Lian Daci hadn’t considered this direction before, but now hearing Zhao Yao’s suggestion, he thinks it’s worth a try.
"Your Highness is wise."
"You should leverage your talents to make so other types of mirrors." Don’t underestimate the wisdom of the kiln factory craftsn. Initially, he just gave them the formula for making glass, and they managed to produce not only glass but also so glass ceramics, like vases, bowls, teacups, and other items. "These mirrors can be used to make other things too, you can think about it."
Lian Daci was puzzled, what else could mirrors be used for?
This is the test given to them by His Highness, and they must succeed.
"I won’t let Your Highness down."
"By the way, glass can also be used to make jewelry." Although in Zhao Yao’s dream world glass was cheap, in Great Zhou it is unprecedented, and the things made from it will surely be very popular. "And it can make accessories too."
"I understand."
Zhao Yao gave further instructions before returning to the Prince Han Mansion with the glass ceramics and rcury mirror he completed.
He Lianfang looked at the glass ceramics in several boxes before him, utterly shocked.
"This is the glass you ntioned?"
"Yes, what do you think, Second Uncle?" Zhao Yao took a glass vase from the box and handed it to He Lianfang, "Isn’t it exquisite?"
He Lianfang examined it closely, then exclaid, "Even more exquisite than glaze."
"This is the first batch, and there are still so flaws. When the second batch is made, it will look even better." Zhao Yao then showed He Lianfang the rcury mirror.
He Lianfang caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror and almost threw it away in shock. When he looked closely, he saw it was his own reflection.
"This is the rcury mirror you described?"
Zhao Yao nodded, "Yes, can you see clearly?"
It’s not just clear, it’s as if the truth is laid bare.
"You plan to send the glass and rcury mirror to the capital?"
"Exactly, that’s how the people in the capital will co to for purchases." To Zhao Yao, these boxes of glass items and rcury mirrors are glittering gold. "Starting next year, I’ll earn a huge profit again."
He Lianfang laughed, "Then congratulations to you." Glass and rcury mirrors allow Zhao Yao to reap gold daily.
"Second Uncle, I ntioned before that glass has great uses, not just for making money but also on the battlefield."
"Is this the clairvoyance you ntioned before?" He Lianfang rembered it and was waiting for Zhao Yao to develop it. "Is it done yet?"
Zhao Yao shrugged regretfully, "Unfortunately, not yet."
He Lianfang said disdainfully, "Then why ntion it."
"I believe the kiln craftsn can achieve it, let’s patiently wait." Zhao Yao rembered He Lianfang’s eyesight was poor and added, "I’ll make you a pair of glasses, so you can read clearly in the future." Before fitting the glasses, he needs to determine how nearsighted Second Uncle is. Looks like he has to quickly make an eye chart to test Second Uncle’s vision degree.
"We’ll talk when you succeed." No need to discuss the undone.
"No rush, take your ti." Zhao Yao felt there were too few craftsn in the kiln, and only a few were particularly skilled. "I must ask Father to send a few highly skilled craftsn."
"The palace craftsn aren’t much better than your kiln ones." Initially, when Zhao Yao wanted craftsn, He Lianfang sent people to gather them for him. "To find top-tier craftsn, you can only look for Mo Family mbers."
"I do want Mo Family mbers, but they have all retreated into hiding, where to find them." If he can find skilled Mo Family heirs, they can help him craft whatever he desires. This would save him a lot of trouble.
"You can ask your Father, maybe he knows sothing."
Zhao Yao was surprised, "Father knows the whereabouts of Mo Family descendants?" During the previous dynasty, the Mo Family was almost wiped out, and the remainder had hidden their identities. They are hard to find.
"Just ask to find out."
Hearing He Lianfang, Zhao Yao felt his second uncle perhaps knew sothing.
"Second Uncle, are you hiding sothing from ?"
He Lianfang gave Zhao Yao a sideways glance, "What do you think I’m hiding?"
"How would I know." If he knew, he wouldn’t ask. He always suspected Second Uncle was involved in clandestine dealings with his Father.
He Lianfang pointed to the teacups and teapots in the boxes and said to Zhao Yao, "I’m taking this tea set."
Seeing He Lianfang change the subject, Zhao Yao knew that no matter how he asks, Second Uncle won’t tell him.
"It was ant for you."
He Lianfang looked at Zhao Yao, rembering another matter.
"In a short while, Yan Huarong will arrive at Swamp Prefecture to transport new salt to Qilu, do you have enough new salt produced?"
"Recently, many shores have been built; by the ti Yan Huarong arrives, there will be over a thousand kilograms of new salt, enough to suppress the salt price in Qilu." ntioning the new salt, Zhao Yao thought of the recent intrusion by petty scoundrels near the saltworks, his expression turning icy, "When I’m done with next year’s foreign trade at Swamp Prefecture, I’ll deal with these pests." He’s too occupied to handle other provinces’ officials and chieftains right now.
