Spring and Autumn I Am King

Thank you book friends for the paradise of sin, drinking green tea when you are sleepy, Lingxi-kun, cat demon? 's reward!

I also thank you for your suggestions. Some plots will be avoided after July. The military law in the previous chapter has been revised. Each article is divided into three different levels of severity: the light ones are fined with millet, and the armor is fined. Those who are beheaded shall be punished by the right judge authorized by the gentleman.

…

The status of Lushe was also enhanced by Wuxi, and it was renamed "Ting". The pavilion was set up with pavilion chiefs, thieves, and pavilion soldiers, who were responsible for road inspections and public security. In the surrounding pavilions and in the townships, the identities of pedestrians must be strictly checked. If there is an outsider and Tingchang and Lixu fail to interrogate and stop them in time, they will all be convicted.

If you intercept strangers from other places, you must first send them to the village temple and ask them who sent them. Those who claim to be visiting relatives and friends should first arrange for them to live in the village temple or pavilion. If they want to meet their brothers and friends, they should call for them, and they should not be allowed to enter the villages and alleys on their own and wander around.

There are also several dogs raised at several entrances of the township gate. Among them, the tallest and most majestic one is the Zhongshan Di dog kept by Xiao Tong Ao. It was dark all over, like a shadow in the night, except for a crescent-shaped white pattern under its neck. This dog is fierce to outsiders, but when he sees Wu Xie and Wei, he looks like a coquettish pet, and both of them like to tease him.

Although Jing was forgiven by Zhao Wuxi, his experience seemed to have stained him, and he buried his head in hard work like Cheng Nai every day. Although Yu Xi, Mucha, and several two Sima who were friendly to him still treated him as before, but some others distanced themselves from him, and from time to time they would look at him with contempt.

As for Tian Ben, at first, because of his seniority and ability, even the two Sima who were in charge of managing him had to give him some points. However, since the promulgation of the military law, he has suddenly become a lot more honest, but no one dares to treat him as an ordinary soldier.

After a few days of reinforcing the walls and carrying the fertile fields, the two were called together by Dou Pengzu, the township chief, and said they were going to follow the crowd to a mountain more than ten miles away.

"Stone quarrying? Dou... Township Situ, what are you doing?" In the past, Tian Ben had no one in his eyes and dared to slap Dou Pengzu on the shoulder. .

Dou Pengzu knew that this person was a gentleman's favorite general. Although he was temporarily punished, he could not be allowed to rise again in the future, and he did not dare to take it seriously. Instead, he explained the reasons in detail.

It turned out that with the completion of the planting of Xia Su and the people of the country resting for a few days, the pottery kiln, which Zhao Wuxi had been thinking about for a long time, started work again.

The last firing failed because the kiln temperature was not high enough. This time, when he personally inspected the craftsman's workshop, he saw that the potters first fired ordinary firewood into charcoal, and put them into the kiln one by one. Still can't make no-shirts satisfied.

Moreover, using charcoal to burn is not a long-term method, because Chengxiang has many mountains and thin soil, and the forests are not lush. The trees have the effect of consolidating the soil and protecting the land. On weekdays, the villagers picked them up to make fire and cook, and they were barely enough. If a large number of trees were cut down to make ceramics, not only Zhao Wuxi knew the consequences after a mountain of trees were gone. Even Ji Qiao, Wang Sunqi and others are very clear, and they have given advice several times.

People in the pre-Qin era have paid enough attention to the protection of forest trees, especially the Jin state, which has experienced the deterioration of the surrounding environment of the capital, the old river, and had to move the capital to Xintian.

"Book of Weeks" stipulates that "in the third month of spring, the mountains and forests do not climb the axes, so that the vegetation grows", and it has begun to advocate rational felling and rational utilization, which does not violate the weather. "Falling down a mountain", that is, cutting down a mountain of trees, is considered to be something that the lord of a city should never do.

What's more, recalling the bad consequences and tragic phenomenon of soil erosion in his hometown of Gansu and Shaanxi in later generations, Zhao Wuxi also had lingering fears, and purchasing wood and charcoal from distant places such as Huoshan and Luliang would increase the cost of porcelain.

Besides, the state of Jin is located in Shanxi, and it is sitting on a big treasure house, but no one has noticed it yet.

So Zhao Wuxi called Ji Qiao, Dou Pengzu and the local elders to inquire, and learned that the kind of thing he wanted was indeed available in the nearby mountains!

