In Yunnan, as long as it is sunny, the sky is blue and white clouds.

Zhu Gaoxu packed up early in the morning and walked to the gate of Chengyun in his corset uniform. As usual, he had to run with the soldiers first.

Princess Guo Yan and a group of women walked to Chengyun Gate Tower, and they curtsheed to see Zhu Gaoxu.

"Forget it." Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand. His eyes wandered on Yao Ji's face for a moment, and he couldn't help but think: If you talk about beauty, no one can compare with Yao Ji except Miao Jin.

Under the sunny sun, the stream of youth was faintly shining on her face, which was very dazzling. She seemed to notice Zhu Gaoxu's gaze, raised her head quietly, facing him.

Zhu Gaoxu quickly dodged Yao Ji's bright eyes and said only to Guo Wei: "You all go back, and the princess will walk slowly when she returns to the palace."

Guo Wei thanked him. When Zhu Gaoxu turned around, he heard them say, "Greatly send him off to the prince."

In this royal mansion where wives and concubines live together, Zhu Gaoxu could not find any other way, so he had to abide by some rules at this time, with the highest and lower levels, and the old and young in an orderly manner; otherwise the family would definitely be in a very troublesome situation.

At this time, he thought of his father Zhu Di's arrangements for his sons, which were mostly due to etiquette and rules. Zhu Di's favorite son should be Gao Sui, but Gao Sui was not the crown prince.

So Zhu Gaoxu could not only care about his preferences in the harem of the royal palace, but he thought it very clearly.

First of all, we must maintain the authority and status of the princess Guo Wei. After all, she is Zhu Gaoxu's first wife and married at the age of fourteen. She and Zhu Gaoxu share the same honor and disgrace, and are inseparable.

The second is Yao Ji and Du Qianrui. No matter what their identities are, Zhu Gaoxu always remembers the warmth in troubles.

At this time, he thought of Miao Jin, but his heart was confused...

Zhu Gaoxu and his soldiers ran on the wide brick floor in the front hall of the Han Palace for nearly half an hour. Then he went to the small courtyard corridor behind the study room of the front hall, washed off his sweat and changed into clothes, drank tea and had snacks, and then went to the study room to do some serious business.

Except for the ten-day holiday, he was like this almost every day. The generals and the soldiers of the three guards could spend time with him day and night.

If it weren't for this, he probably would have gained weight long ago. The eldest brother and prince grew up to that look because of the inconvenience of legs and feet and the lack of food for a long time and eating well.

While running with weight, Zhao Ping, as a personal guard general, was also in the team. When Zhu Gaoxu came to the study while taking a shower and changing clothes, Zhao Ping also changed into a armor. He put his sword outside the door and walked in with a "ding ding ding clatter".

Zhao Ping clasped his fists and said, "According to the prince's meaning, the military households of Yunnan garrison are more familiar with the mountains. The last general has selected 100 soldiers from the garrison, and the prince's mansion has escorted fifty guards. They are ready. Today, they will escort merchants and miners to the Mengyang Xuanfu Envoy Office!"

"Very good." Zhu Gaoxu reminded again, "Dusi signed an alliance with the Si family. We have the right to monopolize the jade mine in Mengyang area. Now, jade has only been found in Mengyang. Zhao Baihu has arrived in the local area and must send people to keep an eye on it, so that no one else can be allowed to start a mine."

Zhao Ping held a polite manner and said, "Get orders!"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Zhao Ping then bowed and said, "I'm going to say goodbye."

"I hope that the brothers Zhao Baihu and others will have a smooth trip." Zhu Gaoxu said kindly.

Only when monopolizes and breaks down will there be violent profits. Moreover, jade is not famous now and has not been recognized by the world. If it is just mined, there are several companies competing for price comparisons, so what else can you make a profit?

In addition, because of the fact that jade has just been discovered, many high-quality ores are present, it is easier for everyone to find rare and good ores at the beginning.

That's why Zhu Gaoxu specifically reminded Zhao Ping that no one else was allowed to get involved in the mines found.

After Zhao Ping left, Zhu Gaoxu picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Chen Xu to discuss the business of jadeite.

...

As Zhu Gaoxu expected, jade mines that have never been mined are the easiest to find rare treasures.

The first batch of jade ore was dug out from the mine pit discovered by the Meng Yangxuanwei envoy. After traveling to the warehouse of Qianhu Institution in Tengchong, he arrived at Yongchang Prefecture, the Shen family selected two ores that were hard to come by.

The small piece of material with the best quality was made into a round jade pendant and a jade bracelet.

The two items are crystal clear and shiny, but the color is very bright green... very rare! Generally, ice-type jade is transparent and not easy to produce jade; glutinous jade is easy to produce jade, but it looks a little turbid. Zhu Gaoxu has never seen these two items of jade.

He could only guess that they were the legendary glass species?

Chen Xu's family opened in the largest jade building in Kunming City. This set of jadeware was named "Heavenly by Heaven" and was sold directly above, with a price of 30,000 jin of money or gold and silver.

On the first day of the opening of the Jade Tower, the treasure was bought. News spread like wildfire, and for a moment, the dignitaries and nobles in the city were asking who bought the Jade.

...At the beginning of last year, shortly after Zhu Gaoxu became a vassal of Yunnan, his seventeenth uncle Zhu Quan was also granted the title of Nanchang.

At the beginning of the "Jingnan Campaign", Zhu Di's promise was to share the world equally with Zhu Quan; at the beginning of Yongle, King Ning Zhu Quan tactfully did not mention the matter, and only asked to be enfeoffed in Suzhou or Hangzhou. But no matter what, King Ning went to Nanchang in the end.

