Xue Zhidie stopped and turned around and said, "What are you looking for to do?"

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "Take you to see the glass."

Xue Zhidie suddenly became interested and said repeatedly: "You are serious? Don't lie to me! Otherwise, hum!"

Zhang Zhun shrugged inadvertently, with disdain on his face.

Lie to you?

Need to lie to you?

When Xue Zhidie looked at his expression, she knew that it was most likely true. However, this matter was indeed important, and she couldn't help but have some doubts between gains and losses. After pondering for a moment, she said in disbelief: "Where did you get the glass?"

Zhang Zhun said calmly: "If you want to see it in advance, come with me."

After saying that, walk outside.

Although Xue Zhidie was half-believing and half-doubted, she always felt that Zhang Zhun was making a fool of herself. These days, she had never heard Zhang Zhun mention the word glass. How could real glass suddenly appear? However, Zhang Zhun seemed to have never deceived her. After thinking about it, Xue Zhidie finally followed Zhang Zhun.

Zhang Zhun did not ride a horse, walked slowly, followed Xue Zhidie, and the two of them leisurely left Fushan City. At this time, the autumn was clear and the climate was pleasant. Looking at the surrounding fields, the lush and green fields, the rice was growing quite gratifyingly. It can be imagined that October must be a good harvest season. Zhang Zhun was happy and hummed a little tune in his mouth: "A chicken in his left hand, a duck in his right hand, and a fat baby in his arms..."

Xue Zhidie followed him, frowned and said, "What are you humming?"

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "Have you heard of the polls in northern Shaanxi, go back to her parents' home?"

Xue Zhidie shook her head.

Zhang Zhun casually explained: "It's the child's father, the child's mother, holding a doll, and going back to visit relatives."

Xue Zhidie's cheeks turned slightly red, and she subconsciously said, "It's boring if you don't tell you."

Isn’t it because they both walked back to their parents’ home? They just lost a fat baby.

Zhang Zhun seemed to see Xue Zhidie's face and said without looking back: "I just said you have a lot of bad thoughts and just hum a little tune, and I thought it was teasing you! I said, can you be more generous? How boring is this!"

Xue Zhidie's face became more and more rosy and beautiful. Unfortunately, Zhang Zhun didn't see it. She was not the one who easily admits defeat, and immediately retorted: "You are full of bad thoughts, humming these inappropriate tunes."

Zhang Zhun suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at her, with a serious face on his face and said word by word: "I think we should have a good talk."

Xue Zhidie was shocked by his serious expression and did not dare to face his eyes. Her cheeks became more and more rosy, and her ears were red. She said insincerely: "What are you going to talk about? Who is talking to you?"

Zhang Zhun sighed innocently and said helplessly: "Why are you always targeting me? I didn't seem to mess with you!"

Xue Zhidie's eyes became even more uncertain, as if she was a little guilty, and he stammered: "When did I target you? You are too careful!"

Zhang Zhun looked at her for a long time and said seriously: "Isn't it really targeting me?"

Xue Zhidie hurriedly insisted and said confidently: "No."

Zhang Zhun came up a little, stared at her eyes without any concealment, and said slowly: "Really?"

Xue Zhidie couldn't help but take two steps back, her heart was panicked, her bulging chest was beating violently. She felt that her face was so hot, so hot that it seemed to melt. She hurriedly stabilized her thoughts and said, "Really."

Zhang Zhun breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself: "Beating is a kiss, scolding is love, love is to love to the extreme, kick it with his feet... I thought... you fell in love with me!"

Xue Zhidie suddenly went crazy, not caring about the rapid thrust of her chest, and screaming: "Zhang Zhun! What are you talking about?"

Zhang Zhun had already laughed and left.

Xue Zhidie was stunned for a long time, her plump breasts that were beating quickly slowly returned to calm, but the colorful clouds on her face could not dissipate for a long time. After a long time, she smiled strangely and said to herself: "Beating is a kiss, scolding is love, love is to the extreme, kick it with her feet... He can tell you! Is he like a seventeen-year-old? He is such a monster!"

