After all, if you actually sell things that were awarded by the imperial court, wouldn’t that be disrespectful to the imperial court? And ordinary businessmen would never dare to buy anything like this.
Once they bought it and the court found out about it, their lives would probably be in danger. This rule was actually set by successive dynasties.
And Zhao Feng has also inherited this rule. After all, Zhao Feng often takes some relatively rare things and rewards the people below to commend their achievements or to win people's hearts.
If these people would sell these things, the effectiveness of these treasures would be compromised, and the purpose of hunger marketing that Zhao Feng hoped to achieve would not be fully achieved.
"My lord, you are joking. Since it is a gift from the imperial court, I would never dare to buy it, but please come with me for convenience."
"If there is an opportunity for us to purchase a piece of blue and white porcelain, I will be extremely grateful to you."
"What are you saying? If I can find such an opportunity for you, I will definitely live up to your expectations. There is no need to express my gratitude. As long as you are willing to do a little bit for this new city in the future, I will be satisfied.
Already."
"Thank you, sir. We will live up to your expectations by then."
After chatting with these businessmen, Xun Yu was also very happy. After all, the new city and port had just been built three years ago, and so many businessmen were able to shuttle here.
It also shows that the future here must be unlimited, and the fact that the things of the Great Wei State can make these merchants flock to them, also proves that the goods of the Great Wei State must be unlimited in the future.
This made him deeply honored. After a round of inspection, Xun Yu got off the boat. He had already decided to go back, after all, he had been out for such a long time.
He also needed to go back and take a look at his homeland. At this time, he also had a lot of supplies that needed to be brought back to the Wei Kingdom. Zhou Yu must have had this idea as well.
It's a pity that Zhou Yu can't go back. After all, one of them must guard here. If the two of them go back together, there will be no one here to coordinate.
Relatively speaking, he is more relaxed than Zhou Yu. After all, he is basically on the right track, while Zhou Yu still needs someone to keep an eye on him every day.
Thinking of this, Xun Yu left the port directly and came to Zhou Yu's house. Unexpectedly, his servants said that Zhou Yu was not at the house at this time and asked him to go to the shipyard to take a look.
After arriving at the shipyard, as expected, Zhou Yu was discussing shipbuilding with the people below.
"Gong Jin is really a busy man. I haven't seen you for a while, and he is busy with official duties again."
"Wen Ruo, please don't make fun of me. I'm not as light-hearted as Wen Ruo's place, and I can be a hands-off shopkeeper. I can't live without people for a day."
"That's why Your Majesty gave Gong Jin full authority to supervise this matter."
"Wen Ruo doesn't need to compliment me. I think Wen Ruo came here because he made up his mind to go back to the Kingdom of Wei."
"Yes, that's it. I have decided to leave for the Kingdom of Wei in the near future. And I also want to bring some supplies back. I believe Gong Jin also has something to report to His Majesty. I can escort it on Gong Jin's behalf.
"
"Thank you very much Wen Ruo. I do have a lot of supplies here, and I need Wen Ruo to help me transport them. I will order people to prepare them now. Wen Ruo can stay here for a while while I lay down the food and wine for Wen Ruo.
Happy words."
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey. It just so happens that I also need to draw up a list of supplies to bring back so that the people below can prepare them. Then I won't go back."
"Just let the people below bring the supplies over. I just happen to be here to have a drink with Gong Jin. You and I have never had this kind of leisure time in the past three years, and we can sit down and have a good chat."
"What Wen Ruo said is true. You and I have worked hard day and night, and we have never had a moment of leisure. We are really worried about failing His Majesty's trust."
After the two of them made the decision, Zhou Yu hurriedly made arrangements. Xun Yu also made a list of the supplies that needed to be shipped back and handed them over to the people below to prepare.
The two of them came to the port together. It was Zhou Yu's suggestion that Gou Yu come to the port with him to have a drink and talk. After all, he was a navy man.
Xun Yu and Zhou Yu were drinking and chatting happily in the pavilion by the port. The dishes served with the wine were all local flavors, but they were also modified with techniques brought from China.
Otherwise, the eating habits of the two of them would definitely not be used to it, not to mention the wine, which is also fine wine shipped from China.
The local wine was very spicy and bitter, making it difficult to swallow. With their stomachs spoiled by the Wei Dynasty, they would definitely not be able to eat these local wines and dishes.
Eating this delicious food and drinking fine wine, Xun Yu's homesickness became even stronger. Looking at Zhou Yu in front of him, Xun Yu couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
"Gong Jin, I didn't expect that since we have known each other for many years, it would be the first time for you and me to sit together and have a drink and talk, and it would be in this kind of scene."
"I feel the same way. I heard Wen Ruo's name when I was young. At that time, you lived in a bitter cold land in the north of the Yangtze River. I have lived in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time. I thought I would be an enemy for life, but I never expected that I would be recruited by your majesty.
"
When Zhou Yu heard Xun Yu ask this, he was filled with emotion. After all, he and Xun Yu were two parallel lines that would never intersect.
They may even be lifelong enemies, but they never expected that they would all be recruited by Zhao Feng. And regardless of their age and past.
Whether they are reused or not is judged based on their talent alone, and the two of them have lived up to Zhao Feng's expectations. They are indeed extremely talented, and the Wei Kingdom has developed to this day.
The fact that Zhao Feng was able to hand over the task of building a new city and port to the two of them with such confidence was enough to show how much Zhao Feng relied on the two of them.
"Yes, I have been reading the books of sages for a long time, and I have memorized the Four Books and Five Classics by heart. I am master of all the famous schools. But I never thought that this world could be like this."
"This man can feed himself so well, his chariots and horses can travel this far, and his ships can sail upstream without oars. Your Majesty is a god!"
As soon as Zhou Yu mentioned Zhao Feng, Xun Yu's admiration arose spontaneously. It is true that Zhao Feng brought all these modern thinking.
In the eyes of ancient people like them, it was absolutely impossible to imagine the effects that all modern technologies can achieve.
In ancient times, they were indeed like gods. If nothing else, just the early introduction of sweet potatoes was absolutely like gods to these ancient people.
After all, since ancient times, every dynasty has basically suffered from hunger, and sometimes even large swaths of people starved to death.
But Zhao Feng's action completely solved the famine. This was something that had not been solved for thousands of years since the birth of human civilization.
But it was solved by Zhao Feng's easy move. Coupled with the various vehicles and ships improved by Zhao Feng, they were even more like creations made by heaven.
They could never have imagined that all these transformations, especially those like steam turbines, were things that only appeared after the first technological revolution in the previous life.
Things like petroleum glass were very important energy technologies and manufacturing technologies even in the modern society of the previous life.
