Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

Tao Han didn't wait too long, and within a few days, Xiao Jie brought her, Ye Qiu and the others to a rare workshop outside Panyu City.

It can be seen that the workshop is newly built and has a large scale, but everyone is curious about why such a large workshop was built far away from Panyu City, and it is particularly inconvenient to travel.

Moreover, Ye Qiu also noticed that there were soldiers constantly patrolling outside the workshop, as if there was some hidden secret hidden in the workshop.

As soon as Xiao Jie and the others entered the workshop, all the masters in the workshop came forward to meet Xiao Jie, but all of them didn't know why they were naked from the upper body, but they just put a dirty towel on their shoulders, revealing Tao Han and Zhao Xuan were naturally a little uncomfortable with their skin as dark as charcoal.

The steward also saw that the two girls accompanying him were uncomfortable, so he was so angry that he couldn't fight together, yelling at these people for being so unruly, how decent it is for His Royal Highness Qi Wang to show their breasts, and asked them to hurry up and put on their clothes Only then did these masters panic to find a coat to wear.

As if he was afraid that Xiao Jie would blame him, the steward hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, forgive me. These people were blacksmiths. The furnace for making iron was too hot, so they got used to being naked every day. They couldn't change it for a while, and offended His Highness. And the two girls, the villain will definitely talk about them in the future, so that they all get rid of this bad habit, and they must not commit it again."

Xiao Jie nodded and did not speak, but gave Tao Han and Zhao Xuan a sorry look.

Tao Han didn't say anything, she also knew that these master blacksmiths were just working habits, and she didn't mean to blame them, but she was very surprised why Xiao Jie hired so many blacksmiths.

She looked around the workshop, the huge furnaces were very eye-catching, resembling a large blacksmith's shop, and she was puzzled for a moment, could it be that His Highness really planned to make money by making iron, but this business is even worse If you do it, the profit may not be able to earn 20 taels of silver in three months.

"Director Ding, have you prepared everything I want you to prepare?"

Xiao Jie asked Lao Ding, who was in charge beside him.

Steward Ding smiled all over his face, lowered his eyebrows and said pleasantly: "Your Highness has ordered, how dare you not be dedicated, everything has been prepared early, and I am waiting for Your Highness!"

Xiao Jie smiled slightly: "Since you are ready, let's get started."

As soon as Xiao Jie gave an order, the blacksmiths immediately put a large amount of charcoal into one of the furnaces, and a raging fire was ignited in the furnace, and a master was pulling the bellows to blow air into the furnace, and the air in the workshop was very fast. get hot.

It will take some time for the temperature of the furnace to rise, Xiao Jie didn't let these masters idle, but asked them to drag a big sack and dump the contents on the ground.

Tao Han stepped forward to take a closer look, and recognized that these were the most common types of sand. From the appearance, they should be sand from the sea. Although he didn't understand what Xiao Jie wanted to do, she guessed that Xiao Jie was definitely not in the sand. Ironmaking.

For a moment, she was even more curious about what Xiao Jie wanted to create.

At this time, Xiao Jie seemed to whisper a few words to Guanshi Ding, and Guanshi Ding immediately went to open the lid of a large vat, scooped out a few large scoops of white particles from the large vat, poured them into the sand, and surrounded the sand. Several masters in the pile immediately began to stir and mix the sand and white particles together.

Tao Han guessed that these white particles had something to do with them, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked Guanshi Ding what they were.

Guanshi Ding looked at Tao Han in some embarrassment, and then turned his gaze to Xiao Jie. Xiao Jie nodded and said that he could tell her, after all, this is the father of the funder who spent a lot of money... Uh, the mother of the funder, I have a right to know point.

Only then did Guanshi Ding have the courage to tell Tao Han that it was made of grass, wood, and water.

Tao Han was stunned for a moment, isn't the grass, wood and gray water black and not autumnal, how did it become such small snow-white particles.

Steward Ding had no choice but to patiently explain that it was His Royal Highness Qi Wang who asked them to soak a large amount of plant ash in cold water, and then use a fine cloth to repeatedly filter out the impurities in the plant ash water. Although they did not know the reason, it was strange to say that after repeated filtering, The plant ash water really became clear, so they boiled the clarified plant ash water dry and had to pour out these white particles.

Regardless of the fact that there is only half a vat of plant ash particles in front of them, how long have they been burning day and night, and how many pots have been burnt to burn so much, just to give His Highness King Qi a job, but they don't know that His Highness wants these white particles to dry. Well.

