Chapter 72 Technology Transfer
In the canteen attached to Huashan Maternal and Child Health Hospital, a group of officials from the imperial court praised the utensils and food on the table like turtles.
Fang Qiao said with emotion: "I thought that the imperial food in the palace was already the best in the world, but now that I see this Huashan cuisine, I know that there is indeed a ...... outside the sky."
Huangfu Tianyi is more curious about those white porcelain, trays, plates, rice bowls, kettles, including washbasins for washing hands, and tea jars for drinking water, all of which are white porcelain of a unified system, but they are completely different from the porcelain commonly used to touch, like iron but not iron, like porcelain and not porcelain.
Sun Simiao has an overwhelming advantage over these court bigwigs in terms of age, seniority, and popularity, and no one dares to take it in front of him. Now that he has the blessing of the immortal name, these bigwigs are worried that they will be rejected by him. One by one, they rushed to perform the disciple ceremony, but if Sun Immortal did not explicitly oppose it, he would immediately be able to raise himself to force his qualifications.
Of course, Huangfu Tianyi is not exempt from vulgarity: "The disciple is here, in addition to several new agricultural tools that His Majesty told me to verify with my own eyes, there is also Huashan porcelain that has recently set off a fashion in Chang'an City. Unexpectedly, in addition to that kind of porcelain, there is such a light category. In the humble opinion of the disciples, this kind of iron porcelain has a uniform shape, is convenient and light, and should be able to be made in batches......"
Li Kuan was also quite surprised, these guys can really toss, it's only been a few months, not only have they made boilers, but even enamel can be made in batches. Not to mention that these court bigwigs were shocked, even Li Kuan himself didn't expect it.
Moreover, in order to expand the impact of these guys, they also deliberately made a meal imitating the fine dishes of later generations to tempt the court envoys, so they must have some plan.
Thinking of this, Li Kuan couldn't help but feel a pain in his eyes. At the beginning, in order to avoid making himself too troublesome, he did a little trick when he entered the inheritance in the Dragon Pool. In addition to burying the spiritual shackles, a few hints were added. Part of it was to tell these guys not to bother themselves if they were fine, but it turned out that no matter what they did, they wouldn't let him know at all.
Huangfu Tianyi's doubts, Lao Sun is not clear. However, the old man is the big boss of Huashan, and when he beckons, there will naturally be a disciple in charge of the project to talk back.
"Disciple Chen Xu, meet the master, and meet all the ministers."
Lao Sun waved his hand: "A few ministers have something to ask you, and you can reply attentively." β
"Disciple Chen Xu is responsible for the research and development of this technology. The scientific name of this porcelain is enamel porcelain, also known as enamel. This porcelain is made of metal as the base material, and the outer layer is coated with porcelain enamel. It has the advantages of metal and porcelain, and perfectly avoids the disadvantages of metal rust and fragile porcelain. High temperature resistance and easy to clean. The production process is simpler and easier to mass-produce. It is also less costly, and it is more suitable for various use environments......"
Huangfu Tianyi is a technical official, and the question is straight to the point: "If it can be mass-produced, what is the cost?" What about the yield? β
"Under the condition that raw materials and workers can be guaranteed, the kiln with a scale of 100 people can produce more than 500 pieces per day. Based on the set of living utensils on the table, the cost of a washbasin is about 30 yuan, bowls and dishes are about 8 to 10 yuan, and a teapot costs 50 yuan...... If the scale of production is tripled, the cost can be reduced by about 20%. β
"Shhh Fang Qiao was excited: "You mean, the cost of such a set is less than 100 wen?" β
"The room is misunderstood, and it is calculated according to the needs of a family. A basin and a teapot are barely enough, but bowls, saucers, teacups, etc., require five to ten. β
"Even if a family of ten dishes is ready, the price will be doubled, and the five hundred wen will be complete! It's ten times cheaper than that fine white porcelain! β
"It's just the cost. If it is sold, it will add labor costs and transportation costs, as well as the profits of the vendors. When it comes to facing the people, the final price may increase several times. We have made calculations privately, and after estimating, the family has a complete set, and it needs to be consistent up and down. β
"That's cheap, now a set of pottery has to be consistent, better ones, and I can't always take it."
Huangfu Tianyi nodded frequently: "If this thing can enter the official camp, the people of the Tang Dynasty will be blessed!" β
Chen Xu wiped a cold sweat: "This ...... The juniors are only responsible for technology research and development, and the rest has to be decided by the master......"
Huangfu Tianyi and Fang Qiao immediately set their eyes on Sun Simiao, and Lao Sun was panicked, so he had to turn his head and call Zhou Daowu.
Zhou Daowu heard the reason, and handed over to the two bigwigs: "Since it is a thing that is beneficial to the people's livelihood, the prime minister can just take it." Huashan doesn't rely on these things to make money......"
"Oh, Sun Zhenren is merciful! Two virtuous nephews and high righteousness! β
Li Kuan sat at the table not far from them, watching Li Tai bury his head in eating, and heard the conversation between the two sides discussing the details of technology transfer in his ears, and he was very emotional.
The technology that doesn't need money, or the bulk of people's livelihood technology, really dare to ask for it! Fang Qiao and Huangfu Tianyi are definitely not naΓ―ve children, and they must also understand that behind this cheapness, there may be traps. But Datang is too poor, so he has no choice but to pretend not to know, and use the heat of brushing his face to get the technology first. As for later? Later, let's talk about it later.
Li Tai didn't finish a pig's knuckle, and the agreement over there had been preliminarily reached. Chen Xu joined Danong Temple as a technocrat and was directly given an official hat on the eighth grade, responsible for enamel technology-related affairs. This can be regarded as officially stepping into officialdom!
A technique for an eight-grade official may already be a great achievement for ordinary craftsmen. But for a disciple from Huashan, it was really nothing. Let's not talk about the family background of these disciples themselves, just the skin of the disciples of the Sun Immortal of the Medicine King Sect, the starting point is not known how many times higher than that of ordinary people.
But this is not important, Li Kuan knows very well in his heart that these guys are deliberately making enamel samples to fish, and the purpose is probably to use this to go to the court. Except for Li Ke's special situation of royal background, Chen Xu is the first Huashanmen person to enter the officialdom with his own ability. With this beginning, it will be easier for Huashan disciples to enter the WTO in the future.
Li Kuan knows better that although Chen Xu joined the company as a technocrat, he must not only be to popularize enamel technology. I'm afraid that using this as a pedal to master the entire Danong Temple is their goal.
In the era of agriculture as the foundation, Danong Temple is indeed the best entry point, and these boys are very calculating. Huayin was doing a political experiment here, and at the same time put his hand into the court. With their means and knowledge, how much power can these Tang Dynasty people parry?
Hehe, with the efforts of these kids, it won't be long before Datang will embark on the highway of development, and then it will naturally expand and expand......
The world is unified, Datang Planet is not a dream!
