It has been more than a month since I returned to Xianyang unconsciously. Although he has already submitted an official almanac to the imperial court. But the new appointment of Chen Sheng. But it didn't come down for a long time.

But Chen Sheng was not in a hurry. He is well aware. His new position. We have to wait for the emperor to return from a hunting tour. will be sure. This is a period of time. He bento this time. Vacationed in Xianyang.

But actually. This time. It's not easy. There are all kinds of socializing every day. It made Chen Sheng bored. But I can't refuse. And Wei Yi in order to open the way for Chen Sheng in the officialdom. It also broke the habit of not having a banquet for many years. The banquet invited many veterans of the DPRK and China. Chen Sheng was officially introduced to these old people who still had great influence in the imperial court.

In addition to socializing. Chen Sheng's main 'fine' strength. It was placed in a newly built workshop outside Xianyang City.

In Chen Sheng's plan. Construction of a glass factory. is a very important thing.

But in this day and age. I want to create artifacts across the ages. Undoubtedly, the difficulty has increased a lot. He was born as a science student. For the firing of ordinary glass. Naturally, there is no problem. But the materials needed to make glass. But it's hard to find. For example, soda ash. This has to be purified from the alkali that comes out of the saline-alkali ground. It can then be used to make it.

So it's been almost a month. Chen Sheng is busy buying the corresponding materials and carrying out all kinds of experiments and modifications.

Lots of quartz stone. limestone, etc. It was transported to the built workshop. Then it was crushed by the Spartans and Kunlun slaves inside with copper plates and copper hammers. Iron-deferring and drying. Finally, the batch is prepared in proportion. It is heated and melted in a high-temperature resistant pond kiln. The result is a uniform bubble-free one. It's liquid glass.

Don't say anything else. Light is firing a high-temperature resistant pond kiln. It took Chen Sheng more than half a month. By the time the first furnace is considered to have been successfully fired with liquid glass. It took a month and a half. And the initial research institute 'wasted' money. That's more than three thousand gold.

But. When liquid glass is manufactured. It's halfway to the final success. Chen Sheng doesn't know much about glassblowing technology. But he gathered a group of craftsmen. Let everyone be bold and try. Eventually, we found several simple ways to make utensils. Finally. After the second month of the establishment of the workshop. The first glassware was finally fired.

It was a simple glass bottle. It doesn't look 'fancy'. But if it is as clear as ice, it is not inferior to the crystal at all.

Chen Sheng rewarded the craftsman who was the first to blow out the glassware. And spread the experience. Soon. Firing work of glass. and began to get on the right track. However, Chen Sheng is not in a hurry to promote these fresh 'fancy' glassware to the market. Instead, a large number of strange-looking artifacts were drawn. Let the craftsmen fire according to the drawing.

According to Chen Sheng's title. These strange utensils are called test tubes and syringes, culture vessels, and so on. It is said to be a medical appliance. It's just these ordinary craftsmen. These names are no longer familiar. Uses for these things. It's even more unimaginable.

Soon after the first test tubes and glass bottles were fired. A group of apprentices who studied simple medicine with him for a while. also came to Xianyang from Lingnan. There were twelve of them. The age of these twelve is generally young. The average is only about 20 years old. But he has a certain understanding of medicine. Demonstrated excellent comprehension. So Chen Sheng decided to mobilize this group of people to come back. Deeply cultivate their talent in medicine.

As a military doctor. Chen Sheng's most 'fine' is surgery. But serious surgical procedures are extremely limited in this day and age. In particular, it needs the support of a lot of 'medicine'. In order to reduce casualties in the war. Chen Sheng pinned his hopes on these twelve apprentices. Chen Sheng didn't have much 'fine' energy to engage in research. So he can only put everything he knows. Teach to these apprentices. Let them follow the inspiration they provide. Miracles are created in this era.

"These two months. The cost of the glass factory is 12,000 gold." Look through the ledger. Chen Sheng felt a little headache: "The cost of the research institute is 7,000 gold." Institute. This is where Chen Sheng's twelve apprentices conducted their medical research.

"But my lord, my wallet. But it's already empty. All earnings from the previous month. It's only 8,000 gold. Plus the part of the previous surplus. It's only 15,000 gold. I still owe Su Yun 2,000 gold." Chen Sheng was very distressed. Said to Lingzhu'er: "Lingzhu'er. Adults sold you. Is it good to pay off the debt?"

Lingzhu'er gave him a blank look. Said: "My lord. Can I sell it for that much money?"

Chen Sheng smiled bitterly. said: "Dead girl. I don't know any humor."

Lingzhu'er said, "My lord. Didn't the glass factory fire a lot of glass? Take it out and sell some of it. Isn't that the loss coming back."

"To sell is to sell. But the timing wasn't right. Such a thing. It has to be launched at the right time. to be able to attract more people's attention." Chen Sheng explained. Thought about it. Chen Sheng said again: "Besides. At present, the cost of firing glassware has not been reduced. So only production can be limited. You can't put too much of this stuff out of the market at once. Otherwise, someone else will master this technique. I'll cry to death, adult."

Lingzhu'er pursed her lips. Muttered, "The factory is so well guarded. Who can steal the craftsmanship inside? Besides. My lord. You're not saying. Those ingredients. Except for you. No one can configure it. Right. I'm afraid of who steals." Lingzhu'er is not stupid. I've been following Chen Sheng for so long. For Chen Sheng's thoughts. Ling Zhu'er can always guess the true thoughts in Chen Sheng's heart.

"Your Excellency is thinking. Always owes Miss Ling money. I can't get over it." Lingzhu'er in a word. In addition to this reason. Chen Sheng doesn't have much of a concept of money at all.

"......" Chen Sheng was speechless for a while. Gu said to him: "Today, the teacher went to the Black Water Pavilion to deal with things. Let's go to Shanhailou for dinner."

"My lord. Didn't you say you had no money. Something from Shanhailou. I've heard it's expensive." Lingzhu'er couldn't help but laugh. Shanhailou is Ling Suyun's industry. Chen Sheng went there to eat. It's all direct bookkeeping. Never pay cash.

"I'll put you there before I eat enough." Chen Sheng said fiercely. It took a while before he spoke.

Ling Zhu'er made a grimace at Chen Sheng. Noncommittal to Chen Sheng's words. She 'touched' her adult's 'sex' personality very well. When talking to her. The fiercer the mouth. But the heart is more and more easy-going.
