Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 164 The Magical Use of Glass

The capital city is located in the north. After autumn, it is very hot at noon and very cold at night. The temperature difference between day and night is getting bigger and bigger, and there are fewer and fewer vegetarian dishes on the table.

"It's been so long, why is there no movement in the glass developed by Lao Liang? No, I have to go and see."

Glass is related to the construction of solar greenhouses, which is very important to Li Changfeng.

It's good that autumn has just started, but when winter comes, there will be no fresh vegetables at all. Li Changfeng doesn't want to eat meat and dried vegetables all at once.

When he came to the scientific research institute, Liang Dafu tried to improve the steelmaking method on the spot in the steelmaking plant. When he saw Li Changfeng's arrival, he immediately greeted him.

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

Looking at the dirty Liang Dafu, Li Changfeng said helplessly: "I said, old Liang, it's already autumn, why is there no movement in the glass? Without glass, there is no way to build a vegetable greenhouse. How can I make money? Support you to continue to do scientific research? Did you not take this matter to heart? "

Liang Dafu immediately called out to Qu: "Your Highness, you can't say that. Why don't you feel relieved? We understand the glass manufacturing process, but there are still many areas for improvement. Mass production is too difficult. Purification alone is very time-consuming and labor-intensive!"

"Besides, where does the subordinate have to devote so much time and energy to such trivial matters? Should the artillery be built? Should the musket be improved? And the gasoline and diesel ones, which one doesn't need to spend time and effort?"

Li Changfeng was speechless for a moment.

indeed.

Ever since he discovered Liang Dafu as a scientific research genius after his soul transmigrated into this world, he would tell Liang Dafu the method for anything he wanted to do, and let him research it by himself, while he himself was a shopkeeper, enjoying life every day.

Liang Dafu has indeed undertaken too many scientific research tasks, and in terms of importance, making glass and building vegetable greenhouses is really not that important.

"Okay...you have a point."

Li Changfeng sighed, and did not put on airs of his prince.

However, Liang Dafu realized that his attitude towards Li Changfeng was inappropriate, and he said apologetically, "Your Highness, forgive me, why don't you put other things aside and build a vegetable greenhouse first?"

Li Changfeng waved his hand: "No need, it's not impossible to build a vegetable greenhouse without glass. Now you should focus on artillery and muskets. By the way, remember to get explosives and landmines. Now Dagan is using troops. These things more important."

Liang Dafu nodded solemnly: "This subordinate knows."

"Come on!"

Li Changfeng patted Liang Dafu on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Li Changfeng, who was about to leave the scientific research institute, was moved in his heart, and patted his forehead with a happy expression.

"Even if we can't mass-produce glass, isn't this something rare? If it is made into tea cup jewelry, wouldn't it be a big seller? I almost missed a good business that can make a lot of money!"

He fell into a misunderstanding of thinking, always subconsciously measuring his views on the world with his previous life experience.

Glass was not worth much in the previous life, even if it was made into tea cup jewelry, it would not be worth a lot of money.

But in this world, that's a rare thing!
Even the finest jade is not as crystal clear as glass, which can definitely attract people's attention.

Dagan people don't understand glass, how much is it worth, or just blow it up by yourself?
Thinking of this, Li Changfeng quickly walked towards the glass production workshop and gathered all the glass production workers.

After learning about the relevant situation, Li Changfeng came to the capital again, offered a surprisingly high salary, and hired several master jewelry makers to bring him to the glass production workshop.

For the next three days, Li Changfeng was in the glass production workshop, during which time he sent people to bring a lot of gold and precious stones from the mansion.

Three days later, Li Changfeng already had more than a dozen pieces of beautifully shaped, crystal-clear glass jewelry, embellished with gold and various gemstones, showing a high-end atmosphere.

"That's right, it's really good. If this look doesn't sell for a few thousand taels, it won't be able to show the identity of the wearer."

Li Changfeng smiled happily, and ordered the workers and jewelry masters to rush to make them, while he picked the best five pieces and went to the palace.

When he saw Emperor Qianwu, Emperor Qianwu was reviewing the memorial.

"Xiao Jiu, why are you free to visit me today?" Emperor Ganwu looked a little tired.

"Father, my son is here today to give you a gift." Li Changfeng said with a chuckle.

"Oh?"

Emperor Ganwu suddenly became interested, put down the imperial pen, glanced at the box Li Changfeng was holding and said with a smile: "It is true that the sun is coming out from the west, and you boy still give me a gift? Is there something you want from me? Open it first and have a look." Say it again."

After speaking, he got up and came to Li Changfeng. Gao Dali didn't dare to get too close, so he could only stretch his neck to look.

If others talk about giving things away, Gao Dali definitely has no interest, but Li Changfeng is different. When it comes to making strange and new gadgets, the whole Daqian can't compare with him.

"Hey, father, look!"

Li Changfeng opened the box.

Emperor Ganwu glanced at the contents of the box, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face became ugly.

"You bastard, you don't have the time and energy to figure out how to get the cannons and muskets together. What are you doing with all these things? It's just a waste of time!"

