Chapter 40 The Battle of the Storm
In the afternoon, there were more people in the crowd. Basically, each table and stone chair was moved from Luoshui to carry the boiling table and stone chairs, and as soon as they were placed, a group of people came over, some played chess, some played piano, and some wrote and painted.
The square was crowded with workers working inside. In fact, Lao Wu was a little hurried this time.
Such a large square layout is so crowded that it takes time. For example, for the beauty of the surrounding area, some flowers, plants and trees must be left behind, bluestone slabs must be laid on the ground, environmental settings, chairs and tables, etc.
It takes at least four or five days to roughly organize the square, and there is no such chaos as it is now.
It's really messy now, with noisy crowds everywhere.
Some are here to discuss, some are spectators, some are workers, and even because there are many people, there are hawkers selling braised eggs, meat buns, dried spices, and barbecue. They set up stalls around or yell in the crowd. This is a chance to make a fortune. The vendors will not miss it. It has become a lively market.
But in general, this is an elegant thing. Undoubtedly, the cultural atmosphere here has improved the voice of the Zhou Dynasty and the people's cultivation, at least better than fighting cocks and horses everywhere on the streets. Even after some straightforward ministers came here to watch, although they were not adapted to the noisy environment here, they still agreed with the cultural atmosphere here.
These ministers are not ordinary people, and they all have all their skills. They soon found fun here. There are many masters here who like to play chess. As Wang Er said, there are no worries about having no opponents for you to play. Not only are there, but some are also very powerful. They like to play the piano and flute, and there are also masters here. Calligraphy, poetry, articles, paintings, and so on!
In the chaotic crowd, from time to time, there were exciting works or chess and piano skills, and a burst of cheers like a sky-roaring sound.
Even people in the imperial city, which was a little far away from Luoshui, could hear it. As a result, a group of young princes were so tempted that they all ran out to watch.
This is the grand event that all talented artists dream of!
Wang Hua is also doing preparations in the palace. Other things have been prepared long ago, but it is still a chess game!
Suddenly, Zhang Sanlong led a man in.
Seeing him, Li Hong and Xiang Ming were surprised. Li Hong came forward and asked, "Where is my elder brother?"
Xiang Ming stood in front of him with concern, looked at him and asked, "Are you doing well in the south?"
The person who came was Xiangming's eldest brother Song Wen, that is, Zhuang Wen.
Song Xian replied to Xiangming and said, "It's okay there, it's not very cold in winter, it's a little hot in summer, and there are many mosquitoes. You know, and you also eat rice. They are not used to it when they go there. But in general, it's much better than Lingnan."
He looked at Li Hong again: "Miss Li. Your elder brother is fine there. He likes porcelain burning very much. Oh, I forgot, I will tell you good news. Your sister-in-law, Miss Luzhu, may add a future generation to your Li family in a few months."
"That's great." Li Hong jumped up happily, hugged Wang Hua, and said, "Erlang, I thank you very much."
Luzhu is her former companion, the maid in the brothel, and I don’t know that Elva Hsiao fell in love with her. Seeing that this little Luzhu not only looked pretty but also had a good character, Wang Hua agreed and also held a wedding for them in Jingdezhen.
Wang Hua smiled and asked, "Silang, what's the situation over there now?"
Song Wen said: "I don't know if it's burned out, right? I brought the sample here."
As he said that, he walked out again and took out a few pieces of porcelain. In fact, they were all unformed porcelain, some fragments and some experimental items.
Wang Hua took them to the candlelight and put them on the end.
One is blue and white porcelain, which is very similar to the Ming Hongwu blue and white porcelain, which is also caused by the lack of Su Mali blue and Bo Ni green. The blue and white porcelain on the three-color porcelain of Wang Hua is also this blue and white porcelain. Because the use of this domestic blue and white porcelain with low iron content and high amounts produced in Jiangnan, this blue and white porcelain lacks a strong green flavor. This blue and white porcelain will have to wait until the future to see if it can be obtained through the Dashi Merchant. There is no time now.
The second type is underglaze red. After looking at the samples, the technical content is already very high, and it can at least be compared with the underglaze red in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.
There is also a kind of colorful porcelain, but due to the raw materials and technical reasons, it is not very mature. After Wang Hua looked at it, he immediately picked up the pen and wrote some things. This was for Song Wen to take it back for reference when he went back.
