Chapter 202 The Palace Supplier (Addition)

Towards the end of the afternoon.

Jiang Lun is still drinking, this is his second drink at noon today, it can be regarded as a transition.

First drink with Tang Yin, then with Lu Song.

Everyone in the palace knew that Jiang Lun was a good drinker. Jiang Lun went to the capital for three months before, and when he returned to Anlu, he started drinking every day, as if he wanted to make up for the wine he didn't drink before.

"...Old Lu, let me tell you about you, you are the future hope of our palace! Not only are you skilled, but you are definitely one of the best in the palace! Come, let me pour you wine."

After drinking the wine, Jiang Lun couldn't stop talking about it.

Jiang Lun is not the kind of person who likes to play tricks with alcohol, but he talks a lot when he is drunk, and he is a talkative type.

Lu Song was still drunk, and found that Jiang Lun was drinking more and more, so he hurriedly held down his glass: "Master, you are drunk, go back and rest earlier."

"I'm not drunk, am I the kind of person who goes to sleep when I'm drunk? I'm very energetic, even if you give me a cow now, I can kill it... Hey, where are you talking? "

Jiang Lun pondered for a while, and suddenly thought of something. The next words solved Lu Song's previous doubts.

"You don't know. After I arrived in the capital, none of the dignitaries in the capital knew that the concubine's pregnancy was a fake. That time I drank with some officials from the Ministry of Rites. I drank too much during the banquet and told the story. They laughed I, you guessed it, after a few days, it really confirmed what I said... how about Lao Lu, you can be the head of the palace?"

Lu Song felt a chill when he heard it.

You, Jiang Lun, don't know the seriousness. When you are drunk, you dare to tell the people in the Ministry of Rites that the pregnancy of the emperor and concubine is fake?What do you let the people in the Ministry of Rites think?
However, this is the reality. Doesn't it tell the people in the Ministry of Rites that the Xing Palace is secretly investigating the pregnancy of the imperial concubine?
Wouldn't the court suspect that this matter was actually exposed by the people of Xing Wang's mansion?

"Old Lu, you can't tell outsiders about this." Jiang Lun seemed to realize that he had leaked a terrible secret, and hurriedly reminded him.

Lu Song said: "How can I spread the word about what my aunt said? Besides... it's just gossip on the wine table, so it can't be done right."

Jiang Lun patted Lu Song on the shoulder, "I dare say that you are even more strategic than Tang Bohu. I tried to ask him today, and he said that he didn't guess it at all..."

Lu Song was taken aback.

Didn't Tang Yin tell Zhu Hao about this?

Then who did Zhu Hao listen to?
With Zhu Hao's age, can he tell whether the emperor concubine's pregnancy is true or false?

Then he laughed at himself, now he has a very strong relationship with Zhu Hao, and he is completely unguarded, so what's the point of thinking about this?
Didn't Zhu Hao admit to the matter of the palace's early warning before, in fact, Tang Yin's proposal to strengthen the security was also his idea?

"Old Lu, I will definitely tell my brother-in-law about this later."

Jiang Lun wanted to recommend Lu Song.

Lu Song hastily stopped him: "Young master, you are serious. At that time, you just made a random prediction, and you can't be sure. After all, your majesty has never heard of any concubine in the palace being pregnant. Moreover, such a result is the best for the palace. Of...don't worry about what's there or what's not."

Jiang Lun shook off Lu Song's hand, showing great loyalty: "The next time I see my brother-in-law, I will tell him..."

Just at this moment, a servant from outside came in: "My lords, the lord sent someone to inform the two of you to discuss matters."

Here, just as Jiang Lun said that he would recommend Lu Song in front of King Xing, King Xing heard about it, and Lu Song couldn't help but look at him. Isn't this too coincidental?

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Jiang Lun stood up tremblingly, unable to stand still, and sat back on the chair.

Lu Song hurriedly asked: "Young Master, can you still hold on?"

"It's all right...Old Lu, help me downstairs...Wait until you go out to blow some air, sober up, you're another good man!"

……

……

Lu Song was helpless.

In fact, he didn't drink much with Jiang Lun this time, but because Jiang Lun drank the first round with Tang Yin, the wine Mengzi, when he came to drink the second round, he was already drunk on the table.

But drunk people will never be willing to admit that they can't drink enough, the more drunk they are, the louder they blow, Lu Song can only support Jiang Lun and shake it three times, and swayed to the inner courtyard of the palace.

If it were someone else, Lu Song would not dare to support King Xing like this.

But Jiang Lun is King Xing's brother-in-law after all. Although he is adopted, he is the only one. Everyone knows what Jiang Lun is like, and no one asks Jiang Lun to behave like other officials in the palace...

Besides, this time, it was King Xing's impromptu hearing, and as long as he was not on duty, he didn't say that he was not allowed to drink.

Arriving at the door of Zhu Youzhao's study, Zhang Zuo and Tang Yin had already arrived one step ahead.

When Lu Song saw Tang Yin, he found that Tang Yin was much more normal, and he didn't look drunk at all. Lu Song couldn't help feeling suspicious. Jiang Lun said that the first round of wine was with Tang Yin, so he couldn't be lying to himself, right?

"Lu Dianzhan is here?"

Zhang Zuo greeted with a smile, "There is also my uncle... Your lord, do you think you can order something?"

Lu Song entered the study and found Zhu Youzhao standing by the window, holding a bamboo tube in his hand and looking around.

Tang Yin seemed to have known about this thing for a long time, so he didn't move forward. As for the others... only Zhang Zuo, who seemed to have seen it before, smiled and looked at Lu Song and Jiang Lun who entered the room one after another.

