Chongzhen spent half a day talking to Song Yingxing to accept that the development of machines to replace labor, reduce costs, and expand the sales market of porcelain, thus expanding the scale of potters rather than shrinking.

Although Song Yingxing was only half-convinced of this, he was no longer as negative as he had when he first heard about it.

Subsequently, Zhu Youzhen continued: "The second requirement is that the prospect of Dezhen to open an imperial ware factory to fire ceramics for the needs of the palace, and in recent years, it has been changed to official and private burning to solve the problem of porcelain in the palace."

I felt that both of these methods would do more harm than good to the potters in Jingdezhen, so I wanted to improve them.

The eunuchs in the palace were stationed in the local area to buy ceramics in the name of the official, and in the end, there was always the use of administrative power in their hands to squeeze the potters, which caused a contradiction between the potters and the procurement eunuchs.

Therefore, I plan to change it, no longer give the procurement eunuchs the name of the palace, but set up the Ming Royal Ceramics Company to purchase at market prices.

The palace only gives the quality requirements and the shape of the vessel, and then the qualified, capable, and large-scale kiln factory bids and prices.

For these kilns that can participate in the bidding, we will give them the name of the designated manufacturers of royal ceramics, and allow them to fire ceramics of any shape and color without restrictions, and give them certain financial support, so that their production scale is not less than 300,000 pieces. ”

The emperor's proposed change in the way Jingdezhen purchased porcelain greatly excited Song Yingxing. This undoubtedly reduced the burden on the potters in Jingdezhen, after all, in the past, the cost of firing ceramics in the palace was collected from the local people.

The ceramics required in the palace, in addition to some of the daily porcelain, will also be fired for the emperor or the great eunuchs to enjoy the utensils, these utensils have special requirements, often fail several times to succeed once, and the cost of firing failure, the eunuch will not pay.

In this situation, firing imperial porcelain for the palace has become a kind of harsh policy, just to cancel this official way of purchasing porcelain, Song Yingxing felt that this trip to Jingdezhen was promising.

Song Yingxing accepted the emperor's two requests, and then he discussed with Chongzhen some things about how to manage the homeless people and local security in Jingdezhen, and ended this meeting.

On 29 April, at the Shenyang Palace, the Manchurian nobles listened to Amin talk about the progress of the peace talks with the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji, who was sitting next to Dai Shan, who had a blank expression, showed a rare grim expression on his face.

Today's court meeting was out of his control from the beginning, which was really a bit unexpected for Huang Taiji, who had been sitting on the Great Khan for more than a year.

As in the past, when Amin wanted to report to everyone on the progress of the peace talks with the Ming envoys he was responsible for, he suddenly proposed that the peace talks between the Later Jin and the Ming Dynasty was a major event that determined the future national policy of the Later Jin State, and whether it was war or peace, it was a matter decided by the masters and had nothing to do with the minions, so the Han officials who were slaves should be allowed to withdraw from the court.

Huang Taiji naturally scoffed at Amin's brainless move, he waited for Dai Shan to come out and refute it, and he vetoed Amin's ridiculous proposal.

However, Dai Shan, who used to compete with Amin at the court meeting, seems to be out of the world today, and he is silent about Amin's statement.

Although Amin's strength was greatly damaged after returning from the expedition, he was still one of the four major Baylors after all, and he was also the banner master of the Eight Banners. There are only a few people who can refute him face to face in the court, and if Dai Shan doesn't come forward, how dare ordinary people be in the limelight.

And Amin's proposal today seemed ridiculous to Huang Taiji, but for many Manchu and Mongolian nobles, it was right to their hearts.

After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne of the Great Khan, he abolished many of the discriminatory policies of the Mandate of Heaven Khan against the Han people, and thus relied on the Han people to restore the production of agriculture and handicrafts, so that the national strength of the Later Jin State was quickly restored and improved.

