Nine hundred and fortieth chapters glazed glittering light
You are really using your strength." Li Xingchen pretended to be angry. In fact, for him who has been through battles for a long time, this is not much strength at all, it is just a little girl acting coquettishly.
Lechang was so distressed that she knelt down to take a look. Only then did she realize that this was her husband and the one she loved. If it really hurt her, she would feel bad too. But she just wanted to fight.
I didn't really use any force to break him off...
"Sister Le'er, please don't be deceived by your husband, he's so pretending." Xiao Xiang exposed Li Xinchen without hesitation and gave Li Xinchen a provocative look as revenge for Li Xinchen teasing her just now.
And Li Xingchen waved his hand magnanimously: "This little injury and pain is nothing. Xiang'er, come here, I will tell you about yesterday's romance."
"I don't, I want to eat." Xiao Xiang refused decisively.
"Fan'er?"
"I..." Yuchi Chifan was immediately in a dilemma. Xiao Xiang was still young, and even Li Xingchen regarded her as a child, so everyone who was the same age as Li Xingchen was used to it. Who didn't know
Li Xingchen dotes on this little girl the most. But what Xiao Xiang can say casually, Yuchi Chifan dare not say.
"Husband, let's eat." Lechang really couldn't stand it anymore. This guy gave him a lot of trouble yesterday, and now he started to make things difficult for Xiao Xiang and Yuchi Chifan.
Seeing Lechang's unkind expression, Li Xingchen nodded obediently. Just after taking two mouthfuls of porridge, he heard a knock on the door.
"Your Highness, Wu Ping, the master craftsman of the Chengdu workshop, asked to see you. He said that the workshop accidentally developed a gemstone and dedicated it to Your Highness." Li Ping said outside the door.
"Bring it in first." Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows, somewhat curious.
Wu Ping, the master craftsman of the Chengdu workshop, was Ouyang Mo's first disciple in Bashu. He was a steady man and a well-known local craftsman in Bashu. Ouyang Mo admired him very much. This time Ouyang Mo led a team to inspect the north.
Regarding the construction of workshops in Hanzhong, he handed over the Chengdu workshop, which he had always regarded as his favorite, to Wu Ping.
Of course, Li Xinchen trusted Ouyang Mo very much. This former Nanchen master had devoted almost all his efforts to the industrial construction of Bashu, so basically Li Xinchen would not refuse any talent recommended by Ouyang Mo.
After all, Li Xingchen is not powerful enough to know what kind of talents there are in this era and who they are, so Ouyang Mo's recommendation is still of great reference value.
A guard came in carrying a plate, and the eyes of the three Lechang girls were quickly attracted by the shining gem on the plate.
Li Xingchen's eyes widened even more. The gem was surrounded by colorful colors, and the middle part was actually transparent. Although there were many impurities and bubbles in the middle, Li Xingchen almost blurted it out.
This is a piece of glass.
These guys actually made colored glaze.
Colored glass is actually colored glass. However, in many cases, colored glass only serves a decorative purpose, and it is very difficult to bake. Once a large number of impurities appear in it, it will affect the appearance and make it unusable.
Therefore, in ancient China, glazed tiles were only available to nobles for a long time. When the Forbidden City was built, glazed tiles were fired in a similar way as a symbol of royal dignity, thus perfectly interpreting the four words "glorious and magnificent".
However, in history, colored glaze appeared in the Song Dynasty, and was used on a large scale in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. However, until the end of the Qing Dynasty, China's colored glaze had never been as transparent as glass, or for a long time.
As an ornamental glass, it is obviously more beautiful when it is rich in color than when it is transparent.
And because glass itself is easy to break, people are not very interested in how to use it. There is even a poem to describe "colorful clouds are easy to scatter and glass is broken".
So when Li Xingchen saw Liuli, even though he was used to hiding his secrets, he almost blurted it out at this time. But luckily he didn't say it, otherwise it would be really difficult to explain.
It is actually reasonable that the workshop accidentally fired colored glaze. This is mainly because Li Xingchen has been encouraging the workshop to use the existing conditions to explore and improve products, and actively researched the exploration team after returning from the South Middle Zone.
of new minerals.
In the final analysis, Li Xingchen is encouraging the creativity of the workshop.
Creativity is the driving force for the development of industrial society. If Li Xinchen wants Bashu to no longer be limited to agriculture, he must encourage the creativity of craftsmen.
Li Xingchen never believed that the Chinese nation lacked creativity. The four great inventions and other mechanical creations that are talked about by future generations are enough to prove this. In terms of creativity, mainland civilization is no less than marine civilization.
As for why Chinese civilization gradually lost its creativity in the end, and even began to become complacent by the end of the Qing Dynasty, in Li Xingchen's opinion, this was mainly because of the lack of sufficient external pressure.
During the Han and Tang dynasties, the territory of the Chinese nation had actually expanded to four borders: the sea to the east, the Gobi and plateau to the west, the snowfields to the north, and the tropical rainforest full of miasma to the south. It could even be said that the entire China
All the land suitable for survival on the earth has been captured by the Chinese nation.
This is why the Han Dynasty "succumbed to violence".
When there is really no room for external expansion, internal conflicts will naturally intensify.
By the Ming and Qing dynasties, the same problem existed. Even by the Qing dynasty, the original threat from the north had disappeared, and rulers could easily become complacent, such as a certain emperor who proclaimed himself the "Old Man of Perfection."
This kind of complacency without external pressure naturally leads to the loss of creativity. When everyone is satisfied with the status quo, there is no way to talk about creativity. What's more, in order to strengthen the centralization of power, the Manchu rulers also suppressed these ingenious and dirty skills. This
This top-down obstruction naturally completely killed the possibility of China continuing to spontaneously move towards an industrial society, and the so-called sprout of capitalism died with it.
In contrast, the small Europe is destined to have people fighting for a small territory. In this case, how to create more effective ways to make money and kill enemies becomes more important than food and clothing.
The important issue is that only by having money and defeating the enemy can they ensure their food and clothing. Therefore, strong external pressure prevents them from losing their creativity.
Therefore, whether it is said that the Chinese nation is blessed by nature or destined, it cannot be said that this nation does not have creativity.
Looking at Liuli in front of him, Li Xingchen felt a little emotional for a moment.
He must lead this nation out of this destined fate.
