The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 26 Custom Porcelain Jar
They were all very happy in their hearts, but they didn't dare to applaud.This Zhizhou young master has no other skills, but he is unambiguous in rectifying people.

At the end of the crowd, a pair of big bright eyes quietly looked at Zhao Dongting.

After Yue Peng and Li Yuanxiu cleaned up these young masters with ease, according to Zhao Dongting's instructions, they scraped off their belts and coats, tied them to the legs of the horses, and then tied the horses to the pillars of the inn by the street .The current scene was quite shocking.

Brother Jun was still yelling at him in a row, but after being punched by Yue Peng, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, so he calmed down.

A good man does not suffer from immediate losses. Although he is a dude, he is not stupid. This truth is still understood.

Zhao Dongting leisurely went to sit in the shade by the street, chewing candied haws while waiting for the two young men to bring someone over.

The people around were also reluctant to leave.

Not long after, the horseshoes could be heard roaring like thunder.

Hundreds of cavalry in armor and armor galloped up, and the onlookers were so shocked that they retreated to the side of the street.

The leader is wearing a purple official uniform, an official hat, and two wings with clouds inserted dangling.The Chinese character face, big thick eyebrows, majestic and impressive.

Seeing him, Young Master Zhizhou immediately showed joy, "Father!"

Those sons and buddies are also very respectful and even call Master Zhizhou.

This person is Ge Lijun, the magistrate of Leizhou Prefecture.

In fact, Lord Geli is only a fifth-rank official, but now that the imperial court has fallen and he occupies the land of Leizhou Prefecture, his status is naturally extraordinary.

Seeing his own son being stripped of his coat and tied to the horse's leg, with a bruised nose and swollen face, Mr. Ge Li's face suddenly became gloomy, his eyes swept over the people around him, and he said gloomyly: "I'm hurting my son Where did the people go?"

He only thought that the person who hurt his son must have run away.

The two servants hurriedly pointed to Zhao Dongting who was sitting on the steps, "Master, he's right there!"

Mr. Ge Li fixed his eyes on Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting stood up leisurely and said, "Lord Ge is such a powerful official..."

Mr. Ge Li had already heard about Zhao Dongting's identity from the two servants, at this moment he frowned slightly and said, "Who are you, Mr. Lu?"

Zhao Dongting turned his head slightly to look at Li Yuanxiu beside him.

Li Yuanxiu understood, stepped forward and said: "Ge Li Jun, why don't you be polite when you see the Emperor?"

Mr. Ge Li was transferred to Leizhou from Lin'an, and he used to be a Beijing official.Li Yuanxiu had been in the court for decades, and he was also fortunate to meet him.

At this time, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Li Yuanxiu, then suddenly remembered, and said in shock: "Are you Eunuch Li?"

Li Yuanxiu was still very dignified in front of outsiders, squeezed his throat and said: "You still remember my father-in-law, why don't you get off your horse and pay homage to the Holy Majesty?"

Before Mr. Ge Li got off his horse, the people around him knelt down and shouted long live.

In front of him was a mass of black heads.

Brother Jun and those sons were dumbfounded for a moment.

Before he dared to say big things, saying that the emperor had to rely on his father's breath, it was because the emperor was not in front of him.Knowing that Zhao Dongting is the emperor now, of course he is also afraid. After all, they were brought up with the education that the king is the best.

Mr. Ge Li's complexion changed a few times, he got off his horse and knelt down on the ground, "Mr. Ge Li kowtowed to the Holy One!"

Zhao Dongting didn't let him get up, and said, "Master Ge is really good at teaching children..."

After speaking, he turned his head straight and walked towards the facade of the porcelain workshop not far away.

Of course Li Yuanxiu and Yue Peng would not talk to Ge Lijun again, they also turned around and left.

Mr. Ge Li glared at his unlucky son, knelt on the ground and looked at Zhao Dongting's back with gloomy eyes.

After walking about ten steps, Zhao Dongting suddenly turned his head and said in a deep voice, "If Mr. Ge doesn't discipline your son properly, then I can only discipline him on his behalf."

