"His Majesty……"

"You're here just in time, third brother. Come and take a look. How do you like these pieces of glass?"

Wang Bing was inspired by a cup of tea. As soon as he entered the palace the next day, before he could express his thoughts, he was pulled by an excited little fat man and quickly came to the room.

In front of the huge dragon case.

"Hey, these pieces of glass are well made, crystal clear and smooth as a mirror, not bad!"

Wang Bing couldn't help but admire the piece of plate glass he picked up as carefully as a little fat man presenting a treasure. Unexpectedly, after only one night, these royal craftsmen who had been 'trained' by him had already put this thing into use.

It's done.

"That means this glass can be used to make the things you mentioned that are cheaper than gold?"

After seeing these pieces of glass approved by Wang Bing, the little fat man's eyes suddenly shone with a dazzling 'golden light', the light of money!

"Haha, it's okay, but it would be more valuable if it were bigger! By the way, how did they make it?"

Looking at these pieces of flat glass, which were less than two feet long and about a foot wide, Wang Bing couldn't help but become curious.

…

"I asked why these glass plates are not big. That's how they were made!"

Looking at the not-so-large royal workshop in front of him, Wang Bing finally figured out how these small pieces of flat glass were made.

It turns out that these royal craftsmen first blew the molten glass into cylinders as thick as an arm, then cut off the heads and tails, then split them in half, and pressed them while they were still cool, and they became a flat piece.

of glass.

The glass plate made in this way, thanks to the exquisite blowing skills of these craftsmen, is not only smooth, but also avoids uneven thickness to the greatest extent.

There is no way, for these royal craftsmen who are good at making all kinds of glassware, blowing is the method they are most familiar with.

However, the shortcomings of this blowing method to make flat glass are also very obvious. Not to mention the low efficiency, the most important thing is that it is difficult to make the glass plate larger. Therefore, Wang Bing is somewhat disdainful of this method.

Eye.

"Why, maybe you, Third Brother, have a better idea?"

Seeing Wang Bing's dissatisfied expression, the little fat man couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty knows me well, haha!"

Afterwards, Wang Bing did not hide his teasing, and immediately said the method he came up with inspired by the poured tea.

Actually speaking, this method is quite simple. It is to make a large iron box with a shallow opening, fill it with molten glass by casting, and then squeeze it in and compact it with an iron plate on the other side that can just fit in.

!

In this way, the thickness of the glass plate can be ensured to be consistent and its surface smooth.

Of course, the iron box and iron plate must also be very smooth and smooth, preferably as smooth as a bronze mirror.

"Someone is coming..."

Obviously, after thinking about Wang Bing's idea for a while, the little fat man was also quite moved!

…

"Lao San, this glass has been made. Now can you tell me what you want to do?"

A few days later, when a batch of flat glass plates were successfully made using the method Wang Bing said, the little fat man could no longer resist his strong curiosity and once again asked Wang Bing about something that was more valuable than gold.

.

"Brother Zhu, I haven't actually done that before, so I don't know if it can be done yet. So, let's wait until I make it first, hehehehehe!"

Amid the anticipation on the little fat man's face, Wang Bing pretended to be secretive again.

"What? Third brother, I spent so much time to get these glass plates, and now you actually tell me that I'm not sure?"

The little fat man who seemed to have seen Jin Yuanbao flying towards him suddenly turned his back when he heard Wang Bing actually said that he was not sure.

"Brother Zhu, don't be impatient. I didn't say I'm not sure at all, I'm just not sure! Don't worry, even if you can't completely succeed, you're at least 40 to 50 percent sure!"

Wang Bing, who originally just wanted to maintain a sense of mystery, was immediately speechless after seeing the little fat man's dog-like appearance.

"I don't care what you want to do with this glass plate, I will only give you ten days. If you can't do it by then, you can buy these glass plates back at the price of gold, hahahaha!"

Ignoring Wang Bing's explanation, the little fat man, who was crazy about gold, immediately began to think of ways to stop his losses.

"Ten days? Brother Zhu, are you crazy about gold? No, it will take at least about a month and a half!"

After carefully recalling the time required for that method, Wang Bingdang began to bargain.

"In addition, Brother Zhu, you have to give me some of the best gilding craftsmen, as well as enough mercury and tinfoil, otherwise I won't be able to do it!"

Not only did Wang Bing refuse the little fat man's request to hand over the 'treasure' within ten days, Wang Bing immediately started asking for people and things from the little fat man.

"Third brother, you are cruel!"

Finally, in order not to waste all his previous efforts, and to turn the glass into 'gold', the little fat man also risked his life. As long as Wang Bing asked for it, whether it was people or things, he generously gave it to Wang Bing.

"Brother Zhu, you will get something if you put in the effort! When the things are made, you won't look like this now, hahahaha!"

Seeing the pained expression on the little fat man's face, Wang Bing couldn't help laughing.

"Third brother, let me tell you, if you can't get the treasure you mentioned, just wait until the Marquis's Mansion becomes the Prince Consort's Mansion! By then..."

"Brother Imperial, you are bullying Third Brother again!"

Just when the little fat man was threatening Wang Bing in order to make Wang Bing 'do his best' in making treasures, he didn't notice that at some point, the little girl Yong Ning came to the Qianqing Palace.

"Haha, Yongning, why are you here?"

Seeing that the little girl caught him threatening Wang Bing, the little fat man couldn't help but laugh in embarrassment.

"Haha, sister Ying, you came just in time. Your imperial brother has threatened me with this matter more than once! Tell me, do you want third brother to be your consort or your husband?"

In front of the little fat man, Wang Bing shamelessly took the little girl's delicate, boneless hand and blatantly gave the little fat man some 'eye drops'.

"Brother Imperial, you are not allowed to bully Third Brother with this anymore! Imperial sister only wants to be Third Brother's wife, and does not want Third Brother to be a consort!"
