Chapter 349: Glass
Li Zhao said without hesitation.
Glass is a product of later generations, and it is still far away from the appearance time, but this thing is somewhat similar to the glass, the glass appeared relatively early, and the current Daqin still has it, but it mostly exists in the hands of the nobles.
He was afraid that Qin Shi Huang would not understand, so he said again: "It is colored glass, that is, five-color stone." ”
Five-color stone is a popular name, five-color, which means a variety of colors, which is too inconsistent with glass, but for the sake of easy understanding, it can only be said so.
"Glass, five-color stone?" Ying Zheng was a little confused, this is too different from Liuli.
"It's made of reprocessed glass." Li Zhao couldn't explain the origin of the glass, so he had to fool.
The manufacture of glass has little to do with the manufacture of glass, but the two are similar in shape, and they can only be dealt with, at least let His Majesty know a concept, otherwise you have to ask long and short questions.
"It's unbelievable that it's made of glass, there is such a transparent thing in the world that can block people like a wall, I have lived for decades, and I can be regarded as insight."
"It's wonderful, it's wonderful, the glass is used as a screen to separate the corridor, good idea."
Ying Zheng nodded in approval.
"Glass can be used not only as a wall, but also as a window."
Most of the windows of the princes and nobles are made of silk fabrics or fine linen fabrics, and the windows of the common people are just a window frame, and when they need to block the wind, they use wooden boards to block them, and if they are too poor, they use grass and trees and the like, it can be said that the windows of Daqin are relatively simple, and it is very inconvenient to blow strong winds or prevent people from peeping. That's why glass flourished in later generations.
Later, Li Zhao made paper, and some of the flexible brains used paper to paste the windows, which was much more beautiful, but it was still not bright enough.
"When the window?" Ying Zheng's mind was lively, his eyes kept looking, and he touched it with his hands from time to time, and after a while, he actually laughed.
"Wonderful, wonderful, this thing is transparent, has strong lighting, and is so hard, it is definitely a good material for windows, compared to other windows, it is simply a small thing."
Such appreciation is very rare, Shang Xin and others also glanced at it, and nodded one after another, this thing is indeed a good material for the window.
"Your Majesty's praise, if Your Majesty likes it, the workshop to be established will be the first to be offered to the palace."
In order to furnish the presidential suite, he bought a lot of things from department stores, and glass was one of them.
Of course, glass was widely sold in later generations, and the public is common, if it is vigorously popularized in Daqin, it must be very popular!
Li Zhao is sure, in fact, this idea has been brewing in his mind for a long time, and the construction of Chang'an Township provides the conditions.
However, the premise must be that the people can afford to consume, if according to the situation at the time of the suppression of business, the people want to afford to consume, there are really very few, but at this moment, the ban on the suppression of business, various industries are also in full swing, and the people now have a certain purchasing power.
Making glass is actually not complicated, the main raw material is sand, Daqin is not civilized, it is quite easy to get sand, and the various workshops in Shanglin Yuan are built according to modern models, and it is not difficult to make modern things.
"Workshop? There is actually a glass workshop in Shanglin Yuan, great, Li Zhao, you will produce it in large quantities immediately, and you must provide it to me as soon as possible. ”
Touching the glass, Ying Zheng couldn't put it down, and said happily, in just a quarter of an hour, he already had a soft spot for this thing.
"No! The minister must order people to speed up production. ”
Even if the workshop has not yet started, it is still a sure promise. But I secretly rejoiced in my heart, with the emperor's words, it would be the best advertisement to sell glass in the future.
"Yes, yes! I wonder what the effect of glass windows will be? ”
Ying Zheng had a whim and muttered.
Li Zhao had already prepared, so he made a gesture of invitation: "Your Majesty, please come to the bedroom, you can see through it." ”
