After Qin Ke entered the palace, he got to meet the new emperor and told everything about Rong Xi.

When the new emperor heard the words, he first denounced Mengshan County Lieutenant for his ignorance of the method of smelting iron, and then even claimed to praise Rong Xi's ability.

If Rong Xi is here, he will surely recognize that the new emperor is Chen Erlang.

"If the horseshoe is really magical, why should we worry about not destroying the barbarians in the north?" He stood with his hands behind his back, with the look of a young emperor in his eyes, "I will immediately call Yang Qianmu into the palace."

Yang Qianmu is the minister of the Ministry of Industry. He got the emperor's edict and quickly put it into the palace.

The three talked for a long time, and they stopped at Youshi.

Rong Xi had no way of knowing about the Shengjing matter, he was busy firing new utensils.

Rong Lian saw that he was out all day, not knowing what he was busy with, and asked about it verbally, but was prevaricated by Rong Xi.

"Second brother can study with peace of mind. He will pass the provincial examination next year and shine on his family."

Rong Lian sighed secretly, his face was serious and straight, like a teacher, Rong Xi felt a little headache after repeated reasoning.

"Since my elder brother is not good at reading, my second brother should not persuade me any more."

It just so happened that Liu Zishi came to report: "Mr. Lang, the car is ready, when will we leave?"

Faced with Rong Lian's eyes of "looking forward to brother Jackie Chan", Rong Xi could only cruelly refuse, "I have an appointment with Brother Hu, second brother, you can study at home quietly, and I will return when I apply."

Then he fled.

When he arrived at the kiln in the outskirts of the city, Hu Yulin had been waiting for half a minute. Seeing his car parked, he stepped forward to meet him, and said, "Da Lang, are you firing today?"

A few days ago, Professor Rong Xi, a kiln worker, turned coal into coke. Because the temperature of coke is much higher than that of coal, high temperature is required for firing glass, and coke is indispensable.

Moreover, compared with kilns for firing masonry and ceramics, glass kilns need to be smaller in size, which is conducive to temperature concentration.

After several days of transformation and fuel preparation, Hu Yulin was already very anxious.

"We can try it today." Rong Xi became excited after being infected by him.

Glass can be used not only as windows, but also in all aspects of daily life. If it can be fired, life will be much more convenient.

The kiln workers are all skilled people, and Rong Xi divides the work and handles each process in groups.

After the mixed raw materials are put into the furnace, they are melted at high temperature, and then pressed into the mold.

Rong Xi only understands theory, and the kiln workers fired it for the first time, so the finished product was not satisfactory.But even if it did not meet the standards, Hu Yulin and all the kiln workers were amazed again and again.

Although there are bubbles and water marks on it, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it will be popular all over the world just because of the transparency of glass.

Hu Yulin was in a turbulent mood, and the corners of his eyes were red, "If the firing is successful, the wages will be doubled!"

The kiln workers were overjoyed and continued to try.

Rong Xi and Hu Yulin were rich and powerful, so many firings turned them into waste. They didn't show the slightest sign of pain, and just kept their eyes on the kiln.

The first day of firing was unsuccessful, and the kiln workers were all ashamed and guilty.

Rong Xi's expression was relaxed, and after returning home, he wrote down all the experiences he saw today on paper, if there is a chance, it may be for future generations to see.

As autumn goes to winter, the cold wind becomes more and more raging.

Rong Lian was reading at his desk, and the lamp bean swayed restlessly.Suddenly there was a strong gust of wind, and it desperately got in through the window lattice, almost blowing out the candles.

The window paper came off again.

Rong Lian looked calm, but secretly sighed in his heart.Compared with Shengjing, the ancestral house, needless to say, eats, every meal is like enjoying the taste of immortals.And quiet and peaceful, no one disturbs, it is a good place to read.

Only the window paper is really thin. If it comes to winter and the cold wind enters the room, it will not be good for reading.

Tomorrow he will order Xiyan to buy more paper, so that the paste is tight.

In the early morning of the next day, Rong Lian got up after washing and was about to eat, but he heard the commotion outside the house.

He stepped to the front yard and saw carriages and horses standing outside the door, and many craftsmen were carefully unloading.

What did brother buy?

Just at the right time, Rong Xi walked around from the other side of the horse and stood side by side with Hu Yulin, laughing and whispering.

