Chapter 67: A Thousand Pieces of Glazed

Shentu Ming paused and said, "Over the years, it's rare that you speak for anyone."

"It's not for anyone." He Chaoci lowered his head and said nothing. Looking into Shen Tuming's eyes, "I'm just telling the truth."

Shen Tuming just raised his eyes and looked at him without saying a word. He took the handkerchief that had been prepared nearby and wiped his mouth gracefully.

Immediately, it was folded into a tofu shape and set aside.

The next moment, he stood up with both hands on the armrests on the left and right sides, walked slowly to He Chaoci, stared at him for a long time, and then looked away.

He reached out and brushed the dust off He Chaoci's clothes, and said in a low voice, "Why are you nervous? I just said that."

After a long time, Shentu Ming sighed leisurely, his eyes were complicated, and he suddenly said, " Ah Ci, are you still complaining about me?"

Shen Tuming's voice was hoarse, and there was a hint of temptation in his tone.

His eyes instantly fell on He Chaoci, his lips slightly opened, as if he wanted to say something else.

But as his thoughts were spinning, he finally didn't ask any more questions.

Since he ascended the throne, except for his second brother who wanted to kill him from the beginning and was thrown into the clan mansion, he has condemned everyone else out of Nanxia.

In this position, he needs to have trustworthy people around him.

Apart from He Chaoci, he could not find anyone else whom he could trust so much.

When something happened in Hancheng this time, many people said that he sent He Chaoci out purely as a scapegoat.

But this time He Chaoci did a very good job.

He Chaoci looked confused, "What does this mean, Your Majesty?"

Shen Tuming looked at him deeply, and it didn't look like he was pretending. His face became a little complicated for a moment, and his eyes fell on him involuntarily. There was a small wound on He Chaoci's right wrist, "That matter..."

He opened his mouth, but He Chaoci interrupted directly, "The matter has already passed, Your Majesty, not to mention that you, Your Majesty, are Emperor, I am just a minister, there is no reason in this world for a minister to blame the emperor."

Shen Tuming raised his right hand slightly, as if he wanted to try to stretch it forward, but he only stretched it halfway and then retracted it.

"Then look me in the eyes and tell me, did you really not complain about that incident?" Shen Tuming spoke up again.

He Chaoci slowly raised his head, met Shen Tuming's deep eyes, and then shook his head, "Don't complain."

After saying this, Shen Tuming immediately felt relieved.

As long as He Chaoci didn't have hatred in his heart, nothing would be a problem.

He leaned back, collected his thoughts, took the memorial in front of him, and threw it to He Chaoci, "That's good, let's take a look at this."

He Chaoci quickly opened the After a quick glance, he quickly grasped the key points. He frowned and raised his head suddenly, "The envoy from the Colorful Kingdom is coming tomorrow?"

Most of the surrounding towns obeyed Nan Xia's orders, but in his own In terms of interests, there is no ambiguity. What should be exchanged should be exchanged, and what should be fought should be fought.

Those who cannot defeat Nan Xia, or surrender voluntarily, will bring some local specialties to Nan Xia as tribute every three years.

In addition to Nanxia, ​​the surrounding Colorful Country is becoming increasingly prosperous and has a faint tendency to rival Nanxia. However, they only care about their own one-third of an acre of land and do not have much dealings with other towns.

In this regard, Shen Tuming felt quite relieved.

Qicai and Nanxia have reached an agreement on a certain aspect.

Due to its location in Colorful Country, the people there are good at making salt and farming, and have a special liking for small and delicate-looking objects.

Especially for Liuli Zhan, it has reached the point of fanaticism.

The Colorful Country produced some fine salt this year, which is many times better than coarse salt.

Usually the tribute from the Colorful Kingdom is some coarse salt, which is small in quantity, but this year the leader of the Colorful Kingdom suddenly made a request.

It’s no problem to ask for coarse salt. Colorful Country will pay tribute to Nan Xia as usual.

But if they want fine salt, they will exchange the fine salt with anyone who can produce a thousand pieces of colored glaze at once.

If they could come up with more colored glaze, they could even exchange the steps for refining fine salt.

Nan Xia now urgently needs to refine the steps. If he can master them himself, he can avoid a lot of trouble.

There was a hint of sadness in Shen Tuming's brows, "Yes, colored glaze is a rare item. Even in Southern Xia, it is not necessarily possible to get a hundred colored glazes together in a short time, let alone a thousand pieces."

He paused and then said: "Besides, if you want to refine the steps, you need more colored glaze."

"Aci, you always have a way." Shen Tuming stared at He Chaoci so closely, " Do you have any perfect solution?"

"It's better to meet with the envoy first." He Chaoci lowered his eyes for a while and then looked up at Shentu Ming.

The two immediately hit it off.

Morning next day.

"The envoy from the Colorful Kingdom will enter the palace today. All of you dear friends also know the difficulties in Southern Xia now." Shen Tuming was wearing a dragon robe and showed no anger at all. "The Colorful Kingdom only gave a five-day time limit. Whoever can collect a thousand pieces of colored glaze the fastest within five days will be the first to exchange."

He scanned the people below one by one, and almost everyone lowered their heads.

Shen Tuming cleared his throat and spoke again: "Do you have any ideas?"

Shan Guangyin's eyes lit up, and he immediately took a step to the side, clasped his hands together, and raised his hands towards Shen Tuming, "Since they mentioned If the request is made, the humble minister is not talented, so he can only do his best for Nanxia."

As soon as these words came out, the meaning was obvious, and the others consciously stepped forward to agree, and they all volunteered to transfer the people in the mansion. Liuli took it out.

It would not be appropriate for them to wait until the other party speaks out before they come forward.

Glaze is indeed a rare item. Anyone who is lucky enough to get it will only borrow flowers to offer to Buddha. Therefore, there are not many colored glazes in people's houses.

"There are several pieces of colored glaze in Wei Chen's Mansion, all of which were bought with a lot of money. But now that it can help Nan Xia, it has found its own value." Shan Guangyin's eyes flashed slightly, and the topic suddenly changed, "Wei Chen I heard that there are a lot of colored glazes in the regent's palace, but I don't know if I can take them all out for the sake of the emperor."

He Chaoci snorted, "You know exactly what is in my palace."

"After all, we are all courtiers." Shan Guangyin smiled, "It's just to share the emperor's worries. Prince Regent, are you reluctant to part with those pieces of glass?"

He Chaoci took a step forward, "Since the auxiliary king is so worried about the emperor, Why not just take over the task of collecting a thousand pieces of colored glaze, so that we can really help the emperor and all the people, right?"

After saying this, he looked at Shan Guangyin with a smile.
