"Well, don't just laugh, you two are potters, you can't even know this, do you? Could it be that the fire kang skill has been satisfied, and I don't plan to contribute to the officials anymore? ”

Hong Tao also laughed a few times, and then his face turned flat again. The rest of the drawings will certainly not be made by the imperial craftsmen who came from the palace, because there are no porcelain craftsmen in it.

And the father and son of the Hu family found by Zhu Bajin are potters, and the fire kang was learned by them, and with this skill, he can already do business with Zhu Bajin, why is it that he doesn't say anything when he needs to contribute.

If they were really this kind of person, Hong Tao didn't mind letting Zhu Bajin find a few reliable potters again, and also taught them the craft of the fire pit. With himself and Zhu Bajin in charge, see who can eat this deal.

"The villain doesn't dare! The villain doesn't dare! The big officials have wronged the villain, Chou'er and I have never seen such a complicated porcelain kiln, I think it is God's gift, so I dare not come out. If the big officials need the help of the villains and the ugly people, they will never give up, and I hope that the big officials will calm their anger......"

The old father of the Hu family, who was laughing with others a second ago, asked Hong Tao to ask this, and Putong knelt on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

This accusation is too damning, so he almost said that his father and son are white-eyed wolves, if he is confirmed, how can he mix in Kaifeng City after he is confirmed, he can't afford to provoke just one Zhu Bajin.

"Don't know? Is it very different from brick kilns and porcelain kilns? Hong Tao touched his chin, there were still few beards, it seemed that the bearded man was basically hopeless, so it was better to simply shave it. And this long hair is also very annoying, and you have to remove it all if you have the chance.

"It looks similar on the outside, but inside there are so many sandwich walls and flues, divided into two floors. Don't hide it from the big officials, not only the villain father and son have never seen it, but I am afraid that no one in the Great Song Dynasty will know this thing. Something that is not promising, you have to make it clear to the big officials! ”

Old man Hu saw that Hong Tao didn't continue to get angry, so he quickly wiped a handful of cold sweat to distinguish it for himself. I was afraid that I felt that a person's explanation was not strong enough, so I slapped my son who also arched his head to the ground and asked him to say something too.

"Certainly, certainly, certainly...... No one, no one ......" The son of the Hu family is almost fifty years old, and he is the same age as Peng, but in front of his father, he is still a nest of virtues who can't fight back and scold. Let Hong Tao be scared again, the words are not good, the stuttering is even worse, and his face is still half a short sentence red.

"Get up and speak...... You don't have to ask what it's for, just ask if you can make it, and if you don't understand something, you can ask me face to face. ”

Hong Tao didn't plan to explain this thing to the Sun family father and son, because it didn't make sense. I'm afraid that no one present can understand it, and even if Shen Kuo comes, it will be in vain.

"There are big officials who can ...... at their own" Hearing Hong Tao's promise, the panic in Old Man Hu's eyes seemed to be gone, replaced by a green light.

That's what the colt said when he first made the kang on fire, presumably this time it's a good thing, if you learn another craft...... Old man Hu can't figure it out in his head, what will the two crafts make his family's life look like?

"You old slippery head, you know how to plan for yourself. Work will start immediately, and the people will go to discuss with Bajin. But this time you may be more disappointed, this thing will not help you make money, but maybe it can get your family a knighthood, weigh it yourself. ”

Hong Tao is not disgusted by people like Hu Er, he is different from Peng Da, one is to go out to make money by handicraft, and the other is to eat imperial grain, and the way of thinking about the problem must be different.

Greed is not wrong, if anyone is selfless, Hong Tao will immediately hide away. As long as you can satisfy their selfishness, these people are your helpers, and you can't be satisfied...... You deserve it, who makes you unsatisfied. How much ability to do a lot of things, people are valuable in self-knowledge.

"Lord ...... Title! Ugly, ugly! Hurry up, the big officials have already left, why don't you hurry up and go to Sunjiazhuang outside the city to call your uncle, and those brothers who have no interest, as long as they can get the bricks, come here. I didn't listen to the big officials, our old Hu family is about to come out. What kind of title do I need for this old bone, you can't stand it if you can't kick out a fart with three feet, but my grandson wants it, is it possible for God to open his eyes...... Ladies and gentlemen, that's what the big officials said, right? Who made me understand the little old man? ”

Hong Tao was already about to walk to the east bank of the lake, and the old man Hu's open mouth was closed, and then he slapped his son's head again. The strength of his hands was really big, and he pulled the stout man down again, rubbed the back of his head and looked at his father aggrievedly, but he didn't understand why he was slapped in the face.

And Old Man Hu is about to enter a state of madness, and after yelling, his son can't calm his heart, and he is entangled with Peng Da and them, so he has to let everyone testify to him, so as not to break his promise.

"The official just lost his word, the title of the imperial court should not be lightly awarded, if it is passed on, it will definitely cause trouble." What is the reaction of the Hu family's father and son, Hong Tao can no longer see, he is holding Lian'er's small book on horseback and drawing blindly.

Inspiration sometimes can't be stopped, just now I remembered a more reliable invention, can't say it's too important, but it's easy to do, it's okay to try.

"I didn't say I was the one to bestow the title...... As long as he really repairs this kiln, the official and I really have to go to the official family, and it is not too much to give a knighthood, even if the two ministers will not object. With this thing, in the future, our Great Song soldiers will not have to be afraid of the war horses of the Khitan and the party people, do you think it should be knighted? ”

Hong Tao didn't expect this, he just said it casually. But since the wasp reminded it, it can't pretend not to hear it, and the explanation has to be explained. It's not about explaining to the wasps, it's about talking to the emperor.

"If you want to be knighted, you should also be an official!" At the critical moment, you will know who your own person is, and Lian'er's mouth is full of warmth.

"What can be so magical, could it be that an official has an immortal law?" The wasp was also said to be blinded, and Lian'er could not care or understand the power of the Liao and Western Xia people, but he knew it. can make their cavalry useless, this Nima is too rebellious!

"Hey, hey, hey, this is the magic weapon of the old fairy of Shitan...... This substance is called coke, and it needs to be made by adding charcoal to this kiln. Once you have coke, you and I will be able to make better steel than 100 steels, and you can cut off those two little needles with a single click. If it is made into a strong crossbow, it can shoot people through a hundred steps, and it can also penetrate the iron armor two hundred steps away, and it can be shot again between breaths, endlessly. You said that if I bring a strong crossbow to each of the soldiers, will the soldiers and horses of the Khitan and the party be of any use? ”

The craftsmen didn't understand the principle, so Hong Tao didn't plan to talk to the wasp, lest he be confused and go to talk to the emperor upside down.

Just talk about the results, and the leaders generally like to listen to the results, but not the process, because they can't understand the process, and everyone is annoyed by what they don't understand.

What the Hu family and his son are going to build is indeed a kiln, but it is not a brick-burning or porcelain-burning kiln, but a coke oven, whose scientific name is Kailuan coke oven and Zhongxing coke oven, commonly known as round furnace.

Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese people gradually understood why the foreigners had muskets, artillery, and iron-hulled warships, because they could make good steel, and these things had to be made with good steel, so we began to make steel mills ourselves. But if you want to make good steel, you can't do without one thing, and that is coke.