Uncle Seventeen is not a few years older than Zhu Gaoxu. He likes to read and is proficient in musical opera. It is said that he has thousands of actors at home.

Last year, Zhu Gaoxu wrote a letter describing the story of "Peony Pavilion" and some opera lyrics, and asked King Ning to arrange the opera. During the period, King Ning finally sent the chief secretary to send the playbook.

The person who bought the "combination of heaven" was King Ning Changshi.

So Zhu Gaoxu summoned the King of Ning in the Han Palace and wanted to buy the goods for 50,000 yuan. The King of Han Palace invited officials, famous scholars, wealthy businessmen and women to watch the ceremony. Zhu Gaoxu accepted the treasures offered by King of Ning in public in the front hall.

In front of everyone, Zhu Gaoxu ordered people to carry out two boxes of silver and put it in the hall. King Ning Changshi was also a wonderful person, and he took his followers to count the silver in the hall. A ingot of white silver swayed in front of everyone, making people dazzled and even more vulgar.

After fiddling for a long time, the silver was finally counted. At the beginning of the day, King Ning presented the "Group of Heaven" that was placed in carved red sandalwood on the throne.

The opened wooden box was placed on the court. Many of the guests and female relatives in the hall stretched their necks to see, but they were too far away and no one could see clearly.

Zhu Gaoxu said, "Come on, ask someone to come in and put it on and take a look."

The eunuch Wang Gui held the whisk and said, "I obey the order."

After a while, the beautiful beauty Yao Ji, who had already prepared, walked into the hall lightly. The hall made a sigh. If everyone did not dare to make noise in the Han Palace, the anger would probably be more than that.

Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by Yao Ji. They couldn't see the jade artifacts clearly, but they could see people clearly.

I saw Yao Ji wearing a goose yellow dress and light yellow silk, elegant and luxurious with a bit of elegance; there was no embellishment of jewelry, which was left for jade ornaments, but it made her look more reserved.

Everyone held their breath, and people probably had never seen such a bright and charming little girl in Yunnan.

"I'll pay homage to the prince." Yao Ji's face was red, and she showed a bit of embarrassed shyness when she was noticed.

Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the wooden box in front of him and said, "Put on this combination of heaven and let me take a look."

Yao Ji slowly bent her knees and said, "Yes."

When she stretched out Yubai's hand, she looked up and said softly: "Can I really wear it?"

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment because he did not have this line when he was preparing to act.

After all, it is a rare treasure, and Yao Ji should want to wear it very much; she still asked softly, which seemed redundant, but also showed a very obedient attitude. Yao Ji's character was not really submissive, but she expressed her implicit gracefulness vividly in an understatement.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and looked at her with great anticipation. She carefully and gently picked up the jade and put it on her belt, then slid the jade bracelet into her wrist.

Yao Ji's color was even brighter. There were spacious windows on both sides of the hall, and the sunlight on the east was just shining on her. Her black hair was shining, her bright black eyes, her white skin, her vermilion lips, her goose yellow clothes... and her bright green jade pendant and bracelet, the color was shining and gorgeous, which was amazing.

Many women in the hall looked straight. It was like the beauty without any flaws from the Heavenly Palace, so many women dreamed of having it.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at it for a while, slapped the handrail, and looked back at the guests and said with a smile: "Although I spent 50,000 yuan, it seems that this 'good match made by heaven' is worth the price. Humanely, gold is priceless, and jade is priceless, and it is hard to find, and it is worthy of fame."

There was a sudden echo of compliments in the hall, and many people bowed to the King of Han for obtaining rare treasures.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and asked Yao Ji to retreat with jade. She looked a little shy and excited. She walked through the entire hall from the seat and walked out of the main entrance of the hall. It seemed that she had just left Chengyun Hall, but she had actually shown it in front of the guests and women.

Everyone almost watched Yao Ji leave the hall gate.

At this time, the sound of drums and music started, and the banquet in the royal palace began to celebrate the joy of the Han Dynasty's treasure.

...When Zhu Gaoxu returned to the front palace, he couldn't help but say to Guo Wei: "Today, he showed the guests the 'good match made by heaven'. Weier is a princess with a noble status and is not suitable for those occasions. I did this just to hype the value of jade."

Unexpectedly, Guo Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry, my husband, I shouldn't show up easily."

Zhu Gaoxu breathed a light breath and said, "This set of 'gods made by heaven' cannot be owned by the Han Palace or the Ning Palace. I will call Du Qianrui to come here later. It's okay if you wear it and play with it."

Guo Wei nodded with a smile.

Zhu Gaoxu said kindly: "Meng Yangxuanwei envoy is still mining, and he will definitely find rare treasures in the future."

Guo Wei asked in a low voice: "Which is the prince's intention to buy the Heavenly Made?

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "Of course, the value of a thing needs to be constantly changed and raised to prove it. Whether it is me or King Ning, if you really want a treasure, there are ways to do it, why spend so much money to buy it?"

...

...

(Weifeng returned to Beijing in the middle of the night last night. Today, he returned to Chengdu. After a while, he resumed normal renewal after arriving at home.

I often stopped the annual meeting a while ago, and I had to stop the updates. It was really a matter of having to do so. The west wind was not a bad attitude, so I didn’t say hello to everyone... At that time, there were two situations. One was that some book friends didn’t see it because they didn’t update it, so they could only say it in the book review area or group; the other was that they made up their minds and told themselves to code for a chapter before sleeping, but they were too tired to go with the group and sometimes they fell asleep accidentally.

Just like last night I swear to update, but I had a headache when I took the plane. The quality of the code was really bad, so I really didn’t dare to send it. Later, I recoded this chapter. I won’t say much, I’m going to catch the plane and go back to Chengdu today.
Chapter completed!
