If you don’t buy it, the monopoly advantage you had originally planned is gone. If you spent a lot of money before, it would be like you would lose all your money. You will definitely lose money.

But if you buy it, there will be no such large mines in other parts of the world, then... although the Cui family spends more money, at least it still maintains the advantage of monopoly. As long as it can monopolize, the people in the world have to buy the porcelain of the Cui family. Then... the Cui family's advantages are very obvious, it is just the difference between making more money and making less money.

He settled down and said, "Let me find someone to find out the price of the Guanzhong porcelain clay ore. Since this is what the uncles and uncles mean, I have to obey. However, it is not easy to raise the money, so prepare early."

In fact, the porcelain clay ore in Guanzhong has attracted a lot of attention. After all, the ore in Yingzhou was sold at a sky-high price of 10,000 yuan.

But I don’t know how many it will be sold this time.

It is precisely because the porcelain clay mine has attracted the attention of many people, but there are actually many bidders when bidding.

This is because, in the news newspaper, it is also widely publicized that many Hu merchants seem to have great attention to porcelain. Many Hu merchants have begun to want to purchase porcelain. This thing is the only one in the world after all, and the future market prospects can be imagined.

Therefore, the bidding price was even more intense, and the price was even 100,000 yuan.

In the end... the earth ore in Guanzhong was still won by the Cui family.

The Cui family in Qinghe is indeed rich and powerful, which aroused many people's feelings.

It’s just that you have money and have a mine at home, it’s just that it’s amazing.

But the Cui family didn't feel relaxed. After all... it was impossible for a family like the Cui family to have too much cash. On the surface, the two mines spent more than 200,000 yuan, and with other expenses, it had already reached nearly 300,000 yuan.

But in fact, in order to raise cash, I had to rush to sell a lot of property. At this time, the property was urgent and difficult to get rid of, so I could only sell it at a low price.

The Cui family obviously decided that it would be impossible for large mines to appear within three to five years. As long as they can still monopolize the transaction of ceramics, they will definitely be able to recover their capital.

Although everyone outside said that the Cui family was rich and powerful after buying this mine, the Cui family was not happy. I don’t know how many people had insomnia that night.

But at this time, a ship of porcelain was transported to the Chen family by water.

Boxes of porcelain were moved off the boat. After that, Chen Zhengtai was very excited to ask someone to carry the box of porcelain to the palace.

I have been worried recently. Li Shimin is not in a good mood in these days. When he heard that Chen Zhengtai came to give gifts, he couldn't help but feel curious.

So I asked someone to summon Chen Zhengtai in.

"Princess Sui'an is pregnant. If you are not at home, why are you going to me all day long?"

"Because the one whom I am most concerned about is Your Majesty." Chen Zhengtai smiled with a hint of disgust.

Li Shimin: “…”

Li Shimin discovered that behind Chen Zhengtai, Crown Prince Li Chengqian also sneaked in. Seeing Li Chengqian tiptoe, Li Shimin couldn't help but glar at him.

There is no standing appearance, there is no sitting appearance.

Li Shimin was too lazy to scold him, so he looked at Chen Zhengtai and said, "I heard that you have a big gift for me?"

"That's right." Chen Zhengtai said seriously: "I have someone make a set of porcelain and offer it to His Majesty."

Although there are few porcelains on the market now, for Li Shimin, there are a lot of porcelains in the palace. At first, they were very interested, but now they are in a dim mood!

However, he had always known that Chen Zhengtai would not do something for no reason, so he became a little more interested, but he deliberately said: "It's just porcelain, what's the difference?"

Li Chengqian interrupted, "You will know after seeing it."

As he said that, an eunuch came with a porcelain bottle.

Li Shimin looked up slightly and looked from afar. When he saw this, he couldn't help but be moved.

Obviously, this porcelain is indeed a bit different from the porcelain in the palace. From a distance, this porcelain is like mutton fat jade, with a particularly good color.

Li Shimin's eyes slightly opened and he said in surprise: "Isn't this a jade bottle?"

From a distance, it really looks like jade. This porcelain bottle has no impurities on the surface, at least for porcelain in this era, it is unimaginable.

Li Shimin stepped forward step by step, and the porcelain bottle was getting closer and closer, but even if you looked closely, you could hardly see any flaws. Moreover, the glaze surface was particularly eye-catching and ingenious.

"Is this a fine craft?" Li Shimin nodded, then looked at Chen Zhengtai and said, "You are intent."

Such a porcelain bottle is really the best, and even if it is used in the palace, it is very different from it.

However, Li Shimin was not too surprised. After all, he was the emperor, and the imperial objects used by the emperor were the best.

When it comes to Li Shimin's words, Chen Zhengtai smiled and shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is usually made. There are many porcelains like this here."

Li Shimin was stunned and couldn't help but say, "It's usually made? This is..."

"Last year, Erchen discovered a large amount of porcelain clay in Changnan Town, Xinping County, West Jiangnan Road. You said it was a coincidence that there was a wharf near the origin of this porcelain clay. Of course, it was fine, so Erchen opened a kiln to make ceramics there. Who would have thought... Erchen himself would not believe this."

Chen Zhengtai looked exaggerated, but Li Shimin was only anxious to know the future, so he stared at him and said, "Pick up important words."

Chen Zhengtai smiled and continued, "How could he know that the porcelain fired from Nanzhen in Nachang was ingenious? Later, through the craftsmen, he learned that the porcelain clay there was extremely high quality, and the locals called it kaolin..."

In fact, Chen Zhengtai forgot to say that Changnan Town is actually Jingdezhen in later generations, and kaolin is almost synonymous with Jingdezhen porcelain clay. So in later generations, in order to distinguish kaolin from ordinary porcelain clay, this porcelain clay, which is a place name, was specially named Gaoling.

In later generations, kaolin was almost synonymous with top porcelain.

Chen Zhengtai continued: "It is not only because of the terrible quality of the porcelain clay. Erchen also found that the water there and the porcelain made there were almost no impurities. So... Erchen built a kiln in Changnan Town and cultivated a group of craftsmen. In the past few days, the first batch of mass-produced porcelain was delivered to Chang'an. Erchen thought that if there were good things, he should give them to Your Majesty immediately, so... he hurriedly sent them over."

Chen Zhengtai just mentioned many things. In fact, there are still many commendable water quality. The water in Changnan Town is simply produced by the manufacture of porcelain. Ordinary water must contain trace minerals, so anywhere in the world, if someone boils water, the boiled water will definitely remain scale at the bottom of the kettle.

But the water source in Changnan Town is that even if you take an iron kettle, get water from there, and boil it for ten years, the bottom of the kettle will be clean and without scale.

Minerals may also be beneficial to the human body. After all, trace minerals are mineral water.

But this mineral-containing water is a disaster for burning paper ceramics. If porcelain is flawless, it must ensure purity. A large amount of minerals are mixed in kaolin to make a blank, and when fired, it will be full of flaws.
