Li Shimin

Unexpectedly, within 20 days, colored glaze could be fired.You know, before, those general supervisors, even the craftsmen who were military supervisors, naturally tried to make colored glaze.

However, they all returned in vain, coupled with the deliberate concealment of some Hu merchants, so it spread among the craftsmen that a kind of sacred stone that they need to have in Persia for firing colored glaze.

Unexpectedly, now they don't need any sacred stones, they can just burn colored glaze.

Regarding these, Li Xuan didn't know.

Right now, he is racking his brains, thinking hard, how to increase the transparency of colored glaze and turn it into real glass.

……

Without any accidents, the glazed stones that had just been fired in the afternoon appeared in the hands of Li Shimin in the Taiji Palace at night.

"This glazed block is really made by that master?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the grassroots dare to guarantee their lives on this matter. This thing was fired by the two of us under the command of the young master!"

Your Highness, the person who is bowing and looking excited is the craftsman in Liu Xuanna's forging workshop.

"very good!"

After playing with it for a long time, Li Shimin finally returned the colored glaze block in his hand to Ying Qi.

"You should know the formula of this thing, and you should also know the value of this thing!"

"Return to Your Majesty, the grass people will definitely not tell anyone about this!"

A trace of excitement flashed in Ying Qi's eyes, and he quickly replied.

"Ok!"

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, and said: "I will remember this achievement for you first, and when the master is satisfied with the colored glaze that he made, I will give you two rewards."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ying Qi is overjoyed.

Immediately, Lianye took the piece of colored glaze and rushed back to Lijiazhuang.

After returning, he followed the master and began to study and fire repeatedly.

Therefore, the number of times Ying Qi rushed to the palace at night became more and more frequent.

Finally, a few days later, Li Xuan with a haggard face, held up a piece of crystal clear glass in his hand, and announced to Ying Qi and Wu Fu who were equally happy.

"My master is exhausted, the glass is finally fired!"

"Glass?"

Although Ying Qi and Wu Fu were both full of shock.

However, he was even more curious about the glass in Li Xuan's mouth.

"This thing is more transparent than colored glaze, and the interior has no variegated colors, so it can be called glass!" Li Xuan said.

"Congratulations master, you're done!"

"Master, this fetish is called glass, but for that vegetable field?"

Li Chengqian and Li Chongyi, who had followed Li Xuan in the forging room all day long and guarded a forging furnace, were relieved to see that Li Xuan was finally satisfied.

Immediately, it was also a great joy.

Although they are some dudes, they are not fools.

They have not forgotten the reason why this forge was built.

"Exactly!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

Immediately, he turned to Ying Qi and Wu Fu who were on the side, and said: "Two craftsmen, please invite two more to forge an iron pillar three feet long and one inch wide, and leave a piece in the middle that can be The groove where the glass is inserted is about one finger wide. In addition, there are such grooves on both sides of the iron pillars.

Then, a finger-thick glass was fired, and the length and width had to be three feet long..."

"Dare to ask Master, what is the purpose of firing this iron pillar?"

After listening, Ying Qi and Wu Fu asked quickly.

Although, they all already knew that His Majesty no longer had any restrictions on this young master.However, when it comes to making ironware, they still dare not be negligent.

Even if His Royal Highness is by his side.

"I want to use the iron pillar to install the glass."

Li Xuan replied.

"Install glass?"

After listening, Ying Qi and Wu Fu were taken aback for a moment, then they both remembered what Li Xuan just said and nodded repeatedly.

……

Chapter 83 Glass Windows!

However, these two craftsmen still somewhat underestimated the urgency in Li Xuan's heart.Because, the vegetables in the vegetable shed have begun to wilt.

"This matter, the two craftsmen, please hurry up. The weather is getting colder and colder. I want to install all these glasses before the first snow falls!"

"Master, please rest assured that within five days, the villain will be able to burn out the glass and iron pillars that Master needs."

After getting along for such a long time, Ying Qi and Wu Fu, two master craftsmen, have also figured out some of Li Xuan's temper.Finding that Li Xuan was really anxious, he didn't dare to delay.

After talking to Li Xuan, he walked into the forge from outside the city and began to burn glass and iron.

Fortunately, the materials for firing the glass and iron pillars were all bought by Li Xuan himself, and sent Cheng Chusi and others to buy them.

The warehouses next to the forge have already been filled with three warehouses, so there is no need to worry about the shortage of raw materials.

The direct firepower was fully turned on, and the two forging furnaces started working together.

In addition, the impatient Li Xuan brought Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and other six people to help out every afternoon.

It would have taken five days, but in just three days, hundreds of pieces of glass and hundreds of iron pillars have been fired.

