Chapter 260: Treasures

Tall, short, fat and thin, black and white, beautiful and ugly, including the greed that instantly swelled up in the eyes of some people, were all reflected in this huge glass mirror that was eight feet high and three feet wide.

It's not that there are no mirrors in this era, but the best of those mirrors are only made of bronze, the size is only a few inches, and the figures reflected are not too clear, and they are limited by the reflective ability of the material, the distance is a little farther, the angle is a little off, and it begins to be distorted, and it is impossible to reflect all the people around them like a glass mirror.

The biggest use of the mirror is to groom the woman's seat, and in any era, even if it is the end of the way people feed on the soil, in the high-walled courtyard, there is no shortage of peerless beauties who smile and fall into the city, and there is no shortage of high-rollers who spend a lot of money for the beauty in the dance pavilion, therefore, after a moment of distraction, most of the vendors under the booth quickly realized the value of this thing, and some even couldn't hold it anymore, and rushed directly to the side door of the Huaiyang business, ready to buy the mirror at the first time and sell it to all parts of the country. Others grabbed their servants and commanded in a roaring voice, "Quick, come with me back to Madame to get the money, take the gold, take as much as you can, buy, buy the stock notes, and after this village, I guarantee that there will be no more of this shop." ”

"Grandma, why did you forget this stubble, you can't sell mirrors and you can't buy stocks." As the so-called word woke up the dreamer, the surrounding spectators covered their purses with their hands, followed the first wave of people who woke up, and rushed towards the side door of the Huaiyang firm like crazy, preparing to rush to the last time before today's closing, exchange all the money on their bodies for the share capital of the Huai'an firm, and start to sit on the ground and make money tomorrow.

At this time, there is no need for Zhu Bayi to explain anything again, unlike cement, soap and other things, he still needs to do some demonstrations, so that everyone can understand its use, the excited faces in the mirror have already demonstrated what everyone wants to know, and smiled proudly, he called Yu Changlin and Zheng Ziming, and handed over the next matter to deal with the collaborators and the shopkeepers, and handed over the two of them to be responsible, and then walked briskly and left.

Let professional people do professional things, this is an important principle he learned from the memory of another world, and the negotiation of business with partners, ten of them add up, I am afraid it is not as good as a big family since childhood as a rake to raise Zheng Ziming, manipulating all kinds of means, dealing with the opponents in the territory in the open and in the dark, he also thinks that he is far inferior to Lu Luzeng, who has been an official all his life, as for training and fighting, when the fur he learned from the other world is used up, he is also slowly Xu Da, Hu Dahai, Wu Yongchun and Wu Liangmou are left behind, as for the poetry and fancy articles, if he doesn't do the copyist, he is afraid that he is not as good as any old boy who has tried and failed in this era, so instead of causing trouble to others in the field he is not good at, it is better to save a little time and use his mind on what he is best at.

And what he is best at, in addition to the accumulation of six hundred years of history, is probably the manufacture of industrial products, and the soul of the engineering house from another world, although he has no conscience to return most of his knowledge to the school, but twelve years of compulsory education, plus four years of university engineering, after all, is not in vain, plus several years of actual combat at the grassroots level, it is enough for him to deal with most of the industrial problems of the Middle Ages.

Therefore, when it was decided to resettle the more than 600,000 victims of the disaster in Yangzhou City as an industrial and commercial population, Zhu Eighty-one naturally thought of the two primary industrial products with the lowest raw materials, cement and glass, the former has a wide range of applications, even if the quality cannot be compared with the industrial cement of later generations, at least, in the construction of city walls and houses, it is much better than glutinous rice slurry mixed with clay, and the actual cost is not higher than the latter.

As for glass, Zhu Eighty-one can think of it for the first time, because of its wonderful "money", you know, even in the twenty-first century in another world, there are still shameless businessmen, who treat high-purity quartz glass as "ice jade" or "artificial crystal" to fool, and can sell it at a dumbfoundedly high price, almost the same level of products to the fourteenth century, of course, there is no local tyrant to pursue, not to mention, really in a hurry, he can also ask Lu Luzeng and others to come out, I did a lot of fancy articles around this glass product, and then called it "feelings"

Making gunpowder, cement, soap, and glass, looking back at the crowd that had fallen into a state of half-madness, Zhu Eighty-one suddenly saw that he had walked more and more unscrupulously on the road of the traverser, but at this moment, he did not have any panic in his heart, on the contrary, it was more of a pride that had finally not come back in vain.

