Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start
Chapter 215
A few days later, the kiln factory site increased the food ration, from two steamed buns per person per meal to three steamed buns, and the wild vegetable egg soup also increased the proportion of salt. Although the taste is heavy, for ordinary people, Drinking a bowl of wild vegetable and egg soup can basically supplement the loss of salt in the body. It can save one person's salt in the family, which is definitely a good thing.
At the scene of the meal, one after another, the common people knelt down on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of the county government.
These bitter people can only express their gratitude to Qin Hao in this simple and humble way.
"Folks, Mr. Qin is so kind to us. We have to work hard when we work. If anyone cheats and cheats, it will embarrass us as a whole in Rong County."
"That's right, it's not easy for us in Rong County to meet such a good parent officer, we can't let people poke our spines."
After lunch, staring at the scorching sun, the kiln factory site was full of heat. These miserable people are responding in their own way. They are not stupid, and they know who is good to them.
In just a few days, Qin Hao left an image of "a clean and good official" in the minds of the people of Rong County. Only then did those local wealthy families realize that the children of aristocratic families in their eyes are not simple.
It took seven days from the start of construction to the completion of the kiln. On the day when the kiln was completed, the people who participated in the construction of the kiln stood at the gate of the kiln, unwilling to leave for a long time.
Suddenly, the crowd consciously parted ways, and the common people bowed down one after another.
Qin Hao said to the crowd: "Everyone should be polite."
After shouting three times, everyone slowly stood up.
Qin Hao didn't talk nonsense, he knew that these people were worried that after the kiln was completed, they would not be needed anymore, and they would no longer be able to eat delicious wild vegetable steamed buns and drink wild vegetable egg soup.
"The kiln factory also requires a lot of manpower. If you want to stay, please register. I will arrange craftsmen to teach you some simple crafts, and you can continue to work in the kiln factory in the future."
As soon as the words fell, he fell to his knees again.
"Thank you sir."
Many people even wept with joy, although for them, being able to eat good food for the past few days was already a gift.
"My lord, do you still have steamed buns with wild vegetables?"
Suddenly a voice came, the scene burst into laughter, and someone laughed and cursed.
"Old man Tian, you are a foodie."
Tian Laolan also lowered his head in shame, wishing to slap himself twice, why did he speak out what was in his heart.
Qin Hao was not angry at all, but laughed loudly: "The food in the kiln is still the same, and the work for the other seven days is over, and I will arrange someone to pay the wages later. You all go home and take your photos and come here to collect the wages. Be careful when you go back, don't make a big fuss, and be careful of being robbed!"
"Salary?"
Everyone was ecstatic and unbelievable at the same time. Originally, the food in the kiln factory was so good. They all thought it might be worth their wages. For them, this was already a very good job. Eat three steamed buns, eat one for each meal, and bring back four steamed buns a day, enough to feed a family of four.
However, now that Qin Hao told them that all the food they eat on weekdays comes as a bonus, and they can still receive their wages, the whole construction site suddenly boiled.
Before they could react, Qin Hao slipped away quietly. Even though he had experienced two ancient worlds, he was still not used to common people bowing down.
Cheng Shaoshang was drawing blueprints on a soil slope. Seeing the boiling scene on the kiln factory site, a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Rong County was very poor. But I like it more.
Because everyone here is working hard to live, unlike the children of those aristocratic families in the capital, who are only full of food and have nothing to do. They are jealous, or they talk about the so-called gentleman's way, which is useless.
Here she can do what she likes, and she can also help those poor people. According to her husband, when the kiln starts construction in the future, the entire upstream and downstream industrial chain of porcelain will be driven, and the entire Rong County will take on a new look.
Cheng Shaoshang is convinced of this, because Qin Hao is not just talking, he is doing it by himself, and the cheers of these people are proof.
Tian Laolan returned home secretly, took out his own photo, that is, his identity certificate, from the only box in the house, and carefully put it close to his body.
After closing the door, Tian Laolan rushed to the kiln outside the city with brisk steps, how could he not be excited?As long as he receives this salary, he can find a matchmaker to match him. When the time comes, marry a woman who is good at giving birth, cook for himself, wash clothes, and have children. How beautiful will that day be?
Hurrying all the way, Tian Laoji finally came to the kiln factory, and there was already a long queue in front of him, but this time Tian Laoji was not in a hurry. The county magistrate Qin said that he could receive wages, so he would definitely get it. The old man is convinced.
Tian Laolan suddenly saw Liu Dabao from the same village coming out with a pot full of copper coins, he was dazzled, and hurriedly asked Zhao Dabao.
"So many hairs?"
