After getting off the court, I went to the Ministry of Justice for a while, and then went home for lunch.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, officials are representatives of scholars. As a noble group, they certainly cannot be busy all day long. Except for special circumstances, normal officials only spend two to three hours in their positions to deal with things. Some people with few positions and special status can only be processed for one or two hours, and the rest of the time is rest.

Only those who work diligently to climb up will have enough time every day.

Li Fei was obviously not the kind of person who was diligent and wanted to climb up. After getting off the morning court for an hour and a half, he went there for more than half an hour in the afternoon, Li Fei left.

The Tang Dynasty was divided into four types of criminal cases, such as royal family cases, officials and gentry cases, ordinary people cases, and military cases. As one of the Ministry of Justice, Li Fei was mainly responsible for the review of major cases of ordinary people, such as home confiscation, beheading, exile, etc. If the suspects were found, he would hand them over to the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Justice for further verification.

The ancient criminal law was strict, and few ordinary people dared to commit major criminal cases. There were about 2,000 counties in the Tang Dynasty, and it was impossible for each county to have major criminal cases every day, so not many people were actually sent to the Ministry of Justice for Li Fei to review every day.

In fact, Li Fei finished the processing in less than an hour. The reason why he stayed for more than two hours was because he felt that it would be too ugly to see if he slipped too fast.

After leaving the Ministry of Justice, Li Fei planned to go to Zhaojiayao. The Zhao family father and son sent someone to report last night and had successfully fired the perfect blue and white porcelain.

"Mr. Duke!" Zeng Aniu drove a carriage and had already been waiting next to the Ministry of Justice.

"Go to Zhaojiayao." Li Fei said, climbing onto the carriage.

As Xiao Si who had been following Li Fei, when the County Duke Mansion was completed, Li Fei intended to let him be the butler of the County Duke Mansion, and to rush the car to accompany him to work, and leave it to other coachmen to do it.

However, Zeng Aniu insisted on following Li Fei and always obeying Li Fei's instructions instead of being a housekeeper in the mansion.

Just as Li Fei had always thought, Zeng Aniu was not as honest as he seemed on the surface. He was smart and knew that the reason why he was following Li Fei today was the one who was with Li Fei. He drove a carriage to court and came to the Ministry of Justice to deal with things. After a long time of contact every day, Li Fei's feelings for him will be deeper, and he will be more valued and trusted.

In Zhaojia Kiln, Li Fei was very happy holding a blue and white porcelain plate that had just been fired from the kiln.

"Not bad, the craftsmanship is perfect, it is a top porcelain, and it is also a blue and white porcelain that is not on the market. It will definitely be sold at a high price!" Li Fei praised.

"I have to thank the county lord for his advice. If it weren't for the county lord's advice, even if my Zhaojiayao was in one hundred or a thousand years, I would probably not be able to make porcelain like blue and white porcelain. I am the gods of the county lord!" Of course, Zhao Meng was complimenting and tried to hold Li Fei as much as possible. Of course, without Li Fei's advice, they would not be able to think of a craft like blue and white porcelain. After all, it was a skill that appeared in the Song Dynasty and matured in the Yuan Dynasty.

There is no doubt that if Zhaojiayao has made blue and white porcelain, its status in the porcelain industry will inevitably be higher. Every year's output and profit will also be improved by a leap. Li Fei holds 60% of the dividends of Zhaojiayao, and can also be divided into a lot every year.

"Put blue and white porcelain to the market as soon as possible. The quantity cannot be large and the price must not be low. It is only for sale as the highest-end porcelain!" Li Fei ordered.

The blue and white porcelain fired from Zhaojia Kiln is not the rough craftsmanship of the Song Dynasty, but has directly reached the maturity stage. It is dazzling and beautiful, and is fully qualified to be positioned as the highest-end product from the present world.

People have the kind of heart that hopes to be superior. The more rare it is, the higher the price, the more people yearn for it.

Chang'an City royal relatives and nobles gather together, and they pursue novel and rare things. Zhaojiayao has become famous in Chang'an City because of the matter of ceramic tiles, squatting and cement. If Zhaojiayao wants to launch blue and white porcelain, it will inevitably be noticed by the upper-level figures such as royal relatives and nobles, and it will not be difficult to launch them.

