"As for the tribute, it must be the big pen of the Minister of Labor and Xu."

Feng Yansi's ability to be a human being can be seen. If Xu Xuan is not present, he would probably ask Li Jing to write an article himself or write it himself, and he would never put the credit out.

But today Xu Xuan was present, and Feng Yansi was very clever to show his kindness to him. First of all, there was no conflict of interest between him and the Xiaoyao Sect, so there was no need to be tense. Secondly, Xu Xuan was indeed a little bit stronger in composition than Feng Yansi and Li Jing...

After hearing this, Li Jing asked someone to send Shi Xubai and Li Yu together. Fortunately, Chengxin Hall was very close to the palace, and after a cup of tea, the two of them stood in front of Li Jing.

As usual, Li Jing praised Li Yu and Shi Xubai for their contributions, and then Feng Yansi carefully proposed whether he could cast the ritual vessel in these few days.

Li Yu scratched his head: "I have to ask Jin Zuojian. Mr. Shi and I really know nothing about this. Moreover, the shape of this ritual vessel is strange, so I am afraid that conventional casting methods will not be useful."

"So, I'll report it tomorrow."

Li Jing nodded, and wanted to ask Li Yu how he recognized these objects, but for some reason he waved his hand to let them kneel down.

Back to Chengxin Hall, he recruited a few masters, showed them the patterns and showed them a lot of questions and answers, "King, this is not impossible to cast. Although the shape and utensils are complicated, they are made by the lost wax method. It is not a big deal. It is just a few. They are not an expert in casting. The construction period is tight. Why don't you go to the Ministry of Works?"

When Li Yu thought about it, he was the same. The Jin-made supervisor, the bamboo and wood-made supervisor, and the fine supervisors did not have any experience in casting. So, do you have to go to the Ministry of Works to poach?

Shi Xubai suddenly said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to go to the Ministry of Works. If someone is transferred from where to come, there will be more troubles in writing. I recommend one person to take on this important task."

"Oh? Who?"

"Qingzhou Zhu Zundu"

"Puff" Li Yu almost spit out a mouthful of tea, "Zhu Zundu, that water king, uh, no, that famous scholar?!"

"That's right" Shi Xubai didn't pursue what the Water King meant.

His opinion of Li Yu is a bit sensible now. He thinks that the level of this king is much higher than that of him. If you don’t understand, don’t think about it. That’s the secret. If you think too much, you will have to make your life worse. You have already entered the coffin with one foot. It’s better to save some life.

Li Yu didn't know about this person in his previous life, but he only realized after traveling through time. He was known as the two largest sages of the Southern Tang Dynasty together with Shi Xubai.

Unlike Shi Xubai, Zhu Zundu is famous for his good at filling water, not, and writing series.

"Hongjian Xue Ji" {no square} a thousand volumes!

"Quanshu Lizao" one thousand volumes!

There are other books.

There are only a thousand volumes at any time...

It is said that writings are enough, but it seems that Zhu Zundu's height is about the same as that of a mountain giant.

"I am familiar with Zhu Zundu. In addition to compiling books, he often uses gold-making tools to entertain himself. As for burning fire and elixirs, making wood carvings is no problem."

This is?

Ancient engineering students?

I wonder if there is any bonus for black-framed glasses for engineering students who are both literary and martial.

Li Yu didn't have to think too much and directly pulled Shi Xubai to visit him.

This made the latter repeatedly praise the king for being arrogant and thirsty for seeking talents.

I ran to the Zhu family, and before I could enter the door, I felt a wave of heat. After knocking on the door, I saw that the yard was filled with black coal.

"Hmm? There's a way." Li Yu raised his eyebrows, knowing that he was probably here right this time.

The application of coal in China began in the late Tang Dynasty and flourished in the middle of the Song Dynasty. Although coal has high calories, it will have a strange smell when burned, so it is not popular.

When the population of Bianliang soared in the middle of the Song Dynasty and the mere logging and charcoal burning could no longer meet the demand, coal was used.

"I'm afraid there are only a lot of carbonite in Jiangning City, so I'm here?" Li Yu said casually

"Who is coming? He actually knows something about charcoal?" Shi Xubai did not answer, but another voice came from beside him.

The two turned their heads and saw an old man, tall, white beards, and his face was full of fireworks, but his voice was loud, as if he was in his prime.

I think it was Zhu Zundu.

"Ye Ming? Why are you here?" Zhu Zundu couldn't help but be curious when he saw Shi Xubai.

Shi Xubai quickly introduced it. When Zhu Zundu heard that this was King Anding, who was in the limelight recently, was also shocked and quickly bowed.

Li Yu helped him and didn't make too many polite things. He briefly explained the matter of casting ritual vessels, emphasizing that the construction period was tight, so the budget was not a problem, as long as the things were made out.

When he heard that it was only less than seven days, Zhu Zundu was a little worried.

"King, these are not difficult to say. Just cast by the lost wax method, just..."

Zhu Zundu then explained the method of losing wax, the precision casting method evolved from the method of burning and loss.

First, carve the shape of the object to be cast with beeswax, and then put the patterns one by one, then apply refractory materials such as soil on the outside, wait for them to dry, put them in the fire and burn them, and a small hole is made in the lower part.

After being heated and melted, the beeswax flows away from the small hole to form a hollow mud sheet inside. Then the melted copper juice is poured into the small hole, and after cooling, breaking the mud sheet is a complete utensil, which is just a little trimmed.

If it is a large type of device, you can cast out each component separately by using the loss of wax method and then splice it together.

"The trouble with the loss of wax is to make a wax mold first. The more detailed the wax mold is, the more exquisite the cast utensils are. It is not easy to carve wax molds." Zhu Zundu shook his head

"It's okay, it's simple." Li Yu clapped and laughed.

Being a prince is good, and the big trouble for Zhu Zundu is simply a piece of cake in his eyes.

The biggest difference between a prince and a civilian is that the resources available for call are not on the same level.

Some carving craftsmen in Chengxin Hall, including fine works, fine works, and Jinzuo, pulling them out casually, and having a few tricks on their hands.

Although the materials used for carving are different, even if you are a student, you may be able to use soft and easy-to-process beeswax.

As soon as he said his plan, Zhu Zundu immediately patted his chest and said, "The King of An Ding is just waiting to hear the good news."

...

On April 26, Li Jing led all the ministers to worship Emperor Yan in the suburbs. Not only were the main officials in the court attending, but the envoys from other countries in the Southern Tang Dynasty were also invited to visit the ceremony.

In order to spread the matter through their mouths.

This sacrificial ceremony did not disappoint him. Although the golden ritual vessels looked a little less ancient, they were regular in shape and exquisite in shape, which made the audience admire them.
