The reason why Ying Feiyu approached Huang Yuan was to order him to lead people to fire blue and white porcelain in large quantities.

The samples and production process have been handed over to him, and it is estimated that it will be produced in a short time.

As long as the firing is successful once, it will be much easier to do it later!

But the hard part is finding a good painter!

A lot of porcelain can be fired at one time, but the paintings on it must be painted one stroke at a time. Once a mistake is made, the entire piece of porcelain will be useless!

Therefore, the painter must have superb painting skills and rich experience!

This is difficult!

After thinking for a while, Ying Feiyu decided to publish it in the newspaper and spread the word!

As for the rating of painters, it was left to Yu Wenxuan.

Not only does this guy write good articles, he also likes painting. I have seen the paintings he made. They are really good!

"His Royal Highness wants to establish a porcelain factory and recruit painters?"

The common people were holding newspapers and seemed very surprised.

Those children from rich families will encourage their children to read more and write articles, but few will support their children's painting.

I think this is the most useless thing.

If you can neither be an official nor make a living, it is just a waste of time!

If someone's son is a painter and his family is not well-off, then there is basically no need to think about it. He can't even be considered a housewife!

If the family fortune passed down from the ancestors is relatively strong, it would be okay. For the sake of those old wives, there may be girls willing to follow!

That's why people are so surprised when they see recruitment for painters in newspapers.

"I never thought that a painter would have his day!"

"No! Haven't you seen the salary here? Even a low-level painter has a monthly salary of thirty gold, which is higher than the salary of working in a shipyard!"

"Yeah! It's really enviable. Intermediate painters get fifty gold, and senior painters start with one hundred gold. If you do well, you can add more!"

"If I had known this, we would have gone to learn painting!"

"Who says it's not the case! Who knew the painter could be as brilliant as he is today...!"

After seeing the recruitment information in the newspaper, the people were really surprised.

Zhu Laoer, who used to paint portraits for people on the street, could only draw one card a month, which was not even enough to make ends meet. He usually had to rely on relatives and friends for help.

Unexpectedly, after reading the recruitment notice, I went to the recruitment location with the mentality of giving it a try. After some testing, I was directly awarded the position of senior painter, with a monthly salary of 100 gold, and I can also get an advance!

After the news spread, matchmakers from all walks of life crowded into his low thatched house like crazy.

It feels like you have touched honey in your mouth!

It can be said that he is a late bloomer and has great talent. It has long been known that he is not an ordinary person!

Even though he was over thirty years old, the matchmakers introduced girls who were all fifteen or sixteen years old, and even the daughters of wealthy businessmen!

Not to mention the monthly salary, becoming a senior painter will prove that you can meet the prince often in the future.

Once you have a good relationship, isn't it just around the corner to be successful in the future?

In Xianyang City, there are many people with similar experiences to Zhu Laoer.

The painter, who was previously unpopular and often looked down upon by relatives and friends, suddenly became a favorite.

Even those painters who were not selected began to think about setting up a school to teach children how to draw.

From now on, it is estimated that many elders will encourage their children to learn painting and become painters in the future.

Not to mention how famous you are, as long as you can work as a painter in a porcelain workshop!

The monthly salary is higher than that of the prefect, and you don’t have to do those evil things!

But this wave of his operations really confused Ying Zheng.

When the newspaper was delivered to Ying Zheng, it was already after the morning court and he was having breakfast in Yuxiu Palace.

"This guy actually offered such a high salary. Does he have money to burn?"

"Brother Zheng, although Feiyu is young, he has always done things in a systematic way. Since he hired a painter at a high price, he should still have his purpose!"

Lian'er helped Ying Zheng prepare the dishes while speaking for her son.

"Well, that's right! This guy's work has always been puzzling! Take the technical school he established for example! He spent a lot of money and hired many teachers to teach various aspects of knowledge, and even specially invited

Guiguzi was put in charge, but the result was that he recruited people to attend school for free. What was the plan?"

Ying Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

In his eyes, this is money to burn!

"As a mother, I can't understand what Fei Yu is doing, but I guess Fei Yu must have his reasons!"

Lian'er smiled.

"Yeah! That's right, this guy never suffers!"

Ying Zheng nodded, picked up the dishes on the plate, and tasted them carefully.

After two years of getting along with him, he has learned a lesson. Although this kid sometimes behaves strangely, he never suffers!

The production process of blue and white porcelain is not simple, including kneading the embryo, glazing, drawing the blank, drawing lines, applying outer glaze, covering the glaze, filling the kiln, firing the kiln, starting the kiln, cooling, more than a dozen steps, and each step cannot go wrong.

One wrong step and the entire batch will be ruined!

Fortunately, Ying Feiyu is now very wealthy, with five kilns and hundreds of people working at the same time, and the time of each step is recorded.

A month later, the blue and white porcelain was finally successfully developed.

The craftsmen have also mastered the time and skills of every step!

Huang Yuan brought the fired porcelain to Bieyuan with Zhu Laoer and Meng Yi!

"Your Highness, the blue and white porcelain has been fired. Please take a look!"

In Huang Yuan's hand was a beautifully made wooden box, which contained a plate with three chrysanthemums, a small bowl with blue flowers on a white background, and a small wine glass with hooked edges.

These are all painted according to the patterns given by Ying Feiyu.

In addition, there are many other patterns, but they are all blue flowers on a white background, very clean and elegant!

"Well, yes, this porcelain is smooth and delicate, and the painting work is even more exquisite!"

Ying Feiyu took it and observed it carefully for a while, then nodded approvingly.

"Who painted these?"

The exquisite paintings on the porcelain are vivid and full of soul.

It is simply not comparable to the machine operations of later generations!

"Back to Your Highness, the porcelain plate was painted by Wei Chen, and the bowl and cup were painted by Zhu Lao'er!"

Meng Yi, who was behind Huang Yuan, cupped his hands to report.

"Are you from the palace?"

Hearing that he called himself a lower official, Ying Feiyu asked.

"Go back to Your Majesty the Crown Prince, I am the painter in the palace!"

"Yes, Not Bad!"

Ying Feiyu nodded with satisfaction.

The painting skills of the two are comparable, but the palace painter pays more attention to details, while the folk painter pays more attention to the soul. Both of them have their own strengths, and they can't fault each other!

"Your Highness, since this is the first time to fire blue and white porcelain, I don't know if it is qualified, so I didn't let them paint too complicated patterns, and picked a few simple ones to paint on!"

Huang Yuan explained with a smile.

"This batch of porcelain is fired well, just follow this standard in the future!"

"Okay! I will give the order for the craftsmen to mass-produce it!"
Chapter completed!
