With Li Hao personally supervised, the villagers were enthusiastic about their work, and in just two days, a large wagon of quartz ore had been excavated. The group returned with a full load.

People sang mountain songs, drank fine wine, diligently helped the victory of the mission, and laughed and laughed along the way.

Li Hao sat in the carriage and looked at everyone quietly, these were the first people to follow him to establish Lijiazhuang. Now Lijiazhuang can have such a scale, and they are famous all over the world.

Over the years, no matter what unbelievable orders they have given, they have not worked hard, endured popularity without a trace of complaints.

Now looking at the happy smiles on their faces, Li Hao secretly clenched his fists, he must let Lijiazhuang be strong forever, and let the villagers live happily ever after!

The reason why Li Hao is so anxious to collect quartz forged glass is to seize business opportunities and expand Lijiazhuang. On the other hand, it is also for the upcoming test.

The Tang Dynasty is prosperous, with five surnames and seven hopes. These seven great families colluded with each other and restrained each other, so even an eternal king like Li Shimin did not dare to deal with it at will.

Now the Wang family in Taiyuan and the Cui family in Qinghe have been planted in the hands of Li Hao. No matter how well Li Shimin concealed it, it was difficult to guarantee that the news would not reach the ears of other family leaders.

was able to successfully win the Cui Wang family, largely because of their light enemies, and these people did not take Li Hao, a fledgling boy, in their eyes.

But now that two of the Seven Hopes have been removed, this is a strange thing that has never happened in a hundred years, and I believe that several other families will also be alert and want to deal with them, but it is not so easy.

Li Hao sighed, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds and sighed: "Master Lu, I hope you can bring me a little surprise, otherwise I'm sorry for the territory I gave to you with all my strength!" ”

After the quartz ore was brought back to Lijiazhuang, it was immediately secretly transported to the smelting department.

The next day, Li Hao came to the smelting department in person, he retired from the idle people, and handed the plan for forging glass to the most trusted smelting minister.

After reading it, the smelting minister patted his chest with confidence: "Don't worry, the owner, I will definitely live up to my expectations!" Brothers, open the furnace! ”

As soon as the words fell, a group of elites of the smelting department were busy, they burned the furnace and opened the kiln, and everyone was at their fingertips, and they were extremely skilled.

The quartz ore was divided and crushed into quartz sand, and all the materials were poured into the forging furnace according to the proportion of the plan given by Li Hao.

In the heating flame, the quartz sand gradually melts and fuses with other materials to form a fiery red liquid.

"Everyone present was very excited, because the miracle was about to unfold in their hands!"

"Open the furnace! Inverted mold! ”

The smelting minister shouted excitedly, and several shirtless workers skillfully pulled the steel cables, and the huge furnace gate was opened, and the fiery red liquid rolled down the melt channel and poured into the abrasives.

The glass forging could not be water-cooled, so he could only wait for him to cool down slowly.

The fiery red faded away, and the crystalline liquid solidified into a piece of crystal clear glass.

"How's it going, owner!" The smelting minister had never forged glass, and when he saw the large transparent thing in the mold, he didn't know whether the forging was successful or failed, so he could only ask Li Hao.

Li Hao's body trembled, he couldn't speak excitedly, he raised his right hand so violently that he clenched his fist with one hand.

"It worked!"

The minister of smelting is also the first veteran to follow Li Hao to open up the wasteland, so he naturally knows Li Hao's habits, and every time he makes this action, it means that their innovation is successful!

Everyone cheered and boiled, no one thought that such a hard and beautiful artifact as glass could be successfully forged at one time!

In the next few days, Li Hao found a few old people in Lijiazhuang who made a living by blowing candy and invited them to the smelting department.

The glass is made, but to make the cups, pots and pans, it also requires the technology of blowing glass.

Although manual production is very slow, where is there such a thing as a machine tool in the Tang Dynasty, for the time being, you can only ask for labor.

However, this also has the advantage that the handmade cellophane products are delicate and beautiful, and they can be more elegant. Anyway, Li Hao went to great lengths to get these things out, but he never thought that it could be used on a large scale.

The rarer, the more precious, the more beautiful, the more alluring.

During the Tang Dynasty, glass was a transparent object that was very ornamental and would definitely be liked by those dignitaries.

What is the ability to make money from the poor? What Li Hao earns is the money of local tyrants!

After arranging everything, Li Hao got into the work of making quartz into jewelry again.

Fortunately, Li Hao had read a lot of magazines before he crossed, and he had also seen a lot of jewelry at home and abroad.

In fact, diamonds are crystals, and rough crystals are not expensive, and the reason why those famous jewelry at home and abroad are priceless is that the makers spend their minds on it.

Li Hao clenched the quartz in his hand: "The crystal mine has not been found for the time being, so let's replace it first, and when Lao Tzu finds the crystal mine, let you taste the beating of capital!" ”

After making up his mind, Li Hao immediately began to get busy.

Three days later.

Li Mingda and Wan'er were playing in the water by the river, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter day by day in the summer, which was a good time to play in the water.

"Wan'er, Mingda girl!" Li Hao rushed from a distance with a happy face.

When Li Mingda saw Li Hao, he couldn't help but blush slightly, and hid behind Wan'er, not daring to look at Li Hao.

Li Hao didn't care about this, took out two boxes from his arms and handed them to the two girls.

"It's a gift for you!"

The two girls knotted strangely and opened the box to take a look.

I saw two beautiful necklaces lying in the box, the necklace was no more than the size of a thumb, it was the quartz fragment that Li Mingda picked up that day, Li Hao had carefully polished them into a droplet-shaped, the water droplet was surrounded by a gold base, and the chain of the necklace was made of silver and other mixed alloys. The texture is hard and has a certain anti-poison effect.

The water droplets of these two necklaces are not regular, there is a certain arc, which is deliberately done by Li Hao, the two water droplets are put together, and the arcs on both sides can fit each other and be reassembled into a larger water droplet.

"Seeing that you have such a good relationship, I made it like this. It's a testament to your friendship! ”

Li Hao stood in front of the two girls with her waist crossed, at this moment she was wearing her hair loose, her sleeves were rolled up in her hands, her eyes were slightly dark, and she looked like she had stayed up all night.

Looking at the exquisite necklace in his hand, looking at Li Hao's tired but happy smile, Li Mingda's heart felt like honey. She clutched the necklace in her hand and gave Lee a big smile.

"Thank you Li Hao, I like this chain very much, I will wear it for the rest of my life!"

"Young master, how can the slave and maid be virtuous, how can she wear the same necklace as Her Royal Highness the Princess, please take it back!"

Wan'er was a little panicked on the side.

Although Li Mingda is knowledgeable, after all, he is a princess and likes Li Hao.

Now that Li Hao has given himself this necklace like a maid, in case Li Mingda gets angry, Li Hao will be in big trouble.

Wan'er didn't ask too much in her heart, and she would never let Li Hao get into trouble.

Before Li Hao could speak, Li Mingda had already snatched the box in Wan'er's hand and put the necklace directly on Wan'er's neck.

"What's wrong, Sister Wan'er, you look good with it, I want you to wear it for the rest of your life!"
