Chapter 199 Glassware

Zhang Xueshi looked at Wei Renshi and said, "Now the eunuch party is rampant, and most of the five prisons are eunuch party members. However, if anyone in the court wants to seize power from the eunuch party, he will also stare at it. If he serves in the five prisons in the future, he will inevitably fall into a fight between the two sides. It is so painful that he is stuck in the middle."

Wei Renshi was stunned and asked again: "Which of the Five Prisons is now more powerful?"

"Of course it's a eunuch party." Zhang Xueshi said: "So I advise you not to accept the actual position given by Your Majesty. Otherwise, if you are caught in it in the future, you will inevitably be implicated."

"I understand, thank you Mr. Zhang." Wei Renshi nodded and bowed and thanked him.

However, Xue Shi Zhang didn't know that Wei Renshi had accepted the secret order of Li Shi to help him make money. If he had placed himself in the fifth prison, he would probably not be able to make money for him easily.

In addition, Li Shi also intends to ask Wei Renshi to take charge of the repair of the river embankment and market, so he should not be allowed to serve in the fifth prison.

"However, the student thinks that Your Majesty may not arrange actual positions with me in the fifth magistrate." Wei Renshi said: "Your Majesty intends to ask me to take charge of repairing the river embankment market. Your Majesty is preparing to call on merchants to invest in the repair of the river embankment market. After the repair, the royal family occupies 30% of the market, and the remaining ones are occupied by the invested merchants according to the amount of their investment. In this way, the court can save money for repairing the river embankment, and can also be used for business or renting for money. Your Majesty is very concerned about this matter, so Your Majesty should not place me in the fifth magistrate."

"Oh? And such things?" Zhang Xueshen was a little surprised, but then said: "It seems that most of them are in the Water Supervision Bureau. In short, you'd better be prepared in advance and think of a reason. When Your Majesty is ready to work with you, if you are really within the Five Supervision Bureau, you can push it away."

Wei Renshi nodded.

It is really possible to have Dushuiguan.

It may also be the supervisor, after all, there is still cement there.

If there is an industry that is more profitable than a river bank and street market, and needs to take them to manage it yourself, you will not put yourself in Dushui Supervisor.

Whether it is the water magistrate or the prisoner, most of the people in it have defected to the eunuch party.

Once you enter it, it will be inconvenient.

If he follows the trend and surrenders to the eunuch party, he will definitely be implicated in the future. Now the leader of the eunuch party is Ju Wenzhen, but after Li Chun ascended the throne, he actually did not like this eunuch. It was because of his power that he had been patient and finally found an opportunity to eliminate Ju Wenzhen's power.

But it was many years later when Li Chun removed Ju Wenzhen's power. Before that, if he did not surrender to the eunuch party, he would probably become an alien among the five prisoners and be targeted.

So it is better not to enter the fifth ward.

However, it seems that such things cannot be refused until the emperor's will come down. It is best to influence and change his resolutions before the emperor's will.

Wei Renshi thought about it all the way, and after returning home, he took out a wooden box from the study.

Open the wooden box and there is a set of exquisite and transparent glassware. Wei Renshi had seen glassware at Hu Shang in Luoyang before. The quality is far less than that of the wooden box, but it is worth thousands of stagnant. This set of wooden box is probably much more expensive.

The next morning, Wei Renshi took the wooden box and took a leave at Chongwen Hall, and then went straight to Li Chun's residence.

After arriving there, Wei Renshi was able to go in and meet Li Chun.

"Renshi, what's the matter with you coming here early in the morning?" Since the cement was made, Li Chun's attitude towards Wei Renshi has improved.

Wei Renshi took out the wooden box and handed it to Li Chun, saying, "Prince Chun, please look at the things inside."

Li Chun took the wooden box, opened it, opened it, and said, "Wow! The best glassware!"

"Prince Chun feels, how much is this set of glassware worth?" Wei Renshi asked.

Li Chun looked around and said, "Glassware has always been very expensive, and it is rare to see such transparent ones. Even if I don't have a few sets in my hand, I still have the reward I received earlier. If it were on the market outside, this set would probably cost at least 5,000 jin!"

Even though he was mentally prepared, Wei Renshi was still shocked.

The magistrate of Fuchang County was able to bring out such a valuable thing!

Wei Renshi paused and asked again: "This kind of transparent glassware can only be bought from Hu Shang, right?"

Li Chun nodded: "Yes, this kind of glassware can only be produced by Persia. However, since Persia was destroyed by the Great Food Kingdom, only Da Food can be produced. Then Hu merchants brought it to Chang'an for sale. Often the price is extremely high and they can't be grabbed."

"If I say I can try to make this thing, and the quality after it is made is similar, but the cost is only a hundred steadily, or even dozens of steadily?" Wei Renshi said: "Then we will lower the price a little, and let the Hu merchants take it to the Western Regions and Dashi and sell it to them in turn, and make the money they earned from the Tang Dynasty."

"What?" Li Chun was puzzled for a moment.

Wei Renshi pointed to the set of glassware and said, "I said, although this thing is not easy to make, I know what the raw materials are and how to make them. You can make them by trying more. The quality is not much different from this, but the cost is much smaller than this. Then I will take it out for sale and you should make a lot of money!"

"What!" Li Chun understood now and stood up.

Whether it is glass or glass, the raw materials are silica, so it is easy to find, just sand!

The silica content in the river sand is large. After high temperature heating, the glass liquid is formed, and then the glass liquid is formed by blowing, pressing, drawing and other manual forming techniques.

After forming, it cannot be cooled directly at this time, otherwise it will burst after cooling. Instead, it must be annealed, that is, maintain a temperature level for insulation and gradually cool down.

The farm is about to be completed. After completion, there will be a ready-made kiln. Once the honeycomb coal factory is built, there will be ready-made coal in it.

The river sand is easier to dig, so try it a few more times. If the glass is successfully made, with the transparency of the glass, the handicrafts made of glass look more eye-catching. Wouldn't it be better to sell it?

The raw materials are easy to find, and the cost is not high, but the things made are so expensive, so the profits are...

"This... how to do this?!" If you can buy something that costs tens of cents and get rushed to buy it, how can Li Chun not understand the profits in it?

Therefore, he was very excited, took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and asked, "Since Brother Renshi comes to find me, do you need me to do something? Even if you say it!"

Is this the "Brother Renshi" again?
