#1280 bigger and stronger
Yuan Zhijing was obviously better at doing things than Zhang Rongsheng. He ignored Zhang Rongsheng's angry eyes.
Such a lord who has lost power wants to be a senior!
Yuan Zhijing followed Zhu Xu's carriage with an ignorant look.
As officials of the Zhengyuan Department, they are all indiscriminate and unrecognized by people from the "orthodox" background in the court and the opposition. Although there are more and more officials from the Zhengyuan Department, they are still discriminated against, excluded, and suppressed, and can become "official officials", such as magistrates, prefects, or those who have made their mark in the court.
Yuan Zhijing encountered this God-given opportunity, how could he not grasp it?
The three little guys were very happy to hear this, and Xiao Shuxian even poked her head out, looked at Yuan Zhijing and asked, "Is he very powerful?"
Yuan Zhijing was naturally more enthusiastic when facing the eldest princess' personal inquiry. He smiled and raised his hand and said, "Back to the princess, their family has unique secret techniques for burning porcelain for generations, which is second to none in Jingdezhen."
Xiao Shuxian was a little confused and said, "Which is the ranking of our entire Ming Dynasty?"
Yuan Zhijing looked arrogant and said, "The princess doesn't know that there are many places where I burn porcelain in the Ming Dynasty, but Jingdezhen accounts for more than 80%. Therefore, it is the best in Jingdezhen, and the best in the entire Ming Dynasty..."
Xiao Shuxian let out a 'wow' amazement, retracted her head, and muttered to her two younger brothers.
Zhu Xu opened the curtains, looked at Zhang Rongxiu, and said, "President Zhang, how did your General Chamber of Commerce arrange the porcelain industry?"
Zhang Rongxiu felt deeply that Zhu Xu was disliked by him, and seized the opportunity to express himself, saying, "Back to the emperor, there is a special position in the General Chamber of Commerce. I have ordered the people below to count the large and small official kilns of porcelain firing nationwide, and are ready to integrate them and form a unified chamber of commerce..."
Zhu Xu did not comment, and shook his head secretly at Zhang Rongxi's action. In front of Zhang Yun, he couldn't say too heavy words, so he nodded and said, "Hurry up."
Zhang Rongxiu seemed to think Zhu Xu was praising him and immediately said, "I obey the order."
It arrived soon, Yuan Zhijing walked in front and said, "Prince, there is the largest imperial utensil factory in front of him, and the porcelain burned inside is also the best. Most of the porcelain in the palace comes from here."
Zhu Xu had long studied porcelain. He listened to the 'hmm' and walked forward.
As soon as she left, Xiao Shuxian and Xiao Cixuan pulled Zhu Xu's trousers and raised their little face nervously.
Zhu Xu then remembered and said with a smile: "This is the best official kiln in the Ming Dynasty. Let's take a look first?"
The two little guys pouted, not interested in seeing, they wanted to go and burn.
Zhu Xu looked at Xiao Ciye again with a calm face and eager to try out. These three little guys are really a headache.
Zhang Yun saw it and said to Yuan Zhijing, "Mr. Yuan, can you ask someone to take the three Your Highnesses first?"
Yuan Zhijing naturally wanted to take it there in person, but he was even more reluctant to leave Zhu Xu, so he quickly responded: "Yes, I'll make arrangements."
The three little guys were very excited, and six eyes looked at Yuan Zhijing, shining.
Soon, the three little guys were taken away and shouted excitedly, trying to burn the ceramics they wanted.
Zhu Xu watched them leave and walked towards the kiln not far away. Before he got close, several people hurried out from it. An old man who seemed to be in his sixties knelt down with a thud and said, "I, Gou Qiyuan, come to see the emperor, long live the emperor!"
As he said that, he couldn't help crying.
Zhu Xu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered.
This imperial weapon factory is run by the official supervisor. In the past, the Sili Supervisor sent an internal supervisor to guard the situation. Most of the person in front of him was the imperial weapon factory supervisor.
