After the fourth master and I wear each other [Qing wear]

Although Kangxi did not believe that his son was the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, he did not attack the fourth child directly.

Compared with the eighth child who wants to get a foothold in the Ministry of Household Affairs, the fourth child is willing to try to develop financial resources. At least this courage is commendable.

"It has been five years since the glass factory was established. I also thought about developing large pieces of glass, but unfortunately there is no news. If you want to go to the glass factory, I will allow it."

When Kangxi said this, the subtext was that it doesn't matter if the fourth child can't produce results.

He didn't express any hope for this, even if he was an emperor, he would not think that he could have everything he wanted in a whimsical way.

Immediately, the officials of the Manufacturing Office in charge of the glass factory were called, and Wang Langzhong was asked to arrange the manpower and utensils needed by King Yongjun in the glass factory.

"This matter, you can't keep fighting with it."

Kangxi was willing to let the fourth child try to make glass windows, but knowing that the success rate was extremely low, he would not let his son spend all his time on it.Especially the fourth child is serious, and if he doesn't set a time limit first, he is afraid that he will be boiled in the glass factory all the time.

Wu Fuyi understood, this time Kangxi was thinking about Si elder brother.

She pushed for the deadline and gave a modest date. "October [-]th, before the Lantern Festival, if the minister fails to gain anything, the experiment at the glass factory will be suspended."

That means less than three months from today.

Kangxi calculated the affairs of Lao Ba's side, Yinhu went to investigate the number of people in the capital who needed to be vaccinated, and he should have completed the investigation in three months.

At that time, let the household department allocate a sum of money first, and let the fourth child make overall arrangements for who will be vaccinated first.

Why not let Lao Ba be the one in charge?

The reason is very simple. On the surface, it is to appease the fourth brother who failed to study the loss of the glass window. In fact, it is impossible for the eighth brother to give him real power if he wants it.

Some things, the emperor can give, others cannot ask for.

"Okay, let's take the Lantern Festival on October [-]th as the limit. Fourth, I'm waiting for you to send good news from the glass factory."

Kangxi showed encouragement, but in fact, he didn't think this matter could be successful at all, so there was no expectation or disappointment.

Wu Fu left in his collar, leaving behind the so-called notebook that recorded the information on the glass window.

The main body is a copy of the English translation of Newton's "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy".Different from the purchased original, many reading annotations have been added to this copy.

Of course, not in the tone of the fourth elder brother, but in the style of a reader in London.

These annotations include interpretations of the "Principles", as well as some thoughts.Like how the average Londoner thinks about the rest of the world.

The book is turned in.

Even if Kangxi doesn't read it now, when the glass window comes out, he will definitely take it out and look through it, and he can't help but not believe the content of the book.

In the following period of time, there was no disturbance in the capital.

Kangxi did not go to Chengde to escape the summer heat this year, but stayed in Changchun Garden until late September.

Or because the emperor didn't leave the capital, there were less undercurrents.

All kinds of small stories about the vaccination of vaccinia were talked about by storytellers in restaurants and teahouses from time to time. As for the match between the king of Zhijun and the king of Yongjun, the old stories have been scattered in the wind.

People liven up one festival after another. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the Double Ninth Festival. They eat moon cakes and drink chrysanthemum wine.

A leisurely life is not for everyone.

Yinhu has never been idle for a moment since June.

From the south city to the north city, from the inner city to the outer city, it is to investigate how many people in the capital need to be vaccinated, and to distinguish the different vaccination environments in different regions.

This is something he found by himself.Because he proposed to Kangxi to ask the treasury to allocate funds for the promotion of vaccinia, he was asked to do a detailed investigation first.

Originally, it would be good to check the capital population records of the Ministry of Households and the Eight Banners, but in late July, Kangxi asked for an on-the-spot investigation, and asked Shuntian Prefecture to cooperate.

Ask each household if they have heard of cowpox?Are you willing to vaccinate?If you are willing to vaccinate, which time period do you most want?

The huge workload was to be completed by October [-]th.

Yinhu felt a little hasty, but did not dare to disobey the holy will.Especially when Guo Luoluo angered Kangxi a few months ago, as a husband, he wanted to pay for her.

There wasn't enough time, so I called on the ninth and tenth brothers to help.

I also thought about asking the fourth brother. After all, the last time the cowpox research was carried out, the fourth brother recommended him in front of Khan Ama, but he learned a ridiculous news.

——The king of Yongjun recently visited a glass factory, and wanted to borrow the glass factory's staff to make glassware.

Could it be that the fourth brother was beaten so stupid by the eldest brother that he finally decided to play with glass regardless of the cowpox promotion?

