Yingluo and Zhuzhu are still at a loss, what are you laughing at?

In the laughter, Zong Shu walked up to the podium, patted the ring ruler, and talked about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Everyone immediately fell silent and listened to the story.

After finishing speaking, under everyone's urging, Zong Shu added another update.

After speaking, Zong Shu found that behind Yingluo, there was a little eunuch who was recording.

Yingluo was criticizing the little eunuch for writing down too little. It turned out that Yingluo was looking for a story to record the story, and it seems that Yingluo really wants to publish it.

Zong Shu walked over, looked at the little calligraphy brush held by the little eunuch and said, "This one can't be done, I definitely can't do shorthand." In the future, the development is getting faster and faster, how can the brush keep up? ”

Seeing that everyone didn't understand, Zong Shu said: "It would be nice if there were pens, ballpoint pens, and pencils." ”

Thinking of this, Zong Shu thought of a pencil, which can be made in this era. When there are enough miners, you can open a graphite mine.

Graphite can be used as a lead for pencils, and as for the wood for the bread, this is much easier.

Graphite and coal are often associated and are found in Mi County.

Yingluo was anxious to go back to the palace to try MSG, but Zong Shu stopped her and asked her to help rescue Zong Shen's father and eldest brother.

Yingluo said yes. It is said that it was not possible in the past, but now it is enough to find a relationship and make the money.

People are like this, when they have nothing to do, they always hate all the darkness of the government, and everything has to be opened with money.

When I have something to do, I hope that the government can be more flexible.

Zong Shu is like this now, as long as it is a problem that silver can solve, it will not be a problem.

Zong Shu went to see Zong's porcelain workshop today. Zong Shen and Lin Lingsu walked one after the other. There is quite a feeling of Yue Fei's "Zhang Bao before the horse and Wang Heng after the horse".

The porcelain workshop of the Zong family is outside the city. Zong Shu saw the urban pattern at this time for the first time today.

There are two inner and outer cities in Bianliang City, seven miles in the inner city and thirteen miles in the outer city.

There are fourteen gates around the city, and there are two or three layers of city circles at the entrance to the city, which are mainly used to besiege the enemy army that attacks the city.

There is a pheasant moat built on the city wall, which is equivalent to a modern small artillery tower, and its main role is mainly to fire cannons or large bows and crossbows.

The walls were not as tall and sturdy as he had imagined. Coupled with the fact that this place is plain and there are no mountains, it can be said that there is no danger to defend.

Once the Yellow River in the north breaks through, these walls can be defended.

Zong Shu, who rode out of the city on a donkey, looked back and said to himself: "It's strange that this broken wall can block the golden soldiers!" Alas, it's about my birds. ”

As the cavalry of the Jin State that rushed out of the white water of Black Mountain, attacking the city was their weakness.

But Kaifeng City, they took it. I don't know what Song Taizu thought at that time, and set the capital in this place.

Zhao Kuangyin would never have thought that his descendants would be so poor.

In Zong Shu's view, the setting of the inner and outer cities is good, but there are many things that need to be improved.

For example, there are many brick walls, few stone walls, and even some earth walls. No matter how hard the brick is, it can't be hard as the stone, and as soon as the golden man's stone thrower comes, the brick wall can't withstand a few rounds.

The city circle can certainly besiege and shoot enemies who rush in, but there are obviously many blind spots.

Obviously, when this wall was built, it was not as strong as the enemy was thought to be.

For example, did the Great Song Dynasty lack stones, there was no shortage, and the imperial court collected strange stones from all over the world to build royal courtyards. If good stones are brought from all over the city to fortify the walls, the defense can rise several levels.

After all, it's corruption.

The porcelain factory and the fireworks factory of the Zong family are next to each other, both by the Bianhe River in the outer city, covering a large area.

There are quite a few kilns in the porcelain factory, but they are in a state of semi-shutdown, and there are not many people, one by one around the opening of several cellars to keep warm.

Zong Shu looked at the porcelain factory first, and the small motorcycle ran in to report. The manager of the porcelain factory was called Lao Feng, and he ran over without a distraction.