However, this policy of improving the status of the Han people came at the expense of the rights and interests of the Jurchen aristocracy. It's just that after Nurhachi's death, these Jurchen nobles felt that the sky was about to fall, and it became questionable whether the Houjin Kingdom, which was attacked on three sides, could survive.

Under the pressure of survival, these Jurchen nobles had to succumb, and Huang Taiji, who seemed to have found a solution to the problem, acquiesced in his policy of improving the status of the Han people in the Later Jin Dynasty.

But today, the Korean surrender, the Mongol Chahar Department moved westward, and the Ming State sent a peace envoy, and the future of the Houjin Kingdom seemed to be bright and unlimited, and there was no threat of being wiped out.

Seeing that Dai Shan and Da Khan were silent, the Jurchen relatives and nobles naturally began to slowly speak out in support of their Amin's proposition, and the Han officials all bowed their heads like quails and remained silent, lest they attract the attention of these masters.

Huang Taiji had no choice but to look at the son of Dai Shan, and lead the red flag lord Yue Tuo. Under pressure from Huang Taiji, Yue Tuo had to stand up against Amin's proposal to let the Han officials withdraw from the court.

However, Dai Shan, who had been silent just now, reprimanded his son in a strange voice, so that Yue Tuo had to retreat.

Dai Shan made his attitude clear, so that the Manchurian nobles who were still waiting also stood up and supported Amin's proposition.

Huang Taiji noticed that the Dorgon brothers were silent, and seemed to have made up his mind to watch the show. Huang Taiji didn't want to clash head-on with Daishan at this time, so he had to choose a compromise and let all the Han officials in the Dazheng Hall retreat.

And Amin unexpectedly got a success, after driving the Han officials out of the court, Amin did not show an aggressive posture as in the past, but restrained his arrogance and began to report the results of his peace talks.

“… The envoys of the Ming Kingdom finally agreed that they were willing to carry out mutual trade with Dajin, and the location was in Yingkou. Except for soldiers and food, everything else can be traded. Amin, who was standing in the center of the hall, ended his report.

Huang Taiji's eldest son, Hao Ge, suddenly said dissatisfiedly: "Don't the people of the Ming Kingdom refuse to pay any compensation? Just use a mutual market to fool us, what good is such a peace negotiation for us? ”

Dai Shan suddenly said slowly: "You can't say that, although my Dajin is invincible in the east against Korea and Mongolia in the west, but under the successive wars, there is also a lot of loss of people.

Today, there are only 6 or 70,000 people in the Eight Banners. The root of Dajin is in my Jurchen son, and if my Jurchen population is not prosperous, everything I say is empty talk.

As long as we negotiate peace with the Ming Kingdom, let my Jurchen population multiply for a few years, and consolidate the national capital, what do we want, can't we still go to the Ming Kingdom to take it ourselves? ”

Haoge was suddenly blocked and speechless, and the other Jurchen nobles also agreed with Dai Shan's statement.

Huang Taiji had to say out loud: "It is certainly a good thing to make peace with the Ming Kingdom, rest for a few years, and reproduce my Jurchen population." However, my father Khan created such a foundation, relying on the indomitable pride of my Jurchen warriors and the prestige that terrified the enemy.

If the Ming Kingdom only used a mutual market as a condition, let us accept the peace talks, and spread the word, will it make others think that my Dajin is already at the end of the crossbow and is about to run out of water?

Although my Dajin is excellent in martial arts, if the Quartet rats rise up in groups, even if we defeat them, we will be greatly injured.

