Chapter 230 The glass is released
Enriched time always passes quickly, and before you know it, the season has reached late spring in March.
The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and I finally bid farewell to the long cold.
The recruitment was finally enough, and a cement gravel road leading from Wei Renshi's fiefdom in Weinan to Chang'an City finally started construction.
Wei Renshi came out of the military camp and just arrived at home. He was about to go to Weinan to check it out at the road construction site. He saw a carriage parked at the gate of his house.
Wei Renshi walked to the carriage and happened to see Jiao Haiqing coming down from above.
"Oh! Isn't this the shopkeeper Jiao?!" Wei Renshi said in surprise.
Jiao Haiqing immediately replied: "General Wei hasn't seen him for many days, and his style is still the same!"
Wei Renshi grinned and said, "You dare not shout, the commander of Zhe Chong is not worthy of being called the general. It was introduced into the censor's ears, and I couldn't bear it. Why did Brother Jiao come in person today?"
Jiao Haiqing smiled and said, "There are two good news. I have to come to tell you personally and ask for a prize."
"Two?" Wei Renshi smiled and said, "Let me guess, has the scorching been successful?"
"If it's just that coking is successful, then the shopkeeper is going to be the one who goes there?" Jiao Haiqing laughed and said, "It's a good steel! Moreover, something has also appeared on the glass kiln."
Wei Renshi was stunned. Is it so good to have a lot of steel?!
This is really great news!
"Brother Jiao, don't fool me." Wei Renshi was a little incredible.
"Look at what this is called? How dare I talk nonsense about this?" Jiao Haiqing said dissatisfied.
Wei Renshi jumped on Jiao Haiqing's carriage: "Go! Go to Weinan!"
Jiao Haiqing was stunned and said, "I haven't eaten yet!"
"Go to Weinan first! Then I will make a table for you!" Wei Renshi said.
Jiao Haiqing got on the carriage and the two went out of Chang'an City.
Walking out of a street, Wei Renshi suddenly said again: "Wait, go to Guangling County Prince's Mansion first!"
"Go there?" Jiao Haiqing asked, "What are you doing there?"
"He occupies as much as I do on glass. On the steelmaking side, he is the nominal leader introduced by the emperor and the prince after discussing it. It is legitimate to call him." Wei Renshi replied.
Jiao Haiqing smiled: "You are really careful. But it is right to be cautious."
After saying that, he said to the servant who was driving the car: "Hurry up!"
The servant outside responded, and the carriage suddenly accelerated a lot and ran towards the Guangling County Prince's Mansion.
When he got there, Wei Renshi met Li Chun and asked directly: "The first batch of finished products came out of the glass kiln today. I am going to see the quality. Should Prince Chun go with him?"
"Has the glass kiln burned something?" Li Chun's eyes lit up: "Speaking of it, I am also one of the shareholders of the glass kiln. Well, since the finished product is produced today, I naturally have to go and inspect it. Let's go together!"
After Li Chun changed into casual clothes and brought the guards, the two of them went out together.
When I arrived at the door, I happened to see Li Daizonger getting off the carriage.
Li Daizong'er also saw the two of them, and saw Li Chun wearing casual clothes, his eyes lit up immediately, and he asked quickly: "Brother, are you going out?"
"Well, something has come out of Renshi'er's glass kiln today. I'm going to go and have a look." Li Chun looked at her and said.
"I'm going too!" Li Daizong'er pestered Li Chun.
It doesn't matter if Li Daizonger saw these two things, so Li Chun took her there too.
Two carriages left Chang'an City together. It was already afternoon and they were whipping up their horses. As for the next moment, they finally rushed back to Weinan and arrived at the kiln of the coal yard.
Several kilns were in full swing, and the old kiln head was constantly shouting and directing the kiln workers. When Wei Renshi passed by, he saw the kiln workers retreating the things in the kiln.
"Has it annealed?" Wei Renshi walked up to ask.
Laoyao Head turned around and found that Wei Renshi had come. He quickly saluted and replied, "When Xiaolang said, the one of them was burned, and one of them was annealed until now, and then he started to take it out. According to Xiaolang's instructions in the middle, the temperature in the kiln was gradually reduced. However, this batch was a test kiln, and it was not blown much, so it was unformed and ugly."
Wei Renshi nodded and hurried over when the kiln worker pulled out of the kiln.
Li Chun and Li Daizong'er also hurried forward.
I saw a few rather transparent crystal pieces being picked out.
"What a glaze!" Li Chun exclaimed, looking at the piles of crystal blocks in front of him: "Transparent! Much brighter than what Hu Shang sells."
He laughed, Wei Renshi turned around and ordered: "Go, come here with boiling water and ice water!"
This was something Wei Renshi had already explained, so Laoyao Toutou immediately ordered the two of them to come over. He found two wooden basins, and put a few pieces of crystals in them. Then he poured them down with a pot of boiling water, soaked for a while, and immediately took them out and threw them into a basin of ice water.
After a while, Wei Renshi immediately smiled.
Not shattered!
It's indeed annealing problem!
The original glass did not undergo the annealing process, and it would be shattered when filled with hot water, and these crystal pieces would be intact and not broken!
"It's OK!" Wei Renshi smiled and said to Laoyao Head, "Very good. You all go to Uncle Shi's place to receive a reward! Laoyao Head is 100 jin, and the others are thirty jin! Let's try blowing next time, don't need to have too complicated shapes, just blow a few cups, and then try it with boiling water and ice water!"
When everyone heard this, they quickly stepped forward to thank the reward.
Li Chun waved and called the old kiln head over, and asked in his eyes: "Master, I ask you, how much does it cost to burn these glass blocks?"
Laoyao head turned to look at Wei Renshi, and Wei Renshi said to him: "Did you hear that? Everyone calls themselves the king. Why don't you come over and salute and answer?! This is a prince!"
Li Chun was speechless, and Li Daizonger was giggling beside him. The old kiln came to his senses and turned pale. He hurried over and said, "This is because this is the first time that the finished product has been produced, so it has been a little more. In addition, several kilns were burned out before and a lot of river sand wasted. In this way, it must be hundreds of stagnants!"
"What?" Although Li Chun had already learned in advance that the cost was not high, he was still shocked when he heard it with his own ears.
The old kiln head was wrong and quickly explained: "Don't calm down! This is just the beginning, as long as I tried it, I will not waste so much in the future since the finished product is released! The old man calculated that when the glass of the kiln came out, all the capital will only take a few dozen stakes, and it will not cost more than a hundred stakes to die!"
"Okay!" Li Chun's eyes turned red: "Award! Everyone in the glass kiln will reward twenty pieces of silk each!"
After saying that, he looked at the glazed pieces on the ground excitedly and asked, "Brother Renshi, I want to take some of this thing away!"
Chapter completed!
