"I don't know who do you want your son-in-law to teach your father-in-law?" Scratching his chin, he looked at Uncle Li and said. Uncle Li smiled, his expression was a little obscene: "Honglu Temple and the host and guest division." ”

I was slightly stunned: "Father-in-law, how can you have such an idea?" "This makes me breathe a sigh of relief, not to mention anything else, the guys in Honglu Temple and the Host and Guest Division have been taught by me, at least Liu Hao and He Zheng's cheeks are getting thicker and thicker, and they already have the potential to become successful businessmen, and if they are educated for a while, I am afraid that they can really become successful diplomats.

“…… The old man knows that the virtuous son-in-law is a good person, but the old man will never let you be exhausted alive, but without you, where can the old man find a talent like you who does not suffer losses when dealing with diplomacy, but can still make a fortune? Uncle Li licked his lips and said. His eyes were a little greedy, and his appearance reminded me of a hungry man eating in a bowl and looking at the pot. However, Uncle Lee's idea is indeed a good idea, and it is a cause worthy of my time and wisdom.

"The old man knows that if you go out of the horse, you will definitely be able to succeed, but I can't let you work hard all day and drag your body down for my Datang, so the old man has thought of such a method, first, let you teach your experience to these people, so that my Datang can at least stop suffering such and such losses in foreign affairs."

"Since the father-in-law has a life, even if the son-in-law has a life, he will do it for the father-in-law, please rest assured that the father-in-law will definitely teach the officials of the Honglu Temple and the main and guest divisions what the son-in-law has learned in his heart." I respectfully expressed to Uncle Lee my willingness to contribute my modest efforts to the country.

"Good! Hehehe, this is the old man's beloved son-in-law. Uncle Li nodded with great satisfaction, and pointed at me: "The old man has a question, what kind of person does the virtuous son-in-law think can do this diplomatic thing well?" ”

"This ......" I blinked, forget it, or decided to confess to Uncle Li. In fact, the most important point is that in terms of political ideology, we love the land of China, are absolutely loyal to Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty, can resist material and spiritual temptations, absolutely keep confidential all intelligence information that needs to be kept secret, and our bottom line of negotiations. The most important point is that you can only put benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and faith on the surface, and from the bones, everything is in the interests of the Tang Empire...... "I don't know how to explain to Uncle Li in detail, to put it bluntly, being able to coax the birds down from under the tree and squatting in the cage is the most basic requirement, and being shameless is necessary, to be able to sell the other party, and the other party can also count the money for me and give it to us, which can be regarded as truly becoming a qualified diplomat."

can coax, can deceive, not only to be thick-skinned, but also to learn to be shameless, but the mouth must be able to put out the benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and faith at any time, and disguise your own face, in fact, it is also the knowledge of the thick black discipline.

When ---------------------------------------------------- walked out of the palace, it was only early in the morning, and the sun was shining on the earth, at this time, the Suzaku Gate was wide open, and there was a team of national flag honor guards solemnly walking out of the Suzaku Gate, and behind it, was the military band. The surroundings of Suzaku Square were already crowded with people watching the excitement.

There are many traders from all over the world, most of them are the first time to arrive in Chang'an, after hearing about the flag-raising ceremony of the Tang Dynasty, they specially came to see a fresh one, however, there are a number of retired soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they almost every day must arrive, and many literati also like to see the flag-raising ceremony of the national flag, as if this has become a new scenery of Chang'an, Yanjing of the Tang Dynasty.

But today, I have more important things to do, and I rushed to a workshop dozens of miles away from Chang'an, a very hidden small place, just outside the village of the Fang family's fiefdom, on the riverbank, a small courtyard belonging to the Fang family, and when I arrived at the door, the vigilant eyes of several people immediately fell on me and the two loyal servants.

However, when they had seen my face clearly, the men arched their hands from a distance and went on with their own business. "These are all sent by the third lady to guard the glass workshop." Fang Cheng on the side stepped forward to explain.

