The entire welcome ceremony and reception banquet were all arranged by Sun Dalei, the former director of the office. The conference room in the office building of the www.biquge.info Pavilion was temporarily converted into a restaurant, and the committee specially approved the opening of two bottles of modern Jinliufu wine and several bottles of Tsingtao beer on the Pearl. Now these materials are listed as high-level stocks by Shi Xianyang, and they cannot be moved without the special approval of the committee.

All 9 members of the committee attended the reception banquet, and when they saw that there was a woman among the people who sat with them, the people of these visiting groups were puzzled: "This Yulin Bay keeps claiming to be a remnant of the Great Song Dynasty, but how can it be so ignorant of the rules, and women can also serve at the table?" ”

Lu Tianxiang raised his glass: "My lords, my ancestors have been living overseas for nearly 400 years since Yashan, this custom may be different from that of the Ming Dynasty. ”

The visiting group raised their glasses one after another: "The chairman is polite." ”

What kind of officials are the committee and the chairman, although Xu Lang tried his best to explain, but these people still didn't understand, and finally Chen Mincheng decided that the committee should be the cabinet, and this chairman is the head of the cabinet, and their emperor should still be overseas.

Lu Tianxiang continued: "I waited for a storm at sea, drifting thousands of miles, fortunate to come to the homeland, now this Mongolian has been driven back to the desert by Emperor Taizu, my Chinese bloodline has seen the light of day, I and so on in my heart greatly admire the great achievements of Emperor Taizu, now the heart is to the Ming, borrow the precious land to sleep peacefully, and hope that you can take care of it more." ”

Xu Lang said in his heart: "I'm afraid that after 15 years, the sun and the moon will be gone." ”

In the next few days, the visiting group visited Yulin Bay. Except for the temporary conversion of the ordnance team into an iron shop, and the 2 ships and the scientific research group were not open to the visiting group, all places were open to the visiting group. Even the traversers also organized a queue performance, the neat pace, the neat spear queue made Zhao Qian and Zhou Chongde, the two generals, smack their tongues, and asked Jiang Beiming and Lin Zhaolong questions for most of the day. Zhou Chongde also found Lin Zhaolong in private, and promised Lin Zhaolong an official position of 100 households to go to Yazhou.

Huang Yuansheng asked a question, this Yulin Bay is well organized, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and the paradise is nothing more than that, but why don't you see a shop, is it possible that the people in this Yulin Bay grow and eat by themselves, and there is no need to exchange?

Lu Tianxiang's answer to this is that I have not been here for a long time, and food and materials are in short supply, so the rationing system is implemented now, and there is no need for internal trade, but in the future, with the acceleration of construction progress and the increase of population, shops should naturally exist.

Huang Yuansheng secretly made up his mind that he wanted to come to Yulin Bay to be the first businessman. Huang Yuansheng has been working in Jixiang Commercial Bank for more than ten years, from a guy to a shopkeeper, seemingly infinitely beautiful, but in fact, it is all with the help of the prestige of the prefect of Qiongzhou, and his real savings are only a few hundred taels of silver. Seeing that Li Shuang, who used to sell salt, because he leaned on Yulin Bay, not only now monopolized the refined salt of the entire Qiongzhou Mansion, but also sat on the throne of inspection, it is really a local chicken to become a phoenix. It's time for yourself to think of a way back.

After dinner, Huang Yuansheng sat in his cabin and thought about his future plans. Sun Dalei temporarily vacated a few houses to arrange these people, one for each person, and they all hung horns, far apart.

Footsteps sounded at the door, and Sun Tianhao and Fan Qiuming pushed the door and walked in: "Shopkeeper Huang, it's not resting yet." ”

"Sun Gongzi, Fan Gongzi, please come in, please come in." Huang Yuansheng winked, and the family members next to him withdrew from the house.

"Sun Gongzi, if you don't have anything to do, you don't want to go to the Three Treasures Palace, what does Huang need to serve?" Huang Yuansheng has learned about Yulin Bay's attitude in the past few days, and he will go straight and never beat around the bush.

"Shopkeeper Huang is really fast-talking, I do have something to ask for here, but I also send benefits to Shopkeeper Huang." Sun Tianhao said and put a package he was carrying on the table, "Shopkeeper Huang will take a look at the things in here first." ”

Huang Yuansheng opened the package and was stunned for a moment: "This is glass." ”

"Yes, it's glass."

The package was a piece of thick glass one foot square, Sun Tianhao dismantled the glass counter of the commissary on the Pearl, and the angry Zhang Guodong scolded: "In a few days, you will simply dismantle my ship, anyway, Fan Qiuming will come to dismantle my generator, and I don't want this ship." ”

"You have this?"

"Not at the moment, but soon."

