When delivering dinner to Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi got his Zhang blank in advance, and Zhu Wentian cut it specially for him.
There are several jade processing tools now. If you want to cut a stone evenly, the best tool is a scroll saw.
For a bow, jade sand is placed on the bowstring, which is to use powder of the same quality as jade, or stone powder with a higher hardness than jade, take a bowstring saw, and pour water on it while sawing.
Zhu Wentian didn't use it. He used other high-strength powders, such as glass powder, to bond the grinding discs, and then hung a horizontal pulley to turn it into an angle grinder. He also added water, and then the stone was cut with a squeak.
This method of cutting is fast and stable, and does little damage to the stone. It is used to sharpen bloodstone.
If you encounter hard jade, such as a hardness of six or above, and you cannot find diamonds, you can grind it with porcelain powder, which is harder than ordinary jade.
If ordinary porcelain powder is not enough, you can burn it to make dental dioxide and use this powder to grind it.
If you find it troublesome to make carbon dioxide, look for animal teeth, carnivorous ones, and take the enamel, this will work too.
Anyway, all jade processing is not difficult in Zhu Wentian's eyes. What is really difficult is how to design it more beautifully, with a sense of art and beauty.
"Brother, I'll give you a piece of paper. It's scarlet. Does it look frozen? I have one too. It's a little smaller than yours."
Zhu Xi waited for his brother outside Donghua Gate and presented the things to him like treasures, including his own in his hand.
Zhu Biao picked it up and looked at the sunset. It was indeed beautiful, with fine texture and good feel.
He returned the small one to his younger brother and turned to look at the chief: "Chang Zhu, what is the use of this thing?"
Zhu Biao didn't need to think about it. This thing definitely came from Xiaqiu Village. He just didn't understand why the master sent it.
"Sell it to the barbarians for money, and tell them that this thing is used to replenish blood. They are sick because of lack of blood. Wearing this kind of jewelry for a long time can replenish it.
As for the Ming Dynasty, its color is red, which is naturally noble, and its seals and seals are painted with gorgeous clouds. Maybe there is a strange thing, a gathering on the peaks. Intertwined bit by bit, embellished by the Milky Way.
The key is that no one else knows where to find this thing. This was brought from She County last time when inkstones were provided to students for free.
There are just a few pieces. When not polished, the red appearance is not thorough enough. After simple cutting, grinding and polishing, it becomes like this. "
The manager made it very clear that selling money, other fun and other leisure activities have nothing to do with him.
If you want beautiful works of art, Hanhan can make a lot of them. After a while, you can have a luxury store filled with beautiful things.
"She County?" Zhu Biao understood instantly and added: "Last time, the bamboo fungus and white fungus were ready, and they were willing to buy in large quantities and quickly expand the scale.
The news came in the afternoon. We are far away from Shibosi. It was too slow to deliver the news. Every time we went there, we were delayed on the road.
The place is simple, just set it aside wherever you want, make more money, and we will be relaxed. Is this called a trade surplus? "
“It’s not Shexian, and I don’t know why it was transported with the stones from Shexian.
It is produced in Changhua County, Hangzhou Prefecture, where there is a river called Liuxi. Liuxi flows into Zixi, which flows into Dongxi. Dongxi connects to Juxi, and then connects to Huangchi River and immediately turns to Danyang Lake. "
Let’s stop here. No need to go further. Danyang Lake is naturally connected to Shijiu Lake, and then takes the Rouge River and Qinhuai River to reach here.
Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly. He admired the expert for this. After giving you a mine location, he also told you how to transport it and which way to take it.
He didn't know that he was wrong. It was the river channels in Changhua County that the district chief had summarized.
Hanhan draws a little bit a day, and after such a long time, he has already drawn the map of the Ming Dynasty.
Now Hanhan is following the county annals map and continues to add more details in the evening.
In fact, if Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the existing pictures, he would be frightened. Of course, there is no trace of Zhu Wentian's era in it.
Otherwise, why would the chief know so much about the entire Ming Dynasty? He spends time watching for a while every day before going to sleep.
Zhu Biao got serious. Things that no one else had discovered were now in the hands of... the palace. It was a profitable business!
"Which one is better to dig? Wait for me and prepare the wine. I will bring the food back to the Crown Princess first."
Zhu Biao wanted to ask more details, but suddenly he remembered that he came here to bring food, and there were still a large and small children who were not out waiting for food.
He pedaled away, and not long after, he pedaled back again, changed direction first, pedaled out for a while, and then came here and sat down.
The headmaster poured wine for me. It was too hot and liquor was not good for me, especially at night. After drinking, I would feel thirsty in the middle of the night and I would always wake up at night.
So everyone drank cold beer and then ate... skewers.
When the prince went back to deliver things to the princess, the children ran back to the village to get wine. They were eating skewers and drinking beer in the village! Just put it on and ride over.
The leftover food here is then loaded into trucks and sent back to the workers.
In other words, the people in Xiaqiu Village do not eat the same things as the Crown Princess. This is theoretically wrong. Why don't you eat it? Poisoned?
Zhu Biao's mind was not focused on this aspect at all. He first took a sip of cold beer, burped, and then picked up the meat skewers.
Zhu Qing grabbed a few salted edamame beans and peeled them while saying, "Zhu Lichang, please tell my brother."
"Okay!" the village chief responded: "I guess the people there have already dug the stones, but they use them as ordinary stones to build walls, build houses, and pave roads."
"Are there any stone mills?" Zhu Xi said from the side.
"Your Highness King Qin, stone mills are not good. Stone mills are generally made of granite, granite, and basalt. They have high hardness and are not easy to break or fall off.
If you use a stone called chicken blood stone in this village to grind, the grains will all turn red.
It is easy to chisel and grind. It is not as hard as granite. After the chisel is finished, the scraps will fall off when grinding.
There is sand on the grain, and it will take only a few days for the grinding grooves to become flat.
Therefore, a stone mill is a precious thing to a village and is usually placed at the entrance of the village. "
The head of the village told Zhu Xi about the knowledge of grinding. Not all stones can be used for grinding.
"Why is it placed at the entrance of the village?" Zhu Chong and Zhu Biao asked together. If the mill is so precious, aren't they afraid of being stolen at night?
"No one goes to the village to grind the mill. There is a shaft in the middle of the mill, which is held in place. The top part is easy to remove, but the bottom part is difficult to remove.
A pair of grinding machines are facing the grooves. If you just steal the upper part, you have to grind the lower part yourself according to the notch on the upper part.
Since you can hit the one below, you still lack the one above? To steal one from such a distance, how many rocks did you transport? "
The head of the village asked why no one in the village came to grind.
Then he continued: "Putting it at the entrance of the village means that it can be used by the whole village. Otherwise, who can put it at the door of their house?
Hanhan watched the grinding in Xiaqiu Village during the day. Someone wanted to grind something, and Hanhan helped push it.
Then lift the millstone on top so that others can sweep out the broken rice in the groove, which is edible.
In some villages, someone has a mill. If you come to grind something, they won't charge you any money. After grinding, you can leave and they can lift it up and you can sweep out a lot of grain. "
The director will talk about ownership rights, usage rights and the remaining matters of polished tools.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi didn't know about this kind of thing. Which great scholar would tell them this?
