I really don’t know how the Ning family cultivated such a porcelain cornucopia.
Every time he thought that what Ning Wuhuang did was unprecedented, every time he would break through the limits of other people's knowledge and give him new surprises.
"It's just a sixth-grade imperial merchant. I really wronged him. If he had passed the first grade in the subject before... no, even if he was just a candidate, I would make an exception and promote him to the right minister of the Ministry of Industry. Based on his achievements, as well as the current court officials They want to curry favor with him, and no one will object.”
Zhou Qian's words shocked Zhou Jingxian.
The right minister of the Ministry of Industry is a senior official of the fourth rank.
Not to mention that senior officials in the capital are everywhere.
Those who are above the fifth rank can see His Majesty every day and turn a deaf ear to them. The fourth rank is the starting point for becoming a third-rank official.
There is no one like Mr. Ning who has become a sixth-rank imperial merchant at the age of sixteen. If he really becomes the fourth-rank right minister of the Ministry of Industry, he will probably never come after him.
"Grandpa Huang, Mr. Ning is originally an imperial businessman. These businesses can completely allow Mr. Ning to connect with the Ministry of Works. Let him first familiarize himself with the procedures of the Ministry of Works."
Zhou Jingxian was actually very excited about the proposal just now!
Except that she felt that Mr. Ning was more capable than those ministers in the court who only knew how to argue but did not do anything practical.
The most important thing is... Uncle Shen insisted on meeting Mr. Ning last time, which made her feel that Mr. Ning should have a more respectable identity.
This way.
Only then can we have more say in front of the Shen family.
This is her selfishness.
She knew how much Youchu felt about Mr. Ning, and no matter whether their affairs succeeded or not, she did not want Mr. Ning to be looked down upon by the Shen family.
"Well, it's impossible for the Ning family to become an imperial merchant and give up all the profits to me, and I still want to keep a dime. Furthermore, when it comes to selling things, Ning Aiqing is several times better than everyone I know. Let him contact the engineering department and be responsible for selling the heaters and the Liuli matter. If you don’t understand anything, ask him to help you with advice and don’t talk to him."
Afraid that the granddaughter would not understand the profound meaning of his words, Zhou Qian added another sentence.
"Ning Aiqing does not treat you as an outsider, and you should not treat Ning Aiqing as an outsider. If you two help each other, my great prosperity will last forever."
ah?
Zhou Jingxian didn't understand why Grandpa Huang suddenly gave herself such a high hat.
Moreover.
Although she doesn't read those history books, she also knows that no dynasty in history can last forever.
It is not easy for her to be able to help Grandpa Huang and her father take good care of Daxing's generation during her lifetime.
And pointing at her for eternity... Grandpa Huang's ambition seems to have grown with age?
Seeing her squinting eyes and thoughtful expression, Zhou Qian asked slightly excitedly: "Girl Jingxian, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, Grandpa Huang, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Mr. Ning. As long as he has any novel ideas, as long as they are beneficial to Daxing, I will definitely pay attention to them, and then tell Grandpa Huang to let him contribute to Daxing. .”
According to her observation, there was no need for her to do this step at all.
Mr. Ning has such a consciousness.
But her answer obviously did not satisfy Zhou Qian.
Zhou Qian looked at his granddaughter who was not yet enlightened, and thought that Shen Tingjun had already gone to meet his "future son-in-law" in person. He hated iron and wanted to directly expose what he had not pointed out in public last time.
The guard's voice sounded outside the door.
"Your Majesty, Ning Huangshang asked Long Wei to submit a memorial, saying it was an urgent matter."
As soon as these words came out.
Zhou Qian looked at Zhou Jingxian in confusion.
Eyes facing each other.
Both grandfather and grandson saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Zhou Jingxian said hurriedly: "Grandpa Huang, if Mr. Ning has anything to add, it's because I left in a hurry."
"No problem, just present the memorial."
Zhou Gan waved.
Su Peiyuan immediately stepped forward and presented the memorial.
