On March 12, it turns sunny and cloudy. It is late.

The housekeeper "Lee Min Ho" reported to me that during this period, the mansion purchased more than 200 pieces of furniture and supplies, more than 100 pieces of fabrics of various colors, more than 100 stones of grain, more than 30 pigs and sheep, more than 300 chickens, ducks and fish, and other miscellaneous items, which cost more than 1,300 guan.

I signed and confirmed after checking, and couldn't help but worry about the current funding situation.

Some time ago, in order to solve this year's military ration problem, Li Luo allocated 400 guan of money to repair the water conservancy irrigation in the township.

I went to the warehouse to calculate and found that after spending these two big sums of money, there were still more than 1,400 chunks of cash left in total!

At most, we will have no money by the end of April. We will definitely pay spring military pay at the end of April, and this alone is a large expenditure of up to 700 stalemates.

However, Li Luo's first two batches of bone porcelain were fired. In his words, it was "a new kiln that was not a tool", and it would be successful after firing several times.

He said that the next furnace of bone porcelain will be fired around March 17th and will be released on the 19th. It happened to be the day before the one-month assessment day of Luoning Camp training.

On March 13th, it turns into light rain.

It rained lightly today, but the training was still going on as usual. After nearly a month of high-intensity training, the local warriors were able to follow orders and have a neat queue. Both physical fitness, endurance, and combat skills have been significantly improved.

There is still a week left to conduct a month of assessment. Because it is related to the promotion of military officers, everyone is working hard to train. I hope to win a position on March 20th.

I could feel the current atmosphere in the entire army was tense.

In a word, the entire team has already looked like an elite force, which shows that the training outline is effective.

I was in charge of the queue training of more than 300 people alone. I have been a little tired recently and my period has been postponed for a few days.

Today, I finally selected more than a dozen "models" who performed well in the training team and asked them to assist me in training, which made me feel much easier.

In the evening, I talked to Li Luo about the second conquest of Japan with the Yuan army. He finally told me that his plan to conquer Japan was not only due to national sentiment, but also for the gold and silver minerals in Japan.

To be precise, for the sake of "Shishenshan".

Haha, this fugitive is indeed for the sake of profit.

March 15th. Sunny and light wind.

I started training the "Police Fox" today. The three little foxes are already strong and are curious about everything. They run around the yard all day.

I plan to spend an hour training on the "Police Fox" every day, hoping that the training will be successful in half a year and will come in handy.

The ten major students in intelligence investigation have made rapid progress and are expected to be used as backbone in a few months.

…………

Li Luo looked at the forty-five bone porcelain bottles lined up and felt a little nervous.

Seventy percent of the porcelain clay of various colors and threety percent of the bone powder. After more than ten processes, it becomes a porcelain blank. It is the first time it is put into the furnace and fired for one day before it becomes a porcelain body.

This batch of porcelain body has been fired and the glaze has been carefully put on. It is almost time to return to the furnace and finally fire it.

It is not too difficult to make a tire from a blank, the most difficult thing is the last step of making a tire from a device.

It has failed twice. Although "the new kiln is not a tool", these five kilns are no longer considered new kilns and cannot fail anymore.

This is a luxury product worth at least 2,000 yuan.

The first two failures are actually called "test".

It takes at least eight days for a batch of bone porcelain from the beginning to the fire. This time, the materials are a trivial matter, mainly because of a pity of time.

“Into the furnace!”

Li Luo finally gave the order.

"yes!"

Five apprentices who had been working for more than half a month skillfully put the porcelain body into the five porcelain kilns in sequence. Each porcelain kiln has no more or less than nine porcelain body.

The best combustion semi-charred firewood and blowers make the temperature in the kiln reach more than 1000 degrees. The entire furnace is full of red and the heat waves are overwhelming.

The moment the kiln door was closed, Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

This time it feels...it's almost done.

