"You're really hard." Li Xinchen pretended to be angry, in fact, for him who has been in battle for a long time, this is not much strength at all, but it is just a little girl who is coquettish.

Lechang was distressed and wanted to squat down to see, at this time she realized that this was her husband, but also the person she loved, if it really hurt, then she would also feel distressed. But I just wanted to interrupt him, and I didn't really use my strength······

"Sister Le'er, don't be deceived by your husband, he pretends to be like." Xiao Xiang did not hesitate to debunk Li Xinchen, and glanced at Li Xinchen provocatively, which was regarded as revenge for Li Xinchen teasing her just now.

And Li Xinchen waved his hand generously: "This little injury and pain is nothing." Xiang'er, come here, and tell you about yesterday's boundless wind and moon. ”

"I don't, I eat." Xiao Xiang decisively refused.

"Fan'er?"

"Concubine ······" Wei Chi Chi was in a dilemma for a moment. Xiao Xiang is still young, and even Li Xinchen treats her as a child, so everyone who is not old or young with Li Xinchen is used to it, who doesn't know that Li Xinchen is the most spoiled by this little girl. But what Xiao Xiang could say casually, Wei Chi Chi didn't dare to say.

"Husband, let's eat." Le Chang really can't stand it, this guy tossed himself enough yesterday, and now he is starting to make things difficult for Xiao Xiang and Wei Chi Chifan.

Seeing that Lechang's face was not good, Li Xinchen nodded obediently, and just drank two mouthfuls of porridge when he heard a knock on the door.

"Your Highness, Wu Ping, the master craftsman of the Chengdu workshop, asked to see him, saying that the workshop inadvertently developed a gemstone and dedicated it to His Highness." Li Ping said outside the door.

"Bring it in first." Li Xinchen raised his eyebrows, but he was a little curious.

Wu Ping, the master craftsman of the Chengdu workshop, is the first disciple of Ouyang Mo in Bashu, he is a stable person, and he is a well-known craftsman in Bashu, Ouyang Mo admires him very much. This time, Ouyang Mo led a team north to inspect the construction of the workshop in Hanzhong, and handed over the Chengdu workshop, which had always been regarded as the meat of his heart, to Wu Ping.

For Ouyang Mo, Li Xinchen is of course very trusting. This former master of Nanchen has dedicated almost all his efforts to the industrial construction of Bashu, so basically Li Xinchen, a talent recommended by Ouyang Mo, will not refuse.

After all, Li Xinchen is not strong enough to know what kind of talents are in this era, and who they are, so Ouyang Mo's recommendation is still very valuable for reference.

A guard walked in with a plate, and the eyes of the three girls were quickly drawn to the sparkling gem on the plate.

Li Xinchen's eyes widened even more, the surroundings of this gem were colorful, and the middle part was transparent, although there were still many impurities and bubbles in the middle, but Li Xinchen almost blurted out.

This is a piece of glass.

These guys actually fired the glass.

Colored glass, in fact, is stained glass. It's just that because the glass only plays a decorative role in many cases, and it is very difficult to fire, once a large number of impurities appear in it, then it will affect the beauty and can no longer be used.

Therefore, in ancient China, glazed glass has long been enjoyed by nobles, and the Forbidden City was built in a similar way to burn glazed tiles as a symbol of royal dignity, which also perfectly interprets the four words "splendid".

However, in history, the appearance of glass was already in the Song Dynasty, and to large-scale use in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but until the end of the Qing Dynasty, China's glass has not appeared similar to glass as transparent products, or as an ornamental glass for a long time, rich in color is obviously better than transparent.

And because the glass itself is easy to break, people have always been not very interested in how to apply, and there is even a poem to describe "colorful clouds are easy to disperse and glass is broken".

So when Li Xinchen saw Liuli, Rao was used to hiding his secrets, and he almost blurted out at this time. But it's good that I didn't say it, otherwise I'm afraid it would be really difficult to explain.

The glass was inadvertently fired in the workshop, which is actually reasonable. This is mainly due to the fact that Li Xinchen has been encouraging the workshop to use the existing conditions to explore and improve the product, and is actively researching new minerals returned from the South Central Zone.

In the final analysis, Li Xinchen is encouraging the creativity of the workshop.

Creativity is the driving force behind the development of industrial society, and if Li Xinchen wants Bashu to no longer be limited to agriculture, then it is necessary to encourage the creativity of craftsmen.

Li Xinchen never believed that the Chinese nation was a nation lacking creativity, and the four great inventions and the rest of the mechanical creations that later generations talked about were enough to prove this, and in terms of creativity, the mainland civilization was no less than the maritime civilization.

As for why the Chinese civilization gradually lost its creativity in the end, and even began to reach the point of self-containment in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, in Li Xinchen's view, this was mainly due to the lack of sufficient external pressure.

In the Han and Tang dynasties, in fact, the territory of the Chinese nation has expanded to the borders of all sides, the east is the sea, the west is the Gobi and the plateau, the north is the snow field, the south is full of miasma and barbaric tropical rainforest, and it can even be said that all the suitable land for survival in the entire land of China has been included in the hands of the Chinese nation.

This is also why the Han "died by force".

When there is really no room for external expansion, internal contradictions will naturally intensify.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the same problem was the same, and even in the Qing Dynasty, the original northern threat had disappeared, and the rulers easily entered the point of self-containment, such as a self-proclaimed "perfect old man" emperor.

This lack of external pressure naturally leads to a loss of creativity. When everyone is satisfied with the status quo, there is no way to talk about creation, not to mention that the Manchu rulers also suppressed these strange and porous techniques in order to strengthen the centralization of power, and this kind of top-down obstruction naturally completely stifled the possibility of China continuing to spontaneously move towards an industrial society, and the so-called capitalist germ also died.

In contrast, the small Europe is destined to the people above can only fight for a small territory, in this case, how to create a more effective way to make money and kill the enemy has become a more important problem than food and clothing, and it can even be said that only with money, defeat the enemy, in order to ensure their own food and clothing, so strong external pressure so that they have no way to lose their creativity.

Therefore, it is good to say that the Chinese nation is blessed and destined, but it cannot be said that there is no creativity in this nation.

Looking at the glass in front of him, Li Xinchen sighed a little emotionally for a while.

I must bring this nation out of this doomed fate.
