Dong Chuan really spent a lot of money. Not only did he ask Dong Ping to find him two naval instructors who knew how to fight in water, but he also spent a lot of money to buy warships, preparing to completely kill the Nanhu water bandits.
After spending such a high price, Dong Chuan no longer simply wanted to get rid of the water bandits, but controlling Nanhu was his real purpose.
Originally, Dong Chuan thought that after arriving in Qingyang County, he would be able to make money easily by virtue of his status as the commander of Qingyang Camp.
Unexpectedly, Qingyang County has become Yun Chao's territory. Unless there is a war with him, there will be no place to make money.
The only exception is Nanhu Town, which is not within the scope of Yunchao's actual control.
Therefore, Dong Chuan set his sights on Nanhu Town and prepared to kill the rabbits. While annihilating the Nanhu water bandits, he also conveniently took Nanhu Town into his pocket!
Yun Chao knew Dong Chuan's every move and had already guessed his true intentions.
However, Yun Chao had no intention of stopping him at all, and even slowed down his actions to eliminate Dong Chuan's direct lineage, just to allow him to train Qingyang Camp's water warfare with peace of mind.
…
"Brother Chao, we found the porcelain craftsman."
After actually controlling the territory of Qingyang County, Yun Chao began to make troubles.
I heard that there were porcelain kilns in Jingyanggang area, so I sent people to find the porcelain craftsmen.
Four people, father and son, came here, surnamed Yao.
A father in his fifties with three sons.
Even though Yun Chao was just a small county captain, to several porcelain workers, he was already the largest official they had ever seen.
Yun Chao waved his hand: "Don't be nervous, sit down and talk."
How could the Yao family dare to sit down in front of Yun Chao? Yun Chao was polite, which made them more nervous.
This man is an expert at stopping children from crying at night. The patrols in their town were scared away, and even Muramasa was arrested and paraded through the streets. It was not a piece of cake to deal with these porcelain-burning guys!
Seeing the frightened expressions of Yao and his son, Yun Chao started to move his feet again, wanting to kick Zhang Sihai's butt hard.
What is that guy Zhang Sihai doing? If his propaganda team does a good job of publicity, the people should love him instead of be afraid of him.
Well, if Zhang Sihai knew that Yun Chao wanted to kick him, he would definitely scream that he was wronged.
Qingyang County has such a large territory and has recently taken control of so many towns and villages. How can a small propaganda team do this?
Yun Chao looked at the porcelain workers: "Can you make glass?"
"Glass?" Yao and his son looked at each other.
Yun Chao frowned: "Some people also call it Liuli."
In fact, the colored glaze mentioned by the ancient Chinese is not the same thing as the glass of later generations. The raw materials are different.
Glass generally uses a variety of inorganic minerals, such as quartz sand, borax, boric acid, barite, barium carbonate, limestone, feldspar, soda ash, etc. as the main raw materials.
The main components of colored glaze are silica, alumina and silicon, and are made of lead oxide as a cosolvent.
The glass Yun Chao wants to burn is the transparent glass of later generations, not the colorful colored glaze that the ancient Chinese people burned.
"Oh, I've heard of it. It's a high-end product, and a villain can't do it."
Yun Chao was a little helpless. He originally wanted to find a few craftsmen who could make colored glaze, but unfortunately there were none in Qingyang County, so he could only find a few craftsmen who could make porcelain and think about it slowly.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know. I can teach you."
"ah?"
Yao and his son couldn't believe their ears: "Sir, do you know how to burn colored glaze?"
According to the understanding of Yao and his son, making colored glaze is a high-level skill, and colored glaze products are quite expensive. No one in Dongping Prefecture, let alone Qingyang County, knows how to make them!
Yun Chao nodded: "I know a little bit, but not much. I only know the general recipe. You have to figure out how to do it on your own."
"Sir... Your Majesty, the little one is stupid and stupid. He will definitely not be able to learn it, let alone figure it out. Please spare us!"
After saying that, Lao Yaotou lay down on the ground and began to kowtow, and even pulled his three sons to kowtow together.
This time, Yun Chao was immediately stunned.
Seeing the unlucky behavior of these guys who were so frightened, those who didn't know it thought they were going to molest them!
"Everyone, get up!"
After dealing with the common people for so long, Yun Chao has also concluded a rule: sometimes you can't be too polite, otherwise they will think you are going to do something to them.
Sure enough, as soon as Yun Chao scolded him, the Yao family and his son immediately became honest.
"Tell me, why are you so scared?"
Yun Chao glared, and Old Yao started to sweat.
"Sir, please let my eldest son and youngest son go back, while my second son and I stay here to burn glass for you, okay? Please!"
With that said, Old Man Yao kowtowed again.
"Get out of here!"
This time Yun Chao was really angry: "What are you afraid of? Tell me!"
Old Man Yao was so frightened that he didn't dare to hide it at all: "Sir, there are only a few men in our Yao family. If you kill us, our Yao family will be extinct..."
After listening to Old Man Yao's cry, Yun Chao couldn't even laugh or cry.
The old guy didn't know where he heard the story, saying that if he did work for the government that needed to be kept secret, he would eventually be silenced.
In Old Yaotou's opinion, the technique of burning colored glaze is Yun Chao's advanced secret skill. Once he learns it, he will either be imprisoned for the rest of his life or silenced!
Yun Chao touched his nose. Old Yaotou was not worried too much. Secrecy was indeed a problem.
Although Yun Chao won't kill people and silence them, he won't let him walk around casually after learning.
"Old Yao, you can rest assured that you will kill someone and silence them. I can guarantee that as long as you don't reveal the method of burning glass, your personal safety will be absolutely guaranteed."
After a pause, Yun Chao continued: "As for freedom, there must be certain restrictions, but I can guarantee that you will not be locked up like prisoners, and you can move freely within a certain range. If you really need it, When you travel far away, I will send someone to protect you..."
Yun Chao patiently explained to Yao and his son for a while that glass-making was a technical job and they needed to explore it on their own. If they were resistant, they might get half the result with half the effort, or even achieve nothing.
After hearing Yun Chao's explanation, although Yao and his son were still worried, they were no longer as scared as before.
Lieutenant Yun County, who was described by some as a murderous demon, didn't seem that scary and was quite gentle to himself.
Well, the Yaos and his sons are comforting themselves, otherwise what else could they do?
Now that he and his son have been found guilty, there is no way to dodge it. If you don't want to do it, you have to do it!
Little people have their own wisdom, and there are not many real fools. Since they can't resist, they can only deceive themselves and enjoy it!
Of course, the fact that Yao and his son were so obedient had something to do with the conditions Yun Chao had given them, and it had a lot to do with it.
The skills of porcelain craftsmen seem to be scarcer than that of carpenters and bricklayers, and their status is better than them. However, they still belong to the bottom of the contempt chain of the Dawu Dynasty.
Not counting the smoke and fire all day long, he also had to be exploited at all levels by the government. The money that really fell into his hands was just for food and clothing, and there was almost nothing left.
Yun Chao's monthly salary of three taels of silver was too attractive to them.
What's more, Yun Chao also promised that once they figured out the method of firing colored glaze, he would increase their wages!
