"What a big deal! Isn't it just broken? Everyone makes mistakes when doing this. Who among you has never broken something? It's a trivial matter, don't be afraid! Once it's broken, let's just keep doing it. Anyway, we now know that

How did you make this thing? It's not a big deal! Come on, come on! Let's clean it up, melt the broken glass in the furnace, and then do it again!" Gao Huaiyuan immediately comforted the craftsman.

With Gao Huaiyuan's attitude, several craftsmen were immediately grateful to him. They quickly cleaned up and started trial production again.

The hard work paid off. After a lot of hard work, they finally produced some glass plates with relatively high transparency and almost colorless. After annealing, they were taken out of the glass kiln.

The next thing will be easy to handle, isn't it just the silver mirror reaction? It's simple, tin foil and mercury are enough! Gao Huaiyuan has already prepared these things. Considering the confidentiality of the process, Gao Huaiyuan chose to withdraw all

After that, I came to do this work by myself. I found a special room, got a big mask and put it on, and started working.

After another day, Gao Huaiyuan finally took out a finished glass mirror with satisfaction and displayed it in front of everyone.

When everyone saw their own faces reflected in the mirror, they couldn't help but be surprised. This was the first time in their lives that they could see themselves so clearly. They used to feel good when they looked at bronze mirrors, but now they use this kind of mirror.

After looking in the glass mirror, I realized that there were still pockmarks on my face, haha!

Even a fool, after seeing this rare thing, knew that it was definitely worth his money, and they all sighed, Gao Huaiyuan is really a genius, he can even tinker with such a rare thing, it is simply amazing.

!

As for the packaging, Gao Huaiyuan didn't need to think too much. He sent people to the county town and asked a master carpenter to measure the size of the glass mirror and use the most precious golden nanmu to make an exquisite frame. He took it back and inlaid the glass mirror into it.

It's finished.

Gao Huaiyuan bought this thing for more than a dozen yuan at once, but he only took out three yuan and sent it to Jubaozhai. The result was as he expected, these three mirrors paid off what he owed Shopkeeper Ma.

All the money was offset, and after shopkeeper Ma saw this glass mirror, he almost fainted with excitement. In his eyes, this thing is absolutely priceless. If it is sold on the market, it will damage the value of this thing, so

After receiving these three mirrors, he immediately offered Gao Huaiyuan a sky-high price and begged him to make more of these mirrors and supply them to Jubaozhai.

Now Gao Huaiyuan has long become the cornucopia in the eyes of Jubaozhai. Pieces of crystal clear glazed vessels are continuously sent to their Jubaozhai from Gao Huaiyuan, making their Jubaozhai very popular in many places for a time, and it begins to fade away.

They have the momentum to overtake Duobao Zhai. At least with this glass product, they can compete with many big players in the industry.

Because of this glaze ware matter, colleagues in the industry have already been in a quarrel. They are constantly asking where so many rare things from Jubaozhai come from. They want to compete with their Jubaozhai for this supply of goods. The boss of Jubaozhai is not a fool. Back then,

Realizing this, he chewed it to death. This thing was made by their Jubaozhai, and there was absolutely no way it could be spread to outsiders. This made many colleagues give up on this idea.

Therefore, according to the original agreement with Gao Huaiyuan, the goods they obtained from Gao Huaiyuan were kept secret. Even this kind of thing was not sold on the market at all in Daye County. Therefore, regardless of the production of glass,

From Daye County, there are really very few people who really know about this matter. Only the general manager of Jubaozhai and Shopkeeper Ma of Daye County know about this matter, so Gao Huaiyuan avoided a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The profits of glass products were already terrifyingly high. This time after Gao Huaiyuan took out the glass mirror, he doubled the profits several times again. The price was so high that Gao Huaiyuan felt like he was dreaming after hearing it. Fortunately, he was now mentally

The quality is good, otherwise, if I were to change my mind, just hearing the price, I would have jumped to the ground and died.

This is not surprising. When everything first appeared, it was a rare commodity, and it was normal for the price to be high. Historically, glass mirrors were first invented by Venetian craftsmen hundreds of years later. At that time, a mirror that was not very good was sold in France.

If it can be sold for 150,000 francs, you can know the value of this thing!

