Chapter 548
"Marty~Marty~, how about this glass?" Tang Ting asked nervously when he saw Chen Xu's face change violently.
"Well, it's not bad. If you can stabilize this quality, you can open a glass factory immediately!" Chen Xu came to his senses and nodded repeatedly.
"Don't worry, Master Hou, I have summarized the smelting time of several types of glass, and have also found several ways to reduce bubbles. Look at the plate I made the day before yesterday..." Tang Ting carefully took out a light green transparent glass plate from under the table.
Chen Xu took it and took a closer look, "Hey, this one is better, you can hardly see any bubbles. Have you added any other substances?"
Tang Ting quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Marquis, he added some scallops and saltpeter and stirred them for a while, but the amount was not easy to control. At present, only one ore can be used scallops and saltpeter to remove bubbles. The others are not very obvious, and there will be some things that cannot be melted under the glass solution. It is probably the one you said...that..."
"Combination reaction!" Chen Xu reminded.
"Yes, it's the chemical reaction. It's probably because something in the ore burns and reduces saltpeter and turns the bubbles away!" Tang Ting nodded repeatedly.
"This kind of glass research was very successful. I determined the required formula and asked Zhao Qing to arrange for people to collect materials in large quantities. You will go to the factory outside the city tomorrow to find Yingbu's manager and ask him to arrange for you to build a factory and a smelting furnace. If the equipment is needed, please help me and Gongshusheng. The glass workshop will be built as soon as possible. After the materials are shipped in large quantities, you can start mass-producing glass products and selling them. At that time, you can ensure that you count the money every day and your hands will get cramped. The wife and concubines will not bring you a lot of different things when they sleep for a month!"
"Don't worry, Master Marquis, I guarantee to complete the task!" Tang Ting and the three helpers were so excited that they couldn't stand steadily.
"By the way, wait a moment!" Chen Xu suddenly remembered something. He hurriedly returned to his office. He quickly carried the remaining box of colorful crystal stones and placed them on the table. He picked out the darkest yellow-green crystal from it and handed it to Tang Ting. "Use this crystal to help me pour a few round glass pieces, one and a half centimeters thick and two inches in diameter. I want to make a few sunglasses!"
"Use this piece to make a pair of bracelets, diameter..." "When Chen Xu spoke, he took out a piece of purple and placed it on the table, thinking about the size of the fifth princess's hand, "The inner diameter is made into three inches."
Chen Xu then took out a slightly smaller piece of pink crystal: "This piece is also a bracelet, with an inner diameter of two and a half inches!"
Another piece of green: "It's still a bracelet, with an inner diameter of three inches!"
Looking at these crystal clear crystals, Tang Ting and the three assistants kept slapping their mouths.
Crystals have been precious gems since ancient times, and are extremely rare. Only royals and extremely wealthy families can afford them. Not to mention a single piece, it costs at least tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan. Moreover, the Marquis’ box is more than ten yuan, and it is exchanged for money...
Tang Ting didn't dare to think too much in an instant and began to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He handed the crystal worth hundreds of thousands of yuan to himself. If he didn't succeed, he would probably die in a bad way.
With three bracelets, Chen Xu naturally wanted to give a bowl of water to a smooth and gentle water. The fifth princess and Meng Yi were eager to give it to her to a waste of her.
Chen Xu flipped through the box a few more times, took out a piece of colorless and transparent crystal stone from the box and placed it on the table: "Use this piece of glass of the same size and shape as last time, I want to make two mirrors!"
"Don't worry, Master Marquis, I will help you with these things as soon as possible!" Tang Ting nodded hurriedly.
Although he only stayed in the glass laboratory for more than ten minutes, Chen Xu was already sweating all over. He was guarding the stove with a high temperature of thousands of degrees on this hot day. It was simply not the place where he would stay with a fine and tender marquis like him. If he stayed for ten more minutes, he felt that he would definitely be so hot that he would be so hot that he would be able to breathe. So after a few words of explanation, he quickly fled from the Academy of Sciences.
From ancient times to the present, marrying a wife is a business of spending money.
The more wives you marry, the more money you will naturally spend.
Although Chen Xu is now a big family and has a great family. The marquis's mansion raises hundreds of people and two hundred horses, he is not short of money and grain. Just the official rank of the third-rank senior official of the processing department of Qinghe Marquis, who has nearly 200 stones of grain every month. Now he has been granted a junior division and adds another 200 stones of grain every month. In addition, the emperor's rewards every few days, these alone are more than enough to support Chen Xu, the family, and the speed of making money every day in Qinghe Garden. There are seven or eight Qinghe shops in the country and shares in Huaxia Money House. This money is enough for Chen Xu to squander at will. The fiefs of more than 3,000 households around Qinghe Town have never collected a stone of grain.
