[Qing] If you don't work hard, you will be forced to inherit the throne

Suo'etu sent people to cover the finished colored glaze with a cloth, and brought it in through an open carriage. When entering the palace, they had to go through examination and interrogation.

The steward of the official kiln who transported the colored glaze had a red smile on his face: "This is the colored glaze sent by Suo Xiang to carefully transport it to His Royal Highness."

The general of the imperial army just lifted a corner of the cloth, and was stunned by the huge glazed surface inside. Its color is transparent and clear, like the cleanest stream in the world, illuminating the wooden boards for transporting the glazed.

The huge colored glaze is actually bigger than the top of a round table!The transport carriage couldn't fit it, so it was still placed diagonally.In addition, there are other colored glaze "layouts" that are smaller than this colored glaze, and there are five pieces in total!

The structure of the carriage was clean, and it was open to see the mystery at a glance. After inspection, it was found that there was no problem and it was put into the palace. Suo'etu was in charge of contacting the steward, and finally sent the colored glaze to Yuqing Palace.

The imperial guards whispered: "The glaze used by His Royal Highness is unheard of, and the emperor has never used such a large glaze."

"A small piece of precious colored glaze can be sold for hundreds or thousands of taels of silver, not to mention the large glazed noodles that are bigger than the round table? That requires a lot of craftsmanship, which is unheard of and unseen. The official glazed kiln can make such a large one." Liuli here? Don’t spend a lot of money asking those foreign merchants to buy it?”

"The official glazed kiln was originally entrusted by the emperor to His Highness the Crown Prince to play with," the Baqi disciples knew about this very well. As for the rumors in the palace that His Highness the Crown Prince was diligent and thrifty, everyone just listened casually and didn't take it seriously. How frugal is it to buy such a big colored glaze?

"I also think that the colored glaze official kiln can't be made. Don't really be Suoxiang's own opinion. I bought the big colored glaze to make His Highness happy. I'd better report it to the emperor first."

On Yinreng's side, he didn't expect that the third grandpa was more capable than he imagined, and he actually tested the formula!

[This shows that although Suo'etu doesn't know how to manage accounts, he still has some ability to manage craftsmen. ] Xiaomei objectively analyzed Suo'etu's mistakes for Yinreng, and gave him a comprehensive evaluation.

[Correlation map: r]

Yinfeng asked curiously: The third grandfather is r, what about Khan Ama?

[Do you still need to ask?The child's father is a great SSR! 】

[But the kid still can't give up, save him more, after all, he is your grandfather. R Sometimes if you work hard, you can still have a chance to upgrade! ] Suo'etu looked like a good helper for "main task: not to be the emperor". He didn't even learn corruption by himself!

On the other side, news of Suo'etu's transport of large colored glaze into Yuqing Palace soon reached Kangxi's ears, and the emperor asked in surprise, "Glass noodles that are bigger than a round table?"

Gao Shiqi, a close minister of the emperor, and Du Lide, a scholar of the cabinet, all accompanied him here. Gao Shiqi said: "As far as I know, even the hometown of the missionaries from the West has not been able to make colored glaze bigger than a bronze mirror for the time being. .”

Du Lide also said: "From ancient times to the present, it has not been heard of any dynasty or generation that can make large glazed noodles."

Kangxi guessed: "Could it be that he bought it at a high price from Fanwai? This Suo'etu, the prince is diligent and thrifty, but he actually thinks of extravagance and waste to please the prince. I don't know why he is so relieved."

The emperor can say this, but the courtiers around the emperor dare not say it. Fortunately, the eunuch Yu Zhu who is next to the crown prince came to inform that His Highness the crown prince would like to invite the emperor to move to Yuqing Palace.

Kangxi understood, and said to the two of them: "It must be for the glazed noodles, you follow me to have a look."

Du Lide is Kangxi's crown prince and Taifu. He used to be a scholar of the Baohe Palace. After Wu Sangui's rebellion, he helped the emperor handle the internal affairs of the military aircraft. He was favored by the emperor for two consecutive generations. , Ministry of Households, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, all of which have been transferred over and over in the six departments.

