Chapter 116 Ceramic Factory

() Li Laosi sounds a little guilty, but he wrote it according to what the young master taught, so he should be right.Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "That's right."

"Okay, who will teach Li Laosi how to write the four characters in his own name?" Zhong Jinwei turned and said to the people below.

When Li Laosi heard it, his heart skipped a beat. Was it wrong?

Yu Changjian's son immediately raised his little hand while his mother was not paying attention.When his mother found out that she wanted to stop it, Zhong Jinwei had already seen it, and asked Yu Changjian's son to write it.

The boy from the Yu family came forward, just enough to reach the bottom corner of the blackboard, erased a little of what Li Lao Si had written, wrote four characters squarely, and then said playfully to Li Lao Si: "Uncle, four characters That's what it says!"

Li Laosi already knew that he had made a mistake, but he didn't know where he was wrong.Now when I see the correct four characters, my face turns red, there is a "coax" on my forehead, I can't hear other voices, I just feel ashamed.

It turns out that the four characters are not four horizontal lines, but I thought that four is four horizontal lines, and five is five horizontal lines. I would lose face in front of so many people, and I don't know what she will think of it.

Zhong Jinwei patted Yu's boy's head and told him to go down first.Looking at Li Lao Si's red face again, he suddenly lost the desire to joke, and said to him seriously: "Li Lao Si, some things are not as simple as I think, so you can't be self-righteous. If you want to be famous in the future, just Listen more, learn more, think more, be humble, understand?"

The same words, spoken from the mouths of people of different status, will have different effects.For example, what Zhong Jinwei said just now, if it was said by his former friend Wei San, maybe he just listened to it and didn't feel much.

But now, Li Laosi suddenly felt that the young master rescued him from the army, let him be his personal entourage, and taught him tirelessly.So, he nodded vigorously: "Young master, I understand. I will never do it again in the future, I must be outstanding!"

Zhong Jinwei didn't expect Li Laosi to be so serious, nodded his head approvingly, then turned to the audience in the yard and said: "Today's incident is a lesson for Li Laosi, but he has gained understanding from it. I hope you can do the same." Learn something from it, as long as everyone is committed to improving, I guarantee that you will all have a chance to make a difference."

Although the crowd in the yard couldn't write, they were all laughing at Li Laosi making a fool of himself, especially the young people.

But now, after hearing what Zhong Jinwei said, he stopped talking, and put away his thoughts of belittling the joke Li Laosi.Everyone wants to get ahead, and no one wants to live in a refugee camp.

Zhong Jinwei looked at the thoughtful looks of the crowd below, and said to Haining, "Uncle Yu, please teach them well in the future, so that they can at least be able to read and write."

Yu Haining nodded earnestly: "Master, although the old man can't teach them to recite poems and be right, he will definitely teach them to read and write."

After listening to Yu Haining's assurance, Zhong Jinwei turned around and asked Li Lao Si to go down. He couldn't let a big man stand here at the blackboard all the time.

Li Laosi saluted respectfully, and then walked down, trying to take a sneak peek at the woman in his heart as he walked, wanting to see how she looked at him, but he didn't see it.

Zhong Jinwei watched Li Lao Si go down, thought for a while, and then explained to Yu Haining: "After Uncle Yu taught them to recognize common characters, please tell me. I will compile some teaching materials and teach them some useful things. "

Young master can write a book?Seeing Zhong Jinwei's young appearance, Yu Haining was a little unbelievable, but he didn't ask, and he would naturally know when the time came.

The next step is to worship heaven and earth, eat New Year's Eve dinner, and give out red envelopes. Everyone is happy and lively.

There were also some people who secretly hid and cried. The fate of Chongzhen in the second year was really ups and downs, and they experienced all the joys and sorrows.

It was only after losing his family that he realized how much his family cherished. Seeing that Zhong Xingbo didn't have the slightest condescending attitude towards these servants, he treated them as if they were his own family.We must cherish this home. Many people quietly made this oath on the last day of the second year of Chongzhen. <Start of section.New Year's greetings to each other, endless firecrackers, calling friends, drinking and chatting are the main themes that follow.

