Mu Yongjiang was stunned!

How could the plot be like this?

Didn't Su Baiyi come to beg me? I'm proud of his eagle?

I thought I was going to kill his sharp spirit, but how did I think this guy would be so tough?

Thinking about what Su Baiyi said again, his liver hurt again!

Divided into three?

Pay you back seven and me three?

Are you a fool to me?

When my Mu family is easy to bully?

I really think that I am in control of the Guide Mansion, and I am still far away!

"Master, I think it's better to teach them a lesson!" Scarface walked into the hall from the outside with a gloomy face, "The surname Su is too unusual." ”

"He's very sneering, don't look at him pretending to be twenty-five or eighty-thousand, in fact, he's here to fill the garlic, don't pay attention to him, wait a few days, he still wants to beg me!"

Mu Yongjiang thought that the initiative was still in his hands.

After all, the two hundred acres of land within the planning scope of Yuyuan are in his hands, these lands are legal, and he is the scribe of Guide Mansion, although the Zhou family of the Hou family is standing behind Su Baiyi, but these big families have to be faced, and they are even more afraid of those officials in the Yushitai, so it is unlikely to help Su Baiyi "do evil".

This is his biggest reliance on Mu Yongjiang.

"Master, but Su Baiyi is Su Baiyi after all, not to be underestimated!" Scarface sincerely suggested, there was still one sentence in his heart that he hadn't said, that is: All the guys who opposed Su Baiyi, including the prefect Qin Youde, no one got the benefits!

"No problem!" Mu Yongjiang waved his hand: "Didn't you see it, he jumped off the wall in a hurry to use such a trick." Mu Yongjiang waved his hand indifferently: "The cloth industry is not as good as other industries, and I am not Qiu San and Wang Minde's gang of dogs." Besides......" A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "If it really doesn't work, don't we still have a second master?" ”

Second master!

Scarface's face moved, and he nodded.

The second master is Mu Yongjiang's distant second cousin, his name is Tian Zhi, his official position is not big or small, and he is the same as Qin Youde, the prefect of Guide, who is the fifth grade, which is not unusual, but in fact it is a controversial existence.

Jinyi Weibei Town, Fusi Yamen, under the jurisdiction of Henan Thousand Households!

The local Jinyiwei is still a thousand households with five products, and it can be regarded as the leader of the Jinyiwei on the border of Henan. Such a person, not to mention that officials at the same level are afraid of him, even those bigwigs of the Political Envoy Department dare not offend.

This is the confidence of the Mu family to become the richest man in Guide Mansion, and it is also the fundamental reason why the Mu family has controlled the fish scale book of Guide Mansion for generations.

Because the Mu family has a good relative, there is a hereditary Jinyiwei family relative.

But Su Baiyi didn't know this.

When he returned to the temporary headquarters, he received news from Fu Lin.

Glass firing starts today!

Such an exciting historical moment, Su Baiyi must and must be on the scene to witness.

Moreover, if something goes wrong, he would save the scene as soon as possible, right?

The firing process of glass is no different from before.

The bottom floor of the tall glass firing furnace is the fuel chamber, above which are two spaces, the middle is the glass melting chamber, and the upper is the finished product tempering chamber.

There is also a crucible glass furnace, which is slightly different from the first glass furnace.

Therefore, when firing glass, at least two furnaces are started.

The first step is to fire the vitreous.

A raging fire burned under the fuel chamber, and the temperature of the firing chamber in the middle rose instantly.

Su Baiyi asked Fu Lin to personally handle the quartz stone from Fengyang Mansion to the scene, and directly took fifty catties and smashed it for the first time, mixed it with quicklime and soda ash according to a certain quality ratio and put it into the firing room.

Then came the anxious, long but exciting wait.

It took about an hour for the mixture in the glass firing chamber to be fired into a molten state.

"Alright, take it out!"

Su Baiyi gave an order, and Liu Cheng, who had the greatest strength, rushed to the front, took out the glass from the firing chamber along with the container, and cooled it in the air for another quarter of an hour.

"It's done!"

The students looked at the vitreous block and became excited.

The vitreous material fired with real quartz stone this time is much stronger than the last time it was casually made with sand, and it looks crystal clear, except for some impurities at the bottom, it is even more beautiful than jade in other places.

"Sir, that's amazing!"

"Sir's method is indeed correct."

Su Baiyi also nodded, "Don't be a sycophant, hurry up and remove the impurities below." But he was happy in his heart, and secretly said: Sure enough, the things that were fired last time were nondescript, and they were related to raw materials.

After a while, several disciples knocked the original large piece of vitreous into several pieces, and knocked down the lowest impurity block and threw it away, and the remaining ten or so pieces were large and small, and the total weight was estimated to be nearly 100 catties.

