Qin Zhao squatted in front of the glass vertical kiln and looked at the vertical kiln happily.

Just after returning to Jinghai Fort more than a month ago, Qin Zhao began to build this glass vertical kiln. Now it is time to harvest.

A master who was making glass smelting raised a large iron clip and inserted it into the vertical kiln. He clamped it hard and clamped it out a graphite crucible. Then he put the graphite crucible on the table, poured it gently, and poured out the glass liquid in the crucible.

The red glass liquid flowed into a hemispherical container.

A craftsman went up and inserted an iron pipe into a hemispherical container, lifted the glass hemisphere with the iron pipe, and then began to blow air into the glass liquid with all his strength.

Soon, the glass liquid was blown out of its shape, turning from a hemispherical shape to a spherical hollow appearance.

The glass blower took a breath suddenly, then bulged his cheeks and blew it into the glass ball, and then blew the glass ball thinner and bigger. The glass blower also constantly adjusted the direction of the iron pipe, so that the outer walls of the glass ball at all angles should be kept as thick as possible.

Blow the glass ball to the size of a volleyball, and the glass blower put the glass ball into a semi-spherical iron container. Then a master picked up the big scissors and cut it on the glass ball, and quickly cut off the roundest half of the glass ball. The master placed the glass half ball in the iron container without moving, and it took ten minutes to pour it out.

A spherical glass bowl appeared in front of Qin Zhao.

The glass bowl is slightly red, probably containing some iron elements, but it cannot be seen without careful consideration. According to the level at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that the glass bowl is transparent.

The blood of the European glassware of the same era is only at this level.

Qin Zhao looked at the glass bowl with a smile on his face.

"Master Yang! Beautiful job!"

The craftsman, known as Master Yang, bowed to Qin Zhao and said, "The Master of War is joking. What have we done? This is all made according to the secret door taught by the Master of War. We used to be ordinary craftsmen who burn porcelain. Never thought that one day we could make this crystal clear, colorless and transparent glass."

"These are all amazing secret techniques taught by the Master of War. I, the Ming Dynasty, can create the same glass as the Western Barbarians!"

"Even better than what they made."

Qin Zhao nodded and asked, "The glass made in the previous series is all colorful, why is it crystal clear this time?"

Master Yang Yang Shou replied: "Shoujie, it's not what you said. The quartz sand we chose contains iron, and the feldspar we bought contains iron and copper. These are all dyed things. The Shoujie said that we can't do the color and have no ability, but we still understand the purest raw materials when we go to the market."

"We went to major medicine shops to pick and choose the most crystal clear quartz sand, colorless stones, and high-quality snow-white lime. We chose the best materials for all the materials, and then we opened the furnace to refine them. After refining thousands of crucibles in more than a month, we finally found the best raw materials and refined this crystal clear glass."

Qin Zhao said happily: "You have done a good job and there are prizes. All the helpers and servants in the glass workshop will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. Four porcelain craftsmen will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver. Yang Shou will coordinate the overall situation and will be rewarded with forty taels of silver."

Hearing Qin Zhao's words, the craftsmen were so excited that they smiled. They all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao was given the gift of a craftsman and suddenly his face changed, saying, "I rewarded you with money to make you happy, it's not that you relaxed and kept it secret! I have only told the people in this kiln to refine glass. No one else knows how glass is refined. You must keep this secret."

"If there is someone outside who made colorless glass, just like the glass made by my house, it must be someone who leaked the secret. I dig three feet into the ground and found out which one leaked the secret and cut his head."

"I believe that the people in this kiln are smart people and will not have a good life with a prosperous life, but they can use their own skills to leak the secret method of glass!"

When everyone in the glass kiln heard Qin Zhao's words, they were shocked and sweated.

Who is the Master of War? The juren in the county town killed as soon as they say they were killed, and several of them were killed. The so-called scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and craftsmen were a lowly profession in the Ming Dynasty. If someone in this kiln really reveals the Master of War, it would be really not a problem to kill a few craftsmen.

Everyone cheered up and said loudly: "The Guardian is here! I dare not wait!"

"Is it someone who gives me dragon meat and fairy as my wife, I dare not reveal the secret method of the Guardian!"

"Don't worry, Master Guan, we are all honest craftsmen."

Qin Zhao nodded and smiled and said, "Get up!"

Qin Zhao said a few more words to the craftsmen and walked out of the glass kiln.

Qin Youli had been waiting outside the kiln. When he saw Qin Zhao coming out, he hurried up and asked, "Governor, will we start selling our glass after we make it?"

Qin Zhao nodded and said, "Selling starts. We buy a large shop next to the sofa shop, and put out the signature of Renhou Qin's Glass Store, and sell this glassware with great fanfare."

The old accountant asked carefully: "How much is this glass cup for sale?"

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "How much does the glass cup from Xiyi cost?"

"The Western Yi red cups are sold for about five taels, and the green cups are sold for about eight taels. The more crystal clear the cups are, the more expensive it is. If we can achieve the level of our colorless cups, the Western Yi will sell for about thirty taels a cup."

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "It's really a profitable industry."

"Then I'll sell it at a cheap price! Twenty taels per glass, sold all over the country. Let the Fourth Master sell our glasses to the south and south of the Yangtze River. I sell them cheaper than the Western Yi, and I must grab all the glass business of the Western Yi."

Qin Youli heard Qin Zhao say this and knew that this was a big deal.

I'm afraid it's another big deal for the Guardian after the spring soft chair.

If the Qin family flood truck has the ingredients that benefit the people and the investment return cycle is very long, the glass and soft chair business is purely a quick transaction. Although the raw materials for this glass are the best, they are still very cheap, and ten kilograms of raw materials are not worth two cents of silver. But once they are made into glass, they will immediately be worth a hundred times.

Qin Youli gradually became excited.

He said: "Governor, since Emperor Longwu ascended the throne, the Fourth Master has been in Fuzhou these days and has not come to Guangzhou. However, I told Huang Jin, the shopkeeper under the Fourth Master, to ask him to bring the message to the Fourth Master and send a boat."

Qin Zhao took a breath and said, "Yes, Emperor Longwu ascended the throne in Fuzhou. The Zheng family has made great contributions now, and they are really rising. Zheng Sen is probably so busy in Fuzhou that he will not come to Guangzhou for a short time."

However, as a time traveler, Qin Zhao knew that Zheng Chenggong's father Zheng Zhilong would soon be in the Tartars.
