Molested Zulong at the beginning

Liu Ji smiled, and looked at Bai Su with big peach eyes: "What does that young master mean..."

Bai Su pondered for a moment and said: "I have some ideas, and I want to find some craftsmen with firing experience."

Liu Jida's peach blossom eyes suddenly lit up: "Could it be that the young master has a new invention?"

She was very flexible in her mind, as soon as she saw Bai Su's appearance, she immediately knew that Bai Su probably had something good.

Bai Su smiled and didn't explain too much.

This blue and white porcelain is a good thing. Although there are already porcelains in the Central Plains, there are only some primitive porcelains. Not only is the surface rough, but the quality is average, even the patterns and styles are extremely simple.

Not many people use it at all, and many princes and nobles still like to use bronze vessels. If you fiddle with this blue and white porcelain, it is tantamount to opening an inexhaustible door of Jinshan.

Although Liu Ji steals, rapes, plays tricks, eats too much and is lazy, is greedy for drinking and gambling, but he has one of his biggest advantages, that is, he is good at thinking about his mind.

She understands Bai Su's character, and knows that no matter how lazy she is, it's okay, but she can't be sloppy when doing business.

She quickly mobilized and directly ordered the craftsmen in the entire Ministry of Industry to gather in the workshop.

Although these people didn't know why, after seeing that the person who came was Bai Su, they didn't feel any resentment in their hearts, instead they were very excited.

After all, Bai Su was well-known throughout Xianyang, and it was never a loss to work with him. Many people were promoted to titles, rewarded with land, and appointed to official positions because of this.

Faced with such an opportunity to make meritorious service, naturally no one would despise it.

Bai Su just found a few experienced craftsmen, and sent the rest of them out.

He just wants to experiment with the firing of blue and white porcelain to see how the texture is, and he doesn't need so many people for the time being.

Bai Su instructed a few craftsmen, and after preparing all the procedures, he said in a deep voice, "Open the pool kiln!"

The craftsmen outside responded immediately, and the kiln was opened.

Liu Ji and the others outside could only hear some noises, other than that, there were no other loud voices at all.

After two hours.

Bai Su focused on the formed product in front of him, and began to use the blower to continuously blow air into it, so that the temperature of the flame continued to rise.

This is a crucial process. The glaze color on the surface of the porcelain will change with the temperature. To achieve this condition, the temperature of the flame needs to be kept at 280 degrees to [-] degrees. between.

Bai Su looked a little nervous, after all, this was the first time he baked it himself.

Soon, a red-hot teacup was ready, and it was pulled out with tongs, sprinkled with a bowl of water, and a white mist rose suddenly.

And the patterns on it are gradually appearing.

outside.

Liu Ji was not impatient at all, and still waited quietly, while some small officials at the side were a little impatient.

"This... Why hasn't there been any movement for a long time? Could it be that Master Bai has failed."

"Hush, don't talk nonsense, Mr. Bai is so good, how could he fail."

"How can it take such a long time to burn something?"

Everyone chattered for a while.

At this moment, the door of the room slowly opened.

Liu Jida's peach blossom eyes froze for a moment, then smiled and said: "It seems that you have succeeded."

Sure enough, the next moment!

In Bai Su's hand was holding a teacup that was as white as snow and as smooth as jade, on which was drawn a vivid picture of Lao Tzu riding a green ox out of customs with blue patterns.

Liu Ji looked at the exquisite blue and white porcelain, and said in amazement: "This...what is this, it is so exquisite, it is not like anything in the world!!!"

Chapter 160 Five Mother and Daughter Conversation

Many people present have many years of experience. Seeing the blue and white porcelain now, everyone in the yard froze.

Bai Su held the teacup in his hand, the sun was shining, the white jade was flawless, blue lines were painted on it, but the surface was extraordinarily smooth, there was no slightest feeling of unevenness.

It seems that this pattern was born on it, but how could such a perfect pattern be born in nature.

Just perfect like a work of art.

All these officials were dumbfounded when they saw it. This is simply a tool used by gods.

