Chapter 109: Tao Fu Tao Cave

Thank you for the book friend ifansi, the princess of the purple style, the little rubber man, and the green shirt Zuru for the reward!

……

After hearing this, Zhao Wuxian's forehead sweated slightly, and he hugged Deng Fei and apologized.

He humbly said that he would remember the teachings in the future, and asked him to send two books of punishment to Chengyi, so that he could study them while he was thinking about it.

Deng Fei was very satisfied with Zhao Wuxian's attitude of admitting his mistakes, and felt that this son was still teachable.

So, after the two said goodbye, Zhao Wuxian did not stop at all, went out of the west gate of Xinjiang, and joined Yu Xi and others who escorted those Lu craftsmen and their families, and the group drove towards Chengyi.

When he was resting and drinking water in a hut on the halfway road, in front of the more than a dozen Lu potters, he repeated the three-year period.

"Is what the gentleman said true?" The leader of these craftsmen, the old man named Lu Taoong, said with the corners of his mouth trembling.

"Every sentence is true, but you must also be loyal to me, and swear to Tai Yishen that what you have seen and learned in three years will not be leaked out! If you don't rebel, I don't have to stay! ”

Having said that, Wu Xian knows that this is not safe, and his secrets will only be taught to those who can stay 100%.

And, who knows, three years from now, what his career will look like? Maybe it's not impossible for these people to buy a small town to operate.

The Lu people were a little incredulous about the words of the Zhao gentleman in front of them, because in their hometown of Lu, such a tolerant master was almost extinct. But he was conclusive, and the patriotic merchant sent a message to prove that what the gentleman said was true.

On the next return trip, although Zhao Wuxian instructed Yu Xi and the others to be vigilant and ride horses to monitor on both sides, the potters were quite honest and did not take the opportunity to escape.

This is thanks to the harshness of the Fan craftsman in the morning, and in comparison with the two, it seems that he is extremely tolerant. Some young craftsmen's thoughts of looking for an opportunity to escape also faded.

Anyway, my hometown is also in the midst of war now, and I can't find a good livelihood when I go back, so it's okay to stay in the Jin Kingdom for a few years first.

When he arrived at Tachiup, he looked at the lush wheat fields and the curious pointing of the people on the side of the road, and relaxed a little. It can be seen from the faces of those people that in this place, at least they can eat well, which also shows that the lord is not a tyrannical and harsh person.

Zhao Wuxian asked the township Situ and the three elders of the township to arrange the potter's clothing, food, housing and transportation, and he walked into his own small courtyard behind the township temple.

After the beautiful maid Wei bowed down, she obediently came out to change his clothes and offer him a hot scarf.

After her eyes swept over the desk, her hand couldn't help but grasp the corner of her clothes.

"Gentleman, this is ......"

Zhao Wuxian looked back and saw that it was the saber that was cut off by Fan He with the Wu-style long sword "Hedgehog", which he casually threw aside.

Thinking of the things in the Pan Palace, his face was a little uncertain.

But he said lightly: "It's okay, it's just that there was an accident." ”

The swordsman, the gentleman is also armed, the sword is a sign of identity and status, the same as jade, it must be admired, it seems that he has to find time, send someone to the palace, and let the swordsmith build another one.

However, Zhao Wuxian also had a slight jealousy in his heart, the sword was like a human minions, who didn't want their minions to be sharp? When will I be able to have a sword like a "hedgehog"?

He didn't notice that Wei looked at the broken mark on the broken sword, and his willow eyebrows moved slightly, thoughtful......

……

In a flash, it was early April, and the winter wheat had turned from green to yellow, and the full ears of wheat were getting lower and lower, and soon they would be ripe and harvested.

In Chengyi, taking advantage of the busy agricultural season before the wheat harvest, Wuxian recruited the people of the country to work for him. But he didn't have much money to pay, so he could only claim that he could offset the cost of using the mill for the next month.

