Chapter 841: Money is hot
Now, roasted tea green tea came out in advance because of the appearance of Du Jinning, because of the good taste and easy brewing, loose tea has gradually replaced the group tea cake tea.
A money rake like Du Jinning, who walked one step at a time and looked at ten steps, saw Jingdezhen, which produced white porcelain and had a reputation that was not yet obvious, how could he not stretch out his claws to it?
As early as the beginning of her promotion of the tea ceremony, she sent Zhuang Yue to buy several important kilns in Jingdezhen.
Then, when the tea guests saw the white porcelain placed on the exquisite tea ceremony, they naturally wanted to inquire where this porcelain was sold, so Du Jinning opened a porcelain shop in the capital, and the business was booming, thus promoting the development of Jingdezhen porcelain.
In addition to doing agricultural research in his last life, Du Jinning was also a part-time online author.
Because the author of the online article wants to write, he has a lot of information to check, and his knowledge is relatively mixed. Du Jinning's memory is very good, and he can memorize most of the knowledge he has seen.
She wrote an article on the theme of porcelain, and the information on porcelain is very clear.
Blue and white porcelain is made by painting patterns on the embryo of white porcelain with blue and white materials, then adding glaze, and firing at a high temperature of 1,300 degrees Celsius. The main raw material of blue and white material is cobalt oxide. And this kind of cobalt can be extracted from a mineral called Su Ma Liqing in Dashi.
In fact, it's not just porcelain, because many of the time-travelers in ancient times had to make a fortune by burning glass and reach the pinnacle of life, so she also knew how to burn glass.
She didn't make porcelain and glassware because she knew her power didn't match her wealth. With those tea gardens, bookstores and flower shops, she is not short of money.
If it weren't for the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty that she wanted to see in her lifetime, she wouldn't have wanted blue and white porcelain and pastels to come out in advance.
Therefore, she is really going to give Zhao Yu a big gift today.
The tea set in Zhao Yu's hand is a set of blue and white porcelain bowls. This is the method of firing blue and white porcelain written by Du Jinning before his disappearance, and he bought a porcelain master from the northern kiln and sent it to Jingdezhen, and then let Qin Laoliu's people monitor the firing.
The porcelain master she bought two families, each family has three generations of grandfathers and grandchildren to burn porcelain, there are enough people, there are women and children, and they are not easy to betray. One studies firing blue and white porcelain, and the other studies firing pastel.
Because she gave the method, after more than a year of trial and error regardless of the cost, the two families finally fired the blue and white porcelain and pastel she wanted.
When Zhao Yu put down the blue and white porcelain and took out the pastel porcelain from another brocade box, not only Wu Zheng and his little servant widened their eyes, but also Wu Gonggong, who had always been calm, exhaled in a low voice.
It's so beautiful.
"How did these utensils come about?" After Zhao Yu was shocked, he turned his head and asked Du Jinning.
As an emperor, all kinds of good things are paid to him first. But he had never seen these two dazzling porcelains in front of him.
This will definitely not be what Lu Jiuyuan and they brought back from Ribenzene. They gave it to Du Jinning, and it was impossible for Du Jinning to pass it on to him again. This will bring trouble to Lu Jiuyuan and the others. Du Jinning is not a fool.
"I had someone burn it." Du Jinning said with a smile.
This sentence made the eyes of the four men widen.
But then, Zhao Yu laughed and asked, "Congratulations to the imperial sister, you have found such a skilled porcelain craftsman." ”
"Nope." Du Jinning shook his head, "This is what I have read and found that the Tang Dynasty had the green materials for firing this kind of blue and white porcelain, and these green materials were extracted from the mine." On a whim, I collected all kinds of colored ores that I could buy, and asked people to ask a lot of porcelain craftsmen, and finally drew up some recipes, and asked the craftsmen to take the kiln I bought in Jingdezhen to test, but I didn't expect to fire such two kinds of beautiful porcelain with colors. ”
"Oh, so amazing?" Zhao Yu suddenly became interested.
If these two kinds of porcelain were fired by craftsmen, he would have sighed with emotion at most. After all, there is a specialization in the art industry, and it is natural for a porcelain craftsman to burn no matter how beautiful the porcelain is.
But Du Jinning, who didn't know how to make porcelain at all, had a whim to let people fire such porcelain, using ore, and his feelings were completely different.
When Du Jinning said it, he seemed to think that he could use his brain to make someone burn such porcelain.
"So, some things are a very wonderful thing, such as gunpowder, which the Taoist priests have created, and it seems that we can change the direction of its use with a little brain." Du Jinning seduced Zhao Yu, intending to subtly change him.
Zhao Yu is not very old, he has not yet reached 30 years this year, and he is still a young man. Compared with the elderly, young people are more active in thinking, more receptive to new things, and enterprising.
When Du Jinning met such an emperor, he naturally had to brainwash him well.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't study chemistry and physics well, there are too many smart people in this world. As long as she provides some ideas, Zhao Yu will take a carrot and hang it in front of her, she believes that someone will be able to make a lot of things that have not been made in ancient times.
Chemistry was developed in the West on the basis of alchemy, and ancient Chinese Taoist priests were able to invent gunpowder when they were alchemy, and they could also invent and develop other things.
Seeing that Zhao Yu seemed to be in deep thought, Du Jinning hurriedly made a silent gesture to Wu Zheng and the others, and several people just stood there quietly waiting for Zhao Yu to wake up.
After a long while, Zhao Yu came back to his senses.
He looked at the porcelain in his hand, and he asked, "Is this your birthday gift for me?" I like it very much. ”
"No, what my sister sent was not porcelain, but the method of firing porcelain and the mouth of the kiln."
This time, Zhao Yu and Wu Zheng were shocked again.
Even if they weren't in business, they knew how profitable it would be to make a kiln that made such fine porcelain. This is much more profitable than the tea leaves on the tea mountain. Du Jinning gave away such a lucrative business for nothing, what did she want?
Zhao Yu thought a little too much at once.
He really couldn't think of what Du Jinning was missing now. has an identity and marries a good husband, whether it is herself or the Qi family, there is no shortage of money - if she lacks money, she will not give him such a lucrative kiln.
He simply asked directly: "What does the imperial sister want?" ”
Is there any sin she still has to atone for? Or intercede for her relatives?
"The courtier's sister wants a hundred percent of this kiln." Du Jinning said.
"One percent share?" Zhao Yu became more and more puzzled.
If you don't give it to him, all this kiln is hers; Now that she has given it to him, she begs him to give her another share, isn't it superfluous?
Du Jinning nodded: "Sister Chen has asked Mr. Lu about them, and there is no fine porcelain in Ribi yet." With tea, you have to go with fine porcelain. I think that the porcelain fired at the mouth of these kilns is not only liked by the Great Song people, but also by foreigners. In other words, the market is huge. ”
To what extent do foreigners like China's fine porcelain, and how many more voyages of the Great Song Dynasty sailed to the sea, Zhao Yu will understand.
They like porcelain, to the point of directly referring to "China" as China.
With such a big business, how dare she keep it in her own hands. She is not short of money, so why should she be in danger because of greed?
The reason why she created these porcelains was that she was only for the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, not to make money.
This money is hot, and she doesn't want it.