"Well, okay, the third lady is doing something, I don't worry." I nodded, let Fang Cheng knock on the courtyard door, and after a while, a small window opened on the door, and after seeing that it was Fang Cheng, I opened the door, and the people inside were also my personal soldiers. "Brother Fang, Second Young Master, you are here. Please come in. The soldier, with a knife at his waist, let us into the courtyard.

Inside, there are not many people, that is, more than 20 craftsmen, but there are more than 30 guards patrolling inside, over there, on the side of the water, there are a few people fiddling with crystal clear utensils, no need to guess, that is glass products, after nearly two years of hard work, a lot of capital investment, finally succeeded in making better quality glass, which is why I want to come here.

But I'm here today, mainly for the doors and windows of my new yard. I don't like paper on the windows, glass is what I need most.

"I've seen the young master." The Persian at the head bowed to me with a skewed rice tone. This guy was originally held hostage by the Jinju Academy, and later fell into my hands, but, after a long period of ideological education, he has understood his situation, and the salary I give him every month is much higher than when he worked for other people, and he is already proud of being a Datang person, and he is very dedicated to the development and research of Datang glass products to make his due contribution, at least, with his assistance, we have obtained relatively pure glass.

Well, although it does not reach the purity of the glass of later generations, the transparency and realism have fully met my requirements, at least I dare to pack a ticket, and the clarity of the lenses of telescopes made of glass produced today has even surpassed that of crystal-polished lenses.

The important thing is that the glass we produce is free of bubbles, and this secret recipe, which has been kept by the Venetians for hundreds of years in later history, is not worth mentioning in my eyes.

With the continuous improvement of their production level, the technology of glass blowing is becoming more and more proficient, and now the finished product rate has reached four or five out of ten, a very good success rate, however, so far, a piece of glassware has not fallen out, because I am not satisfied with the current level of craftsmanship, now there are several old jewelers are studying the polishing and painting on the glass, at present, is still experimenting, what I need is an opportunity, at least a few glassware after the need, I will personally dedicate to Uncle Li, Let this old rascal advertise for me and sell it.

As for the flat glass needed to make mirrors, I don't know how to do it, but I can still get flat glass by doing it with clay methods, that is, blowing the glass onto a flat and smooth stone slab, and then quickly rolling it with a very round stone rod, so that at least I can get at least a few feet square of flat glass before the glass cools.

----------------------------------------------------Although the yield of the flat glass obtained in this way is not high, that is, ten pieces of glass, there are about three or five pieces of glass that can be completely flattened, and the rest need to be cut according to the size of the plane, but at least the raw materials for making mirrors do not need to worry.

As a mirror, apart from me, only my third lady and sister know the formula, and everyone else can't even think about it. Because of the need for secrecy, I am here today just to check the progress, and in addition, to pull a cart of flat glass home and test it as a glass mirror.

The room in my small courtyard that was originally used as a steaming room is still empty, very large, just suitable for doing this, Bo Naljin and Fang Cheng are naturally the materials to lay down, dozens of flat glass are all placed on the ground, and there is a passage for people to walk in the middle, and the ground has been re-made into a complete plane with cement, and the knocked tin foil was carefully placed one by one on the slab off work, and then gently and slowly crushed, so that the tin foil is close to the surface of the glass, and then, Motioned to Fang Cheng to bring the iron kettle containing mercury, at this time, I had already put on a mask, and even Fang Cheng and Bo Narjin also blocked their mouths and noses with masks.

When he was done, he checked it, then exited the room and locked the door. "Toshirou, go back to the house and rest." The palace maid's sister has been waiting outside the door, I don't allow her to enter, because I don't want mercury poisoning patients at home, although I have masks, but I don't want my women to take risks, and I, Fang Cheng, and Bo Naljin are all tough men, and their resistance and metabolism are far stronger than delicate beauties like palace maid sisters.

"Hmmm! Let's go back first. After I motioned for Fang Cheng and Bo Narjin to leave, I took off my mask, took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and smiled at the palace maid: "It's finally done, and then, we can only wait." "To be honest, I was a little uneasy inside...... －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
