Last night's incident, Xia Hongsheng didn't say a word after he came back, and asked Qi Yong not to mention it to anyone. The sky is bright, the sun is rising as usual, what should Xia Hongsheng do, still running back and forth, whether it is the affairs of the military academy, or the affairs of Zhuangzi, the affairs of the prison, or the affairs of the Three Kingdoms, Xia Hongsheng needs to worry about it. Although Li Yuanchang is arrogant, he should not be a stupid person, what happened yesterday reached the ears of Li Laoer, who already hated him very much, and what would happen to him, Li Yuanchang would not know. Even if Li Yuanchang doesn't know, there will be people around him who know to tell him and remind him. So Xia Hongsheng wasn't too worried about what happened last night. Last night's incident was obviously Li Yuanchang's irrationality, and he wouldn't be unclear about it. But Xia Hongsheng was not blindly optimistic. Li Yuanchang will not know what to do to him clearly, and he will inevitably use some dark and destructive means. Although he has not really experienced the battle of the imperial court, after watching so many TV series, it is estimated that Li Yuanchang will also be that kind of routine, looking for someone to search for some excuses, or planting some criminal evidence, and using his position to give himself small shoes to wear.

But the key is that Li Shimin is not comparable to those emperors who are easy to listen to slander, so even if Li Yuanchang makes false accusations, Xia Hongsheng always has a chance to defend himself. In addition, Li Shimin knows Li Yuanchang's personality and hates Li Yuanchang, so he will not be gullible. As for the investigation, Xia Hongsheng is not afraid of the investigation at all. What is the most important thing for a leader to be a secretary in later life, is that you know what you have done, and it is much better to take the initiative to tell the leader than to be heard by the leader from the mouth of others.

Therefore, everything Xia Hongsheng did was approved by Li Shimin openly and secretly, so he was not afraid of anyone to investigate and sue.

Li Yuanchang and Xia Hongsheng. Xia Hongsheng felt that although Li Yuanchang was a clan. It is the identity of the royal family. But in Li Shimin's heart, there may not be his own weight. Even if he really tears his face in front of the emperor, he won't lose much in the end, at most, he will only criticize and criticize, and he will just reduce some money. This is a matter of Li Shimin's face to maintain the majesty of the clan, and some symbolic punishments will be imposed on Xia Hongsheng, which Xia Hongsheng is very sure of.

As for Li Yuanchang, hehe, don't say anything else. Just instigating and luring the prince into the land of fireworks in the Qinglou, and also the act of going to see the Turkic women, can make those officials in the court crazy impeachment of Li Yuanchang, those people are specially scolded by the emperor's order, and they don't even give the emperor face, you can scold the emperor and let the emperor kill you, it is your ability, it is your ability to leave a name in history, and it is worshiped by countless literati. Therefore, once those officials found out the mistakes of the emperor or ministers, it was like beating chicken blood. is definitely an important minister in the court, and even the emperor does not want to provoke.

In the morning, I went to the military academy. The concrete road is almost paved, half of it has been hardened, and it is being raised.

As soon as he returned home at noon, he saw the housekeeper and the old kiln head waiting for him at home.

"Childe, the ground on our Zhuangzi has been turned over, and the cow and sheep dung and locusts have been buried. The water in the Jing River has begun to come back again, and the farmers have begun to carry water and cultivate the land. The housekeeper came up and said to Xia Hongsheng: "There is another batch of cement shipped over, and it will arrive later, and it is estimated that it will be in the afternoon." ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Steward Tian, I don't go back often, everything in Zhuangzi is relying on you to be busy, and I have a lot of regrets in my heart, thank you here." ”

"Childe, where is this!" Xia Hongsheng spoke politely, but he frightened Steward Tian's face, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Thanks to the trust of the son, I built a yard on the Zhuangzi for the little one, and let the dog go to the wine shop to do things." What kind of place is the winery, Childe didn't hide it from the little one, the little one knows it in his heart, this is Childe's care for the little one. This kindness can't be repaid by the little ones, and the little ones are stupid and lowly, and they can only help the son a little bit! ”

"Everything in our Zhuangzi is done very well, the family members can get along harmoniously, and no one is a traitor, this is all the credit of Steward Tian, I know." Xia Hongsheng smiled: "Steward Tian has worked hard. ”

"That's a small credit, it's the son who is really good to the big guy, so the big guy is willing to follow the son." Steward Tian shook his head and said, "In this Chang'an City, if we are still regarded as human beings, we will be sons." The big guy is willing to be in the Zhuangzi, because only in the Zhuangzi of the son, we can still feel that we are individuals, not animals. Son, you are a nobleman, don't you know, around Chang'an City, who is not envious of our family? ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled, the two people Xu Xiaode found for him were very good, Steward Tian took care of the affairs of Zhuangzi in an orderly manner, and everything he arranged was carried out in an orderly manner. Xu also has a set of account rooms, and there is a degree of money in and out at home, and there are clear rewards and punishments. Xia Hongsheng did not treat these two people badly, they both built a yard on the Zhuangzi for them to pick up their families, and also let their sons go into the winery to do things, and in the future, they will become one of the shopkeepers of the winery.

