Chapter 38 Transformation

The weather in February is still cold, but Liu Decai's mood is like a stove, which is hard to bear. Walking on the street, there is no need to be like a spring breeze, which blows on him.

After years of hard work, I finally got through it!

Liu Decai became happier the more he thought about it. He walked faster and faster. The child servant who followed him saw the master walking quickly and quickly ran up, afraid that he would not be able to keep up.

When they arrived at the county gate, the gatekeeper saw Liu Decai coming from afar. They all shook their energy and waited for Liu Decai to approach and quickly greeted him.

Liu Decai kept saying hello and entered the county party committee. He met many colleagues along the way, and his colleagues greeted him one after another. For a moment, Liu Decai became a big shot in the public eye.

Next to him, a minor official saw that Liu Shuzuo, who was not paying attention to on weekdays, was so popular, and asked others with some confusion: "What's wrong? Why do everyone greet Liu Shuzuo like they met the creditor?"

"Oh, don't you know?" The man looked at the little official with a surprised look. The little official shook his head blankly: "I don't know."

"Liu Shuzuo is about to be promoted!"

"Hey? Why are you going to get promoted suddenly?"

"You really don't know?"

"I really don't know?"

"Oh, what are your ears for? The news has spread!"

The little official really didn't know what news, and looked confused, and someone else said, "Liu Shuzuo's inner fellow is from Xinping Township. He burned pottery and porcelain from his mother's family, and burned white porcelain!"

"Ah? Aren't the porcelain all blue? Why are there white?"

"So you have little knowledge, white porcelain! White porcelain! That's a color that even many official kilns can't burn, and his wife's house burned it!"

"The Prince of Poyang is now in Poyang. When he heard about this, he immediately summoned Liu Shuzuo, and then took Liu Shuzuo to Xinping with the county officials."

"I'm sure that I can burn white porcelain steadily. Oh, the prince is happy. The county party committee immediately decided to let Liu Shuzuo take charge of the relevant affairs and set up an official kiln in Xinping!"

After hearing this, the little official suddenly realized. Looking at Liu Shuzuo's back, his eyes were full of envy: Now, he is going to be promoted!

Amidst the discussion, Liu Decai was so excited that he walked towards the office. He rushed back from Xinping yesterday. Today, Poyang's inner historian Fan Xu wanted to see him immediately and formally decide the matter of establishing the official kiln.

This means that you have to become an official from an assistant official.

When the official kiln fired a large amount of white porcelain and arrived in the capital, I think the court will have an appointment and add a part-time job to him.

This is thanks to the trust of the Prince of Poyang, and more thanks to the recommendation of the "new nephew" Li Li.

Moreover, it was unexpected that the white porcelain could be burned out, but it was thanks to Li Li's help.

Thinking of this, Liu De felt a little hot in his eyes: After decades of enduring, I, I finally got through!

......

In Xinping, next to a pottery kiln, a large number of pottery jars were piled up in the straw shed. The young and strong were loading pots to the wharf and transporting them to the downstream Poyang by boat.

Li Li and Peng Jun looked at the pots together, feeling very excited.

These clay pots will be used as containers to hold portions of "red croaker" and "fish pine", carrying many people's dreams of getting rich and sold to all places.

So, a clay pot is equivalent to a piggy bank. How can we not make the two of them excited?

The "Red Crown" project, which was supposed to be "opened" last fall, was forced to postpone due to a quality accident and was not completed until not long ago.

For this reason, Peng Jun, who borrowed money to run the workshop, spent one million more money in vain. If the business didn't open, his whole family would have to apologize for his death.

Because most of the creditors are relatives and friends of the Peng family, if they can't pay back the money, neither Xiao Peng nor Lao Peng will be ashamed to see others.

As an "entrepreneurship consultant", Li Li did not forget to tell Peng Jun: "Peng Lang, food safety is the top priority. We worked hard to lay the foundation. As long as there was an accident, the reputation would be completely ruined."

"I know, I will never slackew." Peng Jun nodded vigorously, looked at the clay pot in front of him, and felt a lot of emotion.

