Chapter 1154

Wang Yang settled down, although money is just a number, it doesn't mean that he doesn't like money, on the contrary, Wang Daguan will never think that he has a lot of money.

However, it is not good to keep one's wealth in the treasury so much, and the money must flow in order to produce more wealth.

"By the way, how is the glass workshop that Wang asked Lao Niu to run before? I remember when you wrote to me this spring, saying that you were able to make the samples I needed? ”

"Exactly, today, the little one specially brought a piece, and I would like to ......ask you to take a look at it," the cow steward nodded, and then shook his head at his son, the calf steward, and the calf steward brought a package wrapped in thick cotton cloth from the side, and inside the package was a wooden box about a foot square.

The box was a little thick, and when it was opened, it was still white cotton, when the calf steward carefully removed all the cotton from the surface.

Wang Yang finally saw a piece of plate glass that was completely transparent, pure, and very square and flat......

"Since you confessed this matter before you left, Xiao Lao'er has never dared to slack off, and several trusted craftsmen from the former Lao Wang have been tinkering with this thing."

"After more than a year, the little old man and those old masters are almost out of confidence, if it weren't for the son, you have been insisting, and you have been appeasing the little ones, I'm afraid it will be ......"

The cow steward looked at the flat glass that reflected the light, and his eyes looked so loving and precious. This thing can be regarded as the most painstaking effort in his life.

From scratch, the first samples they got were a few pieces of glass that Wang Yang had taken from a Hu merchant, and they were all colored kinds.

And at that time, Wang Yang was ordered to go to the North Shaanxi Road because of the will of the Son of Heaven.

Let him find a few skilled and excellent old craftsmen from his cement workshop, and then start the difficult road of developing glass, and this road will take several years.

I don't know how many difficulties I encountered along the way, but every time I complained to Wang Yang, I could always receive echoes and encouragement.

Moreover, Wang Yang has never had any output, only investment in this small workshop, and the annual investment is about 100,000 yuan.

100,000 yuan, that's a huge amount of money to buy a comfortable mansion in this Bianliang City, where every inch of land is expensive.

With a generous salary and Wang Yang's encouragement, everyone persevered, and every technical improvement and every time the glass water baked out of the oven would get closer and closer to Wang Yang's requirements.

It took several years until the end of spring this year, when the first piece of glass with exactly the required transparency and purity was produced, but the cow steward remembered that he and the old craftsmen present were crying like a group of children who were only five or six years old.

Wang Yang's mouth was also a little trembling, the glass finally appeared, and finally appeared a few years after he came to this era.

Carefully picked it up, looked at the flat and smooth glass, saw the red face of the calf steward on the other side of the glass, and could clearly see the flickering candle on the desk.

It is enough to prove that this is really a transparent and pure glass.

The calf steward also said beside him. "The glass that came out of the first place is like the colorful stone bumps, and compared to this piece of flat glass, it is simply unbearable to witness."

"Because you have been confessing, Childe, focusing on research and development, we have found ways to develop various glass products related to it. And for the sake of secrecy, only our father and son and those old craftsmen know.

It is precisely because of the shortage of manpower that today, the largest plate glass is made in this piece. ”

The first iron plate was used, but unfortunately the iron plate dissipated heat too quickly, and the hot glass slurry was cured before it had time to be processed, and the wood board could not withstand such high temperatures.

In the end, it was the foreman who thought of a way, which was to lay a smooth large stone slab flat, smear it with grease, and then pour the hot glass slurry on it, and then roll it out by rolling it out.

"Rolled out, good, good." Although Wang Yang understands how glass is produced, he even knows that some glassware is blown out.

But how to make flat glass, he really doesn't know, after all, he doesn't do this business professionally. It would be great if someone could solve this big problem.

Compared with those glassware, in fact, the biggest use is still flat glass, at least in Wang Yang's consciousness, the use of this thing is definitely irreplaceable by anything else in this era.

That is the lighting, in this era, there is no glass, so the eaves will work hard to stretch outward, so that people can let in the light through the open doors and windows during the day.

And when there is glass, everything will become simpler, and more importantly, with glass, the carriage that Wang Yang is making will no longer look so gray.

In addition, the birth of glass is also a catalyst for the chemical industry. With this kind of thing, Wang Yang's countless previous ideas can slowly become reality.

"Husband, what is this?" After the father and son of the cow steward left, Liu Yiyi stepped into the front hall, and saw the transparent sheet in Wang Yang's hand, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Come and see, and guess what it is?" Wang Yang smiled and motioned for Liu Yiyi to come and sit down, and then handed over the glass plate.

"It's quite heavy, so big, so flat, and so smooth crystal piece, I'm afraid it's hard to find." After Liu Yiyi received it in his hand, he looked at the glass sample in amazement.

"How big does this need to be to grind it?"

"It's not polished crystal, it's fired glass." Wang Yang smiled and raised his eyebrows proudly towards Liu Yiyi.

"Glass, is that the thing you asked the cow to do before?" Liu Yiyi suddenly thought of what her husband had told her when she was on North Shaanxi Road.

"I didn't expect them to actually make ......"

Liu Yiyi snorted in disbelief. "This is actually fired?"

"Yes, it's made of the kind of stone that can be seen everywhere." Wang Yang looked at Liu Yiyi's sexy cherry lips slightly open, and the cute appearance of apricot eyes, he couldn't help but raise his hand and gently scrape the tip of her nose and said.

"This, this is too unbelievable, it's just husband, you made this glass, shouldn't it just be to polish the lenses of glasses?"

"Of course not, there are so many uses for this glass, especially when you can enjoy the beautiful moonlight at night without opening the windows and doors."
