Just when all kinds of things on the island were thriving, Yu Xiaotian suddenly made a decision after completing the production of the first glass mirror.

He decided to personally go to the island of Taiwan and go there to have a look, for a period of two months, the affairs on the island were handed over to Liu Laoliu, Wang Hong, Fang An and others to be jointly responsible for management, if there was something to do, he could send a boat to Taiwan to find him, if the matter was urgent, Liu Laoliu would make a decision.

After hearing this, everyone felt that Yu Xiaotian was a little too anxious, where Taiwan was placed, no one could steal it, and now everything is normal on Nanri Island, many things are going well, and the government is still busy with the affairs of the red-haired people entrenched in Penghu, and they have no time to take care of their affairs on Nanri Island.

What's more, they are now accustomed to many things being decided because of Xiaotian, and suddenly Yu Xiaotian is going to go out for such a long time, which makes these people feel a little uncomfortable.

Liu Laoliu even secretly found Yu Xiaotian first, and persuaded Yu Xiaotian not to rush to Taiwan, Liu Laoliu's reason is that they are only now integrated, and the internal stability is not yet complete, if he, the big boss, does not sit here, for fear that someone will take the opportunity to make some trouble.

After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian shook his head and smiled: "This uncle can rest assured!" I know the character of Wang Hong and Fang An, as long as the two of them are in charge, even if someone wants to make trouble, they can't make trouble!

I treat the brothers from the Shark Gang the same as our brothers from Treasure Island, they are now more comfortable than before, and they feel that they have a head, why do they want to oppose me? I'm completely relieved that you're here!

And the things over there in Taiwan, time is not waiting for me, the sooner you start, the better, the province is the first to get started, I can tell you some news, it won't be long before someone wants to occupy this Taiwan, everyone knows the truth of the fast thug in this world, the first strike is stronger! We can't wait for others to stand on their heels, let's go and grab them again! This matter cannot be delayed any longer! ”

Liu Laoliu was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "How do you know the Dao?" Whose mind is so big? Is it bigger than your heart? ”

Yu Xiaotian whispered a few words to Liu Laoliu, Liu Laoliu's eyes suddenly widened, and he scolded: "Grandma, how could this red-haired ghost have any idea?" How do you know the truth? Could it be that you are really like others say, can you be unpredictable? ”

Yu Xiaotian laughed dryly and said, "This father-in-law doesn't need to ask more!" In short, I am a knowledgeable person, but I don't have the ability to predict the future! I can't even guess what I'm going to eat tonight! Hehe! ”

Liu Laoliu looked at Yu Xiaotian for a long time with a look of disbelief on his face, and then nodded and said: "Okay, you are the big boss, you have the final say, I can trust your words, since you want to do it, then what else can I, the father-in-law, say?" I'll watch it for you, just go ahead! If anyone dares to make trouble while you're not there, don't look at me Liu Lao is not young, but it's no problem to kill him! ”

So Yu Xiaotian arranged the things on the island one by one, and told the people in charge everywhere that when he was not on the island, he must not relax, and everything must be accelerated and continued.

On the side of the glass field, he also sealed it tightly, and strictly ordered all the craftsmen in the glass field not to mention anything about glass production to anyone, and the violator would be killed lightly, and if he found out, he would be skinned alive! This is a matter related to his great wealth, and there must be no omission.

In addition, he sent people to surround the three places of glass field, cannon work, and iron work, and sent people to guard the door day and night, so that no idle people could enter without permission, or even get close, if anyone tried to inquire about it, he should be dealt with as a spy!

As for the glass mirror, as long as the glass is produced, it is not a problem at all, and the glass mirrors of later generations are mostly produced by silver or aluminum, which requires some special chemical raw materials, and he cannot solve it at present, so he can only use a more primitive method.

He first led people to make molten glass into flat glass, and most of the manufacturers who produced glass mirrors in later generations directly purchased flat glass for production, but now he not only has to burn the glass himself, but also find a way to make flat glass by himself.

Yu Xiaotian took people to test a lot of methods in the glass field day and night, first using the method of blowing, but the effect was not good, the cut glass could not make a qualified glass plate, so he used the process of lifting, although he pulled out a small piece of glass, but the uniformity was not enough, so he used the method of crushing, and finally made a relatively flat glass plate.

This kind of colorless glass is pressed by rolling flat glass, although it is not up to the level of flat glass in later generations, but at least it can be used.

Then he used the simplest method, first put a layer of tin foil on one side of the glass plate, and then poured liquid mercury on it, so that the mercury and the tin foil reacted to form tin amalgamation, so that the tin amalgam was firmly attached to the glass, forming a glass mirror.