Suddenly, he smiled inadvertently and followed.

...

The two came to a valley in Laoshan.

At the entrance of the valley, there are armed guards, and irrelevant outsiders are prohibited from entering. Xue Zhidie looked at their outfits and knew that they were from the armed forces team. Zhang Zhun now has three troops, one is the main guard, and the other two are the armed forces and the guerrillas. The main task of the guerrillas is to cooperate with the escorts to fight. The armed forces are more like the armed police in later generations, mainly using them to guard key buildings and guard secrets.

With Zhang Zhun leading the way, he naturally would not encounter any obstacles. The two of them came in and walked a long way inside. An old man came out of the valley and greeted Zhang Zhun. Xue Zhidie recognized him, and it should be Fang He's father, named Fang Han. If he remembered correctly, he should have made porcelain. Perhaps, there might be a porcelain kiln in this valley. What does Zhang Zhun mean to bring himself to the porcelain kiln? Should he look at glass or porcelain? This guy doesn't have glass and wants to replace it with porcelain?

Zhang Zhun and Fang Han talked for a few words, and the group kept walking inside. The more they walked inside, the more remote the valley became, and many roads were covered with weeds. If someone hadn't led the way, they would probably have lost their way. Xue Zhidie became more and more suspicious. What was Zhun Zhang going to do when he brought him here? If there was an old man by her side, she might have suspected that Zhang Zhun was trying to be ill of him. Well, although she believed that Zhang Zhun would not be so impatient. However, he was definitely not Liu Xiahui who was in a vain. When he had the opportunity to start, he would definitely not hesitate.

After walking for a while, there was still no sign of stopping. Xue Zhidie couldn't help but say curiously: "Where is the glass?"

Zhang Zhun said calmly: "Inside."

Xue Zhidie became more and more curious, and was extremely puzzled, but she had to hold it hard. In her mind, she kept guessing that Zhang Zhun might not have snatched the glass from somewhere and stored it here, right? Otherwise, how could he choose such a remote place? But, where was there any glass on the ground in Shandong for him to grab? Otherwise, he would have not got the glass and tried to replace it with porcelain. Porcelain in Shandong is worthless!

Finally, I finally arrived at the destination, but it was a small valley, surrounded by high cliffs, up and down. Even if the birds landed on it, they would probably die. There were many caves under the cliff, and the innermost cave seemed to be a porcelain kiln, because Xue Zhidie saw from a distance that white smoke came out there. Is it necessary to burn porcelain to make it so mysterious?

Fang Han opened the door to a cave.

Zhang Zhun said casually: "Glass is inside, come in!"

Xue Zhidie went in half-believingly. The light inside was a little dark and it took some time to fully adapt. After adapting to the darkness, Xue Zhidie discovered that there were five large wooden boxes piled up in the cave. Xue Zhidie looked around suspiciously and found that there was nothing else except these five large wooden boxes. Could it be that the glass was inside the wooden box?

Zhang Zhun said, "Old Master Fang, open it and show it to her."

Fang Han went out and called four craftsmen from outside to disassemble the wooden box.

Inside the wooden box was covered with thick cotton cloth, with several layers. The craftsmen carefully took the cotton cloth away layer by layer, and their movements were very light, for fear of breaking something. Xue Zhidie's heart also continued to go up and down with their movements. Seeing their movements, she felt that there might be glass in it.

Sure enough, when the last layer of cotton cloth was uncovered, the large pieces of glass were displayed in front of Xue Zhidie's eyes.

Although he was quite mentally prepared, when he saw the glass with his own eyes, Xue Zhidie still screamed: "It's really glass!"

Subconsciously stepped forward and reached out to touch it excitedly.

A cold feeling penetrates the whole body.

That's right, it's really glass!

Oh my God, it's really glass!

