Chapter 209 Princess apprentice

Good things are approaching, and Chen Wanrong is also happy. He finds an excuse to leave the house and get close to Zheng Qing. Today's Zheng Qing is very different from the past. He doubles his character and is gentler, allowing Chen Wanrong to make fun of him, making Chen Wanrong so happy that he can enjoy the world of two people.

The next day, Chen Wanrong came to the military weapon prison as usual. As soon as he entered the door, he saw two beautiful carriages parked inside, which looked very familiar. After a moment of thought, he remembered it and couldn't help but brow and muttered, "Can they really come?"

The idea was quickly confirmed. Before I could take a few steps, I saw two beauties coming towards me. They were the two princesses, Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen. Princess Jinxian smiled and said blessed when she saw Chen Wanrong Yingying, "I have met Master Chen."

Princess Yuzhen looked serious today, and she didn't look for Chen Wanrong. She saluted like Princess Jinxian and said in a sweet voice: "Have you seen Master Chen!"

Although the two sisters are precious golden branches and jade leaves, they can talk and talk to Chen Wanrong very much. When they meet, they are not so polite to Chen Wanrong. Especially Princess Yuzhen, she is even more happy with Chen Wanrong. It is the first time she meets her as respectful as she is today. Chen Wanrong feels uncomfortable and said in surprise: "When did I become Master Chen?"

Princess Jinxian smiled and said, "We will come to the military weapon supervisor to learn how to make firecrackers from you. What else can you be if you are not a master?"

Princess Yuzhen pouted and was quite displeased: "Didn't you say you want me to be an apprentice with you? Am I here now? You are not allowed to bully people!"

This is the true nature. Chen Wanrong was a little relieved and shook his head and said, "I want to teach you, but I can't accept you as my apprentice. I don't have the courage."

It’s not that he doesn’t have that courage, but Princess Yuzhen is a headache, or it’s better not to take it.

"What? We are here, do you want to drive us away? No!" Princess Yuzhen pouted, and the boss was unhappy.

"Haha! My friend, have you gotten into trouble with the little lady?" Ye Tianheng walked over quickly with a cane. Before the person arrived, laughter arrived first.

Calling the princess the little lady is so courageous!

Chen Wanrong introduced him: "Master Ye, this is Princess Jinxian, this is Princess Yuzhen..."

"Princess?" Ye Tianheng's eyes suddenly widened, and he slapped his face, and began to complain: "I'm so confused! Ye Tianheng has seen two princesses, so please forgive me!"

Princess Jinxian said generously: "Master Ye, please give up the gift. My sister and I come to the military weapon supervision to learn how to make firecrackers from Master Chen. Master Ye is a master of his generation, so I would like to give you more advice."

Although Princess Yuzhen was a little naughty, she still respected Ye Tianheng very much and hurriedly greeted her.

Ye Tianheng didn't believe that the two princesses who didn't care about the world were so easy to talk to. Chen Wanrong was stunned when he heard this. "Princess, it's very dangerous to make firecrackers. If one is not good, something will happen. Please ask the two princesses to come back. When we're done, we'll send it to you."

"Dangerous? Why didn't you say it when you asked me to come?" Princess Yuzhen's boss was unhappy: "You said it when the person comes."

Princess Jinxian said resolutely: "Master Chen, you are not afraid, can we still be afraid? Please accept us. I know that Master Chen is worried that we are disobedient. Master Chen can rest assured and treat us as ordinary people."

Who has the courage to call the princess? Ye Tianheng shook his mouth so hard. However, Chen Wanrong thought for a while and said, "Since you want to stay, it's not impossible, but we have to make it clear first. You can stay and follow the arrangements."

"Master Chen, please rest assured, we will definitely listen to you." Princess Jinxian said without thinking.

"Then you are not allowed to bully people!" Princess Yuzhen reminded him, and he agreed.

Chen Wanrong continued: "The firecrackers have not been done yet, and they are still making equipment. Master Ye is responsible for this matter. You will definitely gain a lot of money when you follow Master Ye! Master Ye, you will leave the two princesses to you."

Without waiting for Ye Tianheng to speak, he left quickly. It was a headache to bring two princesses. Ye Tianheng was unwilling to do so, but what could he do if he was in such a relationship? The crutch was lit on the ground, and Chen Wanrong had already gone far away and said hatefully: "My friend, you..."

Princess Jinxian pursed her lips and held back her smile. Princess Yuzhen couldn't do it anymore, pointed at Chen Wanrong's back and shouted: "Chen Wanrong, who do you think of others?"

Ye Tianheng had no choice but to say, "Princess, please!"

"Master Ye, please!" the two sisters said together and followed Ye Tianheng.

Chen Wanrong saw this scene from afar and thought to himself: "Princess Jinxian is better, Princess Yuzhen is a little rude. Master Ye, you have suffered any offense."

According to Chen Wanrong's idea, Princess Yuzhen was unruly and Ye Tianheng would definitely be troubled. What Chen Wanrong could not have imagined was that this was far from the case.

