Chapter 438: Successful Firing

The reason why Ying Feiyu was looking for Huang Yuan was to order him to take people to burn a large number of blue and white porcelain.

The sample and the production process have been handed over to him, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it is produced.

As long as the first firing is successful, it will be much easier to do it later!

But the hard part is to find a good artist!

Porcelain can be fired a lot at once, but the paintings on it have to be painted one by one, and if you make a mistake, the whole piece of porcelain will be wasted!

Therefore, the artist must be skilled and experienced!

That's hard!

After thinking about it for a while, Ying Feiyu still decided to publish it in the newspaper and publicize it!

As for the grading of the painter, it will be handed over to Yu Wenxuan.

This guy not only writes well, but also loves painting, and he has also seen the painting Xiao Zhengtai, which is really good!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to set up a porcelain factory, and he also wants to recruit painters?"

The people were holding newspapers, as if they were very surprised.

Those rich children will encourage their children to read more books and write articles, but few people will support their children's painting.

I think it's the most useless thing.

Neither being an official nor making a living, is a pure waste of time!

If someone's son is a painter and his family background is not solid, then he basically doesn't have to think about it, and he can't even say that he is a daughter-in-law!

If the family background handed down by the ancestors is more solid, it is easy to say, for the sake of those old books, maybe there will be girls who are willing to follow!

That's why people are so surprised when they see the newspaper recruiting painters.

"I really didn't expect that the painter would have a bright future!"

"Not really! Don't you see the salaries on it? Even a low-level painter has a salary of 30 gold a month, which is higher than the salary of working in a shipyard! ”

"Hmmm! It's really enviable, fifty gold for intermediate painters, one hundred gold for senior painters, and if you do a good job, you can add more! ”

"If we knew this was the case, let's go learn to paint too!"

"Who's to say it isn't! How do you know that the painter can have today's glory......! ”

After seeing the job posting in the newspaper, the people were really surprised.

Zhu Lao Er, who used to be on the street and helped people draw pictures, was able to open a picture every month, which was not enough to make ends meet, and he usually had to rely on relatives and friends for relief.

Unexpectedly, after reading the recruitment notice, I went to the recruitment location with the mentality of trying it out, and after some testing, I directly won the senior painter, with a monthly salary of 100 gold, and you can also advance!

After the news spread, all kinds of matchmakers went crazy and crowded into his low thatched house.

It's like touching honey in your mouth!

said that he was a late bloomer and talented, and he had long seen that he was not an ordinary person!

Don't look at him over thirty years old, the matchmakers introduced them are all fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls, and there are even the daughters of wealthy businessmen!

Let's not talk about the number of monthly salaries, becoming a senior painter proves that I can often meet the prince in the future.

After a good relationship, isn't it just around the corner to soar in the future?

In Xianyang City, there are many people who have similar experiences to Zhu Laoer.

The painter who was not welcomed before and often suffered from the white eyes of relatives and friends suddenly became a sweetheart.

Even those artists who were not selected began to think about setting up a school to teach children to draw.

From now on, it is estimated that many elders will encourage their children to learn to draw and become painters in the future.

Not to mention how famous you are, as long as you can go to the porcelain workshop and become a painter!

The monthly salary is higher than that of the prefect, and there is no need to do those things that hurt the heavens and reason!

But his wave of operations really confused Yingzheng.

When the newspaper was delivered to Ying Zheng, it was already the morning dynasty and he was having breakfast in Yuxiu Palace.

"This kid actually gave such a high salary, didn't he have money to burn?"

"Brother Zheng, although Fei Yu is young, he has always done things in a disciplined manner, since he paid a high price to hire a painter, he should still have his purpose!"

Lian'er helped Yingzheng Bucai while speaking for her son.

"Well, too! This kid has always been confusing! Let's take the technical school he set up! spent a lot of money, hired a lot of teachers, taught all aspects of knowledge, and specially invited Guiguzi to sit in the town, but the result turned out to be to recruit people to school for free, what is the picture? ”

Ying Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

In his eyes, this is money burned!

"Fei Yu's operation, I can't understand it as a mother, but I guess that Fei Yu must have his reason!"

Lian'er said with a smile.

"Hmmm! Also, this kid never suffers! ”

Ying Zheng nodded, picked up the dishes on the plate, and tasted them carefully.

After two years of getting along, he also tasted it, although this kid sometimes behaves strangely, but he never suffers!

The production process of blue and white porcelain is not simple, pinching embryos, swinging glazes, painting blanks, outlining lines, applying outer glazes, covering glazes, full kilns, firing kilns, opening kilns, cooling, more than a dozen steps, each step can not be wrong.

One wrong step, this batch is equivalent to all of them are wasted!

Fortunately, Ying Feiyu is now wealthy, with five kilns and hundreds of people working at the same time, and the time of each step will be recorded.

A month later, the blue and white porcelain was finally developed.

The craftsmen have also mastered the time and skill of each step!

Huang Yuan took the burned porcelain and came to the other garden with Zhu Laoer and Meng Yi!

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the blue and white porcelain has been burned, please take a look!"

In Huang Yuan's hand was a beautifully made wooden box, which contained a plate of three-headed rich chrysanthemums, a small bowl with blue flowers on a white background, and a small wine glass with a hooked edge.

This is all drawn according to the pattern given by Ying Feiyu.

In addition, there are many patterns, but they are all blue flowers on a white background, which are very clean and elegant!

"Well, yes, this porcelain is smooth and delicate, and the painting is even more exquisite!"

Ying Feiyu took it and observed it carefully for a long time, and nodded approvingly.

"Who drew these?"

The exquisite painting on the porcelain is vivid and full of soul.

It is not at all comparable to the machine operation of later generations!

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, this porcelain plate is painted by Weichen, and the bowl and cup are painted by Zhu Laoer!"

Meng Yi behind Huang Yuan bowed his hand.

"You're from the palace?"

Hearing him call himself a subordinate official, Ying Feiyu asked.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Xia Guan is the painter in the palace!"

"Well, that's good!"

Ying Feiyu nodded with satisfaction.

The painting skills of the two are comparable, but the painters in the palace pay more attention to details, while the folk pay more attention to the soul, and the two have their own strengths, and they can't find fault!

"His Royal Highness the Prince, since it is the first time to fire blue and white porcelain, I don't know if it is qualified, so I didn't let them paint too complicated patterns, and picked a few simple paintings!"

Huang Yuan explained with a smile.

"This batch of porcelain is burned well, and it will be according to this standard in the future!"

"Okay! The minister will go and order the craftsmen to produce in large quantities! ”

Huang Yuan happily left with someone.
