Chapter 310: The medicinal jade is fragile

Ang Lee had already built a vertical plane mirror yesterday that was taller than an ordinary person, but the first large mirror was given to his wife Yan Ruyu by Ang Lee. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Such a good thing, of course Li An has to take care of his wife first, even if Li Longji is the emperor, he can only rely on the back row.

"Can Li Shilang really make a one-person-tall medicinal jade mirror?"

"Your Majesty, how dare Weichen talk nonsense, early tomorrow morning, Your Majesty can send someone to the south of the city fifteen miles, to prepare a big car, and to put on a futon to prevent the medicine jade from breaking."

Li An replied confidently, and directly asked Li Longji to send someone to go over early the next morning to pick it up.

"I can do it early tomorrow morning, okay, Li Shilang is worthy of being the pillar of my Tang Dynasty, don't worry! I don't care about your medicinal jade wealth, but Li Shilang must provide all the needs of the palace. ”

Li Longji seemed very happy, and immediately agreed to Li An's request, and he knew that Li An's inventions and creations would cost a lot of resources and wealth, and if Li An was very poor, it would seriously restrict his ability to invent and create, which would be a very huge loss to the entire Datang.

"Your Majesty Xie, Wechen will definitely be able to guarantee that there will be no shortage of medicinal jade in the palace, and your Majesty has something to ask for, just send someone to inform Wechen, Wechen will definitely do his best to do it, but sometimes it takes a little time."

Ang Lee assured.

Li Longji nodded and asked, "How did Li Shilang discover the formula for making medicinal jade this time, could it be another accident!" There is also the movable type printing and pinyin, I feel more and more that Li Shilang seems to have learned from a master outside the world. ”

"Huh! His Majesty laughed, if Weichen Aweng is also a master, then Weichen has really learned from a master. ”

Ang Lee replied with a smile.

"I know that Li Shilang still has a lot of strange things to study, so I won't delay Li Shilang's time, tomorrow morning, I will send someone to fetch the medicinal jade mirror."

Li Longji waved his hand and asked Li An to retreat.

"Wechen retired."

Li An slowly withdrew from the Xuanzheng Palace, preparing to go straight to the processing factory fifteen miles outside the city to continue to make medicinal jade mirrors.

"Li Shilang."

Li Yu and Li Yu didn't go far, so they hid next to the Xuanzheng Palace, and Li An came out and hurriedly came up.

"What's wrong with you, you haven't gone back to rest yet."

"Li Shilang, Your Majesty took our mirror, it seems that it will not be returned to us."

Li Li's expression was slightly disappointed, and Li Yu looked even more resentful.

"What do you two think? Follow me, you're still afraid that you won't have a medicinal jade mirror to play with, and if you don't show off everywhere, will Your Majesty know? Remember, be low-key and don't be too public, otherwise you will definitely suffer. ”

Li An glanced at the two of them, and said with a straight face.

"That's right! Let's study with Li Shilang in the future, are we still afraid that there will be no medicine jade mirror? By the way, tomorrow morning, you can see the telescope, Xiao Wang is really looking forward to it! ”

Li Yu turned his anger into joy and said happily, Li Yu was also happy when he heard that he could see the telescope early tomorrow morning.

They prefer telescopes to Yaoyu plane mirrors, after all, they are all boys and like to see things farther away, while only girls like vanity mirrors.

"Alright, you go back and get some rest, and we'll look at the telescope tomorrow."

Ang Lee smiled and strode away.

Li Yu and Li Li looked at each other and smiled, turned around and went to Baisun Courtyard.

At noon, Li An arrived at the processing factory outside the city, and the blast furnace for refining medicinal jade had already burned the hot liquid medicinal jade, and after a simple meal, Li An and the craftsmen worked together to pour the medicinal jade liquid into the template, and used the copper base that had been prepared long ago to make the medicinal jade mirror.

Because the volume of the blast furnace is not particularly large, this furnace can only make two vertical large mirrors, in addition, there are some small dresser mirrors, as for the hand-held small mirrors, they are made dozens of them in one go, and in addition, there are no more.

While waiting for the medicinal jade to cool down, Li Ang asked the craftsmen to continue adding materials to the blast furnace and refining another furnace of medicinal jade to increase the output.

