Chapter 263: It's a little embarrassing
Shao Yi heard that the emperor's tone was wrong, so he hurriedly lifted the hem of his robe, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty forgives your sins, the daughter of the Xia family will never dare to be disrespectful to Your Majesty." She just pleaded, begged His Majesty to be gracious. ”
It was Xia Yanqing's thoughts that turned in the emperor's heart.
In the emperor's opinion, if glass can really make clairvoyance, and the Great Liang Dynasty strictly controls this artifact, clairvoyance will definitely become unique to the Great Liang Dynasty.
Even if this situation can be maintained for ten years, during these ten years, the border generals and scouts will be assisted by clairvoyance, and they will always be able to grasp the enemy's deployment and movements one step earlier.
In that way, the chances of the Great Liang Dynasty army winning against the enemy will be greatly increased, and they will basically be invincible.
Expand the territory, stabilize the country, and even pursue and suppress the enemies of the Beiyi, until they are driven to the extreme west and north, so that the people of the Great Liang Dynasty can truly live a safe and stable life.
Thinking of these, the emperor really had a plan, and the imperial court closed all the glass business and put it under the government, prohibiting private manufacturing.
The government can release a small amount of flat glass every year to supply it for civilian use. As for other glass and glass objects, they can completely fade out of people's sight.
There were no glass products before, and everyone's life was not the same.
It has only been a little over a year since the glass appeared, and as long as the government decree is clear and the control is strict enough, this matter is not a problem.
In his mind, the glass and the shape of the glass used by clairvoyance must be complicated. The prohibition of the manufacture of glass by the private sector means that some people know that clairvoyance is made of glass, and there are no raw materials for testing.
As long as the generals and scouts who use clairvoyance in the army are strictly restricted, so that people and things are in and things are dead, clairvoyance, a tool that can determine the victory or defeat of the war, may be kept secret forever.
It's just that he thought it well, but Shao Yi broke his mind.
It's a bit embarrassing.
The clairvoyance was proposed by the Xia family, and it was a good intention for the country and the people. Listening to Shao Yi's words just now, this Xia family girl had already expected that as soon as the clairvoyance came out, the glass business would be in danger.
But for the sake of the Great Liang Dynasty, people knew that there were risks, but they were still willing to dedicate the idea of this kind of utensils to the imperial court......
How can he compare with this woman, he seems very despicable and shameless?
The emperor was not only embarrassed, but also very annoyed.
He is the lord of the Ninety-Five, the lord of the world, but he is trying to seize the property of a woman who is separated from him, or when this woman is dedicated to the country.
The emperor looked at the young master kneeling in front of him, and said coldly: "Since the Xia clan knows that this thing is very important, if she only does it for her own strength, and finally causes the clairvoyance to be mastered by foreign enemies, she deserves this responsibility?" ”
Shao Yi looked sincerely frightened, knelt down and leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that suppressing and restricting glass production is not a superior move. Xia's Yanqing once mentioned this matter, and the production method of glass and glass was the idea that arose when she heard two outsiders chatting in the countryside. In fact, if you are committed to this, it is not difficult to make glass, and there are many precedents in history for glass making. ”
The Emperor's eyes flashed, and he didn't interrupt him.
"Wechen had heard a merchant who traveled to and from the coast mentioned that there were blonde hairs and blue-eyed barbarians on the other side of the ocean, except that the houses used colorless transparent materials on the doors and windows to facilitate lighting.
In addition, the places where the missionaries preached, the doors, windows and some other places, will also use transparent materials with brilliant colors to mosaic extremely beautiful patterns. I thought it was glass and stained glass. ”
The emperor seemed to be a little shaken, his brows furrowed, and he asked, "What you said is true?" Shouldn't glass be rare? ”
"Weichen has no jokes, and he doesn't dare to deceive His Majesty." This is really not made up by Shao Yi.
It's just that he didn't hear it in this life.
In the previous life, as King Jing's right-hand man, Shao Yi had many capable people under his command, and he had also personally traveled to many places.
On the other side of the ocean, he has not only heard of the transparent material used for lighting or inlay decoration on the windows, but also mentioned it to Ah Can.
It's just that Ah Can at that time did not make any comments on the so-called transparent substance. And the glass that Ah Can fired himself was also opaque, and he didn't think about it in the direction of the glass at all.
"You mean, it's very likely that those barbarian lands have mastered more advanced glass technology?" The Emperor was worried.
"Your Majesty is wise." Shao Yi replied, "According to those people, the Barbarian Land does not restrict the production of glass. If they have a lot of workshops and craftsmen there dedicated to this, it is easier to discover the key to clairvoyance. ”
"There is also a glass workshop in Tangzhou, which is also a hidden danger...... Shao Yi told the emperor about Xia Yanqing's worries about the glass workshop in Tangzhou, which was very alarmist.
"Xia Yanqing has personal experience, and the possibility of obtaining clairvoyance technology depends on coincidence and chance. If Tangzhou glass craftsmen have a chance, even if they are not engaged in glass production in the future, they will inevitably get the key to clairvoyance production from the old glass or other ways. ”
The emperor's brows furrowed even tighter, and he asked, "How can a divine object like clairvoyance be so easy to make?" ”
"Now there is only a preliminary idea, as for how difficult it is to implement, you have to try to know."
The Emperor groaned, contemplating the various ideas of the glass industry and clairvoyance.
If there is glass production in other places, it is useless for the Liang Dynasty to restrict folk glass, it is better to use the glass technology of Qingyun Zhai to make things as soon as possible and exert its effect as soon as possible.
Shao Yi saw that the emperor was pondering, and added another fire: "The minister thinks that it would be better to put the glass line in Tangzhou in the open." If the merchant named Liu Dafu was unwilling to give up the huge profits of glass, he chose a sparsely populated place to make glass and ship it to a place outside the border for profit. Or simply place the workshop outside the territory, which is even more difficult to control. ”
The emperor listened to it in his heart, as of now, all the people who have ambitions for the throne, Chengjun Wang is the most scheming and the best hidden.
Shao Yi's idea is very likely to happen, and it is best to put him in the open. In addition, more attention has been paid to the staffing of the Tangzhou Glass Workshop to prevent what Shao Yi said.
At this moment, the emperor basically dismissed the idea of closing the glass workshop.
"Get up and speak." The emperor finally found his conscience.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shao Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he could get up at this time, and naturally it was his lobbying that played a role.
Sun Congshan, who had been lowering his sense of existence, also relaxed, according to the emperor's attitude just now, this Shao Suan, I'm afraid that he will be separated from His Majesty, right?
King Yan finally had a trustworthy and reliable family support, and if one was not good, he returned to his original form. That kid, you're having a good time these days.
The emperor asked again: "According to what you said, it will be faster and safer for the Xia clan to develop clairvoyance?" ”