The most important thing that made him happy was that the porcelain body was already very similar to the fine white porcelain of Jingdezhen. It can be imagined that these types of porcelain will have an impact on the porcelain market after entering the market.
He said to Zhang Sanlong: "When you arrive at Baolinzhai, call Manager He immediately."
Then paced happily in the house again.
Outsiders may not understand his concept of money, saying that he doesn't love money, he is trying hard to make money. He says that he loves money and spends money like soil. Is he really like he said, trying to break free from a lot of money and save the world?
wrong!
Relief must be relief, and there is no shortage of charitable heart king paintings.
But can he rely on his own efforts to live a good life for the people of the world?
It’s not that he can’t even do it. This is even a big topic. A country’s system, the development of productivity production technology, the improvement of transportation, the increase in grain output, the avoidance of foreign enemies, etc.
It seems that after history developed into his previous life, no country has truly achieved this. This is true for the United States and Switzerland, and there are still many poor people hungry for feeding.
But money is very important. Aristocratic families have a clear understanding of this. If there is no money, where will their power come from? Is it true that the seven surnames of them the largest population? It is precisely because of money that they can educate the next generation with peace of mind that more and more talents will be produced. With talents and money to operate, power and power will also come.
This is the real power.
Like Shen Wansan, he was not doing well, and he encountered Lao Zhu, a decisive and cruel master, which caused him to be killed.
This kind of porcelain is really nothing in his previous life. For example, using this grapefruit red technique to burn a large vase, it can be sold for a maximum of several hundred yuan, which is a good price. But this was in the Tang Dynasty!
The appearance of such porcelain will cause another sensation. As long as each piece of porcelain is properly operated, the price will be unimaginable. Moreover, there are more types of porcelain, as Elva Hsiao and Jiangnan technical workers are launched, the money it will bring to Wang Hua will also increase.
This is the important reason why he traveled around the world in one year!
No one, including Lao Wu, expected that he would have such an arrangement. Especially in Jingdezhen, he stayed for nearly a time.
Unlike the Yellow River, the terrain of the Yangtze River did not change much. After he passed, he found the locations of kaolin and Yuji porcelain stones, and used money to buy the land where they were located. Jingdezhen now belongs to Jiangnan West Road. Because it is far from the political center and there are many mountains, it is still a place with a large and sparsely populated area. The land price is not expensive than that of Hebei near the war. He bought these mountains with very little money. At the same time, he also made three porcelain kilns. In fact, Jingdezhen appeared from Chen's porcelain, and there were also Tang Dynasty. The one that can be used was Bai Shi, and there were also such exquisite knowledge and hundreds of shackles poured out, but in the entire Tang Dynasty, it was not a famous porcelain, so the profit generated by it would not be very large.
This group of people are working on new porcelain. Except for the locals, no one in the court knows it until now.
In a while, shopkeeper He came.
Wang Hua invited him into the study and showed him these samples.
Manager He first praised it. After all, this is the real color porcelain. The glaze three-color vase of Wang Hua has now become a folk legend. It was placed in the palace by Lao Wu as a treasure. It was only the trusted person who took it out and gave it a look. It was more precious than the big grass placed on Zhang Yi's mansion.
Now that there are so many samples, he admired for a while, and finally light came out of his eyes.
Looking at his happy and inquiring eyes, Wang Hua said: "Yes, the first two can be produced on a large scale, and the latter kind of colorful porcelain is still a little bit wrong and is being tested."
This is great news today. Wang Hua called him, and shopkeeper He naturally knew that Wang Hua lacked commercial resources, so he handed over this new porcelain to Baolinzhai for sale again. No wonder he said that when he was talking to him some time ago, he said that there was a good thing that he wanted to join forces with him.
But after a while, he showed a strange look again. It was wrong. He sold all the porcelain kilns and where did he burn this new porcelain?
Wang Hua smiled again and said, "Shopkeeper He, don't be surprised. Have you ever thought about how many people I brought out and how many people are back now?"
"You mean?"
"As you guessed, it is in Jiangnan West Road, and now I can hand over the new porcelain completely to your store for sale. But one thing is, your store must clear some obstacles for me, even where it is. The wealth is moving. I think you understand what I mean."
Manager He nodded first, then shouted: "Gao!"
In Gong County, it is not enough to be Wang Hua's hometown. The seven surnames, especially the Zheng family, have a great influence. But it is different after crossing the Yangtze River. When Wang Bo arrived in Jiangxi, if he hadn't written a good article, he wouldn't even give him a seat.