"Li Shilang, medicine jade is a rare item in the Tang Dynasty! If it is sold, it must be in short supply, and a blast furnace is not enough, isn't it? ”

The craftsman is telling the truth, there are a lot of rich people in Chang'an City, and the demand for medicinal jade must be very huge, and close to a blast furnace, manufacturing day and night, can not meet the demand of the market at all, especially after these craftsmen saw the medicinal jade mirror made by Li An, they felt that this thing would sell well in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Of course, craftsmen are also selfish, and if they build a few more blast furnaces, they will have more work and more wages.

"Well, build nine more blast furnaces here and increase the output tenfold."

Li An arrogantly ordered that he wanted to increase the production capacity of Yaoyu, not just to make more money, but to have a lot of plans, and Yaoyu was indeed very needed, for example, the mansion had so many windows, and how bright it was to replace Yaoyu, but it was in great demand.

In addition, the manufacture and improvement of the train carriage is also in progress, the silk of the train carriage is too thin, it is okay to make curtains, but it is not good to make windows, in the future, the newly built carriage must be made of medicinal jade, in addition, the window of the carriage can also be replaced by medicinal jade, so that the people who ride the carriage can enjoy the scenery outside.

The cooled mirror was carefully examined by Li An, and after confirming that there was no problem, he asked the craftsman to put it in the next room to wait for the emperor to send someone to pick it up the next morning.

The craftsmen were working hard to refine the second furnace of medicinal jade, and Li An used this time to enter the room where the steam engine was developed, and according to the memories of later generations, he guided a group of skilled craftsmen to develop the steam engine, and drew a large number of drawings, so that the craftsmen could look at the drawings every day and find inspiration for improvements.

Although he doesn't know when he will be able to achieve success, Li An believes that he will always succeed, and once the steam engine is successful, the next step can be to manufacture a steam locomotive, so that the level of material transportation in Datang will be greatly improved.

In the evening, the second furnace of medicinal jade was all made, and this furnace of medicinal jade was all made into thin squares to be used as windows for the mansion.

With a large cart of medicinal jade, Li An returned to the mansion of Daye Fang, and after entering the mansion, asked the servants of the mansion to start installing glass for themselves.

"Madame, you won't look in the mirror for a day! I don't love beauty so much! ”

Li An returned to the bedroom and saw that Yan Ruyu was still in front of the big mirror, admiring his appearance back and forth.

"Husband is back! Look at my new haircut today, whether it looks good or not. ”

Yan Ruyu smiled and threw a wink at Li An.

"Pretty, of course pretty, my wife is the first beauty in the world, no matter what pattern she combs, she will always be the most beautiful, there is no need to doubt this."

Of course, Ang Lee is going to coax his wife.

"The husband will coax people."

"If the truth is coaxing, then it's good to coax."

Li An said cheekily.

"Hehehe......"

"Click......"

Hearing only a crisp sound, a piece of medicinal jade was smashed, and it also caused a lot of commotion.

"What's the matter, are you blind? Let you be careful, you are still so frizzy, do you know how expensive the medicine jade is? ”

Zhao Liu's scolding voice followed.

"What's the matter, is the medicine jade broken?"

Li An strode out of the bedroom and saw a piece of medicinal jade falling on the ground, and there were a lot of blood stains.

"Who's hurt?"

"Ah Lang, I'm sorry, I accidentally broke the medicine jade."

Li An sighed: "It's okay, go down and see the injury!" ”

"Husband, although this medicinal jade is good, it is too dangerous, why don't you replace it with window paper!"

Seeing that the ground was full of medicinal jade residue and bloodstains, Yan Ruyu felt a little scared.

Li An sighed and said softly: "Zhao Liu, go back and rest!" Throw away all the rest of the medicinal jade! ”

"Ah Lang, how can you throw away such a good thing?"

"If you want to throw it away, you will throw it away, where is so much nonsense, go quickly."

Ang Lee gave a stern order and stepped back to the bedroom.

Glass is too fragile and dangerous, and if it is not improved, it is very dangerous to install it in windows.

Li An felt that the glass must be improved, so that the glass is not easy to break, that is, the tempered glass of later generations, and the principle of tempered glass does not seem to be very high, but before the glass is formed, the cold air is used to let it cool quickly, so as to produce prestress inside the glass.

