"Who developed this glass?" Liu Hong gradually asked the dozen or so glazers who rushed to hear the news behind him.

Song Yingxing is now fully engaged in military scientific research, and Liu Hongji's side business is basically made up by these craftsmen themselves.

"Back to the master, this glass was made out by us together, and we have been eating and living together for half a month!

At the beginning, the glass fired was not transparent enough, so we worked overtime to improve it, and how to press the glass into a flat ......"

An old craftsman with half of his hair white walked out of the crowd and introduced to Liu Hongjian the birth process of the glass in front of him......

"My lord, he is Sun Dayi, the head of the glass workshop." Song Yingxing whispered.

Although he didn't interfere much with the research of these glass craftsmen, as the second-tier head of the armory, he was in charge of the glass workshop's funds and personnel appointments.

"Well, you should be proud, because in hundreds of years you will all go down in history!

Song Lao, these craftsmen each rewarded two hundred taels of silver, and Sun Bantou rewarded five hundred taels. ”

Liu Hong gradually encouraged these old craftsmen, rewarding the silver and asking for warmth, which moved more than a dozen new glassmakers.

They knew who the young man in front of them was, and they were indeed proud, but that was because their boss was An Guogong of the Ming Dynasty.

Glass is really a great invention, and with this thing, the home can basically say goodbye to window paper.

Not to mention the poor light transmittance of window paper, it will always break, and I have seen a lot of scenes in film and television dramas where when eavesdropping on other people's homes, licking your fingers with your tongue and deducting a hole in other people's windows.

Liu Hong gradually felt that he wanted to make a fortune, and he could finally plug the deficit of the ordnance station.

However, his workshop is too small, and the craftsmen and workers add up to less than a hundred.

It's not good to produce such a little output, glass is definitely in demand.

Don't say that other people, just let Uncle Chongzhen know, it is estimated that he will immediately ask him for goods, with such a small production capacity, it is estimated that it will take a year and a half to replace the windows of the entire palace.

No, we have to expand the capacity, and the expansion will require the construction of larger workshops, and the recruitment of more craftsmen and workers.

Oh, my God! My silver!

When the hell will I be able to make money!

Liu Hong gradually cried out in vain, Song Yingxing on the side didn't know what kind of wind his adult was smoking, his expression was happy for a while and sad for a while, like a patient with facial paralysis.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?" Song Yingxing asked with concern.

"Huh? Nothing, nothing, how much silver is still in the account of the old Song Ordnance Institute? Liu Hong gradually broke free from his fantasy and asked casually.

"My lord, there are still more than 300,000 taels in the account, which is enough to cover about a month or two!" Song Yingxing said embarrassedly.

He is the general person in charge of the entire large industry in Xishan, and it stands to reason that these industries should earn some money in addition to serving the country and the people, after all, Grandpa Guo is not a benevolent person.

But it's been half a year, not only did I not earn silver, but I spent money like water.

A few days ago, the dividends sent by Shanxi coal mines were gradually sent to the ordnance institute by Liu Hong, and now the capacity is expanded here and there, and there is recruiting troops and buying raw materials everywhere......

Liu Hongjian may just know that the silver has been spent, but he Song Yingxing still knows the specific whereabouts of each piece of silver, and the more he understands it, the more he feels that the ordnance office is a gold hole.

"Expand! The glass factory should be expanded, mass produced as soon as possible, and recruited! Liu Hongjian almost gritted his teeth.

Since you know that you can earn 100% of the money, even if you are embarrassed, you must grit your teeth and work hard, persistence, persistence is victory! Liu Hong gradually cheered himself up.

"My lord, how many more workers will be levied?" The corners of Song Yingxing's mouth also twitched.

The silver is all spent by him, even if he feels sorry for the grandfather of the country, but he still has to ask, only by knowing how many people to levy, can he roughly calculate how big the workshop will be expanded.

It's all about costing!

"Let's recruit a thousand more first! Mass production should be achieved as soon as possible.

There is also a layer of aluminum on the back of these glasses, made into a palm-sized mirror, and then the Oiran in the major green buildings in the capital will give a piece!

Remember that it was given away for free, tell the origin of these Oiran mirrors, and let out the news that the glass workshop was looking for an agent......"

The corners of Liu Hong's mouth slowly rose, there are dozens of fireworks places in the capital, and the Oiran in these places are all gentry, wealthy, and noble.

Everyone knows that he has a love of beauty, and if he can have a mirror that reflects himself so clearly, I think the Oiran will be happy to help him publicize.

Through them, the glass workshop will be known to the whole capital as quickly as possible, and the merchants are all people with a keen sense of smell, and it is believed that it will not be long before the mirrors of the workshop will be known to the world.

As for recruiting agents, it is also a lot of trouble, and it is necessary to recruit people to sell it yourself, so it is better to give it to these businessmen who are already doing business.

Fortunately, he is a producer, and he is in the upper reaches of capital, and he can completely curb these merchants through production and other means.

"It's my lord, the old man will do it later!" Song Yingxing thought about it for a little and understood Liu Hongji's intentions.

It seems that glass can be used as more than just mirrors and windows, and later, let Ben-sama think about it......

Liu Hong frowned, and suddenly stared at Song Yingxing, where was Song Yingxing seen like this, and somewhere tightened in an instant.

"Old Song, can you read the book clearly now?" Liu Hongjian himself is not short-sighted, but I think the ancients should not be able to avoid these problems.

"Back to my lord, the old man is old, if the sun is good, it's no problem, if you light the oil lamp at night, you have to be farther away to see clearly......" Song Yingxing didn't know what the adult in front of him was asking for, but he still reported it truthfully.

"That's it! Old Song, you are blessed! Liu Hong gradually laughed.

If Song Yingxing knew that there was a creature like an alpaca, his heart would definitely be galloping, what does this mean, and blessed?

"What this official means is, Old Song, your problem is called presbyopia! Our glass can be used to make glasses, whether it is myopia or farsightedness, you can see clearly and clearly with these glasses!

Six or six? Having discovered a new business opportunity, Liu Hong gradually felt that he was great.

It is said that my Chinese descendants have a cantilevered cone on their heads, and they work extremely hard to read and practice calligraphy, presumably, there are a lot of myopia!

There are also those rotten Confucians in the court who have gray hair, and even Uncle Chongzhen who stays up late every day to review and review the music.

Well, they all need a pair of glasses!

Glasses, yes, and binoculars......

Promising! Liu Hong gradually regained some confidence in making money in an instant.

A few days later, the entire capital and even the wealthy merchants of Shuntian Mansion were boiling......

It's not that they haven't seen a diorama, but there's a qualitative difference.

The diorama is not only small, but the image is far from the one seen in the Qinglou, and all the far-sighted businessmen have sniffed out a huge business opportunity......
