Chapter 892 Controlling the Big Market

Transparent things, the reflection is too strong, it is not easy to show the carving, in addition to the inlay, it is a plain bracelet or a large plane of leaves, ruyi, beads, can better reflect the beauty of jadeite.

Especially with the mirrored platinum as the base, the refreshing bright green, the visual effect of a pool of green water about to overflow, is indeed extraordinary.

A lot of things cost Su You a month's salary of one and a half - eight hundred guan.

Of course, this is the cost price, the stone is the addition of the real wax jeweler when buying gemstones, and the oil is only equivalent to the cost of personal labor and accessories.

After the polishing process is achieved, the terms "water head" and "glue feeling" can be expressed in jewelry.

Shi Wei's dress is similar to Su You's, and she has always been relatively plain, and after Su You put the bracelet and earrings on her, Li Shunju praised on the side: "The county gentleman should have worn some jewelry appropriately, and the university scholar is too, the gentleman jade is not separated, you are all people with status......

Shi Wei said with a smile: "This is too inconvenient, I still have to practice martial arts on weekdays, and I also have to go to the Tzu Chi Monastery to raise the barn, wearing these bits and pieces, many inconveniences." ”

"Yes, just have a few sets on hand, I'm afraid that when there is a need. Besides, I have always carried the seal given to me by Long Lao, and it can be regarded as a jade that cannot be separated from me. ”

Su You said and opened the folding fan and fanned it a few times: "Identity is not in the wearing of accessories, only in the hearts of others." ”

After speaking, he put the folding fan away: "The big piece of the clams, is it carved?" ”

Li Shunju was fascinated by it, and couldn't help but be furious: "You open the fan for me!" ”

Su You laughed and threw the fan to him, Li Shunju hurriedly opened it, and there was a small poem on it - "Stop in the water, raise your eyes and look out of the smoke." By asking the people of Wuxi, who has a mountain to sell. ”

A line of small characters on the back: "Yuanfeng Wuwu Spring Wang, I heard that the prince Shaobao patrolled Wuxi, I want to see the style, and I can't hate it." In the book of the people of Beijing, write and send Kaifeng. ”

Li Shunju couldn't put it down: "Cai Yuanchang's word is really beautiful, but the poem is really not good, why don't you make a last one next time, and you ask him to write me one too?" ”

Su You waved his hand: "Cai Yuanchang is now serving His Majesty every day, I'm afraid that he will be a little too busy, and a little bit of literature and thinking may be used to deal with the edict." But when you say this clearly, isn't it a slap in the face? ”

After thinking about it, he said, "Why don't you use this fan first?" ”

Li Shun returned the fan to him angrily: "Everyone has written that the prince is under-protected, can I still use it?" Not that blessed! ”

Shi Wei took out a paper bag: "This is the herbal tea for Li Gong, it's good to adjust the weather in the hot summer, thank you for your dedication to supervising this set of jewelry for us." ”

"Well, that's good." Li Shunju took the medicine bag: "There is Lao Junjun, I am just a gesture, come on, I will take the two of you to see the boutique here." ”

Many of them are craftsmen from Shuzhong, and many of them are old acquaintances of Su You, who hated Su You so much that they were itching, because the process standards proposed by Su Oil were indeed unimaginably high for them at that time.

But looking back more than ten or twenty years later, they have now become the group of people that others can't imagine.

The things sold to foreigners, although they are inlaid with gold and treasures, still can't be put on the table, and the real boutiques are all ready to be sent to the palace.

In the first room, several craftsmen are weaving tooth reins.

The tooth is the ivory mat, and there is a record of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "giving Mrs. Li with ivory" in Liu Xin's "Xijing Miscellaneous Records" in the Han Dynasty.

The mat woven with ivory silk has a fine and uniform texture, a smooth and smooth mat surface, soft and comfortable, and can be rolled freely, and when the mat is laid in summer, it is cooler and more pleasant than the straw mat and bamboo mat, which is an important tribute at that time.

"Wei Shu Han Wu Biography" also recorded: "Han Wu in addition to the history of Zhizhou thorn, offering seven treasure bed ivory mats." ”

The principle of production is roughly "all the teeth of the elephant are stored in the inside one by one, the usage is boiled soft, and the tooth strips are drawn out one by one as soft as threads, and the weaving is used as a mat." ”

Li Shunju didn't believe that hard ivory could be made into soft mats before, but Su You knew that there was such a thing in the Forbidden City in later generations, and there were indeed such records in history, so he decided to try it in the ivory production area.

