Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 17 Chapter 17
"Those Hu merchants are really hateful! Fortunately, I have always regarded this glazed cup as a treasure!" Li Shimin said angrily, and wanted to throw the glazed cup on his desk to the ground and smash it, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help it. Put it down very cowardly.

Seeing Li Shimin doing this, Zuo Ming couldn't help but frown.

But Wang Gui said just right, "Your Majesty, forgive me, now is not the time to be angry. Since Mr. Zuo has the method of turning colored glazes into sand, let's think about how to maximize the value of these colored glazes. Finally The main thing is that we have to know how much a piece of colored glaze costs, as far as I know, those Hu merchants also spend a lot of money in making colored glaze, otherwise, they wouldn't sell it so expensive."

As he spoke, Wang Gui looked at Zuo Ming as if asking questions.

Zuo Ming is not clear about how to make glass in ancient times, but he also knows that the craftsmanship at that time was quite troublesome, mainly because people at that time did not know how to make alkali, and their high-quality colored glaze generally had to go through dozens of purification processes. It takes more than ten or twenty days to complete a work.But his method is definitely not that troublesome, isn't it just burning a piece of glass?Get some sand and some dolomite, mix it with some alkali according to the ratio, wait for purification and shaping, and then polish it.

As for the production of alkali, it is not difficult. You can get some vitriol to heat and condense some sulfuric acid, and then react with salt to form some sodium sulfate. Then you can get some carbon and limestone to cross-react, and you can get it easily.As long as the future generations are proficient in chemistry, even middle school students can easily do it, let alone Zuo Ming, a college student.

Of course, the most important thing is that these materials are basically things that no one cares about in this period, and they can be obtained without spending much money.

Knowing that his method is absolutely feasible, Zuo Ming stated it at the time. As for whether the mountain cannons on the opposite side can understand, he Zuo Ming doesn't care.He came to beg the emperor because he has no capital now, and when he has the capital, who cares to ask him to help?It's the same as how much alms he has received.

Zuo Ming was right, Li Shimin and Wang Gui had no idea what he was talking about, but the two mountain cannons still had their eyes glowing.Because the materials reported by Zuo Ming are too ordinary, only the green alum is a little difficult to get, but it is not difficult to go anywhere, and it will be over with a small amount of money.

Next, Li Shimin naturally made an order in person, and gave Zuo Ming a workshop and more than 100 craftsmen for him to tinker with.

Li Shimin was kind, but Zuo Ming looked unhappy.Li Shimin's matter made it clear that he was asked to work for free, and he didn't even mention the salary to him. It's no wonder he was willing to do so.

He is different from other Tang people.Others have been very happy to be able to work for the emperor, and there is no way to ask for wages, so there is only Zuo Ming, who thinks differently from everyone else.

Not wanting to suffer, Zuo Ming naturally wanted to desperately reap the benefits. Didn't the emperor give him a workshop, just to make some binoculars for the theater for his own benefit.

The craftsmen assigned by the emperor to Zuo Ming were really good, both in terms of learning ability and execution ability, and they quickly became familiar with many of the previous processes. As for the color matching, shaping and polishing, Zuo Ming had to do it himself.

Especially stereotypes.The imagination of the ancients is really lacking, and there is really no comparison with him, a weird modern person.

In order to satisfy his own bad taste, Zuo Ming did something strange.What pale yellow Pikachu cups, colorful statues of Ultraman and Godzilla, chunky and cute Vajra gourd baby pendants, the most perverted thing is that this guy actually made a statue of One Piece Luffy based on the memory of his previous life , For this reason, I also specially made a miniature straw hat and a big red shirt, which really opened the eyes of all the craftsmen.

Although those people didn't know what it was all about, they just thought it was amazing, and immediately asked Zuo Ming for advice with reverence on their faces.

Zuo Ming's mensao, naturally, is a nonsense, Ultraman for a while, Vajra gourd baby for a while, so happy.It's just that when he talked about Luffy, his expression darkened, and he stopped the excitement of continuing to chat.

He hasn't finished watching One Piece yet, and he doesn't seem to have to watch it. The whole age of navigation, just like his previous life, came to an abrupt end, and he was caught off guard.
Zuo Ming was too lazy to chat anymore, but he worked harder and harder to make Liuli, and what he did was all from his previous life.

There are cars, bungalows, Statue of Liberty, Naruto Uzumaki, Sun Wukong, Tathagata Buddha, Guan Erye, and he even made seven dragon balls.
Rather than saying that Zuo Ming is burning glass, it is better to say that he is burning memories.Because of the hard work, the work is extraordinarily meticulous, especially Sun Wukong, because it is a monster monkey of the dark type, the ferocious expression, combined with the black long hair specially ordered by someone and the fluorescent gemstone that glows red at night. Putting on a special golden armor and iron rod, it's just like alive!
This monstrous monkey was full of murderous aura and majesty, so Li Shimin couldn't put it down at that time, so he took it to the court and placed it on his imperial case that day.

He is also a pretender addict, on the surface he does not introduce the monster monkey to everyone, but before every minister is right, he will touch the black hair of the monster monkey intentionally or unintentionally, showing off, it is obvious Ruojie.

