Chapter 285: Innocent Girl
In the afternoon, Xu Changqing inspected several ceramic factories located more than 10 miles southeast of Haicheng.
At present, Chu Xue has reached an agreement with the Yang family, including Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei, as well as Zuo Mengmei, Yishui Girl, and Xian'er, and the crispy fish factory has been established rapidly.
Therefore, the production of various ceramic jars has become their top priority at this time.
After all, crispy fish is a military quartermaster, an extremely important military material related to the core lifeline, with Xu Changqing's guidance, it is not difficult to make, but the preservation after it is made is very important!
The little girl's skin is also shrewd and tight.
When she was in the Central Plains, she looked extremely domineering when she asked Xu Changqing for conditions, but she was not stupid.
Even if Xu Changqing trusts her, treats her as a sister, and has an indescribable special affection for her, but she is not an eldest woman, it is definitely impossible to eat alone.
Otherwise, even if Xu Changqing protects her, she will definitely encounter big trouble in the back house in the future, and even the Yang family will be angry.
How could Hatsuyuki make such a low-level mistake?
Having money must be earned by everyone.
Including Li Youwei's Haicheng Restaurant, Wu Sanmei and they all have more or less part.
The production of ceramics is not complicated.
There are three main steps, mud selection, embryo drawing, and firing.
In later generations, the English name of Huaguo was 'China', which means porcelain, and it was very simple to find such talents under the rule of Shandong Zuoxie.
Of course, if you want to make a good job and be comparable to a work of art, you can only go to the official kiln in Jingdezhen to dig people.
As a military material, the clay pot that Xu Changqing needs is obviously not so complicated.
The most important thing to solve now is the issue of proportionality.
How big is the clay pot?
Xu Changqing is also a little big about this.
Later generations are all canned, crispy fish is canned fish to put it bluntly, and a box is basically the capacity of about one meal.
But at this time, there is no such convenient thing, so it must be carefully considered, easy to preserve, large capacity, and easy to transport.
In the end, Xu Changqing chose to go on three fronts.
Extra-large clay pots, standard clay pots, and small clay pots.
The extra-large clay pot is similar to the size of a small water tank, basically with an absolute big belly and a slightly smaller mouth to ensure the maximum capacity.
A standard clay pot is just like a regular wine jar.
The small clay pots are about the same size as the cans of later generations.
Everything is based on practicality.
The main reason is that at this time, Xu Changqing can be regarded as having some family background, and there are a lot of various vehicles and mules and horses, and in terms of transportation, he can already get a certain guarantee.
For example, after standardizing the size of the clay pots, the carpenters can be used to fight, and these wooden shelves can be used as supports, and it is naturally much easier to transport the clay pots.
Today's people don't have as many machines as in later generations, they rely on strength, and there are too many people who have the strength, as long as the silver is in place.
After finishing the ceramic factory, Xu Changqing did not accompany Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei, and Chu Xue to stay here longer, and went to the nearby glass factory not far away.
But the glass factory is certainly not as fast as the ceramic factory.
Craftsmen had to be trained, materials had to be experimented with, including the stove, had to be carefully tuned and modified.
However, Tang Ruowang expressed a strong enthusiasm for this, mainly because Chu Xue generously gave him a share, which was regarded as his patent fee.
"Honorable general, I have to say, you really have a genius idea. Daming has a population of tens of millions, which is the largest market in the world. β
Seeing Xu Changqing coming, Tang Ruowang hurriedly licked and greeted him like a dog.
By this time, he had already begun to assess Xu Changqing's strength more accurately, knowing what potential Xu Changqing had!
Xu Changqing's continuous victories in the military will surely allow Xu Changqing to continue to play triumphant songs!
Tang Ruowang is not stupid, naturally he has to firmly hug Xu Changqing's thick legs.
smiled and joked with Tang Ruowang, Tang Ruowang began to raise his concerns again: "Honorable general, we have no problem developing glass mirrors, and now the basic technical problems have been solved, but ~, we have not applied for a patent." This ......"
Although this guy didn't finish speaking, how could Xu Changqing not understand what he meant?
couldn't help but smile: "Old Tang, you don't have to worry about this!" Anyone who dares to infringe on our patent rights, I don't care where he is, he will be punished with justice! β
ββ¦β¦β
Tang Ruowang was speechless for a while, this young upstart of the Ming Dynasty is really a bit domineering.
In case there is a real conflict with civilized society in the future, then ......
However, this guy quickly adjusted his mentality, and it was not too late to think about the way at that time, and he must have to firmly grasp these wealth in his hands now.
Who can't get along with money?
By the time Xu Changqing finished inspecting the glass factory under the guidance of John Tang, it was already dark.
Xu Changqing smiled and patted Tang Ruowang's shoulder: "Old Tang, do it well." Don't have any psychological pressure, believe me, God and time will tell, how right your choice is at this time! β
Tang Ruowang also laughed: "General, don't worry, I have already regarded this beautiful city as my home." β
β¦β¦
On the way back to the city, Xu Changqing has been thinking about the blind date conference, which is the foundation that directly affects the stability of Haicheng.
To put it bluntly, Haicheng at this time, including Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei, and Chu Xue's industries, including all the people, are all his Xu Changqing's private property.
And those women from Liaodong can be regarded as Xu Changqing's servants, or domestic slaves.
For their affairs, Xu Changqing naturally has to care, and he wants to satisfy them as much as possible.
After more than a year of brainwashing in Liaodong, they have already been dead set on Xu Changqing, and after that, they will also become Xu Changqing's eyes and ears like 'Aunt Chaoyang'!
It's just that this kind of thing definitely takes time, and love at first sight is just in the illusion.