Zhu Youzhao said, "Zhang Fengzheng, tell me."

Seeing that Jiang Lun was drunk, Zhang Zuo couldn't help frowning slightly. He usually doesn't like drunks. Zhang Zuo belongs to the kind of gentlemen who love cleanliness. This is probably a common problem of old eunuchs, that is cleanliness.

"It's like this. The prince is going to let my uncle and Lu Dianzhan lead a team to the capital to deliver a tribute. It is the thing that the prince is holding. I heard it is called a telescope."

As Zhang Zuo said, he glanced at the corner of the house.

Lu Song followed his line of sight, only to find that there was a person standing in the corner, but because this person was small, when he came in, his attention was all on the people at the window, and he didn't notice the existence of that person.

Zhu Hao? !
Lu Song almost exclaimed.

Jiang Lun laughed and asked, "Brother-in-law, what is a telescope?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the smell of alcohol filled the room instantly. Zhu Youzhao frowned, put down the binoculars, turned to look at his brother-in-law, looked him up and down, and said in a reproachful tone: "I drank so much wine just after I came back, I'm not afraid of your sister worrying... Drinking alcohol is not good for your health, and it is especially easy to cause accidents, so remember to drink less after you arrive in the capital."

"Hey, it's all right."

Jiang Lun scratched his head.

Zhu Youzhu handed the telescope to Jiang Lun, Jiang Lun took it over and put it in front of his eyes carefully, Zhang Zuo introduced on his behalf: "The telescope, as the name suggests, can bring things in the distance closer... This is made by Zhu Hao, the local There are Liuli workshops that can process it, but there is no such thing in other places. If it is used as a tribute, it may be able to gain insight into the enemy's situation on the battlefield and predict the enemy first."

Jiang Lun put the telescope in front of his eyes and looked at it for a long time. Because he drank too much wine, his vision was blurred and he couldn't see anything. He shook his head and handed it back to Lu Song.

Lu Song originally thought that Zhang Zuo was bragging.

It's all right for Zhu Hao to be able to pinch and count, but he still knows how to make colored glaze?
What number of ways is this?
When Lu Song took it over and looked out the window, he couldn't help being surprised. He changed several angles, and the clarity of things he saw was different, but he could really bring the distant scenery closer.

Zhu Hao came forward to guide: "Lu Dianzhan, the telescope needs to focus, that is, to twist the thing in the middle to see objects at different distances, and it needs to be adjusted."

As a soldier, Lu Song felt that this thing might shine on the battlefield.

"Brother-in-law, I just came back from the capital, and I was asked to go again. The mountains are long and the water is far away, isn't it..." Jiang Lun didn't care about what the telescope was at this time, he only cared about traveling thousands of miles to the capital, which was too much trouble people.

Zhu Youzhao said: "The first time I went there, you were the deputy envoy. After you came back, I heard that you made friends with people from all walks of life in the capital and handled all kinds of relationships with ease, so this time I plan to use you as the envoy and let Lu Dianzhang escort you all the way. And accompanying, you don’t have to stay for too long, just go back and forth for more than a month.”

"This……"

Jiang Lun was still reluctant.

It seems an honor to serve the palace, but for a man like him who has no ambitions, it is just a hard errand job.

If he had been looking forward to the last time he went to the capital, he wanted to see the style of the capital after a long absence, but now he has long since given up thinking about it.

Zhu Youzhu directly issued the order instead of asking for opinions first, so he didn't intend to leave room for his brother-in-law. Then he looked at Zhu Hao who had been called over temporarily, and asked, "If the imperial court thinks this tribute is good, do you have the ability to make a batch?" come out?"

Zhu Hao replied: "It can be done, but the cost is very high."

Zhang Zuo laughed and said, "Such a small object won't cost much, right?"

Apparently Zhang Zuo was thinking about the palace, he wanted to send Zhu Hao to work for the palace, and he wanted to save money.

The butler's mind is complicated.

Jiang took turns speaking for Zhu Hao: "Zhang Fengzheng, since you have said that this thing is unique in the world, then the price must be extraordinary."

Zhu Haodao: "Glass is fired with sand, and the cost itself is not high, but if you have to select delicate pieces of glaze from the fired glaze and polish it carefully, the cost will rise sharply."

Zhang Zuo nodded, glanced at Zhu Youzhao, and found that Zhu Youzhao didn't care about the price, so he asked on behalf of the palace, "Then how much would it cost?"

Zhu Hao pondered for a while, and said: "If it is made by the way when making colored glaze, the cost is almost nothing, but if it is specially made... it may cost about twenty taels of silver."

"Hiss...it's really not cheap."

Zhang Zuo looked at Zhu Youtang again, after all, King Xing was needed to make a decision.

Zhu Youzhao said: "Zhang Fengzheng, if the palace allocates two thousand taels of silver at a time, is there any problem?"

Zhang Zuo calculated in his mind: "Uh... not too bad."

"Well, when sending the tribute, put it on the list. If His Majesty thinks it can help my Ming Dynasty, I Xing Wangfu is willing to build a hundred of them to help the lieutenants spy on the enemy's situation."

For Zhu Youtang, this time it was a "blood capital".

Two thousand taels of silver may not be a big deal to a big merchant like Su Xigui.

However, after all, Prince Xing's Mansion relies on the appropriation of funds from the imperial court for food. All the salaries of the entire royal mansion are supported by the imperial court, and most of the money used for activities comes from the farmland of the Wang Mansion. Two thousand taels at once is indeed a lot.
