When the silver ingot is put into the furnace and the silver ingot melts, the "glass auxiliary material package" will work at the same time, which looks like the silver. At the same time, Li Mu is using the system's basic function of "exchange" to let
The silver disappears in the furnace, and everything becomes seamless.
The facts were just as Li Mu expected. When Li Shimin saw the silver ingots melting little by little and the glass crystallizing as the silver ingots melted, this magical scene made his eyes pop out.
"Li Mu, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there could be such a magical thing in this world. Silver ingots added with sand and gravel can turn into transparent glass! Isn't this the Midas touch of gold?"
Just as Li Mugang wanted to correct Li Shimin, he suddenly thought about it. Glass was originally more expensive than silver in the Tang Dynasty. The relatively cheap silver turned into relatively precious colored glaze. It was indeed a kind of Midas touch that turned stone into gold. Li Shimin was not wrong.
.
"Your Majesty, I used to think that the theory of turning stone into gold was based on the words of alchemists and was not worthy of belief. But since I have mastered the method of making colored glaze, I have begun to believe it. I am thinking that maybe I thought it was impossible to do this in this world.
In fact, all the things can be done, we just haven’t found the right method.”
"I have to believe it." Li Shimin looked at the liquid glass in the furnace and said, "Is there any way to turn glass into silver ingots?"
Li Mu shook his head and said: "This process is irreversible, but it may be reversible, but I haven't found a way."
Li Shimin frowned and said: "Silver is one of the currencies in circulation. If a large amount is used to make colored glaze, the people may have no money to use. I think we can't make more of this colored glaze."
"Your Majesty has a clear warning." Li Mu said seriously: "I think so too. The Central Plains has been short of gold and silver since ancient times. Most of the gold and silver in circulation today are transferred from Persia and other places. Because of their scarcity, they are of high value. We and the Western Regions
As a result, they have taken a lot of advantage in the trade between various countries. But please rest assured, Your Majesty, the method of making colored glaze is only mastered by me now. I don’t have time to make colored glaze all the time, so even if I want to do more, I can’t get much more.
.”
Li Shimin didn't believe it: "Li Mu, I just saw that you didn't use any special means. Wouldn't it be possible to use the same method if you changed people?"
"Your Majesty, I just said that there are two key points in firing colored glaze. One is silver, and the other is heat. This heat is especially superior to silver. Things like heat are a bit unclear. I can only rely on feeling.
Moreover, practice makes perfect. As long as you find it right once, it will not be difficult in the future. But this time, you don’t know when you will try it out. This is like the so-called talent or understanding, which cannot be taught. At least.
I taught Chang Sun Chong, but he has never succeeded even now."
"Hmm..." Li Shimin looked at Li Mu and saw that his expression didn't look like he was lying, so he stopped asking. He believed it so easily because he was involved in the whole process, and if Li Mu was lying, it would be too easy to expose.
You need to find someone to follow his steps and try it out.
But how did he know that Li Mu's secret method had nothing to do with heat or silver? The focus was on the 'glass auxiliary material package' produced by the system store. Without this thing, if you want to mass-produce glass based on the existing conditions,
It's simply impossible.
Li Shimin followed Li Mu, pouring the glass liquid into the mold, waiting for it to cool down, and then turn into solid glass. Then he watched Li Mu use a glass knife to cut off the burrs and turn it into a whole piece of square glass. Finally, he was able to make glass.
I experienced the whole process again. After this batch of glass was finished, it was getting late, and Li Shimin had to go back to the palace.
Li Mu took the remaining half of the cow leg to Li Shimin and sent it to the mouth of the valley.
"Your Majesty, there are only more than ten days until the first subject of the Spring Festival. I plan to return to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to share your worries after the Spring Festival. Now, Changsun Chong, Xu Ji and the others can handle the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
, I won’t ignore it if there is something I can’t handle. When I get my name on the gold medal list, please don’t forget your promise to me.”
"I remember, if you can really get the top two exams, I will give you the right to deal with it, and there will be extra surprises for you. But I have to remind you that it is not that easy to get the top prize. I have heard the message.
The entire Ministry of Rites, in order to prevent you from passing the imperial examination, has summoned many great scholars to target you specifically."
Li Mu frowned and said: "Your Majesty, how do they target me? Your Majesty, isn't it up to you to decide?"
"The questions for the regular subjects are set by the Ministry of Rites, such as scriptures, calculations, etc. They are the ones who come up with the questions. I only give questions on policy theory and system subjects. Don't take my ideas into account. I can't possibly reveal them to you.
title."
Li Mu thought to himself, this imperial examination he saw in the TV series is very different. But if you think about it, it can be understood. After all, this is the Tang Dynasty, not the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The imperial examination has just been formed, and there are no certain rules. The subjects and methods of the examination are all different.
Still very primitive.
As a person who has gone through the college entrance examination, has a systematic approach, and has a photographic memory of his skills, he really didn't feel afraid. Thinking of this, Li Mu said confidently: "Your Majesty, don't worry, no matter how they make things difficult for me, I will definitely do it."
Let them reap the bitter consequences and get the top spot on the gold list. Everyone took the same test, and the questions were too difficult, and their people couldn't answer them. They are not talented, but they still have confidence that they are a little bit better than their people."
"Oh, are you so confident?"
"Of course I am confident. My opponents are backed by powerful families or nobles, but I am backed by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. His backstage is stronger than theirs. What should I be afraid of!"
Li Shimin laughed loudly and said: "You haven't seen any improvement in your other abilities, but your ability to flatter others is increasing day by day. Okay, I won't bother you these days. Take the test carefully, I won't be biased."
I’ll help you, but if your skills are better than those of the others, I won’t wrong you. You should be the top pick, and I will give it to you.”
"I thank your Majesty."
"Let's go." Li Shimin waved his hand and got on the horse with Eunuch Gao. Li Mu watched him off for a while, then turned and strolled back to the small courtyard. Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien had not returned from the city, and Li Mu was alone, a little lonely.

The rhinos were given to Li Ji by him to serve as "heavy armored cavalry". Bingzhou is close to the Hetao, and there is plenty of pasture, so feeding is not a problem. With these rhinos in front of the two armies, they are definitely a deterrent. No one
It can withstand the violent charge of a herd of rhinos.
The elephant is gone too. He was dragged away by Gongsun Kang to repair the alley. The newly paved bluestone and the newly laid foundation may not be compacted even if trampled by manpower in ten days. But with the elephant, it can be solved by walking back and forth.
Yes. Elephants are also very smart. With a little training, they can be a good helper. One elephant is as good as at least ten people.
