Chapter 97 Kiln Firing

The blacksmith agreed, but did not give Zhao Hanzhang a certificate.

The Zhao family is the largest family in Xiping, and no one dares to cheat them, not to mention that Zhao Hanzhang is from the eldest family.

When Zhao Song heard about this, he thought that Zhao Hanzhang's gun tip was ordered for Zhao Erlang, and said: "Erlang is not good at studying. It would be good if he could learn some martial arts for self-protection. Do you have a master to teach you? If so, No, pick a master from here."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said: "Fifth uncle, have you forgotten? Zhao Ju is at my place."

"Oh, yes, you have Zhao Ju." Zhao Song then remembered that the two most useful people for Zhao Changyu, Ji Yuan and Zhao Ju, were actually with Zhao Hanzhang.

He couldn't help but ponder, does the eldest brother mean to value Sanniang more?

When Zhao Ming knew his father's doubts, he wanted to shake his shoulders to wake him up, "Father, the current patriarch is the second wife. If uncle has such thoughts, wouldn't he be dividing the clan? This is a big deal for the clan. Ji, shouldn’t you be thinking about settling the dispute at this time and trying to weaken and stay away from Sanniang?”

"My eldest brother has dedicated his life to the court, the people, and the clan. In terms of foresight and knowledge, how many people in the world can match him?" Zhao Song said: "He will not harm the Zhao family. If it is as you said, Ji Yuan and Zhao Ju are He intends to leave it to Sanniang, which means that he thinks that the second wife is too difficult to use, and it is better for the clan to give it to Sanniang than to the second wife."

Zhao Ming: "...then Ji Yuan and Zhao Ju were not given to me by my uncle, but were snatched away by Sanniang herself?"

Regarding his father's senseless boasting about his uncle, Zhao Ming decided not to say anything or get involved, and just wanted to calm the relationship within the clan.

Zhao Song stopped talking.

Zhao Ming was deeply moved when he saw that he was finally willing to think about another possibility. Is it easy for him to make his father a little wary of Zhao Sanniang?

Zhao Hanzhang has returned to Shangcai with the craftsmen they gave him.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Zhao Erlang made a dark circle. He came galloping over on horseback with a big sword in hand. He was very happy and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, I can pick up Uncle Qianli's five moves on the horse."

Fu Tinghan nodded and praised him, "That's great. Have you received any endorsement recently?"

Zhao Hanzhang stared at his dark face, "Erlang, you can't get a wife like this, aren't you told not to go out when the sun is the strongest?"

He didn't like to hear what either of them said, so he selectively chose and forgot the one he didn't like hearing the most, and only answered one of them, "Then I won't take a wife."

He rubbed his face and said, "My mother-in-law has to dress me up every day, but I don't like to apply powder. My eyes are blurred when I sweat. It's so uncomfortable."

He pointed at Fu Tinghan and said: "It's great to be like a brother-in-law, but he never fails to show his face."

"That's because his face turned white without applying it." Zhao Hanzhang looked at her brother's face, and finally sighed: "Forget it, don't apply it. If you apply it, it will turn out white."

The wheat on both sides had been harvested, and farmers were plowing the fields to sow beans. Zhao Erlang was a little anxious when he saw Zhao Hanzhang walking very slowly and looking both ways, "Sister, let's have a horse riding competition to see who is faster." "

He said: "If you like to see what's interesting about farming, there's one next to our house. We'll go back there later."

Zhao Hanzhang: "This is related to whether we will be hungry or full for the next year. Of course we have to watch."

She taught: "Even if you don't like it, you still need to know something about it. From now on, when you are in charge of your own business, you must at least know how much food you have in your warehouse and whether it is enough for people to eat."

"Just leave it to Mr. Ji," Zhao Erlang said, "My mother-in-law said that you can leave everything at home to Mr. Ji. If you don't understand, just ask him."

Zhao Hanzhang took advantage of the situation and asked, "Did Mr. Ji teach you how to read?"

Zhao Erlang stopped talking again.

"I know you don't like reading, but it doesn't matter. We won't be literate if the words are difficult to read. The fifth uncle is right. If you are not good at reading, then we will take the path of martial arts." Zhao Hanzhang said: "But taking the path of martial arts does not mean If you want to be a reckless man, how about this, from now on I will give you a military lesson every day?"

"You don't need your eyes to read, you have to listen with your ears and use your brain to memorize. The knowledge in this world can't only be seen and learned with your eyes. You can also listen with your ears, as long as you are willing to use your brain to memorize."

Zhao Erlang half understood, but he couldn't help but stiffen his spine after knowing that he still had to study. He immediately looked at Fu Tinghan, "I, I, I want my brother-in-law to tell me."

Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows and looked at Fu Tinghan.

Fu Tinghan: "...I just barely remember "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and I don't understand other military books."

Zhao Hanzhang: "It doesn't matter. Our family's collection of books includes "Six Tao", "Hanshu Yiwenzhi", and "Sun Tzu's Art of War". If he can learn two points of these three books, it will be enough for him in his life. .”

Fu Tinghan felt as if the school had assigned teaching tasks.

He rubbed his forehead and said, "I'll do my best, but I don't have any good insights into the art of war. Maybe you can add some."

"Okay, I will teach with you, and we also need to practice martial arts and exercise together."

Fu Tinghan almost forgot about this. He was a little silent when he thought of running and boxing with Zhao Hanzhang every day some time ago. He was as tired as a dog.

It's been such a happy life in Zhao's Wubao these past few days.

Fu Tinghan couldn't help but ask, "When will we go to Xiping next time?"

"It depends on the situation. I want to wait until the glass is beaten out."

For Fu Tinghan, making glass is not difficult. He knows all the formulas and steps. As long as he has the cooperation of the craftsmen, it is only a matter of time before he can make it.

The reason why there was a time problem was because of the limitations of the equipment at the time, but what does it matter? There are always more solutions than difficulties. Just work backwards and achieve it step by step.

Zhao Hanzhang handed the craftsmen he brought back to Uncle Cheng and asked him to make arrangements for their families, and immediately asked the craftsmen to prepare the porcelain.

She decided to try the conditions at the kiln entrance first to see how well they could handle the heat, and then started firing glass.

Ji Yuan didn't know that she was interested in glass, and thought she just wanted to make porcelain. When he saw the porcelain made by the craftsmen, he looked disgusted, "Such porcelain is only for people in the manor, and it can't be sold." , Why would Sanniang waste her friendship with the Fifth Master for such a small profit?"

The craftsman on the side was unconvinced when he heard this, "My kiln didn't fire well. That's because the kiln is new and the environment here is different from before. I'll just wait until I get familiar with it."

"Yes, and this clay is not good enough. If Sanniang wants to make good porcelain, she still needs good clay and good materials."

Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand generously and said: "I know, everything that should be there will be there. You start firing the kiln. The recently fired porcelain will be used by the people in the manor, so any porcelain cups, porcelain bowls, porcelain plates, porcelain plates... The main purpose of making things is to make these things.”

Ji Yuan couldn't help but pull Zhao Hanzhang aside, "Sanniang, do you really plan to start a porcelain business?"

He said: "It's okay if there are few things now. In the future, if there are more things, we will inevitably compete with Xiping for business. If there are interest disputes, the relationship may not be so harmonious."