Gao Huaiyuan is after money now. If he were an official now, as long as this mirror alone was delivered to the right person, he would definitely be able to get a job as an official with this mirror, but he could

He has no intention of being a bullshit official of the Song Dynasty. Now his only thought is to build a force of his own as soon as possible.

After finishing the glass mirror, Gao Huaiyuan quickly used another batch of soap to cover the Wang family's debt. After a period of operation and production in the soap workshop, the quality and technology gradually stabilized, and the output also increased steadily.

As long as he masters these things, it can be said that as long as he has sufficient raw materials, he can produce as much as he wants.

In order to meet the production needs of the soap workshop, Gao Huaiyuan specifically asked Xue Yan to select several specialized suppliers in nearby counties and counties, and asked them to specialize in supplying various raw materials in Wohu Village, and they were never in the same company.

, purchasing all raw materials, through this method, to ensure that the secret of his raw material formula will not be leaked.

When the weather turns colder, another winter has arrived, and the production of the two major workshops in Crouching Tiger Village is officially on track. Various finished products are continuously delivered to Jubaozhai and Wangjia.

The two of them were very happy with their partners, and they made a lot of money relying on these two products.

Not to mention how glass products are so popular, just talking about this soap, as long as everyone has used it, everyone will praise it, so it quickly became popular in the upper class society of the Song Dynasty, not only the young girls and young wives used this thing

, even the gentlemen fell in love with this thing after using it. Although this thing was priced very high by the Wang family, and a piece of soap cost almost two guan, it did not stop the rich people from enthusiastically pursuing this kind of thing.

Knowing that this is a tribute requested by the palace, ordinary people can use this. It is not only a question of whether it is easy to use, but also a matter of using this thing, and I feel that my face is ruined!

Therefore, this kind of thing has become a very popular thing since it was put on the market. In addition to leaving enough for the palace to stock up, the rest of the things are often sold out as soon as they show up, and there are many wealthy people.

Setting money in advance to buy soap has even become a gift for the upper classes. It can be said that they only worry about having no place to buy, but not no place to sell.

Therefore, Gao Huaiyuan only considers the issue of expanding production, and does not ask about sales issues at all. Anyway, he just buys as much as he can, so why bother with that!

In order to expand production, Gao Huaiyuan simply lived in Crouching Tiger Village completely, leaving all the affairs of the Gao family's old residence to Xue Yan, and he devoted himself to the affairs of Crouching Tiger Village.

After surveying the terrain around Crouching Tiger Village, Gao Huaiyuan decided to expand the scale of Crouching Tiger Village again and expand the workshop area in the backyard towards the mountains for future expansion of the workshop, and in the daily training of teenagers

, added a logging work, starting from Wohu Village, gradually cutting a passage deep into the vicinity of the copper mine, to prepare for the future opening of the copper mine, and in order to conceal people's eyes and ears, the flat land on both sides of the road was burned to clear up wasteland.

We need to add some fields to prepare for the families of the miners to be cultivated. At least the logistics work is moving forward first.

Gao Huaiyuan told no one about this copper mine. He just asked everyone to follow his instructions. As for why, he didn't tell anyone. The people in Wohu Village also formed the habit of not asking. Anyway, his words will be ignored in Wohu Village.

It is an imperial edict and must be fulfilled without any compromise.

This kind of life is busy and fulfilling, and everyone is so busy that they have no time to think about other things. Although it is very tiring, compared with the previous wandering life, this kind of life can be regarded as paradise!

At this time, the situation in the Jin Kingdom in the north is further deteriorating. The emperor who is having the most difficult time in the world at this moment is probably the current Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Jin Xuanzong Wanyan Xun.

Wanyanxun is the grandson of Jin Shizong and the elder brother of Jin Zhangzong. After Zhangzong died of illness, King Wei Zhao seized power and became the emperor of the Jin Kingdom. As the elder brother of Jin Zhangzong, he lived in fear all day long. Fortunately, Hu Shahu rebelled and killed him.

After losing King Zhao of Wei, he made him emperor in the first year of Zhining (1213).

To be honest, when he first became the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, he felt really good. But after he became the emperor, he realized that this job was definitely not a good job, and it must not be said that he had the power in his hands.

How big! Just these bad things at home and abroad are enough for him to drink a pot.

