When Li Xiang followed his father home, it was already completely dark. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The two of them had a simple dinner at a restaurant, and then dragged their tired bodies back home.

As soon as Li Xiang returned home, he was not idle, and hurriedly went to the stove to boil water and make tea for his father.

Li Kang saw that his son seemed to have changed as if he had changed a person, not at all like the little young master who had come to stretch out his hand for food, and he was even happier in his heart.

Drinking the tea, Li Kang smiled and said: "Xiang'er, I went to the kiln for a day today, what do you think!" ”

Li Xiang pondered for a moment and said, "Father, the child thinks that it is necessary to reform the firing process of the official kiln now. Imagine, now the quality of porcelain clay near Lin'an is getting worse and worse, the yield of fired porcelain is declining step by step, if you do not improve the porcelain-making process, the official kiln will be difficult to continue in the future, you are the supervisor of the official kiln in charge of the Xiu Nei Division, and the responsibility is great! ”

Li Kang nodded and said, "I'm on the point!" It's just that, with the current technology, it is too difficult to improve the porcelain-making process of the entire official kiln! ”

Li Xiang smiled and said, "Father, why don't you leave this matter to the child, the child will definitely be able to complete it within a month." ”

Li Kang's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "What? You, a teenager who has never been in a kiln, dare to say such a thing? Even the careless man who has been doing it for more than 20 years doesn't dare to pat his chest and say that he can do this! Aren't you confused? ”

Li Xiang said: "Father, what I said is true!" Without reform, there will be no way out for the official kiln of the Xiu Nei Division! ”

Li Xiang naturally knows that the leap in the porcelain-making process in later generations is mainly in the porcelain clay formula, firing temperature control, kiln design, loading and firing process, etc., for example, in the Qing Dynasty, the temperature of porcelain generally reached more than 1300C, which was not only higher than that of the Ming Dynasty, but also reached the firing temperature of modern hard porcelain. Therefore, the pastel porcelain at that time was also very famous, not only the porcelain was dense and hard, but also the production technology was very skillful. The appearance quality and physical properties of porcelain have been significantly improved compared with the previous generation, and the more important yield has also been greatly improved.

The porcelain kiln is developed from generation to generation, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the prototype of the egg-shaped kiln has appeared, and when it evolved to the Yongzheng Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, the egg-shaped kiln was more mature in terms of kiln body and internal structure and firing system, and was gradually standardized and fixed, becoming a formal egg-shaped kiln. In addition to the egg-shaped kiln, there were also a variety of special kilns in the early Qing Dynasty, such as the dragon kiln used for roasting dragon jars, and the color kilns used for roasting color glazed porcelain.

Before the Yuan Dynasty, most of the raw materials for tire making were single porcelain clay. In the Yuan Dynasty, the "binary formula" method of porcelain stone and kaolin began to be adopted. After adopting this formula, the firing temperature of porcelain is effectively increased, the deformation rate of porcelain is reduced, the hardness of porcelain is enhanced, and the whiteness and transparency of porcelain are improved.

This is an epoch-making progress in ceramic craftsmanship. Before the Yuan Dynasty, the raw material for glaze making has always been a single glaze stone. In the Yuan Dynasty, it began to use ash preparation. After the glaze raw materials were changed, the glaze color of the shadow green glaze was darker than that of the Song Dynasty. Furthermore; Yuan Shi also created a kind of egg white glaze with a slight strip of blue and white, as transparent as jade, and similar to duck egg color. It was at that time that the famous Yuan Qinghua appeared.

Li Xiang continued: "Father, I have a suggestion, that is, to set up a technology research and development center on the official kiln, specializing in the study of porcelain clay formula, which is a problem that needs to be solved urgently, by adding some raw materials, you can make the current poor quality porcelain clay, back into a high-quality raw material." Then there is the research and innovation of kilns and firing, and so on. In addition, we can imitate the construction method of this dynasty, engage in a porcelain-making method of official kiln porcelain, and standardize the whole process of porcelain-making, so that the overall quality of porcelain can be improved, and the yield rate can be greatly improved. ”

Li Kang couldn't believe his ears, when did his son become so proficient in porcelain-making? Compared to him, the pottery governor, it is much more powerful! The new things that burst out of his mouth were a little incomprehensible to him. But when I think about it, I think it makes sense.

Li Kang said in surprise: "Xiang'er, you said it so well!" My father almost didn't recognize you, how did you know that? ”

Li Xiang smiled mysteriously and said: "Father, this matter is very bizarre, I hope you don't talk about it to anyone after hearing it!" In fact, the child's serious illness is a blessing in disguise, in a dream the child met a fairy, he taught the child a lot of things, this porcelain-making is just a small skill! ”

"What? Xiang'er, this, is this all true? Li Kang almost couldn't believe it, did the gods really care for his Li family?

Li Xiang nodded and said, "Father, of course this is true. It's just that you must not say this, otherwise it will definitely cause trouble, the fairy said to the child in a dream, these magic skills must not be casually revealed to the world, otherwise it will be punished by God. ”

Li Kang laughed and said, "God bless my Li family!" Xiang'er, when I heard you say this, my father knows that today's kiln porcelain must be a success, right? ”

Li Xiang nodded and said, "Father is right! I can guarantee that you will see a miracle when the kiln opens tomorrow! ”

Li Kang hurriedly said: "Xiang'er, what other magic skills did the gods teach you, come and listen to it for your father, and promise that your father will not spread it." Moreover, the gods have taught you such skills, and they must hope that you will use them to benefit the people, so you can take some of them. ”

Li Xiang smiled and said: "Father, you really have the people of the world in your heart!" Kids admire! Yes, the child knows that there are many amazing things in this world. For example, under our feet, there may be magical things, like the natural gas that the gods say, buried deep underground, if used properly, it can even be used to burn porcelain, which is better than using firewood I don't know how many times! In addition, from limestone from the mountains, with ordinary clay, a material called cement can be fired, and many strong buildings can be built by mixing sand and stone with it. Of course, this is all done slowly, and father, don't be in a hurry. ”

Li Kang slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Okay, Xiang'er!" These are all very useful things for the father, if you get all the gas and cement you said, I don't know how many people will be blessed! What a providence! It seems that God really favors my Li family! Xiang'er, this matter of the official kiln process reform will be handed over to you for my father! As a father, I want to see now, the Imperial Inner Division, will you dare to press on my head in the future! It's good to teach them to know that I, Li Kang, am not easy to mess with! ”

Li Xiang said silently: "Father, I didn't expect you to be angry all the time!" Okay, in order to fight for this breath, the child will help you to defeat Liu Xuan, who is under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Front! ”
