"I've seen Your Majesty" In the Ministry of Industry, there is a small workshop dedicated to the study of various things, although the workshop is not big, but the specifications are quite exquisite, when Liu Xie came over, Pu Yuan was commanding several workers with a solemn face What were they doing, Wei Zhong wanted to make a sound, but was stopped by Liu Xie, slightly narrowed his eyes, staring at several craftsmen carefully lifting a glass of one foot from the mold.
It wasn't until he was sure that the glass would not be broken again that Pu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and it was only at this time that he discovered Liu Xie's existence, and hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand.
"It's done," Liu Xie asked with a smile as he looked at the glass that had been carefully placed on top of a cushion by several craftsmen.
"Yes, there are already a few finished products, please take a look at them."
Pu Yuan waved his hand, and a craftsman came up with a tray.
On the tray, there is a goblet, a palm-sized dragon carving, and a crystal clear seal.
"These three are by far the most successful samples, and of course, there is the glass window that is used as a window."
Pu Yuan said with some pride.
Liuli Who would have thought that one day, the glass could be made in this way, and with the gradual proficiency of technology, it means that this thing can be mass-produced in the future, and the wealth of it, just thinking about it is exciting.
"Okay" Liu Xie said with a smile: "Spread my word, every craftsman here, in addition to Yulu, will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and those who have an official position will add another five hundred gold."
It sounds like a lot, but the imperial court is not short of this money now, and the most important thing is that once this glass product appears, it also represents an endless stream of wealth beckoning to Liu Xie.
In this era of underdeveloped transportation and information, Liu Xie himself has no way to estimate how much profit these things can bring to Liu Xie from abroad.
"Your Majesty Xie" and the craftsmen couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard this, even in this increasingly prosperous Chang'an City, they can buy a good farm, if they save a little, it is even enough for an ordinary family to live a lifetime.
"Excuse me."
Liu Xie waved his hand, looked at Pu Yuan and said, "In addition to these, there are other finished products."
"This" Pu Yuan heard this, and nodded with a wry smile: "It's just that the color is very poor, and there are many variegated colors, for fear of staining Your Majesty's holy eye." ” "What holy eye" Liu Xie couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Take it first." ” Liu Xie looked down, there were indeed a large number of glass products in it, all kinds of colors, but as Pu Yuan said, the color was very poor, some were even turbid, and there were many cracks on them, which were more than a step worse than the three things that Pu Yuan showed himself.
"Let people transport these things to the Western Regions, the farther away the better, and sell them, even if they are defective, they should be quite valuable in the Western Regions."
Liu Xie picked up a horse-shaped carving and handed it to Wei Zhongdao.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the slave will be handed over to Zhen Yao."
Wei Zhong bowed.
"Zhen Yao" Liu Xie thought for a while and shook his head: "The Zhen family has already occupied the salt transportation, but this thing can no longer be handed over to the Zhen family to take care of, if the Su family is willing to move the family to Chang'an, this glass trade will be handed over to the Su family in the future, see what they think, if the Su family is unwilling, it will be handed over to the Zhang family." ” Wei Zhong's expression moved, and he nodded in agreement: "Huh" Liu Xie looked at Pu Yuan on the side and said: "Now that the technology is mature, then gather the craftsmen who are good at this thing, set up a new workshop, set up a workshop owner, and eat 400 stones."
When Pu Yuan heard this, his heart beat a few times, eating four hundred stones, but he was comparable to him, a master craftsman, that is to say, this newly elected person, in terms of level, was no different from him, but at this moment, he didn't dare to express any dissatisfaction, so he had to nod and say: "The minister obeys the order." ” "Pu Qing rest assured, you have worked hard for the court this year, I have seen it in my eyes, and your position should also be mentioned after the year, it is best to give the paper to me before the year and find a way to streamline it again, the cost will be cheaper, if this matter is done, the official rank of the master craftsman of the Ministry of Industry will be further advanced, and the title will be improved by 600 stones."
Liu Xie looked at Pu Yuan's expression, naturally knew what he was thinking, and smiled.
Shilu 600 stones, in this Chang'an, is still a small official, but it is already comparable to the county order of some small counties, for craftsmen, it is undoubtedly a huge progress, in the past, for craftsmen, the county order, that is the day, but now it can become the existence of the position side by side.
"Your Majesty," Pu Yuan said with a look of surprise.
Liu Xie smiled and raised his hand to signal that he was exempt from courtesy, which seemed to be an exceptional promotion, but in fact, now the social status of the craftsman has been unconsciously improved, and Liu Xie's appointment this time is not arbitrary.
"Okay, let's go do something, count these defective products, and send them to the palace later."