After many consultations of the Jiaozhi classics, I finally found the ancient method of making ivory silk by the Annam people, soaked the ivory through potions, and then split it along the texture, and finally obtained the tooth silk with a width of less than three millimeters and a thickness of only 0.5 millimeters.

After the process is restored, weaving is the strength of the Shugong bamboo silk weaving craftsmen, and they can even use the slight difference in the delicacy of the front and back of the tooth silk to weave a beautiful work of art that looks white and clean on the surface, and can only show dark lines in the sun.

Then use the brocade to make the ground, the brocade lock edge, and the sandalwood box to hold it, before it can be completed.

In addition to the preciousness of the materials, the craftsmanship is also wonderful.

It's magical, it's beautiful, it's ...... Extravagant.

Compared with the tooth stump, the rest of the ivory products are inferior.

I've seen ivory, and the second room is a clams.

Two huge shells stood in the room, the back of which had been polished to a smooth white porcelain color, and the two craftsmen on the front, like an old dentist, took a carving pen to carefully polish the carving on the inside.

There are two clams shells, one is a picture of Haitian Snow Island, and the other is a map of Western Buddhism.

The picture of Haitian Snow Island is intended to be dedicated to Zhao Ji, and the map of the Western Buddha Kingdom is dedicated to the Queen Mother when I heard that the Queen Mother is not in good health.

Wool wheels and a very fine polishing paste are used for polishing the carved surface to a mirrored finish.

These two shell carvings have to be assembled with red sandalwood seats to complete, and after admiring them, Li Shunju took the two of them to woodwork.

There are many people who make wood, and the workshop is also very large, there are carved agarwood, there are planed red sandalwood boards, and there is a platform in the middle, on which there is a fifty-to-one model of Mount Tai.

Su You liked it at first sight.

The total length of the Tarzan is one hundred and fifty meters, and the length of this model is reproduced according to fifty to one, and the length is also a full three meters!

A variety of timber was used throughout the ship, except for the hull which was replaced with teak, and the keel was replaced with Tieli wood, which is a specialty of Cochin, and the rest of the parts were made of the original wood.

This is also exactly the same as the Hangzhou-type giant ship under construction in the Yezhou dockyard now.

In addition to the hull, all the accessories, including sail ropes and iron anchors, are made to scale, all the hatches that can be opened can be opened, and inside the gun bay, there is even a small model of the ship's thunderbolt gun.

Li Shunju called a technician, and the worker took off a piece of the beech wood deck of the model, took out the small cannon in the cabin that was tens of centimeters long and weighed more than 40 catties, and moved it outside, and filled it with a special nitrocellulose medicine bag, which was able to fire in accordance with the normal artillery operation process!

"Hahaha...... Su You rubbed his hands excitedly: "This is so fun!" ”

Li Shunju said with a smile: "The Bianjing City Wall can finally be completed this year, and the training of the new army in Beijing has been completed." The official family will inevitably celebrate, and this is our gift to the official family on Jiaozhi Road. With this, and then explain naval warfare, is it twice the result with half the effort? ”

Su You nodded: "There are still a lot of military secrets here, it doesn't matter if we show our strength in the south, many things must be kept secret from the northerners, and this will also be written in the newspaper at that time, just show them a shell." ”

"Without the steel centipede frame, their ship can only be 3,000 materials at most, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

There are still many workshops in Jiaozhi Road City, and it is a huge handicraft city.

Those who have visited are also gold, lacquer, bamboo, glaze, and jade......

In addition to undertaking national tasks, these workshops mainly take advantage of the unique conditions of Jiaozhi and use the raw materials gathered here from all over the South China Sea to produce a wide variety of handicrafts, which are then sold all over the world.

Just a jade bamboo birdcage, a tired silk silver hairpin, in Bianjing City are sold at a price, Jiaozhou Craftsman Workshop and Yunzhou City Bosi, located at the end of the Southern Land Silk Road and the center of the Maritime Silk Road, facing a world-class huge market.

In fact, until today, there are not many people who can understand the operation of Su oil.

Only Li Daocheng barely has a general response to the pattern of Su oil, and now it seems that Xiao Su Shaobao wants to use the industrial and shipbuilding industry in Yezhou, the luxury goods processing industry in Jiaozhou, the commercial and financial industry in Yunzhou, the ship maintenance and supply guarantee in Meizhou, and the military support of the three cities of Longya, from the high-end to the low-end, from agriculture, industry, commerce, transportation, and military aspects, to completely control the Maritime Silk Road.
