Chapter 197 The Battle of Wind and Cloud (True Power)

In the afternoon, there are more people here. Basically every stone table and chair brought from Luoshui has just been placed, and a group of people squeezed in. Some played chess, some played the piano, and some wrote and painted.

The square was even more crowded, with workers working inside.Actually this time Lao Wu was in a hurry.The layout of such a large-scale square requires a lot of people and takes time. For example, some flowers, plants and trees should be left around for the sake of beauty, the ground should be paved with bluestone slabs, the environment settings, the arrangement of chairs and tables, etc.

Allow at least four or five more days to roughly tidy up the square, and there will be no chaos like now.

It's really chaotic right now, with noisy crowds everywhere.

Some come to compete, some are spectators and tourists, and some are workers. Even because of the large number of people, there are hawkers who sell marinated eggs, stuffed meat buns, spiced spices, and barbecue. They set up stalls around or yell among the crowd.This is an opportunity to make a small fortune, and it is impossible for small vendors to miss it.It became a lively market.

But on the whole, it's an elegant thing.Undoubtedly, the cultural atmosphere here has improved the reputation of Dazhou and the cultivation of the people, at least it is better than the cockfights and horses on the street.Even some upright ministers came here to watch, although they are not used to the noisy environment here, but they still agree with the cultural atmosphere here.

These ministers are not ordinary people, they all have a whole body of skills.Soon found fun here too.For those who like to play chess, there are many masters here. As Wang Xiaoer said, you don't have to worry about no opponents for you to compete with, as Wang Xiaoer said.I like to play the piano and the flute, and there are also here, and there are also many masters.Calligraphy, poetry, articles, paintings, and so on!

In the chaotic crowd, from time to time there was a burst of thunderous applause because of wonderful works or the appearance of chess and piano skills.

Even people in the imperial city, which is a little far away across the Luoshui River, can hear it.As a result, a group of little princes were tempted to come out to watch.

This is the event that all talented artists dream of!

Wang Hua is also doing preparations in the palace.Other things have already been prepared, it is still a chess game!

Suddenly Zhang Sanlong led a person in.

Seeing him, Li Hong and Xiang Niao were pleasantly surprised. Li Hong stepped forward and asked, "Where's my elder brother?"

And Xiang Niao stood in front of him with concern, looked at him and asked, "How are you doing in the south?"

The person who came was Xiang Niao's eldest brother, Song Wen, also known as Zhuang Wen.

Song Xian answered Xiang Niao and said, "It's okay over there. It's not too cold in winter, but it's a little hot in summer and there are more mosquitoes. You know that too. What's more, they eat rice. Wan Dahai and the others don't even go there." Great habit. But overall, much better than Lingnan.”

Looking at Li Hong again: "Miss Li, it's okay for your elder brother to be there. He likes making porcelain very much. Oh, I forgot, I have some good news for you. Your sister-in-law, Luzhu, may be a few months later, for Your Li family has added a descendant."

"That's great," Li Hong jumped up happily, put Wang Hua in his arms, and said, "Erlang, I thank you so much."

Luzhu was her original companion, the maid in the brothel, who Xiao Yaxuan fell in love with somehow.Wang Hua saw that this little green bead was not only handsome in appearance, but also of good character, so she agreed and held a wedding ceremony 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 right after it's burnt out, but I brought a sample over here."

As he spoke, he came out again and took out some pieces of porcelain.In fact, they are all unformed porcelain, some fragments and some experimental products.

Wang Hua took them under the candlelight and lit them up.

One is blue and white porcelain, which is very similar to Ming Hongwu blue and white porcelain, which is also caused by the lack of Sumaliqing and Boniqing.The blue and white flowers on Wang Hua's three-color porcelain are also this kind of blue and white flowers.Because of the use of domestic green materials with low iron content and high iron content produced in the south of the Yangtze River, this blue and white porcelain lacks a strong emerald flavor.This kind of green material will have to wait until later, and see if it can be obtained through Dashi merchants.There is no such time now.

The second is glaze red.Looking at the samples, the technical content is already very high, at least comparable to the underglaze red in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.

There is also a kind of colorful porcelain, but because of the raw materials and technology, it is not very mature.After looking at it, Wang Hua immediately picked up a pen and wrote something, which was for Song Wen to take back for reference when he went back.

