Chapter 612
Although this time he retreated all the followers and cut off Muzili's power.But Mu Zili is not someone else. She was originally determined, smart and capable, and things that could embarrass her were no small matter.

But Mu Zili didn't say anything.

Wang Hua didn't ask either.

He has different ideas from people in this world, even his own wife, he absolutely respects her privacy.

And among the few women, the one he believed in the most was Muzili, not him.Don't talk about Li Chiying, she has the support of the emperor and crown prince behind her, even if Li Bao'er is down, she is still a member of the royal family.Li Xuejun also has a family with strong financial resources, but Wang Han's family is the most famous family in this era, that is, Li Hong, and a brother.

But Mu Zili, besides himself, has no other relatives.If you are honored, Muzili will be honored, if you are humiliated, Muzili will be humiliated.

Then Li Chengqi stayed in Lingzhou for three days, wandering around a bit.

To his surprise, he came here once last year, but in less than a year, Lingzhou has developed again.For example, it can be seen from the clothes of the common people, and from the large number of workshops that have sprung up outside Lingzhou City.Even the original Lingzhou City could no longer accommodate the current people, and many people built houses outside the city.And there is not even a city wall.This is also a kind of self-confidence.

Li Chengqi even thought of one thing, if Wang Hua could be transferred along the surrounding areas of the Tang Dynasty, such as staying in the Northwest for a few years, then in the Southwest for a few years, or in the North for a few years.Maybe all these impoverished areas in the Tang Dynasty were solved.

This idea makes sense.

After all, the current officials are corrupt on the one hand and look down on businessmen on the other.Therefore, they are not familiar with commerce and trade, so the border is the poorest and most chaotic.In fact, this is the wrong way of governance.

There is the sea in the south and the Silk Road in the northwest.But there are also Turkic people in the north, which can stimulate economic development through the exchange of goods between the two countries, complementing each other.The same is true for the Southwest. Of course, the governance of the Southwest is more difficult, after all, the mountains and forests have become the biggest resistance.But definitely not like now.

But the question is, can the Tang Dynasty afford Wang Hua now?

Is it affordable, dare to use it, how to use it?

Three days later he left somewhat satisfied.

Wang Hua put his energy on the tripod of Kyushu again, conquering the existing porcelain technology one by one.This made Wang Hua feel that more people means more strength and more ideas.Brainstorming is the main reason for overcoming various technical difficulties this time.

Next, in addition to supervising the production of the tripod, Wang Hua also put his energy into the four types of porcelain.

Bone China, this is the only porcelain fired by Westerners.

After Chinese porcelain was introduced to Europe, it was regarded as a treasure.In the hands of Wang Hua now, the high-grade porcelain fired by several porcelain kilns in the south of the Yangtze River was exported to Europe, and could even be exchanged for the same amount of gold.The shock is not low in history, especially a piece of porcelain, which is the porcelain that Wang Hua will fire next, thin-bodied porcelain.

Europeans describe it as thinner than paper, whiter than milk, and transparent than glass.This is somewhat exaggerated.What was the value of such thin porcelain in Europe at that time, a piece of porcelain could be exchanged for an army!
It was too early to make money without profit. With such huge profits, Europeans also began to imitate Chinese porcelain, but they were unsuccessful. It was not until modern technology developed that they began to produce Chinese porcelain of various colors.But it turned out that there was no way, but I didn't expect that in this kind of research, an unexpected thing happened.

The British William Watson added bone meal to clay, and a new kind of porcelain appeared, which is bone china.

Compared with thin-bodied porcelain, it has many disadvantages. The first thickness cannot be reduced. Until the modern era of technological innovation, it is difficult to reach one to two millimeters, while the thickness of the best thin-bodied porcelain is less than half a millimeter.Second, its tone is slightly reddish, and it cannot achieve a truly high white color.The third is because a large amount of bone powder needs to be added, even if the bones do not cost money, it is so difficult to grind the bones in ancient times.So the cost is huge.

Later, the price of bone china was generally much higher than that of all kinds of porcelain in China.The reason for this is firstly that the country is backward, while the western countries are advanced, there is no way to do it, other countries are advanced, and their things are good.In addition, bone china is a special porcelain for the British royal nobles, and its price is high.Of course, it also has many advantages.

The first is that the porcelain is delicate and transparent, elegant in shape, moist in color and gorgeous in flower surface.Second, it does not contain lead and cadmium, which can be regarded as environmentally friendly porcelain.The third is that porcelain is light, strong and hard, twice as strong as ordinary porcelain, and it is not easy to wear and tear.

