The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 106 Master Ye is in the same frame as Zhu Yuanzhang, a living dragon and tiger fighting for hegemony!

"As for the merchants queuing up behind, there is no need to wait in line today."

"Our Master Ye is at the Yanmen Beef Hotel, and we have prepared drinks for everyone!"

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes,

A maid dressed in a lavender Ming-style Hanfu stood under the back door and said to all the merchants.

A three-point smile is polite!
But this melodious and neither humble nor overbearing voice is enough to show that in her heart, she, the maid of the magistrate's family, is far more noble than these wealthy businessmen!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the maid who was as temperamental as the eldest lady of the official family, and immediately verified a sentence. It is true that the maids are more beautiful than his imperial concubine, as if they were selected from thousands of miles from house to house.

At this moment, Empress Ma saw obvious envy and vague yearning in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

Empress Ma didn't care about this, she knew that men with successful careers were greedy, the emperor was like this, and so was the magistrate.

What's more, he couldn't even plow so many fields of his own, and he could pull them down just by looking at them.

As for those merchants who were sent away, although they all showed a bit disappointed, they didn't dare to blame Ye Qing in the slightest.

They knew that Master Ye only invited them to a meal because he broke the rule of not seeing guests after Shen Shi.

They are already grateful for such feedback!

As far as the current 'Yanmen Group' is concerned, even if Ye Qingdian is bullying customers, they can only accept it, and being able to show something is enough to prove the super character of Master Ye!

The big deal is to queue up again tomorrow. Although it took a day to delay, it is indeed a profit to be able to play here for an extra day.

After all, there are various clubs here, but you can never experience them outside of Yanmen County.

The "Sea Battle to Kill the Japanese" theme package of Sai Guifei Clubhouse is fierce and turbulent, the theme package of "Going to the North and Mie Yuan" is powerful and unrestrained, and the theme package of "Dream Back to the Silk Road" has a refreshing feeling that if you don't break Loulan, you will never return it. Happy race fairy!

But even so, they still cast envious and even jealous eyes on Zhu Yuanzhang.

And such gaze, Zhu Yuanzhang still enjoys it very much in his heart!

At this moment, he only felt that he looked like an imperial champion, but these people were just failed officials who would only come back next year!

But then Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and now he just felt very angry. He, a dignified founding emperor, saw a mere Qipin magistrate, as if he had taken an imperial examination.

The tone in his heart made Ye Qing panic if he didn't vent it to Ye Qing, but on the surface he quickly entered the role of 'Guo Rui'.

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly ran forward and said with a smile, "We are Guo Rui!"

The servant girl only looked at the gatekeeper from the corner of her eye, and after getting a nod from the gatekeeper, she said, "Then come with me!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma were ready to cross the threshold of the back door.

At the same time, Empress Ma directly handed over three banknotes with a denomination of "one hundred guan" to the gatekeepers.

At the same time as the gatekeeper was keeping accounts, he also stopped Mao Xiang and the others who wanted to follow in: "This is Master Ye's private house. You and other warriors are not allowed to enter, even if you hand in your weapons!"

When the gatekeeper said this sentence, both his eyes and his tone were commanding and threatening.

Before Mao Xiang could speak, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and ordered: "This is Mrs. Ye's private house, our safety is not a problem, you just wait outside."

"Yes, sir!"

As soon as Mao Xiang finished speaking, he led his subordinates to continue squatting in the corner, and these young pro-military guards changed their faces as soon as they turned around.

Ever since they became pro-military, they never thought that they could have this kind of treatment that they could not enter through the front and rear doors in this life, but they have tasted everything in this encounter.

They only expect their emperor to say 'go, dispatch troops' to them after his majesty goes out!
At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma also followed the leading maid into Ye Qing's private house, but the two of them distanced themselves from the leading maid!
There is no other reason,

Just because of what they have seen and heard along the way, they can't help but stop and 'watch'!
"Is this the private house that Qipinzhi County should have?"

"The county government office is comparable to a king's mansion, and the private house built in the back of the county government office is comparable to a marquis' mansion. It seems that Ye Qing doesn't even know the word transgressive."

Although Zhu Yuanzhang said that as long as Ye Qing behaved properly, he would not be prosecuted for the crime of transgressing the rules, but he still couldn't help but say a few words.

In fact, the site is comparable to the Hou Mansion!

Whether it is the quality of the buildings or the taste of the garden landscape, it is not comparable to the likes of Yongjia Hou.

Empress Ma saw Zhu Yuanzhang's stern face again, so she was going to remind her Chongba that he was just a wealthy businessman Guo Rui, not the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

But just when she was about to speak, she was also shocked by the scene in front of her.

In Empress Ma's eyes, it was just a lighthouse taller than half a person. There were many lighthouses like this in the palace, but they were only used as street lights at night.

The lighthouse in the palace is made of stone in the shape of a gazebo, but the lighthouse here is not made of stone. On the black metal column and platform, there is a colored glass lampshade in the shape of a gazebo.

At a glance, all along the road are colored glass lampshades in the shape of gazebos, or a single red color, or a single orange color.

There are seven lighthouses along the way, with seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple.

Although the lights have not been lit yet, she can already imagine the visual senses of walking on this road at night.

The beautiful full moon and stars are on the head, and the rainbow is dreaming all the way under the feet!
Thinking of this, even Empress Ma felt that Ye Qing's extravagance was too much!
In fact, China has a long history of making glass. The word "Qi Lin" in "Shangshu" is a good name for glass.

