Daming: At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang simulated the National Games

Chapter 105 Building a glass factory and the banquet begins

This is not the limit of this army.

As we all know, the greater the number of people, the slower the marching speed.

If the number of this army is reduced to a thousand people, the speed will be even faster.

Not to mention that Zhu Gaoxu still implements an elimination system.

If only the elites are left, the speed will undoubtedly increase.

Zhu Gaoxu did not dare to think about how far the march would be on that day if other aspects were not considered.

Looking at the dust behind the army, Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

As the entire army arrived, Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and ordered a rest.

In fact, there is nothing to repair, just a few miles. For this army at this time, it is not a big problem.

Zhu Gaoxu was mainly waiting for other materials to arrive. Now that the people have arrived, the building materials have not yet arrived.

Zhu Gaoxu could only wait.

Fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu was not kept waiting for long, and various materials were shipped over one after another.

Sand, gravel, bricks and some wood were delivered immediately. With these things, the entire army finally had work to do.

With nothing to say, Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and ordered the stove to be turned on.

A group of soldiers took shovels and other equipment and began to dig.

Looking at this scene, Zhu Gaoxu found a familiar feeling.

Just like the construction teams of later generations...

As everyone officially started work, Zhu Gaoxu was not idle either.

I asked someone to bring a pen and paper, and drew a drawing of the furnace on the paper.

First of all, if you want to make glass, you need to meet the temperature standards.

The melting point for making glass is around 700 to 800 degrees, so the furnace naturally needs to be a bit particular.

"The chimney should be long and the opening should be small."

While talking, Zhu Gaoxu was still drawing on the paper.

"In addition, we need to buy good coal and test the furnace first after it is built. If it doesn't work, I will go to the emperor and tell him to use the royal family's coal to burn it."

Zhu Gaoxu kept giving instructions to the people below, while the soldiers followed Zhu Gaoxu's orders and dug roughly.

"Yes, it doesn't take up much space, but it must be surrounded by a fence!"

"Yes, yes, that one, let's start over there!"

Some people dug the foundation to build the factory building, and some started nailing wooden piles to build the outer perimeter.

There are also some people who started to build the furnace according to Zhu Gaoxu's instructions.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the sky and ordered Mao Xiang to organize the soldiers to return to camp after dark.

In this way, everyone worked passionately until dark, and Zhu Gaoxu followed everyone back to the military camp.

After ordering the fifty servants he brought to be settled, Zhu Gaoxu fell down and went to sleep.

I am really too tired.

Building a glass factory cannot be completed in a day or two.

Even if Zhu Gaoxu led more than 7,000 people to do it, it would have taken five days.

Just when the glass factory was about to be completed, someone from the family came to ask Zhu Gaoxu to go back.

Zhu Gaoxu has not been home for the past five days.

First of all, the work here is really busy, especially the construction of the furnace, and Zhu Gaoxu must personally guide it.

Secondly, Zhu Gaoxu did not dare to go back.

He took away almost all the servants at home. He was really afraid that his father would spank him when he returned.

But now his father has sent someone to call him, and he has to go back.

In the early morning, as soon as Zhu Gaoxu got home, the first thing he did was to order his servants to get him a few buckets of bath water, and then he took a happy hot bath.

He has been very busy these days. He was dirty and tired at the construction site. The conditions in the military camp did not allow him to take a shower. Zhu Gaoxu, who had just returned home, felt itchy all over his body and could not bear it for a second.

After taking a shower, a refreshed Zhu Gaoxu walked out dressed neatly.

I found that there were a lot more servants at home, and they were all very busy.

After finding someone to find out the location of his father, Zhu Gaoxu went to the front hall and found his father.

"Father, what's the important thing for you to bring me back?"

Zhu Di was dressed very formally today, showing his domineering look in a python robe.

While he was secretly blaming himself, he became furious when he saw Zhu Gaoxu.

"Do you still know how to come back?"

"Why don't you die outside?"

Knowing that his father was speaking out of anger, Zhu Gaoxu chuckled and walked to his side and said, "Father, please calm down. I've been busy with the military these past two days, so I haven't had time."

"Haha, is there something wrong with you?"

"Besides, you are busy with the military, so why did you call my servants here? To fight with you?"

"Damn it, I have to borrow people from your grandpa to host this banquet."

When Zhu Gaoxu heard his father's words, he realized that the extra servants at home were borrowed from the Duke of Wei.

According to Zhu Di, the reason why he was called back today was because his father had set the date for the banquet to be today.

He asked why the servants were so busy and had been making arrangements for a long time.

After understanding, Zhu Gaoxu said directly: "I have caused trouble to my father. Is there any other child who can help me now?"

Zhu Di turned to look at Zhu Gaoxu, calmed down and said, "I have prepared everything. When the time comes, I will introduce you to a few uncles, and you can just perform normally, but don't do any work for me."

After saying that, Zhu Di seemed to have thought of something and looked at Zhu Gaoxu with an uneasy expression.
