Chapter 554: Glazed Glass Mirror

(Thank you Kuaizai and Wen Ang for your monthly ticket support, thank you very much!)

"How much did you pay for this broken thing?" Li Jing pointed at the object in the box and shouted in anger.

Megan smiled like a flower and said proudly: "I bought it for one million yuan. There were many people who competed for it at that time. The one who had the highest price was the best. I used a thousand trump card to defeat everyone before I finally bought it. How about it, it's rare."

Li Jing sighed, "It's just a piece of glass. You actually paid a thousand guan to buy such a broken thing. You are such a prodigal woman."

Meghan heard Li Jing say that the glass mirror was a broken thing, and she said she was a prodigal woman, so she stopped doing it on the spot. When her face turned dark, she reached out and grabbed Li Jing's handle and twisted it. Li Jing was immediately subdued. This woman was too cruel. When others were angry, she glared at most. She would do it directly. It was not counted. The two of them had never had an intimate relationship, but every time she attacked Li Jing, she would go directly to his life, and she would cut her throat with one sword every time. It was too cruel. Fortunately, he had not seen her treat other men like this, otherwise Li Jing would definitely kill people.

"I don't know the goods, but I dare to say that I am a loser?"

Li Jing was made and had to whisper: "What I said is not too much. This glass is not unusual. There are many glass shops opened by Hu Shang in Chang'an, which specialize in making these things. Although your piece is inlaid with gold and jade, it is just a little bigger than the ordinary one. The average glass mirror is only a few thousand yuan per piece, but your piece is at most tens of thousands of yuan, and you actually spent one million yuan. You said you were not cheated by someone."

"You know what's the matter!" Megan's face turned black with anger and directly sweared.

"It's true that I'm a pirate, but do you really think I'm a ignorant countryman? Chang'an has glass mirrors, but the glass mirrors of the Hu people in Chang'an are only small. Have you ever seen such a large piece of glass? If you can get such a large piece of glass, I will buy as much as you have, and buy them all at a price of one million. I can resell them to those caravans and make a quick profit immediately. This time I got this treasure mirror, and I don't know how many people wanted to buy it on the road. The highest one was offered to two million yuan, but I didn't sell it, and I was determined to give it back and forth to you. You have no conscience, but you actually dare to say that I'm making a fortune and angered me." As he said that, Megan directly smashed the glass mirror in his hand to the ground, smashing it into countless pieces. Then he turned around and left angrily.

Looking at the countless broken glasses, Li Jing did not chase Megan immediately, but looked down at the broken mirror. This mirror was indeed very big. Li Jing carefully recalled the history of mirrors. It seemed that the most famous Venetians in history first began to make glassware in the 13th century, and by the end of the 15th century. Venice's glassware production technology had reached the world's leading level and was well-known in Europe.

Now, it is the end of the ninth century, and it is still three or four hundred years before the Venetians made glassware. Although the Romans, Abbeys and even Persians at this time they would make glass, they mostly made some simple glassware. The glass was a little green at this time, and no large glassmaking process was invented. There were indeed many Hu people in Chang'an who made and sold glass, but the quality was not very good. It was even more impossible to make such large glass.

Judging from the size of this piece of glass and it is made into a mirror, such a large glass must have been made by chance.

A glass mirror of the same type can be sold for thousands of guan, which shocked Li Jing. Glass is made of sand and does not cost much. Even if it is made into a mirror, it is just silver plating, which is not a very difficult technology. Li Jing had seen a lot of glass products before, and he had no time, so he forgot about the huge profits of glass.

Glass is a completely luxury item. Since it is a luxury item, it is specially sold to things that are rich. How can such goods be made without money?

Thinking of the fact that he was short of money to buy food, Li Jing couldn't help but beg for it. He was guarding a technology with huge profits and was still begging for food with a golden rice bowl. This is really funny.

It is not difficult to burn glass, but Li Jing has done such an experiment.

"Zhao Jiang, Tiedan." When Li Jing thought of the profits of this glass transaction, he couldn't help but be excited. This thing is like perfume and liquor, and it's completely a business without money. Think about how much money the Venetians made from this glass for hundreds of years.

Now countless caravans are gathering in Dengzhou, which is an excellent opportunity to make a batch of glass mirrors or glassware. Not only can you get the food back, but you can also make another profit. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel excited and called out to the two personal guards.

