Chapter 128
In a blink of an eye, it is November, which is now the first month.

The new furnace was finally built before Li Hong returned.

Wang Hua was going to open the furnace, but instead of firing new porcelain, he was testing the soil quality.

This is just the beginning. In the previous life, there were generally more than 100 procedures for firing fine porcelain. If it is that kind of top-notch fine porcelain, the procedures will reach more than 1000.Of course, there are not so many procedures now, and there are many procedures that cannot be realized without scientific instruments.For example, in modern porcelain firing, the furnace temperature is controlled between 25 and [-] [-] degrees according to different needs, and the upper and lower temperatures cannot be deviated by [-] degrees, and the fine porcelain is not allowed to have a deviation of [-] degrees.

Is it possible in the Tang Dynasty?

Not to mention all kinds of chemical equipment.

But there are many procedures, and for the sake of technical proficiency, workers are divided into raw material processing, cylinder wheel workers, bowl wheel workers, support workers, kiln loaders, kiln burners, kiln cleaners, licensed goods workers, porters, There are even painters, cage cutters, etc. behind, and craftsmen are divided into small pinch pans, large pinch pans, master pinch bottles, and so on.Wang Hua's original occupation was a painter. After firing the original porcelain, he picked out the work of painting the pattern.However, at Wang Hua's status, his work is no small matter, and it is basically hard to see in the market.

This is also the reason why Wang Hua bought the porcelain kilns that changed hands.Human resources are now ignored, unless there are real talents.In fact, these grassroots workers are also very important.

But after the improvement of Wang Hua, such as boxing, many workers have never done it, and there is still a process of groping and getting familiar with it.

In fact, the soil quality of the experiment is relatively easy to handle.Mainly the latter, porcelain color and enamel.

This formula is the biggest key and difficulty to conquer Xinci.The formulations of various enamel are different.For example, the white glaze is made from the white alkali raw stone produced in the north and south Pingshan of Yuzhou, and it is made by crushing. The black glaze is produced in Pengcheng, but the black green is from foreign countries, and the Yuan blue and white are also from Boni and Western Iraq.Some Wang Hua still has the conditions to be found now, and some are simply hopeless. This needs to be negotiated with the big food merchants to see if they can help.This hope is very vague, even if he promised to help, he must wait until Wang Hua burns out the fine porcelain and has business contacts. For the sake of trade, it is possible to help.But even if you get help, you may not be able to find it.

There are also technical issues, such as making mud, and some utensils must be made to use water power to speed up the beating speed and improve the fusion of mud.In this way, the original porcelain body fired will be tighter.In fact, it is equivalent to completely subverting the old technology in half.

Wang Hua called his father to discuss.It is impossible to open the kiln once or several times to test the soil quality, which is too wasteful.

Therefore, by the way, he asked his father to fire porcelain, sandwiched in the middle, and experimented with different soil qualities.In addition to this, workers had to be hired again because another kiln was opened.All this requires the help of his father.

These days, his son is building this new kiln in a weird way, and Wang Yi has been watching.Some could understand and gave him some inspiration, while others could not understand.And seeing that the son was very cautious, he spared no expense to build a tall wall around the cave.

Since his son said so, he had no choice but to do so.Who said that now the family is equivalent to letting this son take power.Deep down in his heart, he also wanted to see what kind of porcelain could be fired in this new furnace and the new method.So they hired workers, that is, people with the surname Wang.

This is also what troubled Wang Yi.Wang Hua's initial salary was too generous, which undoubtedly increased the cost of firing porcelain.If it wasn't for his "advanced" technology, the price of the fired porcelain was higher than that of other porcelains, which increased profits. It may be because of Wang Hua's high salary at the beginning, which eventually dragged down the porcelain kiln again.

This time the Wang family invited someone well.

We all know that Wang's Xiaoer is promising, and the porcelain he burns is also good, which means that the profit is high and the cave dwelling is not easy to collapse.But to Wang Yi's regret, many clansmen came, but most of the skilled workers had signed contracts with their employers and dared not come.

