Chapter 161 The Usefulness of Buyers and Sellers
Chao Lang nodded: "Yes, everyone can listen to him."
Su Yunnuan remembered it in her heart. After these craftsmen left, Su Yunnuan went to find Lao Zhao.
The old Zhao head is Zhao Cheng, who was once the Yueqi cavalry captain, who was in charge of the Qi family's light cavalry unit. He has a great official position and is even more brave and good at fighting.
Su Yunnuan mentioned the matter of building a village and establishing a village. Zhao Cheng gave a thumbs up: "This is the best. As the saying goes, no rules can lead to a square."
"Grandpa Zhao, this village chief is here." Su Yunnuan waved her hand at Zhao Cheng and quickly said, "I will ask Grandpa Zhao if I have something to do. You always coordinate various relationships from it. It is better than me, a girl, to do it.
The sky ran around, you said."
If Zhao Cheng refuses, he can't say anything.
The lady is a girl in the 14th and 5th century. Besides, the orphans I took in this trip were all boys, so I had to avoid suspicion. After thinking about it, I said, "I'll go out again and bring some girls back.
ah."
Su Yun smiled and said, "Yes, the girl's baby will be kept by my side by then, and Grandma Zhong and Aunt Dayun will take care of it. If you can't keep it from working, you can still be able to farm and weave it in the future."
Zhao Cheng laughed out loud: "Miss, I think so thoughtful."
I made up my mind that this rule must be established: "Zhao Cheng took on this job, Miss, just rest assured, you can tell me anything."
Su Yun saluted with a rich and humble body: "Thank you, Grandpa Zhao, for your compassion, let's start with burning bricks and making ink."
With Zhaocheng as the village chief, managing these people can save a lot of trouble.
Su Yunnuan asked Zhao Cheng to arrange for people to open the large storage warehouse for grain storage, and all the aged grains were moved out and the dried new grains were put in. This was not a small project, so Zhao Cheng divided the people into two groups.
Chao Lang took his newly acquired apprentice along the valley to find soil suitable for burning porcelain and pottery. As Su Yunnuan said, the people in the Daxia Kingdom did not interact with the outside, so the valley must be
There are raw materials, but it will take some time to find where it is.
Han Fengyu was responsible for inspecting Chenliang. He was surprised that Chenliang was preserved so well. He curiously entered the large grain storage warehouse and wanted to study the structure of the large grain storage warehouse. After all, it was too difficult to store grain for so many years.
.
There is absolutely no problem with making wine from these grains. Even if a lot of grain is sent, the storage here is still amazing.
Wine! A thing to relieve sorrow.
Who doesn’t have to worry about the war? The poor are struggling to live, but even in the war, there are still wealthy people who don’t have to struggle to live. The wine is sold to these people.
Furthermore, after years of famine, people have no food to eat, so who will have surplus grain to make wine? So if you can take out the wine at this time, it is an excellent opportunity to quickly accumulate wealth.
Chao Lang and his men built a brick-burning kiln.
It is much easier to burn bricks than porcelain, and it just so happened that Chao Lang's disciples slowly started to learn crafts from the basics.
The clay made from local materials can be burned bricks, and the bricks fired are used to build wineries. Zhao Cheng brought carpenters and bricklayers to build wineries, and his life is fulfilling.
Han Fengyu teaches his disciples how to deal with grain and wine making koji, and also finds blacksmiths to create tools needed for wine making.
Su Yunnuan didn't have to worry about these things, she just focused on conquering the Shaomo area.
The person who knows how to burn ink is called Li Zheng, but he doesn't know many of them. He went to Qi's army as a teenager and never learned proficiency. Therefore, Su Yunnuan had to help the weakest part.
After checking the information, the large study room in the main house came in handy.
