Plane red envelope

Chapter 513 Blue and White Porcelain

After the matter of the train was finalized, Fang Qiang gave Du Lu a new task. He said: "The group of people who study steam engines can't be idle. Let them think carefully about how to apply this thing to sea ships. In fact, the principles are similar, but it is a different application method, let them do it freely, I believe they can succeed!"

"Yes, King Wu!"

Du Lu promised to go to work on his own affairs, and Fang Qiang also left Chuzhou City.

The Wulin Continent is full of waste, and the affairs on the earth are also difficult to solve. He is still worrying about making money, and he doesn't know what to bring back.

After wandering around the market in Jinling City for a long time, it occurred to me that I might as well bring some porcelain back home!
Porcelain is a specialty of China and is not new from ancient times to the present. Fang Qiang only knows one type of porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty - Yuan blue and white!

Blue and white porcelain began in the Tang Dynasty and reached its peak in the Yuan Dynasty. The princes and ministers of the Yuan Dynasty and the Mongolian nobles especially liked this kind of porcelain. However, due to the long history and years of military disasters, there are not many Yuan blue and white porcelains that have been preserved. See, this is exactly Fang Qiang's opportunity!
On earth, a random piece of Yuan blue and white can be sold for a sky-high price. The reason is very simple: rare things are more valuable!
However, in Wulin Continent, this Yuan Qinghua is not so difficult to find. As long as Fang Qiang is willing, he can even produce it in batches!When the time comes, he can directly cash it out by bringing it back to Earth. In this way, the economic problem he faces will be solved!

There are porcelain sellers in Jinling City. Fang Qiang asked a knowledgeable person and found blue and white porcelain.

"Grass... Caomin Li Erniu, I greet His Highness King Wu."

The owner of the porcelain shop paid homage immediately after seeing Fang Qiang. He was so excited that he even trembled when he spoke.

"Please hurry up, old man! I just took a casual look and interrupted your business. I'm sorry, but as compensation, you will be exempted from all taxes this month..."

"His Royal Highness, I...I..."

The owner of the porcelain shop was flattered for a moment, and now he couldn't even speak.

"Okay, okay, I know what you're going to say, but the tax must still be exempted!" After Fang Qiang finished speaking, he pointed to a row of porcelain on the shelf and asked, "Old man, are these blue and white porcelain?" ?”

"Yeah, yeah!" When it comes to these porcelain old people, they are no longer nervous. Three generations of their ancestors have eaten this bowl of rice, and they can be said to be experts among experts.

Fang Qiang was picking among a pile of porcelain. Suddenly, a flagon with a picture of Guiguzi going down the mountain attracted his attention. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with the picture, it was just that he had an impression of this flagon!

Fang Qiang's impression is of course from the earth. The blue and white porcelain jug of Guiguzi Down the Mountain Map can be described as a national treasure among national treasures. I didn't expect to meet it here!
"Old man, where did you get your flagon?"

While speaking, Fang Qiang stretched out his hand and stroked the surface of the jug, looking very fond of it.

The owner of the porcelain shop must be a bit smart to open a shop in Jinling City. Seeing Fang Qiang's love for it, he said: "It's a great honor for His Highness Wu Wang to like you. I will give it to you!"

"I accept the old man's favor, but I can't ask for this jug for nothing, I will pay for it!"

Fang Qiang refused without hesitation. He is the king of Wu, and he must not take advantage of this small advantage, otherwise it will affect his reputation to some extent.Of course, it can't be too extreme, after all, this is the wish of the owner of the porcelain shop.

"This..." The owner of the porcelain shop also realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he stopped talking.

Fang Qiang continued the question just now, he said: "Old man, where did you buy this porcelain?"

"This..." The boss said hesitantly: "His Royal Highness Wu Wang, this porcelain was made by Caomin himself."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Fang Qiang's eyes lit up, "Old man, you are a talent, so can you do it again!"

"Of course, the little old man's family has eaten this bowl of rice for three generations. He can't do anything else in his life, and he can make porcelain!"

"Hahaha..." Fang Qiang laughed loudly after hearing this. He pointed to the flagon of Guiguzi Down the Mountain and said, "Well, you can burn it for me according to the pattern of this flagon, but what about the picture on it?" We have to change it, don’t always use the picture of Guiguzi going down the mountain, that’s boring, you burn Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, Confucius travels around the world, Lao Tzu goes out of Hangu Pass, Lie Zi walks against the wind... Just follow this routine and burn down, Burn 108 sets for me, and I will reward you a lot when the time comes!"

"Okay, no problem!" The boss patted his chest and assured: "His Royal Highness, don't worry, I will definitely burn it beautifully for you!"

The matter of blue and white porcelain was finalized, Fang Qiang was in a good mood, so he asked with a smile: "Old man, how much are these things in total?"

"No money, the most important thing is that you like it!"

"Old man, I'm not kidding you, I just want to ask how much these things cost..."

"This..." The owner of the porcelain shop thought for a while and said, "The cost is just some clay and charcoal, which is not worth much, but the craftsmanship of firing porcelain is priceless!"

"Okay, if what you said makes sense, then I won't ask any more!"

……

Coming out of the porcelain shop, Fang Qiang wandered around the market in Jinling City again, but no matter where he went, there were huge crowds of people. Also lost interest.

I thought to myself, the next time I come to the market, I should do a private visit on Weibo, it’s really too bad for such a mobilizing teacher!
As the sun was setting, Fang Qiang returned to King Wu's mansion, and the old housekeeper Guo Zhong came out to greet him from afar.

"Your Highness, you are back!"

"Well, I'm back!"

Fang Qiang nodded with a smile on his face. The old housekeeper, Guo Zhong, is also an old man in the mansion, and he has always been loyal.

In fact, the old man was originally the chief steward of Guo Zixing's mansion, but Guo Zixing and his two sons died later, Fang Qiang saw that he was honest and honest, so he left him in charge of the mansion, now, Fang Qiang has become the king of Wu, The status of the old man naturally increased, and there was an endless stream of people queuing up to invite him to dinner every day.

Most of these people are merchants in Jinling City. Fang Qiang, the rightful lord, has always been a master, so the old housekeeper became very popular.

Of course, not everyone is qualified to ask Guo Zhong to see him. After all, he is now the chief steward of the palace, and his status is different. Those messy people can't see him whenever they want.

"Uncle Zhong, is there anything special today?"

When Fang Qiang was a general under Guo Zixing, the old man took good care of him, so even if he developed well, he would not put on airs of a prince, and still respectfully call him Uncle Zhong.

"Your Highness, don't worry, everything is fine at home. It's just that Madam is a little unhappy, and I don't know why?"