Why let Westerners burn it out first?
In addition, it is indeed a kind of excellent porcelain. With this mentality, Wang Hua intends to research it at this opportunity and use it as one of the 81 original patterns.

He remembered the formula, which had been burnt before, and the ratio of ashes to porcelain stone and clay was 50:25:25.

But if you don't remember this ratio, you can fire it right away.Iterative development is also required.With the help of many helpers, this kind of porcelain technology has gradually matured.

Then came the second type of porcelain, shell porcelain.Strictly speaking, it and the third type of porcelain, pearl porcelain, belong to bone china, which is the most high-end porcelain in bone china.The shell porcelain color is fired with high white mud, high white glaze and shell powder.Whiteness, transparency and gloss are superior to other kinds of porcelain, and it is one of the best porcelains in the world.And it's the only porcelain that's suitable for microwave use.

Another kind of pearl is to add pearls when firing porcelain. Many components of pearls are similar to shells, but they are more colorful than shell porcelain.However, pearl porcelain can also be classified as treasure-fired porcelain, that is, gold, silver, pearls, and agate are mixed into the porcelain body. This was done in the Ming Dynasty in China.Regardless of the cost, the ruby ​​is crushed into powder and added to the porcelain body to burn porcelain.

Regarding this method of firing porcelain, Wang Hua was speechless.

These two kinds of porcelain are beautiful, but because the cost is too high, there has been no industrial production.

However, Wang Hua only planned to burn a porcelain painting, after all, it was used on the tripod of Kyushu, so it was not a luxury.

But Wang Hua didn't hold too much respect for these three types of porcelain.It was the last kind of porcelain that made him pay attention, and it was thin bodied porcelain.

Thin bodied porcelain is also called bodiless porcelain, eggshell porcelain.The shadow celadon that originated in the Northern Song Dynasty, because of its thinness and lightness, the literati used the phrase "I'm afraid the wind will blow it away, and I'm still worried about finding sales in the future" to describe it.In the Ming Dynasty, an old man who called himself Huyin, a master porcelain maker named Hao Nineteen, made an egg curtain cup. A cup weighed 48 ounces, that is, less than a gram. One can imagine its lightness. degree.

Because of this thinness, lightness, transparency and brightness, a piece of porcelain in Europe can be exchanged for an army.

However, this kind of porcelain technology is very complicated. There are more than 40 processes in total and three firings. Trim into a thin blank of half a millimeter.It is such a thin blank that can also draw blue and white patterns or pastel patterns on it.

Wang Hua had always wanted to make paintings, but firstly, the craftsmanship was not mature, secondly, the glaze materials were not complete, and thirdly, there were not so many skilled workers to help him.

Now all these headaches have been solved one by one, therefore, Wang Hua raised his thoughts again.

But this kind of porcelain is purely for entertainment, and it is not very suitable as a porcelain picture on a tripod.

Of course, it is impossible for him to bury his head in porcelain, the entire tripod is the most important.Although this piece of thin-bodied porcelain is fired, it is truly the best porcelain in the world.

But it is always a handicraft, without the symbolic meaning of a tripod.

Therefore, he spends more than half of his time running around in various workshops every day.

After a few months, thousands of apprentices gradually became proficient, which improved efficiency.

In fact, this time, apart from the apprentices from the Northwest and Oceania, thousands of people from the major families and businessmen came in again.Wang Hua disagreed, these people said, don't want Wang Hua to provide remuneration, other even these apprentices are subsidized by their own money for food, clothing and housing.

This purpose is not to curry favor with Wang Hua, but to learn the craft.

Wang Hua had no choice but to agree.Not only them, but also their own selfishness. For example, Oceania has brought in many smart young men, but it has nothing to do with porcelain, mainly gold and silverware.

After all, there are many gemstone deposits in Oceania or in South America.But Wang Hua knows which is more important, the origin of raw materials or the processing industry.Just like diamonds produced in Africa, have they brought prosperity to the local people?No, it brought chaos instead.However, the biggest profit gainers, such as the Netherlands and other countries, are safe and sound.

Exporting raw materials is not a long-term solution, but exporting finished products is the right way.

However, with the accommodation of these apprentices, the number of people who participated in making the tripod approached 2.

But as soon as Li Chengqi left, Dafeng and Sanfeng came together, and they also came here specially to visit.

