Li Junxian asked Dugu Yiren to introduce him to a kiln for firing porcelain, and then Li Junxian went to see it. Li Junxian's first industry planned to start with porcelain, because he probably understood that the development of porcelain in the Tang Dynasty had just begun, and Li Junxian could show his skills through the development of porcelain. Moreover, the profit of high-end porcelain is very high, and it can become a super luxury!

"General Li, this is the best master in this kiln, Master Zhou! Master Zhou is a master of porcelain firing in our Tang Dynasty. The owner of the porcelain kiln said.

Master Zhou also hurriedly said, "Hello General Li!" ”

"Okay, Master Zhou, this time it's mainly you who will assist me. Also, it has been a few days since I contracted this kiln, and the losses in the past few days are borne by me Li Junxian. I'll write a note later, you go to my house and ask for money, and my maid will receive you!" Li Junxian said.

"Oops, thank you General Li, thank you General Li!" The boss said excitedly.

For this kind of production-oriented industry, if there is one less day of production, the loss is not small. And now that Li Junxian is willing to bear it, of course it's good.

"Master Zhou, what type of porcelain do you have in my Datang?" Li Junxian asked.

Master Zhou recalled for a moment and said, "Ordinary people in my Tang Dynasty use celadon and white porcelain, which are used in daily life. Celadon and white porcelain are called celadon and white porcelain because the color of their glaze is cyan and white, respectively. There is also a commonly used type of porcelain, which is fired into various ornaments and then colored with different colors of glaze. However, this kind of thing is used as a funeral vessel, not for us living people. ”

Li Junxian also nodded secretly, because this statement was exactly the same as what Li Junxian understood. Li Junxian has seen from history books that the Tang Dynasty was actually the era of pottery and porcelain, and porcelain would be produced in large quantities after the Tang Dynasty. The famous porcelain of the Tang Dynasty is celadon, white porcelain, and Tang Sancai. However, Tang Sancai is used to bury the dead, and ordinary people can't see it. Tang dynasty porcelain was very "plain" and hardly had any patterns, presumably because the technique of painting on porcelain had not yet been developed.

"Master Zhou, can you specialize in producing an ornament made of pure glaze?" Li Junxian asked.

Li Junxian said that the porcelain composed of pure glaze is actually the so-called thin porcelain in later generations. Thin porcelain is generally only one or two millimeters thick, and it is purely composed of glaze, and the light transmission ability is very strong, almost no less than glass. And this kind of thin porcelain, whether in the East or the West, is a rare treasure. In the West, some people once exaggerated that a thin porcelain can be exchanged for an army. Although this statement is an exaggeration, it is enough to show the preciousness of thin porcelain.

Li Junxian wants to do a business in the production of porcelain, so of course he must be creative. If there is no new idea, just the simple production of white porcelain celadon and Tang Sancai, it is simply impossible to be the opponent of those old businessmen who have been in the market for a long time. So if you want to open up the market, you have to produce something that you don't usually have. And thin porcelain is a very new porcelain, enough to sell for a high price, even enough to sell from the Silk Road to the West.

"General Li, if the light is made of glaze, we can't do it! It's not just me who can't do it, I'm afraid the porcelain masters of the whole Tang Dynasty can't do it. Master Zhou also said carefully.

Li Junxian frowned, he didn't expect that he couldn't do it. According to the introduction of the boss of the porcelain kiln just now, the level of this Master Zhou's firing porcelain should be rare in the whole Tang Dynasty, but he can't do it. However, Li Junxian has only heard of thin porcelain, but Li Junxian has only seen the specific production method cursoryly. Li Junxian had a cursory look at the production method of thin fetal porcelain, but he found that the production of thin fetal porcelain was very difficult, and there were many processes, which could not be made by experienced old craftsmen. And now it is the Tang Dynasty, and many methods of firing porcelain in later generations have not been invented, so the level of porcelain firing in this era is far less than that of the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.

"Since thin porcelain can't work, we have to come up with another way." Li Junxian thought secretly.

But Li Junxian, a person who is only half-baked about porcelain, is difficult for him to come up with. Because although Li Junxian is a historical researcher, it is impossible for him to focus on porcelain in later generations. He didn't expect that he would be able to cross over, so naturally it was impossible to specialize in those technical aspects. Now that the result has crossed over, and if you want to rely on technology to make money, of course, it is a bit of a headache.

Although Li Junxian has some understanding of the firing methods of many porcelain, many of them have been ruled out by him one by one. Either he didn't know much about it, because some porcelain processes were too complicated, and Li Junxian didn't read them carefully, so he couldn't produce them. Either the process is simple, but the technical content is too high, and it cannot be produced in the Tang Dynasty, where the technology of firing porcelain was not yet mature.

Li Junxian now wanted something that could not only meet the needs of the Tang Dynasty's porcelain production, but also be novel enough. If it can't be novel enough, it won't be able to open the market. Even, Li Junxian still wants to sell it to foreign countries! Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty actually had a lot of foreigners, which has been around since the Sui Dynasty. And Li Junxian also plans to sell these things to foreigners, so that he can get a high profit. But if you don't come up with something new, why should people buy your stuff from foreign ghosts!

"Why did you stop firing porcelain? Didn't we already place an order? An exotic voice came.

Li Junxian looked over and found that a person with a Western face was arguing with the owner of this porcelain kiln. It depends on the situation that this Westerner ordered porcelain, but now the boss has temporarily leased this porcelain kiln to Li Junxian to experiment with new products, so he can't fire it to the Westerner, which creates a conflict. However, it didn't take long for the Westerner to be killed.

"General Li, it's okay, it's just a barbarian from Taixi, you don't have to pay attention to him!" The boss said.

For the boss, a Taixi barbarian is far less important than Li Junxian, the emperor's favorite minister, and a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. If he befriends Li Junxian, then the profits he will get in the future will be greater, and there is no need for him to offend Li Junxian for the sake of a Western barbarian.

However, Li Junxian said secretly: "The land of Taixi should also be Europe!" Europe, porcelain, Europe, porcelain. Hey, there you have it! ”
