This is not the Datang I am familiar with

The eyes are deceiving, it must be.

Li Hong took the food there, saw Chen Fang, called out, and walked over.

"Yu Rong..."

"There is no need to be polite in the canteen of Tang Gongfang. It is the intention of my mother to pretend. I also heard what my mother said today. Mrs. Yu is also considered my mother's best friend. I have fun in Tang Gongfang."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"My son-in-law, come here, exchange with me, I will try this fish."

"Call it yourself, don't change it!"

"Just change it, I'll give you the fishtail! I'll give you the chicken leg."

Yu Rong and Haolan Nana were completely stunned. His Majesty was fighting for something with the concubine. In the end, Li Hong grabbed a fish tail from Chen Fang's bowl and put the chicken leg he had beaten into the concubine's bowl.

"My son-in-law, do you usually eat like this?"

"I usually don't eat noodles. When eating rice, as long as this guy sits with me, I always like to eat mine!"

"Didn't I let you eat the food in my bowl?"

Yu Rong and Haolan Nana are completely messed up. There are really no rules in Tang Workshop.

Yu Rong and Haolan Nana, who had eaten a meal, were dumbfounded. When they stepped out of the canteen, they couldn't taste the taste of the food in the canteen.

And there, Li Hong and Chen Fang walked together shoulder to shoulder, Yu Rong watched the two walk away, and then she relaxed.

"Mother, Prince Consort and Your Majesty?"

"We're going to the Queen Mother."

"Oh!"

In the afternoon, Chen Fang went to the workshop, which was still busy at this time. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the workshop was considered the busiest time, because winter clothes had to be prepared.

Li Hong has just ascended the throne this year.No matter the concubines or maids in the palace, they have to change batches, and according to the wishes of the concubines, those concubines and maids who have gone to Ganye Temple will also be given a winter coat.

This is among the two palaces. The military officials in Chang'an, the relatives of the emperor, the princes and nobles also have to prepare winter clothes. The pressure on the Tang Workshop can be imagined.

When Chen Fang entered the workshop, he saw the duck down and goose down to be dried. At this time, there was a stretch of it, and the open space seemed to have fallen snow, white and yellowish.

"Caiyi, go to the Empress Dowager's place in a while and measure the size of Mrs. Yu's mother and daughter. First, prepare two down jackets and trousers for each of them."

"Understood, my son-in-law!"

Chen Fang found Yinye. He came to the workshop today to try to make something, glass.

It has been a long time since I came to Datang, and I have never made glass Chenfang. Firstly, it is inconvenient to transport, and it is a bit troublesome to make. The previous Chenfang only knew a little about the craft of glass manufacturing, and it was able to make it. But there are some problems with the quality and post-processing.

Secondly, Chen Fang didn't want to overly stimulate the trade between Datang and Xiqin, and let Xiqin always master the glass manufacturing process.

The so-called one bite can't make you fat, some things still need to come slowly, but that's all.

But now Chen Fang has no problems with the technical level and knowledge reserve, and the artillery battalion has now been established, and there is an urgent need for glass. What is it used for?Naturally, it is an observation device, a telescope.

The Western Qin Dynasty could do this, but it was very tight, and the Northern Han Dynasty could also do it, but the Northern Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were not of one mind after all.

Chapter 755 Glass

Now it is used for military use, and it is still a matter of doing it yourself.

There are some things that must not be caught by others. The power of artillery must be maximized, and telescopes are also indispensable. Speaking of which, telescopes are widely used in the military and have a huge role.

Observing what others do not observe, and discovering the enemy before the enemy can take a lot of initiative.

For shelling, maybe the other party has not seen their own side, and the shells have already exploded in the army, which is really a sour feeling.

The main component of glass is silicon dioxide. The earliest glass appeared in an accident. It was formed by baking soda and rocks under flames. Of course, only some glass particles were formed at that time.

Glass also exists in nature, and glass can be formed by lightning strikes on quartz or meteorite impacts.

