Chapter 892 Controlling the Big Market

Transparent things are too reflective and difficult to show the carving work. In addition to inlays, plain bracelets or large flat leaves, Ruyi, and beads can better reflect the beauty of jade.

Especially with the mirrored platinum as the base, the refreshing bright green and the visual effect of a pool of green water about to overflow are truly extraordinary.

A lot of things cost Su You one and a half months' salary - 800 guan.

Of course, this is the cost price. The stone is added by the Zhenla jeweler when you buy the gem. Suyou is only equivalent to the labor fee and accessories fee.

After the polishing process is achieved, the terms "water head" and "glue feel" can be expressed in jewelry.

Shi Wei's clothes were similar to Su You's, and she was always relatively simple. After Su You put the bracelets and earrings on her, Li Shunju stood aside and praised: "The prince should have worn some jewelry appropriately, and there are also bachelors."

Also, a gentleman never leaves his body, you are all persons of status..."

Shi Wei smiled and said: "This is too inconvenient. I have to practice martial arts on weekdays and also have to go to the Tzu Chi Hospital to raise children. It's a lot of inconvenience to wear these pieces."

"Yes, I just have a few sets prepared, just in case I need them. Besides, I always carry the seal that Mr. Long gave me with me, so it can be said that it is always with me."

Su You said, opening the folding fan and fanning it a few times: "Identity is not in the clothes and accessories, but in other people's hearts."

After saying that, he put away the folding fan and said, "Has the big clam been carved?"

Li Shunju was looking at it intently and couldn't help but became furious: "Open the fan for me!"

Su You laughed loudly and threw the fan to him. Li Shunju quickly opened it, and there was a small poem on it - "Stop in the water, and look up to the lonely smoke. I want to ask the Wuxi people, who has a mountain to sell."

There is a line of small characters at the back: "On the spring day of Wuwu in Yuanfeng, I heard that Prince Shaobao was patrolling Yongjiao and Wuxi. I wanted to see the elegance and wished I couldn't do it. I came to Beijing in Zhongshushe and sent it to Kaifeng."

Li Shunju couldn't put it down after reading it: "The character Cai Yuanchang is really beautiful, but the poem is really not that good. How about I compose a poem next time and you ask him to write one for me too?"

Su You waved his hand: "Cai Yuan-chang is serving His Majesty every day now. He is afraid that he will be too busy, and all his literary thoughts may be used to deal with the imperial edict. But if you say it so clearly, isn't it a slap in the face?"

After thinking for a while, he said, "How about you use this fan first?"

Li Shun returned the fan to him angrily: "They have written clearly that the crown prince is in danger, but I can still use it? I am not that lucky!"

Shi Wei took out a paper bag: "This is the herbal tea prepared for you, Mr. Li. It's good to cool down in the hot weather. Thank you for your hard work in supervising the creation of this set of accessories for us."

"Oh, this is great." Li Shun took the medicine bag and said, "Thank you, Lord Lao. It's just a simple task for me. Come on, I'll show you two of the exquisite products here."

Many of the craftsmen here are from Sichuan, and many of them are old acquaintances of Su You. They hated Su You with a passion back then, because the craftsmanship standards proposed by Su You were indeed too high to imagine for them at the time.

But looking back more than ten or twenty years later, they have become a group of people that is unimaginable to others.

Although the things sold to foreigners are inlaid with gold and treasures, they still cannot be sold to the public. The real fine products must be prepared to be sent to the palace.

In the first room, several craftsmen are weaving toothpaste.

The ivory mat is an ivory mat. In Liu Xin's "Xijing Miscellanies" of the Han Dynasty, there is a record that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "gave Mrs. Li an ivory mat".

Mats woven from ivory silk have fine and even textures, flat and smooth surfaces, are soft and comfortable, and can be rolled up easily. When used as mats in summer, they were cooler and more pleasant than straw mats and bamboo mats, and were important tributes at that time.

"Book of Wei Hanwu Zhuan" also records: "Hanwu removed the governor of Zhizhou and presented Qibao bed and ivory mat."

The production principle is roughly as follows: "All the elephant teeth are piled up one by one, boiled until soft, and the teeth are pulled out one by one until they are as soft as threads, and then woven into a mat."

