Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers. Xu Xingxia tried to keep the glass a secret, of course, to let the people he trusted the most come out. The steward of the glass workshop, Xu Xingxia wanted his father to be in charge. Xu Fuqing, who has been lying in bed for a year, has long wanted to move his body. Regarding his son's request, Xu Fuqing naturally agreed.

However, Xu Fuqing is still a little puzzled about this so-called glass. What glass is, Xu Fuqing actually doesn't know, he only knows that glass is very precious, not a rich and noble family, it is impossible to have it. As the saying goes, knowing a son is better than a father, Xu Fuqing knows very well that his son has never had the opportunity to touch glass. Whether it is in Weizhen Fort or Pingyu City, there is no glass at all.

However, how could his son know how to make glass? How can a person who has never even seen glass know how to make glass? However, when his son discussed with himself, when it came to the manufacturing method of glass, it was really similar, and even Xu Fuqing himself felt that the formula should be correct. The point is, where did his son get the formula? His previous words are not very credible!

At this moment, Xu Fuqing couldn't help but ask in wonder: "Xia'er, the formula of this glass, is it really what Miss Azhu told you?" Not someone else? ”

Xu Xingxia said: "Of course! Otherwise, how would I know? ”

He knew that if he got the formula of the glass out, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of many people. That's right, it is true that the previous "he" had never seen glass, and it was impossible to know that the formula of glass existed. Even, the vast majority of businessmen know that no one understands the formula of glass in the entire Ming Dynasty. Because, all the glass is imported from Fujian Yuegang. If you don't have a suitable excuse, I'm afraid that you will be treated as a monster by others. After all, this thing is too weird.

Fortunately, there was a mysterious Azhu girl in Weizhenbao, which made Xu Xingxia easily find an excuse. At this time, Zhu Zhizhi is the best shield. Zhu Zhizhi's unknown identity can completely transfer all suspicions about Xu Xingxia. Her true identity is already very eye-catching.

Xu Fuqing is not stupid, and he can roughly guess a thing or two about Zhu Zhizhi's identity. As Zhu Zhizhi, she seems to know the formula of glass, and there should be no big problem. Every time Xu Xingxia threw Zhu Zhizhi out, he could only passively accept it. What a scruple! Xu Xingxia's scruples about Zhu Zhizhi's identity do not mean that he is not scruples as a father. That's the topmost figure of the Ming Dynasty! Where did he dare to question?

As for why Miss Azhu knows the formula of glass, but the Ming Dynasty itself does not produce glass, and all glass has to rely on imports, Xu Xingxia's explanation is absolutely justified: "Dad, what is the identity of others?" How can you care about such a small amount of money? You see that others give Chunlan and Qiulan thousands of taels of silver, and others are not short of money at all! Besides, if their family produces their own glass, wouldn't they compete with the people for profit? This is to be attacked by the speakers, they don't want to provoke others, of course they have to be careful! ”

was fooled by his eldest son for a while, half-truths and half-truths, Xu Fuqing was completely relieved. Think about it, how much money can you make by selling glass? What is Miss Azhu's identity, how can she care about such a small amount of money? As for what to compete with the people for profit, what kind of official attacks, the old man doesn't understand, but listening to his son say this, it seems that it is indeed the same thing. It seems that the formula of this glass is indeed given by Miss Azhu to her eldest son.

However, Miss Azhu was willing to hand over the formula of the glass to Xu Xingxia, what does this mean? Xu Fuqing couldn't help but think a little cranky. He is a responsible person, and he knows best that in this world, there is no love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason. Miss Azhu and her eldest son just met in Pingshui and met occasionally, and such a precious formula of glass could not be given to her eldest son for nothing, right? It's ...... To be honest, Xu Fuqing felt that it was unrealistic for his eldest son's toad to want to eat swan meat. After all, the identities of both sides are there, it's a difference between heaven and earth! Even if Xu Xingxia becomes the chief military officer, it is out of reach. It's just that Xu Xingxia insists on making his own decisions about his marriage, and the two of them are not easy to interfere with. Anyway, let him toss it himself. If you hit a wall, you may change your mind.

However, he, as a father, can't ignore the marriage of his eldest son! Even if Xu Xingxia really likes Miss Azhu, then she has to speed up the progress! If this can't be done, then hurry up and change the object of a blind date! Don't put it off! Don't be over 20 years old and haven't started a family yet, then it's not very good-looking.

