"The Damoshan Iron Mine is completely open-pit mined and easy to transport. The biggest problem is that the iron content is too high and the hardness is too high, so it has always been difficult to mine. As long as a few large solar furnaces of this kind are made, and the Damoshan is melted little by little, the degree of mining will immediately increase dramatically, and the increase depends entirely on the size and number of solar furnaces. Ren Baqian talked eloquently to everyone.

At this moment, everyone didn't care about studying the mirror, everyone's eyes were on Ren Baqian, and their minds were attracted by what Ren Baqian said.

The lack of iron ore has always plagued Da Yao, and although some iron ore can be purchased from Yun and Chen, the quantity is very small, and those merchants are more keen to transport high-value, bulky and lightweight things, such as salt, furs, precious stones, cloth, and porcelain.

And iron tools have always been very precious, and for ordinary people of the ancient people, having a two-pound fine iron short knife can already be regarded as a treasure that can only be obtained after several years of accumulation.

The empress wants to expand the army by 20,000, and even the weapons have to be prepared, if there is no Ren 8,000, she will have to take some of the treasures stored in the palace treasury over the years to other countries in exchange for weapons.

During this period, it was more difficult for ordinary people to buy iron tools, but this was also a helpless thing, after all, equipping the new army was the most important thing at present.

So just now Ren Baqian used the guard's standard weapon to do an experiment, and the guard was like a dead son, so he almost shouted: The knife is in the person, and the knife is dead. For him, the knife was closer than his son.

Under such circumstances, now Ren Baqian said that he could increase the output of Da Mo Mountain by a hundred times, and everyone had an unbelievable look on their faces.

If that's the case, Ren Baqian has really made a great contribution. Even if he doesn't do anything in the future, this merit alone is enough for him to gain a foothold in the Dayao Dynasty.

If Ren Baqian said before that he could increase the output of Damoshan Iron Mine by a hundred times, they would never believe it, and they were afraid that they would have to question it in front of the empress.

However, he had just shown how to melt a steel knife in the blink of an eye with this disc, and coupled with the characteristics of Da Mo Mountain, although everyone thought his words were too exaggerated, they felt that it was really possible.

"Ren Fucheng, are you serious?" Hubu Shangshu Tong Zhenye, a big man with a beard tied into a braid on his chin, his eyes flashed, staring at Ren Baqian tightly.

"Naturally, but before that can be done, a glass factory needs to be built. Only by building a glass factory can we make enough mirrors to assemble a solar furnace. ”

"What do you mean for the glass factory? As long as you can do it, you can send it to the whole of my department. Tu Wan said in a deep voice.

"The same goes for the household. "Hubu Shangshu Tuwan is a woman who looks a little older than Taifu Siqing Gu Yue, but she is very charming.

At this time, everyone knew the reason why His Majesty had called them.

One is to observe this treasure, and at the same time, it is also to let all parties cooperate in the construction of this glass factory, and on the other hand, I am afraid that it is to ask for the support of various ministries, money, people, these must be needed.

However, in order to eat the big cake drawn by Ren Baqian, let them contribute at this time, and no one will say half a word.

"There is no need to bother you, this glass factory is counted as an industry in the palace, and naturally the palace will draw money to build it. Ren Baqian said for the empress.

"Huh?" everyone was shocked, not knowing what this meant.

Then they all thought about it, such as the royal families of Great Xia, Izumo, and Chen actually have industries, but Dayao is poor and white, whether it is the first emperor or His Majesty, the material requirements are very low, not luxurious, and their minds are not on this, so the royal family has not had any industry.

Ren Baqian raised this at this time, don't think about it, it must be his idea, Your Majesty will not be like this.

"I will also arrange the solar furnace in Damoshan, I don't need you to do anything, but when it is built, you need to call some craftsmen, and at the same time recruit some people with more skillful hands among the ancient people, and you must be skillful. ”

Hearing this, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Tong Zhenye did not have any objections, needless to say that Ren Baqian said that the mining degree of Da Mo Mountain will be increased by a hundred times, even if it is ten times, he needs the strong support of the Ministry of Craft.

Speeding up the degree of exploitation is already the greatest interest of the Ministry of Industry.

Tu Wan frowned slightly, she had more ideas about what such a glass factory could do, but she was relieved when she thought about it. After all, this matter was raised by this Ren Fucheng, and it was also the husband chosen by the empress, and if he wanted to do it through the power of the palace, no one else could say anything.

Because if this is done, this glass factory will be the property of the empress in the future.

Can she still snatch things under the empress?

In this way, everyone has no opinion.

"So be it. Seeing that everyone didn't speak, the empress clapped her head and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty. "Everyone said.

Originally, everyone didn't think that Ren Baqian was anything, but after this incident, they took a look at it a little highly, after all, he could make such a thing, which shows that he is still capable. It's a pity that it's still too weak, and he strangled to death with one hand, and he is not worthy of His Majesty.

"Let's start doing the things of the glass factory tomorrow, Ren Fucheng is in charge, and the other ministries will help. ”

"Yes. ”

Having said that, the matter has been completely decided, and everyone's trip to the palace was not in vain, at least they could see such a magical thing, which opened everyone's eyes.

By the way, they all took the sunglasses away, and these people didn't think about returning it, and nodded to Ren Baqian and left directly with their sunglasses on their heads, for fear that Ren Baqian would ask them for it.

In their hearts, these sunglasses are still a good thing, after all, they don't understand glass or not, this mirror should be made of gemstones, and the workmanship is exquisite, and it is not bad to go back as an heirloom.

Naturally, they wouldn't know that these sunglasses were bought by Ren Baqian for 3o yuan on the street, and if they wanted, they could come back with a sack at any time.

Everyone nodded at Ren Baqian before leaving, which shows that these bigwigs in the DPRK and China have recognized him a little, which is a good thing.

In the evening, he went to the Heart Cultivation Hall to chat with the empress for a while, and talked about the things needed for the construction of this glass factory, although it was simple in the afternoon, in fact there were still a lot of things.

The first is fuel, preferably coal that can be found in this world, or other fuels that can be replaced. If that doesn't work, you have to use charcoal.

The second is the blast furnace, which is needed for both steelmaking and glassmaking.

Since a blast furnace is to be used, cement and brick burning are also needed.

There are also materials needed to make glass: sandstone, soda ash, feldspar, dolomite, limestone, miscanthus and so on.

Most of them need to be searched in Da Yao's territory, of course, this does not need him to look for it himself, just bring back a few pieces from the earth and let Da Yao people look for them in this way.

However, soda ash still needs him to make it.

So even though it's just a glass factory, there's actually a lot to build.

Among them, cement and burnt bricks were prepared to be supplied to the Ministry of Industry, and there was no need for him to hide this technology. Even if it is glass, after a while, he is ready to sell the technology after making the maximum profit.

Among them, cement can be used in all aspects of building cities and roads.

There are also many uses for burning bricks, such as casting blast furnace smelting in the future, and ordinary people building houses without having to polish such a large stone and transport it back to the city.

Moreover, brick houses are much better than wooden buildings in terms of warmth, waterproofing, anti-corrosion, and fire prevention.

The empress naturally has no opinion on these things, she just needs to see the results.
