Chapter 29(1/2)

Soetu sent someone to cover the large glass with cloth and transport it in through an open carriage. It needs to be reviewed and inspected when entering the palace.

The official official who was transporting the Liuli official kiln smiled red and said, "This is Liuli, who was so careful to send to His Royal Highness the Prince."

The imperial guard general just lifted a corner of the cloth and was stunned by the huge glass surface inside. The color was transparent and clear, just like the cleanest stream in the world, illuminating the wooden boards that transported glass.

The huge glass is even larger than a round table! The transport carriage cannot hold it, but it is still placed obliquely. In addition, there are other glass "sheets" smaller than this glass, which totals five pieces!

The carriage is clean and the open style can be seen at a glance. After inspection, it is found that there is no problem and it is put into the palace. Soetu is responsible for contacting the manager and finally sending Liuli to Yuqing Palace.

The Imperial Guard whispered: "The glaze that the crown prince used is unheard of. The emperor has never used such a large glaze."

"The precious glass can be sold for hundreds or thousands of taels of silver in a small piece, not to mention the large glass surface that is larger than a round table? That is a lot of craftsmanship, unheard of, and unheard of. Can the official kiln of glass make such large glass? Don't ask those who bought it by other merchants?"

"The Liuli Official Kiln was originally handed over to the Prince of the Crown Prince for fun," the Eight Banners' children were very clear about this. As for the rumors in the palace that the Prince of the Crown Prince was thrifty, everyone just heard it casually and didn't take it to heart. Can they afford to play with such a big Liuli, and they are still frugal?

"I also think that the official kiln of glass cannot be made. Don't really make a decision. To make your high-ranking grandson happy, I'd better report to the emperor to know about this."

On Yinreng's side, he didn't expect that the third grandfather was more capable than he thought, and he actually tested the formula!

[This shows that although Suo'etu cannot manage accounts, he still has some ability in managing craftsmen.] Xiaomei objectively analyzed Suo'etu's mistakes and gave him a comprehensive evaluation.

【Soe map:r】

Yinreng asked curiously: The third grandpa is r, what about Khan Ama?

[Would you still need to ask? The child's father is a great SSR!]

[But the child still can't give up, save him more, after all, that's your grandfather. R sometimes works hard and you can still have the chance to upgrade!] Soetu is a good helper for "main mission: not being an emperor". He doesn't even learn corruption!

On the other hand, the incident of Soetu transporting large glass into Yuqing Palace soon reached Kangxi's ears. The emperor said in surprise: "A glass face larger than a round table?"

Gao Shiqi, the close minister of the emperor and Du Lide, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, all accompanied him here. Gao Shiqi said: "As far as I know, even the hometowns of missionaries from the West cannot create glass larger than bronze mirrors for the time being."

Du Lide also said: "From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of any dynasty or dynasty that can create large glass faces."

Kangxi guessed: "Did you buy it from a high price for extra money? In this Suo'etu, the prince is thrifty, but he actually wants to waste it to please the prince, and he doesn't know what he is satisfied with."

The emperor can say this, but the ministers around the emperor dare not say it. Fortunately, the eunuch Yuzhu, who is beside the prince, came to inform him. His Highness wanted to ask the emperor to move to Yuqing Palace.

Kangxi knew it and said to the two: "It must be for the glass-faced face, you can go with me as well."

Du Lide was the crown prince and tutor of Kangxi. He was once the Grand Secretary of the Baohe Palace. After Wu Sangui rebelled, he helped the emperor deal with military affairs. He was favored by the emperor for two consecutive generations. He served as the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Minister of Rites. He was all in the six ministries.

From becoming a Jinshi in the late Ming Dynasty to becoming a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Du Lide has experienced three dynasties and his official career has been ups and downs. What hasn't you seen before? The old man is in his sixties. This time he came to look for Kangxi to pray for a rest. He claimed that he was already in his prime and it was time to go home to take care of his grandchildren.

Today, Du Lide said that he had never seen the glaze that was as big as the round table. Kangxi thought about it and called Du Lide and Gao Shiqi.

They arrived at Yuqing Palace and as soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard the little prince say in a crisp voice: "Put the stones on it and see how much pressure can it withstand?"

Kangxi's heart was thrilled. When the eunuchs brought various sizes under Yinreng's command, Yinreng asked the eunuchs to weigh the weight of the stones and then piled them on the glass bit by bit. The glass as big as a round table was square, with support on all sides. As the weight of the stones was superimposed, the glass had unbearable fragmentation.

Du Lied was shocked.

Just...it's just broken?

Kangxi hurriedly called and stopped, and walked forward with the people. He saw four pieces of glass piled up on the carriage. Things worth a thousand gold were thrown aside as garbage, which was really a waste of resources!

