Chapter 561: The Golden Bucket (Eighth Update)
The temperature of the furnace is sufficient, not only can fuse the ore material for making glass, but also can fuse many alloys, which means that if the iron is made into steel, such a furnace only needs to be improved one or two, and the ore can be melted into molten iron and molten steel, which is not only simpler and faster than the current method of smelting ore into pig iron, and then beating it out of bubbles and impurities after thousands of tempering, and the quality will be improved by leaps and bounds.

At least a few former blacksmiths had seen the power of the hot furnace, and whispered as they licked the fuel into the furnace as fast as they could.
Of course, Ye Chunqiu will not have this mind for the time being, and now the consumption of iron and steel is too great.
It's just that after pouring the mold, Ye Chunqiu found that the yield rate was not very high, mainly because the mold was too rough and dry, and it could only be improved in slow production.
These are things that can't be rushed, Ye Chunqiu went back with a few good round mirrors, and when he went out, the huge chimney had already risen with billowing smoke, and in an instant, it seemed to become a special landscape next to the canal.
After production, it is to sell and open up the market, and about this, Ye Chunqiu and his uncle Sun Qi chose the most easy and convenient way after discussion, on the one hand, it is to put the mirror and glass on the shelves of the medical hall, and the town government will divide a part of the silver from it, and after the medical hall is displayed, if it can attract the likes of the ladies, the market will not be a problem for the time being.
Of course, this is just a channel.
The real channel is different.
Sun Qi took the sample to the Zuiyue Building in the inner city early the next morning, a silk merchant surnamed Chen waited here for a long time, this Chen silk merchant did a lot of business, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, there are thousands of acres of mulberry forests, and there is a silk workshop, but now, it has become one of the main suppliers of the women's medical hall.
The women's medical hall in the south of the Yangtze River has been constantly expanding, and the direction of expansion is mainly in the Nanzhili and Zhejiang political envoys, and almost all decent big cities have opened medical halls, and now the fame has gradually opened, and it has gradually become the main entertainment place for the ladies and ladies of the boudoir in the city.
Because of this, this shopping mall integrating health, shopping and entertainment has gradually taken shape, and the current profit has reached nearly 100,000 pieces of silver every year, but the vast majority of the silver is still used to purchase land, expand stores, and recruit a large number of people.
The emergence of the women's medical hall has almost completely crushed the traditional silk, jewelry, rouge gouache and other industries on the market.
The so-called business is nothing more than a channel, the channel of the mall enables the women who really have the money bags in the mansion to release their purchasing power, and the original stewards, directors, and purchasing personnel entrusted by them have plummeted, so the businessmen who are almost involved in these industries have lost their customers all of a sudden, and they have to face two choices.
Either cooperate with the women's hospital and supply the women's doctor's center, or you can only bear huge pressure and barely maintain the business, but the maintenance of this business is already very limited.
In fact, the commercial activities of this era have never been for ordinary people, because the vast majority of people are self-sufficient, men and women weave, these people have no need at all, at most they just tear a few feet of coarse cloth during the New Year's holidays.
And the real consumer group is the rich family, although the number of these people is not much, but the purchasing power is amazing, and now, these customers snowball to the women's hospital, which makes many businessmen frown at the same time, some people take the opportunity to be included in the supply system of the women's hospital, but earn a lot of silver.
Chen Silk Merchant is one of the latter, and most of his silk fabrics are now exclusively supplied to the Women's Hospital, and only some inferior products or scraps will be supplied to other places, that is to say, the Women's Hospital is now the only source of income for Chen Silk Merchants.
Chen Sishang also has some relationships in Beijing, mainly in Beijing, mainly in Beijing, so he will come to Beijing at this time of year, on the one hand, to maintain a relationship with some people in Beijing, to send some ice and charcoal, on the other hand, to find some business opportunities, I heard that Sun Qi is also there, and he has to feast Sun Qi every once in a while, after all, this Sun Qi is his main food and clothing parents today.
Sun Qi's background, he has long figured it out, there is a brother-in-law who is watching politics in the household department, and the nephew is even more powerful, the famous Ye Xiuzhuo, Ye Xiushu is Wang Butang's unmarried son-in-law, and he is a proud protégé, these relationships are enough to make people jealous.
It is precisely because of this that Sun Qi has done such a big business in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, but few people dare to make things difficult.
Just sat down, before Chen Sishang could greet him, Sun Qi had already taken out two things with a smile on his face, and said, "Today's wine, Sun invited, Brother Chen, there are two things here, please take a look at Brother Chen." ”
So straight to the point, this is not Sun Qi's style, Chen Sishang didn't dare to slack off, he was busy taking two things, one is a transparent crystal-like thing, which is like glass, but not glass, Chen Sishang couldn't help but say: "What kind of treasure is this?" ”
As he was talking, Chen Sishang picked up another one, and when he looked at it, he was startled by himself inside, this is a mirror, but it is by no means a bronze mirror, but the effect is stronger than the copper mirror, I don't know how many times, a hair on his face can be reflected vividly in the mirror.
"Yike...... This is ......" Chen Sishang looked at Sun Qi in astonishment.
He is also a wealthy family, not to mention luxury, but most of his usual use is top-notch, but these two things still make him feel rare.
"Is Brother Chen interested? This is a small business that Sun is doing now, well, this is called a crystal mirror, what is better than a copper mirror? And this, well, this is a crystal window, you see, if this is glued to this door and window, this house is not only sheltered from the wind and rain, but also clean and transparent......"
Sun Qi began to introduce the many benefits of these two things.
Although Chen Sishang listened attentively, he was thinking in his heart, things are good things, but he didn't know what Sun Qi's idea was.
When Sun Qi was almost finished, Chen Sishang couldn't help but say: "Listening to Sun Dongjia say this, this is really a natural treasure." This is half true, in his eyes, it is indeed a good thing, but the other half is a compliment, after all, the current business depends on the female doctor's hall, if the women's hospital reduces the share of supply, the business will not be good, once the goods are backlogged, it will be lost.
Sun Qi smiled, raised the teacup and took a sip of tea before saying, "So, Brother Chen also thinks that this crystal is promising?" Has Brother Chen ever thought about getting involved in this business? ”
