I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Liu Tan didn't care about the set of porcelain that was about to come out of the oven, ran to the side of the defective product and took a closer look, then jumped out of one of the wine cups.

The wine cup is covered with cracks, as if the ice is cracked, and the patterns are layered, which seems to be arranged randomly but has a kind of incomplete beauty.

Liu Tan looked at it carefully for a long time, and then checked again to make sure that there was no problem with the wine cup, but the glaze on the surface formed cracks.

Probably because his expression was too serious, none of the people around dared to speak, and those slaves who were about to take out the defective car and smashed it for destruction, and were about to use the waste for re-burning, already knelt on the ground.

These people in the winter were so scared that they were sweating profusely.

Liu Tan looked at it carefully for a long time before letting out a sigh of relief: "It really is an ice crack."

Ice crack?

Miao Rui and Bi Gao looked at each other, they had never heard of this name before, but if they were talking about the wine cup in front of them, it would describe it quite well.

Liu Tan turned his head and said, "Go get a lacquer box, put soft cloth or fur in it, and put this wine cup in it."

It is not an exaggeration to say that the world's first cracked ice porcelain is a priceless treasure.

Wait...is this...really the first?

Liu Tan immediately asked: "Have you ever encountered porcelain with such a glazed surface?"

The slave kneeling below said tremblingly, "Okay...it seems to have...been."

They were almost scared to death. Looking at the expression of the King of the North, they knew that this thing must be very precious. Thinking that they had destroyed one before, everyone began to worry about whether their lives would be lost.

Liu Tan took a deep breath: "What is it? Where is it?"

The slave was almost lying on the ground: "It's...it's a wine jug, it's...already destroyed."

Liu Tan suddenly suffocated for breath, and his whole body was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

Flagon, the world's first ice-cracked flagon, it's gone!

Miao Rui and Bi Gao were terrified by his expression, and quickly said, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you, Your Highness?"

Bi Gao said: "These people are all detained and wait to be dealt with!"

Fortunately, Liu Tan didn't lose his mind with heartache. He let out a long breath and waved his hands and said, "No, don't embarrass them. It has nothing to do with them."

It's because he didn't make it clear that the glaze of this thing looks cracked, and most people would treat it as a defective product.

But he didn't expect to be able to burn ice cracks!

Miao Rui and Bi Gao also breathed a sigh of relief, don't look at Liu Che asking Liu Tan to contemplate behind closed doors, in fact, if something happened to Liu Tan in the palace, one or the other would not think about it.

After Liu Tan came over, the lacquer box was also brought over, and according to his instructions, a layer of soft fox fur was padded inside.

Liu Tan carefully put the ice-cracked wine cup into it, and repeatedly said: "This is a priceless treasure, so be careful and careful!"

It was rare for him to have such a serious expression, which made the slave holding the lacquer box nervous and sweaty.

After someone put the things in his study, Liu Tan turned his head and asked, "Who made this wine cup?"

Miao Rui hurriedly sent someone to find out the craftsman who made the wine cup. The craftsman knelt down and kowtowed tremblingly. Liu Tan quickly asked him to stand up and asked, "Where is the cracked wine cup?" Did you bake it?"

The craftsman didn't know what happened at this time, so he quickly knelt down and said: "This old slave is not good at learning, please punish him by Your Highness."

Liu Tan said: "If you don't punish, don't punish. Let me ask you, did you also fire the wine pot before?"

The craftsman nodded in a daze, and Liu Tan asked again: "Then do you still know how it is fired?"

The craftsmen were stunned. Cracked porcelain was a failure for them. How could it be possible to remember how it was fired?

Liu Tan felt a little regretful when he saw his expression, but he still said: "It's okay, think about it after you go back, if you make such a pattern again in the future, don't ruin it."

After he finished speaking, he hurt the craftsman's money. The craftsman was immediately overwhelmed with great surprise, and quickly knelt down to thank the king of the northern realm.

Liu Tan waved his hand and sighed as he walked, hey, what a pity, the cracks in the ice were all unintentional.

This is to be able to form a stable production process... Hey, wait, if ice cracks can be stably produced, will ice cracks be so precious?

Even if he has the first ice-cracked porcelain in the world, so what?It won't be precious if you wait too long.

For a while, Liu Tan was a little tangled, and finally thought about it, and decided to ask people to explore the firing method.

Anyway, the method is in his hands. If he burns more, he will burn more, and if he burns less, he will burn less. Why worry about not being precious enough?

As for the method of exploration, it is nothing more than worrying about losing it.

The firing methods of porcelain have been lost too much. In fact, not only porcelain, but also the production methods of many things have been lost.

It doesn't matter that some are replaced by more advanced locks, but some make those remaining finished products rare treasures.

Such rare treasures are precious, but in Liu Tan's eyes, it is more important for the method to be passed down.

Let's say it's a cultural inheritance at a big scale, and say it at a low level... lest those bastards in the West say that they are all fake every day, without evidence!

Those who engage in history have been subjected to such anger too much. There are some records, but because there is no finished product and no formula, they are slandered by those villains every day and said it is fake.

