Chapter 272: The Mirror Shocks Brother Zheng
Inside the palace.
Ying Zheng was there reviewing the recital, and at this time, the eunuch's announcement came from outside, and he only heard the eunuch say.
"Your Majesty, the Nineteenth Prince, come here, by the way, the Nineteenth Prince, also brought a group of people to carry some strange-looking things, including several mirrors......"
After hearing the eunuch's report.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but show a curious expression, and he muttered.
"This kid is tossing out again, what a new thing!"
Saying that, he stood up and put down the fold in his hand, and then said to the left and right.
"Let this kid in!"
"No!"
The eunuch next to him nodded for a short time.
Win Changsheng He took a big stride and walked into the main hall.
I saw Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the dragon chair curiously, and then looked at him, and when he saw the mirror he was holding in his hand, Ying Zheng couldn't help but gasp, and then let out an exclamation.
"What is this thing? This is? ”
"Father, this is a mirror, a mirror made of glass!"
Saying that, Ying Changsheng ordered someone to send the made wine glass and flat glass to Ying Zheng's table, so that Ying Zheng could have a long insight.
Stroking the flat glass, as well as the made goblet to win the government, I couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.
"I heard you say this glass before, I still don't believe it, but now it seems that this is really a good thing, in the future, my Daqin should vigorously produce this thing, this is much better than crystal......"
"By the way, this thing should be cheaper, after all, I heard you say that the raw materials for this thing are relatively easy to obtain, and the price is not too high, right?"
"Father is wise!"
After hearing the voice of Win Zheng.
Ying Changsheng nodded and explained to Ying Zheng.
"This, as my father said, the price of these things is not too high, and now there is an idea, I don't know if you have this idea!"
"Tell me about it?"
Ying Zheng was a little curious, he looked at Ying Changsheng in front of him with interest and asked.
This is the time to win longevity.
With a smile, he stepped forward and put the mirror on the table where he won the government.
Ying Zheng took this mirror and looked at his own appearance and couldn't help but say.
"Speaking of which, I've lived for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen myself so clearly!"
"I didn't know what I looked like before!"
Well, although I can pass through the water, although I can pass through, I can reflect my own appearance through the bronze mirror.
But what this thing is shining out of is not very clear after all.
In such a situation.
Suddenly, when he saw his clear face in the glass mirror, it was inevitable that he would win the government, and he would sigh one after another.
And Ying Changsheng said with a smile on the side.
"That's natural, the cost of the glass mirror of my father is not too high, so Erchen thinks that in the future, the people of my Great Qin should be able to afford to look in the mirror......"
"That's right!"
After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded heavily.
Immediately, he seemed to think of something and said to Ying Changsheng.
"By the way, I think this mirror is a rare item!"
Well, glass mirrors were indeed an extremely rare item in ancient times, and in the thirteenth century, Venetian profiteers had already invented them.
But they've always had a monopoly on the technology, and even though it's not too expensive, they still only make a small number of glass mirrors.
And the reason for this is for one purpose, that is, monopoly plus profiteering.
Only if the number of mirrors is smaller, it can be sold for a high price.
This is what the Venetian merchants thought, in such a situation.
Until the seventeenth century, mirrors around the world were very expensive.
It went all the way to France, after breaking the Venetian monopoly on mirror-making.
The cost of mirrors has come down.
At the moment, in the eyes of Win Zheng.
This glass mirror can be exported as a luxury item and sold all over the world.
At this moment, I only heard Ying Zheng open his mouth and say.
"I think this glass mirror is so beautiful, my Great Qin is rich all over the world, the only powerful country in the world, as the emperor, I still think so, this world, that is the monarchs and nobles of small countries in other places, probably should also think so, right?"
"Indeed!"
Ying Changsheng thought for a moment, nodded and said.
Mirrors can be sold as a luxury item entirely, he says.
"In this case, in the future, there will be one more commodity on the Silk Road, anyway, this glass mirror, the cost is not high, and it is more convenient to carry, just bring a few mirrors, sell them to the West, probably can earn a lot of profits......
Ying Changsheng's voice fell.
Ying Zheng nodded heavily.
He said.
"In that case, let's do it, by the way, you just said that you have an idea, what is this idea?"
Saying that, Ying Zheng was curious, looking at this Ying Changsheng, and then said.
"You kid won't be exactly what I thought, would you? Are you planning to sell mirrors to the Western Regions? ”
"No, no, no, the son didn't think of these just now, this is what my father thought of!"
Ying Changsheng shook his head again and again, this is not him slapping Brother Zheng's ass.
But that's the case, he really didn't think about it for a while.
I only heard Ying Changsheng say to Ying Zheng with a smile.
"What Erchen wants to say is about Xianyang Palace!"
"Xianyang Palace?"
After hearing Ying Changsheng's words.
Winning the government is inevitable, revealing a look of doubt.
He was a little puzzled and muttered.
"What's the matter with Xianyang Palace, aren't you kid planning to do anything in the palace?"
"Father is wise!"
Ying Changsheng nodded.
agreed, and then he said.
"Erchen really plans to do some projects in this Xianyang Palace, father, take a look at this flat glass, what do you think of this?"
Saying that this is Ying Changsheng, he pointed to the piece of glass on the table and asked Ying Zheng.
Stroking the smooth glass of Yingzheng, showing a puzzled expression.
He asked.
"Well, yes, yes, it's transparent, it's good, but what's the use of this thing? Is it used to make glass mirrors? Or do you use it as a lid? ”
"Father, don't you think this thing can be used to seal the window?"
After hearing the words of Win Zheng.
Ying Changsheng said to Ying Zheng with a smile.
"Seal the windows?"
After hearing Ying Changsheng's answer.
After winning the political fight, his eyes lit up, yes, this glass is transparent, if it is installed on the window, wouldn't it mean that the lighting in the palace will become excellent.
Winning politics for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought it was a good idea, he slapped his thigh and said.
"It would be a good thing if this glass could be installed in Xianyang Palace!"
"Yes, Father, if all the doors and windows are equipped with glass, then the lighting in the palace will definitely be greatly improved!"
