Mu Wanpu said: "I helped Prince Qing paint a painting of the nave...and the prince asked me to do something, but I can't say it."
Prince Ping opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but swallowed it back and nodded: "You can decide for yourself."
Mu Wanpu said: "Dad, the prince is very good...The emperor is different from before! My son thinks you can try not to hide your clumsiness anymore."
Prince Ping nodded slowly, slightly lost in thought.
The two faced each other in silence for a long time before Mu Wanpu withdrew.
After Tang Shijin returned to the palace, he talked to Yan Baiwei.
She was just a little strange. Prince Jing was a very nice person, and Prince Ping, judging from his son, was probably also a good person. Therefore, Emperor Yongxing, the father of Emperor Yuan Sheng, should also be a wise king, so why did this wise king choose him?
What about a fool like Emperor Yuan Sheng?
Yan Baiwei said: "I don't know either. I only heard that the emperor was soft-hearted in his later years and pitied him for his hard life as a boy, so he loved him very much... Besides, he didn't show much love for the Wan family before he ascended the throne. Who knows?
, will this be the case in the future?”
Tang Shijin nodded.
Then she asked: "This Mu Wanpu, I originally thought I could use it, but now it seems that it is more suitable for you to use."
Yan Baiwei said: "I'll talk to Mu Wanpu later. If it's appropriate, I'll put it in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Then I'll return Yuan Langxian to you."
Tang Shijin nodded.
Yuan Langxian is a kid who is really good at writing play scripts, even better than Tao Chengqi. Now he is helping her write, but it is just a help, so it is better to transfer him here to do this exclusively.
Tang Shijin said: "Let's take a look first and then talk."
Mu Wanpu moved quickly.
When everyone heard that Prince Qing invited him to Prince Qing's Mansion, they immediately posted messages to invite him and wanted to know what he was doing.
Mu Wanpu didn't respond at all and hid at home to finish painting the screen for Tang Shijin.
It wasn't until the next day that I made an appointment with a friend.
This friend was also a well-known person in the capital, and he invited many literati to play the song Shui Shui Shang. During the process, Mu Wanpu recited a poem, saying, "The reflection of flowers is exquisite and exquisite in the world."
The friend of this friend was a porcelain enthusiast, who called himself a disciple of Chai Kiln. He loved porcelain very much, so he asked him what kind of porcelain he was talking about.
Mu Wanpu pretended to make a mistake and refused to say anything, but this porcelain idiot was really obsessed and had to ask... So Mu Wanpu had no choice but to tell the truth. He got the reward from Prince Qing's palace.
.
Then the people sitting there, of course, encouraged him in various ways and wanted to take a look.
Mu Wanpu was not polite, so he asked someone to take it and watch it with everyone.
The blue and white flowers are exquisite, not as extravagant and gorgeous as the brocade, but more suitable for the taste of the literati. Especially when you first look at it, it seems "unremarkable", but when you shine it in the light, it turns out that the shadows of the flowers are sparse, and the beauty of the crystal is unprecedented. It is indeed called
The previous sentence is ingenious.
Then the disciples from the Chai Kiln were delighted at the sight and exchanged the treasured Chai Kiln bowl with him for this exquisite blue and white bowl.
The Chai Kiln refers to the imperial kiln of Chai Rong, Emperor Shizong of Zhou Dynasty. It is recorded in "Zhangwu Zhi": "The Chai Kiln is the most expensive and is rare in the world. I heard that it is as green as the sky, as bright as a mirror, as thin as paper, and the sound is
"Like a chime." It is recognized by the world as the crown of all kilns. In the era of Tang Shijin, a fragment of a firewood kiln was a priceless treasure. Now, although it is slightly more, it is still worth tens of thousands of gold.
With such a stir, Qinghua Linglong became famous overnight.
Afterwards, Mu Wanpu sobered up and went to the palace early in the morning to plead guilty and offer the Chai Kiln cup he had obtained. Tang Shijin gave him a set of exquisite blue and white cups, and also gave a set of exquisite blue and white cups to the Chai Kiln disciples, marking the occasion.
A happy ending.
