Although Fang Yizhi has never heard the words "you are awesome", he feels that it should be a compliment to himself, and he still feels sweet in his heart!

Fang Yizhi read the drawings carefully and asked Gu Heng if he didn't understand anything during the process. Only then did he basically understand the entire process of glass manufacturing.

After Fang Yizhi pondered for a moment, he said: "There is a glazed imperial kiln near Furong Mountain in Jinling City, which was specially used to build glazed components for royal buildings such as Nanjing Ming Palace and Nanjing Dabaoen Temple Tower. If we can start from there,

Invite craftsmen and we should be able to make the special kiln you mentioned."

"So, I will trouble you to hire craftsmen for me. As for the venue, Qixia Mountain is sparsely populated. We can open up another venue nearby!" Gu Heng said seriously.

"That's not bad, but if this glass is made, it will definitely be a huge profit. Can you let me continue to cooperate with you?" Fang Yizhi suddenly asked.

"Yes, with one more person to cooperate, I can take less risks!" Gu Heng agreed readily.

Gu Heng actually knew that this was Fang Yizhi trying to protect himself. This brothel girl was quite profitable in business. Without anyone to protect her, she could easily be coveted by people with ulterior motives!

"I suddenly remembered a person. If this person can help, I think you are more likely to succeed in making glass!" Fang Yizhi suddenly suggested.

"Who?" Gu Heng asked immediately.

"This man once mentioned the Jinling Glazed Royal Kiln in his book "Tiangong Kaiwu", as well as the manufacturing methods and processes of colored glaze. Moreover, he is very proficient in Western scientific knowledge. Regarding the agriculture of the Ming Dynasty,

He is very familiar with handicrafts, such as machinery, bricks and tiles, ceramics, sulfur, candles, paper, weapons, gunpowder, textiles, dyeing, salt making, coal mining, oil extraction, etc. He is a person who has truly read a lot of books and then understands them all!"

"Yes, especially his mechanical attainments. I also admire him very much. His "Machine" chapter describes in detail agricultural machinery and tools including vertical shaft windmills, sugar carts, cattle-turning rope pulleys, etc., which are of extremely high value.

"I helped Xiao Gu use the pressing method to make perfume, and the pressing machine was based on the structure of his vertical-axis windmill." Bo Jue couldn't help but add.

After hearing the descriptions given by Fang Yizhi and Bo Jue, Gu Heng also remembered that they were talking about Song Yingxing!

Song Yingxing was a true science and technology generalist in the late Ming Dynasty. He knew everything and could summarize it!

His main contribution is that he made a summary of the knowledge of agricultural production and handicraft production that has appeared in China for thousands of years. He also made a summary of technical experience and systematized it.

Organize it, and then write it down into a book so that it can be passed down.

"Tiangong Kaiwu" is called "the encyclopedia of the seventeenth century"!

The most important thing is that Song Yingxing has studied deeply in biology, physics, and chemistry, and has an experimental spirit and the ability to control variables in experiments.

Song Yingxing's analysis of the separation and combination methods of metals and compounds shows that Song Yingxing has paid great attention to a large number of chemical reactions. He understands the interaction between various material components in chemical reactions, and the relationship between various material components before and after chemical reactions.

He has the idea of ​​​​"conservation of mass". Then he may be able to guide Bo Jue in terms of the proportion of ingredients in the early stage of glass manufacturing!

He also recorded examples of farmers cultivating new varieties of rice and barley in "Tiangong Kaiwu". He himself studied the effects of soil, climate, and cultivation methods on changes in crop varieties, and also noticed the variation caused by the hybridization of different varieties of silkworm moths.

This situation shows that through human efforts, the variety characteristics of animals and plants can be changed, and the scientific insight is reached that "the soil veins vary over the ages, and the species characteristics vary with the water and soil."

