Chapter 155 A little trick

Perhaps because he was unwilling to demote the Yuezhou Kiln, someone stood up and spoke for the Yue Kiln.

"The secret color of Yue Kiln is for Korean merchants. Yue Kiln dare not claim to be the best in the world. I only say that if there are ten kilns in the world, Yue Kiln is one of them. Not to mention that Yue Kiln is not good, it is also a fellow me. And then..." The old man also took out a tea bowl: "My Ruzhou kiln, Tianqing Cup!"

Because of Liu An's existence, the Ru Kiln, which was originally rising in the Southern Song Dynasty, appeared in advance.

Someone said, "It's a pity that's only one."

"Oh! It's true that this one is the only one. If I give me another one of Ru Kilns, there may be a complete set of treasures."

At this time, on the first floor of Zhaixing Pavilion, Liu An was accompanying Liu Chenggui to admire the porcelain.

Liu Chenggui held his hands behind his back: "Official records show that there are 174 kilns with some fame, and countless people are not famous. In my opinion, more than half of them can produce fine products, and there are no less than thirty treasures. This..."

Liu Chenggui stopped, walked to a display stand and stopped. After careful observation, he said, "This is from Fuliang, or an unknown small kiln, which is extraordinary." After that, Liu Chenggui took out a pair of gloves that Liu An had prepared, and gently took a small cup and held it in his hand.

"It's very light, this blue and white porcelain is burned well."

At this time, Jingdezhen was still called Fuliang, and it was not changed its name. This set of tea set is very close to eggshell porcelain and is exquisitely made.

Liu An pointed not far away: "Uncle, look at that, Heizhang!"

"No, not bad." Liu Chenggui had no intention of talking to Liu An any longer. Even the palace chief manager who had seen many treasures exclaimed.

This time, according to Liu An's request, about half of the kilns that came to participate in were officially recorded in the Song Dynasty.

Just this half also shows the profound heritage of porcelain.

There are not only porcelain here.

A huge screen, Su Xiu, and Ba Jun.

Liu Chenggui stood in front of the screen and couldn't move: "'The King's Eight Dragons' Horse' is divided into Chiji, Thie Li, Bai Yi, Julun, Shanzi, Quhuang, Hualiu, and Green Ear Eight Horses."

Liu An was next to him: "Is it worth 500 stag?"

"One thousand guan, sell it to me." Liu Chenggui smiled and shook his head: "This embroidery is amazing, it depends on the meaning of the official family."

The wooden screen, which is eight feet tall and three feet long, accounts for about two-thirds of the embroidery mouth, and it just so happened that eight horses were embroidered on the eight screens. It is the pinnacle of Suzhou embroidery.

Finally, there is Jin.

Brocade is just one of the fourteen categories of silk fabrics in the Song Dynasty. Brocade may not be the most expensive, but brocade is definitely gorgeous.

Golden silk makeup.

Liu An liked the brocade very much, but Liu Chenggui said to Liu An: "This technique is a very complex weaving method. Not only brocade, but also in the palace, there are many satin, silk, silk, silk, and yarn. This part is not enough to get the first name. Although it is very beautiful, it is not worse than in the palace."

"Okay, open the door. The family goes upstairs to sit down."

Because Liu Chenggui is going to take a look first, the Zhaixing Pavilion has not been opened yet.

Watching Liu Chenggui go upstairs, Liu An turns around and leaves through the back door.

There is a small house in a construction site in Zhaixing Pavilion that was temporarily suspended. There is a small house where Tie Tou takes people around five people who are not dressed as Song people.

When Liu An entered, the five people quickly bent down.

Tietou came into contact with Liu An, put on a chair and let Liu An sit down. Then, Liu An asked, "Are they reliable?"

"Master, reliable. The unreliable two people have tied stones and threw them into the river. This is the book of loyalty they wrote." Tietou held the book of loyalty for Liu An, with the signature on it and five bloody handprints.

The content is very interesting.

As Koreans, even the King of Goryeo was scolded for their loyalty. This letter of loyalty was leaked. Not only did they have a home to go back, but their whole family would definitely suffer.

Liu An shook his head: "It's too harsh."

"Master, they asked to write this on their own initiative. I just told them to give them a chance to be loyal to the Lord. When they heard that they could make a fortune, they took the initiative to write this on their own initiative."

Liu An nodded, and then said to the five people: "You should speak Chinese well when you can come to my Song Dynasty to do business. I'll say you can listen, if you have any opinions."

"Yes!" The five people bent even lower.

Liu An said, "Two ships, one of them is full of copper, and in addition to copper, there are also one hundred kilograms of golden sand and five thousand kilograms of silver ingots on the other ship. There is a purchase list here, you can buy it according to the order. But after discussing the price, don't rush to pay. Come over and ask me, the Navy of the Song Dynasty, to protect you and go home."

Tietou waited for Liu An to finish speaking and handed over a list.

After the five people finished reading it, they copied one by themselves. Liu An burned it on the spot.

Then Liu An asked, "Why did you have to protect you from the Navy?"

One person stepped forward: "If you want to go back to the scholars, because the Liao people are rampant, I, the Koreans, yearn for the Song Dynasty, but were forced by the Liao people to pay tribute every year. We will not only be exploited by the Liao people, but also be robbed of property by the Liao army, or we will go back directly like this. Once we meet the Liao army, we will inevitably have to buy a way with money and lose at least one-third of the property."

"Good answer, keep going."

"So, we ask the Song army navy to protect it. If there is protection from the Song army, we will transport a large amount of copper, silver, gold, gems, and medicinal materials every year. If we cannot obtain protection, we can only do some low-quality goods business, and then only purchase low-quality linen and low-quality tea on the list."

Liu An stood up and said, "Go."

“Yes, bachelor.”

The trade between the Song Dynasty and Goryeo has been cut off for ten years. Over the past ten years, Goryeo merchants secretly came to the Song Dynasty, but it was not a system or had enough scale.

Moreover, because Goryeo turned to the Liao Kingdom, it no longer paid tribute to the Song Dynasty, and the merchants of the Song Dynasty did not like Goryeo businessmen.

Liu An admired this very much.

Merchants are pursuing profits, but the merchants in the Song Dynasty are very honest. Not only are small merchants and hawkers, but big merchants are definitely honest.

When the five Goryeo masters retreated, they would do it as Liu An ordered.

They are the real profit-seeking businessmen.

Liu An underestimated them. In addition to the two ships given by Liu An, they also brought eight ships of thousands of hu of ships, containing Goryeo specialties, including about 70 kilograms of gold and 200 good horses.

In the Song Dynasty, one hu was five dou and two hu was one stone.

A five hundred stone ship is not a small boat anymore.

There is a detail in it. These people were cleaned up by Li Huan before they got close to the coastline of the Song Dynasty. After being hungry for a few days, they sent someone to send them back to Liu An. In Li Huan's opinion, these people might be useful.

Goryeo trade has huge profits, and Li Huan believes that Liu An needs the Goryeo people to be loyal to him.