Zhao Dabao chuckled: "No, I didn't expect to be able to send so much money. At that time, I was asked to count. I was so stupid. When did I count so much money? The person who sent the money counted it for me. Look at it." Then throw them into the jar one by one."
"How did you get it? Just take a photo of yourself?" Tian Laolan licked his lips and asked.
Zhao Dabao said: "Yes, there are adults who come to take your photo, household registration, name, who else is in the family, etc. The main purpose is to prevent someone from having evil intentions and robbing the photo for money. You can get the money now."
While talking, a group of soldiers dragged several men with bruised noses and swollen faces, shouting as they walked.
"Anyone who snatches other people's photos and pretends to receive wages will be punished with thirty rods and three years in prison. Don't make mistakes!"
Tian Laolan hugged his photo body subconsciously, but he didn't expect that someone would actually snatch someone else's photo body to pretend to be paid.
Some people in the crowd had quietly left the team, and these people were quickly taken down by the guards at the gate of the kiln. Not long after, a dozen people were tied up outside the kiln to pretend to be the leaders. There was a burst of applause.
Finally it was Tian Laolan's turn, and Tian Laolan wiped his photo on his clothes before carefully handing it over.
The other party asked about Tian Laolan's household registration, the names of the elders in the village, etc., and after confirming that they were correct, they counted the money for him. Tian Laolan couldn't count. Have you ever seen so much cash?
"Count it."
A small pile of money was pushed in front of Tian Laoji, who scratched his head in embarrassment, how could he count it?At the same time, he regretted a little, why didn't he bring a jar like Zhao Dabao did, what if so much money is lost along the way?
"If you don't count, just put your fingerprint on it." The master who distributed the money was a little impatient.
Tian Laolan nodded and bowed with a smiling face, pressed his fingerprints, then gritted his teeth and tore off a piece of his clothes, carefully wrapping the more than 100 copper coins.
Along the way, Tian Lao hunched his back, pocketed the copper coins in his arms, and looked back at every step, for fear that the money would be scattered on the way.
Originally, the journey only took fifteen minutes, but Tian Laolan walked for almost an hour, but Tian Laolan didn't feel tired at all.
After closing the door, Tian Laolan carefully scattered the copper coins on the bed, and he also lay directly on it, a little irritating, but it made him extremely satisfied.
After lying down for a while, Tian Laolan picked out ten copper coins and held them in his hand. Then he hid the remaining copper coins in the crack of the wall and blocked them with straw. Then he locked the door and went to Aunt Wang's house in the village.
Aunt Wang is a well-known matchmaker in the village, and she has arranged [-] or [-] marriages in her hands. Before, he wanted to ask Aunt Wang to help find a wife, but unfortunately she couldn't afford the money for tea, and the other party ignored him at all.
This time Tian Laolan had money in his hands, and his back straightened, he pushed away the yard of Mrs. Wang's house and walked in.
"Hey, isn't this old man Tian? What's the matter? You want me to introduce you to a wife? It's useless. You can't even afford tea money. It's hard to support yourself. How will you support your wife and children in the future? Don't harm me. It's a girl!"
Aunt Wang sneered.
Tian Laolan directly slapped the copper money in his hand on the table, and his words were extremely tough: "You old godmother, don't look down on people with your dog's eyes. Now I work in Mr. Qin's kiln factory, and I have five hundred yuan a month. How about it?" Can't afford to support your wife and children?"
Aunt Wang looked at the copper coins on the table, her eyes were straightened, so naturally she didn't care about getting angry, and said flatteringly: "Oh, you are going to be rich, no wonder you are so stubborn today, well, the old lady will replace you." You find a wife and keep it to your satisfaction."
"That's about the same!" Although Tian Laolan felt sorry for the ten copper coins, he cared more about his wife, thinking about the days when his wife and children were hot on the kang, it was a beauty.
The situation of Tian Laolan is not an exception. The matchmakers in Rong County suddenly found that their business has improved, and many former bachelors have entrusted them to be matchmakers.
Without exception, all these old bachelors were unable to get married because their families were too poor. Now they not only get wages from the kiln factory, but also have stable high-paying jobs, which is tantamount to a counterattack.
After the news spread, some people even took the initiative to marry their daughters over. At the same time, the kiln factory paid such good wages, which naturally made those who did not sign up regret it.
Especially the Tao family, one by one ran to the old master Tao and cried, wanting to return them.
Old Master Tao said disdainfully: "You guys, what did I say at the beginning? Don't tell you to regret it, what's the use of coming to me now? Do you really think that the county magistrate is being manipulated at will?"
"Wake up, look at what he's been doing these past few days. He's already turned his back on people. From now on, we can only listen to him, not us!"
