Chu Qing was deeply afraid that the people from the Punishment Department would come back to kill him later, so he ignored the examination and kept urging.
After half an hour, it was finally over.
The men and horses from Qianqi Camp arrived, each carrying several cloth bags.
The men and horses from the Qianqi Camp left, leaving a mess on the ground and more than twenty people under the Zhang family with their skins and flesh torn to pieces.
Chu Qing led a large group of people back, the smell of meat filling his nostrils.
Glancing back, the more Chu Qing looked, the more he felt that everyone and the Japanese had just raided some village. Many of the detectives' bags were full of roasted chicken and grilled fish.
There are also horse-drawn and ox-carts "friendly sponsored" by the Ministry of Punishment at the back. They are all made of blue bricks with patterns. The plaques have been removed because Fu San thought they were gilded, and the plaques are made of copper and are worth two cents.
, before leaving, the third brother also searched the purses of those servants of the Zhang family.
Chu Qing began to sigh, the third brother was becoming more and more careful in his work.
After returning to the government office, everyone began to check. Ma Ang, the head of the household department who was seconded by the Ministry of Punishment, also came back and started recording with a ledger and pen.
Jiang Yuesheng came back first and brought back the two unlucky merchants among the top ten merchants in Beijing and threw them into the dungeon.
Chu Qing entered the dungeon without any communication with the two merchants. He followed the old rules and arranged the recipes.
For breakfast, half a catty of wolfberry and half a catty of ginger, eat them raw. You must have a full meal at noon. Two pounds of wolfberry sashimi and dry-fried longan. Don’t overeat. Add a large basin of hot water. You can’t repeat it in the evening. After all, we are all decent people, my mother.
Stew red dates in chicken soup, add two ginseng seeds, simmer over low heat for an hour, three meals a day to maintain quality and quantity.
Glancing at the two merchants in the prison, Chu Qing was deeply impressed. At the Zhang Mansion's night banquet, these two old men were rosy and energetic, but now they looked haggard and had lost more than ten kilograms.
Chu Qing showed no mercy at all. After returning to the class room, he stretched himself and prepared to catch up on his sleep.
Since he started researching Zhang Songling, Chu Qing found that he had not taken a nap for a long time. This bad habit is not recommended. Now is the time to grow, so there is no need to be careless.
After closing the door and window, Chu Qing was just lying on the bed getting ready for a good sleep when Jiang Yuesheng walked in with the account book.
"The statistics are ready."
"How much is it worth?"
"More than 7,000 guan in cash and other belongings..."
Jiang Yuesheng didn't know what to say. He had done it before by ransacking a house, but this was the first time he'd ever pulled out someone's floor tiles. There was no way to put a price on this thing.
"You should have twenty thousand guan." Jiang Yuesheng was quite excited: "Especially those glazed treasures should be worth a lot of money."
Chu Qing's face was filled with doubts: "Is that crap worth anything? How much is it worth?"
"Even the general doesn't know it. The value should be very high, at least thirty thousand coins are not worth it."
"Are they so valuable?" Chu Qing was dubious: "Glazed products are not common?"
"It's not common. There are some craftsmen who are proficient in glazed treasures on the south side of Weijiang River. However, this item is fragile and inconvenient to transport, so it is very expensive in the capital. In recent years, many envoys have paid tribute to this item, and some have been leaked out. It's just the quantity.
not much."
"I see."
Chu Qing's eyes started to shine. I don't understand Liuli, but we can pirate it.
"I want to go out."
Thinking of this, Chu Qing got excited, ran out of the squad room and called Fu San, got on the carriage and went straight to Tao's Village outside the city.
Chu Qing in the carriage was talking to himself, chattering endlessly, talking about some words that Fu San couldn't understand at all, such as ingredients, quartz, and other things to trick these bastards in Beijing.
After arriving at Taojiazhuangzi, Chu Qing and his wife were warmly welcomed by the farmers. Now that the autumn harvest has just passed, the fields are full of busy farmers, and even the eleven or twelve-year-old children are bending down to harvest.
When Chu Qing entered the red-brick courtyard, Tao Ruolin had just had a full sleep. Her two big eyes were a little straight, obviously she hadn't slept enough when Bihua woke her up.
