Qu Jiang really understood, not only understood, but also was shocked, as if suddenly a door appeared and was opening to him brightly.

As an official in charge of the artisan industry, and with considerable research and insight in it, Qu Jiang immediately realized the value of Xia Yanqing's idea.

Nowadays, glass production is smelting in a single furnace, feeding, heating, melting, and then cooling the liquid glass to the point that it can be made. Then, the glass liquid is dipped and the glass is made.

All of these processes occupy a melting furnace. Each cycle is delayed by time and manpower, as well as the amount of addition and cooling lost.

If you feed and discharge at the same time, it perfectly solves all the above problems.

Qu Jiang felt that his heartbeat was a few beats faster. In this way, the improvement of glass technology has been regarded as a research direction, as long as it is planned and tested according to this idea, there will be a breakthrough in time.

With such a clear idea, why didn't this Xia Sigu do it herself? But you want to talk to him about cooperation?

However, Qu Jiang didn't ask.

"Miss Xia, tell me about your way of cooperation." Qu Jiang said.

Xia Yanqing said simply: the development site is the newly bought land next to the kiln, and a separate courtyard will be built there as a special research base. Craftsmen from different trades required in the research process will be provided by the superintendent.

Qu Jiang nodded secretly, this research is relatively large-scale and involves many industries. Qingyun Zhai does not have so many craftsmen from different industries, especially insightful top craftsmen, and it is difficult to find. Therefore, Xia Yanqing was very discerning and immediately saw that he would be a prisoner.

Then, Xia Yanqing handed Qu Jiang the cooperation document she had drafted and explained further.

If the development is successful, the benefits of the new technology after it is put into production: half of Qingyunzhai and the imperial court, and the half of the imperial court will be paid to the imperial court in the form of taxes.

The production of new technologies is the sole responsibility of Qingyunzhai, and the imperial court is not allowed to intervene in any way unless there is no income or loss for three consecutive years.

Qu Jiang listened to Xia Yanqing's explanation, and swept through the document at a glance.

Then, Rao is a member of the three grades of the dynasty, and he was also shocked by Xia Yanqing's strong terms.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, that's what I mean.

Qu Jiang took the teacup and sipped it slowly, and after a long time, he put down the teacup and asked, "Miss Xia, do you know that your cooperation is not with the official alone, or with the general as a prisoner, you are facing the imperial court." ”

"Yes." Xia Yanqing nodded sincerely.

Qu Jiang is also helpless, she is like this, where does it show that she knows?

At this moment, Qu Jiang really wanted to leave Xia Yanqing here, find Xia Ke or Xia Zixi, and share the matter with them.

The person in charge of Qingyun Zhai is indeed capable in business, and his craftsman skills are also among the best. But in the face of the general trend and the overall situation, after all, she still shows her short-sightedness as a woman.

"Cooperation with the imperial court, not to mention Miss Xia, a woman, is a big family, and the imperial court has the final say. Your paperwork is really inappropriate. ”

As an official who is quite relied on by the emperor, and facing a young woman who is in business, Qu Jiang can talk about this, which shows that he is still quite kind.

Xia Yanqing was very appreciative, she smiled apologetically, and said: "Well, if the adults change their perspectives and look at this matter from multiple aspects, they may be able to know that this agreement is not only for the vested interests of Qingyunzhai's side, but also for the sake of the imperial court." ”

"I want to hear about it." Qu Jiang saw that Xia Yanqing was extremely talented in craftsmanship, so he gave these four words very perfunctorily.

There is a way that a wise person does not speak darkly, but talks about business. Here, Xia Yanqing is a businessman, although he is based on the production of glass, but the essence is to make money.

So she didn't go around in circles, and said what she said to Xia Ke and his son before to Qu Jiang, and Qu Jiang broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead when she heard it.

Xia Yanqing picked up the contract from the table between the two, looked at it slightly, and said with a smile: "Actually, Master Qu doesn't need to worry about it at all, this document is just drafting." Your Excellency can make these agreements in the tone of the imperial court, and the same wording not only guarantees the interests of the imperial court, but also shows the generosity and grace of the imperial court to its subjects, how good it is. What do you say? ”

When Qu Jiang heard this, he was very suspicious and took the contract again, read it carefully from beginning to end, and turned the terms into the decision of the imperial court.

I didn't expect it to be true, and there was no sense of disobedience at all.

Qu Jiang: "......" He decided to take back his previous words, thinking that Xia Yanqing was short-sighted in the face of the overall situation and the general trend. This one, for a woman, was really delayed.

Just looking at the problems and solutions considered in this cooperation, she is a woman, not only delaying herself, but also a loss to the imperial court.

With this understanding in mind, Qu Jiang began to really consider the possibility of cooperation.

He said: "I think Miss Xia also knows that she will only be responsible for palace affairs as a prisoner. Cooperating with Qingyunzhai, whether it is the official who will be the prison or the official, he can't be the master. This matter has to be given to the emperor and approved by the emperor. ”

Of course, Xia Yanqing naturally knew this truth, and this matter was originally proposed by the emperor, so she was not worried that the emperor would not agree.

Xia Yan cleared the arrears and thanked him: "There is Lord Laoqu." ”

Qu Jiang waved his hand, indicating that he was not welcome, and then continued: "Secondly, from Miss Xia's narration, in this cooperation, Qingyun Zhai is only involved in Miss Xia. Then the aunt opened his mouth and asked for half of the benefits of the cooperation results.

Xia Yanqing blinked his eyes and said calmly: "Didn't Qingyunzhai also provide research and development funds and venues?" There are also miscellaneous things, which are also responsible for Qingyun Zhai. ”

Qu Jiang twisted his beard, laughed a few times, and then said no more.

If the imperial court is committed to this, is there still a shortage of those few silver and miscellaneous manpower?

Not to mention places.

There is a saying that the world is not the king's land, not to mention just a courtyard, if it is important, what does it matter if it is surrounded by a big manor?

Xia Yanqing saw that Qu Jiang was silent for a long time, and pondered for a long time before he grasped the possible meaning of the few laughs he had just made.

"Does Master Qu not agree with what the folk woman said?" Xia Yanqing asked.

Qu Jiang still laughed meaninglessly, and did not answer Xia Yanqing's temptation.

This aunt is smart, but she doesn't know much about the technology to protect herself, so she said her idea early.

With this research direction, as well as the top craftsmen who will be the supervisors, and the financial support of the imperial court, this matter does not have to cooperate with Qingyunzhai to achieve.

Aunt Xia is still too young.

Xia Yanqing saw that Qu Jiang suddenly stopped talking, so he also fell silent.

After a while, she said abruptly: "Of course, there are many people who will be the prisoners, and now that we have a clear idea of improving the technology, we can study it on our own." The women believed that the research on the prison would be successful. ”