It's not that many of them have never seen porcelain, but they have never seen such exquisite porcelain.

At this time, many officials realized that Bai Su went in and worked for a long time, but when he came out, there was an extra piece of exquisite porcelain in his hand, could it be...

This porcelain was fired by Bai Su himself?

Liu Ji's big peach eyes stared obsessively at the exquisite blue and white porcelain, walked over quickly, and asked excitedly, "My lord, did you make this thing?"

When she asked this, the breathing around her suddenly became rapid.

After all, none of the people present were fools, and they could see that this blue and white porcelain was a priceless treasure. If Bai Su mastered the technique of firing this object, it would be like owning an inexhaustible golden mountain.

Facing the eyes of everyone, Bai Su didn't hide anything, and said with a smile: "Yes, I baked this thing. Don't think it's small, it takes a lot of effort to make it."

He said, playing with the porcelain in his hand.

silence.

The surroundings suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

These craftsmen looked at the blue and white porcelain one after another, wondering what kind of technology could make such exquisite porcelain.

In Liu Jida's peach blossom eyes, there was a touch of excitement, she only felt as if an electric current was rushing through her whole body, and her scalp felt numb for a while.

Although she had guessed something before, when Bai Su confessed, she was still shocked.

She stared straight at the small teacup, and finally understood why Bai Su was already worshiped by Daliang at such a young age, and why the First Emperor doted on Bai Su so much.

Having a courtier who is comparable to the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, who can earn countless money with a wave of his hand, is not enough for everyone to like, and he should be regarded as a treasure.

After a long time, he came back to his senses leisurely.

She blinked her big peach eyes: "So, the young master has mastered the technique of firing this porcelain?"

Bai Su rubbed his chin and said, "That's right, but the technology is still immature and the success rate is not very high. There is no way to achieve 100% success."

When Liu Ji heard this, his slender black eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

She smiled wryly and said: "My lord, I don't even know what to say about you, this thing is worth thousands of gold, it can be regarded as a family heirloom outside, if one of the thousand succeeds, it can make a lot of money every day. "

"This kind of baby, you still want to be 100% successful, look, is this speaking human words?"

Bai Su smiled, and immediately said: "You follow my instructions, build a few fire kilns in the workshop, expand the scale, I will use it in the future."

Liu Ji also gradually calmed down now, after all, since following Bai Su's side, she has seen all kinds of strange things every day, and she has long been familiar with them.

In her heart, Bai Su is like a semi-immortal existence, even if Bai Su told her that he could turn stones into gold, she would not have the slightest doubt.

Facing Bai Su's orders at this moment, she would naturally not hesitate at all if she had the opportunity to make a contribution.

"Okay, I will dispatch people to work for the young master."

Bai Su smiled slightly: "After the matter is over, of course your benefits will be indispensable."

Hearing what Bai Su said, Liu Ji nodded more actively. If Bai Su asked her to go over to warm the bed at night, then she probably wouldn't have the slightest hesitation, so she would go back and spread the white cloth on the bed.

After explaining for a while, Bai Su handed the tea cup in his hand to Liu Ji.

Liu Ji was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Bai Su in surprise: "Mr...Mr., is this for me?"

Bai Su smiled and said, "That's right, I'll give this to you."

"This...how is this so embarrassing."

Liu Ji said refusal words, but honestly wiped the marks on the teacup with his sleeves in his hands, with a pair of big peach eyes, looking at the delicate patterns on it with love.

Seeing her shameless appearance, Bai Su couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

He pondered for a moment, and said: "I will give you the things, but I will do what I have told you, and don't forget."

Liu Ji nodded seriously: "Young master, don't worry, I will definitely get things done."

After she finished speaking, she turned and looked at the small officials beside her: "Everyone, start expanding the workshop immediately, and strive to complete it in the shortest possible time without any mistakes."

"Yes……"

Everyone bowed their hands one after another.

They glanced enviously at the exquisite teacup in Liu Ji's hand, obviously they also wanted this treasure very much.

