After inspecting her son's workshop, Zhu Niang decided to join in.

Zhu Hao was very satisfied with his mother's attitude, the mother and son returned home and told Aunt Li about the matter, and Aunt Li asked puzzledly: "Didn't my sister say before that she wouldn't be involved in the side business?" Why did you change your mind after only one trip? ”

Aunt Li's eyes were a little narrow, as if to say, you are so unprincipled as a mother? Shaken after a trip with your son?

Zhu Niang didn't know how to describe it, and explained after a while: "After seeing it with my own eyes, I think it's quite decent, so I just don't have anything to do now." ”

How to "look decent", she didn't say.

But Zhu Hao knows in his heart that anyone who has visited the laboratory will be surprised by the scale of the laboratory and the sense of science and technology contained in it beyond this era...... It's just magical.

Zhu Niang had some vision, and she only went to inspect it once, and she made up her mind to invest.

"Mother, this workshop in the city is experimental, if you really want to produce it on a large scale, it will take about one or two hundred taels of silver to start a workshop by the river outside the city." Zhu Hao made a plan.

You decide to invest, and I immediately ask you for money.

Zhu Niang frowned: "Need so much?" ”

Zhu Hao smiled and said: "It's not much, you have to pay some royalties, purchase materials in large quantities and pay workers' salaries, etc., the key is to build a factory next to the river...... It's a workshop, plus some iron vessels, and clay pots, etc., ......"

Zhu Niang glanced at her son: "How much it costs, you make a list, and I will control it myself...... I can't give you the money, you just tell me how to do it. ”

Zhu Hao stuck out his tongue: "Mother, this is trying to steal my business, you will be a big boss as soon as you come up?" ”

"Haha."

Aunt Li teased on the side, "Young Master Hao, did you know your mother's thoughts?" If you follow up on this business, of course, it will be up to your mother to decide...... Your mother is a big boss, and you are just a small boss. ”

Zhu Hao pretended to be very reluctant, but in fact, he wished that Zhu Niang would come forward to preside over the overall situation, so that as long as he completed the experiment, the follow-up work could be handed over, anyway, the money Zhu Niang made was his, and there was no question of believing it or not......

The focus of Zhu Hao's career is still on the imperial examination, and if he becomes an official one day in the future, he will not be able to take care of business matters.

If Zhu Niang is responsible......

It's his solid backing!

"That mother, tomorrow is just my rest, let's go out of the city together to choose a site, the workshop has a great demand for water, and we need to build a few waterwheels...... Actually, I've looked for someone to see it before, so you can refer to it then......"

……

……

After Zhu Niang handed over the matter of drying salt, she was depressed and depressed for a long time.

She is a strong woman character, but she is trapped by the times and has no chance to perform, it is her son who opens the Pandora's box in her heart, making her feel the pleasure that a woman can also be the master of the house and get ahead.

With her husband gone, a widow and son would have nothing to do, but if she put all her energy into her career, her life would be much more exciting.

Half a month has passed.

The workshop in partnership with Zhu Hao and Zhu Niang began to put into production, and the first thing to do was glass containers, all kinds of transparent bottles and cans.

In the manufacturing process, the better-quality flat glass was blown out, and Zhu Hao used the method of chemical silver plating to try to make silver mirrors.

Because of the poor quality of the flat glass obtained by the blowing method, Zhu Hao began to experiment with the calendering method, pouring method and other methods to manufacture the flat glass.

Throughout the spring, Zhu Hao was almost engaged in these things, and the laboratory became a scientific and technological reserve for the industrial production of the Ming Dynasty, and the research on the three acids and two alkalis was further deepened.

On the ninth day of the fourth lunar month, Su Xigui finally took time out of his busy schedule to come to Anlu, he wanted to talk to Zhu Hao about the improvement of the salt drying process in the salt factory, so under the guidance of his shopkeeper, he saw Zhu Hao who had returned from school in the palace and met him with Zhu Niang at noon.

"Shopkeeper Su, show you something good......"

Zhu Hao showed the glass products that had just been made to Su Xigui.

Su Xigui looked at it carefully, and was puzzled, when the shopkeeper who followed him next to him reminded: "The owner, it seems to be a glass ......."

Su Xigui asked puzzledly: "Third lady, Young Master Zhu, have you recently stopped drying salt and transformed the glaze?" In the past, I only heard that there were people in Lingnan tinkering with this thing, how did the craftsmanship spread to Huguang? ”

Zhu Niang was very nervous when she heard it, this is not exclusive to her own family?

The son didn't say that, and he threw at least a hundred taels of silver into it...... It won't even be a good sell, right? Is this the rhythm that is going to lose the sky?

"Master Su, don't you think that our craftsmanship can be compared to those small workshops, right? This material ......"

Zhu Hao said, suddenly picked up a glass bottle, threw it on the ground, only to hear a "bang", and it fell into pieces, which scared Su Xigui a lot.

