Chapter 298 White General (two-in-one chapter)(1/2)

"The kiln has been opened, the kiln has been opened!"

With the shouts, the door of the dragon kiln was smashed open directly. Then a group of villagers carefully moved the kiln tools out.

Ji Le stood at the end of the dragon kiln and directed the villagers to carry them from the dragon mouth. "Put those big items first, put them in the back, and you can move out the small items at the door first. Especially those dishes are most likely to be broken, so be careful. Also, if there are any scraps with broken mouths or surface cracks, put them aside first. Wait - put on fire jackets and then go in, be careful of burns."

After losing contact with Mother Earth, Ji Le temporarily put down his worries about Xia Kingdom and devoted his energy to the Taoyuan village in front of him.

Hua Tuo and the three elders were asked to choose the envoys to the Xia Kingdom, but the three elders were unable to make a decision. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ji Le communicated with the villagers, and soon got along with the villagers and took the lead in pulling the villagers to make porcelain.

Ji Le chose celadon because the soil nearby is only suitable for making celadon.

Soon, the villagers brought out the celadon from the first section of the dragon kiln.

"My brother of the Ji family has counted it out. In the first section, there are ten sets of porcelain bowls, twenty dragon ring jars, three crane-mouth long-neck pots, and four dragon kiss water jars..."

Ji Le jumped off from the upper end of the dragon kiln and picked up a dragon ring jar to check it out.

The biggest feature of celadon is its bright color and as clear as jade. The dragon ring jar in Ji Le's hand is as big as a beast's head, with a green peak. The body of the jar has dragon carving patterns, and the overall dignified and elegant.

"No, not bad. This porcelain jar is good." Ji Le picked up the porcelain bowl next to him again. There were four sets of porcelain bowls, and the bowl was painted with four gentlemen patterns such as plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.

An old man in his fifties next to him smiled and said, "Thanks to the help of the young man this time, otherwise we would not be able to make such exquisite porcelain. I think the imperial objects of the Emperor of the Beigong are just like this, right?"

"Hehe..." Ji Le said smugly, "Even the Han emperor can't enjoy the porcelain I drew by myself." After seeing this set of Four Gentlemen's bowls, he went to the side to look at the long-necked bottle of crane beak. Two cranes soared with lucidum on the body of the bottle, symbolizing the blessings of immortality.

In addition, this batch of porcelain also has three friends in the cold year, five blessings, six livestock prosperity, and hundreds of seeds.

"I can't tell, I still know how to draw porcelain?" A kiln worker came over. "The guy knows kilns well, and those who don't know think they are really experts in this art."

There were only two or three kiln workers among this group of ancestors who fled. After traveling for a year, they resumed the production of ceramics. The craftsmanship was extremely rough and they could not "paint porcelain" at all. They could only fire some ordinary pottery and crude porcelain.

But Ji Le came forward to help, not only painting on some celadons, but also using carving and hollowing to make many hollow trays and vases.

"I learned it casually before. After all, I like painting, so I specially studied porcelain painting."

At this time, the kilns in the second section of the Dragon Kiln were also taken out. They were all civilian utensils, but there were no things painted by Ji Le in this batch. After all, for celadon, it is still very important to maintain the original natural beauty, and the warm and static state of the whole are still very important.

It was shipped out in batches, and when he saw the last batch of porcelain, he showed disappointment.

"Tsk—"

The last batch of kilns was his attempt, because the porcelain he wanted to make the most was thin-body porcelain. But after it was released from the kiln, all the porcelain in the mud bowl was cracked into pieces.

"Sure enough, the technology is still not up to standard."

Thin body porcelain is as thin as a cicada's wing and as crystal clear as jade. When lighting it, the thin body wall exudes a hazy halo to the outside, which is most suitable for making a lampshade, but this is also one of Ji Le's favorite porcelains.

However, the technical requirements for thin-body porcelain are very high. Not to mention Taoyuan Village, even the current celadon, black porcelain and white porcelain craftsmanship of Xia Kingdom cannot be produced.

"Do you still need to study 'shadow porcelain' first?"

China has been passed down for thousands of years, and sometimes too rich culture can bring about a happy trouble.

Many cultures have reappeared in another world. Although they can greatly shorten the process of civilization for thousands of years, if you want to climb the skill tree, it will affect the whole body. You must first lay a solid foundation and suppress the restless mood and slowly develop.

"If you develop the ceramic industry, you may not be able to reach the level of your previous life and modern life within a hundred years."

According to Ji Le's idea, we first made more basic celadon and white porcelain. Then we developed into blue and white porcelain, pastel porcelain, and of course, exquisite porcelain and thin-body porcelain are indispensable.

After chatting with several kiln workers for a while, Ji Le returned to the medicine house with two sets of tea sets and bowls. He happened to see Bai Qi playing chess with Hua Tuo.

"Yo——Why is Yuanhua Gong still interested in playing chess if he doesn't discuss the candidate with the three elders?"

"The candidates have been found long ago, but they have repeatedly pondered and hesitated. The old man is too lazy to mess with them."

Are they all made up of men or men and women? Should they bring some couples?

The three elders thought about it repeatedly and changed the list several times. In addition, many villagers wanted to go out and rushed to sign up and kept lobbying for the three elders, making it even more difficult for them to make decisions.

"But the candidate for the team has been decided, and he is called Sun Boyu. His father was the coach of Luoyang, and he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Unfortunately, his mother was killed by deserters in troubled times. He was furious and killed someone to take revenge."