The research group has been studying glass for almost 2 months. The manufacture of modern glass is to crush the block raw materials quartz sand, soda ash, limestone, feldspar, etc., to dry the wet raw materials, and remove the iron of the iron-containing raw materials to ensure the quality of the glass. Glass mixtures such as clarifiers, fluxes, emulsions, colorants, decolorizers, oxidants and reducing agents are heated at high temperature in the pool kiln or crucible kiln to form uniform, bubble-free liquid glass that meets the molding requirements. The liquid glass is then processed into products of the desired shape, such as flat plates, various utensils, etc. Finally, heat treatment, through annealing, quenching and other processes, eliminates or produces stress, phase separation or crystallization inside the glass, and changes the structural state of the glass.

The whole process is not complicated, and substitutes can be found without raw materials, but the key is that the crucible is not available now, which not only restricts glass production, but also restricts steelmaking. But according to Lu Tianxiang's recollections, the crucible should have been there very early, in 1979, the Luoyang City Cultural Relics Task Force excavated a number of Han tombs in the Geely work area on the north bank of the Yellow River, one of which unearthed 11 crucibles. It's the end of the Ming Dynasty, and crucibles should be more common. Fan Qiuming entrusted Huang Yuansheng to buy a few crucibles, and it was best to recruit a few craftsmen who could make crucibles and smelt iron.

In addition, Sun Tianhao also asked Huang Yuansheng to use the connections of the Qiongzhou Mansion to go to Macao and recruit a few Western sailors, preferably Western shipbuilders. During these days, the fuel on the two ships was less than one-third, and the two ships could only lie on their stomachs as a last resort. The speed and combat effectiveness of the Daming Fu ship could not be compared with Western ships in this era, because the committee decided to build its own ship. But even if you build your own Western ship, no one will be able to handle it, and this is a problem. All sorts of issues came together, and the committee finally decided to recruit talent at any cost. What is most important, talent. It seems that this sentence is not only correct in Ge You's mouth, but also in the Ming Dynasty in the 17th century.

"Shopkeeper Huang, look at what's under the glass." After Sun Tianhao finished speaking the request of crossing the group, he added.

"Something down there?" Huang Yuansheng carefully removed the glass, and a white cloth was covered underneath. Uncovering the white cloth, Huang Yuansheng was the same as Gao Pengju at the beginning, stupid, with a one-foot-square glass mirror.

"As long as there is glass, there will be mirrors. Huang shopkeeper, this monopoly of glass and mirrors。。。。。。 Sun Tianhao didn't know how to turn glass into a mirror, but at least he knew that mirrors were made of glass. Since Xu Lang can talk nonsense about the output of refined salt, what should he do if Sun Tianhao talks nonsense again.

Huang understood. Huang promised to meet Sun Gongzi's requirements. Huang Yuansheng nodded again and again, "It's just that this glass mirror I don't know if Sun Gongzi can sell it to Zaixia?" ”

"Not for sale." Sun Tianhao said categorically, "However, I can give it to Shopkeeper Huang." ”

At the same time that Sun Tianhao and Fan Qiuming were fooling Huang Yuansheng, the other three tricks were staged at the residences of Chen Mincheng, Zhao Qian and Zhou Chongde at the same time. The committee is all on the battlefield tonight, 2 or 3 against one, the huge benefits plus the pit and abduction that modern society has exercised, it didn't take much effort, these Ming Dynasty adults were in the clouds, and they were busy selling themselves.

Chen Mincheng promised to go back and tell Wang Kezong that he would hand over the mining rights of the Tiandu Iron Mine to Yulin Bay and be responsible for recruiting miners, although he never understood how Yulin Bay knew that there was an iron ore mine in that place.

Mr. Zhao Qian promised to go back and send all the shipbuilding and ship repair craftsmen in Yazhou to Yulin Bay, but this salary can only be settled with him Mr. Zhao Qian.

Zhou Chongde is not as greedy as Mr. Zhao Qian. He promised to send 100 people to help with the construction of Yulin Bay, and it was free of charge, just to take care of food and housing. When Jiang Beiming and Lin Zhaolong both looked up at the starry sky and wanted to see if the sun could come out tonight, Zhou Chongde put forward his request to train these 100 people to become elite soldiers like the honor guard.

After sending off these Ming Dynasty people, Lu Tianxiang stood on the dock and stared at the north quietly: "Xiao Xu, what day is it on the lunar calendar today?" ”

"Lu Lao, today is October 15."

Lu Tianxiang sighed: "I'm going to be ruined again." ”

The people around didn't understand what Lu Tianxiang meant, and they all turned their heads to look at Xu Lang.

Xu Lang said with a solemn expression: "Today, the Eight Banners have entered the customs for the first time. ”
