was agreed that the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau would pay rent to the Jiangxi Political Secretary with one-third of the treasure money, one-third of the copper money, and one-third of the grain stamps.

At the same time, it was agreed that all the food stamps that had not been spent within a year would be repurchased by the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau with half of the copper coins and half of the treasure money......

Zhu Zhen is really insightful, who said that the negotiations in this era are very simple and the terms are very crude?

That's not the case at all, okay? The people of the Ming Dynasty were more serious, and when they negotiated contracts with later generations, they picked out the words one by one, and there was no difference.

This brought back some bad memories of his past life, and it felt very bad.

So after helping the two sides settle this dispute, they hurriedly ran to Jingdezhen with the inspection team...... Only Zeng Tai and Gu Yuanchen were left to continue to pull as much as they wanted in Nanchang City.

~~

Jingdezhen and Nanchang are connected by waterway, and from the Ganjiang River to Poyang, you can enter the Changjiang River. Then go more than 100 miles along the Changjiang River to Jingdezhen.

Avoiding the annoying negotiations in Nanchang City, under the vigorous praise of Shen Rong and others, the sixth child quickly regained his good mood and talked and laughed with them.

The next day, Zhu Zhen was on the stern tower, and Shen Rong and others set up a dragon gate formation, boasting about his heroic deeds of commanding Ruoding and capturing the bandit leader in the naval battle of Bird and Flower Island. I saw white smoke rising in the distance, covering the sky.

He couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Is it on fire?" ”

"It's not Your Highness, it's Jingdezhen who has arrived." Sun Jia, the prefect of Raozhou, who served as a guide, hurriedly explained:

"Because there are hundreds of kilns in Jingdezhen, the kilns are burned day and night, so it has created this kind of strange scene of 'white smoke covering the sky during the day, and red flames burning the sky at night'."

"Does the EPA care?" The sixth man muttered, only to realize that there is no environmental protection bureau yet. silently took out his big mask......

Think about it, take it off again, or is the image important......

~~

During the Song Dynasty, China's porcelain industry reached its peak, and kilns spread all over the country.

But after the Jin Yuan, into the present dynasty, except for the Zhejiang Longquan kiln is still based on celadon, other kilns are mostly depressed due to stagnation of skills, or disappear due to war and military disasters, only Jingdezhen is 'the world's kilns gathered', suppressing the shortcomings of people, promoting their own strengths, and becoming the firing center of the country.

As a result, Jingdezhen has become a ceramic metropolis known as the "Five Miscellaneous Places" and the "Wharf of the Twelve Provinces". When Zhu Zhen arrived, he saw that the wharf was like a forest and the boats were weaving. It looks more prosperous than the provincial city of Nanchang.

At this time, martial law has been imposed on the wharf, and it is still the welcome scene of the flags, gongs and drums, loess mats, and clean water sprinkled on the street.

Jingdezhen's Zhushan Imperial Kiln Factory supervised the eunuch Zhou Ji, Fuliang Zhixian Ji Ming, and the porcelain industry guild will be the first trip to the front of a number of leading figures, who have been waiting for a long time.

"Welcome to His Highness!"

After everyone saluted, Zhu Zhen smiled and ordered them to get up and said: "Everyone, please get up, don't be nervous, this king has just admired the name of Jingdezhen for a long time, and he came here to visit." ”

"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome." Everyone in Jingdezhen hurriedly smiled and said, "Please give more instructions to Your Highness." ”

"Hey, I'm a layman, but I don't dare to command blindly." Zhu Zhen smiled and waved his hand.

As he spoke, he pointed to the clusters of white smoke rising from the town and asked, "Are those the kilns where porcelain is burned?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness." The first trip to the front of the meeting hurriedly explained: "In the early years, here are scattered in the countryside of small kiln workshops, with the vigorous development of Jingdezhen porcelain industry, now the kilns are concentrated in the city, now there are 30 official kilns in the town, 512 private kilns. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but say proudly: "It's definitely the best in the country." ”

"Tsk, that's amazing." His Royal Highness the King of Chu exclaimed, became more and more interested, and declined the arrangement of Fuliang Zhixian to ask him to rest first, and went directly to the town to visit.

