Glass Came Out!

"Eh, what are these people looking at? Why are there so many people?"

"Let's go and take a look. What exactly is written on the notice? It won't increase taxes again, right?”

"Can the literate youngsters read it? What does it say?"

"Are there so many people who can't read? Everyone, be quiet. Let me read it again for the villagers.”

People had been stopping at the gates of Yanggu County to read the notices.

After a young scholar finished reading the contents of the notice, he shook his head in confusion.

He really couldn't understand why the county magistrate's friend wanted to develop his business and specially called for men over the age of forty. Why did he say that it would affect his memory?

What was he trying to do? It actually affected his memory.

"This merchant is really biased. He actually discriminates against young people.”

"It's not discrimination. People said that it affected memory. As one got older, their memory would decline to begin with, so the impact wasn't too great.”

"Having an old man in the family is like having a treasure! If you say that others discriminate against young people, you are also suspected of discriminating against middle-aged and old people.”

"Hiss! I can actually get two strings of money in a month. I'll go and register first.”

After hearing the contents of the notice, some middle-aged men hurriedly ran to the entrance of the county government.

As for the memory loss, it was ignored. They had children and grandchildren now, and what they lacked was money.

What was memory? Could this thing be used as firewood or cooked into rice?

It was just a month of memories. It was fine if he forgot.

However, when these people arrived, they realized that they could not register by themselves.

He needed to find his family and sign a contract.

In the future, he would only be able to receive money with his family.

Many people were immediately tempted when they found out that they could get two strings of money a month.

How much money was there to chop firewood for a month? This was still worth it.

"The workshop only has one crown, but there is no limit. Why don't we join the workshop?”

The manufacturing workshop cost two strings of money, and there was an age limit.

Realizing that they could not enter, the young craftsmen immediately joined the workshop.

As the news spread, Yang Yi immediately organized the various talents with superb craftsmanship and skills.

By the time the contract was almost signed, the workshop had already been built.

The purchasing power of silver was very strong, so it did not cost much to build a workshop.

As the county magistrate, Yang Yi directly borrowed money from the county magistrate in the county treasury and did a business without capital.

Huang Yisong, the county magistrate, was naturally very good at paying. It was only a few hundred taels of silver. It wasn't a big sum, as long as Yang Yi paid it back on time.

It was better than the previous county magistrates directly taking it.

This young man had a bottom line. Don't be greedy, don't take, earn your own money.

"Sir, these are the workers of the manufacturing workshop. There are a total of twenty of them!”

Chang Yuchun gathered everyone and reported respectfully.

Yes! Have you bought all the materials?

Looking at the commoners in front of him who were dressed in patches, Yang Yi nodded and replied.

He asked about the raw materials.

He found that the Quartz sand and charcoal were already in place, so he decided to produce them as soon as possible.

The earlier he made things, the earlier he could earn money.

When making the raw materials, Yang Yi specially bought several kinds of sand to confuse others.

This was to prevent people from hyping the Quartz Sand and increasing the cost.

"Alright! I believe you have signed the contract. The things he created would affect his memory. It was not too late to quit now.”

Seeing that the twenty people were looking at him, Yang Yi reminded them again.

He had made things clear and given them one last chance.

Once the production started, no one could leave this place. They had to concentrate on production for 20 days before they could stop and rest for three days.

"Sir, hurry up and start work. My son is going to get married at the end of the year.”

"Yes! Don't worry, my lord. If he had no money, what was the point of remembering? Memories of his poor days?”

"I'm already so old. Fortunately, Daren took me in. We're all waiting to start work!"

Hearing Yang Yi's reminder, this group of people immediately patted their chests and promised.

He seemed to be afraid of poverty and was even more anxious than Yang Yi.

"In that case, let's get to work!"

Yang Yi didn't waste any time and immediately announced the start of work.

Then, the furnace started to burn the quarts and other things.

Yang Yi asked someone to make some simple equipment.

After the chemical reaction between the Quartz sand and the addition began to melt, he stayed by the side to observe.

Gradually, he found that some of the liquid was not very pure, so he asked the workers to stop the fire.

After pouring away the impure glass solution, he changed the ratio again.

After a few days of trial and error, he was finally able to produce a pure glass solution.

Only things made from this solution could be crystal clear and ornamental.

"Watch carefully. When the crystal liquid comes out, blow it hard. Then, he pressed it with an iron pipe.

Pay attention to the amount of crystal solution to reduce wastage.”

When the glass solution appeared, Yang Yi gave it a nice name, Crystal Solution.

Everyone clicked their tongues in wonder when they heard this. They thought that this thing was crystal clear, like sparkling red water.

After successfully concocting the glass solution, Yang Yi began to teach these people how to make glassware on the spot.

Under Yang Yi's manipulation, a round and flat glass quickly appeared.

After it cooled down, it became a transparent object.

He discovered that the thing that was made from sand and an unknown object was actually transparent and hard.

These craftsmen couldn't believe it and praised Yang Yi endlessly. They were extremely impressed by Yang Yi's cleverness.

"Alright, I'll do it. Now you do it! Chang Yuchun, give it a try too."

This was because the Heavenly Fire Liquid could make people lose their memories for a month. After drinking it, these people would forget everything.

He would definitely have to teach her again in the future, so Chang Yuchun had to learn it.

Although it was a little troublesome, Yang Yi felt that it was fine to go through a little trouble in order to keep the formula and secrets a hundred percent.

He didn't want glass to be everywhere just because he was lazy.

When he had money in the future, he could buy a small island or an island and let the workers produce there. It would save a lot of trouble.

"Understood!"

Chang Yuchun was also very interested in this item. Like the others, he began to make glass like Yang Yi.

It didn't go smoothly at first, but after a few tries, it was easily completed.

"Pay attention to the shape and smoothness!"

Seeing that everyone was gradually learning, Yang Yi nodded in satisfaction.

This was the place where glass components were made. When the quantity was sufficient, they would be transported to the workshop next to the county government for further processing.

As more and more glassware were produced, the workshop also began to get busy.

Crystal clear glass beads and palm-sized round glass pieces were sent over.

The craftsmen in the workshop were stunned.

They had been looking forward to seeing what the county magistrate had invented.

All of them were in disbelief.

They didn't expect these things to be so beautiful. Most importantly, they could see through people or themselves!

Many people were shocked when they saw their own appearance clearly after holding the mirror.

He instantly felt that this was a rare treasure. The county magistrate was indeed a genius!
