Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 534

This time the trade with the West, Qingji is very important.

It is difficult to transport across thousands of miles.

Bring as many commodities as you can, preferably ones that are priceless.

"I also know that Shu brocade...is hard to find in the Central Plains."

Qing Ji nodded slightly and said, "We don't have to have the specifications of Shu brocade for silk traded in the West."

"Keep improving. Ceramics are the same, as beautiful as possible, and have collection value! The texture must be high-quality, like the texture of silk, and it cannot be crudely manufactured."

"promise!"

Wen Zhong quickly agreed.

However, Qingji knew that his commanding command might not be feasible.

How expensive Shu brocade and porcelain are, you may not be able to tell now.

If this is in later generations, what is the value of those exquisite porcelains from the Xuande Kiln and Qianlong Kiln that have been hundreds of years old?
tens of millions.

Hundreds of millions!

Of course, that has historical value.

Of course, Qingji knew that with the craftsmanship of this era, it was impossible to produce ceramics of that level.

It can only be said that it is man-made, and we must strive for perfection!

……

After the court meeting, Qingji returned to his Zide Hall to handle daily government affairs.

As the monarch of Wu State, Qingji can be said to be taking care of every day.

However, he doesn't have to do everything himself, he insists on doing everything by himself.

It's exhausting.

Qing Ji is not a workaholic like Ying Zheng and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Working overtime every day, staying up late at night, going to court before dawn...

Qingji absolutely does not want to do this kind of life.

Fortunately, in this era, the people are simple and honest, and people's moral bottom line is still there. Basically, there is very little corruption.

Once something serious happens, Qingji can also allow Li Shu to file an imperial lawsuit.

If Qingji had to do everything, what else would those ministers do?
This is still Wu State with a vast territory and a population of several million. If it is a country like Lu State, Wei State, or Song State, the king of a country may have to take care of trivial matters.

For example, in "Cao GUI's Controversy", before the battle of Changshao, Cao GUI asked Duke Zhuang of Lu three questions.

Question: "War for what?"

The Duke said: "The food and clothing of the war is secure, so don't dare to specialize, you must divide the people."

Confrontation: "War Xiaohui is not all over, and the people are not obedient."

The Duke said: "If you sacrifice jade and silk in battle, don't dare to add it, you must believe it."

Confrontation: "Zhan Xiaoxin is not satisfied, God is blessed."

The Duke said: "War small and big prisons, although you can't detect them, you must use emotions."

Confrontation: "The genus of Zhan Zhong is also. You can fight. If you fight, please follow."

It can be seen from this that even the king of a country like Lu Zhuanggong sometimes even has to intervene in prison matters.

Qingji is different.

As long as there is no one to sue, Qingji will not be able to go to the trial of the case.

"Your Majesty, the Great Worker ordered the General to ask for an audience."

At this time, CRRC Mansion ordered Jiao Hua to enter the Zide Hall, and bowed to Qingji to report.

"General? Xuan."

"promise!"

Not long after, as a general of the Great Work Order, he entered the Zide Hall with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye, and paid homage to the Jiji celebration ceremony on the majesty's platform: "Minister general, see the king! The king is forever!"

"There is no need to be too polite. General, sit down!"

"Thank you king!"

Gan Jiang sat with half of his body bent and sat on the side of the Majesty's platform.

Qing Ji still puts a lot of emphasis on go-getters.

When Qingji promulgated the order of seeking talents and set up the golden platform, he was the first general to bring the Longyuan sword and the general Moxie sword to seek an official, and was then entrusted by Qingji with important tasks.

In a flash, eleven years have passed!

Sometimes, Qingji also has to sigh, time flies, time flies.

He used to be a high-spirited young man, but now he is in his thirties.

"General, it's the expansion of the palace. Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Qingji asked rather puzzled.

As the Great Work Order of the State of Wu, the go-getter has always been very busy.

In addition to managing various weapon workshops in the Wu Kingdom, the generals also need to cooperate with the construction of the Wu Palace...

There is a lot of oil and water in this errand.

Recently, Qingji received a report from Heibingtai, saying that the general was very close to Bo Tong.

These days, the go-getters embezzled a lot of public funds and made a lot of money.

In this regard, Qingji did not intend to expose the illegal actions of the go-getters.

After all, generals are of great use to Qing Ji.

As long as the go-getters don't go too far, Qing Ji may not have to pretend not to know.

"No, no, no."

The general's face was full of smiles, and he said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, I am here to offer you a jar of fine wine!"

"Wine?"

Qingji was quite speechless.

Go-getter, why don't you do business properly, offer wine to please the widow?

Qingji frowned, but he didn't reject the general's kindness.

After all, reaching out doesn't hit the smiley person.

"Where is the wine?"

Gan Jiang smiled, then clapped his hands, and saw that Jiao Hua was already holding a jar of wine, slowly entering the Zide Hall.

Everything that is used to celebrate Jiji, whether it is drinks, dishes, or even other things, must be checked.

This is to ensure the safety of Qingji.

For example, the wine was tasted by the maid before, and it was confirmed that it was not poisoned before it was delivered to Qingji.

Although it was too cautious, Qingji didn't mind too much.

After all, there is no big mistake in being careful!
Qingji had too many enemies, it was inevitable that no one would want to assassinate him.

Even if it is something offered by such an important minister of the country, without exception, it must be tested.

"My lord, please."

With a flattering smile on his face, the general picked up the wine jar and poured a jug of wine for Qingji.

After Qing Ji took the wine jue that was handed over by Jiao Hua, he didn't drink it immediately, but said with a faint smile: "General, the wines and wines that I have drunk are innumerable."

"What's unique about the fine wine you offered?"

"Your Majesty will know as soon as you drink it."

Go-getters also sold a pass.

Qing Ji chuckled, then drank the wine in one gulp, feeling the fragrance in his throat, bitter, sweet, and spicy.

Sweet, bitter, hot, salty, just like the various states of life, Qing Ji tasted them all.

This is what wine should taste like.

However, the fine wine that Qingji is drinking now is extremely mellow.

The alcohol content is not high, just like most drinks in this era.

Although this is the case, Qingji has a feeling of endless aftertaste.

What does it feel like?
Can't tell, don't know.

"Good wine!"

Qing Ji, who drank the wine, couldn't help but see the light in his eyes.

"General, who brews your fine wine? What's the craftsmanship?"

Qingji smells a chance to make a fortune.

The present state of Wu has no shortage of food at all, which can be used to make wine wantonly and increase a lot of fiscal revenue for the treasury.

As the king of a country, this is the first thing Qingji thinks of.

You must know that grain was generally used for brewing in ancient times, and in feudal dynasties, grain production was low.

Therefore, winemaking is a major event, resulting in the exclusive secret recipe of ancient times.
