On the golden card, a huge bronze cauldron is looming, showing the weight and precipitation of history.

I really didn’t expect to draw this card...
Yu cast Jiuding to control Jiuzhou.
Jiuding is not only a symbol of imperial power, but also a symbol of China's nine states.
Looking at the four seal characters with gold hooks and silver strokes on the card, Zhao Yu's eyes showed a rare look of nostalgia.
However, the cost of casting this tripod is too high. One tripod costs five million taels of silver, plus five years of time. It also requires the participation of famous craftsmen.
Not to mention the money and time consumed, Zhao Yu, the famous craftsman needed to cast the tripod, now has no clue.
The craftsmen in the Ministry of Works Supervision can only be regarded as great craftsmen, and they are still far behind the famous craftsmen in the world.
Zhao Yu glanced at Gao Lishi, who was standing not far away, and suddenly thought of the Mo family that Gao Lishi had told him a few days ago.
Among the hundreds of schools of thought, only the Mohist family has the strongest practical ability. They may have clues about famous craftsmen.
It seems that there will be one more task for Shi'a.
After washing up, Zhao Yu, accompanied by Gao Lishi, walked out of Funing Hall, boarded the imperial chariot, and went straight to Tai Chi Hall.
Not long after, Gao Lishi's iconic voice sounded.
"Your Majesty has a decree, declare it, and all civil and military officials will enter the palace!"
Upon hearing this, the civil and military officials who had been waiting outside the palace gate walked into the spacious Tai Chi Palace one by one according to their respective ranks.
"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor!"
After the tsunami-like sound of worship, Zhao Yu's faint voice sounded.
"My lords, please forgive me and stay on your own terms!"
"Long live thanks!"
All the civil and military officials thanked him and stood up.
Zhao Yu sat on the dragon chair, glanced at the empty seat in the front, and felt a little relaxed.
It's really great that King Taihe is not in the palace.
"If you have something to do, start the show, if nothing happens, leave the court!"
Gao Lishi's voice sounded again.
There was silence in the Taiji Hall for a moment, then a courtier walked out of the queue, held a wat and bowed deeply to Zhao Yu who was sitting on the dragon chair, and said:
"Your Majesty, I have a script to start with!"
"Zhang Qing, please speak."
Zhao Yu looked down at Zuo Shilang Zhou Rui, who was temporarily acting as the Minister of Household Affairs, and nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty, in about six days, the Duzhi Department will, in accordance with the usual practice, begin to prepare for this year's year-end performance evaluation of the various governments and the treasury expenditure budget for the coming year. Your Majesty is also requested to give instructions on whether the revenue and expenditure for the coming year should be within the means of income or based on the amount. enter?"
In inheriting the Shangji system from the former Han Dynasty, the State of Chu changed the Shangji Department into the Duzhi Department and placed it under the control of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The annual performance appraisal at the end of the year is compiled by the branch office and overseen by the Supervisory Yuan.
According to the Chu system, the data compilation of each county and government for the annual year-end assessment must be completed before October 15th. From October 16th to 20th, led by the Prime Minister, coordinated by the Minister of Household Affairs and the Censor Zhongcheng of the Supervisory Yuan, convened Relevant officials from various ministries jointly conduct assessments in each prefecture and county based on annual changes in household registration, taxation, land reclamation, money and grain, thieves, and prison litigation. Increase or decrease rewards and punishments, and determine the assessment indicators for the next year.
Finally, the prime minister submitted this year's assessment results and next year's assessment indicators to the emperor, who approved them and issued an edict for implementation.
"Although the Jin invaders went south this year, the people suffered from floods in summer and autumn. We will continue to follow the usual practice of living within our means and rest with the people."
Zhao Yu pondered for a moment and finally said.
"Your Majesty has mercy!"
In the Tai Chi Hall, all the civil and military officials bowed together.
"Cao Qing."
Zhao Yu moved his eyes to Cao Huan, the Minister of Rites in the team.
"Your Majesty, I am here."
Cao Huan walked out of the queue holding a scepter.
"The Ministry of Rites has chosen an auspicious day in the past few days, and I will accept Huang Zixin as the imperial concubine with the gift of the queen." Zhao Yu paused, glanced at Huang Wenbo in the queue, gritted his teeth, and continued, "But this is not about marrying the queen after all. , coupled with the current tightness of the national treasury, all required expenses have been reduced by half.”
In other words, although Huang Zixin is still married as a queen, the size and cost of the wedding will be reduced by half.
This was the only way Zhao Yu came up with after thinking for a long time.
In this way, while satisfying the vanity of the Huang family, it can indirectly show the world that Zhao Yu is a concubine, not a wife.
Even if she is an imperial concubine, she is still a concubine.
Huang Wenbo, who was standing in the queue, was shocked and angry when he heard this.
Without waiting for Cao Huan to nod in agreement, he went straight out of the queue and said loudly:
"I cannot agree with your Majesty's move."
Looking at the tall figure below, behind the crown made of pearls and jade, Zhao Yu's eyes were dim and uncertain, and he said quietly:
"Marquis De'an has no objections, but it doesn't matter."
Huang Wenbo was very anxious and subconsciously said:
"How can your majesty be inferior to my brother's daughter?"
"Why?"
Zhao Yu's eyes gradually narrowed and he said coldly:
"Marquis De'an, I thought that King Taihe was the pillar of the country, so I accepted his daughter as the imperial concubine. I also considered that simply accepting a concubine would not be enough to show the merits of King Taihe, so I welcomed his daughter into the palace with the courtesy of a queen."
Speaking of this, Zhao Yu's voice gradually brought a hint of anger.
"But the concubine is the concubine, and the empress is the empress, and they cannot be confused. In addition, the national treasury is tight, and the people of Lingchuan have been affected by the disaster, and they still cannot have a meal. How can I use the wedding as an excuse to be extravagant and wasteful? I will reduce the size of the wedding. Go some, just for this reason. I say this, I wonder if Marquis De'an understands?"
After saying that, Zhao Yu patted the armrest and said:
"If Marquis De'an still doesn't understand, you can go to the Hanlin Academy and ask many bachelors to see if there are any emperors who accepted concubines with the gift of a queen since the Han Dynasty?!"
"There is no rule without rules. What your Majesty said is true." At this moment, Wu Yizhi came out and bowed and said, "Marquis De'an is just concerned about chaos. Please forgive me."
Wu Yizhi said while winking wildly at Huang Wenbo.
Although Huang Wenbo was angry, he also knew that there must be a reason why Wu Yizhi came forward at this time, so he had no choice but to break the silver teeth and swallow them.
"Your Majesty, I have spoken out of disbelief. Your Majesty, please punish me for my crime."
Looking at the subdued Huang Wenbo, Zhao Yu understood that it was time to give up.
"For the sake of King Taihe, I will spare you this one time. Please step back."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
After Huang Wenbo thanked him angrily, he returned to the queue, but his face was unusually gloomy.
