Lu Chen took Liu Jing to Liulifang in a hurry, after all, this thing is likely to be the first entry item of Lujiazhuang at present, how could Lu Chen not pay attention to it.

When I arrived at Deliulifang, I saw that there was already a glass solution in the crucible, in fact, the formula given by Lu Chen was tested with the attitude of trying it out, and I didn't think that it would succeed once, and it would be done without thinking about it once.

Looking at the glass solution in the crucible, Lu Chen was happy for a while, this is a money road, when the time comes, get this thing out, and Lu Jiazhuang will not worry about the entry.

"Is it starting to cool down?" Lu Chen looked at the glass solution in the crucible and asked.

"Back to Master Hou, it's already starting to cool down!" Hearing Lu Chen's question, the craftsman hurriedly responded.

"So what are you waiting for! Give it a try! Can you make it? Lu Chen pointed to the steel plate on the side, this thing was specially prepared by Lu Chen to make large pieces of glass.

"Hey!" Hearing Lu Chen's words, the craftsman slowly poured the glass solution onto the steel, and then two craftsmen carried a smooth steel rod that had been polished and began to "roll out the dumpling skin".

Looking at the large piece of glass that was gradually forming, Lu Chen couldn't be happier, with this thing, he could replace the window paper that blocked his vision, and the thermal insulation effect of this thing was much better than that of window paper.

As a result, before Lu Chen was happy for a while, he heard a "pop", and the glass on the steel plate was directly shattered.

"This..."Seeing the casual glass, Lu Chen suddenly had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears, and his joy was directly disappointed by the "snap".

"Master Hou forgives your sins!" The craftsmen saw that the glass was broken, and at the same time, Lu Chen's somewhat depressed expression hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty with Lu Chen.

"Get up! What are you doing here? Seeing these craftsmen kneeling for him, Lu Chen suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, it was just a piece of glass, in fact, Lu Chen was not unprepared to fail, and no one could guarantee that the experiment would succeed at one time, so it was normal for the glass to break, but these craftsmen actually knelt directly on the ground and pleaded guilty.

"The villain and the others accidentally broke the glass!" The leading craftsman knelt on the ground and said with his head bowed and worried.

"It's normal for this glass to break, what does it have to do with you?" Lu Chen looked at this group of craftsmen and said helplessly, "If you don't succeed once, you can do it again!" What a big deal! Get up! ”

"Huh?" It was the first time that these craftsmen had not been punished for their mistakes, in their hearts, but if they did not do what the adults asked them to, it was their sin, they were not given food at least, and they were beaten at worst, but Lu Chen actually let them get up with an understatement, so these craftsmen all looked at Lu Chen with disbelief.

"Ahhh Who said it could be done once! Lu Chen looked at the expressions of these craftsmen and said with a smile, "Ben Hou didn't say that it could be done at one time, clean up these fragments and try again!" ”

"Yes!" The craftsmen replied with some excitement, and hurriedly got up and made another pot of glass solution.

"I guess the temperature wasn't well controlled just now! The large ones may not be easy to control the temperature! We can try small pieces, gradually increase, don't be afraid of failure, try a few more times! If you succeed, let people report it! It was impossible for Lu Chen to stay in Liulifang all the time, and after Lu Chen finished speaking, he left Liulifang, because he was going to the steel workshop, which was a new workshop built by Lu Chen to make flintlock pistols.

When I came to the steel workshop, I saw Liu Laosan polishing a steel pipe, and this steel pipe was the barrel blueprint of the flintlock pistol given by Lu Chen.

"Lao Liu, what's wrong?" Looking at Liu Laosan, who was seriously polishing the steel pipe, Lu Chen asked.

Don't look at this steel workshop, which is not small, but Liu Laosan is the only one working in the entire workshop, because the craftsmen of the entire Lujiazhuang are almost used by Lu Chen, and there is really no manpower to work in the steel workshop.

"Master Hou!" Liu Laosan has been concentrating on polishing the steel pipe, and did not notice Lu Chen's arrival, hearing Lu Chen shouting himself, Liu Laosan hurriedly put down the steel pipe, got up and saluted Lu Chen.

"No need to be polite, how did things go?" Lu Chen saw the pile of parts on the workbench in front of Mr. Liu at a glance.

"Back to Master Hou, everything is almost ready! Please take a look! Liu Laosan dodged out of the way, so that Lu Chen could go to the workbench to check the accessories of the flintlock pistol.

Lu Chen picked up the barrel and looked inside, at this time, the inner wall of the barrel had been polished very smooth by Liu Laosan, and the other accessories had also been polished by Liu Laosan.

"Not bad!" Lu Chen put down the barrel of the gun and nodded with satisfaction, "Liu Jing, have you got all the things that Ben Hou wanted?" "With a gun but no bullets, what's the difference between this thing and a burning stick.

So Lu Chen asked Liu Jing to go out and buy a lot of black powder ingredients, what are the ingredients of black powder, one nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoal.

"Back to the Hou Ye, each prepared about five hundred catties!" Liu Jing said to Lu Chen.

