Chapter 177 The price of wanting to know the secret
Fortunately, the production of glass is not very large. Scarcity is precious. Imported products like glass must maintain a certain quantity to stabilize its price. If one ship of glass continues to arrive, the price will immediately plummet. Of course, at this moment, Zhang Zhun is not worried about the price of glass. A box of glass just now had ten pieces in total, and at least a few thousand taels of silver would be sold.
"Since you've seen it, then go back!"
Zhang Zhun said lightly.
Xue Zhidie's curiosity is the strongest among all women. Especially after checking these glasses with her own eyes, her curiosity became more and more swelling. She couldn't help but say, "Zhang Zhun, what conditions do you want? You are willing to tell me where did these glasses come from?"
Zhang Zhun looked at her sideways and said with a smile: "Do you really want to know?"
Xue Zhidie nodded desperately.
Of course she wanted to know.
She dreams of knowing.
Zhang Zhun slowly restrained his smile and said slowly: "I can tell you some information that is not confidential, but, if you have the conditions!"
Xue Zhidie hurriedly said, "What are the conditions?"
Zhang Zhun said seriously: "Don't be angry with me in the future."
Xue Zhidie raised her eyebrows and subconsciously retorted. Finally, she realized something immediately, tried hard to suppress it, and said with difficulty: "Okay."
Zhang Zhun smiled slightly, lowered his voice and said, "These glasses were not stolen or stolen. They were produced by myself."
Xue Zhidie was shocked and said in disbelief: "What? You produced it yourself?"
Zhang Zhun said arrogantly: "That's right! I produced it myself!"
Xue Zhidie looked at him in disbelief.
She couldn't believe that Zhang Zhun actually knew how to make glass!
Zhang Zhun looked at her with a gaze and said with a smile: "What? Don't you believe I know how to make glass?"
Xue Zhidie swallowed hard and said honestly: "I really can't believe it..."
Of course she couldn't believe it.
Zhang Zhun is just an ordinary military household. How could he know the secret of glass making? Since the emergence of glass in the Ming Dynasty, I don’t know how many people want to crack the secrets. Many traders, after buying the glass back, would invite the most wise craftsmen to carefully study it and copy it. The profits of glass are really amazing, and no businessman can not help but be moved. However, unfortunately, until now, no businessman has been able to successfully copy glass. Even Zheng Zhilong, Yan Siqi and others can’t do it.
Even the Florians and the Red-haired Ghost did not know the production process of glass. According to them, there is only one country called Italy who knows how to make glass. This country is highly confidential about glass manufacturing technology and outsiders cannot know it at all. Xue Zhidie once bought a piece of glass for careful study, but she could never infer how it was made. However, Zhang Zhun actually understood something that even she was completely confused! It was really incredible!
Xue Zhidie had been in contact with glass before, so she certainly was sure that what Zhang Zhun produced was pure glass. The quality was even better than what was sent from the West and had higher purity. If it was a mistake, it would definitely be impossible. The question is, how could Zhang Zhun know how to make glass? Well, the question is back. As long as Zhang Zhun doesn't tell her the answer, she will never guess the key.
Zhang Zhun smiled slightly and said with some satisfaction: "What's the small glass? You have been with me for a long time, and maybe you will find more secrets from me in the future."
Xue Zhidie swallowed her saliva with difficulty and had to say with admiration: "Zhang Zhun, you are such a monster!"
Zhang Zhun smiled happily and said with a smile: "Yes, I am indeed a monster."
From four hundred years later to the end of the Ming Dynasty, what would it be if it weren't a monster?
While the two of them were talking, they had already left the mysterious valley. Zhang Zhun was in a good mood. He walked in front and hummed a minor tune again. However, his musical level was really limited. After singing, the two sentences were repeated: "A chicken in the left hand, a duck in the right hand, and a fat doll in his arms..."
Xue Zhidie couldn't stand his noise, so she had to interrupt his humming and said expectantly: "Zhang Zhun, I'll make a deal with you."
Zhang Zhun said without looking back: "No interest."
Xue Zhidie was so angry that she was irritated.
If it were in the past, Xue Zhidie might have despised Zhang Zhun seriously. What is it? What is worth savoring? But now, she no longer has such contempt in her heart. The appearance of those glasses has caused a very serious impact on her heart. She is very skilled and naturally has a deep understanding of the difficulty of technology. She is completely clear about how secret the glass manufacturing technology is. But now, Zhang Zhun easily cracked this secret.
