Originally, Qu Jiang and Guan Benhe were discussing how many craftsmen and workers the Guan family needed to send to the capital for deployment. Hearing Xia Zitang's question, both of them were stunned, and Qu Jiang smiled and said, "We really forgot the time." ”

Saying that, he got up, picked up the plan given by Xia Yanqing, raised it at Xia Zitang, and said with a smile, "Sister Ling has already explained the matter clearly, and there are corresponding documents, which the official has read roughly and written in great detail." Guan Lao Yuanwai and I are just happy in our hearts, and we are still unsatisfied. Let's go, today, the official is the east, please have a light meal. ”

Guan Benhe hurriedly stood up and said, "Then which one?" Those who come are guests, and they should be old enough to entertain you. ”

Xia Zitang also got up and excused himself, "The lowly and Shao Xiaowei will be on duty in the afternoon, so I won't bother today, I hope the adults and the old Guan will forgive me, and let me send my little sister home." ”

Qu Jiang, Guan Ben and a few people were also helpless, and the things they discussed mainly revolved around the plan proposed by Xia Yanqing.

If it is an ordinary business activity, or even official business in the officialdom, everyone will go to have a meal and a drink after discussing the matter, which is the normal procedure.

However, the main owner of this matter is a woman, and she can't finish it, so a group of them went to eat and drink in a hurry, but left aside the woman who gave them great help.

So, it's been many times, every time it's like this, after saying things, no matter what time of day, they have to go home separately, which is really disappointing.

Fortunately, I have gained a lot today, and even if we go home, this good mood cannot be erased.

Xia Zitang, Shao Yi and Xia Yanqing, Xia Yanqing's carriage was in the middle, Shao Yi and Xia Zitang rode a horse on one side, there were two guards in the front and back, and then behind them were the two of them.

Xia Zitang walked here, and while still through the light screen window of the carriage, he asked Xia Yanqing in the carriage, "Little sister, what did you tell them?" I looked at the way they looked at you, and if you were willing to accept apprentices, I am afraid that the seven people in the room at that time, young and old, would all worship you as a teacher. ”

Xia Yanqing sat in the carriage, rolled his eyes very much, and said, "How can it be as serious as the fourth brother said, it's just that the errand of the imperial court has the eyebrows to continue, and everyone can make a profit." That's all. ”

He also dared to say that the two court officials of the family were also related to the three generations of their ancestors and grandchildren...... All apprentices? Brains in water, right?

"Mmmm," Xia Zitang was riding on a horse, his back was straight, his face was serious, but the words in his mouth were very casual, "The fourth brother heard it, the little sister has benefited them a lot from today's teaching, and they are satisfied." ”

Xia Yanqing: "......", this is probably the legendary sister control, right? Every time she did something here and was praised, Xia Zitang's expression was happier than he was even promoted to the third level.

On the other side of the carriage, Shao Yi asked him to send the two books, "That travelogue and scenery, has Miss Xia seen anything useful?" If so, I'll have someone find it for Miss Xia. "Dogleg smelly.

This is really there, Xia Yanqing turned his head sideways, looked out from the light gauze curtain of the carriage, and said, "There is a record in that travelogue that there is a kind of Wujin stone in a place called Dongxi, which is used by the locals to cook and burn the kang, and the fire is very fierce when burning. After I read these two books, if there is anything else available, I can find it along the way. ”

"Dongxi?" Shao Yi said, "In the northwest direction, it is not too far from the capital, a few days away. If Miss Xia is not in a hurry, you can wait. If you are in a hurry, you can go for this alone, and it will not be troublesome. ”

Xia Yanqing thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, then let's go." When I go back, I will copy the travelogue and ask the fourth brother to bring it to Shao Gongzi. ”

Shao Yi nodded in response.

This so-called black gold stone should be coal. In the era of Xia Yanqing, there was a small number of applications before the Song Dynasty, but a large number of popularization was in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The situation here is unclear, and it is possible that this kind of ugin stone, only occasionally obtained by the locals, was used in the deserted country house. However, due to the lack of information, the lack of transportation, and the fact that coal has not been mined in large quantities, it is not widely known.

If the coal mine is really found, the fuel problem of the glass pool kiln will be much simpler.

…………

Chengjun Wang and the North and South Currency Bank also planned to develop continuous feeding glass technology, so they paid attention to the workshops built by the Guan family.

On this day, Qu Jiang arrived early, and then Xia Yanqing's carriage also drove in. These people stayed in the Guan family's workshop until late afternoon before they dispersed.

Chengjun Wang and the North and South Currency Bank have made various speculations, have they made progress in the direction of research?

Otherwise, only two rows of stewardship rooms have been built on this piece of land circled by the Guan family, and the other workshops have not been completed, how could an important minister of the court like Qu Jiang, and a young woman like Xia Yanqing, bring people here?

It's just that they continue to stare at it, but it makes them wonder.

After Qu Jiang went back, there was no follow-up, not only did he not go to the Guan family workshop again, but the craftsmen who were the prisoners were also nested in the prison, and none of them moved.

And the Guan family also made them quite puzzled.

After this trip, not only did there be no movement in Qujiang, but Guan Benhe and Guan Yunsheng were also packing up their things, looking like that, they were planning to leave the two younger ones of the Guan family, and the two of them were going back to Beihe Mansion.

According to the reactions of Qu Jiang and the Guan family, it was actually the matter of glass development, and they did not plan to act in a short time.

After the king of Chengjun and the two parties of the North and South Currency Bank made this conclusion, they were relieved and a little disappointed.

Although the glass of the two families was not very backward, they also started making glass soon after Qingyunzhai sold it. But when it comes to the origin of glass, it is in Xia Yanqing.

If even Xia Yanqing has no idea about the continuous feeding technology, it will be difficult for them to make progress here.

Moreover, if this research is not carried out for a long time, the kiln will not be ignited, and the accident they want to create will not be effective.

There is no fire and other evil causes, and there is no reason to hinder the expansion of the glazed tiles of the Guan family.

These two have no hope, and while making trouble, they urge their glass craftsmen to step up their research on new glass technologies. If Xia Yanqing didn't have an idea on this, maybe they could go ahead, seize this opportunity, and use their low price to squeeze down Qingyun Glass Store one step earlier.

How did they know that after Qu Jiang went back, he had gathered relevant people, took the plan given by Xia Yanqing, and began to design a continuous pool kiln according to the descriptions in it, as well as the corresponding sketches and various legends.

At the same time, professional craftsmen have also begun to design blasts and induced air for kilns.

Once the multi-point heating, hearth melting pool, and the use of flue preheating blast proposed by Xia Yanqing are designed, and the drawings are handed over to the Guan family, the pool kiln can be repaired according to the drawings and the subsequent feeding test can be carried out.

It can be said that the pond kiln technology has begun in full swing.

The Guan family, of course, is not the kind of situation that Chengjun Wang and others inquired about.
