Chapter 160 Big Hat

Wang Hua said, "What's wrong?"

It's very strange, now that the decisive battle is over, and Wu Zetian's hidden meaning of calling, it can be said that when the Wang family or himself is in full swing, what bad things will happen?
"That Shiro of the Zheng family is here again."

Zheng Silang is here again, still want to challenge?
Wang Hua walked out displeased.Seeing Zheng Silang, Wang Hua said with a gloomy face, "What is your Excellency doing here?"

It's okay to do everything once, once, twice, and again, no one will be happy.

Zheng Silang smiled, but instead of answering directly, he asked instead: "Erlang, did you hear what His Majesty said to me before leaving?"

That's the sentence that I am very satisfied with your Zheng family's performance this time.This is Wu Zetian conveying a meaning to the Zheng family.

If she really dealt with the seven surnames and ten families, Wu Zetian was not powerless. At that time, the Longyou Group, the Guanzhong Group, and Li Tang were so powerful that she melted the ice and snow, and almost disappeared.Besides, there are ten families with seven surnames, but this is not so easy to do. These ten families with seven surnames come out in large numbers, and there are countless officials serving in the ruling and opposition parties, and there are countless officials who are married to each other.If you want to completely destroy them, unless Wu Zetian makes another revolution like she did in her early years!

Now that Wu Zetian's position is stable, she doesn't want to make such anger and resentment.But the power of the seven surnames and ten families is too huge, which made her feel like a thorn in her throat.But as long as these families bow their heads to her, that's fine.What is the most important thing among the seven surnames and ten families?reputation!prestige!
This time Zheng Jiaming was competing, in fact, he was tarnishing his reputation, which was equivalent to bowing his head to Wu Zetian.Even so, the Zheng family will finally intervene in the porcelain industry, which will bring them a lot of benefits just like the Wang family.But the most important thing is self-harm.

So Wu Zetian was very satisfied.

Another meaning also means that Wu Zetian did not really want to eradicate them.If everyone makes a compromise, the sea and the sky will be brighter, which is why Wang Hua is helpless.

Zheng Silang smiled and said, "Erlang, this competition, if you think about it, everyone will benefit. Therefore, you don't need to regard our Zheng family as an enemy."

If the holidays are thrown away, this competition is indeed a win-win situation.The Zheng family reassured Wu Zetian of their doubts, they will live in peace, and they will gain profits by integrating the porcelain industry.Wang Hua is not without its benefits, not to mention gaining fame. This time is different from the battle at White Horse Temple. The porcelain kiln belongs to the Wang family. After this competition, it is tantamount to a live advertisement, which will greatly help the sales of the Wang family's porcelain.This is equivalent to getting a lot of real benefits.

But Wang Hua didn't accept this favor.If there is no help from Wu Zetian, would there be such a result?Still don't know what's going on!

He said sarcastically: "Silang, boy, if you dare to be hostile to the Wang family, to put it bluntly, I am like an old hen, but your mansion is a fierce eagle. The eagle wants to attack my chicks. Struggling hard, I was lucky enough to be saved. This is already frightening, and I still have the guts to avenge this eagle! What's the matter with you, please tell me directly."

"If Erlang really thinks like this, then it's easy to talk about. I came here today and I have two opinions. The first one is the porcelain produced by your porcelain kiln. In addition to the share given to Baolinzhai, I also want to get it. A piece of the market."

Hearing his words, those businessmen who were sitting down drinking tea and chatting were not happy.But they are not Wang Hua after all, they just dare not speak out.

"Anyway, your family doesn't do business, and you're making friends in East and West. I believe Erlang won't reject my proposal."

This is the status quo of the Wang family. Without good sales channels, they can only hand over the porcelain to merchants, so the profits they get are also severely reduced.But even if Wang Hua is talented, he would not dare to intervene in this aspect unless his agent's plan is successful.After all, the status of businessmen is very low now. Although the status of craftsmen is also low, their reputation is still better than that of businessmen.If Wang Hua goes into business directly, it may be a great hindrance to his career.

The simplest example is that during a palace banquet, brothers Wu Sansi and Zhang Yizhi invited Song Bazi, a great merchant in central Sichuan, to the banquet.Wei Anshi knelt and played: "The merchant is a pariah, so he should not attend this banquet in advance." After the performance, he immediately ordered Bazi Song to be kicked out.Wu Zetian also rewarded him for his straightness!Not only that, the Tang Dynasty's scientific examination was very loose, anyone could let you take the imperial examination, only untouchables and businessmen were not eligible.