Although he knew in his heart that this should be a matter of replenishing the heating, as this was Ning Wushu's first time, Zhou Qian was still prepared to seriously approve it.
Zhou Qian took the memorial and picked up the ink pen.
Opening the booklet and seeing the familiar and elegant Xingkai font, Zhou Qian couldn't help but feel happy.
"Ning Aiqing's handwriting is so beautiful."
"Really? My granddaughter can't appreciate this."
Zhou Jingxian was more curious about what Mr. Ning had to add.
But she thought about the rules in this palace and still didn't poke her head to check.
Anyway, Grandpa Huang will tell her soon.
Just thinking about it.
Snapped!
But he saw Grandpa Huang standing up with a slap on the table, causing the tea on the low table to spill out.
Zhou Jingxian was startled, and quickly picked up the manuscript papers drawn by Mr. Ning, then looked at her face with anger...Eh? Grandpa Huang's face was flushed and his eyes were smiling. It didn't look like he was angry, but he seemed extremely happy.
"Ning Aiqing is really a peerless genius! Hahaha! With Ning Aiqing here, why worry about not having enough private treasury! Hahaha!"
Zhou Qian's energetic laughter almost knocked off the roof of the palace.
In this situation, although Su Peiyuan didn't know what was written in the memorial, he still knelt down and congratulated.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! You are so happy to have such a talented person! Great success will surely come!"
"You old boy has some pretty words. Okay, get up and go to the Ministry of Works to pick out a pair of glass ornaments you like."
When Su Peiyuan heard about this reward, he thanked him profusely.
As for Zhou Qian, his laughter gradually subsided and he handed the memorial to Zhou Jingxian. He stared kindly at his granddaughter, who still had a confused look on her face, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
"Girl Jingxian, you are truly my lucky star."
"..."
Grandpa Huang, don’t suddenly say so...so...
Zhou Jingxian couldn't describe how she felt now. She simply lowered her head and glanced at the contents of the memorial.
After seeing it clearly, I finally understood where Grandpa Huang’s joy came from.
Mr. Ning is really amazing!
This solves the problem at once, as more and more colored glaze is fired, and goods may be hoarded, resulting in lower and lower prices. It also unlocks the limitations of colored glaze, which is no longer just used for ornaments, but can also be used in daily life.
Glazed windows!
"Grandpa Huang, I think that after using the glazed window in the royal study, lighting the lamp every day can be extended by an hour. It is also very good for your eyes. You don't have to wait until Mr. Ning recovers from his injury. I will take care of it. .”
"good!"
Zhou Qian agreed without hesitation.
There was no longer any doubt about the filial piety of this granddaughter who satisfied him.
He just regrets it.
Why couldn't I see Jingxian's ability and filial piety before?
Even if Ning Wuyan was not there, with Jingxian's sincerity, he would never neglect her.
nature.
If girl Jingxian can get Ning Wuhuang's help and let Ning Wuhuang become a county horse, even if the future emperor is incompetent, with the two of them here, it will not be a problem to rejuvenate the country and prosper for another hundred years!
"Come here, declare the decree!"
Not long after the imperial edict of the Ning family to cooperate with the subsequent sale of colored glaze made by the Ministry of Industry and related emerging industries reached Princess Xian's mansion.
The whole capital knew the news.
There are more people who want to send greetings to Ning Wuhou.
Many people were waiting for the Ning family to take the medicine, and they drank the soup. The whole capital was filled with an atmosphere of anticipation.
on the contrary.
In the Xiyi Pavilion, there was a gloomy atmosphere.
Descartes sent the envoy back to the royal court. Due to the death of the imperial master, the plan to eradicate Ning Wuhuang, the main force of the Daxing Talents, failed. At this time, it happened that the poet Xu Jidao was worried about Ning Wuhuang's injury. , also decided to participate in the competition next time.
The chances of winning for the countries in the Western Regions have been greatly reduced.
At this time, there were already many small and small countries in the Xiyi Pavilion, ready to show their goodwill to Daxing.
The alliance of the Western Region countries seems to be disintegrating in a matter of seconds.
