Chapter 175 Some Small Objects (Three Watches, Ask for a Monthly Pass, Ask for a Subscription, Ask for Comments~)
In the jade workshop of the Central Shang Administration, Li Chunfeng sat there expressionlessly, looking sadly at the craftsman who made gold wire, using the drawing plate made by Du Che, to pull the gold wire step by step.
Li Jia and Zhao Si were double-eyed...... The four eyes were round, and he looked at Wang Wula Jinsi without blinking...... Is this something that people can do?
Li Jia swallowed his saliva, although his mouth was dry and he wanted to drink water, he couldn't move, and he had to look at it without missing a step...... In the past, it was natural to make gold wire, Wang Wu is the best in Shaofu to make gold wire, and can do two or three millimeters (Tang ruler large ruler 36 cm, small ruler 30 cm, small ruler is used here, 1 millimeter = 0.001 inch = 0.001x3 cm = 0.003 cm = 0.03 mm), but the speed is naturally not fast, and the yield is only five or five open. The gold silk he made was only used on the costumes of His Majesty and the Empress, and Princess Jinyang was so favored that only Yuan Zhengri's formal clothes were allowed to be used exceptionally. Others, do what you should be busy with, don't daydream. So much faster these days...... With the wire drawing plate, at least the craftsmen of Shaofu want to do two or three millimeters, there is no problem!
Excited heart trembling hands, no longer have to worry about Wang Wu's bad eyes, can't make the best gold wire! What, can you take in apprentices? Hehe, can this matter be solved by accepting apprentices? Li Taishi's talent is outstanding, which one doesn't know! can be used as a drawing board, not pressed on the ground by Du Shilang to rub, the friction is the same as fireworks, gorgeous and dazzling! To achieve the ultimate in any skill, not only to have talent, but also to have a stable mentality. Look at Wang Wu, our excited hearts are about to jump out of our throats, but he is like an ancient well, without any waves, as steady as Mount Tai!
What is the spirit of craftsmanship, this is also called!
Wang Wu's hand was very steady, and he found that he had entered a very mysterious state, as if it was not pulling the golden wire by itself, but the golden wire passed smoothly through the small hole by itself, without any condensation, nor any danger of breaking...... Just like when beating gold wire, it is not a certain person holding a small hammer, but the small hammer itself knows where to land.
King Teng said, such as Ding Ding solving the cow, the skill is close to the Tao.
"Whew......" Wang Wu let out a long sigh of relief and sighed, "It's done!" ”
Zhao Si hurriedly walked to Wang Wu's side with a ruler, picked up the gold wire, and carefully compared the scales...... Instantly shortness of breath, stumbling and saying, "No...... No...... Less than ...... Less than a millimeter! ”
Li Jia, who was a step slower, was in a state of downtime in his braincase, and a sentence suddenly popped out of his mind, what King Teng used to say: This is not scientific!
We can do this with gold foil, and the yield is only less than 30%, which ...... This is really unscientific!
ps: On the clothing tent tablet unearthed in the underground palace of Famen Temple, it is clearly recorded that the waist of the embroidered skirt of the Empress Wu, the "embroidered skirt of the Empress Wu" is actually five pieces of gold embroidery offerings, and its gold thread is actually pulled out of gold, only 0.1 mm, and the thinnest point is only 0.06 mm. These gold-embroidered fabrics are all precious crimson luo, with soft silk inside, and then decorated with large flower ornaments embroidered with twisted gold filigree. It is said that more than 3,000 circles of gold leaf are wound around each meter of gold wire, and the thickness of gold leaf is only 2.4 microns, or 0.024 millimeters!
According to research, the thinnest diameter of hand-twisted gold wire in later generations is 0.12 mm.
Du Cheyun smiled lightly: "You can count how many pieces you need." It is too extravagant and wasteful to use jade of this quality, and after returning to the palace, I will find some jade that is more useful. ”
King Teng's heart-wrenching little eyes, a certain can still understand it.
"You've done it!" Li Yuanying walked into the hall of the jade workshop, and saw Du Che and Li Jia standing together, and there was one more Dou Desu, but he didn't pull the golden silk, and asked a little excitedly. "How's it going?"
Dou Desu, who was invited one step in advance, looked at Li Yuanying with extremely complicated eyes, and asked softly, "Lord Wang, are you still planning to sell to Hu Shang?" ”
A certain has been in charge of the Shaofu for many years, and it is not as useful as King Teng's casual toss, what will the craftsmen think of so-and-so, what will the subordinate officials think of so-and-so, what will colleagues think of so-and-so, and what will His Majesty think of so-and-so? Certain...... It's too hard!
King Teng, leave a way to live! According to the generation, I still want to call you a cousin, Queen Taimu is a grandmother of so-and-so.
Li Yuanying looked at the thread hammer in Li Jia's hand, walked quickly in front of him, picked up the thread and looked at it, the color was extremely strong, as if there was no ...... "What's the exact size?" ”
"Less than a millimeter." Li Jia glanced at Dou Desu, saw him bowed slightly, and said respectfully.
If it is twisted with silk, how beautiful will the leno be? Some can't wait to see ...... You can make light yarn first, summer is approaching, and His Majesty's outer gauze is walking!
Li Daozong and Fang Qiao were shocked and asked in unison, "Less than a millimeter!" How time-consuming? ”
"Don't make jewelry, make cups and plates for worship!" Li Daozong didn't wait for Li Jia to answer, he grabbed Li Yuanying's arm and said eagerly. "Uncle Yu, after making it, don't sell it to Hu Shang, sell it to various families, each family is limited to one set, and the price is directly priced!"
I don't believe that they don't pay money! Who is the richest person in the world? It's not the royal family, it's not the meritorious ministers, it's the scholars!
"Building roads, building bridges, and dredging rivers all require a small amount of money!"
Fang Qiao: "......"
After pricing, do you buy or not? For the sake of Qinghe Fang's name, it seems that Qi can only bear the pain and pay money to buy it. To worship the ancestors, we need to respect and be sincere, and death is like life.
"The price comparison can't be too low, this is not gold, not utensils, not offerings, but the skills of Shaofu craftsmen, and the skills are priceless." Seeing Fang Qiao's expression, Du Che saluted Li Yuanying and said. "And the cups and plates woven out will be as thin as cicada wings, light as clouds and mist, like fairy things."
Li Yuanying said with a bright smile: "Du You's words are very good! ”
Ouyang Xun's Teng Wangyou is just famous, so it is convenient to do things, anyway, there are already so many Xige sacrificial wines, and there are more friends, there is no pressure.
"Friends?" Fang Qiao looked at Li Yuanying with some surprise and said. "King Teng, Your Majesty has not issued an edict, it is better to be cautious, and a certain will be sent to Your Majesty."
Du Siyang's skill is not weaker than glass and fireworks, and there should be a knighthood...... I would like to suggest that His Majesty have a good life plan, and the rewards of the relevant personnel of Yunhe Mansion are afraid that they will have to start a new set, otherwise it is easy to have a situation where there is no seal.
"It's just a small thing, it's not worth playing." Du Che said with a calm expression. "The prince is better to call a certain Du Siyang, it sounds more cordial."
If it weren't for King Teng, you wouldn't be a layman, look at a certain Taishi Ling who is still stupid. Hehe, this kind of person can be in a high position, so it can be seen that the execution of the court will definitely collapse.
Li Jia, Zhao Si and Wang Wu: "......"
A few small things, and that's it! What would that big object look like?
Li Daozong looked down at his hands, uh-uh-uh...... You can't make such a small object.
Fang Qiao: "......"
Why can't people of Taoism be as good at talking as people of Buddhism?
