Ten days passed in a blink of an eye. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the joyful event of the completion of the Galen ship, another joyous festival arrived.

It seemed that he couldn't bear to disturb the celebratory atmosphere in Qingzhou, and the heavy snow that lasted for more than ten days also stopped on Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Yes, yes, yes, hang the lantern higher, you bunnies, I won't come back for a few months, will you not listen to the call? Hmph, don't forget, I'm still the housekeeper of this palace. ”

Qian Dafu pinched his waist at the door and reprimanded the family dissatisfiedly.

After the heavy snow closed the road, Qian Dafu returned to Qingzhou, and after a busy year, he naturally wanted to spend the New Year in the palace, after all, this Qi palace was his home for Qian Dafu.

Aster stood beside Qian Dafu, the real housekeeper returned, and she had to give way.

She has a bright heart, her status in Xiao Ming's heart is far inferior to Qian Dafu, and Qian Dafu has always been good to her and Pothos, so he has always respected Qian Dafu from the heart.

As soon as the rich man returned, she immediately became her deputy.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiao Ming slept until late and got up, the temperature during the day was almost minus fifteen or sixteen degrees, he sat in the house, lying in front of the charcoal basin and was not happy to go out.

Thinking that today, which would soon be the eighteenth century, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

In this time and space, the development of science and technology has lagged behind due to years of war and deep-rooted clan of the gate lord clan, but this is not important.

The most important thing is that the Great Yu Kingdom, like the dynasties in modern history, has a problem, arrogance and narcissism, and is extremely demonic of science.

This is the eighteenth century, and if his reasoning is correct, basically all outside East Asia has now become a colony of the West, and now the Great Chongqing State is still in the same internal and external troubles as in the late Ming Dynasty.

If the barbarian invasion is successful, it is impossible to say that the next dynasty will be a dynasty similar to the pill Daqing.

Frowning, Xiao Ming suddenly felt a little powerless at this moment, because he now seemed to have a feeling that everyone was drunk and I was sober.

Now as long as he can analyze the current world situation from a historical perspective, the rest of the people are just living in the dream of the Celestial Empire of the Great Yu Kingdom.

"Your Highness, it's sunny this day, why don't you come out and breathe?" Qian Dafu's voice came.

Xiao Ming said lazily: "It's too cold, this king doesn't want to go out." ”

"How can this be done, Your Highness, there is singing and dancing tonight, don't you want to watch this?" Qian Dafu looked like he had touched Xiao Ming.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming came to his senses, "You can take a look at this, have the aster and pothos prepared?" The king can wait for them to dance. ”

"Your Highness, the two of them went after hanging the lanterns, but Your Highness, although this song and dance is good, you should also think about other interesting things at night, after all, this time Niu Ben and other generals and Pang Changshi will come to cheer His Highness."

Because Pang Yukun and Luo Xin are both from Chang'an, he simply asked the two of them to come to the palace for the New Year, but since he invited the two, he naturally had to bring other people with him.

After all, it can also be lively, and they are all shouting to see the New Year's fireworks.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Ming said: "There are a lot of interesting things, but I'm afraid they won't be able to finish this scene at night." ”

"Oh? What's the play? Qian Dafu asked.

Xiao Ming laughed twice and said, "This is kept secret for the time being, and you will know at night." ”

This time, in addition to the singing and dancing of aster and pothos, Xiao Ming also asked the singers and dancers of the palace to choreograph some dramas, and the reason for doing so was to start the renaissance with the characteristics of the Great Chongqing Kingdom in Qingzhou as soon as possible.

Now that it is lagging behind, it is necessary to catch up from all aspects, and this drama is the beginning of the Renaissance, and it is also the easiest to penetrate into the people, thinking that a drama can contain too much information.

Wrapped in the cloak on his body, Xiao Ming suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "Dafu, do you know blue porcelain?" ”

"Is Your Highness talking about blue enamel porcelain?" Qian Dafu leaned in front of the brazier, and the warm charcoal fire made him comfortable for a while.

Xiao Ming nodded, "It's this kind of porcelain." ”

"Your Highness, this blue porcelain is in the palace, and this blue is called peacock blue, Your Highness asks what this is for?"

"The point is not the blue porcelain, the point is that the clay from which the blue porcelain is fired does you know where it came from." Xiao Ming groaned.

Now Qian Dafu's tungsten ore has not yet landed, but Xiao Ming can't wait for tungsten ore to do other things, after all, the composition of tungsten steel tools is not only tungsten alloy, there is another component in qualified tools is very important, that is, cobalt.

Because in the sintering process, cobalt is the binder of tungsten carbide, and tungsten steel cutters are rarely fired without cobalt.

Now that the tungsten ore has not been found, he can only implement the cobalt first, because relatively speaking, cobalt is easier to find in Dayu country, because the blue porcelain enamel is fired from cobalt earth.

"This old slave heard of it when he was in the palace, and there is this kind of clay in Jingdezhen." Qian Dafu said.

"Jingdezhen?" Xiao Ming nodded, and as he understood, he said: "In this case, after the Chinese New Year, you will go to Li Kaiyuan and ask him to sell some clay from Jingdezhen to make blue porcelain, and when you find tungsten ore, bring these two materials together." ”

Qian Dafu nodded, "It's Your Highness." ”

He didn't ask why, because for him, Xiao Ming's order was just executed.

After talking for a while, Qian Dafu went to Zhang Luo in the palace again, Xiao Ming liked Qian Dafu the most, just did things, and never asked why.

"Tungsten ore, tungsten ore, when will I find you." Looking at Qian Dafu's distant figure, Xiao Ming sighed.

Because of the impatience of waiting, he also asked Chen Qi to forge some high-carbon steel as a tool for a while, but whether it is drilling or cutting, this tool is easy to soften, and even if a job is not completed, the tool will be invalid.

After all, although Qingzhou's steel industry has made progress, the production of qualified high-carbon steel tools still does not meet the requirements.

However, as long as you have tungsten, it is much simpler, after all, adding tungsten and cobalt can get a tool that is much more durable than high-carbon steel.

stayed in the palace all day, and in the evening, Niu Ben, Lu Fei and others arrived one after another.

The palace is also instantly lively, at the beginning of the night, the red lanterns in the palace light up the night sky, and the appearance of lights everywhere is extremely festive.

At this time, Xiao Ming also moved from the dormitory to the main hall.

At this time, there were three rows of low tables on each side of the main hall, and Niu Ben, Lu Fei and others were outside the door.

Seeing Xiao Ming coming, he bowed down one by one to greet the New Year.

"Come in, it's cold outside." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

In the main hall, a charcoal basin is placed at intervals, and the room is warm.
