South, Jinling County, the four major family chambers.

It's still the four masters last time, but this time their mood is extraordinarily solemn. It can't be said to be dignified, but the uneasiness of the unknown.

The eldest Sun Xian banged on the table with both hands, but there was no rhythm. "Third brother, what kind of medicine do you say is in our gourd ordered by Li County?"

The third Wu Ning was also puzzled, although the county magistrate was not very old, he was unpredictable with an old fox. It stands to reason that they came to the ramp suddenly, and they were also elevated. Then it is nothing more than two ways: hard or secretly accumulating power. For these two paths, the four major families are all fully prepared, no matter which path Li Yi takes, they have a way to deal with it, at least they will not be passive.

However, Li Yi, on the second day after he came to Jinling, he went to the surrounding villages and actually studied how to grow vegetables in winter. Wu Ning has lived for nearly thirty years, and he doesn't dare to say that he has read all the books, but most of the books have been read. However, he had never heard of any way to grow vegetables in winter. This kind of thing may be successful next to the hot springs, and I heard that this is how the dishes in the palace come from in winter.

But don't say that there are no hot springs in Jinling, and even if there is, there is no need for such fanfare research, right? He's so greedy? The county order sent by the imperial court is this virtue? He even suspected that the imperial court had let Li Yi come here to make trouble, and he didn't intend to let Li Yi do anything at all, but when he thought of Runzhou's assassination of Shi Wangxiong's actions, Wu Ning dispelled this idea again, this Li Yi is definitely not simple.

But it's not just there, he doesn't have a clue. If you want to talk about growing vegetables, it is said that for some reason I gave up temporarily, and even the old farmers who had already contacted them were sent back. If you want to say that after giving up growing vegetables, you can do something serious, right? But this county magistrate just took the usual path, gave up planting vegetables the next day, then found a porcelain kiln, after a big fight, there was no movement, and this time there is really no movement, this county magistrate has been into the porcelain kiln for more than ten days, but has never come out, not once, and there are even rumors that Li Xianling met a peerless beauty in the porcelain kiln, and now he is drunk and dreaming of death!

Of course, Wu Ning will never believe this statement, he believes that Li Yi must be brewing some big moves, and there must be demons when things go wrong, and there is definitely a problem here. However, Li Yi never showed up, he couldn't find any clues at all, and he was completely at a loss. This feeling is quite aggrieved.

Facing the eldest brother's questioning, Wu Ning felt bitter in his heart, but he calmly replied in the market: "Big brother, first of all, we can be sure that this Li County Order is definitely preparing for something. But we don't know what to prepare! However, everything is changing, and there are only two ways for this Li County Order to seize power, either to directly grab it, or to secretly develop its power and gradually encroach on it. Therefore, no matter what preparations he makes, we just need to respond to all changes with the same, as long as we block his two roads, plus our prestige in Jinling, he will definitely have nothing to do! However, although Wu Ning said so, he didn't think so in his heart, because he couldn't feel Li Yi's pulse, and if he could think of this, Li Yi would definitely be able to think of it, but since this was the case, Li Yi was still preparing, presumably what he was brewing was definitely not trivial, what he was afraid of was that Li Yi would directly crush them with a thunderous force. In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is useless. However, Wu Ning was certainly worried, but he couldn't say that he couldn't let the four major families have civil strife.

The second Lu Zheng also nodded after hearing this. "Yes, our priority now is to defend well. But I heard that one of Li County's subordinates is training in secret, fourth brother, there is nothing wrong with your group of arrests, right? ”

The fourth elder slapped the table. "Second brother, don't worry, my gang of cubs are definitely the top elites, even if they are allowed to practice for another year, they will definitely not be able to compare to my Jinling Guards. But second brother, why don't we take the initiative instead of being passively defensive? You know, the best defense is offense! ”

