Online Games: Start as an Emperor

The Yuntai Temple is very large and very impressive.

I don’t know how much time, money and energy was spent on building a ladder from the foot of the mountain to Yuntai Temple.

This ladder is completely excavated manually.

The number of people involved is very large.

Fortunately, it was winter, so we had nothing to do.

There is no farm work in the fields, so everyone comes out to do odd jobs to make some money.

Lu Yan is not recruiting coolies. As long as he works here, he will get money.

Some people can't wait to build every day.

As long as there are projects, they can make money.

In addition to the Yuntai Temple, the Confucian Temple and the Martial Arts Temple are also under construction, located on the left and right sides of the Golden Terrace.

On the left is the Wu Temple and on the right is the Confucian Temple.

There is no distinction between high and low.

And White Deer Academy has not yet started construction. Just to select a location, many places have been found.

It has never been determined.

In addition, the roads in the capital of Yun Kingdom were widened again.

Other buildings have also been upgraded, from black iron level to bronze level.

More grain can be stored.

Have more attributes.

Most of the Yun State's money was used for the construction of Donghai County.

Widen roads, reinforce city walls, build brothels, taverns, restaurants, bookstores, schools, private schools, etc.

Donghai County is still under construction and the project is huge.

It takes a long time.

But with Zhang Zhao and Zhang Juzheng, these are not problems.

After Dou Yihu and Dou Xiantong were recaptured, the wealth of Tao Kingdom was also transported back to Yundu.

Make amends.

Dongtai is the richest and most powerful country.

There were several things among them that made Lu Yan's eyes light up.

Most of them are books.

Lu Yan did not expect that Dongtai Kingdom had many books in its collection.

There are some books on"The Doctrine of the Mean" and"The Great Learning" among the"Four Books and Five Classics".

There are some books from"Book of Rites".

There are"Li Weng Duiyun","Zengguang Xianwen" and so on.

These books can increase the literary prosperity of the city. At the same time, there will be a certain bonus when reading these books.

······

In addition to books, there are also some treasures.

There is a silver gun called Gentian.

It is an extremely sharp spear.

Handsome and attractive.

Seeing this spear, the first person Lu Yan looked at was Zhao Zilong.

There is an inkstone, which is a"clear mud inkstone".

Lu Yan didn't know how the other party got it, but it was indeed a treasure that had a bonus effect on calligraphy, painting, and other things.

In the eyes of literati, this inkstone is no less than ten thousand taels of gold.

Lu Yan's Venus Dragon Tail Inkstone has always been remembered by Cai Yong, Yan Zhenqing and Kong Rong.

Han Yu actually wanted it too, but with Cai Yong and the others here, he had no chance.

Chengni inkstone is one of the traditional handicrafts and one of the traditional calligraphy tools. It began in the Han Dynasty and flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties. It has a history of more than a thousand years.

Since the Tang Dynasty, Duan Inkstone, She Inkstone, Taohe Inkstone and Chengni Inkstone have been collectively known as the"Four Famous Inkstones".

Chengni inkstone is processed and fired with special clay. Depending on the firing process and time, it can be of various colors. Some inkstones have multiple colors. Particular attention is paid to the carving technology, including relief, semi-embossed, three-dimensional, through and other varieties.

Chengni inkstone is processed and fired by using fine washed mud as raw material. Therefore, the texture of Chengni inkstone is as fine as baby's skin. It also has the ability to store water without drying up, endure cold weather, and produce ink without damaging the hair. It has the characteristics of moistening and absorbing water, which is comparable to that of fine stone inkstones, so it has been praised by many people in the past.

This inkstone from Dongtai Kingdom is no worse than the Venus Dragon Tail Inkstone obtained by Lu Yan.

Although not very big, it is very delicate and beautiful.

The body shapes of Chengni inkstones include circles, ellipses, semicircles, squares, rectangles, and random shapes.

The inkstone in Lu Yan's hand is oval-shaped.

It is carved with various exquisite patterns, including landscapes, pavilions, and pavilions.

It's like a fairyland.

The carving styles of Chengni inkstones include trumpets, ear bottles, two turtles sitting on the waves, sea beasts roaring at the moon, eight monsters fighting against water, and antique stone canals and pavilion tiles.

The plane carvings include landscape figures, grass, trees and flowers, animals and birds; there are also rhinos looking at the moon, Taishan White Pagoda, Chang'e flying to the moon, etc.

These carved inkstones, knives and pens are concise and exquisite in craftsmanship.

This clear mud inkstone is called Qishan Shimmer, and it depicts the scenery of Qishan Mountain.

The Qishan Glimmer is no less precious than Lu Yan’s Venus Dragon Tail Inkstone.

The main method is to make it, but it takes a lot of trouble. It will take one or two years just to wash and clear the mud. After the mud is out,"let it dry, add the yellow pill ball and search it like noodles, make two molds like a tea maker, hit it with something, and let it dry." It is strong. Use a bamboo knife to carve it into the shape of an inkstone, of any size. Dry it in a slight shade, then carve it with a sharp knife according to the method, expose it, stack it on the ground in the empty space, stir it with rice bran and yellow cow dung, and burn it for a while."

Then it is steamed several times with black wax and rice vinegar.

Such a complicated process makes the inkstone as strong as iron stone.

Pure mud inkstones are extremely rare, and top quality ones are even more difficult to find. One of the reasons for this is that the production process is complicated and the output is very low. In addition, among stone inkstones, the best inkstones should be better than the clay inkstones, and of course more of them have been passed down for a long time than the clay inkstones.

By the Qing Dynasty, Chengni inkstones had declined and declined. There were occasionally better ones, but most of them were secular products.

······

Qishan Glimmer is both a treasure and a prop.

The calligraphy and painting ability increases by 3, and at the same time, the attributes of pen and ink can be perfectly maintained.
