Chapter 49 To engage in the glass industry

Ling Xue was suspicious that she wouldn't listen to Li Jiancheng's nonsense, she snatched the mirror from Li Jiancheng's hand with one hand, and didn't pay attention to him! Of course, this does not mean that she does not believe what Li Jiancheng said. It's just that Li Jiancheng's appearance that everyone in the world is a fool makes her very dissatisfied!

Ling Xue was suspiciously uninterested, but Wang Zuo, who was next to him, was very interested, and he asked in surprise, "Is this true?" Is this glass mirror really made of sand? ”

Li Jiancheng would not be annoyed by Ling Xuexi, on the contrary, he was still obsessed with Ling Xuesuo's cold arrogant reaction, Li Jiancheng turned his head and said to Wang Zuo with a smile: "Well, of course it's true, but in detail, making mirrors is not sand, and directly using sand to burn it can't do such a level." For example, the mirror we just looked at, its main materials are quartz, feldspar and limestone, which is heated and cold-treated into a kind of transparent glass, and then a pump is coated on one side of the glass mirror, that is, mercury. To put it bluntly, cinnabar (the main ingredient of cinnabar is a vulcanizing pump), and mercury is extracted from cinnabar. By the way, those Taoist priests practice Dan, and this is what they practice, but in fact, what they don't know is that 'mercury' is a highly toxic heavy metal. It's a highly toxic metal, and those people are there all day long swallowing you and you say they're not stupid! I have a method to refine a large amount of high-purity mercury, and after a while I will teach you this method, you refine more mercury for me and sell it to those Taoist priests to drink, and I promise that I will ascend to immortality with a cup! ”

Li Jiancheng's words are a huge amount of information for a person in the Ming Dynasty, what pump? What mercury? What cinnabar! What a poison! What heavy metals! It turns out that those Taoist priests did such a thing! Li Jiancheng also asked Wang Zuo to practice more mercury and give it to the Taoist priests to drink, didn't he say that it was highly poisonous? How do you still give it to people? If you drink this, you don't ascend to immortals, you go to hell! This emperor is too ruthless!

He is not the only one who has this kind of thought, Ling Xue also turned his head to look at Li Jiancheng when he heard this, Li Jiancheng also looked straight at her, his eyes were like saying, do you want to know what is quartz, what is highly toxic heavy metal, and what is mercury is a metal, right? You ask, you ask, you ask, I'll tell you! But Ling Xue didn't ask, because someone charged for her!

Wang Zuo felt a little bitter in his mouth, and he asked, "This... This, Your Majesty, may I ask, what is quartz? Feldspar? Limestone? ”

"This quartz, what is it..."Li Jiancheng was about to say it when he heard it, but he was stunned halfway through the words, I'll go, do I want to tell you what inorganic minerals are and what is silica? Aren't you going to ask me what is inorganic, whatever? Does that explain? So Li Jiancheng waved his hand and said: "Forget it, it's useless to talk to you so much, you don't understand, I will directly write down the appearance of these ores and where they can be found, as well as the method of firing glass, and then your main job is to stare at this, you find someone to build a special field, and first burn the transparent glass out to me." I'm teaching you how to refine mercury! ”

Li Jiancheng's words made Wang Zuo feel very aggrieved, why am I so stupid? He was looking at Ling Xue on the side, suspicious that he could only mourn in silence, he could only do things! However, if it is really as the emperor said, the glass is burned with sand, then this thing must be a fat difference, think about the use of sand to exchange jade white jade bowls to know the way!

When Wang Zuo realized the business opportunity, Li Jiancheng had a headache, and he realized a problem. It can't go on like this! Although he Li Jiancheng has a reading hall, but no one understands the professional content in this time and space, what will he Li Jiancheng do in the future, isn't it to explain the nouns until dawn, it seems that he must spread the knowledge out of the school, and he must open a school!

Li Jiancheng explained a few more words to Wang Zuo, and then left the Ministry of Industry with Ling Xueyi and went back to the palace!

Li Jiancheng returned to the palace, but the pot exploded again outside the palace. Li Jiancheng asked Wang An to publicize that he was going to check the quality of the troops in various places has spread in the capital, which made some politically impressed people realize that the emperor is going to use military power! The emperor's dispatch of 26 guards and 30,000 horses in the capital is also known to everyone!

In the courtyard of the six ministries, all the Donglin Party members who resisted the coffin last time are here, Liu Yijing, Zhang Wenda, Sun Shenxing, Li Ruhua and other important officials, in addition to dozens of young generals!

Since the last time the coffin corpse admonished, the faces of these people have not been better, especially Zhang Wenda, one of them, he was criticized by the emperor in public, and now people will mention that there is no benevolence and no justice when they mention him, which is simply outrageous! The other three are a little better for the time being, but the most special thing about this incident is that their Donglin spiritual leader and another veteran figure stood up against them, which to some extent has even divided the entire Donglin Party! Now different voices have begun to appear among Donglin students.

Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was the first to speak: "Let's talk about it, this time His Majesty suddenly moved the military, it doesn't seem to be accidental!" ”

Li Ruhua, the head of the household, directly continued: "What else can it be, it's nothing more than what happened last time that stimulated His Majesty and made His Majesty want to control the military power!" ”

After listening to the words of these two people, Zhang Wenda, who was a little pale, said in a weak voice: "His Majesty's ascension to the throne has not been more than a month, and the accumulation of prestige is insufficient. The transfer of 26 guards and 30,000 horses this time is just to express the meaning, if His Majesty really wants to grasp the military power all at once, it is not impossible! ”

"Hey!" Liu Yijing sat above and sighed, and he continued: "I really don't know if I am reckless this time, or if Your Majesty has already calculated." ”

Liu Yijing's sigh is also the voice of these ministers, who would have thought that they would all fail in this way, Li Ruhua glanced at Zhang Wenda and sighed: "It's just a pity this time, Lord Zhang, Zheqichu and those people will never let go of this opportunity!" ”

When Sun Shenxing heard this, he snorted and said, "Hmph, even if we lose, we can't cheapen them!" ”

Zhang Wenda listened to these words, but his heart was indescribably bitter, he looked at Fang Liang and said: "I really don't know what Gong Ye would do for Lu!" ”

Liu Yijing was a little unbearable when he heard this, and said half-loudly: "Mr. Ye is also a scholar for me, and my Donglin faction cannot be regarded as lacking in benevolence." Your Majesty can come up with a copy of the Book of Music this time, and there is no way to win us at such a price......"
