MTL - Getting Simulated By The Empress Is Not My Intention-Chapter 178 King Yan speaks for porcelain

  Chapter 178 King Yan Endorses Porcelain

  The next day, Zhang Beichen was woken up by the guards in the palace early in the morning, and went to the pottery workshop.

  Before Zhang Beichen came, Yan Qingwu actually had the craftsmen try to make porcelain, but because the craftsmanship was not very clear, there were always mistakes and flaws.

  This time, Zhang Beichen is helping them improve their craftsmanship and make better porcelain.

  A few days later, in front of Yanwang Palace.

Guo Guang, Li Fu, Qing Bai and other important ministers of the Yan Kingdom were waiting in front of the palace. Although they all made mistakes in the later stage of the simulation of time and space, at least for now, they are still important figures of the Yan Kingdom and belong to Yan Qingwu's capable go-getters.

   "Why is your majesty interested in watching the pottery today? You want to call us all?" Qing Bai asked Li Fu.

   "I don't know either, maybe the king has a deep meaning!" Li Fu couldn't guess what Yan Qingwu was thinking.

  Yesterday, after Yan Qingwu appointed Zhang Beichen as prime minister, all the ministers were discussing in private.

   Zhang Beichen was named prime minister in several other countries, and he made more or less contributions, but in Yan State, he seemed to have done nothing.

   Regarding the matter of Lord An, it is naturally impossible for Yan Qingwu to reveal to the officials that the real Lord An is dead, and the current one is a counterfeit, so he surrendered to King Yan.

  When Yan Qingwu brought his courtiers to the pottery workshop, Zhang Beichen had already been here for a long time.

   "Your Majesty." Zhang Beichen greeted Yan Qingwu, who nodded slightly.

  Li Fu and others all looked at Zhang Beichen, thinking: "Why is Zhang Beichen in the pottery workshop?"

  They were quick-witted, and immediately thought of many things, such as Yan Guo wanted to do pottery business with Qin State, and Qin State promised to make a lot of money, so why was King Yan so generous?

   "Prime Minister, how is your porcelain?" Yan Qingwu asked.

   "There are already several finished products." Zhang Beichen said.

   "Everyone, the Prime Minister gave us Yan Guosong a big gift, and you all will watch it with me!" Yan Qingwu said.

   "Oh, the old minister should take a good look, what kind of gift is it!" Guo Guang was a little bit concerned.

  He is the number one warrior in the country of Yan, Minister Tuogu, but he found that Yan Qingwu had been keeping the secret from him in dealing with Zhang Beichen, which made him somewhat dissatisfied.

   "Look, everyone!" Zhang Beichen asked for the fired porcelain to be presented.

   There are vases, teacups, dishes, and artworks made of porcelain.

  These porcelains are blue, white, and blue-white. They are smooth and beautiful like jade, and the few courtiers were attracted by them the moment they saw them.

   At this time, even princes and ministers generally used ugly pottery. In comparison, porcelain is simply a creation of gods!

   "What kind of pottery is this, so gorgeous!" Li Fu admired and stepped forward to watch.

   "Is this pottery?" Guo Guang also stepped forward to look at it, and even touched it with his hands, saying with emotion: "It's cold and smooth. I've never seen such beautiful pottery in my whole life!"

   "Yes, is this carved from jade?" Qing Bai asked.

  Zhang Beichen smiled and said: "These are a kind of pottery, but I gave it a new name, called porcelain!"

   "The smooth layer on the surface is porcelain! You see, there are celadon, white porcelain, blue and white porcelain, etc. According to different firing techniques, various patterns and even patterns can be made on the surface! It is extremely beautiful!"

  Yan Qingwu couldn't help picking up a porcelain Feiyan to play with. She said to the ministers: "Everyone, if this kind of porcelain is sold in the market, would you buy it?"

   "Of course!" Li Fu said directly, "Such things are pleasing to the eye just by putting them at home. If the price is right, I am willing to replace all the pottery at home with this kind of porcelain!"

   "Old man, too!" Guo Guang agreed.

   "Although I don't care much about these things, I think my relatives will like them." Qing Bai said, "If it is used as a gift, relatives and friends should also be happy."

   Speaking of this, several people have already understood Yan Qingwu's intention.

   Li Fu was surprised and said: "Is this the great gift that the Prime Minister sent to our country of Yan?"

   "The production and trade of pottery in my country of Yan is extremely prosperous. Pottery alone can bring a lot of income to the country every year. If you burn porcelain, you can even earn gold and silver!"