If the silver mirror reaction can be used, then the quality and production cost and time of the glass mirror will be lower and shorter, and the quality will be better, but this needs to solve the problem of nitric acid first, make silver nitrate with nitric acid, and then reduce it to the glass.

At present, he was unable to solve the problem of nitric acid, so he had to use the primitive method used by Venetian glassmakers to make glass mirrors.

As a result, it takes nearly a month to make a glass mirror, which is very slow, but the finished product is made, the edges of these glass mirrors are cut into various shapes, and after they are polished, they can be mounted on the frames that are carefully made of mahogany by the woodmen, and the glass mirrors can be sold.

Moreover, the glass mirrors produced on Nanri Island are much larger than those imported products that are now sold on land, and they look more classy.

Originally, the Venetians and the French were not unable to produce larger glass mirrors, but this kind of thing had to be transported over a long distance before it could be trafficked to the Ming Dynasty, and the ships were bumpy on the way, which could easily cause the glass to break, so even if they trafficked glass mirrors to this side, they were all small pieces, and basically no large glass mirrors could be seen.

Therefore, the glass mirror produced by Nanri Island, no matter in what aspect, has completely overwhelmed those imported products from the West, although it has not yet been listed, but Yu Xiaotian can guarantee that once it is listed, it will definitely become the trump card product of Mao Shengyuan, and it is no problem to shock the business world, and he can sit on Nanri Island and wait for the silver in the future!

After being busy with these things, Yu Xiaotian originally had a plan, but because of the problem of time, he could not continue to promote the new production plan on Nanri Island, so he could only wait for him to come back from this trip.

This time, Yu Xiaotian went to Taiwan Island, and did not bring only two boats and 100 people like the last time, but directly brought most of the soldiers aboard, leaving only a small team of soldiers on Nanri Island, and six other large boats were assembled, and each large boat also carried a sampan, and dragged a small dhow fishing boat behind.

On each ship, more than three newly-made six-pounder Hongyi cannons were installed, which made the fleet he brought this time have quite strong combat effectiveness, as long as it did not run into warships or armed merchant ships commonly used by Westerners, ordinary fleets would basically not be able to bargain with them.

Such a scale made the sea wolves realize that Yu Xiaotian was going to do a big thing this time, this time I am afraid that he will not just go to Taiwan Island to explore, he must be going to grab land and find a place to lay the first nail of the sea wolf there.

So the people who set off with the ship were all gearing up, thinking that it was their luck to be able to follow their big boss to do things, and when the fleet set off, many people made a special trip to the dock to see each other.

Yu Xiaotian stood at the stern of his Seawolf, bid farewell to the remaining men, and after going out to sea, Yang Fan turned around with an order and sailed towards the east of Nanri Island.

Taking advantage of the idle on the road, Yu Xiaotian took the opportunity to conduct a drill on the fleet he brought out, taking his ship as the commander ship, and constantly giving orders to let the upper bucket in the bucket wave the order flag, convey the instructions he issued, and check the accuracy of the interpretation of the flag order by each ship and the reaction speed of the personnel of each ship.

The constant change of formation of the six boats on the surface of the sea made their trip not boring at all, but made the sailors on each ship very nervous.

After testing, Yu Xiaotian feels that the flag language he compiled is still not perfect and applicable, and the carrying information is still a little too little, and further improvement is needed, but generally speaking, the flag language he compiled can basically meet the current needs, and the flag language is simple, which also makes it easier for people who read the flag to judge the meaning of the flag order, and there are relatively fewer mistakes.

Of course, there are also people who make mistakes when reading the flag, and the result is that they read the wrong flag order on the same day, and they will inevitably suffer a little after they come down, because his mistake makes a boatload of people unlucky, so his punishment is necessary.

Just as they were approaching dusk, seeing that they were already halfway through the trip, Shangdou suddenly shouted: "A boat has been found on the right side of the fleet, which is heading in our direction!" ”

Yu Xiaotian was happy when he heard it, his luck today is really good, he really wants to come to something, if people are lucky, everything is very smooth! He had just organized a drill on the sea with his men, and now that another ship had arrived at the door, and it was almost dark, wouldn't it be better to take the opportunity to try the night pursuit?

(I'm sorry brothers, I went to the hospital for a few tests yesterday, but I didn't find the cause of the low-grade fever, and I have to do a few more tests today, I feel very bad, and I had a fever again last night!) Unlucky! It's a really bad mood! But today I was very moved to see that Brother Hu Lulu gave a huge reward, thank you Brother Hu Lu for your support! Start resuming the update today, as long as you don't die, you can't stop updating this month! ）