The manufacture of tempered glass does not seem to be very difficult, Ang Lee decided to give it a try, and told Yan Ruyu that he would make better and stronger medicinal jade to use for windows.

Of course, because in the manufacturing process, the tempered glass will shrink, so the surface will inevitably not be very flat, therefore, there is no way to make the mirror of the tempered glass, so the mirror needs to be well protected and cannot be touched with hard objects.

Before going to bed, Ang Lee had been thinking about how to improve the process to make tempered glass, while Yan Ruyu was busy admiring herself in the mirror, so that no one noticed anyone, they were in the same room with each other, but no one felt depressed.

Li An, who was lying on the bed, was busy thinking about tempered glass, and actually forgot to pamper Yan Ruyu, and Yan Ruyu was also in the excitement stage of playing with the mirror, and he didn't care too much about it.

Early in the morning of the second day, Li An hurried to the south of the city fifteen miles, when Li An arrived, Li Yu and Li Li had already arrived one step earlier, and sat on the railroad track to nibble on cucumbers.

"Yes, you can think of me every time, enough brother."

Li An smiled, it is said that their seniority is the same, but they can be regarded as brothers.

"Li Shilang, the telescope should be ready!"

Li Yu was the first to finish eating the cucumber and asked eagerly.

"Well, it should be done! I'll give you a taste of it later. ”

Li Ang responded while eating cucumbers.

"Li Shilang, the little slave is late, Your Majesty asked me to come over and get the mirror."

As soon as Li An finished eating the cucumber, Yu Chaoen arrived with a large group of people.

"Oh, the fish envoy actually came to fetch it himself."

"There's no way, Your Majesty attaches great importance to the mirror that Li Shilang said, and if you don't feel at ease when you hand it over to others, you let the little slave come."

Yu Chaoen said with a smile, showing off.

"It seems that the fish envoy is highly valued by His Majesty, congratulations!"

"Where, where, the little slave is just a slave, and Li Shilang is the person His Majesty values, oh, by the way, yesterday, the lady heard that Li Shilang would make a one-person-high mirror this morning, that happy! The little minion is shallow in learning, and he doesn't know what to say, hehe! ”

Yu Chaoen said with a smile, due to the gradual improvement of Li An's status and ability, he can only call himself a little slave in front of Li An now, and he is called a very natural one.

"Haha! The fish is given, the mirrors are ready, you look at it first, and then carefully load the car, go and don't break it, this thing is fragile and squeamish. ”

"Understood, understood, you all listened well, be careful with me later, and handle it gently."

Yu Chaoen said, followed behind Li An, and walked into the processing workshop.

Li Yu and Li Yu were anxious to see the telescope, but the emperor's affairs must be in the front, so they couldn't urge Li An, so they had to follow behind, and expected Yu Chaoen to leave quickly after taking the mirror.

"Here are two large ones, which can be illuminated all over the body, six medium, which can be placed on the dresser, and dozens of small ones, which are convenient to carry around, and these are all dedicated to His Majesty, and the fish are for the envoy to see."

Ang Lee walked ahead, pointed to the mirrors in the room, and opened his mouth to introduce.

"Tsk, Li Shilang, these mirrors are really good, they can really shine a clear picture of people, and there really is a mirror that is one person high."

Yu Chaoen was amazed in these mirrors, admiring back and forth, and exclaimed.

"Huh! These should be enough for Your Majesty for a while, if Your Majesty needs more, the fish envoy will come and say, I will continue to build more mirrors for Your Majesty. ”

Li An looked very bold, and casually took a small mirror and stuffed it to Yu Chaoen, and said softly: "If you like it, leave one!" There are dozens of these small ones, one more and one less, and His Majesty will not know. ”

"No, no, no, Li Shilang, I'm a minion, what's the use of asking for mirrors, Your Majesty attaches great importance to these mirrors, the little slave just eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, and he doesn't dare to keep the mirror privately!"

Yu Chaoen really didn't dare to accept it, for fear of being sued by someone with a heart, and in this way, his future would be completely ruined.

"Alright, let's start loading! Be careful and don't break it. ”

Li An ordered.

"Be careful, slow down, what about you? Why are you so careless, be careful, be careful. ”

Yu Chaoen has always been more strict with these people under him, and he didn't show any affection when he scolded him. (To be continued.) )
