"It's out! It's out! Butler, we've burned out the glass! ”

In the Strange Pavilion Workshop, a middle-aged man with a dirty face and a slightly yellowed face, ran out of a porcelain kiln excitedly, and then shouted at Fu Bo not far away.

Fu Bo stayed up quite late last night, and he couldn't stand the high temperature in the kiln during the day today, after all, he was old, and he stayed in the kiln for a while, so he came out to make up for sleep in the house while waiting for news.

At this time, Fauber, who was half-asleep and in a daze, heard a sound outside, and woke up suddenly, he quickly opened the door and ran out.

"Changgui, did you really burn the glass?"

Fauber's voice was mixed with excitement and disbelief.

"It's true, we've really turned the sand into glass, Steward Fu, look at it, this is the glass we just burned!"

After Changgui finished speaking, he handed over an irregular glass ball, his hands were dirty, but the glass ball was transparent and shiny, forming a very sharp contrast.

Fauber took it, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a moment, he said excitedly: "Great! That's great! It's really colored glass, even higher quality than the colored glass sold by the Hu people! Song Xiaosi! Hurry, hurry, go and give the young master good news! “

Song Xiaosi, who was at the door, hurriedly responded: "Yes!" The little ones are going! ”

After saying that, he trotted and went out in a hurry!

Fauber looked at the glass ball in his hand again and sighed:

"I didn't expect that sand could really be turned into glass, but I hate those Hu merchants who sell glass so expensive! Changgui, quickly organize manpower to produce a batch of compass front covers, now we can produce our own glass, the cost of the compass should be less consistent, it's great! ”

"Yes, Steward Fu, I'll arrange manpower!"

……………………

Lee House.

Li Zexuan is gobbling up food in the front hall, he has been busy since the morning until now, he has not eaten a drip!

However, this situation he often encountered in his previous life, as an engineering man, sometimes the subject needs to catch up with the schedule, and he can't even take care of food when he works overtime, which is not a common thing?

"Young master, the prince is here!"

At this time, Xiaohe hurriedly trotted over.

"Huh? What did he come to do? Well, please, please! ”

The food in Li Zexuan's mouth hadn't finished yet, he puffed out his cheeks and said with a glare.

"Yes, young master!"

Xiaohe took the order and left, Li Zexuan took the opportunity to pick up a few more mouthfuls of rice, and then asked his subordinates to withdraw the food.

"Hehe, I haven't seen you for many days, Lord Li is not harmed!"

As soon as the banquet was withdrawn, he saw Wang Renbiao with him; The cold-faced chick walked in with a smile.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay! Cousin Jen come in and sit down! ”

Li Zexuan wiped his mouth and returned the salute.

................

Atrium.

"Renbiao, Ling Zun came to Chang'an this time, but everything is fine?"

After such a long time, Li Zexuan is not stunned, he still learned some basic etiquette greetings, nothing more than greetings and greetings whether the other party's family is in good health, whether the other party himself is doing recently, and so on.

"Thank you for your concern! My father, Shang An, had returned to Suizhou the day before yesterday, and the state capital had already backlogged too much official business. ”

Wang Renbiao replied.

"So fast? Little brother, I was confined to my home before, and I couldn't see Ling Zun off in person, it's a pity! ”

Li Zexuan was surprised at first, and then said with a look of regret. He still has a good impression of Wang Yu's person, he knows the current affairs, and he does not have the arrogance of those people in the family, of course, the most important thing is to be generous, and those few night pearls have always been in Li Zexuan's room. In general, Wang Yu can be regarded as a man of temperament.

Leng Yuyao on the side secretly rolled her eyes, she didn't believe that Li Zexuan would be so attentive to her master, it must have played a role in the heavy gift given by the Wang family last time, what a guy who sees money, Leng Yuyao said with contempt in her heart.

Wang Renbiao didn't think like Leng Yuyao, he understood that since Li Zexuan said so, another meaning was that the relationship between the two families had eased greatly, which was what he and his father wanted to see.

"Thank you for your kindness, Renbiao will definitely convey it to my father. This time I came to bother, Renbiao still had something to ask the lord for help. ”

Li Zexuan laughed and said: "Haha, Ren Biao has something to say, I will try to help if I can!" ”

Wang Renbiao said happily: "Thank you, I think the lord must have known about the imperial court's recruitment of civilian merchant ships to the south, and the Wang family also wants to participate in this vigorous sea trade." In today's newspapers, I saw that the gentleman's workshop had invented a gadget that could point the way, which was extremely advantageous for navigation.

So at noon, I sent someone to buy it at the Wonder Pavilion, but I was told that the first batch of compasses produced by the workshop had been given priority to the imperial court, so the younger brother thought about visiting the door and brazenly asked the lord to buy some compasses! ”

It turned out to be this, Li Zexuan's heart moved, and he asked curiously: "The Wang family also has a big ship?" ”

"Indeed, not only the Wang family, but also the other six major families, more or less will have some merchant ships, it is not a secret, the last time the 80,000 chicken seedlings purchased at the lord's mansion were the ones that my brother borrowed from my second uncle's merchant ship and transported them from the south of the Yangtze River through the Grand Canal, and he made about 5,000 yuan from the lord this trip, and he just learned about it recently, and I hope that the lord will not blame, and the Wang family is also willing to return this money!"

Wang Renbiao suddenly said with a solemn expression.

Li Zexuan waved his hand and said indifferently: "Haha, no, no, it's just five thousand, besides, that batch of chicken seedlings is also worth that price." I would like to know how many merchant ships the Wang family plans to take out in this sea trade? ”

Wang Renbiao pondered for a moment, stretched out five fingers, and replied: "There are fifty in total, so please ask the lord to be accommodating, and give priority to supplying the Wang family with fifty compasses." ”

, fifty, equivalent to one-tenth of the imperial fleet, and looking at Wang Renbiao's relaxed face, it is obvious that fifty is not all the merchant ships of their royal family, are these families so rich? Li Zexuan was really shocked in his heart, first, he was shocked by the number of their merchant ships, and secondly, he was shocked that Wang Renbiao wanted to equip every merchant ship with a compass, Li Er was not so bold!

"The Wang family has so many merchant ships? But is Renbiao going to equip each merchant ship with a compass? There's no need, right? ”

Wang Renbiao shook his head and said: "This is not much, sir, you don't know, the family has been engaged in sea trade or river transportation more or less, especially the Boling Cui family, as far as I know, their family has at least more than two hundred merchant ships, and the scale is much larger than our Wang family." ”
