"Tell me, how did you do that?" The people who sent away Zheng Wangfu, Song Laosan seemed to be living in a dream, and two days ago, he was threatened by this royal Dao to ask him to hand over the method of winemaking, and now he has become a special wine supplier of Zheng Wangfu, and the speed of this matter is beyond his expectations.

Wang Mai told Song Laosan in detail everything he had done: "This is the way things are, if it were in the past, we would have to swallow this breath." When is this now? Wang Shichong made it clear that he wanted to be the emperor, for fear that now people would say that he was not good at all, and this Wang Dao was brainless. ”

"If you want me to say, it's not that this royal Dao is brainless, it's that there are too many twists and turns in the hearts of you scholars, such a thing, others don't dare to think about it, you actually went to King Zheng's mansion to make such a fuss. If it's someone else, it's too late to hide, it's all human, why aren't you different? What's this brain? ”

"Okay, don't talk nonsense here, now that our royal business is done, you don't have to worry about the little people outside. Lao Huang and they are also bitter, and they are fighting wits and courage with these people all day long, and it is time to raise wages to their brothers. Wang Mai said.

"Mention it?" Song Laosan glared, "Five hundred wen a month, where to find such an errand, you are better to these people than I am to them." ”

Wang Mai scratched his head: "We have earned so much, and soon we will be a rich businessman, and there is no place to spend this money, so give them the same salary, and then improve the living conditions of the brothers." "I'm still not used to being the boss, and I always feel like I'm exploiting my employees.

"Brother Wheat, you don't know a truth, this person, he was willing to work hard when he was poor, if you really want these people to become rich masters one by one, will they be willing to do it?"

"That's reasonable," Wang Mai nodded, "Then you can just watch it, anyway, don't treat the brothers badly." Besides, I guess there must be more than one winery to buy them, so don't just pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon. ”

"Don't worry!" Song Laosan patted his chest, "These brothers I am looking for are all people with bones, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get along with Song Laosan." But you, now that you have offended this royal inquiry, I am afraid that it will not be too late for him to come to a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and he will hold a grudge against you.

Wang Mai didn't care at all whether Wang Daoxun would hold a grudge against him, Wang Shi wouldn't be the emperor for long, and it was estimated that the bones of the Wang family would be rotten ten ten years later, so what would he do to avenge himself.

The two were chatting when they heard Ping'er and Dabao's siblings coming back.

"Daddy...... Daddy...... "Ping'er was holding a big bird in her arms that she couldn't name, and Dabao followed with snot.

Song Laosan hurt these two baby bumps the most, and he was reluctant to scold them on weekdays, but now when he saw the big bird in Ping'er's arms, his face changed greatly: "Ping'er, where did you get this bird?" ”

"A lot of people chased this big bird, and it landed on the head of our house, so I climbed up and caught it." Ping'er touched the slippery feathers of the big bird and said proudly.

"Release this bird quickly, we can't keep it." Song Laosan lifted the bird from Ping'er's arms and walked outside.

"Dad, Ping'er caught it with great difficulty, why did you want to release it?" Ping'er pulled one of Song Laosan's arms and didn't let go, and Dabao also hugged his father's thigh, rubbing his pants with snot.

Wang Mai beckoned to the two of them: "Ping'er, Dabao, listen to your father, this bird is not a good bird, come here, uncle has something good for you." "These birds with red silk around their necks are still a trick played by Wang Shichong, whoever catches these birds and presents them, they are called auspicious, and the people who offer them are rewarded, and the common people will be rewarded if they catch them, and the officials will be promoted if they are caught.

Song Laosan couldn't get over this threshold in his heart, and he still had some feelings for this great Sui Dynasty that existed in name only. Although he has long been regarded as Wang Shichong's subordinate, he has always felt that it is particularly awkward to step on the old master and promote himself. has been in the army for so many years, and he has already looked down on these, it is only right for a soldier to be promoted by military merit, and he is not short of money, why do he do such a thing that makes people poke their backbones.

"Oh!" Although Ping'er was still unhappy, she was a well-behaved person, and when she heard her father and uncle say this, she stopped insisting.

Song Laosan walked to the door and threw the big bird into the sky, and the big bird rolled in the air a few times, flapping its wings and flying high. When I returned to the house, I saw Ping'er and Dabao holding a crystal clear orb in their hands, and their eyes widened.

"Dad, do you think this bead is beautiful?" Ping'er took the glass ball and happily showed it to Song Laosan, "Uncle gave it to me just now, there is a flower in it." ”

"I have it too." Dabao also held the beads in his hand and handed them to Song Laosan.

"Brother Wheat, what are you doing here, such a valuable thing has been broken for a child." Song Laosan took the glass ball and looked at the light coming in through the window for a long time and complained.

Valuable? Wang Mai smiled, when he was a child, he had a big box. But now this thing is really not cheap, since the White Horse Temple's glass workshop opened to him, when he is bored, he does something strange to pass the time.

The biggest obstacle to the mass production of glass is the furnace temperature, the kiln in the workshop is not stable at all, and it is rare to burn the frit, and most of the time it is only to make the frit into a semi-solid form that is easy to mold. Due to the lack of knowledge of chemistry, it is also very difficult to control the color, which is simply a problem that cannot be solved now.

