I ran to the Ministry of Works. The director of the Ministry of Works was an old acquaintance, and I was very happy to see Zheng Xiong. He was a big customer, and he gave me money every time, unlike those allocated national projects where the money was deducted every time. No matter what, I'll give you every penny.

Having made a lot of money from Zheng Xiong, the people in the Ministry of Industry could live a stable life for a year. They were also very enthusiastic when they saw Zheng Xiong. They took Zheng Xiong to his office. The clerk on the side walked out with a look. Prepare to make tea.

"Wait a minute, Zheng Tiling is an honored guest. Make a cup of the Huangshan Maofeng I brought from my hometown and let Zheng Tiling taste it."

People will always change their attitudes towards some people unconsciously. After having a relationship of interest, it is time to talk about feelings. When friendship comes, many things will fall into place.

Now that Zheng Xiong is the God of Wealth of the Ministry of Industry, he naturally has to provide services, not to mention that the pharmacy is also a place to save lives. Whoever does not go to the hospital in his life will not be served by a small official hospital like himself.

Huimin Pharmacy has also become famous in recent days. Not only is the alcohol disinfection effect very good, but the condition of the pregnant woman who had a caesarean section in recent days has also been noticed.

The Tai Hospital has become a sensation, and it is ready to invite people to exchange and learn, just waiting for the moment when the pregnant woman recovers and is discharged. The legend of Huimin Pharmacy is also circulated in the small circle. It can be said that the status of Huimin Pharmacy is second only to Tai Hospital. , even those private drug stores can’t keep up.

This kind of relationship must be maintained well no matter what. You may ask for someone else one day. It's just tea leaves, and face is given to each other.

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. I will not go to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason. I deserve it."

"You know, our Ministry of Industry and Engineering kills a lot of people every year due to trauma and infection. Zheng Tiling's alcohol disinfection method has saved many people in the past two months. In the past, if we didn't have this condition, we would just endure the pain and escape from death. Now, we have a narrow escape. Well, after nine lives and one death, Zheng Tiling’s merits are immeasurable.”

When he heard this, Zheng Xiong also felt a chill in his heart. After all this time, if he hadn't been slightly touched today and still had the mentality of trying to catch a fish, he would have really let down his chance to live a new life. It's true that Lao Zhu kills people without blinking an eye. Those who were killed were all those who had great achievements and formed cliques for personal gain.

Although the treatment of officials is very harsh, you will not be short of food in one bite, and the scholars are also treated very favorably. The tax-free fields are definitely enough. But most people are greedy, always want more, and they deserve to be caught if they stretch their hands. .

You should fish and fish, guard your own one-third of an acre of land and don't mess around, and nothing will happen. If you can help these ordinary people with the knowledge of future generations to the best of your ability, then you will have no regrets and your life will not be in vain.

There is no need to keep alcohol in one's own hands. If it is used well, tens of millions of people will benefit. If it is really used for food and drink to affect people's livelihood, that is Lao Zhu's concern. No matter how powerful a person is, he can't beat the power of everyone. .

However, this matter has to be made of glass. Even if there is other income, it cannot be handed over for nothing. No matter what, you have to earn another sum.

Although he was thinking a little too far, Zheng Xiong was also quite polite.

"My lord, I'm so complimentary. It's purely a coincidence. I'm lucky enough to have read a few medical books. It's not worth mentioning that I'm just learning to walk in Handan."

"Zheng Tiling, there is no need to be modest. There are many people who have read medical books, but who can apply what they have learned like you?"

After hearing this, Zheng Xiong didn't say much, just be humble. Excessive modesty is just pretending, and he doesn't need to be overly cautious. A little praise is well deserved.

The clerk also served tea and organized the conversation about this matter. Zheng Xiong also got straight to the point.

"Huimin Pharmacy is planning to open in the other three city gates recently, and we have to ask the Ministry of Works to help. But there is no rush, the money is not enough right now. There is another activity that is starting now, and I don't know if the Ministry of Works may be able to spare the manpower.

