Ming Zuo

Chapter 516 A New Chapter of Ceramics
Yuntai Mountain is located in the east of Zichuan County.

The scenery here is beautiful, the mountains are magnificent, and it is usually enjoyed by scholars.

Although there are few people, it is unavoidable to be desolate in winter.

But now it is very lively here.

On the north side of the mountain, a big stockade was erected at some point.On the way up the mountain, Xiangyong and Minfu occupied high points everywhere, looking down the mountain nervously.

When the early morning mist cleared, a group of people came to the foot of the mountain and quickly caused a commotion.

Immediately, a group of young and old rushed out of the stockade, lying cautiously on the hillside to look out.

"But... but the rebellion is calling?"

"Mr. Xiansong, it doesn't look like rebellion."

The top of the mountain was in a mess, and the people below were also looking around for a while. Two people walked out of the crowd and came up the mountain calmly.

Seeing that there were only two people going up the mountain, the people in the village couldn't help but relax a little.

"Don't stop them, let them come up."

After a while, the two walked into the village.

Although there are many swords and arrows around, he is happy and fearless.

The slightly older one searched the crowd, and suddenly said with a smile: "Brother Bi, don't you know me?"

The man let out an "ah" and his expression brightened.

"But... but Brother Xu in person?"

The man laughed heartily.

"I haven't seen you for many years, brother Bi hasn't forgotten my old friend."

The man rushed out of the crowd, walked up to him, looked at it carefully, and was very excited.

"That year, I heard that Yanshen Town was breached by the white lotus demon, and the people in the town were killed. I was very sorry. I even sent people to investigate afterwards, but Yanshen Town was destroyed, and there was no news about Brother Xu. I thought... "

Seeing that they were acquaintances, everyone in the village became less nervous.

A respected old man spoke.

"Jiaxuan, this is..."

Without waiting for that "Brother Bi" to introduce, the visitor cupped his fists and saluted the old man.

Such a long title made everyone in the village stunned.

But as soon as he reported the house, he recognized quite a few people.

After all, Zichuan and Yanshen Town are next to each other, and Xu Yingyuan traveled all over the world back then, and had friends all over the world.

"Yeah, he's Xu Yingyuan from Yanshen Town."

That Mr. Wang is none other than Wang Mengzhen, the former supervisory censor of Zhejiang Province.

This person criticized the eunuch party during the Tianqi period, was framed, and sent to Yunnan.Chongzhen was pardoned after he ascended the throne, so he did not continue to be an official, but returned to his hometown in Zichuan.

Now he is the leader in this village.

"Mr. Xu has traveled all over the world, and everyone knows it. How can you explain it?"

Wang Mengzhen is old and slow to accept new things.But instinctively noticed that Xu Yingyuan's identity seemed to be very important.

Xu Yingyuan became serious.

Everyone was shocked.

Another old man jumped out and asked anxiously: "Is this a new imperial court system?"

This person is the former imperial servant Shaoqing An Shen, who is also the leading figure of the local gentry.

Xu Yingyuan confessed frankly.

Everyone in the village was dumbfounded, and found that the matter seemed not simple.

That "Brother Bi" spoke in panic.

"Brother Xu, you have...you have taken refuge in..."

He wanted to ask, did Xu Yingyuan take refuge in the Dongjiang rebels, otherwise, why didn't he take the imperial court seriously?

The person next to Xu Yingyuan replied.

"Whether it is the Dongjiang thief or not, they are all our enemies."

The anti-flag is clear and sharp.

Reminiscent of the heyday military power at the foot of the mountain, everyone in the village felt the murderous aura.

One person was not afraid, and asked aloud.

"You are here, do you want to force me to follow the thief?"

It was none other than Brother Bi's uncle, Bi Ziyin, the former magistrate of Wuqiao County.

Yes, he was the cousin of Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Household Affairs who witnessed the Wuqiao Mutiny in Dongjiang Town.

And that "Brother Bi" was Bi Changgeng, the son of Bi Zisu who committed suicide after being humiliated by the rebels when he was the governor of Liaodong.

Bi Ziyin's rudeness is actually justifiable.

News came from the capital that Bi Ziyan was dismissed from office by Chongzhen for protecting Zheng Youyuan, the magistrate of Qingpu County.

If the Bi family followed the thief, wouldn't it implicate Bi Ziyan who is still in the capital?
The rest of the people were trembling, fearing that the army at the bottom of the mountain would attack them in a fit of anger, and they would be buried in death by then.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yingyuan did not show any signs of anger.

"Hahaha, how to connect with the imperial court, you have your own rules, so you don't have to worry about your seniors running around."

The core of it is: what are you guys, it is your turn to discuss such a big event?

Those who didn't understand were all relieved.

He understood, he was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Xu Yingyuan's words were not pleasant, but they were true.At the same time, they were picked out so that they would not have to worry about being punished by the court.

Bi Changgeng and Xu Yingyuan had an old relationship, and they were busy turning the atmosphere around.

"I don't know if Brother Xu is here, what advice do you have?"

Xu Yingyuan went straight to the point.

"I came here this time only for one thing."

He looked around at the most influential people in Zichuan, and said, "Zichuan has been a sacred place for ceramics since ancient times. This kind of industry is beneficial to the country and the people. I have sent me here to discuss matters."

Everyone in Zichuan understood.

What kind of rebels are here for the local ceramics industry.

The ceramic industry in Zichuan has a long history and has a history of thousands of years.

Although it is not as famous as Jingdezhen, its output has actually remained high.A considerable part of the porcelain in the overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty was produced in Zichuan.

Now that Zichuan is in our hands, it is logical to organize the ceramic industry.

Everyone in Zichuan misunderstood.

They thought Xu Yingyuan was here to rob.

"Porcelain making is the source of our Zichuan people's livelihood. If you want to snatch it, kill us all."

For a moment, all the people in the village were united in the same hatred, and there was a decision that they would rather die than die.

This scene made Xu Yingyuan and the person next to him full of black lines.

The man had to stand up.

"Everyone, my Wang Yuyin, from now on, I will respectfully serve as the magistrate of Zichuan County. I think you have misunderstood something, and we need to think about it in the long run."

Wang Yuyin is the second son of Wang Xiangjin, who was originally an official in Yunnan.Therefore, he was convicted and dismissed for strife in the officialdom, and he simply returned.

Knowing that the old father had become a traitor, Wang Yuyin had no choice but to join in.

All the homework is excellent, there is no reason not to use it.

It happened that Zichuan was received here, so he was sent over.

The first task is to cooperate with Xu Yingyuan to unify Zichuan's ceramic industry.
