Lao Qiu was impatient to make cloisonné, and of course gifts were just one of the reasons. When Lao Qiu came to the Special Administrative Region, he seemed to have been on the second place in the Time Travel Group, but behind the scenery, Lao Qiu actually felt a little uneasy.

At this moment, Lao Qiu's role in the Time Travel Group is roughly equivalent to the Executive Vice President. In the short term, it seems that no other Time Travelers can shake their status for the time being. Han Huanzhang is just the nominal leader of the "returnee" and is actually nothing. Just because he is ruthless, no one will pee at him. Besides, he is still far away in the Isthmus of Kra, so no one is challenging Lao Qiu's position as the second-place leader.

However, after arriving in Kaohsiung, especially recently, Lao Qiu discovered some signs when he proposed to formulate a three-year plan. As soon as this sign appeared, Lao Qiu felt a sense of crisis.

What kind of sense of crisis? That is because after a benign interaction between the crossing of the border, some key consensus was agreed upon. It should be pointed out that in the process of reaching these consensus, Lao Qiu's organizational communication role should not be mentioned too much. However, the primary focus of the consensus of the crossing of the time is to climb the technology tree first.

Time travelers are not unheard of enthusiasm for political reform, but Mao Geng's previous design has already made it impossible for political reform to go too far, that is, to draw a piece of special zone to create a test field, just to try the waters to see if it can have a demonstration effect. After all, the special zone is still under the rule of the Song Dynasty and cannot be too radical in politics.

It is good to have a red line in politics, but there is no economic framework. This is the case with Emperor Xiaozong of Song Dynasty. He encouraged trade and handicrafts in the economy and spared no effort to develop the private economy. In addition to several national monopoly industries that have always been the source of wealth for the imperial court, such as salt, wine, and tea, the economy of the Song Dynasty was still quite free at this time.

Since there is high economic freedom, it is natural for travelers to make a big fuss about economic development. Developing the economy is nothing more than two aspects of trade and industrialization. In fact, trade is not much more wise than traditional merchants in the Song Dynasty. Industrialization is serious.

If you don’t climb the science and technology tree, you will definitely be sprayed to death on the forums of later generations. It is light to put the hat of a historical sinner. Industrialization is the foundation of a strong country, which is common sense in later generations. Climbing the science and technology tree is the foundation of industrialization. If you don’t climb the science and technology tree, where will industrialization come from? The 22 people from the Southern Song Dynasty traveled to the Southern Song Dynasty were all very rational, and they had no objection to prioritizing the science and technology tree.

Chief Mao, the highest leader of the journey through the line, is of course very good at climbing the science and technology tree. Later, many of them learned science and engineering from many people from time to time. Some of them did not understand theory but had factory experience and were also technical experts in a certain field. Soon they found their own direction. At this moment, they all got into their own roles, each setting up their own stoves and presided over scientific and technological projects in a certain direction! Then Lao Qiu found that he immediately became a logistics person, because he didn't know any technology, and he didn't have anything to do at all. He was a person who was engaged in art, steelmaking, machinery, chemical engineering, etc., and we really didn't know much about it!

Will the days be marginalized? You can imagine that it is certain. After some people emerge in a certain industry, they will naturally have to start a stall. Once they have a great fortune, will they still take Lao Qiu, the person in charge of logistics seriously? Do you want me, Lao Qiu, to go to the Song Dynasty to get involved in officialdom? This is not the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, everyone has the opportunity to rise to power. For example, Koreans like Gao Xianzhi can be the general, but there is no such precedent in the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, while Lao Qiu was using his administrative talents, he also had the dream of climbing the science and technology tree and had to do a project himself. We must not let people who travel through time look down upon it.

Therefore, Lao Qiu took advantage of the excuse of giving a high-end gift to the court and proposed the cloisonne project.

Then it inspired Mao Geng.

The glaze layer was applied on the copper material and then fired into mixed materials. The history was a bit long. It is said that it originated in Rome, spread to Dashi (that is, Persia) in the 6th and 7th century, and was spread to China during the Song and Yuan dynasties. However, China was able to truly make mature enamel crafts until the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty.

Later, Europe developed iron base enamel products based on copper enamel products. It was already the 19th century. The base material was cast iron, and the quality of cast iron enamel was of course unreliable. So the technology was later upgraded and it became stamped and then coated with glaze. The firing enamel products became very high-end. Even for more than a hundred years, enamel products have become popular. All cups, bowls, and pots are basically enamel products. In terms of rust prevention, the anti-rust performance of enamel products is unparalleled, and it is also white and smooth. It can print out various bright fancy patterns, integrating the advantages of iron and porcelain. It is a perfect anti-rust solution, not to mention the additional added value.

Therefore, for more than a hundred years, enamel products were popular all over the world, and in the decades before the 1980s, it was even more popular. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a must-have for traveling at home.

It was not until stainless steel and plastic products became popular that the market for enamel products gradually shrank.

