The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 100: A young man can be taught. Cao Pi is very righteous. A piece of porcelain is born. A Hu man eats a piece of porcelain.
Luo Yuan ate breakfast as if nothing had happened and went out with Huang Zhong to find Cao Pi. When they got outside the city, Cao Pi was extremely excited when he saw Luo Yuan.

"Sir, you are really awesome!"

Luo Yuan was stunned: "I also know the word awesome, I only told Xiahou about it!"

Cao Pi quickly said, "I already know what happened last night. My father kept saying the word 'awesome' in the mansion last night. Mr. Wenhe has explained it to me."

Luo Yuan looked at Jia Xu who was standing beside him and nodded. Jia Xu said, "Gong Qi, your method is extremely vicious. Those nobles have lost all their face. Yang Xiu didn't dare to go home last night. He spent the night in the Prime Minister's Mansion, fearing that you would come back and kill him!"

Cao Pi had a look of disdain on his face. He was greatly disappointed by those famous scholars like Yang Xiu.

That's it?

Looking at Luo Yuan again, those people are really no match for you, sir.

The gentleman looked peaceful and harmonious, and he didn't seem to care at all about what happened last night.

Luo Yuan came today to prepare for firing porcelain. Cao Pi built three kilns and prepared five hundred craftsmen and laborers. Luo Yuan did not say much, but began to give instructions.

Select the soil, screen it, then grind it, and then fire it!

Luo Yuan spoke in great detail, and only Cao Pi and Jia Xu followed him, and they did not dare to miss a single word!

Remember every word Luo Yuan said.

"The key is the temperature. There is black stone in Chang'an. You can ask people to collect it and turn it into powder to help burn charcoal. Don't let outsiders know. This is crucial!"

Cao Pi nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, sir. I will never tell anyone this secret even if I die. I will tell my son before I die!"

After saying that, he looked at Jia Xu!

If you dare tell anyone, I will kill you!
Jia Xu was speechless. Am I that stupid that I need your warning?

Luo Yuan smiled and said, "That's not necessary. When you have mastered the skills, you can tell your close friends and ask them to build a kiln to make some porcelain and sell it. Meng De is a poor man who has to pretend to be rich. With porcelain, he will be richer. I tell you, you can use the porcelain to exchange for horses, cattle and sheep on the grassland. One piece of porcelain will cost at least ten horses, or thirty sheep. Wuwan and other Hu people need it. Don't lower the price casually, or it will ruin the market!"

Jia Xu looked at Luo Yuan in disbelief. He hadn't seen what kind of porcelain it was yet, but he knew what was used to make porcelain, which was just some clay.

How can you have the nerve to pay back cows and horses with a little mud?
"Gongqi, isn't this too much? You're a little greedy!"

"What are you talking about, Wenhe? This is the porcelain of our Han Dynasty. I will pay tribute to the emperor. How can the Hu people not sell the porcelain used by the emperor? We are willing to sell the grassland with the emperor's porcelain. Shouldn't they hand over the cattle and sheep immediately? You have only ten horses and no sheep. You still have the nerve to talk to us? Wenhe, you are not a good person, so stop pretending. Morality has nothing to do with us!"

"Besides, it's not easy for me to make porcelain. I was assassinated by Yang Xiu and others. I paid the price of my life to make it. It takes the life of a craftsman to make one piece of porcelain. Do you understand?"

If you don't tell the story, how can the Hu people believe it?

The porcelain itself may be worth a cow, but if you add a story to it, doesn’t the story cost money?

Whore for free!
Pooh!
Luo Yuan rolled his eyes at Jia Xu, then looked at Cao Pi. The young man had clearly understood the Dao: "What you said, sir, a piece of porcelain requires a craftsman to jump into the fire and burn it with blood, just like the ancient Ou Yezi who forged a sword and used human sacrifices!"