Xue Zhidie definitely admires people with abilities, especially those who know professional skills. There is no doubt that in this field, Zhang Zhun has left her far behind. She cannot, nor can she look at the other party with a condescending look. Because she does not have such qualifications.
Zhang Zhun hummed again, and he was so happy.
After walking for a while, Xue Zhidie couldn't help but say, "Zhang Zhun, I'll tell you the technology of shipbuilding. Can you tell me the technology of making glass?
It was a tone of pleading.
Zhang Zhun still said without looking back: "I don't have any interest, the technology of shipbuilding is not uncommon."
Xue Zhidie was anxious and said loudly: "How do you want to tell me about the glass manufacturing technology?"
Zhang Zhun stopped, slowly turned around, and said with a bright look: "Do you really want to know?"
Xue Zhidie nodded desperately.
Zhang Zhun said slowly: "But you also know that this is my most core secret."
Xue Zhidie continued to nod.
Zhang Zhun was silent for a moment, his eyes firmly locked in her eyes, and said word by word: "So, only the person closest to me will tell her."
Xue Zhidie was slightly stunned, then reacted, her cheeks turned slightly red, and her expression was a little unnatural, and she said, "What did you say?"
Zhang Zhun said calmly: "I'm not teasing you, I'm talking to you very seriously. Please use your brain to think about it. If it weren't for my woman, would I tell her? Even if I am capable, I wouldn't believe in a woman who has nothing to do with me, right?"
Xue Zhidie's face was flushed, and it turned out that Zhang Zhun was molesting her again. She suddenly subconsciously raised her eyebrows, holding her face red, and said with difficulty: "You! You are shameless!"
Zhang Zhun shook his head gently and said deeply: "If you were me, would you tell others easily?"
Xue Zhidie was slightly stunned again, and then began to think seriously.
Zhang Zhun said without any doubt: "So, if you want to know this secret, you must stay by my side forever!"
After saying that, he took a big step away.
Xue Zhidie stomped her feet hard, watching Zhang Zhun walk in front with unwillingness.
"What's so great?"
"Don't you just know how to make glass?"
Miss Xue looked at Zhang Zhun's back and couldn't help but curse her.
However, she had to admit that this technology was indeed amazing. At least, her friend's fate will undergo tremendous changes due to the emergence of a large amount of glass! What's more, she really wants to know the secret!
"Hey, hey, wait for me!"
Everyone around him watched Xue Zhidie hurriedly following Zhang Zhun, like a young wife chasing her husband.
Of course, Xue Zhidie herself had no idea.
...
When he returned to Fushan City, Zhang Zhun broke up with Xue Zhidie and was busy with his own affairs.
Zhang Zhun returned to Qianhu Official Hall and found Feng Yangyi waiting for him. He nodded and asked, "Xiao Feng, is there anything wrong?"
Feng Yangyi said hesitantly: "Sir... someone is here in Xiahe Village..."
Zhang Zhun's eyes lit up slightly, and then he said expressionlessly: "Xia Hezhai? Is that true? Sit down and talk!"
Feng Yangyi sat down and briefly explained the purpose of the trip.
It turned out that two young people came to Xiahe Village, one named Dai Yu and the other named Wang Ding's family. They came to ask Zhang Zhun for help. However, because of the last incident, they did not dare to come to Zhang Zhun directly, so they went to Feng Yangyi first. Feng Yangyi was unwilling to pay attention to Xiahe Village, but the situation in Xiahe Village was indeed quite bad. As a member of Xiahe Village who participated, he could not sit still and watched, so he decided to come to Zhang Zhun.
Zhang Zhun asked slowly: "What's the situation?"
Feng Yangyi said with difficulty: "Many people died."
The situation is of course not optimistic.
Wang Jian's reaction was much faster than Zhao Yinying. After Zhang Zhun left Xiahe Village, he immediately killed a rebel. The military households in Xiahe Village were still no match for their desperate resistance. In less than four hours, Xiahe City was broken. Zhao Feng found that the situation was not good and immediately turned around to join Wang Jian. Zhao Feng knew everything about the rebellion and knew everything about the rebellion. With him, the traitor, Wang Jian basically grasped the situation of the rebellion and started a massacre.
