Chapter 258: Crossing Essentials - Making Glass (2)

Three Kingdoms period.

Cao Cao took a large number of glass items and gave them to his courtiers one by one.

This is not only to win their hearts, but also to show off that they can also make such items in the Wei State.

His behavior made the hearts of those strategists and generals warm.

Since Dong Zhuo of the Han Dynasty thanked the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the world has fallen into strife.

They followed Cao Cao, asking not only for glory and wealth, but also for Cao Cao to trust them.

At the same time, they also believed that Cao Cao would definitely be able to lead them to unify the world.

And now that they have obtained the glory and wealth, what they are most afraid of is that Cao Cao does not trust them very much, as some emperors on the canopy did, and kill them.

And now what Cao Cao has done makes them feel from their hearts that they are valued by Cao Cao.

Scholars died for their confidants, and Cao Cao was their thousand-mile horse, and the founder of their life's glory and wealth, so why didn't they let them protect it.

Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guang looked at the video on the canopy and saw that the glass was actually made of quartz stone or sand, and he couldn't believe it.

That glass has been a valuable item since ancient times, how can it be made of quartz stone or sand?

These two things are very common in nature, and they have nothing to do with Liu Li, how can they make glass?

In order to verify the authenticity of the video on the canopy, he ordered the craftsmen outside Luoyang City to conduct experiments.

However, when he saw the glass products made by the craftsmen, he believed in the authenticity of what Tianmu said.

So he asked these craftsmen to make glass, after all, according to the canopy, the glass is also made in this way, and its performance is even better.

After several days of hard work by craftsmen, the glass was finally made.

Yang Guang saw the transparent glass in his hand, and he was very happy.

At the same time, he gradually understood what the windows in the city were in the later generations.

It is an item made of glass, and copper or iron should be added to it when refining, so that it can be changed into various colors.

Yang Guang looked at the gradually majestic Luoyang City, and he asked these craftsmen to make more such glass.

He also wants to turn all the windows of his Luoyang City into this kind of glass, just like later generations.

And he planned a place in Luoyang City, where he built a high-rise building like the later generations.

Yang Guang believes that it will definitely be the most majestic building in the Great Sui at that time.

Tang dynasty.

Li Shimin saw the video of making glass on the canopy, and he also ordered those craftsmen to make it immediately.

He was already able to make soda-lime glass at this time, but more often than not, it was made by chance, rather than a fixed method as stated in the canopy.

Now that Datang has obtained such a production method, I believe that it will definitely be able to produce a large number of them in the future.

After the craftsmen had made it, he rewarded his courtiers with the latest glasswork.

After all, he, the courtiers, has made a lot of efforts to compete for the world with him, so how can he not be entrapped?

As for the remaining glass, Li Shimin also asked people to form a caravan and sell it to various surrounding forces.

After all, glass at this time is not only a rare item in Datang, but also a rare item in other cities.

And this not only allowed the Tang Dynasty to recover its roots after attacking Goguryeo, but also weakened the strength of the surrounding forces.

After Cheng Yanjin got the glass, he was very surprised when he looked at the glittering glass.

Although he had seen all kinds of glass before, it was not as transparent as this glass.

If it hadn't been for the canopy telling him that the glass was made of sand, he would never have imagined that there were so many raw materials for this glass.

In his subconscious, the glass is always a valuable item, and its raw materials should also be extremely rare.

And this glass is 100 times stronger than the glass, and its raw materials should be even rarer.

It wasn't until the video of making glass was broadcast on the canopy that he shattered his thoughts and made him realize again that glass was actually refined from sand or quartz.

And according to various elements, different colors of glass can be refined.

Song dynasty.

Zhao Zhen is also rewarding his courtiers with the glass items refined by the craftsmen, after all, these courtiers are all scholars, how can they lack the four treasures of the study made of glass?

Some of the courtiers were amazed when they received the Four Treasures of the Study, after all, they had never seen such pure glass.

In their eyes, this is simply a work of art, and some officials have even begun to write words for these glass products to praise these things.

Zhao Zhen looked at the reactions of the courtiers, and he was also very happy in his heart.

After all, the raw materials for making this glass are very cheap, but the finished product is so popular? The selling price is certainly not low.

If he made this kind of thing in large quantities and sold it to the Liao Kingdom and other surrounding forces, he would definitely be able to make a lot of money.

And not only the imperial court can do this, but also the common people and businessmen.

In this way, the imperial court was able to get a large amount of taxes, and Zhao Zhen also saw the hope of solving the problem of redundancy.

Sure enough, just as he thought, just as he asked the people to make glass, those folk merchants and people also made it.

And they don't just sell it domestically, but they also sell it to the surrounding forces.

Even powerful businessmen sold these things overseas.

They made a lot of money and also brought a lot of taxes to the Great Song Dynasty.

The result of this is to make the Great Song Dynasty more and more prosperous, and the court of the Great Song Dynasty will become more and more wealthy to form a new army, so that the country will become stronger and stronger.

This made Zhao Zhen even more confident that he would definitely be able to recover the 16 states of Yanyun in his lifetime.

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the manufacturing method of glass and glass on the canopy, and he was also very surprised!

Although he is an emperor, he is not omniscient.

For example, he didn't know how to make the glass on the canopy.

And in his time, whether it is glass or glass, it is also extremely valuable.

And now the video on the canopy also made Zhu Yuanzhang realize that he can also make a large number of people.

And this thing, whether it is Daming at home or overseas, is extremely precious.

And since the appearance of the canopy, he Ming has implemented reforms, whether it is sending troops overseas to find new continents, or letting those vassal kings go overseas to serve vassals, it requires a lot of money.

And now the method of making glass introduced on the canopy is simply to bring wealth to the Ming Dynasty, and it can also allow the Ming to have enough money to move the vassal king and find the new world.

Subsequently, there were many workshops for making glass in various places in the Ming Dynasty, and after the glass was made, it was sold to all over the world through merchants.

A large amount of silver began to flow into the Ming Dynasty with the sale of merchants, which can be regarded as solving the phenomenon of the Daimyo's current shortage of money.

There were even some merchants, who carried glass balls made of glass and ran to the South Seas and beyond, in exchange for a large amount of money.

After this opportunity to make huge profits was known to other merchants and the common people, they went crazy.

He also carried glass balls around the world for exchange, and brought a large amount of materials into Daming.

With the inflow of a large amount of money and materials into the Ming Dynasty, the commerce of the Ming Dynasty gradually prospered, and countless people became richer and richer.
