Chapter 61: The Glass Sphere
Zhu Houxi saw that Lu Song was coming, and he didn't plan to let him go back, so he took Lu Song to wander the streets of the Manraka King City together.
After Zhu Houxi's design and transformation, the current Manraka royal city has become an inner city, and the street pattern is more orderly.
In front of a vendor, Zhu Houyu picked up the objects on the stall and began to look at it, due to the language barrier, Zhu Houyu couldn't understand what the other party was saying, so he could only say to Lu Song behind him: "Reward." ”
Lu Song took out ten taels of silver from his arms and threw it at the other party, and the stall owner, who was originally muttering something, suddenly began to dance with his eyebrows on his face when he took the silver thrown by Lu Song.
Of course, Zhu Houxi didn't care about the mood of the vendor owner, he was staring at the object in his hand at the moment and fell into thought.
The thing in Zhu Houxi's hand is nothing else, it is a very common glass ball in later generations, if he hadn't seen the glass ball here, Zhu Houyu almost forgot that he still has the method of making glass.
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, Zhu Houxi's face showed a smile, glass is of great help to people's livelihood, Zhu Houxi is convinced that when his glass factory is completed, Daming will become more prosperous because of his glass products.
"Lu Song, you let people build a factory, and this king wants to make this kind of glass ball."
Lu Song looked at the glass ball in Zhu Houxi's hand, which turned into colorful under the sunlight, but he didn't understand why his own prince wanted to make such a thing in batches, but of course Lu Song would not refute Zhu Houxi's decision, and immediately bowed down to accept the order.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Under the surprised gaze of the vendor owner, Zhu Houxi threw back the glass ball in his hand and turned around to return to his residence, because he wanted to write down the production method of glass as soon as possible, so that the factory could expand the production of glass.
Back in the dormitory, Zhu Houxi took out a piece of rice paper and began to design the work, including the construction of the factory, the layout of the factory, and the process of making glass balls.
The main raw material for the production of glass is sand, and there is no shortage of raw materials for glass balls around Manraka Island, and as for other materials, Zhu Houxi also listed them one by one, so that the people below can find them.
The time lasted for two days, and when Zhu Houxi called the design drawings in his hand to Lu Song, his whole person was extremely tired, and his previous highly concentrated spirit finally relaxed.
"Your Highness......"
Zhu Houxi raised his hand to interrupt Lu Song's words and said: "This king is fine, but he is a little tired, and he will get better when this king sleeps for two days." ”
Lu Song didn't give up and said, "Your Highness, it's better to let the imperial doctor come over and show you." ”
Zhu Houxi knew that Lu Song really cared about him, and if he didn't agree all the time, he would definitely continue to persuade endlessly.
"Got it, you go and pass on the imperial doctor."
In terms of Zhu Houxi's health, Lu Song was obviously very concerned, and with Zhu Houxi's approval, Lu Song left quickly, and after a while, Wu Imperial Doctor, who was responsible for following Zhu Houyu to leave Daming as an accompanying military doctor, returned with Lu Song.
Imperial Doctor Wu first saluted Zhu Houxi, and then began to give Zhu Houyu a pulse, Zhu Houxi, who was originally confident that his body was fine and was very optimistic about his body, waited for Imperial Doctor Wu's face to slowly become heavy, and his heart also rose.
I can live to be 60 years old if I eat arsenic, so there really is something wrong, right?
Imperial Doctor Wu said solemnly: "Lord Wang, although you are still young, you can't spoil your body like this, if you continue like this, you will inevitably destroy the original foundation." ”
Seeing that Imperial Doctor Wu didn't say what terminal illness he had, Zhu Houxi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"This king knows, you all step down, this king needs to rest now."
When the two left the dormitory, Zhu Houxi finally threw himself on the couch and began to recuperate and recuperate.
Lu Song and Imperial Physician Wu left Zhu Houxi's dormitory and began to part ways, Lu Song took the design drawings given by Zhu Houyu and ran to Hu Benwei to recruit manpower to build a glass factory in Manraka.
When Zhu Houxi completely recovered his spirits, it was already three days later, and the glass factory had begun to be built, and local workers were also recruited to work in Manchuria, and Hu Benwei was responsible for supervising the construction of the glass factory.
"Your Highness, King Franco sent someone to ask to see His Highness."
Glancing at the fire man Yasan who spoke, Zhu Houxi said quietly: "Let him in." ”
When the envoy came to the main hall, Zhu Houxi raised his eyes and found that the other party turned out to be an old acquaintance Simon.
"Foreign Minister Simon, I have seen His Highness."
Due to the development of Zhu Houyu in Manga, now the Francophone does not dare to underestimate the Ming Dynasty, under the promotion of Zhu Houyi, Manraka belongs to Zhu Houyi's half of the land, and the development situation is obviously superior to the half of the land of the Franco.
After listening to the translation of Yasan the Fire One, Zhu Houxi asked casually, "What is the so-called matter of His Excellency Simon's coming this time?" ”
"Your Majesty has long admired the name of His Royal Highness Xingwang, and I would like to invite His Highness to meet him in the palace."
As soon as Simon finished explaining his intentions, Zhu Houxi began to sneer in his heart.
The only place where Manraka can be called the royal palace is the Manraka palace not far from Zhu Houxi, and Zhu Houyu himself does not want to go to live in the Manraka palace, for fear of provoking the aborigines of Manraka.
Now that King Franco wants to meet him in the palace, this is obviously trying to make the mentality of the aborigines of Raja, if Zhu Houyu agrees to King Franji's request, who of these aborigines will work hard for Zhu Houyu at that time.
Zhu Houxi smiled and said: "It's okay to meet in the palace, if King Franji really has the heart, he can personally send me to the capital of the Ming Kingdom, and my eldest brother will definitely welcome him warmly." ”
After Simon listened to the translation of the fire Yasan, the resentment in his eyes flashed, and he was not discovered by anyone, King Franco received King Da Mingxing in the palace, originally wanted to establish a dominant position at the same time, he could occupy the magpie's nest, but he didn't expect that Zhu Houxi was so ignorant of etiquette and refused the invitation of King Franco.
"Your Highness, I hope you can understand that you are only the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, not the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you are not equal to my Majesty, my Majesty invited you, and you have no reason to refuse."
Zhu Houxi laughed angrily and said: "That's right, this king and your majesty are not equal, this king is the king of Daming, and he has two lands in Daming, what kind of thing is the king of your Buddha Langji, and you dare to compare with this king?" ”
Simon didn't expect that this Zhu Houyu was so unscrupulous, if he thought Zhu Houyu was a madman before, then now Zhu Houyu is a psychopath in his heart, and he is not worried about Fran Ji taking force to suppress him.
"I didn't expect that a great country in the Ming Dynasty would be so ignorant of etiquette, and falsely claim to be the kingdom of heaven, Your Highness humiliated me so much, have you ever thought about the consequences?"