From being a Jinshi at the end of the Ming Dynasty to being a cabinet scholar now, Du Lide has experienced three dynasties, and his official career has ups and downs. What hasn't he seen?The old man is more than 60 years old, and he came to Kangxi this time to pray for rest, claiming that it is time to take care of himself, and it is time to go home and take care of his grandchildren.

Today Du Lide said that he had never seen colored glaze as big as a round table, Kangxi thought about it, and called Du Lide and Gao Shiqi.

When they arrived at Yuqing Palace, as soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard the little prince say in a crisp voice: "Put a stone on it to see how much pressure it can withstand?"

Kangxi's heart skipped a beat. When the eunuchs brought various sizes under Yinreng's command, Yinreng asked the eunuch to weigh the stones and pile them up on the colored glaze bit by bit. The colored glaze as big as a round table is It is square, with supports placed on all four sides. As the weight of the stones is superimposed, the glass has broken marks that cannot bear the weight.

Dolittle was stunned.

Just... Broken like this?

Kangxi hurriedly shouted to stop, and led the people forward, only to see that there were still four pieces of colored glaze piled up on the carriage, and things worth thousands of gold were just thrown aside as garbage, what a waste of heaven and earth!

The other four pieces of colored glaze were also much larger than what people usually see, and Kangxi immediately felt pain in his flesh.

"Baocheng, what are you doing, is it possible that you plan to smash the other four pieces too?"

Yinfeng did have this plan, and he said happily: "Ama Khan, the Liuli official kiln has developed a method to produce large quantities of colored glaze. In the future, we can save more and make more colored glaze. Here..." To Khan Ma earns her own money.

Just as he was about to say this, when he saw that Kangxi had brought two court officials, one of them was the familiar Gao Shiqi, and the official robe worn by a bearded grandfather was the same as that of the third grandfather. You know, that is an official robe that only a cabinet bachelor can wear.

So Yinfeng changed his tone: "Benefit to the officials and common people of the Qing Dynasty!"

"Is this made by Liuli official kiln?!" Kangxi said in surprise, "Since it was made, why did you break it?"

"I want to try to see how heavy they are and how durable they are, so that I can improve them and give Khan Ama a surprise in the New Year." Yinfeng said with a smile: "But Rong Ruo said that someone has brought this matter ahead of time." Tell Khan Ama! Then it is better to show Khan Ama earlier, so that more production can be put into the glazed official kiln as soon as possible."

The Kuyin of the Guangchu Division can't just allocate funds to him. There is no financial support for the Liuli Guan Kiln. The amount of materials consumed is actually decreasing. If you want to invest more production, you don't need Kangxi's approval for the Liuli Guan Kiln. Only by appropriating funds can the big glass be popularized in large quantities.

The transparency of this batch of colored glaze produced by the official glazed kiln has reached what Yinfeng needs, but it is smoothed bit by bit by craftsmen, so it cannot achieve the perfect flatness and smoothness of flat glass. There are traces of high and low in small places, so that the force is uneven, and it is easier to be broken and broken by unbalanced pressure.

Even so, the appearance of Damianer Liuli is still something that surprises people's eyes, and the formula that Yinreng put into Liuli official kiln allows the craftsmen to produce the past ten in a day with the minimum possibility of making mistakes. The amount that a genius can create, consumes almost seven times less materials than before!

What the little prince said was not clear enough, but Suo'etu had prepared all the things needed by the face saint, and the papers for telling the status quo and appealing for funding had also been written, but Suo'etu did not expect that the emperor would actually send Dolittle and Gao Shiqi brought Yuqing Palace.

Kangxi didn't expect that he was just pampering his son once, but he really let the little guy make good grades.

"Don't break it, don't do anything, I'll see the situation of the glazed official kiln before I talk about it." Kangxi looked at the four intact large-faced colored glazes, but his flesh hurts, and he must not let such good colored glazes be ruined in vain.

Yinfeng withdrew his hand regretfully: "But there are still many such piles at the Liuli Guan Kiln, so you don't need to feel bad about them."

He winked at Suo'etu, the third grandpa told him all this.

