Chapter 264
Wang Hua opened the greeting card, and there was a line of small words written on silk: The concubine's heart is still there, where is the king's heart?
Wang Hua looked at it and had a good time. What does this little bag mean?A few days ago, with a large group of servants, they smashed the store of the Cui family, why are you asking this question seriously now?

Even public opinion among the people has accepted his affair with Li Gu'er.But thinking of this, he suddenly frowned. Now that his deeds spread, Xiao Yuzhen swore to follow him to the death, which made the common people accept him even more.What is true love, I have given my life to accompany you, there is still a love in the world that is more real than this feeling.

Of course, the common people didn't blame Wang Hua, just like a beautiful woman, there are many men pursuing her around her, even if she has a good tutor, there are still an endless stream of people proposing marriage.It is normal for a strange man to be surrounded by many beautiful women.Is there a man more magnificent than Wang Hua in the world?In Wendou Tianxia, ​​the huge seven surnames surrendered in two rounds. With [-] soldiers, they defeated [-] elite Turkic cavalry, and killed nearly [-] Turkic soldiers successively.

It is not surprising that such a man has two noble women beside him.Even more is not surprising.

But Wang Hua began to be at a loss. Although Xiaoyu is really small, how can he do such infatuation?Or maybe his heart really parted a bit and went out.Maybe Li Bao'er thought of this keenly, so she used this strange way to express her worry.

After thinking about it, he went to the study and took out a few brushes he had prepared.This is what he plans to teach Fubing to make new brushes.But because of their ability to master art, Wang Hua put the matter aside until the Turks invaded.This thing is like ending without a beginning.

When the ancients looked at brushes, the most important thing was the bristles, which are used for writing. How can we do without good brush bristles?Just like Wang Hua, when his family got better and he switched to a good brush, the quality of the paintings and characters he drew immediately improved several levels.If you want to be good at work, you must sharpen your tools.

But it is different in the collection field. In later antique collections, only the barrel of the pen was discussed, regardless of the brush hair.For example, more than 50 yuan of lacquer-drawing gold continuous pattern brushes were auctioned. The whole body was painted with ink lacquer. The main drawing was golden dragon and phoenix patterns, supplemented by flower patterns.Its value lies in the barrel.There are also five-color pens with flower-piercing dragon patterns for nearly 40 yuan, black lacquer pens with golden dragon and phoenix patterns for nearly 50 yuan, Jiaqing-style painted cloud-dragon pens collected by the Forbidden City, etc., all of which are won by the pen tube, not by The brush wins.

The raw material of the pen barrel has also changed from bamboo to ivory, jade, and porcelain.However, these writing brushes have really changed from use items to handicrafts. When using them to write, they are not as good as bamboo writing brushes because of the uneven center of gravity.But having said that, if someone really buys such a writing brush at a high price, how many people would be willing to use such a beautiful tattoo on a thin brush barrel?
Wang Hua wanted to enter this route at that time, but it was more difficult than drawing in ink. Seeing the level of the soldiers, Wang Hua had to wait for time.After the Turkic incident, there is no need to wait, there are only [-] people left plus myself, everyone will be promoted to official positions, and will they become craftsmen again?
In addition to the pen, there is one more thing that can make many things.
砚！
Most of the inkstones used today are clay inkstones. Duan inkstones and She inkstones appeared in the Tang Dynasty, but it was later, because Wang Hua also paid attention to them, and no one saw them in the market.Maybe it still appeared, but this kind of stone inkstone has not attracted attention until now.

Mud inkstone, also known as Chengni inkstone, is made of fine mud accumulated in Cheng Dynasty. Among them, Guozhou (Jiang County) is the first inkstone in Tang Dynasty. The sewn silk bag is sunk into the bottom of Fenshui River. Years later, the bag is filled with mud, dried in the sun or in the shade, carved with a bamboo knife, mixed with rice bran and yellow cow dung, fired, and then steamed with ink wax and stored rice vinegar. Its quality is as hard as stone.The Baoshan Chengni inkstone produced in Baoshan, Shanghai is also very famous.The color of the clay inkstone is eel yellow at the top, green with green head at the second, and rose purple at the third.

In addition to this kind of clay inkstone, there is another kind of inkstone, which is more famous and more expensive.Bricks, tiles and inkstones of Qin and Han Dynasties.