Some clansmen have never touched porcelain work at all.What are these people doing here?It's just an apprentice, food and lodging is his own, and he has to follow the master to do a few years of work for nothing, and even give gifts during the New Year and holidays.This is just apprenticeship.There is also a kind of person who eats the master, the apprentice, the time is usually six or seven years, it is common to be beaten and scolded, and they also help the master's house with housework, making quilts, serving the urinal, cooking and washing dishes, and even washing diapers and women's toilets. clothing.After three years of doing it, I have almost learned the craft, and I still can't become a teacher. After I continue to help my master for three or four years, I can make a living independently.

Either do rough work on the kiln, carrying and carrying, this kind of salary is very low.There is no shortage of these menial laborers on the kiln.

Seeing how these people begged, Wang Yi didn't know what to do.According to him, he directly rejected these tribesmen.But the son said those bright words at the clan meeting that day, but now he refuses, which is tantamount to slapping his son.

At this time Wang Hua came out and said to Wang Yi, "Father, forget it, let them learn while doing it."

After this sentence was released, the clansmen burst into cheers.

This undoubtedly brought the Wang family's prestige among the Wang clan to its peak. Wang Yi grimaced, disapproving of his son's "kindness", and he didn't even want such prestige.

At this time Li Hong came back and brought good news.

The emperor gave Wang Hua another three hundred gold. This money is nothing in Luoyang, but it is a big sum in Qingshangou.In addition, with the successful research and development of new paper, Wang Hua also hired some clan members to help, and this new paper will also bring income to the Wang family.

Forget it, don't care about it.

This son can lose as well as earn, it seems that the speed of earning is faster than the speed of losing, so let him do it.

But Wang Hua couldn't be happy.

Lao Wu asked him to take the next scientific examination, which means that he officially expressed his position and let him enter the officialdom.He didn't like being an official. He didn't like politics in his previous life. He had a stubborn temper, and he couldn't bear it in the officialdom. Moreover, the court disputes are complicated now. Until more than ten years later, Li Longji succeeded in the coup, but behind him, Longji and Princess Taiping The court was not stabilized until Princess Taiping was killed.

Entering the officialdom now, you may not even know how to die.

But what reason can I have to refuse?
Seeing Wang Hua's worried look, Li Hong asked puzzledly, "Erlang, isn't this a good thing."

"You're tall," Wang Hua said angrily, stood up, and went to the porcelain kiln to inspect.

It is now the middle of the first lunar month, and when I get up early every day, the ground is covered with a layer of silver frost.Wang Hua's time is also tighter, because when spring comes, he must implement what he said at the clan meeting, and create a large number of fields for the tenants surnamed Wang and some tribes to cultivate.

This is not a mountain, but a farm.Landlords now have to find ways to collect land, even if they have money, they may not be able to buy it.However, Wang Hua had other clever arrangements, but time was tight.

The porcelain kiln is being prepared intensively.

At this time, an unexpected visitor came to his house.

When Wang Hua saw it, he quickly saluted, Mr. Ji Xuji.Then he served tea and asked, "Ji Xianggong, why did you come to our cold place?"

Ji Xu is not Li Longji, not Li Gu'er, but a dignified prime minister.This puzzled Wang Hua.

Ji Xu sighed and said, "You still don't know?"

"what do you know?"

Ji Xu thinks about it too, he stays in this mountain village, and the news is not very well-informed.So I told the whole story again.

Ji Xu argued in front of Wu Zetian because Wu Yizong took Zhaozhou's meritorious service.In fact, this is also caused by him being the prime minister and seeing that Wu Zetian's temper has turned a little mild and a little arrogant.Wu Zetian was displeased, and said to people in private: "Today, I will belittle all the warriors in front of me, and what's more, when I'm not alive in the future!" Emperor Taizong had a teacher named Cong Ma who couldn't train him. My concubine said to Emperor Taizong that if I can control him, I need three things: a whip, a hammer, and a dagger. If you take the whip, you can hammer it. If you don't accept the hammer, use the dagger to cut off its throat. Taizong Strengthen my ambition. Today you are qualified to foul my dagger."

Hearing this, Ji Xu was sweating.

Wang Hua was also sweating, he was trying to figure out how to reject Wu Zetian.Unexpectedly, this famous story came from reprimanding Jixu.This also reminded him once again of Wu Zetian Shunchang's rebellious character.I was so bold as to want to reject Wu Zetian's kindness! ! !
