I wrote down the materials and rough steps needed to make glass, and designed a set of experimental procedures based on the current productivity. After several modifications, I was satisfied.
It was already getting late, so he stopped running around. He hid this priceless manuscript in a book and went to Sun Simiao's yard.
There are many things that I have to discuss with my master before he can feel at ease.
Sun Simiao was also very happy when he told the eldest grandson Wugou what he meant, and said: "Okay, okay, I can rest assured that the matter has been settled with the words of the empress."
Chen Jingke is not like this. No matter how many times Li Shimin and Changsun Wugu make promises, as long as they are not formally confirmed, there is a possibility of repetition.
"Then who do you think is more suitable to be the matchmaker?"
Sun Simiao pondered for a while and said: "I do know some elders from the gentry clan, but the relationship between the royal family and the gentry clan is quite tense, so they cannot be used."
"The only ones who have good relations with us and have sufficient status are Su Guogong, Yi Guogong and Hu Guogong. It is best for the matchmaker to choose one from the three."
Chen Jingke couldn't help but nod, these three people were the first thing he thought of.
Sun Simiao added: "I think Duke Yi is better. He seems to have no power now that he has succeeded and retired, and his status is more transcendent. He is the most suitable to be this matchmaker."
Chen Jingke thought about it and it was indeed the case, and said, "Okay, let Uncle Qin go."
Sun Simiao immediately said: "Well, I will ask Duke Yi to come over tomorrow to discuss it."
Chen Jingke said quickly: "Don't worry about the marriage proposal. I'm preparing to create a treasure as a betrothal gift. When I master the craftsmanship, I will propose marriage."
Sun Simiao didn't expect that at such a critical time, he would get into trouble, and asked helplessly: "Is this treasure very precious?"
Chen Jingke said proudly: "Let's put it this way, all the gold mines in the Tang Dynasty combined can't make money as fast as this one."
Sun Simiao was shocked. He naturally believed in his disciple. This boy had countless new things in his mind, but he was shocked just because he believed.
It’s more profitable than all the gold mines in the world put together. This thing might kill a lot of people.
Thinking of this, he quickly asked: "Can this thing be batch-produced?"
"Yes." Chen Jingke explained: "I only know the general production method. It will take some time to explore before I can come up with mature technology."
Sun Simiao immediately said: "Don't study in private, go to the empress, tell her everything, and ask her to find someone and a place for you to study."
Chen Jingke said somewhat unhappily: "Why, I want to give them a surprise."
Sun Simiao was so angry that he cursed: "It's more of a surprise than a shock. Do you believe that when something is built, all the people who have helped you study it will disappear?"
"Even all the people who helped you collect materials will disappear together, including their family members."
Chen Jingke said hesitantly: "Isn't that true? The method of making this thing looks simple, but in fact it is very difficult. People who don't know how to make it can't make it even if the materials are given to them."
Sun Simiao said helplessly: "The things are too valuable. For a saint, he would rather kill them by mistake than take any risk."
"Even if we don't kill them, they will all be imprisoned and their children and grandchildren will not be free. This is not a good thing for them."
Chen Jingke finally understood and said fearfully: "I understand. Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise it will lead to a big mistake again."
Sun Simiao said weakly: "You...forget it, I'm too lazy to say anything. Mrs. Wu can wake up at any time. When she wakes up, I will arrange the marriage between you and Mrs. Wu right away. With her watching, I can rest assured."
Some."
Chen Jingke flattered him and said, "Isn't this still yours, master? I said you can live a long life of two decades, so I can't be wrong about that."
Sun Simiao said angrily: "Even if I could live for two decades, if I meet an ignorant apprentice like you, my life will be shortened by forty years."
Chen Jingke smiled and said: "Hey, how can you do that? You will definitely live longer as long as I respect you."
Sun Simiao was really helpless towards this apprentice. After living together for so long, he knew this apprentice very well.
It’s not that he is really stupid, the problem lies in his personality, he always gets carried away with himself. It is normal at ordinary times, but once he encounters something he is proud of, his IQ will be cut in half.
Moreover, when the mood arises, he acts very impulsively and recklessly, without regard for the consequences.
In the future, we need to provide him with key education in this aspect and let him cultivate his mind and temper.
Seeing that his master didn't speak, Chen Jingke also knew what was going on. He felt regretful and impulsive.
I had this problem in my previous life, and I suffered a lot of losses before I changed slightly. I didn't expect that not only did I not become mature after time travel, but I went back.
He didn't know how many times he had complained about this time-travel trip. If he could, he would like to leave a negative review. If he could increase the number of times, he would like it to be 10,000 times.
Scratching his head, he shamelessly changed the subject and said, "What about that? Have you allocated the five hundred places?"
