Chapter 239: Eye disease
Xia Yanqing looked at his grandson and was very stunned, is this kind of thing that he should care about as a child?
Even if the royal education method is very systematic and has a big picture view. However, this kind of specific how to make money, he, the heir to the throne, should be so concerned?
As a result, Xia Han also stared at her and asked, "Yes, auntie, why?" Our classmates in the school said that our family should make more glass ornaments, so that everyone can buy them, and my aunt can earn a lot of silver. ”
Xia Yanqing's face is full of black lines, and the current children seem to be looking at things from a different angle than the general trend in ancient times.
Isn't everyone reading the books of the sages and repenting for self-denial?
Why do these two little children have the same strong copper smell in their words as her?
Shao Yi stood aside, looking at Xia Yanqing, who was bent over and staring at each other, and was overjoyed: "Hurry up, hurry up and tell them that the little boy has to go home, otherwise he won't be able to catch lunch when he goes back." ”
Xia Yanqing glared at him, he is the king of Yan and the grandson, will he have no food when he goes home? !
Your head is squeezed by the door, right?
She simply squatted down, looking at her luck, this is to talk about such a vulgar thing as making money to the child whose two baby teeth have not been replaced.
In order not to affect her image in the eyes of the future emperor, she said this a little higher.
…… Why, how do you feel that she is wearing here just to be funny!
"That's right," facing the people who will be in charge of the world in the future, Xia Yanqing didn't dare to be the slightest slack because he was young now.
While sorting out his thoughts, he said, "Colored glass, especially exquisite glass ornaments, have a variety of production processes. Usually an ornament with a complex structure needs to be fired repeatedly to achieve the desired effect. Arranging more people can indeed make enough glass products, but there are many things, which means that they are not rare, and they will definitely lead to a drop in prices. ”
She looked at her grandson and wondered if he understood.
I saw that the grandson nodded, and asked again: "Can't you control the production of glass at a reasonable quantity?" ”
Xia Yanqing smiled and said, "Everyone who is a virtuous son must have heard of the phrase plaything losing his mind, right?" ”
Taisun's little face tensed, and it actually had some seriousness.
Xia Yanqing said with a smile: "In my opinion, no matter how beautifully the glass ornaments are made, they are just playthings, and they can earn silver, and it is not worth spending too much effort." Glass is different, the production cost of glass is low, and the utensils made are light and convenient, especially flat glass, which can improve people's living conditions.
As the workshops and craftsmen gain experience, the cost of making glass will be lower. If it goes well, after a decade or two, glass products will replace stoneware and stoneware and enter thousands of households. Therefore, Yanqing thought that instead of managing the many people to make glass ornaments, the result was only for people to enjoy, and not to make great efforts to develop glass products for the benefit of the people. ”
There is another reason, whether it is glass art or glass art, the reason why it is sought after now is only because the quantity is small and rare enough, so it occupies the convenience of being rare and expensive.
For modern people who grew up thousands of years later, Xia Yanqing knows the difference between Eastern and Western aesthetic habits.
The reason why glass has not been widely developed and used in China is not because the ancients could not make it, but because of the long-standing cultural literacy of China, which naturally does not like this kind of thing that is clear and can be seen at a glance.
Glass ornaments are scarce, but they can also maintain some mystery, so that the price of glass continues to maintain a high price.
Once the number of ornaments increases, this kind of clear, can not retain the connotation, will show its disadvantages, absolutely unable to compete with ceramics.
It's good now, there are only a few people who know the recipe and method of the glaze, and they are all their own slaves, so it is easy to control the glaze technology from leaking.
Then, launching one or two pieces of glass every month, she can earn a high price for many years, so why not?
Xia Yanqing was thinking, talking, and watching Taisun's reaction, but he didn't expect such a little kid to seem to understand.
said it, the grandson also heard it clearly, Xia Yan straightened up and glanced at Shao Yi.
She now doubts whether Shao Yi in the previous life had a very serious eye disease.
Such a smart child, even if he has a weak personality, is not far behind. Why did he abandon the Taisun lineage, and finally got on King Jing's thief ship.
Shao Yi was also depressed, he really didn't have eye disease. In the previous life, he was the grandson he met three years later.
At that time, Taisun was really not like this, he was really looking forward and cautious.
He has been squirming for more than ten years, how can he stand this kind of character?
Then, a lot of things went in a direction that got out of hand.
Taisun and Xia Han said goodbye, especially Taisun, who was very reluctant to meet this friend he had just met.
The carriage drove out of the kiln and traveled for a while, Shao Yi broke the silence and asked the grandson: "How did Your Highness remember to ask Qingyunzhai about business?" ”
At this time, the grandson was a little restrained.
He glanced at Shao Yi and said, "Almost all the gentlemen who taught this king have said that businessmen seek profit. This king is just strange, glass ornaments are so popular with people, Qingyun Zhai is a shop, why only one or two pieces a month. ”
He paused, and then added: "In this way, it seems that not all the people who practice business are profiteers. When Aunt Xia is in business, she knows how to benefit the people. ”
Shao Yi didn't answer, only nodded.
Such a grandson is probably really the most suitable to ascend the throne and become an emperor. If he can always maintain such a character and state of mind, it is very likely that he will be a king of Zhongxing.
Taisun's side was silent for a while, as if he was talking to himself: "I don't know that this king will see a little prince today, if he knew earlier, he should have prepared a meeting gift." ”
Shao Yi was surprised, "Do you like Brother Han very much?" ”
Taisun nodded and said, "Brother Han is not as groveling as those little eunuchs in the Yan Palace, nor is he like other cousins of Uncle Wang's family, who always hide their thoughts and speak. This king has no friends. ”
Seeing that he looked lonely, Shao Yi softened a little, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and persuaded: "After Your Highness goes back, you can prepare a gift, you should have the opportunity to meet again." ”
"Really?" Taisun raised his eyes suddenly, and the joy in his eyes almost burst out.
Shao Yi, who looked at the grandson, was depressed and found that the joy in the grandson's eyes was mixed with some cunning.
Special mother, the grandson is really different from his impression, what he said just now was actually hooking him!
Shao Yi frowned and looked at him, very helpless.
Taisun Ze looked at him happily and smiled, and said in a childish voice: "Next time I come out, it will be Deputy Lieutenant Shao who will pick up Chongxian, right?" Chongxian thanked Deputy Lieutenant Shao first. ”
