Chapter 197: Brilliant Fireworks
An He's impression of Yuwen Hu was very good, and the two praised each other a few more words, and then they got to the point. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Brother Yuwen, this time the emperor sent An He to burn cement, and other things are easy to do, but the selected manpower must be able to keep it secret, and the younger brother is not familiar with the general prison, so there must be Brother Lao Yuwen at this point."
An He didn't want to let people leak it out as soon as he figured out the firing method of cement, and he was still counting on this to make money.
"An Zhonglang will rest assured that the lower officials will personally select the people who have passed the letter!"
Yuwen Hu patted his chest and promised, but soon frowned and asked, "But I haven't seen anything like cement in Anhe, I don't know what kind of manpower and materials Anzhonglang will need, so it's better for the lower officials to prepare?" ”
An He thought for a moment, and then said:
"Hmm~, I wonder if there will be craftsmen who burn lime or ceramics as supervisors? The firing of cement is actually very simple, and anyone who can burn lime or ceramics should be able to do so. ”
"Hehe, there are many of these two kinds of craftsmen in the prison, which belong to the Right School Office and the Zhen Official Office who will be the supervisor, and the lower officials will be able to find people immediately."
Yuwen Hu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, he was originally worried that the craftsmen required by An He were too difficult to find, but he didn't expect the firing of cement to be so low?
"Okay, in addition, I also ask Brother Yuwen to prepare some limestone, clay, iron slag and gypsum, which are all materials for firing cement."
An He then commanded again.
"An Zhonglang will rest assured, the next official will go to prepare, please wait in the hall for two An Zhonglang!" Yuwen Hu is worthy of being a technical background, a typical man of action, and immediately left after listening to An He's orders, leaving An He and Li Jingye in the hall of his official office.
"Hehe, this Brother Yuwen is still the same, he does everything in a hurry, and he doesn't delay for a moment."
Li Jingye has long understood Yuwen Hu's character, and said to An He with a smile:
"Brother Yuwen is a person who does practical things, and only a person like him can be qualified for the position of a master craftsman."
An He admires Yuwen Hu very much. There are many more types of craftsmen in the prison than in his house, and if he wants to do something new in the future, it is estimated that he will have to deal with Yuwen Hu.
The two sat in the hall for a while, feeling a little bored. Li Jingye was an idle character, stood up and walked around the hall a few times, and then walked to the corner of the hall very skillfully, opened a hidden small door and beckoned to An He:
"Brother An, come and take a look at the novelty that will be produced by the overseer. There's a lot of good stuff in there! ”
An He curiously followed Li Jingye into the small door, and found that there was a different world inside, this was a room similar to a warehouse, but the area was not large, except for two rows of wooden shelves for placing items, there were basically no other furnishings.
An He stepped forward to take a closer look at the items placed on the shelves, and found that these things were either delicate or clumsy, and some were still half-finished, and it was estimated that these were all things that would be made by craftsmen in the prison. Suddenly, Anhe's eyes were drawn to a group of pottery, which was made up of ladies, horses, and camels. And these pottery are all colorful, whether it is a figure or an animal, they are all vivid and vivid, the color is gorgeous, the reason why An He noticed them is because he has seen a set of pictures of Tang Sancai in his previous life, and this group of pottery is almost exactly the same as the picture.
"This is the legendary Tang Sancai, and it really lives up to its name!"
An He said to himself with an obsessive face, Tang Sancai is a very lively collection of antiques in later generations, and the price is even more outrageous, and it can even be auctioned for tens of millions of dollars. If this group of Tang Sancai is auctioned together in later generations, it is estimated that it will definitely be a sky-high price of hundreds of millions.
"Sixth brother, what are you staring at that pile of artifacts, and you don't feel unlucky? Come and see the good things found for my brother! ”
Just when Anhe's saliva was about to come out. Ann and shouted holding a cylindrical object next to the shelf. Hearing the words 'Dead Weapon', An He immediately became frustrated, Tang Sancai was indeed a dead weapon used for funerals, and it was not worth much now, he had paid it back for a long time just now, but An He was quickly diverted by the things in Li Jingye's hands.
"This ...... This can't be the legendary fireworks, right? ”
An He looked up and down at the bamboo tube with the thickness of his arm in his hand. What Li Jingye found just now is this thing, the upper and lower two bamboo knots of this bamboo tube are kept, and I don't know what is put in it, so that the bamboo tube is very heavy, in the middle of the bamboo knots above, there is a small hole drilled, and a rope-like thing passes through the small hole, the more An He looks at it, the more familiar it becomes, this thing is almost the same as the fireworks played during the New Year in later generations.
"That's right, this is the fireworks that will be developed by the superintendent, I don't know how effective it is, why don't you just put one on the peace and take a look?" As soon as Li Jingye was interested, no one could stop him. After speaking, regardless of whether An Hetong agreed or not, he went to the front hall with a few fireworks.
"Snort~"
As Li Jingye lit the fuse, and then quickly retreated, after a while, he saw a burst of green smoke coming out of the bamboo fireworks, and then a stream of red-green sparks erupted, which lasted for about a minute, and only then stopped after the gunpowder inside burned out.
"Well, it's really good, it's much more gorgeous than last year's fireworks, and it lasts longer, it seems that a lot of effort has been put into being a prisoner."
Li Jingye nodded with great satisfaction.
An He next to him pouted, this kind of fireworks in front of him will be put in the future generations, it is estimated that even children are not willing to play, and even in An He's opinion, this is not a real fireworks at all, the fireworks in his impression should be the kind of fireworks that hit the sky with a salute and then exploded to spread half the sky, that is the real fireworks
An He was not very interested in this thing, he saw a lot of all kinds of fireworks in later generations, and he also developed earth mines and rockets in Zhongnan Mountain, but it was later listed as a top military secret by Li Xiaojiu, and it was strictly forbidden to publicize it to the outside world.
Yuwen Hu walked in from outside the hall, and was slightly stunned when he saw the fireworks set off by Li Jingye, and then smiled:
"An Zhonglang will be very interested, this kind of improved fireworks has just been sent to An He here, there is still room for further improvement, and I will definitely give you some when it is ready."
"Then thank you Brother Yuwen!"
Li Jingye was not polite, and generously returned the courtesy.
Yuwen Wu smiled slightly, then turned to An He and said:
"General An Zhonglang, the manpower and materials are ready, please An Zhonglang will move!"
Okay, Brother Yuwen leads the way! ”
Li Jingye and An He said at the same time.
The three of them walked through several courtyards until they reached a courtyard on the westernmost side of the prison, next to the city wall. As soon as he entered here, Anhe smelled a pungent smell of lime, and by the wall of the courtyard, there were several earthen kilns, which seemed to be used to burn lime.
"See Shogun Anakaro!"
As soon as the three of them entered the courtyard, they saw a junior Jiupin official dressed in a light cyan official uniform kneeling down with a helper to greet them. Looking at the grades of officials in the Tang Dynasty, they can be distinguished only from the official uniforms, of which the third grade or above is purple; Four products, deep crimson; Five-pin, shallow crimson; Six-pin, dark green; Seven pins, light green; Eight pins, dark blue; Nine pins, light green.
"Get up!"
Without waiting for An He to speak, Li Jingye waved his hand and kindly asked them to get up, and everyone hurriedly thanked them.
In fact, at this time, Li Jingye was just a captain of the Left Guard, and this was just a position he got based on the face of his grandfather Li Shiji. But with his grandfather, the left servant, no one dares to underestimate him. (To be continued.) )
