"I can't hide anything from Aiqing!"
Xuanzong laughed loudly and said: "I will let Wang Yuanwai explain Ai Qing's doubts."
"Yes, the grass people obey!"
Under the gaze of the courtiers in the hall, Wang Yuanbao spoke eloquently: "Since the Tang Dynasty and foreign countries traded, the technology of glass firing has been improving, but it is still not comparable to the glassware brought by Persian merchants from outside the region."
"The ten princesses needed crystal clear glass vessels to develop malaria medicine, but the skills of the Chang'an city's glass masters could not meet the quality of the glass needed by the little princess to make the medicine. The princess rummaged through the Hongwen Museum's collection of books on glass craftsmanship. , changed the recipe for refining colored glaze, and gave the recipe to the common people to help bake it."
The courtiers were shocked!
The recipe for making glassware was actually given by the tenth princess?
But, does this have anything to do with disaster relief?
When everyone was puzzled, Wang Yuanbao revealed the answer: "When the princess gave the prescription to the grassroots, she made an agreement that if a crystal clear glassware is fired, 50% of the sales of the glassware will belong to the state treasury."
The whole hall was in an uproar!
After a long detour, I finally learned the connection between colored glassware and disaster relief.
Only then did the courtiers find out that Wang Yuanbao presented disaster relief strategies and brought glassware to the palace. He was afraid that His Majesty had already known about this.
If the court is stable, the world will be stable.
In order to calm people's hearts, they offered glass vessels to the court to provide disaster relief.
Although the sale of glazed ware can bring huge profits, the drought in Kanto seems to be unable to wait for the money gained from the sale of glazed ware.
As if to answer the doubts of the courtiers, Wang Yuanbao knelt down solemnly: "As citizens of the Tang Dynasty, the common people receive blessings from His Majesty, and all the money they receive comes from the people."
“Take it from the people, use it for the people.”
Wang Yuanbao said in a sonorous voice: "I am willing to spend all the royal family has to advance money to purchase disaster relief grain, as well as to dig wells and build canals in the arid areas of Guanzhong."
Wang Yuanbao meant to use all the financial resources of the royal family to first meet the court's disaster relief needs, and then wait for the glassware to be sold, and then use the silver to fill the money hole in the palace.
This is a lot of money!
It is even possible to empty the entire palace.
How could a businessman have such courage when the country was in crisis?
Yao Chong only felt that the tea he just drank made him more refreshed. Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together, and people who are close to the little princess, even if they are low-status businessmen, are righteous businessmen.
Yao Chong was deeply shocked: "I would like to thank Wang Yuanwai for his righteous deeds on behalf of the people in Guanzhong!"
"The common people are terrified, but they are doing their best."
How dare Wang Yuanbao accept Yao Chong's gift?
When he returned the gift to Yao Chong, he sighed: "At such a young age, the ten princesses have already developed the method of vaccination to prevent smallpox, and they have also devoted themselves to developing malaria medicine to relieve the sufferings of the people. With the ten princesses as examples, the common people were deeply moved, but they just did a This is what the people of the Tang Dynasty should do."
Wang Yuanbao prostrated on the ground: "Your Majesty, as a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, we hope that the Tang Dynasty will be prosperous and prosperous for thousands of generations!"
Guanzhong disaster relief is a huge expense, but a businessman is willing to spend all his money to support the court's disaster relief?
Xuanzong was greatly shocked!
His Xiao Shi not only solved the Guanzhong disaster relief issue, but also influenced profit-seeking businessmen, allowing the richest man in the capital to achieve this.
"Wang Yuanwai is truly a generation of righteous businessmen, I am very pleased with him!"
Xuanzong not only liked the chubby Wang Yuanbao, but also found it pleasing to the eyes of the third prince who introduced Wang Yuanbao into the court.
He sat on the royal chair and looked at the third prince kindly, which made the prince, who had been at a disadvantage in disaster relief, look bad.
