Chapter 37 Glass Greenhouse

“Eat more than anything else…”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and he really couldn't refute these words.

Food is the most important thing for the people. After all, I would oppose the Yuan court at the time because I had no food for all the people, so I could only go this way.

What a pity, so much good steel!

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a burst of pain in his heart as the steel in front of him were inserted into the soil one by one.

"Hey, what are the holes in this steel frame for?"

Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang found many small circular holes on the steel again. When these holes touched, there were circles of fine patterns.

"Back to the emperor, these are screw holes, which are equivalent to mortises. You can screw in along the lines of the thread by one end of the steel frame, which is particularly firm!"

Zhu Zi'an explained slowly, and while talking, he picked up a steel frame from the ground, twisted it in, and demonstrated it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

“So magical?”

Zhu Yuanzhang pulled it with his hands, but he couldn't pull it away. His hands couldn't help but start to force it, but the connected steel frame did not move at all. He continued to force it until the veins of his hands finally rose, and the same was true!

Now, Zhu Yuanzhang became very interested and started to use it himself, unscrewed it, and observed for a long time. He tightened it again, and pulled it hard with both hands, but couldn't pull it away, so he unscrew it again...

Repeatedly, it was like discovering a new toy, full of interest.

"Zi'an, how much more is this item? We want to bring back one and hand it over to the Ministry of Works, so that the old people in the Ministry of Works can study hard!"

After Master Yang led the workers to connect all the steel frames, Zhu Yuanzhang reluctantly withdrew his gaze and turned his head to say to Zhu Zi'an.

When overlapping these steel frames, Zhu Yuanzhang squatted aside and watched the whole process, and found that the steel frames in each part were exactly the same length, thickness, and even the places with the screw holes were in the same position and size.

The structures of each are exquisite, and not only firm when overlapping, but also very convenient when disassembling and assembling, which opened Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes wide.

If this kind of steel frame is used in the military, the destruction of the Yuanting can reduce the time by half!

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang had already thought of more than ten uses for this steel frame...

"When you go back to the emperor, there is really no extra steel frame!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zian replied very simply without thinking.

"Um?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. It had been a long time since no one had rejected him so simply and decisively.

"Your Majesty, these steel frames are specially designed from Wudang. Each type of steel frame has a fixed number. These steel frames are overlapped together and can just fit a greenhouse of two acres in size!

If one less, it will not be able to connect. If one more is added, it will not work! If the emperor wants it, Zi'an can only send someone to send another one from Wudang!"

Zhu Zi'an said slowly.

"Does there be many such steel frames in Wudang?" Zhu Yuanzhang felt aroused in his heart and asked quickly.

"Back to the emperor, Wudang forged these steel frames are just used to build some things. They are usually forged when needed, so there is not much inventory!"

Zhu Zi'an replied directly.

"Well? Can you forge it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, then stared at Zhu Zi'an.

"Of course we can do this!" Zhu Zian nodded without thinking too much.

"That's great, haha, can you make some steel frames for us at the Ministry of Works?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed. How could such a thing be more comfortable than his own family?

"this……"

He wanted to get to the stove and forge steel again? When Zhu Zian thought about it, he subconsciously wanted to refuse.

"Okay, okay, then, let's go and help Zi'an cousin!"

Before Zhu Zi'an finished speaking, Zhu Biao, who was beside him, spoke with excitement.

"Haha, that's it!"

Before Zhu Zi'an could speak, Zhu Yuanzhang made a decision directly, "What does Zi'an want, just tell him directly!"

"Don't worry, Father, my son will do his best!"

Zhu Biao quickly clasped his fists and made a decision.

"Forehead……"

Looking at the father and son who were singing together, they did not ask Zhu Zi'an for any opinion, but set the tone of this matter. Zhu Zi'an's eyebrows were beating. Is he being double-acted?

"Huh? What's this?"

Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang discovered a very novel object again, his eyes glowed, and he hurried forward, stroking him with an obsessive look on his face.

"Cousin Zi'an, this thing is so transparent and bright, as white as agate, so beautiful. What is it?"

Zhu Biao also stared at Master Yang with big eyes, directed the workers to carefully take out the transparent white objects from the bundles of tight straw. Then, he actually placed these beautiful objects on the frames built by the steel frames.

I couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

“This is glass.”

Looking at the Ming Dynasty, these two biggest rulers, Zhu Zian looked helpless when he saw the obsessive appearance of glass.

"Glass?" "Glass..."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and all the onlookers couldn't help but murmur.

“What is this use?”

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.

"By the emperor, we mainly make this kind of glass to build a house! Using this kind of glass to build a house can prevent wind and rain, and can also let the sunlight outside shine in. This way, staying in the house will make it much brighter!"

Zhu Zi'an explained slowly.

“It’s like that?”

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the movements of the workers in front of him, and his face twisted together, feeling extremely distressed.

"You actually put such a good thing in the wild to build a house?"

"That's right, if it were placed in the palace, how grand would it be?"

Zhu Biao couldn't help but nodded vigorously.

"This kind of glass is used to build a house, and it will be the same wherever it is placed."

Zhu Zi'an was a little stunned. He really couldn't figure it out. What's the waste of this?

"But, this kind of magic object should be used well. How can it be placed in this wilderness and trashed?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked depressed.

"Divine object? Emperor, this kind of glass is simpler than that steel!"

Zhu Zian then realized that he, the cheapest uncle, regarded these beautiful glasses as something amazing.

"How is this possible?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked unbelievable.

"Your Majesty, we also made these glasses... No, they were made by Master Yang. Otherwise, let Master Yang make dozens of dollars for you at that time? Or, as much as you want, you can make as much as you want!"

Zhu Zi'an hurriedly said, "First uncle who is in trouble, is fooled by this intrusive cheap one."

Of course, it is because this kind of glass is really not very difficult to make.

"It's Master Yang again?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced suspiciously at the busy Master Yang, then looked at Zhu Zi'an, and said slowly, "It's so good!"

But Master Yang didn't know at all that he was sold by a bad real person in such a daze.

Under the command of an experienced master like Master Yang, two glass greenhouses were completed in a short while.

The greenhouse is surrounded by one-meter-high earth walls on three sides. The earth wall is a frame composed of steel frames, and transparent glass is fixed on the frame.
Chapter completed!
