Chang'an, East Palace, Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, Youzhou is five hundred miles in an emergency, the original Youzhou is a five-pin court doctor, and Liu Chengyun has something to pay tribute." An old eunuch said in a shrill voice.

"Didn't I say that there is nothing big about it, don't bother me." A breathless voice came to mind in the room.

"Does the old slave want to send this to the Ministry of Rites now?" The old eunuch said with sincere fear, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and it is most difficult to guess the emperor's heart.

"Present it, I'll see what this old man who has gone home from dismissal is going to do."

"No." An old eunuch carried a gold silk purple cloth box into the imperial study

A big event has happened in Youzhou City recently.

The old lady of the Liu family, who was originally dismissed and went home, was suddenly rewarded by the emperor.

This is also a well-known event in the entire Youzhou.

At that time, when the father-in-law came to the Liu family with the holy decree in their mighty hands, many people saw it, and immediately gave the Liu family a flood of water, and the news of the final decree surprised everyone, and the old lady Liu who was dismissed was promoted to the assassin of Youzhou Xiazhou, from the fourth grade, not only the official was reinstated, but also promoted to a level.

This news brought the Liu family, who had been greatly injured, back to life in an instant, and even as soon as those fathers-in-law left, Yongkang Qianzhuang sent someone to lend three hundred taels of silver to the Liu family on the spot.

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the people were still living hard, although the new king ascended the throne and minted coins extensively, but the demand for currency was still very tight.

A bucket of rice in the early Tang Dynasty was only five yuan, and a thousand copper coins were equivalent to one tael of silver, and one stone of rice in ancient times was calculated according to 59 kilograms, and one tael of silver at that time was equivalent to the purchasing power of more than 1,000 yuan in later generations.

Therefore, Yongkang Qianzhuang's borrowing of 300 taels of silver from the Liu family this time is by no means small, 300,000 RMB!

The news that has not been encountered in ten years has also spread in Youzhou like wings,

All kinds of messages and speculations have also been circulating, what the old man of the Liu family wrote a statement and was seen by the emperor, and then the emperor appreciated him so he rewarded him, what the old man of the Liu family and the emperor have nine generations of blood ties and so on

However, no matter how fierce the rumors from the outside world blew, the place where the incident occurred was as calm as the eye of the storm in the center

Youzhou City of the Tang Dynasty, Liu's Mansion, and Martial Arts Field.

The originally vast Liufu martial arts field was already very crowded at this time, and all kinds of strange buildings were built, a dirt slope here, a stone slab there, and stoves were burned in many places, which made the land that was originally under the sun even hotter.

"Add charcoal, quickly add charcoal, this temperature has to be burned to 1700 °C for me, the one over there, yes, it's you, go and sue sù Li Gong them, and finally give me a little care when annealing the annealing kiln, so that the glass is evenly stressed to prevent self-breakage and self-cracking." A young man in a suit and leather shoes commanded a group of laborers to work under the scorching sun, and he looked at the dozen or so blank sheets of paper in his hand from time to time, revealing a thoughtful look.

Liu Dongliang looked at the young man not far away who was commanding his subordinates to do this and that, the 'returnee' in this daughter's mouth was simply a blessing from God to the Liu family this time.

People outside don't know why the Liu family can be favored by His Majesty the Emperor, but he, Liu Dongliang, as the head of the family, knows it very well in his heart.

When he quietly stuffed a silver ingot to the father-in-law who announced the decree, the father-in-law glanced at him meaningfully, and whispered in a low voice: "The miscellaneous family doesn't know anything else, but I know that the galloping horse Xiangrui of your Liu family's tribute this time made the saint Longyan happy, especially the four big characters engraved under the galloping horse, 'horse to success', so that His Majesty Xià simply can't put it down, the Holy Lord likes to ride and shoot, the world can see it, this object is simply regarded as a rare treasure by His Majesty, and now it is still placed on the table of the imperial study for His Majesty to play." ”

Whenever he thought of his father-in-law's envious eyes, Liu Dongliang was lucky for a while, fortunately he met him, and the more Liu Dongliang looked at the young man in the suit, the more pleasing he felt to the eye.

As soon as he looked at it, he saw his daughter standing next to him, with a pair of watery eyes, staring at the young man intently, obviously having fallen in love, Liu Dong's conscience was secretly happy, if he could rely on his daughter to tie up this wanderer from overseas, the Liu family would be prosperous, and it would be just around the corner.

Thinking of this, he coughed twice, woke up the daughter beside him, and then pretended to be stern: "Mengli, you see how hard Xu Gongzi works under the sun, why don't you go and serve tea and water to comfort others." ”

The woman was overjoyed and hurriedly replied, "Yes, my daughter obeys orders~." Then he took small steps and went down to serve water.

