Chapter 1155

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Yang, accompanied by the father and son of the cow steward who had already arrived to wait, rushed to the hidden glass workshop.

It was next door to Wang Yang's Wushan Printing Workshop, and he spent a lot of money early to buy the dozens of acres of river beach land around the Wushan Printing Workshop.

When Wang Yang and the others arrived here, the fire kiln in the glass workshop was emitting faint green smoke at the moment.

But the cow steward did not take Wang Yang directly to the workshop where he was doing things, but led Wang Yang to a warehouse first.

"What is displayed here are all kinds of samples produced by the craftsmen of our glass workshop in the past few years......

"From the earliest stone lumps burned to the plate glass that can be fired today, and these are glassware made according to the blowing method you mentioned...... After pushing open the door of the warehouse, the cow steward acted as a narrator of the Great Song Glass History Museum with a red face.

Wang Yang walked at the front, looking at the various glass products that were placed on the rows of wooden shelves with great interest.

From the original lumps of glass that were almost indistinguishable, to the oddly colored glassware, and beneath each sample.

There is a piece of paper that records the quartz stone used in the firing, how much soda ash is used, and so on......

Wang Yang stayed inside for nearly an hour, stopping in front of each sample for a long time, reading the contents of the pieces of paper in detail.

The records are very detailed, looking at these record papers, as well as the glass products on them, Wang Yang seems to see the hard work of these craftsmen day and night, so that in just a few years, the glass that appears to be very pure can be fired.

#####

After leaving this sample warehouse, Wang Yang walked towards the back of the glass workshop under the guidance of the cow steward, and came to the front of the glass kiln where the smoke was rising.

At this moment, those craftsmen were busy, and Wang Yang watched as a craftsman scooped out a large spoonful of glass solution from the reddened glass solution with a long-handled iron spoon, and then poured it on the shiny and smooth stone slab.

Then two craftsmen began to roll a thick, round stone rod on it, and soon the glass solution, which was sparkling from time to time, was gradually crushed and smoothed.

After the heat gradually subsided, I carefully clamped the flat glass with something, and at this time, although the glass appeared very flat, the surrounding area showed an irregular shape.

Then, after carefully cutting with diamond tools, another piece of smooth flat glass was revealed in front of Wang Yang and others.

Nearby, a craftsman was inserting a long tube into the glass solution, stirring up a fist-sized lump of glass solution, and then blowing vigorously into the long metal tube with his mouth puffed out while spinning it.

Soon, the glass solution in front of the long tube began to expand, and as he puffed up, a round glassware gradually appeared.

When he felt satisfied with the shape and size of the glassware, he brought a pair of scissors and cut it, and then quickly disposed of the opening of the glassware.

A complete and round bottle, similar to the shape of a gourd, appeared in front of people's eyes.

"Good girl, this thing was actually blown out by the fuck, this is too awesome......" Ling Zong puffed out his eyes and smashed his mouth in exclaim.

And his mouth finally alarmed the craftsmen who were busy over there.

The craftsmen inside didn't expect Wang Yang, the proprietor, to appear at this time, and they all stopped their work and came to pay their respects.

As the owner, Wang Yang naturally praised these craftsmen who have paid countless efforts and sweat for the glass industry.

Wang Yang not only gave a reward to the five craftsmen who had become veteran drivers of the glass workshop, but also promised them that when the glass workshop was officially commercialized, they would all receive dividends from the glass workshop. In return for their efforts in the glass workshop.

The wrinkled faces of these old craftsmen showed a look of shock that could not be concealed.

"Don't be surprised, steward Niu, take those share deeds and distribute them to these masters who have worked hard for several years for the glass workshop......"

"Owner, you, your reward is too thick, the little old man really can't stand it......" Looking at the contract that had been prepared a long time ago, the old master Wang led by him was so excited that his mouth trembled.

"I can't do it, you have paid so much hard work and sweat for Wang's affairs, for this glass workshop from scratch, without you, there would be no such things, so these shares are all you deserve."

Seeing Wang Yang so insistent, it was not polite, these old craftsmen seemed to understand that Wang Yang was telling the truth.

At this moment, a group of old craftsmen didn't know what to say.

Originally, they were just some poor men who worked for others, but Wang Yang recruited them when he was burning cement, so that they could get a job with a very stable income to support their families.

After that, they were given access to the glass workshop, where the wages were more than double that of working in the cement workshop.

However, in the early and middle periods, they were very worried, worried that they would be fired by their bosses if they couldn't get results.

But as a result, even for more than a year, the firing of glass has hardly made an inch, and Wang Yang, the owner, has not blamed them.

On the contrary, their wages have risen by 30%, and the sense of urgency to lose their jobs, as well as the excitement brought about by the increase in wages, have turned into the motivation to work hard to make the glass products that the owner needs.

In the end, the glass products that the owner expected were finally made, and at this time, the owner was so generous that he wanted to give them these craftsmen shares.

How could these bitter craftsmen not be excited, everyone shed hot tears on the spot, clumsily took their fingers and stamped their names on the contract with bright red handprints, while thanking Wang Yang, the proprietor.

Looking at these excited old craftsmen who even stammered words of thanks, Wang Yang showed a gentle and relieved smile.

It is precisely because of their efforts that the Great Song Dynasty can also have glass. And after having glass, many of the things that Wang Yang wants to do finally have a foundation.

"From today, the glass workshop will begin to expand, and it is also necessary to recruit manpower, and it is expected that two kilns will be built within this month, and as for the workers here, they will be selected from our cement workshop......

"In addition, the recipe for firing pure glass must not be leaked, which is a big problem related to your shareholders and the income of Wang......"