If this "project" is successful, he will be different. He is no longer the owner of a small restaurant, but...

But Peng Jun did not understand why Li Li firmly advocated selling the secret of firing white porcelain to the other four other big investors in Xinping.

The Wu family, the wife of Liu Decai, was the first to discover the secret of firing white porcelain, but it is said that Li Li came up with the idea, so with the help of Li Li, Peng Jun's sister-in-law's mother's Zeng family, spent a lot of money to buy this secret from the Wu family.

So two families knew about the secret of Baici.

Now, the Wu family is responsible for building the official kiln, and the Zeng family wants to fire white porcelain for the Poyang royal mansion. Both families have taken over the officials and the people. As a result, Li Li asked to sell the secret to four other major porcelain-burning companies in Xinping at a high price.

"Scarcity is precious, and Xinping water and soil can burn white porcelain. If this news spreads, do you know what the consequences will be?" Li Li asked, Peng Jun frowned and thought for a while, and said:

"Can you attract a group of evil dogs?"

Li Li shook his head: "No, it's a bad tiger. There are so many powerful people, and there must be someone who is jealous of this white porcelain. I want to get a share of the pie. Okay, who can you offend these people?"

"The production of white porcelain in the two porcelain kilns is so much. Whoever is distributed to, they will make a grudge. At this time, it is a question of whether they spend money on their lives, not how much money they can make."

"It's good to eat alone, but if you don't have the ability to keep it, it's better to let others get a share, otherwise you will be in trouble sooner or later."

"One one becomes two, two becomes six. At this moment, the powerful and wealthy people who come to the news will have the opportunity to share the benefits, and at least they will take into account their appearance."

This principle is easy to understand. Peng Jun could think that in the near future, many wealthy merchants who made money for the powerful would come to Xinping and contact these six companies to "make money matters".

Eating alone is easy to be unlucky. The six companies cooperate to share profits and risks. This is a stable way to make money. Li Li, who has contributed to all this, did not directly get a share of the pie.

"Li Lang, what is the secret of this white porcelain?" Peng Jun asked curiously, and Li Li said to Zeng Quannu: "I want to know? Let's see if your sister-in-law's eldest brother says not to tell."

"Hey, I'd better stop asking, otherwise, what should he do if he asks me about the secret of the red croaker?"

Peng Jun scratched his head, and saw Li Li's appearance that he was not concerned about himself, and became more and more admiring: "Li Lang, you, you are such a god, you know everything."

Li Li smiled meaningfully: "So, believe me, that's right!"

"Yeah!" Peng Jun was sincere. No matter what Li Li said, he would not question it, but he still couldn't understand it.

Peng Jun heard from his brother that it was actually a pure accident in the Wu family's burning of white porcelain. The subsequent process improvements were all due to Li Li. Li Li made such great efforts, but it seemed that he did not get much benefit from this matter.

Is it a loss?

"Are you losing? I don't think so." Li Li smiled, without explanation, and looked up at the sky.

The secret to burning white porcelain lies in the iron content of the porcelain clay. If the iron content can be reduced to a certain level, the white porcelain rather than celadon will be burned.

Therefore, there are two ways to achieve breakthroughs. First, find porcelain clay with low iron content; second, reduce the iron content of existing porcelain clay.

Historically, the ability of Jingdezhen to burn white porcelain means that there must be low iron content in this area and the reserves are amazing, but Li Li doesn't know where it is.

Therefore, it is better to use "magnetic separation", that is, to crush the porcelain clay as much as possible, and use a large amount of magnet to suck out the iron compound inside to reduce the iron content.

Such a process, as long as you can get a lot of magnets, it is like a window paper, and it can be broken with just one poke. For him, it is very troublesome to cash out (run a porcelain kiln), and it is better to be a favor.

This will attract a big fish, that is, the Poyang Palace.

However, it is very likely that larger fish will be attracted by white porcelain now, which is what Li Li needs to consider.

Time is tight, so in order to speed up the "progress", he had to take a gamble.
