Crossing town house man and wife

When they arrived at the school grounds, most of the reward ceremony had already been carried out, Yan Heng did not leave in the middle, and did not leave the school grounds with Wu Ming and a group of guards until the last reward was distributed.

From the beginning to the end, Yan Heng said the word "start" and the sentence "go on", completely aloof and aloof, but the people at the bottom of this year eat this kind of thing, all of them are sincere and frightened, flattered.

Wu Mingxin slandered, but he could only sigh secretly.

In this era when filling the stomach is the top priority, having food is democracy, and survival is human rights.

Liberty, equality, liberation?Forget it, the stomach is not full yet, who has the time to think about those unknown things!

But because of this, it is actually very easy to gather people to rebel in this year——

Let the people have nothing to eat.

With Wu Ming's current ability, it's really easy to do this, and he doesn't even need to use magic power, as long as he uses the scientific knowledge learned from later generations to forge some natural disasters to achieve his goal.

But even after 2000 years of struggling in the world, Wu Ming still can't do such a thing that harms others and benefits himself.What's more, a rebellion is one thing, and a successful rebellion is another. Throughout the history of China, there is only one real mud-legged emperor, and there has never been a truly successful peasant uprising.

"Ma'am?" Yan Heng just met Yao Zhong, and was about to take advantage of the opportunity to visit the two new workshops of Wu Ming. He never wanted to ask a question but didn't get an answer, so he stopped and turned to look at Wu Ming.

Wu Mingzheng was distracted, and didn't notice that there was an obstacle in front of him suddenly, and the tip of his nose hurt, only to realize that he had bumped into Yan Heng.

Wu Ming stared suspiciously, Yan Heng had no choice but to ask again: "Can you take me to those two workshops?"

Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, then quickly curled his lips and said: "There is nothing wrong with it, but the road is a bit far, so I have to ride a horse."

Although Wu Ming has always claimed that the two workshops are his own private houses, but occupying Yan Heng's territory and using Yan Heng's manpower, how can he really cut off relations with Yan Heng, and besides, he will use Yan Heng's channels and People sell money.

No, it is needed now.

The porcelain workshop is still in the research and development stage, but the glass workshop can already start to make money.

It's the New Year now, as long as you add one or two exquisitely shaped glass utensils to the New Year's goods delivered by the Sheriff's Mansion, it will be the best publicity.The crystal clear, crystal-like glass can definitely blind the eyes of many nobles, making the rich people in the entire Xiangping City start to pay attention to it.

Then, the glass specialty store can follow suit.

With this small calculation in mind, Wu Ming led Yan Heng and his party to the glass workshop first.

The glass workshop and the porcelain workshop are not in the same place, and the treatment is better than there, but the management is also stricter.After receiving Wu Ming's instruction, Yao Zhong even transferred a few honest guards from the guards of the county guard's mansion to watch the gate and guard the courtyard, so as not to be peeped by outsiders or craftsmen to escape privately.

Before the whole society enters industrialized production, glass can’t benefit the people, but the manufacturing process of this thing belongs to that kind of meeting, so it’s not difficult. If some craftsmen have different ideas, they will go out and start a new one after learning it. , then he will make wedding clothes for others.

Wu Ming was no longer interested in testing people's hearts, so he simply put on a villainous face and treated these craftsmen as prisoners.

Of course, those who work honestly will definitely be able to eat and drink well, have a place to live, and have clothes to wear.But if you want to play tricks, hehe, Yan Heng has opened several new mining areas, and there is a shortage of free labor!

But I don't know whether Yao Zhong's management is too good, or the conditions in the workshop are too good. Up to now, no matter whether it is a glass workshop or a porcelain workshop, there has been no case of craftsmen fleeing privately.

Because Wu Ming planned to make a fortune during the Chinese New Year, the glass workshop did not stop working because the New Year was approaching.When Yan Heng and his party arrived at the workshop, three craftsmen and a dozen or so apprentices were busily busy inside.

The three craftsmen are mainly responsible for blowing exquisite and complicated glass ornaments. The work of apprentices is not consistent. Those with good qualifications have already started to blow simple cups, fruit plates and other containers. Let's do it.

In order not to disturb these people's work, Wu Ming didn't let Yan Heng enter the workshop, but only let him watch from a distance through the window, and when he was done watching, he took him directly into the warehouse.

The key to blowing glass depends on the craftsmanship of the craftsman. As long as the craftsmanship is proficient, small objects such as glasses and animal ornaments will be one after a while.But glass can only take the high-end high-quality route now. Those made in the early days for practice, slightly flawed, and unsatisfactory in shape have all been thrown back into the furnace, melted and remade, and can be sent to the warehouse. It is a boutique that cannot be faulted in the slightest.But even so, the accumulated amount is already considerable.

As soon as he opened the storeroom, Yan Heng was stunned by the dazzling array of glassware, and all the guards who came in with him looked straight at him.

Under the sunlight, each piece of crystal clear glassware is shining brightly, even jade is not so beautiful.

Yao Zhong joked with a smile: "Does the lord think that the Dragon King's Crystal Palace is nothing more than this?"

"Perhaps the Crystal Palace really looks like this." Yan Heng didn't deny it, and stepped forward to enjoy them one by one.

"Be careful." Wu Ming reminded, "This thing is weaker than jade."

"Fragile?" Yan Heng asked casually.

"It will break when it falls on the ground." Wu Mingshun introduced Yan Heng.

The craftsmanship of the workshop is still very general. Most of the glass made is green, and there are very few solid colors and colored ones. Wu Ming specially asked people to make some green leaf potted plants, which look like carved out of emeralds. They are both realistic and beautiful. Suitable for placing in winter.