On that day, Li Jing mysteriously transferred a thousand light riders from the Jinjia Shengjie Army to sea on a boat and boarded the floating island of Ye County, Laizhou, and then moved the entire island away, and then closed the entire island and did not see it for several days.

"Once I arrived, I got up and worked!"

At the mouth of the Ji River, a whaling fleet composed of hundreds of large ships is returning to the port. The four leaders of Zhendonghai, who were traversing the sea, have now completely withdrawn from the town and become the captain of the whaling fleet. From robbing the sea, killing and robbing people to rush to whaling and fishing, I was a little uncomfortable at first, but after this year, several people have become very accustomed to this kind of life. Even their pirate subordinates have become members of the fishing team. There are as many as hundreds of fishing teams under the town and thousands of ships of all sizes.

But only their fishing team is the most powerful, because they are a whaling fleet, and every time they go out to sea, they chase the gifts of the Dragon King of the East China Sea.

The harvest was very rich this time. I caught more than a dozen whales and directly decomposed and processed them in the whale processing workshop on the boat. What I brought back were canned whale meat and whale oil.

Megan and Julie arrived at the dock as soon as possible, "I just arrived at the dock and heard that you were going to marry the handsome guy?" The one-eyed yellow beard said to his daughter with a smile.

The broken armed red beard also laughed: "I also heard that Meghan was promoted to deputy commander of the navy, and Julie became Sima of the navy."

Megan turned his head, "It's better not to mention that guy, but I really think I miss him so much. There are so many men in the world. It's hard to find a three-legged toad, but can't find a two-legged man?"

"What happened again?" Baibei asked with a smile. On the way, he heard that Megan and Julie were going to marry Li Jing, but he agreed. The two women were like his daughters. He also knew that they were from pirates and were Hu, so it was difficult to marry a good family. Although marrying Li Jing could only be a concubine. Li Jing's current identity is there, even if he is a concubine, it is not bad. What's more, Li Jing is also aware of the person. Looking at their current life, you know that it was right to choose to follow Li Jing.

Julie chuckled a little while: "It's not that the hot face is pressed against the cold butt. Meghan spent a thousand guan in Guangzhou to buy a glass mirror and bring it back to Li Jing. As a result, the guy said that Meghan didn't know the goods. A prodigal woman. Meghan threw the mirror in anger, but Li Jing has never come to find Mei Yin yet."

Whitebeard was stunned after hearing this. When did Meghan know about giving gifts, and when did Julie start talking so much. "Where is the Grandmaster now? Let's ask him to make sense."

"On the Floating Island, I brought thousands of personal guards to surround the island, and no one was allowed to approach it, and I don't know what I was going to do."

The few people were stunned when they heard this, and they didn't know what Li Jing was doing.

However, in the afternoon, Li Jing's personal guard came and invited them to Dengzhou City to discuss matters.

"The Grand Marshal went to Dengzhou?"

"Well, the general left Dengzhou on Fuyou Island in the morning. Now he is inviting all the generals and officials, as well as major households in Dengzhou, southern Liaoning, and leaders of the caravans in Dengzhou, saying that there is an important matter to discuss." The guards who were in charge of the news were also familiar with them, so he said a few more words.

"What's the big deal?" The white-bearded man pondered. Li Jing led his troops out of Dengzhou for more than a year. After returning this time, he had been in Qizhou before, and later he was only in Bochang, Qingzhou. Even Dengzhou had not even come back. In the past few days, he suddenly ran to Laizhou Fuyou Island next to Dengzhou for several days. After coming out and finally returning to Dengzhou, he immediately summoned the generals of Lu Army, Dengzhou, and officials from various counties in southern Liaoning. This must have taken a big move.

"Is it going to attack Liaodong?" Huang Huzi thought for a while and felt that Li Jing was not a free person. Since he had completed the army's reorganization, he might have to attack Liaodong.

"Let's take a look first. No matter what the Magistrate decides, we insist on supporting him and follow closely. It's just right to take this opportunity to let Magistrate, Meghan and Julie get things done first. Both girls are in their twenties. Marry early and have children sooner." Whitebeard smiled.

