Chapter 56: Dashi kiln, Persian pottery

"It's not a matter of face. Goujian lost face when he slept on firewood and tasted gall. "The whole Wu State. Taizong also shook hands with the two Turkic khans. What about the last two khans? They are not self-reliant. Even if you give face, you can't keep it."

Wu Zetian slapped again and shouted OK.

"It is mainly righteousness, because it is a vassal state. Our Great Zhou can attack and retreat and defend. If they offend us, they are the following offenders and attack the master with servants. This is of great benefit to the military and boosting the morale of the army. And if the surrounding vassal states follow the examples because of Mochu's incident, it will be a huge disaster for our Great Zhou." Speaking of this, Wang Hua sighed and thought, after all, it is still a matter of strength. If it is at the hands of Li Shimin or Han Wu, you will be defeated and you will be defeated.

But now the military power of the Tang Dynasty is no longer allowed to do so.

In fact, it did not have a great influence on the Hu people. As Wang Hua said, there was no king or minister, no father or son, and when the father died, he rushed forward to see the father's daughter. Whoever had a big fist would be the one who would belong to him, especially Wang Zhaojun, who was so miserable. After serving me, I went to my son and then to my grandson. But the impact on the morale of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty was obvious. However, there were some Hu ministers and Hu generals present, and Wang Hua did not talk about it in depth.

"But Lian didn't understand. Apart from beating Ju, what did the Turks use to compete with our Great Zhou for the excellence of porcelain and yawanqu books?"

Wang Hua thought for a while and said, "It should be said that the general navigation technique comes from the Western Regions, including the Jinshan area in Longyou. Many Turks can use excellent batik and Burmese dyeing methods, including weaving silk. Perhaps the Hu people pioneered the weaving technique."

These two dyeing methods were found very early. It was not invented by Liu Jieshu's sister, but she made improvements. But the specific era of Wang Hua was not clear, but he remembered that the earliest related cultural relics unearthed were all in Xinjiang. However, at that time it was Tuyuhun, Tiel and Turkic people. Now the Uyghun are descendants of the Uighurs. But this race is hard to say. After thousands of years of ethnic integration, there are pure Han races, but the proportion is smaller than the proportion of ginseng and royal bee in ginseng royal jelly.

Wang Hua thought for a moment and suddenly lit up his eyes and said, "There are two ways to find the answer. One is to check whether there were any excellent craftsmen who came to Qianhang when the last time Moshu invaded Taiyuan. And whether there were particularly excellent craftsmen in the north who were sent to the Central Plains."

Another point, Wang Hua did not say that yachts are not like silk weaving. There are many official institutions, mostly private workshops. Ninety percent of them belong to the eleven surnames of Taiyuan, Wang, Guo, Huo, Liao, Hao, Wen, Ju, Yan, Xianyu, Linghu, and Wei. But these eleven surnames are closely related to the Turks because of their business dealings, let alone the four surnames of the Hu people. Besides, Liangzhou, there are even Hu people living together. The famous Duan, Shentu, and Chi are all Hu people. I hope these people are conservative in technology?

As long as Mochu promises some lights, all kinds of techniques will be sold. Besides, the Turks have the foundation to make yachts.

Although Mochuo's peace talks this time only won him a chance to breathe, who said he didn't want to win? If he wins, it wouldn't be important. At least he could see what Wang Hua could see. It was only of great benefit to him, and this was not a marching battle. It required a large number of soldiers to sacrifice, so why not do it?

There are also porcelains, and I can’t think about them, but I think about them a lot of problems. He is very busy now and has not asked much about it. He cannot underestimate the imitation ability of Chinese people. Whether it is the imitation of Jun porcelain, imitation of Ding porcelain, Ding white, Ding black, sauce-color porcelain, tea-skin porcelain, imitation of Ruqing, or his own blue and white, underglaze three-color and five-color, some have begun to imitate them, and some have even seduced the technicians on the porcelain kilns of the three-stored porcelain.

Anyway, there is no law that stipulates that it is a crime to steal technology. Some people have imitated it. Even so, shopkeeper He went to Chang'an and said to him with a sad face, "If this continues, after three or four, all the technology will be mastered and there is no need to keep it confidential." He also gave him a look at the bill, because a large number of imitations appeared, the benefits of the porcelain kiln began to gradually decline.

Of course, the benefits of other concubine kilns are still incomparable.

Wang Hua patted him on the shoulder and made him feel at ease. Once the sea ship test is over and the voyage begins, perhaps Manager He will not take the financial resources of the porcelain kiln seriously.

With these imitation porcelains, they are definitely incomparable with the Wang family's major porcelain kilns. But Wang Hua thought of another thing: Dashi is to the west of the Turks.