Suo'etu smiled helplessly, and handed the booklet to Kangxi. If he hadn't seen the production speed of the large-faced colored glaze, he would cherish the four pieces of colored glaze as much as the emperor. Today he brought the four best pieces. Too many palace gates are not allowed to enter, and there is still 40 yuan in the glazed official kiln!

Yinfeng held his head high and held his chest high, waiting for Khan Ama's praise. It would be better to give him a little red flower as encouragement, so that he would have more motivation to study the manufacturing formula of the glazed mirror.

No one is blind, and it can be seen that the little prince's clever and cunning interaction with Suo'etu is still under Kangxi's nose, but the emperor turns a blind eye to it.

Seeing this, the two emperor's close ministers knew one thing: the day of Suo'etu's recovery is not far away.

Kangxi had read Suo'etu's memorial, and made a decision under Yinreng's expectation. He simply took his courtiers and went to Liuli Guanyao to check temporarily.

A total of forty large colored glazes were piled up as if they did not need money. According to the craftsmen, according to the new formula, as long as there are materials, it is not a problem to make hundreds of pieces a day.

Du Lide was secretly surprised, seeing Kangxi's brows stretched and his expression slightly happy, he knew that this time his plan to bid farewell to the old man to take care of his life had failed again.

An unexpected surprise fell on the emperor's head, but Kangxi felt as if he hadn't woken up from a dream. He asked Yinfeng, "Why did Baocheng think of researching and manufacturing colored glaze?"

Yinreng took Khan Ama's face into consideration, and was embarrassed to say that he was afraid that Khan Ama would not be able to support his younger brothers. After all, there were courtiers present!

So he made other excuses: "I'm interested in these things. I didn't study them for fun. I like the 'scientific principles'. Don't worry, I won't delay my studies because of this."

The little guy seriously expressed that his academic work has been praised by the princes and tutors: "If you don't believe me, you can take a test of the textbooks that I have learned so far. I have memorized them all in my mind!"

Kangxi made him laugh: "It seems that you still have a photographic memory?"

The little guy is eloquent, and he is very smart just by his witty answers. Does he look at Gao Shiqi and Dolittle with curious and naive eyes, especially Dolittle's fairy beard, waiting for the old man to look at him? He hid behind Kangxi again, and came to see him secretly not long after.

Dolittle didn't know why His Highness the Crown Prince was looking at him secretly, but when he saw the appearance of the young prince, he would think of his little grandson who was afraid of him and wanted to get close to him.

Seeing Dolittle stretch out his hand subconsciously to smooth his beard, Yinfeng stared straight at him.Dolittle's fairy-like appearance is more and more similar to a certain character in Yinreng's memory, even the gesture of stroking his beard is so charming.

Kangxi had known for a long time that the prince had good academic performance, and he also knew that he loved learning and was full of curiosity about everything.

"I won't test you now. Baocheng is smart and sensible, and knows how to share my worries. This time, I have made such a huge contribution in the official glazed kiln. I will reward you well. What reward do you want?"

How long has the prince been to the Liuli official kiln?I still go every five days, and I want to know that the driving force behind this incident is Suo'etu!

Kangxi glanced coldly at Suo'etu, who was trying his best to get back to his post, and felt that he was too impatient. Seeing how obedient Nalan Mingzhu was, he knocked him down with a stick and made no sound.

Yinreng looked at Kangxi, then at the other courtiers, in a dilemma.

Seeing his hesitation, Kangxi laughed and said, "Baocheng can't think of any rewards? I keep my promises. You have made such great contributions. I can give you whatever I want."

Kangxi still chose to treat Suo'etu who played a key role in this matter coldly, and did not give him a promotion, but gave Yinrong a choice. If you say good things, can Khan Ama support his own people?

Yinfeng sighed, Khan Ama really made him embarrassed.

"Khan Ama, my son doesn't have to worry about food, and he doesn't like expensive treasures, so you don't need to spend money."

If he empties Khan Ama's purse, poor Khan Ama himself will starve.

"Then what reward does Baocheng want? No things, no people, no promises, that's fine."

Kangxi was hinting at Yinreng, and wanted to see how much Suo'etu had gotten close to the prince these days, and see if Yinreng had begun to pay attention to this right-hand man?