The other four pieces of glass were much larger than the common ones, and Kangxi immediately felt a pain.

"Baocheng, what are you doing? Are you planning to break the other four pieces?"

Yinreng did have this plan. He said happily: "Khan Ama, the official kiln of Glass has developed a way to make large amounts of large glass. In the future, it can save more and make more glass, and give..." to Khan Ama to earn private money.

He was about to say this, but when he saw Kangxi bringing two imperial officials, one of whom was familiar Gao Shiqi, and the other was wearing the same official robe as the third grandfather's previous official robe. Yinreng knew that it was an official robe that only a Grand Secretary in the Cabinet could wear.

So Yinreng changed his tone: "Give good to the Qing officials and the people!"

"Is this made in the official kiln of Liuli?!" Kangxi said in surprise: "Since it was made, why do you want to break them?"

"I want to try how heavy and beat them can be, so that they can improve and improve them. Fortunately, I will give Khan Ama a surprise during the New Year." Yinreng smiled and said, "But Rong Ruo said that someone told Khan Ama in advance! It would be better to read Khan Ama earlier so that more production can be put into the Glazed Official Kiln as soon as possible."

The Guangchu Department's treasury silver cannot be allocated to him at will. There is no financial support for the Liuli Official Kiln. The amount of materials consumed is actually decreasing. If more production is to be put into use, there is no need for Kangxi's approval to allocate funds for the Liuli Official Kiln to popularize large-scale large-scale glass.

The transparency of the batch of glasses that appeared in the official kiln of Glazing has reached what Yinreng needs, but it was polished little by little by little by craftsmen, so it cannot achieve the perfect flat and smoothness of flat glass. There can be traces of high and low in the tiny places on it, so that the stress is uneven and it is easier to be broken and broken by unbalanced pressure.

Even so, the appearance of large-faced glass is still a shocking thing. Yinreng invested the formula for the official kiln of glass, allowing craftsmen to make the quantity that could only be made in ten days in one day with the smallest possibility of making mistakes, and the materials consumed were nearly seven times less than before!

The little prince was not clear enough, but Soetu prepared all the things needed by the Holy Holy Ho. He had already written the notes about the status quo and asked for funding. However, Soetu did not expect that the emperor would bring Du Lide and Gao Shiqi to Yuqing Palace.

Kangxi didn't expect that just one of his doting son's will, the little guy really made the result come true.

"Don't break it first, don't do it first, wait until I see the situation of the official kiln of the glass," Kangxi looked at the four intact large-faced glass, but it hurt so much. Never let such good glass be ruined in vain.

Yinreng withdrew his hand regretfully: "But there are many such piles on the Liuli Official Kiln, so you don't have to worry about these."

He blinked at Soetu, all the three grandfather told him.

Soetu smiled helplessly and handed the note to Kangxi. If he had not seen the production speed of the large-faced glass, he would have cherished the four pieces of glass as much as the emperor. Today he brought four pieces of glass. No matter how many palace gates were, there were still forty pieces in the official kiln of glass!

Yinreng held his head up and was waiting for Khan Ama's praise. It would be better to give him a little red flower to encourage him, so that he can have greater motivation to study the manufacturing formula of glass mirrors.

No one is blind. You can see that the little prince interacts with Soetu in a cunning manner, but under Kangxi's nose, the emperor turned a blind eye to it.

Seeing this, the two emperors and ministers knew something: the day when Soetu was restored is not far away.

Kangxi had read Soetu's memorial, and made a decision under Yinreng's expectation, so he simply took his ministers and went to Liuli Official Kiln to check it out.

Forty sides of large glass are piled up like money. According to the craftsmen, according to the new formula, as long as there are materials, it is no problem to make hundreds of pieces a day.

Du Lide was secretly surprised, and saw Kangxi stretching his eyebrows and looking a little happy. He knew that this time he wanted to leave and live a life of old age had failed again.

An unexpected surprise hit the emperor's head, but Kangxi felt as if he had not woken up in a dream. He asked Yinreng: "Why would Baocheng think of studying and making glass?"

Yinreng took care of Khan Ama's face and was embarrassed to say that he was afraid that Khan Ama could not afford his younger brothers. After all, there were court officials present!

So he gave another excuse: "I am interested in these things. I am not studying them for fun, but I like the 'scientific principles' in them. Don't worry, I will not delay my studies for this."

The little guy said seriously that his academic work was highly praised by the prince's tutors: "If Ahma doesn't believe it, you can take the test of the textbooks that Erchen has learned so far, and he will remember them in his mind!"

Kangxi made him laugh: "It seems you still remember it?"

