Chapter 142: The Imperial Robe

Although this time she retreated all the priests and cut off all the power of Muzili... But Muzili is not someone else. She was originally determined, smart and capable, and what could make her feel embarrassed was extraordinary.

But Muzi and Li Shi didn't say it.

Wang Hua didn't ask.

He has different ideas and ideas from people in this world. Even his wife, he absolutely respects her privacy.

And among the few women, the one he believed most was Muzi and Li, and there was no other. Let’s not talk about Li Chiying. Behind her, she was supported by the emperor and the crown prince, and Li Guer had declined, and she was also a member of the royal family. Li Xuejun also had a wealthy family, but Wang Han’s family was the most famous family in this era, namely Li Hong and a brother.

But Muzi Li has no other relative except himself. If he is honored, Muzi Li will be honored. If he is humiliated, Muzi Li will be humiliated.

Then Li Chengqi stayed in Lingzhou for three days and wandered around.

It surprised him. He came here once last year, but in less than a year, Lingzhou developed again. For example, from the people's clothes and large workshops pouring out from outside Lingzhou City, it can be seen that it was. Even the original Lingzhou City could no longer live in the current people, and many people built houses outside the city. And there was not even a single city wall. This was also a kind of confidence.

Li Chengqi even thought of one thing: If Wang Hua was asked to move along the surrounding areas of the Tang Dynasty, such as staying in the northwest for a few years, then staying in the southwest for a few years, or staying in the north for a few years. These poor areas of the Tang Dynasty might have been solved.

This idea is not without reason.

After all, today's officials embezzle on the one hand, but on the other hand, they look down on merchants. Therefore, they are not familiar with commerce, which leads to the poorest and most chaotic borders. In fact, this is the wrong governance method.

There is a sea in the south and the Silk Road in the northwest. But there are also Turks in the north, which can drive economic development through the exchange of goods between the two countries, complement each other. The same is true for the southwest. Of course, the governance of the southwest is even more difficult, after all, mountains and forests have become the biggest resistance. But it will definitely not be like this now.

But the question is, can the Tang Dynasty afford Wang Hua now?

It’s just that you can afford it, how to use it if you dare to use it?

Three days later, he left with satisfaction.

Wang Hua once again focused his energy on the Kyushu Cauldron, and conquered the existing porcelain techniques one by one. This made Wang Hua feel that there were many people, which means there were many ideas. He had a broad mind, which was the main reason for overcoming various technical difficulties this time.

Next, in addition to supervising the production of the tripod, Wang Hua also devoted his energy to four kinds of porcelain.

Bone porcelain, this is the only porcelain fired by Westerners.

After Chinese porcelain was introduced to Europe, it was Ruo's treasure. In the hands of Wang Hua, the high-end porcelain fired from several porcelain kilns in Jiangnan could even be exchanged for equal amounts of gold when exported to Europe. It was also shocking in history, especially a piece of porcelain, which is the porcelain that Wang Hua wanted to fire next, thin-body porcelain.

Europeans describe it as thinner than paper, whiter than milk, and more transparent than glass. This is somewhat exaggerated. What is the value of such thin porcelain in Europe at that time? A piece of porcelain can be exchanged for an army.

There is no profit to get up early. Under such huge profits, Europeans also began to imitate Chinese porcelain, but they did not succeed. It was not until modern technology developed that they began to burn out various Chinese porcelains. But there was no way, but unexpectedly, in this kind of research, an unexpected thing happened.

British William Walson added bone meal to clay, and a new kind of porcelain appeared, which was bone porcelain.

Compared with thin-body porcelain, it has many disadvantages. First, the thickness cannot be reduced. Until modern technological innovation, it is difficult to reach one to two millimeters, while the thickness of the fine-body porcelain is less than half a millimeter. Second, it has a slightly reddish color in its tone, which cannot achieve a truly high white color. Third, because it needs to add a large amount of bone powder, even if the bones are not expensive, it was so difficult to grind bones in ancient times. Therefore, the cost is huge.

Later, the price of bone porcelain was generally much higher than that of various Chinese porcelains. The first reason for this was that the country was backward and Western countries were advanced. There was no way. People were advanced and their things were good. In addition, bone porcelain was specially used by British royal nobles. The price was to hold it up. Of course, it also had many advantages.

The first is that the porcelain is delicate and transparent, the shape is elegant, the colored surface is moist, and the flower surface is gorgeous. The second is that the porcelain is free of lead and cadmium, which is considered an environmentally friendly porcelain. The third is that the porcelain is light, strong and hard, twice that of daily porcelain, and is not easy to wear and crack.

Why let Westerners burn it first?

In addition, it is indeed an excellent porcelain. With this mentality, Wang Hua intends to study it on this opportunity and serve as one of the original materials of the eighty-one pattern.

He remembered that the formula was burned, and the ratio of ashes to porcelain stone and clay was 50:25:25.

