Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty Unexpected Results
The abbreviation of the parent site: "166 Novel" is homophonic with 166xs, which is easy to remember! The good novel of 166xs is highly recommended: I have to be amazed at the workmanship of this packaging. Obviously, the craftsmen have put their heart into this packaging. At least this small package can be worth several taels of silver, which is a bit suspicious of over-packaging. However, the glass that Wu Song finally made can't be made without making a huge profit and research and development expenses.
A transparent teapot and four transparent water cups look crystal clear and very beautiful.
Wu Song made a long list of people who had a good relationship with Dongping Mansion. Zhu Wu got on a carriage and brought dozens of exquisite tea sets to set off.
Wu Song rode on a horse and set off with a carriage. The one given by Zhu Wu and Wu Song would not repeat it. Wu Song's first thing was of course to visit the prince. Although the two sides were just cooperative relations, the prince took great care of Tongda Big Carriage Store after all, otherwise Tongda Big Carriage Store would not be so easy to gain a foothold in the capital.
The prince was not very surprised when he saw Wu Song and said, "When did General Wu arrive? Why didn't he say anything in advance?"
Wu Song said: "Your Highness is joking. I, Wu Song, are just a small chief minister. When will I become a general?"
The prince said: "The general's battle with Xixia in this battle has shocked the Western Regions and made great contributions. The emperor has decided to enthrone you as General Zhenxi."
The so-called general of Zhenxi is not a partial general. Of course, the emperor's personal title is more valuable, but after all, the general must have soldiers and money. If there is no soldiers or money, it is useless to call him a general.
Wu Song said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your trouble. This time I brought some local specialties from my hometown to show you."
The prince invited Wu Song into the guest room, while Luo Ping and Jiao Ting stood outside.
Wu Song opened the mahogany box, which contained a set of crystal clear teapots and tea cups.
Even the prince had seen anything rare, and had never seen it. He asked in surprise: "What is this? Is it porcelain?"
"This is called glazed glass, similar to porcelain, made of fired, crystal clear, and it is very good to make tea. Your Highness ordered people to take it down and clean it to try making tea." Wu Song said.
The palace maid took it to make tea in fear. Wu Song and the prince chatted without saying a word. The prince said: "Someone may be unfavorable to you. If you win a battle, the emperor cannot let down the hearts of the soldiers, but the envoys of Xixia spent a lot of money. Do you want me to find the masters of the Six Gates of the Ministry of Justice to be busy?"
Wu Song said: "Thank you, Your Highness for your concern, Wu Song will be careful. As for the help of the six doors, I won't need to do it."
Although the Minister of Justice is also a member of the prince, Wu Song believes that he has no friendship with Liusanmen. Wu Song has a wealthy and powerful force, and the intelligence system and special operations system are very developed. Besides, Wu Song, who is ruthless, has been scattered to eight streets.
While drinking tea, the prince asked: "This glass cup costs a lot: "The current market price is 668 taels per set, and the price given to dealers is 400 taels per set. No dealer is allowed to bargain. Each state capital will limit the sale and will not open the supply."
The prince said: "How can you give me the agency rights of your strange things to the two states?"
Wu Song said in surprise: "No problem, no problem. Please help your highness and prepare a small gift for the emperor, hoping to send it in."
The prince said, "Haha." The prince laughed happily.
Wu Song said: "I, a military general, won a battle, and was forced to give gifts to the emperor in order to save his life. Does Your Highness feel this is funny?"
The prince hurriedly said, "It's not funny, it's not funny. It's the duty of your subject to give gifts to the emperor, so I'll take you there. But you want to let me see what gift it is."
Wu Song said: "No problem." With a wave of his hand, someone asked someone to lift a shelf that was one person high from the carriage outside, covered with silk.
When I lifted it to the Prince's study room and opened it, I saw that the Prince and the Prince's two senior staff members were stunned. There was a crystal clear mirror in front of me, but the person who looked at it was too clear, a hundred times stronger than the bronze mirror, which made people notice it.
The prince touched his face and said, "This is me, it's really incredible, it's so clear."
Lord Su Yi also said: "Magic, magical, so magical."
The prince's privilege is still very great. Today's emperors are obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and are not as cautious as other dynasties. Wu Song followed the prince to bring gifts and came to the palace. There are many rules in the palace. Not to mention bodyguards, they can't even bring a short knife in.
The prince went into the study to meet the emperor. Wu Song was waiting outside and it took a long time to let Wu Song go in. This felt so uncomfortable. He had to wait to give gifts to others. The imperial guard next to him stared at Wu Song with a knife guard. After all, Wu Song was a general, and he was a very dangerous general. Wu Song secretly swears that this was the last time and he would never do it next time.
After waiting for more than an hour, the prince smiled and asked Wu Song to go in. After the ceremony, the emperor said, "Aiqing Wu, I heard that you have prepared a heavy gift for me."
Wu Song said: "I don't know if the emperor likes it."
As he said that, the emperor waved his hand and asked the eunuch to lift the mirror up. The moment he lifted the silk, the emperor was also shocked. He had never seen this mirror before.
"This thing should have existed in the sky, but somehow fell into the world." The emperor exclaimed and murmured in a low voice, "I would have been happy if I could give Shishi one."
Wu Song had a good hearing, but pretended not to hear it.
The emperor was immediately overjoyed and asked, "My dear, this mirror must have cost a lot of money."
Wu Song said: "Weichen started researching three years ago, dozens of people continued to experiment, and spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to develop it."
The emperor said: "Do you still have that? Can you give me another one?"
"This." Wu Song looked embarrassed.
The emperor said: "Don't worry about the money, I will allocate 20,000 taels of silver to you."
Wu Song said: "It's not a matter of money, it takes time. It's very slow to make such items at the beginning, especially if such a large mirror takes at least three months to make it successfully."
"Haha, okay, then I will wait for you for three months. You can prepare as soon as possible when you go back. I will allocate funds to you tomorrow." The emperor was overjoyed.
Wu Song and the prince left, and the emperor immediately ordered Eunuch Huang to issue an order, adding a title to Wu Song, General Jingdong, a fourth-rank general. He was on par with his father-in-law Cheng Wanli, and was rewarded with 20,000 taels of silver, 1,000 taels of gold, and silk and satin given by the emperor.
When the news reached Gao Qiu, Gao Qiu kicked the table over in anger. It was really outrageous. Gao Qiu had already thought about how to deal with Wu Song, but he had collected tens of thousands of taels of silver from the Xixia people and wanted to deal with Wu Song hard. Now it can't be done, so how do the Xixia people explain.
The people of Xixia are not fools either. That night, they sent someone to question Gao Qiu if there was any other way. Gao Qiu took out the silver notes he received and asked the people of Xixia to find another way. 166 Novel Reading Network
