The temperature of the furnace is sufficient, not only can it combine the ore used to make glass, but it can even fuse many alloys. This means that if iron and steel are used, such a furnace can only be improved by one or two to melt the ore into molten iron. This is not only easier and faster than the method of refining the ore into pig iron and then squeezing it to remove bubbles and impurities after repeated tempering, but also the quality will be improved leaps and bounds.

At least a few blacksmiths from the past could see the power of this high-temperature furnace, and whispered while quickly licking the fuel in the furnace.

Of course, Ye Chunqiu will not have this idea for the time being, and now the iron and steel production consumes too much.

However, after the mold was reversed, Ye Chunqiu found that the yield rate was not very high. The main reason was that the mold was too rough and could only be improved in the slow production.

These are things that cannot be rushed. Ye Chunqiu took a few good round mirrors back. When he went out, the huge chimney had already risen with thick smoke. In an instant, it seemed like a special landscape beside the canal.

After production, sales and market development are about this. After discussion, Ye Chunqiu and his uncle Sun Qi chose the most relaxed and convenient way. On the one hand, they placed the mirror and glass on the shelves of the clinic, and the Zhenguo Mansion divided it into a portion of the silver. After the display of the clinic, if the sales can attract the likes of noble ladies, sales will not be a problem for the time being.

Of course, this is just a channel.

The real channel is another.

Sun Qi brought the samples to Zuiyue Tower in the inner city early the next morning. A silk merchant surnamed Chen was waiting here for a long time. The Chen silk merchant did a lot of business, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, where there were thousands of acres of mulberry forests and a silk-making workshop. However, now it has become one of the main suppliers of female clinics.

The female clinics in Jiangnan have been expanding continuously, and the direction of expansion is mainly in the Southern Zhili and Zhejiang Provincial Administration and the General Secretary. Almost all the decent cities have opened clinics. Now that their fame is gradually increasing, it has gradually become the main entertainment place for the noble ladies and boudoir ladies in the city.

It is precisely because of this that this mall, which integrates health, shopping and entertainment, has gradually taken shape. The current profit is as high as nearly 100,000 silver per year, but most of the money is still used to purchase land, expand stores, and recruit a large number of people.

The emergence of female clinics has almost completely crushed the traditional silk, jewelry, rouge and powder industries on the market.

The so-called business is nothing more than a channel. The channels of the mall allow the women in the mansion who truly possess the money bag to release their purchasing power. The managers, managers and purchasing personnel who were originally entrusted by them have plummeted, so the merchants involved in these industries suddenly lost their customers and had to face two choices.

Either cooperate with a female clinic to supply the female clinic, or you can only bear tremendous pressure and barely maintain the business, but the maintenance of such a business is already very limited.

The commercial activities of this era have never been aimed at ordinary families, because most people are self-sufficient, and men farm and women weave. These people have no need for them. At most, they just pull a few feet of coarse cloth during festivals.

The real consumer group is a wealthy family. Although these people are not large, their purchasing power is amazing. Now, these customers have arrived at the female clinic like snowballs. While many merchants are frowning, some have taken the opportunity to include them in the female clinic supply system, and instead earned a lot of money.

Chen Si Shang is one of the latter. Most of his silk fabrics are now specially supplied to female clinics. Only some inferior products or scrap materials will be supplied in other places. In other words, female clinics are now the only source of income for Chen Si Shang.

Chen Si Shang also had some relationships in the capital, mainly because he had several shops in the capital, so he would come to the capital at this time of year. On the one hand, he maintained his relationship with some people in the capital, and came to the door to send some ice and charcoal, and on the other hand, he was looking for some business opportunities. I heard that Sun Qi was also there, so he had to invite Sun Qi at every few days. After all, Sun Qi is his main parents of food and clothing today.

He had already figured out Sun Qi's background. A brother-in-law was in charge of politics in the Ministry of Revenue. The nephew was even more powerful. The famous Ye Xiuzhu, who was Wang Butang's unmarried son-in-law and a favorite disciple. These relationships are enough to make people feel afraid.

It is precisely because of this that Sun Qi has made his business so big in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, but few people dare to make things difficult for him.

Just now, before Chen Sishang had greeted her, Sun Qi had already taken out two things with a smile on his face and said, "Sun invited this wine today. Brother Chen, there are two things here, so please see Brother Chen."

This is not Sun Qi's style. Chen Sishang dared not neglect it anymore. He hurriedly took two things, one was like crystal, which looked like glass, but not glass. Chen Sishang couldn't help but marvel at it: "What kind of treasure is this?"

As he was talking, Chen Sishang picked up another one. When he saw it, he was startled by himself inside. This was a mirror, but it was definitely not a bronze mirror. Its effect was many times stronger than that of a bronze mirror. A strand of hair on his face could be reflected vividly in the mirror.

"Ah...this is..." Chen Sishang looked at Sun Qi in surprise.

He is also a wealthy family. His daily expenses are not luxurious, but most of them are top-notch, but these two things still make him feel rare.

"Are Brother Chen interested? This is a small business that Sun is doing now. Well, this is called a crystal mirror, how about a bronze mirror? And this, well, this is a crystal window. Look, if this is glued to the door and window, this room can not only shelter from wind and rain, but also clean and transparent..."

Sun Qi began to introduce the many benefits of these two things.

Although Chen Sishang listened attentively, he was thinking in his heart that things were good things, but he didn't know what Sun Qi was thinking. Most of the people who do business were more thoughtful, and Chen Sishang was careful.

After Sun Qi was almost done, Chen Sishang couldn't help but say, "I heard from Sun Dongjia that this is really a treasure." This is a half-true thing, in his eyes, it is indeed a good thing, but his other half is a compliment. After all, business now relies on female clinics. If female clinics reduce the share of supply, it will be difficult to do business. Once the goods are accumulated, they will lose all their money.

Sun Qi smiled, raised the teacup and sipped the tea, and said, "So, Brother Chen also thinks that this crystal has great potential? Have you ever thought of getting involved in this business?"