The porcelain body needs to be burned for two days before it can be made into a machine. The furnace temperature needs to be adjusted three times in these two days, which is very difficult to master.

Almost every once in a while, Li Luo came to the porcelain institute to supervise the apprentice's fire. The five apprentices did not dare to neglect at all, and kept adding firewood according to Li Luo's regulations.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Cui Xiuning, who had finished the queue training, came to the porcelain courtyard with uneasy confidence.

"Madam!" The five apprentices saluted together.

"How is it?" Cui Xiuning asked directly.

Li Luo pointed to the kiln, "Eight...four hours have been burned. There will be another fourteen or five hours, and this time it is almost the same."

Cui Xiuning breathed a sigh of relief. After this success, she would not have to worry about funds for at least three months.

As for sales, she was not worried at all. Once the bone porcelain was released, it would have an impact on the entire world.

What she was worried about was how much trouble this benefit would cause.

Li Luo renamed bone porcelain "Jade porcelain". First, because bone porcelain has a strong jade texture, and second, the name "Jade porcelain" is of high quality. Third, of course, it is for the confidentiality of the raw materials and formulas.

More than a dozen hours passed so slowly that it was finally till nine o'clock on March 19th. Li Luo and Cui Xiuning were both nervously waiting for the furnace to be turned on.

The five apprentices each guarded a porcelain kiln, and they were all very nervous.

"Open the furnace!" Li Luo ordered.

"yes!"

The five apprentices opened the porcelain kiln together and carefully removed the bone porcelain inside one by one.

As soon as the gray porcelain was steaming out of the oven, it immediately made a fine cracking sound when it encountered the temperature difference between inside and outside. Almost instantly, countless fine lines of spider web-like lines covered the body of the instrument.

However, there is no cracking and shattering!

When Li Luo heard the sound, he knew... it was done!

"It's done!" Li Luo was a little excited and picked up a piece of butter cloth and gently wiped a gray vase.

Where the cloth was wiped, a crystal white surface appeared, with beautiful fine lines on it, like beautiful jade.

Immediately afterwards, there are the beautiful and elegant patterns.

Finally, a beautiful bone porcelain vase was finally presented to everyone.

"It's really... so beautiful... jade porcelain!"

Cui Xiuning looked at the vase with a little obsessed appearance, with her beautiful eyes filled with brilliance.

Li Luo was completely relieved and smiled and said, "Even the medium-grade ones are not counted, but they are qualified ones!"

The porcelain from the five porcelain kilns was taken out in sequence, forty-five pieces of bone porcelain, seventeen pieces were broken, and twenty-eight pieces were qualified.

It's already very good. The pass rate will be higher next time.

"It's a pity that seventeen pieces were broken. How much can these twenty-eight vases be worth?" Cui Xiuning asked.

Li Luo said: "We are making luxury jewelry. Nowadays, such a top-quality Korean celadon is worth more than ten cents of money. I plan to price our 'jade porcelain' for fifty cents!"

Fifty cents are the price of a cow!

But is it true?

True value!

Just look at the noble appearance of this jade, which is as crystal clear as jade.

Goryeo celadon is already very famous, but compared with this bone porcelain, anyone can see the difference is obvious.

Jade porcelain, but it uses jade powder, and you sell it for fifty taels. Is it more?

"If you price this way, twenty-eight pieces will be 1,400 coins!"

"Not bad. You can cook it once this month. From now on, you can produce more than 100 pieces per month."

"That's that I have a fixed income of more than 5,000 guan every month?"

Cui Xiuning was a little dazed. To put it this way, bone porcelain alone can earn 60,000 to 70,000 yuan in a year!

Even the Liu family today does not have that total income per year, right?

Soon, Cui Xiuning noticed that the bottom of each piece of bone porcelain was printed with four words: Li's family in Renzhou.

Cui Xiuning understood that Li Luo was finally going to lead the Li family in Renzhou to take the bait.
Chapter completed!
