Thank you for the invitation. I am in the Ming Dynasty and swear not to be an official!

Chapter 24 The factory is about to open
In the palace, Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong were called in again.

To be honest, although Zhu Yuanzhang has a close relationship with the two of them, he has never summoned them so frequently in the past.

It had only been a few days since I last gave them salt, and they were called again at the same time.

"Wei Yong, why do you think His Majesty summoned us today?"

"It's hard to say. The power of God is unpredictable."

"Is there any new recipe coming out?"

Hu Weiyong was stunned for a moment: "Such shocking things may not appear the same for hundreds of years. Two of them have suddenly appeared in the past few days. There can't be another one, right?"

Li Shanchang shook his head: "I really have this hunch, I'm afraid some new things are about to appear!"

Hu Weiyong obviously didn't believe it, but as soon as the two of them entered, they saw Zhu Yuanzhang holding a booklet in his hand. It couldn't be said to be similar to the sugar cubes and salt cubes from the previous days, but it could only be said to be a dime apart.

Li Shanchang was suddenly stunned: "Your superiors, won't something extraordinary happen again?"

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled: "You've got it right! Come on, come on, you two can quickly pass it around and be happy with us!"

Li Shanchang took a few glances and became even more surprised.

"Something like crystal? Sir, why does this look so mysterious? Can something like crystal be artificially created?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly: "We have already seen it. This thing called glass is indeed pure and transparent. At first glance, it looks like crystal!"

"If that's true, it's really an amazing invention! If nothing else, just changing the window paper into this thing is an incredible feat! If the palace is replaced with glass, all the halls will be brighter, and there will be more good!"

Li Shanchang started to look forward to it, while Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "In the future, not only the palace, but also you and Weiyong's mansion will have to install it! Over time, we will let people all over the world be able to install glass, so that every house will be bright!"

Hu Weiyong's heart was pounding when he saw it. He knew that this was another good and profitable business, and he could just follow it and line his own pocket!
"Your Majesty, without further delay, I will go down and arrange manpower. According to what is mentioned above, purchase raw materials, prepare the site and manpower, and strive to make glass as soon as possible!"

Hu Weiyong was so enthusiastic, and Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally very happy: "When the first batch of glass is made, you both have a share!"

Now that Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong are in high positions, almost everything in the world is at their fingertips, so that on the surface they both seem to have no desires or desires.

When such a rare thing came out, the two of them were naturally very enthusiastic.

So after white sugar and refined salt, the imperial court had another glass-making task. The two prime ministers watched it together and made rapid progress.

"This boy gave us another good recipe that will benefit the country and the people! What is the reward?"

After wondering for a while, he didn't expect the reward, but he remembered that his precious eldest daughter was still sleeping in the side room in Liao Tiancheng's dilapidated courtyard, so Zhu Yuanzhang immediately got up, changed his clothes, and went straight to Liao Tiancheng's small courtyard.

"Where is my book? Was it eaten by a dog? Who saw it??"

Far away, Zhu Yuanzhang heard Liao Tiancheng's furious voice.

"I still rely on this to make a fortune, why did I lose it? Who did it? Come forward!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly looked confused: Wasn't that booklet given to us?He wants to go it alone and make a lot of money!

What about this?
Admit it, it's embarrassing.

Don't admit it, the Imperial Guards all know that they took the booklet themselves, and the majestic emperor has no responsibility at all. Doesn't he want to be looked down upon?
After struggling for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang endured the embarrassment and entered the courtyard.

"Old man? Are you here? You sit down first. I have lost something. Let me look for it first."

"Oh, was it carried away by a mouse? Or was it stolen?"

"Old man, these forbidden troops are really unreliable. If they are here, my house can be robbed!"

Liao Tiancheng rambled on while rummaging through boxes and cabinets.After turning over and over, Liao Tiancheng was shocked again!
"What the hell??? Where did my cup go? And my few gold ingots! It's over, I've lost a lot this time! The most valuable things in my house are all gone!"

Liao Tiancheng sat down on the ground and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a collapsed expression.

The Imperial Guards all turned their heads and did not dare to interrupt.

Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched. Seeing that the misunderstanding was getting bigger and bigger, he didn't dare to wait any longer.

If you wait any longer, who knows what Liao Tiancheng will say.

"Um, Tiancheng, don't worry...we've sent the cup to your new home."

"New home? Is it Yang Xian's house?"

"Yup!"

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes and started talking nonsense: "We have received the emperor's order and told you to move to your new home immediately! If you don't go, you will be disobeying the order!"

Liao Tiancheng felt confused and temporarily forgot about the glass booklet: "Why does Your Majesty even care about such trivial matters? Are you free?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Princess Ningguo who was leaning at the door of the wing, and thought to himself, can our daughter's matter be a trivial matter?

"Okay, just move it, it seems like nothing escaped this time! But old man, did you only move my cup? Did you find anything else?"

"This really exists! I also saw a booklet called Glass Craft Guide."

Liao Tiancheng was immediately overjoyed: "It turned out that I didn't lose it. It was released to my new home! It was a false alarm! I'll take a step first to take a look at my two treasures."

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly grabbed him, thought about it for a while, and smiled awkwardly: "Well, we have sent the booklet to the imperial court and handed it over to the Second Minister of Zhongshu Province to arrange for it to be made by hand."

"!!!"

Liao Tiancheng stared at Zhu Yuanzhang and felt like he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

"Old man! That thing can make money, a lot of money! Why did you send it to the court? I still want to make money to honor you! Can I still get that thing back?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head violently.

Just kidding, if the glass is in the court, we can all spend the money it sells. If I give it to you, kid, you can spend at least part of it on us!

We must not spit out the fat we got!
Liao Tiancheng then sighed: "Oh, that booklet was given to the imperial court. What a waste of natural resources!"

Ok?
Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled: "How to say this?"

"Old man, the imperial court can use that book to make glass by following the instructions of cats and tigers, but they don't know how to adapt and can't make anything good-looking at all! If you let me make it, I can make countless styles of utensils with countless uses! In the future, not only in the Ming Dynasty, but also in the Ming Dynasty It’s a big hit and can even be sold overseas! What a pity, what a pity!”

And this thing?

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.

Sugar, salt, and glass were all invented by Liao Tiancheng, which proved his intelligence and his quick thinking.

Maybe, as he said, if he is responsible for making glass, he can do better and make more money!

With a roll of his eyes, Lao Zhu had another trick.

"This matter is easy to handle! I will give you an official report later and let you take full responsibility for making glass!"