Liu Xie glanced at the large piece of glass that came out of it, and said with a smile: "In addition, take the stone dissolving knife that I asked people to make before, cut this glass window, and send it to the palace, and the palace will assemble these first." ” There are no glass windows, even if the light in the palace is extremely dim, sometimes the lights have to be lit during the day, which is very inconvenient, with this, there will be enough money and food in the future, Liu Xie has the intention to renovate the entire palace and build a palace that is enough to pass on to future generations and become world-famous.
Of course, the premise is that the entire Han Dynasty is pacified, and there is enough money for Liu Xie to enjoy luxury.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the workmanship of this glass window is not difficult, and it should be made within a month."
Pu Yuan hurriedly replied.
"Alright, let's take me to see the other results."
Although the glass matter is still a lot worse than what Liu Xie requires, especially in terms of handicrafts, the yield is too low, but around the case, for the imperial court, this income is just as considerable, as long as it works well, even if it is a defective product, it can be sold at the price of the sample.
"Although this glass is precious, with more and more finished products in the future, the technical proficiency will only become more and more cheap."
Walking in the workshop with Master Pu, Liu Xie was a little worried that the Ministry of Industry would take the manufacture of glazed products as the primary research direction in order to please the powerful, so it was a bit upside down with Liu Xie's original intention of setting up the Ministry of Industry. ” The truth that scarcity is precious, even if you haven't read a book, it is not difficult to understand, Master Pu suppressed a little excited, but also reacted, and hurriedly arched his hand to Liu Xie and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will pay attention." ” "This matter, Pu Qing can just put it in his heart, this process is said to be a strange skill, why is it because it is not beneficial to the country."
Liu Xieniu glanced at Pu Yuan: "I take Pu Qing as the master craftsman of this Ministry of Industry, not only because Pu Qing is a master of craftsmanship, but also because Pu Qing can do practical things and is old-fashioned, I hope Pu Qing will not let me down." ” Glass was originally just a project of the Ministry of Industry, Pu Yuan supervised it, but this matter, Pu Yuan was personally in charge, and Liu Xie handed him improved papermaking, crossbow arrows, stone grinding and other things aside, although still dedicated, but for Liu Xie, no matter how good the glass is, it is just a tool for profit, even if it is popularized in the future, for the world, the significance is not as important as several others, in this matter, Pu Yuan is a little unclear.
"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister knows his mistake."
Pu Yuan broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and finally understood why Liu Xie said so much about these things today, feeling that he valued Liuli too much and ignored other things, which caused Liu Xie's dissatisfaction.
"There will be more and more things in the future of the Ministry of Industry, now it is only the separation of military industry and civilian workers, and the addition of Liulifang, there will be more in the future, each division of a workshop, will set up the position of the owner, in the future, with the continuous improvement of the status of the Ministry of Industry, the position of the master craftsman will be higher and higher, I only hope that the position of the master craftsman will always be Pu Qing."
Liu Xie nodded and said indifferently.
The Ministry of Industry can have today's status, it is Liu Xie's efforts to establish against public opinion, and it is also what Liu Xie must control, Pu Yuan is weak too much to put his connections and relationships in his heart, and ignores the development of the Ministry of Industry, such a result is by no means what Liu Xie wants, although there is no sign of this at present, but Liu Xie must first take a preventive shot, so as not to say that he is not close to people when he is not approachable.
"Your Majesty rest assured."
Pu Yuan bowed again.
"Let's go, let's see how the papermaking research goes."
Liu Xie didn't say anything more, and took Pu Yuan straight to the paper mill.

"Your Majesty, this previous papermaking technique was made from tree bark and rags" Pu Yuan began to explain to Liu Xie the progress of papermaking recently.
Cai Lun's Caihou paper raw materials are already very cheap, and the technology has matured, but for some reason, paper was not popularized in the Eastern Han Dynasty because of Cai Lun's invention, and most of the documents are recorded in bamboo slips today.
Liu Xie is not very clear about the workmanship, but from the perspective of the finished product, it is already good, and then improve, in terms of today's technology, the space is not too big, but it can still be optimized.
Why is the paper not promoted, the deep meaning of this Liu Xie does not want to study anymore, there is no need, the things involved in it at this time to study it has no meaning at all, the troubled times in the world, is a disaster, but it is also an opportunity, the old order is broken, the new order is established, the use of paper is promoted, and the monopoly of knowledge is completely broken, this is what Liu Xie needs to do most at the moment, otherwise even if he re-dominates the world and makes all kinds of innovations, but if there is no way to pass on these things, it will not take many years, It will still return to the old pattern.
If you want to be quite good, you have to break the monopoly of this knowledge, but this matter, Liu Xie is not ready to do it immediately, the first thing to do is to continue to weaken the rights of the family at the same time, and give the family enough benefits, when the family is equal to the poor family in terms of rights, it is the time when papermaking and printing technology are promoted to the world, when the time comes, even if the family is unwilling, they will no longer be able to resist anything with Liu Xie, because they are not only weakened by the right, when the time comes, they will find out, Even their economy is also controlled by Liu Xie. t1706231537:
