Chapter 145: The Flawless Glass Is Released In Batches, Looking For The Enemy [Please Subscribe, Ple

Under the high temperature of the pool kiln, the raw materials poured in previously quickly formed a clear and transparent glass liquid in the kiln.

After seeing this scene, Yan Changqing nodded, with a faint smile on his lips.

At this point, the firing of the glass can be said to be completed for him.

All that is left is to blow glass of various shapes. In this aspect, the skills of the craftsmen sent by Zhu Yuanzhang for generations to be responsible for firing colored glaze are much better than Yan Changqing.

The moment they saw the clear glass liquid appear, the eyes of the glassmakers on the left and right widened to the extreme.

They have been responsible for refining colored glaze for generations, and it can be said that no one is more familiar with the refining process of colored glaze than them.

But their ancestors have been refining the colored glaze for who knows how long, and they have never seen such clear colored glaze liquid appear until now!!!

The reason why colored glaze has always been opaque and colorful since ancient times is because the fired glaze liquid itself is turbid and opaque.

Naturally fired glazed products are also opaque and more variegated.

And now, what did they see?!!

They saw the liquid that was almost completely clear, no, it was completely clear!!!

At a glance, they could see the bottom of the kiln through the clear glass liquid.

what does that mean?!!

This means that all the glaze from their kiln will be Top Grade colored glaze!!!

"Big, big, big...how did you do that?!!"

Seeing the clear glass liquid from the kiln, the oldest one among the people in the glass house.

The old craftsman, who was also vaguely the head of the group of glaze craftsmen, looked at Yan Changqing and was almost so shocked that he couldn't even speak a complete sentence.

Originally, when they, the craftsmen who made colored glaze, changed the use of river sand and limestone to make colored glaze according to Yan Changqing's request, they didn't say anything openly about it.

But everyone complained secretly in their hearts that Yan Changqing didn't know how to pretend to understand, and he couldn't pretend to know how to do it. A layman would give advice to an expert.

After all, they have been firing colored glaze for so many years, and they all know the specific raw materials needed to make colored glaze.

Such as river sand and limestone, in the past history of glaze firing, they have never been included in the raw materials for firing glaze.

However, although Yan Changqing did not say it clearly, he obviously had an extremely noble status.

Therefore, they did not dare to refuse Yan Changqing's order and could only follow it.

But they were also mentally prepared for Yan Changqing to tactfully tell Yan Changqing the correct method of firing colored glaze after he failed.

As a result, the first batch of defective glass fired simply from river sand and limestone was enough to shock them.

Now the second furnace has added a series of auxiliary raw materials such as dolomite, mirabilite, coal powder, calcite, feldspar, and fluorite.

The fired glaze liquid is perfect and top grade, which simply breaks their three views on how to make colored glaze for generations.

"How did you do it? Didn't you see it with your own eyes?!!"

Yan Changqing smiled lightly.

"The raw materials and processes used in the refining of colored glaze will all be carried out in the same way as before."

“First, use simple river sand and limestone to refine a batch of defective colored glaze, and then use these defective colored glaze and other raw materials to refine a second batch of flawless colored glaze.

"Then the remaining glass is blown according to the shape requirements I mentioned before."

"In addition, all the craftsmen who participated in the glass refining today will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver each. Those who perform well in the future will also be rewarded every month!"

Yan Changqing's last words were to reward Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes with 100,000 taels of silver, and then reward them with 30,000 taels, leaving only 20,000 taels. .

Hearing Yan Changqing's words of reward, all the glaze craftsmen immediately knelt down and thanked them excitedly, regardless of the ground covered with gravel.

"Thank you sir for the reward!!!"

As glaze firing workers of the royal family, although they eat royal food, it is also "dead food".

It is their duty to make the colored glaze well. If the glaze is not made well, their lives may be at stake.

As for rewards, unless they can produce Top Grade flawless glaze using the previous glaze firing method, they don't have to think about rewards.

And even if there are really rewards from nobles, they are very few. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang is well known for being stingy not only with himself, but also with others.

But in front of me, he was just sent here to bake two furnaces of colored glaze, and he was immediately rewarded with five hundred taels.

And I heard from the handsome man in front of me that those who perform well every month will be rewarded!!!