As for silicon dioxide, there are a lot of things in nature, and the most common one is sand. The main component of sand is silicon dioxide, which is also the main raw material for glass manufacturing in later generations.

At this time, Chen Fang experimented, the first thing needed was sand, the second was high temperature, and the third was baking soda used as a catalyst, that is, sodium carbonate.

These kinds of things are not lacking in Tang Gongfang. They called Yinye and brought two people with them. After the things were ready.Just experimented with a small furnace in an empty room of the workshop.

At first, Yinye still felt strange watching the son-in-law burning sand, but she didn't ask too many questions, and just watched with the son-in-law.

Seeing that it was busy there, I asked the two printers who were helping to go back.

"My lord, what are you doing?"

"You'll find out soon, Yinye, is the workshop busy recently?"

"My son-in-law has also seen it. He is very busy, especially at Caiyi, which has to rush to make winter clothes. After the Double Ninth Festival, winter is approaching. There is also printing books. It seems that there are more and more scholars recently, and the surrounding counties need more and more. There are more and more books."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. I let Taohong take care of Yi'er, and there are fewer people here."

"It's our duty to share worries for the son-in-law."

Chen Fang reached out to Yinye's shoulder and squeezed it lightly a few times.

"Out!"

"My lord, what happened?"

"look!"

The small melting furnace has a diversion tank. At this time, some molten glass has flowed out, dripped on the ground, and quickly solidified in the air, forming a crystalline and transparent substance.

"My lord, what is this?"

Yinye was about to reach out to pick it up, but was beaten by Chen Fang.

"The high temperature of thousands of degrees, you don't want your hands anymore."

Yinye stuck out her tongue, Chen Fang pinched her nose angrily, and pinched it a few times.

"This is glass. This thing will be mass-produced in the future, but if you don't put it here, you are already busy enough, and my son-in-law doesn't want you to be more busy."

Chen Fang let go of the silver leaf, and the girl was staring at these irregular glass solidifications on the ground, her eyes were a little dazed.

"My lord, is this glass?"

"Yes, it's not like the glass bottles you usually see. There are still some processes to be done in the follow-up. Well, I will arrange this matter to Ziwu Ridge. It just so happens that there is no shortage of blast furnaces and raw materials there."

"My son-in-law, you said that we will mass-produce this thing in the future, so we don't need to buy glass from Xiqin."

"Of course you don't need to buy it. The price of Xiqin's glass is about to catch up with silver. We can make it ourselves, so what do we buy it for? With that silver, wouldn't it be good to add some clothes to my silver leaves?"

"It's better for the son-in-law to be nice to Yinye!"

Chen Fang patted Yinye's butt a few times, at this time, he used a bamboo stick to poke a few pieces of glass to crystallize out, and observed carefully.

At this time, the notes left by senior Liu Naihe flashed through his mind, and a large number of chemical formulas and follow-up processes rolled over in his mind. Chen Fang stroked his train of thought a little, and had basically determined what to do after Ziwuling.

When she got up, Yinye also got up. Chen Fang grabbed Yinye's waist, pinched the belt around her waist, and gently pinched the tip of her waist.

"Let's go, my son-in-law is in a good mood, you wait on me for a while."

"My lord, where are you going?"

"Over there in the bamboo forest!"

"it is good!"

At dusk, Chen Fang sent Lin Shixuan and Yu Rong's mother and daughter away from Tang Gongfang. He thought Wu Meiniang would keep them, but Wu Meiniang didn't.

After sending the three of them away, Chen Fang went back to Wu Meiniang's place, and saw that Wu Meiniang was concentrating on caring for her skin with the skin care products Lin Shixuan gave her.

Seeing Chen Fang come in, Wu Meiniang looked in the mirror a few times, the son-in-law's hand put her shoulder, Wu Meiniang turned to look at him.

"Meiniang, don't use this thing at night! I'll sleep in a while."

