Chapter 62: The Great Designer Li Chun
The liquor patent is the most famous, the reputation of the fairy brewing is there, and the rest is tepid, Song Laosan saw that everyone seemed to be not interested, clapped his palms, and a small guy walked up with a tray, and there was a red clay brick in the tray. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After everyone saw the clay red bricks, they were silent, the bricks were not used by the common people, a kiln to burn for more than 20 days, the yield rate of the kiln was low and scary, sometimes less than half of the qualified ones, in addition to the government and large households, the common people who can use it.
"This red brick firing technology is also a way to make money, now I Datang Chuli, a hundred wastes to be revived, sooner or later will inevitably build a large number of civil engineering, this red brick compared with the green brick although the hardness is slightly different, but the firing time is short, the output is large, the yield rate is high...... "In order to find a buyer for the patent, Song Laosan is also open, desperately boasting about the technology of firing red bricks.
"Dare to ask how many bricks can be produced in this red brick kiln?" Finally someone asked.
Song Laosan took a closer look, it was an old man sitting in the back row who looked to be over half a hundred years old, dressed very plainly, with wrinkles on his face, like an inconspicuous old farmer in the countryside. Song Laosan hugged his fist at the other party and said: "How much can be burned depends entirely on the size of the brick kiln, but this red brick process is much simpler than the green brick, no need to seal the kiln and water, the fastest situation, a kiln brick can be produced in a few days, and the good product is more than ninety percent." ”
The old man's eyes lit up when he heard this: "If what Your Excellency said is true, then the old man wants this method." ”
"You can rest assured, my Song Laosan is also the number one person in Luoyang City, I don't believe you can go and inquire, Luoyang Bookstore is made of red bricks, beautiful and strong, the cost is low, I dare to say, this red brick will inevitably become the mainstream in the future."
"Who is this man?" Everyone whispered about the old man's origins.
"Haven't seen ......"
When the old man saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he didn't care, and continued to ask, "I don't know what the asking price of this red brick patent is?" ”
Song Laosan lowered his head and thought for a moment: "How about a hundred times?" "I thought that this technology would be popular, but who knew but no one cared, and it seems that people's ability to accept strange things is still too weak.
The old man hesitated, but nodded: "Okay, just a hundred!" ”
"Come on, sign the deed!" Song Laosan beckoned to his subordinates, "Dare to ask the uncle's name?" ”
"The old man's surname is Li, and his single name is a spring character."
Li Chun! Wang Maiteng sat up from the chair, it couldn't be that person, right? Could it be such a coincidence?
Li Er looked at Wang Mai's abnormal behavior strangely: "This red brick firing method has only fallen a hundred times, what are you happy about?" ”
Wang Mai didn't care to explain to Li Er, and sued him, so he walked out of the back hall impatiently, and saw the old man who was signing the deed, and hurriedly walked over to greet him: "This old man, I am presumptuous, I have something I want to ask." ”
All the merchants were a little stunned when they saw Wang Mai suddenly appear, but everyone was a person who was good at observing words and feelings, seeing that he was richly dressed and the jade pendant on his waist was also of high quality, they knew that this person's identity was unusual, and they all opened their eyes to see his intention.
The old man was also surprised for a while, but seeing that the other party didn't seem to have malicious intent, he nodded and said, "The old man must know everything." ”
"May I ask if you are the Li Chun who presided over the construction of the Zhaozhou Bridge?" After asking, he was very worried, he went to the Ministry of Works and the general supervisor to inquire about the whereabouts of this Li Chun, but he didn't get any news, and he didn't know if the person in front of him was the most famous engineer in history.
The old man was stunned when he heard this, but he still replied truthfully: "It's the old man!" ”
Sure enough, it was him, the hard work paid off, and it really made me meet this legendary figure, Wang Mai trembled with excitement, and bowed deeply to the old man: "It turns out that it is really you, I have admired you for a long time, and I can see you today, it is worth this life." ”
This inexplicable move suddenly made people scratch their heads, and it was really incomprehensible to see that this person seemed to have a very noble identity, but he made such a big gift to an old man who was not good-looking.
"Hurry up, please! The old man is just a craftsman who fiddles with bricks and stones, and he deserves such a great gift. The old man hurriedly lifted Wang Mai up.
"There are some things I want to ask you below, how about you go down to the back hall and talk about it?" Wang Mai invited.
Li Chun hesitated slightly, nodded and said, "It's okay!" ”
Wang Mai turned his head and smiled apologetically at Song Laosan: "Old Song, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to disturb you, let's go to the back hall to talk, you continue!" ”
Although Song Laosan didn't know why Wang Mai would be inferior to such a bad old man, he knew that he must have a reason for doing so, so he hurriedly said: "You go, don't get in the way." ”
Seeing the two of them enter the back hall, Li Er looked curiously at this old man who made Wang Mai value him so much, and after watching it for a long time, he didn't find anything outstanding.
"This is His Royal Highness King Qin, the second prince of the Tang Dynasty." Wang Mai hurriedly introduced Li Er's identity to the old man.
"This ......" Li Chun was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly made a big salute to Li Er: "Old man Li Chun, meet the king!" "Although I had long guessed that the identity of the other party was not ordinary, I didn't expect to see King Qin, so the identity of the person in front of me ......
"In the Lower King Wheat ......"
"Old man......" Li Chun subconsciously wanted to salute when he heard Wang Mai's name, but was stopped by Wang Mai.
"You don't have to be polite!" Wang Mai hurriedly said.
King Wheat? Li Chun only felt that this name was a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a long time, he remembered the identity of the other party, and said with a glaring eyeball: "It turns out that Your Excellency is the prince of Luoyang." ”
"It's down there!"
Li Chun's mind was a little foggy, originally he was just here for the firing process of this red brick, but he didn't expect to meet two people with such a noble status, and said: "I don't know what the King of Qin and Wang Jungong commanded, the old man must do his best." Thinking that someone so condescending to see him must have some requirements, Li Chun asked himself if what he could do was the skill of fiddling with masonry, and it was estimated that the other party came with this purpose.
"Actually......" Wang Mai smiled awkwardly, "I just admire your old name for a long time, and I want to see you......"
Yes? Li Chun and Li Er both looked at him with inexplicable eyes, is this person abnormal, a county duke, a dignified second-class member of the imperial court, actually admires the name of a craftsman, it is simply incredible.
"The Zhaozhou Bridge you built is a very remarkable design......," Wang Mai said, snapping his fingers, began to talk about the benefits of the Zhaozhou Bridge. When I first took the professional class, the teacher also talked about the benefits of this Zhaozhou Bridge, and I was particularly impressed.