"I heard from them that the old kiln head is also here, but what about the people?" Xia Hongsheng asked.

"The good godson knows, the old kiln head is ...... Go to the thatched house......" Steward Tian replied, and as soon as the words fell, he saw the old kiln head coming from a distance.

"Childe!" The old kiln head was full of red light: "Hahahaha, son, the glass is done!" ”

The old kiln head said and ran to the side and brought a mahogany box, opened the box, and saw a set of goblets neatly placed inside, and then moved a few boxes to open, which were the things on the patterns that Xia Hongsheng drew for him last time.

"Childe, the glass on the kiln is finished!" The old kiln head rubbed his hands and said excitedly to Xia Hongsheng: "I burned in the middle for a while, but it was not done well when it was blown, and the shape of the things made was not good-looking." I opened another kiln, and now it's all done! ”

"Did you try?" Xia Hongsheng looked up at the old kiln head.

The old kiln nodded vigorously: "Try!" Childe, I tried it as Childe said! Boiling water, ice water, no cracking! ”

Xia Hongsheng laughed, it's done!

"Not bad." Xia Hongsheng nodded and said to the old kiln head: "Next, except for the cement kiln, all the other kilns will start to burn glass, and don't burn the things next to it." Old kiln head, this time you can burn the glass smoothly, you have a lot of credit, and in the future, your case money will be the same as that of the housekeeper, and you will go to the Xu account room to withdraw a hundred yuan, which is a reward for you. ”

"A hundred?!" The old kiln head was dumbfounded, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and turned his head to look at Steward Tian.

"Childe, this ......" Steward Tian also felt that Xia Hongsheng was wrong, one hundred, that is definitely not a small amount, and it is enough to let the old kiln head dig a kiln by himself.

"Ben Hou is not wrong." Xia Hongsheng looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice: "In the future, all the craftsmen on my Zhuangzi will reward them according to their usefulness if they can come up with useful new things by themselves." Old kiln head, go to my study later, there is a contract for you to sign, Benhou will not treat you badly. ”

After that, Xia Hongsheng led the two to the study and took out the contract that had been prepared, which stipulated the obligations and rights of both parties.

When the old kiln head listened, he was already in tears. Because it was said above, if he is willing, he can stay in the Xia family Zhuangzi for the rest of his life, and the Xia family will be responsible for his retirement. The old kiln head has no children and no daughters, and he has already cried when he hears this, so that a marquis's family can treat him like this, it is estimated that he will be the only one.

Xia Hongsheng's contract is very thoughtful, and there is no squeezing and meanness in it, it is all what they are doing on weekdays, but it is written on the contract in the form of words. And Xia Hongsheng's treatment to them is also excellent, which is obvious to all in Zhuangzi.

"This paper contract, in the future, everyone who has contributed to Benhou Zhuangzi can sign it, and the specific terms and conditions will be different, but they are generally the same." After the housekeeper explained to the old kiln head one by one, Xia Hongsheng said: "How I will treat you and what you want to do, it has been clearly stated. If you wish, press the mudra. ”

"Yes! Willing! The old kiln head hurriedly pressed the handprint.

In duplicate, Xia Hongsheng kept one copy for himself, and handed over the other copy to the old kiln head, so that he could clean it up, don't lose it, and then said: "This method of firing glass is now one of the top secrets in our family, no matter who it is, it can't be leaked no matter what." Separate the craftsmen below, and follow the method taught to you before, and each person will only be responsible for one piece of work, so that he will not have the opportunity to learn them all. Got it? ”

Seeing Xia Hongsheng's solemn expression, Steward Tian and the old kiln head hurriedly bent down deeply: "The little one (old man) knows!" ”

Xia Hongsheng left the two in the study and explained in detail the next step of planning and arrangement. The glass can finally be officially put into production, because the cost is river sand, so the cost is much lower, and the price is naturally much cheaper than those Hu merchants in Chang'an City. And because the silica content in the river sand is higher, the color is also better, more clean and translucent, and after a series of annealing processes, the hardness has also been greatly improved, and the quality is definitely better than that of Hu Shang.

The quality is better, and the price is cheaper, and the market is naturally better.

The days when Liuli was manipulated by Hu Shang are about to pass. (To be continued......)