"

The manager is also in a dilemma. The Ministry of Industry has very few manpower and they are scattered across the country. Spring plowing is about to start, and the river dredging project is also in a hurry, not to mention other major projects. Last year, the Chinese New Year was also approaching, and the hands were

If you have no money, make a quick buck to celebrate the New Year.

However, this year's Zheng Xiong cannot be viewed from the same perspective as last year. Lack of manpower is a trivial matter. If you can recruit another person, who will have trouble with money?

"No problem. If Zheng Tiling opens his mouth, there will be no problem. It's just that we need to recruit new people, so the project may be a little slow."

"That's okay, just build it for me. Once the construction here is completed, the other three pharmacies can also start construction. By then, there should be money to start construction."

"Okay, let me see what the consequences are this time. I'll give you an estimate of how much it will cost, so there's no need to run away again."

After the principal finished speaking, Zheng Xiong took out a hastily drawn sketch, and with a few randomly drawn lines, the general outline could be seen.

The chief's head hurt after looking at it. He couldn't tell anything about it, so he could only ask.

"Do you have any requirements?"

Zheng Xiong's eyes were also a little embarrassed. He came out in a hurry, and he didn't prepare for it as soon as it came out. He could only think and talk at the same time. But he already had colored glaze, so he could ask about the requirements for making colored glaze first.

"I wonder if you, sir, know how to make colored glaze."

"It's not clear how the glass was made, but there is a glass square in the palace that we built. Why, Zheng Tiling wanted to build the glass square. I have to say, that thing is actually made of sand, and there is nothing in it.

Value. Even though it looks like jade, it’s not as good as ceramics. It’s also expensive, ordinary people can’t afford it, and rich people don’t bother to use it.”

After hearing this, Zheng Xiong couldn't help but be overjoyed. What Zheng Xiong didn't know was that glass had a long history of being fired.

Glass appeared in China at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. The earliest glass objects in China are the Fuchai sword of King Wu, the glass decoration inlaid on the sword of King Goujian of Yue, and the glass beads inlaid in tombs. Strictly speaking, the glass on these swords are still weapons rather than weapons.

Decoration, in ancient times, swords were used to attack visible enemies. The jade and glass ornaments on the swords have sacred power and can attack invisible enemies such as ghosts and spirits. Compare this to the walls of Shimao Ancient City.

Inlaid with a large amount of jade to resist spiritual enemies, we can know that this was a common practice in ancient times. Therefore, at this time, the Chinese people used glassware mainly for its religious function.

By the Warring States Period, China had the ability to make glass. During the Warring States Period, the glass industry in Chu, especially today's Hunan and Hubei, developed. Not only did they continue to manufacture the "dragonfly eye" type vessels imported from Iran, they also began to manufacture glass biscuits.

Seals and other unique glassware in China, and with the increase in glass production, people other than nobles can also be buried with glass.

Glass had already entered the well-off families in the Tang Dynasty, but was disliked in the Song Dynasty. It had too many impurities and did not look like jade. There was some demand, but there was not enough motivation to continue development.

Therefore, glass is also called colored glaze, but it has too many impurities and is very different from later generations, so it is usually not classified into the same category.

Zheng Xiong didn't care. He didn't have to think about what to do now. The methods were all ready, and he just needed to improve it. It would be like turning it into colorless transparent glass.

The main use of glass in later generations was to make mirrors and test tubes. Glass can well observe the reactions of various substances.

Mirrors can only be tested slowly. The conditions for vacuum aluminum plating are insufficient. Silver plating can only be tested slowly. Mercury is poisonous and is not considered.

The mirror is just an auxiliary, and the best way to make money is to build a microscope to build the foundation of modern medicine in this land.

"Let's build it according to the pattern of Liulicang. What I want to build is similar to this, but there are some differences. The process is the same."

"Okay, Chenghui 5,000 Guan"

Seeing the boss who instantly transformed into a profiteer, Zheng Xiong was speechless.

"Send it to me tomorrow. The person in charge can draw up the contract documents first."

After chatting for a while, Zheng Xiong left. As an otaku in his previous life, he felt uncomfortable with this kind of in vain, so he ran away quickly.
