Chapter Seventy-One: Old Man
The demise of the old glass guild and the birth of the new glass workshop were on the same day, and from this day onwards there was only glass with a paper label of the Nan'an Glass Factory with gum attached to it, and there was no rest of the glass. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The glass of the rest of the counties has no chance to enter the market of Mincheng at all, and the individual people are simply unable to compete with this new glass factory, it seems that the guild is gone, but everything that the guild should have exists.
Soon after, the vigorous and vulgar flowing water mat was opened on the ruins of the original charity trading house, and the gongs and drums were beating lively, and Chen Jian could finally pat his chest and say that his fame was well known in Mincheng.
Behind the excitement, the lawsuit about the trading company and the original glass guild is still continuing, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is actually just a formality to force Tian Wenliang to quit completely.
As for the disability of the hired workers, it is not really the concern of the law or the magistrate. Now that the Glass Guild has been dissolved, it will be much easier for this lawsuit to be adjudicated.
Under the fierce condemnation of public opinion and Tian Wenliang's body, the council removed Tian Wenliang from his membership.
Most of the original workshop owners of the Glass Guild came forward to have nothing to do with the previous hire-worker brawls, and normally all this responsibility can be pushed on the hire-workers, but Tian Wenliang is now a water dog, so some of the responsibility can be pushed onto him, and by the way, to comfort the injured hire-workers.
The trading company and Tian Wenliang each paid half of the compensation to the injured employees, and Tian Wenliang needed to compensate the trading company for the damage caused by the burning, and the trading company and the new glass factory jointly came forward to guarantee the whereabouts of the employees, and everyone was happy.
As for the matter of lynching to extract confessions, it is also a formality, because waterboarding will not break arms and legs, let alone things that leave indelible scars such as cannon branding, so it was sentenced to two years of labor in the government-run mines, and Chen Jian came forward to promise to give 100 silver coins plus work after returning, so the people who resisted the incident did not care and thought that they had changed their fate.
It started vigorously and ended quietly, and soon after the news of Tian Wenliang's hemiplegia came, and there was not too much splash. As for the dozen or so hired workers who were sore and had broken bones, they were quickly forgotten and stopped caring.
Instead of caring about this, it is better to care about a secondary school built by the charity trading company in Nan'an, where children who have completed enlightenment can be admitted after passing the exam, can receive the lowest scholarship without taking their own money, and can also have priority to enter the new workshop to work after completing their studies.
If a charity trading company is good, then what has been against a charity trading company before must be bad.
Most people don't care about Tian Wenliang's ending, so naturally they don't know that one day and at a certain time, an old man who was paralyzed and struggling to move on crutches came to his glass workshop where he had not lit a fire for a long time, sat in front of the workshop, and asked his family to light the stove that was useless at all, and put the materials in it to melt.
The old man stared at the red fire and the frit in the crucible, struggled to stand up, picked up an iron pipe with the arm of the other half that could still move, picked up a little glass slurry, opened his mouth, which was actually trembling and couldn't even speak, and put it on the blowpipe, blowing with his numb tongue, but always spit a lot of saliva into it.
The round bottle that could have been shaken out by the wrist is now deformed like this hemiplegic person.
After blowing for a long time, he couldn't blow it into shape, but he didn't stop, he still picked it and continued, until finally he didn't know what he thought of, threw away the blowpipe, and the big man howled and cried......
Soon after, the house where the hired man stood at the door and angrily accused the people inside of being blood-sucking filthy maggots was sold, and the former owner inside did not know where to go, and disappeared in Mincheng.
Occasionally, someone may remember and ask a question in a small talk. The person who answered always shook his head, and said indifferently Who knows, maybe he is old and dead, what are you talking about? Let's talk about the fact that a charity trading company built a new house on the original ruins, which seems to be very high......
…………
As the victor of this devouring, a new glass factory is under construction, and with the injection of new capital, the purchase of raw materials and the expansion of production do not require Chen Jian's own money.
Chen Jian finally had a lot of money on his own, and he was finally able to get some of the funds in his hands to the charity trading company and expand the rest of his workshops in Nan'an.
After discussing with Hu Lin, the charity trading company was finally able to buy two offshore ships to do some transshipment trade, and at the same time seize the time to build sales channels in neighboring counties and open up the situation in nearby counties as soon as possible.