But I can only think about it in my heart. After all, such a precious thing, after it is finished, it must be presented to His Majesty first, so how can it be their turn.

Inside the Xianyang Palace.

Sister Zheng was sitting at her desk, looking at the memorials from various places.

After the decree was issued to cut off the trade with the Yuezhi Kingdom, the checkpoints in various places were strictly guarded, and the export of grain and livestock was strictly controlled.

Although there are still some merchants who choose to take risks and privately smuggle grain to Yuezhi Kingdom in order to earn huge profits, but after all, it is only some individual phenomena, and small batches of grain are not enough to change the overall situation.

After all, as a big country in the Western Regions, the Yuezhi Kingdom has a population of over one million. If they want to transport the rations of so many people, the scale of the food team will be unprecedented, and it is impossible to hide from the eyes of the government.

And those who smuggled privately, whoever was caught, ransacked their homes and exiled to the land of Baiyue to open up wasteland and farm fields, which effectively curbed the trend of private smuggling among the people.

Everything is being prepared in an orderly manner. According to reports from the spies, under the influence of the drought in Yueshi's country, the price of food has started to rise continuously, and the people have become more and more dissatisfied.

Some refugees have already started to clash with the government, forcing the government to quickly open warehouses to release food.

If this trend continues, within a few months, the Yuezhi Kingdom will explode.

Then it is time for the Central Plains to act.

At this time, a delicate figure walked in from outside the hall.

The footsteps sounded a little hurried, and it was obvious that the visitor was not in a calm mood!

The corner of Sister Zheng's mouth twitched slightly, and she said without raising her head: "Little Qi'er, why did you come to me all of a sudden?"

Hu Yan combed his hair in a bun, black and shiny, wearing a long lavender dress, the chest wrapped embroidered with bird and animal patterns was extremely exquisite, and his exposed neck looked slender and white.

She is at the age of a flower, and her appearance is even more exquisite. Hu Yan's appearance is enough to be called an all-powerful beauty. Compared with her sister Fu Su, she has a little more agility.

"My lord~" Hu Yan was full of grievances.

She threw herself directly into Sister Zheng's arms, like a young girl who hadn't grown up.

Sister Zheng was taken aback, and touched her head: "What happened, why did you look aggrieved?"

Hu Yan curled his lips: "My lord, that bastard Bai Su actually buys clothes for other women."

She was wandering around the city two days ago and saw a strange sock being sold in a fabric store, so she went over and asked how it was sold?

The shopkeeper replied that this item was made to order by Mrs. Bai of the Bai Mansion, and they would not sell it to her.

She thought it was a surprise prepared by Bai Su for herself, and waited in the bedroom for several days expectantly, but Bai Su didn't come at all, and when she went to the shop to ask again, she said that the things had already been sent to Bai Mansion .

Sister Zheng looked at Hu Tan with an aggrieved face, and wanted to comfort her, but the scene with Bai Su involuntarily appeared in her mind.

She bit her red lips lightly, and said immediately: "How can a romantic and talented person like Bai Su be restrained by a woman? You will inevitably be jealous when you are with him. If this is the case... then how about I exchange a marriage with you ?”

After all, she has already had an affair with Bai Su, if her daughter is dissatisfied and therefore gives up this marriage, it will kill two birds with one stone.

Hu Yan shook his head, pouted and said: "No, the emperor has already recognized him, and there is no room for others in his heart."

"yes……"

Zheng Jie's phoenix eyes were indiscernible, a flash of disappointment flashed, and she returned to normal immediately: "Then I will help you give him a good reprimand."

While the two were talking, the guard outside the door came in and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Bai entered the palace and said that he has something to meet with His Majesty."

Chapter 160 VI

Sister Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and after pondering for a moment, she said, "Let him in."

"Yes!"

The guard clasped his fists and retreated.

After a while, Bai Su walked in directly.

Through the bead curtain, he looked at the slender figure inside, and couldn't help bowing his hands: "I've seen Your Majesty."

"It's so late, what do you mean by entering the palace suddenly?"
