Chapter 063: Return!
Compared with salt and papermaking, although glass can also improve people's livelihood - such as growing vegetables in greenhouses - relatively speaking, its influence on people's lives is far less exaggerated than the first two, and it is relatively low-key.
And, it's also very profitable!
Nowadays, "glass" is still called "glass", which belongs to the luxury goods that can only be appreciated by the upper class!
A glass bottle is almost worth a suite in the prime area of Hanshou Mansion!
Of course, Liu Qi doesn't plan to sell glass as a luxury product, it would be too wasteful, and the places where glass can be used are too wide, whether it is military or people's livelihood.
"That's you!"
Choosing the glass manufacturing technique, the next second, a book with a dark blue cover appeared in Liu Qi's hand.
After flipping through it, it not only recorded in detail the materials, steps and precautions required to make glass, but also explained the use of glass one by one.
It's all in the form of pictures and texts!
Even a pure layman like Liu Qi is not difficult to get out of the glass after seeing it.
It's so practical!
Liu Qi was excited.
Take the book out directly, you don't need to ask him to do it himself like when he was making cement, just give it to a craftsman, and you can get it out!
In this case, it is not in the game, but in reality, it can further promote employment.
"Let's see if the material is enough...... Well, you need quartz sand, feldspar, limestone and soda ash. Limestone and soda ash are easy to say, feldspar mine seems to be in Hunan, but quartz sand ...... I seem to remember, there is no quartz mine in Jingzhou? ”
Liu Qi had a headache and called the leader of the villagers who were responsible for exploring mineral resources.
"Are there any quartz and feldspar mines nearby?"
The leader nodded: "Not far from the territory, a feldspar mine and two quartz mines have been explored, and the villain is preparing to report it." ”
Liu Qi was overjoyed: "Great! ”
Although Jingzhou produces feldspar, it is not in the area under his control, and it will inevitably be purchased at that time.
There is also quartz, which is even more troublesome to buy outside of Jingzhou.
Since there are feldspar and quartz deposits in your own territory, you don't have to worry.
"Send someone to mine it now!"
Liu Qi clicked on the map, and sure enough, he found that the place mentioned by the team leader had already shown mineral deposits, and immediately built three mining farms, all of which were upgraded to level five.
At this time, the mining speed has increased by five times!
Seeing the growth of quartz and feldspar in the resource list, Liu Qi was satisfied.
"Let's get a little bit out for experiments first, as long as it can be done, we will build a glass factory in Yancheng in the future and mass production!"
……
After going offline, Liu Qi was about to ask people to find the most ingenious craftsman in the city, and the housekeeper came to report that it was a scribe who called himself Xu Shu to ask for a meeting.
"Yuan Zhi is back?"
Liu Qi was stunned, and then he was overjoyed: "Hurry up and invite someone to the study!" ”
It's a double happiness!
Since Xu Shu asked Ying to go to Chang'an to make trouble, there has been no news for about a month.
If you don't believe in the strength of the White Army, at least Xu Shu's life can be saved anyway, Liu Qi estimates that he will even have a funeral!
Xu Shu and Guo Jia sat in the concierge for less than half a cup of tea, and the housekeeper respectfully came to invite in person: "Two gentlemen, the lord, please go to the study for a while." ”
Xu Shu was accustomed to it, dusted off his sleeves and left.
Guo Jia looked at the housekeeper who was honestly leading the way in front of him, and then looked at Xu Shu who was peaceful, and was puzzled again.
When you enter the door of this eldest prince, you don't even have to give a gift for entering the door?
From the porter to the housekeeper, Xu Shu just said a word to declare his identity, and the communication was not hindered in any way, and there was no hint of asking for benefits at all.
Among everyone's subordinates, it is very rare.
You must know that Xu Shu did not hide his treatment in Jingzhou, and on the first day he met the eldest prince, after the master-slave relationship was determined, he went to Chang'an in a blink of an eye.
Of course, what exactly to do in Chang'an, Xu Shu can't say, and Guo Jia can't ask.
In other words, Xu Shu's body has no time to arrange a position!
And the subordinates in the eldest prince's mansion probably can't remember this scribe who has only been here once.
Who is this Liu Dagongzi......
Following the housekeeper through several corridors, Xu Shu unexpectedly saw Liu Qi's figure outside the door of the study.
"Yuan Zhi, Yuan Zhi, you can be regarded as back!" Liu Qi waited impatiently in the study, so he simply stood at the door, and when he saw Xu Shu coming, he was overjoyed and greeted him and looked at the person again, "You said that you are too, why don't you say that you will come back with a letter every few days, but I am so worried!" ”
Xu Shu didn't even have time to salute, but Liu Qi grabbed his arm and asked for warmth, and his heart was warm.
Thinking of all kinds of hard work in Chang'an, from this moment on, it is not worth mentioning!
"My lord."
Xu Shu broke free, took a step back, straightened out his clothes that were a little messy because he was in a hurry, his eyes were red, and he was upright and upright to the end: "Lord, Xu Shu has lived up to his mission and returned from Chang'an!" ”
Liu Qi was calmed by Xu Shu's serious aura, and he was also a little emotional, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the person up: "Yuan Zhi has worked hard all the way, so he will rest temporarily in my house." Tonight, I want to convene the civil and military forces of Yancheng to be the direct wind of the yuan! ”
Xu Shu bowed again: "The lord is serious!" ”
Guo Jia: "......"
Your Lord and Slave are endless, and your teeth will be sore!
However, looking at this scene, Guo Jia's heart was also a little sour, and at the same time he was happy for Xu Shu.
Except for a few lucky people who can be cited as the mastermind by the lord, their merits are often not as conspicuous as those of the generals.
It is also extremely difficult to get the attention of the lord.
And most of the masters don't really pay much attention to the strategists until they play the role they imagined.
Corporal Lixian returns to Corporal Lixian, but it is really difficult to reuse, care, and treat him as his own.
For example, Yuan Shao.
Guo Jia was under Yuan Shao's account for a few months, and he was received once when he first defected, and after that, he could only occasionally talk to Yuan Shao during court discussions.
And what about Yuan Shao.
The attitude is gentle, the opinion is not listened to, and it is impossible to pay attention.
Otherwise, Guo Jia would not have run away directly.
But now, just when they met, they haven't even spoken, and the way Liu Qi treats Xu Shu alone has already made Guo Jia have a good impression.
After the strategist returned from a long journey, his first sentence was not to ask about the task, but to care about the body of his subordinates and blame his subordinates for not knowing to report safety.
Even without knowing what the result of the task would be and whether it would be successfully completed, he directly arranged to summon all the civil and military officials in Yancheng to catch the wind for Xu Shu!
Putting the lives of his subordinates above the task, this alone is enough for Liu Qi to surpass the vast majority of the princes!
Guo Jia didn't need Xu Shu's introduction, he bowed down with a smile: "In Xiayingchuan Guo Jia, I have seen the eldest son." ”