Dashi Kiln!

The Dashi Kiln here is not a porcelain or bricks or tiles, but copper. "Those who use copper as the body and use medicine to burn five-color flowers are similar to the Folang inlay. I have seen incense burners, vases, boxes, cups, etc., but they can be used in women's boudoirs, not as a literati and official study room, and are also called the Guiguo Kiln.

"What Cao Zhao in "Gegu's Essence" mentioned here in the early Ming Dynasty is cloisonné enamel, and one more word is cloisonné.

Cloisonne is not a traditional Chinese culture. It is an alien culture that appeared after it was introduced to China in the Yuan Dynasty. First, Dashirenyao, and later it was Chinese. However, with the efforts of Chinese artists, the craftsmanship has far exceeded that of Dashirenyao. Only in some aspects of Jing Qinlan, there are still some shadows of Dashirenyao.

Then after the Chinese cloisonne was introduced to Japan, Japan itself had a strong copper burning process, but I don’t know the specific formula, and it was burned with another craft, Qibaoyao. However, the prices of the two crafts cannot be compared. A piece of Qibaoyao can be auctioned on the market for at most tens of thousands of yuan, but an authentic cloisonne can be at least hundreds of thousands of yuan, and the best can reach millions.

But it may have been introduced to China earlier. Gu Wenjian of the Southern Song Dynasty recorded in "Fuxuan Miscellaneous Records": "I got a bottle with copper as the embryo, made it with leather, and painted the strange and strange shapes of foreigners. It is like glass, which is extremely skillful, and I don't know what it is." This is still the Dashi Kiln, which shows that this kind of artifact was found in the Southern Song Dynasty.

It further proves that Dashi and Eastern Rome's cloisonné enamel "60s earlier, and in the early Tang Dynasty, many species appeared earlier than the Tang Dynasty. The art of art was Xu Ke, and came to the old archaeologists and found that the Tang Dynasty also had its own metal cloisonné enamel technology. For some reason, this technology was not passed down. After Wang Hua arrived in this world, he had not seen it appear in the Tang Dynasty, and maybe it had not appeared yet. But he saw some metal finning shadows on some units imported from Persia. But the technology was very backward. Or was this technology that once appeared in the Tang Dynasty, which was also introduced from Dashi?

Wang Hua was not worried about the Dashi Kiln. Because Mochu did not make an appointment with the bronze ware, he was afraid that the Dashi Kiln would trigger another thing, enamel porcelain. Cloisonné was made of enamel pomelo on copper body. If it was changed to enamel pomelo on porcelain body, it was called enamel color. This kind of porcelain started in the late Kangxi period, and was at its peak from the Yongzheng period to the Qianlong period. The enamel color level in the Yongzheng period was the most beautiful and the craftsmanship was the most beautiful. Then another new porcelain. A kind of pomelo color was created in the late Kangxi period based on the five-color porcelain and was influenced by the production process of enamel porcelain. This is the pink porcelain that was known as the four famous porcelains in China, together with blue and white porcelain, Linglong porcelain, and color pomelo porcelain.

When the appearance of pink porcelain, the porcelain has bright and bright colors, and the pink and softness is so unparalleled. However, the production of enamel is made of high-quality plain white porcelain fired in Jingdezhen and then baked by enamel glaze on the paintings in the palace. The painting skills are extremely high, and the processing level is strictly controlled. If there are defects, it will be broken. Since the enamel utensils are specially used for the royal family of Gongyan and cannot be lost outward, so the quantity is very small, but the price in the collection industry exceeds the price of pink porcelain. Even a small bowl may be auctioned on the market for millions of dollars. Wang Hua once spent more than five million to buy a small bowl of yellow enamel, and even he felt a pain when he bought it. There is no way, there are too few such porcelains.

Even if the enamel porcelain is not neglected, the same color is bright and light. If Mochu now can let his subordinates spread some of the technologies that have been passed down from the three porcelain kilns, and the technology of the Dashi Kiln is combined, even if the counterfeit enamel porcelain is burned, Wang Hua will lose if he is not prepared.

We must not underestimate human wisdom, just like because of his appearance. The quality of porcelain in the Tang Dynasty can be described as rapid development. Even if the three technologies are kept secret, the porcelain of the Tang Dynasty can still develop to the peak of the Song Dynasty in another fifty years.

There is also the same, Persian pottery!

That is, the pottery produced by the Persians is not porcelain, but a kind of green pottery.

Wang Hua has already paid attention to the scene. This kind of green pottery has many pomelo materials used, which are blue and white materials.

