When Li Lu followed his soldiers to the porcelain kiln, the masters of the "bone china research team" headed by Tao Guang were waiting for themselves nervously, and after seeing Li Lu coming, Tao Guang hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty, please light incense and worship heaven and earth, so that the kiln can be opened!"
”Li Lu did not shirk, burned incense to sacrifice heaven and earth, bowed his head to worship the immortals, after a cumbersome ceremony, with Li Lu's sound of "open the kiln", several strong Jiankun men smashed open the sealed kiln door with a sledgehammer, and after all the fireworks inside dispersed, Li Lu Tao Guang They walked into the porcelain kiln to take a look, they couldn't help but be a little stunned, only to see a few kinds of porcelain lying quietly inside.The largest porcelain is a vigorous horse, this horse is a heavenly horse produced in the grassland of the Tunja at a glance, under the skillful hands of Tao Guang and their top masters, it appears that the shape is extremely vivid, the color is gorgeous, the flesh and bone are symmetrical, the lines are smooth, the whole body is snow-white, the four legs are erect, the ears are erect, the eyes are blazing, the horsehair is cut just right, the horsetail is flying, the muscles and muscles are protruding, and the momentum bursts out of the high-spirited, perfect interpretation of the gorgeous, noble and vigorous momentum.Li Lu stared at the bone china horses for a while, and couldn't help but be taken aback, "Master Tao, this, isn't this my Xue Xianli?"
”"Yes, Wang, it is your car Xue Xianli, the bone china you said, we found after firing a few times, after mixing bone powder, the porcelain will have good light transmittance, and it can also be made thinner, it looks crystal clear, and the feel and appearance are good, because the bone china itself presents a natural milky white because of the bone powder, that is, the white with a little yellow, this characteristic is impossible to imitate any other porcelain."
Speaking of this, Tao Guang said excitedly, "Your Majesty, as far as Lao Tao knows, no one in the world has ever been able to burn such peerless porcelain, this bone china was proposed by you, the king, and we plan to call it Wang porcelain!"
”"There is no need for this, this bone china is true that I proposed, but without the efforts of the rank, it would not have been successful today."
Li Lu didn't have a face to the point that it was a thing and was drawn to his name, "I think this porcelain is still called bone china, well, by the way, this is the first batch of porcelain in our Kunjian country, it's called Kunjian bone china!"
”This bone china is a good thing, as far as Li Lu knows, its biggest competitor thin tire porcelain has not yet been born, so in this way, high-end porcelain is the only one of the scorpions.Seeing that the king of his own family did not name this new porcelain with his name, and once again affirmed the achievements of these craftsmen, Tao Guang and their craftsmen were very excited, Ma Dan, when they were in the Central Plains, they also fired porcelain, but which dignitaries and nobles could sympathize with them like this and affirm their achievements?
As the so-called soldier dies for his confidant, these honest craftsmen believe that Li Lu is their real king, and now Li Lu said that there is a pit in front of them, and they want to jump in, and they also jump in without hesitation."
Wang, when the old minister was in the Tang Dynasty before, he followed the Wang family business to walk around and run west, this porcelain has also seen a lot, Yue kiln celadon, Xingyao white porcelain, and Changnan Town (now Jingdezhen) porcelain, the old minister has seen it, but he has not kept up with our Jiankun bone china, if it is trafficked to the Tang Dynasty, just these few pieces of bone china, it is difficult to find gold!!
Following Li Lu to come, Ma Changqing, who has become the deputy director of the Commerce Department of Jiankun State, excitedly picked up the flower-blooming rich porcelain plate, on the almost transparent milky white porcelain plate as thin as cicada wings, a magnificent peony with buds to be released, Tao Guang, who is good at painting on porcelain, used a technique similar to three-dimensional image painting, so the whole lifelike peony was presented in front of everyone with a strange scene as if it came out of the plate against the backdrop of green leaves, which was particularly joyful and rich.Comrade Lao Ma took the porcelain plate and shone it on the butter candle lit in the porcelain kiln, and the whole porcelain plate was the same as the jade plate carved from white jade, "What a good baby, Lao Tao, is this thing troublesome to produce?"