Naturally, Wang Gui knew the inside story, but he was upright, so naturally he would not flatter him, but for the sake of Liuli's future plan, he still stepped forward and asked about the monkey's origin pretending not to know.

Li Shimin was waiting for this moment, and then he spoke out Zuo Ming's rhetoric.What "Nuwa repairs the spirit stone left behind in the sky, the sun, the moon, and the stars connect the mind, transforms into a monkey and shocks the fairy palace, slays demons and eliminates demons, and suppresses all generations!" Auspicious omen.

They said it was auspicious, so Li Shimin was naturally happy. At that time, he laughed and made people carry the monster monkey around the whole Chang'an city, but it was really a show!
In the past, the auspiciousness of the Tang Dynasty, such as unicorns and phoenixes, were nothing but dressed up boars and pheasants.Have the people of Datang ever seen such high-grade handicrafts?I just thought it was a real monkey, and the monkey god came to the world for a while, and the legend of suppressing the Tang Dynasty spread from Chang'an to all directions.

After Zuo Ming heard about this rumor, he just felt very tired. I recalled it, you pretended to be all over the country, how coquettish.

In addition to the monster monkey, Li Shimin also got the seven dragon balls over.Although Zuo Ming has always emphasized that the so-called collection of seven dragon balls can realize a wish is all nonsense, but Li Shimin still took it back to the palace like a treasure, and let people keep it well.

After making this series of masterpieces and setting the tone for the glass workshop, Zuo Ming returned to Anlejuzhong.

During this period of time, he was really uncomfortable facing all the old men. Compared with this, he still enjoyed the life surrounded by beauties more.

During this time, Wang Gui invested some more money in, so the entire Anleju was rebuilt again.At the same time, a large number of painters and craftsmen were also brought together.

This time, due to sufficient funds, the reconstruction of Anleju was obviously more thorough than last time, and the effect was excellent.

After this reconstruction, although the number of guest seats has only reached [-], it is already quite good.

Zuo Ming placed the first batch of binoculars in the VIP room.With the binoculars, the VIP room became hot immediately.Many dignitaries even had to reserve a seat a month in advance, otherwise it would be very difficult to get a seat.

Needless to say, it is worth mentioning that after this period of rehearsal, Wang Siyan's literary play "Chang'an Sunset" was staged, which aroused great repercussions for a while.

Because when the play is staged, the author's name will be famous on the screen, so Wang Siyan's name has become a hot topic in Chang'an city.

Those who have good deeds even gave her the title of "Chang'an's No. [-] Talented Woman".

Although she knew that the title of the number one talented woman was a bit too much, but this did not prevent Wang Siyan from being secretly happy in private.

However, with this great reputation, all kinds of things came one after another. Many sons and brothers came here in admiration and asked Wang Siyan for a marriage.

For these people, Wang Siyan naturally rejected them one by one, but there were too many rejections, but it caused other rumors that Wang Siyan had something to belong to, and that person was very likely to be Zuo Ming, the new big shopkeeper of the Anle Grand Theatre.
For a moment, Zuo Ming was really brought to the forefront.

And that Wang Gui, who didn't know why he was going crazy, actually invited Zuo Ming to eat at home every now and then, and he was always accompanied by Wang Siyan.
From Wang Siyan's gaze, Zuo Ming naturally saw the tenderness, but at the same time he was secretly happy, how could he dare to accept this friendship?He is a modern person, monogamy is deeply rooted, he has already fallen in love with Hu Ke deeply, how can he accept other women?Even Lian'er, he was just a younger sister.

If it wasn't for Hu Ke's refusal to accept Zuo Ming on the grounds of his own background, Zuo Ming would have married her a long time ago, but even if that wasn't the case, the two of them would have already been married.

This is also the reason why Zuo Ming hurried back as soon as he finished the work of the glass workshop.Men, once you taste the ecstasy, it is impossible not to be addicted.

As soon as he had free time, Zuo Ming would pull Hu Ke to court him, even during the daytime, what a beast!Fortunately, all the girls in the courtyard were from here, and when they heard the mesmerizing voice, they just blushed and smiled, and walked away.

Of course, the performance of Wang Siyan's works was not completely without benefits. At least since then, many talented scholars in Beijing and China have also thought about writing scripts.

After all, this is a matter of fame and fortune, as long as it is an individual, there is no one who will not be tempted.

All of a sudden, the whole of Chang'an was full of stories.Sometimes, as the new editor of the theater, Wang Siyan even receives more than 20 submissions in one day.

However, although the work is heavy and there is no wages, Wang Siyan seems to like this kind of life very much. She is either revising the script or reading new manuscripts every day.

And when Anleju became more and more prosperous, from three dramas a week to five dramas a week, many brothels have also embarked on this road of drama.

Especially Jinling, which is far away from the capital, but a prosperous and prosperous town. At the beginning, they staged the famous dramas "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" and "Legend of the White Snake" of Anleju, but as time went on, Over time, they also have their own "masterpieces" of town gardens.

The development situation of the theater spread subtly without Li Shimin's deliberate promotion.And the people of Datang, especially some couples, seem to have acquired the habit of watching dramas when they have time or not.
But just as the art form of drama was being spread, Zuo Ming started another art revival plan!