"Yes, County Duke!" Zhao Meng nodded and said yes. They had this plan as well.

Li Fei became a county magistrate at a young age and also held a fifth-rank official position. They rely on Li Fei to rely on Li Fei and are more confident in dealing with each other between royal relatives and nobles.

It was first popular among royal relatives and dignitaries, and then sold to ordinary merchants and allowed to take them all over the country.

"Uncle Cao, Xiao Zhong, how did the cement matter be handled?" Li Fei asked Cao Xiao Zhong and his son again about cement matters. Two days ago, he told them to sell the cement formula and make the last profit.

"Hehe, brother, do you know how much I sold the cement formula for you?" Cao Xiaozhong said, and proudly stretched out three fingers.

"Thirty thousand taels?" Li Fei guessed. The cement formula began to leak slowly from the Ministry of Works, and it could be sold for 20,000 taels in the end. Li Fei was already very satisfied.

However, beyond Li Fei's surprise, Cao Xiaozhong shook his head and smiled proudly: "I'm wrong, it's a total of 300,000 taels!"

Damn! So much sold!

Li Fei was shocked. They had been producing this cement for more than two months, but they still sold it at a high price of ten cents per pound. It was only 200,000 taels. In addition, the tiles, squatting and other profits were only 200,000 taels. Cao Xiaozhong sold the cement formula and sold it directly for 300,000 taels.

Li Fei felt it was like a dream, and no matter how he thought it was, he felt it was not very real.

After Cao Xiaozhong's account, Li Fei had to admire Cao Xiaozhong for his business. He usually doesn't look smart, but he is smarter than many people in making money.

In addition to having a large number of royal relatives and nobles, Chang'an City also has a large number of wealthy merchants from all over the country.

Cao Xiaozhong asked someone to release news in Chang'an City, attracting a large number of wealthy merchants. After attracting their appetite, he directly told the general cost of cement, and the wealthy merchants were in a panic.

Nearly ten times the profit! No matter how much the cement price drops in the future, it will inevitably have a huge profit.

There may be cement for sale in Chang'an City, and the price has also begun to slowly decline. However, the Tang Dynasty has thousands of miles of land, hundreds of states, and other prefectures and counties do not know about cement. After they buy cement formulas, they can sell it to various states through their own business chains. Although the price of 30,000 taels per company is very expensive, they can make it back within a few years.

Li Fei's face twitched, and he felt that he had cheated the rich merchants.

Although only ten of them have obtained cement formulas now, the Ministry of Works has slowly leaked out. He even felt that the Ministry of Works might soon announce the cement formulas directly to each state, allowing each state and county to participate in the production.

Because the effect of cement is too great, every prefecture and county needs to use cement to repair bridges, water conservancy, city walls, and even pave roads. The workshops affiliated by the Ministry of Works themselves cannot produce such a huge amount and transport them to the whole country. It is inevitable that the formula will be published in each prefecture and county for each prefecture and county to produce and use on-site.

But it's okay. Anyway, the money has already reached his hands and he has not forced those people to buy it. The actions of the Ministry of Works are not something he can control. In short, if those people really lose all their money in the future, they can't blame him.

According to the previous agreement, Li Fei gave 30,000 taels of it to Cao Xiaozhong, which was so excited that Cao Xiaozhong's eyes shone with golden light. Cao Chong also widened his eyes. Together with the money he had earned from selling ceramic tiles and squatting cement, Li Fei had already given them more than 50,000 taels of silver to their father and son.

It has only been with Li Fei for less than half a year, and the family business accumulated by the Cao family in the past century is no more than 50,000 taels.

On the Zhao family, the Zhao family and his son didn’t dare to ask for a penny. After all, the recipe was owned by Li Fei, and the recipe was sold by Cao Xiaozhong, and it had nothing to do with them.

I have to say that the Zhao family and son are very smart, not greedy, knowing that they can stop at the right time, what they can want and what they cannot want.