The external story is that Prince Qing heard that Mu Wanpu’s painting of the nave was good, so he came over to ask him to paint the nave. Then after Mu Wanpu saw the bowl, he asked for a reward... Later, because of this, he was exposed in advance.
Prince Qing did not pursue this bowl, but graciously gave him two sets.
How about a win-win situation! How about a good story!!
The literati's strategy is really meticulous and elegant, which is completely different from her style, but more in line with the literati style.
Moreover, the only insider from the beginning to the end was Mu Wanpu. The Chaiyao disciple was completely acting in his true colors. Although confidentiality is not that important in this matter, it is indeed the best result to be able to achieve this.
.
So Tang Shijin first spread this good story to various places, and then waited for a short period of fermentation before selling it.
Then Yan Baiwei also took the time to summon Mu Wanpu, chatted with him for a while, and then placed him in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. At the same time, he also transferred Yuan Langxian to the Finance Pavilion.
The Finance Pavilion has a special advertising and publicity department. Tang Shijin said at the time that it would be better to call it the Advertising Department or Propaganda Department. Wang Shenxing rejected it, and now it is called the Publicity Department. After Yuan Langxian came over, he was directly in charge of the Publicity Department and was appointed fifth grade.
Doctor.
Although there is a Guangyan Department, Tang Shijin does not plan to promote the first product, just like porcelain. After Wanhua Brocade and Blue and White Exquisite, she plans to make Dehua White Porcelain, which is a pure white and smooth porcelain.
Mostly used to make Buddha statues.
But when the time comes, she plans to go public in a low-key manner. She will not do much publicity, nor will she write poems or use stories to open the way. She will just go public step by step.
At present, Yuan Langxian is writing a playbook with merchants as the protagonists to slowly change people's ideas. This is what needs to be done now.
In September, when the first batch of blue and white exquisite goods were sold out, Tang Shijin checked the accounts and found that these two items alone far exceeded the treasury revenue in the previous year.
Yan Baiwei directly showed her off to the emperor.
So in front of the God of Wealth, whether the treasury is empty or not, it doesn’t matter! We will solve it for you in minutes!
When doing business in the Finance Pavilion, she does not compete with the people for profit, does not bully the market, and does not buy or sell by force. The only thing that is different from others is that she does not allow credit... So this is definitely earned based on her own ability, and no one can participate!
Of course, generally speaking, ginseng is not available nowadays.
After "Zi Wei's reincarnation", there was no need to interfere with her in order to find a sense of existence, and she became very quiet.
However, there are also people calling for a talent show.
In the last round of the audition, Yan Baiwei's reason was that the treasury had no money, and the money was used by the Supreme Emperor to build the garden. I am so poor that I can't even eat more than four dishes. Why are you still doing this?
This time someone asked for the draft again, and Yan Baiwei directly spat him back, "Spring floods overflow, earthquakes and droughts, plague locusts, so many major events happen in the world every day, and so many people suffer from hardships. As an official of the imperial court, you
, I read the books of sages in vain, but my eyes are like blindness, and I can only focus on my backyard? Then it is better to simply get my hairpin and stop wearing this official robe!"
The man stopped at that time.
If he says that I have a deep love for Prince Qing and will never care about him in my life... These people will definitely beep, each one is more righteous than the other, but he himself is righteous and upright, these people
I don't even dare to fart.
In Mr. Tang’s words, this is called taking other people’s paths and leaving others with nowhere to go.
In fact, after a few months, the courtiers got to know the new emperor very well.
Yan Baiwei is alert and sharp, but tolerant and understanding. He is not difficult to get along with, but once his bottom line is touched, he is really sharp and merciless.
After the morning court, Yan Baiwei and the cabinet had breakfast together, while sending Kong Feikong to the back... The main purpose was to tell Tang Shijin about today's events and to please him in a subtle way.
As a result, as soon as Kong Feikong went out, he saw Yan San showing his head outside.
Yan San has been with me for a long time. He showed up and explained that this matter can be discussed in front of the cabinet.
Yan Baiwei said: "What's the matter? Come in and tell us!"
Yan San knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, something happened in the Long Live Palace..."
