"How's it going? Does it look good?"
Zhao Ying held his hands and enthusiastically admired the school building in front of him that had been replaced with large glass windows, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
This world will eventually bear a familiar mark.
Those things from the past, whether they are water-powered continuous mills, water-powered spinning wheels, pedal spinning wheels, or curved shaft plows, columbians, and cavalry three-piece sets, actually have little to do with the lives of later generations. Except for museums, In ordinary life, it is rare to see those old objects.
But glass is different. When you see it, you feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Therefore, a few days ago, Bai Rong and others reported that after developing this kind of glass, he immediately decided to install this kind of glass in this school building.
Of course, after the next batch of glass comes out, he is going to replace it for the First Emperor and his side first. Although he likes the Qin Dynasty-style windows, they are antique, but after a long time, he really misses what he used to see in his previous life. The big windows.
The windows are bright and clean, and the years are quiet. I put a pot of green plants, live in peace and quiet, read a few idle books, watch the flowers bloom and fall, and watch the clouds roll in and relax.
This was his dream.
Unfortunately, later on, he became a social animal.
Now that I have the windows, my mood and time are gone. Every day when I come back, I want to close the curtains and sleep until dawn, and then sleep from dawn to dusk——
Of course, this ideal has not been achieved.
But now that he has the opportunity, he is still willing to replace himself with a row of large glass windows.
"It's so luxurious——"
The First Emperor ignored his eldest grandson's remarks, looked at the glazed window in front of him, and couldn't help but shake his head gently.
He naturally knew that his eldest grandson could make colored glaze, but even so, the colored glaze was a treasure of the world and had been sold for sky-high prices.
Here he is decorating the windows…
Looking at the increasingly serious face of the First Emperor, Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing, and stepped forward to hug the First Emperor's arm.
"Father, please be patient—"
Having said this, he moved forward with joy.
"Father, do you know how much the glass in front of you costs?"
When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved. He looked at his eldest grandson who almost raised his tail, and slapped him on the head angrily.
"You brat, don't be too pretentious and tell me how much it is. If you put this high-quality colored glaze outside, it would be extremely expensive. Even if you refine it yourself, it would definitely cost a lot of money..."
Zhao Ying shrank his neck very cooperatively and said cheerfully.
"The cost is about the same as ordinary windows - mainly because they are easy to break and difficult to transport. When mass production occurs in the future, it should be cheaper..."
First Emperor:……
I don’t want to deal with this piece of shit!
He walked forward, stretched out his hand, and touched it. Only then did the First Emperor turn around.
"This is what those warlocks made..."
This guy took those magicians back like rags and put them in his workshop as coolies. Naturally, the First Emperor knew it all.
"Well, they are not useless. If used well, they can be of some use..."
Zhao Ying explained cheerfully.
"If you like it, Father, I will go back and have someone replace your window with this kind of glazed window first..."
Hearing this, the First Emperor nodded with satisfaction.
"You are so arrogant, aren't you afraid of affecting the business of Liuli Shop?"
Liuli Shop is almost making money every day. In order to deceive - ahem, in order to make money, this brat even hired Yu Tian as his agent, and he even acted in a play with this brat.
He didn't believe that Zhao Ying would destroy his cash cow.
"No, I'm not planning to promote it on a large scale. I'll put it on for you, then put it on for me, and then it'll stop - the reason why I put the glazed windows here is actually to create a gold-lettered signboard..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Ying said seriously.
"Father, I want to build this school into a benchmark, even a holy place in the minds of our Da Qin scholars, so that people in the world can forget about factional disputes, and from now on be inclusive and integrated, and only know that I have the knowledge of Da Qin. …”
The First Emperor turned around and looked carefully at his eldest grandson who he had carefully cultivated. Looking at his high-spirited look, a smile gradually bloomed on his face.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
The First Emperor couldn't help but laugh to the sky, feeling more comfortable than ever before.
There is someone to succeed Da Qin!
This brat, unknowingly, already had a somewhat imperial attitude when thinking about the problem.
"I heard that you compiled your own teaching materials. I'll send you a copy later for me to look at..."
The First Emperor felt that he had to look after his grandson.
Zhao Ying nodded vigorously.
With the support of his eldest father, this school, which he has placed high hopes on, can grow rapidly in the shortest possible time and enter the world's attention.
With his hands behind his back, the First Emperor visited with great interest the school building rebuilt by his grandson. I walked to a waterside pavilion, sat down against the railing, looked at the lotus flowers and flowing water in front of me, and suddenly asked a question seemingly casually.
"I transferred Li Chen and Zhuo Yi back to Xianyang and joined the center to serve as censors together with Xu Zhi, and jointly take charge of the affairs of the four directions - what do you think..."
This suggestion from the First Emperor made Zhao Ying slightly startled.
Because the three people named Xu Zhi, Li Chen and Zhuo Yi by the First Emperor were the top three in the scholar section this year.
Legalist apprentice Xu Zhi, a disciple of Li Si, was the top scholar in Jinke. When he was first appointed, he was recommended by Li Si as the censor. He has been following Li Si to help handle government affairs.
Li Chen and Zhuo Yi, who were born in Taoism and Confucianism respectively, were appointed as the county magistrate of Qi County and the county captain of Jiujiang County respectively.
Li Chen, who was a Taoist, left Xianyang that day and went to Qi County. Zhuo Yi, who was sent to Jiujiang by a stick, temporarily stayed in Xianyang because of Chun Yuyue to assist Chun Yuyue in sorting out folk collecting materials.
Now, it is very meaningful to have these three people with different backgrounds suddenly gathered together and transferred to his side to jointly preside over the affairs of the four directions.
"I think it's pretty good——"
The shortcoming of the Qin Dynasty was not that it relied heavily on Legalism, but that it ate alone, rejected hundreds of schools of thought, and allowed one family to dominate. It directly blocked the path for other schools to rise.
Many talented people with outstanding talents were pushed to the rebel camp.
The First Emperor's proposal was obviously influenced by his own school. Of course, it may also be that he had already wanted to change it.
But regardless, it's an excellent start.
…
While Zhao Ying was accompanying the First Emperor to visit the new school he had renovated, Zhao Gao, the former CRRC magistrate and now the groom of His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson, was also receiving his brother Zhao Cheng who came to visit him in person.
However, at this moment, Zhao Gao's face was as gloomy as water.
