Chapter 15 Porcelain clay is hard to find

The future troubles must be eradicated, otherwise they will pay an extremely heavy price when they are attacked in the future.

This is a lesson that Gu Qing learned in his previous life.

Of course, the best way to eradicate future troubles is to kill people, but Gu Qing is not so cruel that way, even if killing people is not illegal, he can't bear to hand him a knife.

You can't kill it, and you can't let it go. It doesn't matter, Gu Qing has many ways to eliminate future troubles.

The Ding brothers are still locked up in the firewood house, not only locked up, but also educated and baptized every day.

Song Gensheng gathered more than a dozen villagers outside the door, the villagers' condition was a little miserable, some were too young, some were too old, the ancient people were old, and more than a dozen people stood in a row as if the four generations were in the same hall to take a family photo.

Gu Qing looked at the row of yellow-skinned villagers in front of him and sighed. It will be used, and it will be good if you don't lack arms and legs.

Taking out a handful of copper coins from the jar, Gu Qing gave each of them five wen, telling them that this was a reward, and what they had to do was to go up the mountain and down the river, walk through every inch of land near the mountain village, find a very viscous soil, and if they could meet it, they would sample it and bring it back, and there would be another reward.

The villagers looked at each other with bewildered expressions.

Gu Qing had to patiently explain, telling them what the clay looked like, pale reddish and slightly white blue-gray high clay, this kind of thing is more common, and it is found on the slopes of the river beach.

The conditions are not enough, can only be fired first for the time being, porcelain needs special porcelain clay, the porcelain clay from a place called "Gaoling" in the Jiangnan region in the later generations is very famous, if you don't know this place, "Jingdezhen" must be known to everyone, Gaoling is next door to Jingdezhen. (Note: During the Tang Tianbao period, Jingdezhen was named "Fuliang")

It is precisely because of the kaolin that Jingdezhen porcelain will be famous all over the world.

Of course, the so-called "kaolin" is just a name, in fact, it is a kind of mineral soil, not only kaolin this place produces this kind of soil, many Daozhou in Datang have produced it.

Whether there is a kaolin mine near Qingcheng Mountain in Shuzhou, I don't know at present, Gu Qing can only burn pottery, but the follow-up is still very promising. Yesterday, I inquired with Song Gensheng that kaolin is in circulation among merchants in the Tang Dynasty, that is, kaolin can be bought with money.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial court has set up an official office, called the "Zhen Official Office", which is in charge of the affairs of the relatively unpopular affairs, they are in charge of building materials and decorative materials, including bricks, stones, clay and so on.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the Zhen official office still exists, subordinate to the general as a supervisor, the Zhen official office in the early years of the Tang Dynasty is only responsible for the royal and official construction materials, after the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the bustling profit and profit, the Zhen official office went to the sea.

Nowadays, it has also opened many distribution channels among the people, and merchants from the south to the north have become its dealers, responsible for the exchange of various building materials and decorative materials between the north and the south, and kaolin is also one of them. As long as you find the right businessman, you can buy kaolin.

"If you find clay, you can make porcelain?" Song Gensheng was a little excited, he didn't know what Gu Qing was going to do next and how to do it, but he faintly realized that as long as he followed Gu Qing, his life would definitely be different from before.

Gu Qing shook his head: "Clay can only burn pottery, not porcelain, porcelain must be burned with porcelain clay." ”

"Isn't it okay to burn it with coal?"

"No, I can't. The two most important things for burning porcelain are fire, which must be high enough, and soil, which must be specific to the clay. One is indispensable. ”

Song Gensheng scratched his head in disappointment.

Gu Qing smiled: "But the quality of the pottery we burn with coal will also be extraordinary, if we can find a suitable businessman, we can live a good life." ”

Patting Song Gensheng on the shoulder, Gu Qing said with a smile: "Making money is not as hard as farming, with money, you can do a lot of things you want to do in the future, such as building a big house for yourself, you can buy two cows for your family, which girl you like can easily take out Nacai's money......"

As mentioned earlier, Song Gensheng was soft and slumped and had no interest, but when it came to the topic of marrying his mother-in-law, Song Gensheng was in high spirits and swept away the listless decline.

"That's right! I made money to give Uncle Yang a dowry! Song Gensheng stroked his palms excitedly.

Gu Qing was dumbfounded: "You give a dowry to your uncle?" What a beast, so hello this bite...... Stimulate! ”

Song Gensheng was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked: "I didn't mean that!" You are mistaken! It's not my uncle, it's Aunt Yang's daughter Xiu'er, I want to marry Xiu'er! ”

"Is Xiu'er the girl you sneaked at today?"

"Yes," Song Gensheng lowered his head and said in a sullen voice, "You can't say 'sneaky', right?" The sage said: Don't look at incivility, I want to be a gentleman, but sometimes I can't help but look at her......"

"Tsk!" Gu Qing's teeth were sour, this sour smell of love......

"Roots, do we say clay is good? Is it good to say that you make money? Gu Qing tried to change the subject. Chatting about areas he is not good at, there is a feeling of losing the right to speak.

However, Gu Qing was destined to lose the right to speak in this chat, Song Gensheng was immersed in this sour love and couldn't extricate himself, and said to himself: "Xiu'er's family is very pitiful, Uncle Yang is a widow, in the early years, her man joined the army, Jiannandao fought with Tubo, her man died in battle, leaving orphans and widows struggling to make a living, the Ding brothers coerced and lured many times, persuaded Uncle Yang to sell Xiu'er to a big family as a concubine, Uncle Yang refused to obey, and was bullied by the Ding brothers a lot, and even the land planted by the mother and daughter was often pulled out by the Ding brothers. Several times I have seen her family living on wild vegetables......"

Gu Qing listened quietly.

Listening to other people's tragic stories, is there compassion in the heart? Perhaps. But who doesn't have a wound in his heart that he doesn't be treated well? The wound is healed, and the scar will always be there.

Gu Qing's kindness and compassion are too hidden, he has not had too many good experiences in two lives, and his kindness and compassion don't want to be too cheap.

"Xiu'er is a very kind girl, I ...... It's kind too. Song Gensheng smiled embarrassedly: "Seeing that their mother and daughter are having a hard time, I often secretly send some rice to her family, and then slowly she knows that I sent it, so there are often a handful of freshly picked wild vegetables and two freshly caught river fish in front of my house. ”

Song Gensheng suddenly looked up at Gu Qing and said heavily: "I want to marry her." ”

Gu Qing smiled: "Is the girl willing to marry you?" ”

Song Gen hung his head in frustration and sighed: "I don't know, I haven't spoken much to her except for sending things to each other, she seems to be deliberately avoiding me." ”

Gu Qing rubbed his forehead, a little headache.

It's so weird, wasn't you talking about making money just now? Why is the crooked building crooked to the topic of marrying a mother-in-law?

It's an unattractive topic.

"Or ...... Do you want to put aside your children's personal feelings for a while? Let's talk about making money, making money is the most important thing in life, what's the point of marrying a mother-in-law? Is it happier than making money? Oh, it doesn't exist. ”
