In the next few days, Liu Deng resumed his leisurely life again, because everything was still in the simple preparation stage. Although they still had some questions, they did not bother Liu Deng all the time.
Leisure time always passes quickly. After five days, it seemed that the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the garden were finally ready for picking. Liu Deng drove the servants out.
???????? Personally take Du Ziteng, well, direct Du Ziteng to start harvesting.
Although not many were planted at the beginning, these high-yielding crops did not disappoint Liu Deng. Looking at the five large baskets full of them, even Du Ziteng felt a little stunned.
"Your Majesty, can these things be eaten?"
When the seeds were sown, Liu Deng took him to do it. Those things together were not much, but now they are full of seeds. This is really hundreds of times more!
"Of course you can eat it, and it's delicious, but now is not the time to eat it. These are all seeds!"
Liu Deng would also like to try the taste of beef stew with potatoes, and roasted sweet potatoes seem to be a good choice, but although these things seem to be plentiful, they are still far from being promoted on a large scale.
"Otherwise"
Looking at the half-dug sweet potato and the white juice flowing out of it, Du Ziteng couldn't help but swallow.
"Come on, these are all seeds! Even if I want to eat them, I have to wait until next year. Damn it, is it easy for me to do this as the acting king?"
Liu Deng angrily kicked him on the butt and signaled him to continue working. This kid has been talking more and more recently. If he doesn't be trained and trained properly, he will develop into a chatterbox.
"No!"
When the king said this, Du Ziteng lost the courage to continue talking and could only work with his head down.
Fortunately, the king kicked all the guards out and left him alone. This incident still touched him a little.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Although he has been aching for most of the day, he is still feeling pain and happiness.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the sky, these things are finally harvested. Looking at the pile of trophies, Liu Deng felt happy.
¡°Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor has just sent someone to deliver the news that what you are looking for has been found!¡±
At this time, someone shouted in the distance, happiness came so suddenly, it was really a double happiness!
"Put these things away for me. If you get a little scratch, watch your butt!"
Liu Deng ignored the nonsense with him, pointed at the things on the ground and ordered Du Ziteng, then turned around and walked directly out the door.
"Your Majesty, this is a sample sent by someone from the Grand Tutor. I would like to ask Your Majesty to check it, but what is this thing?"
A clerk from the Internal Affairs Bureau was sweating profusely and holding a brocade box. When he saw Liu Deng coming, he excitedly opened the box and said to Liu Deng.
"Yes, yes, that's it! Where is the Master?"
Liu Deng was really excited. The preparations for Cai Xin were almost done. Among the enclosed land at Hewan, there were still more than 20 acres of good river beach land. As long as it was reclaimed, it would be good land. That was also the location Liu Deng chose to build the greenhouse.
Before these things were cultivated on a large scale, Liu Deng was not prepared to let them appear in front of others. Being dull and wealthy was the way to go. As for the old man Liu Bi, King of Wu, when he calmed down, some of them were slow in kung fu. Deal with him slowly.
"My lord Taifu is already organizing civilians to prepare for mining, but I don't know how much your Majesty needs?"
Since the emergence of the salt-drying method, Zhang Tu has basically given unconditional support to Liu Deng's decision, including this time.
Although the old man also felt that these broken stones had nothing to do with food, he still chose to believe Liu Deng.
"Tell Mr. Taifu, the more of these things the better. All the civilians who are recruited will be paid generously. If someone really doesn't want to, there is no need to force it!"
After all, if you want to turn this thing into an industry, forcing the use of privileges will not last long. All those who work must make money, and this will be considered a complete industrial chain.
"No!"
Although this little official didn¡¯t understand why Liu Deng was doing this, but since the king said the more the better, let the civilians be more bold and dig.
The problem of raw materials was solved, and the preparation work was almost done. Two days later, this most primitive glass workshop was finally on the road.
In an original small ironworks, a furnace was specially vacated and given to Li Shaojun for use.
For this first refining, Liu Deng didn't know whether this thing could be finished. He just followed Li Shaojun and watched the craftsmen use animal power forging hammers to crush the mined quartz stones, and finally added them all to the crucible. middle.
What's left is a long wait. Several men started to pull a sheepskin bellows with all their strength. As they moved, the temperature of the stove became higher and higher. In the simple room, everyone's eyes were fixed on the crucible. of mineral powder.
Although it is already late autumn, the ravages of the autumn tiger have not passed yet. In addition, standing next to the iron-making furnace, Liu Deng's clothes have long been soaked with sweat. But now, all his thoughts are focused on into the huge crucible.
As the temperature continued to increase, the mineral powder finally showed signs of melting.
"It's melting, it's melting!"
Li Shaojun exclaimed in surprise. In the past few days, although he had read everything Liu Deng had written down, he was not sure whether the stone could be melted or whether it could be done.
Now seeing these quartz stones finally starting to melt, Li Shaojun's heart was filled with ecstasy.
"Don't worry, I don't know if it will work or not. It's still only the first step!"
Although the quartz stones they selected this time were of the best quality, even so, there should be many impurities in these naturally formed quartz. Liu Deng only knew that the most important process was to remove them. Iron, but he doesn't know how to remove it, but I guess it won't be a complete failure
After more than an hour, the mineral powder in the crucible finally melted into magma. Liu Deng directed the craftsmen to carefully pour the magma into the prepared flat mold, and then pressed a few pieces on top. Huge bluestone slab.
When the temperature gradually dropped, about an hour and a half later, several craftsmen carefully opened the mold, revealing the dark green glass inside.
"It's too reluctant to call this thing glass. Although the color is a bit too green, almost as good as emerald, Liu Deng's heart was still filled with ecstasy.
Since it is done, it means that your method is correct. The reason why the color is so green should be the iron. As for how to remove it, that is Li Shaojun's problem.
The orderer carefully lifted the earliest piece of glass into the sun. Looking at the sunlight coming out of the glass, Liu Deng's heart was filled with joy.
With just a little improvement, there is hope for your own glass greenhouse!
"Reward, everyone will be rewarded with ten guan at a time. If you can make transparent glass, you will be rewarded with 100 guan and ten acres of fertile land!"
The craftsmen who were still a little nervous at first, but after hearing the huge reward Liu Deng offered, their eyes instantly turned red.
"This matter is left to you. You still have one month to solve these problems. How to make the color fade, this is what you have to solve!"
Liu Deng patted Li Shaojun on the shoulder, then whispered a few words in his ear, telling him the process of iron removal in his impression, and the rest was up to him.
