Chapter 489: Ingenuity
Renzong can be said to be the biggest backer of the entire Dinghai Navy, but although this brand is very big, he is only a big background, a big backer, and he still needs them to complete the operation, and he really offends all the court officials, so it is difficult to operate.
The king of Hades is good, the little ghost is difficult, and the shop of the Dinghai Navy, if it wants to achieve rapid development, it must be deeply rooted and integrated into the entire territory of Bianliang, and it cannot become an outlier as it is now.
Having said that, it is not so difficult, it is nothing more than planning and means, the background is a foundation, and the specific threading of the needle also requires specific operations, which the person in charge of Bianliang has done a very good job.
The people who can gain a foothold in Bianliang, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and who can develop the entire Dinghai Sea store so well, are not ordinary people.
At the door of the store, the person in charge had already been notified, and the staff who were in charge of both sides of the market and the people who guided the traffic had already seen the sign of Dinghaihou and came to report the news.
Regarding the opening of the crystal market, he had already reported it to Zhao Xin, and he also hoped that Zhao Xin would arrive.
To be honest, at this moment, his heart was pinching a handful of cold sweat, fortunately, this congestion was dealt with in advance, if Zhao Xin happened to see the congestion when he arrived, it would be a big trouble.
Zhao Xin is not very old, but he is very confident in his arbitrariness.
What could be better than the vision of a traverser, in the realm that Zhao Xin understands, it is absolutely a word, no matter how strange the order is, in the end, it will show a huge effect and create his supreme authority.
Looking at these respectful people, Zhao Xin nodded slightly, in the eyes of these people, the opening of this crystal workshop is a big deal, but in his opinion, it is just a sales store.
These glass products, basically, were selected by him and sent to Bianliang.
Perhaps in the future, with the popularization of glass products, ordinary glass products will become the mainstream, but in the beginning, all of them were rare treasures.
He knows very well what kind of light these things will show after a unique arrangement, and he won't worry about them at all, these things won't sell.
Even Zhao Xin didn't say much, of course Ye Qingchen was the same, he was just invited to come, and he didn't want to interfere with Zhao Xin, but seeing the long queue here, it was also a little strange, what the hell is it, maybe it's all a mirror?
I'm afraid that only the mirror has such a great attraction, taking the most noble concubine of the palace as the starting point, in the well-informed palace, it has caused a sensation, which is quite amazing for the attraction of some noble ladies.
Ye Qingchen followed Zhao Xin directly and walked into this shop, he couldn't leave his eyes, and he realized that he really underestimated this crystal workshop.
The outside of the whole store is no different from other stores, but the inside is different, and the unique layout is completely different from the Bogu frame of the Northern Song Dynasty.
These Bogu shelves are very reasonably distributed in every position of the store, and on each Bogu shelf, there are a lot of things, and each one is quite prominent.
Glass, that is, colored glass, from the first time it appeared, was in the substitute of jade.
China regards jade as beauty, and there are different grades and specifications of beautiful jade, but as a substitute for jade, it is not jade in the first place.
But the real upper class doesn't like glass, fake is fake, no matter how much you believe in it, it is impossible to reach the level of jade.
The glass mirror is unexpected, he also asked Zhao Xin, what is going on, Zhao Xin explained, with transparent glass, and then there is a layer on the back, this layer has a bright metal appearance, can illuminate everything transparently.
Ye Qingchen may not understand how this coating is made, but he understands that glass is transparent, natural gems in nature, transparent is crystal, and the price of crystal is not very high among all kinds of gemstones, and if glass is similar to this, it is not very expensive.
I thought that only the glass mirror was the focus of attention, but Ye Qingchen saw a completely different scene, crystal clear, as transparent as the glass products, under the unique light, flashing with different light.
The reason why the gemstone, in the beginning, is very attractive, is that it can refract light, and in the ordinary of nature, it shows a different light.
Most of these colors are the colors produced by the combination of minerals and gemstones, and the glaze is known for its colorful colors, and the glazed tiles are also based on this, but so
Perhaps, these of the Dinghai Navy will go one step further and make the colors more realistic and realistic.
But what was the pattern inside, after Ye Qingchen got used to the light in the entire room, he began to notice the row of Bogu shelves facing him.
The most important thing that should be placed here, but the mirror that he had been paying attention to was not placed here, but on the other side.
What does this mean, is this a default to these things, is it more expensive than glass mirrors, but what is this?
It seems that some transparent glass products, even if they are made of pure crystal, should not be more expensive than glass mirrors.
The status of crystal in the whole of China is not high, and even many times, it will not exist as a gemstone, and what really made Ye Qingchen realize the role of crystal was the appearance of telescopes.
Such a weapon with a unique role in military affairs has changed the pattern of the battlefield since it appeared, and when this early warning time has changed from a few miles to more than a dozen miles, or even hundreds of miles, the situation of war has undergone far-reaching changes.
However, no matter how Ye Qingchen looks, these are ordinary, transparent glass bowls.
"Ye Xiang, take a closer look!"
Under the guidance of Zhao Xin, Ye Qingchen took a few steps closer, but when he walked in front of this Bogu Frame, especially when he saw the unique light on the Bogu Frame, he was taken aback.
That's right, under the special light, at a unique angle, in the dozen or so glass bowls of the Bogu shelf, the patterns of several zodiac signs were virtually refracted out.
This is? Even Ye Qingchen couldn't help but pick up the glass bowl, but when he left that light, the glass mirror quickly changed, and it was still the original transparent, but when he put it back, a magical scene appeared again.
