The day after Nan Zhurong discussed with Changqin, Chonghua was taken by Concubine to the key area in the south, the Handicraft Street, where Xiongtao's ceramics factory was located.
Of course, the first thing that caught my eye was the giant axe!
Use an ax to strike down the wrath of heaven!
Chonghua saw the big ax and was silent for a long time. Ruan Zai introduced to him that the big ax symbolized the benevolence and righteousness of the south. The separation of the ax and the ax handle meant that the people of the south were not a warlike people. The four large rings were It is benevolence, righteousness and morality!
Chonghua felt something, so he asked: "Is there a big enemy near the south?"
Yu Zai's heart suddenly moved, and she thought to herself that this is a good question.
"Yes, there is indeed a powerful enemy. In the south of Shiqianyuan, there is a blood sacrifice tribe. They are targeting Shiqianyuan..."
Yuan Zai briefly talked about the Blood Sacrifice Tribe, and mentioned that these people seemed to be plundering and destroying other tribes. This immediately made Chonghua very angry. He said on the spot that the Central Plains fully supported the snake-baiting operation in the south and that Emperor Zhuanxu must be sacrificed. , completely smash these blood-sacrificing tribes that set back the wheels of history under the iron fist of the people of Shanhai!
Yuzai is also very happy!
Ah Shun, I feel relieved with your words. I will trouble you to hang it on the flagpole when the time comes!
And then, when scenes of copper smelting and molten iron appeared in Chonghua's eyes, the words "steel is eternal" were deeply imprinted in his heart.
Buzz!
Chonghua picked up a copper hammer and struck a dagger. The dagger made a crisp buzzing sound. It was a shaped iron tool.
"This is iron!"
Chonghua felt that something was calling him. It was the call of the times. It was the third set of radio gymnastics dancing irons. He waved it twice, carefully, and then touched the sharp point of the dagger. Chonghua could not be more excited.
One of the things that can really improve productivity is iron!
There are topless craftsmen everywhere here, including carpenters, stonemasons, bonesmiths, coppersmiths, blacksmiths... Of course, the people in the handicraft street are rapidly integrating into the era of large-scale factory openings, and most of the people here have already chosen a certain profession. Factory, and as a resident craftsman in a large factory.
Chonghua came to the ceramics factory and saw Xiongtao who was training a group of new apprentices!
Xiong Tao was shocked when he saw Chonghua and hurriedly greeted him with joy. He was extremely jealous when meeting an old friend. Chonghua picked up the porcelain. Compared with the exquisite objects of the original pottery, the world redefined the profession of pottery. .
"The original change in pottery was glass and porcelain. I pushed the pottery technology to be as thin as an eggshell. However, this technique became useless and hindered the development of pottery..."
Chonghua made a self-examination at this time, and when Yuzai heard that this was not possible, he immediately said: "No, no, no, the craftsmanship of pottery has developed to the point where it is as thin as an eggshell. This laid the foundation for the emergence of porcelain!"
Chonghua: "Why did Azai teach me?"
Yu Zai suddenly thought of an idea and immediately said: "Your eggshell pottery is the best standard to evaluate the skill of a pottery craftsman. I suggest that we can hold some skills competitions in the future, not only in our south, but also in the Central Plains It can also be done, and the good ones will be judged every year, and the good ones can be given grain, oil, and livestock. Like here, we can also give equipment, ironware, ceramics, vinegar, soy sauce, wine and other things as rewards."
Xiong Tao's eyes lit up when he heard this: "That's great, that's great! This will increase everyone's enthusiasm and allow them to delve deeper into their skills!"
Chonghua also thinks this is true!
Look how well Azai said it, he is indeed my fan! Record it quickly! These are the key points of knowledge!
Everyone watched the firing process in the ceramics factory, and Xiong Tao got a good thing for Chonghua.
"Good brother, I know your eyesight is a little bad, so I specially made a good thing for you. When I was studying with Yijun, I discovered the so-called optics. Later we discovered..."
The special thing Xiong Tao gave Chong Hua was glasses.
But these glasses are actually very interesting.
The earliest glasses in the world were invented by an optician named Armato and an Italian named Spina. However, optical glass, or things with similar functions, existed sporadically all over the world a long time ago. record of.
When Yi Jun first started to bake glass, the finished piece of glass that was fired and polished, which was the focusing optical glass that Yu Zai first looked at, was the crudest thing similar to glasses.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was one of the earliest physical glasses. Its owner was the ninth son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, King Guangling Liu Jing. The thing was called a "crystal-embedded gold ring". The spectacle lenses were polished with crystal, but they were not so much glasses as they were glasses. It is better to say that it is a magnifying glass worn on the eyes...
Of course, Xiong Tao couldn't use rough colored glass to make glasses here, so he used Yijun's ideas and techniques, and then polished them with crystals, which was still a traditional craft.
So, Yu Zai saw a dramatic scene. In this era of Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, someone put on a monocle...
"Hey, it's a little clearer..."
Chonghua wore the crystal piece in one eye, and he felt that he could see things much more clearly, but it seemed that he needed to refine it a little more, because his eyes hurt a little when he looked at it.
Xiong Tao said that as long as it works, he will help him polish this thing. It can be regarded as using his own skills to make some contributions to his old brother. Now that you have become a special envoy from the Central Plains, my old brother has nothing to give you. , I’ll give you this thing.
Of course, the finished product must be double-lensed, and the monocle is indeed a capitalist, which is an insult.
The next few days basically lasted until Nan Zhurong left. Chonghua was here to watch the craftsmanship of grinding lenses with Xiongtao. On the day Nan Zhurong left, Chonghua finally wore this first lens among the mountains and seas. Glasses.
Azai, Atao, my eyes have lost their light and are full of darkness.
Yuzai's answer is to wear glasses or turn on the light.
After putting on his glasses, in Chonghua's eyes, the originally slightly blurry world became clear in an instant!
Your pixels are very nice, right?
"It is said that my mother made bronze mirrors, and now there are original glasses made by Fu Qian. This is a treasure that benefits the people all over the world!"
Master Chonghua, who had glasses and saw the world clearly, became a child happily. From the ceramic factory to the car factory, from the weapons factory to the civilian equipment factory and the explosion factory, the factory system in the south allowed Chonghua to see the new world. The rise of an industry model.
After this place ended, there were still many things such as oil mills, mills, and the twenty-four solar terms that he had not understood in detail. Chonghua felt that he had spent half his life marveling at the south, and all new things impacted his past. thinking mode, so he suddenly raised a question to Yu Zai.
"Azai, if I recommend you as the emperor's choice, what do you think..."
