- The sky in Lingnan changes at any time.
While everyone was talking, it started to rain outside Wangjiang Pavilion. Billions of water drops fell from the clouds and sprinkled on the tiles on the roof of the pavilion, making a crisp sound.
??The bullets are noisy and mixed, and big and small beads fall on the jade plate.
Look at the light smoke on the river again, and the shadows of sails are shrouded in the rain. The majestic Guangji Bridge was also covered in mist and rain, like a mirage.
A group of Chaozhou gentry had no time to appreciate this freehand landscape-like scenery. They only cared about, what does Mr. Zhao¡¯s factory produce?
"Of course it depends on what makes money and produces." Zhao Hao asked with a smile: "I have to ask all the experts for advice."
"Of course it is an export product." If we talk about this, the Chaozhou gentry will not be sleepy. You and I will give advice and suggestions to Mr. Zhao.
"There are few people in Chaozhou, and there are even fewer rich people, so you can't make any money except selling daily necessities here." Yue Yunpeng, the richest man in Chaozhou and the head of the Yue family in the west of the city, said: "So first of all, we have to look at what is selling in Guangzhou. Okay, secondly, it depends on what sells well in Yuegang, Zhangzhou, which is the closest place to Chaozhou. And the most urgent need in these two places is always export products such as silk and porcelain."
¡°It¡¯s too hot in Chaozhou, so it¡¯s not suitable to grow mulberry and raise silkworms.¡± Zhao Hao then laughed and said, ¡°Then let¡¯s produce porcelain first.¡±
"Producing porcelain" Hearing this, Yue Yunpeng couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Our Chaozhou porcelain has a history of thousands of years. We have been producing blue and white glazed porcelain on a large scale since the Tang Dynasty. By the Song Dynasty, porcelain kilns were spread all over the suburbs of the city. , with a radius of fifteen miles. There are ninety-nine porcelain kilns in the Bijia Mountain area alone, known as the 'Hundred Kiln Village'!"
"Yes, at that time, there were many chimneys on both sides of the Han River. It was known as 'Fireworks facing each other ten miles along the river', which was very spectacular." Liu Zixing also said with a nostalgic look on his face: "It is said that at that time, one-third of the porcelain exported from Guangzhou They all come from our Chaozhou. It¡¯s a pity that these scenes can only be seen in the government records. If I want to see the prosperity of the past, I wonder if I will have the chance in this life?¡±
"This is exactly what I want to ask. Why has Chaozhou porcelain disappeared now?" Zhao Hao asked: "I heard that even the broken porcelain pieces you use to inlay porcelain on the roof have to be ordered from Jingdezhen."
"Alas, one is that after the Tatars entered the Central Plains, they forcibly moved all the porcelain workers in Chaozhou. Secondly, at that time, the porcelain clay in Fucheng and both sides of the Han River was gone." The Jin gentry sighed: "It's hard for a clever woman to do nothing. For rice cooking, the remaining craftsmen were forced to make a living and either changed careers or moved to places like Foshan where their skills could be used. Over time, there were no longer large-scale kilns in Chaozhou. The craftsmen also lost their inheritance and Now people don¡¯t even know that we were once a porcelain capital as famous as Jingdezhen.¡±
"That's right" Zhao Hao nodded. He finally understood why the famous Chaozhou porcelain had an obvious gap between the Tang and Song Dynasties and the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
At first, he thought it was because the Yuan Dynasty, in order to monopolize the profits from the export of porcelain, forced craftsmen from kilns from all over the country to concentrate on porcelain production in Jingdezhen.
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty also followed the practice of the Yuan Dynasty and listed all porcelain workers in Jingdezhen as craftsmen, allowing them to burn kilns in Jingdezhen for generations. Not only was this easier to manage, but if the emperor wanted porcelain from Longquan kiln, Ru kiln, Jun kiln, or anything else, he only had to order the inner court to order it to be fired in Jingdezhen, which was extremely convenient.
As for whether this will destroy the porcelain industry across the country and affect local employment and economy, it has never been a question that the emperors considered. Of course, they don¡¯t understand this either¡
Unexpectedly, the resources for kiln burning have also been exhausted. No wonder the Chaozhou porcelain industry disappeared for a long time during the Ming Dynasty.
??????????????? However, Mr. Zhao has great prophecy skills, and he knows that by the Wanli period, Chaozhou¡¯s porcelain industry will flourish again, and it will continue from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China and New China. Teochew porcelain became nationally famous again.
Therefore, it is obvious that there are still porcelain clay mines in Chaozhou, but they cannot be mined near Fucheng or on the Hanjiang Plain for the time being.
But with the opening and closing of Longqing, porcelain, which accounted for more than half of the foreign trade products, was continuously exported overseas from Yuegang, in exchange for massive amounts of silver. It will definitely drive the Chaozhou people who love to make a fortune to look for new mining spots
??~~
"It doesn't matter." Mr. Zhao encouraged the Chaozhou Jinsheng: "Our Jiangnan Group has rich porcelain clay mines and a strong transportation fleet. If it doesn't work, if we transport ten or eight ships to Chaozhou every month, it won't be enough for you. Got it!"
"That's great!" The Jin gentry expressed their gratitude to Mr. Zhao one after another: "Young Master and the Jiangnan Group are really living bodhisattvas who save the suffering!"
¡°It¡¯s all for getting rich, I just want to bring everyone together to get rich.¡± Mr. Zhao smiled modestly. In Chaozhou, you can openly say "make a fortune", no need toLike in Jiangnan, it has to be done under the guise of serving the country and the people.