When it was Wu, Ye Tianheng came over with a smile, his thumb was raised to the sky, and Chen Wanrong couldn't see it clearly. Ye Tianheng smiled so hard that he had only a small gap left in his eyes: "My friend, thank you, I have arranged two good disciples for me."

"Disciple?" Chen Wanrong was stunned.

Ye Tianheng said proudly: "My friend, the two princesses are this. Bingxue is smart and can be easily understood at all. They have never worked in a job, but the question is really good. I have not seen a few people who can ask such a right question in so many years. It's amazing!"

Chen Wanrong was just throwing his burden at that time, and Ye Tianheng didn't want it at that time. He was so happy after a while. The change was too fast.

Seeing Chen Wanrong's blank look in his eyes, Ye Tianheng said even more proudly: "The two princesses are not only studious, but also respect Ye very much. They serve tea and water, which is more comfortable than my granddaughter."

Ye Tianheng finally said: "My friend, can you tell the two princesses that they should return to secular life and learn workmanship with me. I promise to train them into peerless craftsmen."

Chen Wanrong looked around and saw that there was no one, and reminded him: "Master Ye, you can't say this!"

Although the two princesses became monks and wanted to escape from the world, they thought that Dou Defei prayed for blessings as an excuse to return to secular life, which was a big thing that was a taboo. Ye Tianheng woke up and shook his mouth: "My friend, I have lost my words, I have lost my words!"

Looking nervously, I saw Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen coming. The two sisters came close to each other. Princess Jinxian smiled at Chen Wanrong, but Princess Yuzhen had a pretty face, snorted from Yao's nose, raised her head, as if she didn't see Chen Wanrong.

"Master Ye, your meal is ready, please go and use it." Princess Jinxian stood to Ye Tianheng's left, Princess Yuzhen stood to his right, and the two sisters helped Ye Tianheng to have a meal, one on the left and one on the right.

Ye Tianheng smiled at Chen Wanrong and helped the two sisters leave in a comfortable mood. When he arrived at the restaurant, he saw that the food was served well, and even the chopsticks, spoons, and the wipes were ready, and they were arranged neatly.

Ye Tianheng was old, and the chef in the military equipment supervisor took care of him. He would put his food on it. Of course, he had to prepare chopsticks and spoons. It was not as neat as today, and it looked so comfortable. Ye Tianheng had a big fun. He sat down with a smile, his appetite was wide open, and he ate a lot of rice, which made him very delicious.

Looking at Ye Tianheng's satisfied expression, Kou Yibing and the others were very jealous and wished that the two princesses would come to take care of him.

Chen Wanrong was out of sight this time, shook his head and went to have a meal.

The news that Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen came to the military weapon supervision to work spread wildly, and everyone was greatly encouraged, especially the newly joined students, who were even more fortunate to have the vision and came to the military weapon supervision.

Even the princess came to work, which shows that the court attached great importance to military weapons supervision. Here, it is definitely much better than the Imperial College where the future is bright and there are actually few opportunities. How can you not be happy?

The two princesses have no airs, are easy-going, have no delicate spirit of gold and jade leaves, are modest and studious, and are meticulous in asking questions. They not only ask Ye Tianheng for advice, but also ask good craftsmen such as Kou Yibing.

It was a great honor to get the princess to ask questions. Kou Yibing and others naturally knew everything and said everything. In less than a day, the good reputation of the two princesses spread in the military weapon surveillance, and everyone said they were good.

Princess Jinxian is good, but Princess Yuzhen always makes things difficult for Chen Wanrong, but it is not like that in front of others. Her little mouth is as sweet as if she has smeared honey. Chen Wanrong really doesn't understand, "Where did I offend you?"

Ye Tianheng took his sisters to make firecracker equipment, and two days passed in a blink of an eye. On the third day, today was the time to try the production of glass. Ye Tianheng and his friends arrived at the workshop early, and Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen were no exception and followed.

Sima Chengzhen’s master and apprentice, Ye Tianheng, Kou Yibing, Liu Huaide, Cao Zhixiong, Zhang Deming, Princess Jinxian, Princess Yuzhen, as well as important craftsmen in the military weapon supervision, as well as the newly-joined military weapon supervision, a total of hundreds of people came to watch the trial production.

It is naturally understandable that Ye Tianheng and the others come to watch. The reason why they called the students also was to use novel things to boost their interest and make them work harder.

Hundreds of people stood quietly, looking at the melting kiln in front of them, one crucible after another, no one spoke, only breathing sounds.

Among so many people, only Chen Wanrong knew about the glass. When they were tested in Ning County last time, none of them were on the scene. In addition, there were students present, so I had to explain. Chen Wanrong stood in front of the crowd, glanced at him, and asked, "We are going to make glass today. Do you know what glass is?"

They can't answer this question. Even Ye Tianheng and other good craftsmen have only heard Chen Wanrong talk about it, but they have never seen it.

"I know, it's transparent!" It was Princess Yuzhen's sweet and charming answer.

Last time, Li Longji asked Chen Wanrong for a glass of glass in Ning County, and asked for eight of them in total, one pair of Ruizong, one pair of Li Longji, and one pair of Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen. Although she had never seen giving birth, she also knew what glass was. Maybe she had drunk wine with a glass.