Yinhu didn't believe that Yinzhen would lose his mind by playing with things, and speculated that he might have made a batch of exquisite ornaments in the glass factory.

Or they want to sell glass vases, tableware and other items at a high price under the name of the king of Yongjun himself.Nine out of ten of this money will be used to subsidize the funds required for the promotion of vaccinia, which can be regarded as the best effort.

Not only Yinhu had this guess, but when other people heard that Si Age recruited and formed a group to make glass in the glass factory, they also thought that it was to raise funds under the banner of making glass by themselves.

There was no more news from the glass factory, and no one outside dared to think that King Yong could bring breakthrough technology.I dare not even think about making it at a low cost and selling it at a high price.

Wu Fu was in the glass factory, not caring what people outside thought.

She visited the entire workshop, such as glass furnaces, blowing tools, skilled craftsmen and so on.And with Kangxi's will, basically all kinds of glass formulas are disclosed to Si Age.

The good news is that with such equipment and labor as the premise, after a little improvement, the first batch of large flat glass can be produced within three months by the blowing method.

However, there is a fly in the ointment, and the output of flat glass will not be high.

The main reason is that at the beginning of the establishment of the glass factory, it mainly made small objects, and various equipment also served for this purpose.

Large panes of glass were not originally planned.Although several craftsmen were assigned to do research in this direction, there has been no progress.

If there is no progress, naturally fewer and fewer materials will be approved.The less material that can be practiced, the lower the possibility of breakthrough development.

The arrival of Wu Fuyi is to break this vicious circle of bad cycle.

She made a selection from several recipes at her disposal to find out the best blow-drying method for the current conditions.

To put it simply, a cylindrical glass semi-finished product is first made, and then cut in two from the middle.With the help of the glass's own weight, it can be spread evenly on the operating table more effectively.

The large pieces of glass on the market today use the French pouring method as the exclusive technology.

The emergence of the blowing method is more efficient than the pouring method.At the same time, low-cost production can also be realized after improving the formula.

The craftsmen of the glass factory were looking forward to and fearing the arrival of King Yong at first.

Originally, I thought that the fourth elder brother wanted to make a batch of exquisite ornaments by himself.They wanted to be selected as their subordinates and be appreciated by the prince, but they were afraid of being severely punished if they accidentally offended the prince.

Unexpectedly, Fourth Master did not go to design glass vases, but went to the most remote place to make large pieces of glass.

Now, the vast majority of people have given up their thoughts of making progress.Compared with outsiders who don't know how to do it, the craftsmen in the factory are more aware of how difficult it is to break through the technical bottleneck.

Due to differences in identities, everyone didn't say anything, but they believed in their hearts that this matter would not be possible.

For five years, there has been no breakthrough.Why did fourth master succeed in making a big glass window as soon as he came? Could it be that he is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth?

No one likes it, but it's better.

Wu Fuyi is very satisfied with this status quo, most people in the glass factory should keep Si Age at a respectful distance.

The technology of glass windows needs to be kept secret, and the selection of craftsmen to participate in the production is very particular.Those people don't have to be loyal to King Yongjun, but to the emperor.

Low cost, high price, such glass windows will become a source of huge profits.

King Yongjun created this wealth path, but there is no need to hold on to it.

The original intention of getting this money was to raise funds for the promotion of vaccinia, and it was not used on my own, so why should I keep a close eye on it.

Kangxi should worry about such things, such as worrying about the risk of being peeped after the hot sale of glass windows in the future.

Who will be peeping at the huge profits?Not to mention far away, will the Soetu Party have no ideas?

When the prince is involved, this kind of trouble must of course be left to Kangxi to solve.

Wu Fuyi was unwilling to get involved in the conflict between the royal father and son, and was prepared to retreat from the very beginning.

On this side, Wu Fuyi is permanently stationed at the glass factory.

In order to travel conveniently, he did not return to Zhuangzi in the northern suburbs every day, but lived in the county prince's mansion.

On the other side, Yinzhen lived in Zhuangzi until the end of August.Continue to be your own ghostwriter, tutoring the three children with the handwriting of the fourth master.In addition, wait for the children to recuperate for a while after the cowpox outbreak, and then revaccinate the human pox, so as to be sure to deal with smallpox.

At the beginning of September, the children returned home full of energy.

I went to live in Zhuangzi for two months, and my spirit became better, my height has also increased a lot, and my complexion has become more rosy and lustrous.

However, Song frowned secretly, dissatisfied with the state of her little daughter.

According to the report from the maid in charge of taking care of her daughter, Mo Yaqi was spoiled by the fourth master in Zhuangzi.The four-year-old girl actually went to work as a farmer, sowing summer corn.

