Chapter 162: Coal Mine

Besides, the old lady did what she said, and in the afternoon she sent someone to the town to buy the things to be used for apprenticeship, and a picture of the master's posture directly settled in Zhong Ningjun's yard!

In this way, there is no need to build a second courtyard for the Kuang family.

The materials I bought to build the yard before were all good wood and masonry tiles, and the village school couldn't use them, so Qin Yunzhi spent a little money and collected them all directly, planning to use them to build the Ginseng Valley.

Sleep followed her mother to take inventory, and found that the wood and bricks were enough, but there was still one important thing that I didn't find a way to buy.

Glass.

I remembered that there were many glass cups in the Baicui Building of the Kuang family, and I ran to the old lady before I ate dinner and asked: "Grandpa Stinky Mouth, where do you sell glass windows, you want a big one." ”

Besides, the old lady didn't dare to offend the little ancestor of sleep, although he felt that the title of "smelly grandfather" sounded awkward, but he could only admit it.

The old man thought about it seriously and said: "The glass window, but also a big fan, ouch, this is not easy to find in the north, Dingzhou sells a lot of glass gadgets, but the large glass is very skillful, the whole Dayu is afraid that few people have seen it, let alone made it." ”

After sleeping and listening, she was a little distressed, and there was no big Yu at all, so where was she going to find it?

Sister Zhong showed the house map drawn by her mother, and she had to use a lot of glass windows.

Besides, the old lady saw her drooping her head, and felt a little unbearable, so she said, "Why don't you go to Yuezhou to have a look?" Most of the glaze, porcelain and other products in the north are from Yuezhou, especially the Sang family in Yuezhou, which used to specialize in this business, but the Sang family has declined since the death of the previous generation of family owners, so you may be able to try your luck. ”

Sleepy remembered Mrs. Sang, who had been rescued by her mother a few years ago, and thought that she could go to the Fucheng General's Mansion to ask first, so she went home and told her mother about the matter.

Qin Yunzhi actually doesn't have to use glass, but the little girl wants to ask, so take her there, and go to Fucheng to see her nephews by the way.

Mrs. Rong hadn't been out for a long time, and seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, it was time to buy a few more sets of cotton clothes for the children in the family, so she called the other two daughters-in-law Ming'er to go together.

At dinner, Rong Laosi also knew about Qin Yunzhi's request for glass windows, and asked, "Yun Niang, how big do you want glass windows?" I'll find it for you! ”

Qin Yunzhi didn't want to trouble him, so he said, "Don't worry about this, eat more every day when you go out early and return late." ”

After speaking, he also served him a dish.

Sleeping and sleeping, my father finally had the opportunity to behave, how could he refuse, he ran back to his mother's room, took out the drawings drawn by Sister Zhong, spread them on the table and said, "Daddy, my mother wants a lot of glass windows!" Jieli Jieli ...... Some small frames are the places where the glass windows are installed. ”

Rong Laosi was shocked after reading it: "This, so much, ......"

The price of glass is expensive, is there enough money at home? Not enough for him to cry with the general......

Gu Xing and Gu Jianqing consciously put down their chopsticks, and their eyes followed and turned around on the drawing.

Then Gu Xing said: "The production of glaze is not popular in Yu Kingdom, most of them flowed in from the West and Fanbang decades ago, and it is not easy for the fourth aunt to find such a large amount of suitable glaze." ”

Qin Yunzhi was a little curious after hearing this, and asked, "Why isn't it popular?" Is there a problem with the craftsmanship? ”

Gu Xing shook his head, he didn't pay attention to these things on weekdays, so naturally he didn't know it very well.

Gu Jianqing took a sip of tea, and directly interjected and replied: "Of course, it's because of the mine." ”

"Mine ...... The production principle of glaze is not complicated at all, with ore as the main raw material, potassium nitrate in nitrate to reconcile and occur chemical reactions, and then smelted with coke, add copper powder, iron filings, Dan lead and other metal coloring. ”

Gu Xing: "......"

Gu Jianqing: "......"

How can it be so difficult to fire glaze, how can it be so simple in the mouth of the fourth aunt......

"These ordinary raw materials are naturally not lacking, but the firing of glaze requires high temperatures, and a large amount of coal is needed.

Qin Yunzhi: "......"

Got it.

Coal trading is in the hands of the emperor, it is impossible for ordinary people to use it easily, no wonder she went all the way from south to north, and saw that every household still uses firewood for cooking, even in General Yan's mansion.

Gu Jianqing felt that she should not waste her efforts, and said: "Although there are still people making glass, the production skills of glass are limited to making glass balls, glass cups and glass bottles. ”

Qin Yunzhi was not so persistent, and after thinking about it, she nodded in response, but she still had to go to the General's Mansion, and she needed some glass products to make some small things.

After dinner, Gu Xing, who had been in Baizhang Village for more than a month, resigned to the Rong family again.

He has already seen the results of the implementation of the whole army household, if the law is strict and the law is clearly employed, the combat strength of the militia is not much worse than that of the army, and it can greatly enhance the cohesion of the people.

That is, reluctant to sleep.

She knew that Brother Gu Xing was going to leave again, and she was reluctant, but she knew that Brother Gu Xing was a person who did great things, so she said obediently: "Then I'll wait for my brother to come back, is it okay to wait for the New Year?" ”

Gu Xing touched her little head and said, "Of course you can, my brother will take you to Yunzhou to play during the Chinese New Year this year, okay?" ”

Sleep has never been out of Dingzhou by himself, and the time he was arrested doesn't count, he immediately cheered when he heard the words, and he also hooked up with Gu Xing!

In the evening, when the sun set, Gu Xing left with the guards.

Sleep and sleep sent him to the entrance of the village, and then counted with his little hands, it was less than three months before the New Year, and she was playing and playing It passed quickly, and it was not sad to think about it.

Qin Yunzhi led her funny, and when she was about to go back, two dirty carriages slowly walked to the entrance of Baizhang Village.

A woman covered in mud in the carriage poked her head out and asked, "This lady, take the trouble to ask if this is Baizhang Village?" ”

Qin Yunzhi nodded: "This is Baizhang Village, what is your business?" ”

When the woman heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and could not help but press the corners of her eyes, and said, "It's time to ...... Madame, here we are! ”

Qin Yunzhi frowned lightly and continued to ask, "Are you here to find someone?" ”

The woman helped a gray-haired but somewhat noble old lady get out of the carriage, saluted Qin Yunzhi, and said, "We are the people sent by the Qinzhou Mansion to learn ginseng, this lady, can you take us to meet the village chief of Baizhang Village?" ”

Sleep showed his big eyes from under the rabbit ear cap, and looked at the stranger with some doubts: Didn't you say that there was still half a month to come, and this was too much in advance?
