There were more and more merchants who wanted to engage in cross-border glass mirror business under the rule of the People's Army. Before, the merchants in Guangzhou were mainly in action, and soon expanded to all merchants with background and ability under the rule of the People's Army.

The most critical factor is that Liang Xin and several other merchants who have opened up trade routes have already carried out glass mirror business several times, especially Liang Xin. The third batch of glass has been traded to border cities.

In the first glass mirror business, Liang Xin only made 2,200 taels of silver. In the second batch of glass mirror business, Liang Xin made more than 7,000 taels of silver. In the third glass mirror business that had not yet begun, Liang Xin's profit would definitely exceed 10,000.

This glass mirror business does not take too long, it only takes one year, and there is no problem with Liang Xin's net worth doubled.

The interests are touching, and no merchant can be indifferent to the glass mirror business. More importantly, the People's Army seems to encourage merchants to do glass mirror business. Merchants only need to open up trade routes to sell glass mirrors to get rich returns, but not all merchants can open up trade routes.

A big businessman like Lianjiangci and Xia Jingshan did not open up a trade route, and for the time being, he could only borrow Liang Xin's trade route to do a glass mirror business.

The merchants were thinking well, and the People's Army did encourage merchants to do the glass mirror business. The reason was very simple. Fang Nan wanted to develop industry, and all factories were built and the products were sold.

For example, this glass factory produces glass mirrors easily satisfy the situation under the rule of the People's Army. However, how to develop industry, expand glass factories and establish multiple glass factories is an integral part of the development of industry. The glass mirrors produced cannot be sold, and expanding glass factories is useless.

Since the People's Army ruled by the People's Army can't digest so many glass mirrors, it will be sold to the Ming Dynasty. The price of glass mirrors has increased dozens of times when they reach the Ming Dynasty ruled by the Ming Dynasty. However, more wealthy people in the Ming Dynasty ruled by the Ming Dynasty can sell glass mirrors that are ten times more than the People's Army ruled by the People's Army, and the glass factory will develop.

When the next war between the People's Army and the Ming court breaks out, Fang Nan has the confidence to defeat the Ming army and expand the scope of the People's Army's ruling area. At that time, there is no need to worry about the sales of glass mirrors.

The merchants were asked to sell glass mirrors to the Ming Dynasty ruling area. On the one hand, the development of industry, and on the other hand, the People's Army was able to collect a commercial tax. This commercial tax was much higher than that of only doing business in the country.

In addition, Fang Nan's attention to the glass mirror business is not only for the development of industry, but also for the function of glass is not only for doors, windows, glass and glass mirrors. More importantly, telescopes used in military and nauticals, and microscopes used in modern medicine.

The low-power telescope has been made, with relatively low output and is only allocated to officers at the division command level or above. When mass production is carried out, it will be allocated to the company command level.

The progress of the microscope is much slower, and it is expected that the first available microscope will not be able to be produced until next year.

Equal Coin has the greatest influence, and glass mirrors also have some influences. However, cement has a greater impact on the people than glass mirrors.

The People's Army's technology is that merchants go to various places to build cement plants to produce cement. At present, all cement plants have started to produce cement. The People's Army has included all the cement produced by cement plants in various places, mainly used to build cement roads and water conservancy facilities.

The water conservancy facilities built with cement are characterized by fast and sturdyness. The people who participated in the construction of hydraulic facilities are very confused about cement. This is the first time they saw this cement. After the cement solidified, they suddenly found that the water conservancy facilities built by cement were much better than the water conservancy facilities they imagined.

For water conservancy facilities built with just soil and stone, some minor problems may occur as soon as the heavy rainstorm is rushing. When many heavy rainstorms occur, minor problems will become major problems.

However, as cement adhesives are added to it, the solidity of the hydraulic facilities has increased a lot and can last longer.

The cement roads paved with cement are basically outside the city, but many ordinary people like to watch the fun. They walk on the cement road outside the city and step on it. The flat cement road is easier to walk on.

Smart people will soon think that the carriage will not bump at all when running on such a flat cement road, and the chance of transporting fragile items is greatly reduced. In rainy days, the cement road will not be muddy.

Many people are wondering when it will be better to pave cement roads in the city.

The people's military governments in various places do have this plan, but Fang Nan has other plans.

In Fang Nan's view, this city with city walls obviously cannot meet the needs of future development. The future cities are mainly multi-story buildings, with sewers, canals, and main roads should be spacious...

Under various requirements, the city must be renovated, but it is obviously a very troublesome to carry out a major transformation of the city. After all, there are a large number of residents in the city.

So Fangnan started from Guangzhou City. Guangzhou City wrapped with city walls is an old city. New cities are built outside the old city. At present, some factories are mainly established, and many buildings are being built. With the increase of the population of the new city, various institutions of the People's Military Government will move to the new city one after another, and the population of the old city will also be transferred to the new city.

When the population of the old city has decreased almost the same, the old city can be renovated, or directly brought down and started over, or a small part of it can be renovated to preserve the "ancient style" characteristics of the old city.

It is expected that in the future, cities will change like Guangzhou City. New city construction will occupy some farmland. This requires preparation, replacing farmland for the people, and allowing them to enter factories to work.

The good days for ordinary people have only been two years. The money they earn by farming is not much. They have to think about buying a mirror for several days. Their more idea is to store the money in case of emergencies.

Good days for the people will continue. If you have more money left, the people will also consume, buy glass mirrors, build houses, and buy other things. Only then will the People's Army's industry usher in great development.

On the one hand, if the people have more money left, it is the most helpful for industrial development if the Type B steam engine is researched and manufactured. Textile factories can produce cheap fabrics in large quantities. People's income remains unchanged, but they can buy more cloths. The same is true for other goods that can be produced quickly in the industry.

This does not include matches, soap and other daily necessities.

Matches and soaps may seem like simple goods, but they are much more difficult to make than glass.

For example, soap, early soap was a luxury product. It was not until 1791 that French chemist Lubulan successfully used electrolytic salt to produce turtle alkali inexpensively. It was not until the end of the 19th century that soap was produced in industrialized.

The difficulty of making matches is lower than that of soap, and the Yellow Phosphate Match Works Department can also study it, but it is not something that can be done in a short time to carry out industrial production.

Fang Nan was not too anxious, just do things one by one. When the literate population increases rapidly, the development of science and technology will also accelerate.
