Chapter 234 The emperor is the best spokesperson
Lu Daban stepped forward with discernment and took away the snacks and tea leaves, then turned around and asked someone to make tea.
Father and son are noisy and noisy, but their affection is not lacking at all.
While making tea, Lu Daban sighed in his heart: Emperor Tianwu...is the most humane emperor, right?
Let the boiling water cool for a while, then pour it into the glass cup that the prince sent yesterday.
The slightly curled tea leaves are shaped like a bird's tongue. They quickly rolled and stretched in the water. They looked as light as cicada wings and as tender as lotus hearts. The quiet orchid fragrance rose with the fragrance of tea.
Lu Daban was slightly stunned: This tea is pretty good!
When Lu Daban brought the tea, he found that the most humane emperor, with a solemn face at the moment, was listening to Fu Chenan's report about Minguo's salt mine...
"You're saying that Duke Min Guo instigated people to want me to be drafted. In fact, he wanted to send two women from his family to the palace to confuse me?"
Fu Chenan pointed out the key point: "The main thing is to let you continue to control the salt mine for him."
Fu Zhonghai sneered: "Dong Min Guo was not innocent in the Fu Jiajun massacre. It just so happened..."
Fu Chenan's eyes also showed a cold look: "If father agrees, I will ask the grocery store to add salt tomorrow."
The quality of the salt produced by Xiao Yingchun is completely different from the traditional salt produced in this era. The finished product is not only purer and more delicate, but also less expensive.
For the same amount of salt, the one at Xiao Yingchun's side is saltier than the one here, but there is no peculiar smell...
The father and son decided upon it, and the tea was almost cold.
Fu Zhonghai picked it up and took a sip, slightly surprised: "This tea is good!"
Fu Chenan stared at the glass.
"Father, when you summon your ministers to discuss matters in your imperial study tomorrow, why not use this cup to make tea?"
Fu Zhonghai looked at the glass in his hand: "Why?"
"Miss Xiao said, you are the most powerful person in Tianwu Kingdom today. If you use glass cups in your imperial study, the ministers will definitely be moved when they see it. What should they use to entertain guests?"
What goes up and what goes down works, it has always been like this.
Liulifang's business will definitely get better and better by then.
A set of glasses was purchased for nine yuan and sold for several hundred taels of silver. If this kind of good business was not publicized, where would the court get the money? !
When Fu Zhonghai heard that "Miss Xiao said it", he immediately ordered Lu Daban: "Do you remember it?"
Lu Daban bowed: "I will remember this."
Fu Chenan went to Xiao Yingchun to explain the arrangements for the banquet tomorrow. The two of them discussed it and Xiao Yingchun agreed readily, but Fu Chenan felt uneasy.
"If you feel you are in danger, don't worry about anyone or anything. Just come back here."
Xiao Yingchun nodded: "I know."
Fu Chenan: "I asked Mrs. Ningyuan Hou to protect you."
"Know."
Fu Chenan: ...He was full of words and didn't know what to say. In the end, he just said that Xiao Yingchun pulled her into his arms and kissed her hard.
While lips and teeth were locked on each other and panting, Xiao Yingchun was a little confused: Fu Chenan's trigger point was a bit strange.
Didn't you say anything ambiguous just now?
Why did Fu Chenan suddenly become so energetic?
After Fu Chenan kissed her hard, he held Xiao Yingchun in his arms: "Why don't you go? I don't trust you."
"It's easy to capture Duke Min. You don't have to go to danger yourself."
Xiao Yingchun couldn't laugh or cry: Did he suddenly feel that he was in danger and was too worried, so he kissed her suddenly?
“It’s just a banquet, you can’t eat me?”
"Besides, can't I still come back here at any time? It's just a matter of thought. Who can stop me?"
Fu Chen'an: Rationally, that's true, but emotionally he's just not practical.
After a kiss, I felt much better...
In the morning of the next day, the courtiers who came to court were shocked: all the windows in the Jinluan Palace had been replaced!