Guessing the emperor's intentions, Suo'etu sweated nervously on his forehead, and he stared anxiously at Yinfeng, who happened to meet Yinfeng's embarrassed eyes.

Suo'etu shook his head, staring at Kangxi's cold eyes, his scalp numb.

The emperor is very protective of the prince, and he can't tolerate other people being close to the prince to influence him. If the prince says that he hopes the emperor will restore him to his post, what awaits him will not be a promotion, but the emperor's ruthlessness Repression and neglect.

Yinfeng said: "After I went to the Liuli official kiln, I was dizzy by the account books and personnel affairs over there. Only after seeing how troublesome the management is, I know how much knowledge I want to learn and practice. Many, if it weren't for Suoxiang, the minister might not even be able to manage the Liuli official kiln."

It's fine for Han Ama to hire child labor, and if he is not allowed to take him as an intern, the third grandpa himself is confused and messed up the mess, so Yinfeng doesn't count on him.

"If you really want to reward my son, you might as well give me a master who can teach me how to manage the glazed official kiln!"

Kangxi smiled: "Do you want a master? The three court officials present can be your masters, and they all know how to manage. Why not choose among the three of them?"

Yinreng glanced at Suo'etu with apologetic eyes, and said embarrassedly: "I don't know what the adults know, but Khan Ama knows what they know. How can you let the minister choose?"

Hey, the third grandpa didn't manage the accounts properly, he made mistakes in several places!

Yinreng was reminded by the system that there was a problem with the account book of Liuli Guan Kiln, and he just wanted to save face for the third grandpa by not telling it!

What is there to say?

Learning is messy, learning is not perfect, and you don’t seek to understand it, probably you are talking about the third grandpa!He can even make mistakes in addition and subtraction, and he can lose zero when converting units.

Yinfeng shook his head like a grown-up: No, no, the third grandpa can't teach Gu and can't choose him.

"They are all very powerful. To guarantee success, it is better to choose the one you are kind to." Kangxi said with a smile: "I think they can all be your masters."

Yinfeng could only look at Gao Shiqi and Du Lide. At that moment, the dignified atmosphere oppressed everyone's hearts. The emperor frowned tightly. Seeing that the prince finally chose Du Lide, at that moment, Kangxi's brows relaxed, and Suo Ertu Instant relief.

Kangxi laughed heartily: "Baocheng has a good eye, and he chose my prince and Taifu!"

"The decree is to promote Du Lide to the title of 'Prince Taishi' to teach my prince."

"The decree is to order the Guangchu Department to allocate 10 taels of silver to the glazed official kiln to purchase materials and increase the production of glazed glaze."

Gao Shiqi, who was in charge of drafting the imperial decree, wrote it down carefully, and only waited to go back to the South Study Room to write it.

Dolittle stepped forward to worship him, accepting the holy will: "I thank the Lord for your grace!"

After the three courtiers retreated, Kangxi took Yinfeng's hand and asked as he walked, "How did Baocheng think of choosing Dolittle? You don't choose Suo'etu?"

Yinreng tilted his head to look at him, feeling that Khan Ama was not in a good mood, he giggled: "Because he is the real Taiyi!"

Kangxi: "..."

Taking advantage of the absence of other courtiers, Yinfeng stretched out his hand for Kangxi to hug, and when he took him over, he quietly told Kangxi: "Don't worry, Ama Khan, Liuli Guan Kiln will definitely not lose money, and the 10 taels is very expensive." You can earn it back soon, and you won’t be hungry.”

"Baocheng knows what you are worried about, and Erchen also knows that you are worried about supporting your family. Erchen will help you. When the younger brothers grow up, there will be many people to help you in the future!"

Kangxi's smiling expression gradually stiffened...

Yinreng knew why Khan Ama was so tired. If all the courtiers miscalculated the accounts like the third grandpa, then there were really few people who could help Khan Ama share the work.

Yinfeng sighed, and cautiously leaned into Kangxi's ear and said, "Hey, my son whispered to Khan Ama quietly, don't tell others, the third grandpa is not capable, he will hold Khan Ama back. But even so , Erchen will not dislike him, Erchen thinks it's better not to give up, the third grandpa can still save him."
