The area of the valley was very large, and it was all handed over to the glass workshop by Li Yuanjia.

This decision, in the eyes of many, is a bit wasteful.

Glass is a very good thing, and anyone with a discerning eye can see its great value, but on the other hand, everyone basically treats it as a top-of-the-line luxury. It means that it is very valuable, but it is difficult to popularize, so the annual demand is not estimated to be large, and there is no need to make such a large area to do it.

At least Han Cheng felt that the small workshop in Zhuangzi was enough.

At least 100 pieces of glass can be made in a month. This number may not be enough at the beginning, after all, the emperor, the crown prince and Zhao Guogong asked for hundreds of yuan, but after this period of time, naturally there will not be so many needs.

But this proposal was rejected by the king without hesitation.

That's why there is this huge valley, and there are workshops and shelters that are planned to almost fill the valley, as well as so-called sewers, public restrooms, and a canteen and a bathhouse!

Those sewers, toilets and garbage cans, Han Shan has seen them in Luzhou City, so naturally it is not surprising. The cafeteria is understandable, after all, the craftsmen are really too busy to cook by themselves, but it took hundreds of times just so that the craftsmen can take a hot bath in winter......

Oh my God, what's going on!

It's a pity that no matter how Han Shan gave his opinion, Li Yuanjia never ignored him, but just forcibly ordered everything to be built according to the plan.

To put it bluntly, Li Yuanjia plans to build this valley into an "industrial area" integrating production and life!

Don't look at the fact that the area of the factory is not large now, and the houses built are only enough for dozens of people to live, and even the canteen and bathhouse he asked for have just begun to lay the foundation, but from the day the glass thing appeared, it was already destined that this valley would inevitably be filled with buildings and heads in the future!

No one is more certain of this than Li Yuanjia.

Datang's spending power will never be as low as Han Shan thought.

He may have come from the stage when the Tang Dynasty had just been founded, so he was used to the years when the bigwigs in the DPRK and China had to live frugally, but Li Yuanjia knew that in the last few years of Li Shimin's tenure as emperor, he was already capable of luxury. Moreover, the magnates of the Tang Dynasty have also accumulated enough after 30 years of founding, for example, Li Yuanjia's brother Li Xiaogong is one of the models.

Of course, there are some so-called top nobles, such as Wei Zheng......

Hehe, it's not that Li Yuanjia looks down on them, it's really that their net worth is there, and it's impossible to afford it! If you don't have tens of thousands of savings, dare to use this kind of top-level luxury that can be broken at the touch of a casual touch?

You must know that there is nothing else in the house in this year, it is a big one, especially the houses where the bigwigs live are many of the houses given by the emperor, and I can't wait for a bedroom to top the kind of two or three bedrooms and one living room in the future, how much glass is enough?

So even if you save a little, decorate a study and bedroom, and add a hall for guests, it is estimated that the investment will be at least one or two thousand!

But the price of 100 yuan cannot be maintained forever.

Li Yuanjing's love is very clear, don't look at the current 100 pieces of glass is so expensive that there are no friends, in addition to the emperor, Liang Guogong and uncle Yu Wenshi and these people who don't need to spend money, I'm afraid that the top nobles like the prince, King Wei and the eldest grandson Wuji can afford it, but wait for a few more years, wait for the process to be further improved, and at the same time, the scale of production will expand little by little, the cost of all kinds of raw materials will continue to decrease, and the cost of glass production will come down sooner or later.

He didn't dare to say that it would definitely drop to 100 yuan or even dozens of yuan a piece, but a piece of glass was controlled at the level of consistent money, and Li Yuanjia was still very confident.

Therefore, the price of glass will drop sooner or later, but this process will definitely be very long.

Because in addition to the Tang Dynasty, there are many, many countries in the world that have exchanges with the Tang Dynasty, such as Turkic and Tuyuhun, Japan, Xue Yantuo, Baekje, Goguryeo, Dashi, Tubo, etc., they also have countless powerful and wealthy people in China, and they are also potential customers of glass.

Until enough money is made from them, Li Yuanjia will not allow the price to be reduced.

Anyway, this thing is not a necessity, it is purely a luxury for the rich, even if ordinary people can't afford it......

……

After being led around by Han Shan, Li Yuanjia was quite satisfied with their work in the past few months.

The area built was not large, because even with the would-be craftsmen who were being "trained", and the attendants who tended their lives and guarded the valley, the number of people in the glass workshop was less than seventy, and it was a waste to build too much. So now it's just a bigger factory, twenty houses, and a makeshift canteen.

As for the bathhouse, it should be built before winter.

"In short, the place where people live and the place where they work must be separated!"

Finally, when he settled next to the river, Sun Peng glanced at it and said, "In the future, if necessary, we can quickly build more houses on both sides, and when the time comes, everyone will go to work in the workshop every day and come back here to rest...... In this way, the resting person will not be affected by the noise. ”

When he said this, Li Yuanjia's face sank, and he said seriously: "There are also those bathrooms and trash cans, hurry up and get them out!" Remember, in the future, if you defecate anywhere and don't go to the bathroom, you will call me once you find it! There are also litterers, and I will be fined ten big dollars at a time! ”

"Yes, my lord."

The corners of his mouth twitched vigorously, and Han Shan nodded helplessly.

Well, he's already given up.

From when he was in Luzhou to the present, he still can't figure out what the use of these things is? The valley is so big, and the place where it is used now, what is it to let those guys find a convenient place to do so? Why bother building a bathroom? And how many must be built on the side of the workshop, and how many must be built in the place where people live?

And what kind of garbage cans, the king even asked him to prepare fifty first, almost everyone has one!

Of course Li Yuanjia didn't know Han Shan's disapproval, and even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart, because only he understood what the result would be when there were more people in this valley in the future, and the poor sanitary conditions would be! So it's not just about building public toilets, having enough garbage cans on the table, giving artisans the opportunity to bathe in hot water, but most importantly, a complete sewer system and a hardened pavement system made of cement!

To put it bluntly, this valley will become a test field for Li Yuanjia, trying a lot of "fresh" things......
