Chapter 304 Glass is a good thing(1/2)
"Your Majesty, this acre of rice is 6 dou and 6 liters in total."
Wang Xiao and the others had a good meal and waited for a while, and the busy work that everyone there had already come to an end.
The emperor watched by himself, of course, the people in Lantian County were trying to show themselves desperately as if they were injected with chicken blood.
"It's actually so much." Li Er clenched his fists hard.
He may not know much about other places, but there is nothing he doesn't know about Chang'an City.
Last year, the yield per mu of such high-quality drylands around Chang'an City was about one stone.
But now there has been so much increase in yields, but it is still in the midst of a severe drought.
Li Er felt a buzzing sound in his ears, and his big mouth was unconsciously opened. He had already begun to fantasize about the scene of having enough food to conquer the world.
"This is not right."
Wang Xiao's voice awakened Li Er from his self-satisfaction.
“What’s wrong?”
Wang Xiao came over and fiddled with the bag of food. "I just said why are there too many, you haven't even removed the shell."
Everyone was confused. Of course, the grain was collected in succession. Could it be that your family’s grain did not have shells?
Li Er asked, "Does your grain be covered with shells?"
"Of course." Wang Xiao, who was squatting on the ground, gave a speechless answer.
"I said why did you get more grain yield per mu than I did myself? It's really dark to have it without getting the shell."
Li Er stood up with a dark face and headed straight for Wang Xiao’s granary.
Open the granary and pull open the cloth bag full of grain. It is covered with snow-white rice and equally snow-white wheat, all without shells.
"I will send your title to you after I return to the palace."
Seeing that it was true, Li Er immediately fulfilled his promise.
Wang Xiao followed him and took out a few silk cloths full of handwriting like a magic trick.
"Natural phosphate ores are widely distributed, but they cannot be used directly as fertilizer. They need to be ground first and then processed to obtain phosphate fertilizer. This thing has a great effect, and the most important thing is to increase the yield. There is a treatment method on this one."
"There is nothing to say about farm fertilizer, it has been used for many years. This one has improved methods of accumulation of fertilizer, which can improve efficiency."
"Using lime powder can kill pests, but excessive amounts will cause the land slab to reduce fertility. So we must also deal with it first and strictly control the dosage. This is my experience summed up."
“Tree ash is natural potassium fertilizer”
Wang Xiao is very open-minded. Since Li Er is willing to fulfill his promise and send him a title, he did not hesitate to give the information he had written long before he got the imperial village.
He is also responsible for explaining and informing the steps and raw materials in detail, which is really very attentive to impart knowledge.
It's indeed spacious enough.
"You said before, what kind of glass is ready?"
He ordered people to quickly pack the silk and send it to Chang'an City. Li Shimin looked at Wang Xiao as if he was looking at a gold mine.
Wang Xiao, who made good things one after another, gave Li Er the opportunity to quickly enhance the national strength of the Tang Dynasty.
"It's indeed done."
Wang Xiao knew very well that products like glass that would bring huge profits. If the inventor wanted to make huge profits on his own, he was dreaming.
It's okay to make a small fuss. Once things like glass start to spread, the aristocratic families, including Li Er, will reach out to him with red eyes.
Even if Wang Xiao is not afraid of these things, it will definitely affect his mission.
"I want to ask His Majesty to join the stake in this business."
Wang Xiao's words surprised Li Er.
In his impression, Wang Xiao is a stingy and petty person. Why is he so generous this time?
Wang Xiao understood Li Shimin's gaze, and he was very angry about it. "Don't get me wrong, I just don't want to get too much trouble."
After saying this, Li Er understood. It was nothing more than using his tiger skin to stop drinking those who wanted to reach out.
"Well, 40% is OK."
Li Er is also ruthless, and he will get almost half of the benefits when he speaks.
He was waiting for Wang Xiao to bargain with him, and his bottom line was 30%. His name was not so easy to borrow.
However, what surprised Li Er was that Wang Xiao actually responded "Okay."
On the way to the kiln factory, Li Shimin looked at Wang Xiao with a strange look. Wang Xiao felt a little embarrassed when he saw it.
Li Er subconsciously asked, "50%?"
Wang Xiao's face was upright, "Your Majesty, be a person with confidence."
Li Shimin nodded in agreement, "I am the emperor, not a human being."
