Xia Yanqing continued to ask: "You mean, someone specifically released this news, maybe to find a reason for others to research new technologies. For example, the glass line in Downstate? ”

Shao Yi nodded: "Very likely." Nowadays, in addition to Qingyun Zhai, there are only three glass stores, two in Beijing and one in Tangzhou Liu Dafu. Among them, the most likely and powerful is Liu Dafu. ”

Don't look at Qing Yunzhai can't find a craftsman who researches new glass technology in a short time, but Liu Dafu and Chengjun Wang have been operating for many years, and they should have these manpower.

Xia Yanqing frowned, very puzzled: "Liu Dafu, these people are too taken for granted." There was an accident in the palace on the front foot, the conversation between the emperor and the minister was leaked, and the Tangzhou glass store on the back foot was going to research new technologies, aren't you afraid that people will suspect them of inserting eyeliner into the palace? ”

Shao Yi smiled faintly and said, "Liu Dafu is just a wealthy businessman with relatively financial resources in the southeast, and he has nothing to do with the capital. The silk business, which he started, had begun to expand to the north, and there were reasonable channels for information. He already has a glass business, and after hearing the news, he makes good use of it, and there is nothing wrong with it. ”

That year, several families took action to buy glass recipes and production methods from the craftsmen of Qingyunzhai Glass Workshop.

King Chengjun was the first to succeed and sent people south. At that time, only Shao Yi knew about this matter, and afterwards, all the matters related to King Chengjun were handed over to Liu Xie.

The various things of King Chengjun and Liu Dafu are not known to the people next to them.

And Liu Dafu does have the ability, after getting the glass square, he didn't do it as it was, but quickly made changes.

Although the quality of Tangzhou glass is a little worse, it can be seen that their formula is very different from the glass of several other glass stores in Daliangchao.

After more than a year of research and development, Tangzhou glass has made great progress. Some ethereal greens and a very pale yellow color have become the hallmarks of Tangzhou glass, and they have their own unique sales.

Because of this, among the several glass shops in the Daliang Dynasty, only Tangzhou Glass is unique, and it is different from the rest. Nowadays, basically no one thinks that Tangzhou glass is a recipe for plagiarizing Qingyun glass.

In view of this situation, Xia Yanqing believed that as long as Liu Dafu was given time, he would definitely be able to open up the continuous Yaochi technique.

At that time, the same glass, the same price, Qingyunzhai will earn one tael of silver, and Liu Dafu will earn two taels. After doing this for a few years, Liu Dafu couldn't make a fortune.

Even if Liu Dafu is a rebel and thief, he will definitely be liquidated afterwards. But after the liquidation, Liu Dafu's business will not disappear out of thin air, there will always be someone to take over, and the person who takes over will still pose a threat to Qingyunzhai's glass business.

Xia Yanqing felt that he had suffered a big loss in this matter, and when he was still entangled and annoyed, Shao Yi continued: "The north-south currency bank relies on the queen mother's family behind it, I don't know if they will also come to stir up this troubled waters." ”

The glass business of the other two companies in the capital is still supporting, although it is not as prosperous as Qingyunzhai, but under the support of the effort, it is now a stable business.

Xia Yanqing sighed with a sigh of bad luck, how could he encounter such a complicated situation. Then he compromised: "Business, this is what everyone in the world can do." For today's plan, we can only speed up the action, and I think that with the strength of the craftsmen who will be the supervisors, we will definitely be able to develop new glass technology one step earlier than others. ”

As long as you seize the opportunity and put it into production as soon as possible, after the two glass stores of Qingyunzhai and Guanjia produce a large number of products, even if the other company is successful, it can only make a small fuss and make a fraction.

The notice of the imperial court has just been issued, and now it only depends on when the imperial court will find the two families to meet. Xia Yanqing only hopes that the matter of glazed tiles will not make the two companies suspicious at the beginning of their cooperation, which will affect the progress of the research.

…………

Probably because this matter was the emperor's concern, the imperial court paid more attention to it. On the first day, the notice was issued, and on the second day, a director of the household department came forward and summoned the Guan family and Qingyun Zhai to go to a hall of the household department.

This matter is very important, and Qingyunzhai's side is Xia Yanqing who came in person.

It was Guan Yunsheng who came from the Beihe Guan family, Guan Yunsheng was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a medium build, who looked shrewd and capable.

Obviously, Guan Yunsheng also came prepared, and when he saw Xia Yanqing, he was not the slightest surprised because she was a woman and young.

After the greeting between the two sides, Guan Yunsheng did not put the elders on the shelf at all, and politely greeted Xia Yanqing while maintaining a moderate distance and enthusiasm.

The household department made arrangements for this matter in advance, and the two principals listened to the officials of the household department explain the matter again, took out a number of documents, and after the two of them looked at them one by one, they finally signed the relevant documents. After going through various procedures one by one, he put away his two documents and said goodbye from the household department.

Outside the household department, Guan Yunsheng, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and asked, "I heard that Qingyunzhai is preparing to expand the scale of business, and has purchased an additional piece of land. This, if there is still room for the newly opened area, can this development be located? ”