Mrs. Song has never heard of corn, let alone understands the value of that stuff.What can be great, at most it is something to eat in one bite.

For something to eat, Mo Yaqi actually got mixed up with Mudlegzi.

Although her face is not tanned, it is still as white as ever, but it can't hide that she made herself like a mud monkey during the farming process.

Absolutely can't go on like this!

Seeing that Mo Yaqi was getting more and more crooked, Song didn't look like the daughter of a county king's family, so she must have a good talk with fourth master.However, the fourth master was staying in the glass factory during this period of time, and ordered the mansion to go to Si Fujin first if there was an emergency.

Song went to find Fujin, but as she thought, it didn't work at all.

Fujin said that Mo Yaqi is still young, and it's normal for children to have whimsical ideas, as long as they don't delay their basic studies.

It's not wrong to like to work in the fields.When it comes to growing up, food is the most important thing for the people, and when talking about elegance, planting flowers and grass is also a kind of elegant taste.

After hearing these high-sounding words, Mrs. Song could only swallow all her complaints due to her status.I really want to ask Fujin, if Honghui is a girl, would Fujin let Honghui play in mud all day?

What good will Mo Yaqi do in the future if she engages in such an out-of-the-ordinary thing, and it will easily tan her face and make her skin look bad.

Although the daughters of the county king are all married by the emperor, there is almost no possibility of being rejected, but the man will definitely prefer a beautiful wife.

The more Song thought about it, the angrier she became, and she felt aggrieved again.Mo Yaqi was her child, and although it could not be said that she would risk her life for her daughter, she was still thinking of her.Fourth Master is now used to Mo Yaqi, letting the children farm and play in the mud, what will they do in the future?

Thinking of fourth master, there was another layer of complaints that could not be said.

In the past few years, fourth master didn't often set foot in the backyard, he was busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty, or at least busy with the serious work of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.This year is different. First, I went to engage in cowpox, which has unknown risks. Recently, I went to a glass factory.

What kind of flowers can you find in a glass factory? !

Song couldn't help muttering, did Mo Yaqi follow her Ama by being out of tune?

**

In the 40th year of Kangxi, the ninth day of October.

This should have been a normal day.But when most people didn't know it, a big surprise broke out in the glass factory. The large flat glass was actually successfully produced!

The Qing Dynasty has no record of making glass windows locally.

On top of this, there is the little-known happiness on top of happiness.Rare goods can only rely on sporadically imported large glass. After the fourth elder brother improved the formula and process, the cost is extremely low, which can be called a huge profit.

When Kangxi first heard the news, his first reaction was, did the fourth child not wake up?

But I knew it was impossible, and the fourth child was not capable of making false reports.Because every process in the glass factory can be inspected by people, whether a large piece of glass can be made or not can be believed by seeing.

So, the emperor immediately went to the glass factory.

I watched with my own eyes how the craftsmen made a flat glass the size of a window.Its quality is transparent and clear, dozens of times cleaner than a frozen lake.

It turns out that gold really falls from the sky.

Even Kangxi was knocked unconscious, and the way he looked at the fourth child also changed.It's not that he really thinks that the fourth child is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, but that his son has great blessings.

First of all, praise and affirmation were given on the spot, and additional manpower was sent to ensure that this technology must be kept strictly confidential.

After a busy trip, Kangxi returned to Qianqing Palace.

He ordered Liang Jiugong to find out the English manuscript presented by King Yongjun in July, and then he began to read the English translation of Newton's "Principle", and read the annotations on it verbatim.

The book is obscure and not easy to read.

After Kangxi watched a few sections, it was half an hour before he came back to his senses.Looking up, the hall was completely silent.This scene seemed a little familiar, and I remembered that this was not the first time I found out the book offered by the fourth child after the fact.

The last time I practiced "Body Refining Technique" out of curiosity, but I didn't continue.

This time is different, and I want to know more seriously how far Western technology has developed, and whether those missionaries have concealed something.

Books are read by oneself willingly.

However, Kangxi felt like he couldn't laugh or cry, and the appearance of reading at night with the lights on was a bit misplaced.

In the past, I taught my sons to read a hundred times, which is self-evident, but now I am seriously thinking about my son's book offering.

The fourth child, the fourth child, not only made Yinzhen deeply understand the hard work of Xuehai Wuya, but also unintentionally involved his Khan Ama.

What can I do?

Kangxi glanced at the sky, and said that he would not go to the harem today, and read another section of Newton's "Principles".He didn't believe it anymore, he would not be able to read an article written by an Englishman.
