When Zhu Rui was talking, he realized that dozens of burly men stood scattered around Meng Xiner's courtyard.

Obviously these are the emperor's guards.

Maybe I kept shouting "Xin'er, run slower", so I didn't stop myself.

Of course, there must be masters in this yard, so I can guarantee that I can't do anything even if I go in.

The three of them talked and laughed for a while, and the door of the small yard was opened.

A middle-aged man with white face and no beard said in a more feminine voice: "Boss Zhu, the emperor asked you to go in."

"Hey!"

Zhu Rui quickly sorted out his clothes and entered the courtyard in a regular manner.

Meng Xin'er and Liu Mingqi are now sitting on the stone bench in the yard.

Beside and behind them, those men of different sizes, looked difficult to mess with.

Zhu Rui didn't dare to look at it anymore. He stepped forward and bowed his waist and said, "Zhu Rui, a grass man, I wish you a long life, long life!"

"Get up!"

Liu Mingqi waved, "Boss Zhu, we are also acquaintances, so don't be too polite."

Zhu Rui smiled embarrassedly and said, "How can this happen!"

The young man knew that he couldn't let go, so he said, "Okay, don't be nervous. I'll come here today, it's Xie Xin'er's departure... The Empress Dowager and the Queen have agreed to her enter the palace. I have to find a good family for her and accept her as her adopted daughter. This way, I can tell you the identity after entering the palace."

Meng Xin'er muttered, but in the end she didn't complain.

She doesn't like this, but she also knows that Liu Mingqi is for her own good.

The daughter of a scholarly family or a noble family, and the girl from a flower building, feels completely different after entering the palace.

Zhu Rui nodded repeatedly, "It should be, it should be...Miss Meng is a good girl. Congratulations to her for being married to His Majesty for finally getting married!"

"Um."

Liu Mingqi said first, "I heard from Xin'er that you have been very nice to her over the years... Let's do this, let Xin'er call you a cousin in the future, how about it?"

"ah!?"

Meng Xin'er and Zhu Rui shouted at the same time.

Meng Xin'er spoke first, "You... would you like to ask me to call the boss as your cousin? What you said!?"

"Of course I said it." Liu Mingqi liked the innocent and romantic look of the little girl, and said with a smile: "You must not forget your roots in life, and Boss Zhu is also pretty good."

"No, no!"

Zhu Rui shook his hand in a hurry: "Your Majesty, Empress, how can I have such blessings? I am a...a flower building!"

Meng Xin'er was unhappy, "What? You don't force or rob, and you are willing to sell meat or not. Why are you still inferior? Without you, can we have so many innocent men get married here? Cousin, be tougher!"

Zhu Rui smiled bitterly when he heard this.

But I feel very comfortable in my heart.

To be honest, if you want to be top in every industry, you have to have some moral character and style.

He Zhu Rui's Zhuque Tower has never forced anyone.

If you owe too much money and have not paid it back when you are old and have not paid it back yet, then continue to be a madam, or be a manager... Anyway, while paying back the money, you can have some food to eat, and you can find a grave for you if you die.

Therefore, Zhu Rui is quite proud of his persistence.

Liu Mingqi had no intention of tugging with Zhu Rui, and he waved his hand, "Okay, let's do it! This is what I said, who has any objection to ask him to come to me!"

After a pause, he said, "Xin'er, go and clean up and say goodbye to everyone. Any maid who wants to take to the palace is OK."

"OK"

Meng Xin'er stood up happily, pulled Zhu Rui out, "Come on, cousin, I'm going to say goodbye to those stinky women... dare to say me behind my back... Hum!"

Zhu Rui was of course happy.

Just half-supported, he followed Meng Xin'er out of the small yard, feeling that he wanted to yell and express his excitement!

Nana's!

I am actually the cousin of the future imperial concubine!?

...

After the two left, Liu Mingqi called Nangong Qiucheng and Wang Zhiru to sit down.

Compared to Nangong Qiucheng's carefreeness, Wang Zhiru only sat on one third of his butt, which was a bit restrained.

This is in line with their personalities.

It wasn't obvious when the weather was going smoothly before, but now it can reflect their respective stress resistance.

