Fire water? Of course, Shen Wuwan didn't know what fire water was, in fact, even in the world of Mahan Mountain's previous life, not many people knew what fire water was, because this was the name of kerosene in the local dialect. Ma Han Gaoshan deliberately used the name of fire water, he felt that the name of fire water was much more image than kerosene, isn't this the water used to ignite the fire?

Although Shen Wuwan didn't know what fire and water were, he could see the key to these lamps at a glance. Lamps are good, but whether lamps can replace existing lighting tools, the key is not how good these lamps are, how bright the lights are, the key is the price of fire and water.

"What is the price of fire and water?" Shen Wuwan asked a key question.

"Be smart, ask the price of fire and water and not the price of the lamp." Ma Hanshan smiled and said, "Of course, the price of fire water is not too expensive, it is only a little more expensive than the lamp oil used now, such as one hundred and fifty Wen, what do you think?" ”

"This fire and water are not cheap." Shen Wuwan responded.

"Is it expensive? I don't think it's expensive at all, because a pound of fire and water takes much longer to light a lamp than a pound of vegetable oil, and it is much brighter, and one hundred and fifty wen will definitely not be expensive. Ma Hanshan knew that kerosene lamps were definitely much brighter than the vegetable oil lamps and wax oil lamps that people use now, and whether they were more durable, so he had to try to know, he guessed.

The price situation of Da Song and the Great Song Dynasty in another time and space is about the same, some things are unbelievably cheap, and some are frighteningly expensive. For example, the oil in this world, whether it is vegetable oil or animal oil, is about 50~100 Wen. But a two-inch mandarin orange costs 10 wen, and the treasures are sold for twenty or thirty wen, and a lychee is ridiculously expensive, and it is a hundred wen at every turn.

In such a comparison, a pound of kerosene sells for 150 yuan, which is indeed not expensive.

"Coupled with the freight and merchant profits, the price is more than 200 Wen, which is really expensive, if it is about 100 Wen, this fire lantern will definitely be popular." Shen Wuwan was very familiar with the consumption power and prices of the Dasong people, and he felt that if the price of fire and water was the same as the price of existing lamp oil, then the fire water lamp would definitely replace the existing lighting method.

"Haha, don't be in a hurry now, let's talk about it when the fire and water lamps are built." Ma Hanshan was too lazy to talk about it now, stood up and said, "Boss Shen, it's late, let's stop here tonight, and we'll talk again tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow, I'll go back with the team first, Qian Yin, I'll leave 10,000 taels for you first, and then settle when the autumn green fragrance comes out, and refund more and make up for less." Shen Wuwan stood up and said.

"Well... Thank you so much Boss Shen....... Ma Hanshan was overjoyed, and had a night talk with Shen Wuwan "Bing Candle", the purpose was to make him pay for it, and he was finally busy in vain.

The next day, Shen Wuwan left with his convoy, taking away more than 2,000 catties of tiger head tea, as well as ten catties of drunken immortal wine that Ma Hanshan gave him.

……

With the silver, a lot of work can be accelerated, and the tile tank village has entered the stage of rapid construction.

Of course, some things still take time to do, for example, it takes time to build a house, because the tiles need time to dry before they can be burned, the adobe bricks can also take time to dry before they can be used, and the wood that has been cut back also needs time to dry before they can be used.

So, what you can do now is to prepare all the materials you need, prepare the place to build the house, dig the foundation and so on.

There are many houses to be built, and a winery needs at least three houses, a winery, a steaming workshop, and a warehouse. The brewery also needs an open space to dry the material. The place was planned by Li Zhuoshui, and the brewing workshop was built on the east side of the large lawn of the headquarters, which was the size of several football fields, and he also asked for two-thirds of it.

The steaming and brewing rooms are on the east side, while the material warehouse is located on the north side of the lawn away from the workshop, next to the headquarters "building".

Mahanshan also planned a forging and casting factory, and the factory was built by the river, because Mahanshan planned to use hydraulic calcined iron and stamping parts, so the place chosen was the place with the largest drop in the river.

Originally, the calcination and casting should be separated from the two factories, but now everything is in the start-up, and Ma Hanshan does not have so much energy to subdivide and not so many resources to subdivide, so they are all handed over to Liu Guisan to be responsible. Fortunately, this "old disciple" is now very energetic, and after apprenticing to the teacher, he wrote a letter to find someone, and soon more than a dozen skilled craftsmen of iron-making and iron-making, as well as iron-making, Ma Hanshan was very happy, and felt that this "old disciple" was very powerful.

Of course, the Agricultural and Agronomic Research Institute also wants to build a house, but this is not a top priority, so this one is ranked last by Mahanshan. What is needed most now is the factory, so not only a casting plant has been built by the river, but two more factories need to be built, and he believes that these empty factories will be used next year.

The most mysterious thing is that not far from the temporary crude oil warehouse, Mahan Mountain planned a piece of land, the house has not yet been built, but the wall has been built first, no one knows what it is used for, from the beginning of the construction, there are militia guards.