"And then run away with you?"

"good."

Sun Boyu?

Gongsun Qi lowered his head and restrained the murderous intent in his eyes.

So here? Ah--and right, it started here. This person must die! Although there is no bad thing at the moment, in the future...

He tapped on the chessboard and thought about how to remove this person without any trace.

Ji Le thought for a while, "What is his relationship with Zi Yigong?"

Sun Ziyi is one of the three elders in the village. His surname is Sun and his courtesy name is Ziyi.

"The distant uncle came over. Seeing that he was extremely brave, Brother Ziyi took him to escape with him, which was convenient for dealing with deserters on the road."

Ji Le nodded, "Since the captain is chosen, you might as well go and listen to his meaning. After all, a team of envoys go to Xia Kingdom, don't have internal strife by yourself-"

"Ji Le? Do you want to come over and play chess together!" Bai Qi interrupted Ji Le's words.

Sure enough, Ji Le's attention was distracted and he looked at the chessboard in front of the two of them.

"Liuboqi?" Ji Le lay on the table and looked at it for a while, shook his head and said, "I'm not good at playing this kind of thing."

Liubo Chess was a popular game chess during the Warring States Period and was also popular in the Han Dynasty. There were also special Boshi and imperial officials in the Western Han Dynasty who played chess with the emperor and studied chess skills.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liubo Chess gradually declined, especially during the chaos in the world during the period of Emperor Huanling and the Second Emperors, how many people could play chess with peace of mind?

Hua Tuo only dabbled in this chess, and was killed by Bai Qi so much that he threw away his armor.

The old man shook the chessboard randomly and said with a smile, "It's okay, Brother Ji Le can come here to try it."

"Forget it, Liuboqi is a thing. If Wu'anjun is really interested, he will definitely play it after returning to Xia Kingdom."

During the Western Han Dynasty, Liubo Chess was popular in the palace. Emperors such as Wen, Jing, Wu and Xuan all liked this, but it was strange that Huo Qubing could not do it.

"Champion Hou?" Hua Tuo nodded constantly, "Yes, Liubo Chess is known as the military strategy Chess. If he is a famous general like Champion Hou, he will definitely fight with Wu'an Jun."

Oh? Is it?

Wu'anjun's mouth was filled with an invisible smile.

"I'm afraid he will cry when he plays chess with me."

It's not that I haven't done it, but the result is...haha...

Ji Le stared at the chessboard and thought for a while, and suddenly tapped her left palm gently with her right hand, "This is how I teach Wu'anjun, you play chess."

Hua Tuo "chess?"

"Come on, I'll teach you!" Ji Le suddenly became interested. The young man rolled up his sleeves and directed Bai Qi to carve chess pieces. According to the standards and regulations of later generations, he created a standard Chinese chess set.

"Some people say that chess is derived from Liubo chess, which is also a tradition. Don't worry, with Wu'anjun's chess power, chess is not difficult to learn."

Bai Qi smiled slightly and silently carved thirty-two chess pieces for chess. He carved a miniature wooden carving the size of a thumb according to generals, soldiers, elephants, horses, chariots, cannons and pawns.

"Huh?" Ji Le originally wanted Bai Qi to engrave words on the chess piece, but Bai Qi's carving method looked a bit similar to chess.

"Forget it, that's OK. I'll teach you the rules."

"Okay." Bai Qi put on an active attitude and listened to Ji Le explaining the way to play chess.

"The chess pieces are imitated in the military system, and according to different levels, the chess pieces have different abilities. Each type of chess piece has its own way of moving..."

Before he knew it, the young man in Bai Qi's eyes overlapped with another young man.

"Anyway, I'm free, so how do I teach you how to play chess? Well... write down the rules and don't worry, you can guarantee that you can learn it within three days."

The same enthusiasm and enthusiasm are the same. But the boy in front of him is younger.

"After all, the body shrinks and you cannot restore your original body without getting the torch. And..."

If you cut off the ties with the torch for a long time, Ji Le will probably truly get rid of the shackles of the national spirit.

"Wu'an Jun? Wu'an Jun..."

Ji Le called out a few times before Bai Qi came to his senses.

"What, are the rules difficult?"

"No, it's nothing, you'll know in the next game." Bai Qi looked at the chess piece "Hei General Hong Shuai, you first."

Perhaps it was because Chinese chess was related to military exercises, so Bai Qi got started quickly and could be hard to distinguish with Ji Le in the first game.

Ji Le's eyelids twitched violently, and he vaguely thought of the dark history dominated by a friend. Could this Wu'an Jun be another chess genius, right?

He forced a smile, "The general is worthy of being a master of military strategy, and he can actually take the lead in my chess style."

Compared to Huo Qubing spending several months trying to figure out his chess path, Bai Qi can understand his chess path from the beginning, find out his own layout and make countermeasures.

When the two played chess, it was impossible to tell that Bai Qi was a novice.

"It should be related to me learning similar chess games? After all, I am also an old chess player."

Well, the rumors about Liubo Chess are involved with chess, maybe it is the reason here?

Ji Le was confused in his heart, and accepted Gongsun Qi's explanation.

There are thirty-two words of chess, each with sixteen, which is much more complicated than the six sons of each of Liubo Chess, and it involves strategies and countermeasures. Hua Tuo looked at it for a while and then his eyes were blurred and he left with excuses.

After Hua Tuo left, Bai Qi said, "How is your situation?"
