The valley is very large, and Li Yuanjia gave it all to the glass workshop.

This decision seems to many to be a waste.

Glass is indeed very good, and anyone with a discerning eye can see its huge value, but on the other hand, everyone basically treats it as a top-notch luxury product. It means that it is very expensive, but it is difficult to popularize it.

, so the annual demand is not estimated to be large, and there is no need to dedicate such a large area for it.

At least Han Cheng felt that the small workshop in Zhuangzi was enough.

At least more than a hundred pieces of glass can be made in a month. This number may not be enough at the beginning. After all, the emperor, the prince and Duke Zhao only want hundreds of pieces, but after this period of time passes, it will naturally

There won't be so much demand.

But this proposal was rejected by the king without hesitation.

That's why there is this huge valley, and there are workshops, residences, so-called sewers, public toilets, a canteen and a bathhouse that are almost covered in the valley!

Han Shan had seen sewers, toilets, trash cans, etc. in Luzhou City, so he was not surprised. The canteen was also understandable. After all, the craftsmen were so busy that they really didn’t have time to cook by themselves, but they spent hundreds of

The purpose is to allow craftsmen to take a hot bath in winter...

God, what is all this!

It's a pity that no matter how Han Shan gave his opinions, Li Yuanjia never paid attention to him, but forcefully ordered that everything must be built according to the plan.

To put it bluntly, Li Yuanjia plans to build this valley into an "industrial zone" integrating production and life!

Even though the current factory area is not large, the built houses are only enough to house a few dozen people, and even the foundations for the canteen and bathhouse he requested have just begun. But from the day glass appeared, it has already been

It is destined that this valley will be filled with buildings and heads in the future!

No one is more certain about this than Li Yuanjia.

Datang's consumption power will never be as low as Han Shan thought.

He may have come from the time when the Tang Dynasty was just founded, so he was used to the days when the big shots in the court had to live frugally, but Li Yuanjia knew that in the last few years of Li Shimin's tenure as emperor, he was already able to be extravagant. And

The dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty had accumulated enough wealth thirty years after the founding of the country. For example, Li Yuanjia's brother Li Xiaogong was a good example.

Of course, there are also some so-called top nobles, such as Wei Zheng...

Haha, it’s not that Li Yuanjia looks down on them, it’s just that their wealth is there and it’s impossible to afford it! If you don’t have tens of thousands of dollars in savings, how dare you use such top-notch luxury goods that can be broken at a touch?

You must know that the houses these days are nothing but big. Especially the houses where the big guys live, many of which were given by the emperor. I wish one bedroom could be as big as the two or three bedrooms and one living room in the future. How much glass should be installed?

enough?

So even if you save a little, decorating a study and bedroom, plus a hall for guests, it is estimated that the investment will be at least one to two thousand dollars!

But the price of one hundred guan a piece cannot be maintained forever.

Li Yuanjing's love is very clear. Although a hundred pieces of glass is so expensive now that he has no friends, except for the emperor, Liang Guogong, his uncle Yu Wenshi and other people who don't need to spend money, I'm afraid there are only the prince, the king of Wei and the eldest grandson Wu.

Only top nobles like Ji can afford it, but if we wait a few more years for the process to be further improved, and at the same time the production scale will be expanded little by little, and the cost of various raw materials will continue to decrease, the cost of glass production will come down sooner or later.

He didn't dare to say that it would definitely drop to a hundred dollars or even dozens of dollars a piece, but Li Yuanjia was still very confident that a piece of glass would be under the usual dollar level.

Therefore, the price of glass will drop sooner or later, but the process will definitely be very long.

Because in addition to the Tang Dynasty, there are many countries in the world that have exchanges with the Tang Dynasty, such as Turks and Tuyuhun, Japan, Xueyantuo, Baekje, Goguryeo, Dashi, Tubo, etc. They also have countless powerful people in their countries

Rich people are also potential customers of glass.

Li Yuanjia will not allow the price to be reduced until he has made enough money from them.

Anyway, this thing is not a necessity, it is purely a luxury product for the rich. Even if ordinary people cannot afford it, it is nothing...

…

After being led around by Han Shan, Li Yuanjia was quite satisfied with their work in the past few months.

The built area is not large, because even now including the quasi-artisans who are undergoing "training", as well as the handymen responsible for taking care of their lives and the guards who protect the valley, the number of people in the glass workshop is less than seventy.

Too much is a waste. So now we just built a larger factory, twenty houses, and a temporary simple canteen.

As for the bathhouse, it should be completed before winter.

"In short, the place where people live and the place where they work must be separated!"

When he finally settled next to the river, Sun Peng glanced at it and said: "If necessary in the future, we can quickly build more houses on both sides. Then everyone will go to the workshop to work every day and come back here.

Rest on the side... This way the person resting will not be affected by the sound from here."

When he said this, Li Yuanjia's face darkened, and he said seriously: "There are also those bathrooms and trash cans, hurry up and get them out! Remember, in the future, if anyone defecates in the open and does not go to the bathroom, I will be beaten every time he is found.

!There are also people who litter everywhere. I will be fined ten big bucks every time I see them!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The corner of his mouth twitched hard, and Han Shan nodded helplessly.

Well, he's given up.

From the time he was in Luzhou until now, he still can't figure out what the use of these things is. The valley is so big, and the area used now is so small, so those guys can find a convenient place at will.

What does it matter? Why go to all the trouble to build bathrooms? And how many more must be built in the workshop and how many in the living area?

There were also those trash cans. The king asked him to prepare fifty of them first, so almost everyone had one!

Han Shan disapproved. Of course Li Yuanjia didn’t know, and even if he knew, he wouldn’t take it to heart, because only he knew what the consequences of poor sanitary conditions would be when there were more people in the valley in the future! So it’s not just about building public toilets

, prepare a sufficient number of trash cans, provide craftsmen with hot water bathing opportunities, and most importantly, a complete sewer system and a hardened pavement system made of cement!
Chapter completed!