Lao Qiu was the secretary-general in an art circle in his previous life. There was a guy in the circle who made order-type cloisonne crafts. Lao Qiu observed the whole process many times and also made several pieces under his guidance. Therefore, he mastered this technology in sloppy.

Mao Gengxin said that the technical threshold for enamel products should not be too high. First of all, they must be able to stamp or mold steel. We have already had the ability to prepare glaze. As for preparing glaze, tell Zhu Xuanqing and Zhu Xuanbai, the two brothers, they can definitely match them for you.

When Mao Geng talks about enamel products and the principles, Lao Qiu said, Chief Executive Mao, cloisonne and enamel products should not be separated as two projects. There is no need to waste resources. Just merge them into one project. Let me be my Lao Qiu responsible for this. Chief Executive Mao, you, the highest leader, is too busy. If you don’t understand, please give me some guidance. I will take charge of it in full and ensure that you can do it well.

Mao Geng thought to himself that compared to steelmaking, shipbuilding, steam engines, and chemical engineering, although enamel is important, it is not as good as those. Since Lao Qiu is enthusiastic, he agreed happily. The time travelers are now just a little bit, with high intellectual resources, almost all of them are specialized and capable of having multiple abilities. Lao Qiu plays a guest-star project manager, which is reasonable.

After struggling for several days, Lao Qiu took out a few samples.

Lao Qiu was very excited, so he immediately picked two exquisite ones and sent them to Zhao Han. There was one factor in showing off, and there was also a way to see Zhao Han's evaluation.

During this period, Lao Qiu often went to and from Zhao Yan's headquarters. Zhao Yan was in the study at this moment. When he suddenly saw two novel things that Lao Qiu brought, he was immediately excited.

Lao Qiu said that he had been busy with firing these days, and only now did he fiddle with a few decent enamel products. He immediately brought them over and asked the Duke to point out the shortcomings.

"Mr. Qiu, this is your craft. It's really extraordinary. I didn't expect that Mr. Qiu can not only draw well, but also make such exquisite objects!"

Zhao Han played with the cloisonne pot. The pot was carved with exquisite reliefs, which took Lao Qiu a lot of effort. Lao Qiu had practiced some sculptures and had some experience in the shape. With the gorgeous cloisonne texture, it was beautiful. Lao Qiu was very proud of Zhao Han's praise.

"Duke, look, how about this white enamel utensil?"

Lao Qiu did not throw out the word "enamel", but used the historical "enamel".

"Well, it's pretty good, but it's not as beautiful as this one."

"Your Majesty, this white enamel is more useful."

"Is that so? Tell me."

Lao Qiuxin said that after all, he was a rich second generation and a rich N generation. He was simply not aware of the goods. No, Zhao Han was still aware of the goods for cloisonne, but I have to tell you that the practicality of cloisonne is really limited, and real enamel products are what the Song Dynasty needs.

Let’s talk about it from another perspective:

"Duke, this white enamel can be used as a armor. Didn't Chief Executive Mao make a kind of plate armor before? A layer of enamel on the steel plate armor will not rust, it is extremely beautiful, and it is more resistant to sword-killing. You can also print a big "Song" character on the white enamel armor, which is even more extraordinary. In short, it is both practical and beautiful. I will make two pairs of enamel white armor the next day, and the duke will like it when he sees it."

Lao Qiu is worthy of being an artist. He always subconsciously pursues visual effects in his bones. Just like that, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty may not have to wear white armor made of enamel. But Lao Qiu said this inadvertently, the consequence was that "white armored soldiers" actually appeared in the Song Dynasty. Damn! The white armored soldiers are the first-class elite unique to "I, the Qing Dynasty", and they actually appeared in the Song Dynasty. The effect is really not a big deal. Some people have verified that this creativity is due to the three thousand white armored soldiers led by King Li Shimin of Qin.

Zhao Yan didn't understand how to be sharp, but turned around and asked:

"Is this also a project in the SAR's three-year development plan?"

"Not bad!" Lao Qiuxin said that this was a new project that had just been squeezed into the three-year plan. Hehe, as the main member of the three-year plan, we have had some private work this time. Of course, Chief Executive Mao also voted in favor.

"The three-year plan is so organized! Mr. Qiu was originally overseas, so did he make a plan in three years?" Should we, the Song Dynasty, also behave in accordance with the same situation, and the Heavenly Dynasty, also look very organized, Zhao Han thought so.

Lao Qiuxin said that the future generations would be a five-year plan, and now he had to make a three-year plan, which was forced to do so.

How to answer?

Lao Qiu thought about it and said:

"There are also such plans there, but not three years, but five years. When we return to the Song Dynasty, we are eager to serve the Song Dynasty. We have to seize the day and hope that the five years will be shortened to three years to complete. We sincerely hope that the Duke will understand it!"

Lao Qiu showed off his own tricks and found a reason for being glorious.

But unexpectedly, Zhao Han asked another question.
Chapter completed!