At this moment, all the glaze craftsmen who had been dispatched didn't really want to go back. After all, they had to work hard for a year without earning thirty or fifty taels.

Now when this unknown handsome nobleman was happy, he directly rewarded them with an income equivalent to ten or twenty years.

They voted with their feet and knew how to choose. Of course they worked hard for this handsome gentleman!!!

Yan Changqing nodded, and then walked out of the glass kiln. The temperature inside was really high. Yan Changqing could only stand for a few quarters of an hour before he was already soaked to the skin.

“Sir, is that how Top Grade glaze is fired?!!”

Following Yan Changqing, Jin Yiwei Qianhu Lu Wenzhao, who was responsible for personal protection of Yan Changqing, couldn't help but look at Yan Changqing and asked.

Just now, they were beside Yan Changqing and saw with their own eyes the firing process of Top Grade colored glaze. Even the raw materials required for firing were clearly exposed in front of them.

Hearing Lu Wenzhao's words, Jin Yiwei Qianhu Pei Lun, who was on the other side of Yan Changqing, couldn't help but pricked up his ears and looked at Yan Changqing with curiosity.

Yan Changqing glanced at Lu Wenzhao and Pei Lun who were following him on his left and right.

Previously, Mao Xiang assigned him a Jinyiwei Commander Tongzhi and five Jinyiwei Qianhu to do his bidding.

Among them, the commanding officer Jiang Wei is responsible for the daily overall management of all Jinyiwei.

--------...

As for Lu Jianxing, Jin Yichuan, and Shen Lian, three Jin Yiwei Qianhu, he was assigned to be responsible for guarding the potato planting in three shifts day and night.

The remaining Lu Wenzhao and Pei Lun were responsible for following him to protect him, or to monitor him.

"Yes, that is the firing method of Top Grade glaze. If you like it, after the final product is released, each of you five thousand households can choose three, and Jiang Yu can also choose five.

"Just say what I said."

"You can keep the selected colored glaze for your own use, or you can take it out for sale, it's up to you."

"But if you want to sell it for money, it's best to pawn it within this half month, otherwise it won't be valuable after half a month."

Having said this, Yan Changqing glanced at Lu Wenzhao and Pei Lun, who were looking excited, and half reminded and half warned:

"If you like Liuli and want money, you can tell me clearly. I won't be stingy in this regard."

"Without merit, just looking at hard work, I can give you hundreds or thousands of taels of silver."

..0

"If there is merit, a thousand taels or ten thousand taels of silver will not be a big deal."

"However, if the refining method of Top Grade Glaze is revealed, or if it is fired secretly by oneself, then don't blame me for not reminding you."

"The person behind this glass business is not me, but His Majesty."

"Everyone who has seen the Top Grade glaze firing method is registered."

"Once similar Top Grade glaze appears outside, we want to investigate who betrayed and revealed the firing method of Top Grade glaze."

"I think you Jin Yiwei should know very well whether this kind of thing is difficult or not."

Lu Wenzhao and Pei Lun immediately turned their faces into confusion, put their hands together and said seriously:

"The villain understands that he will not let the firing method of Top Grade colored glaze leak out.

Yan Changqing nodded, walked forward, and said casually:

"Another five hundred Jinyi Guards will be assigned to protect the Liulicongfang area day and night. All glaze craftsmen are not allowed to leave the Agricultural College without permission from the commander."

Although the raw materials for firing colored glaze are all purchased from the Imperial Household, and the craftsmen who bake the colored glaze are also royal craftsmen, confidentiality is guaranteed to a certain extent.

But Yan Changqing is still accustomed to taking extra confidentiality measures. After all, whether his agricultural college can be successfully built depends on the first pot of gold, glass.

"Yes, sir!"

Lu Wenzhao immediately responded and prepared to make arrangements.

"Sir, where are we going now?!!"

Pei Lun looked at Yan Changqing who was walking outside the Agricultural College and asked. He needed to arrange in advance for the Jin Yiwei to protect him secretly at any time according to where Yan Changqing went.

"Go find the enemy."

Yan Changqing looked at Yingtianfu Zhongcheng in the distance, where wealthy families from all over the dynasty lived, and said with a faint smile on his lips.
