Chapter 10 Who among the time travelers doesn’t know how to burn glass?

"If you want to practice magical skills, bring your sword from the palace!"

This secret book is none other than "The Sunflower Book".

I don’t know exactly how Jiajing practices, he is just a fake martial artist who plagiarized.

Transcribing it carefully, Jiajing pointed to the secret book that was not yet dry and said: "Lv Fang, I got this from the old immortal. It is suitable for your cultivation. Take it and take a look!"

With trembling hands, Lu Fang carefully picked up the royal writing paper, with tears in her eyes: "Long live my Lord, I'm not worthy of this slave..."

Jiajing put his hands behind his back, held his head high, and said with full force: "The King of Huainan has achieved Taoism, and the chickens and dogs in his family have ascended to heaven. Since I have won the fate of immortality, how can I miss you. When I get to the immortal world, I still want you, Lu Fang, to serve me."

"Long live the Lord..."

Lu Fang prostrated herself on the ground while holding the "Sunflower Collection" in her hands.

"Okay, is there any clue to the transparent glaze that Liulichang made a few days ago?" Jiajing asked.

Make money! Make money! Still make money!

Jiajing's mind is now full of money, and Wang Chongyang is about to become a devout believer.

Mouth Escape also depends on the timing and cannot be used lightly.

Now they are short of food and soldiers. If a large amount of materials were thrown over them, wouldn't this faith value be easily obtained?

"Back to Lord Long Live, I've been watching Liuli's affairs every day. I already have a clue, but it's just not perfect yet."

The Liulichang located in Xuannan was a product of the Ming Dynasty when Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, was in power. After the capital was moved to Beijing, houses had to be built, and a lot of them had to be built. The Liulichang was specially used to produce glazed tiles and glazed structures for the imperial palace.

Liuli, also known as colored glass, has a firing history of more than 2,000 years in China.

As long as the craftsmanship is improved, it can become a treasure.

The world's first glass mirror was born in Venice, the "Kingdom of Glass".

It is made by coating the glass with a layer of mercury.

The Venetian mirror caused a sensation in Europe and became a very fashionable thing.

European princes, nobles, and wealthy dignitaries rushed to buy mirrors. When Queen Marie de Medicis of France got married, the King of Venice gave her a small glass mirror as a congratulatory gift.

This was considered a very precious gift at the time, with a value of up to 150,000 francs.

The method of making mirrors is a secret in Venice.

They also enacted a law that anyone who leaked the secret of making glass mirrors to foreigners would be punished immediately by death.

Later, the French ambassador in Venice suddenly received a secret letter from Paris, telling him to do everything possible to bribe a few Venetian mirror technicians and smuggle them to France.

The French ambassador worked hard and finally completed his mission. In 1666, France's first mirror factory appeared in Normandy, France.

And now, it is only 1561.

Isn't this mercury mirror more profitable than silk?

Glass craft! It’s simple. Add manganese dioxide to colored glass to make transparent glass.

As for what manganese dioxide was called in ancient times, it was called soil and was used in the production of paint and lacquerware.

After refining the transparent glass, stick a piece of tin foil tightly on the flat glass, and then pour mercury on it. Because mercury can dissolve tin and turn it into a viscous silver-white liquid, this material sticks to the glass.

It became a mercury mirror.

Although it is a little bit poisonous, it makes money!

Make money without being shabby!

It sounds simple, but actually doing it is extremely difficult.

After more than half a month of tinkering, the master craftsmen of Liulichang finally delivered a small piece of mirror as big as a palm to the palace.

At the same time, Yang Jinshui, the eunuch in charge of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and the Zhejiang Shipping Department, hurriedly and slowly returned to the capital.

Yang Jinshui sat on the horse, still panting. Beijing was still chilly in early spring, but there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

The two attendants tried hard to help him down, but they still couldn't move his legs.

Riding a horse is a physical activity.

With the support of his entourage, he limped towards Yuxi Palace.