Xue Zhidie stroked the glass hard and couldn't let it go. She had never seen such a large piece of glass before. The biggest thing from the West is just a foot square, and the price is already a sky-high price of dozens of taels or even hundreds of taels of silver. But any piece of glass here can be worth eight or nine pieces of glass from the West. Oh my God, where did Zhang Zhun get the glass? Or such a large piece of glass! You must know that the larger the glass, the more valuable it is! Such a piece of glass is worth at least hundreds of taels of silver!

Zhang Zhun just smiled slightly from the side and then said nodded.

Four craftsmen lifted a piece of glass, took it outside the cave, and placed it in the sun, so that Xue Zhidie could slowly check it. The light outside was very bright, and even if there were any flaws on the glass, it could be easily seen. Unfortunately, Xue Zhidie did not find any flaws on it. The surface of these glasses was very smooth, the glass itself was very pure and had very high transparency.

Zhang Zhun said quietly next to him: "These glasses are of two specifications. Squares have three feet in length. Rectangular ones are six feet long and three feet wide. Rectangular ones can be cut into large windows, which have very good light transmission. As for small pieces, it depends on how your friends are preparing to cut them."

Xue Zhidie touched and looked carefully, and seemed to have not heard what Zhang Zhun said. She felt that she needed to calm down for a while before she could digest all the information about the glass. After a while, she realized and said curiously: "Where did these glasses come from?"

Zhang Zhun smiled slightly and said in a mysterious way: "Confidential."

After saying that, he waved his hand and asked Fang Han and others to rebox the glass.

Xue Zhidie looked reluctantly at the glass being carried back, and wanted to speak but stopped.

Zhang Zhun shook his head gently.

Xue Zhidie had to die of this heart.

As long as Zhang Zhun has decided on something, even if Yang Yinghan goes to beg him, he will not change his mind.

In fact, Zhang Zhun did not reveal the secret of how to make glass. This is his second financial path besides fine salt. Whether it is fine salt or glass, the production process is not very difficult. As long as the principle is understood, it is easy to imitate. Therefore, as long as the technology is leaked, it will not be able to make a penny.

The production of glass is actually simple. It only requires raw materials such as quartz sand, soda ash, feldspar and limestone, which can be made by melting at high temperatures and then being flattened. The porcelain kilns in the Ming Dynasty were already very developed and could reach the corresponding temperature. The details of them, as long as the craftsmen carefully study them, can be invented and created.

Fang Han and others were all masons who used to fire porcelain, and they were very experienced in mastering the temperature of the porcelain kiln. It was not difficult for this porcelain kiln to reach the temperature of melted glass. Therefore, two months ago, Zhang Zhun had secretly asked Fang Han and others to find suitable materials, porcelain kilns, and prepare for the manufacturing of glass. However, since the start of construction, they have also explored a lot of time. So far, the finished product is only these five boxes of glass.

Because Fang Han and others had no idea about glass before, Zhang Zhun personally gave instructions on every process, every step, and even every piece of utensil. In order to ensure the smooth manufacturing of glass, Zhang Zhun also organized several drills. Until everyone's gestures were very skilled and their cooperation with each other was tacit, they finally began to make real manufacturing.

In fact, where Xue Zhidie could not see it, there was a porcelain kiln that produced glass. Inside the porcelain kiln, there were of course a raging fire. In the open space outside the porcelain kiln, there were iron tables placed. Every time the glass solution came out of the kiln, several big men shouted horns and poured the hot glass liquid in the furnace onto the iron table. Then several craftsmen dragged thick cast iron round sticks and crushed them back and forth. Soon after the glass was flattened, they formed a large piece of the same as the tabletop, and a flat glass became.

Of course, although the flattened glass is very large, the side length is exactly one meter, it is not smooth and needs to be polished. At this time, several craftsmen came over and placed the large flat glass on a table covered with thick felt, sprinkled a layer of fine sand, and then placed another flat glass plate. By pushing and pulling the glass on it, the fine sand smoothed the two pieces of glass.