   "So that's how it is. Your Majesty is really far-sighted!" Guo Guang said with emotion, "I'm still old, I never thought there would be such a treasure. I'm here to thank Zhang Xiang!"

  He thanked Zhang Beichen.

  At this time, the Yan State was weak, and the officials were relatively united.

  Qing Bai also said: "Mr. Zhang was able to bring such a great gift to the country of Yan, and his credit is comparable to laying down ten cities!"

  Zhang Beichen said modestly: "Everyone praises you, this is what a courtier should do."

  Yan Qingwu was extremely happy to see that these porcelains had conquered these ministers. Since they all like it, it means that others will like it too.

   "These porcelains have just been fired, so I gave them to a few people." 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 thank the Prime Minister in advance!" 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 to make porcelain popular all over the world, you need celebrities to take the lead in promoting it.

  What the King of Yan, the Prime Minister of Yan, the General, and the Taifu are all pursuing, the courtiers and nobles below will naturally also pursue it.

  Porcelain is exquisite in appearance, and it is not difficult to promote it to other countries.

  …

  Next, Yan Qingwu personally acted as the "image spokesperson", displaying the porcelain fired by Zhang Beichen in the court hall, and also asked to place large porcelain vases and porcelain carvings on the palace as decorations.

  The courtiers saw that Yan Guo actually produced such a thing, and the king couldn't put it down. Naturally, they hurriedly asked where there was porcelain for sale.

  For a while, the nobles and rich people in Jicheng were discussing porcelain, because there are still few workshops that master the technology, so celebrities are proud of having one or two pieces of porcelain in their homes.

  For better publicity, King Yan specially asked people to make porcelain and gave it to other queens as an advertisement.

  The effect has not yet been shown, 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 are basically over. As for sending people to the Xiongnu to negotiate with Donghu, Yan Qingwu has other arrangements.

  Besides, there are still a few years before Hao Ziyi becomes an adult, 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 bid farewell to Yan Qingwu: "Your Majesty, my mission has been completed, and I will return to Qin soon. I am here to bid farewell."

  Yan Qingwu was reluctant to give up, but in the chat channel, Ying Yiren had already urged her several times.

  She had no choice but to say: "These days, the Prime Minister is here to help you. If you are free, the Prime Minister will come to the Kingdom of Yan at any time. The position of the Prime Minister will always be reserved for you."

   "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

   Zhang Beichen was about to leave, and the officials of Yan Kingdom also breathed a sigh of relief. These days, Zhang Beichen participated in the court meeting, and put forward various views and policies, whether it was the court, economy, agriculture, military, etc., which steadily suppressed them. This put them under great pressure, and they were far behind others!

  At the beginning, some courtiers thought that Zhang Beichen was just a vain name. These days, they realized that it is no wonder that Zhang Beichen can win the seal of the Five Kingdoms. If they are monarchs, they can't help but want to use Zhang Beichen.

  …

  In Yanwang Palace, Yan Qingwu is practicing martial arts in the palace.

   Tai Tuo Guo Guang asked: "Your Majesty, Zhang Beichen will leave for Qin State today, won't Your Majesty go see him off?"

  Yan Qingwu said: "He doesn't want to stay in Yan Country, why send him?"

  Guo Guang nodded, "This is also the reason."

  Yan Qingwu said: "Teacher, this king plans to retreat for a few days, and he will not go to court in these few days. Let the Taifu handle political affairs on his behalf."

  Guo Guang has long been used to this kind of thing, "Your Majesty, don't worry, leave everything to the veteran."

  …

  Outside Jicheng, Zhang Beichen thought that Yan Qing would come to see him off at the ball, but he didn't find her.

   Instead, Li Fu, Qing Bai and other officials of Yan State came to see him off.

   "Master Zhang, next time we come to Yan, let's have another drink!" Qing Bai shouted.

   "Definitely, definitely!" Zhang Beichen cupped his fists, and his car gradually moved away.

  The few people who saw him off were also surprised: "Your Majesty regards Zhang Beichen so much, why didn't he come again when we parted?"

  Li Fu said: "Maybe it's because I'm afraid of adding to the sadness."

  …

  Zhang Beichen was also a little disappointed. Although Yan Qingwu was not forgiving, she had a very cute personality. These days, the relationship between the two has also improved. 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 the king didn't come to see you off?"

  Zhang Beichen looked again, only to see Yan Qingwu got into the carriage at some point!

  She also quickly set up an enchantment, so that neither the messengers nor the coachman outside could detect it.