Thinking that he was here for many years, the old man's face was covered with dust, Zhu Xu said, "Get up and talk."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The old eunuch slowly stood up and looked at Zhu Xu's face full of excitement.
He was here in the 20th year of Wanli, almost forty years! I thought I would never see the emperor in this life, but I didn't expect that the emperor would come to see him.
Zhu Xu had already made arrangements for the old eunuch in his heart, and smiled as usual, saying, "Take me to visit this kiln."
Zhou Huaiyi, the Ming sect in the factory, heard this and quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes, the emperor, please come with me."
Zhu Xu and Zhang Yun followed Zhou Huaiyi together and walked inside.
Zhou Huaiyi obviously had done his homework a long time ago. He knew what Zhu Xu was going to listen to. He said as he walked: "Your Majesty, the Chai Kiln is five zhang long and two zhang high, so many large objects can be burned here, but they cannot be burned anywhere else. The most important feature of Chai Kiln is the coloring. Currently, there are more than 20 colored porcelains that Chai Kiln can fire, each of which is a fine product and cannot be copied in other places..."
Zhou Huaiyi kept looking at Zhu Xu's face, and saw that he was interested, and introduced more and more in-depth, "The firewood is usually pine firewood. There are many kilns here, and the fire is very fast. There are special fire and cooling, which cannot be compared with other places..."
Zhu Xu looked at the rooms that were open or closed, as well as the remaining high temperatures, some unformed utensils and tools.
With a length of more than ten meters, even though he walked very slowly, Zhu Xu still quickly reached the head and left the kiln.
Zhu Xu only arranged to see this one today, stood outside, looked at the kiln, and said, "Do you keep the kiln making technology confidential or study it to go further?"
Zhou Huaiyi hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, these are all family skills and will never be passed down."
Zhu Xu shook his head secretly, this kind of thing is the easiest to be lost.
Zhu Xu turned to look at Yuan Zhijing and said, "The Jingdezhen government should establish a strict confidentiality system to ensure that these technologies are preserved and developed, rather than try-on or stolen by those who are interested. Although there is a special agency in the Zhengyuan area to study, you, Jingdezhen, cannot slacken. You should respond according to local conditions and work hard to develop, rather than just sitting in vain and eating your ancestors without considering your children and grandchildren, that is a prodigal son..."
Yuan Zhijing listened and said, "Don't worry, Master, Jingdezhen is already making arrangements. We are preparing to establish a folk porcelain association, which is specifically used to help each other, study porcelain control technology, and inform them to expand their popularity across the country, and strive to sell more porcelain, so that the kiln owners can become rich and depressed before washing..."
Zhu Xu glanced at Yuan Zhijing with a little surprise and said, "Are these solutions you thought of?"
Yuan Zhijing raised his hand and said, "Dissatisfied with the emperor, these are what the court newspapers saw. The court newspaper has a commercial page, and many issues are discussed in depth. For example, many industries in the Ming Dynasty are scattered and fragile, and cannot form advantages. It is recommended that we integrate, give full play to each other's advantages, and become bigger and stronger, especially in the field of maritime trade, and we have the lead and cannot fall behind. This is a great world. Whoever is slower will be destined to die..."
In most people's eyes, these words are alarmist and sneering. The Chaozhou newspapers have been promoting the "New World" over the years, and I don't know how many criticisms have attracted.
Zhu Xu glanced at Yuan Zhijing with approval, turned to Cao Huachun and said, "Is it written by Gu Yanwu?"
Cao Huachun said: "Gu Yanwu is the main writer of the Chaozhou Business Edition."
Zhu Xu smiled and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Let me give the cabinet a breath and let Gu Yanwu go to the State Administration of Taxation first, Ren Shaoqing."
Yuan Zhijing's eyes lit up, Shaoqing, Gu Yanwu, who has always been unknown since the fourth rank, has reached the sky in one step!