Since he ascended the throne, Genghis Khan of the Mongolian Kingdom in the north has continuously sent troops to encroach on the territory of the Jin Kingdom. When facing the Mongolian army, the Jin Kingdom's army was almost always defeated in every battle, losing almost the entire northern territory. And this Genghis Khan was greedy

His desire was still not satisfied, and he repeatedly sent envoys to force him to surrender to Mongolia. At first, Mongolia was a territory of the Jin Kingdom. How long ago, it has become so powerful that it almost makes the Jin people feel like they are in a dream.

!

Jin Xuanzong saw that his Kingdom of Jin could not defeat Genghis Khan's Mongolian cavalry, so he had no choice but to send envoys to agree to Genghis Khan's harsh conditions in the second year of his accession to the throne, which was the second year of Zhenyou.

King Wei Zhao's daughter, Princess Qi, and five hundred boys and girls were donated to Genghis Khan, and he also gave Mongolia 3,000 pieces of embroidered clothes, 3,000 horses, and countless gold, silver and jewels as compensation, finally allowing Genghis Khan to temporarily lure him away.

The soldiers withdrew from Juyong Pass, finally allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Zhongdu (now Beijing) was too close to Mongolia, Jin Xuanzong did not want to be beaten by the Mongolian army to the capital of his country every two days and live a life of fear, so he adopted some timid and fearful officials in the court.

On the advice of the dead, despite the opposition of many courtiers, he decided to move the capital to Bianliang, the ancient capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, on the edge of the Yellow River.

However, he had just moved the capital from Zhongdu to Bianliang, and then angered Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan's reasoning was that while he was suing for peace, he moved the capital to Bianliang. It was obvious that he had no sincerity in suing for peace, so he immediately attacked again.

The Great Jin Kingdom soon captured Zhongdu, cutting off the connection between the Central Plains of the Great Jin Kingdom and Liaodong, and the damned Pu Xianwannu immediately proclaimed himself emperor in Liaodong. Unfortunately, the territory of the Great Jin Kingdom shrank overnight.

Almost half of it!

But no matter what, now that he is staying in Bianliang City, he is finally far away from Mongolia. Now he can finally feel a little more relieved, but he does not know that these two actions of his will push the Great Jin Kingdom away.

Facing the situation of destruction, you must know that once the central capital is lost, the Hebei plain will be flat. For the cavalry of the Mongolian army, they can come and go freely in Hebei and other places of the Jin Kingdom. In fact, if he does this, it is equivalent to destroying the Jin Kingdom.

The country was re-placed in the situation of the Northern Song Dynasty a hundred years ago, completely forgetting how the Jin Kingdom destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty and occupied the land north of the Jianghuai River in the Northern Song Dynasty!

Moreover, abandoning Zhongdu also completely caused the Jin Kingdom to lose its ability to control the Liaodong area in the north. This matter can be said to be the stupidest thing he has done in his life.

After he moved the capital to Bianliang, he became angry when he thought of the infuriating things the Xixia Kingdom had done in the past years when their country of Jin was being repaired by the Mongols. Last year, he convened ministers to discuss punishing the Xixia Kingdom.

, but it aroused the opposition of Shaanxi Xuanfu Division, and finally had to give up, but he really couldn't swallow this tone, so at the beginning of the year, he finally adopted the suggestions of some ministers, made a sudden move again, and decided to start a war against Xixia,

Qingshannu, the general manager of Qingyang, left Huai'an Village, and Wanyan Hulu, the governor of Huanzhou, left Huanzhou. He arrested Wanyan Gou'er and arrived at Xiguan Fort in Lanzhou to cover up the Xixia troops at Ami Bay.

Originally, he wanted to use this war against Xixia to repair Xixia, a small country that once surrendered to the Jin Dynasty. However, after the war started, he discovered that the Jin Dynasty was no longer the same martial arts power it had when it had just destroyed the Liao Dynasty.

The Great Jin Kingdom is in the world, and the army of the Great Jin Kingdom is no longer what it used to be. Against the small Xixia Kingdom, they have been fighting from July to now, but they have not been able to take down much of the Xixia Kingdom.

On the contrary, the land was lost and the generals were lost. After the battle report was sent to Bianliang, it can be said to be terrible.

Jin Xuanzong is so depressed now! And that's not to mention, since the Mongols began their southern invasion, they have burned, killed and looted many times in Hebei, Shandong and other places. The Jin Kingdom was in financial difficulty and had to increase its exploitation of the people in various places.