The eunuch, the magistrate and the head of the meeting hurriedly summed up, and the magistrate of Fuliang respectfully asked: "Your Highness, the Royal Imperial Kiln Factory is in Zhushan, and the road is a little farther. Why don't you visit Cheng Hui's first Jingzhai porcelain store today? ”

"This king said that I am here to visit, not to check, so the guest is as he pleases, and you just look at the arrangement." Zhu Zhen smiled indifferently.

"Alright, Your Highness, please." The three of them hurriedly bowed down and asked His Highness to get into the car.

~~

His Royal Highness the King of Chu's guard of honor crossed the streets and the market. The town's potters, men, women, and children, all ran to the street to see the excitement.

Although Jingdezhen's porcelain is popular all over the country, and the princes and nobles are using it, there are really no nobles who have come here. After all, everyone is interested in fine porcelain, not this kind of production environment that is full of smoke and dust, white and dirty.

Zhu Zhen is an outlier, he asked people to raise the car curtain, and looked at the street with great interest, those porcelain shops, porcelain villages, porcelain numbers, and shop doors, all kinds of porcelain. It's like walking through a street of porcelain in later generations......

It's a completely different experience from anywhere else, and it's a different world.

When the vast majority of the world was still in the agricultural civilization, it had quietly entered the commercial civilization.

He said to Shen Rong and the others who were following his car: "This place is quite similar to Suzhou." ”

"That's what Your Highness said." Shen Rong nodded and said: "Suzhou relies on the silk weaving industry, and Jingdezhen relies on the porcelain industry. ”

After a pause, he said in a low voice: "These two places, Your Highness should be firmly in your hands. ”

"Is the king's hand stretched too long?" Zhu Zhen said with a smile.

"No, only His Highness can protect them and lead them to continue to grow and develop." Shen Rong said sincerely.

"Hehehe," Zhu Zhen couldn't help but chuckle: "You old Shen, you are more and more at sycophancy." ”

"Your Highness, this is not a sycophant, but the sincere words of Wei Chen." Shen Rong said with a righteous face: "There are few such handicraft centers in the country, and it is not easy to form, but it is easy to destroy." ”

After a pause, he lowered his voice and said: "It's like Suzhou, if it weren't for His Royal Highness's efforts to turn the tide last year, it might have been completely abolished......"

"Not really." Zhu Zhen shook his head.

"In any case, now in the Ming Dynasty, there are too few people who understand the science of goods and colonization, and there is no one like His Highness who is as godlike." Shen Rong hugged his fists and said, "It is my duty, Your Highness!" ”

"Haha, let's take a look first." At this time, the Cheng family's Jingzhai porcelain arrived. When the team stopped, Zhu Zhen stopped talking.

I jumped out of the car and looked up, only to see that this porcelain store was a three-story pavilion.

Because of the visit of His Royal Highness, the porcelain shop men cleaned the exterior of the pavilion two days in advance. Therefore, there is no gray feeling around it, carved beams and paintings, bright colors, and it looks very magnificent.

In the spacious hall, there is a pair of couplets hanging on the left and right, and the book reads:

'Fighting sand into a vessel, the quality is better than gold; Fan soil is porcelain, and the painting is the same as the color lacquer. ’

The horizontal batch is the plaque of 'Jingzhai porcelain line', which is both appropriate and heroic.

"Good pomp and circumstance, no wonder you are the leader." Zhu Zhen smiled approvingly at Cheng Qian, who was waiting on the side.

"Your Highness has praised it falsely, a small business, not enough to worry about." Cheng Qian couldn't help but smile to himself, and respectfully invited His Highness to come in to visit.

"Let's go, go in and have a look." Zhu Zhen said happily.