Or Sang Yangweng provided a clue: "A mountain that has become a village has a little red copper in its yang, but it is buried deep in the soil and cannot be excavated. Its yin is full of stones, and the whole body is dark. If you burn it with grass, it will smoke. Tenghuofa, as the gentleman said, seems to be similar to coal that burns immediately."

Zhao Wuxi's eyes lit up when he heard it. What Sang Yangweng said should be the coal seam exposed on the surface.

"Is that place far?"

"It's not far, you only need to walk the mountain road for three hours, and you can go back and forth one day and one night."

Zhao Wuxi also remembered that when he came to Chengxiang, he did see a dark mountain in the distance. At that time, he thought it was a black stone, but he didn't know it was such a treasure. They are called stone nirvana by the locals, and many of them are exposed and rolled down the mountainside with the wind, and are thrown aside as stones by the local residents. Few people realize that this is an amazingly efficient fuel.

Zhao Wuxi immediately ordered: "Stop the pottery kiln first, and then think about the composition of the glaze. The township Situ searched for a few people who were familiar with mountain roads, brought a guard or two, prepared tools, and went to the mountain to mine open-air stone nirvana. Yu Zi is of great use!"

So there was Dou Pengzu's move to invite Jing, Tian Ben and others. He heard that it was a gentleman's need. Tian Ben, with the idea of ​​making meritorious deeds to atone for his sins, was full of energy with his sleeves on his back. When he went, Jing had been thinking of competing with Tian Ben, and he was not far behind.

They stayed on the mountain for one night, and in the afternoon of the next day, dozens of soldiers and savages carried bamboo baskets on their backs and brought back hundreds of pieces of dark lacquer.

After hearing the news, Zhao Wuxi came to watch it, ignoring Tian Ben, who was asking for credit with a shy smile, picked up a piece of "Stone Nirvana", and found that it was coal from a previous life.

He was overjoyed and said, "These are all good things. Once fired, the kiln can reach 1300, 140000000000000000000000, which is much higher than the temperature produced by firewood and charcoal!"

"Temperature? One thousand three hundred, one thousand four hundred?" Ji Qiao and Lu Taoweng looked at each other. It was the first time they had heard of it. Was this a gentleman's fancy idea?

In the pre-Qin period, there was no standard concept of temperature, and skilled craftsmen could only observe the color of the flame with the naked eye to judge the temperature, as well as the atmosphere in the kiln and furnace.

As the saying goes: "For gold and tin, when the black and turbid gas is exhausted, the yellow and white are second; when the yellow and white are exhausted, the green is second; when the blue and white are exhausted, the green is second. Then it can be cast."

The translation of this passage is: when copper and tin are added to the furnace for melting, the impure impurities are first melted and volatilized, and their combustion shows a "black" flame color; then, the lower melting point of tin and sulfur is melted And volatilized, showing a "yellow-white" flame color; as the furnace temperature rises, copper melts and volatilizes, copper and tin become a bronze alloy, showing a "blue-white" color, and then the furnace is pure green, and the furnace can be cast.

The fire observation method can not only be used in smelting and casting, but also used by potters.

So, Zhao Wuxi could only give the two people a brief introduction to the concept of "temperature".

"The so-called temperature is to describe the degree of cold and heat of a thing. When water freezes, it is zero degrees. When water boils, it becomes steam, which is hundreds of degrees. Therefore, when you see the ice in a bottle of water, you know the coldness of the world and the storage of fish and turtles. ."

Lu Taoweng suddenly realized, and Ji Qiao, who had been trained by Zhao Wuqi to be half a mathematician, hurriedly wrote it down on the slips and thought about it.

Now, everything is in place, and the east wind has arrived, but the first thing that blows is a lewd rain. Even if Zhao Wuxi was in a hurry to make porcelain, he couldn't use it on this heavy rainy day, and he could only give up angrily.

With Xia Yu Lian Lian, the time has come to the middle of June in a blink of an eye. The millet planted in spring has begun to turn from green to yellow, but the green millet planted in summer has not yet begun to grow.

On this day, the dark clouds were beginning to disperse, and Zhao Wuxi was discussing with Lu Taoweng and Chengwu to pick a good day to open the kiln again to make pottery, and the development was successful in one go. At this moment, Tong Ao, who was guarding outside the door, came to report that an envoy from the lower palace had come to become a village.

"The messenger from the lower palace?"

Zhao Wuxi's heart moved, and he hurriedly let people enter the door, only to see that the person who came was Zhi Renkuan wearing a soap coat, and he was responsible for conveying a message to Wu Xie on this trip.

Zhao Yang is back!

Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, the second one is in the afternoon
