Wu Nian was overjoyed for a while, and gradually calmed down. He raised his head and said to the eunuch: "Let the officials of the Manufacturing Bureau wait in the Qianqing Palace." ”

"Yes." The eunuch answered, turned and went down.

Wu Nian turned his head to look at Liu Xiang, who was holding the mirror and looking at his face, and laughed at her stinky beauty. She's not angry, she's happy.

After a while, Wu Nian left Kunning Palace with the eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Office and moved to the Qianqing Palace in front of him.

Inside the Qianqing Palace. The two officials of the Manufacturing Bureau, one on the left and one on the right, stood on the left. Seeing Wu Nian coming in, the two immediately saluted.

Without waiting for them to salute, Wu Nian waved his hand and said, "No courtesy." ”

After coming to the throne and sitting down, Wu Nian went straight to the point: "The glass is made well. The relevant officials and craftsmen were rewarded. ”

"What about the production of glass?"

Just like cement, when it was first created, the yield was small. As a result of continuous research by craftsmen and an increase in the number of personnel, cement production has increased year by year.

Probably.

At present, the production of glass is not very large.

"Back to Your Majesty. At present, there is very little production of glass. The official on the right bent down and saluted Wu Nian.

"Hmm." Wu Nian was mentally prepared, but he was still a little disappointed.

After thinking for a while, Wu Nian turned his head and said to the eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office: "You have also seen the glass. This translucent is used instead of papier-mâché. The Ministry of Internal Affairs replaced all the doors and windows in the Imperial Palace. ”

"Then send someone to replace all the princes and noble mansions of the Han Dynasty with glass."

"Divide the glass plates among the princes and nobles."

"And mirrors."

"Let them invite the squires, the outsiders, and the officials to come to their homes and have a look. Take out a glass plate and serve pastries. ”

"Let their ladies invite the lady and the young lady to admire the mirror."

"Then open twenty glass emperor stores in the capital. Sell glass. ”

"Do business. Gotta get the word out. The things used by the royal family, the prince, and the nobles are all good things, needless to say. It won't take long for merchants from the Great Han Dynasty, and even merchants from the Chu State, the Southwest Tusi, and the Western Regions countries to flock here. ”

"The glass business is a huge profit."

"Let the staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs be ready to pick up money."

A smile appeared on Wu Nian's face. Two words, profiteers.

"Yes." The eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office immediately understood when he heard this. The two officials of the Manufacturing Bureau, on the contrary, were a little sluggish.

Forthwith. The officials of the Manufacturing Bureau and the eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs left.

Wu Nian sat on the throne and thought in his heart.

I just spent five hundred taels of silver to buy folk grain. As soon as the glass comes out, you can not only earn it back, but also make a lot of money.

When you have money, you will use it to control the Yellow River and the Loess Plateau.

Allocate more military funds to improve the food of soldiers and soldiers.

It is also possible to give tax exemption to some poor places.

Money is a good thing.

It's a shame to eat ashes in the warehouse.

Wu Nian's will was supreme in the Han Dynasty. The eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs worked unimpeded.

In this huge capital, a glass wind was immediately set off.

Glass plates used by royalty, royal families, and nobles. The transparent glass windows. And the most important thing, the mirror that can be seen very clearly.

Immediately, it caused a sensation in the upper class of the entire capital, and then spread.

Middle- and upper-class wealthy people such as squires, local tyrants, and outsiders are all eager for glass. Officials and craftsmen of the manufacturing bureau worked overtime to make glass.

The imperial store in the capital city was soon opened.

Time. The glass shop is crowded with outsiders. Because the production is limited every day, it is sold out early. What you buy is happy, and what you can't buy beats your chest.

As Wu Nian expected, some merchants from the Western Regions and merchants from the Southwest Tusi.

There are also Vietnamese businessmen and so on, all involved.

Merchants in the Western Regions took precious stones and gold to buy glass.

Merchants in the southwest of Tusi and Vietnam took ivory, agate, and jadeite to buy glass.

And the glass thing. It's the same with porcelain. The material is sand.

Wu Nian's glass made of sand not only harvested the rich foreigners, local tyrants, and squires in his country, but also harvested foreign merchants by the way.

Now the Han Dynasty and the Slavs are in a state of hostility, and there are no economic and trade exchanges.

But the Slavs could have gotten glass through the road of the Western Regions.

For Europeans. Tea, silk, and porcelain produced in China are all valuable and in-demand commodities.

Wu Nian believed. Slavic nobles, when they see glass mirrors, also go crazy. And then obediently pay for it. In a sense, the glass is a blood-sucking bug lying on the Slavs, which can make a great contribution.

But. Wu Nian doesn't care about these things. It's all done by the eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He is more concerned about making transparent glass into a glass greenhouse.

Agriculture.

Agriculture is the foundation of the country.

...........

Inside the capital. There was light snow in the air, and the wind was bittersweet.

There are many fewer pedestrians on the streets than usual. But in front of the glass shop, there are still crowds. Some merchants played in person, and some merchants sent domestic slaves to squat.

Buy glass.

An inconspicuous carriage, parked around the corner. There were more than 100 guards.

Wu Nian lifted the curtain, looked at the glass shop in the distance, smiled slightly, lowered the curtain, and ordered the guards to go to the east of the city.

The magnates of the Chu State.

There is also the imperial village of Emperor Daojun.

There are too many acres of land confiscated outside the capital. Wu Nian gave many fields to the heroes and famous generals, but his imperial villages were still all over Zhili.

There are both southeast and northwest.

An imperial village in the east of the city is called Shanglin Huangzhuang.

It consists of a manor and some private houses, with more than 2,000 acres of land.

The procession soon came to the Huangzhuang, and the eunuch in charge of the Huangzhuang led the Zhuang Ding and went out to meet the emperor.

Wu Nian got out of the carriage and looked at the eunuch, who was an old eunuch.

"What's your name?" Wu Nian asked.

"Back to Your Majesty. The old slave is Qin Hui. The old eunuch replied respectfully.

"Hmm." Wu Nian snorted, and then entered the imperial village with the old eunuch, first looking at the granary being built.

At present, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already started to buy food.

Together with the power of the imperial court, stabilize the price of grain among the people.

After visiting Huangzhuang, Wu Nianyou and Qin Hui came to the glass greenhouse that is currently being piloted.

Wu Nian doesn't know much about the technology of glass greenhouses, but he also knows that the key is sealing. Therefore, the construction of this glass greenhouse used a lot of soil methods.

The wisdom of the working people was mobilized to finally build it.

At present, the greenhouse is already in operation.

Wu Nian took the inner guards and Qin Hui into the greenhouse, revealing a satisfied expression.

The greenhouse is covered with greenery.

Although there are greenhouses, the temperature is relatively high. But you can't just plant randomly.

At present, the crops grown in the greenhouse are cold-resistant.

Wu Nian was very satisfied.

Qin Hui was no longer surprised. He supervised the creation of this thing.

But the attendant Ouchi guards and eunuchs were dumbfounded.

What do we see?

Crops growing in the winter?