To marry three wives, you naturally need to prepare three gifts. In later generations, bracelets are of course good for jade, but in this Daqin, if you can make a few crystal bracelets with bright colors, they will inevitably blind everyone's eyes.
As for the mirror, if you give water to Qingrou, you don’t give it to the fifth princess and the little luoli who came here, you may be gossiping at the adults when you go back to your parents’ home. The fifth princess is a little better, and you may not be dissatisfied with the knowledgeable and well-educated person, but Meng Wan may not be sure. Xiaoluoli is small-minded and with the old hooligan Meng Yi, she will definitely be very unhappy to meet in the future.
Although I haven't decided when to marry, I'll prepare these things in advance.
After returning home, I took a cool shower and changed into clean clothes. It was approaching Shenshi. The servants in the mansion had already started to have supper. However, the sun was still high at this time, like a fireball hanging in the sky and shining on the earth. The entire Guanzhong Plain was like a huge steamer, while Xianyang City was like a black tiger lying on the north bank of the Wei River, dozing in the strong sunlight.
A young man wearing black clothes, a hat and an iron sword came from the southeast on a black horse and crossed the Weihe Bridge. After the city gate showed the sign of the Qinghe Marquis' Mansion, the soldiers guarding the city gate quickly released the city gate respectfully.
After entering the city, the man in black rushed straight to the Qinghe Marquis' Mansion. When the guard guard at the gate nodded and greeted him, the man in black rushed into the Marquis' Mansion, threw the horse to the groom who was greeting him, and then strode into the backyard.
"Clang~"
The door of the room was pushed open, which scared Chen Xu, who was lying on the bamboo bed, read a book. He sat up and immediately smiled and said, "Brother Yu is back. How about it? Is it a good time to go here?"
"Oh~" the man in black shook his head and sighed and took off the hat on his head.
"Hiss~~"
Looking at the face of the black and black black and purple that was beaten, Chen Xu took a breath, jumped off the bamboo bed and turned around Yu Wuya twice, and asked in surprise: "Brother Yu, didn't you say you were going to visit friends? How... How could you be beaten so miserably?"
"My benefactor, don't mention it, Wuya is ashamed!" Yu Wuya walked to the front of the table with two dark circles and swollen old high cheeks, poured himself a large cup of herbal tea and drank it in one sip, then sat on the chair and started to dazed.
"You all go out!" Chen Xu waved his hand.
"Yes!" The four little maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter quickly saluted and then left.
"My benefactor, I fell in love with a woman!" After staying for a long time, Yu Wuya suddenly spoke.
"Cough cough~" Chen Xu sprayed herbal tea directly, and tears came out of coughing, and then asked with a strange look: "Did you want to snatch your love from a knife and be beaten by someone else's husband?"
"My bet, don't make trouble, I was just injured by that woman?" Yu Wuya said with a few trembling face.
Chen Xu was in a blazing fire for a moment, and he moved a chair to sit in front of Yu Wuya and said with anticipation: "Brother Yu, what kind of woman is he? Are you beautiful? Is gentle? Is that gentle... That one seems not very gentle, but according to your martial arts, you shouldn't be beaten so miserably. Could it be that the woman is also a paradise?"
Yu Wuya shook her head: "I only found out that her name is Xia Zijin, but I don't know any of her master's origins. Now I live on Cuihua Peak, Taiyi Mountain. She was the one who picked up Princess Qingning last time!"
"No wonder!" Chen Xu nodded suddenly and then his face became silent, "Then did you see Qingning this time? How is the situation?"
Yu Wuya shook his head: "I was beaten down before I even went to Cuihua Peak. I also asked about Princess Qingning's situation. She said that I would only tell me when I beat her..."
"And you were beaten into a pig's head?"
"Well, she is very awesome. I thought last time it was because she didn't recover, but this time I was beaten even worse. But I will not admit defeat. I will go to Cuihua Peak in a few days..."
Chen Xu sighed and stood up, patted Yu Wuya on the shoulder and said, "Brother Yu, it's not like this to sipping a woman. You can't do it just by being abused. You have to use other methods to please her..."
"No, I must beat her, she said, whenever I beat her, she will promise to marry me!"
"What did she really say?"
"Yeah!" Yu Wuya nodded.
Chen Xu shrugged and said, "Then I can't do anything. The weather has been hot recently, so I won't run around. You should cultivate well in the mansion. If you need anything to help me, I will definitely not refuse. Even if you can't beat her until you are seventy years old and want to marry her, I can apply to the emperor to lead hundreds of Xuanwu Guards to help..."
Yu Wuya covered her cheeks and looked resentful: "My benefactor is so unfaithful to me?"
"No, I just think a good man doesn't fight with a woman. Forget it, just like you!"
"Mr. Marquis, Mr. Fusu is here!" Just as the two were chatting, the guard manager came to report.
