Chapter 141 How to make glass?

"shortcoming?"

Wang Jian's expression changed suddenly upon hearing this, and he asked immediately.

"Young Master Nineteen, what are the shortcomings of this compass?"

"The disadvantage is that this thing, if it encounters a magnet, if it encounters a place where magnetite is buried underground, it will fail!"

Ying Changsheng explained.

This problem with the compass.

is unsolvable.

It can't be solved now, and it won't be solved in the future.

Hearing this, Wang Jian chuckled and said.

"Young Master Nineteen, what kind of problem is this? How many places in the world have magnetic mines?"

"Yes!"

Ying Zheng nodded.

It makes sense.

"In my opinion, in the future, even a village chief in our Daqin army should have this compass. Anyway, this thing doesn't seem to be very valuable!"

"Father is wise!"

Ying Changsheng gave a compliment.

Compass?

This thing is really not very valuable, and it's really not a problem to have one...

……

Wu Zhiluo was a big businessman in Daqin.

It is often out of Daqin, and then to do trade.

However, in these years, Wu Zhiluo no longer went outside the Great Wall to do business with the people on the grassland.

The reason is not that he doesn't love money anymore.

but because.

Brother Zheng restrained him.

Brother Zheng has always been very afraid of these powerful businessmen or local tyrants.

They are also very strictly guarded.

Therefore, Wuzhiluo was after the Great Qin unified the world.

Then he was moved to live near Xianyang.

As for his business network?
Well, he will be responsible for this thing.

As for him, he is only in charge of commanding remotely in Xianyang.

At this moment, Wu Zhiluo is no longer young.

He is at home teaching his grandson how to do business.

Suddenly, a servant outside came to report.

Said yes, after the nineteenth son invited me.

Wu Shiluo heard the words.

Don't dare to be slighted.

Because, on the land of the Great Qin Empire.

After all, it emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business.

Commerce belongs to the end of the four industries.

Belongs to the humble existence.

Although Brother Zheng gave him the title of king.

However, the Great Qin Empire killed not one or two lords.

Bai Qi is one, and so is Shang Yang.

There is no shortage of him, Wushi Luo.

in the eyes of those in power.

What is a businessman?
Businessmen are nothing more than a group of fat pigs being fed.

If you want to kill, you can kill it at any time.

So, after receiving Ying Changsheng's order, Wu Zhiluo directly got into the carriage and hurried to the palace.

And at the same time.

Xianyang Palace.

Ying Changsheng was giving instructions to the craftsmen in front of him.

as he said.

Make a compass.

It's not difficult to make this stuff.

Quite simple.

It can be said that as long as you know the principle.

That's it, it was successfully produced.

At this moment, after instructing the craftsmen on the principle, the latter instantly understood. Then, in front of Ying Changsheng and Brother Zheng, he first skillfully made a wooden shell, and then installed the magnet inside.

Then, a compass was successfully made.

There are also engraved characters on it.

The four directions of north, south, east and west are written.

Moreover, after trying it, the effect is not bad.

The only thing that has some flaws is that.

The surface of this compass.

is empty!
There is no layer, glass protective cover.

Not to mention easy to get into sundries.

Also easily damaged.

Looking at Ying Changsheng, he kept frowning.

Brother Zheng, on the other hand, couldn't put it down, he asked the craftsman.

"Can this thing be produced on a large scale?"

"Of course it is possible!"

The craftsman quickly replied.

"The production of this thing is nothing more than consuming some manpower and adding some magnets. This thing is worthless. Your Majesty can make tens of thousands of them on a large scale..."

"Besides, the villain thinks that this thing is really good. It can tell the difference between east, west and north. It is simply a magic weapon. I heard that the Yellow Emperor invented the compass, but the villain has never seen that thing. Now Your Majesty has this compass." , this thing, the villain actually saw it..."

"Yes, my son, the Yellow Emperor with comparable achievements!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded slightly, thinking that what the craftsman said was quite reasonable, and he liked it quite a bit, he said.

"If you make a compass, I will reward you a lot, and I will reward you with two pennies!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!"

The craftsman was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed to Ying Zheng and said.

You know, Qin Banliang is very valuable.

Two strings of money is enough for a craftsman to spend a long time.

But at this time, Ying Changsheng looked at the shell of the compass and murmured.

"If there is a glass cover, it will be fine!"

"Glass? What is this?"

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Changsheng in surprise.

Well, Ying Zheng doesn’t know what glass is.

the reason is simple.

This thing has not yet been born.

In fact, until modern times, there was no glass industry in China, and there was only a product similar to glass, colored glaze.

However, when Liuli appeared in Huaxia.

Also relatively late.

Liuli appeared in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty!

There is another legend too!

It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that it gradually rose.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this was produced on a large scale.

Moreover, Liuli is quite valuable after the birth of Huaxia.

Belonging to "rare species", it is more valuable than jade.

Don't you see, it's in Journey to the West.

The Drifting Monk is a great rolling shutter, what happened?
Just smashing a glazed lamp of the Jade Emperor, he was directly demoted to the earth.

It is conceivable that this thing is not something that ordinary people can afford!
As for making glass, Ying Changsheng really didn't know anything about it.

It's not that I'm stupid.

It's because making glass is a highly professional technology.

Moreover, the requirements for the temperature of the fire are extremely high, and Ying Changsheng will be alive for a while, and I really don't know how to do it.

All I saw was that Ying Changshang sighed and Brother Chaozheng said.

"A kind of transparent jade, but it can be artificially refined..."

"Oh? That's a good thing!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng exclaimed.

"Transparent jade? Crystal clear? Isn't it crystal?"

"crystal?"

When Ying Changsheng heard this, his eyes lit up in an instant.

Yes, crystals are fine too!
However, it seems that although crystals are mined in large quantities, the price does not seem to be cheap.

Quite expensive!

Where did he get so many crystals?
Of course, Brother Zheng's words gave Ying Changsheng an inspiration.

Let him be born.

The idea of ​​making something.

Because it is indeed a bit wasteful to use crystals to make glass covers.

But if you use crystal to make that thing.

Then nothing is wasted!

On the contrary, it is just right...