Sun Simiao sighed, and did not hold on to the matter just now. He followed his words and said: "I have written letters to the leaders of each faction to discuss the matter. It will take at least a month before the quota can be determined."
"The mission to the South will not be until the beginning of next year at the earliest. You don't have to be in a hurry. Just keep your feet on the ground and go step by step."
Chen Jingke nodded and said, "Just look at the arrangements. I'm just asking. We have plenty of time to complete these plans. I'm not in a hurry."
Sun Simiao glared at him dissatisfied.
The problem with this apprentice was that he had lofty ideals, which resulted in suffering for him as a master.
If the apprentice makes a plan and the master implements it, is there any heavenly principle?
But fortunately, when he gets married to Mrs. Wu, he can feel more relaxed. It can be seen that Mrs. Wu is a person who is unwilling to be lonely, and he is a perfect match for his apprentice.
…
Early the next morning, Chen Jingke found Zhang Guangrui, the warehouse manager, and asked him to organize five small courtyards in the outer courtyard.
Considering that it is for family members, it is specially arranged in a corner so that their martial arts training and the like will not affect other people.
Zhang Guangrui is very familiar with this kind of thing. When he heard that he was asked to clean up the yard, he knew that a new person was coming, so he immediately had a full set of things prepared.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, Zongzheng Temple officials sent five generals and their families over.
Chen Jingke signed to accept it, and these five families became his servants, or to be precise, they became Princess Jinyang's servants.
Their deeds belong to Princess Jinyang, and Chen Jingke only has the right to use them.
It can be seen from the salutes and clothes of these five families that they lived a good life before.
If you think about it, you will realize that this is normal. If their lives were not good, how could they be loyal to the Lord?
So they were relatively calm about the new house, not as excited as those before.
Moreover, these five people took the initiative to identify Chen Jingke as their master, with a respectful attitude.
Chen Jingke had a detailed understanding of them.
The five people are named Xu Shanying, Yan Feng, Wang Busi, Qi Dao, and Yuan Lin. They are all in their early thirties, when they are at their most powerful.
Xu Shanying is good at riding and shooting, and his arrow skills are accurate; Yan Feng is a shield swordsman, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in one hand, and can challenge three or five martial artists in single combat. Wang Busi, Qi Dao and Yuan Lin are all spearmen, and they can also use swords.
good.
The key is that all five of them are well-educated and literate, and they don't seem to be dull people. They fit Chen Jingke's requirements very well.
The five Xu Shanyings are also very satisfied with the current situation. They are all domestic servants selected and trained by Zongzheng Temple, and will be assigned to various princes and princesses in the future.
The status of a slave depends on the master. There are also differences between princes and princesses. The direct princess is naturally one of the best choices.
They were very happy when they learned that they were assigned to the name of Princess Jinyang. Although the person they had to protect now was not the princess herself but the quasi-consort, it didn't matter.
Chen Jingke and Chen Xiaozhen are the only disciples of the world-famous Zixiao Guan Sunzhenren. They are also famous people. Protecting him is also a very honorable job.
In the future, when you go out and brag to others, you will be able to hold your head high.
As soon as they came here, they were separated into a small courtyard, which showed that Chen Xiaozhen held them in high regard, so what else could he be dissatisfied with?
After getting to know each other, Chen Jingke gave each of them two books and said, "Your next task is to memorize the contents of these two books by heart within a month."
Xu Shanying said hesitantly: "This... Zhenren Mingjian. It's not that I'm looking for an excuse to be lazy, but that we have to protect your safety. I'm afraid we won't have much time to read."
Chen Jingke said: "Don't worry, I have other things to do in the next month, so I don't need your protection. Take advantage of this time to study the contents of these two books thoroughly."
"And in the next month, when I have time, I will also give you classes and teach you some other things. So your task will be very important, so you must be mentally prepared."
The five of them couldn't figure out what this real person wanted to do, but with his identity there, they couldn't resist, so they could only say: "Here."
Then Chen Jingke took them to a large courtyard.
Hearing the sound of reading loudly from inside the house, the five of them could guess that this was a school. While they were curious about what they were doing here, they were envious that these children could study.
Although they are literate, they are limited to literacy and have no knowledge. Naturally, they hope that their children can enter a serious school.
Chen Jingke pointed to the classroom and said: "This school is full of children of people who have made great contributions to Zixiao Temple. You have just come here and have not made any merit. Logically speaking, your children are not qualified to come in."
"But for the sake of the princess, I grant permission for your children to come here to study. I hope you will fulfill your duties and not betray my trust."
When they heard that their children could enter the school, the five of them were very excited and said in unison: "Thank you Master, I can only repay you with death for this kindness."
Chen Jingke was very satisfied with their attitude and said, "I hope you can remember what I said today."
After settling the five people, he returned to his small courtyard, took out the piece of paper with the method of making glass and went to the palace.