Therefore, Wang Hua is in favor of this industry. Without business, there is no life. Without businessmen to revitalize the entire industry, relying on agriculture, there is no way to solve the land crisis in the Tang Dynasty.The Song Dynasty did a good job at this point, with less land and a larger population, but its wealth ranks first among all Chinese dynasties.Not to mention that there was no large-scale peasant uprising caused by land invasion and annexation.

But under the general situation, Wang Hua is also deeply afraid of this industry.

What Zheng Shilang said made sense.You have a close relationship with Baolinzhai, and I don't share that share, but now your family has not two porcelain kilns, but five, and the production has been expanded, and we want some of the porcelain produced by them.This is also a rational approach to maximize the interests of the Zheng family.If Wang Hua refuses to agree, it will really be a serious prejudice against the Zheng family.

Wang Hua smiled and said: "Silang, your Excellency, don't say that those kilns belong to the Yu and Du families. And I have also seen that after this integration, the porcelain you fired is also very exquisite. Why are you still interested in the boy's porcelain?"

Zheng Silang leaned into his ear and said: "Although my family is huge, you also know how many people in my family are waiting to be supported? I don't think it's too much money. And this time, our Zheng's mansion is also somewhat discounted." A little face, you also make a little statement, let us go down a small step."

It's pitiful to say.

However, Wang Hua really couldn't refuse.He said: "Okay, you can discuss this matter with my father."

Zheng Silang cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Erlang."

His attitude has always been very polite, and he didn't look angry or domineering at all because of the competition.

Many people who don't know the truth are also amazed by his behavior. This is the demeanor of the aristocratic family.

Zheng Silang said again: "The second reason for coming is your invitation."

As he pushed Xiao Zhengqian out, he asked again: "It's just that I don't understand why Erlang is interested in this brother in my family. If I guessed right, you have never met before."

This question is profound.

Wang Hua paused before saying: "Didn't you just say that you want me to show kindness to your Zheng family. Is this goodwill?"

Zheng Silang nodded, but slandered in his heart, this is obviously an excuse.

Wang Hua also knew that this kind of explanation would not work, so he said again: "Shiro, there is nothing else, but I saw his plain clothes just now, and I remembered what happened to me a few years ago, and I heard you said that he was very talented and produced Nothing but the feeling of sympathy."

Having said that, he gestured to Zheng Qian and said, "Please."

He took him to the study in person, and said: "These are the words and paintings I wrote. I usually give some to others. There are not many left. You can choose whatever you want."

Zheng Qian nodded happily, he had seen many calligraphy and paintings, and these calligraphy and paintings displayed many techniques, which he had never seen before.Although some methods are not very successful, but for myself, it will point out many directions.

After looking at this, I can't bear to let it go, and after looking at that, I can't bear to let it go.

After Wang Hua saw it, he laughed. This person will be an important Confucianist in the Tang Dynasty in the future, and Wang Hua respects his personality.So Wang Hua said: "If you like it, take it all away."

After hearing this, Zheng Qian was overjoyed and thanked repeatedly.

Wang Hua sent him out of the study room, and Zheng Silang was even more at a loss when he saw his younger brother holding a big hug in his arms.This is not to send one or two calligraphy and paintings, it is possible that Wang Hua sent all his manuscripts.Now that Wang Hua's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, don't look at these manuscripts. If they really want to sell them, each one may be worth a few taels of silver.

As for the reason Wang Hua just said, Zheng Silang didn't believe it at all.

Why he would value his brother so much has become a mystery.

Zheng Qian is choosing calligraphy and painting, and he and Wang Yi have also talked about it.Facing the Zheng family, Wang Yi was not as comfortable as Wang Hua, and Zheng Silang did not deliberately suppress them, so the negotiation was very successful.After talking well, Zheng Silang was about to leave, but before he left, he said to Wang Hua: "I have heard a little about Erlang's family affairs. Especially my lord mother and elder sister, I admire them very much. Here I bring Here are two presents."

As he spoke, he took out two exquisite jade pendants from his bosom.It was handed over to Wang Hua's mother and Dafeng, but it was only in front of Dafeng. Now that Dafeng has no worries about food and clothing, his appearance has become a little tidier. He turned to Wang Hua and said, "I heard that sister Ling is not married yet."

Wang Hua became vigilant when he heard this, and said, "Your Excellency, I don't need to worry about my elder sister's affairs."

Zheng Silang remembered what he said to his thirteenth brother, his bottom line is personality and family happiness, he laughed and said: "Don't be nervous, don't worry, I am kind, after all, I have more contacts than you, maybe I can help you My sister is looking for a good family. Since you don't agree, forget it."

