Chapter 162: The Wonderful Use of Glass
The capital is located in the north, and it is very hot at noon and very cold at night after autumn, the temperature difference between day and night is getting bigger and bigger, and there are fewer and fewer vegetarian dishes on the table.
"It's been so long, why hasn't the glass developed by Lao Liang moved at all? No, we have to check it out. ”
Glass is related to the construction of solar greenhouses, which is very important to Li Changfeng.
It's okay just in autumn, but when it comes to winter, there will be no fresh vegetables at all, and Li Changfeng doesn't want to eat meat and dried vegetables all at once.
When he came to the scientific research institute, Liang Dafu tried to improve the steelmaking method at the steelmaking plant, and hurriedly greeted Li Changfeng when he saw him.
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
Looking at Liang Dafu, who was dirty all over, Li Changfeng said helplessly: "I said Lao Liang, seeing that it's autumn, why is there no movement at all in the glass?" Without glass, you can't do a vegetable greenhouse, how can you earn money to support you to continue to engage in scientific research? Don't you just take this to heart? ”
Liang Dafu suddenly shouted: "Your Highness, you can't say that, why didn't your subordinates rest assured?" We know the manufacturing process of glass, but there are still many improvements, large-scale manufacturing is too difficult to achieve, and purification alone is very time-consuming, labor-intensive and labor-intensive! ”
"Besides, where do subordinates have so much time and energy to devote to such trivial matters? Do you want to build artillery? Should the musket be improved? And that gasoline and diesel, which doesn't require time and effort? ”
Li Changfeng was speechless for a moment.
Truly.
Since he discovered Liang Dafu, a scientific research wizard, after his soul penetrated into this world, he told Liang Dafu the method of whatever he wanted to do, let him study it by himself, and he was the shopkeeper and enjoyed life every day.
Liang Dafu has indeed undertaken too many scientific research tasks, and in terms of importance, it is indeed not so important to make glass to build vegetable greenhouses.
"Okay...... You have a point. ”
Li Changfeng sighed, and did not put on his own prince's shelf.
However, Liang Dafu realized that his attitude was a little inappropriate to speak to Li Changfeng, and said apologetically: "Your Highness forgives your sins, do you want your subordinates to put other things aside and build a vegetable greenhouse first?" ”
Li Changfeng waved his hand: "No need, it's not impossible to do it without glass in the vegetable greenhouse, now let's focus on artillery and muskets." By the way, explosives and mines are also remembered, and now that the cadres are using troops, these things are more important. ”
Liang Dafu nodded solemnly: "My subordinates know." ”
"Come on!"
Li Changfeng patted Liang Dafu's shoulder and turned to leave.
was about to leave the scientific research institute, and Li Changfeng, who was unwilling, moved in his heart, patted his forehead, and looked happy.
"Even we can't mass-produce glass, so isn't this a rarity? If it is made into an ornament tea cup jewelry, wouldn't it be a big seller? Almost missed out on a good business that made a lot of money! ”
He fell into a thinking mistake and always subconsciously measured his perception of the world by the experience of his previous life.
Glass was not worth much in the previous life, even if it was made into an ornament tea cup jewelry, it was not worth a few dollars.
But in this world, it's a proper rarity!
Even the finest jade is not as crystal clear as glass, and it is definitely eye-catching.
The big dry people don't understand glass, and the value is not just blowing by themselves?
Thinking of this, Li Changfeng walked quickly towards the glass production workshop and gathered all the workers who produced glass.
After learning about the relevant situation, Li Changfeng came to the capital again, offered a surprisingly high salary, and hired several jewelry masters to bring to the glass production workshop.
For the next three days, Li Changfeng spent time in the glass production workshop, during which he sent someone to bring a lot of gold and precious stones from the mansion.
Three days later, Li Changfeng already had more than a dozen pieces of beautiful and crystal clear glass jewelry in his hands, plus gold and various gemstones, showing a high-end atmosphere.
"Yes, it's really good, this look doesn't sell for a few thousand taels and it simply doesn't show the identity of the wearer."
Li Changfeng smiled happily and ordered the workers and jewelry masters to make it with all their might, and he picked the best five pieces and went to the palace.
When I met Emperor Qianwu, Emperor Qianwu was reviewing the chapters.
"Xiao Jiu, why do you have time to come and see me today?" Emperor Qianwu looked a little tired.
"Father, my son is here today to give you a gift." Li Changfeng said with a smile.
"Oh?"
Emperor Qianwu suddenly became interested, put down the imperial pen, glanced at the box held by Li Changfeng and said with a smile: "It's really the sun coming out of the west, and your kid will even give me a gift?" Is there something you want me to do? Let's open it and see if we talk about it. ”
As he spoke, he got up and came to Li Changfeng, Gao Dali didn't dare to get too close, so he could only stretch his neck to look.
If others say that they are sending things, Gao Dali will definitely not be interested, but Li Changfeng is different, if he wants to engage in strange and new things, the whole Daqian will not be able to compare with him.
"Hey, hey, Father, look!"
Li Changfeng opened the box.
Emperor Qianwu glanced at the contents of the box, was stunned for a moment, and then his face became ugly.