When it was unearthed, it was said that it was not ours, so inheritance is really important.

However, all Liu Tan can do is try to get it out and protect it. As for the future, he can't really live for thousands of years, he can only follow the fate.

Liu Tan went back to the kiln while thinking about it.

Making the ice-cracked wine cup such a toss saved him from having to wait anxiously in front of the kiln. Not long after he arrived there, the tableware came out of the oven.

Freshly baked porcelain is just like some descriptions, "with fire". Of course, the so-called fire is actually an adjective, but Liu Tan can't describe what the fire looks like if he really wants to express it.

If I have to say it, it is probably not as gentle as I imagined, but the light is a little brighter.

Such a bright light looks very good on gemstones, but when it comes to porcelain, I always feel that it doesn't match the gentle blue color at all.

However, this kind of "flare" will not last for too long, and it will gradually disappear after a day.

Liu Tan carefully looked at the freshly baked tableware, mainly looking at the landscape paintings on them. If there are any unqualified ones, they need to be remade separately.

After reading everything, he breathed a sigh of relief. Basically, there were no major problems.

There are hundreds of pieces of tableware in all sizes. To be honest, Liu Tan’s hand in the original drawing was almost broken.

If there were really a lot of problems, Liu Tan would have to destroy those few pieces directly or not use them at all.

Anyway, he was the first to get this thing out, and he was also the first to donate it. No one stipulates how many pieces must be donated.

As for other standard tableware... To be honest, no one has presented tableware to the empress before. This thing is too sensitive, and everyone is worried about being suspected.

Who knows if there is any tampering with the tableware?If something is found out, it is really dead without knowing how to die.

That is to say, Liu Tan is very courageous. He has absolutely no reason to poison his parents now.

As far as fighting for the throne, if Liu Che is gone, Liu Ju will be able to succeed immediately, and the one who will benefit is Liu Zheng. Why is he doing these things?

As for Chen Ajiao, he has even less motivation, and Chen Ajiao treats him well.

So no one doubted him, so he dared to do this.

Liu Tan asked someone to bring up the custom-made boxes. He knew that good things need to be packaged well, so the boxes were made of rosewood, with exquisite gold-painted patterns on them.

To be honest, Liu Tan also thought about making this set of tableware consistent with the pattern on the box, but... his arm hurts from painting this set of setware, and the time is too tight, and wood is different from clay, so he simply did it. Stop doing it.

After loading all the tableware into the car, Liu Tan made up his mind, well, thirteen days have passed since Liu Che grounded him.

So he cheerfully asked people to bring this set of tableware and went straight to Weiyang Palace.

At this time, Weiyang Palace was already immersed in joy, because the main building of Weiyang Palace was black, and the various decorations were red, which made the whole Weiyang Palace look solemn and lively.

Liu talked about Weiyang Palace basically never waiting, whether Liu Che is busy or not, he can directly enter Weiyang Palace.

At this moment in Weiyang Palace, Liu Che had just finished discussing the state affairs, and seemed to be chatting with the ministers. When Liu Tan passed by, he took a glance and saw Liu Quyao standing in the front.

Oh, the one standing at the front except the crown prince.

Liu Che looked at Liu Tan calmly: "Are you willing to go out?"

Liu Tan was originally observing the relatives of the clan and the current prime minister, when he heard Liu Che's words, he was shocked, and quickly left everyone behind, ran over to salute and said, "Father, I will give you Brings good stuff."

The subtext is, I'm all about getting things done these days!

Liu Che raised his eyebrows, as if he was not interested: "Oh?"

Liu Tan suddenly had a headache, he was careless, he was too immersed in the pleasure of playing with mud, no, no, it was the pleasure of creation.

After thinking about it behind closed doors, he didn't even come to greet Liu Che. Look, he's starting to be arrogant again.

Liu Tan looked at Liu Che eagerly: "Really, if it doesn't look good, I'll punish Erchen for another three days of confinement."

Liu Che sneered: "Then you won't come out at all?"

"Then how?"

Liu Che saw that he was about to fall into a ball again, and finally said mercifully, "Okay, what have you brought, bring it up."

How could Liu Che not know what Liu Tan was doing recently?

It's just that no matter how much the embroidered clothes envoys say, it's just a description, and most of the embroidered clothes envoys have a mediocre level of education. In order to hide themselves, they basically have to learn all kinds of talents, and they can hardly work hard in cultural classes.

Anyway, these days, even some officials don't read a lot. This is an era when people who are really literate have something to do.

Liu Che was still very curious about what Liu Tan created, but he held back his curiosity.

After the box was pulled to the main hall, Liu Che couldn't help being slightly startled: so big?

Even though he was always stable, seeing Liu Tan make such a big box, he couldn't help leaning forward slightly, and his expression became more serious.

Not only him, but all the top nobles of the Han Empire present. When they saw the box, they knew that the things inside must be very precious. They were also a little curious for a while, what did the King of the North do?

Under the eyes of everyone, the lid of the paint box was slowly opened.