At that time, as long as there were conditions, which of the young people got married after the age of twenty? Unless the family is so poor that no one wants to get married. Many young people in their twenties already have two or three children. Xu Fuqing couldn't help but said sullenly: "Xia'er, Miss Azhu has been back to the capital for so long......"

Xu Xingxia interrupted his father's speech at the right time, staggered the topic and said, "Dad, the glass workshop will be handed over to you." It is best to have samples come out in the first month of next year. I've told a lot of big businessmen that at the beginning of next year, there will be a lot of glass handed over to them. If I can't do it, I'll be gossiped about behind my back. ”

Xu Fuqing's thinking was suddenly pulled back, and he said eagerly: "As long as there is no problem with your formula, I will definitely have no problem here." ”

Xu Xingxia was relieved, and said with a smile: "Then thank you Dad." ”

If his father is not up to such an errand, he has nothing to say. As a son, you can't say that your father is incompetent, right? That's too unfilial, and it will make your father heartbroken. Alas, being a son is sometimes not easy. To earn money to support the family, to honor the parents, to love the wife, to raise the children...... Xu Fuqing couldn't help but ask, "...... Miss Azhu go back to the capital?"

Before the words were finished, Xu Xingxia had already run away. Xu Fuqing had no choice but to smile bitterly, clean up his mood, and go to the glass workshop. His eldest son was deliberately avoiding the topic of Miss Azhu, of course he could see it. However, his eldest son is so stubborn, he really has nothing to do, so he has to take one step at a time.

Xu Xingxia is indeed deliberately avoiding this topic. No way, he really didn't know what to say. Telling lies to fool his father, I'm so sorry for the old man. It's better to say nothing than to lie. Zhu Yuzhi went back to the capital, that is, it was as deep as the sea in Houmen, and Xu Lang was a passerby from then on. According to convention, the fate of her marriage is not in her own hands, but in the hands of those around her.

It wasn't going to be easy for him to pull her out of the high walls. Now he doesn't even have the opportunity to talk to the people around her on an equal footing. Zhu Zhizhi can talk to him on an equal footing, but the people around her are absolutely impossible. He has to work hard, try to get this opportunity. If he has the ability to talk to them condescendingly, so much the better. None of this is realistic, though.

Condescendingly talking to the people around her, what kind of identity does it have to be? Well, identity is useless anymore. At that point, what both sides value is not their respective identities, but the strength behind them. This is indeed a very realistic and cruel question. However, the reality is so cruel. He must have great power to be qualified to talk to them on an equal footing. How great is this power? A conservative estimate is so big that everyone around her feels trembling!

In previous dynasties, there were always nomadic leaders who forcibly courted the emperor of the Han family to marry the princess of the Han dynasty. What do they rely on? Not their identity, of course, but their strength. They all have the strength to make the emperor of the Han family jealous. In order to curry favor with them, the emperor of the Han family had no choice but to agree to their request.

"Try! You can do it! Xu Xingxia secretly encouraged himself.

Constantly increasing his strength, not only to pull her out of the inner courtyard of the deep palace, but more importantly, he can freely control his own destiny. Whether it is the fate of marriage or other aspects, he must be firmly in his own hands.

…… Xu Fuqing's loss was only for a short time. Because, he soon got busy, and Miss Azhu's affairs were forgotten. According to the formula given by Xu Xingxia, Xu Fuqing has a lot to do. First of all, it is necessary to find a suitable porcelain kiln that specializes in firing glass. Second, find a craftsman you can trust and keep the glass recipe a secret. Thirdly, it is necessary to be able to collect raw materials from the local area. The less people know about the whole process, the better. The better the person who knows the glass, the better the secrecy will be.

For the eldest son's thousands of instructions, Xu Fuqing certainly didn't dare to be careless. It's a big deal, and he has to do it well. A son cannot disappoint his father, and how can a father disappoint his son? His son is so good, of course a father can't lag behind! With his legs that had not yet healed, he was looking for a suitable place at the foot of Helan Mountain. Getting up early and feeling dark, no matter how hard it is, he bears it silently.

Eventually, Xu Fuqing led people to excavate a tile kiln in the northwest of Zhenshuo Fort, in a hidden valley in Helan Mountain. After careful treatment, this tile kiln has become the main place for melting glass raw materials and condensing glass blanks. As for how to polish the glass and how to divide the glass, this is all a matter for later. What Xu Fuqing has to do now is to condense the first piece of glass first.