Seeing them, Wang Hua joked, "I thought you would forget about your mother's family when you have a husband."

This is a joke. At this time, women strictly control the concept of married daughters and splashed water.

Of course, except for some people.

When they got married, they had to stay in their husband's family to support their husbands and teach their children. Not only them, but also Wang Han and the others, when there was a conflict between their natal family and themselves, they only tried to find a way to mediate, but they did not care for their natal family, regardless of their own interests.For Dafeng and Sanfeng, Wang Hua never insisted, even when they were unwilling to leave Chang'an at the most dangerous time, Wang Hua kept accommodating.

Who knew Dafeng and Sanfeng felt a little ashamed after hearing this.

Wang Hua didn't dare to joke anymore, now both Zhang Jiuling and Yan Tingzhi have different ideas from his own, and it's hard for them to behave among them.

Entering the mansion, the two immediately became happy.After all, he came from the Wang family, not to mention that Wang Hua has created a great foundation now, even Wang Hua himself has five men and two women.Although having a child at this time may not be able to grow up safely, the survival rate is less than two-thirds.But with so many children, the Wang family will no longer be as single and weak as before.

Since they came, Wang Hua stayed with them for a few more days.

But I didn't expect Xiao Yaxuan to come to Lingzhou in person a few days later.

Seeing Xiao Yaxuan, Wang Hua was very surprised.Even if he gave birth to a child for Li Hong, he should not come to Lingzhou.Now batches of Christians are moving to Oceania and the Nanyang Islands. They are busy with business, so why did they come to Lingzhou?

Wang Hua faintly felt that something bad had happened.

After a few greetings, Xiao Yaxuan was brought into the room.

Xiao Yaxuan said one thing, since Wang Hua reached a settlement with the imperial court last year and helped Li Longji kill Zhu Wei, the news that Wang Hua would come to Oceania in person soon spread to Oceania.Later, the three of Li Gu'er and Li Chongjun went to Oceania successively.

Wang Hua's father, Li Bao'er and the others seized the managers of Oceania when the Chinese New Year was approaching last year, and supported Wang Hua as the emperor.

Wang Hua's father, Wang Yi, claimed to be the Supreme Emperor.

At this time, Dafeng and Sanfeng didn't leave, they were also sitting in the living room, and they were dumbfounded when they heard that their father was going to be the Supreme Emperor.

Wang Hua also frowned.

Xiao Yaxuan went on to say that because of Wang Hua's various arrangements, Xiao Yaxuan vaguely guessed that Wang Hua didn't seem to have any intention of becoming an emperor.

Wang Hua nodded.Although he hasn't come up with a good solution so far, Oceania is deliberately supporting it so as not to make it go to the road of imperialism.

At the beginning, the management was very loose, with a family-based management method.Of course, the number of people increased later, 100 million, 200 million, 300 million, until the end of last year to 700 million people, it is impossible to use the family system to manage.

However, it is still managed in an evacuated manner, and a number of cronies are dispatched to manage various places.It's not that they have great power. People from all over the country also send their representatives to discuss and discuss matters together.The feudal system plus the democratic parliamentary system, but only Tang people enjoy this system, other races have, very few, all are diehards, or tribes among the races that have made great achievements.

The most important thing is that the people who migrated there are all bitter people, who are easy to be satisfied.In addition, the first group of people who went to Oceania were Wang Hua's confidantes, and they also became the core members of the Oceania power.So there was no big mistake.

Especially on the various islands, they can only communicate with the outside world by boats, and the boats are firmly controlled by Wang Hua. Therefore, except for the natives and slaves, no one has ambitions to rebel against independence.

Later, Wang Hua saw more people, and expanded the power of the council again.However, the elected representatives are people of high moral standing and cannot be younger than 40 years old.This is to avoid another problem. After all, the people who moved there are mainly lower-class people, and there is no perfect law. Sometimes they want to use their fists to solve problems.But managing a region cannot be settled with fists, it requires wisdom and talent.

So Xiao Yaxuan said a fair word and reported it to Wang Hua first.

But at this moment, Wang Yi's beautiful concubine, Dai'er, spoke, and she said: "Erlang has a weak personality. If he reports it, he will disagree. It's better to cut it first and then play it."

Wang Hua wiped off his sweat, is this a replica of the emperor's robe?

Saying this sentence not only won the approval of most people, including Lu Ergou who returned to Oceania.