Emperor Qianwu is so angry!
He worked hard for the big work, and thought that Li Changfeng would come up with something good for the country and the people, but he never thought that it would be such a useless thing.

Can't you do something right?
Li Changfeng was a little confused by Emperor Ganwu's words.

What's happening here?
Immediately, he reacted with a look of grievance.

"Father, you can't say that. To set up scientific research institutes and various factories, besides giving some worthless land, have you paid a tael of silver? As for artillery and guns, do you think you can make them by opening your mouth? No Do you need to spend money? My son doesn’t want to find ways to make money, what do you do with these things? Do you rely on your mouth like you?"

This series of rhetorical questions made Emperor Qianwu's face turn red and then black, and he angrily said: "You bastard, how can you talk to me? There are no rules at all!"

After finishing speaking, Emperor Qianwu, who knew he was wrong, quickly changed the subject.

"You said this thing can make money?"

"Ha ha……"

Li Changfeng accepted it as soon as he saw it, and didn't bother with the topic. He smiled and took out a lifelike dragon paperweight from inside and handed it over.

"This is yours!"

Then he took out a teacup with a longevity turtle carved and stuffed it into Gao Dali's hand.

"This is yours, for tea!"

As he spoke, he patted Gao Dali on the shoulder: "Old Gao, isn't this prince interesting enough?"

Emperor Ganwu stared at Li Changfeng as if, and then put his eyes on the dragon paperweight in his hand, and his eyes lit up immediately.

"Good stuff! Really good stuff!"

The glass paperweight in Emperor Qianwu's hand, the dragon is crystal clear, decorated with pure gold scales on his body, and his eyes are made of gemstones, lifelike, majestic, and full of atmosphere.

He had never seen such an exquisite paperweight.

Gao Dali was also looking at the teacup in his hand at this time, his eyes burst into an astonishing look, as if seeing a rare treasure, he held it carefully.

The body of the cup is also crystal clear, with the carving of the longevity turtle on it, embellished with the tortoise shell made of pure gold, which is full of nobility.

Li Changfeng glanced at Emperor Ganwu, hehe said: "How is it? Do you like it?"

"I like it! I like it so much! Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward!"

Gao Dali hastily bowed to pay his respects, feeling joy in his heart.

As the great eunuch who is close to Emperor Qianwu and also the person in charge of the East Factory, what treasure hasn't he seen?

But this is the first time I have seen such crystal clear and delicate objects.

The most important thing is that Li Changfeng still thinks about him when he gave Emperor Qianwu a gift, and this thought is the most precious to him.

Li Changfeng didn't look down on him because he was a eunuch slave, but regarded him as a friend and elder, which was an emotional experience he had never had before.

Just like when Li Changfeng pulled him to eat at the same table in Baishi City and Huangfu, it was heartwarming.

Emperor Ganwu took a look at the teacup in Gao Dali's hand, the astonishment flashed in his eyes, and Gao Dali immediately handed it over with a thoughtful mind.

"How can this kind of treasure be worthy of the old slave? The old slave is willing to dedicate it to His Majesty!"

He said offering it with both hands, but the reluctance in his eyes couldn't be hidden no matter what.

Emperor Qianwu was a little moved, and was about to reach out to pick it up, but was pulled back by Li Changfeng. Looking at Emperor Qianwu, he said speechlessly: "Father, are you willing to grab what belongs to me?"

"You bastard, how do you talk?!"

Emperor Ganwu yelled without any deterrent force, glanced at the Fushougui teacup reluctantly, and then set his eyes on the three pieces of jewelry in the box, his eyes burst out with an astonishing look.

"It's really a good thing. I'm rich all over the world. I haven't seen any treasures. This is the first time I've seen such treasures."

You've never seen a bastard in the world!
Li Changfeng complained in his heart, and said with a hey smile: "One of these three pieces of jewelry is for the empress, and the other two pieces, one is for the concubine, and the other is for the pearl. I will not go and send it myself. , let Father Huang be a good person, son, is that enough?"

Li Changfeng originally planned to deliver it by himself, but after thinking about it, he gave up such an idea.

First of all, today's empress wearing this kind of jewelry is an extremely effective propaganda in itself.

Emperor Daqian bestowed this item, which would naturally make other concubines in the harem envious and jealous, and would definitely attract people to follow suit and buy and compare with each other, and finally, women from other powerful families would also crave for it.

Although it is a different time and space, there is no difference in women's pursuit of jewelry and jealousy.

Build momentum first, and then after the jewelry store opens, it will definitely sell well.

"Three pieces? There are so many concubines in my harem, and you just give me three pieces? It's too stingy!" Emperor Ganwu said dissatisfied.

"Stingy?" Li Changfeng jumped up with an exaggerated expression, "The phoenix hairpin that I prepared for the empress alone is worth more than 4000 taels, your father's paperweight is worth more than 5000 taels, and Lao Gao's cup is worth more than 3000 taels." , As for the two pieces of the mother concubine and Mingzhu, they are several thousand taels, and the total sum is more than 2 taels, is this also called stinginess?!"

"So expensive?!" Emperor Ganwu was startled.
