The son crosses every night

You Qianqu wrote back very quickly, because Tanghua's second letter mentioned borrowing money, he didn't go to the post station, and directly sent his servants to deliver the letter and money.

Tanghua got the letter, opened it word by word, You Qianqu was very surprised that he wanted to make porcelain, but he didn't object, instead he sent him 1000 taels of silver along with the letter, telling him not to worry, the money would be returned anytime. Okay, if it's not enough, we can add some more.

You Qianqu was a bit rambling when writing the letter, and used three full pages of paper to write chores.In the end, I told him that I had searched for him, but I hadn't found a suitable porcelain firing master yet, and I might be able to find it if I searched again. "

Tang Hua read the letter, his eyes slowly rolled up, with a smile on his face.After reading the long letter, he bowed his head to Youjia, "Thank you for making a trip, go down and have a rest and drink some tea, and I will reply to Qianqu's letter later."

The middle-aged man hurriedly saluted, "Thank you, young master."

Jiang Pingyuan smiled and came over to greet the servants of the You family, "Please follow me."

The servants of the You family hurriedly followed, and the two went to the side hall to drink tea.

Tang Hua spread out the letter paper, dipped it in ink, and thought about replying to the letter. He thanked You Qianqu first, wrote down his current life, and asked him if he was interested in the porcelain business. If he was interested, the two could partner. He burns porcelain on his side, while You Qianqu sells it on the other side, and the profit is divided in half.

After the letter was finished and dried, Tang Hua read it again and found nothing wrong, so he put the envelope in an envelope.

The servants of the You family left after receiving the letter, and rode back to reply quickly.

Tang Hua looked at the 1000 taels in the box, and called Jiang Pingyuan, "With this money, we can start building porcelain kilns and buy porcelain clay, so we don't have to wait any longer. By the way, is the address of the porcelain kiln ready?"

"I have prepared a total of three addresses for you to decide, and I can barely choose them."

Tang Hua became interested and asked, "Which three are there? Where are they?"

"At your request, they are all near Zhuangzi. Two are near the river and the other is near the lake. There are several mountains nearby. When the porcelain kiln is really built, it will be very convenient to buy firewood."

Tanghuadui is already very familiar with the area, so upon hearing his words, he said, "Let's go there this afternoon and have a look."

The village where their Zhuangzi depended was called Hejia Village. There were about two hundred middle-class families in the village, with five surnames.

Hewu is the largest of these housing estates, and the rest of the housing estates have withered into huts with only a few families.

The Zhuangzi of Prince Gu's Mansion is not far from Hejia Village, and it is divided into east and west sides, and the villagers do not dare to come here on weekdays.

Tang Hua and the others walked along the road until they reached a small hill not far from Hewu Village. Jiang Pingyuan said, "My lord, this is the first site to choose. It's near the mountains and the river. When the time comes to dig It will be extremely convenient to use a ditch to bring water over.”

Tang Hua covered his forehead with his hand, and looked around, "It's really good here, but it's too close to Hejia Village, which is not conducive to keeping secrets. If we succeed, no one will come to watch or even peep. Let's go and see other places. Let's choose the address."

Jiang Pingyuan nodded, "The other location is next to the lake. It's in the upper reaches of the valley. It's also a small hill. There is no shortage of water and flat land near the lake, but there is no ready-made road to get there. At that time, the porcelain clay and porcelain will have to be picked."

Tang Hua often walked around the lake, nodded and said: "This address is not bad, where is the other one?"

"The other one is Pingshan'ao, which is sparsely populated and surrounded by wasteland. It is also easy to dry porcelain there."

Tang Hua walked around with him and said, "Choose the one along the lake. First go to the county to see if the mountain is owned, and buy the mountain, so that someone will use it as an excuse to block us when we get it. After buying the mountain, we will see it." See if there is a master who can build a kiln, if so, ask the master to build the kiln first."

"Yes."

Tang Hua said again: "Buy six or seven clever young people and let them learn from the porcelain-burning master to see if they can teach a few useful people, and then ask people to build some wooden houses by the kiln. People live there, so they can look at our porcelain."

Jiang Pingyuan responded one by one, "Sir, what else do you want to order?"

Tang Hua shook his head, "It's gone for now."

After thinking for a while, Tang Hua said seriously: "We will start this business together. Now it is up to you to do all the big and small things. If our porcelain kiln produces something in the future, no matter how much profit it is, we will share [-]% with you. How about it?"

Jiang Pingyuan smiled and refused: "I'm just a servant, how can I get so many?"

"Not a servant." Tang Hua corrected him, looking at him with clear eyes, "Pingyuan, you can be my arm. We want to do business, and you help me manage the business. If I succeed in the examination and I am lucky enough to be an official, You will come to be my subordinate. If you are determined to take the scientific examination and enter the officialdom in the future, we will watch over each other."

Jiang Pingyuan was dumbfounded. He didn't expect him to say this. After a while, he responded softly, "Okay."

After studying in the evening, Ruan Shijie asked Tang Hua to review by himself. Tang Hua suddenly remembered and asked, "Sir, can you find someone here who can build a porcelain kiln? How to build a porcelain kiln?"

"Huh?" Ruan Shijie looked into his black and white eyes, "Of course, have you started building porcelain kilns?"