Tao Han was also slightly happy after hearing this, and it was plant ash again. I remembered that he used plant ash to make sugar last time. How could His Royal Highness King Qi be on the fence with plant ash.

If Xiao Jie could hear Tao Han's voice, he could only express his helplessness in capital letters. In fact, the best effect is soda ash sodium carbonate, but under the conditions of this era, soda ash cannot be produced, and soda ash mining is difficult. High, he can only use the preparation of potassium carbonate instead.

Because the highest temperature that a charcoal furnace can reach is only about 1600 degrees, and the melting point of sand is 1700 degrees, so adding potassium carbonate to the sand can lower its melting point and ensure that it can melt in the furnace.

After Guanshi Ding finished adding potassium carbonate, Xiao Jie asked Guanshi Ding to add some Glauber's salt to the sand, but Guanshi Ding did not ask any further questions, and followed the order directly.

Tao Han was even more incredulous. Glauber's salt, she knew, was a traditional Chinese medicine, mainly used for laxative and laxative, clearing fire and reducing swelling. Even adding it to sand felt a bit weird.

The master mixed the sand, potassium carbonate and Glauber's salt thoroughly, and the furnace was burning red. At this time, Xiao Jie asked the master to put the sand mixed with potassium carbonate into the refractory soil mold prepared earlier in the morning, and then put it into the furnace. Let the raging fire roast...

Everyone stared intently at the sand in the furnace that was swallowed by the raging fire, full of doubts in their hearts.

"What is His Highness burning sand for?"

Zhao Xuan couldn't help tugging at Ye Qiu's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, which was exactly what everyone was worried about.

Ye Qiu helplessly spread his hands, expressing that he couldn't understand either.

On the other hand, Pang Hu looked indifferent, he only cared about when Xiao Jie would build a brewery in Panyu, the wine brewed by Jiaozhou people was really unpalatable.

Zhao Xuan couldn't help but asked Tao Han who was on the side: "Sister Tao, do you know the reason?"

Tao Han shook his head, but then smiled like a flower: "I don't understand, but His Highness said these things can earn at least 20 taels of silver in three months."

20 million taels of silver?

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard the words. Can you earn 20 yuan by burning these sands for three months?No matter how it sounds, it sounds like a fantasy.

Xiao Jie didn't explain, just quietly watching the flames in the furnace...

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Jie ordered the master to take the clay mold out of the furnace.

The master did not dare to be negligent, and immediately took out the soil model, only to see that the sand inside had completely melted, and the soil was full of clear and transparent liquid.

"This... is this created by burning sand?" Even the most knowledgeable Tao Han couldn't help feeling fresh.

Xiao Jie nodded with a smile, telling them to stay calm and wait patiently for the good show.

I don't know how long I waited, but the liquid in the soil mold gradually cooled and settled, but it still remained transparent.

"Your Highness, this... is this jade?" Steward Ding knew that he shouldn't ask His Highness in his position, but he couldn't help his curiosity.

Xiao Jie shook his head and said with a smile, "No! This is called glass."

A master braved the heat to demould the glass, and what appeared in front of everyone was a large piece of transparent glass, crystal clear and shining brightly in the sun, which aroused everyone's amazement.

Tao Han couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling, she knew she had made the right choice, and the value of this item was definitely more than a mere 20 taels of silver.

No one noticed, but Xiao Jie frowned. It was the first time for others to see this kind of glass, so he naturally felt that it was a magic weapon. It is full of air bubbles, seriously affecting the light transmittance and aesthetics.

"Smash it into pieces, put it in the furnace and re-fire it!" Xiao Jie ordered without any hesitation.

Everyone was dumbfounded at once, but His Royal Highness ordered them not to talk too much, let alone disobeying orders, so they found a few hammers and smashed the glass reluctantly, and added potassium carbonate particles and Glauber's salt into the furnace again according to Xiao Jie's intention. Medium firing...

When the glass turned into liquid again and was taken out, Xiao Jie ordered someone to find a clean stick and keep stirring gently to ensure that the air bubbles in the liquid were squeezed out.

After the liquid cooled and solidified again, Xiao Jie looked at the finished product in front of him, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, obviously, the appearance was not much different from the common glass in later generations.

(Readers who are waiting to cross, take out your small notebook and remember it. The most important thing to make glass is to prepare potassium carbonate and thenardite in advance. Without potassium carbonate, the sand will not melt. Glauber’s salt is a clarifying agent, and the rest is to make some sand Went to the smithy.)
