Chapter 93: Satisfy Yourself First
"Yes! Your Majesty, look carefully. If you go in, you will enter a very delicate world..."
Li Er obeyed Qin Li's words, stared at the glass, and looked at it for a long time...
"I feel like I see the Tang Dynasty, the spring breeze is 100,000 miles, a new green, full of spring... I saw the old ox and old farmer who were farming in rain and fog; I saw the spring willow oriole, the old mulberry cuckoo; I saw the child laughing, and the kites are everywhere in the sky..."
Qin Li didn't expect that Li Er, who is strong and talented, has this side...
Li Er patted Qin Li on the shoulder: "Huaidao, you have to do something about water and jade, my inner mansion has surrendered..."
??!!
He is an emperor, and his brain circuit is so clear! He was immersed in poetry just now and couldn't extricate himself, but suddenly he talked about money?
Li Er has now learned some of Qin Li's vocabulary and style of behavior, and invests at any time...
"Your Majesty, I am not short of money... I will make good things and offer them to you..."
"I know you don't need money... My inner mansion is short of money..."
"Your Majesty, why don't the factory be built in Lantian, my manor? Do you have the land?"
"How much land do you want?"
"One thousand acres...? Uh?... Of course it's a bit big... 600 acres?... Uh, of course I can't use it all... Or maybe three hundred acres? I can't lose it anymore!"
"Get out! You don't eat dirt, why do you have to do so much land?"
"Your Majesty... two hundred acres can't be missing anymore!"
"Just one hundred acres! You build a workshop in your farm! Go back and add another hundred acres to you on the edge of your land... The farmers on the ground, please see if they are arranged properly!"
"I obey the order..."
Have a tea, and you have to make the tea cup yourself... Alas! Try it... It's just a glass, it's not that difficult...
Generally, sand containing more quartz can be used to burn glass, add some soda ash to it, and limestone is enough... The caravan gets natural sodium carbonate from the alkaline water lake in the grassland. Limestone is an important raw material for burning lime, which is very common...
Soon after getting the raw materials, Qin Li asked the carpenter to create a huge pedal blower and asked the mason to take a big stove...
Qin Li made a fire-resistant mud and made a crucible, and everything was ready...
Because he didn't know the specific ratio of the glass formula, he lost many times and finally made a slightly colored glass...
It seems that if you want to burn glass with extremely high transparency, you should purify the raw materials well...
After repeated experiments and purification, I finally burned out a glass that was almost the same as the one I saw, which was useful...
A month has passed, Qin Li's skin has nowhere to burn, and his face has turned bronze...
In summer, the sun is bright and the manor is full of vitality...
Qin Li was cooking water on the mountain and brewing tea, overlooking the busy crowd in his farm... Through the glass cup containing clear tea soup, he saw this green manor everywhere, and such a large area was all his own... It was so happy to be a landlord!
There is also a child bride with picturesque eyes, who is by your side and serves you...
"Husband! I've locked myself up for so many days just to make this treasure?" Tian Moyan also got a glass cup and held it with tea. Qin Li made the treasure that she had been eating and sleeping all month long. She held it in her hand, for fear that she would break it by accident!
"Don't underestimate it! Your Majesty said that such a pair of cups is worth fifty taels of gold!
For the sake of money, I locked myself up for a month, what is it!
Have you prepared the glass kiln that you are in charge of the construction?"
"So the five-hole kiln you asked to build is a thing that burns? Can this thing be made in large quantities?"
"It's not difficult! It's going to be a big street in the future. I use this thing to make doors and windows, greenhouses, and all kinds of things... Of course, it should be decades later...
Now we can only do it in small quantities, and it’s still very precious! I’m making a lot of money by pointing at this thing!”
"Husband is really capable! Our family has another big investment... According to our husband's ability, our family will soon become rich and will be as rich as the country..."
"You can be rich, but you must not compete with a country! Once you can be rich, you will become a huge fat pig and will definitely be slaughtered..."
The two chatted for a while...
Qin Liu sent someone to report the message, and Yuchi Baoqi is here!
Li Qin had no choice but to go back to the hall to meet the guests.
"What wind blows you? The match factory is so busy that it's too busy?" Qin Li patted Yuchi Baoqi's iron muscles and pulled his steel wire-like beard. This guy is obviously a wild beast, but now he is the general manager of the Datang public-private partnership...
"Take a cart of matches for you! The ones in the mansion have been sent over! Your family is bigger here, so I guess you need more!"
"Is the output so large? Is the market already saturated? Why are such a big cart being pulled and sent to people?"
"The market? Large production? No, no... In the past two or three months, I have finally built matches that I can rub at will. Haven't you sent it?"
"Why should I give it to me first?"
"Your Majesty is a little earlier than you..."
"Don't sell it for now?"
"We always have to satisfy what we use first and then sell it! Now it's easy to use. At the end of this month, I guess I can buy it for a while!"
"If you make a product, you should sell it first and go to the market?"
"No, no, no, we make it ourselves, of course we must use it first, and we must first facilitate our own people so that we can rank others! What's more, Your Majesty is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. We are all the nobles of the Tang Dynasty. If we make good things, how can others use them first?"
The way of thinking is completely different... but it's good! It's all the time when we are in the ancient times of carriage and horse mail. Take your time, take it slowly, and you really don't have to get into Tai Chi. It's a unique business, and your own business has no rivals at all. You can sell whatever you want. What's the hurry!
Qin Li asked Qin Liu to take a box of matches...
To be precise, it's not a box, but a tube!
Papermaking technology is very backward these days. It is actually very difficult to get the matchbox that Qin Li is familiar with. It requires several thick layers of paper... Yuchi Baoqi looks as strong as artificially made, and at first glance he is a person with a developed limbs and a stone mind...
But unexpectedly, this guy is actually very smart and good at adapting...
The match factory did not make a matchbox according to Qin Li's design, but chose to use a bamboo tube of moderate size. After transformation, it turned into a matchbox tube. A long strip was scraped on the wall of the tube and coated with glue mixed with antimony sulfide and tiny sand. After it was dry, I pulled it on it and the match fell...
The small cylindrical cylinder has a wooden plug and a rope that everyone can hang on their body to carry...
At this time, people don’t have pockets on their clothes, small things are put in their sleeves, and large things are made of bags... Therefore, flat boxes seem inconvenient for them to carry...
Qin Li opened the bamboo tube and saw a full brown match head, which was very effective...
I wiped one, and with a sniff, the match was lit... It was really honest. One match burned for more than twenty seconds!
Conscientious businessman! Yuchi Baoqi is a good example!