Wang Yi is Wang Hua's father. Although Li Gu'er is not married to Wang Hua, everyone knows her relationship with Wang Hua, and Shangguan Wan'er, who just arrived in Oceania, has a sharp tongue that makes Song Wen and Xiao Yaxuan Can't refute.

Under the pressure of these people, Xiao Yaxuan and Song Wenquan were taken away immediately.

Now the main affairs in Oceania have become the troika of Wang Yi, Li Gu'er, and Shangguan Wan'er.Wang Yi himself has no opinion, but he still has that little concubine behind him.It turned out that Xiao Yaxuan and the others didn't know about this woman, so she went to Oceania and kept herself very quiet.Now that she walked out of the front desk, she realized that this woman's mind was extremely deep.

There are three women in one play, Xiao Yaxuan and Song Wen felt helpless after seeing it, so they had to quietly let Xiao Yaxuan come to Lingzhou and ask Wang Hua for help.It really came quietly, otherwise they were all worried that their lives would be in danger.

Wang Hua said, "No hurry, I'll figure out a way."

But his face is not very good-looking.Now the imperial system is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so Wang Hua gradually adopted this extensive management system, gradually transitioning from the patriarchal system to the parliamentary system.It is not that he immediately adopts the parliamentary system, but that the people feel that they have a chance to be the masters of their own country.

This sketch has just been drawn up, and it looks good.But once the imperial system is restored, serious turmoil will occur if you want to rebuild the painting.

He lowered his head, thinking of a question.

There is always an instigator of this matter, and it must have nothing to do with my old man. He doesn't seem to have such great ambitions yet.

So who is it?Li Baoer?It's not like an elephant, she hasn't come out of the labor pains yet, and under her deliberate teaching in the past few years, her ambition for power is not as serious as that Princess Anle in history.Otherwise, Webster has repeatedly stated his position to make her the crown princess, but she has not compromised.

But for her own sake, she is easily seduced by others.

Or Shangguan Wan'er?This seems to be really possible. I don't take the merit of supporting the emperor so seriously, but in this era, it is a great contribution.

Could it be her?If this is Shangguan Wan'er, I will be very disappointed.

Or that Aunt Dai?She really has such a deep palace?

But no matter who it was between these two people, Wang Hua was very unhappy.Now I have to go back for more than a year. The first is that the tripod of Kyushu still needs a long time to be completed. As soon as I left, the whole thing stopped.

Second, there are still many people in the Northwest who asked to leave and have not been dealt with.Third, the Qianhuamen coup has not yet happened, not for Princess Taiping, but for Wu Chongning's tearful glance when Wang Hua left Chang'an.But she was hiding behind the crowd. The scene was very noisy at that time. Many people were shocked by Princess Taiping's actions, but no one paid attention.It was Wang who painted the horse and saw it.Just for this one glance, Wang Hua planned to save her life.To this end, he has made many secret arrangements.

Therefore, I have to wait and stay in the northwest and cannot leave.

He said in his heart, don't worry.

At this time, Mu Zili opened his mouth and said, "Erlang, at worst, you can call yourself emperor. Oceania is yours."

"Proclaim the emperor? Do you know where are the descendants of Han Xiandi Liu Xie? Where are the descendants of Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei? Where are the descendants of the kings of the Sixteen Kingdoms? Where are the descendants of the kings of the Southern and Northern Dynasties? Qin Shihuang If he is majestic and dominates the world, where are his descendants? If he becomes emperor, what will happen to our descendants 100 or 200 years later?"

Mu Zili still has to talk.

Wang Hua said again: "Also, the turmoil in the court has not awakened you in the past few years? Has the Empress Dowager's Wu family lost its former glory? What about the Wei family? Besides, Bao'er was the number one princess in the world back then. What is the point today? Is it over? It's not over yet!"

This sentence left Mu Zili speechless.

Wang Hua turned her head and said to Xiao Yaxuan: "You did a good job in this matter."

"Don't dare, Song Wen and I are not opposed to your proclaiming emperor. This place was indeed created by you."

One sentence made Wang Hua dumbfounded.

Xiao Yaxuan said again: "But the first thing is that you seem to be very opposed to it. Even proclaiming the emperor, such a big matter requires your consent. Moreover, what Song Wen and I are most worried about is not proclaiming the emperor, but fearing this matter. being taken advantage of."

"Use?" Wang Hua's expression changed again.

His is not the Northwest at all, but Oceania, which one has the guts to extend his hand to Oceania?