In addition, Wu Ming also asked those young apprentices to make a lot of small spherical and block-shaped glass, and then perforated and eye-catching, and then asked someone to wear them into necklaces and bracelets, preparing for rewards during the New Year.Ever since Aunt Lao told Wu Ming that he would inevitably go out with Yan Heng to meet people during the New Year, Wu Ming had made such preparations to save himself heartache by giving away a pile of gold.

Apart from these two, the rest is the free play of the craftsmen, there are complete sets of cups and saucers, animal-shaped ornaments, and beautiful flower hairpins that women like.

After looking at them one by one, Yan Heng turned to Wu Ming and asked, "Are you going to sell all these things?"

"Send a part first, and then start selling." Wu Ming said solemnly, "How about it, sheriff, do you want to talk about a business with me?"

"You don't want to sell these things to me, do you?" Yan Heng laughed.

"It's too bad to sell it to you. You must lower the price. How can you make money." Wu Ming shook his head, "I will give you a batch for free, but you can't keep it for yourself. You have to give it away. How about it?"

"Let's talk about it when we go back, how about it?" Yan Heng put on a businesslike posture.

"Okay." Wu Ming shrugged and said nothing more.

After watching the glass workshop, Yan Heng took people to the porcelain workshop.

The porcelain workshop is still in the research and development stage, and the craftsmen only made some simple things to practice their hands-the jars of fashion oil for rewarding the three armies were fired here, and work has been closed for the holiday.

Seeing that there was only the doorman in the workshop, Yan Heng went directly to the warehouse, but the things in the warehouse had already been given away by Wu Ming, and those who moved away had already moved away, so there was nothing left to see.

"You don't seem to pay much attention to this place." Yan Heng said to Wu Ming without complaint.

"Porcelain is polarized. Ordinary ones are worthless, and valuable ones are not ordinary. Right now, we can only make ordinary and worthless ones, and it's useless to pay attention to them." Wu Ming briefly introduced the firing principle of porcelain, and then said, "I plan to sell the porcelain here to ordinary people's homes. It doesn't matter if you can't make money. Anyway, there are glass workshops as subsidies."

"I think the white porcelain used yesterday is very good. Why don't you make a few more sets and give them to me as gifts."

"How can you get such a rough thing?" Wu Ming immediately shook his head like a rattle, "Be patient, wait a few more months, there will definitely be something good."

In fact, the biggest problem in the porcelain workshop is that there is no suitable soil. As long as you find kaolin clay suitable for firing porcelain, Wu Ming can do it himself and fire a batch of famous porcelain.

By the way, isn't kaolin clay the Guanyin clay?

Being questioned by Yan Heng, Wu Ming thought of a trivial matter that he had neglected - these days, if people look for kaolin clay, they definitely don't know what it is, but if they look for Guanyin clay... er, well, they still don't know what it is.

There is no Buddhism in this year, and naturally there is no Guanyin.

Wu Ming sighed depressedly.

"What's the matter?" Seeing the change in Wu Ming's expression, Yan Heng asked suspiciously.

"I thought I came up with a trick to burn porcelain, and then I realized that it was just my thought." Wu Ming sighed heavily, "There's nothing to see here, so let's go back. It just so happens that you need your help with the wool."

"Already have samples?" Yan Heng raised his eyebrows and asked.

Not long after Wu Ming asked someone to spin the wool into yarn, Yao Zhong and Luo Daozi disclosed the matter to Yan Heng.But at that time, Yan Heng was busy with more important things, so he didn't have time to pay attention to this, so he only asked Yao Zhong and Luo Daozi to report the progress at any time.

"Samples have been available for a long time, and this thing is not technically difficult." Wu Ming said, "The problem now is that there is no wool."

"Let's see." Yan Heng only heard that the fabric spun from this kind of wool is very thick, and it is warmer than a robe stuffed with cotton wool after wearing it, but the actual effect is still unknown.If he can really keep warm as described in the letter, then he really has to accept Wu Ming's suggestion before and do business with the herdsmen in the north.

When he returned to the barracks, Yan Heng was not in a hurry to eat, and asked someone to take the wool samples that had been made.

The ceremony of rewarding the three armies was completely over now. Luo Daozi heard that Yan Heng wanted to see the samples of wool weaving, so he immediately sent them over in person, asking Yan Heng to taste them.

The so-called samples are actually only two kinds - woolen yarn and woolen fabric, and the rest are clothes and trousers woven with woolen fabric, and cloaks sewn with woolen fabric.

Wool fabric is already thick and heavy, and even in later generations it was mostly used to make coats.With the poor weaving technology of the Qin Dynasty, the fabric woven from wool is even thicker and harder. It is better to call it felt than cloth.

Yan Heng tried on the sweater, wool trousers and woolen cloak respectively, and found that these two things really keep warm, but the weather is not too cold at the moment, so it is difficult to compare which of the two is better than fur.

"Do I need to kill the sheep when I get the wool?" Yan Heng asked.

"No, just use shears to cut the wool from the sheep." Wu Ming said, and then added, "But it's not the shearing season, and the herdsmen in the north don't seem to know how to shear sheep."

Luo Daozi's eyes lit up, and he interrupted and asked, "That is to say, as long as you raise a flock of sheep, you can get wool repeatedly?"

"It depends on the breed. A normal goat doesn't have much hair even if you shave it bald." Wu Ming said.

Yan Heng didn't answer, but he had already made up his mind.

Doing business with herdsmen seems to be imperative, but ordinary herdsmen are not interested in gold and copper coins, so it seems that they can only use Wu Ming's trick to trade with them with an iron stove.

"Write a clear and clear document." Yan Heng instructed Luo Daozi, "Calculate how much wool is needed to weave a set of clothes and pants, how much wool, how many clothes and pants, and how much wool a woman can weave in a day."

"No!" Luo Daozi bowed to accept the order.
