Not long after Zhu Shun returned to the Metallurgical Institute, the refractory factory near Luoyang quickly fired refractory bricks and transported them to the porcelain kilns in the capital through the river.

After years of development, Xing'anbo and his porcelain association have monopolized the porcelain business in the entire northern part of Beizhili, and the porcelain factory suppressing the porcelain workshops in the hands of the bureaucratic squires will only have one ending.

Destroying.

Xing'an Bo is in charge of such a large porcelain business, and there are many Jiangnan porcelain merchants who have taken the initiative to contact him over the years, so it will be much easier to do it next.

If Zhu Shun wants to pit the big treasurer of the capital who holds a grain road to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the best way to use is to make these bauxite from worthless to valuable.

Under the command of Zhu Shun, Xing'anbo held an elegant conference in the porcelain factory.

This Yaguan Conference is not a celebrity calligraphy and painting, nor is it a female champion female jinshi of the flower case.

Just look at one thing.

Brick.

At the invitation of Xing'anbo, many big porcelain merchants from Jiangnan came to the porcelain factory, next to a molten iron furnace in the porcelain factory.

In front of the iron melting furnace.

The porcelain merchants in the south of the Yangtze River were surprised by Xing'anbo's behavior, and generally went to the teahouse or restaurant to talk about things, and the more elegant ones went to check the building.

Xing'an Boke came to the good place, saying that there was something important to discuss, but he invited them to the porcelain workshop.

Forget about inviting you to the porcelain workshop, this time the excuse is still some kind of elegant meeting, to see an iron melting furnace that only exists in a blacksmith shop.

This is still the strangest point, there is an iron block on top of the molten iron furnace, and two green bricks.

The Jiangnan porcelain merchants who came this time all had a few lucky ships in their hands, and their business was done in Nanyang.

Actually let these big porcelain merchants look at the two bricks, if it weren't for the noble status of Xing'anbo, these big porcelain merchants would have brushed their sleeves away.

Xing Anbo didn't care about the thoughts of these Jiangnan porcelain merchants, as a nobleman of the current dynasty, he didn't need to care about the thoughts of these Jiangnan porcelain merchants.

On the other hand, it won't be long before the blue brick on the right will look better than those female jinshi and even better than the female champions in the eyes of these Jiangnan porcelain merchants.

Inside the porcelain factory.

An iron melting furnace was built.

The flames in the furnace burned violently, and the iron slowly burned red.

The thick pieces of iron were all burned red, and the blue bricks on the left showed what the porcelain merchants expected, and they were directly burned and cracked.

The Jiangnan porcelain merchants frowned and were about to leave, when an unbelievable scene happened, the green bricks on the left side were directly broken, and the green bricks on the right were still intact.

When the Jiangnan porcelain merchants saw this, a thought appeared in their minds, could it be that this kind of brick could withstand the burning of the raised flame.

Thousands of years have passed since the appearance of the first brick, and it has never been said that any brick can be more resistant to burning than iron.

This is a kind of common sense formed over thousands of years, and it is also a golden rule in the minds of these porcelain merchants who have lived for most of their lives, a stubborn concept that cannot be changed.

The temperature at which the porcelain is fired is extremely high, which also causes the bricks to be replaced after a while, otherwise the kiln will have problems.

After all, with the firing of porcelain, the bricks in the porcelain kiln will break and need to be replaced in time.

The porcelain merchants have all been in contact with the porcelain business since they were young, and the porcelain family business in their hands has been handed down from their ancestors, and they have known how to burn porcelain since they can remember.

The porcelain merchants invited by Xing Anbo were all over 50 years old.

They had lived almost a lifetime, and they had never seen a brick that was more resistant to burning than iron.

Jiangnan porcelain merchants have only one thought in their hearts, even if they see it with their own eyes, they still don't want to believe it.

For the porcelain merchants, this incident was like seeing the sun rise in the west, which was simply nonsense.

The Jiangnan porcelain merchants who were talking about it just now were all silent, and their eyes looked directly at the blue brick on the right.

Xing Anbo smiled, did not speak, and left the place with the factory owners of the Porcelain Guild.

A day has passed.

Xing Anbo returned to the porcelain factory to dismantle the melting furnace, but what he didn't expect was that the pile of Jiangnan porcelain merchants in front of the melting furnace hadn't left yet.

He stood in front of the furnace for a day and a night.

The Jiangnan porcelain merchants didn't sleep for a day and a night, and when Xing'anbo came over, their eyes were all bloodshot when they looked at Xing'anbo.

As soon as Xing'anbo stepped into this porcelain factory, all the Jiangnan porcelain merchants rushed over and surrounded Xing'anbo.

If it weren't for Xing'anbo knowing that these porcelain merchants had no malicious intentions, the flintlock pistols in the porcelain factory would almost give these Jiangnan porcelain merchants a hammer.

Xing Anbo understands their behavior, after all, refractory bricks are too important for porcelain kilns

Not only does it save a lot of costs, but more importantly, it doesn't need to build porcelain kilns frequently, so that you can save time to fire more porcelain.

The industrial faction now sells the price of these refractory bricks to the price of gold bricks like Linqing Gong bricks, fifty taels of silver each.

These porcelain merchants from Jiangnan will also buy them immediately, or even snatch these refractory bricks back to Jiangnan in a way of grabbing.

After a cup of tea.

Just in the expectation of the Jiangnan porcelain merchants, Xing Anbo spoke: "This kind of brick is called refractory brick, which is a kind of burn-resistant brick newly invented by the industrial school. ”

"In terms of price, it is only one percent higher than ordinary bricks, and if you want to, you can go to the refractory brick factory in Luoyang."

When the porcelain merchants near Xing'anbo heard that they could buy this kind of refractory brick in Luoyang, they all ran out as fast as they could.

In a few breaths, a large number of Jiangnan porcelain merchants' porcelain factories were crowded, and there were few people in an instant.

Xing Anbo looked at these Jiangnan porcelain merchants who left in a hurry, and he was happy in his heart, the Jin merchants were about to start to be unlucky again.

A few days later.

News spread inside and outside the capital that the industrialists had once again invented a novelty, a refractory brick that could withstand fire.

How big this kind of interest is, the Donglin Party and the Jin Shang understand it too well, and they can't care about how to target the industry, so they hurriedly send people to check the news.

The Donglin Party and the Jin merchants dared to be presumptuous in the capital, and when they went to the territory of King Fu in Luoyang, they were all honest and didn't even dare to let go of a fart.

The knife in the hand of King Fu's son, but he didn't know the Donglin Party and the Jin merchants.

Under the investigation of the Donglin Party and the Jin merchants, it was soon discovered that the soil used by the industrial faction was different from the soil of ordinary bricks.

It was the kind of brittle stone that was worthless in the past, the kind of brittle stone that could not be used to carve ornaments or build mansions.
