Xishan, as long as you are willing to work hard, men can work in the mine and earn wages. Women can reclaim land, and the land that is reclaimed belongs to their own. This invisibly instantly aroused the enthusiasm of refugees.

When reclaiming the land, the court will pay the money to give the refugees grain and seeds. After the autumn harvest is achieved, it will be returned to the court several times. In this way, it is because some people will eat the seeds directly.

But if there are natural disasters, such as locust plagues or droughts and floods, the crops are lost and the rent is not paid, social conflicts will arise.

If the grain seeds distributed by the government cannot be collected, the yamen will have no money to operate. If the people cannot pay back the rent, they will have to become refugees or rebel.

The western mountain is different. Zhu Cilang clearly stipulates that if there are natural disasters and man-made crops, the seeds of spring plowing can be rented without rent.

But the refugees were too poor, and they could be said to be penniless and had no family property. Only Zhu Cilang could find a way to find a way to lend hoes, shovels, and some farm tools to the refugees.

The prerequisite is to pay the salary of your men.

This is easy to understand. Men work in mines, and women go to open up land and farm. Reclamation requires farm tools. The glass factory owes you farm tools with credit, and the money on farm tools is deducted from the work of men in your family. In this way, the glass factory can save some expenses every month and provide some farm tools for the people.

In fact, no matter what you do, as long as you mobilize the enthusiasm of the people, it will be miracles one by one.

Zhu Cilang created his Western Mountain miracle in the Western Mountains.

Three months, only three months later, the kilns in Xishan's glass factory were built one after another, and the coal from Muchengjian was transported by trucks.

With coal, kilns, quartz ore, soda ash and lime, everything is ready, but the east wind is not available. Next, it is to enter the kiln and smel.

Large-scale production is no longer hammering and hammering in small workshops. This requires assembly line operation, although it is all purely handmade. Zhu Cixuan still led the craftsmen to build small miracles of glass factories.

Not to mention, the simplest glass is the original hand-made method such as blow molding and blow drum, which is made by hand. Although the glass produced has flaws, it is completely enough for this era.

However, Zhu Cixuan still chose the casting method: that is, the method of injecting the melted glass liquid into the mold, annealing and cooling, and processing the products. This process characteristics are low in equipment requirements, small product limitations, and is suitable for making large products, but the accuracy of the products is poor.

It doesn’t matter if the accuracy is almost the case. The glass used for doors and windows is not as exquisite as optical glass. As long as the glass is transparent, it doesn’t matter if there are some flaws.

Zhu Cixuan ordered the craftsmen to break the silica powder, lime, alkali powder, borax, boric acid and other impurities into the kiln and fire it!

Most glass is soda lime glass, and the production method is relatively simple. Its melting point is only 1,400 to 500 degrees, which is about the same temperature as the iron smelting. Zhu Cixuan hired some technical talents from the capital to make glass and porcelain.

Meng Fanping and Meng's shopkeeper became the technical guide of the glass factory. The success of the first batch of glass is related to the future development direction of the glass factory. If it fails, it will really be a blow to Zhu Cixuan.

Today is the day to turn on the furnace. Zhou Kui got up early and came to the West Mountain early, wanting to see the miracle of the glass being released today.

What was unexpected was that Emperor Chongzhen actually came too.

However, Chongzhen visited privately on a private occasion. It was not a trivial matter for the emperor to leave Beijing. He could only disguise himself and hide it from everyone. Chongzhen came with Zhou Kui in casual clothes.

The people of the West Mountain and even the Eastern Palace Guards around Zhu Cixuan did not know the origin of Chongzhen. They just saw Zhou Kui, the father-in-law, surrounded by Chongzhen like a pug, and shouted Zhu Wuye, and Zhu Wuye.

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian, his mother, Empress Dowager Xiaochun, Liu, was the fifth son of Emperor Guangzong of Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he went to private visits as Master Zhu Wu.

Zhu Cilang was embarrassed, so he couldn't call him father or father in front of everyone. He simply shouted: "Master Zhu Wu, my first batch of kiln glasses will be released today. I will definitely show you a good show later."

Although others don’t know the origin of this Wu Ye Zhu, they must be a royal relative. Otherwise, the prince and the father-in-law would not be so polite to him. Chongzhen was surrounded by a handsome boy.

This young man is slightly one or two years younger than the prince. He is extremely handsome.

Zhu Cilang is handsome enough, after all, he inherited the genes of his parents. Chongzhen was not ugly, and Empress Zhou was even more beautiful. According to historical records, Zhu Cilang - the prince was fair and beautiful, good at dealing with him. He was both good at both feet and bones, and he loved him very much.

The young man in front of him was actually more handsome than Zhu Cilang. He saw that his skin was extremely fair, smooth and tender, his flowing eyes were as bright as a meteor, and his every frown and smile was breathtaking. A man was so beautiful that he could be even more amazing if he was a woman.

Even Yan Yuan Xiaoxiao in front of the hall not far away couldn't help but exclaim: "What a handsome young man. If this person was born as a woman, would he still have a way out for women in the world?"

The pretty starling Yan Yishuang next to him was quite strange: "Sister Yuan, have you noticed that this young boy seems to be somewhat similar to the prince."

That's right, the young man around Chongzhen did look a bit like Zhu Cilang, but was whiter and more handsome. He was not as beautiful as a human being, and the little girls among the people of the West Mountain dared not look up at him.

Yuan Xiaoxiao said "Yes": "This person must be a royal relative. I don't know which prince's son is, so it's not surprising that he is similar to His Highness."

As expected, it is not surprising that his royal relative of the Zhu family looks like Zhu Cilang. However, this young man is so handsome that people can't help but take a look at him a few more times.

This is not a young man. She is the daughter of Emperor Chongzhen and Zhu Cilang's own sister, Princess Kunxing, Zhu Mai. Later generations were enthroned as Princess Changping by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Princess Kunxing Zhu Mai, who seems to be well-behaved and sensible, actually has a playful side. When she heard that Chongzhen was going to visit her brother's glass factory in Xishan, Zhu Mai, who grabbed Chongzhen's sleeve and begged to go together.

She is a princess, how could an unmarried princess easily show up? But Chongzhen loved this daughter very much, so he had no choice but to let her disguise herself as a man and follow her.

But this Princess Kunxing Zhu Mai was too handsome. Even if she dressed up as a boy, she still amazed everyone. As soon as she arrived at the West Mountain, she became the focus of everyone's attention.

Chongzhen glanced at Zhu Cixuan and asked, "When will the furnace be turned on? I can't wait."