   "The king is really haunted!" Zhang Beichen sighed again, and at the same time joked: "Is the king of Yan planning to return to Qin with the minister?"

   "That's great, I think King Qin will be very happy, and reward you as my maid!"

   "You must be dreaming!" Yan Qingwu snorted softly, "This king just thought that the territory is not safe, so he came to check. In case something happens to you, it will cause disputes between the two countries."

   "So that's how it is." Zhang Beichen said with a smile, "I thought the king was reluctant to part with me, so I came here to see him off."

   "Who will miss you!" Yan Qingwu raised her head, "Don't think too highly of yourself!"

   "I'm already taller than you." Zhang Beichen reached out and touched Yan Qingwu's head.

   "Damn it!" Yan Qingwu yelled, but she didn't resist at all.

  Zhang Beichen hugged her directly, and the two were so close that they could feel each other's warmth.

  Yan Qingwu didn't speak, until this time, she didn't know that she was really reluctant.

   Zhang Beichen left this time, and he doesn’t know when he will come to Yan Kingdom next time.

  …

  Yan Qingwu sent Zhang Beichen to the border of Yan State all the way, and then Zhang Beichen will pass through Zhao State, South Korea and Wei State, and return to Qin State.

   Arriving at the border, Yan Qingwu suddenly felt a little bit reluctant, and hugged Zhang Beichen tightly without saying a word.

  Zhang Beichen caressed her head and comforted her: "We will definitely meet again. At that time, I hope Yan Kingdom has undergone earth-shaking changes!"

Yan Qingwu raised her head, her eyes were shining, and she said: "This king will definitely make Yan Kingdom stronger, just like in the simulation, just wait and see! At that time, you can make an agreement with Ying Yiren and surrender directly My lord, don't hurt your temper!"

   "Hahaha, I wish you all the best!" Zhang Beichen laughed.

  The two were about to part when suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes.

  Zhang Beichen looked out of the carriage, and saw a group of well-equipped cavalry coming towards this side.

   "Who is in front?" The mission became alert.

  The cavalry general shouted: "We are the Zhao cavalry, and we are ordered to protect the prime minister from crossing the road!"

   After confirming the soldier talisman, Zhang Beichen was relieved.

   "Remember to eat more... so that you can grow well!" Zhang Beichen said a few words in Yan Qingwu's ear, which made Yan Qingwu turn red, and scolded: "Zhang Beichen, you are courting death!"

  Zhang Beichen followed Zhao Guo's cavalry and continued to move forward, but Yan Qingwu disappeared.

   "Prime Minister!" The cavalry general approached Zhang Beichen and said, "We have arranged a car for the prime minister, please take it."

   Zhang took a look at this time, Zhao Guo’s car is much better than his own, it is big and spacious, why not do it?

  He changed the car directly. Unexpectedly, as soon as he was about to get in the car, he found that the cavalry was divided into two teams, and the other Qin envoys were divided into 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 at all and led his people away.

   Only one luxury car was left behind, and in front of the car were four good horses. They seemed to have a little spiritual knowledge, and they knew the direction without being driven by the driver.

  Zhang Beichen was about to chase, but heard a cold and queenly voice from the car: "There is no need to chase, it is arranged by Gu."

  When Zhang Beichen heard the voice, his eyes lit up, and he quickly lifted 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 stacked on top of the other, and the jade feet are hooked lightly. What is hooked is not the shoes, but the heart!

   Then there is a fiery red cheongsam, with a hot figure, exquisite appearance, mature and charming, this familiar face is naturally Zhao Wang—Zhao Yun!

   "Your Majesty, why are you here?" Zhang Beichen was a little surprised.

  Zhao Yun asked back: "Why, can't Gu come? Then Yan Qingwu sent you off to the border, so Gu came to see you off, is there a problem?"

   "Of course it's okay, it's too late for me to be happy!" Zhang Beichen hurried over and sat next to her. He could smell a fragrance and female hormones.

  Zhao Yun snorted softly: "Gu saw you reluctantly with King Yan just now, but now he changed his face. Which one of you is the real one?"

  Zhang Beichen smiled and said: "It's all!"

  Zhao Yun rolled her eyes and said, "You are really sentimental! Gu should have listened to King Wei's suggestion, and together they will conquer Qin and capture you. Now there are not so many things to do!"

   "That's not necessarily true." Zhang Beichen laughed, "If Your Majesty listens to King Wei, now Your Majesty and I will probably be imprisoned in the Palace of Wei!"

   "That's true." Zhao Yun agreed. With King Wei's character, he should be able to do such a thing.