Nangongqiu's achievements are much stronger.

"Qiu Cheng." Liu Mingqi called out and poured a cup of tea for the two of them, "Didn't you sell me a ceramic workshop before?"

"Yes." Nangong Qiucheng continued, "Is there something wrong?"

"No, it is now specializing in bone porcelain, and it is very good." Liu Mingqi said, "I remember you have a lot of research on ceramics, right?"

"I liked a lot of things before, so I have studied it a little bit." Nangong Qiu Chengheshou said: "Your Majesty, have you used this advantage of the grass people?"

He is indeed a smart person, and he can understand it at first.

Liu Mingqi smiled and said, "Yes, I'm going to let you go to Dehua County, Quanzhou to help make porcelain there, so that the more porcelain in Dehua, the better."

"Dehua?"

Nangong Qiucheng frowned, "I have heard of this place. It's a little famous in the porcelain industry, but it's definitely not as good as Jingdezhen."

"Of course there is no one that can compare to Jingdezhen." Liu Mingqi said: "But if they just want to produce medium and low-end porcelain and then supply them to various places overseas in large quantities, this is possible, right?"

"Um……"

Nangong Qiucheng said in confusion: "In large quantities... Your Majesty wants to do a large-scale porcelain transaction with the Europeans you mentioned before?"

"right."

Liu Mingqi's head, "Dehua's porcelain is exquisite, not as good as Jingdezhen, but I will teach you a trick... You specifically ask them to make white porcelain, so-called fresh ones, and eat all over the world. As long as they can make such porcelain seriously, they will have a lot of sales in Europe! It may be possible to become the second porcelain capital at that time."

Nangong Qiucheng nodded, and then said decisively: "Caomin has been decadent for two or three years. Now that he can thank His Majesty for his respect, I will give it a try!"

"It's not that you try it. You must do it well, you can do it well." Liu Mingqi raised her hand: "I'll give you three years, and by then, the output of 30 million sets will be reached every year. Is it OK?"

"I……"

Nangong Qiucheng wanted to be modest, but when he saw the emperor's eyes, he immediately changed his mouth: "I can definitely do it!"

"good!"

Liu Mingqi said: "Then you will be the supervisor of Dehua Porcelain. I will give you a sixth-rank official position, directly under the Ministry of Revenue."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Nangong Qiucheng quickly stood up and thanked him.

It is not easy to get a sixth grade when you start.

And as long as it is done, you can definitely upgrade again.

Although it is impossible to have the glory of grandfather again, it is possible to gain a marquis and counts through his contributions in the future.

After all, the emperor is our friend.

Liu Mingqi turned to the side and looked at Wang Zhiru with envious expressions, "Old Wang, I will give you a choice, you should go to another place and do the same thing as Nangong. Or you can accompany Nangong to be his deputy... Think about it carefully!"

Wang Zhiru was overjoyed when he saw this, "Your Majesty, don't think about it anymore, I'll go with Nangong!"

Seeing Liu Mingqi's surprised expression, he explained: "I know how much I have. I am not as good as Nangong's, but I am still good at getting along well with others and are good at resolving conflicts, so I should be able to be a deputy. But if I stand alone, I am afraid that my Majesty will miss your major issues because of my lack of ability!"

"All right!"

Liu Mingqi nodded, "Since you want to, then that's it! Three years later, I'll ask you for results."

"yes!"

The two of them looked solemn, but at the same time they were excited.

The emperor is indeed a kind person and has not forgotten to take care of two old friends.

Little did they know that Liu Mingqi asked the two of them to do things, of course, not just because they were their own friends.

Liu Mingqi has many friends.

Among them, Nangong Qiucheng is a very free and easy person who can take it and let it go. However, he is very young in doing things. He is born with the temperament of a leader.

In these two or three years, he went from being the grandson of a deputy prime minister to an ordinary citizen, Nangong Ji, who had no power at all, had people supervised every decision he made.

But Nangong Qiucheng never gave up on himself and still maintained his free and easy style.

Such people are suitable for developing careers.

It happened that he had a deep study of porcelain, so it was no surprise that Liu Mingqi gave him a chance.
