Chapter 22: Bold
With a knowledge and vision far ahead of the times, going back to the past to point out the country and scold Fang Xuan, this kind of thing that is extremely enjoyable just thinking about it is what many people dream of.
But Wei Ming really didn't want to.
Because in his opinion, nothing can compare to the comfort of being able to eat peacefully and wait for death in peacetime.
It is also for this reason that although he is powerless to resist the crossing, he has always refused in his heart.
But recently, Wei Ming found that he was actually starting to like this era a little!
This is not only because he is now in this arena and is simply a living earth emperor, but also because this era maintains a great degree of respect for some exclusive secret techniques.
For example, for craftsmen, although the secret skills of the nominal craftsman can be kept secret from their peers, they cannot be kept secret from the imperial court......
However, as long as the craftsman uses this craft to serve the imperial court, then even the imperial court will not force his necessary craft to be made public, but will only require him to choose a disciple at the right time to ensure that the craft will not be lost.
It is precisely for this reason that Wei Ming has a studio of his own in the porcelain work in the field, and without his permission, even the young craftsman Zeng Fanzhi Cheng Wu Dong and so on will not enter without permission.
This kind of respect gave Wei Ming a lot of space.
Because of the permission of the Wang family, Guo Xi has often gone to the porcelain to find Wei Ming recently, so he also has the opportunity to see details that many people can't see......
For example, he watched Wei Ming cut the gold into several pieces, and then took a very small part of it and hammered it into gold leaf, rolled it into gold powder, added some things and then warmed, milled and stirred, and so on......
"This is the principal!"
A few days later, Wei Ming took a small dish of powder and explained to Guo Xi while applying it to the porcelain embryo that had been sent in.
Guo Xi was naturally not very interested in these, so he just looked at the gold nugget that was divided into several pieces and said, "Why do you want to cut a piece of gold into several pieces?" β
"The largest piece is sure to be returned to the Couss!"
Wei Ming replied without raising his head: "The remaining small piece is a reasonable loss!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Guo Xi's eyelids jumped and said, "What about the second largest piece?" β
"That's the payable part or not!"
Wei Ming said: "Deliver, that's conscience, duty, if you don't pay, it doesn't matter - after all, even if the gods come, they can't be sure whether this part of the gold is used in porcelain, or where it goes......"
"If you don't pay it, wouldn't it be ten taels of gold, and you can wait enough to swallow four taels of ink and halves! The part used on porcelain is less than five dollars? β
Guo Xi said in horror: "If you do this, aren't you afraid of being thundered by the sky?" β
"First of all, I just said that, as for whether I will do this, it depends on what Zeng Shaojiang Wu Jiangcheng and them mean!"
Wei Ming glanced at Guo Xi speechlessly and sighed: "And I need you to understand one thing, that is, not everyone can be born in such a prominent family as you, you can have sixty acres of land at a young age, and you never have to worry about your livelihood, so compared to the thunder and thunder in the sky, many people are actually more afraid of poverty, afraid of not being able to feed a family - take some saints and have no other use for practical purposes except to look at them, why not?" β
"No matter how reasonable you say, you can't hide the fact that you are corrupt and pervert the law!"
Guo Xi snorted angrily: "Don't forget what my aunt asked me to tell you - in this world, you are not the only smart person!" β
Wei Ming didn't answer, just looked at Guo Xi and smiled: "Eat chicken at noon, why don't you go together?" β
If he heard such invitations in the past, Guo Xi couldn't wait to smile.
But today, Guo Xi is abnormal, and after snorting, he disdains to be with you, and then walks away......
"Guo Jia Saburo today, why did he leave so early?"
Zeng Fanzhi and the others who came in didn't see Guo Xi, and asked with some surprise.
"Brother Gongzi who has not been beaten by society, just this virtue, don't pay attention to him!"
Wei Ming smiled and said, "I don't know if you are waiting for the supervisor of the Young Craftsman Craftsman to come over today, but do you have any advice?" β
"There's really something I want to discuss with you!"
Zeng Fanzhi and Wu Dong asked Xu Jin to close the door, and then whispered the concerns of himself and others, and then said: "Li Xiang's side doesn't have to think about it, we are hesitating now whether the prince or Yang envoy!" β
"Of course the prince!"
"Xiaolang, don't forget, don't say that the prince has not been quite sacred, just say that the prince and the Yang imperial officials have always been at odds, and it is rumored that the saint intends to let the Yang imperial officials take over after Li Xiang...... Once we stand in the wrong position, it is really a wrong step, a wrong step! β
"But the prince is still the prince after all!"
Although Zeng Fanzhi and the others were worried, Wei Ming was still categorical.
After all, he knew very well that although Li Heng had been walking on thin ice all these years, he would still inherit the unification in the end, and it would definitely be right to be on his side.
As for the next few years, Yang Guozhong took over the phase, Li Heng's life was not easy, and the people who stood on his side were afraid that they would be more or less unlucky......
Wei Ming didn't care.
After all, even if he entered, he could only start from the lowest-level official.
Even if Yang Guozhong wants to target the standing position, it will not be his turn to go out and be shot in line.
Therefore, after putting forward his opinion, Wei Ming didn't worry about it at all, but put the gold bars and some porcelain in front of several people, and said what he had said to Guo Xi before......
Of course, the part of reasonable wear and tear is long gone.
"You're too daring!"
Hearing that just making dozens of pieces of imperial porcelain was enough to make three taels of gold die without proof, Zeng Fanzhi and the others were speechless at the same time, but they all showed a dry and beautiful look, and then looked at those porcelain embryos and said: "Thirty-six pieces of imperial porcelain, why did you make as many as one hundred and eight pieces?" β
"Always be prepared, just in case!"
Wei Ming drew out seventy-two of them.
"And what about the rest?" The trio asked.
"Throughout the ages, the antiquities of the previous dynasties are very precious, and the antiquities of the royal dynasty of the previous dynasties are even more precious - not to mention such high-quality products that opened official kilns!"
Wei Ming said with a smile: "I just thought that if there are one or two such antiquities in the family, then even if the family falls into the middle of the road one day, it will be able to ensure that the children and grandchildren will have no worries about food and clothing for several lifetimes......"
Listening to Wei Ming's words, looking at those porcelain embryos, and those few pieces of gold, Zeng Fanzhi, Wu Dong, and Xu Jin all blushed, and it took a long time before they said: "I used to think that I was waiting for pottery, but it was the most bitter yamen in the court, and it was difficult to have oil and water to fishβnow I know that it is not that the yamen is too bitter, but that no one among us has the courage of you......"
"That's what the kid just said!"
Wei Ming stupidly lifted the small hammer and said: "Since several Shangguan said so, then let's just smash all the more!" β
Several people hurriedly pushed Wei Ming away, protecting those porcelain embryos like calves and said: "If you want to smash it, you won't smash it now-I'll talk about it later, I'll talk about it later!" β
After saying that, a group of people couldn't help but laugh out loud!
