The next day, Zhang Beichen was woken up by the palace guards early in the morning and went to the pottery workshop.
Before Zhang Beichen arrived, Yan Qingwu had actually asked the craftsmen to try to make porcelain, but because the process was not very clear, errors and defects always occurred.
This time, Zhang Beichen helped them improve their craftsmanship and make better porcelain.
A few days later, in front of King Yan's palace.
Guo Guang, Li Fu, Qing Bai and other important ministers of the Yan State were waiting in front of the palace. Although they all made mistakes in the later stages of simulating time and space, at least for now, they are still important figures in the Yan State and are still among Yan Qingwu's right-hand men. Go-getter.
"Why is the king interested in going to see the pottery today? Why do you want to call us all?" Qing Bai asked Li Fu.
"I don't know either. Maybe the king has a deeper meaning!" Li Fu couldn't guess what Yan Qingwu was thinking.
Yesterday, after Yan Qingwu appointed Zhang Beichen as prime minister, the officials were discussing in private.
Zhang Beichen was named prime minister in several other countries and made some contributions to some extent, but in Yan State, he seemed to have done nothing.
Naturally, it was impossible for Yan Qingwu to reveal to the ministers about An Guojun that the real An Guojun was dead and the current one was a fake, so he surrendered to King Yan.
When Yan Qingwu brought his ministers to the pottery workshop, Zhang Beichen had been here for a long time.
"Your Majesty." Zhang Beichen greeted Yan Qingwu, and Yan Qingwu nodded slightly.
Li Fu and others all looked at Zhang Beichen and thought, "Why is Zhang Beichen in the pottery workshop?"
They were quick-thinking and immediately thought of many things. For example, the State of Yan wanted to do pottery business with the State of Qin, and the State of Qin promised huge profits. Why did the King of Yan behave so generously?
"Prime Minister, how is your porcelain going?" Yan Qingwu asked.
"There are already several finished products," Zhang Beichen said.
"Everyone, the Prime Minister has given us a great gift from the State of Yan. You and I will watch it together!" Yan Qingwu said.
"Oh, I have to take a closer look, old minister, to see what kind of gift it is!" Guo Guang felt a little confused.
He was the number one warrior in the Yan Kingdom, Minister Tuogu, but he found that Yan Qingwu had been hiding things from him about Zhang Beichen, which made him somewhat dissatisfied.
"Everyone, please take a look!" Zhang Beichen asked someone to bring over the fired porcelain.
There are vases, teacups, dishes, and porcelain works of art.
These porcelains are available in cyan, white and bluish white. Their surfaces were smooth and as beautiful as jade. The moment several courtiers saw it, they were attracted to it.
At this time, even the princes and ministers generally used ugly-looking pottery. In comparison, porcelain was simply a creation of God!
"What kind of pottery is this? It's so gorgeous!" Li Fu marveled and stepped forward to look at it.
"Is this pottery?" Guo Guang also stepped forward to look at it, touched it with his hands, and said with emotion: "It's cold and smooth. I have never seen such beautiful pottery in my whole life!"
"Yes, is this made of jade?" Qing Bai asked.
Zhang Beichen smiled and said: "These are a type of pottery, but I gave it a new name, called porcelain!"
"The smooth layer on its surface is porcelain! You see, there are celadon, white porcelain, blue and white porcelain, etc. Depending on the firing process, various patterns and even patterns can be made on the surface! It is extremely beautiful! "
Yan Qingwu couldn't help but pick up a porcelain Feiyan and play with it. She said to the ministers: "Everyone, if such porcelain is sold in the market, will you buy it?"
"Of course!" Li Fu said directly, "Such a thing is pleasing to the eye just by putting it at home. If the price is right, I am willing to replace all the pottery at home with this kind of porcelain!"
"Same goes for me!" Guo Guang agreed.
"Although I don't care much about these things, I think my relatives at home will definitely like them." Qing Bai said, "If it is used as a gift, my relatives and friends will also be happy."
At this point, several people already understood Yan Qingwu's intention.
Li Fu said in surprise: "Is this a great gift from the Prime Minister to our country of Yan?"
"The production and trade of pottery in our country of Yan is extremely prosperous. Pottery alone can bring a large amount of income to the country of Yan every year. If you bake porcelain, you can even make mountains of gold and silver!"
"I see, the king is indeed far-sighted!" Guo Guang said with emotion, "I am still old, and I never thought that there would be such a treasure. I would like to thank Prime Minister Zhang!"
He thanked Zhang Beichen.
At this time, the Yan State was weak and its ministers were relatively united.
Qing Bai also said: "For Prime Minister Zhang to be able to bring such a great gift to Yan State, his contribution is comparable to that of conquering ten cities!"