Li Shunju never believed that hard ivory could be made into soft mats before. It was Su You who knew that this thing existed in the Forbidden City in later generations, and that there was indeed such a record in history, so he decided to try it in the ivory producing area.

After many searches in Jiaozhi classics, I finally found the ancient method of making ivory silk by the Annan people. They soaked the ivory with potion and then split it along the grain. Finally, the ivory silk was obtained with a width of less than three millimeters and a thickness of only 0.5 millimeters.

After the craft was restored, weaving has become the specialty of Shu Gong bamboo silk weavers. They can even use the slight difference in the fineness of the front and back sides of the thread to weave a piece that looks white and clean on the surface, but can appear dark under the sun.

Beautiful artwork of tattoos.

Then use big brocade to make the floor, crimson brocade to sew the edges, and put it in a sandalwood box to complete it.

In addition to the precious materials, the craftsmanship is also superb.

It's magical, it's beautiful, it's... luxurious.

Compared to ivory mats, other ivory products are inferior.

I have seen the ivory work, and the second room is the clam work.

Two huge shells stand in the room. The backs have been polished to a smooth white porcelain color. The two craftsmen on the front, like old dentists, are carefully polishing the carvings on the inner surfaces with engraving pens.

There are two clam shells, one is a picture of the sea, sky and snow island, and the other is a picture of the Buddhist country in the west.

The map of the Sea, Sky and Snow Island was intended to be presented to Zhao Xu, while the map of the Western Buddhist Kingdom was presented to the Queen Mother after hearing that the Queen Mother was in poor health.

Use a small woolen wheel for polishing and very fine polishing paste to re-polish the carved surface into a mirror surface.

These two shell sculptures needed to be assembled with red sandalwood seats to complete them. After admiring them, Li Shunju took two people to work on them.

There were more carpenters, and the workshop was also very large. There were those who carved agarwood and those who planed rosewood boards. There was a platform in the middle with a fifty-to-one model of the Taishan on it.

Su You fell in love with her at first sight.

The total length of the Taishan is 150 meters. This model is reproduced at a fifty-to-one ratio and is also a full three meters long!

A variety of woods were used throughout the ship. Except for the hull, which was replaced by teak, and the keel, which was replaced by ironwood, a specialty of Cochin, all other parts were made of the original wood.

This is exactly the same as the Hangzhou-type giant ship currently under construction in Yezhou Shipyard.

In addition to the hull, all the corresponding accessories, including sail ropes and anchors, are all made to scale. All the hatches that can be opened can be opened. There is even a small ship-borne thunder cannon model inside the gun compartment.

Li Shunju called a technician. The worker removed a piece of the beech wood deck of the model, took out a small cannon that was tens of centimeters long and weighed more than 40 kilograms from the cabin, moved it outside, and filled it with a special small bag of nitrocellulose.

It can be fired according to normal artillery operation procedures!

"Hahaha ..." Su Yau rubbed his hands excitedly: "This is so fun!"

Li Shunju laughed: "Jingjing City Wall, this year can finally be completed, and the editor -in -chief of the Beijing -Chinese Army has been completed. The official family will inevitably celebrate Daqing.

Double the effort? "

Su Yau nodded: "There are still many military secrets here. It doesn't matter if we show fist on the south. Many things must be kept secret about the northern people. At that time

It's okay. "

"Without steel racks, their boats can only be 3,000 materials, not enough to be afraid."

There are still a lot of houses in the workshop in the Shipworth of Jiaozhi Road City. This is a huge handicraft city.

Those who have been visited, as well as gold work, lacquer, bamboo work, glazed work, jade work ...

In addition to undertaking national tasks, these workshops are mainly used to use the unique conditions of Jiaotong to use the raw materials gathered from all over the South China Sea to produce a variety of handicrafts, and then sell them all over the world.

A jade bamboo and bird cage alone, a full -scale silver barbarians, are sold in the city of Jingjing City.

It is a world -class huge market.

In fact, there are not many people who can understand the operation of Su Oil to this day.

Only Li Daocheng has an overall response to the pattern of Su oil. Now it seems that Xiao Su Shaobao wants to use the industrial and shipping industry in Yanye, the luxury processing industry of Jiazhou, the commercial and financial industry in Yunzhou, Meng's business and financial industry, Meng's Meng, Meng, Meng, Meng.