As a result, Han people in Shandong and other places revolted one after another. First, Yang An'er of Yizhou rebelled. He called himself the Red Coat Army because he was wearing a red coat. Then came Li Fu. Li Quan's two brothers rebelled because his mother and brother were killed by the rebels.

rebellion, and Liu Erzu also rebelled, forming the three most powerful armies of the Red Coat Army. Apart from these three troops,

After the Mongols withdrew northward, although Jin Xuanzong sent his most elite flower-hatted army servant San Anzhen to Shandong to suppress the Red Coat Army, he also achieved some results, defeating Yang An'er's rebel army one after another, and

Under the betrayal of the traitor, the big leader Yang An'er was killed.

At the same time, not long after, the rebel leader Liu Erzu was killed, and even Li Quan was almost killed by their Jin army. The battle situation seemed to be improving a little, but it failed to extinguish the Han rebels in Shandong. After this year, although Yang An'er was dead , but not all the soldiers and horses under his command were dispersed. His sister Yang Miaozhen continued to lead the army and fought against the army of Pu San Anzhen. Huo Yi and Peng Yibin, Liu Erzu's subordinates, also continued to lead Liu Erzu's remnants, and then fought with Jin When the army confronted each other, Li Quan led the troops and joined forces with Yang Miaozhen. They became husband and wife and retreated to the East China Sea, gaining momentum to become powerful again.

After the Mongolian army captured Zhongdu (today's Beijing), in the autumn of the fourth year of Zhenyou's reign, they sent Sanmohe Batulu and his cavalry to attack Guan and Shaanxi via Xixia, and made a tentative attack on Bianjing, the new capital of the Jin Dynasty. In August, the Mongolian army entered Yan (now Fuxian, Shaanxi), Yan (now Yan'an, Shaanxi), attacked Fangzhou (now Huangling, Shaanxi). In October, they captured Tongguan, and Nipangu Puluhu, the governor of Jin'anxi Jiedu, died in the battle. The Mongolian army marched eastward to Shaanzhou ( Today's Shaanxi County, Henan). Jin Pingyang's Minister You Chengxuding took the southeast road of the river, and 15,000 troops from Huai and Yu came from the middle of the river to help. He also sent his servants to lead the army to Shaanxi, and resisted with all their strength. Jiang (today's Xinjiang, Shanxi), Jie (today's old Jiezhou southwest of Yuncheng, Shanxi), Ji (today's Ji County, Shanxi), Xi (today's Xi County, Shanxi), and Yu (today's Yu County, Henan) prefecture's economic strategy departments joined forces to attack. The Mongolian army traveled from the Songshan Mountains to Ruzhou (now Linru, Henan Province) and plundered them. In November, they headed straight for Bianjing and were about to kill Bianliang City.

Jin Xuanzong began to panic again. He originally thought that after moving the capital to Bianliang, he would be more stable, but he did not expect that he would still be unable to live here. The Mongols actually chased him outside Bianjing City.

So in desperation, he had to urgently order Anzhen, the servant who was suppressing bandits in Shandong, to lead the elite flower-hat army to quickly return to Bianliang to aid. At the same time, he ordered the deputy privy envoy Xu Ding to lead his army to Bianjing for rescue.

Fortunately, Pusan ​​Anzhen returned the troops quickly, and finally intercepted and defeated the Mongolian army when Sanmo and Batu Lu's Mongolian army reached Xinghua Camp in the west of Bianjing City, while Xu Ding's The army also returned to Bianjing City. After Sanmo and Batu Lu saw that the Jin army was well prepared, he led the Mongolian army back to the north. Pu San Anzhen led his troops to recapture Tongguan, finally saving the life of the Jin Kingdom.

The emperor Jin Xuanzong is really a loser! He is surrounded by these annoying things all day long. It is difficult to be clean for two days. Seeing the situation of the Jin Kingdom, Mongolia cannot defeat it. If this continues, sooner or later he will be defeated. The Mongolian Kingdom was destroyed, so Jin Xuanzong's mind began to become active again.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Minister Youcheng, Shuhu Gaoqi, is asking to see your Majesty!" When Jin Xuanzong had a headache, a chamberlain ran into the palace to report to him.