Zhang Beichen said humbly: "You guys, this is what a minister should do."
Yan Qingwu was extremely happy when she saw that these porcelains had conquered these ministers. Since they all like it, it means other people will also like it.
"These porcelains were just fired and were given to a few of them." Zhang Beichen said, "But if you want them in the future, you have to spend real money to buy them!"
"Give it to us. I'll thank the Prime Minister first!" Li Fu was not polite and accepted it directly. He knew very well that King Yan brought them here today not only to alleviate their dissatisfaction, but also to let them help promote porcelain.
If you want porcelain to be popular all over the world, you need celebrities to take the lead in promoting it.
If the King of Yan, the Prime Minister, the General, and the Tutor all pursue things, the ministers and nobles below will naturally pursue them as well.
The appearance of porcelain is exquisite, and it is not difficult to promote it to other countries.
…
Next, Yan Qingwu personally acted as the "image spokesperson", displayed the porcelain fired by Zhang Beichen in the court hall, and also requested that large porcelain vases and porcelain carvings be placed on the palace as decoration.
When the courtiers saw that such a thing was produced in Yan State, the king couldn't put it down. Naturally, they hurriedly asked where they could buy porcelain.
For a time, the nobles and wealthy people in Jicheng were discussing porcelain. Because there are still few workshops that master the technology, celebrities are proud to have one or two pieces of porcelain in their homes.
For better publicity, King Yan also specially had porcelain fired and given to other queens as advertisements.
The effect has not been shown yet, but judging from the experience of simulating time and space, porcelain will soon become popular all over the world and become one of the economic pillars of Yan State!
…
Zhang Beichen's affairs in Yan State were basically over. As for sending people to negotiate with the Xiongnu and Donghu, Yan Qingwu had other plans.
Moreover, it is still several years before Hao Ziyi reaches adulthood, and Zhang Beichen is not in a hurry to go to Donghu.
Soon, it was time to return home.
In the court hall, Zhang Beichen said goodbye to Yan Qingwu: "Your Majesty, my mission has been completed and I will return to Qin soon. I came here to say goodbye."
Yan Qingwu was reluctant to give up, but Ying Yinren had urged her several times in the chat channel.
She had no choice but to say: "These days, the Prime Minister is busy. If he is free, the Prime Minister will come to Yan Kingdom at any time. This position of Prime Minister will always be reserved for you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission!"
Zhang Beichen was about to leave, and the officials of Yan State also breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Beichen participated in the court meetings these days, and the various views and policies he proposed, whether in terms of court affairs, economy, agriculture, military, etc., steadily suppressed them. This put them under great pressure. They were far behind others!
At the beginning, some ministers thought that Zhang Beichen was just a false name, but these days they discovered that it is no wonder that Zhang Beichen can be the seal of the Five Kingdoms. If they were monarchs, they would not be able to help but want to use Zhang Beichen.
…
In the palace of King Yan, Yan Qingwu is practicing martial arts in the palace.
Grand Tutor Guo Guang asked: "Your Majesty, Zhang Beichen will leave for Qin today, won't your Majesty go see him off?"
Yan Qingwu said: "He doesn't want to stay in Yan country, why send him away?"
Guo Guang nodded, "It's the same reason."
Yan Qingwu said: "Master, I plan to stay in seclusion for a few days and will not go to court for a few days. Master, please handle the political affairs on my behalf."
Guo Guang has long been used to this kind of thing, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will leave everything to my old minister."
…
Outside Jicheng, Zhang Beichen thought that Yan Qingwu was coming to see her off, but he didn't find her figure.
Instead, Li Fu, Qing Bai and other officials of the Yan Kingdom came to see him off.
"Prime Minister Zhang, let's have a good drink next time we come to Yan State!" Qing Bai shouted.
"Definitely, definitely!" Zhang Beichen clasped his fists as his car gradually drove away.
Several people who saw him off were also surprised: "The king values Zhang Beichen so much, why didn't he come when he was leaving?"
Li Fu said: "Maybe it's because I'm afraid of adding sadness."
…
Zhang Beichen was also a little disappointed. Although Yan Qingwu was unforgiving, his personality was very cute. Their relationship had also improved these days. Unexpectedly, when they left, Yan Qingwu hid.
"Hey." Zhang Beichen sighed softly.
At this moment, a voice came into his ears, "Why are you sighing? Are you disappointed that I didn't come to see you off?"
Zhang Beichen looked again and saw Yan Qingwu getting into the carriage at some point!
She also quickly set up a barrier so that neither the messenger nor the coachman outside could detect it.