The old lady of the second room of the Tao family thought for a while: "Brother, I think the kiln factory of the magistrate of this county can really make money with such a big battle? How about we get one too?"
Old Master Tao shook his head: "It's not the right time yet, let's wait until he opens the kiln. I don't understand this young man, so let's wait."
Like the Tao family, other families in Rong County are also waiting to see what Qin Hao is going to do. Such a large kiln factory pays such a high wage. If it is just firing pottery, it will not be profitable at all. Some people do good business, but no one does money-losing business, and the ancients were not stupid.
However, Qin Hao was not in a hurry to open the kiln, but first asked the old kiln workers of the Qin family to provide pre-job training for the common people in Rong County. Firing porcelain is different from firing pottery. The process required is more complicated and more difficult. A little carelessness may lead to the destruction of a furnace of porcelain, resulting in huge losses.
During this period, Qin Hao was not idle, but took Cheng Shaoshang to explore the reserves of quartz ore and mica ore in the mountains near Rong County, which are also the main materials for porcelain.
Compared with pottery, apart from the difference in temperature, the biggest difference is that pottery is simply fired with clay, while porcelain is mixed with "glazed stone", that is, quartz ore and mica ore. With the addition of "glazed stone", porcelain will become smoother, more delicate than pottery, and more durable.
When he was inspecting Rong County with Emperor Wen, Qin Hao discovered that there were quartz mines and mica mines on the mountain, but it was too late to explore the reserves at that time. After a few days of rough exploration, the reserves of quartz mines and mica mines near Rong County were quite amazing. It must be no problem.
In the future, after the mineral deposits here are mined, the porcelain production in Rong County has also formed a large scale, which is enough to offset the cost of purchasing and transportation from other places.
Afterwards, Qin Hao recruited another group of strong laborers to start mining in the mountains. This time, with the pearls and jade from the kiln in front of him, the common people rushed to sign up one by one. of trust.
The destructive power of people is astonishing. In just half a month, a huge hole was dug out of a mountain, and those quartz and mica mines were also transported to the edge of the Minjiang River.
Cheng Shaoshang was fiddling with a row of weird machines. This was a water conservancy and gravel device designed by her. This machine was divided into two parts.The first part is the stone crusher, which is lowered into circular stone troughs, and above it is the stone hammer hoisted by ropes. The power of the stone hammer comes from the turbulent water flow of the Minjiang River, and the ropes of the stone hammer are driven by gears to carry out the ore. Initial crushing.
The second part is the stone grinder, which grinds the ore crushed by the stone crusher into powder through two huge stone grinders, and the power source is also water conservancy.
The pool at the back is an elutriation device, put the powder into it, and then inject a part of clean water to remove the impurities, the thick muddy water is the key material for making porcelain, mix them with kaolin, and then fire , you can get porcelain.
"How is it?" Qin Hao took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Cheng Shaoshang's forehead.
Cheng Shaoshang smiled and said proudly, "It's absolutely fine this time."
Seeing that Cheng Shaoshang was so confident, Qin Hao waved his hand, indicating that the experiment could be carried out. The craftsman opened the gate by the river, and the turbulent water flow was led into a small reservoir. Driven by the water flow, the first part of the rock crusher started. , when the stone hammer hits the stone groove below, there will be gravel flying out from time to time, but this is nothing to do, after all, it is only a relatively simple first-generation industrial product, and it is good to guarantee industrial production. It can't kill people, at most it hurts a little.
Soon, the first batch of ore crushing process was completed, and the craftsmen closed the water inlet valve of the reservoir. Gradually, after the stone hammers lost power, they stopped moving.
Qin Hao picked up the crushed stones and inspected them, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, the effect of the crushed stones this time is much better than last time."
Cheng Shaoshang raised his chin proudly. Her talent is beyond words. Just relying on some simple knowledge of physics and mathematics taught by Qin Hao, she can lead craftsmen to create such a water conservancy mechanical device that has initially formed a scale. To describe it as a genius.
The subsequent stone crusher works well, and even if the experiment is successful, this device can be mass-produced.
At the same time, the training of craftsmen has achieved certain results. Qin Hao asked them to teach them all the processes separately. Each of them only learned two or three processes. These kiln workers knew the future, and this was the foundation for them to live and work. They learned one by one. Enthusiasm runs high.
Although they can't understand why they do this, it's not difficult to follow the gourd painting. After half a month of learning, it's enough to be used as an apprentice helper.
Everything was ready, and after a month of preparation, Qin Hao finally announced that the kiln could be fired.
Porcelain production is very complicated, there are [-] processes from the initial mining to the final baking.
The kiln was opened for the first time to make several commonly used bowls and dishes. This is also a type of utensil with relatively low difficulty in making. After the billet making, glazing and other processes are in place, the first batch of rough billets are carefully placed into the kiln.
