After visiting the production process, Zhou Ji invited His Royal Highness to the main office to rest and taste tea, and watch the finished product.

Because it is a royal utensil, the people in the delegation are not qualified to see it. Under the arrangement of Zhou Ji's eunuchs, he went to the side hall to have tea.

Looking at the various and exquisite official kiln porcelains on the Bogu shelf, Zhu Zhen couldn't help but sigh secretly, if these things can be completely preserved for future generations, they will start from tens of millions.

In fact, it is already very valuable at the moment, Zhou Ji told Zhu Zhen, don't look at the mysterious blowing before Cheng yesterday, but the porcelain of the private kiln and the official kiln cannot be compared at all, and that shelf can't be exchanged for one here.

"Is that an exaggeration?" Zhu Zhen was a little surprised.

"The craft styles of his private kilns are all imitations of our official kilns, but at most they can only be regarded as Dongshi Xiaofeng." Zhou Ji covered his mouth and smiled:

"And here in our Imperial Kiln Factory, the standard is surprisingly high, once the kiln is fired, at most two or three pieces are left, and the rest are all broken. How could they do that? ”

"That's a waste, isn't it?" Zhu Zhen looked at the paper-thin yellow glazed bowl in his hand: "Isn't it just a bowl for eating?" Almost. ”

"Oh, my lord, this is a bowl that can only be used by the Kai family." Zhou Ji cried and laughed and said: "The royal things, can't one of them flow to the people, and the slaves and maids can't afford it." ”

"It's a bit too much, my old man knows about it, and he will definitely be mad." The sixth child didn't expect that a random piece of porcelain at home would be so valuable.

He played with the yellow glazed bowl, suddenly glanced at Zhou Ji, and asked faintly: "Are all the waste products you said really broken?" ”

"This ......" Zhou Ji sighed in his heart when he heard this, and subconsciously wanted to shake his head. But what happened yesterday before Cheng Cheng is still vivid. How did he know if His Highness had dug a pit again, waiting for him to jump in?

Luo Guan Center on the side said that there is no need to ask? He is already familiar with the operation of the sixth child.

This sixth child, since he was injured by a big dog at the Laba banquet in Jinshan Temple. If there is anything else, I never talk to anyone about it.

He is now the first to knock you into the abyss, and when you are at your most desperate, he will stretch out an olive branch and carry you up.

At this time, you can only use His Royal Highness's olive branch as a life-saving straw, and you will no longer have the courage to bargain. Only what he says is what.

Therefore, it is not easy for this person to learn well, and it is a matter of time to learn badly......

~~

Under the gaze of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who seemed to know everything, Eunuch Zhou was stunned for a long time and didn't speak, but his back was wet.

During this period, he had already made up the whole process of being interrogated by the King of Chu. and all sorts of tragic endings......

Unlike Cheng Qian, he is a servant of the royal family, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu can deal with himself as much as he wants, without worrying about the bad impact.

In the end, Zhou Ji's knees weakened, he fell to the ground, kowtowed vigorously and said:

"The slaves and maids don't dare to deceive His Highness, the cost of the imperial kiln factory is too great, and it is impossible to make ends meet just by relying on the little money given by the imperial court, so they will also intercept some waste products from time to time and let them sell them to maritime merchants before Cheng. However, the slave and maid repeatedly told them that all the waste products must be sold overseas, and not one piece should be left in the country, otherwise they will not be able to eat and walk around. ”

After a pause, he added: "Of course, there are also dots up and down, and the slaves' own pension money also comes from here." The slave and maid have said everything they should say, please dispose of it with Your Highness. ”

After speaking, Zhou Ji lay on the ground motionless, with a posture of letting him slaughter.

"Look, it's from the palace after all." Zhu Zhen smiled with satisfaction: "It's more sensible than local businessmen." ”

"Indeed." Luo Guanzhong said lightly: "It's all a butt of shit, and some people still think they smell fragrant." ”

"Mr. Luo is speaking more and more vulgarly now." Zhu Zhen said with a smile.

"Hehe, normal." Luo Guanzhong smiled, all without saying anything.

After laughing with Teacher Luo, Zhu Zhen turned his head to look at Zhou Ji and said lightly:

"This king is not the kind of person who can't rub sand in his eyes, he still understands the truth of relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to eat the water. Besides, the eunuchs in Jingdezhen are also a few fat shortages in the palace, Lao Wu and Lao Wang of our family, they are still waiting for your filial piety. If you don't want to make some extra money, it won't take two days to make people top. ”

"Oh, Your Highness is so right." Zhou Ji was moved to tears and said: "The slave maid is also involuntarily. ”

"Okay, say you're fat and panting." Zhu Zhen was about to kick and said: "You eunuchs, how can there be anyone who is not greedy for money?" Even if you don't have to deal with it, you will make money just as well. ”

"Yes, yes." Zhou Ji sneered: "But slaves and maids never greed a penny elsewhere, they all rely on selling scrap products to make money." ”

"It's pitiful, are you a piece of waste? One piece is not sold for ten taels? Zhu Zhen scolded with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Zhou Ji nodded hurriedly, and said in his heart that twenty taels was about the same.

"But don't think you're doing it seamlessly," Zhu Zhen changed the conversation again: "How many people handled the whole process?" Maybe one day the spoils will be unevenly divided, and someone will sell you. ”

"Yes, the slave is also worried." Zhou Ji sneered: "His Royal Highness asked a question just now, and I thought that someone had accused the slave maid." ”

"So, although this money is easy to make, it is also fatal." Zhu Zhen smiled: "You are also a rich and powerful person now, so let's make some money." ”

"Slave and maid, please advise Your Highness on the maze." Zhou Jike was not stupid at all, and he immediately heard what His Highness meant.

"You've heard of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, right?" Zhu Zhen asked.

"Of course I know, it's similar to our Imperial Kiln Factory." Zhou Ji nodded hurriedly and said, "We are making porcelain for the palace, and they are making clothes for the palace." ”

"Do you know how they make their money?" Zhu Zhen asked.

"I heard from the people of the inspection group yesterday," Zhou Ji continued to nod, "All silk sold overseas must be certified by them. ”

"Hmm." Zhu Zhen said: "Porcelain and silk have always been the two major export products. Therefore, the king intends to set up a similar porcelain certification body. to control the quality of porcelain for export and guide their production and sales. ”

"Uh-huh, that's a great thing." Zhou Ji hurriedly praised it.

"This future Daming porcelain...... The industry association must be professional and authoritative enough. Therefore, the Imperial Kiln Factory and the porcelain industry guild in Jingdezhen must join in. The king of Chu said again:

"Of course, we have to ensure the extensiveness of the representatives, and we have to attract some famous kilns such as Longquan kiln and Cizhou kiln to join. In the future, only qualified products certified by the General Chamber of Porcelain Industry can be exported. However, the Ming Dynasty is too big, and the kilns are far away, so it is impossible to completely unify the management, and it is still necessary to divide them into various branches.

"For example, here in Jingdezhen, it is the blue and white porcelain branch, and the certification standard, you can discuss it with Cheng Qian, and you will be certified. It is similar elsewhere, but the number of certifications per year is determined by the general association. ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, the slave maid will definitely give His Highness a good look at this stall in Jingdezhen!" Zhou Ji is very good. "Make sure that they all follow the horse head of His Highness."

"Good!" Zhu Zhen nodded approvingly, he finally didn't show his wrongdoing.