But I don’t remember this ratio and it can be fired immediately. It also requires repeated development. With the help of many helpers, this porcelain technology has gradually matured.

Then we arrived at the second type of porcelain, shell porcelain. Strictly speaking, it and the third type of porcelain pearl porcelain are both bone porcelain, and they are the highest-end porcelain among bone porcelain. Shell porcelain is made of high white mud and high white glaze and shell powder. The whiteness, transparency and gloss are better than other porcelains. It is one of the best porcelains in the world. It is also the only porcelain suitable for microwave ovens.

Another type of pearl is to add pearls when burning porcelain. Many of the ingredients of pearls are similar to shells, but they are more magical than shell porcelain. However, pearl porcelain can be classified as treasure-burning porcelain, that is, gold, silver, pearls, and agate are mixed into porcelain body. People used this way in the Ming Dynasty in China. Even at all costs, rubies were made into powder and added to porcelain body to burn porcelain.

Wang Hua was speechless about this method of burning porcelain.

These two kinds of porcelain are beautiful, but because the cost is too high, there has been no industrial production.

However, Wang Hua only planned to burn a porcelain painting, after all, it was used on the Kyushu Cauldron, which was not considered a luxury.

But Wang Hua did not have too much respect for these three types of porcelain. However, the last type of porcelain made him very attentive, which was thin-body porcelain.

Thin-body porcelain is also called eliminating porcelain and eggshell porcelain. It was originally from the shadow celadon of the Northern Song Dynasty. Because of its thinness and lightness, the literati used the sentence "I am afraid that the wind will blow away, but I am worried about the day when I look for it." In the Ming Dynasty, a porcelain master named Hao Shijiu made an egg curtain cup, which weighed 48 or 2, which was less than a gram. You can imagine how thin it was.

It is precisely because of this thin, light, transparent and bright that when you go to Europe, a piece of porcelain can be exchanged for an army.

However, this kind of porcelain process is very complex, with more than 40 processes in total, and three times firing. Among them, the process of making a blank is refined from refining to meticulous refining. The renovation requires hundreds of times to be repeated before the two or three millimeters of fine blank is repaired into a half millimeter thin blank. Such a thin blank can also be painted with blue and white patterns or pastel patterns on it.

Wang Hua had always wanted to make it. First, the craftsmanship was not mature, second, the glaze was not complete, and third, there were not so many skilled workers to help him.

Now all these headaches have been solved one by one, so Wang Hua has raised this thought again.

But this kind of porcelain is purely for enjoyment, and it is not very suitable as a porcelain picture on the tripod.

Of course, he could not be buried in the porcelain. The entire tripod is the most important thing. Although this thin-body porcelain is the real number one porcelain in the world after it is fired.

But it is always a handicraft without the symbolic meaning of a tripod.

Therefore, he spent most of his time running around various workshops every day.

After a few months, thousands of apprentices gradually became proficient, which improved efficiency.

In fact, this time, the apprentices, except for those from the northwest and Oceania, later all major families and merchants, filled thousands of people in again. Wang Hua disagreed. These people said that they would not provide compensation for Wang Hua, and even the apprentices were paid for their own money to subsidize them for food, drink, clothing and housing.

The purpose is not to curry favor with Wang Hua, but to learn craftsmanship.

Wang Hua had no choice but to agree. Not only were they, but they also had selfish intentions. For example, in Oceania, many smart young men were transferred, but they had nothing to do with porcelain, mainly gold and silver.

After all, there are many gem minerals in Oceania or further south America. But Wang Hua knew which is the place of origin of raw materials or the processing industry. Just like the diamonds in Africa, has it brought wealth to the locals? No, it brought war. However, the biggest profit recipients, such as the Netherlands and other countries, were safe and sound.

Exporting raw materials is not a long-term solution, but exporting finished products is the right way.

However, the accommodation of these apprentices has brought the number of people participating in the making of the tripod to close to 20,000.

But as soon as Li Chengqi left, Dafeng and Sanfeng arrived together, and they also came to visit him specially.

When Wang Hua saw them, he joked: "I thought you had a husband and forgot your parents' home."

This is a joke. At this time, the woman strictly controls the concept of the married daughter and the water she poured out.

Of course, there are some people.

When they got married, they had to take care of their husbands and children in their husbands' family. Not only were they, but Wang Han and others, when they had conflicts with themselves, they just wanted to mediate, but they did not ignore their own interests for their parents' family. Wang Hua never forced Dafeng and Sanfeng, and even at the most dangerous time, they were unwilling to leave Chang'an, and Wang Hua was always accommodating.

Who knew that Dafeng and Sanfeng were a little ashamed after hearing this.

Wang Hua didn't dare to joke anymore. Now, no matter Zhang Jiuling or Yan Tingzhi, it is different from his own ideas, and it is difficult for them to be human beings in the middle.

