One Piece of Song Dynasty

That was invented by the Venetian craftsmen Dal Carlo brothers. They put tin foil on the glass and then poured mercury on it, forming a layer of tin amalgam on the glass. However, mercury is poisonous and you need to be careful when making it.

After working on it for more than ten days, Li Xin distributed the first batch of glass realms to the cooks on the island. The cooks were extremely happy when they received these glass realms. Some of them are used as gifts, and the rest are used as goods for sale in shops on the island. Li Xin's prices for the goods on the island are still relatively low, of course only on the island.

With glass products and glass mirrors, Li Xin's financial resources will further increase. While Li Xin was busy making glass products on the island, Zhao Yun also came to Yiyang Zhai's house.

Zhao Yun saw the old man at the door and stepped forward and said, "Old man, is General Zhai Jin in the mansion?"

The old man looked at Zhao Yun and asked, "Who is this gentleman? What is the matter with the little old man's house?"

Zhao Yun cupped his fists and replied, "A certain family was sent by the family of General Zhai's former Shangguan Liu Jinglue. They came specifically to ask for a favor from General Zhai. I also asked my father-in-law to be accommodating and report it to General Zhai." Zhao Yun could only pretend to be Liu Fa's family, otherwise It's hard for strangers to enter Zhai's house.

The old man said, "It turns out they were sent by Liu Jinglue's family. I know it, so I'll go in and report it. You wait here first."

Zhao Yun waited for a while, and the old man came out. 35xs

The old man cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Sir, please follow me."

The old man took Zhao Yun into Zhai's house and saw Zhai Jin in a side room.

Zhai Jin asked, "You were sent by Liu Jinglue's family members."

Zhao Yun cupped his fists and said, "I came here to see General Zhai on the order of my wife. I have important matters to discuss with General Zhai." After saying this, Zhao Yun looked around.

Zhai Jin understood and said to the servants, "You go down first and close the door when you leave."

All the servants understood and exited the wing and closed the door.

Seeing that everyone had gone out, Zhao Yun took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhai Jin with both hands.

Zhai Jin looked shocked after reading the letter.

Zhai Jin looked confused and said, "Liu Jinglue is really still alive."

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "General Zhai, Liu Jinglue is indeed still alive, but his legs are broken."

Zhai Jin said, "It's good to be alive. It's good to be alive. Liu Jinglue wrote in his letter that he asked someone to see him, but he didn't write what happened or where he was. Do you know why?"

Zhao Yun cupped his fists and said, "Liu Jinglue did this to prevent his traces from being revealed. General Zhai should understand why Liu Jinglue did this. It is not appropriate for Liu Jinglue to appear in front of the world now. A certain person came to take General Zhai to see him on Liu Jinglue's order. 35xs"

Zhai Jin thought for a while and said, "Okay, I will pack my bags and follow you to see Liu Jinglue."

Zhai Jin packed up and went on the road with Zhao Yun.

Li Xin worked on the island for more than half a month. After the production of glass products and glass environment stabilized, Li Xin felt that Zhao Yun was almost here, so she prepared to take Liu Fa back to Hui'an to meet Zhai Jin.

Li Xin found Liu Fa who was guiding the training of soldiers. Li Xin asked, "General Liu, how do you feel about training soldiers during this time?"

Liu Fa nodded and said, "These soldiers have higher understanding than the soldiers trained by a certain family before. They understand many things at a glance, and they train very hard. In time, these soldiers will be much stronger than the Western Army."

Li Xin said, "I am happy for these soldiers to receive such high praise from General Liu."

Liu Fa thoughtfully said, "After observing these soldiers from a certain family, I now understand why the lord insists that the soldiers learn to read. These literate soldiers are much better than illiterate soldiers. Their brains are flexible and they can learn anything quickly."

Li Xin said with a smile, "It would be great if General Liu could understand a certain person's hard work. Does General Liu know why these soldiers train so hard and are not lazy?"

Liu Fa thought for a moment and replied, "In order to repay my lord for allocating them fields, I also gave them such high military pay."

Li Xin waved his hand, "This is just one reason. The more important thing is that these soldiers know why they are fighting. They know that following a certain person has actually embarked on the path of rebellion. A certain person gave them fields and allowed them to live a good life. , if they don’t work hard to become stronger, even if someone gives them land, they may not be able to protect it. They have all experienced the hard days of not having enough to eat and clothing, so in fact, they are fighting for themselves. In order to protect them, they rely on In order to prevent the land they live on from being taken away, in order to protect the good life their family has lived, and in order to protect their children from having a bright future, they train hard to make themselves stronger."

Liu Fa nodded and said, "Yes, Lord, I understand."

Li Xin continued, "Such soldiers are much stronger than those who are motivated by rewards. Fighting for oneself and fighting for others are completely different emotions. Only when the soldiers understand why they are fighting can they burst out." The most powerful combat power."

Liu Fa said with emotion, "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Today, I listened to my lord's kind words and enlightened a certain family. I really benefited a lot."

Li Xin waved his hand, "General Liu, please stop complimenting me. We have been here for more than a month. General Zhai must be arriving soon. We should go back to greet General Zhai."

Liu Fa nodded and said, "Yes, counting the days, General Zhai should be arriving soon. When will we leave, my lord?"

Li Xin said, "Let's go tomorrow. The fleet has just arrived today and is unloading the cargo. We will return to Hui'an with the fleet early tomorrow morning."

Liu Fa replied, "Okay, someone knows."

Li Xin and Liu Fa returned to Hui'an with the ship early the next morning. This time they brought a batch of glass objects and exquisite glass products back to Hui'an, some of which Li Xin wanted to distribute to many people as gifts.

After getting off the boat, Li Xin went to see Ruan Xiaoer first.

Li Xin handed the two-sided glass frame to Ruan Xiaoer and said, "Second brother, Brother X is back again. This is a gift from X to his sister-in-law and the old lady."

Ruan Xiaoer looked at the glass realm and refused, "No, no, no, brother Li treats us three brothers so well, we can no longer accept such expensive gifts."

Li Xin waved her hand, "What an expensive gift? These are all things produced by my family. But the second brother must not tell the truth to my sister-in-law. Someone is planning to sell this thing as a valuable item."

Ruan Xiaoer said, "It's really my own property."

Li Xin smiled and said, "Seriously."

Ruan Xiaoer nodded and said, "It's our own property, so I'll accept it. I'll remember everything my brother said. I won't tell your sister-in-law that this is our own property. I'll only say that it's Brother Li's." treasure."

After giving the glass realm to Ruan Xiaoer, Li Xin went back to the house to find the butler. The matter of selling glass mirrors and glass products still had to be discussed with the butler.