The bricks and tiles used in the famous buildings in the Qin and Han Dynasties are very similar to Chengmu, because they are doped with many metal components, the texture is fine, the weight is clear and the sound is clear, and because the Qin bricks and Han tiles have patterns, they have an antique flavor.This kind of inkstone is also a hot item in the antique world. For example, a brick inkstone made in the first year of Huang Wu made by Soochow of the Three Kingdoms, which was used by Wu Changshuo, a master of traditional Chinese painting, was auctioned for a sky-high price of 66 yuan.

But not all bricks and tiles of the Qin and Han Dynasties can be used to make inkstones. Bricks are Kuang bricks, and the requirements for tiles are more stringent. They are tile heads, which are the highest row of tiles covering the eaves.How many tiles are there in a palace, and all the tiles are outside, so they are easily damaged by wind and rain.Therefore, the price of this kind of inkstone has remained high.

Then there is the stone inkstone, which is different from the original taste of Qin and Han bricks and tiles.This kind of inkstone requires a higher art appreciation ability, some are polished with the original stone texture to form natural patterns, and some need to be carved.

Wang Hua picked up a brush, thinking about this question in his mind.

Whether it is porcelain, ink, inkstone, or even other handicrafts, the main thing that is lacking now is art workers.There are painters, first of all, they may not be able to combine paintings with utensils, and second, they are slightly famous, and they don't bother to engage in craftsmen.

In fact, there is another way, to join hands with Baolinzhai and use the large amount of human resources of the Wei family, this problem will be solved easily.But this kind of situation is the last thing Wang Hua wants to get. If the final result of joining forces with these families is to tear the face, the precedent of the Yu Du family will be the later result of the Wang family.It's really not good, they have mastered the technology and opened a new stove, and the Wang family also has nothing to do.

He was thinking about something on his mind, when Jing Zhiyang came over, he also drank too much, so he slept in Wang's house.I just woke up now, and said goodbye with embarrassment.Wang Hua suddenly had an idea and said, "Jing Zhiyang, I have something to discuss with you."

"Captain, what's the matter?"

"This time the Turkic invasion killed a lot of prosperous people. Although the imperial court reduced the tax for three years and provided some assistance, the main young and middle-aged people of these families were killed, and life will be very difficult in the future. "

Jing Zhiyang lowered his head sadly.But he was even more grateful to Wang Hua in his heart. Wang Hua had already done a good job for the people of Fanjun. Even if all the money of the Wang family was moved out, there was still no way to feed the suffering people of Fanjun.

Wang Hua said: "But I have an immature idea, and I don't know what the people in Fanzai think. If this idea matures, it will once again solve the crisis of a large number of Fanzai people."

"Captain, please tell me," Jing Zhiyang said happily, after all, it's a fancier who doesn't want his hometown to be good.

"It's like this, you also know that I'm the best at some crafts," this is what Wang Hua is most proud of, plagiarizing poems and essays, but the crafts are indeed mastered by himself.

Jing Zhiyang nodded, Wang Hua started out with lacquer porcelain, and the two competitions spread all over the world.

"I have opened several porcelain kilns in the south. It is possible to expand the scale of production. There are other things that also require various workers, especially those who can paint. I want to hire some families whose families are particularly difficult and who have suffered the most damage. The people in the south of the Yangtze River went to the south of the Yangtze River, and while doing work for them, they also hired some painters to teach them or their children to study and paint. I was responsible for these expenses, and the treatment at the kiln was also very generous. The most important thing was that there was no threat of war. But I I don’t know, are the people of Fanzu willing to leave their hometown?”

If this matter is successfully handled, it will also reduce the guilt in Wang Hua's heart.For the seven surnames, for Wu Sansi, and for Wang Lidan, he can conspire and plot tricks, retaliate, but after all, those are ordinary people.This is also the biggest difference between him and Wu Sansi.

And because of their help, these people are grateful and have higher loyalty.This is not because Wang Hua wants to be enslaved, because the higher the loyalty, the higher the value created, the greater the benefits, which in turn can return them more salary.This is a complementary process.

Jing Zhiyang still had a gloomy expression on his face, and he replied: "Thanks to Captain Wang for his kindness. If it is true what Captain Wang said, I believe that some people who can't make a living will definitely be willing to go to the south of the Yangtze River with Captain Wang. After all, the hometown Yes, facing the threat of Turkic, unable to survive, there is a good way out or choose to leave. Besides, the common people know that Wang Duwei is kind to the people, Jiangnan is not Lingnan, it is a good place. It is scary because of Wang Duwei’s kindness , but it doesn’t work. One is that people in the county are not released, and the other is that it is not in line with the court’s law.”

