I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 272
Inside the palace.

Ying Zheng was reviewing the memorial there, when the eunuch's announcement came from outside, only the eunuch said.

"Your Majesty, the nineteenth son is here, by the way, the nineteenth son also brought a group of people with some strange things, including several mirrors..."

After hearing the eunuch's report.

Ying Zheng couldn't help showing a curious expression, he murmured.

"This kid has tossed out again, what's new!"

Speaking of Ying Zheng, he stood up and put down the memorial in his hand, and then said to the left and right.

"Let this kid in!"

"No!"

The eunuch beside him nodded for a while.

Ying Changsheng took big steps and walked into the main hall.

I saw Ying Zheng sitting on the dragon chair curiously, and then looked at him. When he saw the mirror he was holding in his hand, Ying Zheng couldn't help but gasped, and then let out a cry. exclaimed.

"What is this? This?"

"Father, this is a mirror, a mirror made of glass!"

Speaking of Ying Changsheng, he ordered someone to deliver the made wine glass and flat glass to Ying Zheng's table, so that Ying Zheng could learn more about it.

Touching the flat glass and the prepared goblet, Yingzheng couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"When I heard you talk about this glass before, I still didn't believe it. Now it seems that it is really a good thing. In the future, Daqin should vigorously produce this thing. It is much better than crystal..."

"By the way, this thing should be cheaper. After all, I heard you said that the raw materials for this thing are relatively easy to obtain and the price is not too high. Isn't that true?"

"Father is wise!"

After hearing Ying Zheng's voice.

Ying Changsheng nodded and explained to Ying Zheng.

"Well, as my father said, the prices of these things are not too high, and now I have an idea. I wonder if your father has this idea!"

"tell me the story?"

Ying Zheng was a little curious. He looked at Ying Changsheng in front of him with interest and asked.

Win Changsheng at this time.

Smiling, he stepped forward and put the mirror on Yingzheng's desk.

Ying Zheng held this mirror to look at himself and couldn't help but say.

"Speaking of which, I have lived for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen myself so clearly!"

"I didn't know what I looked like before!"

Well, although I can pass through the water these days, I can pass through the bronze mirror to see my own appearance.

But what this thing takes out is not very clear after all.

In this situation.

Suddenly seeing his clear face in the glass mirror, it is inevitable for Yingzheng to express his emotions one after another.

But Ying Changsheng said with a smile on the side.

"That's natural. The cost of the glass mirror father is not too high, so I feel that in the future, the people of my Daqin should be able to look at the mirror..."

"It is!"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded heavily.

Then he seemed to think of something to say 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. In the [-]th century, profiteers in Venice had already invented glass mirrors.

But they've always had a monopoly on the technology, and even though the cost of the stuff isn't too high, they still make only a handful of glass mirrors.

And the reason for doing this is for one purpose, which is to monopolize and seek huge profits.

Only when the number of mirrors is small can it be sold at a high price.

This is what the merchants of Venice thought, under such circumstances.

Until the seventeenth century, the price of mirrors all over the world was very expensive.

All the way to France, after breaking the monopoly of making mirrors in Venice.

This reduces the cost of the mirror.

At this moment, from Yingzheng’s point of view.

This glass mirror can be exported as a luxury and sold all over the world.

At this moment, only Ying Zheng opened his mouth and said.

"I think this glass mirror is so beautiful. I, Great Qin, is the only powerful country in the world. As the emperor, I still think so. The people in this world are the monarchs and nobles of small countries in other places. It should be the same. Think about it?"

"Indeed!"

Ying Changsheng thought for a moment, nodded and said.

Mirrors could be sold as a luxury item, he said.

"Since this is the case, let's add another product on the Silk Road in the future. Anyway, the cost of glass mirrors is not high, and it is more convenient to carry. If you take a few mirrors and sell them to the West, you will probably be able to earn a lot of money. Small benefits..."

Ying Changsheng's voice fell.

Ying Zheng nodded emphatically.

He said.

"In this case, let's do this. By the way, you just said that you have a vision. What is this vision?"

Saying that, Ying Zheng looked at Ying Changsheng curiously, and then said.

"You don't have the same idea as me, do you? Are you planning to sell mirrors to the Western Region?"

"No, no, my son didn't think of this just now, this is what the father thought of!"

Ying Changsheng shook his head again and again, it wasn't that he was flattering Brother Zheng.

But that's the fact. He really didn't think of this for a while.

I only heard Ying Changsheng smiling and talking to Ying Zheng.

"What I want to say is about Xianyang Palace!"

"Xianyang Palace?"

After hearing Ying Changsheng's words.

It is inevitable for Yingzheng to show doubts.

He was a little puzzled and muttered.

"What does this have to do with Xianyang Palace, what are you planning to do in the palace, kid?"

"Father is wise!"

Ying Changsheng nodded.

In agreement, he then said.

"My son really plans to do some projects in Xianyang Palace. Father, please take a look at this flat glass. What do you think of it?"

Said it was Ying Changsheng, and pointed to the piece of glass on the table to ask Ying Zheng.

Touching the smooth glass, Yingzheng showed a puzzled expression.

he asked.

"Well, it's good, it's transparent, it's pretty good, but what's the use of this thing? Is it used to make a glass mirror? Or is it used as a cover?"

"Father, don't you think this thing can be used to seal windows?"

After hearing what Ying Zheng said.

Ying Changsheng said to Ying Zheng with a smile.

"Seal the windows?"

After hearing Ying Changsheng's answer.

After winning Zhengdou's eyes, 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, suddenly his eyes lit up, thinking it was a good idea, he slapped his thigh and said.

"It would be a good thing if this glass can be installed in Xianyang Palace!"

"That's right, father, if all the doors and windows are equipped with glass, then the lighting in the palace will definitely be greatly improved!"