The most gratifying thing for him is that the porcelain body is already very similar to the fine white porcelain of Jingdezhen.One can imagine the impact on the porcelain market after these types of porcelain enter the market.

He said to Zhang Sanlong: "When you arrive at Baolinzhai, immediately call shopkeeper He over."

Then happily paced up and down the room again.

Outsiders may not be able to understand his concept of money, say he doesn't love money, he is desperately earning money.Say he loves money, spend money like water.Did he really want to earn a lot of money and save the world as he said?
wrong!
Relief must be relieved, and there is no lack of charity in Heart King Painting.

But can he rely on his own power to make the people of the world live a good life?

It's not that he, even Lao Wu can't do it.This is a big subject.The system of a country, the development of productivity and production technology, the improvement of transportation, the increase of food production, the protection from foreign aggression, and so on.

It seems that after the development of history to his previous life, no country has really achieved this.This is the case in the United States, and it is the same in Switzerland. There are still many poor people waiting to be fed.

But money matters.The aristocratic family has a clear understanding of this point. If there is no money, where will their power come from.Is it true that their seven surnames have the largest population?It is precisely because of money that we can educate the next generation with peace of mind, and more and more talents are produced.With talents and money to operate, power and power will follow.

This is real power.

Like Shen Wansan, he didn't operate well, and he met Lao Zhu, a master who was also decisive and cruel, which caused his death.

This kind of porcelain was really nothing in his previous life. For example, if a large vase was fired using this underglaze red technique, it would sell for a few hundred dollars at most, which is considered a good price.But this is in the Tang Dynasty!
The appearance of such porcelain will cause a sensation again.As long as each piece of porcelain is handled properly, the price is unimaginably high.Moreover, more types of porcelain, as Xiao Yaxuan brings Jiangnan skilled workers to the market, will bring more and more money to Wang Hua.

This is an important reason why he traveled around the world for a year!
Even Lao Wu didn't expect him to have such an arrangement.Especially in Jingdezhen where he stayed for nearly a month.

Unlike the Yellow River, the topography of the Yangtze River has not changed much. After passing by, he found the location of kaolin and Youchi porcelain stones, and bought the land where they were located.Today's Jingdezhen belongs to Jiangnan West Road. Because it is far away from the political center and has many mountains, it is still a place with a large area and few people.The land price is not more expensive than the war-torn areas in Hebei.With very little money, these mountains were bought.At the same time, three porcelain kilns were built.In fact, there have been porcelain kilns in Jingdezhen since the Chen Dynasty, and also in the Tang Dynasty. White clay was used, and some exquisite porcelain was fired, but it was not a famous porcelain in the entire Tang Dynasty, and the profits generated were naturally not very large.

This group of people is making new porcelain, except for the locals who are baffled, and no one in the court knows until now.

After a while, shopkeeper He came.

Wang Hua invited him into the study and showed him the samples.

Shopkeeper He first praised.After all, this is real colored porcelain.Wang Hua's glazed tricolor vase has now become a folk legend, and was kept in the palace by Lao Wu as a treasure.Only those who are trusted will take it out and let him have a look.It is more precious than the big grass placed on Zhang Yizhi's mansion.

Now that there are so many samples, he marveled for a while, and finally his eyes lit up.

Looking at his delighted and slightly questioning eyes, Wang Hua said, "Yes, the first two types can be mass-produced, and the latter type of multicolored porcelain has some problems, and is currently being tested."

This is great news.Wang Hua called him over, and shopkeeper He naturally knew that Wang Hua lacked business resources, so he handed over this new porcelain to Baolinzhai for sale again.No wonder he talked to himself some time ago and said that there was a good thing to join hands with him.

But after a while he showed strange eyes again, no, he sold all the porcelain kilns, where can this new porcelain be fired.

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 have come back now?"

"You mean?"

"As you guessed. It's on Jiangnan West Road, and now I can completely hand over the new porcelain to your store for sale. But there is one thing, your store must clear some obstacles for me, no matter where it is. Money is touching. I think You see what I mean."

Shopkeeper He nodded first, and then called out: "Gao!"

In Gong County, even Wang Hua's hometown is not enough, the seven surnames, especially the Zheng family have great influence.But it is different after crossing the Yangtze River. For example, when Wang Bo arrived in Jiangxi, if he hadn’t written a good article, he wouldn’t even be given a seat.