The sun is gorgeous, and people are like green bamboos.

Brother actually lost a little weight again.The cheek flesh recedes, showing a clear and handsome outline, the eyebrows are shaped like peaks, the eyes are like stars, and the nose and lips can be painted.

There is no slight resemblance to the Rong family Dalang in other people's mouth.

"Brother." He couldn't help calling.

Rong Xi turned around with a relaxed expression, "Second brother got up? I'm going to look for you. Today, the craftsman is repairing the doors and windows, which will definitely disturb your study. Can you go to Mr. Gao's house and stay for a day?"

He only thought about the doors and windows last night, brother hired someone to fix it this morning, Rong Lian felt both ashamed and grateful, and said: "I don't want to study today, brother, maybe I can help?"

"No, just rest." Rong Xi said, inviting Hu Yulin into the house together.

After many failures, the glass was finally successfully produced.After pressing, burning the edges, and fading the fire, the glass window finally appeared in front of Rong Xi.

When the experience is rich, the kiln workers will fire day and night, and now the quantity is sufficient.

Hu Yulin came today to see the effect of glass doors and windows.

After breakfast, the craftsmen began to work, and even Feng Shan and his son were invited.After all, installing glass on wooden doors and windows requires the assistance of a carpenter.

Rong's house was quiet for a long time, but today it became noisy.The craftsmen were beating and beating, and the courtyard was full of craftsmen.

The first time he saw the glass, Rong Lian was shocked.

What is this?Why has he never seen it?

"Erlang-jun, do you know what this is?" Xi Yanyi asked his knowledgeable master with a blank face.

Rong Lian pursed his lips and shook his head, approaching Rong Xi, and asked directly: "Brother, what are these things? How can they be so transparent?"

"This is glass, which can be used as a window. It transmits light and keeps out the wind. It is much better than paper." Hu Yulin replied for Rong Xi, "This is Da Lang's wonderful idea, and it will amaze the world in the future."

Seeing that Rong's still neglecting Da Lang's talent, he felt aggrieved in his heart, without Rong Xi's consent, he said it directly, and then smiled apologetically at Rong Xi.

Rong Xi was helpless, he didn't want to hide his clumsiness, he just didn't want to talk about it.

Rong Lian suddenly looked at Rong Xi, his eyes trembling.

How many new things have he seen since he came to Linxi?Whether it is the Hu family who makes the briquettes, the Jiang family who makes the thin pot, or the Duan family who introduces new dishes, they are all inseparable from the elder brother.

All these are vivid in my mind, and the thoughts that have been buried in my heart for a long time, but I can't believe it, all come out at this moment.

Rong Lian opened his mouth slightly, but stopped talking.

"After the glass is installed, the second brother can study in peace, without being disturbed by the cold wind, and there will be plenty of sunlight."

Rong Xi smiled.

After a long time, Rong Lian suddenly showed his face and let out a long sigh, "I was narrow-minded before, brother. It's for ordinary people like me to become an official through the imperial examination. You don't need to seek the fate of the temple for your talent. You can also live in the countryside. Bless the world."

He now realizes that his words of persuasion the day before yesterday were too narrow.

"Second brother speaks seriously." Rong Xi saw that he was in a daze and seemed to be suspicious, so he said, "Everyone has a way to be good at. The second brother is good at reading, and he will be named on the gold list in the future. When he becomes an official, he can ask for his life for the people. Brother's way, Whether it can benefit thousands or not depends on the help of my second brother."

If the imperial court is unwilling to bother, even if Rong Xi makes a new weapon, so what?How can the power of one person compare with the power of the whole country?

Rong Xi's words made Rong Lian feel as if he was enlightened, and suddenly lost his mind.He was still immersed in shame, but brother had such great opinions.

"Brother, I will do my best to support and help my brother!" Rong Lian was immediately in high spirits, as if he had found his purpose in life.

Before that, he just followed the eyes of the world, took the imperial examination, and entered the imperial court, but he was at a loss.Even if he really enters the court, what use can he be as a scholar?

Now, according to my elder brother's words, it is as if Ren Du's two veins are connected, and he can regenerate his power.

Through the unremitting efforts of the craftsmen, glass windows were installed in the yards where Rong Xi, Rong Lian, and Liu's grandparents lived until sunset.