The two sides of the sword lattice of King Goujian of Yue King are inlaid with glass and turquoise!
Huaxia's glass production technology evolved from the original enamel technology. During the Warring States Period, the mold casting method was used to make large glass objects.

After the Han Dynasty, more glass products could be produced, such as glass earrings, glass belt hooks, glass bowls, glass plates, etc.

Mr. Huan Kuan of the Western Han Dynasty wrote in "Salt and Iron Theory" that "bi jade, coral and colored glaze are the treasures of the country".

In this way, the term "glass" was used to refer to glass, and it was used until the Ming Dynasty!
That is to say, the royal family in the early Qing Dynasty thought that the word "Liu Li" had the same pronunciation as "Liu Li", which was not auspicious, so they changed the name to "Glass".

And in the history of China, glass is not only called Liuli, but also has such good names as Lu Li, Poli, Huo Qi, Langgan, Mingyuezhu, and Sese!

The technology of making glass has existed since the Ming Dynasty, but it is absolutely impossible to make this kind of glass with uniform texture, single and uniform color.

It is precisely because it is impossible to make glass products with a single color and absolutely uniform and transparent, so I prefer to make glass products with complex colors.

Of course, with good luck, one can be made.

In Empress Ma's perception, the most perfect glazed product in the world is the 'transparent glazed vase' that Zhu Yuanzhang is reluctant to use!
That is the only perfect colored glaze tribute since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!

But he, Ye Qing, is using this kind of tribute-grade glass lampshade, and he can only use seven of them!
This is only what she saw on this road, I'm afraid there are lampshades like this on other roads in this private house!
Before Empress Ma could express his emotions, Zhu Yuanzhang had already clenched his molars: "This guy, dare to use the tribute glass as a lampshade?"

"The point is, compared with this, our tribute glass is not even a star!"

At this very moment,
When the servant girl saw that the person was lost, she immediately turned back, only to realize that they were actually looking around the lampshade.

The servant girl reminded them: "If you and Mr. Ye reach a deal, Mr. Ye is willing to keep you for dinner, and you can watch it slowly."

"Such glazed lanterns are everywhere in this house, especially the landscape paths in the garden, which are even more beautiful at night."

"I think this lady will like it very much!"

For such a situation, the servant girl is no stranger to it.

He wouldn't laugh at them for not seeing the world, because that's how she came here too.

Empress Ma looked at this maid who was not inferior to the official lady, and replied politely: "Then I hope so."

As soon as the words fell, she and Zhu Yuanzhang continued to follow, but Zhu Yuanzhang charged Ye Qing with the crime of 'disrespecting the emperor with tribute'!
at last,

They were led to a reception hall that was filled with the smell of money, but it was definitely not vulgar, and it was quite elegant and tasteful.

As far as the eye can see, any decoration is an heirloom-level existence.

"You guys wait here, don't move around, I'll report to Master Ye!"

As soon as the servant girl finished speaking, she turned around decisively.

After the servant girl left, the two of them just looked around like this, knowing the usefulness of these things without even thinking about it.

That is to show off one's financial strength, so that the wealthy businessmen who come here can weigh in, how big a business they want to be, so that they are worthy of cooperating with him, Ye Qing.

But in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, this also completely violated the traditional idea of ​​"no money leaks out".

But when he thinks about the talents of those gatekeepers and special agents, he also thinks that Ye Qing really doesn't need to worry about being robbed.

Soon, the eyes of the two were all focused on one place.

In the eyes of the two of them, there are three transparent glass covers directly behind them that are taller than humans!
Inside the glazed cover, there were actually three sets of armor and three weapons!

When the two of them took a closer look, they were immediately stunned.

Zhu Yuanzhang, an armor expert who is familiar with history, recognized these three sets of armor supported by human-shaped brackets at a glance.

Looking at the first glass cover from the left, Zhu Yuanzhang stared wide-eyed and said, "General Armor in the Warring States Period, there are seal characters engraved on the long sword, but these are not Qin seal characters!"

Empress Ma added: "It should be Zhao Dazhuan of Zhao State, but most of them have been lost, and I don't know these characters."

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the second and third glass covers.

"General Jia of the Han Dynasty, the sword is engraved with 'Emperor Qin', and there is also the private seal of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che?"

"The Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Hengdao engraved with 'Emperor Qin', and also the private seal of Tang Taizong Li Shimin?"

Empress Ma looked at the handwriting and thought it was absolutely true!

But looking at these brand-new armors and weapons, I feel that the traces of time are missing!

But Zhu Yuanzhang, an expert on armor and weapons with a good history, said firmly: "All are genuine products, but because of their excellent maintenance, they have been handed down to this day without any trace of time."

"Which merchant honors him with this heirloom?"

"Can this also be given away?"

But at this very moment,

A young yet steady voice came from behind him: "They are all fakes, they are just imitations."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still focusing on these three sets of armor and weapons, just replied subconsciously: "Impossible, this is definitely the real thing!"

Behind Zhu Yuanzhang, Ye Qing just smiled and nodded.

He only thought that the imperial envoy should be a military general, but he was so knowledgeable.

Yes,

These three sets of armor and the weapons inside are all authentic! .
　Sorry for being late, please follow up and support me, thank you!
