"The quality of the newly made glass is getting better and better!"

Looking at a freshly baked glass plate in front of him, the corners of Li Yuanjia's mouth twitched, and his eyebrows were happy.

The improvement of transparency and the journal is actually not too big, especially the issue of transparency, I am afraid that it will take a longer time to study and improve, which involves more "chemical" accumulation. But the flatness of the glass pane in front of me has improved dramatically!

To put it bluntly, it's even more flat!

Li Yuanjia remembered that the glass he took to the palace for his second brother was full of pimples or pits, although it was not obvious compared to the transparency and impurities, but if you looked closely, it would be very uncomfortable.

But this time, the glass plate that Li Yuanjia saw really made great progress.

This technology may not be difficult to say, especially in the eyes of future people, and it should be a matter of course for the glass to be flattened. But for the ancients, it was not easy to do this.

But......

Without hesitation, Li Yuanjia waved his hand and said, "Reward!" Han Cheng rewarded ten times! Craftsmen reward 20 times! ”

Li Yuanjia really understands the truth that there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, so as long as the reward is in place, the craftsmen can exert twelve points of effort, and the research and development progress of glass can continue to accelerate!

Han Lucheng was already accustomed to this, and immediately bowed his head and said, "Yes, king!" ”

"Thank you, King!"

Compared to Han Lucheng, the reaction of the others was much more grand, and Han Cheng immediately knelt down with a few craftsmen and shouted loudly.

His face was full of joy, but he didn't have the excitement he had before.

After all, everything was expected.

And compared with the previous large-scale spending of 100 and 200 yuan, today's reward is only 30 yuan...... Although it is still a lot of money for the people in the glass workshop, I have to say that the impact is definitely much smaller.

Therefore, the atmosphere of this scene is not as warm as before.

And even Han Lucheng, the housekeeper who had a lot of opinions about the king's lavish rewards to his subordinates before, had a calm face this time, and he couldn't even see a trace of abnormality in his eyes.

After getting used to it, Han Lucheng actually slowly discovered Li Yuanjia's intention to do this.

But all the people or workshops that the king has rewarded will work very hard for a period of time, and the more rewards they get, the faster the craftsmen will improve, and the higher the frequency of new products!

This is true for the paper workshop, the same is true for the movable type, and the glass workshop is no exception!

And......

Compared to other workshops...... Especially for the movable type workshop, which has to devour a lot of money every month, if the glass workshop rewards a little more money, Han Lucheng is really willing!

The reason is simple, this is a big gold mine!

Although the glass workshop still spends a lot of money, and now it has to throw hundreds or even thousands of dollars into it every month, but not a single big man has ever made it back! But Han Lucheng understands very well that once the project in the Daxing Palace is completed, the glass workshop will be able to start making money for the palace by November at the latest!

A piece of glass is a hundred ......

Even if it's cut in half, we'll make a lot of money, won't we?

And according to the king, in the future, all the glass made will be divided into several grades, the worse ones will be cheaper, and the good ones will be sold more expensive...... Especially the top-of-the-line glass, which is simply hundreds of pieces!

Think about it, how much money can you make?

So now it's only a reward of thirty times, what is it?

Everyone's reaction was very "flat", but Li Yuanjia was very satisfied at this time - although in essence it was only a small improvement in the process, there was no essential innovation, otherwise Li Yuanjia would not be so "stingy", but if you think about it differently, the glass workshop is still continuing to progress, and the speed is still accelerating, this is a great news!

After all, in Li Yuanjia's view, there are more and more craftsmen in the glass workshop, and the investment is getting bigger and bigger......

"No way, who made me lack talents?!"

When he thought of this, the smile on Li Yuanjia's face gradually faded, and he sighed softly.

If it was possible, he really wanted to replace this group of people, because although Li Zhong, Han Cheng and others did a very good job in the eyes of others, but in Li Yuanjia's opinion, the efficiency was terrible - from the future, just find an assembly line worker to come over, maybe they will do a better job than them.

But for now, I can only rely on them.

So after sighing, he had to encourage everyone a few words, and then looked at Han Cheng: "Let's go, take me to the mirror to take a look!" ”

"Yes, my lord."

With a trembling heart, Han Cheng hurriedly bowed his head and said, "We just changed a big room for them a few days ago...... The king, right there in the innermost part. ”

“…… Well. ”

After glancing at it from a distance, Li Yuanjia nodded slowly.

In the innermost part of the valley, there is indeed a large house that looks new and new, quite conspicuous. And behind it, there is a big chimney, looking at it from a distance, Li Yuanjia suddenly remembered the Journey to the West that he had read when he was a child in his previous life, in which Sun Wukong turned into a small temple in order to avoid Erlang God......

While walking over there, Li Yuanjia asked casually, "Han Cheng, this mirror...... Has there been any recent progress? ”

"Back to the king's words...... Not yet. ”

With his head hanging all the time, Han Cheng said in a low voice, "In the past few months, we have tried hundreds of materials, but we have never found a suitable result...... Please, the king, punish you! ”

"Hehe, what do you blame?"

With a slight raising of his eyebrows, Li Yuanjia did not continue to pay attention to Han Cheng, but walked forward on his own.

Since the glass barely met his requirements, Li Yuanjia began to order Han Cheng and them to turn their attention to the mirror - if glass has the potential to become the money bag of Han Wangfu in the future, then there is no doubt that the mirror will be the most important piece of the puzzle!

The reason is simple, people need to see themselves clearly.

At this point, whether it is a beautiful woman or those pretentious men, it is impossible to escape the temptation. So hundreds of years later, when the Venetians made mirrors, they locked the craftsmen on an island and forbade them to come into contact with outsiders; will set a special law to punish those who pass on the technology of making mirrors! So a mirror at that time could be sold for a sky-high price of one and a half million francs!

It is precisely because he understands this that Li Yuanjia will not hesitate to throw money on this.

And for him, he really knows how mirrors are made......
