Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

When the reduced silver element is attached to the surface of the glass sheet, a glass mirror is half completed.

At this time, the silver substance on the glass mirror is very thin and easy to fall off. In order to prevent the silver coating from falling off, it is necessary to paint it.

Under Zhao Wen's gaze, a silver-white film slowly formed on the surface of the glass piece. The film adhered to the glass piece, shining brightly in the morning sun.

Seeing this, Zhao Wen clapped his hands and said excitedly, "It's done, now it's time to paint."

Liu Wu looked at the silver-white film on the glass lens in shock, unable to speak for a long time.

"Your Excellency is truly worthy of being an immortal in the sky. I have never seen such an immortal technique." Liu Wu stared at Zhao Wen with his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open.

Zhao Wen took out a soft-bristled brush from the wooden barrel next to him, and dipped it in the wooden barrel.

There is some raw lacquer in this wooden barrel.

Holding his breath, Zhao Wen carefully applied the raw lacquer stroke by stroke.

When four or five layers were applied, Zhao Wen put down the brush in his hand and blew gently.

Zhao Wen put the smeared lenses on the stone table in the yard.

The sun gradually rose, and the hot sun shone on the lens.

Zhao Wen rubbed his swollen eyes, and said to Liu Wu, "No one is allowed to approach this lens. Remember, it's anyone."

"Yes!"

Although Liu Wu didn't know why Zhao Wen did this, he still sat on the stone bench next to the stone table according to what Zhao Wen said, staring fixedly at the lenses on the stone table.

Zhao Wen let out a long breath and walked out of the yard.

Just two steps away, Zhao Daniu, Zhao Hu and Wang Qi ran over.

"My lord, the processing has been completed. This time we have selected a total of 250 soldiers from the refugees. Including the soldiers we recruited before, there are a total of [-] recruits." Song Hu held an extremely thick roster, and his face was full of joy. Said.

Zhao Wen took the roster and casually flipped through it twice.

The current Longmen Army is not as poor and empty as it used to be, and Li Xiaoying has to replace even the copying of the roster.

Now in the entire Longmen Fort, there are at least seven or eight accountants who can write and calculate.

Therefore, Li Xiaoying did not need to register the names of recruits.

"Where are the rest? Are they registered?" Zhao Wen asked casually.

Zhao Daniu said: "There are nearly 200 people left. These people are either a little older, too young, or women. There are also some young and strong who do not want to be soldiers. We also register these people up.

We had already finished it at midnight last night, so we wanted to show it to the adults.As a result, I met Miss Li who had just come out of the account room on the way. She said that my lord was busy with work last night, and no one was seen.Let's just show it to the adults this morning. "

As Zhao Daniu said, he took out a relatively thin roster from his arms and handed it to Zhao Wen.

"Well, divide the 56 soldiers into teams of [-] each, and divide them into six teams for training first. Remember, these recruits can only use weapons such as knives, guns and sticks during training. Get them in touch. Let them train for two months first.

These refugees were arranged in vacant houses in the fort.Remember, make it clear to them that these houses are only for them to live in temporarily.He had to pay three cents of the rent every month. If he wanted to put the house under his own name, he had to spend money to buy it, or he had to work in Longmen Castle for three years. Zhao Wen took the roster and flipped through a few pages casually.

The reason why Zhao Wen wants to do this is because he doesn't want to do something like promoting Mi En and fighting Mi Qiu.

"For the rest, put them all to work in the cement factory. Although these people are not enough, it is better than none. Give each of them a salary of two taels of silver per month, and take care of their meals." Zhao Wen put the two rosters in his folder Under the arm, Shen Sheng said.

The cement factories of this era are not as highly mechanized as those of later generations.

Cement plants in this era basically rely on manpower.

Those young and strong who do not want to be soldiers can just let them work in cement factories.

As for those women, children, and the elderly, Zhao Wen didn't think of a proper resettlement method for a while, so he put them in the cement factory first.

Of course, it is impossible for women, children and the elderly to work in the cement factory for too long, otherwise, their bodies will not be able to bear it.

Zhao Wen didn't want all the people he had worked so hard to get to die in the cement factory.

"Yes!"

Zhao Daniu and others clasped their fists at Zhao Wen, and then left quickly.