"Meiniang has been using these recently, and they feel pretty good. Why don't you let me use them? Last night, you specifically told Xiaolan to let me wash up before going to bed at night."

"You are naturally beautiful, but these are actually of little use to you."

"Women still need to take care of themselves. Otherwise, in a few years, I will be like an old woman. What if you ignore me?"

Chen Fang suddenly looked at the woman in front of him, and embraced her deeply in his arms.

"You take such meticulous care, it's all for me!"

"Who else can it be for?"

The night was dark, but there was still some noise in the Tang Workshop, and the promenade was getting busier by the day.It's probably autumn, and everyone knows that when the weather is cold, it will be difficult to have such a lively place here, and the more times you come here at this time, the more lively you will be.

In addition, people from the Weapons Supervisor love to come here recently, there are more men, and there are more women who want to find their other half.

The woman who didn't like the excitement before also often comes here at this time.

The promenade of the Tang Workshop is about to evolve into a venue for blind dates for later generations.

Chen Fang followed Wu Meiniang, came here once infrequently, there was Weaver Girl playing music, more often to watch couples of young lovers kissing and flirting here.

"Chen Fang, is the workshop going to hold a wedding banquet recently?"

"It should be soon, many newcomers have already posted about getting married."

"Well, how is Honger's place recently?"

"Everything is fine, Mei Niang, I was just about to tell you that I want to send a few Weaver Girls to His Majesty's side so that he can serve you conveniently."

"Did he ask what you wanted?"

"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and what you need the most is women."

"Well, it's almost the day of Hong'er's big wedding. By the way, you will go to the palace tomorrow to bring Concubine De and the others here. Hong'er can't live in Tang Gongfang forever. After all, he is the emperor, and Daming Palace has been vacant all the time. It's not a problem."

"I'll take care of this tomorrow and bring Concubine De, Concubine Jing and Li Zhaoyi into the Tang Workshop."

"Well, their palace duties have also been withdrawn. From now on, they only need to keep their names, otherwise they will occupy their positions."

"it is good!"

"By the way, you go to the palace and bring Zheng Jieyu's maid into the Tang Workshop. What's her name?"

"It's Xiyue."

"Yes, it's this maid. Zheng Jieyu mentioned it to me a few times."

"That's the maid that Jieyu brought into the palace from the Zheng family, so Jieyu values ​​it."

Chapter 756 Shadows

"It's a pity that the Qing that Ben Gong brought from the Wu family has disappeared."

Chen Fang didn't answer Wu Meiniang's words. In fact, he never asked Yi'er about Qing's whereabouts. It seems that the original early morning has evaporated.

Wu Meiniang mentioned occasionally that Chen Fang could only keep silent at this time.

Walking casually along the corridor, the two went back to their respective residences.

On the second day, according to the Queen Mother's order, Chen Fang entered the Daming Palace, which was the Daming Palace at this time.Since the first emperor went west, it has been extremely desolate. The concubines and concubines of the palaces were brought into the Ganye Temple, and the place suddenly became much more empty.

The maids on the road saw the son-in-law, and they were deeply blessed. Chen Fang looked at the deep Daming Palace, and sighed.

Walking to the harem, the place became more and more deserted, and there seemed to be a sticky loneliness in the air.

Chen Fang first went to the courtyard where Zheng Jieyu lived, and happened to see that girl Xiyue flipping through a book there.

"Reading is not closed!"

"Ah! It's the son-in-law. Xiyue has met the son-in-law."

"Okay, you and I are acquaintances, so there is no need to be polite, pack up and follow me."

"My lord, where are you going?"

"Take you to the workshop, and you will take care of your lady in the workshop from now on!"

"Ah! Really?"

As soon as Xiyue was happy, she threw herself into Chen Fang's arms, and Chen Fang pushed Xiyue's forehead with her hands.

"Take the opportunity to take advantage of my son-in-law!"

Xiyue stuck out her tongue, and Chen Fang sat casually on the chair.

"Okay, go get ready! I'll wait for you here."