Wang Wheat had tried his best to raise the temperature of the furnace so that they could grind the charcoal and blow it in, and the outlet of the bellows had preheated the air, but in the end it had limited effect. Thinking of this, he shook his head, even in the special period of the previous life, the whole country made steel, and many of those earthen kilns were guided by the technical personnel of the steel mill, so they could not meet the requirements, not to mention that he was a half-witted person who didn't even understand the smelting knowledge.

Many things, even if you know the principle, are limited by objective conditions and difficult to figure out. What we need to do now is not to raise the existing level of science and technology to a high level, but to give this scientific and technological desert a Mars. Like that little blue pill, it doesn't give you more time, it makes you harder to get harder.

Otherwise, even if you take out all the scientific knowledge that can be taken out in your head, at most let the man who does not lift the feudal dynasty be hard for a while, but after all, it will not solve his unspeakable secrets. After all, a person's ability is limited, even if he is covered in iron, how many nails can he hit?

He can't build an airplane tank, and even if he can, he can't build it under such conditions. The formula of the gunpowder recipe is known, what is the use? The firearms of the Ming Dynasty were already very common, and Chongzhen was still forced to hang himself on the coal mountain by a group of peasants led by Li Zicheng.

Confucianism is not in a thousand ways, but at least the cultivation of a person's temperament is worthy of affirmation. Wen Tianxiang, Fang Xiaoru, Deng Shichang, you say that he is pedantic or loyal, at least when the building is about to fall, he still retains the backbone of the nation, so that those of us who come after us can believe in something.

Wang Mai did not know the technology to make glass, but he knew that the reason why China did not develop a glass manufacturing industry like that of medieval Europe was not because the technology could not be reached, but because there was no demand. China has porcelain, and although porcelain requires high firing technology, the threshold for technology is lower than that of glassmaking. Therefore, although porcelain is the pride of Chinese culture, it also hinders the development of the glass industry.

Now Wang Mai wants to show the optical role of glass to the world, which is to create demand for the market. In a market economy, demand is overwhelming, and where there is demand, there is motivation. The manufacture of lenses that meet the requirements requires high-quality colorless glass, and this is the demand, with which glass is no longer a material that can be replaced by porcelain. Those merchants with a keen sense of smell, skilled craftsmen, and all those who are interested in lenses will devote their energies to the glass manufacturing industry, and it will not be long before the efforts of everyone will continue to emerge in a steady stream of glass materials.

Guozijian has returned to its former prosperity today, because Wang Shichong came, and he also brought a lot of dogs from the palace with his might.

Kong Yingda pulled a face and led the people of the country to greet him at the door, it was Lao Xu and Wang Mai who said all the good things on the side that made him suppress the mustard in his heart.

"It's too much of a ritual to sacrifice wine." Wang Shichong saw that Kong Yingda was not as cold as before, and he was overjoyed, and walked over in three or two steps to help Lao Kong.

Wang Mai pursed his lips and looked at his coquettish attitude, this person was really impeccable on the surface.

Kong Yingda withdrew his hand from Wang Shichong in disgust: "I don't know what King Zheng is doing when he arrives?" ”

"Okay," Wang Shichong's hearty laughter could be heard two miles away, "let's go in first." ”

Kong Yingda stood in front of him and refused to move a step, and everyone present was shocked, for fear that this Wang Shichong would turn his face and chop up this old guy on the spot and feed it to the dog.

"King Zheng arrived, Kong Saijiu was too excited, he wouldn't go this way...... Wang Mai hurriedly came out and pulled him aside, and the old Xu Xu Wenyuan next to him stepped forward to lead the way for Wang Shichong.

"Kong sacrificial wine, why are you so suffering?" Wang Mai sighed beside Kong Yingda in a low voice.

"Such a rebellious minister and thief......" Before Kong Yingda could finish speaking, Wang Mai covered his mouth.

"Lao Kong, you are also straighter. People are under the roof and have to bow their heads, what is the use of you dying here today? He, Wang Shichong, won't lose a single hair, wouldn't it be better to keep his golden body and do something for the benefit of the country and the people? ”

Kong Yingda tilted his head angrily, with a look of disagreement.

"Think about it, this Wang Shichong has done some good things, don't keep thinking about his bad side." Wang Mai stroked his back and gave him a good breath, but don't make the old man angry.

"Fart!" Kong Yingda scolded an unprecedentedly swear word, "How could this Wang Shichong ever do a good thing?" ”

"Be quiet." Wang Mai hurriedly reminded him, "Think about it, now the academic style in Luoyang City is so prosperous, comparable to the pre-Qin hundred schools of thought, if he hadn't tied up all of you Confucians to Luoyang, how could there be such a grand occasion, so everything has to be seen from both sides, there are advantages and disadvantages." ”

"And so we have to thank him." Kong Yingda said with a sneer.

"That's not necessary," Wang Mai helped him slowly walk into the gate, "But this time he has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, if there is any request for a while, you can agree to it, don't come hard, just let me beg you." ”

To put it mildly, Kong Yingda was finally appeased, and the two of them entered the meeting hall of Guozijian, and saw Wang Shichong sitting on the main seat chatting with Lao Xu.

"Confucius sacrificial wine, this king came this time to discuss this Zen Dynasty etiquette with the great Confucians of the country, you are all well-educated, you must be familiar with it." Wang Shichong saw Kong Yingda coming in, and said straight to the point.

Wang Mai tightly grasped Kong Yingda's hand to prevent him from having any chance to run wild, and everyone present except Wang Shichong was in a cold sweat. Wang Shichong finally tore off the last mask and was about to come to this point.
