The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 41 Production
"In the future, the production of glass and porcelain can only be carried out in Fufengzhai, and the shops that sell them can only be set up in Yanyang City."

"Why?" Ya Su couldn't understand this. People who do business like to set up shops in prosperous cities, and Yanyang City is obviously not suitable.

"Because Yanyang City is too poor." Su Tang replied, and when the business gets bigger and bigger in the future, maybe shops will be set up in various cities, but not in the early stage.

Glass and colored porcelain are popular things, and they are not afraid of not being able to sell them. They set up shops in Yanyang City. In the future, many merchants will come here admiringly and consume in the city, which can drive the income of the people of Yanyang City.

"The owner of the village really helps the world and the people." Ya Su had been exposed to business since she was a child, and soon thought of the key points. She only thought that Su Tang couldn't bear the hardship of the people in Yanyang City, and wanted to help them.

Walking a little further, you can hear the bustling sounds in the courtyard of the melting kiln from a distance, and then walk in, and see everyone discussing together.

"You can't, it's crooked."

"That, that, you poke a hole."

"Let's not talk about what it looks like, do you think this thing looks like ice that won't melt?"

"Crystal clear, really."

"This is purer than the best jade crystals. How much do you think it will be worth if you take it out?"

"Give way, the village master is here!" The people crowded around turned their heads to see that Su Tang was walking towards this side, and shouted at the top of his voice.

As soon as the people surrounding her heard this, they made way out of the way, and they dared not yell loudly. Since they knew that Su Tang could do all kinds of miraculous things, everyone respected and believed in her very much.

Wu Chong, Liu Zhonglin and Li Sheng were all there, surrounding the burning red and softened glass, pinching it with iron tongs, but they couldn't make the desired shape, and the furnace not far away was crackling. , what they threw on the ground were all their failed works.

Su Tang picked up a fist-shaped barrel-shaped glass to examine. After studying it for a long time, he didn't know what it was, but the texture was good, and it was a very transparent transparent color without any other light variegated colors. The tiny bubbles should be related to their unskilled production.

"That's a teacup." Seeing Su Tang's doubts, Li Sheng explained awkwardly.

"A water glass without a bottom." Su Tang raised his eyebrows and joked with a smile.

"Village Master, after this thing melts, how can it be fixed into a soft shape?" They started with enthusiasm today, but they soon encountered this problem.

The softened glass is like mud, just kneaded into the desired shape, and it will fall into a soft ball before it cools down.

"In the process of kneading, you need to fix the glass on the iron rod and then rotate it non-stop to solve this problem, or you can carve some molds out, such as making the middle of the mold into the shape of a vase, and then soften the The glass is placed on the top of the hollow iron pipe, blown in the mold, and it will become the shape in the mold." Su Tang told them what he knew.

"Village Master, why don't you make two for us to see?" Li Sheng asked expectantly, and even the spectators nodded repeatedly.

In their hearts, Su Tang is omnipotent and omnipotent.

Su Tang was a little bit embarrassed, don't look at what she said, if she did it, she wouldn't know it at all, so she had an idea and quickly dumped the blame, "Why don't you let Miss Yasu try it, she will be responsible for the glass thing in the future Responsible."

They had noticed this woman with a cold temperament a long time ago. After hearing what Su Tang said, she turned out to be a well-known Yasu girl with a beautiful appearance. It's really amazing, and I applauded again and again for a while.

They are all common people living in this area. Although they have never been to Qingyan Pavilion, they have all heard of the thunderous reputation of the beautiful women.

It is said that the women inside are all extraordinary, talented, proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, poetry and painting, can talk about world affairs, and sing tender little tunes. These women are like gods in the eyes of the common people. Now I can see them , how can you not be excited.

"Then let me try it." Ya Su stepped forward and followed what Su Tang said just now.

At the beginning, she had no experience and made two broken ones, but soon she grasped the characteristics of glass, and saw her flipping back and forth with iron tongs in her bare hands, and soon a vase with a round belly and a narrow mouth appeared in front of everyone. There are also simple patterns carved on it, shining brightly against the fire in the furnace.

"Miss Yasu is really amazing."

"This, such a pure crystal is actually made by us."

"It's all money. We can produce such rare treasures. Isn't it that we are constantly producing money?"

"This will definitely be liked and collected by those rich people."

As the first finished product, unlike those defective products on the ground, it brings people the unique charm of glass.

It is said that things are rare and expensive. In modern times, these sparkling glass can be seen everywhere, so naturally it is not rare, but it is different here. No one thought that something purer than crystal could be made. The value is self-evident.

"The quality of glass is better than colored glaze. I suggest that the price should be higher, the output should be less, and the route of luxury collection should be taken." Yasu quickly thought of a sales method for glass.

"No need." Su Tang shook his head, "Glass is not easy to make. It is naturally precious. Glass is beautiful, but it is simple to make. It cannot be classified as gemstones. The price is about the same as precious silk. Although it is rare, it is not bought. The kind that can’t be reached.”

"Okay." Yasu replied.

Taking advantage of everyone's presence, Su Tang took a few people to find a quiet place, and simply made arrangements for the following things together.

"Liu Zhonglin, you select a group of people who can make pottery from the stockade, or those who are handy, to train and guide them to make glass and porcelain in the future."

It is impossible for Ya Su to do everything by herself, and she will also take care of the business in the later stage, so she must train a group of masters to be responsible for production.

"Ya Su, I'll leave the glass and colored porcelain to you. If you need anything, just ask Wu Chong and Liu Zhonglin."

"Li Sheng, as more and more people are employed in the stockade, you should register well. If you are too busy, you can find some literate people to form an accounting room, and let them be responsible for the registration and then collect them at your place. For example, you can Find someone who is professionally responsible for registering the glass. If he is too busy, you can hire someone to manage and assist with the work, and improve it level by level. Your position will be very cumbersome and busy in the future. , Lay the foundation early.”

"Fang Yong, recruit another group of people to join the guard team. Not only gunpowder and glass need to be strictly protected, but also the ambush gunpowder point outside the stockade must be patrolled. One is to prevent it from being stolen, and the other is to pay more attention to come to investigate outsiders."

"Wu Chong, you lead people to fill the ambush points around the village with gunpowder, and then set up more ambush points farther away. It is best to bury them underground so that they are not easy to be found."