Not only crystal clear, but also windproof and heat-insulating!
As soon as they entered the Jinluan Palace, they immediately felt a warm breeze blowing against their faces! A minister exclaimed: "Why is the earth dragon burning so hot today?"
The eunuch explained with a smile: "My lords, today the earth dragon is cooked in the same way as before, without adding more charcoal."
"It's just because the windows have been replaced, so it's even warmer. If you adults feel it's too hot, I'll ask the people below to remove some more charcoal."
When the ministers heard this, they were all surprised. They said they could remove some charcoal and went to look at the windows carefully.
You don’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it: from the inside, this window seems to be completely unobstructed! Clear as day!
Some people touched it with their hands, others tapped their fingers to knock it, and some people touched the inside and then ran out to touch the outside.
"The temperature inside this glass is different from the temperature outside! It's hot inside and cold outside!"
"Really? Let me see..."
When Emperor Tianwu came over quietly, he found that the ministers were studying the windows, and he smiled with satisfaction.
He understood what his daughter-in-law meant after thinking about it last night.
It is to let the ministers see the cost of furnishings in the palace, and then be more willing to buy the goods she supplies.
Fu Zhonghai drew inferences from one instance and came here quietly this morning so as not to let anyone know.
Sure enough, all the civil and military officials in the dynasty were looking at the glass.
Someone looked at the glass and turned around to talk to the minister next to him. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed someone sitting on the dragon chair!
The man was so frightened that he knelt down: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."
The words woke everyone up, and everyone knelt down one after another. There was a large row of people kneeling under the window, and they were kneeling in a mess.
Fu Zhonghai was in a good mood and waved his hands to let everyone stand up: "It's understandable that you are curious about this."
"My palace has also been replaced with these glazed windows. It was very hot last night, so I asked people to remove half of the charcoal to make it better."
All civil and military officials were shocked when they heard this!
What?
Can you save half of the firewood? !
That’s not a small amount of money!
A basket of fine silver charcoal costs more than ten taels of silver!
The civil and military officials were all excited, and they were all thinking about it. After the court, they would send people to Liulifang to ask if it was not too expensive, we would also replace the windows!
After the court was over, Fu Zhonghai called six ministers to go to the imperial study.
The six ministers were still looking at the new windows that made the imperial study much brighter. Lu Daban waved, and several eunuchs immediately brought a few glasses with tea in them.
Emperor Tianwu, who was above, also had a cup in his hand, which was exactly the same as theirs.
Emperor Tianwu picked up the teacup: "My dear friends, you have had a hard day today. Please sit down first, drink some tea, and moisten your throat..."
The six ministers were flattered and hurriedly kowtowed to express their gratitude. Then they shakily sat down on the temporary chairs provided for them and took a sip of tea from the coffee table next to them.
Emperor Tianwu glanced at the ministers with a smile: "How does this tea taste?"
Several ministers knelt down and saluted again, full of praise.
“Tastes great!”
“Long in the mouth!”
"There is a faint fragrance of orchid and tea between the lips and teeth. This tea is good..."
Emperor Tianwu nodded slightly: "This is such a good tea. It is for tasting and for rewarding."
"This glass cup is a filial gift from the prince. I specially asked people to use this glass cup to make tea for you all, so that I can experience the benefits of making tea in a glass cup with you..."
After the spokesperson's advertisement was completed, Emperor Tianwu changed the topic and talked about government affairs.
While several ministers were responding, they were thinking in their hearts: Does your Majesty want everyone to go to Liulicang to buy colored glaze cups?
Then I thought about the fact that His Majesty the Emperor came quietly this morning and showed off the glazed windows...
The imperial treasury is empty, and Liulicong is also opened by the imperial court. If more glass is sold, the treasury will have money!
Your Majesty, for the sake of having money for the national treasury, you really don’t have any shame!
That must be the case!
But His Majesty has made it clear that he should be wiser and buy more colored glaze to take home.
It would be great to use this glazed window in the study room at home. The study room can be much brighter...