So, with the enthusiasm for tofu and the concerted efforts, the whole Chengyi once again sounded the sound of ho yo ho yo yo, and several rough but huge rammed earth buildings rose from the ground on the banks of the stream.

These are kilns, and the people of the country have speculated that the gentleman is going to fire pottery. Last month, didn't he just buy a few Lu potters from Xinjiang? These days, those potters have been looking for suitable clay in the nearby mountains,

In the six months since Zhao Wuxian took office in Chengyi, the people of the country have seen a variety of new things such as the Daitian method, Keju, keel waterwheel, stone mill, tofu, etc., and the three views and horizons have been refreshed. They expected that the pottery made by the gentleman this time would definitely be very different from the one used in the past.

Indeed, Zhao Wuxian did not intend to use ordinary clay in the first place, and he asked the locals to bring potters to collect it all over the mountains, which was the raw material that later generations called "kaolin".

Kaolin is matte, pure and delicate, most suitable for kneading into the desired shape, and can avoid the deformation of the ceramic carcass or kiln cracking when firing. Moreover, it has a wide range of distribution.

Lu is worthy of being the country that later produced the public loss class, and the skills of those Lu potters are indeed very good, and they have thrown off a few streets of local wild potters in Chengyi.

Zhao Wuxian found that he didn't need to say anything at all during the early embryo-making process, and these potters were already able to skillfully use the potter's wheel.

In the process of drawing, the potter's wheel pushed by the foot rotates at high speed, and the clay ball kneaded with water is placed on it, which is squeezed and stretched into a rough prototype. In the end, under the dexterous dance of the craftsmen's hands, the smooth and round pottery embryos were made, and the process can only be described as pleasing to the eye.

Under the auspices of the experienced Rutoon, everything is going on in an orderly manner. After the embryos were dried, they were processed according to Zhao Wuxian's instructions, and then sent to the kiln to add flammable firewood.

The flint scrubbed lightly, shook off a few sparks, and the kiln fire burst into flames and remained unextinguished all night. Because the gentleman of the Zhao family said that this kiln must be fired at the highest temperature.

Lu Taoweng was also bold and wanted to question the gentleman's interference in their skills, but as soon as he said it, before Zhao Wuxian could come forward, he was reprimanded by the local people in Chengyi.

"Old man, you have to listen to the gentleman! The gentleman knows everything! ”

So Lu Taoweng could only keep his mouth shut, he was new to the city, and he didn't understand where the trust of the Chengyi people came from.

After a day of firing, it was finally time to get out of the kiln. Zhao Wuxian attached great importance to this, and specially brought a few villagers to watch, and Lu Taoweng was also full of expectations for this firing that was slightly different from the previous process.

According to tradition, the time of entering and leaving the kiln is to be inquired about in divination.

Of course, both times were predetermined by Lu potters based on experience. Cheng Wu, a god stick with no discipline and no faith, only needs to hold the deer's shoulder blade and shout loudly in front of everyone, "Shangshang Daji", after the cooperation of the last winter solstice public discussion, he has become more and more proficient in this trick.

At this time, Cheng Wu prayed for the blessing of the first saint Tao Tang, which made people break the kiln and take pottery.

In the blackened kiln, the cooled vessels were displayed in front of everyone. Lu Taoweng's eyes widened, a smile bloomed on his face, and the young Lu potter also high-fived in celebration.

I saw that those pots, tripods, gui, bowls and other pottery, without exception, appeared on the surface of a layer of green or yellow, translucent, faintly flickering and reflecting. They are hard and firm to the touch, finely organized, and can make a crisp and pleasant metallic sound when tapped.

Lu Taoweng said with some excitement: "Gentleman, this is a rare good Tao!" ”

He turned around and wanted to offer a treasure to Zhao Wuxian, but he saw that Zhao Wuxian had no joy on his face, holding a smooth Tao Zun and looking left and right critically, his brows furrowed slightly.

Rutoon knew what that expression meant, and it was in ...... Abandon?

……

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations...... I'm going to Sanjiang next week, and I'll try to do three shifts a day.
