    In the next two days, Princess Changle would come to Jing Wen's house every day, obviously to bring bad luck to Alice.  And Alice is not a little loli who lets others bully her. She never listens to Princess Changle's "bullying".  And Alice is not at all afraid of Princess Changle's identity as the Princess of the Tang Dynasty, but is able to fight her to the end.  As for Princess Changle, it is impossible to use the power of the royal family to retaliate against a Western lolita. After all, it would be too stingy to let the emperor take revenge for a trivial matter, right?  As a country that enjoys having friends from far away, how could it possibly fall out with foreigners over trivial matters?  Therefore, Princess Changle cannot use the royal rights, which means there is no good way to deal with Alice.  "Husband, is it okay to let the princess and Alice continue to have trouble like this?" Cheng Lin asked.  "What are you afraid of? It's just two lolita making trouble. What are you afraid of? It won't take long before they get tired and will stop. Now, we should do our business. Is the porcelain kiln ready?" Jing Wen asked  .  Cheng Lin immediately said: "I heard your arrangements two days ago, husband. I have already notified people to prepare to renovate this porcelain kiln. But they don't know what this porcelain kiln is used for. Husband, you want to bake  "What?" Jing Wen said with a smile: "I want to make glass, which is also called colored glaze. It's a very expensive thing. It costs a lot to make it!"  Of course Cheng Lin knows what colored glaze is. Colored glaze is actually a kind of gemstone, which was a very expensive gemstone in ancient times.  The value of colored glaze in ancient times was even more precious than crystal. Although colored glaze is an artificially fired gemstone, its firing efficiency is very low. Even if it is fired almost ten times, it may not be successful even once.  Therefore, this also causes the price of colored glaze to be very expensive, and only the truly wealthy can afford it.  And even if the colored glaze is successfully fired, it still needs to be big enough.  And there are no flaws, this is not easy either.  During the glaze firing process, it is inevitable that many other foreign objects will enter, which will cause various flaws.  Therefore, flawless colored glaze is actually more expensive than jade.  At least in the Tang Dynasty, the price of colored glaze was not necessarily any worse than that of Yushi, it was even more expensive.  These are enough to show that the value of colored glaze is high, but Jingwen actually wants to bake colored glaze. This is simply unimaginable.  Glaze firing is not only expensive, but also has a low success rate. It may not succeed even once out of ten times.  So why do you have to do such a stupid thing?  Sometimes the firing is successful once.  He made a fortune, but then he failed and immediately became bankrupt.  This is completely gambling, so of course Cheng Lin does not support it.  Jing Wen also forbids his family members from gambling, so Cheng Lin certainly doesn't want her husband to do such a thing.  "Lin'er, don't worry, I have found a method that can increase the chance of successful firing. By then, I dare not say that all ten firings will be successful, but it will be possible to succeed seven or eight times after ten firings."  Jing Wen said.  "Really?" Cheng Lin was also surprised.  Of course, Cheng Lin also knows the value of this colored glaze, because colored glaze is fired in both the East and the West.  In fact, China has long had records of using colored glaze.  Glaze was also fired in the Tang Dynasty.  But even now in the palace, there are no more than thirty pieces of colored glaze, which is much less than the jade in the palace.  So these are enough to show how precious colored glaze is, even the royal family does not use much.  This is completely in the stage of price but no market.  As long as it can be done and the market is not saturated, it can be sold.  And with the recovery of the Tang Dynasty's private economy, some enjoyment has begun to flourish, so there is no fear that there will be no market for colored glaze.  "Of course. I just want to make colored glaze and cut off the wealth of Westerners!" Jing Wen snorted.  Of course Jing Wen knows that Westerners rely on those luxury goods in exchange for various Eastern supplies.  One of the things in the West is gemstones.  Among gems, colored glaze is the most valuable.  It can be said that if the colored glaze fired in the West is brought to the East, it will be very valuable.  Although Jing Wen is not sure about the success rate of Western glaze firing, at least their success rate is much higher than that of China.  This can be seen from the fact that they often take out colored glass. That Alice actually held a fist-sized glass ball as a so-called apprenticeship ceremony. This is enough to show that although these colored glasses are precious in the West, they are not necessarily absolutely expensive.  Many declining nobles can also use these things.  They just brought these things to Datang in exchange for a large amount of tea, and then they just reversed the trade deficit between the East and the West a lot.  Oriental tea, silk and porcelain are all renewable products to a certain extent.  However, Western gems, gold and silver, are non-renewable.  The East uses renewable things in exchange for a large amount of precious gold from the West.? and non-renewable resources, which means that the West is at a trade disadvantage.  And their only renewable product is colored glaze.  So of course Jingwen wanted to cut off their Liuli profit channels, so that the trade gap between the East and the West could reach its peak.  By then, the West's trade deficit will be enough to make them drink.  Jing Wen doesn¡¯t have any psychological pressure at all about exploiting Westerners.  After all, didn¡¯t the West often exploit China with many things in later generations?  However, what China sells are all low-tech products, while what the West produces are also high-tech products.  In this way, a large amount of China's resources have been taken away, and Jing Wen is certainly not satisfied.  So now that Jingwen has traveled back to ancient times, that means he naturally wants to make a fortune so that they can be exploited by Jingwen.  In the end, if the West does not have various precious metals to be exploited, then they will cause a lot of fiscal deficits.  Once a huge fiscal deficit breaks out, Westerners will really be in chaos!  Of course Jing Wen would do this kind of thing that benefits himself at the expense of others, and he would do it in a big way.  "Okay, Lin'er, let's see next how to bake this colored glaze into good things. When the time comes, I will show you that it is not that difficult to produce this colored glaze." Jing Wen said  .  "Start, follow my method and produce colored glaze for me as soon as possible!" Jing Wen said.  (Want to know more exciting news about "Rigoletto of the Tang Dynasty"?
