Whether the glass thing is really that important is worth having someone in the workshop, Han Shan and Han Lu Chengdu are not so sure.

But it doesn't really matter whether they agree with it or not.

Because this is the king's decision, they have only the part of obedience, and it is impossible for them to question it. So Han Shan stood up and decided to guard this gate for Li Yuanjia!

In the past six months, he has obviously faded out of the king's sight.

Han Shan also knew that the king didn't like him, but in contrast, his son Han Lucheng was young, flexible, and more understanding of the king's orders, which broke the king's favor. So in the past six months, in addition to working hard to learn those Tianzhu numbers and learning new bookkeeping methods, Han Shan has been silently doing his military advisor behind his son's back - except for those new things, Han Shan is not comparable to his son in other aspects.

The reason why Han Lucheng has grown so fast in the past half a year is definitely due to his father.

And as soon as he heard the king's words, and then thought that he was still in Chang'an City not long ago, and he hurried to Zhuangzi because of the king's urgent order, where did Han Shan still not understand what the king meant?

Obviously, the king just wants him to stay!

After listening to Han Shan's words, his son was suddenly in a hurry, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "King, I am also willing to stay!" My father is very old, and I ask the king to allow him to ...... in the house."

"Alright, no need to say it!"

Without waiting for Han Lucheng to finish speaking, Li Yuanjia frowned and said, "Just let Han Shan stay here, help this king look at it for a while, and then wait for me to find a suitable candidate and replace him back...... So be it! ”

With a wave of his hand, Li Yuanjia didn't give them a chance to speak again.

Maybe it's a little cruel to Han Shan, but Li Yuanjia has no other better way, who made these two fathers and sons his most trusted people? And the glass thing is so important, whether he keeps it for himself or gives it to the emperor in the future, he must protect this secret in a short time!

This thing is a huge gold mine!

It was only after almost half an hour of spying with the Han father and son in the room that Li Yuanjia asked them to go out first, and then asked Han Cheng, who had been waiting, to call over.

"Can this thing be made bigger?"

Gently stroking the only "perfect" piece of glass with his hand, Li Yuanjia asked with a pleasant face.

"Back to the king's words, you can!"

Taking a deep breath, Han Cheng said confidently: "We have solved the most difficult part, and it is not difficult to make it bigger, but ...... King, what we are sure of now is two feet square. ”

"Two feet square? Good! ”

Slapping the table, Li Yuanjia stood up happily: "That's to make me a two-foot square...... If I ask you to make 100 dollars, how long will it take? ”

"A hundred? This...... Lord, please later, I'll do the math. ”

Han Cheng's brows furrowed, and he immediately lowered his head and calculated silently.

Li Yuanjia was not in a hurry, and let Han Cheng calculate slowly there, he just looked at the glass on the table happily, and couldn't help but pick it up and touch it again.

When this thing was made, Li Yuanjia's first thought was naturally his bedroom and study.

All kinds of papier-mâché, wood and even mud windows, he really had enough!

So when Han Cheng raised his head and told him with certainty that as long as he could guarantee manpower and materials, he would be able to make these glasses in two months at most, Li Yuanjia almost couldn't wait to say, "Haha, great, then make him a hundred pieces first!" It doesn't matter if you want people or money, go to Han Shan, and from today he will watch your glass workshop......"

Seeing Han Cheng's face change instantly, the corners of Li Yuanjia's mouth curved slightly, and then said: "Remember, Han Shan is just looking at you and not letting outsiders know the craftsmanship of glass, and he won't care about anything else." So you can do whatever you want, and give me a hundred two-foot square pieces of glass by the end of February anyway! “

"Yes, King!"

With a secret sigh of relief in his heart, Han Cheng hurriedly bowed down and responded.

At that moment just now, he was really afraid that the king would send Han Shan over to replace him, and the glass that he had worked so hard to make in the past few years would really be peached. You must know that for this small piece of glass, Han Cheng nests in a few rooms with his subordinates almost every day, and he is now a skilled glass craftsman!

finally survived to succeed, where is he willing to hand over the workshop?

Han Cheng was still a little younger after all, and the expression on his face quickly made people see his thoughts. So after looking at him, Li Yuanjia suddenly said: "Don't forget, continue to improve the glass making method for me." As you said yourself, the largest one has only been made two feet square, try to make it bigger...... Of course, it's more important to make it cleaner and more transparent! ”

When he said this, Li Yuanjia paused for a moment, and then narrowed his eyes again: "If what you do next can't satisfy me, this king doesn't mind changing someone to replace you, understand?" ”

"Understood, King."

His heart suddenly tightened, and Han Cheng's little pride just now instantly dissipated without a trace, and he hurriedly lowered his head and responded: "I will definitely make persistent efforts to make better glass as soon as possible......

……

After beating Han Cheng, Li Yuanjia took the piece of glass and left the glass workshop.

In fact, for Li Zhong and Han Cheng, he is still more assured. After all, from a slave in the palace to the steward of the palace workshop, this is an opportunity that cannot be given up for any of them. If he fell from the sky again because of his own negligence, I am afraid that Han Cheng himself would hack himself to death with a knife.

So a proper beating is enough.

Enwei and envy, Li Yuanjia has been quite proficient in playing these methods over the years, he knows very well what these boys need, and he also knows what he should do.

After coming out of the glass workshop, Sun Peng successively went to the paper workshop, the printing workshop and the movable type workshop. The first two are easy to say, anyway, now Han Wangfu can make paper, engraving, and printing in one shop, and the cost of printing a book has dropped to one-sixth of the price of a book on the market. If it weren't for the fact that he would offend too many people, Li Yuanjia would have ordered Li Zhong and Wang Pu to print those commonly used books on a large scale, and the price of books in Chang'an would have been lowered.

But on the other side of the movable type printing workshop, there is still nothing to see.

Li Zhong and the craftsmen are still experimenting with better alloys, and at the same time, they are also exploring ways to use movable type—in order to help him, Li Yuanjia has promised to give him a few literate helpers in the summer.

However, while exploring, Li Zhong and the others have actually begun to make movable type.

In the order of the previous dictionary, they are producing the most commonly used and most common movable type. It's just that the slow speed makes people panic, and they can make more than ten or twenty in a day.

You must know that Li Yuanjia's goal is to start at least 100,000.

So when he left the movable type workshop and went to Zhang Wan and Sun Zhan, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but start touching the glass in his hand again: "After this thing makes a lot of money, just throw 5,000 yuan to Li Zhong and them every year, so that the buddy should be able to see that day before he dies...... You should be able to see it, right? ”
