Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 136 The Pure Glazed Bead

"There really is such a glassware in this world, stain-free glass, clean and stain-free. It turns out that the legendary stain-free glass really exists." Master Jin started crying when he looked at the glass marbles in his hand.

Master Jin was quite old, but he still couldn't help but burst into tears after seeing the legendary glassware in his hand.

Master Jin's full name is Jin Yiming. His father gave him this name because he hoped that when he grew up, he could surpass his father and create a glassware that would shock the whole world and become a blockbuster!
And this is exactly Master Jin’s lifelong ambition.

His original focus was only on those Western Regions glazed wares, but now after seeing the stain-free glazed bead that Yang Xian took out, his goal was even further.

"If we can make such stain-free glassware, our life will be worthwhile."

"I wonder if my glass bead can satisfy Master Jin." Yang Xian looked at Master Jin and smiled.

"This little old man has blind eyes and cannot recognize the true Buddha. I hope you will forgive me." Master Jin quickly knelt down and apologized.

To be honest, it couldn't be easier to make a craftsman kneel down in this era.

It may be difficult to make the other party willing and convinced, because as long as they are craftsmen, they will have their own self-esteem.

Yang Xian would not despise the other party just because the other party could only produce some glassware that was rubbish in his eyes.

Yang Xian now has all kinds of craftsmen under his command, and he knows the temperament of these craftsmen very well.

He knew in his heart that these craftsmen were not from the same generation in their own professional fields, and each had their own unique skills. Their craftsmanship, technology, and learning ability were not weak at all, but they were just limited by the limitations of the times.

If science and technology want to develop, it must rely on these people.

This point has been verified countless times during the development of Yangzhou.

"If I remember correctly, you said before that as long as I can bring out the glassware that you will be convinced of, you will let me handle it. I wonder if this matter still counts?" Yang Xian said with a smile.

"Leave it to your discretion." Master Jin was a bachelor, so he knelt down and banged his head several times.

The willingness to accept defeat is also one of the characteristics of these craftsmen.

Zhu Biao stood aside and watched all of this quietly. In addition to being shocked by the stainless steel beads that Yang Xian had taken out earlier, he was also curious about how Yang Xian would deal with Master Jin.

"It was the villain who collided with the adults first. How the adults want to deal with the villain, the villain has no complaints. I just hope that the adults can tell where the adults got this stain-free glass bead." Master Jin raised his head. By that time, there was already blood on his forehead.

Yang Xian stepped forward and helped him up.

"My request is very simple. Master Jin will stay in Yangzhou and help me make colored glaze ware."

"As for this stain-free glass bead, it was obtained overseas, but now I have learned its firing method."

In fact, Yang Xian redeemed this glass marble directly from the civilization technology system. At this time, the Yangzhou Glass Factory was still in the preparation stage.

Master Jin held the glass marble in his hands like an ancestral tablet and handed it back to Yang Xian.

He said cautiously: "Sir, can we also make such stain-free glassware in the future?"

"I'm used to calling it glass. The glass factory outside the city was built just for this. Do you think I can bake it?"

Master Jin's breathing became rapid when he heard that he would have the opportunity to make stain-free glassware with his own hands.

Yang Xian smiled, turned to look at Zhu Biao, and said, "Of course, Master Jin, you are the person brought by His Highness. Master Jin, whether you can stay in Yangzhou in the end depends on His Highness's wishes." Master Jin. Hearing this, he kowtowed towards Zhu Biao again.

If he had the opportunity to make a stain-free glassware in front of him in this life, he would be willing to die.

Zhu Biao smiled and said: "Yang Qing, I brought him here just to see if there is anything I can do to help you. Now that you can use it, it's great."

"But of course, this service is not in vain. There must be some reward. Yang Qing, why don't you give me the stain-free glass bead in your hand that you got from overseas."

"Then thank you, Your Highness." Yang Xian picked up the glass marbles and threw them in the direction of Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously stretched out his hands to take it. The warm jade-like touch came from his hands, which was so unreal.

In fact, what he just said was just a joke. He didn't really want this stain-free glass bead.

Zhu Biao didn't expect that Yang Xian didn't even hesitate and directly gave him this priceless, priceless treasure.

"Yang Qing."

Zhu Biao looked at Yang Xian and wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

Zhu Biao believes that the current relationship between him and Yang Xian is actually estranged.

Zhu Biao solemnly put away the glass marbles and kept them close to his body. Then he looked at Yang Xian and said, "If you still need help with this aspect of burning glass, just tell me. I will do my best to help you." Help you do it.”

"Then I won't be polite to His Highness. The glass factory is newly built and I need manpower here. People with experience in firing colored glaze will learn much faster. If I only rely on Lao Jin, I'm afraid it won't be enough." Yang Xian smiled.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the only craftsmen who made colored glaze were in the imperial palace.

It's almost impossible to find it outside.

Even in the palace, this kind of talent is extremely scarce, but now that Yang Xian has asked for it.

No matter how difficult it is, Zhu Biao will do it.

The same reason was behind the stain-free glass bead, and Zhu Biao felt that he deserved it.

With the help of Prince Zhu Biao, several craftsmen who made colored glaze were abducted from the Imperial Palace Glazed Bureau to Yangzhou.

Here in Yangzhou, a kiln was finally built and attempts were made to burn transparent glass.

The main raw materials for making glass include quartz sand, which is our common sand, as well as soda, Glauber's salt, calcite and quicklime.

Soda can be refined from the water of saline lakes. Glauber's salt, calcite and quicklime also had this name in ancient times and can be found directly.

The production steps are also very simple, which is to burn the raw materials into a liquid state at a high temperature of [-] degrees Celsius.

Some people may ask, was there such a high temperature in ancient times?

Of course you can. First of all, you must choose high-quality coal, add appropriate blasting devices and coal kiln structures, and you can raise the temperature very high.The liquid glass is then wrapped around the metal tube and blown to achieve the desired shape.

This is the simplest method of making glass. It is naturally different from the modern glass making process, but it is completely sufficient.
