For the royal family, the most important thing is all kinds of rare treasures, even in the collection of the Chengde Emperor, there are a lot of high-grade or top-grade water jade, so when the Chengde Emperor said the ten, his eyes did not blink.

In fact, ten is not enough.

The Great Jin Dynasty had border armies in the south, north and west, and for example, the Pingnan Army in southern Xinjiang had 100,000 people in just one Pingnan army, and this kind of telescope could only really play a role if it was assigned to the people who commanded the battle.

Ten branches, even can only be sent to people of Li Shen's level, and it is impossible to send them to the hands of grassroots generals.

Of course, with the current relationship between the imperial court and southern Xinjiang, this thing will not be sent to the Pingnan army.

After agreeing to the task of "working overtime" with Emperor Chengde, Li Xin withdrew from the apse and returned to the side hall where the hundred officials were entertained, and there were about dozens of low tables in the side hall, and the ministers all knelt next to the table on soft cushions, waiting for wine and food.

The Seventh Prince and the Ninth Princess were already sitting at a low table at the front, and when the Ninth Princess saw Li Xin, her eyes lit up, and she stretched out her hand and beckoned.

Because it is a large public, she is still very reserved, and she has stood up now in Princess Qinghe's mansion.

"Come here."

Since the emperor has discovered his relationship with the Wei Palace, there is no need to hide it, and Li Xin is now the chief of the guard of Princess Qinghe's Mansion, and it is only natural for him to sit with Princess Qinghe.

Of course, he wasn't qualified to sit down.

As a seventh-rank official, he was not even qualified to enter.

However, the two princes and princesses have no opinions, and it is naturally impossible for others to jump out and accuse anything.

Li Xin sat down on the soft couch very honorably.

Ji Lingxiu winked at Li Xin and asked, "Father and emperor didn't shout anyone, not even a few imperial brothers, why did they call you away?" ”

Li Xin glanced at her: "I would have kept it a secret if I knew it, and now Your Majesty knows that I made that object, and I like it very much, let me get some more." ”

Ji Lingxiu grinned: "It's a good thing that the emperor likes it, you can get him more, and the emperor can like you a little more." ”

At this time, the maids and eunuchs in the palace had already begun to serve the dishes, and Li Xin pushed a plate of dishes in front of the ninth princess and gave her a blank look: "It's nothing to do with you, eat yours." ”

The ninth princess glared at Li Xin and feigned anger: "You dare to be disrespectful to this princess!" ”

In fact, Li Xin's attitude towards the prince and the princess is very problematic, ordinary seven-rank officials face this kind of heavenly nobles, not to say that they are sincere and fearful, at least they must be respectful, and although Li Xin still respects His Royal Highness, his attitude is already very casual.

This is because when Li Xin first met the Seven Princes, he met as friends, and later after the Seventh Prince's identity was exposed, the two gradually became a cooperative relationship, so the relationship was basically equal.

Li Xin didn't pay attention to Her Royal Highness the princess anymore, but looked back at the Seventh Prince and said with a smile: "Your Highness, there is a credit, I don't know if you want it?" ”

His Royal Highness King Wei smiled: "Merit is naturally required." ”

Li Xin's face was calm: "Your Majesty ordered me to get some more of these clairvoyant mirrors, and named the Ministry of Industry to help, Your Highness can find some people to help me get these things, and ...... afterwards"

"These things are made by the Ministry of Industry to present to Your Majesty."

In this era when craftsmen are not in the stream, it is impossible to get ahead by making utensils, especially before Li Xin has mastered the right to speak, even if he is promoted by making utensils, he will be teased as a craftsman by people in the capital.

In this era, if you want to get ahead, there are only two ways to go, either rely on scientific research to climb slowly in the officialdom, or rely on merit to rise step by step!

Except for this civil and military two, the other ways are the last stream!

Instead of this, it is better to give this a favor to His Royal Highness King Wei.

His Royal Highness King Wei smiled heartily: "Brother Xin'er is magnificent, I'll go and greet the Ministry of Industry when I turn around, what kind of craftsman do you need, just say?" ”

Li Xin: "I want a few jade craftsmen." ”

The Ministry of Industry is responsible for building the city, civil engineering repair, and Tuntian farming, etc., without exception are major projects, but in addition, the Ministry of Industry will also be supervised, as long as the whole country is registered as a worker, the household department has the right to requisition, so the craftsmen of the household department are the top skilled craftsmen in the country.

His Royal Highness King Wei squinted his eyes and smiled: "Okay, I'll let a few jade masters look for you tomorrow." ”

Li Xin nodded, and was about to speak, when he suddenly noticed a gaze, and he turned his head to look over.

Ji Huan, the fourth prince not far away, was looking at Li Xin, and when he saw Li Xin coming over, His Royal Highness the King of Qi smiled, picked up his wine glass, and toasted Li Xin from afar.

Li Xin's face was calm and he turned a blind eye.

……………………

The birthday of the Son of Heaven ended in a round of praise.

Li Xin also returned to Yongle Fang with Princess Qinghe, but in the next few days, Li Xin did not go to work in Princess Qinghe's mansion, but tinkered with binoculars in his own home.

With the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry and the high-grade water jade sent from the palace, the progress of the project was very smooth, about the afternoon of the fourth day, Li Xin had already made three or four "clairvoyant mirrors", but did not continue to do it, but said hello to those craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, let them continue to polish the lenses, changed their clothes, and walked out of the yard.

Tonight, it is the time for the official sale of Zhurong wine in the proud building, and Li Xin wants to investigate how high the consumption level of the magnates in the capital is, so that he can make specific pricing in the future.

In the evening, the entrance of the proud building was crowded.

In the past, they came to the proud building to have fun, but today is different, today most of them are here to buy wine.

The reputation of Zhurong Wine, after the last round of hype, has become famous in the capital.

It's a pity that the legendary toast only appeared for three days, and since then the proud building has never been taken out, after I don't know how many nobles want to buy, the proud building of Boss Cui finally did not hold on, announced that today to take out ten jars of toast to sell.

I don't know how many high-rollers in the wine hall are excited and want to see the power of this spirit.

Before it was completely dark, the first floor of the proud building was already crowded with people.

When it was time to arrive, the smiling Cui Jiuniang appeared on the high platform erected by the proud building, bowing slightly to the visitors.

"Ladies and gentlemen, at the invitation of all the guests today, the building once again took out ten jars of toasting wine for sale."

Speaking of this, Cui Jiuniang paused, and then continued: "It's just that the last time the toast made a few guests hurt their bodies, so this time the toast should be relatively soft, and it won't be as violent as last time." ”

The "softness" in Cui Jiuniang's mouth is actually mixed with water.

The last time the toast in the proud building was at least fifty or sixty degrees, and the ten jars of spirits sold this time will not exceed forty degrees at most.

Cui Jiuniang turned sideways, revealing the ten wine jars behind her, and said with a smile: "There are too many guests here today, for the sake of fairness, I won't set a price for this wine, and the one with the highest price will get it." ”

"The reserve price, fifty yuan a jar."

As soon as Cui Jiuniang's words fell, an inappropriate voice sounded in the proud building.

"I'll give five hundred and ten times, and I want all this wine."

Everyone followed the sound, and a young man in purple walked in.

Some of them have a lot of official positions in the court, and when they saw the appearance of this son, their faces changed drastically, and they didn't dare to speak anymore.

Fang was still noisy and proud, and it was silent for a while.