"Hahaha, we must respond positively." Sure enough, the Chaozhou guys really love making money, and they are gearing up one after another.
"However, the cost of long-distance transportation is too high, and the clouds and waves on the sea are treacherous, so as a last resort, there are local mineral resources." Zhao Hao read the answer and naturally felt confident in what he said.
"According to my knowledge, most of the kaolin mines for porcelain are found in mountainous areas, right? Chaozhou is surrounded by mountains. I wonder if anyone has explored the mountains before?"
"Yes, and there must be a lot of reserves." Yue Yunpeng gave him a definite answer: "Decades ago, my grandfather's generation discovered a large mine in Feitianyan. It is said that when it was mined, it would be enough for many things. Year."
"Feitianyan" Mr. Zhao's eyes lit up, and he thought that four hundred years later, there would still be a famous porcelain clay mine. "Then why is it not mined? Is it inconvenient to transport?"
"It's not bad in terms of transportation. Just four miles' walk down the mountain from Feitianyan, there is a boatable Phoenix River, which directly flows into the Han River." Yue Yunpeng shook his head.
"What's the reason?" Zhao Hao asked.
"Because that's the territory of the Hakkas." Yue Yunpeng said a little depressed: "Our fathers organized several offensives to seize Feitianyan. Unfortunately, they were repelled by relying on natural dangers, and hundreds of people died. This matter Gradually no one mentioned it anymore.¡±
"That's it" Mr. Zhao nodded clearly. It turned out that there was also a conflict between natives and guests.
No wonder even the flexible Chaozhou people have known that Jinshan has been there for decades, but they can only watch.
After all, once the matter rises to the level of conflict between natives and foreigners, reason goes to hell, and the only words left in everyone's mind are "if you don't accept it, do it".
??~~
The contradiction between natives and guests exists widely in Chinese history. What is soil and what is guest? It means the first inhabitants and the latter inhabitants.
Because according to the old household registration system, all immigrants and naturalized people were registered as Hakkas, so the ethnic groups that immigrated later were called Hakkas.
Whenever there are troubled times, in order to avoid the war, people will migrate on a large scale from the Central Plains, where military strategists must fight, to the uncivilized south. Among them, Yongjia and Jianyan crossed south twice, and the Han people migrated southward on a large scale.
These northerners who migrated to the south in clan units will naturally crowd out the living space of the local people. But in troubled times, both local and Hakka populations were small, and the Hakkas also brought advanced culture and technology from the north, which greatly improved the local economy. So both sides can still live in peace.
But as the troubled times pass and enter the peaceful years, the population gradually becomes denser, and the two sides are bound to conflict over water, land and resources. This is the so-called ¡®local-guest conflict¡¯.
Contrary to the common impression, the conflict between natives and foreigners is actually not an ethnic conflict, but a conflict between different ethnic groups within the Han nationality competing for living space.
In areas such as Guangdong and Fujian, this kind of conflict is particularly intense. For example, the Hakka people in Chaozhou originally lived in the mountainous areas of Meizhou, Jieyang and other places. The locals live on the plains, and the two sides are clearly separated and basically peaceful.
But after two hundred years of peace, the Hakka population surged. The barren mountains and hills could no longer sustain them, prompting them to expand eastward from the interior. So the natives and the foreigners met in the mountains on the edge of the plain.
They call each other thieves and bandits, and conflicts of blood and fire continue to unfold. Coupled with the harassment of bandits and Japanese pirates, as well as the conflicts between the Han people and the local She people, Chaozhou became a mess.
Therefore, it is normal for Chaozhou locals not to be able to develop industry and commerce. It is also a normal choice for Chaozhou people to go to Nanyang to make a living.
??~~
But for Zhao Hao, this is an opportunity. What he fears most is that when there is a monolith, it is easier to manipulate if there are factions!
But this topic is obviously not something that should be discussed today.
So he went back to his previous decision¡ªthen use a fleet to transport kaolin to build a factory and burn a kiln!
This was also what the Chaozhou gentry hoped for, so they all expressed their willingness to contribute.
Of course I want to get a share of the pie.
"It's easy to talk about. We must make a fortune together. But this topic can be discussed later, otherwise we won't be able to get back to today's topic after dark." Zhao Hao said to everyone with a smile.
"Yes, yes, we are obsessed with money." The big dogs said sarcastically.
Although it was inappropriate to ask at this time, everyone kept it in mind, and when they were ready to go back, they would ask Mr. Zhao or the people around him for information.
"Young master just said that the education revitalization package is a five-finger fist." It was Liu Zixing who brought the topic back. "Yufeng Academy is one, affiliated primary and secondary schools are one; free primary and secondary schools are one, Chaozhou Technical College is onethat's four fingers. What about the last one?"
"This last finger is amazing." Zhao Hao replied with a smile: "Fenghuang Continent is such a big place, it can't be used for just opening an academy. So I also plan to locate Chaozhou Agricultural College here!"
"Okay, this can remind those nerds who don't distinguish between grains and grains to never forget to put agriculture first." Liu Zixing praised without asking anything, and then asked: "But what does this agricultural college teach? "
ps. If you say three updates for three consecutive days, you will definitely do it. There is one more update I guess it won't be much earlier than yesterday, so I'll check it out tomorrow morning. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)There is one branch for primary and secondary schools; one branch for free primary and secondary schools; one branch for Chaozhou Technical Collegethat¡¯s four fingers.