He is so familiar with all kinds of crops, and if he is asked to study the cultivation and vigorous planting of high-yielding food crops in different environments, he will definitely be a good expert!

Gu Heng recalled carefully, and then thought that Song Yingxing was still alive and well. It was the twelfth year of Chongzhen. He seemed to be an official (eighth grade) in Tingzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province, serving as a subordinate officer of the Provincial Observer Envoy and in charge of a government.

The prison, commonly known as the prison hall, is also called the manager. It was only in the 13th year of Chongzhen that he resigned and returned to his hometown!

Thinking of this, Gu Heng's eyes shone and he said to Fang Yizhi: "Do you have any way to contact Mr. Song Yingxing? I once heard that he seems to be working as a promotion official in Tingzhou, Fujian!"

"I, I'm not sure, but I would like to write a letter to tell him that you and I plan to make Western glass, admire his knowledge, and want to get his help." Fang Yizhi said.

"This is not enough, you have to explain to him clearly why we do what we do!"

After saying that, Gu Heng told Fang Yizhi and Bo Jue what he told Gu Yanwu that day! Including the power of the world, and how to prosper the world, we must focus on the three things of "money", "people" and "power".

Let’s start with the big picture.

Finally, Gu Heng also reminded Fang Yizhi: "We must make it clear to Mr. Song that we are doing all this because "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." Regardless of success or failure, we have no regrets!"

After listening to Gu Heng's words, both Fang Yizhi and Bo Jue were moved.

Fang Yizhi sincerely praised Gu Heng: "Mei'er, although you are a woman and you were born in a brothel, you have the world in mind, you are well-read, you are extremely intelligent, you have a very thorough analysis of the general situation of the world, and you have unique solutions.

Although I am a man and have read a lot of poems and books, I feel inferior to him!"

Bo Jue also praised: "Yes, at first I thought that Miss Gu was just a businesswoman who only wanted to make money and was only interested in profit, and she might have some means to win over people's hearts. Later I found out that Miss Gu not only has great talents, but also has

With great ambition, I will definitely become a woman before men in the future, and my name will go down in history!"

Gu Heng was very embarrassed by the praise and quickly changed the subject: "You are so flattering! Let's go back to the original issue of perfume and make more money with the perfume that has been produced."

"Okay, what do you need me to do?" Fang Yizhi asked actively.

"Mr. Fang, aren't you going to the capital in a while? A few days before departure, take this perfume and two other things with you, and go to the capital to make a lot of money!" Gu Hengdao.

"Okay, no problem, what are the other two things?" Fang Yizhi asked.

"I'm going to have a look at the textile workshop later. Just follow me and you'll find out!" Gu Heng said with a smile.

"Okay then!" Fang Yizhi said, and faced Bo Jue again, "Zijue, I will go ahead with Hengbo. I will take care of the craftsmen and sites for glass production in the next few days, as well as the materials.

I will also get these. If you need anything during this period, you can tell me directly."

After hearing what Fang Yizhi said, Bo Jue couldn't help but look at Gu Heng. Gu Heng also looked confused after hearing this, and hurriedly asked Fang Yizhi: "You have done many of my things, then I will do it

What?"

Unexpectedly, Fang Yizhi replied: "Hengbo, you are working so hard, I feel very sorry for you! I am still in Jinling during this time, can I help a little to make it easier for you? Besides, when I go to the capital, I will

I can't see you anymore, you..."

"Okay, stop talking, Mr. Fang, let's leave quickly!" Gu Heng was shocked by Fang Yizhi! He quickly interrupted Fang Yizhi's rambling and urged him to leave quickly.

After Gu Heng also warned Bo Jue, he asked Fang Yizhi to follow him!

Bo Jue looked at the two people's retreating figures in the sun, smiled, and said to himself: "I hope it's not the falling flowers intentionally, but the flowing water unintentional!" After saying that, he shook his head and went back to study the specific methods and processes of glass manufacturing.
Chapter completed!
