"Absolutely. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Liu Yong said eloquently, "May I ask the county magistrate, which place in the city is the most expensive now?" ”

Yu thought about it for a while, and said, "It should be near the county government and on both sides of the official road." ”

"Exactly. This is because these places are the most crowded and most populous, so they have the best business and the highest rents. The planning is the same, the county magistrate, please see, this is the main road of the city after the planning, the blocks on both sides are marked in blue, which is used for commerce, and the price will be higher at the auction; Others, indicated in orange, are for workshops and residential land, which are slightly less expensive, and green are for farmland, which are cheaper. ”

"Where's the red zone?" Yu asked, pointing to the map.

"It is intended to be used for government reserved land and public land." Liu Yong explained, seeing that Yu was a little confused, he said in detail, "In my second thought, after the expansion of Fuyi, more supporting facilities will be needed, such as schools, warehouses, markets, etc. ”

Yu Fu nodded and said, "Childe is right. It's just that these plots are far away from the county seat, just a piece of wasteland, how can they be willing to buy them at a high price? ”

Liu Yong smiled and said in a low voice: "Yu County." After the expansion of the county seat, do you still have enough subordinates to manage such a large area? After recruiting so many more people, is the current county government enough? Isn't it allowed to be rebuilt? Can't we move the county government there first? Will there still be no popularity around the county office? ”

Yu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Liu Gongzi, you are really shrewd." Dong Yun also smiled and said: "Brother Liu is a complete profiteer. ”

Liu Yong didn't care, pointed to the map and said: "County magistrate, please see, this is Yueming Lake outside the city, if we build a trail around the lake, plant some weeping willows, plant some flowers and trees, plant some reeds, and put some swimming fish, who doesn't want to live in such a comfortable environment?" Should the price be higher? ”

Yu Fan stretched out his index finger and pointed at Liu Yong, smiling, "What a profiteer." ”

After laughing for a while, Liu Yong stopped laughing and said, "County magistrate, this is just a preliminary idea. The real planning must not be sloppy, and it is necessary to convene relevant people who are familiar with the county's conditions to study it carefully. ”

Yu turned his head and said, "Of course. Okay, that's it for today. When the county's plan comes out, I will invite my son to discuss the auction. ”

A few days later, Liu Yong was practicing calligraphy in the tent, and suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be Dong Yun holding a white rabbit-like ornament in his hand, smiling like a flower, "Big brother, look, is this little rabbit good-looking?" ”

Liu Yong saw that the rabbit was white in color, warm in texture, and pinched vividly, nodded, his heart suddenly moved, and he picked up the white mud and looked at it carefully, "Yun'er, where did you get this kaolin?" ”

"What kaolin?"

"Oh. It's this white soil, which we call kaolin. Liu Yong explained, but I really don't know why it is called kaolin, which is the best raw material for making porcelain.

"Oh. It was Brother Dong who dug it out of the mountain, and there are a lot of them. Everyone thought the mud was so white that they took it out for their children to play with. There is a master surnamed Zhang, who is skillful, and he pinched rabbits, ponies, and villains very much. "It turned out that because of the establishment of the People's League, more than twice as many people went to the military camp for training, so Liu Yong asked Dong Xi to open the mountain and build two more sites, but he didn't expect to dig out kaolin.

"That's what Master Zhang pinched?" Liu Yong took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and I have to say that it looks like it.

"yes. Do you want to pinch one for the eldest brother too? ”

"Okay." Liu Yong smiled lightly, surprised and happy in his heart, "Yun'er, take me to that place immediately." ”

When I got there, it was indeed a kaolin mine of a large scale, and Liu Yong immediately ordered the mine to be sealed and sent soldiers to guard it. Liu Yong was very excited, you must know that during the Three Kingdoms period, most of the pottery was still fired, and there was very little porcelain, because people at this time had not fully mastered the key technology of firing porcelain. One is the raw material, that is, kaolin; The second is temperature. The temperature of firing porcelain should be more than 1200 degrees, so that the hardness of firing is large, and the glaze can be produced. Nowadays, firewood is commonly used for pottery, and the kiln temperature is mostly only a few hundred degrees, and only occasionally some porcelain can be fired. As a result, porcelain is produced in very small quantities and is extremely expensive.

This is quite a lot of wealth, Liu Yong immediately went to the county government to report to Yu Xuan. Yu was only slightly surprised to hear the good news. These days, Liu Yong has brought too many surprises, and Yu Yu seems to have become accustomed to them.

"Childe, this county is still discussing the matter of urban planning with others, and you will have to worry about this porcelain making matter. You can rest assured, the county has instructed everywhere, as long as it is ordered by Liu Gongzi, it is agreed by the county, asking for money to give money, and asking people to give people. You don't need to report everything to me in the future. ”

Liu Yong was overjoyed and arched his hand: "Thank you county magistrate, you're welcome." ”

After saying goodbye to Yu Xuan, Liu Yong invited the best potters and charcoal workers in the county, and he was not polite, but went straight to the topic and said: "Everyone, I invite you to come and do one thing, porcelain and charcoal." I will make my terms, and if you are willing, you will sign an agreement with me, and if you don't want to, you will not be reluctant, you can have a meal and a glass of wine. Of course, some people say that I haven't eaten or drunk, so that's okay, you didn't say anything to me. ”

The craftsmen smiled, only to hear Liu Yong say again: "Since I want to dig you from other places, the salary will naturally be more than before, right?" Everyone smiled again, but listened to Liu Yong and said: "The salary is composed of three parts, one is the basic salary, you only need to complete the amount to get three times the current income." ”

There was a sudden exclamation below, and after a while, a craftsman said boldly: "Childe, let me ask, is it because the income has increased so much, is the working time also multiplied?" The others nodded in agreement, and that was the point.

