Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 158 Untimely Voices (Second Update, please subscribe!)

For the royal family, the most important thing is all kinds of rare treasures. Even in the collection of the emperor of Chengde, there are a lot of top-grade or top-quality water jade, so when the emperor of Chengde said ten pieces, his eyes did not blink. a bit.

   In fact, ten is far from enough.

The Great Jin Dynasty had frontier troops in the south, north and west. Take the Pingnan Army in the southern border as an example. There are only 100,000 people in the Pingnan Army, and this kind of telescope can only be allocated to the hands of those who are in command. to really work.

  Ten sticks can only be sent to people of Li Shen's level, and it is impossible to send them to the hands of grassroots generals.

   Of course, with the current relationship between the imperial court and the southern border, this thing will not be sent to the Pingnan Army.

After agreeing to the "overtime" task of Emperor Chengde, Li Xin withdrew from the apse and returned to the side hall where the hundred officials were entertained. There were probably dozens of low tables in the side hall. Waiting for food.

   The seventh prince and the ninth princess were already sitting at the front of the low table. The ninth princess saw Li Xin, her eyes lit up, and she reached out and beckoned.

  Because she was in a large audience, she was still very reserved. She was placed in the Qinghe Princess Mansion, and she has stood up now.

   "Come here."

  Since the emperor has discovered his relationship with the Wei Wangfu, there is no need to hide it. Moreover, Li Xin is now the head guard of the Qinghe Princess's residence, and it is only natural for him to sit with the Qinghe Princess.

   Of course, he was not qualified to sit down.

   As a seventh-rank official, he is not even qualified to enter.

   But the two princes and princesses have no opinion, and it is naturally impossible for others to jump out and accuse them.

  Li Xin sat down on the soft couch very single.

   Ji Lingxiu blinked at Li Xin, and asked, "No one called the father, not even a few brothers, why did they call you away?"

   Li Xin rolled her eyes at her: "If I knew it earlier, I let you keep it a secret. Now Your Majesty knows that I made that object, and I like it very much. Let me make some more."

   Ji Lingxiu giggled: "It's a good thing that the royal father likes you, you can get him more, and the royal father can like you a little more."

   At this moment, the maids and eunuchs in the palace have already started serving dishes. Li Xin pushed a plate of dishes in front of the Ninth Princess and rolled her eyes: "It's nothing to do with you, let's eat yours."

   Nine princesses glared at Li Xin and said with feign anger, "You dare to disrespect this princess!"

In fact, Li Xin's attitude towards the prince and the princess is very problematic. Ordinary seventh-rank officials face such nobles, not to say they are sincere and fearful, but at least respectful. Although Li Xin is still called His Royal Highness, but Attitude has been very casual.

   This is because when Li Xin first met the Seventh Prince, he met as a friend. Later, after the Seventh Prince's identity was revealed, the two gradually became a cooperative relationship, so the relationship was basically equal.

  Li Xin did not pay any attention to the princess, but turned to look at the seventh prince and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness, I have a credit, I don't know if you want it?"

   His Royal Highness King Wei smiled and said, "It is natural to have merit."

   Li Xin's face was calm: "Your Majesty ordered me to get some more telescopic mirrors of this kind, and also named the Ministry of Industry for help. Your Highness can find some people to help me get these things out. Afterwards..."

   "These things are made by the Ministry of Industry and offered to His Majesty."

  In this age when craftsmen are not in the mainstream, it is impossible to get ahead by making utensils, especially before Li Xin has the right to speak.

   In this era, there are only two ways to get ahead, either relying on scientific examinations to climb slowly in the officialdom, or relying on merit to advance step by step!

   In addition to these two ways of civil and military, the other ways are the last stream!

   Instead of this, it is better to give this as a favor to His Royal Highness King Wei.

   His Royal Highness King Wei gave a hearty smile: "Brother Xin is so arrogant, I'll go and say hello to the Ministry of Works when I look back. What craftsmen do you need, just tell me?"

  Li Xin: "I want a few jade craftsmen."

The Ministry of Industry is responsible for the construction of cities, civil engineering repairs, and farmland and reclamation, all of which are major projects without exception. However, in addition to this, the Ministry of Industry also has general supervisors. The Ministry of Households has the right to work as long as it is registered as a worker throughout the country. Therefore, the craftsmen in the household department are all the top skilled craftsmen in the country.

   His Royal Highness King Wei squinted his eyes and smiled: "Okay, I will ask a few jade masters to find you tomorrow."

  Li Xin nodded, and was about to speak, when he suddenly noticed a look, he turned his head to look over.

   The Fourth Prince Ji Huan, who was not far away, was watching Li Xin. Seeing Li Xin looking over, the King Qi smiled, picked up the wine glass, and toasted Li Xin from a distance.

  Li Xin looked calm and turned a blind eye.

  …………

  The birthday of the Son of Heaven ended in praise.

   Li Xin also returned to Yonglefang with Princess Qinghe, but for a few days after that, Li Xin never went to work at Princess Qinghe's mansion, but tinkered with binoculars in his own home.

With the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and the top-grade water jade sent from the palace, the progress of the project was very smooth. About the afternoon of the fourth day, Li Xin had already made three or four "telescopes", but he did not continue to work on it. , but said hello to the craftsmen of the craftsmanship, let them continue to polish the lenses, changed their clothes, and walked out of the yard.

  Tonight is the time when Deyi Lou officially starts selling Zhurong Wine. Li Xin is going to investigate how high the consumption level of the elites in the capital is, so that he can make specific pricing in the future.

  In the evening, the entrance of the building was crowded with people.

   In the past, they came to the Deyi Lou for fun, but today is different. Today they mostly come to buy wine.

   Zhurongjiu's reputation has grown in Beijing after the last round of hype.

It's a pity that the legendary Zhurong wine only appeared for three days, and since then, the proud building has never been taken out. Take out ten jars of toasting wine for sale today.

  I don’t know how many wine shop guests are excited and want to see the power of this kind of spirits.

  Before the sky was completely dark, the first floor of the Deyi Building was already crowded with people.

   When it was time for Xu Shizheng, Cui Jiuniang with a smile appeared on the high platform erected by the proud building, and bowed slightly to the guests.

   "Dear guests, today, at the invitation of all the guests, I will once again take out ten altars of Zhurong wine for sale."

Having said this, Cui Jiuniang paused, and then continued: "It's just that the last time toasting wine caused a few guests to hurt their bodies, so this time the toasting wine will be relatively soft and not as violent as last time. "

   "soft" in Cui Jiuniang's mouth is actually mixed with water.

   The last time the toasting wine in the Deyi Building was at least fifty or sixty degrees, and the ten jars of spirits sold this time will not exceed forty degrees at most.

  Cui Jiuniang turned her body sideways, revealing the ten wine jars behind her, and said with a smile, "Too many guests have come today. For the sake of fairness, we won't set a price for this wine, and the one with the highest price will get it."

   "The reserve price is fifty per jar."

   As soon as Cui Jiuniang finished speaking, an untimely voice rang in the proud building.

   "I will offer five hundred and ten, and I want all of this wine."

   Everyone followed the sound, and a young gentleman in purple walked in.

  Some of the officials in the court are not small. When they saw the appearance of this young man, their faces changed greatly, and they dared not speak again.

   The Dayi Building, which was noisy just now, was silent for a while.
