Chapter 149: The Way to Make Money
In this poem, I mentioned that I saw her letters, and I felt empathy, and I longed to fly to Saibei with the bright moonlight to listen to her beautiful Hu Ji qin music. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info later said that when the flowers bloom in the spring of next year, he will definitely rescue her back to the big man no matter what.
The last sentence of the poem mentions two historical figures who entered the Western Regions and eventually returned to the Han Dynasty. "Dingyuan" refers to Ban Chao during the Ming Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was ordered to send an envoy to the Western Regions to pacify more than 50 countries in the border areas, and made important contributions to the stability and cultural development of the Han Dynasty's frontiers. When he was old, he applied to the emperor for Han, and Emperor Ming gave him permission, and he returned to Luoyang, which had been absent for more than 50 years.
And "Su Wu" is not to mention, at the order of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to send an envoy to Saibei, but was detained by the Huns in the Western Regions to shepherd sheep, held in the clouds for 19 years, when the temples were gray, and finally returned to the Han Dynasty......
Sun Lang wanted to use these two heroes of the Han Dynasty to compare Cai Wenji's situation at this time, and consciously instantly raised her force to N notches. If she reads this poem, she will definitely think that my Sun Lang is also a great talent in the world, and the so-called bosom friend and confidant are also.
He didn't care that it was still the Han Dynasty at that time, and this kind of five-character poetry was not popular at all, and he didn't care about the crooked writing of his brush, which was thousands of miles away from Cai Wenji's flying white calligraphy. He carefully folded the brocade into the shape of a wild goose, handed it to Dong Xi, and said, "I have to make you work hard for a while, rest for a day today, and go to Saibei tomorrow to run again, and hand over this letter to Cai Wenji in person." ”
Dong Xian Yile said: "Our magic skill is given by the son, how can we talk about hard work?" Why take a day off? I'll set off now, and I'll be by Cai Xiaoniu's side when it's dark! ”
When he had said this, he was about to leave. Suddenly, he asked with a wicked smile: "Hehe, this must be a love story written, can we take it apart and take a look?" ”
Sun Lang smiled: "Of course you can see it...... You can't read it anyway! ”
Dong Xi smirked, unfolded his magic technique, and swooped out of the door. When Sun Lang saw him leaving, he put his hands behind his back, buried his head, paced, and thought hard about the way to make money and make a fortune during the Three Kingdoms period.
If you want to make money, you need to live in strange goods. If you want to live in a strange thing, you have to make something that no one else has and sell it.
Not only that, if you want to earn 5,000 catties of gold in the shortest possible time, it is not enough for others to have it, it has to be a luxury that dignitaries like.
During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, what luxury goods could be sold in a big way?
Sun Lang pondered while wandering around the courtyard of Cao's Mansion. After wandering around for most of the day, my hand almost scratched my scalp, and I didn't come up with a reason. I was nostalgic for the charcoal, if there was that magical mouse, I would definitely be able to help myself come up with a way, suddenly I heard the maid shouting to herself, it turned out that noon had arrived, and she was going to have lunch, and she thought that her stomach was also hungry, so she walked back.
As he was walking on the road, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a row of low houses on his right, with a large chimney on it, which was gurgling green smoke, which turned out to be the kitchen in the Cao Mansion.
At the door of the kitchen, an old woman was squatting, carrying a pottery jar in her hand, scouring rice in it. The jar was like a large cannonball, with a round mouth on the top and a cone-shaped bottom on the bottom, with a small ear on each side of the jar, and a layer of gray and yellow glaze on the outside, and the surface was as ugly and rough as the bark of a dead tree.
Sun Lang stepped forward, and the old ladies in the kitchen saw that it was the princess from the mansion who came, and they all hid aside and didn't dare to speak. Sun Lang smiled indifferently at them, and just looked down at the glazed jar, and saw that the glazed surface of the jar was still painted with some concave patterns, which should have been drawn with branches during firing. Looking at the corner of the kitchen, there are still clay pots and bowls, some of which are also brown and yellow, and some of which are faintly green, but in any case, these clay pots and glazed jars are also rough porcelain products, without any artistic value at all.
Sun Lang slapped his head, and then recalled that the British called us "China" in China, and they were talking about "porcelain". Porcelain has a long history in China, dating back to the primitive clan and tribal eras, but the ceramics at that time were all made of ordinary clay and did not have any novel characteristics. Later, in the Qin and Han dynasties, people began to apply glaze to the outside of the clay, so that the ceramics had a certain luster and brightness, so that they gradually replaced the expensive bronzes and became a necessary item for people's daily life.
But at this time, the ceramics were vulgar and still could not be called works of art. Tang Sancai appeared in the Tang Dynasty, indicating that the working people have been able to fire out the color of the glaze, Tang Sancai is similar to a paper man and paper horse, is a burial object when dignitaries are buried, indicating that in this era, ceramics have become a luxury goods of some potential value.
In the Song Dynasty, with the prosperity and development of the economy, it was an era of great development of porcelain. Dingyao, Jun kiln, Cizhou kiln, Yaozhou kiln, and even the famous Longquan kiln, Jingdezhen porcelain, etc., have all sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and have become the most favorite ornamental playthings of the royal family of the Song Dynasty, and have also become the top grade of the vassal elegance of literati and ink writers.
Yuan has Yuan blue and white, and Ming has a bucket of colorful chicken bowls. In the Qing Dynasty, the official kiln developed greatly, and the skilled craftsmen did everything in the firing of porcelain in order to please the royal family, and worked hard, and there were many new styles of porcelain such as enamel color, glaze red, pastel, new color, bean green glaze and so on. The porcelain surface is no longer a single-color glaze, but is more mixed with various artistic elements such as flowers, landscapes, figures, and poems. The shape of porcelain is even more diverse, such as general jars, lotus seed jars, flower goose, garlic bottles, gooseneck bottles, etc.
The porcelain of the Qing Dynasty was even more prosperous in the three generations of Kang Yongqian. During the Kangxi period, there were Lang Tingji, during the Yongzheng period, there was Nian Qianyao, and during the Qianlong period, there was Tang Ying, all of whom were painstaking and lonely people who specialized in inventing fresh styles of porcelain to please the royal family's constantly improving connoisseurship. In particular, Tang Ying, who served as the kiln supervisor of Jingdezhen for more than 50 years, invented nearly 60 kinds of new glazed colors, which can be said to have pushed the shape and color of porcelain to an extreme.
Obviously, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, porcelain was not only a necessary container for daily life, but also a symbol of rich aristocrats showing off their wealth, and an artistic carrier that spread throughout Chinese culture.
If you can fire those unique and ingenious porcelain in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era, and then rely on your connections in Xudu at this time, you can sell these artistic luxury goods to those powerful nobles in Xudu at a high price, wouldn't you be able to make a lot of money?
Sun Lang slapped his fists and shouted: "Lao Tzu has been a blacksmith, a carpenter, and a little stucco maker, it seems that this time I will be a pottery master again!" (To be continued.) )