"Bastard, you don't have the time and energy to figure out how to get the artillery and muskets up, what are you doing with all this stuff? It's a plaything! ”
Emperor Qianwu was so angry in his heart!
He worked hard for the sake of the big work, and he thought that Li Changfeng would come up with something good for the benefit of the country and the people, but he never thought that it would be such a useless thing.
Can't you get down to business?
Li Changfeng was a little confused by Emperor Qianwu's words.
What's going on?
reacted immediately, with a look of grievance.
"Father, you can't say that, to engage in scientific research institutes and various factories, have you paid a tael of silver in addition to giving some worthless land? As for artillery muskets, you think you can make them with your mouth open? Don't you need to spend money? Erchen doesn't want to try to make money, how can these things be done? Leaning on a mouth like you? ”
This series of rhetorical questions made Emperor Qianwu's face red and black for a while, and he scolded angrily: "Bastard, how can you talk to me? There are no rules at all! ”
After speaking, Emperor Qianwu, who knew that he was at a loss, hurriedly changed the topic.
"You think this thing can make money?"
"Hehe......"
Li Changfeng accepted it when he saw it, did not dwell on the topic, laughed, took out a lifelike Shenlong paperweight from it and handed it over.
"This one is yours!"
Then he took out a teacup carved with a Fushou turtle and stuffed it into Gao Dali's hand.
"This one is yours, for tea!"
As he spoke, he patted Gao Dali's shoulder: "Old Gao, this prince is interesting enough, right?" ”
Emperor Qianwu glared at Li Changfeng, and then put his eyes on the Shenlong paperweight in his hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Good stuff! What a good thing! ”
The glass paperweight in the hand of Emperor Qianwu is crystal clear, the body is decorated with pure gold scales, and the eyes are made of gemstones, lifelike, majestic, and full of atmosphere.
Such a delicate paperweight, which he had never seen before.
Gao Dali also looked at the teacup in his hand at this time, and his eyes burst out with an astonishing look, as if he had seen a rare treasure, and held it carefully.
It is also a crystal clear cup, with a carving of a Fushou turtle and a tortoise shell made of pure gold, showing its luxury.
Li Changfeng glanced at Emperor Qianwu and said, "How is it?" Like it, right? ”
"Like! Love it so much! Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward! ”
Gao Dali hurriedly bowed down to worship, and his heart was filled with joy.
As the great eunuch next to Emperor Qianwu and the person in charge of the East Factory, what treasures has he not seen?
But this is the first time I have seen such a crystal clear and delicate object.
The most important thing is that Li Changfeng still thinks about him when he gives gifts to Emperor Qianwu, and this intention is the most precious in his opinion.
Li Changfeng did not look down on him because he was a eunuch slave, but regarded him as a friend and elder, which was an emotional experience he had never had.
Just like when he was in White Rock City and Wasteland, Li Changfeng pulled him to eat at a table, which was heartwarming.
Emperor Qianwu glanced at the teacup in Gao Dali's hand, the look of surprise in his eyes flashed, and Gao Dali's mind was exquisite, and he immediately handed it over.
"How can such a treasure be worthy of the old slave? The old slave is willing to sacrifice to His Majesty! ”
said that he offered it with both hands, but the reluctance in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
Emperor Qianwu was a little moved, and was about to reach out to pick it up, but was pulled back by Li Changfeng, looked at Emperor Qianwu and said speechlessly: "Father, are you too embarrassed to grab the things of your courtiers?" ”
"Bastard, how do you talk?!"
Emperor Qianwu scolded without any intimidation, reluctantly glanced at the Fushou Turtle teacup, and then looked at the three pieces of jewelry in the box, and his eyes burst out with an astonishing look.
"It's a good thing, I'm rich all over the world, I haven't seen any treasures, and this is the first time I've seen such treasures."
I've never seen the world's dirt buns!
Li Changfeng complained in his heart, and said with a smile: "One of these three pieces of jewelry is for the queen's mother, and the other two are for the mother concubine and one for the pearl." Erchen won't go to send it in person, so let your father be a good person, Erchen is interesting enough, right? ”
Li Changfeng originally planned to send it himself, but after thinking about it, he dispelled such an idea.
First of all, the fact that today's queens of the world wear this kind of jewelry is itself an excellent kind of propaganda.
Emperor Daqian gave this thing, which will naturally make other concubines in the harem envious and jealous, and it will definitely attract followers to buy and compare with each other, and finally make other women from powerful families also flock to it.
Although they are different time and space, there is no difference between women's pursuit of jewelry and jealousy and comparison.
Build momentum first, and then wait for the jewelry store to open, which is sure to sell well.
"Three? There are so many concubines in my harem, you will give me three? It's so stingy! Emperor Qianwu said dissatisfiedly.
"Stingy?" Li Changfeng's expression was exaggerated, and he jumped up directly, "The phoenix hairpin prepared by the minister for the queen mother alone is worth more than four thousand taels, the paperweight of your father is worth more than five thousand taels, Lao Gao's cup is more than three thousand taels, and the two pieces of the mother concubine and Mingzhu are also several thousand taels, adding up to more than 20,000 taels in total, which is also called stinginess?!" ”
"So expensive?!" Emperor Qianwu was taken aback.
