Chapter 268: It Was Actually Written by a Woman
Sun Congshan took the booklet and handed it to Qu Jiang.
As soon as Qu Jiang looked at the words on the title page, his expression immediately froze. Subconsciously raised his eyes and swept over the emperor and Shao Yi.
For more than a year, the most limelight in the capital is Qingyun Zhai and glass.
After the glass windows began to appear in the palace, Qingyun Zhai continued to launch new products, and each of them could make a lot of noise.
Now the princes and nobles are in the house, but I am afraid that the doors and windows have been replaced with glass.
Ordinary people, with their own ability and ability, will use a few pieces of glass. I can't do it, but I also want to use glass one day, so that the winter room can also have sunlight.
And what he is holding in his hand now is exactly how glass is made.
Qu Jiang concentrated and quickly looked down page by page.
He was a general eunuch and knew a lot about the craftsman's trade, and glassmaking did not go beyond that. And Xia Yanqing doesn't have the pen power of the people, and the vernacular is very good, so Qu Jiang sees it very smoothly.
After reading it all the way, Qu Jiang closed the last page and let out a long sigh.
It looks strange and crystal clear, but it is not too difficult to make it. No wonder, there are a few other glass workshops in the capital, but if you buy a few craftsmen, you can start a new one.
While Qu Jiang was reading the booklet, the emperor had already drunk a cup of tea and chatted with Shao Yi for a while.
Seeing that Qu Jiang had finally closed the booklet, the emperor turned to him and asked, "Is the glass on this document reasonable?" Is there an omission? ”
Qu Jiang returned the booklet to Sun Congshan with both hands, bowed down and replied: "Your Majesty, from the literal point of view, there is no omission, and the feasibility is also very strong. As long as there is no problem with the ingredients and proportions mentioned in it, you should be able to fire the glass as long as you try it twice. It's just that the bimetal thermometer mentioned in the document, Wechen has never heard of it, and he still needs to see the real thing. ”
Seeing this document, Qu Jiang's heart was a little strange, a workshop run by a woman, and the utensils and tools involved in it all played a great role.
This kind of bimetal thermometer, Qu Jiang seems to be a little touched, but he didn't grasp the key.
The emperor looked at Shao Yi.
Shao Yi hurriedly replied: "This is no problem, Qingyunzhai's thermometer is not confidential, and the drawings or physical objects can be given to Master Qu." Including the labeling and calibration of the temperature range, Qingyun Zhai can be done, and Qu adults can also check it on the spot. ”
May I? Qu Jiang was surprised, and even got up and bowed his hand to Shao Yi and said, "Thank you, Deputy Lieutenant Shao." ”
The emperor didn't understand this topic, but Qu Jiang obviously understood, and this thing seemed to be quite important, so that Qu Jiang, a third-grade official, still had to thank Shao Yi.
Although the emperor knew that Shao Yi and Xia Yanqing should not dare to lie to him, they did not have the courage to deliberately hide important techniques in order to ask for benefits from the imperial court.
But seeing that Qu Jiang could approve this document and be so solemn, the emperor was still very happy.
He handed out the other piece of Chen and said, "Qu Aiqing will take a look at this again." ”
The content of the strip is much simpler than that of making glass.
Qu Jianggang was still surprised, why did the emperor show him the method of making glass.
When he took Tiao Chen in his hand and opened it, his face immediately changed, and the more he looked at it, the more he couldn't believe it.
"Qian, do you mean clairvoyance?" Qu Jiang raised his eyes in astonishment, and looked at the emperor with a star, and the proper palace was out of order.
"Wei, Weichen read that right? That's what it's about...... Want to make something like clairvoyance? Qu Jiang stumbled and asked, I'm afraid that people who don't write Chen are crazy, right?
"That's right." The emperor calmly picked up the teacup in front of him, took a small sip, and felt a little proud in his heart.
Even the general eunuch suddenly heard that clairvoyance could be so out of shape. If this artifact is actually made and applied to the military, how much advantage will it be?
