Xia Zitang consciously knew more people from the three religions and nine streams, so he asked more people to look for them, and he could always find a few shopkeepers with reliable conduct.

Xia Yanqing was entangled, could she say to Xia Zitang, is Shao Yi a person who has relived his life? Can she say that when Shao Yi was dying in his last life, the Ah Can who he remembered the most was very likely to be her?

From this point of view, there is no one more reliable than Shao Yi.

"At present, it seems that Shao Yi is quite reliable, so don't make extraneous branches and mix with others." Xia Ke's words defined the nature of the matter, and at the same time affirmed Shao Yi.

Xia Yanqing's eyes rolled, it seemed that Xia Ke had a good impression of Shao Yi. I don't know how much room for improvement is in this good impression.

Once the business expansion is decided, the rest is to consider where to open the glass semicolon.

Regarding the geographical situation here, although Xia Yanqing has seen some geographical scenery, the actual situation is still not as good as Xia Ke and Xia Zixi.

Xia Ke was a high-ranking official of the imperial court and knew the politics and economy of various places very well. Xia Zixi is well-read and has a wide range of interests, and the opinions given by the two of them are very referential.

The current glass business has an expansion point in the south, that is, Pingyang County, which Mr. Bai is presiding, and now it is necessary to discuss where to open a branch.

The four of them discussed and finally decided to set up three branches in Gongyang County, the center of the northwest prefectures, Duding County in the southwest, and Chaoyang County in the east.

The capitals of these three counties are relatively convenient for transportation and commerce, and the production of glass here can not only supply the local area, but also facilitate the transportation and trading of merchants from all over the world.

Three days later, three-inch, five-inch and seven-inch glass bottles, as well as diamond-patterned glass bowls, were blown by the glass workshop using the folio mold technique and sent to the annealing kiln.

In addition, there are more than a dozen glass molds with ingredients, which are also sent to the kiln for firing.

On the same day, the three stewards of the Shao family met with Xia Yanqing in the backyard of Qingyunzhai and signed the document according to the rules.

Five days later, they went to the craftsmen and bookkeepers of Gongyang County, Duding County, and Chaoyang County, and met with the three stewards of the Shao family, and went to their respective areas of responsibility.

The glass used to open the market did not go with them, but only a small amount of mirrored glass was brought with them in their respective carriages, which was used as a gift for various people involved when they went to the place to start business.

Half a month later, a small partition opened by Qingyun Glass Store, glass bottles and glass bowls were placed on the shelves of the partition and began to be sold.

Although Xia Yanqing positioned these glass bottles for practicality, in order to be able to place various powders, spices, potions or liquids at a glance.

But once such a novel item was launched, people's curiosity accounted for the majority.

Of the three sizes of glass bottles, the small glass bottle sells the fastest, and the largest glass bottle is very practical, but it sells more slowly, and most of them are used to hold wine.

Glass bowls with diamond-shaped block patterns are also sold, and there is basically no need for anyone to recommend explanations, and when people see the transparent and crystalline glass bowls, they immediately freeze it on the soups and fruits.

For a while, the glass shop, which was originally out of the off-season for business, brought out another wave of heat because of these glassware.

Fortunately, these items are included in the daily production of the glass workshop, which is replenished every five days. Otherwise, according to such sales heat, I am afraid that it will cause another round of out-of-stock.

So far, Qingyun Glass's business has stabilized.

On the contrary, the Xiangjun Mansion is going crazy.

King Xiangjun took Huang Zheng's prompt very seriously, but the craftsmen couldn't think of how to use a simpler method to make mirror glass with better smoothness.

Seeing that Qingyunzhai has launched new glass products, but their glass workshop can only make inferior pressed glass, and no one cares about it, it is really annoying.

King Xiangjun was too lazy to explain the situation to his mother, so as not to be scolded again, he found his personal retinue Wu Tong and wanted to hear what Wu Tong meant.

Although Wu Tong is just an entourage, he is very thoughtful, and he can think of some ideas for King Xiangjun on weekdays.

At this time, when he heard King Xiangjun ask what is the way to crack the new glass products that the Xia family continues to launch, Wu Tong hesitated for a moment and said tentatively: "The craftsmen of our glass workshop started late, and they have never received the guidance of the Xia family, so they can't think of the key. ”

King Xiangjun glanced at him gloomily, isn't this nonsense! Is there a reason, in short, that you can't come up with something new, what's the use of saying these reasons?

Wu Tong saw that the king of Xiangjun was displeased, so he hurriedly stopped paving the way and said: "Otherwise, the prince will try to find Zheng Baogen again, the craftsman of his Xia family's glass workshop, ask him, maybe he can inspire our craftsmen." ”

King Xiangjun frowned: "Didn't I ask before, the confidentiality agreement they signed restricted them from engaging in the glass business for ten years." ”

Wu Tong said: "The prince didn't hire them to do things, he just asked some details of the Xia family's glass workshop to see if he could see something else from it." They had already betrayed the secret they should have betrayed, and they were punished for it. This time, it's nothing more than repeating the previous thing, and it doesn't matter. ”

King Xiangjun pondered for a long time, and finally decided to become a dead horse doctor and try again.

Zheng Baogen, who was recuperating at home, was shocked when he saw the steward who had contacted him before and brought two people to visit.

He is now about to regret his intestines, he made a good living at the beginning, his salary was high, not only took care of the food, but also ate well, plus the reward and triple salary during the New Year, which really made the family comfortable for a while.

If he hadn't been greedy for the money then, he would still be living a comfortable life, the best and most comfortable day of his life.

Although he was now spared the pain of imprisonment, just by paying the silver, he paid all the money of his family, and was sent to the yamen, which was really a beating.

The steward had approached him before, and told him to go to their glass workshop after he had recovered from his injuries.

But how dare he?

Could it be that these people are here this time, or is it for this matter?

The steward of the Xiangjun Palace, glanced at the simple furniture in Zheng Baogen's house, and then looked at the bedding that was no longer visible in color under him, and the old oilcloth on the kang, and couldn't help but feel disdain.

This was the result of greed, and he had also come into contact with two other journeymen at that time, and only after some vague temptations dispelled the idea.

Only this Zheng Baogen, when he mentions silver and sees silver, he forgets everything.

The steward sat down on an old stool that had been repeatedly wiped by Mrs. Zheng Baogen.

The two craftsmen who came with him were not so elaborate, and sat casually on a bench side by side.

"We're here to ask you about the Xia family's glass production."

After listening to the steward's questioning, Zheng Baogen was a little relieved, but he still had a bitter face, "It's not that the villain is concealing, Qiao Chensheng and He Zhongzheng have never shown the mirror glass technology in front of us, mass production, and it only started after the villain left, and the villain really doesn't know the specific method." ”