If there is a ship, in addition to transferring glass, you can also help Chen Jian sell the rest of the products, and if you can't do it, you can also resell silk, cotton, porcelain, ironware and the like.
However, sea ships need to be booked, Chen Jian pondered that he could try to ask the shipyard to build a ship that could sail far away, and temporarily went to the shipyard to book two offshore hard sailing ships.
Chen Jian in the capital decided to wait until the beginning of spring next year to go with Hu Lin, it just so happens that next year is the year of the traditional athletic conference that lasts for many years, and he can make a fuss.
Hu Lin has friends in the capital, and Chen Jian feels that he can still make some big moves, and it is not a big problem to rely on fame and connections to open the market in the capital.
Delaying to go to the capital in the spring of next year, Chen Jian really has no choice. Selling glass and the like was just one of them, and he had to prepare a few very important pieces of equipment for experiments before the beginning of spring.
The mood of trying to go to sea is already imminent, but there are too many risks at sea, and it is unknown to die in the belly of a fisherman, so before going to sea, it is necessary to complete several important experiments in front of everyone, lay the foundation for the various disciplines that follow, and even if you die, someone will continue to complete the train of thought.
He knew what his senior brother Li Yun was here for, especially after Li Yun agreed to stay here for a month, Jian Chen was really busy and was about to go crazy.
During the day, he had to prepare all kinds of things, and at night he had to stay up late to complete a system of all the speculations he had written to Mr. Mu before, so that Li Yun could bring them back.
The previous system was incomplete, and many questions needed to be answered logically, and the purpose of Li Yun and others was to sort out these contents and bring them back to the capital after discussion, so as to avoid misunderstandings caused by written correspondence.
There were a lot of preparations to be made, and within a month, Jian Chen simply lived an inhuman life, and he exhausted his mind for this. In addition to completing and discussing his system with his senior brother, he also had to prepare some gifts for Li Yun to go back.
Different people need different gifts, but Jian Chen believes that the gifts he has prepared will definitely be liked by his brother or husband.
Two bags of superphosphate fertilizer are prepared for concentrated sulfuric acid and co-crystallization of ashes, two bags of ammonium salt made from crude ammonia and acid, and two sets of concentrated sulfuric acid and protective utensils to prevent half-time breakage.
These are all expensive things, but Chen Jian feels that the money is well spent.
In addition, there are glassware made of borax and potassium carbonate that are not easy to burst, and I found the best glass-blowing craftsmen for a month, and made a large number of indispensable equipment such as curved neck flasks, test tubes, alcohol lamps, flasks, funnel beakers, etc.
A special box was prepared, and these utensils were packed together, and some specifications for the use of utensils were written, along with reagents and preparation methods such as litmus juice.
After completing all this a month later, Li Yun and the others basically understood a lot of things they didn't understand before, and they thought about returning to the capital as soon as possible to sort out these things.
"Senior brother, I won't go to the capital first, and we'll see you next spring. Say hello to my husband and send these gifts for me. ”
"Sir will like it, and we will complete that experiment of yours as soon as we get back."
Jian Chen took out a small notebook from his arms and handed it over: "There are some things, I summarized them when I opened the workshop, you can take them back." There are some very common problems, such as not to smell or taste the liquid after the experiment, such as whether the concentrated acid and water are sour before water or water before acid...... It's all about the experience of exchanging lives and scars. ”
"Also, you must be careful on the road, some things are fragile, and some things will be dangerous if they are spilled, but there is no way to do it."
Li Yun took it and sighed: "I thought that you would go back with me this time, but I always felt that the things you did here were actually better than going to the school palace to specialize in learning." ”
"I can't help myself. If only I had been born with a golden key in my family, I would be very rich. As you can see, I still have workshops to expand here, and I am looking forward to you studying knowledge in the capital, and I will turn it into something practical. When you get back, I will ask him to help me find a skilled scale-maker, and to help me find a highly skilled draftsman. ”
"Well, I made a note of it. Senior brother, then don't pass by, see you next spring. Earlier, how could there be a disciple like you? ”
Li Yun shook his head and said in a mournful voice: "Senior brother, I came this time to discuss these things with you, but there is another very important matter. ”
With a little sadness, he finally said: "Don't push anymore, Mr.'s body is getting worse day by day." ”
Only then did Jian Chen understand and was speechless.
Li Yun didn't say anything more, just pinched Jian Chen's shoulder hard, turned around and got on the boat.