The emperor pointed to the strip Chen in Qu Jiang's hand and asked, "If this trial production errand is handed over to you, do you have a clue?" ”
Qu Jiang's forehead immediately oozed sweat.
This, this, how is this possible? Judging from the content of the article, the crazy man believed that the production of clairvoyance had something to do with glass.
However, this is simply a fool's dream.
There are many people who have seen and used glass, but they can only let their eyes penetrate the glass, but the scene they see has not changed in the slightest, and there is absolutely no effect of extending the line of sight.
It may even be that the glass is defective, and the things you see through the glass will be slightly corrugated and out of shape.
How can this kind of thing become clairy?
No matter what Qu Jiang thought, he couldn't think of anything to do with glass and clairvoyance.
He stood up, bowed down and asked, "Weichen dares to ask Your Majesty, I don't know who wrote this note?" Wechen had to ask why the idea of making clairvoyance came about, so as to judge whether there was a possibility of trial production. ”
The people in the house now, in addition to Qu Jiang, are only the emperor, Sun Congshan's master and servant and Shao Yi, all three of whom are laymen in the craftsman business, and they don't understand where to focus on developing a new device.
If Xia Yanqing is here, he will definitely applaud Qu Jiang.
For the legendary thing clairvoyance, Qu Jiang just saw this unbelievable idea, and was asked directly by the emperor, and he was able to grasp the key immediately.
If she was there, Qu Jiang would ask a few more questions, maybe he would really ask something. With Qu Jiang's ability and the strength of the prisoner, I am afraid that it will not be long before he can really make the telescope.
"Cheng'an, you tell Master Qu about it." The emperor naturally didn't know the essentials, so he pushed Shao Yi out.
Shao Yi stood up in response, bowed slightly to Qu Jiang, and said, "Tiao Chen was written by the owner of Qingyun Zhai and the fourth aunt of the Xia family. She had previously obtained two pieces of irregular glass scrap, and when she inadvertently moved the distance, she found that her gaze passed through the two pieces of glass, and the scene she saw had a magnifying effect, so she had this idea. ”
Qu Jiang's mind was stunned for a moment, this Chen was actually written by a woman.
Moreover, if two pieces of irregular glass and the gaze are on the same line...... It's hard to say how effective it will be.
"I wonder where these two pieces of glass are now? Can you use it as a reference for the official? Qu Jiang looked at Shao Yi expectantly and asked.
Shao Yi hurriedly apologized: "This discovery was obtained by accident by the Xia family Yanqing a long time ago. It is said that she only had a vague idea at that time, and she felt unbelievable, so she abandoned it, and the waste glass was discarded and returned to the furnace at that time. ”
Qu Jiang then asked: "Did the Xia woman say that what is the specific shape of the two pieces of waste glass?" ”
Shao Yi spread his hands: "The lower official asked, and she said that it has no shape, just irregular glass waste." ”
At this time, Shao Yi also understood what Qu Jiang meant.
Not to mention that he didn't ask Xia Yanqing, what shape those two pieces of glass were, even if he asked, he couldn't tell this one.
Ah Can said that this kind of thing depends on chance and coincidence.
Now, the clairvoyant's coincidence has informed Qujiang of more than half of it. If he asks something again, won't this opportunity all belong to him, then what advantage does Ah Can have?
Qu Jiang didn't hear anything from Shao Yi's words, he looked disappointed, and turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, if the idea of clairvoyance was found from two pieces of glass waste, if you want to try to make it, you can only use a large number of different shapes of glass for experimentation. Find the right shape of the glass, then refine it and make clairvoyance. ”
The emperor nodded, and he had a little more confidence in the anticipation of clairvoyance.
In summary, Qu Jiang manages the top craftsmen in the world, but his thoughts are the same as those of the Xia family. It can be seen that the ability of Xia's women is really not to be underestimated.
Then, there is a good chance that her idea will turn into reality.
The emperor glanced at Sun Congshan, Sun Congshan understood, withdrew from the imperial study, stood outside the door, and paid attention to the movements inside and outside.