There, there are only some small local wealthy families and the influence of the imperial court.Of course, there are still seven surnames, and disciples who hold official positions in the court can be used to exert influence.It was different when Wang Hua pulled himself in.Officials have seven surnames, and so do the Wei family, and the Wei family also has a princess.It was enough to dissolve the influence of the seven surnames, and returned it to the local small wealthy family.Then these new kilns of Wang Hua are a paradise!
This is a real game of chess!
However, regardless of his relationship with Wang Hua, all the profits generated by acting as an agent of this new porcelain, not to mention him, even a buddy under him, knows how huge it is!
No wonder the prices of these porcelain kilns are so low.But it's not a big problem, it's still a reasonable price, although Yaoshang's own subordinates are fighting with the Zheng family.But the Zheng family is so bullish, facing their own people, they are still grandsons!

Was Wang Hua really behind him?

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.Until then, you can continue to make money for the Wei family.The real unlucky ones are other small porcelain kilns that are more backward.These two new types of porcelain, the south and the north, may completely occupy all the high-grade porcelain markets.

The most important thing is this kind of colored porcelain, even if you talk about your conscience and give up the big head to Wang Hua, the profit is still extremely rich.

Shopkeeper He immediately said again: "Okay, I will definitely handle this matter well."

Watching Shopkeeper He leave, Song Wen hesitated and said, "Erlang, there is one more thing I want to say."

"You say it."

"Now because there is no income, there is not much money left."

In fact, the master's fee was still used to buy the land. It is true that Wang Hua did not leave much money when he left.

Wang Hua called out Zhang Sanlong again: "You immediately take Fourth Brother Song back to Qingshangou, and withdraw [-] yuan from my father. And Brother Song, take all the people you favored last time, take them all away this time."

This was a task assigned by Wang Hua to Song Wen last year.Observe on the kiln that the Wang family has good craftsmanship, good talent, good character, honesty and hard work.Watch out for these people.Then write a list.Before Wang Hua came to Luoyang to sell the kiln this year, he changed all their contracts into temporary contracts so that they could leave the old kiln freely at any time.Also explained it in private.

There are more than twenty people in this group.For a family name, Wang Hua also offered a high price, so he agreed.But it was kept secret all the time, and no one knew about it.

Among this group of people, some old craftsmen have a history of firing porcelain for decades, and during this period of time they fired new porcelain.They are very skilled.Bringing it to Jingdezhen will be the backbone of the new porcelain.And there are door benefits.Because of being far away from home, everything is equivalent to cutting off all kinds of relationship networks.The only connection is the clan workers hired by the family.Nothing else will happen.

Wang Hua said to Song Wen: "Brother Xiao has a descendant, so you have to find a good girl."

Song Wen blushed.

Wang Hua said again: "You have worked hard this year, and out of the 1000 coins, [-] and [-] coins will be withdrawn, and you will share a share and keep it as pocket money."

Having said that, a smile finally appeared on his face.

During this period of oppression, I finally heard good news.

The next day, Wang Hua brought Li Hong and others to the square.

Now this square is really messy, some places have not had time to lay stone slabs, and some trees have even been dug up by their roots, and the pits have not been filled in time.There are also dozens of stone tables, but they are all messy.Guan Jian was a human being, and he couldn't see the far side at a glance. He was full of people, and people shouted and shouted everywhere. Although there were many soldiers to maintain order, it was still a mess.

The only thing is that there are several long rows of screen walls, with brown tile roofs on the top and blue brick walkways below, a bit like the newspaper outlines of later generations, where they are very majestic.

In the middle, there was a large row of people, besides Su Jijiu leading a group of Confucian scholars from the Imperial College, there were also some learned ministers from the court, they were judges.In addition, Wu Zetian once again took a group of ministers to sit on the main seat.

Isn't it early morning?
Wang Hua was not qualified to ask, but if he did, he probably only received a reprimand.

Seeing Wang Hua's arrival, the crowd immediately quieted down and made way for them automatically.

It's Dabi today!

The arrival of Wang Hua also means that the competition has begun!

PS: I start three times a day with a little over ten thousand characters.But others only changed [-] characters in two, and they actually opened a single chapter saying that it was a big hit (really? I am not a code word machine, and I haven’t eaten breakfast yet, let alone lunch and dinner, they were spelled out, [-] characters exploded?), and the front Leave it behind and catch up.Speechless.

Brothers, try harder, we believe it or not!