The influence of this pigment on Chinese porcelain is not only Yuan blue and white, but also Jun porcelain. Jun porcelain is commonly found in various glaze colors such as rose purple, crabapple red, moon white, sky blue, etc. However, later some peacock blue, eggplant skin purple medium-warm pomelo, sauce glaze, white porcelain, white ground black flowers and other varieties were unearthed. Among them, peacock blue pomelo appeared under Persian pottery.

Gongxian Kiln also produced blue and white porcelain. There are also cultural relics unearthed. In fact, it is strictly blue and white pottery, which was in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. This point can be verified now because he has not seen the prototype of the earliest blue and white porcelain in the Gongxian Kiln. However, it is verified that the materials used for this blue and white porcelain were introduced from Persia, so it must be that Gongxian porcelain craftsmen were inspired by Persian pottery. Otherwise, how could they know that there was such pigment thousands of miles away?

It cannot be ignored. If the Turks used the correct materials and then used Persian blue and white. The blue and white burned first must be brighter than the blue and white ones in the painter Wang.

But when I think about it this way, I will turn around and talk about Qianhang. The best in the world is not in the Tang Dynasty. But in Dashi. Every year, Dashi merchants took away a large amount of silk, silk, cotton, lacquer, porcelain, paper, tea, etc. from China, and then shipped foreign spices, medicinal materials, jewelry, glass, and cotton cloth to the Tang Dynasty. As for the yacht produced in the Tang Dynasty, they may be very fond of it. But they were not willing to travel far and then transported the consumption back to sell.

In fact, the yacht produced by Dashi is slightly better than the Tang Dynasty. There are several volumes among painters Wang. In addition to the bright colors, the weaver is also very fine and wears some gold and silver filaments.

Of course, I can't think so. If Mochu had the ability to move all the exquisite handicrafts of the Eastern Roman Empire to the Tang Dynasty to compete with the Tang Dynasty. Then some of them were played. But I must be careful. Mochu is not just a martial artist. This person is extremely delicate. Since he proposed these three competitions, especially porcelain, he would not know that the porcelain produced by his own family must have some unexpected preparations. There is also a favorable condition that the Turks and the cannibals are closer to each other.

But Wang Hua was not afraid. He had to prepare time and conditions for him to take all the handicrafts in the world. In most aspects, Wang Hua would definitely win.

Thinking of this, Wang Hua said: "You can agree to them, but please ask the emperor to let me deal with the first two games in person."

"Including Hanghang?" Wu Zetian asked suspiciously. If lacquer porcelain was done by a male technician, yacht and silk fabrics are now work done by women.

"Yes, I am afraid that Mo Chuo will also bring the craftsmanship of Dashi to the Turks to pretend. At that time, with him rubbing some of the craftsmanship of our Dazhou, our Dazhou may not be successful. The craftsmanship is well understood, but the ministers in the court are not interested except for the ministers. I have seen some yaks and were inspired by some inspiration. Of course, I don't need to take action on this, but I can give some guidance on it."

None of them opposed it. In this regard, they did not have the authority to speak. In fact, Wang Hua was invited today, which was why Wang Hua valued Wang Hua.

"Also, since they have proposed the porcelain, they may have seen some exquisite porcelains from our Great Zhou. In order to grasp a little, I have to make them again with my own hands. But I don't know how long it will take for them to make the battle?"

Not to mention porcelain, he also got a trip to Jiangnan. He said that Hang Yi Xunshushang added the different body clam muscles of the "pure year, made. The front and back were patterned, cooked, dyed yarn, spitting and knotting, flat blanket, blanket, blanket, washing, cutting, trimming and other processing. Such a tedious process makes it take several months or even one or two years to complete. However, Wang Hua also estimated that the Turks would not compete immediately.

Porcelain is to combine the process and materials of various places, and it cannot be burned out immediately. If this is the case, the porcelain kilns of the Tang Dynasty had not been burned out from three families. This has to be tried and studied. There is also the same truth. He bought three of the best Dashi Yahang and said, "This is made by us Turks, let's compete. This cannot be done because Dashi has the style of Dashi, and the Turks have the style of Turks. Even the styles produced in Taiyuan in the Tang Dynasty are different from those produced in Liangzhou.

Take out the Yaihae of Dashi, and you don’t need an insider to identify it, even a noble lady can recognize it at a glance.

It's right.

Even if Mochuo was shameless, he would not be so shameless. Therefore, it is possible that he hired some craftsmen, including the Tang people in Taiyuan, the Tang people in Liangzhou, and the big cannibals, and then gathered together to improve and manufactured products. At least they had a strong Turkic style, so that the Tang Dynasty would be convinced.

Therefore, it all takes time.