When the light shines into the house, even if the golden wheel is gone, but the glow is weak, the things in the house can be seen clearly, unlike in the past, even in the daytime, it is also dark.

Get a good night's sleep tonight, Rong Xi thought.

After appreciating the craftsman, he gradually left the house.Feng Shan and his son were left to eat together.

"Da Lang, glass is really novel and convenient. It is so transparent and clean. The custom-made price is not low. How much do you want to sell it for?" Feng Shan asked.

Rong Xi replied with a smile: "Brother Xuanshi is good at pricing. If Feng Gong does not give up, I can give you the glass as a gift, but I just need your help."

He is Liu Zishi's master of martial arts, and Rong Xi respects him quite a bit.

Considering that Mr. Gao is getting old and his eyesight is getting weaker, he also uses glass.

He thought to himself, and heard Feng Shan ask: "Don't be polite, Dalang, I will help if I can, but I have to buy the glass myself."

"Feng Gong's words are serious. The world does not know the benefits of glass. Feng Gong is willing to do business with Mr. Hu. I am too happy. As Da Lang said, the glass is given to Feng Gong, and I only hope Feng Gong will spread it more."

Hu Yulin smiled, and looked at Rong Xi, and Rong Xi gave him a grateful look, and felt very relieved.

What he said sounds reasonable, but people in the world are not stupid. When they see glass, they must know the beauty of it. Why do they need a craftsman to preach it?

But the words have come to this point, Feng Shan is inconvenient to refuse.

"Feng Gong, the glass is fragile. I don't trust others. Do you have a way to help me transport it to Shengjing?" Rong Xi asked calmly.

Feng Shan was startled.He carefully speculated on Rong Xi's expression and words, did he ask him to send a piece of glass to the Palace of Prince Qin?

Rong Xi's move has its own intention.Firstly, the glass is indeed fragile, and he doesn't believe in the ordinary post; secondly, Feng Shan has a close relationship with the county palace, and if he finds someone to send him off, the county palace will definitely treat it with caution.

"I will live up to Da Lang's entrustment." Feng Shan replied solemnly.

When Rong Lian heard about it, he thought that Rong Xi was going to be sent to the Rong Mansion in Shengjing, and he was slightly happy.Since he came to Xixi, my elder brother never mentioned the family affairs, nor did he send a letter. He thought that my elder brother and his family were separated.

Now it seems that elder brother still thinks about the family.

Feng Shan is indeed trustworthy. A few days later, a clean and transparent glass was presented in front of Qin Ke intact.

What followed was a letter written by Feng Shan himself.

The glass attracted crowds to watch, Liang Siwen and Chen Chuangu were both amazed, Liang Siwen boldly asked: "Aye, who sent this? It's brighter than gold!"

Chen Chuangu smiled, already guessing in his heart, and said: "Could it be made by Dalang again?"

After reading the letter, Qin Ke smiled, as if he was in a good mood, "It is indeed Rong Dalang's wonderful idea. This thing is called glass, and it can be used as a window to transmit light and resist the wind."

"Rong Dalang?" Liang Siwen couldn't believe it, his face was shocked.

The fat figure of Rong Xi appeared in his mind, and Qin Ke's smile deepened, "I will enter the palace to face the saint."

Then he took the glass and left.

With the emperor's permission, Qin Ke entered the palace just as Rong Shangshu was there.

"Cousin, is there anything new?" The young emperor asked happily when he saw that Qin Ke was holding something in his hand, with a clear mind.

Qin Ke took off the outer layer of paper clothes, and held a piece of square glass in his palm.

"Please watch, Your Majesty."

The emperor was about to jump down the steps in the palace, strode up to Qin Ke, watched it carefully, his eyes showed surprise, and asked after a long time, "Did he make it?"

Qin Ke smiled, "Exactly."

"Haha," the emperor was overjoyed, looked at Rong Shangshu who was at a loss, couldn't help it, and praised with a loud smile, "Rong Qing gave birth to a good son!"

Rong Shangshu outside the situation: "..."

Your Majesty, your praise made the old minister a little flustered!

The author has something to say:

Rong Shangshu: Your Majesty praised my son, I panicked a lot of QAQ and so on, which son is he praising?