"Why so few?" Lu Chen looked at Liu Jing suspiciously, you must know that the use of saltpeter and sulfur is not too great in these years, and charcoal will be used more in winter, but it is also easy to buy, because Lu Chen doesn't understand why Liu Jing only bought about 500 catties of everything.

"Go back to Master Hou, there is no money!" Liu Jing looked at his own Hou Ye and couldn't help but say with a bitter face, his own Hou Ye is good everywhere, but he spends too much money in terms of finance, since Lu Chen entered Lujiazhuang, there has been no idle time, and these farmers who came to work were also paid, and the congratulatory gifts that Lu Chen gave to Li Xiuning for his promotion to Hou Ye were almost used by Lu Chen.

"No... No money! Lu Chen suddenly remembered that he had been punished by Li Yuan for a year, Lu Chen felt distressed when he thought about it now, it was all money, the county marquis, he was also a second-class man, and there were fifteen yuan a month, and it was one hundred and eighty a year, so how many things could be purchased, as soon as he thought of this, Lu Chen felt distressed.

"No! Lao Tzu has to go and ask for money! Lu Chen suddenly said viciously, you must know that Wang Jue, Wei Ting and Xiao Yu still owe Lu Chen a gambling account, and if they are owed, Lu Chen can also have a lot of income, not counting the fields, just by smelting iron from the ore of five mines, Lu Chen can also exchange a lot of money, of course, with the imperial court.

At this moment, I saw Du Junqiu hurriedly running in from outside the door of the steel workshop.

"What's wrong? Running like this? Lu Chen looked at Du Junxuan with some displeasure, "You are also a squad leader of the back guard now, what kind of panic is this?" ”

"Master Hou! A large group of people came from outside the village, and Lin Lang, the servant inside the decree, also came, asking the Hou Ye to go outside the prince to receive the order! Du Junxuan gasped and said.

"Is this Li Yuan idle, how can he give himself an order to play all the time if he has nothing to do for a day!" When Lu Chen heard this, he asked himself to accept the order, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he still had to go, and if he didn't take the order, it would be "resisting the order and not complying with it", which would be nothing to do.

"I don't know what this emperor wants to do this time!" Lu Chen still couldn't help but complain, while Liu Jing and Du Junqiu, who were following Lu Chen, shrank their necks, as if they hadn't heard Lu Chen's complaints about Li Yuan.

Lu Chen took Du Junsui and Liu Jing to the entrance of Lujiazhuang Village, at this time the incense case was ready, to be honest, after receiving so many holy decrees in so many days, for Fang Qi and Meng Ji, preparing these things has already formed a conditioned reflex.

"Hou Luchen of Chang'an County, take the order!" Seeing that Lu Chen was coming, Lin Lang and Lu Chen nodded to each other, which was regarded as a greeting, after all, they were all acquaintances, and there was no politeness, Lin Lang directly began to announce the decree.

"Minister, Marquis of Chang'an County, Lu Chen, take the order!" Lu Chen bowed and said.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says..."Lin Lang directly opened the scroll of the holy decree and read it aloud.

The general meaning of the holy decree is that Lu Chen contributed to the blast furnace iron-making method, was promoted to the prince of Chang'an County, rewarded a thousand gold, gave 1,500 households of food, 3,000 acres of Yongye field, 100 horses of silk, etc., and the most important thing is that the reward of 3,000 people directly shocked Lu Chen.

You know, the prince's guards are only 1,000 people, and he is a county prince from the second rank of 3,000 people, isn't this? Of course, the King of Qin and Princess Pingyang don't count, after all, people have military power in their hands, ordinary ones like Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, and Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun, are only a thousand guards, if they accept the back guards of these 3,000 people, then they will directly be involved in a "transgression" by the family officials, and Li Yuan will also be accused of "violating the ancestral system", what does this emperor old man want to do?

But the holy decree has been issued, and Lu Chen has to accept it.

"Minister, Lu Chen, take the order!" Lu Chen could only bite the bullet and take the holy decree first, but when he saw the soldier behind Lin Lang who couldn't see his head under the black pressure, Lu Chen directly felt a pain in his head.

The reward in front made Lu Chen very happy, especially when he heard the "reward of a thousand gold", Lu Chen didn't mention how happy, after all, this is the money, but when he heard the "give three thousand back guards" in the back, Lu Chen muttered in his heart, although Lu Chen knew that Li Yuan wanted to let himself lead the troops, but he couldn't be so tidy, didn't he just set himself on the fire?

Originally, now he has a grudge with the three major families, Li Yuan will give the entire three thousand back guards, and then Lu Chen is still a county duke, and he doesn't even have the right to lead troops, isn't this handing over the handle to the family?

"Lu Xianhou! Oh no, it's Grandpa now! Lin Lang arched his hand at Lu Chen, and said with a smile, "Our family is here to congratulate Grandpa, Grandpa is the fastest promoted Hou Ye our family has ever seen!" ”

"Thank you, father-in-law!" Lu Chen muttered in his heart, and on the other hand, he had to deal with this Lin Lang with a smile.
