"Quartz sand, soda ash, limestone, feldspar...how many things are you missing?"
At the edge of the market, Li Min took Xue Rengui and a few guys from the restaurant to purchase a large amount of 'stones'...
These things are related to what he will do next.
That is glass.
Next, he will prepare for a game of using small things to gain big things.
Now there is a huge problem in front of him, that is, how to leverage the greatest benefits at a very small cost?
Regarding horseshoes, if he wants to earn the one hundred thousand taels, he must first produce one hundred thousand sets of horseshoes.
But he doesn’t have any money now, how can he have a baby?
Therefore, he came up with the idea of using this small trick to make a big difference.
As for how to gamble, I already know it.
At this time, a small piece of glass can often achieve a huge response.
And he not only wants to use glass, but also wants to make the reputation of glass spread far and wide.
And industrialize and implement assembly line production.
Of course, all of this requires funds, so it’s back to the horseshoe issue.
The plan for now is to create glass.
After that, there will be a way to do bigger things.
"Mr. Zili..."
Xue Rengui shouted that he did not dare to call him Sixth Prince in front of outsiders for fear of being in danger again.
Li Min is also used to this change of names.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"What do you want these for?"
I can't explain this to him at the moment, so just treat it as a secret.
"This is a secret!"
"A secret?"
Li Min nodded.
As they walked on the road, they received a lot of attention.
Because his reputation has spread far and wide.
So people still know him.
But these people today have different evaluations.
"Isn't that Mr. Zili?"
"Zi Li is Zi Li. He is not a gentleman. Look at him now. What has become of him? Is that what a scholar does?"
Only then did Li Min realize that when he went to choose limestone, he had forgotten to tidy himself up.
It really makes me look unattractive.
Or because I was too anxious.
"What are they doing? They are carrying big and small loads."
"Didn't you see? All they picked were rocks."
"Stones? What do they want to do?"
"Tsk, I don't know. Instead of writing good poems, I would do this unbelievable thing. It's really puzzling."
…
People were gossiping about it, but Li Min didn't care about all this. After all, he was the one who would make money in the future, and they could only watch.
"I asked you guys, what's going on? Will you die if you don't say a few words?"
But Xue Rengui couldn't help it, he didn't want the Sixth Prince to receive sarcastic remarks.
Coupled with his huge size, these people were immediately silenced by him.
People, indeed they bully the weak and fear the strong.
It's not that Li Min doesn't want to talk to them, it's just that there are some things he can't say clearly, so why not say them?
"Xue Rengui, you did a good job."
"It is my blessing, Xue Rengui, to be able to ride the horse for Mr. Zili."
Li Min looked at this young man and thought, he must not treat him badly in the future.
He looked at the sky and saw that it was almost afternoon.
"Let's go. The vertical kiln in Zhushan should be built, right?"
When they went to buy these quartz stones, Li Min drew a picture and asked Zhu Shan to build a vertical kiln!
It should be finished now, right?
"It should be fine, how long has it been?"
"Okay, let's go back quickly."
Then the group of people disappeared on the street.
As they walked away, several figures flashed out.
These people are all highly skilled in martial arts.
"His Majesty said that he wanted to take a closer look at what the Sixth Prince was doing and protect his safety. But he seems to be a little distracted from his duties."
"No, the sand and stones are bought by the load. I really don't know what he wants to do?"
"No matter what, just report it directly to His Majesty. We don't know what he wants to do."
These people dispersed, one of them headed towards the palace, while the others followed Li Min around.
As for Li Min, he returned to the restaurant and began his research.
Follow the instructions in your browser.
He quickly taught it to Xue Rengui and Zhu Shan.
Some iron products were all made by Xue Rengui.
As for Zhu Shan, he became a refining master.
So, a few days passed.
That night.
The backyard of the restaurant is brightly lit.
Zhu Shan raised a large iron clamp and extended it into the vertical kiln.
Then he clamped out a graphite crucible with force.
Then the graphite crucible was placed on the table, and the glass liquid inside was poured out.
The red liquid quickly flowed into a hemispheric container.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Shan picked up an iron pipe, inserted it into the hemispherical container, lifted the glass hemisphere, and then began to blow air into the glass liquid with all his strength.
His movements were very skillful, and in just a moment, he blew the glass ball until the thickness around the wall was even.
After a series of actions, a transparent glass vessel appeared in front of Li Min.
Such a beautiful thing, modern glass is only of this level.
Xue Rengui was also dumbfounded.
He looked at this beautiful object up and down. Although it was not very big, it was very delicate.
Praises kept coming from his mouth.
"Isn't this thing valuable?"
Yes, this thing is very valuable.
Li Min looked at the glassware with a smile on his face.
"Zhu Shan! You did a great job! The crystal-clear, colorless and transparent glass came out."
Zhu Shan put down the iron pipe.
His face was covered in black and gray.
"The Sixth Prince is joking. I made it according to the method you taught me. I didn't expect that this method can produce such a beautiful thing!"
"Hahaha, in the future, we will be very prosperous!"
Li Min said happily.
"Does the Sixth Prince want to promote this thing? As far as I know, this thing is worth at least a thousand taels. It is priceless! It is not something that rich people can buy!"
"I know this, but do you know how much it will cost to open a glass factory?"
"I don't know about this!"
"At least a hundred thousand taels to start with! It will cost a lot of money just to stock up on goods and stuff."
"Ten...one hundred thousand taels..."
When he said this, the two of them were shocked.
It costs so much money just to open a factory, which is really unaffordable.
"Where you are, I won't talk about this in advance! Zhu Shan, I want you to refine nine more of these, can you do it?"
"This is very simple. With this experience, I can do it."
"Okay! After you refine it, find the ten largest blacksmith shop owners in Chang'an City and ask them to come to the restaurant!"
"What do you want to do?"
"Just do it, it will be a good thing anyway!"
Zhu Shan did not ask again, but responded yes.
Then he started blowing glassware.
As for what Li Min wants to do, I'm afraid only he knows.