However, in Ye Tianheng and others' minds, Princess Yuzhen is just a newcomer. After a few days, she didn't believe she had seen it. Everyone's smile was just not clear.

To their surprise, Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "Yes, the glass is transparent! This is glass!" Chen Wanrong took out a glass cup from a box beside him and held it high in his hand.

At first glance, it was crystal clear and transparent, with light on the opposite side in the sunlight. In everyone's eyes, it was shocked in their hearts, and a surprising sound sounded like a piece of "Is this glass?"

"Why is it like a wine glass?"

What Chen Wanrong brought out was the glass wine glass made in Ning County last time. How could it not be like a wine glass?

The glass is beautiful, beautiful and transparent. Let’s look at the raw materials, quartz sand, feldspar, and limestone. None of them can be transparent. In the minds of the Tang people, this is something that cannot be defeated.

"General Chen, is the glass really made of stone?" Gao Jian was the most anxious and asked first.

This was exactly what everyone was thinking, and the sound of echoed. Even Ye Tianheng and others who repeatedly confirmed that Chen Wanrong had glass was made of stone were unbelievable. They kept nodding and secretly praised the question and asked the idea.

"It's true!" Chen Wanrong nodded to confirm.

"General Chen, what should I do?" the students asked anxiously.

"We'll do it now! You'll understand when you look." Chen Wanrong put the glass back into the box, the demonstration was completed, and their interest was raised. It's time to try production.

"Come on hot water!" Chen Wanrong gave the order, and a team of strong men came up with steaming buckets.

"Glauber's salt and charcoal powder, add it!" Chen Wanrong's voice fell, and the strong men rushed to add Glauber's salt and charcoal powder to the hot water and stir evenly with a stick.

"Pack to quartz sand!" Chen Wanrong ordered again. The strong men put quartz sand, feldspar and limestone into the crucible.

"Pour water!" Under Chen Wanrong's command, the strong men poured the hot water into the crucible.

Then hang the crucible onto the melting kiln and put it in place. The current melting kiln has long been rising, and as soon as the crucible is put on, white mist will soon emerge.

One crucible after another was hung up, and in just a short while, there was smoke on the melting kiln. Everyone saw it and was shocked in their hearts.

With so many crucibles, this situation is really not small, far from the small-scale fight that day, Chen Wanrong was a little shocked to see it.

After a while, Chen Wanrong climbed up to the height of the other side along the stairs. Standing here, he could take a good look at the changes in the crucible. Although it was produced using the gap method, he still had to observe it. This was specially repaired and could stand dozens of people.

Ye Tianheng and the others were naturally unwilling to fall behind, so they followed up. Everyone rushed up to watch the fun, but it was just such a big place that they could not stay in more people. There were only waiting anxiously below, all of whom stretched their necks, like giraffes, looking up at them.

In order to increase the temperature, Chen Wanrong sent someone to collect anthracite. He originally wanted to go to the Xishan Mountain in Ning County to collect it, but Ye Tianheng told him that there are many such things in the north, and the people used them to raise fires and cook, which was called "carbonite".

Coal was used very early, but it was mainly used in the north. The Guanzhong area did not use much coal, and the people in the West Mountain did not know that the northern people called coal "carbide". Chen Wanrong thought that the Tang Dynasty did not use coal, and if Ye Tianheng had not told him, he would have been kept in the dark.

The use of coal was very common in Youzhou. Chen Wanrong was overjoyed and wrote a letter to Chen Que. Not long after, Chen Que sent someone to deliver the carbon. Chen Que was indeed very helpful, and he gave tens of thousands of kilograms of coal, which was enough for Chen Wanrong to use it for a while.

Chen Que completely followed Chen Wanrong's request and sent anthracite with high calorie value. The combustion was very high. The distance between Chen Wanrong and the others was not close to the crucible, and it was still a heat wave. Fortunately, the weather was relatively cold today, and if it was on a hot day, it would definitely not be able to stand it.

"This seat is too close, you have to be farther away. It's okay in winter, but who can stand it in summer?" Chen Wanrong thought in his mind: "You have to get this seat farther away. How can you see it clearly? Oh, I'm so stupid. With glass, I'm afraid I can't see it clearly? I can make a telescope!"

"Typescope?" Chen Wanrong almost fell to the ground when he thought of these three words.

Chen Wanrong went to the battlefield and knew that the Tang army was not easy to command on the battlefield, so he could only convey information by relying on flag language. Before the decisive battle of Tubo, in order to obtain accurate information, he sent many people to look up at the high places, and then passed the situation back through flag language for Guo Qianguan to make decisions.

If there is a telescope, Guo Qianguan only needs to stand at a high place to see the battlefield, making decisions more accurate and faster.

Will listening to other people’s reports be the same as seeing with your own eyes?

If we go further and make those generals use a telescope, the Tang army's command will be more flexible and timely, and the combat power will be more powerful. This prospect will make people dizzy.

Chen Wanrong slapped his forehead heavily and screamed: "I really didn't even expect this. Quickly, stop below and stop pretending. Just do this."
