Jiulong wall building is not an ordinary project, it is more exquisite and difficult. You must find highly skilled people. The Minister of Engineering chose a craftsman named Ma Dechun. This glazed tile has been fired in Ma Dechun for more than ten years, with exquisite craftsmanship. On the third day, he selected dozens of craftsmen to start work. Before starting work, he told the craftsman the requirements for firing colored glazed tiles.
He said: "The material ratio and temperature for firing colored glazed tiles are very particular. If the master is not good, firing a finished glass must pay ten wasted prices. " Everyone should pay more attention to ensuring that no mistakes are made. "Then he took them to work. They burned hard for 749 days and finally finished.
On the day of installation, people came and went in front of the palace, and craftsmen were busy in an orderly way. Suddenly, a loud bell startled Ma Dechun. When he came to the scene of the accident, a small craftsman stood there, staring at the broken glazed tile.
Ma Deshun carefully put pieces of glazed tiles together, looked at them carefully and whispered to the craftsmen around him, "I can't tell anyone about this. Anyone who leaks a word will have a death curse! "
On the way home, Ma Dexun's heart was high above him. It is too late for him to rekindle glazed tiles, and the crime of delaying the construction period is unbearable, but another idea is to remedy it and risk blasphemy against the monarch! Seeing that it would be finished in a few days, he threw his heart across and rushed over like a dead man.
After returning home, he drank tea and didn't think about eating. No matter who can see it, he goes to the barn alone, blocks the doors and windows, and quietly makes a glazed tile.
The news of the completion of the Nine Dragon Wall reached the emperor in time. The next day, Qianlong took several ministers to see it. As soon as I entered Xiqingmen, I saw the majestic Kowloon Wall. A closer look shows that these nine dragons are lifelike and really similar.
Emperor Qianlong suddenly felt that everything was bright and could not be praised.