Luo Yuan was deeply excited. Young man, has he found the basis for the allusion? It's well-founded!
"When porcelain is made, it is struck by thunder from heaven, but it does not break and becomes a utensil. Why does thunder from heaven strike porcelain? It is because beauty is rare in this world, and heaven will not tolerate it."

"Yes, sir, you are very wise, Pi also understands it!"

Luo Yuan looked at Cao Pi with satisfaction: "You are teachable, unlike someone who only knows how to pretend."

Jia Xu laughed bitterly and said, "How can our situations be the same? You dare to leave the corpse at someone else's door, how dare I?"

When Luo Yuan saw that the fire in the furnace was red hot, he ordered the kiln to be sealed and leave a small opening for ventilation. "Let's burn it for five days first, and then open the kiln after five days!" Cao Pi decided not to go back, and would stay here and watch for the next five days.

Luo Yuan is of course at his leisure. You can just watch as you like. He is not sure about other things, but as long as he can bake something different from pottery, it will be fine.

It would be a miracle if we could burn out glass beads.

He put a lot of quartz stones into the kiln.

By then, I will sell you one glass bead for 100,000 strings of cash.

Luo Yuan then traveled back and forth between the kiln and Yecheng, and did not cause trouble for those gentry. Cao Cao was very busy these days, and he took advantage of the opportunity created by Luo Yuan to borrow food from those gentry, some of which he would not return.

This time, Boss Cao asked for a huge amount.

The gentry heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that Luo Yuan had no intention of causing trouble for them. Five days passed in a flash, and Cao Cao came to see them in person.

There were three kilns, each of which was seven or eight meters high and emitting thick smoke all day long. Cao Cao would take a look at them from the high platform in his mansion every day.

"Gongqi can really produce treasures. It takes human sacrifice to make the porcelain you mentioned!"

Luo Yuan was stunned. Didn’t I say that Cao Pi was standing behind Cao Cao and blinking frantically at Luo Yuan? It turned out that when Cao Cao arrived, Luo Yuan had not come yet, so he naturally asked him about the situation!

Cao Pi said that craftsmen had to sacrifice their lives in order to produce porcelain, which was very absurd according to Luo Yuan's idea.

"Oh, that's about right. Meng De wouldn't think that's unkind, right? After all, it's against the will of heaven to bring a treasure out of the world. How can it be obtained so easily without paying a price?"

Cao Cao nodded in understanding: "It's just that it's not worth sacrificing the people!"

"It's also possible to use Hu people!"

Cao Cao was stunned. Luo Yuan whispered, "One barbarian and one porcelain. Don't you think it's a good deal, Meng De? Barbarians are not human beings!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed, but he felt a little distressed about using his own people. After all, the population in the north was small, and he had worked hard to slowly recover the population!
If we can use the Hu people, that would be a great deal!
Barbarians are not human beings, they are just two-legged beasts. Cao Cao would not feel sorry no matter how many of them died.

Looking at Luo Yuan, Cao Cao naturally understood what Luo Yuan meant, which was to target foreigners.

He was afraid that he was too soft on foreigners, so he created a porcelain vessel to force himself to fight the Hu people.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "I understand what you mean. I will ask the Hu Protector to take good care of the Hu people in the future!"

If you say so, then I am satisfied.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Luo Yuan ordered the kiln to be opened. When the temperature at the kiln mouth dropped, it was already evening. Luo Yuan then ordered people to take the things inside out.

Under the illumination of the torches, colorful lights rose into the sky. Cao Cao was shocked and saw some instruments flashing with light in front of him.

It is so colorful and beautiful.

Luo Yuan was also stunned. They were actually fired. He looked at them and was a little disappointed. Many of them failed. Only a dozen pieces could barely be considered porcelain.

Cao Cao saw that Luo Yuan was not excited, so he asked, "Gongqi, are you not happy about such a treasure?"

"Oh, it's just so-so. The kiln change is not very thorough!" Luo Yuan said.
