Time flickered, and in a blink of an eye, the New Year passed.

After more than a month of intense construction, not far from Xishan, a huge glass factory has begun to take shape, several tall glass furnaces, high chimneys are billowing white smoke.

The glass factory was surrounded by a tall fence, which was seven or eight meters high, and there were people standing guard at intervals to prevent anyone from trying to climb over the wall to steal the teacher's art.

The glass factory is basically a copy of Xishan Coal Industry, except for strict secrecy in the core area of the glass factory, and many processes are set up, there is no difference between the others and Xishan Coal Industry.

There was also a large hall for night classes for the workers of the glass factory, and there was also a large bathhouse for bathing, and there was also a lot of stuffiness, meat to eat every two days, and the same new, new uniform clothes to wear.

The glass furnace of the glass factory here, the first batch of glass workers in the Ming Dynasty is holding a blowpipe, puffing out the cheeks are desperately blowing the bottle, all of them are full of redness, the cheeks are constantly undulating, under the blowpipe, a variety of glass products are full of patterns, and there are glass fragments next to each person.

In a nearby place, workers with iron tongs, scissors and other tools in their hands are constantly fiddling with the clumps of freshly burned glass, which are kneaded casually like dough to create various shapes.

Liu Jin was accompanying Zhu Houzhao to inspect his own industry at this time, Zhu Houzhao was like a curious baby, looking around, and from time to time he even had to go up and try it in person, trying the taste of making glass products.

"Interesting, interesting, this glass was burned out like this, and when it was just burned out, it turned out to be the same as dough."

Zhu Houzhao put down a piece of glass and said with a smile.

"All of these objects actually have three forms, solid, liquid and gaseous, and the characteristics of each form are completely different, and there is nothing unusual about this glass."

Liu Jin said with a smile.

"Or Lao Liu, you are amazing, you can make this glass, but this glass can make millions a year?"

Zhu Houzhao patted Liu Jin's shoulder and praised, then thought about it and said.

"Whether you can make a million silver, I'll know soon, come, show you something."

In this regard, Liu Jin was very confident, and took Zhu Houzhao to the innermost room.

The people who work here are all brought by Liu Jin from Xiahetun, and the person in charge of management is also Zhao Erhu's brother Zhao Dahu, and at the same time, people who don't work here are strictly forbidden to come here, and there are people outside who keep guarding all the time.

This is where mirrors are made, and of all glass products, mirrors are undoubtedly the most valuable, and certainly the least practical.

When the Venetians made glass mirrors, they swept the whole of Europe, relying on the transaction of mirrors, the Venetians made a lot of money, and Liu Jin naturally valued this business the most seriously, and it was also the most secretive.

The whole room is hundreds of square meters, and dozens of villagers from Xiahetun are busy, also using the assembly line working mode, some are responsible for transporting the glass, some are responsible for applying mercury and tin mixture to the glass, and some are putting frames on these mirrors.

"Lao Liu, this doesn't seem to be anything special?"

As soon as Zhu Houzhao came in, a pair of small eyes kept looking around, and at first he didn't think it was anything unusual, but soon his eyes locked on a one-person high mirror, and he walked over slowly, and then stared at the person in the mirror carefully with wide eyes.

"This~ this is a mirror?"

Zhu Houzhao is a little unbelievable, mirrors have existed since ancient times, but they are all copper mirrors, the cost of this copper mirror is very high, but compared with the mirror in front of him, there is no comparison at all.

Although the bronze mirror can see a person's appearance clearly, it is relatively blurry, especially the copper mirror that is not polished smoothly enough, which is even worse.

But the mirror in front of you, it's completely different, everything is delicate, you can see clearly, and more importantly, the mirror in front of you, it's a person high, it's a full-length mirror.

Ancient bronze mirrors are generally very small, the largest is only the size of a plate, because the larger the copper mirror, the more difficult it is to make, and the cost is also very expensive, it is impossible to say that a full-length mirror is made.

You must know that in ancient times, it was definitely a large family that could have a bronze mirror, and it was impossible for ordinary people to afford such a high-end and high-grade thing as a copper mirror.

But even if it is a large family, this bronze mirror is still very small, many of them are only the size of a palm, and only a few really rich and wealthy people can afford to make a large bronze mirror, but it is not too big.

Zhu Houzhao got closer, looked at himself carefully in the bronze mirror, touched his nose, and made some movements.

"Lao Liu, I found that I am still quite powerful and domineering."

Zhu Houzhao's words almost made Liu Jin vomit out yesterday's overnight dinner, I thought he would say something, but he was very narcissistic and said that he was mighty and domineering, to be honest, Liu Jin really didn't see any domineering spirit from him.

"Uh... You are indeed very powerful and domineering~"

Speechless, Liu Jin could only reply like this.

"Tsk, this glass can even be made into a mirror, then we are really rich."

Then Zhu Houzhao seemed to think of something, and the whole person immediately jumped up excitedly.

"How much silver do you think we should sell for such a mirror?"

Liu Jin touched his chin and said a little worriedly.

"I have to sell it for a few hundred taels of silver."

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and said.

"A few hundred taels of silver?"

"A few hundred taels can buy a mirror of this specification, this kind of full-length mirror, I won't sell it without 2,000 taels of silver."

Liu Jin smiled and pointed to a glass mirror the size of a basin next to him.

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately stared at Liu Jin up and down, and said with a smile: "Tsk, I found that Lao Liu, you are really dark enough, two thousand taels of mirrors ......."

"Yes, yes, this kind of mirror should be sold as expensive as possible."

Zhu Houzhao thought about it, and immediately understood that Liu Jin was going to take the high-end route, and then nodded again and again.

"Our mirror wants to make money, and we need your help, help, I have prepared nine full-length mirrors here, you bring them back to your family to use first, and then you are thinking about how to promote this mirror to the powerful people in the entire capital, so that everyone knows about our mirror."

Liu Jin smiled, and then thought about it, and after pulling Zhu Houzhao, he also began to discuss the matter of advertising.