Wu Ning frowned. "Fourth brother, don't be reckless, don't forget, the most important thing now is that the court and the family are at war, and we can't take the initiative to provoke any party. Although we have a lot of power in Jinling, we are not fart for the imperial court. Therefore, we must not take the initiative to attack and completely offend the imperial court, in this case, even if we lose, we will have a glimmer of life, you know, if he Li Yi wants to develop Jinling, our four families are definitely the best helpers. But once you take the initiative to attack, the situation will be bad, it is equivalent to completely standing on the opposite side of the imperial court, and at that time, we will win the struggle with Li Xianling, we will not survive, and if we lose, we will not survive. Unless the family can defeat the imperial court, we may still have a chance to live, but that hope is too slim! ”

Sun Xian: "Yes, what the third said is right, we must not kill ourselves, everything must have a degree, our purpose now is not to offend the imperial court, but also to let Li County Ling see our strength." So, don't be reckless! ”

Zhang Xing smiled. "Don't worry, three brothers, I'm just talking about it, and I won't take the initiative to provoke them."

Sun Xian nodded. "So be it! Let's go back and get ready! ”

"Yes!"

......

However, no matter how the situation changes in Chang'an, it doesn't matter how the dark tide is surging in Jinling. Li Yi doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know, his only wish now is to make glass, as long as he can succeed, then the chess game he faces will be alive in an instant, and he will have the absolute initiative.

It's just that the difficulty of making glass is far more difficult than he imagined. Among them, the difficulty of controlling the temperature is beyond Li Yi's imagination. Even if Li Yi divides the experiment into 20 groups, each step divides the temperature into 20 gradients and conducts the experiment at the same time. But just like that, more than ten days have passed, and progress is still slow, and it can even be said that there is no progress at all.

Even the most basic smelting is not qualified.

Li Yi basically slept for two hours a day for the past ten days, and then went out to eat, and the rest of the time was dedicated to making glass, just like that, Li Yi persisted for more than ten days, these more than ten days, her face was not washed, her beard was not shaved, she looked extremely embarrassed, and she was also extremely decadent.

Finally, on the fourteenth day, he could not hold it anymore, and during the meal, as soon as his mind was relaxed, he actually fell asleep while eating.

Li Yi has been sleeping for five hours this night, and he has slept dimly, which is also because no one else wants to wake him up, and Li Yi's efforts in the past few days have been seen in their eyes and hurt in their hearts. Although they didn't know what Li Yi was going to do, they were all impressed by Li Yi's hard work, and even Lei Gang, an iron man, was secretly smacking his tongue, and he couldn't imagine this kind of intense work. He also secretly admired, he really didn't know how much energy was contained in this fifteen-year-old body.

After Li Yi woke up, he was secretly annoyed, at such a critical time, he actually fell asleep, but there was no way, he knew that he had reached the limit. It's only been more than half a month, and there has been no progress in the production of glass, and he is in his eyes and anxious in his heart. Now Li Yi has a mouth full of mouth ulcers. But he can't take care of it, Li Yi's biggest advantage is that as long as he believes in something, he must do it to the end, and never give up until the last moment.

Maybe God was moved by Li Yi's persistence. On the fifteenth day after Li Yi and the others started, Lan Wei finally brought him a piece of good news, when he was collecting rapeseeds, he accidentally found two Western aliens who could make glass. He knew that Li Yi was looking for such a person again, so he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent it to Li Yi.

When Li Yi heard this, he couldn't believe it at first, he really didn't expect the 1 in 10,000 chance to be bumped into by him. Li Yi was happy like a child, jumping and jumping, and he almost held Lan Wei's fat face and kissed it, so he didn't hear what Lan Wei said about "spinach" and "lettuce".

It is no wonder that Li Yi is happy to have the addition of these two "professionals", coupled with Li Yi's theoretical foundation. The progress of glass making is rapid.

Soon, on the twenty-fifth day after Li Yi and the others began, there was a continuous and earth-shattering shout from the porcelain kiln.

Glass, made successfully!