But this year is different, Jianlu is still lingering in the capital; the army outside the city gathers for training; civil and military officials go to the government office early in the morning; the sound of firecrackers is not heard, and everything in the capital seems so ordinary.

Zhongxing Earl's Mansion became deserted on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Seven or eight young people were taken to the East Factory for training. Zhong Jinwei took six Dongchang guards and went to the Forbidden City with the middle officials who came to pass the decree that morning.

Emperor Chongzhen obviously cared about cement, so he called Zhong Jinwei early.After a brief exchange of pleasantries between the monarch and his subjects, they began to get down to business.

Originally, he wanted the Beijing camp to send troops to keep secrets, but now Emperor Chongzhen already knew that the Beijing camp was unreliable.Let Dongchang and Jinyiwei each assign some people to do the confidentiality work, so that mutual supervision is more reassuring.

Emperor Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen to send a reliable eunuch to assist Zhong Jinwei in his affairs. Wang Chengen naturally sent his proud godson, An Guiyi who Zhong Jinwei was familiar with, so that he could be promoted with some credit.

Dongchang's fan service is led by a stall head surnamed Qian, and Jin Yiwei is led by a hundred households surnamed Ma.Together with Zhong Jinwei, they went to the official ceramics factory in the capital.

It was almost noon when they arrived at the ceramic factory.Unexpectedly, not only the head of the Ministry of Industry in charge of the ceramics factory was not there, but also not many officials under the head of the Ministry of Industry were present.

Zhong Jinwei shook his head. It is impossible for these people to ask for leave because they are obviously not doing their duty.

The few officials present saw that there was such a big ostentation on the first day of the new year, and they knew that there was something important to do.On the one hand, he quickly sent people to find other people, and on the other hand, he waited and circled around Zhong Jinwei.

Zhong Jinwei didn't talk nonsense, and directly asked them to find a craftsman to understand the situation.

Unexpectedly, the result surprised him again. In such a large ceramics factory, there are about [-] craftsmen, and most of them are elderly.

The officials on one side explained that the ceramics factory was not doing well, that the factory was going to close down, and that many artisans who could escape escaped, and that was all that remained.Now the porcelain in the imperial palace is provided by Jingdezhen, and here it is basically just soy sauce.

Zhong Jinwei knew that many craftsmen fled in the late Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect the same situation in the capital.This situation cannot be corrected in a short while, and Zhong Jinwei didn't care about it, so he had to burn the cement first.

Under the guidance of the craftsman, a kiln with the highest temperature was selected.Zhong Jinwei visited the kiln and found that the kiln was divided into two parts. The firewood was placed in the lower combustion chamber, and the fired fire touched the closed circular kiln roof and rolled back down, and then heated the upper floor of the finished product chamber. It is said that it can forge clean and good porcelain in this way, which is commonly known as "down-flame furnace".

Zhong Jinwei didn't know how high the temperature of the downflame furnace could reach, so he tried it first.

Zhong Jinwei first said to them: "I want to make something, as long as I can make it, all the people involved will be rewarded, um..."

Zhong Jinwei doesn't know the market, so it is more appropriate not to know how much to reward.Seeing these craftsmen shivering in the cold wind in tattered clothes, he had an idea and said: "Everyone has enough to eat and warm clothes." After finishing speaking, Zhong Jinwei secretly wondered whether his conditions were too low .

A craftsman who was probably in his 50s or [-]s, who seemed to be a leader, dared to ask Zhong Jinwei, "My lord, are you serious? We eat a lot."

It is common sense to make people work and always have a full stomach.Wasn't the craftsman joking when he said this?Zhong Jinwei looked at his expression, but it didn't look like him.I suddenly understood in my heart that it must be that they were not full enough to eat and not warm enough to wear before, not what I just thought that they might not be full when they were not working.

Thinking of this, Zhong Jinwei nodded and said, "Of course, if you have any other requirements, feel free to ask, and I will satisfy all that I can. However, as long as you participate in this job, you can't go out casually. It must be kept secret. If you want to participate, Just raise your hand."

The result was beyond Zhong Jinwei's expectation, there were more than 20 people, and only one person raised his hand.
