Datang Live Room

The second good news is that Li Shimin sent someone to send the money from selling potatoes and the long-term work for Yan Kai to Kuoding County.

Yan Kai now just feels that there are not enough people and not enough money here.

Now there are more people and more money, which is naturally good.

After receiving the money, they immediately asked Zhou Tong and Zheng Zhixun to go to Dengzhou to hire some people to do the work.

Summer is coming soon, and he plans to build a dormitory building.

Now Li Dazui and the others are still crowded in the renovated ruined temple.

There are also weavers, embroiderers and these new senior craftsmen who came later, but they have no place to live.

So Yan Kai thought about it and just built his own dormitory.

Nowadays, conditions are limited. Regardless of whether these craftsmen have families or not, they all build bungalows.

The only difference is that those with family members will have more rooms, while those without family members will have single rooms.

When it comes to eating, now Yan Kai cooks a big pot of rice, and the cooks are Li Dazui and other powerful cooks, so no one has any objection to eating.

The meals we eat every day now were only available during the Chinese New Year in the past.

At first, when the long-term workers heard that they were coming to such a remote place, they were a little nervous.

But after arriving, they knew what true fragrance was.

The monthly salary is high, there are various rewards, food and accommodation are included, there are few rules, and everyone gets along well. This kind of working environment is not very comfortable!

The entire Kuoding County has turned into a large construction site.

But the official who came with the people and money did not leave for the time being.

It’s just that Kuoding County has a unique style. He loves calligraphy and painting, so he wants to stay here for a while.

Yan Kai seriously suspected that he was in love with Li Dazui's... food.

Because every day at meal time, he is always the most active one.

"Who is this person named Dengshan?" Yan Kai asked as he looked at the young man over there who was grabbing chicken legs with Yan Xiaoer.

Huang Rong shook her head: "I have been away from Chang'an for a long time, and I can't recognize all the people around His Majesty. Judging from his age, he must have only become an official in recent years. I really don't know him."

Even Huang Rong didn't know his origin, so Yan Kai could only give up.

Anyway, now the entire Kuoding County has slowly been transformed into a piece of iron barrel managed by him.

Everything that people can see is outside. If there are really things that people can't see, they were made inside Chun Yunan's camp.

As for Huang Rong, as long as Yan Kai didn't do anything too dangerous or earth-shattering, she would turn a blind eye to the weird things he did.

Or just write a vague report. Anyway, Yan Kai has too many things, especially those made by craftsmen. Some of them are not clear to her even after Yan Kai explains them. Being able to report them is already her best effort.

But this young man named Dengshan doesn't look like a spy, because every day he goes to the fields and starts painting with a brush.

Yan Kai has seen his paintings, what should I say...

It's just that Chinese painting is mainly about artistic conception, and Yan Kai's artistic conception may not have been achieved yet.

So if you ask him to say whether the painting is good-looking or not, he can say it is good-looking, but what is so good about it?

He didn't know either.

After lunch, everyone went to work on their own, and Luodian Zhou found Yan Kai.

"Magistrate Xiaoyan, the mother-of-pearl and red sandalwood five-string pipa is ready!"

"Is it finally going to be okay?"

At first, Yan Kai thought that with so many people working on Pipa, it would be enough for everyone to work together for a few months.

Only when I actually started doing it did I realize how troublesome it was.

Yan Kai even secretly found a lot of modern tools such as carving knives and planes to provide to these craftsmen to speed up the progress.

It will take almost a month and a half to be completed.

If a craftsman were to do it, it would probably take more than a year to complete the pipa.

Yan Kai has a lot of things to do now, traveling around the county, but he hasn't come to play pipa in a few days.

After all, some netizens in the live broadcast room are interested in building houses, while others are interested in the painting called Dengshan.

Others are interested in making chain mail.

So it is impossible for him to just focus on making Pipa.

Following Luodian Zhou to his work place, Yan Kai saw the pipa on the table at a glance.

At this time, the mother-of-pearl part has basically been finished.

The back of this pipa is inlaid with patterns of birds, butterflies, flowers and clouds, which is extremely gorgeous and exquisite.

Even the centers of flowers and leaves are filled with red jasper powder.

There are also gold lines drawn on the side, and different shades of amber inlaid in it.

The most exquisite part is the thin tortoiseshell sheet on the dial in the middle of the panel, and is inlaid with an image of a camel carrying a foreigner playing the pipa.

Yan Kai immediately opened the live broadcast room, and then what the netizens said could not be seen.

Because Nanshan Guest has been waiting for this every day, he came in as soon as possible and started to collect rewards like crazy.

His reward information has been floating throughout the live broadcast room.

It made Yan Kai feel a little embarrassed.

In the afternoon live broadcast, Luodian Zhou and two other craftsmen were doing the final refinement on the pipa.

Everyone in the live broadcast room was very happy to see this. If you go to Zhengsangyuan, you will only have two or three months of visiting time in a year, and they are still far apart.

It's like here at Yankai, where you can see details from various angles and magnifications.

Nanshanke naturally bought the best VR equipment to use in VR mode, and he was mesmerized by watching it in the live broadcast room.

After tipping countless carnivals, Nanshanke said:

"Thank you so much to the host. This Pipa is actually intended to be given to my grandma for her 70th birthday. I was worried at first that it would be too late, but now I am finally relieved."

Moreover, the pipa was so exquisite that he was not worried at all about not being able to play it.

Yan Kai heard that Nanshanke was originally going to use it to celebrate his birthday, so he asked directly: "Has the birthday message been written yet?"

After saying this, I realized that this seems not to be very popular in modern times, unlike in the Tang Dynasty, where longevity poems were very popular.

Anyone with some status will write a lot of longevity words.

But the words have already been spoken, and people have always been so supportive of his live broadcast, so Yan Kai said: "If not, how about I find someone to write one for you?"

"That's a good relationship!" Nanshanke certainly agreed.

What Yan Kai has here are all of high quality, and it would be a dream for him to find someone to write them.

Yan Kai wanted to ask Zheng Zhixun to write it at first. After all, among the people he knew, Zheng Zhixun's handwriting was the best.

But Zheng Zhixun happened to go to Dengzhou in the past two days. After the broadcast, his eyes swept over Dengshan who came back on time to watch the meal.

Since this man can paint, and it was said in ancient times that calligraphy and painting are indistinguishable from each other, it should be no problem to ask him to write, right?

Yan Kai walked to Dengshan and saluted: "Master Dengshan, can you help me?"

"Please tell me, Magistrate Yan."

"I wonder if you can help me write a birthday message for my friend?"

Dengshan was stunned. He didn't expect that Yan Kai was looking for him. He smiled and said, "Okay, I know a little bit about calligraphy, so I'll write one for you."

After asking clearly that it was written for a seventy-year-old old lady, Dengshan went directly to the craftsman's place next to him and took out a round fan.

"How about I just write on this?"

Yan Kai asked the craftsmen to make these round fans casually. The weather was getting hotter and folding fans had not become popular here yet, so Yan Kai asked them to make some round fans first.

"Okay, please sir."