As he said, he cupped his hands: "Farewell."

Wang Hua looked at his leaving back, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.He didn't believe that Zheng Silang would really show kindness to him.But Wang Yi was very happy. Although his son was very arrogant, compared with the Zheng family, he was like a lamb colliding with a mighty bull, and he was terrified when he saw it.

It's a good thing that the handshake is now over.

For this reason, he distributed a red envelope to each poor family in the clan.

This made the tribe burst into cheers again.

The banquet did not end until evening.

The next day, Wang Hua did not go to Luoyang immediately, but refired the porcelain.

When he went to Luoyang this time, Wang Hua still didn't know why Wu Zetian called him, or when he would come back.He doesn't have to worry about the two kinds of fixed porcelain, mainly new porcelain, which must be passed on to the craftsmen again.Colored porcelain is not on the agenda, and the success rate is too low. If Wang Hua doesn't operate it himself, there is no hope of success at all.

The main ones are tea powder glazed porcelain, sauce glazed porcelain, imitation Jun porcelain, and imitation Ru porcelain. There will be many defective products at the beginning, but as the craftsmen mature, the defective rate will decrease immediately.Now these kinds of porcelains can be said to be the highest achievement in the porcelain industry, except for the secret color porcelain that has a lower success rate and cannot even be officially put on the market, which will bring huge profits to the Wang family.

Before Wang Hua left, he had to be a guide.And Xiaoyu is really not happy anymore, this master is nothing now, but will be great in the future, she cannot be allowed to hold grudges in her heart, so she has to burn some fine products and bring them to Luoyang as a favor.

In addition to this point, Wang Hua also announced the management and learning rights of Song Wen and Xiao Yayu, making them other than their father, another person who can freely master a full set of skills.He also taught them with his own hands in the past few days, let's stuff the duck, fill as much as you can.

Wang Yi did not object to this approach.

The Wang family is too weak and needs help.But after Wang Shen's incident, even the tribe couldn't believe it.Now these two people have simple backgrounds and are good candidates to let go.

A few days later, Wang Hua came to Luoyang.
But Wu Zetian ordered people to take him to the palace immediately.

This is the first time Wang Hua entered the palace.

He was taken directly to Miyagi, Wu Zetian's bedroom, looking not far away, he could see the Ningbi Pool shining brightly under the summer sun.

Seeing Wu Zetian, she asked with a straight face: "Wang Xiaoer, I ask you, when did I let you come to Beijing until now?"

Wang Hua was taken aback by her angry question, it really is unpredictable.But he wasn't nervous either, and he wasn't from Li Tang's royal family, so he posed a threat to her, so there was no need to behead him for this reason.

He calmly replied: "Your Majesty, although I don't know the reason why Your Majesty summoned you to Beijing, so I arranged some trivial matters at home, which delayed the time. Please forgive me."
Wu Zetian snorted coldly, and then asked: "Then I ask you, do you understand what I mean when I said that day to Shiro Zhengfu?"

"Young minister seems to understand a little bit."

"Then do you think I did the right thing?"

"Your Majesty is wise, Zhang Youchi is the way of a king."

"Then I ask you, why did I frown when I saw you that day?"
Wang Hua never dreamed that it would be a good thing for him to enter the palace as soon as he saw Luoyang, but Wu Zetian was unreasonable and didn't talk about other things, only to blame.That's not a good sign.

He made up his mind and replied: "Report to the emperor. Yugong is beneficial to the country. After all, these big families are not all treacherous and sycophants. There are indeed countless talents, such as Li Qiao and Li Shilang. It's not a good thing. But rest assured, Your Majesty, you can't abolish the government because of personal interests."

Hearing the latter sentence, Wu Zetian was so fascinated, but she didn't let Wang Hua go, and continued to ask: "Since you know that you can't abolish the public for private reasons, why did you arrange the trivial matters at home when I summoned you?" , just came to Beijing? This is not abolishing the public because of personal interests!"

Wang Hua was speechless, and it took a long time before he replied: "Your Majesty, that little, little minister doesn't seem to be an official yet, so it's not an official business."

"What is an official is a public matter! What is a public is a private matter! You are slandering! You also wrote to Ji Qing that if you live in a high temple, you will worry about the people; if you are far away, you will worry about the king. This sentence is greatly appreciated, I never thought that you are a villain with a double heart and a good face!"

The big hats are coming, although Wang Hua has a good manner, it also makes Lao Wu dumbfounded
