These things can only be done after years of accumulation, and after the appearance of glass and Liu Dafu's rapid operation of glass to a certain specification and quality, he was a little anxious, anxious to get enough money to pave the road early, and anxious to sit in that position early.

King Chengjun's gaze looked through the magical glass and looked at the sky outside.

He should have calmed down, or according to the original plan, put hope in ten years, or even twenty years, to regain the lost country from the hands of his father.

At that time, he was only in his forties and fifties, and with good maintenance, he could still sit on the throne for twenty years, or even longer. Then, pass on this great country to his sons and grandsons, so that his bloodline has the supreme inheritance.

Seon lost his horse, but he didn't know if it was a blessing. King Chengjun felt that the failure of this matter was not necessarily a bad thing, and his heart was awakened in this matter.

The next morning, when the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Households, and the general supervisors reported to the emperor the audit of the technology of the pond kiln, they did not show much shock, but only explained that the output and consumption of the operation of the pond kiln, as well as various indicators, were much better than that of the crucible kiln.

After accounting, the cost price of glass produced using the pond kiln technology is only three coins of silver.

Three coins of silver! This amount dealt a heavy blow to the perception of the ministers of the early dynasty. Yesterday, the new glass technology that had been discussed for a day could be as new as it could be, and a clear and shocking answer was finally given.

This kind of hard, warm, transparent glass, all year round, can allow people to sit indoors, you can see the scenery outside the house, the price can really be reduced to the low price that can be used by the unloved/people.

The person responsible for reporting the success of the pond kiln technology and making a technical summary is Qu Jiang.

After that, the household department came forward to tell that this technology was developed by the general supervisor, and with the technical assistance of Qingyun Zhai and the financial support of the family, it was successfully developed.

This technology is owned by the imperial court, and Qingyun Zhai and the Guan family of Bac Ha Fu have the right to use it. From now on, all the glass made by the Liang Dynasty, as long as the pond kiln technology is used, the tax will be collected at 50% of the profits.

Up to now, this handicraft product, which was heavily taxed by the imperial court, has successfully met the emperor's expectations.

The emperor's face, which had been clouded for several days, had improved slightly the day before yesterday when he received the news of the success of the glass technology in the pond kiln.

At this time, when I heard Qu Jiang's statement and the announcement of the tax adjustment of the glass industry with the household department, the expression on my face finally softened a lot. Although there is still no joy, it is not the gloom of the previous days.

The emperor softened his face and said some words of encouragement to the courtiers. It is about the prosperity of the national strength in recent years, and all Aiqing should work together to create a prosperous era for the Liang and the people.

Later, he praised the generals and craftsmen, saying that the officials and craftsmen who were the supervisors were committed to the skills of craftsmen and provided assistance to the imperial court in many ways. The four ministers of the Cabinet were instructed to draw up a document to commend the officials and craftsmen involved in the research and development of glass technology.

The emperor's mood improved, and the next early court deliberations were much easier.

When the early dynasty was over and the dynasty was about to disperse, the emperor called Ning Guogong and Qu Jiang to come out of the ranks: "You two are ready to prepare, wait at the side gate of Bei'an later, accompany me to the Qingyunzhai glass workshop, and I will also go to see how the pond kiln works." ”

The courtiers who had already collected their mood and were ready to leave the main hall at any time were in an uproar when they heard this. They did not even hide their private discussions, and expressed their opposition and incomprehension of the emperor's move.

At that moment, He Shouli and the two imperial historians came out to speak.

"Your Majesty, your dragon body is valuable, and it is related to the safety of the society, how can you leave the palace lightly? I hope Your Majesty will think twice. He Shouli bowed and said, his tone was extremely earnest.

The two imperial historians also expressed the same opinion: "It is unusual for the Son of Heaven to leave the palace, especially if he goes to a dangerous place such as a glass workshop, it is even more inappropriate." The ashes of the fire in the Guan family's workshop are still alive, how can Your Majesty be in danger? ”

At the mention of the fire in the Guan family's workshop, the emperor's face darkened again, and he said in a gloomy voice: "It's just a matter of man-made." There are already indications that the fire at the Kwan's workshop was man-made. Do you think that this trip will also be burdened by disasters? ”

The emperor said, his sharp gaze coldly glancing in the direction where King Jing was standing.

As soon as King Jing came into contact with the emperor's line of sight, he immediately lowered his head and quickly turned his gaze away.

His face is very unsightly, not because he is not looked down upon by the emperor now, but because of his worries and worries after the fire on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Everyone else knew that the emperor was in a bad mood, and they all thought that it was caused by the crowded stampede on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. But King Jing could faintly feel that the emperor looked at him with hidden anger, disappointment and coldness.

This disappointment and coldness were hidden in the emperor's unkind mood, and it was difficult to be detected, but he felt it.

What King Jing saw was the emperor's gaze sweeping towards him, but what the ministers in the palace saw was the emperor's cold gaze, which scraped everyone present.

And the man-made disaster that the emperor said, the fire in the Guan family's workshop, is it really man-made? The ministers were sweating a little.

Coupled with the words that the emperor said later, it means that someone wants to harm him? As soon as these words came out, the courtiers were so frightened that they didn't even have any objections.

He Shouli and the two imperial historians immediately knelt on the ground, even saying that they didn't dare.

The Emperor didn't bother to say anything more, but immediately got up, as he has done these days, flicked his sleeves, and left.

The courtiers looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Ning Guogong.

Ning Guogong was also helpless, he also wanted to persuade the emperor to be cautious just now, but the emperor didn't give him this opportunity at all. At this time, what else can be said, I can only prepare to prepare and accompany the emperor through this experience.

The emperor should have been prepared, and only a little more than two quarters of an hour later, a light carriage with a jet-black background and a bright yellow swastika pattern drove out of the side gate of Bei'an.

Although Ning Guogong is old, he is really careful when he travels with the emperor. At this time, he had already changed out of his court clothes and rode on a horse in a strong suit. He seems to be in good spirits and very agile.

Seeing the emperor's car driving out, Ning Guogong hurriedly followed, and his four entourages let the emperor's sixteen personal guards follow them on both sides, paying attention to the situation along the way.

The emperor was also followed by two carriages, Qu Jiang, He Shouli, and Zhan Kangwen respectively.

The emperor was indeed prepared, and in the morning, when the yamen was lit, before dawn, the door of the Qingyun Zhai kiln was knocked.

The safety and security work of Qingyunzhai has always been strict, and the gatekeepers are also arranged to be on duty for twelve hours a day.

Although there was no loud knock on the door, the janitor quickly came out to answer the door.
