Li Xie didn't know where they had already studied, and he hadn't studied this thing either, but he knew that if this naughty thing was to be burned red, all it needed was iron oxide, which was rusty iron. Seeing the frustration of the crowd, Li Xie was afraid that their enthusiasm would be hit, so he comforted them.

"Yes, this time it won't work, and there will be a next time, take your time...... My lord, are you saying that if you add iron, you can burn it red? Sun Yunkun is not too sensitive to things like money, so he naturally doesn't care too much about whether he can burn red pottery.

Seeing that everyone was depressed, Sun Yunkun, the person in charge, still followed Li Xie's symbolic comfort. But in the middle of his words, he suddenly came back to his senses, and what Li Xie just said was not just words of comfort.

Li Xie: "That's right! ”

Sun Yunkun: "Didn't the adults say that you don't know this thing?" ”

Li Xie: "I won't burn this kind of thing!" But I know that if you add iron, it will turn red! ”

Sun Yunkun looked at Li Xie speechlessly, just as he was about to speak again. The craftsmen next to them were boiling, but the person who had just entered the furnace stepped forward and asked emotionally:

"What the adults said, but is it true that as long as you add it, it will turn red?"

"Yes, iron is added to the clay, and when it is fired, the pottery is red." Li Xie didn't know the specific details, and he hadn't operated this kind of thing, so he said it very generally.

"So how do you add it to the furnace when you fire it, or to polish it into powder or clay when you are outside? Or you can use iron as a mold and put it directly into it to burn. "Li Xie doesn't understand these things, but a large group of people outside here are experts in this area.

Su Ci also worked hard for this workshop, and these people were all dug up from other places at a high price through Shangjia. Each of them was a well-known master in their original place, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they were experts in this area of this era.

"I don't know, I've seen it all from books, why don't you try it all?" Li Xie really doesn't know, that is, it will be red when burned after adding iron, and he learned it by accident when he was watching TV.

He knew the principle of this, and even he knew exactly what metal to add and what color the pottery would become, but he really didn't know how to operate it.

And not only did he not know the firing process, but he also did not know how much to add to the most appropriate amount. But it doesn't matter if you don't know, as a science student, you can study it if you don't know, and it's still easy to experiment with this kind of thing.

"How's that for good? Why can't you read the book carefully, my lord...... Woo! Everyone was in a hurry, and some even shouted rebuke.

But before the man could say anything, he was covered by the more clever person next to him. In their impression, those who can be called adults are all officials, and you, a flat-headed commoner, actually blame an official, and don't want to live!

Seeing them like this, Li Xie didn't care very much, after all, he understood the feeling that as a technician, the technology was in front of him but he couldn't touch it. Sun Yunkun immediately lowered his face:

"Bastard thing, is there any humility?"

Sun Yunkun is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and he can't be said to be rigid for humanity, but the poison of this world's dignity and order has already entered his soul.

He didn't care much about it himself, and would fight with these people, laughing and scolding. After all, although he is now a showman, he has a reputation and is qualified to take the official examination. But after all, he has not yet become an official, and his status is higher than these people, but it is not much higher.

But Li Xie is different, Li Xie is now the commander of the Xicheng Prefecture, and he is really a seven-rank official. In Sun Yunkun, no, it should be said that in the minds of people in this world, officials are not the objects that ordinary people can talk about.

As soon as Sun Yunkun scolded, among the more than 20 craftsmen standing in front, the timid ones were relatively small, and several of them even turned white with fright. One trembled vigorously.

"Brother Sun, don't look like this, just relax if you have nothing to do. I really don't know, I just know from the book that you can add different metals to make different colors. As for the specific operation, I don't know. ”

"What is metal, my lord?" The person who took the lead was calmer and could still communicate normally. But at the same time, he is also the most excited, now there is only one color for pottery firing, that is, white, or many colors mixed together.

All along, including the master who taught him, only knew that it had to do with the soil in various places. But what exactly affects the color of the pottery is still unknown. Now I feel that the adult in front of me seems to know, so although he is the most calm, he is probably the most excited among them.

"It's a different kind of iron, like copper, gold, and the iron that makes axes with us." Li Xie explained casually.

"It's easy to understand, but if you want to release them one by one and add different weights, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time and cost. Can you help me ask Su if he is willing to pay this money? ”

The cost of firing and opening the furnace every time is very large, and it is definitely not something that a person like him who receives a daily salary can afford, so if he is allowed to study it himself, he will not be able to study it.

"No need to ask, I can promise you. You can even teach you a way to get out faster if you need to. "If you can really stably fire a glaze that is not available in this era, it will definitely be a lucrative business, so Li Xie agreed very happily.

"Really?" This person is also very smart, and after getting Li Xie's consent, he asked again, obviously, this time it was Sun Yunkun who asked.

"Adults naturally speak with all their words." Sun Yunkun glanced at this person, obviously still blaming them for their humble and disorderly appearance just now. It's just that Li Xie doesn't pursue it, so he naturally can't pursue it too much.

"Now that it's decided, do you want to listen to my method?" watched the whole time, but he didn't blame this person for his distrust of himself.

"Please give me advice."

"We can do this by firing pottery of the same size, adding different amounts of iron powder, and making markers. Then different stoves are added in different ways, and cousins are also made, so that after the firing is taken out and compared, it is estimated that the most suitable method and the most suitable amount can be tried soon. ”

Li Xie directly said the experimental method, this thing is very simple, just a simple comparative statistics. But for these people, it is still a method that they have never been exposed to.

"How simple is it?"

"Yes, it's that simple, okay, the solution has been told to you, and you can do the rest. Brother Sun, I'll leave first, and I'll leave it to you here. By the way, Brother Su doesn't know if he will come tomorrow, so he has been working hard for Brother Sun for two days. ”

After Li Xie finished explaining the method, he left with his hands behind his back. After a delay just now, it will be more than four o'clock to see the sun, and if I delay it a little longer, I am afraid it will be night again.

Lu Xiaomei's situation is only getting better now, Li Xie doesn't dare to be negligent, and every day he can go back early.

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll take care of the rest." Sun Yunkun's expression was very serious.

Li Xie glanced at Sun Yunkun strangely, not understanding why he looked so solemn. But I didn't think much of it, just nodded.

And after Li Xie took a few steps, this group of workers came back to their senses, and they all said very respectfully: "Congratulations to my lord." ”

To be honest, they are all a group of rough people, how awkward it is to listen to this when they shout it, and Li Xie is uncomfortable to listen to.

Li Xie went home slowly, what he didn't know was that after he left. Sun Yunkun looked at these people with a very serious expression:

"What your lordship told you is a secret that you don't know, and I think you should know how to do it yourself."

"Shopkeeper Sun, don't worry, tomorrow we will go to apply for a contract of sale."
