When I returned to the Temple of the Four Seas, I saw a stack of newspapers on the desk, and I remembered when I had just taken the throne.

At that time, there was no large-scale implementation of paper, and so many bamboo slips were sent to me every day according to the standards of Yingzheng, and I basically couldn't even go out of the palace door in the first few days, and I was even dreaming about reading and reporting when I slept.

Later, he gradually reported the performance below the county guard level to Li Si and Feng Quji, which was slightly better. Unexpectedly, a deepening hidden danger was buried.

I couldn't help it, I still had to deal with it, so I picked up the top one and started to read it.

'Alas, how can this emperor be more tiring than a part-time job......

The next morning, Wei Feng stood up.

"Lieutenant Colonel ordered Wei Feng to play Your Majesty: The first batch of porcelain has been fired, please take a look at Your Majesty."

"Oh?" I'm interested, and it's worth a lot more than wine: "It's been almost a year, right?" It's finally fired, so take a look. ”

Wei Feng didn't move, Qi Wan walked out, and after a while, several forbidden soldiers walked in carrying a box.

Before I got up, Wei Feng opened the box, and there was a layer of straw on it.

Lifting the straw, the first layer is a few small pieces, mainly tea cups, wine cups, wine jugs, spoons, chopsticks pillows, etc.

I picked up a teacup and sparkled in the sunlight coming in from the door, the lower half was dark blue glaze, the upper half was orange glaze, evenly distributed with a circle of simple line patterns.

"Yes, yes, that's a little interesting." I complimented. Although it is not as diverse as the patterns fired in later generations, it is already quite exquisite, gorgeous and colorful in the hand, and the texture and appearance of the glaze are better than the lacquer.

The next layer is porcelain plates and bowls, from large to small, from shallow to dark.

When the last layer was lifted, a porcelain vase about one inch high and about one-third in diameter appeared in front of me. The vase has a smooth glaze, pale blue throughout, and no patterns are drawn, but even then it looks exquisite.

Wei Feng bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, it is too difficult to fire such a large porcelain bottle, and this is the only one that has been fired." Others have tried to draw patterns, but after leaving the kiln, the patterns are either disordered or directly broken. The craftsmen on Peng Ze's side tried many times, but only this one had no pattern. ”

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter, it's good to be able to reach such a level, very good! Who is Peng Ze in charge of porcelain firing? ”

"Your Majesty, it's He Qi, the official to whom Chu Liu, the stone chamber ordered."

I looked at the porcelain vase carefully, and said, "He Qi, that's good." …… The official to whom the Stone Chamber Order belongs? ”

I raised my head and looked at Wei Feng: "Chu Liu and you are both Bai Chong's subordinates, why did I go to Chu Liu to do your business?" Since you arrived at Chuliu, how could you present the porcelain? ”

Wei Feng didn t expect me to be entangled in this matter, and for a while I didn't know what I meant, Chu Liu was still looking for iron ore in other counties, and he glanced at Bai Chong with a weak heart.

Seeing this, Bai Chong hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, in terms of the use of utensils, these porcelains are all utensils for daily use, and they belong to the lieutenant colonel's order; However, the firing of porcelain involves digging up the mountain, and it is a stone chamber order, so the firing of porcelain requires the cooperation of two people. Since His Majesty handed over this matter to Wei Feng to handle, the minister ordered Wei Feng to report ......"

Yan Yu stole a glance at me.

I nodded, and there was no problem with this reason: "The officials of the court, each performing his own duties. In the future, if there is a similar duty that is not done by himself, he will report to Yu Shi Cheng Li Xing to know. ”

In the future, it is inevitable to split the powers that do not belong to the prime minister, the imperial historian, and even the captain of the guard, so let's give them a wake-up call.

The two of them secretly glanced at each other, not knowing why I cared so much about this......

"This He Qizhen has the impression that he has supervised the Lishan Mausoleum, right?"

On the day I first encountered Gong Yin, the first official of Lishan Mausoleum reported to me should be this He Qi.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes."

"Very good, reward He 700 gold, promote it to Peng Ze official kiln order, open Peng Ze official kiln mansion, and be in charge of porcelain firing. Bai Chong, you go and do this. ”

At this moment, the ministers are still standing in place, and they dare not move around without my orders.

The mind is asking: 'What is porcelain?' Is it worth His Majesty to open a mansion directly for a small official? In other words, since His Majesty ascended the throne, how many new mansions have been opened, and they will be the mansions, the Jiangnan Supervision Envoy, and the Ancient Daoyan Mansion, and there is another Pengze Guanyao Mansion......

I turned to the first seat and waved my hand: "Let's go and see." ”

Everyone rushed up, looked at the porcelain in the box, and couldn't stop letting out a sound of admiration.

"This is porcelain? It looks like pottery! ”

"yes, it's just that there's an extra layer of smooth stuff on the outside than pottery, I don't know what it is."

"It's so comfortable to the touch, better than the little maid in my house...... No, Madame's hands are still slippery. ”

"Huh...... Lord Zhao, do you want to be shameless, you are still secretly touching the hand of the little maid, at such an old age, it is really disrespectful to the old! ”

Lord Lieutenant Zhao Lin's face turned red, and he secretly hated himself for leaking his mouth, and said stiffly: "Can an official be called stealing?" The old man came across it by accident! ”

"Shhh......h

This Zhao Lin is in his forties, has a gentle personality, and is a good man in the court. It's just that the wife in the family is quite unsatisfactory, and the key personality is simply more fierce than a tiger, so his only hobby is to sneak a touch of the handmaid's hand.

As for going further, he couldn't even think of it. Once, as soon as he touched the handmaiden's hand, he was bumped into by his wife, and chased him for half a street, making a lot of trouble. Yushi heard about this matter and wanted to impeach him at that time, but Yingzheng only said "The ability is acceptable, and it is harmless" and passed.

Since then, this incident has often been brought up and ridiculed for him as "being afraid of the inside"!

After a few jokes, everyone focused on the porcelain again, and watched it for a long time before reluctantly returning to their seats.

"What do you think of this porcelain?"

Everyone was full of praise, and some of them asked directly where they could buy it. The person next to him quietly kicked him: Didn't you hear the official kiln? Is it your turn to use?

I smiled slightly: "The official kiln is only for Xianyang Palace, envoys, and rewards." If you want to buy it, like a farm tool, go to the general's house, and I will order them to fire ordinary porcelain, which may be of slightly inferior quality, but the glaze on it cannot be faked. Moreover, the porcelain is a good and bad product, and some of the porcelain that will come out of the house is not necessarily better than the official kiln. ”

"Bai Chong, how much porcelain was fired in the first batch?"

"Back to Your Majesty, there is only one porcelain vase for daily use by fifty people."

"Okay, you give the porcelain to Qi Juan, I have already found a buyer, and the proceeds will be put into the treasury."
