As a result, many vassal and elegant literati and artists are more sought after for this kind of "custom-made" porcelain. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Some people want to pursue their favorite woman, so they order a porcelain vase with the words "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, fair lady, gentleman is good". Some people want to bribe their bosses, so they write their sycophants and praises on the bottle, which has achieved a double effect.

Sun Lang was tired, so he recruited artists who were good at carving and painting in Xudu City, and hired them to replace his own work. The scale of this pottery team became larger and larger, and in the end, Sun Lang became a small boss who only commanded and did not work.

The raw materials were either mined or given by the imperial court, the site belonged to the Cao family, Sun Lang only had to pay labor money, and the porcelain was sold for about fifty yuan each, which was really a profitable deal.

He roughly calculated the accounts, a porcelain fifty yuan, in addition to the labor cost of about twenty yuan, then each has a net profit of thirty yuan. According to the Han Dynasty's unit of measurement, 30 taels of 5 baht is about three taels of gold, and in ancient times, one catty was equivalent to 16 taels, so for every porcelain sold, Sun Lang could make a net profit of almost 0.2 catties of gold. In this way, as long as he sells more than 25,000 porcelain, he can gather 5,000 taels of gold and redeem that Cai Wenji from the hands of the Xiongnu Shan Yu.

Although it is far away, there is always a way to get rich. His little abacus snapped, and he fantasized about the feeling of a hero saving beauty when Wen Ji returned to Han all day long.

On this day, Sun Lang was supervising the craftsmen making pottery, and suddenly saw a yellow shadow flashing beside him, and it turned out to be Dong Xi who twisted his body and rushed back.

Sun Lang stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" Then Cai Xiaoniu has a reply again? ”

Unexpectedly, Dong Xi stopped, but his face was unhappy, like a bear child breaking a vase, and stammered: "Huh...... Son...... This time I went to Mobei...... didn't meet Cai Xiaoniu, but was arrested and interrogated by the Huns......"

"Huh? Why did he interrogate you? ”

"Real...... Tell the truth...... When we went, we stole a porcelain jar from the house and wanted to take it to the grassland to find herdsmen to exchange for mare's milk wine to drink...... Unexpectedly...... But it was discovered by the barbarians under the Hun Shan Yu, and we went to see the Hun Shan Yu ......"

Sun Lang hurriedly asked: "What did the Huns tell you?" ”

Dong Xi scratched his head and said, "The Xiongnu Shan Yu didn't pay much attention to us, but he ...... It's just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that the Hun Shan Yu took a fancy to the porcelain bowl in our hands...... He said...... He said that they have beef and mutton on the grassland, and even more on the grassland and fertile soil, but the only thing they lack is this kind of porcelain that can hold water, wine, and mare's milk. He also said......"

"What else?" Sun Lang listened to Dong Xian's thoughts, and he was very curious.

Dong Xi said with a sad face: "He still said...... He doesn't want the five thousand taels of gold! If Gongzi wants to redeem Cai Wenji, he will supply him with a thousand pieces of fine porcelain. As soon as this porcelain arrived on the grassland, he immediately escorted Cai Xiaoniu back with a grand car. And that's not all...... He also said that he was willing to do business with Childe for a long time, and exchanged the horses on the grassland with Childe. ”

Dong Xi thought that his act of stealing porcelain had led the Huns to rebel, and the prince would definitely reproach him, but Sun Lang was not angry at all, but his eyes were shining, and his face showed a look of infinite surprise.

I only listened to Sun Lang pondering and muttering: "A thousand pieces of porcelain can redeem Cai Xiaoniu?" Not only that, but can you also exchange porcelain for grassland horses? ”

He deeply knew that the fundamental reason why the Han people in the ancient Central Plains were repeatedly defeated by the ethnic minorities in the north was that the Han people were mostly farmers and were not good at riding horses. Just imagine, what war doesn't pay attention to mobility first? How could an infantry standing on the ground be able to beat a cavalry that came and went like the wind?

Since ancient times, horses have been the most scarce thing in the Central Plains Dynasty. According to legend, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were only thousands of war horses in the entire Han Dynasty, in order to compete with the northern Hun cavalry, Emperor Wu Liu Che specially built the Shanglin Garden, and ordered the general Wei Qing to breed excellent war horses in it, and at the same time train the Han cavalry. After years of painstaking breeding and training, a large Han cavalry army was established that could compete with the Xiongnu.

It has always been said that southerners ride boats, and northerners ride horses. His Sun Jiajun in Jiangdong was the best at water warfare on ships, but the only thing he lacked was cavalry. If he and the Xiongnu climb the relationship, in exchange for a large grassland high-quality horse, he will build a powerful imperial cavalry one day, dominate the world, gallop in China, who can stop Lao Tzu?

Anyway, I am an assembly line production, and the cost is very low, why not exchange a porcelain for a horse?

Sun Lang clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay! He slapped Dong Xi's chest twice, and boasted: "Dumb is really the lucky general of this son!" You've done a great job! ”

Dong Xian listened to the clouds, and couldn't understand why his mistake turned into meritorious service in an instant, and when he wanted to ask a few more questions, he saw that Sun Lang had already gone in a hurry. I can only stand there stupidly, shaking my head and thinking about the cause and effect.

Sun Lang picked a white blank without flaws and impurities, personally outlined the lines with blue and white on it, and then painted the glaze after firing the kiln, fired it twice, and finally made a fine porcelain tripod. He wanted to present this porcelain made by himself to the Xiongnu Shan Yu and get closer to him.

"Ding", the instrument of honor of the Ninety-Five, is often used to describe the world and the country. On it was a young and powerful Hun with a bow in his hand and shot an arrow at an old man. Behind the young man were more than a dozen archers, who also followed and shot arrows at the old man; The old man wore a golden crown and looked like a single man.

Sun Lang called Dong Xi to his side and told him that the name of this porcelain was Ding, which symbolized power and supremacy. The picture above is the story of Mao Dunshan in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty who shot arrows and seized power. Mao Dun Shan Yu shot his father with a Ming Di arrow, seized the position of Xiongnu Shan Yu, and later unified the grassland, developing the power of the Xiongnu to the largest scale, which can be said to be the greatest generation of the Xiongnu Shan Yu.

Sun Lang asked Dong Xi to personally present this porcelain tripod to the Xiongnu Shan Yu, saying that his brilliance was comparable to that of his ancestor Mao Dun Shan Yu, and he would definitely be able to carry forward the Xiongnu and revive the majesty of his ancestors. And he is also willing to form a business partner with Shan Yu, and permanently do the business of exchanging porcelain for horses, once a thousand pieces of porcelain are made, they will be sent to Shan Yu's account immediately. In the future, the porcelain will be delivered in batches, hoping to exchange it with the best horses that have been prepared.

Dong attacked the order, picked up the porcelain tripod, and unfolded his magic skills, and went to the grassland to meet Shan Yu. (To be continued.) )
