Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 126
Guo An said: "Your Highness, don't you think this kind of glass is much easier to use than those window papers when installed on windows?

These glasses are not only stronger than window paper, but also brighter and less prone to wind. "

"what……"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di looked at the piece of glass lying on the table, his eyes lit up immediately.

"If this thing replaces the window paper and is installed on the window, it will definitely be hundreds of times better than the window paper."

As he said that, Zhu Di subconsciously asked: "But, how is the glass installed on the window?"

"This is the easiest thing!"

Guo An directly chuckled and said, "According to the size of the glass, make a hole in the window, and then directly clamp the glass with two thin wooden boards, and fix it on the window!"

Zhu Di immediately urged: "That's it, you will quickly calcinate hundreds of pieces of glass for us and install them in our palace."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhong Huo and the other craftsmen were ecstatic in their hearts, and hurriedly responded with excitement.

They didn't expect that His Royal Highness King Yan would also use glass.

……

Coming out of the Ironworks, on the way back.

Guo An hesitated for a while, but still said: "Your Highness, I have thought about it all the way, but I still think it's not right."

"Ok?"

Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, he was thinking now, how many pieces of glass should be installed in those palaces in his Prince Yan's mansion?
Although his palaces are spacious, but on cloudy days or after the sun sets, the inside of the palace will be very dark, and he can't read all the documents clearly.

And now, not long after he left the Iron Smelting Institute, Guo An actually took the lead in objecting?

"Into his mother... what does Guo Qing mean?"

Just as Zhu Di wanted to get angry, he thought that all of this was thought up by Guo An, so he calmed down and prepared to listen to Guo An's opinion first.

Guo An slowly explained: "Your Highness, I feel that it is better to put the glass calcined by Tieye on the farm first."

"Ok?"

Zhu Di stared at Guo An closely, as if you were giving me a satisfactory explanation.

Guo Andao: "Your Highness, I know that I don't think that the farm is more important than your Yan Palace.

Rather, I feel that these craftsmen have calcined this kind of transparent glass for the first time, and I can't guarantee whether they will be able to calcinate more clear and transparent glass in the future?
Most importantly, these craftsmen were the first to use glass to install windows in houses.

They don't have any experience yet. What if they install it in His Royal Highness's palace and then install it on the farm, and suddenly find that there is a more beautiful installation method?So, wouldn't that be embarrassing?
Or, in the end, the glass re-calcined by Tieye turned out to be more beautiful and clearer than this one, what about the glass installed in His Highness's palace?
So, should the glass in His Highness's palace be replaced again? "

Zhu Di said directly: "Of course it needs to be replaced!"

Guo An said: "Then why not wait until the farm's glass is installed before installing the glass for His Royal Highness Yan Palace."

Zhu Di glanced at Guo An suspiciously, "Doesn't Guo Qing think that the greenhouse on the farm is more important than our Yan Palace?"

Guo An quickly expressed aggrieved expression, "His Royal Highness really misunderstood this minister. The loyalty of my minister to His Highness can be learned from the sun and the moon, and the world can show it!"

Zhu Di suddenly looked disgusted, "Okay, okay, you are a dignified history of Yan Wang's mansion, when did you learn the same way to those treacherous officials, and your words are so nasty?"

"Hehe, Your Highness misunderstood, what the humble officials say is true, as for those treacherous officials, they are all words of women!" Guo An said with a chuckle.

Immediately, he reacted and quickly calmed down. His descendants of Guo Taishi, who are dignified, would actually say such flattering words?

In order to allow Mr. Zhu to install glass on the farm and build a greenhouse first, he really humiliated himself and lost his personality!

I hope that the greenhouse can be successful once, as long as it is enough to eat vegetables.

……

The second day begins.

After Guo An told Zhu Di after midnight, he took Zhu Liang and some guards and went directly to the farm.

And on the farm, there were already a group of old men who were idle in the farm, and they all picked up loads of sheep dung, eggs, chicken dung, and some plant ash that had been dried for an unknown number of days, and evenly scattered them into the ridges of the field.

At the same time, the farmers in Xiazhuangzi of King Yan's Mansion began to water the fields one by one and sow rapeseed.

"Brothers, it's going to be winter soon, why does His Royal Highness want to plant these courgettes, celery, coriander, eggplant, and leeks?"

"Yeah, when it snows, the ground will be completely frozen, even if all these vegetables grow, they will all be frozen to death!"

"As for the low walls built around it, is it possible that they are used to keep out the cold wind?"

"That won't work either!"

"Yeah, this is for burying fertilizer and watering. His Royal Highness King Yan really doesn't plan to grow vegetables in winter, does he?"

"You old man, don't gossip, work with peace of mind. As for whether you can grow vegetables, it's none of your business. If you gossip again, be careful to let the Shangguan hear you, and deduct your wages!"

"Yes, yes, but I dare not deduct our wages..."

Following a few reprimands from a steward, some farmers suddenly fell silent, lowered their heads and concentrated on their work, and dared not speak.

They will not throw away such a good thing as farming for His Highness and paying wages.

In the distance, Zhu Liang was also full of worry, "Guo Changshi, this is also a normal way of growing vegetables, can this really grow vegetables in winter?"

"Then I wonder if Zhu Baihu has other planting methods?"

Guo An asked curiously.

