Daqin Fusu: It is difficult to start the battle

Chapter 114 Porcelain
When Fusu walked into the industrial park, Xu Kang, the order of the stone room, immediately greeted him.

Now Xu Kang's face is dark, his eyes are shining, like a monkey that just jumped out of an alchemy furnace...

Fusu understood that this was the aftereffect of long-term work in front of the fire kiln, so Fusu decided to wait until the porcelain was fired, and promote Xu Kang to a rank of title, never to be promoted to a doctor.

Walking with Xu Kang was the Chief Iron Officer Sima Chang.

Needless to say the former, but the latter came to report the progress of steelmaking to Fusu.

"Your Majesty!" After the two bowed to the ground and saluted, Xu Kang took the initiative to lead the way.

Fusu walked forward, and first saw rows of pedal pottery wheels improved by him under the shed in the distance.

After simply adding the crank and the belt, the shape of the entire pedal pottery wheel is a bit like the spinning bike in the gym in the later generations.

The workers sitting on the bench pedaled the crank like a bicycle, and many common bottles and jars were quickly formed.

In the system of the Qin Dynasty, workers and craftsmen are two different titles.

Craftsman refers to craftsmen, such as blacksmiths, carpenters, stonemasons, etc.; while the scope of "craftsman" is wider, including not only craftsmen, but also mental workers such as doctors, painters, and musicians.

In short, as long as someone has a certain professional skill, they will be classified as workers. The government calls it Baigong Ji, which is similar to the soldiers who are in charge of fighting.

After Qin Lv granted them citizenship, he allowed these craftsmen to open shops and do business. Most of their shops in the market were planned as a front shop and a back shop, and they sold while producing. This business model has been used to this day.

The potters working here are almost all transferred from the Lishan construction site, and the terracotta warriors and horses, known as the eighth wonder of the world, were made by them.

The reason why they have only now been brought here to make porcelain is mainly because Fusu changed their work plan and replaced the real ones in the hands of the terracotta warriors with ceramic weapons.

As for those real guys, they naturally became the cute and lovely Qin Banliang...

In the words of a high EQ, it is to leave valuable information for future generations to let them know what the shape of weapons in the Qin Dynasty was like.

Later generations cast swords into plows, and Fusu cast swords into money.

Going forward, there is a stepped filter built on the side of the canal.

The ground raw materials are sent into the pool, and after stirring evenly, the workers connect the water wheel and the elevated canal, and the river rushes into the pool to wash the raw materials to the next pool.

After natural settlement in several pools, the impurities in the raw materials will be left at the bottom of the pools, and only the most delicate soil will enter the last pool, and after being fished and processed by special personnel, it will be sent to a remote work shed.

Because Fusu raised the daily wages of all the craftsmen in the industrial park by three qian, so even though the winter is approaching, everyone is busy and busy.

After a while, Fusu saw the porcelain kiln being fired from afar.

In the first phase of the project, only two porcelain kilns, one large and one small, were built. The fuel used in the smaller one is pine wood, which is also the raw material for porcelain firing in Jingdezhen, known as the porcelain capital in later generations.

It is said that pine wood is rich in oil. During the firing process of porcelain, the pine oil volatilized from pine wood is organically combined with the fine water vapor in the kiln, which is beneficial to the moisture of the green body, making the fired Jianzhan more oily and shiny.

However, Fusu was poor in his previous life and didn't understand it at all, and in his inherited memory, because of the age, he didn't have any experience in appreciating porcelain.

Out of the concept of environmental protection, Fusu originally planned to use coal instead of pine wood as the fuel for firing porcelain, but after a second thought, he still kept a small porcelain kiln and used pine wood to fire porcelain.

The complicated business knowledge of later generations told Fusu a truth.

Things are rare.

Just like the brown sugar pre-sale coupons, which cost as much as 3000 yuan, they were sold out in just half a day. In some underground black markets, the price of the pre-sale coupons has already reached more than [-] yuan!

From the beautiful jade on Chen Ping's waist, we can know that this matter is true!

For this kind of pinewood-fired porcelain, Fusu decided to use the method of hunger marketing to control the output. In addition, he has been rewarding princes and ministers with roasted tea these days, and gradually cultivated the tea-drinking custom in Xianyang City.

After the porcelain is fired, let Chen Ping make up some... well, tea culture!

At that time, a gorgeously decorated store will be set up in Changyang Street Dashi to sell tea sets.

Draw some plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, flowers, birds, fish and insects on the teacup, then wrap it with high-quality silk, use lacquerware made of golden nanmu as the packaging box, and inlaid gold and jade on it...

Ten thousand dollars for a set of tea sets?That's just the cost!
Fifty thousand dollars to start!
Please consciously detour those who are below the Changjue, our shop will not entertain you!

What high-end luxury goods like this need to do is not to seek the best, but to seek the most expensive!
Fusu shook his head, and drove away the hot man who was roaring in his mind.

"Please look, Your Majesty, this is yesterday's finished product." Xu Kang presented a porcelain plate with both hands excitedly.

Fusu took it and touched it. It was delicate and smooth, and it sounded like gold and jade when knocked.

He looked up and down, then nodded approvingly.

This batch of plain colored porcelain was fired in a coal kiln and prepared to be sold in batches.

Inspired by the developed marketing methods of later generations,
Different products and sales strategies are adopted for people with different incomes.

Precise Harvesting!

After inspecting the porcelain burning area, Fusu praised Xu Kang a few words, and asked Xiao He who was accompanying him to write down that after rewarding Xu Kang with a first-class title, he followed Sima Chang to the iron smelting area on the other side.

In fact, according to the original plan, the daily output of the iron-making area can meet the needs of Qin.

The pig iron smelted in the blast furnace was forged into steel, and then processed into ring-swords and iron gun heads, which were used to replace the existing bronze swords, bronze spears and halberds.

It's just that the demand for manufacturing four-wheeled carriages has made the original steel production somewhat stretched.

After all, at this time, the forest coverage in the Guanzhong area was at least 50.00%, and there were countless giant trees in the Zhongnan Mountains, so there was no shortage of wood for making carriages. The only thing that limited the production speed of carriages was the steel used to make bearings.

So Fusu thought about it and decided to use the method of crucible steelmaking to increase the production of steel.

Originally, he wanted to reproduce the converter steelmaking method after he climbed the technology tree again.

However, considering that time is approaching a critical point in history, his demand for steel has become increasingly urgent.

His plan is to try to build a heavy iron armor that can be replaced by 1 people in half a year, similar to the infantry armor in the later Song Dynasty, and [-] vehicles that can be used for formation and self-defense. A four-wheeled carriage for logistical support!
