Just as I finished explaining this, Wang Mengyu and the other three hurried over.
Zhao Hao gave some instructions to Zheng Zhiqian and Luo Bi, then he and Wang Mengyu hurried back to the city.
When they entered the city, it was not yet completely light. Zhao Hao put Wang Mengyu down and asked Wu Song to drive directly to the palace.
If it's a little later, it will be time to go to court.
The carriage was not moving fast, so Zhao Hao immediately urged, "Second Brother Wu, please go a little faster."
Wu Song said, "Sir, if we go any faster, we will be in a state of shock."
Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "It's okay."
Wu Song had no choice but to speed up, but no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't arrive before the court meeting.
When the emperor gave the order, Zhao Hao couldn't help but ask Wu Song, "Brother Wu, it's been so long, why haven't your two friends arrived yet?"
Wu Song shook his head: "I'm not sure. They should have arrived long ago. Maybe something unexpected happened."
Seeing Wu Song's worried look, Zhao Hao hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry too much, Brother Wu. Your two friends are both highly skilled in martial arts, so there shouldn't be any accidents."
"At most, I am just tripped up by trivial matters."
"Maybe it will be here soon."
Wu Song nodded.
While the two were talking, Eunuch Qu walked over quickly.
"Sir, His Majesty summons you!"
Zhao Hao was stunned.
"Eunuch Qu, His Majesty should not have left the court yet, right?"
Eunuch Qu smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty is right. The court meeting between His Majesty and the officials has not yet ended."
"Your Majesty summons you, and orders the Lord to come in!"
Zhao Hao nodded and walked in with Eunuch Qu.
…
Fengtian Hall.
Although there have been unusual movements on both borders in recent times, both the government and the opposition are under tremendous pressure.
However, after the sales share of dry wine reached nearly 5 million guan, the pressure suddenly eased.
With this money, organizing the army will not be a problem at all.
If we tighten the belt a little, we can even continue to work on resettling the disaster victims in the two states.
At this moment, Jiang Wan'er and the ministers were discussing how to spend the money.
"Lord Naishi!"
"I am here."
"According to what we just discussed, regarding the resettlement of the people in the two states, we will first take out 500,000 strings of cash."
"In addition, the money that was previously used in the name of the court to entertain guests for the opening of the porcelain workshop must be repaid."
"yes."
Zhao Wenxiang accepted the order respectfully.
As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Qu came in from the side door and hurried to Jiang Wan'er's side.
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhao Hao has arrived!"
Jiang Wan'er nodded slightly and said, "Then let's call him up!"
Eunuch Qu hurried away.
Jiang Wan'er said, "Zhao Hao is here. I think he has brought back good news. Let's hear what he says later."
Jiang Wan'er has been in a very good mood these past few days.
The pressure of lack of money finally eased.
Of course, not completely yet.
Just after the discussion, 800,000 strings of cash were gone.
Although there are still 4 million strings of cash left, only 3 million strings of cash can be used.
A portion must be reserved.
Although three million strings of cash may seem like a lot, it also depends on whether the Chu State in the south and the Wu State in the west will take any action.
Once the war begins, money is no longer money.
It will be spent like water.
Led by Eunuch Qu, Zhao Hao walked in quickly and then respectfully saluted Jiang Wan'er.
"Zhao Hao pays respect to His Majesty!"
"No thanks!"
Jiang Waner waved her hand.
"Zhao Hao, you hurried back to see me. Is there any good news from the porcelain workshop?"
Zhao Hao nodded.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Since yesterday, the workshop has started firing the first kiln of porcelain."
"As of this morning, the firing has been completed, but the kiln has not yet been officially opened."
"I want to hold a ceremony to commemorate the birth of the first kiln of porcelain and witness this moment of great significance."
Jiang Wan'er's beautiful eyes suddenly brightened.
"Okay, this is a good arrangement. This kiln of porcelain is not only the first kiln of porcelain I have ever produced, but also the first kiln of porcelain in the world."
"It's time to hold a grand ceremony!"
"How about this, after the court session, those of you who are willing to attend this ceremony, please come with me."
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened.
"Your Majesty...will you also participate?"
He originally just wanted to call a few ministers with whom he had a good relationship.
It would be great if Dad, King Kang, Shang Henshui, and Xiao Chuyun could go and participate.
The portion is heavy enough.
But I never expected that Her Majesty would actually go there in person to participate.
this……
Jiang Wan'er's beautiful eyes turned and she asked, "Why, can't I go?"
Zhao Hao quickly shook his head: "No, no, Your Majesty can of course go, but the ceremony preparations are rushed, I'm afraid..."
Jiang Wan'er smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. It's mainly about porcelain. It must be an unforgettable thing to witness a large number of porcelains coming out of the kiln with my own eyes."
"Well, is there anything else you want to say besides this?"
Zhao Hao shook his head: "No more."
Jiang Wan said, "Well, please stand aside. My Lords, do you have anything else to discuss?"
The left prime minister Lu Liuliang immediately came out and said, "Your Majesty, regarding food, we need to go to Yue to buy it as soon as possible. In addition, if possible, we can also buy it from Shu."
Zhao Wenxiang also said: "Your Majesty, what the left prime minister said is very true. The risk of border war is increasing now."
"Once the war begins, prices will soar, and one of the most common ones is the price of food."
"Therefore, whether it is military rations or civilian rations, they must be fully sufficient."
"To achieve this, simply purchasing food from Yue may not be enough."
"It would be best to purchase from Shu Kingdom during this period of time, and we must speed up the purchase."
"In case a major war breaks out, Shu will eventually be forced by Wu to join the war."
"By then, even if we take a step back and assume that Shu Kingdom does not actually participate in the war, I'm afraid that even if we want to purchase food from them again, they won't sell it to us."
As soon as he finished speaking, Right Prime Minister Xiao Danglu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I second your opinion. The words of the Left Prime Minister and the Internal Secretary hit the nail on the head!"
Xiao Chuyun also stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I second your motion."
Then King Kang said: "Your Majesty, I second the proposal!"
Jiang Wan'er nodded slightly and said, "Okay, in that case, the matter of purchasing food will be fully entrusted to Taicang Ling."
"Immediately send officials to Yue and Shu to discuss the purchase of large quantities of grain."
A thin old man with a white beard walked out.
"I obey your order."
Jiang Wan'er nodded slightly and asked, "Anything else?"
Jiang Wan'er's beautiful eyes swept across the faces of the court officials one by one, and this time she didn't speak.
However, when her eyes passed over Zhao Hao, she found that Zhao Hao seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Jiang Wan'er immediately asked curiously: "Zhao Hao, do you have anything else to say?"