Where there are only some local wealthy families and the influence of the court. Of course, there are still seven surnames, and you can use your disciples who hold official positions in the court to exert influence. Wang Hua pulled himself in, that's different. There are seven surnames of officials, as well as the Wei family, and there is also a crown princess of the Wei family. It is enough to resolve the influence of the seven surnames and also shock the local wealthy families. Then Wang Hua's new kilns are a paradise!
This is a real chess game!
However, I don’t mention my relationship with Wang Hua, and I will all represent the profits generated by this new porcelain. Not to mention him, even a friend of mine, I know how huge it is!
No wonder these porcelain kilns are so low. But the problem is not big. This is still a reasonable price. Although my subordinates in the kiln are now working with the Zheng family’s horned cows. But the Zheng family is so arrogant that they are still grandsons when facing their own people!
Do you really think that is Wang Hua behind you?
Therefore, the benefits are still very good. Even if the new porcelain has an impact, all costs can be recovered within two or three years. By then, it will continue to make gold for the Wei family. The real unlucky one is other more backward small porcelain kilns. These two new porcelains in the south and north may completely occupy all the high-end porcelain markets.
The most important thing is this kind of colored porcelain, which means that one is more conscience and giving up the big head to Wang Hua, and the profit is still extremely rich.
Manager He immediately said, "Okay, I will definitely do this."
Seeing Manager He leave, Song Wen stammered again: "Erlang, there is one more thing I want to say."
"Tell me."
"Now, because there is no profit, there is not much money left."
In fact, the main fee is still used to buy the ground. When he left, Wang Hua did not leave much money.
Wang Hua called Zhang Sanlong again and said, "You should take Brother Song back to Qingshangou immediately and withdraw 10,000 yuan from my father. And Brother Song, you are optimistic about the people you are looking forward to this time, take them all away this time."
This was a task assigned by Wang Hua to Song Wen two people last year. I checked the Wang clan in the kiln with good skills, good talent, good character, loyalty and hardworking. I paid attention to these people. Then I wrote a list. Before Wang Hua came to Luoyang to prepare for the sale of the porcelain kiln, he changed their contracts into temporary contracts so that they could use their free body to escape from the old kiln at any time. I also explained it privately.
There were more than 20 people in this group. One of the surnames, Wang Hua also made a high bid and agreed. But he still kept it hidden and no one knew about it.
Among this group of people, some old technicians have had a history of burning porcelain for decades, and during this period, they are very skilled in burning new porcelain. They are very skilled in taking them to Jingdezhen and will be the backbone of new porcelain. And there are also benefits. Because they are far from their hometown, all of them are cut off from various networks of relationships. The only connection is the clan workers they hired. No other things will happen.
Wang Hua said to Song Wen again: "Brother Xiao has descendants, you also need to find a good girl."
Song Wen's face turned red.
Wang Hua said again: "You have worked hard this year. You have collected 1,200 weddings from this vast world. You guys will share a share of one, and keep it as pocket money."
Speaking of this, a smile finally burst out on his face.
The oppression was too strong during this period, and I finally heard good news.
The next day, Wang Hua and Li Hong and others came to the square.
The square is really messy now. In some places, there are not enough time to lay stone slabs, and there are even some trees dug up even the roots and the pits are not enough to fill. There are dozens of stone tables, but they are placed in a mess. The key is people, and they can't see at a glance, and they are all people, and people shouting and shouting everywhere. Although many soldiers maintain order, they are still in chaos.
The only thing is that there are several long rows of walls, with brown tiled roofs on top and blue bricks below, which is a bit like the newspapers in later generations, and it is very majestic wherever it is.
In the middle, there were a large row of people sitting. In addition to Su Jijiu and a group of great scholars from the Imperial College, there were also some learned ministers in the court who were judged. In addition, Wu Zetian once again sat on the main position with a group of ministers.
Didn't you go to the morning court?
Wang Hua was not qualified to ask, but he had it, and probably he was just a scolding.
Seeing Wang Hua arrive, the crowd really calmed down and automatically gave up a way.
Today is called a big competition!
The arrival of Wang Hua also means that the competition has begun!
Defense: I started every day with 30,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words, but others only had 20,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,000 words of 10,0
Dear brothers, work harder, do we believe this evil?