This is the future "refinery", of course, no one can enter, along with the cave used as a warehouse, Mahan Mountain has to be fenced, this area will be a forbidden area in the future.

The official number of the village soon expanded to 300 people, and the militia to 100 people. Liu Heizai has left the militia camp, and now he is the director of the steaming workshop, and every day he hides in the temporary steaming workshop where the militia is guarded at the door to "make money" for the tile pot village.

Although there is only one steamer now, more than 100 catties of wine steamed out every day are two or three hundred silver, which is not what raw silver is.

……

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, Ma Hanshan has picked up more than ten loads of black oil from Snake Valley, and Yu Tianchuan, who has been on a "business trip" to Xixia Country for more than a month, has also returned, he not only brought back a lot of samples of glass products that Ma Hanshan wanted to paint, but also brought back the owner of a glass workshop.

There are many samples of glass products that Ma Hanshan wants, including glass bottles for wine, small bottles for perfumes and medicinal oils, as well as bottom bottles for fire water lamps, and lampshades for fire water lamps and wind lamps.

Ma Hanshan admired these models one by one, and he was quite satisfied with the various bottles, although they were not very transparent. But for the lampshade, he is extremely dissatisfied, this kind of transparency, can not play the characteristics of fire and water lights at all.

"Abu... Mr. Said? Your sample, these bottles and cans I can barely OK, but these lamps pass through the lampshade, no, not transparent enough. Ma Hanshan was very dissatisfied and said to Abu, the owner of the glass factory, who was drinking tea.

OK What the hell, everyone is confused.

"Honorable Mr. Zhai Master, Said is what Mr. means, you still call me Han name, I have a Han name called Li Abu." Abu stood up and covered his chest and bowed to Mahanshan and said, "First of all, thank you to Mr. Zhai Master for teaching me how to blow air to make glass. ”

Although, this world has been able to produce glass, but can only produce glass sheets, most of them are rich people's use of bright tiles, window glass, or some rough cast glass products, etc., the method of blowing glass to blow out various shapes of glass products has not yet been invented. Before Yu Tianchuan set off, Ma Hanshan told him that the things he wanted could be blown out by blowing air.

No one would believe that a glass bottle could be blown out with an air blower, but Yu Tianchuan had the drawings drawn by Ma Hanshan in his hand and the silver, and in the end, Li Abu had the idea of trying it out, and he really made a model.

"That's not worth mentioning, you can supply me cheaper in the future." Ma Hanshan waved his hand and said.

He is not pretending to be generous, he really doesn't know how to burn glass, and he doesn't know how to blow glass, he just knows that many glass products are made by blowing air.

"That's for sure." Li Abu nodded solemnly.

"But these products must be more transparent glass." Ma Hanshan said, raising the lampshade in his hand.

"Glass?" Li Abu stared at Mahan Mountain.

"Yes, glass that is very transparent, more transparent than crystal, is called glass." Ma Hanshan doesn't like the world to call glass glass, he always thinks that glass is those smooth vitreous tiles. He suddenly remembered what information he had read in his previous life, saying that the glass burned by iron and other metal elements in the sand was not permeable enough, and looked back at Li Abu and said, "Mr. Abu, I heard that if you grind the sand into powder, and then use a magnet to select and burn it, the glass will no longer have such green things." ”

"Really? After returning to the West Gorge, he immediately experimented. Li Abu bowed to Ma Hanshan again, because of the previous glass blowing incident, he now deeply believes in Ma Hanshan's suggestion.

"Master Ma Zhai, there are three glass factories in Xixia, one is franchised by the royal family of Xixia Kingdom, and the other two are opened by big cannibals. If you want more transparent glass, you may have to look for sand. Yu Tianchuan interjected.

"What do you mean? Does it mean that with sand from other places, glass can meet the requirements? Ma Hanshan frowned and said.

"Unless, sand is brought from my hometown to be fired, and the transparency can be more transparent." Li Abu said.

"Huh? From the big food transport sand to the West Gorge glass-burning? Isn't it crazy? Ma Hanshan's eyes widened in shock.

The so-called big food is the Middle East Arabia region that Mahanshan said in his previous life, and there must be at least three or four thousand kilometers from that place to the West Gorge Country, and the sand transported from thousands of miles away is just to burn glass? How much do you have to sell for these glasses?

"It's not crazy at all, that's what the Xixia royal family did, the so-called government-run glaze factory is to transport sand from Dashi to burn glaze." Yu Tianchuan said again.

"Oh, such a crazy country, it's easy to lose the country." Ma Hanshan thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Abu, do you have glassware that eats sand burning?" I'll see how thorough it is. ”

In this world, the key to making fire lamps and wind lamps is oil and lampshades. Oil, Ma Hanshan has done a small test, can refine kerosene, now the lampshade is missing.

If the lampshade is not transparent enough, it will not give full play to the advantages of the fire and water lamp, and everything is equivalent to a toss.

Li Abu took out two palm-sized glasses and handed them to Ma Hanshan, and when the owner of Ma Dazhai saw it, he immediately applauded loudly, this is the glass he wanted.
