I've heard about movable type printing so early on. Now, although it seems that the price is being lowered and sold cheaply, in fact, it is to get rid of the books as soon as possible to make more money.

Li Xie just sighed, this is a smart person, and then he didn't pay attention to these anymore. To be honest, although he has been free most of the time in the past few days, Li Xie doesn't pay much attention to the matter of the dock.

Wei Yi and Su Ci both had a fateful relationship with Li Xie, and he was completely trustworthy of these two people. So when things were on the right track, he really didn't bother with this matter, and he didn't come to this pier.

In the past few months, Li Xie has only been listening to Su Ci talk about how good and prosperous this wharf is, and now that he has come to the wharf, Li Xie has really seen how prosperous this wharf established by himself is for the first time.

In the past, there were no people when they went out of the West City Gate to gather, but now there are people walking one after another. It's even more amazing to come to this pier, it's really crowded!

Dozens of acres of places where goods are placed, plus the surrounding bare land that has not been reclaimed and has been mined, is counted as hundreds of acres. Even so, this hundreds of acres of land can be regarded as crowded.

Many of them work here, but there are also many people who come here to buy goods, and there is an endless stream of discussions. Since there are no buildings around, this bare area looks like thousands of heads are really shocking.

Although Li Xie didn't care much about the dock since it was established, he didn't even come once. But after all, the basic personnel here are those refugees, and all of these refugees still know Li Xie.

The refugees who were able to stay were more or less grateful to Li Xie, after all, if there was no Li Xie, they might have gone back to farming. With such a year and heavy taxes, I'm afraid they're going to start starving now.

So as soon as Li Xie appeared, there were still many people who took the initiative to greet him, and the adults kept shouting.

Li Xie just nodded politely and didn't talk to them, when he looked around the small open space. Li Xie casually asked a person here:

"Is Sun Yunkun here now?"

The management of the personnel on the dock is actually in charge of Sun Yunkun, Sun Yunkun is bent on scientific research and does not want to participate in these business and trade matters, but these are refugees, and Sun Yunkun is very familiar with him, and Li Xie has no trustworthy people in his hands at that time.

So for the time being, he will be in charge first, and this one will be in charge until now. However, Sun Yunkun had already told Li Xie that as soon as the scientific expedition began, he would definitely leave. Li Xie would not drag Sun Yunkun back, so he promised him to let him take care of it first, and when the scientific examination began, he Li Xie personally sent him to the exam. Sun Yunkun reluctantly agreed, temporarily helping Li Xie to manage this group of people first.

"Steward Sun is not here, the firing workshop seems to say that there is something going on over there today."

Li Xie thanked him, and after making this person honestly frightened, he turned around and walked towards the firing workshop.

After walking back for a while, I walked around a mountain col and saw more than a dozen pottery kilns. Looking at this piece of pottery kiln, Li Xie felt that if someone told him that the productivity was low in ancient times, he would definitely slap him to death.

It has only been a few days since the construction of this pottery kiln began, and more than a dozen pottery kilns have been built. Looking at this huge bun, Li Xie felt very satisfied.

There are no guardrails outside and no special guards are there, and among the more than 10 pottery kilns, there is a pottery kiln surrounded by more than 20 people. Don't even ask, Sun Yunkun must be there.

Li Xie took a closer look, and then he saw that this pottery kiln should have been opened a long time ago, and now the temperature has almost dissipated, and a large group of people gathered around this opening, looking at something expectantly.

Li Xie didn't bother them, just straightened his neck in the outermost part and looked inside. At this time, another person tested the temperature, and after making sure that he could go in, he asked Sun Yunkun next to him:

"Steward Sun can go in, you see if you should go in now or wait for Steward Su to come."

"Let's wait a little longer, I made an appointment in the morning, and I guess I'm already on my way." Sun Yunkun looked at the sun, it was only ten years on the side of the sun, and the time was still early, so he was not too anxious, he could wait a little longer.

"Don't wait, just go inside. Brother Su was drunk by me at noon and couldn't come. Li Xie was also curious about what they burned, and they would be so solemn. So when I heard that they had to wait for Su Ci to come, they immediately spoke.

Sun Yunkun looked back and knew that it was Li Xie, and immediately called an adult. Then the crowd immediately dispersed a road, allowing Li Xie to come to the front. Because these personnel are all technicians invited from other places, they have never seen Li Xie, but most of the people who can be called adults are officials, so they can't be disrespectful, so they immediately gave way to a way.

"Why are you here?"

Li Xie: "I drank with Brother Su at noon, I got him drunk, and I heard him say that there was something to do in the afternoon, so come and see what is going on?" ”

"Your adult is here just in time, so why don't you invite your adult in." Su Ci nodded, wanting Li Xie to be the first to go in and get off to a good start.

"I don't understand this, so let someone who do. I'm just looking outside here, what the hell is burning so grandly. "Li Xie himself doesn't understand how these things can come out? But he was very curious, what was in it?

"The last time I fired pottery, there were two pieces that were unusually red. They said it might be a problem with the soil here, and then they dug up the soil and burned a whole stove from there. I just want to see if I can successfully burn red. ”

Sun Yunkun watched a master enter with apprehension, and explained to Li Xie as he spoke.

"Red?" Li Xie asked in surprise with a frown. Although he doesn't know much about pottery, shouldn't this kind of thing be colorful?

"Yes, it's red. Most of the pottery on the market today is white, and although there are red ones, they are all fired by chance, which is very rare. And we have just opened the furnace here and there are three, which is why we have this ...... What do you think? ”

Sun Yunkun looked at the master who came out, and he couldn't even bother to talk to Li Xie, and asked nervously.

"There are red ones, but there are only four of them, which are related to the clay here, but they are unstable." The master was also a little frustrated, if he could burn one red one in the past, he would have jumped up happily, but now he burned four still disappointed.

It is also because of the great expectation that from the craniotomy to the present, everyone hopes that this furnace can be burned red. But now there are only four of them, how can they not be disappointed?

After this comfort came out, everyone looked at each other, all frowning, very depressed. Li Xie couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw that everyone had this expression.

"I'll go in and take a look." Saying that, Li Xie walked in, it was very dark inside, if it wasn't for this opening, if there was light coming in, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see anything at all.

But even though it was so dark, Li Xie could still see at a glance the four red pottery that were a few of the many whites. However, this red pottery seemed to be a little different from the red he had in his impression, this red was very dull and rough, and it was not crystal clear at all.

And the distribution of colors is not so uniform, on the same porcelain, there are heavy red and very light parts.

"Not bad!" After Li Xie came out, he looked at the crowd and praised him, seeing that everyone was still not excited. Li Xie clapped his hands and drew everyone's attention to himself.

"Alright, don't be frustrated. Not this time, but next time. If you keep working hard, you will always succeed, add a little more iron next time, and try a few more times for sure. ”