Zhao Wen held the roster between his hands, looked up at the sky, and let out a sigh of relief, "Finally, I have firmly established my foothold in Daming."

Although the dark circles on Zhao Wen's face are heavy, he is in a very good mood now.

Humming the songs of the later generations, holding the roster in his mouth, he walked towards the hall with steady steps.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a small figure, holding a rag in his hand, wiping the table on tiptoe.

Zhao Wen took a closer look, and it turned out to be Zhao Xiaoni.

"You doll, what are you doing here?" Zhao Wen looked at Zhao Xiaoni and asked in a low voice.

Zhao Xiaoni didn't notice that Zhao Wen came in, and was cleaning the table intently.

She was startled when she heard Zhao Wen's voice suddenly, and the rag in her hand fell to the ground.

Zhao Xiaoni hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said timidly to Zhao Wen: "Good morning, sir."

Zhao Wen looked at Zhao Xiaoni who was kneeling on the ground, put the roster under his arm on the table next to him, and hurriedly helped her up.

"Who asked you to work?" Zhao Wen frowned.

A seven or eight-year-old girl, holding a huge rag, was standing next to the table, which was not as high as the table, so she could only stand on tiptoe and carefully wipe the edge of the table.

When Zhao Wen saw this, his heart suddenly became angry.Can a seven or eight-year-old girl do this kind of work?

"Did Zhou Shiqi ask you to do it? Didn't you?" Zhao Wen asked in a low voice with a sullen face.

With the continuous development of Zhao Wen, the number of servant girls in the garrison mansion also increased.

The number of people was too large, and Zhao Wen and Li Xiaoying had other things to do, so they couldn't handle it at all, so this week, Zhou Shiqi, a distant relative of Lao Liu, became the butler of the garrison mansion.Responsible for managing the subordinates in the mansion.

"Butler Zhou didn't ask me to do it, I wanted to do it myself." Zhao Xiaoni said bluntly.

"Why are you doing this? You are not as tall as the table, what are you doing? Okay, put it down, someone will come and do it later." Zhao Wen picked up the rag from the ground and put it on the table.

"No, I'm going to do it. The elder bought Xiaoni, and Xiaoni can't let the elder spend his money for nothing." Zhao Xiaoni said with a stubborn face.

Zhao Wen scratched his head, and said helplessly, "I've convinced you, that's all right, don't do this for now, go and call Li Xiaoying over for me, I have something to ask her."

"Row!"

Zhao Xiaoni readily agreed, and then ran away quickly with two short legs.

The pigtails tied up on the head flicked and flicked.

Zhao Wen looked at Zhao Xiaoni who was leaving, shook his head helplessly, and then stood at the entrance of the hall.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Li Xiaoying walked over slowly.

"Brother Zhao, what do you want from me?" Li Xiaoying looked at Zhao Wen's tired face and knew that Zhao Wen hadn't slept all night, so she said, "Brother Zhao, it's okay not to sleep this night. What's better than resting?" Is it important?"

Zhao Wen waved his hand, and said calmly: "For a big event, if this matter is done well, it may earn a lot of money every year."

"Okay, let's not talk about this. I heard from Zhao Daniu and the others that you didn't sleep at midnight last night?" Zhao Wen looked at Li Xiaoying and asked in a low voice.

"Well, there are too many things going on in Longmen Castle right now. In addition to the many refugees you brought back, someone has to watch over everything. Otherwise, who knows if the hands and feet of those under him are clean or not." Li Xiaoying grew a little Tone, said in a low voice.

"I said you, I just like to worry about it. That's fine, let's not talk about this. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Come have breakfast with me first." Zhao Wen took Li Xiaoying's hand and walked to the hall.

Although Li Xiaoying has long been used to Zhao Wen's appearance, whenever Zhao Wen took her hand, her face would always turn red.

Zhao Wen pulled Li Xiaoying to sit on the table in the hall, and said to Xiaohuan who was following Li Xiaoying, "Go and tell the kitchen to bring the food to the hall. Today I will eat in the hall."

"Yes!"

Xiaohuan gave a salute, then headed towards the kitchen.

Zhao Xiaoni was wearing a small red dress, cloth shoes on her feet, kicking her calves non-stop, followed behind Xiaohuan, and headed for the kitchen.

