Chapter 116: Year-end Inspection

If a child likes to play with mud, don't blame him, because it's an inheritance of experience that is engraved in the genes of the human race. Playing with clay is the basic ability to make pottery, and kneading the clay into shapes and then roasting it through flame is the source of pottery in the early days of human civilization.

Yun Yao is playing with mud frantically for next year's pickle industry, she is justifiable, because playing with mud is of great use, and Nuwa Niangniang plays with mud.

Naturally, there are also professional potters in making pottery, and knowledge is monopolized in the hands of potters, but Yunyao is a traverser, which can't help her. Ten adobes can be made in a day, first placed in a cool place to dry, and then roasted over a fire.

Soon Yun Yao made more than 100 clay pots, and more than 100 broken clay pots. The broken ones were used as targets for archery practice, and all of them were broken, and the fragments were made into a mosaic pattern by Yun Yao, and the word 'Zhu' was spelled out in the center of the caiyi.

The Chinese and the savages are amazed, but they didn't expect the pieces to be put together to have such a magical effect, they have followed suit, and went home to use small stones, small shells and other fragments to put together mosaic pictures on the wall, which is popular in Caiyi.

"Does this count as my original?" Yun Yao wondered if she had created a new art form.

No, jade puzzles were used in human tombs thousands of years ago, but the number was relatively small and not popular. It should be said that Yun Yao made mosaics popular, because she saw that everyone in the mining was interested, so she pioneered the invention of 'atlas'.

Not everyone has the ability to compose, some people may want to make mosaic puzzles to decorate the walls, but when they come back with the materials, they find that they can't do it, and they don't know how to put the pieces together in front of the blank wall.

At this time, if there is a design drawing, or if there is any reference, they can imitate it.

So Yun Yao burned some example pictures on the bamboo slips for the wild man as a reference. Since everyone is interested, Yun Yao naturally will not be stingy, and spent time and energy to make the 'Twelve Example Diagrams', including flowers, grass, trees, birds, dogs, pigs, clouds, the sun, the moon, horse-drawn carriages, archery, and houses.

Yun Yao first put the bamboo slips together as a complete plane, and then made bamboo slips with hemp rope and leather after carving the pattern, although there are gaps, but it does not affect the pattern.

With these twelve bamboo slips, even savages were able to quickly get their hands on mosaic patterns, and new materials were constantly being developed, not only stones and shells, but also branches and broken leaves, and everything that could be divided into pieces could be used to create.

It can be said that Yun Yao's 'Twelve Illustrations' has a groundbreaking significance, and together with the mosaic puzzles, it greatly develops the intelligence of the Zhou people and their aesthetics. At the same time, it also made everyone realize that in addition to murals, it is also possible to paint on bamboo slips.

So in addition to mosaics, bamboo drawings also became popular.

The working people of the Western Zhou Dynasty should not be underestimated, and they quickly saw through the production method of this kind of diagram after seeing the 'Twelve Example Diagrams'.

In the past, bamboo slips were made into Jane first, and then engraved on them, but the picture slips were obviously carved and painted first and then made into bamboo slips, so the carvings on the pieces of bamboo slips would be connected from end to end.

So this winter, starting from Yunyao's mining, a wave of art blew to the entire Lu country. The twelve examples of Yun Yao spread with Ling Ren and the envoys who investigated Yun Yao's mining estate.

Ling Ren didn't end the ice picking in one batch, there were several batches, and after they came, they were deeply attracted by the mosaic pattern, and after they returned, they tried to make it at their own home.

The envoy who inspected the mining directly took the bamboo slips of the twelve examples, saying that he wanted to bring them back for the whole country to appreciate, so as to highlight the merits of the Zhu family.

It is not arbitrary to run a mining estate, because each mining town will have a lot of public things, and there are standards for whether the mining is good or not, so there is an ordinary inspection every year and a big inspection every three years.

The expedition was not only for Yunyao, but also for the taxi in the caiyi. Because Yun Yao is a nobleman, even if he is not well managed, he is still a nobleman, but the scholar has to take the blame.

Therefore, when the envoy of the investigation came to the mining under the cold wind, Shuzai was the most nervous. Although the Zhu family is very good, he just can't help but worry that he still has some mistakes, if he is caught, he will be deducted at the least, and punished by the monarch at the worst, so he must be cautious.

Yun Yao also took out the canoes, rafts, and empty gourds that crossed the river to dry and accept the inspection of the envoys.

If the gourd is broken, it will be replaced with a new one, and there will be gourd vines in the caiyi, and the big gourd will be Yunyao's, and the small gourd will be distributed to each family to make scoops.

The coachman wiped the carriage clean, and by the way, he fed the horse with the canine man.

Zhangshi is much easier, his job is education, Yun Yao is no problem at all, and there is no crime in Caiyi, but there are many mosaic puzzles that are enough to show that his education is successful.

Wildlings don't need to be examined, so they can go about their business.

Yunyao's grass house was also inspected, because the grass house is also a public facility, a place to receive guests to eat, and the face of Lu Guo, with strict requirements.

The envoy came to Caiyi and conducted a meticulous inspection of Caiyi, and found that it was good: "Lady Zhu is about to inherit the title for three years, but it has already made the Zhu family Caiyi look new, it is really not easy, I see that there are patterns on the walls of every house in your Caiyi, which is very beautiful, I don't know what kind of name this is?" ”

It's not the first time that the envoy has come to the Zhu family, but this year has changed a lot, the Zhu family has swept away the depression, has cheered up, and has played a lot of new tricks.

During the rainy season in summer, Zhu Nu Kemu Yulong's poems spread all over the streets and alleys, and everyone sang them. On top of the autumn archery, Yun Yao showed the wonder skills of the human race, and became the first person in Lu State's archery skills with an absolute advantage, so that the matchmaker couldn't help but want to tell her the right husband. However, it soon spread in the national capital that the conditions for Zhu Nu to choose a husband were very high, that is, she was better than her, which made the matchmakers retreat and felt that Yun Yao was too angry.

"The messenger has won the prize, this is called a puzzle." They don't understand mosaics, so they call it 'puzzles'.

"Puzzles?" This was the first time the messenger had heard of it.

"Actually, it's a mural, but the mural is painted with paint, and the puzzle is made from sparse pieces." Yun Yao said.

"I see." The messenger found it very interesting: "How are the puzzles better than the murals?" ”

"Naturally, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the puzzle cannot be as delicate as the mural, but there are many sources of raw materials for the puzzle, and the bits and pieces that can be found can be made into puzzles, without having to go out of their way to find paint." Yun Yao said: "Our savages have also learned the puzzle, and the winter is just the right thing to cultivate. ”

"Can savages learn?" The master was astonished, because the savage and art were completely incompatible.

"It's not that you will definitely be able to learn, but as long as you spell according to this "Twelve Example Diagrams", you can spell one eight or nine without leaving ten." Yun Yao said. Just because she mentioned it, these twelve diagrams were brought back to the national capital by the master, opening a new art form. 111