Mr. Ge Li quickly restrained his expression and kowtowed heavily, "Your Majesty, forgive me."

Zhao Dongting stopped talking, turned around and left again.

The big bright eyes at the end of the crowd also quietly left at this time.

When Zhao Dongting's figure disappeared into the porcelain workshop, Ge Lijun stood up, ordered his cavalry to untie his son and his cronies, and then got on his horse and led the army away.

Next to him was a man who looked like a military adviser, and asked Ge Lijun: "My lord, don't we go in and follow the emperor? Serve the left and right?"

Ge Lijun snorted coldly: "What's there to follow, why don't you go to see that child's face again!"

The military teacher said: "But in this way, the emperor must not blame you for being rude?"

Ge Lijun sneered, "So what if you blame him? He might not be able to do anything about me?"

The military master's eyes froze, knowing what his lord was thinking, he pondered slightly, and said again: "Then why don't we bring him to the mansion, and in the future...wouldn't it be beautiful to take the emperor to command the princes?"

Mr. Ge Li looked at him with eyes like a fool, "You are such an elm-headed man! We forcibly took away the emperor under the eyes of everyone, how will the outside world talk about your lord?"

The military division smiled sarcastically, "My lord is more considerate."

Mr. Ge Li nodded quite complacently, looked back at his dejected son behind him, and said: "Jun'er, you stay at home honestly these few days, and don't come out to cause trouble again." "Don't try to find trouble with the emperor."

He still knew his son's nature, and he was red-eyed as he had never suffered a disadvantage, fearing that he really dared to pull the emperor off his horse.

Ge Jun really had this idea in his heart, but he was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid of the death of his father, so he could only nod honestly.

Over there, Zhao Dongting, Li Yuanxiu, and Yue Peng walked to the front of the porcelain workshop.

As soon as Yue Peng entered the door, he said softly to Zhao Dongting: "Your Majesty, this Lord Ge does not seem to be a loyal person like what Lord Lu said. He just looked at your eyes, Your Majesty, and the general seemed to sense something fierce in it." meaning."

Zhao Dongting smiled softly, "What kind of loyalty? It's not bad that he didn't proclaim himself king or surrender to the Yuan army."

From the various details of Ge Lijun's actions just now, Zhao Dongting can naturally see a lot of things.After all, he managed a large company with hundreds of people in his previous life, and experienced countless entertainments. If he couldn't even see this, then his eyes would be useless.

"What a sycophant!"

Li Yuanxiu cursed in a low voice, then hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, should we leave first, the old servant is afraid that the courtier will harm you."

Zhao Dongting said confidently, "Don't worry, he wouldn't dare."

Then, looking at Yue Peng and Li Yuanxiu's puzzled expressions, he had to explain again: "Everyone knows my identity now, if he dares to do anything to me, and if the news gets out, he will be scolded by all the people. Heroes from all over the world are bound to attack him. With the strength of Leizhou, he will become the target of public criticism and there is no way out."

Li Yuanxiu and Yue Peng looked at each other, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

I really don't know how the little emperor's brain grows, at such an age, his mind is so mature and sophisticated.

The two of them suddenly felt that they seemed to have lived on dogs all these years.Especially for the older Li Yuanxiu, this feeling was even stronger.

The people from the porcelain workshop were also watching the fun just now, when they saw Zhao Dongting coming in, they quickly knelt down on the ground, "Welcome to the emperor..."

Shopkeepers and handymen knelt all over the room.

Zhao Dongting was also a little surprised when he saw the dazzling array of porcelain in the room.

Song porcelain is very famous in history, among which the five official kilns are the most.Although there is no official kiln in Leizhou Prefecture, the workmanship and style of these porcelains are really exquisite.

Zhao Dongting thought in his heart, if these porcelains were placed in modern times, they would be inexhaustible wealth!

But he also just thought about it.

Traveling to ancient times in a daze, I really didn't dare to think that I could travel back to modern times.

Asking everyone kneeling on the ground to get up, Zhao Dongting said: "Can you take over the work of making porcelain here?"

