Chapter 53: The Blast Furnace Trial

Early the next morning, Xiaoqing came to the workshop early in the morning to check the progress of the production of the Yelan ballad sent to the palace.

The workers in the workshop had just come to work, and Xiaoqing picked up a piece of finished product and smelled it.

"The scent of peony flowers is indeed much better than that of daisies."

The tributed peony Yelan ballad is more refined than the general variety, the carved rubbing on the soap is more delicate, the alkali content is lower, and the outer packaging is made of silk to meet the needs of the high-end market for appearance.

"Wang, mother!" Xiaoqing shouted.

Wang Aniang walked over with a smile, "Xiaoqing, what's the matter?" ”

"This batch of goods is very important, we can only let the old employees do it, be careful when cutting, don't have residues, by the way, is the packaging fabric coming?"

Wang Aniang pointed not far away, "The fabric was delivered yesterday, you can rest assured, I guarantee that there will be no problems." ”

Xiaoqing walked under the shed where the fabric was stacked, lifted the white cloth, and touched it, the cloth surface was delicate and silky.

She glanced at the blush that remained on her hand, "This is?" ”

Wang Ah Niang pulled out the fabric, "It's over, this dye is wrong, this is dyed with cinnabar!" Comfrey is generally used. ”

"Cinnabar? Where did you buy this cloth from? ”

Wang Aniang thought for a while, "It's the largest Yunlai cloth workshop in Luoyang, I often buy cloth there, okay!" This king surnamed Wang dares to pit the old lady!"

Wang Ah Niang turned around angrily, "Sisters! Let's go, go to Yunlai Cloth Workshop! Settle the score! ”

The aunts put down the work in their hands and led the carriage to Luoyang City.

Xiaoqing hurriedly followed.

On the outskirts of Luoyang, Qin Mu sat in the carriage and sang happily.

"Today is a good day, everything you want can come true..."

"What are you singing? So weird. Wu Zhengji urged the horse and shouted.

"Old Wu, you don't know how significant this trip to Mangshan is for what we will do in the future, it's not an iron mine, it's a gold mountain!"

"Huh? That's a gold mine, that's not making a fortune! ”

"Tell you you don't understand, when we go back, we will start making steel."

A few days ago, Qin Mu recruited fifty or sixty experts in building houses, three days have passed, the construction should be completed, now the weather is hot, the cement dries quickly, and the furnace can be opened tomorrow at the latest.

Half an hour later, the convoy slowly drove into Luoyang City, and Qin Mu spent some money to make points, saying that the car was pulling dirt to build a garden.

The guards at the gate took a brief look and let them go.

Walking on the streets of Xishi, Qin Mu saw a bunch of women rolling around in front of a cloth shop.

"This profiteer, the cloth I dyed with cinnabar has all faded, and I originally wanted the dyed cloth of comfrey, which is really a loss of conscience!"

"The surname Wang! Get out of here and give an explanation! ”

Then there are some unsightly swear words.

Qin Mu was particularly familiar with this scene, when he was a child, the quarrel between the women in the village was similar to this fight.

The employees of Yunlai Cloth Workshop could only scold and did not dare to reply, and the door panels of the store were strangled to the ground by the aunts.

People who wanted to come to buy cloth saw that they didn't buy cloth for this battle, and began to condemn their experience of being pitted together.

"I can't imagine that this profiteer in Datang is not much different from us at that time." Qin Mu sighed.

"Qin Mu, it seems to be Xiaoqing, and it is Wang Ah Niang who takes the lead in scolding!" Wu Zhengji reminded.

Qin Mu jumped out of the car with a spirit, "You go back first, I'll take a look." ”

"Xiaoqing!"

Xiaoqing turned around and saw that it was Qin Mu who was calling her and running towards him with a smile.

Xiaoqing told Qin Mu what had happened in the past two days.

"This Luoyang Guild is too bullying, I kindly gave them the market share of Yelan rumors, they are good, and they are doing small actions behind their backs!" Qin Mu suppressed his anger and said.

"Isn't this bullying honest people!"

If the cinnabar cloth is used as the outer packaging, the soap will turn blood red after a period of time, which is not only unlucky but also unhealthy.

Cinnabar contains mercury oxide, which is a highly toxic substance, and the Yelan rumor is that bath products enter the body faster when they encounter heat, and the Luoyang Guild wants Qin Mu's life!

Qin Mu wanted to step forward to theorize, but after thinking about it, the time was not yet ripe, and he had no way to deal with these people, so he could only endure it first.

"Let them scold, and when their voices are hoarse, I will pay for them to be cured. Keep scolding until they lose money and goods. ”

Qin Mu dragged Xiaoqing to his home.

What he didn't expect was that Ruoqin was so smart and witty, and Qin Mu now felt that he didn't complain about five hundred taels of flowers.

The loss of himself is through the Tang Dynasty and the reign of Wu Zetian, during this period, women's rights have undergone drastic changes, and these women around him are lucky to catch the express train of the trend of the times.

If you travel to the mite clear...

After returning home, Qin Mu came to the backyard, and what caught his eye was a chimney more than ten meters high standing in the yard.

Bamboo pole scaffolding is erected next to the blast furnace, and craftsmen on it are putting the finishing touches on it.

At this time, Uncle Zhang happily came to Qin Mu to ask for credit, "Qin Lang, how is it?" Does this meet your requirements? ”

"It's well done, exactly like on the drawings."

"Then there will definitely be no mistakes, they are all craftsmen from Mingtang, and they came here when they heard that you gave more money here."

Qin Mu, a craftsman who had built the Ming Hall, was even more relieved that the Ming Hall was a building hundreds of meters high, and all of them were high-rise buildings with mortise and tenon structures made of wood.

"That's a lot of money, they built this like a child's house.

In this way, after today's busy day, you will rest for a day, go to the West Wind Building to have a meal and go home and have a good night's sleep. ”

"Oh, Qin Lang, you are so good to us." Uncle Zhang wiped his tears with gratitude, "Aren't you going to try the furnace first?" ”

A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Qin Mu's mouth, "Try... Of course you have to try. ”

In the evening, a thick black smoke rises from the northwest corner of the West Market, like a black dragon soaring into the sky in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Qin Mu looked at the black smoke blast furnace and carefully observed its reaction.

"Xiaoqing record it."

Xiaoqing on the side took out a pen and paper.

"The air intake is stable." He walked to the wall of the furnace and stretched out his hand to stick it to the blast furnace, "The thermal insulation effect is good, about forty or so." "Knocked on the furnace wall," the furnace wall is intact. ”

"Charcoal!" Qin Mu shouted.

At the current temperature, it can only reach the level of cooking on fire.

"Oh no! Chairman! Chen Xiancheng rushed in with a bunch of people! ”

Qin Mu turned around and saw Chen Xiancheng coming over with a wind and dust.

"Stop it all!"