Stretching and yawning, Tao Ruolin tilted her head and sat on the stone bench.
With a smile on his face, Chu Qing just stared at Tao Ruolin who was slowly coming back to her senses.
After a full minute, Tao Ruolin's dilated pupils slowly focused and she revealed a sweet smile: "You're here."
Chu Qing suddenly felt envious of Tao Ruolin, or some kind of inexplicable longing.
Sleep when you want, don't think about time, live lazily, slowly, aimlessly, live simply.
"It depends on what others do and what they want from me."
"Oh, that's right." Chu Qing came back to his senses and was very excited, and his mouth was filled with excitement: "Let's fuck him once... No, let's fuck him once!"
"What other crazy idea did you come up with?"
"Make money." Chu Qing rubbed his hands and lowered his voice: "How about I come up with the idea and you let the bankers contribute."
Tao Ruolin became interested, like a little money addict: "How much can I earn?"
"I don't know, but it must be 100,000 yuan."
Tao Ruolin slapped the table with both hands: "Old rules, 50-50 split."
"No problem." Chu Qing said cheerfully, knowing that Tao Ruolin would agree.
Looking back at Fu San, Chu Qing nodded.
Fu San took out a long, gecko-like glazed rabbit from his bag.
"Liu Li?" Tao Ruolin looked at Chu Qing, her beautiful eyes moving: "Do you still know how to make colored glaze?"
"It's not colored glaze, it's glass."
In fact, Chu Qing also had a flash of inspiration.
He had also thought about how to make a fortune before. It was not that he had not considered glass, but according to the history he learned in later generations, glass had been invented by the ancients very early, more than 3,700 BC.
The ancient Egyptians already had mature technology, but they only had colored glass and simple glassware.
As for the Chinese civilization, some people have accidentally made glass, but it was relatively simple low-temperature lead-barium glass.
Due to the chemical composition and firing temperature, the pants will explode when exposed to hot water, so there is no point in trying to fix it.
The glass in the West is soda-lime glass, which has poor transparency, but is solid and durable, and at least does not explode when exposed to heat.
Chu Qing also thought that there was glass in the Chang Dynasty. Although it was not common, it should be there. After all, even more complex ceramic techniques had been developed, let alone glass.
As a result, I just asked Fukusan, who said that he had only heard of colored glaze, but not glass, nor anything like this.
"I'll teach you how to do it. I may not remember the details clearly, so I need you, the Tao family, to try it out slowly."
Chu Qing took out a thousand silver notes from his sleeve: "This money is used to buy raw materials. It must be kept secret and no one can know about it."
"Liu Li, glass?" Tao Ruolin was so smart that she hit the key point in one sentence: "Do you know how to imitate?"
"It's not an imitation, it's similar."
Asking for paper and pen, Chu Qing began to write while talking.
In fact, with the industrial level of Chang Dynasty, Chu Qing could think of many things, but the hardware conditions did not support it. As for the hardware conditions that supported it, it would not make much money. However, with the existing technical conditions, things like glass are easy to make.
manufactured.
The raw materials are very simple, quartz sand, limestone, feldspar, and soda ash.
Quartz sand is the particles of crushed quartz stone. It is not just sand. In addition to silica particles, there are also impurities of other oxide minerals.
This thing is not too common. Ceramics are made of this material.
Limestone is more common and is used to paint walls.
Feldspar is a rock-forming mineral in surface rocks and an important raw material for ceramics.
Only soda ash is more difficult to handle. It is actually called sodium carbonate. In the Chang Dynasty, it was called stone soda or soda ash. It is used in many leather products. It is generally found in salt lakes and the output is very low.
After talking about the materials, Chu Qing explained the general manufacturing process again, which is nothing more than ingredients, melting, molding and final annealing.
Tao Ruolin understood it, and precisely because she understood it, she was a little suspicious.
It’s not very complicated. Can you make money?
"Can this thing called glass really make you money?"
"That's necessary. There was a guy named Columbus who took a lot of glass beads and traveled to South America to exchange them for gold."
Chu Qing smiled treacherously. In his eyes, the big bosses in Beijing are just a group of South American natives!