Zong Shu looked at the finished product, it turned out that this was the Great Song Dynasty white porcelain, compared with the Jun porcelain that prevailed in the Tang Dynasty, this kind of porcelain is simple but not simple.

Of course, Zong Shu's half-appreciation level, touch this and that, that is, pretend.

Lao Feng let Zong Shu and the three of them into a tea room and skillfully made tea for everyone.

In these days, the tea business is the best. But Zong Shu didn't plan to get involved. Because of this kind of business, he has already been controlled by powerful ministers, and he can't wade into this troubled water.

Lao Feng diligently poured tea while observing the young master.

Since this young master was kicked by a donkey, his repeated performances can be described as a blockbuster, which suddenly subverted everyone's impression of him.

Especially through the competition, the young master connected the two gambling houses and bankrupted them, making the Zong family the richest family in the capital, which surprised everyone.

"Lao Feng, I have a job here, I don't know if you can do it." Zong Shu asked.

"Young master, what kind of work it is, as long as it's porcelain work, I can do it." Lao Feng stood up and replied.

"The porcelain I want you to burn is not a bottle or jar. Look. Zong Shu said as he took out a few pieces of paper.

Lao Feng respectfully took it, looked at it for a while and said, "Young Master, this is a pipe, right?" ”

Zong Shu nodded, it's not that Lao Feng is at a high level, but that he can draw clearly.

If the tip of the pen is not soft and collapsed, it will be better to draw with a ballpoint pen.

"Young master, the little old man is stupid, and he doesn't understand a little." Lao Feng twisted his eyebrows and looked at the picture and said.

"What don't you understand?" Zong Shu asked.

"When we fire porcelain, we paint the glaze on the outside, and most of it is double-sided glaze. There are also some bottles with small mouths, mainly used for flower arrangement, these are glazed on the outside and not glazed on the inside. This kind of porcelain painted by the young master is glazed on the inside, but not glazed on the outside, which is very strange. Lao Feng said.

"Are there any technical problems?" Zong Shu is most concerned about technology.

"No problem." Lao Feng is very confident.

"I want a water pipe, which is mainly water-through, and it has to be smooth and hard. It doesn't matter what is out there, and it's not for people to admire. The outside is not glazed, which is due to cost considerations. ”

Only then did Lao Feng understand Zong Shu's intentions, but what was this water pipe for? He didn't ask either.

Lao Feng looked at the picture carefully and found a lot of different things. After Zong Shu's explanation, it was found that this kind of pipe is not straight, but also has various bends, and the curvature of the bend is not different.

Some tubes are too long and need to be connected in two. The connection of each tube must also be larger to facilitate the connection to the other.

What's even better is that the young master solved the problem of sealing the joints: mash and boil them with bee wax, cotton, glutinous rice, and lard.

However, the ingredient ratio and boiling time are not specified.

"Actually, your biggest workload, I'm afraid it's making sealant, which requires you to research, which is the key to the key." Zong Shu said.

Of course, now neither the oil fields nor graphite are being mined. If you have oil or graphite, making a sealant is simple.

Lao Feng thought to himself that the ingredients are all there, can the others be trial-made?

Zong Shu pulled Lao Feng aside and took out another piece of paper, and the two of them made very small sounds.

"Let's go, let's go to the fireworks factory." Zong Shu said.

"The young master is talented, the old and the young admire!" Lao Feng bent down and sent Zong Shu to the door.

"Young Master, what did you just do?" The little motorcycle didn't know what Zong Shu was going to do, and Lin Lingsu was also confused.

"You'll know when it's done."

Having done a big thing, Zong Shu was extremely happy, pulled the reins, and looked up to the sky and laughed.

But the horse was not at all cooperative, and the mount should have raised its front legs and neighed for a long time. Oh, it turned out to be a donkey.

The wind has not yet succeeded, and the young master still needs to work hard. Strive to ride a BMW, wear a cape, and hug a beautiful woman next time, so what's the shock?

The three of them went to the fireworks factory again, and Zong Shu mysteriously handed over a few pieces of paper to the steward. I could see the little motorcycle and Lin Lingsu in the clouds.