"What's going on!" Ye Qingchen couldn't hold back any longer, and almost asked silently.
Zhao Xin is not convenient to say more, to put it bluntly, what is transparent, is a kind of light in which it is not blocked, can be clearly transmitted to a state, transparent glass, itself has this kind of characteristics, in it, in the process of firing, to arrange, so that the transparent interior, for the conversion and refraction of light, there are certain changes, which can make the seemingly transparent surface, through the refraction of light, to form a unique pattern.
Of course, such fine glass, even in later generations, is also a high rate of scrap, but waste is not afraid, as long as 1000, 10,000, can make one, in the card system, is infinite.
In fact, workers in this era, after knowing the simple principle, have a high hands-on ability, in addition to these favorite zodiac signs, there are also Guanyin Bodhisattva, Buddha and other things, anyway, how to festive how to come.
If it's just a glass product, it's nothing, but this is ingenious, the glow-in-the-dark glass of grape wine, isn't it able to shine at night, these patterns under different colors are the real treasures.
This kind of ingenious thing, even Ye Qingchen was only shocked, not to mention others, people, especially under the unique design, shine with different lights, so that a group of cups can actually flash different patterns and show different patterns.
If it weren't for the real thing in front of him, maybe Ye Qingchen wouldn't have believed that there was such a magical product.
Actually, this kind of thing, to put it bluntly, is not surprising, through a unique arrangement, different refraction ratios, so that the light changes inside the glass, and this is the basic principle of this kind of cup.
Color, in optics, is just for the different reflections of sunlight, different light sources, on the human retina, leaving different colors, this is the real key.
Natural gemstones, there are natural colors, this color is relatively fixed, there are few different colors, but the glass is not the same, you can carry out a certain design, so that his light transmittance, refraction, and even scattering type produce different changes, in such changes, after exquisite design, you can show different external performance situations, which is also the reason why glass products in later generations are popular in architecture, and the design will show different light, showing different external images, Add to that the different uses and uses, and that's where the glass comes in.
Now, it is almost difficult to get some bulletproof glass, high translucent glass, optical glass and other high-end glass, but it is simple, play with light, refraction, and even add some special minerals to it, so that its refraction angle changes, and finally form a complete handicraft, which is not difficult, as long as you feel a little, or even by hand, you can make it.
Ye Qingchen already admired Zhao Xin incomparably, a simple business was actually played by Zhao Xin to such an extent.
It looks inconspicuous, even ordinary, but in the light, under different angles, it shows a completely different pattern, which is definitely called a ghostly workmanship.
Of course Zhao Xin knows what Ye Qingchen thinks in his heart at this moment, in fact, this does not satisfy him, and it really can't reach the level of later generations, changing scenery step by step, and even hiding mysteries in the ordinary, these have more obvious intentions inside and outside, that is, the ancients who were not familiar with glass did not realize it.
In the future, when glass becomes more popular, as long as the embryo is constructed according to a certain method, it will be able to achieve considerable results.
Business, for Zhao Xin, is just a very simple way to make money, these seemingly magical treasures, the cost is not high, but they can attract attention, earn a lot of income, and contribute to the development of the Dinghai Navy.
On the Bogu shelf in front of him, after walking around, Ye Qingchen once again confirmed, it is really thanks to Zhao Xin, why are there so many wonderful ideas, these works of art can actually achieve such an effect, even he, a third envoy, will be moved, not to mention other people, those powerful families who are queuing up outside, seeing this, what kind of enthusiasm will burst out.
Ye Qingchen just came to see a lively, he didn't pay so much attention to these foreign things, otherwise, Renzong would not have chosen him as the third envoy, he controlled the most powerful finances of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, even if it leaked out of his fingers every year, it was very terrifying.
But even such a person, seeing this treasure, faintly caused ripples, not to mention other people, they would go crazy.
In addition to these glass products, there are also mirrors, handicrafts, furniture, the unique characteristics of glass, especially the characteristics of easy molding, so that it has a use in many aspects, only unexpected, nothing can not be done.
After visiting these commodities in advance, especially after looking at the prices of these commodities, Ye Qingchen stopped talking, things are all good things, of course the price is good, that set of zodiac cups, the price is as high as 240,000 guan, almost every 20,000 guan price, even he is a little staggering, but from a certain idea, these things are really not too expensive, these are unimaginable treasures.
But there are too many similar treasures, cups, Buddha statues, all kinds of handicrafts, and a mountain made of various colors of glass, I really don't know how this one was carved.
Soon, the time for the opening of the crystal workshop came, the crystal workshop opened, and the personnel who were introduced to the crystal workshop in batches were suddenly shocked by these measures, whether it was ingenious glass products or terrible glass mirrors, it was really the same as the rumors, and even to a certain extent, more terrible than the rumors.
As the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Bianliang is not only the most powerful place in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, but also a place where the rich gather.
Under the premise that Renzong is standing behind and using power to suppress people, it is almost impossible to succeed, so he can only rely on money.
It's fair, if you have money, you can buy enough things, and if you don't have money, then look good, and treat everyone equally.
Among the other stores in the Dinghai Navy, the most common clearly marked price is also available here, but it is more of a low price, and many treasures are all alone, you like it too, and I like it too, so what should I do.
It's very simple, then bid, whoever gives more, defeats the opponent, and this thing belongs to whom, which is the truth that no one can tell.