In addition to the mutual market, it is inevitable that the Ming people will give a certain amount of compensation, at least as the example of King Shunyi. In this way, the Quartet will be small, and they will not dare to peek at my Dajin Kingdom. ”

Huang Taiji's words suddenly made the Jurchen nobles hesitate a little. Seeing this, Amin immediately spoke again: "In fact, the Ming envoy also proposed another compromise method, the Ming State is willing to exchange 5,000 taels of silver and 10,000 pieces of cloth for the entire clan of the former Ming State Guangning guerrilla Sun Degong. Then my Dajin can get the name of compensation, and Ming Guo can also have an explanation internally. ”

After Sun Degong betrayed Wang Huazhen and surrendered to Jin, he was awarded the post of guerrilla, but he was not promoted, and then he was subordinated to the white flag, governed the people, and moved to Yizhou. But he was abused by Nurhachi in his later years and had to resign and return home.

It wasn't until Huang Taiji came to power, in order to buy the hearts of the Han people, that he recounted Sun Degong Guangning Gong and awarded the third-class Melle Zhangjing, and he was reinstated.

Sun Degong betrayed his benefactor Wang Huazhen, resulting in 130,000 Ming troops being slaughtered by Nurhachi in Shaling, and then sacrificed Guangning, which is not a small credit for the Later Jin, but the Jurchen relatives rarely treat him as a traitor.

Therefore, although Huang Taiji reinstated him, Sun Degong, who was excluded by the Jurchen nobles, did not have any status in the Later Jin.

Amin proposed to exchange Sun Degong for the success of the peace talks, and most of the Jurchen nobles who were not ashamed of him nodded in agreement.

The conditions of the Ming Kingdom were more unexpected than Huang Taiji, and for a marginalized general like Sun Degong, it was not worth his attention.

But Huang Taiji will not exchange Sun Degong for this reward of the Ming Kingdom, if he does this, who else will dare to surrender Houjin in the future?

Without waiting for others to express their opinions, Huang Taiji flatly rejected the proposal, and seeing Huang Taiji's firm attitude, Daishan and Amin also took a step back slightly, and instead sought to facilitate the success of the peace talks under the current conditions.

By this time, Hwang Tae-gil had finally determined that Daishan and Amin had reached some kind of agreement. The peace talks with the Ming State were no longer important, and the internal affairs of the Later Jin Dynasty, which had been sorted out by him, had an unpredictable situation again.

Huang Taiji secretly rejoiced that Sanbeile Mang Gurtai was not in the court because of the wild Jurchen, otherwise the three of them joined forces, and he was afraid that he would lose control of the government.

He immediately agreed to the peace agreement between Dajin and Mingguo, and hastily ended the court meeting.

Dai Shan and Amin, who walked out of the main hall, nodded to each other, and then parted and left. As for the outcome of today's court meeting, Amin was greatly satisfied.

"Sure enough, when it comes to the struggle between the DPRK and China, those literati of the Ming Kingdom are still better." When Amin rode back home, he thought to himself.

When he was hunting that day, Yang Ho gave him the idea to get closer to Dai Shan and provoke the difference between the Manchus and the Han in the court.

Amin originally wondered whether Daishan, who supported Huang Taiji, would accept his refuge. But unexpectedly, Dai Shan was extremely enthusiastic about his visit, which made Amin admire Yang Hao's vision.

And for Dai Shan, accepting Amin is also a helpless move. Although he received two red flags, the red flags were gradually mastered by his son Yue Tuo, and Yue Tuo got closer and closer to Huang Taiji in order to resist his pressure.

When Huang Taiji broke through the Chahar Department and promoted the Dolgon brothers, it became two red flags with two yellow flags and two white flags to oppress him, and there was an uncertain Yue Tuo in the two red flags, which obviously made Dai Shan very vigilant.

Although he supported Huang Taiji's ascension, he never thought of becoming a slave who bowed to Huang Taiji. Otherwise, he would not have supported it at the beginning, and he would have done some tricks for the four Baylors to govern together.

If it weren't for the fact that he had torn his face with Amin and Mang Gurtai in the past, and he was afraid of being betrayed by the two, he would have long thought about reconciling with the two and fighting against Huang Taiji's increasing pressure together. Amin took the initiative to show favor to him, and he could only say that he fell into his arms.