"Qianqu lent me 1000 taels of silver. Now that I have enough money, we can start building the kiln." Tang Hua was a little excited, his black and white eyes brightened slightly, "It is said that if everything goes well, we can start firing porcelain next month."

"Have you decided what color porcelain you want to burn?"

"It hasn't been decided yet, I'll tell you when the porcelain firing master comes." Tang Hua said cheerfully, "I'll see if the master's craftsmanship can handle so many colors then."

Ruan Shijie nodded, "Then take your time, tell me if you have any difficulties, and I'll see if I can help you."

"Thank you sir."

Ruan Shijie smiled, and beckoned him to come behind the big desk, "Didn't you say you want to know how to build a porcelain kiln, come here."

Tang Hua hurriedly nodded and moved over. He originally thought that Ruan Shijie would build a porcelain kiln and wanted to teach him, but Ruan Shijie turned on the computer directly and entered the words "how to build a porcelain kiln" in the browser, and a bunch of words popped up in the browser. Information, Ruan Shijie chooses one of the information and clicks in. There are detailed texts explaining the porcelain kilns of various dynasties and generations, and there are also construction methods!

Tang Hua was stunned. He pointed to the computer screen, turned around and asked Ruan Shijie, "Sir, is this all right? Don't need someone to come?!"

"Of course not. If you don't know how to build a porcelain kiln, then even if you read the news, you can't build it directly. If the master you hired can build a kiln, with the addition of these materials, he can build a better kiln. porcelain kiln."

Tang Hua stared at the computer screen, his pupils shrunk, and was deeply shocked. Who among them has any secret recipes, which ones are not hidden, and whether they are passed on to men or not to women. How could they write it directly on it so that everyone can see it?

Ruan Shijie got out of the way, held his shoulders and lightly said, "Sit down and watch. After reading it, think about what kind of building you want to build. Once you've decided, you can copy it down with a pen and paper and bring it back with you. Discuss with the master of the porcelain kiln."

Tang Hua nodded, and moved the mouse almost hungrily, quickly reading lines of text.

He is not proficient in using a computer, so he slides the information onto it from time to time, and is easy to click the mouse, making a series of mistakes.

According to his personality, he would be ashamed and embarrassed if he made a mistake, but at this moment, the expression on his face was so serious that it was almost pious, the light from the screen was reflected in his pupils, and his mouth was slightly pursed, as if his whole body and mind were attracted by the information on the computer.

Tanghua has been learning the knowledge of this era and finds it useful, but this is the first time he feels that these things are so useful!

After carefully reading every word, Tang Hua turned to look at Ruan Shijie, "Sir, can I copy the secret recipe of this egg kiln?"

"Okay, you can copy whatever you want." Ruan Shijie said: "You first copy down the simple design drawings and instructions, and take it back to the master for discussion. Let’s buy detailed books and papers to learn more about it.”

Tang Hua nodded vigorously, and then asked longingly: "Sir, do you have any other more detailed information?"

"Of course there is, but it's not good for you to bring back too detailed information at once. It's easy to make people suspicious."

Tang Hua's little respondent generally just nodded.

It was 58:[-], and there were only ten minutes left. Tang Hua didn't have time to talk, so he quickly took out a pen and paper, and prepared to write down these materials.

He often comes to Ruan Shijie's place, and Ruan Shijie has provided him with a brush, ink, and white paper, so he can use it as soon as he brings it.

Tang Hua started to write in a hurry, and then took white paper to draw, and finally finished writing at [-]:[-]. He blew on the paper full of words, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled brightly at Ruan Shijie Said: "Sir, I took this paper and went back first, and I will come back tomorrow to tell you whether we can build it."

"Go."

Tanghua returned to his room with the paper full of calligraphy and drawings, opened the window, and blew it for a while. After it didn't feel wet to the touch, he sat by the bed and rubbed the paper with his hands.

The more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. At this moment, he couldn't resist opening the door and knocking on Jiang Pingyuan's door, asking in a low voice, "Pingyuan, are you asleep?"

Jiang Pingyuan had already turned on the lamp and fell asleep. Hearing his voice, he hurriedly got up and lit the lamp, "You haven't fallen asleep, my lord, what happened?"

He opened the door with a squeak, and Tang Hua stepped in and shook the paper in his hand, "Good thing, didn't I say that I have the glaze recipe earlier? I just checked and found that I not only have the glaze recipe, but also found this .”

Tang Hua held up the paper in his hand and showed it to Jiang Pingyuan, "This kiln is called an egg kiln. Build it."

Jiang Pingyuan held up the paper in his hand, looked at it for a long time and nodded, and said, "This method is solid. We will discuss it after the kiln builder finds it."

Tanghua thought for a while, "Since there is a way, I don't have to be a master who can build porcelain kilns. See if there are any masters who can build charcoal kilns and brick kilns. If there are, you can call them to come over and learn more. I think the weather here is cold. There are many charcoal burners every year, and they should be able to build charcoal kilns."

Jiang Pingyuan knew everything, and immediately said: "Success, I will find someone tomorrow, son, you should go to bed earlier."

Tang Hua waved his hand and said with high spirits, "I'm going to sleep now."
