Chapter 209: Tangzhou's Glass
King Chengjun was shocked and asked, "Sir, do you mean that someone has already paid attention to the Junwang Mansion?" ”
The way he has put on for so many years is just to keep people from noticing him. No matter who it is, no matter how well it is disguised, it can't stand up to someone to explore.
Jiang Hanwen shook his head again: "That's not what it means, at least as of now, the people who support the prince are still in office as before, and there is nothing unusual." What the subordinates said was that maybe a woman saw that the county lord was outstanding in the city's ladies, and she held a grudge in her heart, so she used it to vent her anger. ”
However, when the county lord of Zhirong thought of Xia Yanqing, what happened after she and Li went home, it was not a wimp without opinions. If Xia Yanqing was wronged and had no power to fight back, she would not believe anything.
There is no need to show the benefits of the tongue, but to use hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to retaliate, which is more in line with the style of Xia Yanqing during this period of time than the speed of the tongue for a while.
The county lord of Zhirong said: "Father still let people pay attention to Xia Yanqing and the Xia family, my daughter always feels that Xia Yanqing is a woman with means, she didn't do anything that day, so she left the chrysanthemum banquet so lightly, there must be another way to retaliate." I can't say it, I just raised the price of the glass tenfold and found a way to sell it to the people who made it difficult for her at the flower viewing banquet that day. ”
King Chengjun nodded and said to Jiang Hanwen: "This matter really can't be ignored, let people stare at the Xia family's father and son and Shao Yi, if this matter is done by Shao Yi, everything will be logical."
He has manpower, if he helps the Xia family do this in order to make more money in the glass business, then there is no need to worry. In the future, if you don't provoke the Xia family and Shao Yi, after the king is done, rectify them, it's all a matter of one sentence. ”
Jiang Hanwen nodded in response, and had more respect for the young county lord of Zhirong in his heart, hearing that he was being played with in the palm of his hand and spent so much wronged silver in vain, not only did he not get angry because of this, he went to Yinlou and Qingyunzhai to discuss the law, but thought of the great cause of the county king, and she was really a woman with a heart.
"What happened to the glass business in Tangzhou?" The county lord of Zhirong asked.
Opening a glazed workshop in Tangzhou is naturally much smarter than in the capital or around the capital, but the glazed workshop in Pingyang County really startled the people of Chengjun Wang, and they also thought that they were being targeted.
Fortunately, after investigation, it was learned that it was Shao Yi's playmate who had become a monk since he was a child, and there was a familiar temple in Pingyang County, and there was a quartz mine there, so they felt a lot more at ease.
Speaking of this, King Chengjun smiled: "Liu Dafu still has some skills, Tangzhou's glass formula adjustment is good, although the glass has hidden greenery and can't be removed, but fortunately, the transparency and uniformity are excellent." ”
"Nowadays, glass is made by blowing, which not only has a smooth surface, but also produces a lot of wine. Although our glass is not as good as that of Binh Duong County, the sales are not bad at all. ”
In fact, this is the modesty of what King Chengjun said, because Tangzhou is a rich county, there are many businessmen who come and go, and the glass sales there are much better than those in Pingyang County.
What people including Xia Yanqing and Shao Yi didn't expect was that after Qingyunzhai launched the mirror glass, Jiang Hanwen immediately summoned his subordinates to explore why the quality of Xiajia glass has greatly improved, but the price has remained flat.
In a short time, they learned that the craftsmen of the Xia family's glaze workshop had spent a lot of time practicing glassblowing techniques.
Therefore, the Tangzhou glass company that got the news made mirror glass earlier than the three glass workshops in the capital.
What does it matter if it's not colorless and transparent?
There is a saying that strong dragons do not suppress the head snake. As long as there is local power, through the suppression of the government and the gentry, supplemented by methods such as setting up barriers on the road, even if the glass is of inferior quality, it can still occupy an advantage.
…………
When Xia Yanqing knew that Tangzhou had already produced mirror glass, it was already September.
She held the glass sample that Mr. Bai had sent back, and she was a little dazed. Then he smiled bitterly in his heart. Sure enough, the wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated.
She thought that the mirror glass technology would use Huang Qiurong as a breakthrough to be understood, but she didn't expect that there would be faster.
Moreover, according to the glass samples from Tangzhou sent back by Mr. Bai, they should have made some changes in the adjustment of the ingredients, so that there will be glass with such an effect.
As for the glass in Tangzhou that sells better than that produced in Pingyang County, Xia Yanqing is a little confused.
According to the quality of the glass, no matter what, the clear and colorless glass in Binh Duong County is better than the shallow green glass.
She didn't dare to ask others about this question, but asked Zhang Dazhuang to bring a message to Shao Yi, saying that there was something to discuss.
Then, Shao Yi tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart, and came very seriously.
For a reborn, Xia Yanqing already regarded him as his own kind, and without much greetings or politeness, he let Shao Yi sit down in the sunlight outside the house, and cut directly to the topic.
"This is a letter from Mr. Bai, and there is already mirror glass in Tangzhou. Oh, this is glass made in Tangzhou. Xia Yanqing pushed the things sent by Pingyang County in front of Shao Yi.
Shao Yi glanced at the glass first, "This, this glass can't work, right?" It's green, right? It's a little ugly. ”
Xia Yanqing rolled his eyes, "How can it be so serious, but there is only a faint greenery, if there is no comparison, you can't see it at all." ”
Shao Yi said disdainfully: "It is precisely because his green is too light and thin that he says it is ugly." If he really burns thick green glass, then he can show his ability. ”
"That's exactly what I'm talking about," Xia Yanqing pointed to Mr. Bai's letter, "Mr. Bai said in the letter that their glass is actually better than ours." ”
Tangzhou's glass, if you pick it up alone, if there is no comparison, it is naturally not bad.
But if the glass from Pingyang County is taken out at the same time, the judgment will be made. Especially when a box of glass is placed there, there are many pieces of glass stacked on top of each other, and the green color is even more obvious.
Shao Yi quickly read Mr. Bai's letter and didn't speak for a while.
Xia Yanqing couldn't wait, looked at Xinxiu who was guarding not far away, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say that the emperor would send someone to keep an eye on Tangzhou?" Why is there no restriction on Liu Dafu's business, but the glass in Pingyang County has been repeatedly looted on the way out? ”
That's what Mr. Bai's letter says. The territory of Binh Duong County is fine, but the merchants who sell glass are very unstable, and they have been robbed several times on the road.
Although the quality of the glass in Binh Duong is better, no one dares to sell there anymore.
The same selling glass, there is no reason why his glass has been robbed on the road repeatedly, but the glass in Tangzhou has been smooth all the way.
If the emperor's eyes were really staring at Liu Dafu, this matter would be a bit of a mistake.
As soon as she said this, Shao Yi's expression became even more strange, the kind that wanted to talk.
"What the hell is going on, you say?" Xia Yanqing was so anxious that he even forgot his honorific title.
