At present, the kiln-firing technology mastered by the Bai Susu family has reached an extremely high level.

Of course, there was Su Chen's help in this, and the improvement of the furnace fire, etc., even exceeded the level of the official kiln itself in the Northern Song Dynasty in history.

Historically, the pursuit of glaze color in official porcelain of the Northern Song Dynasty reached the extreme. The vessels were unmodified and the pure glaze color and the beauty of cracks were the highest level.

The glaze color of the official kiln celadon is crystal clear and as solid as fat jade, embodying a kind of extremely gorgeous and ultimately plain beauty. The meaning is touching and breathtaking, but it is difficult to express it in words on the tip of a pen.

The Bai family has also mastered the firing technology of celadon and can completely refine it.

Of course, among the five major kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty, Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun, and Ding, the best one was Ru kiln, which was famous for its azure color.

Ru Kiln began in the early Song Dynasty, flourished in the late Northern Song Dynasty, declined in the Southern Song Dynasty, and finally ended in the late Yuan Dynasty. Compared with this timeline, people are more familiar with the sentence: "Even if I have a huge family fortune, it is not worth a piece of Ru porcelain."

It is said that Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, watched the rain in his dream, and when he woke up, he wrote the imperial edict: "After the rain, the sky is blue and the clouds break the virginity. This color will be the future."

It is made and finally fired into a special glaze color, including egg white, pink green, bean green, insect green, green and sky blue, among which sky blue is especially precious.

The glaze color is sky blue, but this kind of green is not easy to control, and different objects will have different shades. The so-called light one is like the blue sky thousands of miles away, which is called "sky blue"; the dark one is like the rain passing through the sky and the clear clouds are broken, which is called "azure".

Sky Blue".

Su Chen told all this to the Bai family. Therefore, at this time, the blue and white porcelain, azure glaze, etc. were already the Bai family's best porcelain, surpassing the previous pure celadon and white porcelain.

"I will find a suitable kiln as soon as possible and then promote production." Bai Susu promised Su Chen.

She also knew very well that without military pay, this newly established Shence Army would probably be nothing more than a mob.

Without enough armor, weapons, horses, food, salary, etc., it will be very difficult to develop a strong combat effectiveness, and even if the military pay and food are insufficient, it will face the risk of disbandment.

Part of the thousands of troops now came from Yang Ling'er's allocation, which was obtained from Chen Hongjin's storage after he stayed in Zhangquan, and part of the funds came from the money brought by the Bai family.

Without the rich support of the Bai family, Su Chen would definitely not be able to be so cool. Just three days after arriving here, he proposed to form a team and try his own training methods. If it works, it will be applied to the three armies. This is his external statement.

Yang Linger will definitely support everything. As long as it is brought up by her brother, she will support it unconditionally!

This is still a fan girl!

………

A few days later, three middle-aged generals, Lu Chaoqun, Wei Dongqiang, and Qi Ying, came to Quanzhou from overseas islands.

They are the three major forces of Heiyundu on the overseas islands. This time they attacked the Zhangquanhui area and sent Lu Zheng, Gao Fu'an and others. Now that the situation is stable, they are about to attack Wuyue, so they naturally came to Citong City.

Yang Ling'er, Su Chen, Lu Zheng, Wang Yuanbo and others greeted several island owners and generals.

"Meet my lord!" The three middle-aged generals all saluted Princess Yang Ling'er together.

But in order to maximize the status of the Yang Wu royal family, they did not call Yang Ling'er princess, but changed it to lord!

Yang Ling'er also always wears men's clothes, looking like a handsome young man.

This is to be shown to outsiders. Many soldiers will have more fighting spirit after seeing the young master.

If she is just a princess, many soldiers will feel unsure, worried about the instability of the political power, the instability of the inheritance, etc. Moreover, in the traditional concept, there is the idea that men are superior to women. This is caused by the concept of the times. It is necessary to further strengthen the confidence of the soldiers, so that

When people came to seek refuge, Yang Ling'er dressed up as a young man, which was undoubtedly more suitable for the situation.

Now everyone calls her "Lord".

"No need to be polite, welcome General Lu, General Wei, and General Qi to Citong City."

Lu Chaoqun smiled and said: "You are here and you have captured the land of Zhangquan. It is worth celebrating. We came here late and it seems like we are enjoying the blessing. I hope you don't mind it. When we send out troops next time, we old guys can charge into the battle again."