The court decree prohibits the migration of the people, and the local management is also very strict. After all, taxes are collected according to the head.If the people run away, who will collect the county's taxes?
Wang Hua smiled and said: "As long as the people are willing, it can be done. You forgot one thing. Now the imperial court exempts tax for three years, and it is generally impossible for county magistrates to stay in one county for three years. Therefore, there is not much opposition. Still We migrated the most difficult people. Even if they can collect taxes, they cannot collect taxes from these people. The same is true for the country. If I move to Jiangnan according to my method, because they have created value, The country can collect taxes again. In terms of frontier defense, most of these young and middle-aged people died in battle, and they have no effect on frontier defense. So I will report this matter to the emperor, and it will definitely be approved."

Jing Zhiyang thought for a while, then knelt down abruptly, and said, "Young Daifan, the common people thank you."

"Get up, I'm just doing something within my ability. Respect the captain, don't worry about it."

"Yes," Jing Zhiyang stood up, with tears in his eyes, and also a little ashamed, thinking that he was about to be promoted and made a fortune, and he forgot the sufferings in his hometown, but he was always thinking about it as a foreigner.Are you still alone?

"Go," Wang Hua waved.

Then let the servants go to Beishi to buy some things and start making this brush.

First use a carving knife to carve many negative lines on the jade pen tube, and then use black lacquer to paint gold to paint a beautiful picture.A clear river flows out slowly, and countless flowers bloom on both sides of the river, and the stars and the bright moon in the sky reflect each other.The whole pattern is like a dream.Then write a few lines at the front: You hold Zijiangli, I hold Baizhilan.The stars and the moon accompany the universe, and the fragrance is full of clouds.

If this picture was painted on a picture, Wang Hua could finish it in an hour, but on this small pen tube, Wang Hua didn't finish it until the next night.At this time, you can't really enjoy it, you must dry it in the shade, polish it, and then dry it in the shade.But handicrafts are not urgent. Think about it, Guozhou Chengni Inkstone, for that small bag of mud, was deposited in the river for several years.

Wang Hua put down the tools.Just as he was about to wash his hands, a report came from outside, saying that Wei Yuanzhong had come to visit.

Comrade Wei, Wang Hua ordered the National People's Congress to open the middle door to welcome him.

Entering the living room, Wang Hua asked him to sit down, and the servants served tea.Wang Hua asked: "I don't know what advice Director Wei has come here."

"Your proposal has been discussed by the Zhongshu and the Ministry of War, and it has also been approved. But there are some things that I don't know very well. First, where do you plan to train troops? Why do you take the initiative to attack the Turks to train troops? Do you know what consequences it will bring. How lucky you were to win this time, do you understand? Also, what are the criteria for soldiers entering the barracks, what kind of soldiers can enter, and what kind of soldiers cannot enter? You seem to be very vague."

Wang Hua was stunned for a moment, thinking, isn't Lao Wu trying to trick me?As for my proposal, I have never thought about it. It was purely your wild imagination in the palace that came up with this camp.

But he couldn't say, so he settled down and replied: "Director Wei, have you thought about it? How many soldiers will be needed from Longyou to Hebei if we just keep defending. Some soldiers can't go back to their hometown after staying at the border for decades, don't they?" Have you ever thought about their happiness? And what kind of morale do soldiers like this have? Let me ask you again, how much does the imperial court spend for these frontier troops a year?"

"But if you take the initiative to open the side, it may not be successful. Instead, it will attract large-scale retaliation. The common people will suffer more."

"Director Wei, do you think I don't care about the common people?"

Wei Yuanzhong was dumb, talking about character, Wang Hua sometimes "distinguishes black and white" and acts recklessly, but it is really kind to the common people.Including the support of the military and civilians, he donated a total of nearly 20 yuan.But as for myself, I didn't see any exquisite carriages, clothes, or houses he bought.Up to now, he is still wearing a green shirt, which is made of ordinary silk.This cannot be refuted.He thought for a while and asked: "Then what is the opinion of Captain Wang?"

