Fu Xuechen, who returned home, was still annoyed that he was not a man, and that he was just a man dressed as a man, otherwise Cheng Defang, a hated person, would definitely have to make an appointment, and the other party's nose and face would be swollen to relieve his hatred. If you are a woman, you don't care if you win or lose the fight, as long as you participate in the fight, it is enough to ruin your reputation.

Now I can only find a way to squeeze the living space of the other party's study building with commercial means, and even crush the other party and force it to go out of business, but unfortunately the study building is only the Cheng family, and the other people of the Cheng family are implicated, which is a little helpless, but who let them raise people like Cheng Defang is not so innocent.

Fu Xuechen, who calmed down, showed a trace of remorse again, and was impulsive again!

I actually gambled with people about the bookstore's business, what should I do if I fail? Originally, I could have run it in a very Buddhist way, but now that it's okay, I have to spend my energy to run it seriously, and I really have nothing to do.

This night, Fu Xuechen went to find his mother Xie Shi, on the one hand, he reached out to ask for funds, and on the other hand, he asked if there were suitable workshops and craftsmen under his name to see if he could make cheap glass, which is a new industry with broad prospects and must be in his own hands.

Xie really didn't disappoint her, the bookstore came with a small engraving and printing workshop, with a complete set of engraving plates of the subset of scriptures and histories, and there were two or three engraving craftsmen, who were responsible for printing scripts, but the scale was small, so the output was not high.

In addition, there is a porcelain kiln, the porcelain produced is not only for its own needs, but also for sale, but because the scale is not large, the porcelain produced is often attached to the Xie family's main lineage, and sold to various places through the Xie family's channels.

"The porcelain kiln can't be given to you, at least not yet." Xie thought that his daughter wanted the ownership of the porcelain kiln.

"Mother! I mean, I want the porcelain kiln to help make a batch of glass! Fu Xuechen explained.

"What glass?" Xie Shi was puzzled: "I've only heard of Liuli. ”

"Uh......" Fu Xuechen thought for a while: "Glass is a kind of glass, but the manufacturing process of glass is much simpler than glass." ”

"You can also make glass?" Xie was surprised.

"Kid just try." Fu Xuechen shook his mother's arm: "Mother, you will let our porcelain kiln help the child make a batch of glass, okay!" ”

Xie couldn't stand his daughter's coquettishness: "Okay, okay, Ming'er, I'll let the head of the porcelain kiln cooperate with you." ”

"Thank you, mother! Mother, let me tell you, you have made a lot of money this time! It won't be long before you know how wise you promised me! ”

Fu Xuechen left with joy, Xie couldn't cry or laugh, but he just thought it was a child playing around and didn't take it to heart.

With the matter of making glass in mind, Fu Xuechen was absent-minded all day.

Walking like a process, I accompanied the six princes to memorize texts and practice calligraphy as usual in the morning, and practiced riding and archery for an hour in the afternoon, and then accompanied the six princes to the Ministry of Industry to continue reading the materials, referring to and learning the various design drawings and theories of the Ministry of Industry, and finally got to school.

Accompanied by Fu An, he went to the Xie porcelain kiln, and Xie May, the head of the Xie family, who had already been informed by the Xie family, greeted him.

This is a young man in his twenties, the son of Xie's mother's family, his mother is one of Xie's nursing mothers, he can basically be regarded as Xie's milk brother, Xie got married, he and his mother followed, and has been serving as the head of the porcelain kiln.

In Xie's words, this is a very shrewd man, not only in charge of the porcelain kiln where Xie married, but also in charge of some other workshops and mines that Xie married.

Fu Xuechen's father also had a company in his previous life, which was still not too small a profit and tax company, but before the company in later generations developed into a large group, it basically did not cross borders, and only operated on the one-third of an acre of land to which it belonged.

The ancient wealthy family is different, involving a wide range of aspects, don't look at the Xie family's branch in the mother's family, the status of the generation is not the highest, but because of the marriage of the Fu family, the dowry can be rich, and the scale is not large, but there are shops, fields, mines, and workshops.

Fu Xuechen felt that as long as the children of the Xie family did not die, and had these properties as backers, they would not be down, if there was something promising, such as Fu Yuchen as a marquis, he could also work part-time in a high position in the army and become his sister's power backer, then these properties might still be able to play the trick of big fish eating small fish and small fish eating shrimp in the shopping mall, and the bigger and bigger it is, the more money will be rolling.

There was no nonsense, after the two sides saw each other, Fu Xuechen opened his mouth directly: "Thank you, can you find two sides of quartz sand and calcite for me?" There are also 50 catties of soda ash, feldspar, and limestone, and in addition, can you find a large crucible that can withstand ultra-high temperatures without breaking? ”

"Yes! The young master still has any orders, even if they are ordered together! "Even if Xie May is facing a minor boy, she has the respect and obedience that people in this era should have for the young master of the main family, and she did not stage any drama of being slapped in the face for neglect.

These things are available in porcelain kilns, quartz sand and feldspar were originally the raw materials for making porcelain, and calcite is an associated mine, so it is not difficult to find.

Fu Xuechen heard that the preparations were complete, put down the teacup, and followed Xie Wuyue to the pile of materials.

As a science student, Fu Xuechen played with homemade quartz sand glass, but it was a playful laboratory preparation, and only a little bit was made at that time, at most enough to rub a few glass beads, but now he has to play for real.

Fu Xuechen took a breath, at the beginning, she didn't dare to make the scale too big, for fear that she wouldn't be able to close the scene, so she started with a small-scale trial production first.

Under the curious attention of a group of porcelain kiln craftsmen, she fished all the materials together according to the proportion of materials in her memory, mixed them well, and then poured them into the crucible.

The first thing was simple, but the difficulty was to burn it high enough, and to stir it after the material in the crucible had dissolved to drive away the bubbles, but when she told the kiln craftsmen about these requirements, the craftsmen were very difficult.

This is different from burning porcelain, burning porcelain does not need to interfere halfway, the porcelain embryo is put into the kiln, you can seal the kiln smoldering, according to experience, burn enough time to open the kiln, you can get porcelain, but Fu Xuechen asked them to stir after the material in the crucible is dissolved, which ......

Never mind! Fu Xuechen deeply felt the powerlessness of developing new products when many conditions were not yet available in ancient times, so he had to give up for the time being, and there would be bubbles! I can't care about this much, so let's get a crucible of molten glass first—even if the molten glass has solidified when the kiln is opened.

Fortunately, unlike dissolving quartz sand into a liquid state, if the solidified finished glass liquid wants to be re-melted into liquid glass, it does not need such a high temperature, and the temperature of ordinary molten iron can be, so the most important thing is to get the liquid glass first.

The porcelain kiln can barely be burned to the required temperature, in order to better reduce the melting point of silica in quartz sand, Fu Xuechen slightly increased the proportion of soda ash and limestone, whether it can be successful, it depends on the results of trial production.

To melt the raw materials of quartz sand mixed with other materials, in addition to the ultra-high temperature of more than 1,000 degrees, it will take more than eight hours, Fu Xuechen did not have time to stay here, and after handing over the follow-up precautions to Xie May, he left the porcelain kiln.
