After being forced to marry the Demon King, she usurped the throne by relying on the infrastructure

Chapter 25 25. Soda Ash Failure and Foreign Traders

...

The messenger left with a large package and a letter from the palace.

Fortunately, they had enough to eat and drink in Heilongcheng, so it was no problem to walk back to Heilongkou.

At this moment, he didn't know what earth-shaking changes the letter in his arms would bring to their Heilongkou.

Yin Jixue sniffed, she felt a little cold.

There is a stove in the bedroom, and laying floor heating in the palace is a big project, at least the floor must be opened. This is not her house alone, and we can only wait for the devil to come back.

The second is that the palace is protected by an enchantment. She doesn't know if the renovation and construction of the palace will destroy the enchantment.

Even the windows of the magic palace are only a little better than the paper windows of the human world. Although they are not made of paper, they can still let in the wind.

Wearing thick clothes during the day and having a stove to keep warm doesn't feel like it. At night, the cold wind seeps through the gaps in the windows, which makes Yin Jixue's throat dry and sore after waking up.

She swore to herself that the glass had to be made.

She has the blueprints in hand, but the glass needs to be fired at high temperature, and the high-temperature furnace can be borrowed from the blacksmith's shop. The main problem is the material.

As we all know, the main components of glass are quartz sand, soda ash, calcite, limestone and so on.

Most materials can be found from previously unused building materials, only soda ash or soda needs to be extracted.

The simplest one is soda ash made from plant ash, but it is a big problem to obtain plants and dry them in the sun this season, and this kind can only be used in small batches, and it is impossible to pluck all the trees in the forest.

This is ruled out first.

There is also a production of soda ash using salt, sulfuric acid, charcoal and limestone as raw materials.

Hey, why don't you try it first?
Yin Jixue herself was in a hurry, it would be best if she succeeded, and if she failed, just pretend nothing happened.

She wrapped her heavy cloak around her body,
"Fengxiu, follow me to the laboratory, Ruoshui bring me something here." All the things she wrote were for the purpose of refining soda ash.

Although the palace cannot be remodeled, there are many empty rooms.Yin Jixue chose a few remote houses as her laboratory, and no one except her knew what these houses were for.

Fengxiu didn't understand why the queen gave such a strange name. This is a room that Her Highness the Queen personally remodeled, and she still turned around to come in.

This room is the same as the house built outside the palace, the walls are painted white, and there is a whole circle of cabinets against the wall in the whole room, and the counter is flat and can be used as a table top.

Yin Jixue asked the maid to open all the windows. The cold wind blew in her face and made her shiver. She pulled up her cloak, but luckily she wore it thicker when she went out.

Ruoshui came with a big bag of things, why would Her Royal Highness want these strange things?

She was also full of doubts like Feng Xiu, standing aside and waiting for Yin Jixue's order.

The first step is to convert table salt to sodium sulfate using sulfuric acid…

She tried for most of the afternoon and learned from getting started to getting into the soil.

She chooses to give up.

Blowing the cold wind all afternoon, it really is not professionals who can't do this kind of work.

"Your Highness, the messenger has been delivered."

It was somewhat unhuman for the messenger to go back in such a cold day. Yin Jixue asked Teng Snake to drive the aircraft to send the person back, and it took less than a day to go back and forth.

When they get rich in Black Dragon City, all means of transportation will be arranged, such as buses, trains, and planes.

Wake up, Yin Jixue pinched herself, the daydream shattered.Now I think a little long-term, let's get rid of poverty first.

"Well, you came back just in time. I thought of a good thing, but the materials are short."

Although she couldn't make it by herself, but with so many people in her hands and methods, someone would make it, right?

Yin Jixue informed Teng Snake of the idea and production of the glass, waiting for his reply expectantly.

"The queen is talking about Liuli?"

Glass?That's right.

"Almost, but I want glass." See what I mean?

Teng She responded immediately: "This subordinate will find someone to give it a try."

Hey, what a good subordinate, except that people who are not on her side can't find any faults at all.

But she didn't come to the Demon Race to engage in conspiracy and tricks, as long as the subordinates are obedient and loyal, it doesn't matter who it is.

Teng Snake hesitated, but still said: "Your Highness, there is one more thing..."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Why did you hesitate to speak? Could it be some accident?
"We rescued a group of people on the way back. They are the caravan of the Xuanwu tribe. They had to hibernate in the cave because of the snowstorm."

Caravan, will there be any good things?

Yin Jixue's thoughts changed all over the place.

"Do we have any enmity with the Xuanwu clan?" You have to ask first.

"No, although the king is warlike, there is no hatred between the four demon kings."

It's a pity, she thought she could be black and white, so she sighed slightly.

"Just look at the arrangement. If they have something good, ask them if they want to change it."

Teng Snake nodded and retreated. Why did Her Highness the Queen sigh earlier?

However, he still found a gray-haired old devil in the city first, and made a request to Her Highness the Queen.

"Since you are from Black Dragon City, you should also contribute to the palace." After speaking, he turned and left.

The old devil blew his beard and stared, and shouted at Teng Snake's back: "Hey, are you begging for help!"

That being said, he still read and re-read the list Teng She gave him.

"Tsk tsk, this is a good thing, the little girl in the palace is amazing."

The old devil turned around and entered the door. He lived alone in a bungalow area in the west of the city.

Opposite the Gousheng's house was originally a middle-aged witch with a child, but after renovation, her house was turned into an inn.

At first, some neighbors thought she was whimsical, who would live in the black dragon city repair inn!

Unexpectedly, a dozen or so people were sent to Qiuju Inn one after another today.

"Wow, it's a merchant from the Xuanwu clan! There's also a merchant from the Qingluan clan!" Gou Sheng tugged on A Niang's clothes, wanting to join in the fun.

A Niang grabbed Gousheng: "Don't go, that's an inn, why are you running to make trouble!"

The child of Qiuju's family opposite is just able to walk, and there is still a year before they can be sent to school.If the queen had come half a year earlier, Qiu Ju's men would not have survived the winter because of hunger and severe cold.

Fortunately, Qiu Ju is a strong woman. She managed to survive with her children alone, and her life is getting better.

Her family has many houses, and she hesitated for a long time to be an inn. Finally, she consulted Her Royal Highness, and Her Royal Highness replied to let her be firm in her mind.

I thought the inn would have to be silent for at least a year before opening, but I didn't expect the first batch of guests to arrive in just a month.

The guests were all hibernating, and Qiu Ju placed them in a room with a kang, where the heat from the chimney never stopped.

Soon the first demon woke up.He is a merchant of the Winged Tiger Clan, and the Winged Tiger Clan is rich in furs. Thanks to his thick clothes, he didn't sleep to death.

I had no choice but to hibernate outside. If it wasn't for the inability to travel and the snowstorm, I would have to find a small town or village to borrow.

However, they were unlucky, and the flying magic weapon broke in the black dragon's territory.

The entire territory of Heilong is a backcountry, and the winter is still the coldest. The most frightening thing is that the mountains have no direction. They may not be able to meet the village after walking for several days and nights.
