Ning Xiu knows that people's enthusiasm for work needs to be stimulated.

A sound incentive mechanism can make employees have greater enthusiasm to devote themselves to their work. Employees have enthusiasm, work efficiency has been improved, and the ultimate beneficiary is the boss.

Therefore, Ning Xiu seemed to have paid some silver as a reward, but he could reap benefits far greater than the value of these silvers.

These are all things in the field of management, and Ning Xiu has only applied one-ten-thousandth.

In the new year, Ning Xiu mobilized everyone and signaled that everyone could continue to work.

The glass is still in the trial production stage, so it does not require too much manpower. The sale of soap and cement is still the main source of income for the Ning family, and production must not be interrupted.

He specially called a few hired workers to be responsible for the trial production of glass, which could minimize the impact on the production of the workshop.

"Young owner, crush these like crushing cement raw meal?"

Ning Xiu nodded: "The process is the same, pour these into the kiln after crushing." It should be noted that the temperature required to fire this new type of glass is much higher than that of cement. Be sure to keep the temperature. ”

"Well, I know, I know."

Ning Xiu didn't dare to leave, he was already familiar with the process of glass making, but these hired workers were making it for the first time, and if something went wrong, the consequences would be very serious.

The work in the crushing phase was carried out smoothly. These hired workers were already outstanding, and the raw materials were quickly crushed.

Ning Xiu watched them send the mixture into the kiln, and his heart was full of excitement.

Glass, this is making glass!

He wasn't so excited when he was making soap, and he wasn't so excited when he was making cement.

But he couldn't suppress his emotions when making glass.

No one knows the importance of glass better than him, and this seemingly inconspicuous thing is simply the mother of chemicals.

If you want to do a chemistry experiment, you first have to have a beaker, a flask, a test tube, right? Most of the chemical solvents are also stored in glassware.

Therefore, Ning Xiu is very much looking forward to making glass. With glass, many of his ideas can be realized, without being limited by equipment.

As for the economic value of glass, it is not as good as cement. Although glassware is very durable, it is not as fine as porcelain, and the price is much higher than that of pottery, and the target group is probably also high-ranking officials.

These people have a good face, and most of them will buy some new things when they see them.

Ning Xiu didn't expect glass windows to enter thousands of households. First of all, it is difficult to achieve high-density glass pressing, even if there is no problem in the process, someone has to buy it.

Ordinary people break a copper coin in half and ask them to spend money to upgrade the windows? No kidding.

In Ning Xiu's view, glass is more positioned as a luxury.

If you can take advantage of the relationship between the palace and make the glass a tribute, you will not have to worry about sales.

After all, the volume of the imperial merchant is absolutely incomparable to other retail merchants, and the price may be slightly lower, but the small profit is quick turnover.

With Ning Xiu's current status, it is not impossible to become an imperial businessman.

First of all, he can rely on Zhang Maoxiu to find out the news, and his future old Taishan Qi Jiguang is also a first-class member. How can there be a reason why Lao Taishan does not help his son-in-law? The Qi family and the Zhang family worked together, couldn't they earn him the qualification of an imperial businessman?

Of course, these are the best cases. Even if the Ning family can't become an imperial merchant in the end, it doesn't matter. It's just a matter of earning less.

These are all later words, and the immediate priority is to make the glass.

The next step is the firing stage.

First, the temperature in the kiln is raised to more than 1600 degrees, and then the mixture is reacted by calcination to form liquid glass.

At this point, the glass is half done.

The process was a bit long, so Ning Xiu went to the house first to drink tea and eat a few snacks.

Then he fell asleep on the table.

I don't know how long it took, Ning Xiu only felt that someone was calling his name in his sleep.

When I opened my eyes, I realized that it was Sun Wufan.

"Brother Sun......

Ning Xiu rubbed his eyes and said with a smile: "Why are you here for the New Year." ”

Sun Wufan rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Ning Xian, what are you talking about?" I can't come for the Chinese New Year! I'm here to greet you for the New Year. ”

Ning Xiu coughed, and hurriedly beckoned Sun Wufan to sit down: "Brother Sun, don't get me wrong, I mean that Brother Sun left Wuchang so early, wouldn't Ling Zun have any opinions?" ”

Sun Wufan pouted: "My father." He's sure to want me to get out of now. ”

"Why is that?"

Sun Wufan glared at Ning Xiu angrily: "Come on, Brother Ning Xian, don't pretend to be confused." You won't forget the last time we cooperated to sell soap, right? My dad now leaves this matter to me. I'm making money for him, and of course he's happy to do it. ”

"I see." Ning Xiu smiled and said, "Then this soap is still easy to sell in other places?" ”

"Of course it's selling!"

As soon as he mentioned this matter, Sun Wufan came to the nature, swallowed and foamed at the mouth: "The best places to sell are Nanzhili and Zhejiang Buzheng Division." There are many wealthy people in these places, and they buy not only soap but also soap. It is followed by Shandong, Fujian and the Political Division. Anyway, the goods have already been rolled out, and Brother Ning Xian is waiting to collect the money. ”

Ning Xiu was naturally very pleased. He was not wrong. The Sun family's influence in Shangdao is still very large, and there will be no problem with the Sun family's soap distribution.

"It's as if you didn't let Brother Sun make money. You're taking a cut of the profits. ”

Sun Wufan's mouth couldn't close when he smiled, and waved his hand again and again: "Haha, hahahaha." If you have money, you can make it. ”

"By the way, when I came, I saw that there was another kiln in your workshop, but the cement production was going to be expanded?"

Ning Xiu shook his head and said, "Well, it has nothing to do with cement. Ning planned to make a new type of glaze, but the temperature of the original kiln could not meet the requirements, and a new kiln needed to be built. ”

Ryu...... Glass? ”

Sun Wufan blinked: "That thing can't be messed around, as far as I know, the glass is used by the royal family." ”

"Brother Sun doesn't have to worry about this. The new glass I made looks completely different from the glass. To distinguish this, I call it glass. ”

Sun Wufan has long been accustomed to popping out of Ning Xiu's mouth with these strange words, smashing it and smashing it: "Whether it's glass or glass, can you think of a good market?" Don't make it and not sell it when the time comes. ”

Ning Xiu smiled: "Mountain people have their own tricks. ”

Sun Wufan almost squirted.

"Come on, I won't ask."

Ning Xiu really didn't plan to talk to Sun Wufan in detail.

After all, the greatest use of glass is to make various chemical utensils, laying the foundation for Ningxiu's further chemical production. Its economic value can be used as soon as it can be used, and it is acceptable if it cannot be used for a while.