Su Baiyi held a small piece in his hand, squinted his eyes at the sun, and nodded.

As mentioned in the book, the glass blocks that were refined for the first time were not only filled with dense small bubbles, but also had some color shifts, looking green as if they had been fished out of the lake!

The second step of the process is to remove the bubbles and color casts in the vitreous to obtain a truly perfect translucent dense vitreous without bubbles, which is only half the success.

How to remove bubbles and green in vitreous matter, the book naturally gives several methods, and the effect remains to be verified.

Su Baiyi was a little impatient, pointed to the glass block and said, "Okay, the second furnace can be opened." ”

The second furnace is the furnace required for the second step, which is slightly different from the previous furnace of the first step, not only has one more chamber, but also has a small hole at the top for the steel bar to be inserted, and a drawer-like small window is made outside the furnace cavity to facilitate the observation of the vitreous removal of pigment and bubbles inside at any time.

Fu Lin took out a smaller crucible again, although small, but it looked deeper than the large crucible, and the industry of production was different. When the small crucible was made, something called graphite was added to it, and Su Baiyi told them that this small crucible could not only smelt glass, but even molten iron into steel.

But that's not his concern, Fu Lin is concerned about making glass right now.

Put about 20 catties of bubble vitreous in the crucible, and put the small crucible in the smelting room.

Add fire below, and the person above holds the steel bar and stirs constantly.

In fact, there is a hole in the lid of the crucible, otherwise the steel bar will not be able to reach in.

The vitreous matter was burned under the flames, and after a while, it showed a molten liquid state, and Su Baiyi threw the manganese dioxide purchased from the system into the crucible according to the designed amount, and let the people above accelerate the stirring.

Every five minutes, open the window of the chamber and look inside until the glass of water has completely faded.

"Okay, there's no color, but there's still a lot of bubbles!"

Su Baiyi took out the delicate fine salt purchased from the system, put it into the glass of water according to the quantity, and stirred it again.

There is salt in the Ming Dynasty, but it is generally dried sea salt from the seaside, not to mention the coarse particles, and it also contains a lot of impurities. The green salt dug up from the salt mine is pure, but the particles are too coarse to be used as a defoamer.

Therefore, as long as the refined salt and manganese dioxide are controlled in the hands, the formula of the glass will not be known to outsiders.

You know what, it's not like you can't do it.

Also, can you make a crucible?

Of course, the process of making glass is much more complicated than making soap, and even if the average person knows the raw materials or even the proportion of raw materials, they will not be able to produce them.

"Sir, it's all right!" Fu Lin, who was presiding over the work on the side, said to Su Baiyi.

"Okay, bring it here!"

A few students pushed a large iron platform over, on which was a whole piece of cast iron, glass chutes, cup models, and all kinds of models that Su Baiyi needed.

"Pour!"

Su Baiyi gave an order.

Liu Cheng, who was the most vigorous, quickly brought out the pure glass material from the furnace along with the crucible. The flowing vitreous matter is then poured onto the ice-cold mold at a very fast speed.

Of course, glassware can be molded or blown in!

Blowing techniques require skilled workers to get it just right, and he has no skilled workers at hand, so he can only use mold casting.

Icy weather, icy molds.

The vitreous begins to solidify almost as soon as it is poured into the mold.

Therefore, only three minutes later, Su Baiyi saw the first batch of glass products made by his students.

Five octagonal cups, two round glass jars of different sizes, and two square glass blocks, some each with convex and concave lenses.

Because the level of the casting mold is limited, one side of the concave and convex mirror is flat, and if you want to be convex on both sides or both sides are concave, you can only grind it carefully.

The octagonal cup is very large and heavy, and a cup weighs half a catty, because the small one is not easy to produce.

Therefore, after the first batch of products came out, the practicality was not very large, and it was just trial production.

However, I have to say that although it is a glass made by local law, the quality of the glass is still very good, the transparency is not much different from those glasses of later generations, and the pigment and bubbles are also very well removed.

"I'll make a better batch of molds for the buns." One of the conditions that must be met for the items used is that they are easy to use. If the cup is just beautiful and not practical, this is not in line with Su Baiyi's concept.

You can imagine what it would be like for a nobleman to drink tea with a half-pound cup.

Therefore, the wall thickness of the cup should be thin, the shape should be exquisite, and the bottom of the cup must also create the elm logo of the Yuyuan.

In addition to this, there is an important question.

Artificial!

Through the firing before and after, Su Baiyi learned that this local method of firing glass requires a lot of labor, if it is only twenty people under Fu Lin, how many glasses can be fired in a day?

Mass production becomes empty talk, labor costs increase, and in that case, glass becomes a luxury.

Naturally, this was not what he wanted to see.