Suddenly, Yang Jinshui looked straight ahead, his lame feet froze.

There was also a thin figure with a broken hip, wearing a long blue coarse cloth gown and flat black cloth shoes, looking like a Taoist priest at home.

It's him!

Yang Jinshui was shocked.

At this time, the fourth-grade eunuch who was waiting personally helped Yang Jinshui to the big blue cloth sedan and opened the curtain for him.

Yang Jinshui did not get on the sedan, but held his wrist and came closer, asking in a low voice: "Why did the emperor ask me to come back? What did the ancestors say?"

The fourth-grade eunuch shook his head: "My ancestor is a Bodhisattva, as you know. It is said that we, the chief ceremonial supervisor, could not hear even a shred of holy thoughts from this old man."

Yang Jinshui was at a loss. He was stunned and couldn't get into the sedan chair.

The fourth-grade eunuch said: "Eunuch Yang, our ancestor is waiting for you in the Supervisor of Ceremonies at this time!"

Yang Jinshui suddenly lost his composure and struggled to get into the sedan by pressing the arm of the fourth-grade eunuch.

Within a quarter of an hour, Yang Jinshui's sedan arrived at the courtyard of the Supervisor's Room.

"Godfather!" Yang Jinshui shouted sincerely when he was still at the door, walked into the check-in room door and ran straight to Lu Fang who was sitting there, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times.

"Get up." Lu Fang's voice was still calm.

Yang Jinshui got up, picked up the tea bowl from the coffee table next to him, and sent it over with both hands. The inquiry in his eyes was as if he was waiting for trial.

Lu Fang sat quietly. In fact, it didn't take long, but Yang Jinshui's hand holding the tea bowl began to tremble slightly.

"You drank." Lu Fang finally said this.

This sentence fell like a sound in Yang Jinshui's ears!

When a foreign eunuch comes to Beijing to see Lu Fang, he usually knows how favored he is when he offers a bowl of tea: if Lu Fang refuses to accept the tea, he will be punished by being demoted, imprisoned, or killed.

, it’s all in Lu Fang’s next words.

The tea was handed to Lu Fang. If he took it and drank it, it would be safe and sound, and he would go back to his errand.

If Lu Fang rewards the person who offers tea to drink the remaining bowl of tea, this is the courtesy of treating him as his own son!

Therefore, when Yang Jinshui heard Lu Fang tell him to drink half the bowl of tea, his eyes immediately shone. When he opened the bowl, his hands couldn't stop shaking. He looked very excited and drank the tea in one gulp.

After drinking tea, Yang Jinshui slowly squatted down next to Lu Fang's legs and began to beat them lightly and heavily. His face looked up at Lu Fang with infinite attachment: "Godfather...it's been four years...you see me again."

Already..."

When I said this, I really started crying.

Lu Fang reached out and touched Yang Jinshui's head, opened her mouth and laughed: "Don't be nervous, go wash your face and change your clothes. I will take you to see the emperor now."

Yang Jinshui trembled with fright: "Now... I will see the emperor now... I... I saw Shen Yishi... will..."

After Lu Fang stood up, her spine seemed to be straightened a bit, and her eyes were slightly shining: "You haven't hid anything from me, and I naturally won't hide anything from the emperor. Let's go, we can't keep the emperor waiting for too long."

It's called meeting the emperor, but actually you can't see him.

According to the rules, Yang Jinshui could only kneel outside the gauze curtain between the main hall and the monastery. Perhaps because he washed his face and changed his clothes, but also because he felt confident, he looked upright and solemn when he knelt there.

Three feet away from him, Shen Yishi knelt down tremblingly.

"Show it to them." Jiajing's voice came from inside.

"Yes, long live the Lord!"

Lu Fang brought a mirror wrapped with exquisite patterns to the two of them.

"How much is this kind of mirror worth?" Jiajing asked again.

Yang Jinshui and Shen Yishi raised their heads slightly, paused on the mirror for a while, and then looked at each other in tacit understanding, each shocked...