"I also said this in front of the emperor. Blindly attacking is no good. Like Han Wu, poor soldiers dethrone the military, and the people will be poor in the end. Blindly defending is even more unacceptable. See the soldiers now? These soldiers are also The people are also the people, and the people are also poor. In some places, they want to catch people. Have you heard of the scene? It’s just that it’s not as obvious as the direct invasion of the Turks. I’m not looking for it deliberately. They are troublesome. If the Turks invade our Dazhou, I will also lead troops to invade their Turks. Their people are not as many as our Dazhou people, and they are not as rich as our Dazhou people. After fighting, they dare not invade. .Of course, within a short period of time, they will definitely retaliate, but this is a short-term pain, and when the pain is over, it will be fine."

Old Wei blinked his eyes, not sure if he was right or wrong, and asked after a while, "Then what are the requirements for selecting soldiers?"

"I'll do this myself. But the premise is that you don't want to be strong, and don't want to die."

"Huh?" Old Wei choked again, who wanted to die?
"Director Wei, this battalion has explained that it is ready to die in battle at any time. Soldiers must have the will to die. This must be explained when recruiting. Entering the battalion must have more chances of meritorious service than other battalions, but the possibility of sacrifice is very high. .If you don’t die first, how can you be born later? There is one more small request, I don’t want any disciples from the family of seven surnames, it’s annoying to see. Or don’t expect me to enter this camp as a general.”

When the seven surnames were mentioned, Wei Yuanzhong thought of another reason for coming, he said: "Wang Duwei, there is something that I want to tell you."

"Director Wei, please tell me."

"Just like this court, some officials are upright, some officials are treacherous, and all officials cannot be convicted just because of a few officials. The same is true for the seven surnames. They have contributed many elites to the Great Zhou, just because the family There are only a few scum if it is huge. This time, the emperor is going to launch a big torture because of that Cui Ban incident, which may involve many people in. For the sake of the country's stability, I also asked Wang Duwei to speak a few words in front of the emperor."

Wang Hua looked at him, and said after a while: "Very good, your reasoning is very similar to Mo Chuai, obviously the food we brought from Da Zhou was for them to eat, but they were treated as seeds, so they couldn't harvest crops. It is said that our Dazhou is uneasy and well-intentioned. It is not exquisite to bring a large amount of dowry. So they attacked our Dazhou. The people of Zhou should be beaten and killed. If you don’t fight back when you beat them, or if you scold them back, it’s for the stability of the country.”

Speaking of this, Wang Hua's face darkened and said: "This matter, Mr. Wei, I don't know what you think in your heart, so don't say more! If you talk about the matter of the seven surnames again, I'm sorry to see you off today!"

"Could it be that you don't even trust someone Wei?" Wei Yuanzhong was furious.Now he is the representative of Qingliu in the court and a model of straight ministers, but today he is questioned by this stunned young man.

"Wrong! What I see is the people of the world, not the luxurious life of hundreds or thousands of people in a certain family, bullying the market. If the seven surnames are really executed by the emperor, the minister will be the happiest. Because the hundreds of thousands of people enslaved by them The people were freed."

"You!" Wei Yuanzhong stood up angrily, his family is enslaving the people, but your family is not enslaving the people.It cannot be said that, firstly, the Wang family is treated well, and the two families earn money just to loose money.As he said in the Zhang Mansion, it is for the poor in the world to live a good life.It is completely different from the family of seven surnames.

Just as Comrade Wei was trembling with anger from Wang Hua, the doorman outside came in to report again, saying that Liang Wang Wu San wanted to see him.

Wang Hua stood up, facing this stubborn old minister, Wang Hua didn't want to waste his mouth, just in time, the beautiful old Wu came, a beautiful old man, an old stone, I'm looking forward to a dragon-tiger fight.Open the middle door again and let Wu Sansi in.

PS: Regarding the arts and crafts, since I entered V, try to compress the number of words as much as possible.Don't blame the brothers who like it, and forgive those who don't like it.Because I don't want to look at the monthly ticket list, and I don't want to log in to the starting point more.Therefore, two changes were made, each with more than [-] words.The big explosion will be three changes, four changes and five changes.But this is to repay everyone, and has nothing to do with asking for votes.Also discouraged.If you want to see the real thing, please leave a message in the book review area, the paintings in the third volume and the ink pens in the fourth volume, I will upload some pictures to the work related next month.