However, he didn't know the specific time because when Mo Hegan came to the court to discuss the matter, Wang Hua was not present at the scene.

"Three times at the same time, Wang Qing, have you seen enough?" Wu Zetian asked.

Wang Hua is sure to win these two games, and it is not a big problem to lose the last game of Polo. Of course, Wang Hua cannot intervene. Football is a pseudo-fan, with only a few understandings, and can barely see what offside means. He doesn't understand tactics at all. Moreover, polo and football are two different things and cannot be used as a reference.

"Three times at the same time?" Wang Hua thought about it and it seemed that this matter might be arranged for the retreat of the three-month army. Otherwise, it would not be so short. This was a bit unfair to the Tang Dynasty. However, at this time, Wang Hua forgot something, and he competed with people with an additional 1,300 years of craft knowledge. I don't know which one is unfair and the time is a bit tight. Especially Wang Hua had to delay the road for nearly a month.

"Are there any problems? Or you can notify them. The competition can be done, but it will be a little later." Lao Wu's words can be established. In negotiations, the other party is allowed to make conditions and allow himself to bargain.

"No, but please send people. Cooperate with me and grab this time back." "Of course, it is related to the national system and the destiny of the country. It is not your business, nor is it a matter of the Union. It is a major matter of the country and requires manpower and materials. The Union provides great assistance to the Union

"But I still have a question, where is the location of the three contests, and who is the notary?"

"The place is in Xijing, and the notary Na Mochu said that he asked the Union to serve as envoys from various countries in Xijing. There is no need to doubt that this will be detrimental to our country."

After hearing this, Wang Hua became suspicious again. It was not bad. But it was too good. What the hell was Mochu doing? Sifu for a while, and he said again: "Prevent Huang Gai."

"What does it have to do with Huang Gai?" asked Zong Chuke, the assistant minister of the Xia Palace.

Tang Xiuhao frowned slightly. Wang Huaping attacked His Majesty inappropriately, and this Zong Chuke was probably the first to be hit. What is the use of putting this person in the army? It is just a worm that can earn another salary. He said: "Zongqing, you are the Minister of the Xia Palace. Can you read more military books on weekdays? What Wang Qing meant is Huang Gai's open surrender and attack in secret, and the pseudo-submitted fireboats to burn Cao's army. He pointed out that Mochu might use the competition of Yai Pian Ju to divert the attention of our Great Zhou army, and then take the opportunity to attack our Zhou Dynasty, and find out that Lai Xue was defeated by Yangcai Ling last time. Can you not even understand this?"

Wang Hua saw this scene a little funny. After the past few months in the capital, he had some understanding of the movements of some major ministers. Strictly speaking, Emperor Tang was the Wei and Li faction. However, Tang Xiuhao was more loyal to Li Xian, that is, the orthodox Li dynasty. Zong Chuke was the son of Wu Zetian's cousin. No matter how close he was to Wei, he might be the direct descendant of the Wei family. However, because he was disagreeing with Emperor Wu Yizong, he was demoted for a period of time.

This relationship is very complicated. I am afraid that Princess Li Dan and Princess Taiping's side will also have this and that contradiction.

Tang Xiuhao said to Wang Hua again: "Wang Qing, think comprehensively and cautiously. With time, he will not let down your mentor's entrustedness."

Wang Hua bowed and said, "I dare not. Shangshu Tang praised him."

Wu Zetian smiled slightly, a little satisfied. Both of them were pushed up by her. Tang Xiuhao has grown into an important official in the court. Wang Hua performed well today. Not only did he dare to give advice, but he also pointed out the current shortcomings. In a few years, it is not impossible to become the second Qiu Renjie.

This matter was decided at this point. Wu Zetian immediately issued an order to let the soldiers of Hebei border guards take strict precautions in the past few months, and also asked some eunuchs and soldiers to go to various places to collect the materials needed by Wang Hua, including blankets. Some famous blanket makers from Liangzhou and Taiyuan also invited some famous blanket makers to come and compromise immediately. However, because of the tight time, at Wang Hua's suggestion, some palace maids in the palace who could make blankets were gathered together. Wang Hua will teach them a new technique.

Then disperse.

In fact, many ministers were reluctant to leave and wanted to see how Wang Hua made Qianhang. This was a bit strange. Not only were they, Wu Zetian, also followed Wang Hua and came to the harem to see what was going on.

But this also means that the third battle of Wang Hua's handicrafts has begun!

But the first battle was paint, the second battle was porcelain. The third battle was a combination of porcelain and blankets. The nature of the three battles was also different. The first battle was to help Baolinzhai. The second battle was for his own family, but the third battle was for the country.
