Sima Ji still felt a little regretful when Zhang Zhaocheng did not come. He remembered that more than ten generations of Tianshi masters in the first part of Longhu Mountain, who could be said to have left us too early in his nineties. This is not one or two, but for more than ten generations of people in a row. No one knows whether this is true or false.

No matter whether he is true or false, Sima Ji doesn't believe that more than ten generations of people can live to their nineties. It would be good if they take pills and die early if they are fine. But if they really have it, wouldn't it be profitable? King Yan was very afraid of death and could learn from Master Zhang's lineage.

Then his eyes fell on the jars and jars brought by several Taoist priests. Sima Ji was patient with curiosity in his heart and did not ask, but instead brought up a lot of the relationship between the royal family and Taoism. The Tianshi Taoist Dao itself had an influence in the Jin Dynasty, and metaphysics was prevalent. The children of Tianshi Taoist Dao were naturally distinguished by many gentry clans. The Wang family in Taiyuan always sat with the children of Tianshi Taoist Dao. As for other places, Langya was also a place where the Tianshi Taoist Dao was prosperous, I wonder if it had anything to do with another local Wang family.

"I need mercury. I wonder if this Taoist priest can help me." Sima Ji spoke hesitantly. He really didn't dare to feel too relieved. Who knows if these Taoist priests are Xibei goods?

"So that's the case, Your Highness can rest assured. If it's just this matter, it's not difficult!" The leading Taoist priest actually felt relieved when he heard this. It was obvious that this matter was within his ability.

After entering Youzhou, several Taoist priests learned about the King of Yan in front of him. After learning that King of Yan had almost collected all the characteristics of tyrants, he felt like a huge rock was pressed on. Who knew what unreasonable requests would the other party make when they really met?

It is not impossible for such princes to rise up and let them perform ascension in the sun, subduing demons and eliminating demons, etc. Now, Sima Ji just asked for mercury as soon as he spoke, which made several Taoist priests very pleased.

Sima Ji seemed to have not seen the other party's expression and said humbly, "Then I would like to thank the Taoist priests."

Then the inner officials of the royal palace invited several Taoist priests, and their eyes were followed by those jars and jars. What exactly was inside? Taoism used these things to create primitive black gunpowder?

Don’t think about the black gunpowder thing for now. Black gunpowder is actually not as powerful as imagined and is not enough to replace the role of cold weapons in war. Sima Ji can use other people’s lives to explore slowly. As for the purpose of being used as a killer weapon, he still has no hope for the time being.

"Go to the villa and let Persian craftsmen bring out the finished product!" Sima Ji ordered Yan Yan, "It is better not to let Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain see how to make glass. The less you know about this, the better."

Confidentiality is of course important. Sima Ji knew that this technique would be learned sooner or later as long as it was targeted, and it would be like hoping that a secret would be kept for hundreds of years, just like hoping that the surrounding tribes would always be like the Huns. However, you can still try to keep it confidential for ten or eight years.

As the saying goes, strange goods are resident and enter a large number of people, they will not have the effect of making money. After all, civilians are penniless and have no purchasing power. It is better to focus on the gentry.

In fact, if you know the principle, you will always find a suitable method as long as you have the opportunity to conduct a lot of experiments. By the time Persian craftsmen started, the method of making flat glass had been basically improved, while silver mirrors achieved good results.

Life in the villa is actually very comfortable. Although Sima Ji kept a group of people in it, he had a lot of food and drink. At this point, the King of Yan treated high-end talents well and did not use craftsmen as prisoners of war to exploit them.

Besides, the king of Yan, his own fiefdom, could certainly create a paradise and specialize in raising a group of high-end talents. The Persians who were sold did not feel that this was the case. They never dared to think of such a comfortable place, which almost solved all their worries. The imagined paradise was nothing more than that, and even their original residence could be called a hell of fire, which was the place where the evil people should go as the minister said.

In fact, the manufacturing of glass is very simple. You can get it by mixing soda and quartz sand together and heating it. Where can I find soda? Sima Ji was good enough to know mercury. He never thought about the dream of leading the progress of civilization alone. He then kept waiting patiently for several years to get these people over. These Persians were all treasures.

Ding... he flicked his fingers and made a crisp sound. Sima Ji smiled satisfied at the glass that had just been sent to the royal palace. From this crisp sound, the days when the Hu Shang burned sand from the Great Jin Dynasty exchanged real gold and silver were over.

"These bastards have fooled the Chinese for hundreds of years!" Sima Ji breathed a sigh of relief, temporarily forgetting that China has also fooled the West for many years with porcelain. Communication has not only suffered losses but not taken advantage of the situation.

Now the King of Yan will replace the role of Hu Shang and personally fool the great Jin gentry to pay for his actions of defeating Hu Shang. "Yan Yan, come here to find a Hu man with a high nose and deep nose, and arrange a group of Persian beauties from the royal palace. I want to create a wealthy Hu Shang to sell this batch of glass products!"

"Why is Your Highness like this? We can do it ourselves!" Yan Yan asked inexplicably.

"If you don't understand, some people naturally think that distance creates beauty!" Sima Ji did not discuss in detail with Yan Yan what foreign monks could recite scriptures. "Besides, it is not advisable to tell me about the fact that glass is made here. Otherwise, there may be some trouble. Under the guise of coming in from the Western Regions, can it be more natural to sell at a high price?"

It would be too obvious if the Yan Prince's Mansion had taken a large amount of glass, and once the bubble was burst, the price of glass products might be avalanche, which is definitely not a good thing for Sima Ji. Anyway, those who can't afford it can't afford it, and it has nothing to do with the people at this time. Using glass itself is also a way to get the wool of the gentry. The price must be raised and must not be reduced.

Let Yan Yan go down to do his business, and Sima Ji is left alone in the main hall to play with these glass products. Has the glass made to the point of glass? The cups made in later generations are not even considered defective, but in this era, they can still be shocking.

Qiaoxi, who happened to come in, couldn't help but open her beautiful eyes when she saw everything in front of her. The glass products in front of her were dazzling.
