No one has ever seen this object before. It is very similar to Qin bricks, but not Qin bricks. Although it also has patterns, the patterns are lifelike, and the surface is crystal clear, as smooth and shiny as women's skin.

Looking from a distance, there is a gleaming golden gate.

It is unmatched by Qin Brick.

Li Zhao grinned and said, "This is a glazed tile."

"Glazed Tile?" No one has ever heard of such a name.

Indeed, it is very unfamiliar to the people of Daqin.

Glazed tiles appeared in the first half of the sixth century. Glazed tiles were used in palaces during the Northern Wei Dynasty. They were widely used in royal buildings during the Sui and Tang dynasties. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, glazed tiles were set up in glazed tiles and then became popular among the people. However, in the Great Qin Dynasty, glazed tiles did not appear at all, and naturally no one saw them.

Pass.

It is said that glazed tiles originated in the pre-Qin period. When a famous official of the Yue Kingdom supervised the construction of the king's sword for the king of Yue, he discovered glazed tiles from the slag and later presented them to the king of Yue together with the sword. However, these are all legends. I don't know if they are true.

But judging from the expressions of several people, they probably didn't know what Liuli was talking about.

"It's just that this is something that Hao made not long ago. It still has some flaws, so it really can't afford false praise."

This is Li Zhao's true words. According to the glazed tiles he has seen in his previous life, the texture is extremely good and looks like something from heaven. However, this glazed tile still needs to be skilled in craftsmanship.

In order to increase the reputation of Shanglinyuan, Mr. Shen specifically mentioned building a landmark courtyard. Li Zhao immediately thought of glazed tiles, so he bought the secret book from the department store and let the craftsmen try to make it. These craftsmen were quite capable.

The first batch was cooked to a satisfactory level, but it was still slightly different from what I had seen in previous lives.

"Are there any flaws?" Shang Xin couldn't help but stick out his tongue after hearing this. Such a beautiful thing actually has flaws. How high is this animal's requirement for this thing?

"Very good, very good, cough!" Ying Zheng coughed on purpose, but glanced at Li Zhao with evil intentions, "Well, Li Zhao, I think this thing is very impressive, so I will send some to the palace!"

Li Zhao's expression was stagnant, and his heart was pounding. He thought to himself that this was a shameful thing, and his inner voice came out naturally.

[This Qin Shihuang really dares to think that the difficulty of firing colored glaze cannot reach the sky. It took a long time to bake it. If it really wants to be sent to the palace, how much will it cost? 】

Indeed, in order to bake these glazed tiles, Mr. Shen specially built a workshop and sent many people out to find raw materials. After many attempts and many failures, he finally fired them. It can be said that he took great pains.

[Moreover, the firing process is cumbersome and consumes a lot of manpower and financial resources. Does Qin Shihuang want to waste it? We have to talk about the price! 】

The Zhangtai Palace is so vast that if you send a little bit of it there, it won't be enough to fill the gap between your teeth, and it won't show the luxurious atmosphere of the glazed tiles. If you want to cover the entire Zhangtai Palace, it will be impossible without a long period of firing.

Li Zhao's heart ached just thinking about how much manpower, material and financial resources were required for long-term firing.

This kid!

It's been a long time since I heard this kid's voice. At first glance, it sounded a bit strange. Ying Zheng glanced at Li Zhao inadvertently and cursed.

Is this what a son can think of when he gives me something as a gift? He raised it in vain. No, he seems to have never raised it. However, the palace is so big that it requires a lot of glazed tiles, so it is appropriate to negotiate the price.

"I have had this idea for a long time, and I am afraid that your majesty will dislike it. Since your majesty likes it so much, I will send hundreds of stones to the palace." Although Li Zhao has a hundred unwillingness in his heart, he cannot show it on the surface, and he must show it. Very happy to.

The inner voice couldn't help but come out: [Baishi, why am I trying to be strong? One hundred stones is more than 10,000 kilograms, it's terrible! If you sell it, how much will it cost?]

Um!

When Ying Zheng heard this and saw Li Zhao's duplicitous expression, he really wanted to slap him. Talking about money between father and son really hurt his heart.

However, after thinking about it, the development of Shanglinyuan requires money, and as a father, he should contribute some money.

"Yeah! I'm very pleased to hear that. It's not easy to make glazed tiles! I'll give you a hundred gold." Ying Zheng said, but thought in his heart: This thing is so beautiful, it must be very expensive! One stone, one gold, one hundred gold. A stone is worth a hundred gold.

Li Zhao was overjoyed when he heard this. He just said some flattering words in such a grand manner, but to get such benefits was really pie in the sky. In fact, the cost of firing a hundred-stone glazed tile is not very high, a hundred gold, which is more than too much. Too much.

But he couldn't say that, so he quickly handed it over without any intention of rejecting it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, feeling that he was being plotted, but after all, he was his son, so let's just keep plotting! He was happy, and soon stopped thinking about it and focused on the scenery in front of him.

"Okay, let's keep walking! I want to see the electric fan and the medical clinic."