After entering the mansion, the two of them immediately became happy. After all, Wang Hua came out of the Wang family, not to mention that Wang Hua has created a great foundation now, even Wang Hua himself has five men and two women. Although he may not be able to grow up safely with children at this time, and the survival rate is less than two-thirds. But with so many children, the Wang family will no longer be as weak as before.

Since they were here, Wang Hua left them behind and stayed for a few more days.

But unexpectedly, a few days later, Elva Hsiao came to Lingzhou in person.

When Wang Hua was surprised to see Elva Hsiao. Even if he gave birth to a child for Li Hong, he should not come to Lingzhou. Now a group of religious people are moving to Oceania and the South China Islands. Their affairs are busy, so why did he come to Lingzhou?

Wang Hua vaguely felt that something bad happened.

After a few words, Elva Hsiao brought into the house.

Elva Hsiao said something. Since Wang Hua made a reconciliation with the court last year and helped Li Longji kill Zhu Wei, the fact that Wang Hua will come to Oceania in person has spread to Oceania. Later, Li Guer and Li Chongjun went to Oceania one after another.

Wang Hua's father, Li Guer and others were about to celebrate the Chinese New Year last year, and they captured the managers of Oceania and supported Wang Hua as the emperor.

Wang Hua's father Wang Yi called himself the Supreme Emperor.

At this time, Dafeng and Sanfeng did not leave, and they were also sitting in the living room. They were stunned when they heard that their father wanted to be the emperor.

Wang Hua also frowned.

Elva Hsiao continued, because of Wang Hua's various schools of peace, Elva Hsiao vaguely guessed that Wang Hua did not seem to be an emperor.

Wang Hua nodded. Although he has not yet come up with a good solution, Oceania is deliberately supporting it and not allowing it to go to the path of imperialism.

At the beginning, the management was very loose, and the family management method was used. Of course, the number of people increased, one million, two million, and three million. Until the end of last year, it was impossible to use the family system to manage it.

However, it was still evacuated, sending several close confidants to manage various places. It did not have great power. People from all over the country also sent their own representatives to discuss and deal with the matters together. The feudal system and democratic parliamentary system were the only people who enjoyed this system. There were only Tang people in other races, and very few were all loyal or made great contributions.

The most important thing that has moved now is the suffering people, which is easy to satisfy. In addition, the first group of people who went to Oceania were the confidants of Wang Hua's men, and they also became core members of Oceania's rights. Therefore, there was no big misunderstanding.

Especially on various islands, they only communicate with the outside world by boats, and the ships were firmly controlled by Wang Hua. Therefore, except for the indigenous people and slaves, no one developed ambitions and rebelled against independence.

Later, Wang Hua saw more people and expanded the rights of the parliament again. However, the elected representatives were respected people, and they could not be less than forty years old. This is to avoid another problem. After all, the people who moved there were mainly people below the level of people, and there was no perfect law. Sometimes they wanted to solve problems with their fists at every turn. However, managing a region cannot be settled by fists, which requires wisdom and virtue.

So Elva Hsiao said a fair word and first report to Wang Hua.

But at this time, Wang Yi's beautiful concubine Dai'er spoke, and she said, "Erlang has a naive personality. If he reports, he will disagree. It's better to take action first and then report."

Wang Hua wiped his sweat. Could this be a copy of the imperial robe?

This sentence was expressed not only with the consent of most people, but also with Lu Ergou who returned to Oceania.

Wang Yi is Wang Hua's father. Although Li Guer did not get married to Wang Hua, everyone knows her relationship with Wang Hua. There is also Shangguan Wan'er who has just arrived in Oceania. She has a sharp tongue that makes Song Wen and Elva Hsiao unable to refute.

As these people were rushing, Elva Hsiao and Song Wenquan were immediately exhausted.

Now the main affairs in Oceania have become the three chariots of Wang Yi, Li Guer and Shangguan Wan'er. Wang Yi himself has no opinion, but there is the concubine behind him. It turns out that Elva Hsiao and the others didn't know about this woman, so she went to Oceania to be very stable. Now that she walked out of the front desk, she realized that this woman was extremely deep in her mind.

Three women were playing together. Elva Hsiao and Song Wen were helpless when they saw it, so they had to quietly let Elva Hsiao come to Lingzhou and ask Wang Hua for an emergency. They really came quietly, otherwise they would be worried that their lives would be in danger.

Wang Hua said, "No hurry, I'll think of a solution."

However, his face was not very good. Now the imperial system is deeply rooted in people's hearts, so Wang Hua gradually used this extensive management system and gradually transitioned from patriarchal to parliamentary system. It was not that he immediately adopted the parliamentary system, but that the people personally felt that there was an opportunity to be the master of the country.

This sketch has just been constructed and the effect is also good. But once the imperial system is restored and I want to reconstruct the painting, there will be serious turmoil.
To be continued...
