Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress

At this moment, Caiwei was so excited that a road to get rich quickly had opened in front of her.

She remembered that in her previous life, she had read about the origin of glass. It is said that more than 3,000 years ago, a European Phoenician merchant ship was loaded with the crystal mineral "natural soda" and sailed on the Belous River on the Mediterranean coast. Due to low tide, the merchant ship ran aground.

So the crew stepped onto the beach one after another. Some crew members also carried a large pot, moved firewood, and used a few pieces of "natural soda" as a support for the large pot to cook on the beach.

As the crew finished their meal, the tide began to rise. When they were about to pack up and board the ship to continue sailing, someone suddenly shouted: "Everyone, come and look, there are some crystal bright and sparkling things on the sand under the pot!"

The crew brought these shining objects to the ship for careful study. They found that these shiny things had some quartz sand and melted natural soda stuck to them. It turns out that these shiny things are crystals produced by the chemical reaction between the natural soda used to make pot supports when they were cooking, and the quartz sand on the beach under the action of flames. This is the earliest glass. Later, the Phoenicians combined quartz sand and natural soda, and then melted it in a special furnace to make glass balls, which made the Phoenicians make a fortune.

Around the 4th century, the Romans began to apply glass to doors and windows. Now, there is no such thing as glass in the world. Even the windows of the palace hall are all covered with vague Korean paper, which cannot capture the light. Not to mention, the thermal insulation effect in winter is also poor. If the glass window comes out, it will definitely become a blockbuster and cause a strong sensation. If it is produced and sold on a large scale, it will definitely make a fortune and quickly replace the Huo family and become the capital of the Jin Dynasty. A rich man!

Moreover, if the Mengnu people can cooperate with her, Lingbei will soon become a prosperous land. By then, the people will be wealthy and have no worries about food and clothing. Who will care about the tribes if they no longer have to live such a nomadic life? Who is the leader? What is your nationality?

Soon, Zhui Feng recovered two bags of quartz stone and a bag of natural soda. It seemed that there were quite a lot of these two minerals here!

Caiwei excitedly put these two things into the space and began the long experiment of burning glass...

Beijing

In the splendid back house of the Huo Mansion, which was full of flowers, Huo Yuan walked into the Fushou Hall where his mother, Mrs. Huo, lived. He bypassed the four-season flower screen carved with lacquer and inlaid with red emeralds, and then arrived at the main room where his mother usually lived.

The main hall was surrounded by red flowers, green willows, and pearls. It was filled with concubines and concubines given to him by Mrs. Huo. Although he had never favored any of these women, when they saw Huo Yuan, they all showed shy looks, and they all looked shy. Fu got down and said, "Young Master!"

Huo Yuan waved his hand to signal them to get up. Without even looking at them, he looked directly at the Arhat bed opposite.

Opposite me, Mrs. Huo was lying on the rosewood Arhat bed in a sickly state, leaning against a large pillow inlaid with ink-colored gold wire and engraved with large begonia flowers. She was wearing a rusty, ink-blue and two-color gold-embroidered gown with sleeves full of flowers. She is wearing a horse-faced skirt embroidered with Baoxiang flowers, and a neat ingot bun on her head. Because she is ill, she does not wear any accessories such as hairpin rings. She only wears a dark purple embroidered lucky bamboo with a bright Dadong bead inlaid in the middle. Even though she wipes her forehead, she still looks graceful and dignified. Her whole-body style is unmatched by that of ladies from small families.

On both sides of the Arhat bed, stood like wild geese wings, Mrs. Huo's four confidant maids and her dowry Gao Mama. Seeing Huo Yuan come in, a little girl came over and took a brocade velvet cushion embroidered with bamboo patterns. Place it in front of Huo Yuan.
