Chapter 279: Crystal Clear
According to the imperial court system, his current scholar of Zhengwupin Right Chunfang University should go to Zhan Shifu to take office, but the emperor has an order, so he has to continue to return to Hanlin Academy to study government affairs.
In fact, whether it is the Hanlin Academy or the Zhan Mansion, it is no different for Han Fei, after all, the emperor does not have a son, and the errands of the Zhan Mansion are also idle.
Han Fei went back to work in the Hanlin Academy, but it caused a lot of fluctuations within the Hanlin Academy. He is a new jinshi, and it is unprecedented for him to enter the Hanlin Academy with a super standard, but in just a few months, he has been promoted to the rank of knight, which makes those old Hanlin feel embarrassed?
However, officialdom is realistic, although many people have feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred towards Han Fei, but now he is a chief, no matter what you have ideas, you have to accompany him with a smile. As a result, Han Fei's first work after his promotion was greeted very warmly.
The most entangled thing in the Hanlin Academy is the master of the Hanlin Academy, he and Han Fei are both in the rank of the fifth rank, and then they are ranked behind Han Fei according to the officialdom, which makes him dilemma about how to arrange Han Fei's position.
Han Fei entered the Hanlin Academy, accompanied by a bachelor, rushed to the duty room of the Academy, and when he arrived at the door, the Master of the Hanlin Academy personally greeted the door.
"Lord Han, as soon as the official received the notice, he ordered someone to prepare a duty room for you, just next door to the officer's duty room, you see what else you need, and the official will arrange someone to do it!" The head of the Hanlin Academy had an amiable smile, but it obviously implied a bit of bitterness.
Han Fei glanced at the open door of the duty room, and said with a smile: "Lord of the Academy, has the original duty room of this official been used?" ”
Hanlin was stunned for a moment and said, "That's not it, but it's ......."
"Master of the Academy, then don't change it, just continue to use the original duty room!"
"How can that be done, Lord Han, you are now a ......"
Han Fei interrupted the words of the head of the Hanlin Academy, and said: "Lord of the Academy, this official is ordered by the emperor to stay in the Hanlin Academy to study government affairs, and he doesn't need to care about what specifications of the room are on duty, let alone ...... In the Hanlin Academy, the authority of the lord in charge of the courtyard is inviolable, and if the official's duty room is arranged here, it is easy to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, which will mess up the law in the Hanlin Academy! ”
When Master Hanlin heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger. He was very grateful to Han Fei for taking the initiative to maintain his authority, and said happily: "Then the official respects the meaning of Lord Han, Lord Han is erudite and talented, and I hope to take care of the affairs of the Hanlin Academy in the future!" ”
Han Fei understood that Master Hanlin was polite, and he had no intention of taking matters into his body, so he hurriedly said: "Lord Zhangyuan, this official is here to study government affairs, and it is inconvenient to participate in the internal affairs of the Hanlin Academy, of course, if the Hanlin Academy has any needs, this official, as a member of the Hanlin Academy, is also duty-bound!" ”
returned to his duty room, and Han Fei began to live a more leisurely life in Hanlin Academy. In the past, he was a bachelor and also needed to deal with some affairs in the Hanlin Academy, but now he is a scholar of Youchunfang University, and his official position is higher than that of the head of the academy, who dares to arrange him to deal with trivial matters?
In addition to reading the classics of the imperial court, Han Fei also found some good friends and fellow villagers to chat, and sometimes simply went out for this reason. Comfortable days, three days passed in a flash.
On this day, Han Fei was on duty to check the classic government affairs cases of the previous dynasty, and the servant reported that someone from the Han government had come. If it wasn't for a major matter, the family would not send someone to disturb him, so he hurriedly sent orders to bring people in.
"Master, Aunt Liu instructed a small report, the glazed kiln factory has made significant progress!"
"Oh? That's great! ”
Although the glazed kiln factory fired two good glazed convex lenses last time, it was still far from Han Fei's requirements, and now that Liu Ru has summoned him, it means that the requirements have been met. He immediately left the Hanlin Courtyard with his subordinates and rushed directly to the glazed kiln factory.
The manager of the glazed kiln factory accompanied Han Fei to inspect the finished glazed products, and the results made him very excited, which can be said to have fully met his requirements. He immediately rewarded all the craftsmen of the kiln factory according to the size of their contributions, and at the same time, instructed the steward to produce glazed products at full capacity according to the original plan.
Liuli was extremely expensive in this era, and it was impossible to make ordinary utensils, and according to Han Fei's planning, the handicrafts with the greatest added value were the mainstay. To this end, he has created several novel techniques using superb jewelry-making techniques.
In view of the fact that the Han family is in a weak ethical position, Han Fei tried to occupy the kiln factory in order to prevent the old men of the Jia family from seeing their fortunes, and when he left, he specially told the manager of the Han government to send the kiln factory to keep the key process of the glass absolutely confidential.
The glaze fired by Han Fei, that is, the glass of later generations, is made of quartz sand in the low-cost river ditch, and the key is a complete set of firing process. As long as the quartz sand is burned into glass molten slurry, and then blown into shape in the mold by removing impurity bubbles.
After more than a month of trial and error, a complete set of mature processes has been formed, and it is only a matter of time before the finished product is finally fired.
The news of the successful firing of the glaze, except for a few people in the Han Mansion, outsiders, including partner Wang Xifeng, did not know. Han Fei did this, mainly to prevent the firing of the glaze from being interfered with.
Ten days passed quickly, and the carriage transported more than ten wooden boxes into the Han Mansion, and Han Fei personally inspected the side before moving into the warehouse. He picked out some of the finished glass products, repacked them in gift boxes, moved them into the backyard, and then posted to invite the ninth princess Zhang Wanyi and Wang Xifeng of Jiafu to come over.
Wang Xifeng came quickly, and after saluting Jia's mother, he asked Han Fei: "Young Master, you ordered the concubine to go through the mansion, is the glass successfully developed?" ”
Han Fei smiled but didn't answer, only let her wait with peace of mind.
After a while, the Ninth Princess dressed up in men's clothes and entered the Han Mansion again, Jia Mu and the others did not know the relationship between the Ninth Princess and Han Fei, and were very surprised by her arrival, but they did not ask about it.
Han Fei personally moved a delicate box and said to the ninth princess Zhang Wanyi: "Last time, Weichen promised the princess to burn better glass for the emperor, fortunately, it was not dishonored!" ”
"Already successful?" The ninth princess couldn't wait to open the box, and suddenly exclaimed: "Ah-"
I saw a set of drinking utensils in the box, crystal clear, completely transparent and almost impossible to see a single flaw, exuding a dazzling luster under the sunlight shining through the window. This is completely different from the imaginary glass, more like a crystal product. All the women in the hall exclaimed, dumbfounded.
Wang Xifeng forgot Han Fei's sleeves and said excitedly: "Young Master, this is what our glazed kiln factory fired?" ”
Han Fei smiled lightly: "Of course, the time is urgent, the process is not mature enough, and there will be more and better glazed products in the future!" ”
The ninth princess picked up a wine glass, couldn't put it down, and said excitedly: "Long live for my father, although the courtiers are not allowed to give gifts, but this palace, as a child, can't help but express that with this set of wine utensils, my father must be very happy!" ”
Han Fei brought another gift box and said with a smile: "Princess, Weichen also fired a glass product for the emperor, please bring it into the palace at that time!" ”
