Days Of Getting Rich In Another World Chapter 6

"It really is kaolin!"

Margaret was taken aback by Zhao Xu's performance and asked: "What happened to the master? What is kaolin? ?"

"This... I can't explain one or two sentences. Anyway, we may have found the treasure this time." Zhao Xu replied, looking at the excited look of the owner, Margaret felt Feeling an unfathomable mystery, she certainly wouldn't understand what Zhao Xu discovered.

The so-called kaolin, also known as kaolinite, is a long-term mineral transformed into , medicine and other fields, but its most famous and most important use is to make ceramics. The main material of the famous Jingdezhen porcelain is kaolin.

Zhao Xu visited the Ceramics Museum before crossing the road. At that time, he saw the real kaolin clay and related introductions, but he didn't expect to see it in this world. If there is kaolin in Nia, it is possible to develop the porcelain industry. It should be known that the overwhelming majority in this world today still use daily necessities such as clay, and only a few nobles use gold and silver Treasure Items. In this situation, if we can develop ceramic products Undoubtedly a huge opportunity.

Zhao Xu did not dare to delay, and soon took someone to visit the site again. As a result, a large amount of kaolin was found in the mountainous area of northeastern Gramylvania. The raw material is definitely not a problem. , The next step is the craftsmanship. Zhao Xu also knows a little about porcelain making, so he found the local potters to discuss whether there is a technological innovation.

Those potters felt very bold after hearing Zhao Xu's proposal. In fact, the local people of this kaolin discovered it a long time ago, but they basically used it as paint, and even used it as food for hunger in war and famine years. People thought of using this thing as a utensil, but since the lord proposed it, everyone said they could try it.

A key point of firing ceramics is the temperature, which must reach a high temperature of more than 1200 degrees Celsius. This is not a big problem for the locals, because one of Gramsylvania's The major pillar industry is charcoal production. In this regard, both raw materials and related technologies have a certain foundation. Under the guidance of Zhao Xu, everyone has basically met the requirements after a little experimentation.

But just solving the temperature problem is not enough. It is very important to grasp the specific time and heat of the porcelain firing, not to mention a series of techniques such as glazing, characterization, and color painting are not achieved overnight, so at first Porcelain-making experiments are progressing slowly, but Zhao Xu has worked in poverty alleviation before, and he knows that many things cannot be done overnight, so he is not in a hurry and just follows a group of potters to experiment again and again.

This is very strange to the locals. The daily life of the generally speaking lord is nothing more than eating and drinking merrily, and most of the pursuits are mostly focused on the so-called "high-end fields" such as the study of literature, art and academia. And Zhao Xu, the lord and the master, studied some strange things together with the potter, so the local people at first did not have a particularly good opinion of Zhao Xu, and they all felt that this lord was a bit weird, but compared to some lords in the fish and meat town who did bad things , Zhao Xu's actions at least did not cause harm to others, so everyone did not block it.

On this day, Zhao Xu was still experimenting with the potters in the kiln, and suddenly Luffy came over.

"fief lord, Mr. Andrei and the others are here, saying they have something to discuss with you."

After getting along for a while, Luffy and Zhao Xu have gradually gotten to know each other. Now, the words in front of him gradually increased.

As soon as Zhao Xu heard that it was estimated that it was about borrowing money to build the road, these people discussed the result, and immediately went back to Whigburg with Luffy, and waited to see Andrea, Mrs. Charlotte and other places. The celebrities were all there, so Zhao Xu hurriedly changed his clothes to receive the crowd. When he asked about borrowing money to build roads, these people agreed to borrow money and even offered human support, but at the same time, these people also put forward conditions.

The first is the interest of the loan, because it was proposed by Zhao Xu, so these people are not polite, the interest rate is very high, and the other is the specific route, although these people still can't fully understand" If you want to get rich, build roads first”, but they still understand that building roads can facilitate their lives and business, so they require that they must be given priority when planning routes.

I don't care too much about the first item, Zhao Xu. After all, since it should be by rights for people to pay for something in return, even more how these people's thinking is still in the Middle Ages, not They will not be motivated to do many things, but the second point is a bit troublesome. Now Gramsylvania has limited manpower and material resources, and road construction is not only time-consuming but also expensive, so according to Zhao Xu, the first Taking care of the interests of the majority of people, the plan proposed by everyone now obviously conflicts with their own expectations. In desperation, Zhao Xu had to discuss with everyone. In the process, Zhao Xu gradually found out their respective positions.

Most people are actually somewhat dreaded towards Zhao Xu. After all, the other party is a lord. In Gramsylvania, he has the final say. Although these people have some wealth and status in the local area, they do not dare to easily. Against Zhao Xu, the main resistance in the negotiation still came from Andre. This man is very strong and wily old fox. He seems to be sure that Zhao Xu is a newcomer, and his local foundation is not deep. To support him, so he took the opportunity to rip him off, in an attempt to seek more benefits, and there are indeed some people in the local area who take his lead.

However, Zhao Xu is not without supporters. A group of people led by Mrs. Charlotte obviously support him. These people may have different starting points, not necessarily how loyal to Zhao Xu. But at least the latter feel that these people are able to cooperate.

So Zhao Xu held on to a purpose, and he tried his best to suppress the demands of Andre and the others. This was not only for the sake of the overall situation, but also to curb the arrogance of the other party.

At the same time, Zhao Xu wined over Mrs. Charlotte and the others either openly or secretly, hoping that they would clearly support him and deal with Andre and the others together. It should be said that Zhao Xu's move still received a certain amount of support. In the end, Andre and the others did not succeed in getting Zhao Xu to accept their proposal. Andre also saw that the situation was not good, so he proposed to discuss it another day. Zhao Xu thought it would be difficult to do it overnight, so he agreed. The last meeting was fruitless.

After sending everyone away, Zhao Xu felt quite tired and paralyzed in his seat. This kind of talk seems to be easy, but it is actually very energy-intensive. Zhao Xu sometimes thinks that he has become a lord now, why bother He worked as hard as he used to help the poor, but then he thought about it after all, if the locality was revitalized, the lord himself could also benefit from it, even more how the people of Gramsylvania are also human beings, and they help as far as they can. They are always good things, and Zhao Xu is somewhat comforted to think of this.
