Daming: An arbitrary door at the beginning shocked Zhu Yuanzhang

Zhu Xiongying explained calmly:

“In this era, the production process of glassware can not be fully mastered, most glass objects are imported from the West, the material is rare, and the merchants are pursuing profits and desperately speculating, so they can be sold at such a sky-high price.”

“In fact, the production process of glass is very simple, only with tools, a person can also carry out at home, quartz sand, limestone, feldspar and other raw materials are crushed, heated at high temperature in a pool kiln or crucible kiln, shaped by molds, and finally annealed, quenched and other processes, the processing of glass is completed.”

Jiang Ying and Lan Yu listened in the clouds.

But all understood one thing.

Square inches of dozens of taels of silver, glass more precious than gold and jade.

Indeed, it is made of these broken stones that can be found everywhere.

The corner of Lan Yu’s mouth twitched and scolded:

“mother’s! The glass used to make windows in Lao Tzu’s mansion was bought for more than 300,000 taels of silver! At that time, I also cut the price for a day to earn it, and in the end, the feelings were for those Persians to play as monkeys? ”

Jiang Ying’s expression was also wonderful.

“If His Majesty knew about this, it is estimated that Long Yan would be furious…”

“When I built the Daming Palace, it cost two or three million taels of silver to buy those glasses…”

Lan Yu gritted her teeth and said, “At that time, His Majesty bargained with me with the Persians!” Those damn foreigners, what an abominable! ”

“Two or three million taels…”

Zhu Xiongying listened to the words of the two, and his eyes were about to fall.

He knew that the glass of the Daming Palace had given a lot of money.

But I didn’t expect that there were so many!

What is the concept of more than two million taels?

Daming’s annual fiscal revenue is almost only more than 20 million taels of silver.

That’s one-tenth of a year’s tax!

So much money, just to buy a few pieces of broken glass that may cost tens of taels of silver?

Boy.

The Persians tearfully earned one-tenth of the Daming’s taxes.

Zhu Xiongying comforted

“Let the past pass, in short, when I build the factory, we Daming will no longer have to import foreigners’ glass in the future.”

“Not only that, the glass refined by the secret recipe taught by the immortals, although it is not very good, but it will definitely be much better than the Persians, when the time comes, we can not only take over the glass business of Daming, but also export to other countries to earn their silver.”

Lan Yu nodded unwillingly, grinding his teeth and saying, “In the future, it’s best not to let Lao Tzu see those Persians in Yingtianfu, otherwise you will see it once and fight once, damn it!”

Jiang Ying secretly thought that if Persia was a neighboring country of Daming, after the Holy Lord knew about this, he might directly send troops to fight over…

“Uncle, don’t be angry.” Zhu Xiongying said: “I will write down the secret recipe for refining glass, uncle first find a few workers to try, and after making a complete glass, you can start large-scale production, and when you earn enough silver, you can also consider expanding production.” ”

Lan Yu nodded, “Well, I’ll go to Wufu Street these days to find a better place, and when the glass is made, I will sell it immediately.” ”

“Well, remember to find a few teachers and make some beautiful molds, by the way, after the store opens, remember to inform me.” Zhu Xiongying instructed.

During the Ming Dynasty, there were actually very few people who bought glass for windows.

Because glass is too expensive.

So most people buy glass crafts as ornaments.

Depending on the size, a piece can be sold for hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver.

The profit can be imagined.

“Okay, I’ll send the letter to the Daming Palace then.”

Blue jade jaw head.

Zhu Xiongying found a pen and paper, recorded the glass refining process in his memory in detail, and handed it to Lan Yu.

Lan Yu carefully put the paper into his pocket, and said with a serious face: “When I turn back, I will hide the secret recipe in the mansion, and arrange guards to guard it day and night.” ”

The matter of the glass workshop is also considered to be over.

Zhu Xiongying was inconvenient to stay outside the palace for too long, so he took out any door and prepared to leave.

Lan Yu was in a trance, suddenly startled, and hurriedly stopped Zhu Xiongying: “Ying’er wait a minute!” First use this immortal gate to send my uncle to Fugui Farm, and by the way, let my uncle see what kind of spring of wood? ”

“Okay.”

Zhu Xiongying shouted Fugui Farm in his heart.

I opened the door and walked in.

He looked around and saw many farmers tending to their fields.

The age of these farmers is generally not too young, and there are some people with inconvenient hands and feet.

Zhu Xiongying asked with some curiosity: “Uncle, why are there all the old people in this farm?” Although it is cheap to hire them, the efficiency of doing things is also low. ”

Lan Yu looked around and sighed

“Ying’er doesn’t know something, these farmers are not ordinary people, they are all military families who have been disbanded and returned to the fields, and most of their families have been killed by the Mengyuan Tatar disaster, and now they have nowhere to rely on and have nowhere to go, so I took them in the farm, lest they starve to death on the streets.”
