    In his desperation, Liu Mingqi found it difficult to find someone to buy the land owned by Nangong Qiucheng and Wang Zhiru.

    So he simply asked his uncle Xu Dongping to buy the 28,000 acres of land.

    The price is a bit expensive, but the Xu family has made a lot of money through the business of Prince Yu's Mansion, so it is not a problem.

    My mother often says that she needs to take more care of her grandfather¡¯s family. This is also a big gift.

    When tobacco is cultivated and large-scale production can be achieved, and these lands are dedicated to growing tobacco, the money earned will surely be like a torrential river, endless.

    It is much better than farming, so it can be regarded as a fixed and good asset of the old Xu family.

    Of course, these are just small things.

    Liu Mingqi called Tian Rong out and found someone from the Imperial Palace Yamen. He directly offered a high price of thirty thousand taels of silver and bought Nangong Qiucheng's ceramics workshop.

    This era and modern times have common problems.

    When a factory is sold, the workers inside are worthless, only the assets count.

    So Liu Mingqi got a big deal.

    The three masters there were all poached from Jingdezhen, and they also brought more than a dozen apprentices. They all signed contracts with the workshop for five to ten years and could not leave before the expiry date.

    ¡°Otherwise, given their skills, they would have found another employer long ago.

    "Masters, come, please take a seat." Liu Mingqi looked at the three middle-aged people standing in front of him, and his tone was very polite.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    "Thank you, young prince!"

    The three masters are also people who have seen the world.

    They have even met the current Prime Minister, Nangong Ji, so even if the prince and son are in front of them, they can maintain basic etiquette and calmness.

    "Young Master Nangong has already told you all, right?" the young man asked again.

    "Yes, young prince, the eldest young master has already said that you will be our boss from now on." Master Yu, the oldest, smiled honestly.

    "Thank you, young prince, for taking over the workshop. Otherwise, we would suddenly have to rush to find a new owner. I'm afraid it would be troublesome, and my whole family would have to starve and freeze." Another Master Zhu also looked very grateful.  .

    Although the three of them have very good production skills, according to the contract, unless they buy the entire workshop, they can only use it until the end of the contract.

    If they meet an unreliable owner, the best ten years of their career will be wasted.

    Of course, this is no wonder others, they had accepted such a condition after accepting a large amount of money from Nangong Qiucheng.

    Who knew that an official as big as Nangong Xiangye would fall down at his word? There was nothing he could do about it.

    Fortunately, the current Crown Prince Yu is stronger than the Nangong family.

    They have been in the capital for several years.

    Soap, floral essential oils, sugar, toilet paper, White Rabbit toffee, honeycomb briquettes, etc., these good things that people are grabbing are all produced by Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion.

    It is said that Prince Yu also figured it out.

    With such a powerful owner, they don¡¯t have to worry about their treatment being poor.

    "If you follow me, you can rest assured in terms of treatment. There is no one in the world who can compare with you." Liu Mingqi gave a guarantee first, and then asked: "As far as I know, the employment contract between you and the workshop is  It¡¯s only five years, right?¡±

    "right!"

    The youngest Master Kuang replied: "We signed for ten years, and now we have five years left."

    "What are you going to do after five years?" Liu Mingqi asked.

    ¡°I¡¯m planning to go back to my hometown, take care of my old age, and build a small ceramics workshop, which will give future generations a way to make a living.¡± Master Zhu said with a smile.

    Master Yu said: "I have already bought two hundred acres of land in the countryside with Master Nangong's money. My children are also busy farming. After these five years are over, I will buy another two to three hundred acres of land."  The land is enough for the family to live on.¡±

    The last Master Kuang said, "If you still need me, young prince, I will stay and follow you!"

    Unlike Master Zhu who is 41 years old and Master Yu who is 43 years old, he is only 35 years old this year. Of course he hopes to earn more money.

    The salary given to them by Nangong Qiucheng is not low. Each person receives 500 taels of silver per year.It can reach at least seventy points.

    right!

    This is porcelain invented by foreigners.

    Its name is

    Bone china.

    Bone china was invented by the British.

    Bone china was popular for a while. When the so-called British gentleman trend swept across China, many people liked to show off and chose to use this kind of bone china, feeling that they seemed superior to others.

    But as everyone becomes more and more knowledgeable, especially as their self-confidence grows stronger, bone china has never become mainstream in our country.

    Originally!

    The ancestor of bone china is called thin-body porcelain, which is a super fine product and a national treasure.

    ?Compared with it, bone china is completely a low-quality counterfeit.

    ??In fact, this is also true.

    It was precisely because thin-bodied porcelain spread to England that the British regarded it as a god, and then they forced themselves to imitate it.

    So there is today¡¯s bone china.

    Bone china can be regarded as a low-end beggar¡¯s version of thin-body porcelain.

    There are currently no ultra-high-tech products like thin-bodied porcelain in Jingdezhen.

    It just so happens that Liu Mingqi can make this much simpler bone china, which can be regarded as an inspiration for our ceramic masters to quickly study and make real national treasure thin body porcelain.

    ?Compared to the extremely complicated thin-body porcelain, the ingredients and craftsmanship of bone china are relatively simple.

    Liu Mingqi has seen in books that the British announced the ratio themselves.

    Fifty percent bone meal, 25% porcelain stone, and 25% clay.

    Bone china can be made by gluing these together.

    And these bone meals can be used with beef bone powder and sheep bone meal, preferably beef bone powder.

    Why haven¡¯t these ceramic masters in our country made bone china?

    Liu Mingqi felt that cattle were probably very important in ancient times and were in small numbers, so no one wasted so much on using beef bone powder to make ceramics.

    If our lives had been prosperous, God knows how many exquisite porcelains those ceramic masters could have produced.

    You must know that the once-splendid Guan Kiln, Ru Kiln, Ge Kiln, Jun Kiln, Ding Kiln, Longquan Kiln, Yaozhou Kiln and other large kiln factories have all disappeared in the long river of history.

    This is not only a loss to our civilization, but also a huge economic loss!

    Think about it, if all these kilns were here, how much money would they earn from exporting porcelain, and how much food would they buy?

    What Liu Mingqi wants to do is to greatly develop porcelain.

    Start with bone china, first make money from the well-off people, and then make money from overseas barbarians.

    The more money I have, the happier I, the salted fish, will be!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