Jiang Jiao was very close to where the prince was standing. Seeing the prince's expression, he stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, is the recipe for making glazed pottery really given by the little princess?"
Jiang Shidu, who had been hiding among the courtiers, was angry!
He was originally shocked by the fact that the glassware presented by Wang Yuanbao was the recipe given by Li Sixu, so he just said that the tenth princess was extremely talented in general making.
Although the princess refused to be his apprentice several times, saying that she was not good at making generals, the fact was that the princess had written down the recipe for making colored glaze ware.
It is even comparable to the colored glaze wares brought to Chang'an by Persian merchants.
No!
What's more!
There are still people who question the little princess’s talent in general work?
Jiang Shidu temporarily forgot about the high power of the Duke of Chu, and said angrily: "What does the Duke of Chu mean? Is this questioning the prescription given by Her Highness the Princess? Or is he questioning the king's extravagant efforts to support the court in disaster relief? ?”
"In order to develop malaria medicine, the little princess personally participated in the renovation of the secret room of the Taiyuan Hospital. She also asked the king to help summon the glaze masters to bake such ingenious glaze. She even gave away the prescription without collecting any money for herself. Wang Yuanwai agreed that 50% of the sales of the glazed wares would belong to the national treasury."
Jiang Shidu was aggressive: "Who can do such a righteous act?"
"The Duke of Chu is in a high position, but he doesn't want to provide suggestions for the court's disaster relief, but he is eager to question the little princess who has done so many things. Isn't it chilling the hearts of meritorious people in the world?"
Jiang Shidu said impassionedly: "I will make it clear in the court today that the little princess is extremely talented at making a sword. I want to teach the princess what I have learned throughout my life, but the princess refuses."
"Who wants to question the fact that the princess has nothing to do with me?"
Jiang Shidu was full of momentum and snorted coldly: "But if someone says that the princess can't write the recipe for firing colored glaze, then I will think that he is ignorant and want to break up with him."
Jiang Jiao: "..."
I was speechless for a moment!
Do you think this is enough?
Yao Chong also looked at him with keen eyes: "Questioning the good deeds of the ten princesses, does the Duke of Chu know that the recipe for making colored glaze was not given by the ten princesses? Is it someone else? Or does he think that what Wang Yuanwai paid to the court because of the little princess is not true? Gold and silver?”
Zhang Jiazhen, who had recently been promoted to the position of Vice Minister of Zhongshu, had long felt that Jiang Jiao was too powerful and had won Xuanzong's heart, which was a bit of a hindrance.
He also looked at Jiang Jiao with a suspicious look on his face: "What does the Duke of Chu mean?"
These old men are really not easy to mess with!
Each bone is very hard.
Jiang Jiao thought that he didn't say anything. They ran out one by one to fight for their lives. However, His Majesty respected the veteran minister very much. Whether it was Yao Chong or Jiang Shidu, if one of them was angry, he would not be able to live with it.
Jiang Jiao was defeated and justified himself by saying, "I am just amazed that the ten princesses know how to make a general."
"snort!"
Jiang Shidu said bluntly: "There are many things that the Duke of Chu doesn't know."
Can't afford it!
Jiang Shidu, who never interfered with the political affairs of the court and only built canals, is he crazy?
They are both surnamed Jiang, why are you in such a hurry?
"Yes Yes!"
Jiang Jiao's back was sweating, and he cupped his hands and said, "What Mr. Jiang said is true..."
Li Sixu just asked Wang Yuanbao to appear in the court at the right time, but she didn't know that because of her, there was a storm in the court.
She played with her Emperor Wei brother in Linhua Palace for a while, and then ate the dishes and snacks that Concubine Xian had newly thought out. With her round belly, she carried the bird cage in one hand and the food basket in the other. Linhua Hall.
As soon as I walked to Taiye Lake, I saw a familiar and stubborn figure. He picked up stones and threw them into the lake. The round and thin stones floated on the lake for a few times before falling into the lake and causing a circle. ripple.