I have to let them choose a few more days, and they understand what they want, and it is not too late for Xu Changqing to come forward.
They have actually saved a little dowry for more than a year, but when they really get married, Xu Changqing will definitely give them some more dowry.
These women must all be wives!
Just when Xu Changqing returned to the door of the official hall and just got off the horse, about to take a shower and eat, a familiar shadow blocked Xu Changqing.
"Huh? Miss Tang? Is there anything you want me to do? β
Looking at Tang Yu in front of him, Xu Changqing showed a gentle smile.
Tang Yu looked at Xu Changqing, who was tall and heroic in front of him, as tall as a mountain, and couldn't help sighing: "Tonight, I invite you to dinner, are you interested?" β
Xu Changqing couldn't help laughing: "Of course." Miss Tang, a big star, invites you to dinner, this is something that many people dream of, and it is an honor for Xiaosheng to be invited by Miss Tang. β
Seeing Xu Changqing's posture in the play, Tang Yu was a little helpless.
To be honest, at this time, even if the knife was handed to her again, Xu Changqing was defenseless against her, and it was impossible for her to attack Xu Changqing again.
This man has already borne the hope of nearly 100,000 people in Haicheng at this time!
There are more than 100,000 people around him, all counting on him to eat.
If she attacks Xu Changqing again, then she will completely become the common enemy of more than 200,000 people, including Xiaomi.
"Let's go."
Tang Yu didn't say anything more, and took the lead in pulling the horse forward.
Xu Changqing pulled his horse and followed, Li Qilang and others hurriedly came over to escort him, Xu Changqing smiled: "It's not early today, Qilang, take the brothers to have a good meal and relax." β
"But the handsome ......"
"No, but!"
"Today, Ben Shuai is giving you a holiday!"
"Yes!"
Seeing that Xu Changqing had issued a military order, Li Qilang and the others could only accept it even if they were helpless.
However, Li Qilang is not stupid, it is impossible for him to really leave Xu Changqing, wait for Xu Changqing to walk for a while, and follow from afar.
Xu Changqing's safety is the first priority of the Shandong Left Concord Model Army!
Tang Yu originally wanted to take Xu Changqing to a small shop she often went to, but after thinking about it for a while, she decided to take Xu Changqing to Haicheng Restaurant.
This stinky man, after all, is a loyal and righteous uncle.
Even if a small shop spends less money, it needs to pay cash, while Haicheng Restaurant can sign a bill despite its high cost.
Tang Yu and her family now have some office expenses, which can be counted as public funds.
came to Haicheng Restaurant and booked a luxury private room, Xu Changqing and Tang Yu sat down respectively.
Seeing Tang Yu get up and pour tea and water for himself personally, the smile on the corner of Xu Changqing's mouth was even worse: "How is it?" Miss Tang, have you been adapting to Haicheng recently? β
Tang Yu poured Xu Changqing a cup of fragrant tea, and then turned around to pour it for himself, but he glanced at Xu Changqing with some anger: "Although Haicheng is not rich at this time, it feels really good." The children dare to come out and play at night, and I have rarely seen this scene before. β
Xu Changqing smiled and tasted the tea slowly: "The city should develop, so that the people are safe and comfortable, it is the top priority!" Haicheng is indeed not rich now, but I believe that in three or five years at most, you will definitely see real big changes! β
Tang Yu looked at Xu Changqing's confident and domineering appearance, bit his red lip, and wanted to refute Xu Changqing, but he didn't know how to refute for a while.
Even if she doesn't want to admit it, she has to admit that what Xu Changqing said is very likely to be reality!
At this time, although many places in Haicheng are construction sites and look messy, the infrastructure is extremely reliable, and efforts have been made to lay a foundation.
Tang Yu can do the job of assassination, and naturally has a certain understanding of the architectural structure, she understands very well that when Haicheng is really built, this will be a beautiful city.
The two chatted for a while, and Tang Yu finally got to the point: "You, your blind date conference, is it reliable?" β
"Huh."
Xu Changqing smiled: "Miss Tang, I don't know if what you said is reliable, how should you understand it?" Do you think this is child's play? β
Tang Yu bit his red lip and looked at Xu Changqing: "Then why don't those people in the Red Lady be treated very well, and almost all of you model army are robbed." Even old men in their forties were robbed. β
Xu Changqing laughed: "Doesn't this prove the success of my model army?" In fact, there are really very few single people in the model army now, and the vast majority of them are well-off. Even if they are single, most of them are widowed. It's more of an auxiliary soldier who goes on a blind date, right? β
Tang Yu nodded helplessly: "I'm talking about the kind of auxiliary soldiers in their forties, why do they still want to rob them?" Is it true that you don't know what shame is? β
Xu Changqing solemnly shook his head and said, "Miss Tang, everyone's values are different, don't impose your childish values on others!" I am an auxiliary soldier of the model army, and sooner or later I will be transferred to a real soldier. Could it be that these good sons who want to go to the battlefield to kill Tartars, can't they be picked and chosen to marry a daughter-in-law? It's human nature to love beauty. The reason why they made this choice is definitely not without purpose! β
"But!"
"But that's not right! Is it true that people can sell their dignity for money? β
The green tendons around Tang Yu's neck were a little swollen.
Looking at this little girl's somewhat anxious appearance, Xu Changqing wanted to laugh for a while.
This girl is really a little naΓ―ve, I really don't know how she got over the years.
After thinking for a while, Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss Tang, you, you are so naΓ―ve, why don't I call you innocent sister in the future?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Tang Yu was about to vomit blood for a while, and just wanted to speak, but Xu Changqing suddenly made a silent gesture to her.
Tang Yu was taken aback, instinctively held his breath, and listened carefully.
