Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 42 Yang Guozhong's Resentment
Li Fei originally wanted to buy [-]% of Zhaojiayao's shares, but in fact it was just the thinking of later generations, thinking that owning more than half of the shares would allow Zhaojiayao to listen to him and burn porcelain according to his wishes.

He only knows now that there is no need for that at all. The identity of a merchant and craftsman is far from the status of later generations he understands. The Zhao family would never dare to refuse whatever porcelain the Zhao family kiln fired.

"Master Hou, do you want to bake something like this?" Mr. Zhao felt relieved, took a rest for a while, and was able to force himself out of bed. He and his son Zhao Ye took the blueprint provided by Li Fei to study the above. porcelain.

"Can it be made?" The squat pit that Li Fei wants has a trap, which is more complicated than ordinary squat pits. He is not sure whether Datang's current ceramic technology can make it.

"Yes!" Mr. Zhao's answer made Li Fei laugh.

"What about this?" Li Fei took out the blueprint of the tiles again.

Compared with squat pits, tiles are simply too simple, just a layer of ordinary clay pottery and a layer of porcelain surface. Even squat pits with traps can be fired. Tiles are simply trivial.

"Back to Lord Hou, this is very simple, of course it can!" Zhao's father and son replied clearly with a smile.

"That's good." Li Fei nodded in satisfaction.

The next day, Zhao's father and son began to try to make pits and tiles.The tiles were perfectly fired that day, but it was more complicated to squat in the pit, but after three days of continuous attempts by Zhao's father and son, they were successfully fired.

Li Fei is very happy. With the pit and tiles, he will create a modern bathroom.

Zhaojiayao sold [-]% of the share to Li Fei, and finally paid for Li Fei's affairs, which made the people in Zhoujiayao very unwilling.Suppressing Zhaojiayao these years has consumed a lot of energy and material resources, and they are about to succeed, but they didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin, Li Fei, would come out halfway, so that the success fell short.

However, even if he was not reconciled, the original method of forcing Zhaojiayao by framing him could no longer be used at the moment Li Fei was on the Zhaojiayao bar.No matter what, the Zhou family can't fight against the dignified concubine and adoptive son, Lord Jingyang!

Of course, the Zhou family still reported the matter to Wang Chi.

"Li Fei, Marquis of Jingyang?" Wang Ji frowned immediately when he heard about it.

Wang Yu is not only as good as Yang Guozhong in collecting money for the court, but also in collecting money for himself. He takes money very seriously. Although the benefits of Zhou's kiln are not great, there are six or seven thousand yuan a year, and there is still a lot of momentum for development , if Zhaojiayao can be taken down, the benefits will increase a lot every year.

Not only did the Zhou family take refuge under his command, but the daughter of the Zhou family was also his concubine. Li Fei's doing so was tantamount to hurting Wang Hao's face, and Wang Hao was naturally uncomfortable.

However, he didn't feel that Li Fei was deliberately trying to get along with him because of this. After all, Li Fei's age is at that level. The noble concubine likes to be his adopted son, and he was granted the title of Marquis of Jingyang. The thought of arm wrestling is probably because they don't know the relationship between Zhou Jiayao and him, it's just a coincidence!

Regardless of whether things are like this or not, Wang Chi has to think so.

Although Wang Ji's heart is not broad-minded, and he must repay his grievances, even if the Zhou family kiln can get the Zhao family kiln and further develop, the profit distributed to him every year will only be two to three thousand taels more at most.

Behind Li Fei is Concubine Yang Gui who favors the imperial concubine. Wang Ji would never take the initiative to make things difficult for Li Fei just for the sake of face and benefit. If he was so stupid, Wang Ji would not be able to do what he is today.

Moreover, the position of Hubu Shangshu has reached the juncture of final decision. Although Li Linfu supports him, Wang Yu can't be negligent and has no energy to waste on such trivial matters.

"Forget it, since Zhao's kiln has been recruited by Jingyang Hou Li Fei, count their luck, so let's leave them alone. Zhao's kiln is not the only good kiln in Chang'an City, let's look at the others." Wang Ji said.

Wang Ji opened his mouth, and the Zhou family would not have any objections no matter how unwilling they were, so they had no choice but to hold back their breath and turn their eyes to the others again.

Li Fei is remodeling his Hou Mansion, trying to make it as comfortable as possible.

The squatting pits and tiles fired by Zhaojia Kiln were delivered, and Li Fei taught the workers how to inlay tiles.Datang did not have cement yet, so it could only be replaced by clay plus lime and glutinous rice slurry, and the effect was not bad.

On the other hand, the sewage channel connected by the squatting pit was originally planned to be covered with a layer of lime clay with bamboo, but many problems were found. The hole is not big enough, and it will be easily blocked.

If you want to do it, do it well, and if there are problems, you must solve them.

Li Fei simply asked Zhaojia Kiln to burn some more pottery pipes and use the pottery pipes to make sewage channels, and the effect was perfect in an instant.

While Li Fei was busy, a major event happened in the court. The dispute between Yang Guozhong and Wang Hubu's Minister finally came to a conclusion.

With Li Linfu's support and Wang Hao's qualifications, Tang Xuanzong and Li Linfu discussed and finally chose Wang Hao to be the Minister of the Household Department.

It's not that Tang Xuanzong doesn't value Yang Guozhong anymore, but he just wants Yang Guozhong to practice for a few more years.

As the court announced it, Wang Yu was overjoyed, while Yang Guozhong gritted his teeth and was extremely angry.

Yang Guozhong didn't understand Tang Xuanzong's painstaking efforts. After watching the court, Wang Yu repeatedly thanked Li Linfu and accepted congratulations from other officials. Yang Guozhong didn't understand what was going on, and only concentrated all his resentment on Li Linfu.

"Li Linfu, you damn old bastard, I, Yang Guozhong, will swear against you from now on!" Returning to his mansion, Yang Guozhong swore angrily.

He has been fawning on Yang Guozhong all these years, and he has done so many things for him.He personally went to the door to beg, but Li Linfu not only failed to help him, but instead lied to him until now, not paying attention to him at all, but paying more attention to Wang Yu!
At the same time as taking office in the Ministry of Household Affairs, Yang Guozhong and Wang Hao had similar powers, but as soon as Wang Hao became the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting, he immediately became Yang Guozhong's immediate boss.

"Guozhong, this matter concerns your majesty and the imperial concubine, you can't be negligent!" After Wang Ji became the Minister of the Household Department, his address to Yang Guozhong changed suddenly.

Wang Chi was very happy. Originally, he had the same status as Yang Guozhong, but because Yang Guozhong was Concubine Yang's elder brother, he couldn't help bowing his head in front of Yang Guozhong.Now he has become the Minister of the Household Department, and Yang Guozhong is still the servant, so he has become his subordinate, and he can order Yang Guozhong to do things at will.

"Yes, my lord!" Yang Guozhong's face twitched a few times, and he responded with restrained anger.The resentment towards Li Linfu and Wang Ji became more and more profound, and for a long time afterwards, there were not many smiles on his face.