In the traversal story that Zhu Dapeng has read in another world, any liberal arts student can become a generation of writers by plagiarizing the masterpieces of later generations, and he can make Cai Jing and Yan Song such scheming traitors as Cai Jing and Yan Song be tricked around, and he advanced the perfect formula of black powder by more than a hundred years, and moved the glass mirror from Venice to Yangzhou of almost the same era, what is there to be afraid of, and many crafts, for the skilled craftsmen of this era, are actually a piece of window paper, It's just that someone stretched out a finger to poke it.

However, in the production and manufacturing of glass, he still spent a lot of effort, this thing appeared in China very early, no later than the Han Dynasty, in the Yuan Dynasty of the top rich people, it is not difficult to see, but as of the moment he began to try to fire glass, Chinese craftsmen still have not been able to overcome the problem of glass decolorization and suppression, so whether it is the imperial court of the pot jade bureau, or the folk medicine jade kiln, what is fired is a colorful ball of glass blank, not only the color is completely determined by God, its turbidity Cheng dù, It is also often embarrassing, so it can often only be carved into some expensive ornaments and ornaments, which are not looked down upon by large families, and ordinary people cannot afford to climb high, and their status is very embarrassing.

In the memory of Zhu Eighty-one's other world, there is not much content about glass production, but the basic context is very clear, in addition to the high temperature generated by coke, so that the raw materials are melted more thoroughly, in terms of material screening, it is also tried to avoid quartz sand with more impurities, and the use of pure quartz stone with relatively high cost, hand-selected colorless large pieces, and then ground into powder into the furnace, anyway, glass in a short period of time, is destined to take the high-end route, a small increase in cost does not need to be considered at all.

As for the most difficult problem of turbidity and decolorization, it adopted the method used in the original trial production of artillery, gave a general direction, and then led the craftsmen, divided into multiple groups of public relations, regardless of the cost of repeated practice, so that regardless of the cost of the production of the original blank, the residual mineral color has been very light, and the transparency is basically not inferior to the "big glass" transported from the sea, used to press glasses, glass plates and other glass objects, basically can be regarded as up to the standard, but from Zhu Eighty-one to understand the quartz glass, There is still a certain gap in zài.

Therefore, he re-screened and classified dozens of formulas summarized by various groups of craftsmen in practice, divided the direction, and simply exhibited the process of producing colored glass liquid in a more gorgeous direction; The production process of colorless glass, which has been close to the later generations, is kept improving, coupled with the white arsenic that has been strictly prohibited in later generations, but is widely circulated in the three no-free enterprises, a kind of quartz glass with high energy consumption, high pollution and high cost, is finally baked.

Due to the unstable quality, the impure parts of each batch are naturally returned to the furnace to make all kinds of utensils, and the parts that meet the standards are selected for the manufacture of mirrors and some other secret uses, and then after a few days of careful preparation, a perfect glass product exhibition is finally completed.

Finding his own place again, Zhu Eighty-one was of course refreshed, but he had only left a dozen steps from the booth, and the old Jinshi Lu Luzeng had already greeted him with a blue face.

"The lord wants to use the skills of the Mo family to chase the world, and the ministers are old, and they can't bear to be left and right, so they come to beg the bones of the lord." Before Zhu Bayi took the initiative to say hello, the old master came with a big string of heads.

For people of this era, he has passed the age of seventy, and he is definitely in his last years, so he does not take personal life and death honor and disgrace very seriously, and the only remaining hope is to see how far his chosen grandson-in-law can go in this life, and what kind of glory and happiness can he bring to his granddaughter.

So for the recent period of time, Zhu Eighty-one pushed all the big and small things to himself and Su Mingzhe and others, and plunged into the workshop to fiddle with the glass, the old master was very dissatisfied, in his opinion, although artillery and muskets can push the Huai'an army's combat power to the point of unparalleled in the world with the fastest degree, but the weapon is still a small technique, and what can really be used to control the world is still the Confucian mastery that has been passed down from the Western Han Dynasty to the present, and has been proven by history to be feasible.

However, Zhu Eighty-one took out a small object from the guard's hand, and completely lost the old master's temper, it was a small thing made of two pieces of top-grade glass that had been carved and polished, inlaid in a frame made of tortoiseshell, and there was a shelf on the left and right, which was supported on the ear, and immediately became Lu Luzeng's other pair of eyes, and the external world that had been blurred for many years instantly became extremely clear.

"This thing is reading glasses, which my grandson-in-law got by chance in the workshop, and I specially took it out to honor your old age." Taking advantage of the fact that Lu Lu had been startled by the sudden regain of the clear world in front of him, Zhu Bayi said with a smile.

Then, Xun bypassed the old master and walked away quickly.