What's the yield?
”He really deserved to be the shopkeeper, and asked substantive questions at once."
Hey, this thing is good, but it's not easy to fire.....
The porcelain will become excessively soft.......
Besides, peat must be used to fire bone china, firewood and charcoal are not good at all, thanks to a large open-air peat field in the west of the city......
"Tao Guang poured bitter water, it turned out that when the bone meal content reached a certain proportion, the quality of porcelain would be greatly improved, which was mainly reflected in the gloss and moisturizing degree of the vessel.But if the content exceeds a certain proportion, the composition of the clay will be relatively reduced, the porcelain will become excessively soft, the easier it is to burn in the production process, and higher technology is required in forming, which increases the difficulty of firing, so it is more precious, plus the bone china firing also requires at least a high temperature of more than 1,000 degrees Celsius (of course, they don't know this degree of pottery, they only know that the temperature can not reach the firing), firewood and charcoal have no effect at all, fortunately an open-pit coal mine was found in the west of Xiling City, Otherwise, it's too early for this bone china to be born."
In that case, the old man's estimate is still wrong, and this thing has to be increased in price!!"
Comrade Lao Ma is really a profiteer, "Hehehe, it's expensive, how can it show its difference if it's not expensive?"
You say yes, right?
”Li Lu said disapprerovingly, "You should study the production process of bone china again, and strive to reduce the cost, oh, by the way, all the people involved in the bone china production process must sign a confidentiality agreement, this thing I am from the royal family and you and the Jiankun Khan Court, four two and four divides, Lao Tao, do you understand what I mean?"
”Li Lu obviously wants to block the production process tightly, just like the Venetian blocked the mirror manufacturing process.Tao Guang They don't understand what their king means, they can get two points of dry shares from this business, it is enough, you must know that the supreme ruler of Jiankun only took four points, and the other four points were taken away by the government of the Jiankun Khanate, this is a career that can be passed on to future generations, even Ma Changqing is a little red-eyed.However, he quickly reacted, these treasures are treasures, but only by replacing them with gold and silver cloth can the value be realized, and to realize the value, there is no way for them to do it?
As long as you plan well and transport these bone china to the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions, you can make a lot of profits.Li Lu is still very satisfied with Tao Guang's work, after he told Tao Guang that they fired a batch of bone china wolf, he left the porcelain kiln with two sets of bone china tea sets, and he gave one of the tea sets to Ma Changqing, because Comrade Lao Ma had previously submitted a highly feasible business development plan to him, and he was very satisfied after reading it, so he let Comrade Lao Ma be the deputy director of the Department of Commerce (the director is Kang Xin, this product is a system person, and he focuses on the macroeconomy of Kun Jianguo.Lao Ma is responsible for the specific implementation. ）, which is also a reward."
Ma Lao, your plan is very feasible, in addition to bone china, I have another thing, hehehe, when the time comes, you organize people to ship together!!"
Li Lu sold a pass, which made Ma Changqing very curious, and at the same time he admired the king he served even more, and made up his mind that when the trade route to Chang'an was opened, he would take his wife and children to Jiankun Kingdom, for no other reason, he was a lowly nationality in the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't want to be an official, and Jiankun, who was also a Han country, was different, so he wouldn't be an official?
Walking with Li Lu are also those craftsmen who can fire glass, with them as the mainstay, plus two glass masters produced by the system, it forms the first glass workshop in Jiankun, natural soda, quartz sand, these things are easy to find, plus the glass manufacturing process Li Lu bought a complete copy from the background of the system, this process can be quite advanced, about the level of the late 17th century in Western Europe, with glass, Li Lu not only has another big source of wealth comparable to bone china, More importantly, the glass industry is the prerequisite for the development of the optical industry......
Soon the porcelain kiln and the glass workshop all came up with the finished wolf, Li Lu looked at the lifelike few wolf, and laughed wildly, "Tong Ye Hu, don't you want to annex my Jiankun, the master is going to make trouble for you!!
”Li Lu's "big gift" to the Western Turkic magnates and careerists has been prepared, but I don't know how Tong Yehu and those careerists will accept it.