Chu Lingxuan and Li Yonghang were killed one after another, and most of the other backbone military households were killed. Dai Yu and Wang Ding's family also risked their lives to run out. Their families were all trapped in Xiahe City. If there was no miracle, they would not have escaped Wang Jian's vicious hands. At the moment, the military households who participated in the riots at the front of Xiahe Village, even if they escaped Wang Jian's vicious hands by chance, they would still be wandering around and no one dared to go back.
After listening to Feng Yangyi's description, Zhang Zhun said calmly: "Please ask them to rest here for two days. Now you have to hurry, but you can't come."
Feng Yangyi wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end he didn't say anything.
At the beginning, Zhao Feng and others excluded Zhang Zhun from Xiahe Village, and he knew that there would be such consequences. If Zhang Zhun was left behind, how could they suffer such tragic consequences? Wang Jian would definitely not dare to approach Xiahe City! He did not have the ability at all! It’s a pity that there is no regret in this world. Since it is the bitter fruit he made, he can only taste it silently. Perhaps, after the bloody lesson, everyone will deeply understand what kind of path they should choose.
Zhang Zhun stretched his waist with great force.
A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Isn't this your choice?
If you win, kick me aside, and if you fail, come to me...
Am I a superman wearing underwear? Is it a responsibility to save the earth?
...
"Sir, something happened to Laiyang!"
Shortly after Feng Yangyi left, the mouse came in from outside and whispered to Zhang Zhun.
Zhang Zhun nodded gently, signaled him to sit down and explain the situation in detail.
What the mouse brought was Shublu's situation.
This time, Shublu was really angry.
Shublu was very angry and the consequences were serious.
He led all the remaining Tartars, three or four hundred traitors and two Tartars to conquer Laiyang. The magistrate of Laiyang heard that the Tartars had been fighting, and had already escaped without a trace. The people of Laiyang also fled in scattered areas. Shublu rushed into Laiyang and found that the people had run away. In anger, they burned the entire Laiyang City, and then turned to head toward Laizhou Prefecture. But halfway through, they happened to encounter a team of soldiers from the Ming army, and the two sides fought.
The Ming army had about 3,000 soldiers. When they encountered the Tartars in the wild, they naturally suffered heavy losses and almost wiped out the entire army. However, Shublu's plan was also blocked and he had to withdraw Tianheng Island. On the way back, the Tartars burned, killed and looted, and no grass grew wherever they passed. Xiongyao was on the route of the Tartars' withdrawal. As a result, Xiongyao was razed to the ground, and the military households were either killed or fled without a trace. Basically, it can be believed that Xiongyao no longer exists.
For a moment, Dengzhou Prefecture was shocked. The entire Shandong was also alarmed. Rumors were everywhere that the Tartars had crossed the Hainan Islands and appeared in Dengzhou Prefecture. Not only did the people around Laiyang escape, but even the people in Dengzhou Prefecture, Qixia County and other places fled to the mountains. Rumors emerged one after another, and even many officials could not tell whether it was true or not.
Zeng Hualong, the governor of Dengzhou Prefecture, was an old man from the Sun Yuanhua era. He hated the Tartars on Tianheng Island. Unfortunately, he lacked his strength and there was Liugong Island in his own jurisdiction. The Tartars on Shaman Island have not been annihilated yet. Therefore, they were unable to catch the Tartars on Tianheng Island. This time, the Tartars on Tianheng Island attacked Laiyang, causing extremely serious impact, and Zeng Hualong was immediately furious.
The reason was quickly found out that everything was caused by Sun Zhixie. The Tartars' plundering was all for revenge on Sun Zhixie. What's even more annoying is that the information left by the Tartars showed that they attacked Laiyang City because they were guided by Sun Zhixie. Zeng Hualong was furious and sued Yang Wenyue, a complaint was filed with a lawsuit. At the same time, he also sued the Shandong Governor Zhu Dadian in one breath. Zeng Hualong insisted that Sun Zhixi must be a traitor!
When Denglai Governor Yang Wenyue heard the news, he was furious on the spot and ordered Laizhou Prefecture and Dengzhou Prefecture to jointly attack and eliminate the Tartars on Tianheng Island! However, Yang Wenyue had no idea whether Sun Zhixie was a traitor. During this period, Sun Zhixie had been active in Dengzhou Prefecture, jumping up and down, and was not active at all. There was news from Jinan Prefecture that Shandong Governor Zhu Dadian obviously put pressure on him. If it were not for the face of the Prime Minister, Sun Zhixie had been dismissed from office and investigated.
Zhang Zhun sneered slightly.
Sun Zhixie, this time it's your turn to be in a hurry?
