The time of fulfillment always flies, and before you know it, the season has come to the end of March.

The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and I finally say goodbye to the long cold.

The recruited manpower was finally enough, and the construction of a cement and gravel road leading from Wei Renshi's fiefdom in Weinan to Chang'an City finally began.

Wei Renshi came out of the barracks, just arrived at home, and was about to go to Weinan to have a look at the construction site of the road. I saw a carriage parked at the gate of his house.

Wei Renshi walked to the side of the carriage and happened to see Jiao Haiqing coming down from it.

"Yo! Isn't this the shopkeeper of Jiaoda?! Wei Renshi pretended to be surprised and said.

Jiao Haiqing immediately replied: "General Wei hasn't seen him for many days, but his demeanor is still the same!" ”

Wei Renshi grinned and said, "Don't you dare to shout nonsense, Lieutenant Zhichong can't reach the general." When it reached the ears of the speaker, I couldn't eat and walked away. Why did Brother Jiao come here in person today? ”

Jiao Haiqing said with a smile: "There are two good news, I have to come to you in person to ask for a lottery." ”

"Two?" When Wei Renshi heard this, he smiled and said, "Let me guess, the coking was successful?" ”

"If it's just a successful coking, then the big shopkeeper is worth this trip?" Jiao Haiqing laughed and said, "It's good steel!" Moreover, something has come out of the glass kiln. ”

Wei Renshi was stunned for a moment, is it a good steel?!

That's great news!

"Brother Jiao, don't fool me." Wei Renshi was a little incredible.

"What do you call it? How dare I talk nonsense? Jiao Haiqing said dissatisfied.

Wei Renshi jumped into Jiao Haiqing's carriage: "Go!" Go to Weinan! ”

Jiao Haiqing was stunned for a moment and said, "I haven't eaten yet!" ”

"Go to Weinan first! Then I'll make you a table! Wei Renshi said.

Jiao Haiqing got into the carriage, and the two went outside Chang'an City.

Walking out of a street, Wei Renshi suddenly said again: "Wait, go to the Guangling County Mansion first!" ”

"Where are you going?" Jiao Haiqing asked, "What are you doing there?" ”

"He accounts for as much as me on the glass, and on the steelmaking side, he is the nominal leader who was pushed out by the emperor after discussing with the crown prince, and it is only right to call him." Wei Renshi replied.

Jiao Haiqing smiled: "You are really careful." But it's right to be cautious. ”

After that, he said to the guy who was driving the car: "Hurry up!" ”

The little guy outside responded, and the carriage suddenly sped up a lot, heading towards the palace of Guangling County.

When he got there, Wei Renshi saw Li Chun and asked directly: "The first batch of finished products came out of the glass kiln today, I am going to go to see the condition, do you want to go with Prince Chun?" ”

"Something from the glass kiln?" Li Chun's eyes lit up: "Speaking of which, I am also one of the shareholders of the glass kiln, well, since the finished product is produced today, I naturally have to go to inspect it." Let's go, let's go! ”

After Li Chun changed into civilian clothes, brought the guards, and the two went out together.

When I arrived at the door, I happened to see Li Daizong'er getting off the carriage.

Li Daizong'er also saw the two of them, and saw Li Chun wearing civilian clothes, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Big brother, do you have to travel?" ”

"Well, something has come out of Brother Renshi'er's glass kiln today, and I'm about to go and see it." Li Chun looked at her and said.

"I'm going too!" Li Daizong'er pestered Li Chun.

It didn't matter if Li Daizong'er saw these two things, so Li Chun also took her there.

The two carriages left Chang'an City together, it was already afternoon at this time, and they were hurrying up, and finally rushed back to Weinan in the second half of the morning and arrived at the kiln in the coal yard.

A few kilns were in full swing, and the old kiln head was constantly shouting and directing those kiln workers, and when Wei Renshi passed, he saw that the kiln workers were retreating the things in the kiln.

"Is it annealed?" Wei Renshi stepped forward and asked.

The old kiln head turned around, only to find that Wei Renshi was coming, so he hurriedly saluted, and then replied: "If you go back to Xiaolang, the big one will be burned, and one will be annealed until now, and then it will start to be taken outside." In the middle, according to Xiaolang's instructions, the temperature in the kiln was gradually lowered. However, this first batch is a test kiln, and it is not done to blow it, and it is unformed and ugly. ”

Wei Renshi nodded, and when the potter withdrew from the kiln, he hurriedly walked over.

Li Chun and Li Daizong'er also hurried forward.

I saw that pieces of crystal blocks that were still transparent were picked out.

"What a glass!" Li Chun exclaimed in surprise and looked at a large pile of crystals in front of him: "Translucent!" It is much brighter than what Hu Shang sells. ”

Hehe smiled, Wei Renshi turned around and ordered: "Go, bring boiling water and ice water!" ”

This is something that Wei Renshi has already explained, and the old kiln head immediately ordered the two of them to come over. I found two wooden basins, put a few pieces of that kind in each, and then poured them into a basin of boiling water, and after soaking them for a while, I immediately fished them out and threw them into a basin of ice water.

After a moment, Wei Renshi immediately burst into laughter.

Not crushed!

Sure enough, it's a problem with annealing!

The original glass did not go through the annealing process, and it will be crushed when it is filled with hot water, and these crystals are intact and not broken!

"That's it!" Wei Renshi smiled and said to the old kiln head: "Very good, you all go to Uncle Shi to receive the reward!" One hundred times for the head of the old kiln, and thirty times for the others! Next time, try blowing, don't need too complicated shapes, just blow a few cups, and then try it with boiling water and ice water! ”

When they heard this, they rushed forward to thank the reward.

Li Chun beckoned, beckoned the old kiln head, and asked with expectation in his eyes: "Master, this king asks you, how much does it cost you to burn these glass blocks?" ”

The old kiln turned his head to look at Wei Renshi, and Wei Renshi said to him: "Did you hear that, everyone claims to be the king, why don't you hurry up and come over and salute and answer?!" This is a prince! ”

Li Chun was speechless for a moment, and Li Daizong'er was eating and laughing beside him. The old kiln head reacted at this time, his face turned white with fright, and he hurriedly came over to salute and replied: "This, because this is the first time to produce a finished product, there are more, and several kilns have been burned out before, and a lot of river sand has been wasted." That's how many hundreds! ”

"What?" Although Li Chun had already learned in advance that the cost was not high, he was still surprised when he heard it with his own ears.

The old kiln head was mistaken, and hurriedly explained: "The prince is angry! This is just the beginning, as long as it has been tried several times! Now that the finished product is out, there won't be so much waste in the future! The old man calculated, once the glaze of the kiln came out, all the capital added up, only a few dozen times, and it would not be more than a hundred times to die! ”

"Good!" Li Chun's eyes were red: "Reward!" A cadre of people on the glass kiln, etc., each will be rewarded with twenty silk horses! ”

After that, he looked at the glass blocks on the ground excitedly and asked, "Brother Renshi, I want to take some of this thing away!" ”

Wei Renshi grinned and said, "Don't worry, Lord Chun, there is another better thing." ”
