Enter the Room

Chapter 231

There was silence in the hall.

Who doesn’t know what Wan Xiaoquan has done as a pottery supervisor in Jingdezhen over the years?

Every time he calls a "good thing", it depends on who it is for.

Everyone lowered their heads, you looked at me, I looked at you, and finally turned their attention to Song Jiyun, who was actually standing in front of everyone this time.

Her posture was upright, her expression was calm, she looked confident, and she was very calm.

As expected of Boss Song who dared to fight with Eunuch Wan!

Everyone secretly sighed in unison, and suddenly felt that they were all affected by her. They felt certain in their hearts and their backs became hardened.

The master felt the subtle changes in everyone, and couldn't help but cast a vague glance at Song Jiuyun. A hint of ruthlessness flashed through his eyes, and then he said: "Everyone knows that the Song Kiln Factory produces a kind of kiln called 'Tianbai' The new porcelain was also presented to the palace. What people didn't expect was that the imperial kiln factory had just designated it as a tribute to the imperial porcelain, and the Song family kiln factory used it privately without the consent of the imperial kiln factory. On folk porcelain."

When he said this, he paused and asked Song Jiyun sternly: "Boss Song, what do you have to say?"

According to the rules, the best things must be presented to the emperor.

Song Jiyun gave the things submitted by the emperor to the common people. If he is investigated seriously, it will be a capital crime.

Just like the Song Kiln Factory wants to take back the "jade porcelain", it needs the consent of the Imperial Kiln Factory.

Song Jiyun, however, remained calm and said, "I don't understand what Master is saying. Didn't you, the imperial kiln factory, take a fancy to our sweet white porcelain? How come you are so dismissive of it at this time, and instead say that we don't want to submit it to you?"

After she finished speaking, she took a few steps forward, walked to the aisle that everyone had given way to, and said loudly: "Dear colleagues, some of you have participated in the bidding of the Royal Kiln Factory, and some of you have not. I will explain it to you here. It’s about the imperial kiln factory’s bidding.”

Then she didn't wait for the people on Eunuch Wan's side to speak, and said directly: "From now on, any family in Jingdezhen that produces porcelain that can be presented to the imperial court does not need to participate in the bidding of the imperial kiln factory. Because the manufacturing office will based on the opinions of the nobles in the palace. According to demand, the orders are sent to the imperial kiln factory one to two years in advance, and the imperial kiln factory then arranges the kilns or workshops that can submit the porcelain according to the orders from the manufacturing office to start firing porcelain."

When she said this, she sneered at Eunuch Wan: "But since Master Wan came, I feel that this system is unfair to everyone. If we always make porcelain in the same house, what if someone makes a better product than before?" If the emperor presents better porcelain, wouldn’t it mean that we can’t give the best to the emperor?

"At that time, all the porcelain burners in Jingdezhen thought Master Wan's words made sense. They all wanted to present their best porcelain to the emperor and participate in the bidding for the imperial kiln factory. But Master Wan also said that if everyone participated in the bidding, it would be time-consuming and costly. It is laborious, wastes people and money. It is proposed that the imperial kiln factory designates several large and powerful kiln factories and distinctive workshops to participate in the bidding."

Song Jiyun said coldly: "I didn't receive any messages from the Royal Kiln Factory this year!"

She even asked Eunuch Wan aggressively: "Master Wan, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Whispers immediately sounded in the hall.

Someone who experienced this incident with the Song family kiln quietly testified for Song Jiyun.

Eunuch Wan was already livid.

Of course, the people around him couldn't let Song Jiyun ask questions on his face.

The master said hurriedly: "Don't mess around here! I wrote the post for your family from the Royal Kiln Factory this year. Why didn't I post it for your family?"

At that time, Wan's father-in-law was so embarrassed that he was sure that she would not stop working at the imperial kiln factory. Not to mention posting for Song Jiyun, he was also preparing to humiliate her severely when Song Jiyun arrived. How could he post for her?

There is no use arguing about this.

But quarreling, isn't it just talking over trivial matters?

"I didn't receive the post!" Song Jiyun said calmly, "How about you recall who you gave the post to in the first place? Who was it by? When did you send it? In case the people below are pretending to be powerful and do something wrong, we will take advantage of this opportunity. Take this opportunity to resolve this misunderstanding. What do you think?"

Is this scolding him?

The master had to endure it with all his strength so as not to fall out with Song Jiyun, but everyone could see that he was depressed, and his expression was as ugly as that of Wan Gonggong.

Song Tao coughed heavily and reminded Master not to be too fast-talking with Song Jiyun.

If Song Jiyun really quarrels with others, not many people can defeat her!

The master also calmed down. He directly skipped this matter and talked about the so-called "good things": "Master Wan has always been diligent and caring for the people in Jingdezhen these years. It is obvious to everyone, otherwise Jingdezhen's porcelain would not be the same." It has increased from 80,000 to 90,000 pieces per year to 150,000 pieces now.

“This is also because Mr. Wan believes that only when a hundred flowers bloom can a hundred flowers bloom.

"But now, the Songjia Kiln Factory is using the new technique of sweet white porcelain to burn blue and white porcelain. It is so outstanding that most of the kilns and workshops in Jingdezhen have no work to do, leaving nine of the ten kilns in Jingdezhen empty. If this continues, who else will Burning porcelain?"

Everyone disagreed.

This is not because Eunuch Wan supports the price reduction of Liangyu Kiln Factory!

What's more, porcelain firing is originally an industry that will retreat if it doesn't advance, and it keeps moving forward against the odds. Only by constantly thinking of ways to fire new porcelain can this industry prosper, always occupy the top spot, push down kilns in other places, and become the number one in the country.

The crowd listened unmoved.

The master was excited, and he said loudly: "So Eunuch Wan decided to ask the Song Kiln Factory to hand over the recipe for sweet white porcelain, so that everyone in Panjing De Town can share it!"

After falling into a brief silence, the main hall exploded with a "coax" sound.

"Can this still happen?!"

"If we have the recipe for sweet white porcelain, can we also make new blue and white porcelain?"

"Boss Song, are you willing to hand it over?"

"Master Wan is here, so she has to hand it over even if she doesn't, right? Otherwise, she can be charged with disrespect. After all, new porcelain like Tianbai porcelain should be presented to the emperor first."

Except for a few people, everyone couldn't help but talk, and they all thought about how they would get out of the current predicament if they got the formula for sweet white porcelain.

Song Jiuyun's eyes were filled with cold light as he scanned the crowd.

The discussion gradually died down.

Everyone had different expressions and secretly exchanged glances with each other, but no one stood up to respond to what had just been said.

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn and filled with embarrassment.

Eunuch Wan was so angry that the corners of his mouth trembled.

Song Tao was anxious.

She didn't expect that it was like this, and she couldn't afford to provoke the greed of some people.

Is Song Jiyun that great?

In less than a year, it has already gained great prestige?

She didn't have time to think about it.

The stage has been set up, but after passing this village there is no such shop.

"Yes!" Faced with the huge interests, Song Tao had no choice but to take action in person and said with a smile, "Didn't Magistrate Jiang once praise my cousin as a woman who is not inferior to men? My cousin has always been broad-minded, forthright and open-minded. I think I can understand Mr. Wan's painstaking efforts. , don’t care about these little things.”

Finally caught up...