"Your Majesty is so elusive!" Zhang Beichen sighed again and joked: "Is King Yan planning to return to Qin with me?"
"That's great. I think King Qin will be very happy and reward you as a maid to me!"
"You are dreaming!" Yan Qingwu hummed, "I just thought that the territory is not safe, so I came to check. In case something happens to you and cause a dispute between the two countries."
"So that's it." Zhang Beichen said with a smile, "I thought the king was reluctant to leave me, so I came to see him off."
"Who can't bear to leave you!" Yan Qingwu held her head high, "Don't think too highly of yourself!"
"I'm taller than you." Zhang Beichen stretched out his hand and could directly touch Yan Qingwu's head.
"Damn it!" Yan Qingwu shouted, but did not resist at all.
Zhang Beichen simply hugged her. The two of them were so close that they could feel each other's warmth.
Yan Qingwu didn't say anything. It wasn't until this moment that she realized that she really couldn't bear it.
This time Zhang Beichen left, and he didn't know when he would come to Yan State next time.
…
Yan Qingwu sent Zhang Beichen all the way to the border of Yan State. Next, Zhang Beichen will pass through Zhao State, South Korea and Wei State and return to Qin State.
When they arrived at the border, Yan Qingwu suddenly felt reluctant and hugged Zhang Beichen tightly without saying a word.
Zhang Beichen gently stroked her head and comforted her: "We will definitely meet again. By then, I hope Yan Kingdom will have undergone earth-shaking changes!"
Yan Qingwu raised her head, her eyes sparkling, and said: "I will definitely make the Yan Kingdom stronger, just like in the simulation. Just wait and see! When the time comes, you can make an agreement with Ying Yin and directly Surrender to me, so as not to harm your peace!"
"Hahaha, I wish you all the best!" Zhang Beichen said with a smile.
The two were about to separate when the sound of horse hooves suddenly came.
Zhang Beichen looked out of the carriage and saw a group of well-equipped cavalry heading this way.
"Who's in front?" The missionary became alert.
The cavalry general shouted: "We are Zhao cavalry, and we are ordered to protect the Prime Minister when he passes!"
After confirming the military talisman, Zhang Beichen felt relieved.
"Remember to eat more... Only then will you develop well!" Zhang Beichen said a few words in Yan Qingwu's ear, which made Yan Qingwu's face turn red and she scolded: "Zhang Beichen, you are seeking death!"
Zhang Beichen continued to move forward with the Zhao cavalry, and Yan Qingwu disappeared.
"Prime Minister!" The cavalry general found Zhang Beichen and said, "We have arranged a car for the Prime Minister. Please ride on it."
Zhang Ben took a look and found that Zhao Guo's car was much better than his own. It was big and spacious. Why not?
He directly changed his carriage. Unexpectedly, as soon as he was about to get on his carriage, he found that the cavalry was divided into two teams, and the other Qin envoys were assigned to another team.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Beichen asked suspiciously.
Who knew that the cavalry general who had been respectful to him just now ignored him and led his men away directly.
There was only a luxurious chariot left, and in front of it were four good horses. They seemed to have some spiritual awareness and knew the direction without the driver driving them.
Zhang Beichen was about to chase after him when he heard a cold and queenly voice coming from inside the car: "There's no need to chase after him, it was arranged by Gu."
Zhang Beichen's eyes lit up when he heard the sound, and he quickly opened the curtain of the car!
The first thing that catches the eye is a pair of long legs, white, long and thin! One leg is folded on top of the other, and the jade feet are lightly hooked. What hooks is not the shoes, but the hearts!
Then she is wearing a fiery red cheongsam, with a hot figure, delicate appearance, mature and charming face. This familiar face is naturally King Zhao - Zhao Yun!
"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Zhang Beichen was a little surprised.
Zhao Yun asked back: "What, can't Gu come? Then Yan Qingwu has already sent you to the border. Is there any problem with Gu coming to see you off?"
"Of course it's no problem. It's not too late for me to be happy!" Zhang Beichen hurried over and sat next to her. He could smell a fresh fragrance and the smell of female hormones.
Zhao Yun hummed softly: "I saw you and King Yan reluctant to leave just now, but now you have changed your face. Which one of you is the real one?"
Zhang Beichen smiled and said: "They are all!"
Zhao Yun rolled her eyes and said, "You are so sentimental! Gu should have listened to King Wei's advice and conquered Qin together and captured you. Now there won't be so many things to worry about!"
"That's not necessarily the case." Zhang Beichen said with a smile, "If the king had listened to the king of Wei, the king and I would probably be locked up in the palace of Wei now!"
"That's true." Zhao Yun agreed. With the character of King Wei, he should do such a thing.
