Daqin: Check in at the beginning of 18 and ask Zulong to abdicate

"There are less than five days until the scientific examination officially begins!"

The leader of the Legalists said excitedly: "There is no news of the tyrant's writing materials. It is certain that they cannot provide enough bamboo slips and wooden boxes for the imperial examination!"

The leader of Confucianism also said proudly: "In less than five days, he will mobilize all the officials, soldiers, court ladies and eunuchs in Xianyang City. It is too late to make bamboo slips and wooden boxes day and night!"

"The making of bamboo slips and mudu is a technical job!" The Mohist giant said with a proud face: "It is not enough to cut bamboo wood into bamboo chips!
Even if he can make it in time, he will definitely not be able to make a qualified bamboo slip and wooden tree! "

The leader of the Legal School couldn't help getting excited, and hurriedly said: "This is a great opportunity! This time, we must seize it!"

"Five days later, all of us who can take the imperial examination are not allowed to be absent, and we must go on time!"

The leader of the Legal School said with a serious face: "When you arrive, strictly abide by the discipline of the examination room, and behave yourself! You must not let the tyrant take advantage of it!
When the exam starts and there are no bamboo slips and wooden boxes, don't make trouble for me! "

The leader of Confucianism immediately said: "Even if we want to make trouble, we have to be reasonable and well-founded! We are scholars, we must have the bearing and demeanor of scholars!"

Hearing this, the leaders of the various schools present couldn't help feeling excited, and they were all gearing up, waiting to show their talents in the imperial examination room five days later!
Soon, intelligence personnel reported to Ying Zigao the movements of the leaders of various schools of thought!
"Is it really connected in series, ready to attack me collectively?"

Hearing the report, Ying Zigao couldn't help but sneer!
He ordered in a cold voice: "Continue to keep an eye on these guys!"

The intelligence officer hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to take further action?"

"No need!" Ying Zigao said with a cold smile, "As long as they don't do anything clearly illegal, let them go! I will give them a surprise then!"

"The general understands!" Officer Ping Bing hurriedly agreed.

After dismissing the intelligence personnel, Ying Zigao called the head craftsman again, and inquired carefully about the progress of the paper-making workshop, as well as the production of new brushes, pine ink, and inkstones.

"Your Majesty, the production of the paper workshop is going well, and the production of several other new stationery is also going well!"

The head craftsman hurriedly said: "Now we can produce 500 knives of high-quality raw-edged paper, 300 new-style brushes, 500 taels of loose ink, and 5 yuan of inkstones every day!"

"The output needs to be increased!" Ying Zigao said seriously, "The daily output of raw edge paper must reach 800 knives, and the daily output of new brushes, pine ink and inkstones must be doubled! After 5 days, it must reach 5000 knives. The needs of people's exams!"

"I understand!" the head craftsman hurriedly agreed!
The artisan leader was sent away.Ying Zigao was also relieved about the imperial examination.

The output of paper can fully meet the conditions of the imperial examination.

There is no big problem with the new stationery.

There is no longer any suspense about this matter.

Ying Zigao focused on glass making.

He left half of the good corn varieties and planned to set up a solar greenhouse for cultivation.

Now that a few months have passed, it is time to implement it quickly.

Besides, the construction of new sea-going ships is going well, and small ocean-going ships will be built and launched in the spring.

If we want to carry out maritime trade like Southeast Asia and South Asia in later generations, we must have competitive products that can be sold.

The traditional export materials that later generations of China are proud of, silk, tea, and porcelain.

Right now, tea has not yet become a drink for shooting stars in China.Porcelain is also in a primitive state, far from mature.

The only thing that can be sold is silk.If you want to make a lot of profits through overseas trade, you have to manufacture glass products that can really be sold, have advanced quality and can be sold at a price!
Although the Liuli craftsman has successfully fired the glass under his own arrangement, the color is still not pure and the quality cannot meet his requirements.

Constantly exploring for improvement.

A few months have passed, and I don't know how the effect of the improvement is!

Thinking of this, Ying Zigao called the glazed craftsman over.

Seriously asked: "I asked you to continuously study and improve the quality of the glass. In the past few months, I have been letting you explore and study, and I didn't rush you.

Are there results now? "

Hearing this, the Liuli craftsman couldn't help being shocked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have brought my apprentices to explore and improve with all my heart these days, the quality of the glass is getting better and better!

The color is getting more and more pure, and the performance is getting better and better! "

As he spoke, the Liuli craftsman took out a pine box from his pocket and held it up with both hands.

Carefully said: "This is a small glass vessel that was fired just yesterday, please take a look at it, Your Majesty!"

Ying Zigao took the pine box from the hand of the accompanying eunuch and opened it.

I saw a whole set of glass wine utensils neatly placed inside.

Seeing these crystal clear glass wine sets, Ying Zigao couldn't help but his eyes brightened.

I couldn't help but gently picked up one, put it in front of my eyes, and observed it carefully.

This glass wine set is elegant and simple in shape, pure and transparent in color, with almost no flaws and bubbles.

It looks no different from the glassware common in later generations.

"Good job!" Ying Zigao nodded, and ordered to the eunuch with him, "Bring a pot of freshly boiled hot water!"

Hearing this, Liuli craftsman couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

But it returned to normal immediately.

Seeing the normal expression on the craftsman's face, Ying Zigao couldn't help but feel relieved.

Soon, the maid came to the imperial study with a pot of steaming water.

"Pour this boiling water into this cup!" Ying Zigao ordered.

The maid lifted the iron pot and poured boiling water into the glass.

Ying Zigao began to observe carefully immediately.The glazed craftsman couldn't help raising his head, watching nervously.

Under the watchful eyes of Ying Zigao and the craftsman, steaming hot water was poured in, and there was no problem with the glass!
"Great!" Seeing that the performance of this glass is so superior, it has surpassed the inferior glass of later generations in terms of thermal expansion and contraction.

Ying Zigao couldn't help feeling excited!
Immediately said to the Liuli craftsman: "This time the glassware is very well done, I am very satisfied!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The glazed craftsman couldn't help being very excited, and said hastily.

"I have decided to reward you for your meritorious service, and this is the title of military merit!"

Ying Zi said loudly!
"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!" The Liuli craftsman hurriedly fell to his knees with a plop!
