Daqin: Check in at the beginning of 18 and ask Zulong to abdicate

"How much does this glassware cost?"

Ying Zigao asked seriously.

When Ying Zigao asked about the cost, Liuli craftsman couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.

Hastily said: "Your Majesty, it takes a lot of time to fire this glassware, and you must be very careful, and you must pay attention to the heat. If you are not careful, it will be burned into defective products, so the yield is not high, and the labor cost is also high. ,..."

"I'm asking about the cost." Ying Zigao said hurriedly, "Just tell me the exact cost!"

"Your Majesty, the cost of this wine glass is [-] Wen!"

The Liuli craftsman said cautiously: "The entire set of glass wine sets costs a thousand renminbi!"

"These 8 wine glasses and one jug cost only one dime?"

Ying Zigao couldn't help being surprised when he heard this.

Although I have long thought that the glass products of the Qin Dynasty are much more expensive than those of later generations.

But I really didn't expect it to be so much higher.

The Liuli craftsman thought that Ying Zigao was distressed by the high cost, and hurriedly and carefully explained, "Your Majesty, the little one is already very careful and very economical, but the cost cannot be reduced..."

"I don't mean to blame you. Why are you nervous?" Ying Zigao said hurriedly, "Get up!"

The glazed craftsman stood up cautiously, but still lowered his head and hands nervously, not daring to say a word.

"I told you, you don't have to be nervous!"

Ying Zigao smiled and said: "The glassware is very well made, and I expected the higher cost. There is no problem!"

The Liuli craftsman finally felt completely relieved.

"According to this quality standard, you should lead your apprentices to make as many glass vessels and glass windows as possible for me as soon as possible!"

Ying Zigao gave serious instructions: "The first thing is to ensure the quality, and the second is the output. As long as the cost is kept at the current level!"

"I understand!" The Liuli craftsman hastily agreed!
After dismissing the Liuli craftsman, Ying Zigao looked more and more happily at the glass wine set in front of him.

I couldn't help feeling drunk, and immediately ordered: "Order the imperial dining room to make some refreshing side dishes for me! Serve me a jar of good wine!"

"Slave understands!" The accompanying eunuch hurriedly agreed.

"I also invite the Oriental Empress." Ying Zigao continued, "I also invite the dancing girls and musicians!"

Soon, the imperial dining room brought up the elaborately prepared wine dishes.

Dongfang Bubai also walked over with a maid, smiling all over his face.

"Your Majesty, why are you thinking of your concubine now?"

Sitting neatly beside Ying Zigao, Dongfang Bubai noticed that on the table was a whole set of wine glass.

Immediately brightened.Asked with a look of surprise: "Your Majesty, it turned out to be a glass wine set?"

"That's right, I ordered the glazed craftsman to make it just now." Ying Zigao smiled slightly, and asked the accompanying eunuch to pour the fine wine into the glass jug.

"Your Majesty, this is the first time this concubine has seen such a pure glass wine set!"

Dongfang Bubai carefully looked at the wine jug, and couldn't help picking up a glass wine glass. After examining it carefully, he couldn't help but said, "The price must be expensive, right?"

"The cost of this wine glass is [-] Wen."

Ying Zigao hurriedly said: "The total cost of this set of glass wine sets is only one thousand Wen!"

"A set of drinking utensils for a fee?" Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but frowned slightly when he heard this, and said, "This price is comparable to gold!
With such expensive wine utensils, His Majesty is not afraid of those ministers saying that His Majesty is too extravagant? "

"I am the Son of Heaven, and I am rich all over the world!" Ying Zi said loudly: "With such a price of one or two sets, it is no big deal than gold glass wine sets!"

While talking, he said seriously to Dongfang Bubai: "Besides, if I use this glass vessel, it will also increase the imperial court's income a lot!"

"Your Majesty, is this really possible?" Dongfang Bubai hurriedly asked.

"Of course." Ying Zigao said patiently: "As long as I use this glass wine set, the ministers and noble officials will definitely feel good when they see it, and they will try their best to buy some back. Even if the price is more expensive, they don't care. "

"The preferences of the ministers and nobles will soon become the fashion of the world, and the wealthy households and merchants in Xianyang City, the Guanzhong area, and even the world will try their best to follow the fashion,

No matter how high the price is, I will buy a few sets without any hesitation! "

Hearing this, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but nodded and said: "These people are all rich, and they don't feel bad at all when they spend this money!"

"I will implement a strict official policy on glass!" Ying Zigao continued: "And the purchase and sale of glass will be heavily taxed on a progressive basis!
All the income, in order to leave a city outside of workshops and monopoly agencies as working capital.It will all go to the treasury! "

"Your Majesty, your business mind is really shrewd!"

Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but said seriously: "It's too bad for you if you don't do business with your skills!"

Ying Zigao asked angrily, "Dongfang Bubai, are you praising me or hurting me?"

"Of course it's a compliment!" Dongfang Bubai hurriedly smiled!
"It doesn't matter if you praise me or hurt me." Ying Zigao said solemnly, "I don't feel the chills if I try to make money for the court!"

Hearing these words, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken!
Looking at the shadow Gao, who didn't care about the firm eyes that went forward, his heart couldn't help but jumped again.

Stretching out her slender hand, she carefully picked up the glass wine jug, and filled Ying Zigao's wine glass with fine wine.

"Your Majesty, my concubine respects you!" Dongfang Bubai picked up the wine glass filled with fine wine, raised it high, and said seriously to Ying Zigao.

Seeing Dongfang Bubai's adoring expression, Ying Zigao couldn't help but secretly proud, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

Immediately he ordered: "Dance and play music!"

The melodious and melodious music sounded immediately, followed by the slender dress dancers.They also danced a beautiful and enchanting dance.

Accompanied by Dongfang Bubai, Ying Zigao drank a few glasses of imperial wine for them, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Although this wine is carefully brewed, it is still not strong enough!"

"Your Majesty, this concubine thinks this wine is just right." Dongfang Bubai hurriedly smiled and said, "Although drinking strong wine like that is very powerful, it is also easy to hurt yourself!"

"As long as you don't drink too much alcohol, it won't hurt you."

Ying Zigao smiled slightly and said, "And this liquor is also a way to make money!"

"Your Majesty, why are you talking about money again?"

Dongfang Bubai said with some displeasure.

"The court will always be short of money!" Ying Zigao said hurriedly.