Half an hour later, Zhao Wen wiped his mouth and pulled Li Xiaoying up mysteriously.

"Xiao Ni, give me these two rosters." Zhao Wen handed the two rosters to Zhao Xiaoni, who was full of rice grains, and he picked up Li Xiaoying and walked towards the backyard.

"What's the matter? Do you insist on pulling me?" Li Xiaoying blushed, looked at the mysterious Zhao Wen shyly, and asked coquettishly.

Zhao Wen smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know when the time comes."

After a while, Zhao Wen dragged Li Xiaoying to the backyard.

I saw Liu Wu sitting in front of the stone table, staring at the mirror on the stone table intently, like a wooden man.

"Liu Wu, you have nothing to do now, you can go eat." Zhao Wen looked at the sleepy Liu Wu and said in a low voice.

"Yes!"

As soon as Liu Wu clasped his fists, he ran out of the backyard like flying.

Zhao Wen pointed to the palm-sized mirror on the stone table, and said to Li Xiaoying, "This is what I want to show you."

Li Xiaoying looked at the mirror reflecting the silver light, and asked curiously, "Is this silver?"

Zhao Wen chuckled, then picked up the mirror.

At this time, the raw lacquer on the mirror has completely dried, and the thin silver film is also tightly fixed to the back of the mirror by the raw varnish.

Zhao Wen picked up the mirror, smiled mysteriously, and said, "This is a glass mirror. It is a hundred times brighter than a copper mirror. It is precious."

Zhao Wen pointed the mirror at Li Xiaoying's face, and said with a smile, "Do you think so?"

"what!"

Li Xiaoying looked at her clear face in the mirror and screamed.

I saw a face with faint dark circles clearly appearing in the mirror, and the face in the mirror was full of disbelief.

"So clear? Is it me in this mirror? I've never seen myself so clearly." Li Xiaoying blinked at the mirror and asked curiously.

Although there were already glass mirrors in this era, they were basically concentrated in the southeast coast, and there were very few inland areas.

This glass mirror is in the inland, and basically only some rich or noble families can own it.Not to mention the homes of ordinary people, even rich men with a small fortune can't get in touch with them at all.

And Li Xiaoying's home is not a wealthy family, so Li Xiaoying has never seen a glass mirror.

Standing at Zhao Wen's feet, holding the roster, Zhao Xiaoni stretched her neck, tiptoed, and looked curiously at the mirror in Zhao Wen's hand.Unfortunately, she is too small to see at all.

"Don't look at this palm-sized mirror, this mirror will cost at least 50 taels of silver."

"What?! Just such a small piece of mirror will cost 50 taels of silver?" Li Xiaoying opened her mouth wide and looked at the mirror in Zhao Wen's hand in disbelief.

Zhao Wen looked at Li Xiaoying's surprised face, smiled and said, "The cost of such a big mirror is less than a penny. Think about it, how much profit is there?"

"My God, this..." Li Xiaoying was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

The profit among them really surprised Li Xiaoying.

Things that cost less than a penny can be sold for 50 taels.This is simply profiteering.

"But, can such an expensive thing be sold?" Li Xiaoying was shocked, but also a little worried.

Zhao Wen smiled mysteriously and said, "You can watch it when the time comes, I'll take care of your jaw."

"I'll give you this mirror." Zhao Wen took Li Xiaoying's right hand and put the palm-sized mirror into Li Xiaoying's hand.

"Is this not appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate? A small gadget is not worth much." Zhao Wen waved his hand and said boldly.

…………

Zhao Wen put the roster on the bookshelf in the study, and sat at the desk by himself.

Holding a charcoal pencil in his hand, he writes and draws on a piece of rice paper.

There is almost no Chinese character on this rice paper, basically some simple pictures and arrows.

This is the specific production flow chart of the glass mirror made by Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen put down the charcoal pencil in his hand, slumped on the chair, and let out a long breath, "Oh, these people don't know a single word, it's too difficult for me."

If it weren't for Wang Liuqi's ignorance of big characters, Zhao Wen wouldn't need to draw so hard.

The pictures drawn had to be simple and clear, otherwise Wang Liuqi would not be able to understand them at all.

Zhao Wen picked up the teacup on the desk, took a sip, then rolled up the rice paper and walked outside.