, I did my best for Heiyundu.”

"As for General Lu, we are just vanguards under the guidance of several generals. Major events in the future will need to be decided by several senior generals." Gao Fu'an returned with a smile as he cupped his hands.

"Okay, let's go in." Lu Chaoqun had the highest prestige, so he spoke and was echoed by everyone.

Everyone gathered around the lord Yang Ling'er and came to the meeting hall together.

"Who is Mr. Su?"

After Lu Chaoqun sat down, he was the first to ask Su Chen.

Since these are not outsiders, there is no need to worry about others.

Su Chen stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I have met General Lu and other generals."

Lu Chaoqun's eyes were as bright as a torch, and he looked at Su Chen carefully, showing a scrutinizing look.

Even though he was on an overseas island, he had heard about many of his talents and deeds, especially the martial arts, which Lu Chaoqun also loved to watch.

"A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people!" Lu Chaoqun felt that he was such a person, and compared with the great chivalrous man Guo of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Under his sharp gaze, Lu Chaoqun found that Su Chen did not feel any awkwardness at all.

From Su Chen, he saw confidence, gentleness, tolerance, calmness, etc., as well as some masculinity, not a complete scholar image.

"Well, it turns out that with his talent, he is one of the best among men!"

Lu Chaoqun was naturally a little happy to see the "author" himself and expressed his appreciation.

"Thank you General Lu for your high praise." Su Chen continued to keep a low profile.

Lu Chaoqun looked pleased and said: "There is no need to be humble, you are well-deserved. From now on, you must give more advice to the lord and pacify Jiangnan. We are all rough men. It's okay to charge into battle and rob homes and homes. It's better to govern the country."

We need your talent!"

"Yes, Mr. Su, no matter how clever you are, the revival of the Kingdom of Wu depends on Mr. Su's advice."

"That's right, don't let me down!"

These rough and tumble generals did not embarrass Su Chen when they met. Instead, they admired them very much.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they all love to read Su Chen's Sui and Tang romances and martial arts. If it was just poetry and poetry, they probably wouldn't appreciate it, so they wouldn't have the same attitude now.

After everyone was polite, Su Chen took the opportunity to propose his plan to establish a shipping company.

"Shibo Division, what is this for?" All the generals looked confused.

So, Su Chen explained to everyone that the Municipal Shipping Department is a department responsible for the foreign trade of this team, including ship construction and renewal, overseas trade, customs inspection, etc.

In the history books, the Quanzhou Shipping Department of the Song Dynasty was located in Quanzhou City, which was a natural seaport.

The Municipal Shipping Department was a full-time management agency for shipping in and out in ancient times. The earliest development of foreign trade began in the Han Dynasty, but it was the Silk Road in the Western Regions. With the rise and vigorous development of sea trade, the Tang Dynasty established a special management agency

The agency for foreign trade affairs - "Municipal Department".

By the Song Dynasty, shipbuilding technology was very advanced, and the carrying capacity of the built sea ships could reach 5,000 stones (300 tons). In the late Northern Song Dynasty, the compass had been widely used in navigation, and a technical biography "The Needle Classic" appeared to record sea routes.

The maritime trade of the Northern Song Dynasty targeted more than 50 countries, and imported and exported more than 400 kinds of goods. The imported goods were mainly spices, treasures, medicinal materials and textiles, etc., and the exported goods were mainly textiles, agricultural products, ceramics, metal products, etc.

According to records, Zhao Kuangyin established the Municipal Shipping Department in Guangzhou in the fourth year of Kaibao (971), and later successively established the Municipal Shipping Department in Hangzhou, Mingzhou, Quanzhou, and Mizhou. This suggestion was made six years later than Su Chen.

The revenue from shipping has always been an important source of fiscal revenue for the Song Dynasty. In the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, the revenue from shipping reached about 420,000 yuan. In the early period of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty's rule was in deep crisis, and the revenue from shipping played an even more important role in the finances.

.

It can be said that Quanzhou Shipping Department, as an ancient foreign trade agency in the Central Plains, witnessed the prosperity of maritime trade in China's Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties.

Su Chen wanted to use this organization to take the lead in bringing back war horses, grain, money, other commodities, etc. through overseas trade to enrich the inventory of Heiyun City in Zhangquan and develop and expand his team.