Looking at the talented and beautiful couple not far away, Liu Dongliang showed a knowing smile

The sun was moving slowly, Xu Yang looked at his watch, it was already more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the first batch of molten glass was about to be burned, and the rest was to send the molten glass into the tin tank, and then send the formed glass to the annealing kiln for annealing.

The crystal clear liquid glass flowed out of the furnace and into the tin tank, and everyone who saw it was stunned, it was really beautiful, as crystal as mercury.

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't touch the air too much, otherwise it will oxidize, we don't have a protective gas, so we have to act quickly." Xu Yang anxiously instructed everyone to quickly get all the molten glass into the tin tank.

Soon, all the molten glass was trapped in the tin bath.

"Come, now you guys take this slate back, drive the rollers to turn, and move this hardened glass to the annealing kiln." Xu Yang commanded several Great Khans to push the stone slabs.

Soon, the glass was completely cooled in the annealing kiln, Xu Yang took two clips and carefully clamped out a large piece of glass, only to see that this piece of glass was mixed with some green impurities, but the overall was still relatively transparent.

Everyone looked demented, and no one could have imagined that such a beautiful gem (in their eyes, glass is a gem) could be made under their own hands.

"Alas, it's not very qualified, I've been in Baidu for so long, and all the information has been checked clearly, it should be similar to modern glass, there are still some green impurities, forget it, the first time, it's still a success, and it can only be improved later." Xu Yang stood up, looked at the dozen or so pages of blank paper in his hand, and sighed helplessly.

Although it is a little difficult, the first step to come to Datang has finally been taken, whether it is a thorny mountain road or a flat avenue in front of me, I will go on without hesitation

Zhang Mazi is a guy at Tongfu Restaurant, and he goes to the West Market every afternoon to buy some fresh ingredients back to the restaurant, and his route passes in front of the Liu family's mansion, one of the best families in Youzhou.

A few days ago, there was a sudden tsunami disaster, the Liu family's fishing boat was severely damaged, and everyone said irresponsible things about the increasingly dilapidated Liu family, after all, the backbone of the Liu family, the old lady Liu of the five-grade civil official, was also dismissed, and Youzhou often suffered natural disasters these days, everyone said that the Liu family's gas was exhausted, and I am afraid that it is going to fall.

In those days, when he passed in front of Liu's house, Zhang Mazi felt that he was a little arrogant.

However, yesterday, someone came to the capital, a large group of father-in-law guards, Zhang Mazi was frightened, he had never seen such a big battle since he was a child, and finally I heard that it was the emperor who rewarded the old lady of the Liu family, not only restored his official position, but also promoted to a level, and became the history of Youzhou Xiazhou, and the official residence was from the fourth grade.

This time, Zhang Mazi didn't dare to be presumptuous again, and when he passed in front of Liu's mansion, he returned to the previous state of walking with his tail between his legs.

But when he walked in front of Liu's house today, he felt that something was wrong, a bunch of people, surrounded by a man with short hair and different clothes, I saw that the man was gesturing something from time to time, and a group of people nodded frequently.

Zhang Mazi suddenly became curious and wanted to see what they were going to do.

He walked to an alley in the distance, quietly showed a head, and looked at the gate of the Liu family, only to see the short-haired young man in different clothes gesturing something on the gate of the Liu family, and then four big men began to hold saws and axes to see the gate of the Liu family.

This scene almost made Zhang Mazi's jaw drop, how could there be a reason to see his own door, he couldn't take his eyes off it, and soon the four big men sawed the two gates out of a square hole one meter wide, and then when Zhang Mazi was puzzled, several strong men carefully carried a crystal plate to the front of the gate, and set the two crystal plates into a dug square hole, from a distance, Zhang Mazi could see the scene in the Liu family's mansion through the gate! There are just two boards inlaid with them! Now that he can't see it, Zhang Mazi has been shocked beyond measure, and the matter of buying ingredients has long been forgotten, and he just wants to tell everyone in the restaurant about it now!

Zhang Mazi ran all the way, making chickens fly and dogs jumping.

When Zhang Mazi panted and ran to the restaurant, the restaurant was already overcrowded, and the restaurant was noisy, which made Zhang Mazi a little stunned, when was the business of the restaurant so good, he stepped forward to listen to the people talking, and it was all about the Liu family in Youzhou, what glass or something, Zhang Mazi didn't know why, at this time, he suddenly saw a large piece of paper pasted on the pillar at the door of the restaurant, he stepped forward to take a look, and it was written that in front of Liu's Mansion tomorrow afternoon, sell the same crystal glass on the gate of Liu's Mansion!