"The last general is ashamed!" Zhu Liang quickly laughed.

"Since there is no one, then don't ask any more questions. Otherwise, when I want to do something new next time, I will definitely not inform you in advance."

Guo An said angrily.

He is really bored.

"Didn't we just build a greenhouse and want to grow vegetables to eat in winter? You guys are good, you catch me and ask non-stop every day.

After asking this question, ask that question; after asking that question, continue asking this one!
The point is, you guys come and go, just a few words.The greenhouse has not been set up, and the rapeseeds have not been buried in the soil. How can I know whether vegetables can be grown?

Am I not a fairy who can predict the future? "

"Hey, Guo Changshi may not know, but now Guo Changshi is not much different from those gods and gods in the eyes of the last generals?" Zhu Liang said with a sneer.

"If this official is a fairy, what kind of person should His Highness be?" Guo An looked at Zhu Liang with a half-smile.

"Your Highness is naturally..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Liang immediately covered his mouth, his face full of panic.

"Guo Changshi forgives the crime, the general will make a slip of the tongue!"

"Okay, we're not people like you whose mouth is looser than the crotch!"

Guo An glared at Zhu Liang, and said in a leisurely manner, "Please remember, Zhu Baihu, that we just want to make our lives better, better in clothes, and warmer in our lives.

As for what we have done, unless outsiders know the inside story, Zhu Baihu should not say a word about it.

Even the officials in the mansion, Zhu Baihu must keep his mouth shut and don't reveal to anyone.

Otherwise, when the vegetables are grown, Zhu Baihu's portion will always be less than that of other people's! "

"Guo Changshi, this is His Highness's farm..." Zhu Liang whispered.

Guo An sneered, "But we can advise His Highness, does Zhu Baihu think His Highness will listen to this official?"

Zhu Liang immediately smiled apologetically, "Don't worry Guo Changshi, the general will keep his mouth shut, and no one will say anything more."

"That's right!"

Guo An's face returned to a smile, and he patted Zhu Liang's shoulder lightly, "Zhu Baihu, if you think about it, there are only one hundred acres of vegetables.

Yes, a hundred acres can indeed grow a lot of vegetables.

However, this is to grow vegetables in winter. If some vegetables are frozen to death, and some can't grow again, how many vegetables can be planted in this one hundred acres?

And, think about it, how scarce are vegetables in cold winter?

How many officials are there in King Yan's mansion?How many generals like Zhu Baihu are there?How many officials are there in Beiping Mansion?

In addition, veterans such as Song Guogong and Ying Guogong are also in Beiping Mansion.

If these people knew, even if His Highness intended to share more vegetables with Zhu Baihu, how many vegetables could His Highness King Yan squeeze out under so many eager requests? "

"Besides, if the vegetables are really grown, why can't His Highness give some to His Majesty Ying Tianfu as a show of filial piety?

Then, there is His Royal Highness, the Zhongshan Palace..."

Following Guo An's words, Zhu Liang's face became more and more ugly.

He understands those people's desire for vegetables better than Guo An.

If those people really knew that His Royal Highness King Yan had grown such a large piece of vegetables on the farm, then the three guards of Yanshan Mountain would have to be transferred to watch over them day and night.

Thinking about it, Zhu Liang's face turned serious, and he looked at the group of users who were growing vegetables, "Guo Changshi, what about these farmers?"

"They don't need to pay attention to it. If anyone is curious, just tell them that I have a whimsical idea and want to grow some vegetables in autumn!"

Guo An looked indifferent.
Zhu Liang said helplessly, "But Zhu Baihu, it won't be autumn anytime soon!"

Guo An smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, it's autumn anyway."

Zhu Liang said anxiously: "Guo Changshi, the general always feels that this kind of rhetoric can't fool these farmers."

Guo An said: "Can they believe that we can grow vegetables in winter?"

Zhu Liang shook his head, "I definitely don't believe it."

Guo An laughed and said, "Yeah, they don't believe it, and no one will believe it if they say it casually. It only takes two days for them to forget about it.

As long as you, His Highness, or the old soldiers on the farm don't tell about this matter, no one will know about it. "

Zhu Liang suddenly realized, "Don't worry Guo Changshi, the general will definitely order the veterans on the farm well."

"Ok!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

……

It actually only takes five days to plant vegetables on one hundred acres of fertile land.

When all the farmers left, the entire farm was quickly put under martial law.

Then, a group of craftsmen built a steel frame on the [-] acres of fertile land, and installed glass with the wooden boards that had been prepared.

The dimensions of all steel frames, glass, and wooden boards were determined in advance.

Therefore, it only took five days to build the steel frame and install the glass.

On the farm, rows of shiny glass houses suddenly appeared.

"hiss……"

"It's truly spectacular."

Standing in the greenhouse, Zhu Di's eyes widened, his face full of shock.

As for Zhu Liang, there were a group of guards and veterans, and their eyes were wide open, looking around to see if there were any gaps that had been missed.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Zhu Di frowned slightly, "Guo Qing, it's actually much warmer inside than outside!"

"It's natural!"

Guo An said: "His Royal Highness, when the iron furnace is fired, it will be even warmer inside!"

"So, can we really grow vegetables in winter?"

Zhu Di was full of anticipation.

"..."

Guo An was speechless. ...