Liu Yong nodded slightly and said, "This master asked the point." It does add some work, but it's not something you can't handle. I have calculated the amount of work you can produce in each hour now, multiplied by five hours a day. Also, there are four days off a month, is there a problem? ”

The workers discussed in a whisper for a while, and the leader said, "Didn't Childe say that wages are made up of three parts?" Could you please tell me how the other two parts are calculated? ”

"Okay." Liu Yong nodded and said with a smile, "The second type is called the Overproduction Award." As long as you produce more than the amount I set for you, you can get this overproduction award. The amount is paid separately according to 10 yuan per piece, and there is no upper limit for more work. The third type is called year-end dividends. That is, at the end of each year, I will give you one percent of the profits as a one-time year-end bonus. The remuneration of charcoal workers is also implemented in this way. ”

Liu Yong's words made the big guy gasp, this is such a big gesture. These people are not stupid, and after only a brief moment of thinking in their heads, they all nodded in agreement.

"However, I also have conditions. We must sign an agreement stipulating their respective responsibilities and report the violation of the terms to the county magistrate. Liu Yong had to take this into account, and at that time there was no intellectual property protection, and there were no secrets to the porcelain-firing process, so it was necessary to draw up an agreement. Liu Yong is not worried about how to survive after digging other people's walls, after all, one high-end and one low-end, do not affect each other.

Liu Yong, as the representative of Party A, signed an agreement with Party B (potter, charcoal worker, and later several furnace workers), stipulating the respective rights and obligations of both parties, and submitted it to the county government for the record. What Liu Yong is most concerned about is that all technical personnel are not allowed to leave, the process must not be leaked, and the legal liability for breach of contract is written into it. With the county government as a guarantee, the craftsmen are much more relieved. As for the distribution of income, according to Yu Xuan's proposal, in addition to the necessary expenses, the county government and the military camp will each account for 40 percent, and Liu Yong will personally account for 20 percent.

Immediately afterward, preparations proceeded in an orderly manner. Liu Yong is a layman in this regard, and he only watches the excitement from the sidelines. One moment to see the construction of kilns, one moment to see people burning charcoal, another time to watch people make embryos, another time to watch people burn porcelain...... Stimulated by money, everyone was in high spirits, and the scene was quite hot.

The accumulated clay should be soaked for several days, and the impurities in it should be removed after precipitation, and then fished out, lime and feldspar were added, stirred and kneaded repeatedly, and then put on a flat stone and beaten repeatedly, just like making steamed buns, until the soil can be kneaded and shaped at will and uninterrupted. After mold or hand kneading, the desired porcelain shape is made, and then the clay is cooled to semi-dry, and then placed on the plate, and the surface is rotated with a knife to ensure that the porcelain appearance is smooth and clean. Finally, according to the need, use iron, bone, wood and other carved knives to carve patterns on the surface.

After a few days, the mud blanks are dry, then they are taken out and gently placed upside down at the bottom of the kiln and burned with charcoal. At this time, the kiln temperature is the key to success or failure, the temperature is low, the fire is not thorough, and the glaze cannot be produced; When the temperature is high, it is easy to burst. Therefore, Liu Yong specially invited a master who was better at burning the fire in several blacksmith shops in the county to personally take charge of the furnace, and also ordered a few large bellows to supply air. Rao is like this, the firing work is not smooth, most of the first few furnaces have paid tuition, and the burning is either bursting or collapsing, and there is not much to use. After repeatedly adjusting the temperature of the furnace, the fine porcelain was finally fired.

Looking at the porcelain fired, one by one crystal clear, white as jade, everyone was stunned, and they couldn't put it down when they held it in their hands. Unfortunately, the craftsmanship is still insufficient, and there are still many porcelain surfaces with glaze loss, and only a few are truly immaculate, but Liu Yong is still very excited, and I believe that over time, the success rate will be greatly improved.

Yu Fan was also overjoyed to see these porcelain, and after discussing with Liu Yong, he decided to set up several caravans in the county, and then ship them to Jingzhou and other places for sale after burning more. In addition to the daily use of pots, bowls, pots, porcelain pillows, etc., Liu Yong also listened to Dong Yun's suggestion to ask Master Zhang, who is good at pinching people and animals, to specially fire porcelain horses, porcelain rabbits and other small prices, another kind of bird form, which is filled with water, and gently blows on the small tube on the tail, and there will be realistic birdsong, I believe it will definitely attract the ladies and children of Jingzhou.

Sure enough, porcelain is very popular in Jingzhou, and they are all buying as much as they want, and officials and wealthy families are proud to have this kind of porcelain, which makes the price rise step by step, but Liu Yong, Yu Tuo, etc. have made a lot of money.