Afterwards, they took Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi and spent two days to build the glass greenhouse outside the original vegetable shed.Finally, the original thatch was spread outside the glass greenhouse, and then a layer of earth wall nearly two feet thick and five feet high was piled up on the outside of the thatch.

Only the upper part and the top of the glass greenhouse are left, except for the glass, it is empty.

In this way, standing in the shed is like standing in a courtyard. Except for the surrounding 'courtyard wall', you can clearly see the sun in the sky when you look up, and the light in the shed is extremely bright.

Immediately, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others were all shocked, astonished as heaven!

However, there are still some doubts in my heart.

"Master, using these glass to wrap the vegetable shed, can these vegetables really bear fruit in winter without freezing to death?"

After his curiosity passed, Cheng Chusi was still a little puzzled.

As for Li Chongyi and others, although they also had these doubts, they still remained patient and did not speak out.Therefore, after Cheng Chusi finished speaking, Li Chongyi and the others quickly looked at Li Xuan expectantly.

"This is also the first time my master built this kind of glass greenhouse, how do I know?"

Li Xuan snorted softly, and said something that made Cheng Chusi and others choke.

"If you want to know if you can grow vegetables in winter, in two months, come to this greenhouse and take a look, don't you know?"

"Thank you for your advice, Master!"

However, Cheng Chusi thought that Li Xuan was teaching him, so he smiled at Li Chongyi and the others proudly, his face full of joy.

Li Chongyi, Chang Sun Chong and others who were watching were speechless.

This rough stuff!

"Ok!"

Li Xuan also had a helpless expression on his face, he responded casually, and walked back with these restless disciples.

"That's it for today, tomorrow you will continue to burn glass and iron pillars with me!"

"Huh? Still need to be fired?"

Immediately, Li Chongyi and the others, who were originally happy, turned bitter again.

At their age, it is time for fun.

For anything, it is also a three-day heat.

Now, driven by Li Xuan, I have stayed in the forge for more than 20 days, and I am very tired of firing glass and steel columns.

"Glass has more than one use!"

Li Xuan looked inscrutable, and after finishing speaking, he walked forward on his own.

Behind him was Li Chongyi and others who were anxious, but could not get an answer.

"Master..."

……

However, no matter how pleading Li Chongyi and others looked, Li Xuan had no intention of explaining.

Because, after a few times, Li Xuan deeply understood that for this group of bastards, especially a group of ignorant dudes, no matter how clear they were, they still couldn't explain it.

Only when those things are completely placed in front of them can they understand.

Or seduced by the second use of that glass, the second day anyway.

This group of dudes maintained a positive and enthusiastic attitude, and started to help with the firing without Li Xuan's urging.

Two days later.

Five pieces of glass three feet long and three feet wide were carried into Li Xuan's courtyard.

At the same time, two craftsmen Ying Qi and Wu Fu followed.

However, just after entering the courtyard, Li Xuan's actions surprised Li Chongyi and the others before they could rest for a while.

"Master, why did you remove all the windows?"

However, Li Xuan showed no sign of stopping.

Basically, the windows here are all made of wood, and the windows are pasted with transparent bamboo strip paper.Therefore, it is very convenient to disassemble.

Li Xuan just held an iron knife, and with a few clicks of 'kuang kuang', a window had been demolished.

"Come on, take two iron frames!"

Li Xuan ordered.

"Yes, Master!"

Hearing this, Li Chongyi quickly picked up two iron frames and handed them to Li Xuan.

Then, Li Xuan asked Cheng Chusi to bring the piece of glass again.

Insert the glass into the iron frame, and then install the iron frame on the remaining two sides of the glass, and then fix the iron frame and glass to the window with wooden boards.

Now, Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi and others all understood.

Can't help but his eyes are shining, his expression is flickering.

It turned out that the Master wanted to use glass as glass.

However, Ying Qi and Wu Fu, two artisans who have never known the purpose of glass, looked shocked.

The glass is clear and transparent. With this glass window, you can clearly see the scenery outside the glass when standing inside the house. It is stronger and warmer than bamboo strip paper, especially more light-transmitting.

"This this……"

After two sentences, he didn't say a complete sentence.

After all the windows in the house were installed with glass windows, the whole room suddenly became much brighter.

Seeing this, Cheng Chusi and Yuchi Baolin were even more excited, going in and out of each room with extremely excited expressions.

"Chongyi!"

"The disciple is here!"

Li Chongyi responded quickly.

"Go, take out one hundred guan, Ying Qi and Wu Fu, two craftsmen, fifty guan each, it's a reward for forging glass!"

At this moment, Li Xuan also had a happy expression on his face.