"Seal the kiln!"
The temperature of firing porcelain is the key, and the temperature must reach above 1200 degrees Celsius. By closing the kiln mouth, the temperature can be effectively maintained.
The kiln mouth is blocked, leaving only one opening for adding firewood and one air inlet, and the craftsman can only observe the temperature change in the kiln through the air inlet, so as to decide whether to add firewood or remove the fire. This is a type of work that requires experience , The yield rate of a kiln of porcelain is largely in his hands.
"ignition!"
As the pine wood in the kiln is ignited, under the light of the fire, the porcelain in the kiln gradually undergoes some changes that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
The entire firing process takes a day and a night. It stands to reason that except for the craftsmen who add firewood and watch the fire, everyone else can go back to rest, but there are still many people who stay spontaneously.
They also know that they can't help much, but they can only use this behavior to pray to God, praying that this kiln porcelain will be successful, so that they can continue to work in the kiln factory.
Tian Laolan was one of them. Aunt Wang had already told him about a wife who was a widow from the next village. In the Han Dynasty, widows were nothing at home, not to mention that widow was still very juicy.
"God bless, it must be successful, and bless Mr. Qin with a wealth of wealth, and also give us hope in these miserable days."
In the middle of the night, Tian Laolan fell asleep, and when he opened his eyes again, the fire in the kiln had been extinguished, all the kiln workers were staring at the kiln mouth, and many people were muttering.
At the scene of the meal, one after another, the common people knelt down on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of the county government.
These bitter people can only express their gratitude to Qin Hao in this simple and humble way.
"Folks, Mr. Qin is so kind to us. We have to work hard when we work. If anyone cheats and cheats, it will embarrass us as a whole in Rong County."
"That's right, it's not easy for us in Rong County to meet such a good parent officer, we can't let people poke our spines."
After lunch, staring at the scorching sun, the kiln factory site was full of heat. These miserable people are responding in their own way. They are not stupid, and they know who is good to them.
In just a few days, Qin Hao left an image of "a clean and good official" in the minds of the people of Rong County. Only then did those local wealthy families realize that the children of aristocratic families in their eyes are not simple.
It took seven days from the start of construction to the completion of the kiln. On the day when the kiln was completed, the people who participated in the construction of the kiln stood at the gate of the kiln, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Qin Hao said to the crowd: "Everyone should be polite."
After shouting three times, everyone slowly stood up.
Qin Hao didn't talk nonsense, he knew that these people were worried that after the kiln was completed, they would not be needed anymore, and they would no longer be able to eat delicious wild vegetable steamed buns and drink wild vegetable egg soup.
"The kiln factory also requires a lot of manpower. If you want to stay, please register. I will arrange craftsmen to teach you some simple crafts, and you can continue to work in the kiln factory in the future."
As soon as the words fell, he fell to his knees again.

Everything was ready, and after a month of preparation, Qin Hao finally announced that the kiln could be fired.
Porcelain production is very complicated, there are [-] processes from the initial mining to the final baking.
The kiln was opened for the first time to make several commonly used bowls and dishes. This is also a type of utensil with relatively low difficulty in making. After the billet making, glazing and other processes are in place, the first batch of rough billets are carefully placed into the kiln.
"Seal the kiln!"
The temperature of firing porcelain is the key, and the temperature must reach above 1200 degrees Celsius. By closing the kiln mouth, the temperature can be effectively maintained.
The kiln mouth is blocked, leaving only one opening for adding firewood and one air inlet, and the craftsman can only observe the temperature change in the kiln through the air inlet, so as to decide whether to add firewood or remove the fire. This is a type of work that requires experience , The yield rate of a kiln of porcelain is largely in his hands.
"ignition!"
As the pine wood in the kiln is ignited, under the light of the fire, the porcelain in the kiln gradually undergoes some changes that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
The entire firing process takes a day and a night. It stands to reason that except for the craftsmen who add firewood and watch the fire, everyone else can go back to rest, but there are still many people who stay spontaneously.
They also know that they can't help much, but they can only use this behavior to pray to God, praying that this kiln porcelain will be successful, so that they can continue to work in the kiln factory.
Tian Laolan was one of them. Aunt Wang had already told him about a wife who was a widow from the next village. In the Han Dynasty, widows were nothing at home, not to mention that widow was still very juicy.
"God bless, it must be successful, and bless Mr. Qin with a wealth of wealth, and also give us hope in these miserable days."
In the middle of the night, Tian Laolan fell asleep, and when he opened his eyes again, the fire in the kiln had been extinguished, all the kiln workers were staring at the kiln mouth, and many people were muttering.