When a group of people from Zhendonghai returned to Dengzhou by boat, there were already all over Dengzhou with generals and officials and wealthy businessmen. They all received invitations from Li Jing. Hundreds of people were led to the Tianlang Hall of Li Jing's Mansion.

The wide Tianlang Hall was almost full at once.

Almost all the magistrates of the 21st Army under Li Jing's command came, and the eight counties in southern Dengzhou and the sixteen counties in Xinde also arrived. In addition, the Cui family, Han family, Liu family, Zhao family, Lanling Xiao family, Qingnicheng Li family, Beishacheng Guo family, Dengzhou Li family, and dozens of families in Duli Town, Dengzhou, Liaonan, Ziqing, and even Youzhou, the leaders of the large caravans who came from the southeast and Lingnan with the fleet this time, and even dozens of caravans were Dashi, Lin Fu and other foreign merchants.

Most people are still a little confused about what they are coming when they receive the invitation. But when they see such a situation, they also know that it must be a big deal.

After all the invited people arrived, Li Jing entered Tianlang Hall from the backyard.

Behind Li Jing, there were four Sheng Jiejuns wearing golden armor. They carefully held something covered by red silk, and looked like a door.

"Everyone, please come today, but there is a treasure to share with you." Li Jing said with a smile.

When it was heard that it was a treasure, everyone couldn't help but start to guess that what could be called a treasure by Marshal Li of the Town ** is definitely not an ordinary thing. Looking at that appearance, could it be a huge piece of precious jade?

Everyone speculated, but they couldn't think of any treasure at the moment, so that Marie Li could gather so many people together.

Li Jing was not in a hurry to lift the red silk, but just smiled and said, "A few days ago, I returned victoriously. The first thing I did was to bring three offerings to worship the Dragon King of the East China Sea with my offerings. Thank him for his protection and let us wait for triumphantly. I also thank him for his protection for our caravans south and let us go this trip safely."

Everyone didn't think anything strange after hearing this. After all, whoever went to the sea worshipped the Dragon King. He worshipped the Dragon King of the East China Sea in Dengzhou, and when he arrived in the South China Sea, he had to worship the Dragon King of the South China Sea. However, this time, the trip to the sea that lasted a year was very smooth. Although he had encountered storms, nothing happened.

"I worshiped the Dragon King. That night, I just fell asleep, but I saw the Dragon King sending an envoy to pick me up, saying that the Dragon King wanted to see me. I followed the envoy to the Dragon King Crystal Palace. It turned out that the Dragon King said that I was the people in Dengzhou, the people in Liaonan, built the Dragon King Temple, and the offerings were very popular. The Dragon King was grateful, so he specially summoned me to a banquet. After the banquet, the Dragon King sent me a gift. Before leaving, I suddenly remembered that General Megan had given me a treasure mirror worth millions, but it was accidentally broken. I asked the Dragon King for a way to repair it, but the Dragon King laughed and said, "It's nothing more than just a glass mirror. So I taught me the method of making the glass mirror."

After saying that, Li Jing deliberately paused.

Sure enough, there was a sound of surprise in the hall. Not many people doubted Li Jing's dream of entering the Dragon Palace. After all, Li Jing had the name of a dragon envoy, and had "meet the Dragon King" many times before. In the past, Li Jing dreamed of the Dragon King, and had received the Dragon King's gift of rain, fish, whales, and the Dragon King's gift of divine fire and heavenly fire. These things are extremely amazing no matter what.

Now I heard that the Dragon King gave Li Jing the method of making the glazed mirror, and I was even more envious, but no one doubted the authenticity.

Megan sat on the side and was also immersed in his ears. They were all people on the sea and believed in the Dragon King. She had never doubted Li Jing's dates with the Dragon King. But when she heard Li Jing talk about the fact that she had broken the mirror and asked the Dragon King for repairs, she couldn't help but feel excited. For this little thing, she actually went to ask the Dragon King for help. Li Jing still valued herself very much. Thinking of this, her heart was beating rapidly.

However, many merchants in the hall had already looked at the thing wrapped in red silk. Could it be that this huge thing like a door would actually be a glass treasure mirror? How is this possible? The glass mirror of the Hu people is just the size of a book, and there are even larger ones, but the larger ones are the more expensive. They have also seen the glass treasure mirror that Meghan bought from Guangzhou for a million yuan, but it is only larger than an ordinary bronze mirror.