Su Xigui's body shrank back: "Such a good thing, how can you say that you will lose it?" It's worth a tael of silver, right? As he spoke, he looked at the shopkeeper who followed him with a verifying eye, obviously not very knowledgeable, and needed to ask his subordinates if there was a market for this thing.

The shopkeeper was also taken aback.

Glazed products are most afraid of bearing external forces, just like white jade, I have never seen Zhu Hao waste things like this, just to prove that the quality of their products is good? Crisp sound when you fall?

"Show Su Dongzhu another good thing." Zhu Hao took out something from his arms.

Zhu Niang has never seen this thing.

Su Xigui took it, took it in his hand and looked at it, and almost dropped this thing to the ground with unsteady hands, Zhu Hao hurriedly reminded: "Su Dongzhu should be cautious, I can't get you a new one if this thing is broken...... If you want to say that the bottle just now is worth a tael of silver, how much do you think this thing is worth? ”

Zhu Niang probed to see what it was, and even the teahouse guy who came to serve tea couldn't help but look.

"What do you see? Go down! ”

Su Xigui put the things in his arms, not letting people see them, and after reprimanding the guy, he took out the things again, and unfolded them in front of Zhu Niang and his subordinates, and the people at the table took a breath.

It's a mirror.

In this era, there are only copper mirrors, and it is difficult to describe the quality of the mirrors that are polished.

In front of me is a standard glass mirror, which illuminates the face clearly in full light.

"Young Master Zhu, how many more do you have? Oh...... Third lady, you can't have made this, right? Su Xigui didn't know who to talk to about business with at the moment.

Zhu Niang looked at her son with a surprised gaze, she had been taking care of the workshop recently, and she had seen a lot of glass bottles, glass bowls, glass cups and even glazed tiles, but this mirror was the first time she had seen it, and she didn't know that her son would deceive himself on such a major matter.

Zhu Hao sighed: "Lord Su, let's talk about the value of this thing...... I'm also worried, the cost of this thing is too high, a small mirror costs a few taels of silver, if it is sold at cost price, I am afraid it will not be easy, right? ”

Su Xigui smiled and said nothing, and the shopkeeper next to him reminded: "If there are good things in this world, you are not afraid of no market...... There are more rich people in the world. ”

"And how much is such a small mirror worth?" Zhu Hao asked.

Su Xigui tentatively opened a price: "Ten taels? ”

After thinking about it, he probably felt that it was too little, so he immediately changed his words: "Fifteen taels can always be sold." ”

Zhu Hao smiled and took back the mirror in Su Xigui's hand, Su Xigui swallowed his saliva, he was a little reluctant, no matter how much this thing is worth, do you kid give me a piece first?

"I have something else here, convex lenses and concave lenses, what are they used for...... It's like this, some people who read books have bad eyes and blurry vision in the distance, if they wear lenses...... The sight of the ...... Others, mainly the elderly, can't see the near distance clearly, but if they use the corresponding lenses, they can see clearly......"

Here Zhu Hao's mouth is like a river, Su Xigui was stunned when he heard it.

Zhu Niang was surprised.

Aren't we working on glassware?

It's just some bottles and cans, I'm still worried about whether there is a market, look at other people's ceramics are not expensive, you want to sell a glassware for more than one or two silver?

But when I listened to the product introduced by Zhu Hao, it seemed that the glass bottle that was broken just now was not worth mentioning at all.

After listening to Zhu Hao's explanation, Su Xigui's eyes straightened: "Young Master Zhu, you're not joking, are you?" If the eye is broken, it is a disease, and it cannot be cured since ancient times...... You use a glass piece in front of your eyes, and it has this miraculous effect? ”

Since ancient times, there has never been a shortage of myopia and farsightedness, and presbyopia in the elderly is also a type of farsightedness, which almost everyone will get.

If this thing can really be put on the market, Su Xigui will naturally be able to tell how big the prospect is.

"I know that Su Dongzhu doesn't believe it, or else, Su Dongzhu will find a few people, and I will bring the lenses after school in the afternoon, and let them verify it then?" Zhu Hao smiled.

Su Xigui hurriedly instructed the shopkeeper next to him: "Look at who in the entourage is old and dizzy, and find a young man who has read badly, and then find a young man who has read badly, and this will be found for Young Master Zhu...... Fast! ”

When you encounter this kind of good thing, can you wait until the afternoon? Don't you kid want me Su someone to die in a hurry?

Zhu Hao said: "Lord Su, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, why are you so anxious?" It's useless to be anxious, I don't have anything with me, it's better to display good things the same, let's talk about this silver mirror first...... How much is it worth? I can make up to 20 silver mirrors a month, ...... size It's almost that big, at what price are you going to get it? ”

Su Xigui understood what Zhu Hao meant.

No wonder this kid doesn't take all the good stuff out with him.

Let's reveal that there are good things in the follow-up, but it depends on sincerity! Don't think that there was a deal before, I will sell you all the good things, if you don't give a sincere price now, you can "cure the eyes" glass lenses you will listen to with your ears, you want to see you again!