This sounds a bit a bit swearing, but in fact, Li Er thinks that.
Wang Xiao was determined not to give in and kept talking about morality and credibility.
Li Shimin, on the other hand, had no principles to speak directly and said that we had said anything before?
Finally, Li Er threatened, "Last month, you and Changsun Wuji were in Pingkangfang. In order to fight for a woman with outstanding flute skills, they started fighting with King Huai'an. King Huai'an was beaten so hard that his face was covered with blood. He ran to the palace to complain, and I helped you stop him."
The King of Huai'an is Li Shentong, Li Yuan's cousin, and Li Shimin's uncle.
It was Li Shentong who was defeated by Dou Jiande first and beaten by Liu Heita again.
Li Er's threat is already very obvious. If he does not allow any profit, he will be convicted of beating the royal relative.
Wang Xiao is also a bachelor. "Half is half, but Your Majesty must make a written certificate this time and use a seal."
“This is nature.”
When Li Shimin arrived at the warehouse of the kiln factory and looked at the various types of glass piled up with shelves, he suddenly felt that face and other things might not be that important sometimes.
The kiln workers here were taken away by Li Er and went to contribute cement to the Tang Dynasty.
All the people who work now have been recruited in recent months.
Looking at the various glass products that shine brightly in the sun, especially the transparent glass that is transparent and pure, with almost no bubbles or impurities. Li Shimin suddenly turned around and looked at Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao, who lowered his head and clasped his nails, said casually, "Your Majesty, you should not be too greedy in life."
Li Shimin nodded, "Remember to pay taxes."
The Tang Dynasty also had commercial taxes, called customs and municipal taxes, and the standard was to draw one in ten.
However, if the time and place are different, the tax rate is also different.
Wang Xiao basically didn't plan to come to this world again, so he didn't care much about the wealth here. After all, he couldn't take away the mountains of gold and silver here.
The reason why I have been fighting is just to be more normal.
If he licked it without principles at the beginning, he would give it to him for nothing. Don’t say that he couldn’t stand it himself, Li Er would also have to worry about whether this person was a lunatic.
"This is the glass cover for kerosene lamps."
Wang Xiao came over to Li Shimin with a gourd-shaped glass product.
Thinking back to the glass kerosene lamp that he took to the palace by himself, and comparing the glass in front of him, Li Er felt that it was indeed more transparent and brighter.
"How much does this product produce? How much does it cost?" Looking at the rows of glass covers in the warehouse in front of him, Li Shimin couldn't help but start to fantasize about the scene of the women of the Tang Dynasty lighting kerosene lamps and weaving cloth at night.
"When it comes to glass blowing, there is no one qualified now. However, if you have a mold, you can pay more than a hundred yuan a day. As for the cost."
Wang Xiao smiled, "It's very low, very low. Anyone who grits his teeth at home can afford it."
"Your Majesty, look at these again." When you came to the flat glass, Wang Xiao introduced it. "Looking at the shape, where does Your Majesty think it is best to use it?"
Li Er was very smart. After thinking about it, he said, "Replace the window paper?"
"Yes, it will become very easy with this lighting."
"And." Wang Xiao continued, "In winter, you can use these glasses as vegetable greenhouses to light up. In that case, you can also eat fresh vegetables, fruits and melons in winter."
Li Shimin's interest became even higher, "You can only provide some fruits and vegetables in winter. Is this okay?"
Wang Xiao waved his hand, "Hot springs contain various trace elements and sulfur. Eating them for a long time is not good for the body. When a greenhouse is built in winter, it is a safe and pollution-free green food."
"What are these?" After asking about the vegetable greenhouse in detail, Li Er, who was very interested, began to pay attention to those glass products with different shapes.
"These are all planned to be sold in Goguryeo, Tubo, Tuguhun, Turkish, Fusang and other places."
"This artwork, this quality, will definitely make people there steal the head and make a big profit."
Li Er immediately understood that this was all intended to cheat people.
Not to mention those foreign countries, even without his knowledge, seeing so many exquisitely crafted glass products would have the idea of getting them at all costs.
After all, this is really beautiful, so beautiful.
Crystal clear and crystal-clear, with a unique and lifelike shape. Who can believe that these things appear in rows?
The excited Li Er went to the kiln factory to visit the production, and then went to the production workshop to watch the production.