The location of burning ink was set at the foot of the mountain. Li Zheng led his men to the mountain to cut bamboo to make bamboo sheds. After the bamboo shed was built, it was sealed with straw mats and straw paper. The connection between the bamboo shed and the ground was sealed with soil. On the bamboo shed
A cigarette hole is opened every other section, and bricks are used to pave the smoke ducts in the bamboo shed.
After preparing the bamboo shed, Li Zheng led his apprentices into the mountain to select materials, which was a very critical step.
After cutting down the pine wood, drill out the hole at the bottom of the trunk of the pine tree, light the fire at the hole to roast the trunks, so that the rosin in the pine tree can flow out. If this step is not handled well, even if only a little rosin remains, the burned pine will be burned.
The quality of cigarettes will be greatly reduced.
After processing the pine wood, cut it into blocks, put it in a bamboo shed, ignite the fire from the front of the bamboo shed, and it will take several days to burn it. There is no fixed time. You need to check the thickness of the smoke and control the heat.
The pine smoke spreads from the front end of the bamboo shed back until the smoke is so faint that it cannot be seen. All the pine pieces are burned and wait for cooling.
After the temperature in the bamboo shed dropped, Li Zheng took his apprentices into the bamboo shed to scrape pine smoke. The pine smoke at the back end of the bamboo shed is the best quality, called clear smoke, and the middle part is second-class pine smoke, also called mixed smoke, made
What comes out is ordinary ink, which is the mainstream product with affordable prices on the market. The ink of clear smoke is the best. The finest among the finest products is priceless, and it is difficult to find ink in Taiping in the past few years.
Finally, the pine smoke near the entrance of the bamboo shed cannot be used as ink, but can be used for printing.
The scraped pine smoke is different according to the category. The clean smoke is selected by screening method, and fine silk is used to screen out delicate, clean and well-proportioned ink smoke for later use.
Second-class mixed smoke is precipitated by precipitation method. Soak the pine smoke in the pool to precipitate. The materials selected on the upper layer are delicate and symmetrical. This is the best in the second-class ink, and so on.
Ingredients are a variety of different kinds. Ink making is usually a family-born craft, and it is not clear. After Su Yunnuan found the information and Li Zheng's research, she decided to use egg whites and fish skin glue to use local materials and then add various spices.
and medicinal materials, and make fragrant ink and medicinal ink.
Medicine and ink are very magical, and there are rumors that the imperial examination candidates got sick during the exam and recovered from taking medicine and ink.
Su Yunnuan is particularly interested in medicinal ink, so when she matches it, she sorts out various prescriptions and records them into books for continuous verification and improvement in practice.
Su Yunnuan did not participate in the ink making subsequent ink training. She put her mind on the ink making. With ink, she certainly had to have paper.
Especially in the valley, the waste of wood is cut in the corners and branches and forks as firewood, it is too wasteful. In addition, there are cocoons that cannot be used. They are repeated on the bamboo mat by floating floe method many times.
Although there are few silk paper, Su Yunnuan teaches Chen Liang this method to teach more than 20 artificial paper.
The raw materials range from useless discarded silkworm cocoons to bark, hemp and rags. When the paper is made, the whole valley is boiling.
Old Zhao found Su Yunnuan.
"Miss, we have to go out to do business," said Lao Zhao.
Su Yunnuan knew it was OK, and thought for a while and said, "Grandpa Zhao, we have to train some people who are good at spying on military affairs, walk in Dasheng Country as a businessman, and collect more information for Qi Xuan back."
Old Zhao's evaluation of Su Yunnuan was very high, but when he heard this, he was still shocked. He couldn't believe that Su Yunnuan, who had been in Yugu Village all the time, finally came to Su Yunnuan who lived in the valley, had such a thing.
The vision.
I pondered for a moment: "Then wait a little longer, it will take some time."
Su Yunnuan nodded: "Okay, Grandpa Zhao trains the right people. Seeing that the beets are about to mature, I will make some candy. The people who go out will have more business, so that people will not find clues."