The shopkeeper bowed, with a respectful and humble face, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes."

Zhao Dongting gestured with his hands to show the size again, and said, "For a porcelain jar of this size, there should be about an inch and a half of the rim on it. It is not necessary to be exquisite, the less conspicuous the better. How much does a porcelain jar like this cost?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while, and replied: "Going back to the emperor, including raw materials, labor, etc., the cost is probably less than two cents."

Of course he didn't dare to quote the selling price to Zhao Dongting.

Two pennies, the price was so cheap that it was beyond Zhao Dongting's imagination.

According to the current market in the Song Dynasty, four buns can be bought for two Wen, which is about two yuan when converted to modern banknotes.

And one tael of silver can be converted into consistent money, that is, one thousand wen.Now that we are in a period of war, the conversion rate is actually even higher.

Even if you make tens of thousands of porcelain jars, it doesn't cost much.

Zhao Dongting said: "You can make a sample for me first."

The shopkeeper hurriedly invited the three of Zhao Dongting to the back, and the servants served tea and fruit attentively.

This is the emperor, he actually came to his own workshop, they couldn't even imagine it.To be able to see the emperor is a matter of glory to the ancestors.

Behind the facade is the workshop. Zhao Dongting sat under the grape arbor, watching the workers at work.

After all, it is a big workshop, but in less than ten minutes, the rough embryo has been formed.

The shopkeeper personally delivered it to Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting took a look, the shape of the jar was round, similar to that of Tulei, and he couldn't help but feel happy, "That's it. I need to order [-], how long will it take to complete?"

The shopkeeper asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, do you need engraving and glazing?"

Zhao Dongting shook his head, "No, just such a rough embryo can be fired directly in the kiln."

Pulling, engraving, glazing, etc., are all steps in making porcelain.

The shopkeeper thought about it again, and answered with a safe deadline, "The project can be completed in about two months."

Zhao Dongting couldn't help but frown, "It takes so long? Can't we speed up the construction period, can it be faster?"

The shopkeeper said embarrassingly: "This is Cao Min who has left all the rest of the work behind."

"No, no!"

Zhao Dongting knew that time waited for no one, and Zhang Hongfan would attack at an unknown time, so he said to the shopkeeper, "I want you to finish the work within a month, if there is not enough manpower, go and ask people from other workshops to help. Your workshop is so big, you still have some appeal among colleagues in Haikang County, right?"

The shopkeeper had no choice but to agree.

Zhao Dongting nodded in satisfaction, took out twelve taels of gold from his pocket, and handed it to the shopkeeper, "This is the payment for the goods. Every time you burn two thousand porcelain jars, send them to the ferry to Quzhou Island. I will arrange someone to Receive the goods there. But it is agreed in advance that if you fail to deliver on time, you will be punished."

The shopkeeper looked at the gleaming gold ingot, although he was tempted, how could he dare to take it?

The whole world belongs to the emperor. If you accept money from the emperor, isn't that courting death?
Zhao Dongting knew what he was thinking, and put the gold ingot into his hand, "I am the customer, and you are the shop owner. It is only right and proper to sell goods and collect money."

He didn't care about the money, Zhang Shijie and the others came out with a lot of gold and jewelry when they fled from Lin'an City.

Twelve taels of gold are just a drop in the bucket.

The shopkeeper held the gold ingot tremblingly, not daring to speak.These twelve taels of gold were not a small amount to him.

Zhao Dongting didn't care about him, and told him twice that he must complete the work as quickly as possible, and then left with Li Yuanxiu and Yue Peng.

Naturally, the workshop was full of people kneeling again.

Going outside, there are dense crowds of people surrounding the outside.Some had just watched the fun and hadn't left yet, while others rushed over to see Long Yan when they heard that the emperor was coming.

Seeing Zhao Dongting come out, he knelt all over the ground again, shouting long live.

Zhao Dongting was almost frightened by the situation, and waved his hands in a daze and said, "Comrades have worked hard."

All the people present were dumbfounded.

Who among these ancient people could understand his modern language?