The little guy was very erotic, and just by looking at the clever and cleverness of the answers, he knew that he was extremely smart. Did he look at Gao Shiqi and Du Lide with curious and naive eyes, especially Du Lide's fairy-like beard. When the old man looked at him, he hid behind Kangxi and came to see him secretly.

Du Lide didn't know why His Royal Highness looked at him secretly, but when he saw the little prince's appearance, he would think of the family who was afraid that he wanted to get close to his grandson again.

Seeing Du Lide subconsciously stretching out his hand to lift his beard, Yinreng looked straight. Du Lide's fairy-like appearance became more and more similar to a character in Yinreng's memory, and even the movements of touching his beard were so charming.

Kangxi had long known that the prince had good academic performance, and he also knew that he loved studying and was full of curiosity about everything.

"I won't test you now. Baocheng is smart and sensible and knows how to share my worries. This time, I made such a huge contribution to the first time I started to master the Liuli Official Kiln. I want to reward you well. What reward do you want?"

How long has the prince been to Liuli Official Kiln? Or will he go there every five days? I think I know that the behind-the-scenes driver of this matter is Soetu!

Kangxi glanced coldly at Soetu, who tried every means to restore his post, only to think that he was too anxious. Look at how obedient Nalan Mingzhu was, and he knocked it down with a stick and no sound.

Yinreng looked at Kangxi, then looked at other court officials, and was in a dilemma.

Seeing him hesitating, Kangxi said with a funny look: "Can't Baocheng think of any reward? I have a word and say nothing. I can follow you whatever you want."

Kangxi still chose to deal with Soetu, who played a key role in this matter, and did not promote him. Instead, he gave Yinreng a choice. I wonder if he would use this to say a few good words to his third grandfather and say good things to him, so that Khan Ama can support his own people?

Yinreng sighed, and Khan Ama really made him embarrassed.

"Khan Ama, I don't have to worry about food and use, nor do I like expensive treasures, so you don't have to spend money."

If he emptyed Khan Ama's wallet, poor Khan Ama would go hungry by himself.

"Then what reward Baocheng wants? Don't want things, people, and promises, that's fine."

Kangxi was hinting at Yinreng that he wanted to see how close Soetu had to the crown prince over the past few days, and see if Yinreng had already begun to pay attention to this right-hand man?

As he guessed the emperor's intention, Soetu sweated nervously on his forehead. He stared at Yinreng anxiously, and happened to meet Yinreng's embarrassing gaze.

Soetu shook his head, stared at Kangxi's cold gaze, and his scalp became numb.

The emperor is very proud of the prince, and he cannot tolerate others getting close to the prince and affect him. At this time, if the prince expresses his hope that the emperor will restore his position, what awaits him will not be promotion, but the emperor's ruthless suppression and neglect.

Yinreng said: "After I went to Liuli Official Kiln, I was so dizzy from the account book over there. Only after seeing how troublesome the management is, I realized that there is so much knowledge to learn and practice. If it weren't for the fact that I asked for the sake of the minister, I might not even be able to manage Liuli Official Kiln."

It would be fine if Khan Ama hired child labor, but he wouldn't have someone to take him to an internship. The third grandfather himself was confused and the burial was messy, so Yinreng didn't expect him.

"If you really want to reward me, why not give me a master who can teach me to manage the Liuli Official Kiln!"

Kangxi smiled: "Do you want a master? All the three court officials present can be your master. They all know how to manage it. Why not choose among the three of them?"

Yinreng glanced at Soetu with a sorry look and said embarrassedly: "I don't know what the adults do, but Khan Ama knows what they do. How can you let Erchen choose it yourself?"

Alas, Grandpa San was in a wrong way to manage the accounts, and there were several mistakes!

After the system reminder, Yinreng learned that there was something wrong with the account book of the Liuli Official Kiln, so he just gave the third grandfather face and didn't say it out!

What is there to say?

The learning is messy, but not thorough, and I don’t even understand it. I’m probably talking about my grandfather! He even calculates the addition and subtraction incorrectly, and the unit conversion can be reduced by zero.

Yinreng shook his head like a little adult: No, no, the third grandfather can't teach orphans, and he can't choose him.

"They are all very powerful. Baocheng is worse than choosing to be kind to you," Kangxi smiled and said, "I think they can all be your masters."

Yinreng could only go to see Gao Shiqi and Du Lide. At that moment, the solemn atmosphere was oppressing everyone's hearts. The emperor frowned tightly and saw that the prince finally chose Du Lide. At that moment, Kangxi relaxed, and Soetu breathed a sigh of relief.

Kangxi laughed happily: "Baocheng has vision and chose my prince's tutor!"

"I drafted an order and promoted Du Lide to the 'Crown Prince' and gave lectures to my prince."
